WOONSOCKET — Charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity.
Maurice E. Berube has spent the better part of 11 years trying to promote and practice the four cardinal virtues of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. But it wasn't until last month, when he found himself the recipient of a simple act of kindness by an 11-year-old city girl, that he really understood what it meant to be an Elk.

WOONSOCKET — Charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity.
Maurice E. Berube has spent the better part of 11 years trying to promote and practice the four cardinal virtues of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. But it wasn't until last month, when he found himself the recipient of a simple act of kindness by an 11-year-old city girl, that he really understood what it meant to be an Elk.
Berube, Grand Exalted Ruler of Woonsocket Elks Lodge #850, says it happened in December when he was helping deliver 227 food baskets to needy families during the holiday season.
After delivering the last basket, he turned to leave the home when a little girl, the youngest member of the family, tapped his shoulder and handed him an envelope.
"I opened it and inside was a beautiful handmade thank-you card," says Berube, his eyes welling. "This little girl had taken the time to create this amazing card as her way of thanking us for helping her family. It was such an emotional and defining moment for me because it really illustrated just how important the work is that the Elks do."
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, also often known as the Elks Lodge or simply The Elks, is an American fraternal order and social club founded 141 years ago.
It is one of the leading fraternal orders in the U.S., claiming nearly one million members and more than 2,000 lodges in communities all over the country.
The Elks is also a charitable foundation that each year gives millions in scholarships. In fact, the Elks National Foundation, the charitable arm of the order, provides more than $3.64 million in college scholarships each year and is the second largest private grantor of scholarships in the world behind the U.S. government.
The Elks organization was founded in New York City on Feb. 16, 1868, under the name "Jolly Corks" by 15 actors, entertainers and others associated with the theater. In ensuing years, membership expanded to other professions.
The fraternal order was founded "to promote and practice the four cardinal virtues of charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism and cultivate good fellowship."
The Elks is a non-political, non-sectarian and strictly American fraternity. Proposal for membership in the order is only by invitation of a member in good standing. To be accepted as a member, one must be an American citizen, believe in God, be of good moral character and be at least 21-years-old.
Building Stronger Communities
The order spends more than $80 million every year in cash, goods, and services to the nation's youth, its veterans, the disadvantaged and handicapped, and to individuals and civic groups and programs. The Elks sponsor scouting, athletic teams, a national "Hoop Shoot" free-throw contest involving more than 3 million children, physical and occupational therapy programs and patriotic programs of all sorts.
The country's youth have always been important to the order. It is for this reason the Elks drug awareness education program was launched to warn primary grade students and their parents of the dangers in drug use. Additionally, every lodge observes June 14 as Flag Day, a tradition which the Elks began in 1907 and was later adopted by Congress as an official observance.
In fact, the Elks over the years have created a quiet network of good deeds that has profoundly changed millions of lives for the better, yet there is little public awareness of the impact of their work.
"A lot of people are under the mistaken impression that being an Elk is just people meeting at the lodge to eat and drink," says Berube. "That couldn't be further from the truth. The Elks is the greatest organization in the world. If people really understood what we do for the community they would be hanging from the ceiling to join."
To be eligible for membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a person must be a citizen of the United States over the age of 21 who believes in God. The person must be sponsored by a member of the Elks lodge and reside in the jurisdiction of the lodge they wish to join. Candidates are then voted in by the entire membership. An indoctrination period follows in which the candidate learns more about the order's programs and charities. Finally, the candidate participates in the solemn and elaborate Elks initiation ritual, which is shrouded in secrecy and open to Elks members only. Elk officers wear formal evening dress during the 45-minute ceremony, in which initiates take the oath of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
After initiation as an Elk, new members can take part in all meetings and social functions of the lodge.
109 Years of Woonsocket Elkdom
The 109-year-old Woonsocket Elks Lodge #850 is one of the most active lodges in Rhode Island. The lodge celebrated a milestone in 2003 when it celebrated its 100th anniversary. Today, the lodge, located at 380 Social St., has 871 members who live throughout the state as well as out-of-state. Women make up 20 percent (163 members) of the membership, the highest percentage of women Elks in the state. The lodge's longest living member is Roger "Kay" Caron, who joined the Elks 66 years ago in 1946.
The Woonsocket Elks Lodge might be best known, locally, for its sponsorship of the annual fishing derby at Cass Pond and Goodfellows Day for the Milk Fund, but its charitable work goes far beyond that. Lodge members take part in youth drug prevention programs; sponsor Cub Scouts, Little League and Hoop and Soccer Shoot contests; and deliver food baskets to the needy. Members also visit the elderly in nursing homes and assist aging veterans.
Berube, 61, of Woonsocket, joined the Elks 11 years ago after being sponsored for membership by longtime member Armand Froment.
"I would visit the lodge as Armand's guest and hear about all the good things the Elks were involved in and eventually I decided I wanted to be involved, too," says Berube, whose wife, Joyce, the lodge's First Lady, is a 10-year member and Elks state chaplain who serves on various lodge committees.
"Joyce is my right arm," says Berube, who was a member of the lodge's Inner Guard and an Esteemed Grand Knight before being elected the lodge's exalted grand ruler for 2011-2012. Berube was also the lodge's 2009-2010 Officer of the Year.
Berube says his other "right-hand-lady" is Elks member Jeanne E. Fagnant, who joined eight years ago. For six of those years, she has been the lodge secretary doing everything from handling applications and collecting dues to writing and publishing the monthly "850 News" newsletter.
Like all Elks lodges, the Woonsocket lodge has a hierarchy of officers which include, in order of rank, exalted ruler; esteemed leading knight; esteemed loyal knight; esteemed lecturing knight; secretary; treasurer; tiler; esquire; inner guard; chaplain; and trustees.
The "exalted ruler" governs each Elks Lodge, which in Woonsocket's case, has 30 appointed committees.
"It's been very interesting being exalted ruler. A lot of it is learning as you go, but it's been a great experience," says Berube, whose 49-year-old son, Michael, is also an Elk.
There is perhaps no member of Woonsocket Elks Lodge #850 more intimately familiar with the history of the lodge and the Elks as both a state and national organization than James H. Clancy, who joined the elks in 1979. Over the past 32 years, Clancy has been the lodge's exalted ruler (1984-85); vice president of state Elks (1985-88); past state president (1988-89); past district deputy grand exalted ruler (1991-92); and Grand Lodge committee member (2001).
Clancy's uncle was an Elk and his sponsor for membership back when he decided to join at the age of 39 was Lionel "Skippy" Toupin.
"The satisfaction I derive from being an Elk is that I get to be part of an organization that helps other people," says Clancy, who's wife, Jeanne, was Woonsocket #850's first and only woman exalted ruler (2005-2006) and first female district deputy. She is expected to be named first female state president in May.
"While the Elks are known for their many charitable objectives, we're still a fraternal organization that fosters fellowship and promotes good will amongst the membership," Clancy says.
According to Clancy, the Woonsocket lodge was instituted on May 4, 1903. It became the 850th Elks lodge in the country and was granted charter by the Grand Lodge on July 23, 1903. William H. Chase was the lodge's first exalted ruler and the very first regular meeting of the lodge was held in leased space at Columbus Hall located at 65 Main St. in the city.
In December 1909, the Lodge purchased the Willis Cook Estate on Harris Avenue for about $8,000 as its first home, but four years later would move into new leased quarters in the Federal Building on the corner of Main and Federal Streets. In 1925, a three-story building on Hamlet Avenue known as the Halcyon Inn (formerly the Holt Mansion) was purchased and became the second Elks home owned by Woonsocket #850.
In 1963, the lodge relocated to the former First National Store building on Social Street, which has been Woonsocket #850's home ever since. The building on Social Street boasts a spacious lounge; large kitchen (where members cook and serve lunch daily for members and non-members); a game room and library; and a 275-seat function hall. A new addition was constructed in the late 1980s.
Dwindling Membership
Like many other fraternal organizations, Elkdom has struggled with a massive decline in membership over the past 20 years. The Elks, whose average member is 65, have lost 600,000 members since 1980 to old age, death and just plain apathy, Clancy says. Overall, the Elks are still losing about 30,000 a year as members continue to decline and age.
"In 1979 there were 2 million Elks in the United States. In 2009, there were only 926,000 Elks and only 2,105 lodges," says Clancy, who has helped bring in 100 new members to the Woonsocket lodge in the past 32 years. "We're going the way of a lot of fraternal organizations in that our membership is declining because it's difficlut to attract younger members."
Typically, he said, Woonsocket Elks Lodge #850 can expect to initiate upwards of 50 new members a year, but during that period, the Lodge may lost upwards of 20 members who either die or drop out, so in reality the Lodge gained maybe 30 new members. Last year, Woonsocket Lodge #850's net gain in new members was three.
Despite that, Clancy says, Rhode Island last year was the highest in the country for new Elks memberships.
Says Clancy: "Years ago, you came here with your family. Nowadays, families haven't got time for anything. Both parents have jobs and the kids are involved in everything. The problem is that the interest just isn't there. With all the new technology available, there's just too many things that are competing for a young person's interest. I don't think the Elks will cease to exist in my lifetime, but it could happen some day."
Tri-City Elks
The Warwick-based Tri-City Elks Lodge #14 comprises Warwick, Providence and Pawtucket. Both Pawtucket and Providence, which had their own lodges for many years, merged with Warwick several years ago. The Pawtucket lodge was located for years in a historic site at 27 Exchange St. The three-story lodge was built in 1926 and added to the National Historic Register in 1983. The Pawtucket lodge merged with Warwick in 2006 because it was unable to meet stringent building fire codes in the wake of the tragic Station nightclub fire in 2003.
Tri-City Elks Lodge #14 has 660 members, 40 percent of whom are women, says Grand Exalted Ruler Donna M. Warner, who was elected to the lodge's top position after only four years with the order. She was a leading knight last year and was Elk of the Year in 2010.
"Just being able to help people is what keeps me going," Warner says.
Last year was a busy year for Tri-City Elks Lodge #14. In the spring, the Elks held a picnic at the Masonic picnic grounds for disabled youngsters. They also sponsored an Easter egg hunt and Christmas part for residents of the family shelter and along with local cub scouts crafted greeting cards for patients at the local VA hospital.
"I don't think people realize how active the Elks are in terms of veterans care," says Warner, adding that in each of the 172 VA medical centers nationwide there is an Elk committee at work.
In fact, she says, since 1917, hundreds of thousands of Elks and their families have given generously of their time, energy and resources so that the lives of the country's ill and aging veterans are enhanced.
For Berube, grand exalted ruler of Woonsocket #850, joining Elkdom 11 years ago was one of the best things he's ever done.
"It's given me the opportunity to associate with like-minded people who are all working towards one goal - to help the people in their communities," he says. "What's better than that?"

Sasha Leahovcenco Travels to the End of the Earth
According to the bio on Sasha Leahovcenco's website, he's a "Soviet man" who was born in the former Soviet republic of Moldova. Today, Sasha resides in the relatively warm climate of Sacramento, California but recently ventured to the far corner of Siberia to photograph a local community who had never had their photo taken as part of the Help-Portrait project.. We were intrigued by the story and tracked Sasha down to find out more about the experience and just what it is like to work in some of the coldest conditions on the planet.
As quoted by Sasha, "We visited people who have never had visitors in their life, stopping by every village and tribe on the way, giving them warm clothes, shoes, gifts, and simply showing them grace and love. The very exciting part of the trip was taking pictures of the natives, printing them on the spot, and handing them to the villagers. This was the very first time that these people had ever had their photo taken. As we travel, our video crew will be documenting the lives of the locals who live in the harmony with nature. We wanted to hear about their lives, struggles, resilience and where they see themselves in this rapidly changing world."

Working for Workers
Last June Fairtrade International (FLO) launched a major workstream to deepen Fairtrade's impact for workers and hired laborers. Last month a group representing trade unions, NGOs, and Fairtrade experts met to advise FLO as part of the new Advisory Committee on Workers' Rights and Empowerment (WRAC). The team offered invaluable insights on the challenges to achieving worker empowerment.
"This was a historic meeting, the first time so many high level trade union and workers rights activists have come to the FLO offices," said Charlotte Opal, FLO's Worker Rights and Trade Union Relations advisor. "They are helping us to build our vision of worker empowerment – how we can change the Fairtrade model to have a bigger impact for workers."
The group shared their challenges and experiences in protecting the freedom of association, encouraging workers to organize, how to increase wages, and how to involve management and companies in the supply chain. These insights will contribute to FLO's review of the Fairtrade hired labour strategy.
"Our goal is that workers have the tools and power to defend their own rights. The Fairtrade audit is then just a tool, not the main way to ensure compliance," explained Charlotte.
"This was one of the best meetings I have attended in a long time. Now it's time to translate this momentum into changes in the ground," said Bert Schouwenberg of GMB, Britain's General Union.
Members of the Advisory Committee include (membership of the committee is not an endorsement of FLO):
- Trade Unions: Sue Longley, IUF - UK, Steve Grinter, ITGLWF - UK; and Bert Schouwenberg, GMB - UK
- NGOs: Gopinath Parakuri, Cividep - India; Esther Kapisa, Fidelity Labor Consultants - Zambia; Peter Williams, Oxfam International - UK; Alistair Smith, BananaLink - UK; Brian Campbell, International Labour Rights Fund - USA; Mandy Moussoris, Environmental Monitoring Group - South Africa
- FLO members: Peter Gaynor, Fairtrade Mark Ireland; Aruna Anand, NAP; Heather Franzese, Fair Trade USA; and Markus Staub – MH Switzerland (shared seat)

FORT DRUM A wreath-laying ceremony on post today will mark 10 years since a Black Hawk helicopter crash took the lives of 11 soldiers here.
The crash took place during a short training flight on the afternoon of March 11, 2003.
An Army report showed the Black Hawk became separated from two other helicopters during their return to Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield.
The crash site was found a few miles northeast of the airfield, near Purcell Road.
The victims included the following soldiers from Company C, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team: Staff Sgt. Brian Pavlich, Sgt. John L. Eichenlaub Jr., Sgt. Joshua M. Harapko, Pfc. Shawn A. Mayerscik, Pfc. Tommy C. Young, Pfc. Stryder O. Stoutenburg and Pfc. Andrew D. Stevens.

Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dogby Ted Kerasote
Staff Pick
Because I love dogs, Merle's Door was my favorite book this year. Merle lives with his owner, Ted, in the Grand Tetons. (He "found" Ted on one of Ted's many hunting explorations.) This book is a beautiful record of the relationship of a true wilderness man with an amazing dog.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Now including a wonderful new photo insert chronicling Merle's life, this national bestseller explores the relationship between humans and dogs. How would dogs live if they were free? Would they stay with their human friends?
Merle and Ted found each other in the Utah desert — Merle was living wild and Ted was looking for a pup to keep him company. As their bond grew, Ted taught Merle how to live around wildlife, and Merle taught Ted about the benefits of letting a dog make his own decisions.
Using the latest in wolf research and exploring issues of animal consciousness and leadership and the origins of the human-dog relationship, Ted Kerasote takes us on the journey he and Merle shared. As much a love story as a story of independence and partnership, Merle's Door is tender, funny, and ultimately illuminating.
"Charming." Entertainment Weekly
"This summer's Marley." People
"Merle's Door is a compelling, insightful and tender story that opens new doors into the understanding of the nature of dogs." Bark Magazine
"Anyone who ever loved a dog will find something to enjoy in Merle's Door." The Christian Science Monitor
"Merle's Door is a window into the mind of a dog. You will experience his loyalty, fears, and joys and his true inner self. Everybody who loves dogs must read this book." Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation
"A truly wonderful book — iconoclastic, mind-blowing, and gorgeously written." Delia Ephron, author of Hanging Up and Frannie in Pieces
Using the latest in wolf research and exploring issues of animal consciousness, leadership, and the origins of the human-dog relationship, Kerasote takes readers on the journey shared with a dog he found in a Utah desert.
Merle and Ted found each other in the Utah desert — Merle living wild and Ted looking for a pup to shape into a companion. But the training went both ways.
Ted taught Merle how to live around wildlife and Merle taught Ted that a dog grows more intelligent when allowed to make his own decisions. Their journey is part buddy adventure, part love story, and part insightful explanation of how sharing leadership with your dog will make him a better best friend.
About the Author
Ted Kersote's writing has appeared in more than fifty periodicals, including Audubon, National Geographic Traveler, Outside, Field & Stream, Salon, and the New York Times. His most recent book, Out There: In the Wild in a Wired Age, won the National Outdoor Book Award. He lives in Wyoming.

Pizza Hut manager Everett P. Shelmidine didnt realize at first that he was caught up in the roommate law controversy when one of his drivers got stuck with a couple of undeliverable pizzas at a Thompson Boulevard address.
It dawned on him later that it was the house of the woman who began the debate pertaining to nonrelatives living together in residential neighborhoods.
We usually dont get calls from Thompson Boulevard, he said, noting a red flag went off after a second prank call occurred.
For the past several weeks, Deborah A. Cavallario has been the victim of harassing phone calls, harsh language on social media and unwanted delivery drivers showing up at her door. Pizzas, Chinese food and service calls for tree service have arrived. A plumber recently came in the middle of the night on an emergency call, police said.
Thats not all. Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said he even heard that a woman from a Syracuse-area escort service came looking for business.
Watertown city police could not verify that incident, saying only that a woman did show up at the 259 Thompson Blvd. home on March 15 and that Mrs. Cavallario called police to file a complaint, according to Detective Sgt. Joseph R. Donoghue.
The pranks and harassment began soon after the Watertown City Council last month approved the zoning change intended to prevent boarding houses in single-family residential districts, which has led to a torrent of criticism from people who think city leaders are trying to regulate lifestyles and living arrangements.
In January, Mrs. Cavallario complained that her neighbor, Travis W. Hartman, 257 Thompson Blvd., was living with his fiancee and two friends in a single-family home in a Residential A district.
But the pranks have gotten so bad that Mrs. Cavallario, who declined to comment, also complained to city police about the Pizza Hut delivery and the arrival of a Big Mans Cab seeking a fare at her home, Detective Sgt. Donoghue said.
Police, the mayor and Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns are asking that the torment stop. It has been tough not only for Mrs. Cavallario, they said.
Businesses are getting hurt, Ms. Burns said. I feel bad for the people whove gotten involved.
It cost Pizza Hut and the Chinese restaurant for the unsolicited food and the time wasted by other businesses that showed up at her house, she said.
Linda Morrison, who lives across the street at 254 Thompson Blvd., is appalled the situation has gotten so ugly.
I just cant believe its gone to that extreme, she said. Nobody should do that.
Ms. Morrison, who attended a City Council meeting in February to oppose the zoning change, said some people have shunned the restaurant that Mrs. Cavallarios husbands family owns because of the controversy.
Instead of harassing her neighbor, Ms. Morrison suggested people who disagree with the zoning change take up the same strategy that Mrs. Cavallario used to get City Council to pass it. They should attend council meetings, circulate a petition against it and lobby council members, she said.
The matter does not appear to have ended. On Monday night, the mayor said he wants both the City Council and the Planning Board to revisit the issue.
Opponents say they believe the zoning change is not enforceable. Supporters say they just want to protect Residential A districts from boarding and rooming houses.

Veteran with brain injury: 'Freedom isn't free ... it has a heavy price'
PART TWO of a three part series. Watch KVAL News on Friday for more on Traumatic Brain Injury
KEIZER, Ore. - There is a reason Julio Najara keeps his apartment dark.
"The light is just really irritating, especially on my left side," he said. "The last couple of explosions, they happened on my left side."
Najara is a father, a second generation soldier - and a veteran living with Traumatic Brain Injury.
"Simple things like, hey, come over at 5 o'clock and we'll watch a baseball game, I have to write that down," he said. "I'll forget if I don't."
Najara joined the Oregon National Guard right out of high school. After serving for 23 years, he was called to duty in Iraq.
His unit worked an IED corridor, an Iraqi road known for roadside bombs.
And during his deployment, he lived through several massive explosions.
"As soon as we get there, we get mortared and things are blowing up all over," Najara said. "I think the fear set in then, and it didn't really leave until we went home."
After 15 months in Iraq, Najara returned home to Keizer. But it wasn't until two months later when he started noticing the blast effects: he couldn't remember names, he couldn't remember steps like tying his shoes, and he suffered uncontrollable bursts of violence.
"What if I drink one or two beers with someone and something and I hurt him or even kill him? I've almost ran people off the road. There's no logic," he said.
Hector Rodriguez is also living with TBI. He was with Najara in Iraq and said his symptoms keep him from holding down a job.
"Now I have a hard time even holding down a job," Rodriguez said. "I think since the last deployment I've had seven."
Doctors have diagnosed both men with TBI, but the Veterans Administration has not granted either man disability for the injury.
"Freedom is not a birthright. It's not something that's given, it's earned," Najara said. "And freedom isn't free sometimes, as Hector and I found out. It has a heavy price."
Coming Friday, Nov 5: Why are so many veterans with symptoms of brain injury not being diagnosed and treated?

Times have changed, and so has the criteria for resume length. The new guideline is: A resume should be long enough to entice hiring managers to call you for job interviews. That may sound vague, but there is no hard-and-fast resume length rule that works for everyone. Factors to consider include career objective, occupation, industry, years of experience, number of employers, scope of accomplishments and education/training.
Keep these facts in mind when deciding on resume length:
Consider a One-Page Resume If:
Consider a Two-Page Resume If:
Put the most important information at the top of the first page. Lead your resume with a career summary so your key credentials appear at the forefront of the resume. On the second page, include a page number and your name and contact information.
Consider a Three-Page Resume or Longer If:
Multiple-page resumes can use addendum pages after page two. Job seekers can decide whether to send the full document or just the first two pages to a potential employer, based on the job opportunity requirements.
Make your resume shine with help from Monster's resume writing experts!

Reviewer: Eric Shinohara MD, MSCI
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: October 14, 2009
Presenter: Dr. R. Malyapa
Presenter's Affiliation: University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute, Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Type of Session: Scientific
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
Treatment of tumors of the NPX and surrounding sinuses remains challenging. Although there have been better results with NPX tumors, in tumors in certain locations and with certain histologies, outcomes remain suboptimal. Proton therapy may allow for less dose to be delivered to critical normal structures and could potentially allow for dose escalation, which may improve local control. This study suggests that proton therapy using a patch technique is feasible and may be effective. There are several challenges to delivering proton therapy to the NPX and surrounding sinuses. Changes in the density of the sinuses due to collection of fluids may change the protons' range and dose distribution. There is also the potential for greater skin reactions due to higher skin doses if only a few proton beams are used. However, in the present study, it appears that toxicity was tolerable. Longer follow up is needed to confirm local control rates and survival and further studies should be performed to confirm tumor coverage, perhaps using PET dosimetry. Protons may ultimate play a major role in the treatment of tumors which involve the base of skull either as the primary treatment or as a boost after photon-based therapy.

The Canon GL1 is a digital video camcorder, using the standard MiniDV cassette; it produces the highest quality video possible from non-broadcast equipment. The MiniDV format standard delivers more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution. This is about a 25% improvement in picture quality over the best analog formats. On top of that, because it records both video and audio as digital data, this information can be transferred - without any loss of picture or audio quality - to computer for editing, then transferred back to DV tape, without a reduction in either picture or audio quality. All of this is through the use of to the IEEE 1394 protocol commonly known as FireWire®.
DV Format Technology and Advantages
This format is based on a robust videotape formulation, a sophisticated and computer-based data capture system, the ability to allow the high speed transfer of data from camcorder to tape, and a standard data structuring system. The MiniDV format makes professional quality video affordable.
Better picture quality than analog, sharper images and better color reproduction: that's what digital video is all about! Digital recordings are almost immune to signal problems, and result in the highest quality picture and audio. This is a major advantage over analog. Digital is the language of computers, which easily store and transfer data without distortion. It is exactly the same with digital video. Digital copies of digital videos are indistinguishable from the original, which makes editing and image manipulation so much easier and with higher quality than that delivered by analog video technology.
The tape formulation is designed to last longer and even withstand repeated use without failure, which virtually eliminates dropouts while delivering higher output and less noise.
Digital video has approximately twice the horizontal resolution of a standard VHS videocassette recorder. The resolution of a DV standard image is about 25% better than that from an S-VHS or Hi-8 camcorder or deck. While resolution is dependent on a product's components and circuitry, standard VHS and 8mm video are capable of delivering about 250 lines of horizontal resolution with S-VHS and Hi-8 at about 400-420 lines. The DV format is capable of delivering more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution, with actual performance depending on the individual camcorder model. Another way to look at it is that an NTSC digital video signal contains three times the data of its analog counterpart; a PAL digital video signal contains six times the data of its analog counterpart.
Color resolution (or rendition) can be a problem for analog video, producing color blur and color noise. Digital video does not have this problem, delivering a far more life-like video image on the screen. What you will see is much sharper subject edges and clearer color reproduction.
The MiniDV standard ensures that audio quality matches that of an audio CD or digital audio tape (DAT). The audio portion of the digital video signal is recorded digitally. The digital video standard includes Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) audio recording, delivering more than the normal, natural range of sound audible to humans without both distortion and noise.
All digital video equipment also have the analog video outputs (either S-video and/or composite video) found on current analog equipment so you can play a digital video on a regular TV, or transfer a digital video onto an analog VCR. If you record using a digital video camcorder, you can then copy the video onto VHS or Super-VHS tapes, 8mm or Hi-8 tapes, or any of the broadcast formats such as 3/4-inch or Betacam if they have the appropriate input connectors.
IEEE 1394 (DV Terminal)
The GL1 is equipped with a DV In/Out terminal that conforms to the IEEE 1394 standard (also known as FireWire®). A single digital video cable is all that is required to transfer or copy your videos in pure digital form to your DV compatible computer or another Canon DV camcorder. By transferring images and sound to a computer with the appropriate DV input card you enter the world of video editing and enhancing still images using popular software programs.
Using a digital connecting cable (IEEE 1394), you can dub multiple generations without signal or quality loss. If a digital video signal is being transferred from your camcorder to your computer or back again via the DV In/Out terminal, the signal does not go through any conversion process; therefore there is no signal loss.

In an effort to raise awareness of men's health issues, men are being encouraged to grow moustaches during the current month of 'Movember', coinciding with International Men's Day on the 19th of the month.
In addition to specifically male medical conditions, this charity event also addresses the issues of men tending both to adopt poor health behaviours, and to avoid seeking medical care, in comparison with women.
From a social constructionist perspective, such activities can be seen as a way of doing 'being masculine', since they are 'known' to be bound to the 'male' gender category.
By dismissing their health care needs, men are constructing gender. When a man brags, "I haven't been to a doctor in years", he is simultaneously describing a health practice and situating himself in a masculine arena. Similarly, men are demonstrating dominant norms of masculinity when they refuse to take sick leave from work, when they insist that they need little sleep, and when they boast that drinking does not impair their driving.
(Courtenay, 2000)
This contrasts with the more traditional psychological view that these behaviours are inevitable since they are driven by some internal factor related to biological sex.

Remember the Injured Reserve!
Everyone knows that Santonio Holmes and Darrelle Revis are on the injured reserve and if they return to the Jets, could be major contributors again next season, but let's revisit a few of the other players who are working to return to the field this coming offseason for the Jets.
Josh Mauga — The Jets are looking to find some new blood in the defensive rotation next season at the linebacker spot and Rex Ryan has watched Mauga move up from a core special teamer to time on the defense. Mauga might not have had the best performances at the start of the year, but then again most of the defense didn't play that well in the first month of the season. Bart Scott might be willing to take a paycut to stick around next season, but Mauga might also be a player that the Jets continue to keep and grow his role based on some of the other work he's done with the team in the past.
Isaiah Trufant — Trufant had a great showing in the matchup against the Patriots where he covered Wes Welker most of the game to good results. While Trufant is on the smaller side, Rex Ryan loves defensive backs he can trust
Josh Baker — Baker was one of the players that I thought might be a darkhorse contributor this season. Baker has had a long road to get to the NFL and was the victim of a terrible injury in the preseason against the Panthers. The Jets could have used a better lead blocker out of the backfield (Keller's health, Conner's flameout and Hilliard's bad performances) and the Jets were slated to rely on more multiple tight end sets heading into the season. Sparano also has a penchant for using three backs and Baker's "swiss army knife" skills could have been a big help. Baker might have had a shot to make a mark on the roster as an "F" Tight End. Still, Baker's emergence during this past training camp is something for the Jets to consider as they move into 2013.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- It's beginning to look likely that the Redskins have begun the early process of becoming the 2000's Philadelphia Eagles -- a franchise who dominated the NFC East and were legitimate Super Bowl contenders for 10 straight seasons.
After we all realized how gifted Robert Griffin III was -- not only in terms of talent, but contagious leadership -- we knew this day would eventually come. But this wasn't supposed to happen this early.
Not with a secondary on pace to become one of the worst in NFL history. Not with a typical makeshift Redskins offensive line that supposedly went unaddressed in free agency or the draft. Not with this outlandish college-style pistol offense. Not with one of the least explosive wide receiving corps in the league.
Not with a 37-year-old linebacker as your best defensive player. Not when your offensive coordinator and wide receiver cost you games for taunting penalties -- or how about not when you're close to leading the league in penalties. Not with the loss of Brian Orakpo, Adam Carriker, Fred Davis and several players who violated the NFL's drug policy.
Not in a division with the defending Super Bowl champs. Not in a division with some of the most dynamic passing games in the entire NFL. Not in a division with veteran experience at critical positions.
This extreme transformation from a franchise who is used to firing employees the day after the season instead of wearing NFC East title hats was supposed to happen in 2015. Mike Shanahan was supposed to gracefully step aside as the head coach to hand the reins over to his son Kyle, taking a less stressful position in the front office. At least that's what every single one of us thought in mid-October.
ESPN's Dan Graziano hit the nail on the head with his Mike Shanahan column. This excerpt was my favorite.
"We've cut 150 players since I've been here and only one is starting for another team -- Carlos Rogers in San Francisco. We've got a whole new team."
The myth that Mike Shanahan is not good at making personnel decisions is officially dead.
The Redskins late round gems sparked this preposterous/dazzling/city uniting playoff run. Without them, half the Washington roster is booking tee times in Florida this week or exotic vacations in the Barbados.
Sixth-rounder Alfred Morris may actually end up garnering more rookie of the year votes than Robert Griffin III, after officially posting the best season a running back has ever had in D.C. Fifth-rounder Niles Paul's kick return in the fourth quarter was essential to victory over Dallas. Who would've thought undrafted free agent Logan Paulsen could do more than block? Sixth-rounder Aldrick Robinson's speed duped Philadelphia and Dallas in back-to-back weeks, stretching out the offense (especially for upcoming teams watching film), literally making it totally unstoppable.
Seventh-rounder Richard Crawford won the Baltimore game with his legs and prevented Dallas from taking a dreaded early 7-0 lead with his hands and instincts on a Tony Romo interception. There were multiple people in the stands Sunday night sporting Kai Forbath jersey's -- yes the undrafted kicker. And most of you know where I stand on Kirk Cousins.
That's not even mentioning the fringe guys tons of NFL coaches would've cut, like the now famous seventh-rounder Rob "Jack City" Jackson, or Reed Doughty, who has stunned hardcore fans with his newfound abilities in the second half.
And how about the most glaring in-season personnel change that many thought was inevitable: firing defensive coordinator Jim Haslett. Shanahan stuck by his guy, even with a capable Raheem Morris patiently waiting in the bullpen. In turn, Haslett resurrected the defense from the ashes, disguising their weaknesses, and put them in positions to make turnovers.
The Redskins may dump Seattle and Atlanta like they have their seven previous opponents, and advance to the NFC Championship game -- not even that extravagant of a prediction at this point. Or they may finally fizzle out on what has become an even more unlikely dream season than the 2012 Davey Johnson-led Nats produced.
Regardless, the Washington Redskins are only in their infancy stages as contenders. Mike Shanahan's personnel prowess has been vindicated, and should be worshiped and unquestioned from here on out by fans, media and front office people in the business.
You better believe the rest of the NFL is nervous with how good this franchise can potentially become.

"True it is that politics makes strange bedfellows." The precise origin of this phrase is unclear, but its application to the race for President in 2012 is all too evident and perhaps a bit uncomfortable.
Normally, the rolling out of the predictable campaign ad blitz in an early primary state would not be very noteworthy. The ads for GOP presidential contender Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), however, are drawing attention because of the media strategy company producing them. The Bachmann ad was produced by Strategy Group for Media, (SGM) an Ohio-based political media consulting firm whose former client list includes Bachmann's competitor for the GOP presidential nomination — Ron Paul.

As a parent, I hate being mostly responsible for making sure my children are given the nutrition they require.
I mean, no matter how many kale and spinach-infused fruit smoothies I force down their little throats, I'm not sure it makes up for the ridiculous amounts of plain macaroni noodles they eat. Or the peanut butter sandwiches.
