Stridex Natural Control Acne Triangle Pads with Salicylic Acid
What a shame these alcohol-free anti-acne pads with 1% salicylic acid are not formulated within the proper pH range!
Conditioning Acne Scrub
Another day, another anti-acne product whose formula may mean well but ends up harming skin due to the irritants it contains
Add to Faves?
Stridex At-A-Glance
Strengths: A couple of benzoyl peroxide options that are fragrance- and irritant-free.
Weaknesses: All the pads with salicylic acid contain irritants such as menthol, alcohol, or witch hazel; poor cleansers; no oil-absorbing products; no effective AHA or BHA products.
Long a drugstore staple in the anti-acne section of skin-care products, Stridex, like so many lines aimed at blemish-prone skin, has yet to offer an effective range of products. None of the options with salicylic acid are advisable due to the presence of needless irritants, and the cleansers share the same problem. The only bright spot is that Stridex offers two benzoyl peroxide products. They both include 2.5% as an active ingredient, an amount many will find successful, and these are effective, irritant-free, and affordable. Otherwise, this line is seemingly convinced that the path to clear skin involves lots of menthol. If menthol were an anti-acne ally, this line would be a slam-dunk—but it isn't. There isn't a shred of research showing menthol has any benefit for skin, for blemishes or for any skin type. Using these products with their injurious irritants will only hinder skin's healing process and worsen the inflammation seen in most cases of acne.

Effects of Potassium Citrate in Urine of Children With Elevated Calcium in Urine and Kidney Stones

- How to Read a Study Record
High amounts of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria) can cause development of kidney stones in children. Treatment for these children includes plenty of fluids, a low-salt diet and medications such as potassium citrate. A major advantage of potassium citrate, as compared to hydrochlorothiazide, is its lack of side effects. One problem the researchers and others have observed is that some children continue to form kidney stones despite correction of hypercalciuria with potassium citrate. One possible explanation is that in some individuals potassium citrate therapy results in an excessive elevation of urine pH, a situation that may predispose to calcium phosphate stone formation. In this study, the researchers will study the effects of potassium citrate on urine chemistries and acid-base balance in three groups of children aged 5-17 years:
- children who are hypercalciuric stone formers;
- healthy children without a history of hypercalciuria or kidney stones.
Particular attention will be paid to try to identify those who develop a very high urine pH (>8) and the factors leading to this metabolic reaction.
The researchers will try to learn whether it is the child's characteristics, the disease manifestations, the dose of the drug, or a combination of the above which may be the cause of the development of very alkaline urine. Based on the results, the researchers hope to be able to better "tailor" the individual treatment for each child with kidney stones.

|Urinary Chemistry and Acid-Base Effects of Potassium Citrate in Children With Idiopathic Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis
- Changes in urine pH, citrate, calcium and bicarbonate after treatment with increasing doses of potassium citrate [ Time Frame: Duration of protocol ]
|Study Start Date:
|July 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2007
Hypercalciuria is a common clinical pediatric problem that in some children is associated with renal stones. Most renal stones (80%) are formed by calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate phases (apatite), and brushite (calcium monohydrogen phosphate). Hypercalciuria can be either primary (accounts for the vast majority of children with calcium stones) or secondary. Treatment for children with calcium stones involves non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions. Non-pharmacological interventions include high fluid intake, low sodium, and potassium enhanced diet, with RDA calcium and protein. Historically, the specific treatment for hypercalciuric stone formers has included thiazides, which reduce calciuria, lower the urinary saturation of calcium oxalate and phosphate, and restore normal intestinal calcium absorption. However thiazides induce hypokalemia and hypocitraturia, and the latter attenuates the beneficial effects of the drug on stone formation. Currently, the drug of choice replacing thiazides in treating idiopathic hypercalciuria is potassium citrate. Potassium citrate is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and after being excreted in the urine, it inhibits the crystallization of stone forming calcium salts by binding the calcium ion, thus decreasing its urinary saturation and inhibiting the nucleation and crystal growth of calcium oxalate; therefore, potassium citrate is an effective stone inhibitor agent. A major advantage of potassium citrate is its lack of side effects. One of the problems seen in clinical practice is that some children with primary hypercalciuria, even after the calciuria is treated successfully with potassium citrate, continue to develop stones. It has been suggested that an elevation in urine pH, seen in some patients treated with potassium citrate, may result in an alkaline urinary milieu which promotes calcium phosphate stone formation. In this study, the researchers plan to investigate the effects of potassium citrate on urine chemistries and acid-base balance in children who are hypercalciuric stone formers. The researchers will try to identify whether the beneficial effects of potassium citrate supplementation on lowering urine calcium and increasing citrate might be offset by too high urine pH (>8) which could promote the formation of calcium phosphate stones. Three groups of subjects aged 5-17 years will be studied: group 1 - idiopathic hypercalciuric stone formers; group 2 - idiopathic hypercalciuric non-stone formers; and group 3 - normocalciuric subjects. Three visits will be scheduled for each participant, and the subjects will receive two doses of potassium citrate. Urine chemistries and acid-base parameters will be measured. The researchers will try to learn whether it is the child's characteristics, the disease manifestations, the dose of the drug, or a combination of the above which may be the cause of the development of very alkaline urine. Based on the study results, the researchers hope to be able to better "tailor" the individual treatment for each child with kidney stones due to idiopathic hypercalciuria.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate writer
Prescription pain relievers are controlled substances that have a potential for addiction. And since they can be easily misused, the medications must be prescribed.
But this requirement has not stopped the abuse of prescriptions.
According to Carbon Metro Drug Task Force agents, rising prescription med problems have likely already overtaken methamphetamine in terms of abuse.
One death per day in the state of Utah is due to prescribed drug abuse, indicated the task force representatives.
Unlike meth, pain relievers are only available through pharmacies and a black market demand has arisen with street prices of certain drugs approaching $1 per milligram. Oxy Contin can approach nearly $80 per pill and undercover agents make buys on a daily basis, confirmed the task force.
Obtaining the drugs can be difficult since the meds are only prescribed to people with legitimate needs.
To meet demand, medications are often stolen from prescription holders.
A local pharmacist indicated that people who attempt to refill prescriptions early frequently remember visits from relatives or friends of relatives shortly before of running out of the medications.
Although many of the addictive pain relievers have been around for decades, the abuse has not been well documented locally.
But because the meds are derived from opioids, the same base for heroin, the drugs carry significant risk of addiction.
Local task force agents have been watching drug trends in Utah County to get a heads up in Carbon. Authorities believe that, once a big crack down on pills begins, there will be a major rise in local heroin use. Heroin is cheaper, but the illicit drug is about as difficult to find as prescriptions.
The number of heroin cases investigated by the task force have not increased significantly.
But local law enforcement authorities expect the number to climb as prescriptions become more regulated and doctors become more aware of the problems.
According to the drug task force, there does not appear to be much overlap between prescription pain med and meth users, in part because the highs generated by the two are completely different.
Meth reportedly provides more of a rush while pain pills produce more of a euphoric state.
As far as health concerns, meth is far worst, although the street drug and prescribed medications can both take control over an individual's life.
Age wise, the task force indicates that it is mostly youth who are using the drugs. Some youth start using prescribed meds after being hurt or having surgery, while others pop the pain relievers for recreational purposes.
In addition to an internal database system to compare prescription holders, most pharmacies have access to a statewide system called the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing.
The statewide system helps doctors, law enforcement and pharmacists identify potential abusers.
In place in its current form since 2006, DOPL also helps identify people who might be doctor shopping.
Pharmacies do not, however, have access to each other's databases. But when a person appears to be abusing prescriptions, the pharmacists have some authority to limit individuals on amounts, indicated the local drug task force.

Attorney: Taylor Bridge fire victims plan to sue state
CLE ELUM, Wash. -- The nearly 60 Taylor Bridge fire victims now plan to sue the state for damages, according to their attorney Mike Helgren.
Helgren told KIMA the state failed to get the construction companies to comply with "reasonable fire precautions," and didn't adequately respond to the fire once it started.
"If the state had done its job, the fire wouldn't have started," said Helgren.
Nearly 60 fire victims are currently listed on the lawsuit, but Helgren said that number will grow Friday when paperwork is filed in Kittitas County, adding the State of Washington as a defendant.
More than 60 homes burned in the fire last summer.
Investigators say welding at a construction site with crews from Conway Construction and Rainier Steel started the blaze back in August.

Nine dead in Bengal floods, army out in East Midnapore
Flood fury raged in four West Bengal districts claiming nine lives over the past four days while the army was deployed in East Midnapore district to repair a 75-metre embankment, officials said Thursday.
Eighty blocks are affected, over 83,000 hectares of crops destroyed and 71,000 makeshift and permanent houses damaged in the calamity, caused by days of heavy rainfall due to cyclone Phailin and release of water into rivers by the reservoirs in Jharkhand.
The situation was grim in East Midnapore district where seven deaths have been reported, officials said.
An army column was deployed to seal a breach in an embankment on river Kangsabati that caused a worrisome situation in the lower parts of East Midnapore.
"The flow of water along the breach is fast and sealing the breach is underway which poses a challenge. The troops from the Barrackpore army cantonment are presently working round-the-clock to restore the embankment even as additional columns from Sukhna cantonment are also on their way to the site.
"Additional columns are also on stand-by with boats for any relief or rescue operations, if the situation so demands," said a defence ministry release.
The state's disaster management department said that while the water level has gone down in parts of the affected districts, fresh areas were inundated.
"In all, 260 relief camps have been set up to shelter around 81,560 people in the flooded zones," disaster management department joint secretary Amit Chowdhury told media persons.
State Rural Development Minister Subrata Mukherjee made a round of the inundated areas of West Midnapore district Thursday, and later said that though the situation improved in Dantan, the water has not receded in other areas of the district.
"People are taking shelter on highways, schools and relief centres set up by the government," he said.
An East Midnapore district official said the flood situation was under control though new areas in Nandakumar and Tamluk were submerged Thursday.
There was flooding in the Udaynarayanpur area of Howrah district and certain blocks like Khanakhul and Arambag in Hooghly district were also submerged.
The floods triggered a political blame game, with the opposition parties taking the state's Trinamool government to task for "inadequate" and "partisan" distribution of relief and skyrocketing prices of edibles.
State Congress president Pradip Bhattacharya accused the government of indulging in politics over the availability of essential commodities in flood-hit districts.
"Staples like rice, baby food, drugs are not reaching the flood-hit areas and those that are reaching are being subjected to party politics. That's the worse part," said Bhattacharya.
The opposition Left Front alleged that the government was caught "unprepared" to tackle the crisis.
Claiming that nearly 10 lakh people have been affected in the floods, leader of opposition in the assembly Surjya Kanta Mishra said boats have not been sent to the inundated areas to rescue the people.
"Even where boats are there, their number is grossly inadequate. The relief that is being distributed is also insufficient," said Mishra, also a Communist Party of India-Marxist politburo member.
Meanwhile, Damodar Valley Corporation officials denied allegations by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that it released water from its reservoirs without informing the state government.
A DVC spokesperson said it discharged only 32,000 cusecs of water from two of its reservoirs during the day, while the government officials claimed the figures were higher.

While golf's greats were still hitting the links at this year's Arnold Palmer Invitational in Bay Hill on Monday, video game fanatics are waiting for Tuesday morning. That's when Tiger 14, the EA Sports video game, goes on sale and for the first time, golf legend and Central Florida great Arnold Palmer is 'in the game'.
Scott Gilbert is the modeler for Tiger 14. He made two Palmer's for gamers to choose from- a late 50s early 60s Palmer and an early 70s version of the king.
"The younger Palmer was a lot easier, he's more iconic i think," said Gilbert, who explained that each face takes weeks to create.
First, Gilbert studied pictures of Palmer and then got to work on his computer.
"We usually start with something that looks like an average looking head, two eyes, a nose, a mouth and work in all the details," said Gilbert, "He has a very distinctive mouth shape. The corners. The shape of his eyelids. Of course the hair shape."
But of course, Palmer had the final say on his own likeness and his own swing.
"The hardest part for me is getting it to look like Arnold Palmer. Nobody swings that way anymore," said Gilbert.
Dan Whiting had to recreate that.
He started by having a golf pro imitate Palmer's swing while wearing an early motion capture suit.
"He's got all the little markers on him that will capture his motion... all his little quirks... windup... swing... that unique way he pauses then brings it down," explains Whiting who uses the information from those markers to recreate Palmer's swing.
"The reason why he has this lovely plaid outfit is so that we can see where the geometry might be twisting during some of these motions," said Whiting.
Whiting needed three months to get Palmer's approval on the swing.
"The sort of feedback we'd get from his people ... keep his arms straight through the whole thing, bring the elbows in, more rip in the hips and bring the club down and watch it as it goes," said Whiting.
Local 6 Sports director David Pingalore asked Palmer what the process was like for him being in the game.
"It was fun," said Palmer, "Tiger was great ... came through with flying colors."

History buffs will want to trace the steps of the early setters with a stroll down Creek Street, a suspended boardwalk populated by colorful houses, once a hub for brothels, and now home to a variety of eclectic shops.
The unbridled beauty and sheer size of Misty Fjords National Monument in Tongass National Forest is a nature lover's paradise, providing all who enter with sweeping views of rugged mountain peaks, glaciers, rushing waterfalls, lakes and wondrous wildlife that defy description. Additionally, Deer Mountain Tribal Hatchery and Eagle Center, overlooking Ketchikan Creek, includes observation areas where you can glimpse spawning salmon and enjoy an up-close encounter with 2 bald eagles.
Local Culture and Flavor
With a population of approximately 7,800, Ketchikan is the 5th largest city in the state, despite being only 12 blocks long. Because the city takes so much pride in its native roots, it's impossible not to feel its influence wherever you roam, be it in the city center or off the beaten track. Major attractions boast towering totem poles celebrating the various tribes indigenous to the area while shops both big and small offer one-of-a-kind hand-carved items for tourists.
Billed as the "Salmon Capital of the World," Ketchikan's economy is—and always has been—primarily based on fishing. The waters surrounding the town teem with 5 types of salmon: King, Red, Silver, Pink and Chum, making it a destination of choice for professional and amateur fishermen the world over.
Past and Present
Ketchikan's humble beginnings began when a salmon saltery was established in 1883. Then in 1885, 160 acres of land were purchased from local Native Americans and—a year later—the first salmon cannery was built at the mouth of the Ketchikan Creek. By 1900, the fishing trade was flourishing and the town was officially founded. Ketchikan, already successful from industrial fishing, soon branched out and became a valuable mining supply center due to the discovery of gold and copper in the region, followed by a flourishing logging industry that continued throughout the 20th century.
Today, Ketchikan remains a treasured tourist destination where some of the world's most awe-inspiring natural wonders share center stage with an intriguing and inspiring Native Alaskan culture.
Fun Facts & Tips
The population in Ketchikan is approximately 7,500, making it the 5th most populous city in Alaska.
Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek which flows through the town.
Ketchikan's zip code, 99950, is the highest zip code assigned in the United States.

CANTON St. Lawrence County wants to be at the front of the line for one of three casinos proposed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for upstate.
At a Monday committee meeting, a majority of legislators approved working with their economic enhancement committee, other elected officials, the county Chamber of Commerce and county Industrial Development Agency to push St. Lawrence to the forefront.
Its in an exploratory stage, said Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington.
In his State of the State address, Gov. Cuomo proposed three casinos outside of New York City as a way to revitalize the economy and boost tourism upstate. Other communities also are beginning to talk about their interest in hosting a casino, including Tupper Lake. A competition is expected to pick the locations.
The county needs to gather its economic development and tourism specialists to map out a strategy, said Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, the chairman of the Legislatures Economic Enhancement Committee.
The governor hasnt been specific in what we need to do, Mr. Burns said. The more we have involved, the better.
The state Legislature passed a constitutional amendment last year allowing up to seven casinos. To take effect, the amendment would have to be approved again by the Legislature and passed by voters in November.
Casinos that operate upstate are all controlled by American Indians, and Gov. Cuomo said the state would honor existing gambling compacts in good standing. He specifically mentioned the Senecas who operate casinos in Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Salamanca but not the Mohawks, who operate a casino in Franklin County, County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
Neither the states compact with the Senecas nor the St. Regis Indian Reservation is in good standing. The Senecas have withheld millions from the state in protest of operations at racetracks in their coverage area.
St. Regis also has held back money owed the state because of a dispute over gaming exclusivity. More than $12 million is owed to St. Lawrence and Franklin counties and the towns of Massena, Brasher, Bombay and Fort Covington. The problem: a small, unlicensed Native American casino has been operating for years on state land about 20 miles northwest of Plattsburgh. The Mohawks of St. Regis say the Mohawks of the Warrior Society who run the small casino in Altona violate their exclusivity agreement with the state.
The loss of revenue has hurt the county, which could be eased by a state-sanctioned casino, said Legislator Sallie A. Brothers, D-Norfolk.
Its worth pursuing, she said. That opens up the door to get some money.
The county hired Wladis Law Firm, Syracuse, in August to offer advice and to represent it in a lawsuit if it pursues one for the withheld funds. The county met with tribal representatives in December and is scheduled to have another meeting Thursday.
We need to be very careful how we approach this, Mrs. Brothers said. This is a sensitive issue.
Legislator Gregory M. Paquin, D-Massena, was absent and Legislators Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon, and Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid, were against pushing for a casino.
The county has better opportunities to pursue in agriculture than in gaming, which could result in more people with gambling addictions, Mr. Acres said.

PAWTUCKET --- You can tell a business is booming when after three months in operation, the owners have been so busy that they havenŌĆÖt found the time to plan a Grand Opening ceremony.
ThatŌĆÖs been the case with the ownership group of DH Hitting, LLC, a baseball and softball indoor training facility on 70 Vineyard St. in Pawtucket that opened its doors last Nov. 16 and hasnŌĆÖt slowed down since the very first swings were taken in their batting tunnels.
Davies Tech softball coach Scott Cooper, his father, Ray Cooper (a football and hockey coach at Tolman throughout the 1980s), and former Exeter/West Greenwich High softball coach Steve Hoard are the proud owners of DH Hitting, and all three are focused on the same goal ŌĆö giving softball and baseball players of all ages and levels (from the area and beyond) an opportunity to sharpen their talents year-round.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve had a lot of kids coming here everyday since we opened our doors,ŌĆØ Scott Cooper said during a break in his hectic schedule on Thursday afternoon in the spacious hallway of DH Hitting. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve had teams come here from as far as Norton, Mass. and players from Grafton, Medford, and Attleboro. SAGRA (the South Attleboro Girls Recreation Association) has already booked over 120 hours with us. ItŌĆÖs been huge.ŌĆØ
Cooper and his father had been throwing around the idea of opening an indoor facility ŌĆ£for quite some time, the past three years,ŌĆØ but the wheels quickly got into motion last summer during a discussion Cooper and Hoard had while Cooper was coaching HoardŌĆÖs 13-year-old daughter, Tori, on CooperŌĆÖs East Coast Drama, Inc. U-14 girlsŌĆÖ softball travel team, one of the DramaŌĆÖs five ballclubs.
ŌĆ£Steve said, ŌĆśYou know, IŌĆÖd love to open my own place,ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ recalled Cooper, ŌĆ£and it was kind of funny because me and my father had been throwing the idea around, so I said, ŌĆ£Steve, why donŌĆÖt you go talk to my dad? I want you to tell him what you were talking about, but I want my father to give you the answer.
ŌĆ£They were talking, and then Steve came back up to me and said, ŌĆśYou got to be kidding me! You guys were talking about this for three years?ŌĆÖ So the three of us eventually sat down and had a discussion, and we said, ŌĆśThis is what weŌĆÖre going to do. LetŌĆÖs do it and run with it.ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ
And run with it they did. The first order of business was finding a location for their facility, and they checked out warehouses in East Providence, Pawtucket, Providence, Johnston, and Smithfield before settling on the old Dortek Manufacturing building.
ŌĆ£It was very dark, dingy, and gloomy, and there were three to four inches of dirt and dust on the floor,ŌĆØ said Cooper. ŌĆ£But we were talking over 20,000 square feet of room. It was huge. I knew this was the place.
ŌĆ£It took a good month of work. My father and I actually did all of the work in there ourselves, and we were going at it for 18-20 hours on some days. But we had no choice because the weather was getting cold and I needed a home for my East Coast Drama organization for the winter.ŌĆØ
Once the work was completed, DH Hitting was ready for business, and among its features are...
ŌĆö A full-size regulation turf infield for softball or Little League baseball with 60-foot basepaths, as well as one three-quarter sized infield in an adjacent room reserved for the East Coast DramaŌĆÖs teams.
ŌĆö Thirteen lanes for pitching and hitting.
ŌĆö Four Major League regulation-sized pitching mounds.
ŌĆö Ten hitting wheels and pitching machines.
ŌĆö The option of using dimple or real baseballs and softballs.
ŌĆö A recreation room for the Drama players and parents, complete with two small flat-screen TVs in the far corners of the room, couches, a refrigerator, and a microwave.
ŌĆ£We saved up our coaching money that we made over the past few years,ŌĆØ admitted Cooper. ŌĆ£We paid for everything inside here all out of our pockets. No loans, no nothing. ItŌĆÖs been all blood, sweat, and tears.ŌĆØ
While the three owners have put in a lot of money, they havenŌĆÖt been asking for a lot in return in the prices they are offering for an annual membership or hourly rentals of the facility.
The annual membership fee is dirt cheap at $200 per person and $495 for a family membership of three or more children. Members have the green light to use the facilityŌĆÖs batting cages and pitching mound, as well as the machines and balls.
Non-members can also use the cages and mound for $15 per half hour or $25 per hour. The entire training room (includes up to five pitching and hitting lanes, the machines and balls, and use of the turf infield area) is available at $125 per hour.
ŌĆ£The way the economy is, and the way that baseball and softball teams around here are trying to survive, its very tough,ŌĆØ said Cooper. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not trying to kill anybody with our prices. ItŌĆÖs $200 per kid for the year. And IŌĆÖm offering a whole room for $125 an hour. Where can you get that?ŌĆØ
The low prices and the quality of the facility and its equipment have kept the phones at DH Hitting ringing off the hook for reservations, and because of that, Cooper has some advice for those who wish to reserve some time at the facility.
ŌĆ£Call us right away,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs first come, first serve. People need to call us right away. ItŌĆÖs been crazy here, and so far, the weekends have been packed. If you drive by Vineyard Street, youŌĆÖll see about 50 cars on that street, from 8 a.m. to 10 at night.ŌĆØ
While the facility primarily caters to young softball and baseball players, Cooper also hopes to draw more adult slowpitch softball players, especially those that play in weekend tournaments at the nearby Hank Soar Complex.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre just 200 yards away from Hank Soar,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a very short walk. I know thereŌĆÖs a tournament there almost every weekend, and we can cater to the teams that play there and want to take some swings off our machines while theyŌĆÖre looking to kill time in between games.ŌĆØ
But make no mistake about it, itŌĆÖs the kids that matter the most at DH Hitting, and the No. 1 reason why the Coopers and Hoard wanted to create their spacious facility.
ŌĆ£We want to see the kids around these parts of the woods get what they deserve,ŌĆØ said Cooper. ŌĆ£We have some great athletes around here, and we want to offer them a place where they can get the proper training that they need to succeed in their careers.
ŌĆ£I want to read the paper and see a girl or a boy thatŌĆÖs been practicing in my facility -- busting their tails for the past three or four months -- doing something good for their high school teams,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£Even though they play for other teams and just work out at my facility, I want to say, ŌĆśThatŌĆÖs one of my kids.ŌĆÖ That would be awesome.ŌĆØ

BARNES CORNERS Despite some lingering opposition on environmental and legal grounds, the Snirt Run is running full-throttle toward its 10th anniversary.
Its become very popular, said Gary R. Stinson, president of the Barnes Corners Sno-Pals snowmobile club.
The club, which organizes the annual all-terrain vehicle rally, set an event record last year with 3,546 registered riders.
And, according to Mr. Stinson, the 10th annual poker run Saturday could surpass that figure.
One major enticement will be the door prize: a 2013 Can Am Renegade 800 four-wheeler donated by Bombardier Recreational Products.
I think that will attract quite a few right there, Mr. Stinson said.
All registered participants in the ride will receive an entry in the drawing, and additional entries are available for $10 each.
A 2012 Can Am 650 Outlander XT all-terrain vehicle was given away at the ninth annual run.
The registration fee remains at $10 per machine, as it has been since the events inception, Mr. Stinson said.
ATV stickers denoting Snirts 10th anniversary will be given out to participants, and commemorative shirts will also be for sale, he said.
One ongoing issue that continues to befuddle event organizers is participants inability to register most side-by-side utility vehicles, known as UTVs, despite their growing popularity and presence at Snirt.
There were a lot of them last year, Mr. Stinson said.
The majority of the machines which include a passenger seat and additional safety features such as seat belts and rollover bars weigh more than 1,000 pounds and cannot be registered in New York state, making them illegal to operate on roads or trails.
State legislation to increase an ATVs weight limit from 1,000 pounds to 1,500 pounds has passed in the Senate the past couple of years but has gained no traction in the Assembly.
Lewis County Sheriffs Department officials gave their deputies discretion at last years event on whether to charge UTV riders for driving unregistered vehicles, and no such tickets were issued. However, some machines were ticketed in Jefferson County.
This year, department officials petitioned Albany for a one-day exemption that would allow the machines to be legally used in the Snirt Run but were unsuccessful.
Because of that, Mr. Stinson said he is advising riders not to use UTVs at the event.
If they do bring it, they run the risk of getting a ticket, he said.
Event detractors over the years have also complained the preseason ATV ride harms the environment.
However, that hasnt stopped the number of registered riders at the daylong Snirt Run whose name comes from snow and dirt from growing nearly every year.
Proceeds from the event will help the Sno Pals undertake repairs to areas of their snowmobile trail system and cover grooming expenses, including about $25,000 for fuel, from the past winter, Mr. Stinson said.
Our expenses were about double what we were funded for, he said, referring to state trail maintenance money.
The Snirt Run does not take place on the countys ATV trail system, so a permit is not required.
Instead, the event takes place on roads opened to ATVs either year-round or just for the day of the event.
Preregistration will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Sno-Pals groomer barn, Timberview Resort, Turin, or the Edge Hotel, Lyons Falls. Registration is from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday at Sno-Pals groomer barn, Timberview Resort or Barrows Performance. Proof of registration and insurance is mandatory.
New this year, a liability waiver form has been posted on the Sno Pals website.
That will allow participants to fill out the form, which has been required at past Snirt runs prior to the event to streamline the registration process, Mr. Stinson said.

Pineapple Pork Tenderloin CrockPot Recipe
Oh this is good. I made 3 pounds, and packed it up to give away to 2 different families last week.
I followed Shirley's recipe that she posted on the original pork post----this is a winner. My friend Georgia has 4 children, and she said they all loved it.
The Ingredients.
3 pound pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
2 tablespoons gluten free soy sauce
1/2 cup apple juice
16 ounces frozen pineapple
The Directions.
I used a 4 quart crockpot. Combine meat, sugar, spices, and cornstarch in a plastic zipper bag. Seal and shake well to coat. Pour contents of bag into crockpot. Add garlic and peppers. Pour in soy sauce, apple juice, and an entire bag of frozen pineapple.
Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours, or on high for 4-6. I cooked ours on high for 2 hours, then on low for another 6. When I took it out of the pot it was slimy, but still held much of it's shape.
Serve with rice or pasta. Georgia served it with pasta.
The Verdict.
Boy this smelled amazing while it was cooking. The original recipe called for canned pineapple, but I already had frozen in the freezer. I think using the frozen worked well, and didn't provide too much extra moisture, which would have caused the pineapple to disappear. The peppers retained their color and shape---the key with softer veggies like peppers are to put them on top of the meat so they aren't simmering in liquid all day.
This was a huge hit. Thank you to Shirley!

Mmmm. You can'y go wrong with pork and pineapple.

Thanks for the good tip about the softer veggies. I never would have thought of that, but it makes obvious sense, doesn't it?

This is similar to a pork dish I make quite frequently in my crock, though I tend more toward an Asian flavor than Italian. Since hubby and I don't like mushy vegies, I wait until about an hour before serving before adding the vegies and pineapple and make sure the temp is set to low. It's enough time for the flavor to get into the meat but still keep the vegies on the firm side instead of soft and mushy. Of course, this only works if you are home an hour before mealtime to add the stuff.
- February 18, 2009 at 10:25 AM
Oh my gosh this looks so yummy! You can almost smell it from the picture lol
My husband does not like pork, weird I know, BUT he will eat pork tenderloin - don't ask :) I am going to make this for sure on the weekend.
I want to use canned pineapple since I have 4 cans of it ...not sure why lol. Do you think it will be as good with the canned?
Thank you for yet another great recipe.

Hi, just saw you on Good Morning America. You look younger on tv than on your blog. I guess that's a good thing. :)
I've tried some of your recipes and I'll be trying more, for sure.
Sorry the guy got your name wrong. Oh, well, all in a day's work.
Good job!

Where do you find frozen pineapple? We don't have it here in Hawaii that I can find. :(
- February 19, 2009 at 11:01 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi anon,
Hawaii! Wow, that's because you probably have the real deal! I'd use fresh rather than canned, if you don't mind cutting it up. The canned will work just fine (drain first), but will most likely disappear after being slow cooked for so long. If you'd like to have chunks, add another drained can 30 min before serving.

Any suggestions on how to avoild the "slimy" part - that has me worried!
- February 21, 2009 at 8:52 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
lol, don't worry about the slimy comment----most food that comes out of a slow cooker is pretty wet; but what was cool with this is that it didn't fall apart completely even though it was cooked so long.
and it tasted fantastic!
- February 21, 2009 at 10:33 AM
- Robin said...
Just found your blog from another and can't wait to try some of the recipes. I do have a question though. Anytime I use the crock pot, my meat/chick is always very tender but seems dry. Any suggestions to avoid this?
- February 23, 2009 at 12:56 PM
- Erika said...
Having this for dinner tonight--I think the "slimy" comes from the corn starch covering the pork. Next time I make it, I think I'll put the corn starch in the bottom so that it mixes w/ all the juices w/o leaving a residue on the pork... Looking forward to it!
- February 23, 2009 at 1:43 PM
- Barbara said...
Thank you for this recipe. I made it yesterday and it is fantastic. One difference, I did not have peppers in the morning so I started the pork as directed without the veggies. I came home at lunch and turned the pork over before adding the veggies on top. I think turning it prevented the slimyness and cooked the outer part of the pork evenly. I served it with rice and a broccoli/peppers dish. Again, thank you!
- February 25, 2009 at 5:53 AM
Awesome recipe. I made this earlier in the week and the kids fought over who would get leftovers. I used canned pineapple chunks partially drained. They held their shape and were very good. Definitely a thumbs up in my house
- February 25, 2009 at 12:28 PM
- ldbeams said...
I'm so glad you're doing pork recipes. Just got a great buy on tenderloin and always looking for a way to cook it while keeping it moist instead of all dried out. Thank you so much!
- February 26, 2009 at 8:04 AM
I made this for company this week and they ATE it up! As another poster suggested, I added the peppers and pineapple to the top of the meat for the last hour of cooking. I didn't mince the garlic, just sliced it b/c we like slivers of garlic. I servied it w/ roasted sweet potatoes and fresh corn on the cob. We'll definitely be having this again.
- May 31, 2009 at 11:02 AM
- Lisa said...
This was AWESOME! Rave reviews from my guests and soooooo easy! It'll also make great leftovers. We dipped artisan bread in the juices and it was delicious!
- October 2, 2009 at 4:53 PM
- Stephanie said...
I tried this recipe for dinner tonight. It was okay, but nothing special. My husband said "The pork tastes like pork," meaning it didn't really absorb the flavors of everything else. Oh well. I want to try the Peanut Butter Pork next. My husband thinks peanut butter with meat sounds weird, but it sounds delicious to me!
- November 4, 2009 at 7:54 PM
- Emma said...
I made this one for dinner using half of a pork loin instead of the tenderloin. The flavor was fantastic, and my very picky 8 year old said "Best recipe you ever made!" and asked for a second helping. The meat itself was moist and had good flavor. As luck would have it, pork loin was on sale last week for 1.49 a pound, and the fresh peppers were on sale this week for 1.25 each. So that made this meal economical as well!
I noticed that you have an onion in the picture but not listed in the recipe, so I did not include one. Do you know if you included one when you made it?
- January 27, 2010 at 3:57 PM
- Blair said...
Pretty good! Everyone in my family enjoyed it over rice. I liked your tip about putting the veggies on top. I'll have to remember that because I really don't like "crockpot veggie mush." I almost think it could have used more vegetables just for a little extra texture. I'm thinking broccoli maybe, if it could retain a little crunch.
- April 25, 2010 at 5:42 PM
- Susan said...
Blair, I like the idea of adding more veggies, but would stay away from broccoli as it tends to add a bitter flavor (love it steamed, though!)
Perhaps sweet potatoes, different kinds of squash, maybe diced green beans...
- July 16, 2010 at 2:47 PM
- Julie said...
OMG - I filled my 6-qt crock hoping for some leftovers. They. Ate. It. ALL. Seriously, my whiny picky babies ate the crap outta this stuff! Thanks so much for sharing this one!
- September 18, 2012 at 4:15 PM
- SheKnits said...
I'm curious if you used the onion I see in the photo above. Seems like it might be good in there for added flavor. Just wondering.
- January 11, 2013 at 5:54 AM
- Elizabeth Tarlow said...
This looks like the perfect recipe...thanks for the post! I have a fresh Pineapple that I need to use; do you think it would work as well as the frozen or canned Pineapple?
- May 8, 2015 at 10:56 AM
- Stephanie ODea said...
Hi Elizabeth, it would! There isn't as much liquid in the fresh as in the can or frozen, sometimes. I'd probably add another 1/4 cup of juice just in case. Enjoy!

Just got the offering items, pretty decent exchange I think.
I have rediscovered Drow Ranger. Can't believe I avoided playing her. Nothing but easy wins with her, except obviously stomp games where my team goes 1-35 in first 15 minutes, other than that it's win-win. Also, seeing how many builds are saying you to get Shadow Blade, I honestly feel it is a huge waste of resources. Instead of Shadow Blade you can rather build Helm of Dominator and Crystalis and you will be hit like a ****ing truck even early game. Engaging without Shadow Blade might be a little harder, but the engagement does not make it OK to spend 3000 gold on an item which can easily be countered and made useless by Dust (180 gold for 2 uses) and Sentry Wards (2 for 200 gold).
Just go Power Treads > Helm of Dominator (so you can switch to semi-jungle/full jungle farming if lane very hard and farm is low, also to be able to exchange more damage and survive easier + start stacking those ancient camps by yourself) > Crystalis (pretty much the point where you just become a killiing machine)
The rest is really up to what enemies you are facing. Black King Bar would be recommended but if there aren't many stuns on enemy team I don't see why you should get, then better go for Satanic immediately or Butterfly if you know your team can cover your ass.
EDIT: This is how Drow Ranger looks like. No, that loss doesn't count because the game ended at 15 minutes, Sniper mid was 1/10 and top lane was 0/8 together. All the others were decent games, good chances for both teams.

Yes, that is a great build. I'm not a big fan of Lothars on Drow either. I like getting an early manta on her as well, I love the extra survivability and move speed.
Lost another game with Drow but only because of dumbasses again. 25 minute game with 2 feeders, Io and Slardar, 0/16 and 1/23 accordingly. Other than troll games like these my Drow run has been flawless which makes it 13 wins in a row.
Made my own build I play every game.

So apparently me with 4 other random pubbies were in the top 10% who dealt the most damage to Year Beast in 2nd cycle and I got Genuine Redhoof. Pleasant surprise :3
On another note, hoping to get my ranking up more. Got it up 200 points 2 weeks ago, and this week it went down about 120. On the bright side, it's slowly climbing...

RETRO VIDEO — Mike Bossy and Wayne Gretzky Discuss 1983 and 1984 SC Finals
(picture via GreatestHockeyLegends.com)
"One of the things that people didn't understand; they always thought there was this hatred of the Oilers and the Islanders," explains Wayne Gretzky in the video below, from the documentary Ultimate Gretzky. "That really wasn't the case. As a team and as players, we idolized the Islanders."
As you well know, the Islanders swept the Oilers in four games in 1983. The next year the Oilers would turn the tables and win the series in five games, ending one dynasty and starting one of their own.

On January 22, 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Roe v. Wade. The effect of that decision has made abortion on demand legal in the United States. Randall K. O'Bannon, director of research for National Right to Life, estimates the total number of abortions in the United States passed the 55 million mark in April or May of last year.
During the 40 years since Roe v. Wade, many pro-life groups have been organized to overturn it. Most of these groups have concentrated on two strategies: getting the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its own decision or passing a constitutional amendment.
U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2
All along, there has been a third strategy that has gotten precious little attention: the power granted to Congress in Article III, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court:
The supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
It's one of the numerous checks and balances in our Constitution. When any branch of our federal government strays from its constitutional authority, the other branches have the authority and responsibility to keep that branch within its bounds. Congress has the authority to overturn Roe v. Wade via this strategy.
Comparing Three Ways of Overturning Roe v. Wade
The three ways to overturn Roe v. Wade are:
• A constitutional amendment — That requires a two-thirds majority vote in each House of Congress followed by ratification by three fourths of the states.
• Getting the U.S. Supreme to reverse its previous decision — This is by far the hardest way for two reasons. Judges are typically reluctant to reverse their own decisions or the decisions of their predecessors. Some have suggested appointing at least five solidly pro-life justices who be willing to vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. This has already shown itself to be unworkable.
• Passing a law based on Article III, Section 2 to limit the jurisdiction of the U.S. Supreme Court — This requires a simple majority of both Houses of Congress and the president's signature. If the president vetoes the bill, the veto can be overridden by two thirds of each House.
Overturning Roe v. Wade via Article III, Section 2 is clearly less difficult than either the constitutional amendment route or by trying to get the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse itself.

The shadowy but controversial National Security Agency (NSA) — despite U.S. law and constitutional protections — has collected most of the e-mails sent and received by Americans, agency whistleblower William Binney (photo) explained during an explosive TV interview. Phone calls and other forms of electronic communications are also routinely targeted.
Meanwhile, the domestic spying apparatus has almost certainly expanded more under President Obama than even under the previous George W. Bush administration, said the former technical director of the NSA World Geopolitical and Military Analysis Reporting Group. Binney exposed the lawless espionage in a television interview with Democracy Now host Amy Goodman, but he is hardly the first to blow the whistle.
The internal spying regime, instituted under an NSA program known as "Stellar Wind," began sometime in 2001, Binney said. But after the scheme was implemented, he resigned from the agency in disgust. "At that point, I knew I could not stay because it was a direct violation of the constitutional rights of everybody in the country," he said.
The NSA, Binney explained, has also enlisted the support of major companies such as AT&T to help spy on the American people. "I don't think any of them opposed it in any way," he said of the firms approached by the federal government to aid in the unlawful espionage activities.
According to the whistleblower, the corporations were told by officials that it was legal and "patriotic" to assist. When the lawlessness was finally exposed, however, those same companies had to be given retroactive immunity for the crimes they were caught committing.
