POTSDAM SUNY Potsdam students took a few lessons from Harry Potter to raise money for charity Saturday at the colleges first Quidditch for Cancer tournament.
We thought it would be a good way to raise money for charity, and it kind of exploded after that, said Elise M. Mills, vice president of the SUNY Potsdam chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance, a worldwide group of Harry Potter fans who are active in charity and activism.
The money raised Saturday was donated to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital.
Quidditch is the sport of choice for the wizards in J.K. Rowlings hit series, and some die-hard fans have adapted the rules to play it here in the real world.
The game needs some tweaking before it can be played by those lacking magical abilities. As described by Ms. Rowling, Quidditch is played on flying brooms, with various pieces of enchanted sporting equipment livening things up.
In the real version, the brooms are gone, leaving contestants firmly earthbound. Dodgeballs take the place of Potters magical bludgers. The game ends with the capture of the golden snitch, an elusive flying ball in the wizarding world, and a fleet-footed college student wearing a yellow bandana in ours.
Its for a good cause, and its pretty fun. It was a good workout, said SUNY Potsdam student Ancel G. Dorsey.
Four teams competed in Saturdays tournament, and every player donated some money for the cause.
Each contestant came for their own reasons. Some were Harry Potter fans, others just wanted an unusual way to exercise.
My mom is a survivor of breast cancer for 10 years, so I felt this was very important, said student Michael Zupan.
Club president Toni M. Kelly said she was inspired to start a chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance because of her childhood love of the books.
It kind of started out goofy. Wouldnt it be cool if there was a Harry Potter group on campus? she said.
She grew up in a military family, moving often, and J.K. Rowlings coming-of-age saga provided one of the few constants in her ever-changing life.
Reading the books brought me to a place where I felt safe, she said.
Since the club was founded last semester the group has participated in several on-campus charity events. They plan to make the Quidditch tournament a regular event, doing more to advertise to attract larger crowds to future tournaments. Quidditch will return to the college in the spring.

"Helping Hunters Train Their Dogs"
I think the guy thought that I should have been aware of this technology, but I will be the first to admit that I am not tech savvy, This thread went on for 29-30 pages before the guy posted that link. This thread had 24.000+ views and he was the first to post it. You would think that if it was common knowledge that this ap was out there, it wouldn't have taken 24,000 views before someone posted this.
I am not talking about competing at the event, instead I was talking about competing to get entered into the event. The three closest hunt tests for me, KC , Missouri Valley and Lincoln all filled up in under an hour. If you look at KC for example (closes Aug 19th) you will see that 2 handlers, Lyle Steinman and Chris Akin have 48 dogs entered. Kind of hard to qualify for the MN when you cannot get entered in MN tests.
I've changed my opinion.
After talking with some folks and gaining a better understanding about the MN qualifications and limited entry mh tests etc.
It's obvious somethings need to be changed but until all shakes out satisfactorily singling out pro entries is a bit unfair.
So hope it all gets sorted out quickly in a way that works for everyone.

It's not uncommon (clearly its the case) that a pro receives inside information on when a test will be open for registration. This is a very slippery slop right now. I've talked to several club members where tests have filled up with 96+% pro dogs, in under 20 min, that swear if this happen again they will not support X club or as volunteers throw another duck.

Read: Hard Work Will Bring The Ultimate Goal
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks spoke with Rangers captain Ryan Callahan who said that the team has put themselves into a position where, as long as they put in the work, the Rangers think the Stanley Cup is in each.
"The ultimate goal is to compete to win the Stanley Cup and I think we've put ourselves in position to be able to do that as long as we don't lose sight of our day-to-day responsibility."
Callahan said though that the team will continue to focus on one day at a time, but in the back of their mind they have loftier goals, "we need to focus on the day and game in front of us, but we'd like to win our division, we'd like to get home ice and overall we'd like to build on what we started last year, but ultimately didn't finish."
At ESPN NY, and throughout other interviews since the lockout ended, Henrik Lundqvist talked about how he feels this could be a special season for the Rangers, but only if they remember what made last year special.
He said, "we were working really hard every night, and even though we have some talented skill players, I think our biggest reason for success last year was the hard work. That has to continue."
Brad Richards told the Post that the team shares the belief that they need to work even harder this season.

I wanted to give readers a sense of the geographic relationships between the United States, Axis-occupied Europe, Japanese-occupied areas in Asia, and the Soviet Union, all in a map that must fit on an 8vo page (or an e-reader screen). Moreover, the map must be legible whether viewed on the screen of a color e-reader device (such as an iPad) or in a conventional book or a grayscale e-reader screen.
To me it seems that in a case of this sort the orthographic projection gives an immediate and direct visual sense of scale. Its distortions are comparatively unimportant because our brains automatically correct for spherical distortions. A case could also be made for an azimuthal equal-area projection, or possibly a stereographic. None of the cylindrical or pseudo-cylindrical projections appeal because the discontinuity dislocates the perceptions of global geographic relationships. I might make an argument, however, for a projection in which a complete image of the United States appeared at each end.
I experimented for quite a while using Versamap, which provides instantaneous re-draws as projection parameters are changed, before deciding on a projection center at 75N, 90E – Uncle Sam peeking over the pole. Then I constructed the map in Manifold, patching together polygons from several sources and doing some manual trimming. The results would not bear close scrutiny at large scale, but are acceptable at the very small scale actually used for the output.
All the coloring of the areas and boundaries was done in Manifold, with just a little bit of later patching in Photoshop. The shafts of the arrows were drawn as lines in Manifold, but the arrowheads were added later in Photoshop. I exported the map from Manifold as PDFs, with one representing the base map and blue areas, another for the arrow shafts, and a third for the Axis and Japanese occupied areas. These were imported into Photoshop and composited into a layer stack before doing some fairly minor editing and adding the labeling and legend.
I'm attaching both the actual color version and a representation of how it will look in grayscale.
Comments and suggestions welcomed.

WATSON A town of Watson man was charged with driving while intoxicated after being involved in a one-car rollover crash at 9:52 p.m. Tuesday on Snell Road in the town of Watson.
Lewis County sheriffs deputies said Jared G. Lehman, 28, of 6947 Erie Canal Road, was driving south when he lost control around a curve and went off the left side of the road, causing the vehicle to roll onto the drivers side.
Mr. Lehman and a passenger, Lucas J. Boliver, were treated for cuts and bruises by Lewis County Search and Rescue personnel but declined transport to the hospital.
He had a BAC of 0.10 percent, deputies said. State law says a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher constitutes intoxication.
Mr. Lehman was additionally charged with failure to keep right, speed not reasonable or prudent, no seat belt and unsafe tire.
State police and Lowville firefighters assisted at the scene.

- How to Read a Study Record
It is our hypotheses that 1) readily available Emergency Department data can be utilized in an Atrial Fibrillation clinical prediction rule to identify those patients at low or high risk for adverse outcomes; 2) Assigned risk can be utilized to drive physician decision-making by identifying patients who do not require hospital admission (low risk) and patients needing hospitalization (high risk); and 3) a facile version of the AFPR will be easily incorporated into standard Emergency Department patient management systems and assist physicians with risk stratification of patients presenting with Atrial Fibrillation.

- Incidence of an atrial-fibrillation or atrial flutter related adverse event at 5 days from the index ED visit. [ Time Frame: 5 days from ED visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]We define adverse events as the following patient death, 5-day ED return visits and unscheduled hospital admissions for AF-related complaints, AF-related cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications.
- Incidence of an Atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter related adverse event within 30 days of index ED visit [ Time Frame: 30 days from ED visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]We define adverse events as the following patient death, 30-day ED return visits and unscheduled hospital admissions for AF-related complaints, AF-related cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications.
- Patient death from any causes [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]We will record patient deaths due to any cause within 30 days of their ED visit. Only deaths classified as having cardiovascular causes will be included in the development of the prediction rule.

AF: Impact on Present and Future National Health Over 2 million people in the United States have Atrial Fibrillation, the most common sustained arrhythmia.1 That number of patients is expected to increase to 5.6 million by 2050.1 Atrial Fibrillation is associated with a 4-5 fold increase in the risk of stroke, 3-fold increase in the risk of heart failure and 1.5-1.9 increased risk of death.2-6 The prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation increases as individuals age; 5.9% of those over 65 years of age and 9% of those over 80 years are diagnosed with the arrhythmia.25 The lifetime risk for development of Atrial Fibrillation is estimated to be 1 in 4 for men and women forty years of age and older.26 The proper management of patients with AF is critical due to the well-documented association with heart failure and stroke.2-6, 11, 27.
The number of Emergency Department visits for complaints related to Atrial Fibrillation increased by 88% between 1993 and 2003 and now account for approximately 1% percent of all Emergency Department visits in the United States.7, 24 More than 65% of these Atrial Fibrillation visits result in hospital admission and over $6.65 billion in expenditures, including $3.88 billion for hospitalizations, $1.53 billion for outpatient treatment and nearly $240 million for prescription drugs.8, 24 Patients with a primary admission diagnosis of AF had a mean length of stay and hospital charge of 4 days and $7000 in 1999.28 Over the past 20 years, the admission rate for Atrial Fibrillation has increased by 66%.29-31 The combination of increasing Atrial Fibrillation prevalence, unnecessarily high admission rate and Emergency Department crowding is likely to severely burden our healthcare system.

- Present with signs (tachycardia, dyspnea) or symptoms (palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, lightheadedness, pre-syncope, or syncope) consistent with primary symptomatic AF
- Patients whose primary complaint is not directly related to their AF diagnosis (e.g. evaluation for febrile illness, gastrointestinal complaint, injury) BUT have a secondary complaint consistent with symptomatic AF that requires ED evaluation (e.g. new AF diagnosis, AF associated with inadequate rate control (defined as resting heart rate greater than 100bon), AF associated with heart failure symptoms, AF in the setting of CVA or TIA, AF associated with other thromboembolic complications).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who are under the age of 18
- Previously enrolled patients
- ED patients who present with complaints unrelated to their AF (e.g. sprained ankle,pharyngitis) and have adequately rate (<100 bpm at rest) or rhythm controlled-AF.

The great immigration debate remains in the news. An announcement by a bipartisan group of eight senators on January 28 that they had developed a plan for comprehensive immigration reform was given considerable coverage by the national media.
As the "Gang of 8" senators — Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) — took to the airwaves the next day to promote their plan, President Obama traveled to Las Vegas to unveil his own vision for immigration reform, saying "now's the time" to replace a system he called "out of date and badly broken."
Though the plan (described as only a "blueprint") is still being hammered out as we write, public statements from some of the senators give us a fair indication of what a finalized proposal might include.
For example, Sen. Schumer spent about an hour outlining the senators' proposed immigration bill while visiting a dairy farm in upstate New York. The local Livingston County News reported on February 28 that Schumer is looking to change the current situation in which federal scrutiny on undocumented workers makes it difficult for dairy farmers to find enough workers. The bill proposed by Schumer, the paper noted, "offers a fair path to citizenship for the workers and provides a 'future flow' of farm labor."
As to what is meant by a "future flow" of labor, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO have been holding meetings over the past couple months to help the "Gang of 8" senators to put together a system of guest worker visas to provide a source of lower-skilled laborers that would to some extent replace the current system of hiring illegal immigrants. According to "Breakthrough Reached Between Business, Labor on Guest Worker Program" (CQ News, March 30, 2013), the chamber had earlier stated a preference for admitting 400,000 guest workers each year, but has now agreed with labor on a new guest worker program that would be phased in over several years, starting with 20,000 per year and expanding to a cap of 200,000 per year. A "safety valve" would allow the number to exceed the 200,000 cap if employers are willing to pay a premium. Although such a system of providing hundreds of thousands (or more) of guest worker visas each year would serve to legalize much of the current flow of illegal immigrants, it would also serve as a transition toward essentially open borders between the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
The call by Schumer and his senatorial colleagues to provide a "future flow" of labor by offering guest worker visas closely mirrors concepts found in the document Building a North American Community, sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in association with the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales (Mexican Council of International Affairs). More about the CFR and this report shortly.

|Two Hurt in Shulls Mill Wreck in Watauga
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 15 April 2012 13:31
Two injuries came from a nearly head-on collision on Shull's Mill Road just before noon Sunday. The wreck was on the stretch of Shull's Mill approaching NC 105 toward Boone, occurring when Michael Scarborough's phone rang, and he told trooper Townsend that he looked down
at the phone and apparently drifted left of center in his Chevy van. There he struck Zachary Parrish's Honda, injuring Parrish and his passenger, Allie Ulmer of Phillips Branch Road, Boone. Both the Old Turnpike Road man and Ulmer were transported by Watauga Medics to Watauga Medical Center for treatment of injuries, but neither appeared seriously hurt. Michael Scarborough, of Linville Creek Road, Vilas, was cited for Left of Center in the crash that did considerable damage to both vehicles.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This tastes almost burnt. It's not the nice bitterness of really dark chocolate, and it's not sweet like lighter chocolate. It's like it's mostly cocoa butter with some very light coconut flavor, and then an off chocolate taste. I'm going to try to cook with it, melt it and make it into something else, but I really can't salvage it eating it straight. I'll stick with more traditional dark chocolates in the future.
Je ne rachèterais pas. Je trouve le chocolat noir vraiment trop amer et le goût de noix de coco est carrément absent. Je trouve le prix trop élevé.

The end of the dinosaurs
Now that school is back in session for another year, I think this would be a good time to change the Carbon High mascot. We've been stuck with a big extinct lizard for a long time and I think it's time to try something else. Maybe Carbon High could change their luck by picking a new mascot, preferably something that lives and breathes.
It's not like we didn't give dinosaurs a good try. We've had that mascot for most of a hundred years. They say a dinosaur was picked in the early days because of the many dinosaur tracks found in local coal mines. To their credit, the early Carbonites did pick a predatory dinosaur and not a lumbering, pea-brained vegetarian.
Back when I was a sophomore at Carbon, everyone said the school mascot was a Tyrannosaurus, but I don't think old T-Rex lived around here. The Allosaurus is the big lizard who called Carbon home, and maybe the Carbon logo is an Allosaurus now. Big deal. Lizards all look the same to me.
The Carbon Dino has changed over the years. In an effort to make him look more modern, we've upgraded the way he looks more than once. Fifty years ago he was a lumbering big mouth who dragged his flat bottom across the school marquee. More recently he has become more up on his toes, balanced, if you will, in a more aggressive, bipedal stance. But still, he's really just a dead lizard. No one even knows what color he was. I doubt he was blue and white.
Don't get me wrong. I love dead lizards as much as the next guy. I just don't think Jurassic fossils represent the county and the high school as well as some other things might.
Let's look at some of the other schools around the state and see what classy creatures they have for mascots. Several of them have ferocious felines. There are the East High Leopards, the Payson Lions, the Woods Cross Wildcats and the West Jordan Jaguars, for example.
Some schools have warriors for their mascots. Emery has the Spartans, Viewmont has Vikings and Northridge has Knights. Layton has the Lancers as their warrior symbol. American Fork's mascot is a Caveman with a big club.
Other schools have birds of prey, like the Salem Skyhawks, the Skyline Eagles and the Alta Hawks. Provo has Bulldogs, Box Elder has Bees, Beaver has Beavers and Bear River has Bears. Kanab has Cowboys, Manti the Templars, and Tooele a Buffalo.
A few schools still carry politically incorrect Native American names. Uintah has the Utes, Cedar has the Redmen, and Springville the Red Devils. Actually, the Springville Red Devil is a loveable cartoon caricature of the devil, but a controversy developed back in 2002 when an official of one of the native tribes sent the school district a formal letter saying the Red Devil mascot was offensive to Native Americans. It seems the natives don't like ol' Beelzebub, even when he's depicted as a cartoon smurf.
And then, a few schools have real cool names. Take the Jordan Beetdiggers, the Meridian Mongooses and the Delta Rabbits, for example. It takes real self-confidence to call your athletic teams Beetdiggers and Rabbits. But then, if I remember correctly, the Delta Rabbit is a representation of Thumper, of course.
So what should we use here at Carbon instead of a dinosaur?
We could go the ferocious feline route and become the Carbon Cougars. Perhaps a bird of prey would be better, something like the Carbon High Falcons. Or, we could use a warrior theme and become the Carbon Crusaders, Conquistadors, or the Carbon High Canoneers. Maybe a Native American theme, like the Carbon Casino Dealers.
Perhaps we could be brave and use one of those cool, provocative names like Beetdiggers, Mongooses and Rabbits. We could be the Carbon Coalminers, Hillbillies or Prairie Dogs. Or, we could be the first school in the state to adopt a green theme. How about the Carbon Recyclers, the Carbon Footprints, or the Carbon Emissions?
What do you think? If you have a better name for the dreary Dinos, write a letter to the editor and let us know here at the Sun Advocate. Who knows, maybe we can change the name, change our luck and change the world.

What is Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia. People often confuse the terms dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and and mild cognitive impairment.
A Lesson in Terms
- Dementia – Decline in intellectual ability impacting memory plus one or more other cognitive abilities severe enough to interfere with everyday functioning.
- Alzheimer's Disease – The most common type of dementia.
- Mild Cognitive Impairment – The "borderland" or transitional stage between normal aging and dementia
Overview of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, accounting for an estimated 55-75% of cases.
AD is an irreversible and progressive brain disease, with the most common early symptoms being memory difficulties and trouble learning new information. Alzheimer's disease was first identified more than 100 years ago by Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a German neuropsychiatrist, in his patient, Auguste Deter, a woman in her 50s who developed memory, language, visual-spatial, and orientation problems as well as delusional thinking. Upon Auguste's death, Dr. Alzheimer autopsied her brain, finding atrophy and the two hallmark neuropathological
signs of AD, amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. AD was originally thought to be a rare presenile dementia. Until the 1970s, most cases of senile dementia were attributed to arterioscelerosis. Today Alzheimer's disease is recognized as the primary cause of cognitive impairment in the elderly.
An estimated 5.4 million Americans of all ages currently have Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer's Association, 2012). This figure includes 5.2 million people 65 and older and another 200,000 individuals under age 65 who have early-onset AD. In the 2013 Alzheimer's Disease Facts & Figures report, the Alzheimer's Association notes:
- Another American develops Alzheimer's every 68 seconds; in 2050, an American will develop the disease every 33 seconds.
- Today, one in nine people age 65 and older has Alzheimer's and at least one in three people age 85 and older has the disease.
- One of three seniors 65 and older dies with Alzheimer's disease.
- Deaths from Alzheimer's disease increased 68% from 2000 to 2010, while deaths from other major diseases, including the number one cause of death (heart disease) decreased.
- In 2013, the direct costs of caring for those with Alzheimer's to American society will total $203 billion, including $142 billion in costs to Medicare and Medicaid. Unless something is done, Alzheimer's will cost an estimated $1.2 trillion (in today's dollars) in 2050.
While memory difficulties are the most common early symptom of Alzheimer's, the disease can start with other symptoms. Warning signs that indicate the need for an evaluation include:
- Memory loss significant enough to disrupt daily life and activities
- Difficulty planning or solving problems
- Challenges carrying out familiar tasks
- Confusion or disorientation to time or place
- Difficulty understanding visual images and spatial relationships
- New problems with speaking or writing
- Forgetting and misplacing things, while losing the ability to retrace steps
- Decreased or poor judgment
- Withdrawal from activities (social, work, etc.)
- Changes in mood and personality
For more information about these warning signs of Alzheimer's disease, visit the Alzheimer's Association.
Brain Changes in Alzheimer's Disease
Although identified more than 100 years ago, researchers have only actively been studying the symptoms, causes, risk factors, and treatment of Alzheimer's disease since the mid-1970s. While we do not know what initiates Alzheimer's, we do know the disease is damaging and progressive, and like other common chronic conditions, probably a result of multiple factors. Researchers believe that the accumulation of senile plaques – comprised of the toxic beta-amyloid protein – and neurofibrillary tangles – aggregates of the tau protein – in the brain contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. These neuropathological markers of AD start developing as early as 20 to 30 years before the onset of clinically noticeable symptoms. As more and more plaques and tangles form in particular areas of the brain, neurons begin to lose their ability to function and communicate with one another and die. Neurons are a vital part of the communication within the brain, allowing information and signals to be detected and transferred. In Alzheimer's disease, abnormal accumulation of plaques and tangles cause neuron cells to die, leading to dramatic shrinkage and cell loss affecting areas of the brain that are responsible for memories, thoughts, sensations, emotions, movements, and skills.
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is widely considered a transitional state between normal aging and Alzheimer's or another dementia. In MCI, memory and/or other cognitive difficulties (e.g., language, visual-spatial skills) disrupt everyday life (e.g., missing appointments) and are noticeable to the person affected and/or others (e.g., family, friends, work colleagues), but are not severe enough to interfere with basic living skills. Click here to learn more about the transition from normal aging to Alzheimer's disease or another dementia.
Progression of Alzheimer's Disease
Memory problems are the most frequently reported early symptom of AD and often precipitate the individual and/or family seeking a diagnosis. Initially short-term memory and the ability to learn new information is affected. Memory difficulties may appear subtle at first, often leading many individuals and families to question whether the symptoms are just signs of "getting old." As Alzheimer's disease progresses, a person may ask the same question or say something repeatedly within a short period of time, having forgotten the prior conversation. Objects may be misplaced and/or lost, and details about recent events may be forgotten.
Mild Alzheimer's Disease
As Alzheimer's disease progresses, memory loss continues and other cognitive abilities are affected. Problems may include difficulty with finding words and expressing ideas, getting lost, difficulty handling money and paying bills, repeating questions, taking longer to complete normal daily tasks, and poor judgment. Mood (e.g., apathy and depression) and personality changes are also common. Long-term memory, however, remains relatively intact at this stage. Driving becomes hazardous and should be given up. People are often still first diagnosed in this stage.
Moderate Alzheimer's Disease
As the disease progresses, beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles spread throughout the brain, affecting language, reasoning, visual-spatial skills, planning and organization, sensory processing, and conscious thought. Memory loss and confusion increase, and people begin to have problems recognizing family and friends. They may be unable to learn new things, carry out tasks that involve multiple steps, such as getting dressed, or cope with new situations. As a result, affected individuals become increasingly reliant on their caregivers who also struggle to manage the variety of behavioral and psychological symptoms (e.g., agitation, wandering, delusions, and hallucinations) common to this stage.
Severe Alzheimer's Disease
By the final stage, plaques and tangles have spread throughout the brain, and brain tissue has shrunk significantly. Long-term as well as short-term memory is lost. Often speech is limited to a few words. People become increasingly less responsive to others and the environment, and completely dependent on others for their care. Near the end, affected individuals may be in bed most or all of the time, as the body shuts down. Pneumonia or another infection may preceded death, however, the actual cause of death remains Alzheimer's disease.

Samsung has led the charge in Google Android's mission to win the hearts and minds of smartphone users and potential customers. The South Korean company's Samsung Galaxy II and highly anticipated tablet have launched it to top smartphone billing in the world this year and have it poised to give the upcoming Apple iPad 3 some true competition. So when looking at its Galaxy Player 5.0 media player Samsung's answer to the iPod touch, there were high expectations.
Compared to its playmates in the app-running, connected media player arena, we are sorry to report that this member of the Galaxy family line-up doesn't live up to expectations. When considering that the astronomical advances made in smartphones, apps, and all of the associated technology and consumer inspired accessories, one has to ask: "what is the point of paying for a smartphone that doesn't have calling ability?" Well, it's for the storage that makes it a media-centric and media-dedicated device for consumers' music, video, movies, etc. Accessories are designed to protect, personalize and enhance your mobile devices. Discover the latest innovative protective solutions and premium electronic accessories from the industry's most leading brands
How did this particular media player measure up? 40 GB if a microSD memory card is used as well. That is a full 24 GB less than a high-end iPod Touch. Die hard Samsung fans can always supplement this storage limitation with memory card, USBs and the like, but is something consumers need to beware.
As for aesthetics… this media player lacks the satisfying gleam and sophistication of its counterparts and also its Galaxy family members. Cheap and plastic-like with a somewhat bulky frame, Samsung missed the mark. Its physicality could be overlooked if the sound on this device was even decent. Without headphones the sound is tinny. They try to cover up the bass deficits with the headphones they include (which are decent), but use another headphone set of your choice and your eardrums and feet will be sorely let down. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with our stylish top brand accessories.
The plus side is that Samsung was true to its word in regards to battery life and the hours of media play an end-user will experience. But at the end of the day, that is cold comfort for the price. Coming in at approximately $30 more than the iPod touch, Samsung will likely find few takers and a slew of excess inventory on its hands. This writer's advice? Factor in all the costs in memory cards, USB sticks and headphones on top of below par camera, video, and sound quality. More likely than not, you are better off investing the cash in a high end, unlocked Samsung smartphone that will outperform and neatly keep all the same functionality in one pocket.

CUMBERLAND — The chief worry wasn't the 3.1-mile Monastery course, nor was it the competitors who lined up at the starting line.
Given the Indian Summer-like conditions that blanketed the region Tuesday, there was no question that the weather stood to register the greatest impact during this Northern Division tri-meet for both area males and females.
CUMBERLAND — The chief worry wasn't the 3.1-mile Monastery course, nor was it the competitors who lined up at the starting line.
Given the Indian Summer-like conditions that blanketed the region Tuesday, there was no question that the weather stood to register the greatest impact during this Northern Division tri-meet for both area males and females.
"The kids are spending all day in school. They don't drink enough, which leads to them getting dehydrated. Then you have the heat …" explained veteran Cumberland boys' cross country Tom Kenwood after his crew netting convincing victories over Lincoln (17-46) and Davies (15-50) before experiencing a tighter battle with Scituate (23-33). "I had Gatorade out there before the race, but it was a very good performance for everyone."
The Clippers netted seven placements among the first 10 harriers who crossed the finish line. Leading the way was senior standout Alex Southiere, who returned to active duty after sitting out last week's division meet. Southiere covered the course in 16:56, which was two seconds faster than the meet's runner-up finisher, teammate and sophomore Sean Laverty.
"That's Alex's third win of the duel-meet season," Kenwood gladly pointed out.
Scituate grabbed the third and fourth spots, yet it was the Clippers' superior depth that paved the way in achieving a clean sweep. Matt Smith placed fifth (17:39) followed by senior Kevin Smith at eighth (17:53), Will Mardo at ninth (18:27) and Abdullah Kaba at 10th (18:29).
"You can't replace Trevor (Crawley)," noted Kenwood when asked about the former long-distance specialist who took his running talents to Providence College, "but overall, I think as a team we're a little bit stronger than we were last year. The young kids have improved and continue to work hard."
The Clippers will take a 9-0 mark into next Tuesday's showdown against Mount St. Charles and Smithfield, two teams that each sport 8-1 records. Before that, Cumberland will head to Belfast, Maine this weekend to participate in the Festival of Champions.
Lincoln's top finisher was Nick Ryan, whose time of 17:44 earned him a seventh-place ribbon. The Lions are 3-4 overall while the Patriots are 0-7.
Lincoln High girls' coach Sue Carlson made sure to relay to her best scorer, Amanda L'Esperance, the importance of using proper judgment while on the course, particularly when it came down to where the sophomore stood in comparison with Cumberland sophomore Amy Laverty.
"We knew that Amanda was going to have a race with Amy and we just said 'Let's see how it plays out,'" Carlson said. "If Amy had a significant lead, let her go. If Amanda could hang with her, let her hang with her."
Depth-wise, Carlson knew that Lincoln would have a hard time keeping pace with Cumberland. She proved prophetic as Laverty and fellow Clipper Meaghan Scullin finished 1-2, respectively, such performances helping to jump-start Cumberland to elementary victories over Lincoln (18-43), Scituate (17-44) and Davies (15-50).
L'Esperance ended up coming in third place. As Carlson pointed out, Lincoln's close 27-29 victory over Scituate was a significant development that could not be underscored.
"We needed to beat Scituate in order to remain in contention for the division," said Carlson. "Right now, we're sitting in fourth, but depending on how next week plays out with Burrillville, Ponaganset and Scituate, we potentially could tie with somebody and make it to the states by way of the division, which would be more preferable than trying to have to do it by way of the class meet. We bumped up to Class A this year, which is different for us."
While Hiroko Yano's 14th place helped Lincoln's cause in fending off Scituate, Carlson felt the crowning achievement was the pack mentality that several of her runners displayed. Ailsa Ferland set the pace with her 17th –place finish followed by Bryanna Freitas (18th) and Fuko Yano (19th).
"Those three have been running consistently as a pack over the last three meets, and that helps put the hammer down," said Carlson.
Laverty netted her third individual dual meet crown with a time of 20:28 with fellow 10th grader Scullin not that far behind at 20:41.
"Amy's really a leader on the team. Only being a sophomore, she's got so much talent and it's fun watching her grow," said Cumberland head coach Joyce Bonner. "She's followed close behind by Meaghan."
Cumberland will face chief rival and fellow unbeaten Smithfield next Tuesday at Deerfield Park. On the same day, Lincoln will host a meet at Chase Farm Park that includes Davies, Central Falls, North Smithfield, Woonsocket and North Providence.

Does Your Dog Have Bad Breath?Friday, February 12th, 2010
While most people just accept the fact that their dog's breath smells like…well, dog breath…what they don't realize is that odor might signify serious health risks with the potential to damage not only your pooches' teeth and gums but also its internal organs. To address the significance of oral health care for pets, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and several other veterinary groups have joined to declare February as National Pet Dental Health Month.
Bacteriologist and fresh breath guru, Dr. Harold Katz, is not only an expert on fresh breath for humans, he is also THE expert on fresh breath for man's best friend. Dr. Katz is available to come in-studio with his electronic breath testing device, the Halimeter, and measure some pups' breath on air, giving pet parents sensible tips on how to prevent doggie gum disease and get rid of bad breath in dogs for good!
Katz has been a featured guest on tons of local and national TV shows across the country. Click here to view his most recent interview on Fox & Friends, and to access his full demo reel: http://www.viddler.com/explore/drkatz/videos/123/.

> I did this on my early mylar prototypes where I used stake loops (made from tape) rather than grommets.I was planning loops to stay away from grommets. It can't be pitched quite as close to the ground but that should aid in ventilation, too. Did you not like the loops? I was thinking of something like Scott Van Doeselaar did with his cuben tent.. I thought the way he did his mesh would work, too.> I haven't noticed any stretch, but realize that the design of the tent is such that the poles just pull the ridgeline tape tight each time it is pitched.I was referring to the stretching as you pulled the corners taut (at roughly 45 degrees) to stake.
> Did you not like the loops? I was thinking of something like Scott Van Doeselaar did with his cuben tent.Having now tried both loops and grommets with Space Blanket material, I like the loops better. Scott did a nice job with his cuben tent. Since the maximum stress (and most likely point for a tear) is right at the edge of the material beside the loop, I ran a second 3" strip of tape along the edge to spread the stress. Here is how I made the loops on my Mylar tents.To keep the loop from being sticky, I used a 1"x1" piece of tape stuck glue-to-glue in the center of the 3" strip of transparent duct tape forming the loop.I run the wire stakes right through the loops into the ground. After about a year of use, I have not had any failures ie rips or tears at the stake loops (Knock on wood)
> I run the wire stakes right through the loops into the ground.The way you stated that makes it sound like you pierce through the tape material in the same spot each time. I had envisioned the stake would go thru the loop created in the tape (where the 1 x 1 piece is) though it would need to be twisted about 90*. It appears you had your's stick out 1/2" from the edge. I was thinking more like 2" so it would be easier to twist without affecting the body so much.
Hi Michael,Sorry. Poor choice of words on my part. Yes the stake goes through the loop created in the tape. And yes this does twist the loop 90 degrees. When I build my next tent I will still leave the loop sticking out just 1/2" but make the loop-tape only 1/2" wide. I haven't had any issue with loop twisting over that short distance on the mylar tent body when using the wire stakes. The wire stakes are only 1/16" in diameter. If you are using fatter stakes that fill up these small loops, then the twist occurs over a much shorter distance and you should consider a longer loop. My thoughts about sticking out just 1/2" is that this allows me to stake the tent right to the ground if I want to, and if I wanted to stake it higher I can put a cord through the short loop. If I made the loops 2" long, then I would take away my option to stake a side right to the ground if I needed to.
I understand now. Thank you. I agree with your point, too - the 1/2" from the edge does increase your flexibility.I gather you favor mylar over LDPE (at least for you vs Scouts that may not be as careful). How much noise does it make in the wind?
> I gather you favor mylar over LDPE (at least for you vs Scouts that may not be as careful). How much noise does it make in the wind?Hi Michael,After building tents from both, I do like mylar better.It is as strong as Cuben, just as light, and way cheaper.By then selectively applying reinforced tape to the inside of the Space Blanket material in high stress areas of a given tent design, it greatly reduces the chance of failures, and allows sewing of the material.I like having the silver on both sides. It really does keep the tent cooler in the summer by reflecting sunlight. I also really like the one-way mirror effect. Being able to see out through the tent, but others can't see in.On the negative side mylar is stiffer than LDPE so it is more of a pain to fold. It took me a few tries to learn the trick to fold it back up tightly. The mylar does make a crinkling sound. I never felt it got "loud", but it also never is "silent" (unless there is no breeze at all). I have camped in the mylar tent for a year on scouts outings and no one has ever complained about the sounds the mylar makes. They do complain about the sound of my SNORING.On the negative side for LDPE. I found out the hard way that if you pack it really tight that the material will show stretch marks from zipper pulls, grommets, and cordage. This is why I have a whole page in my notes about how to fold the LDPE tent to make those three items end up on the outside of the rolled up tent.On the plus side for LDPE. It is perfectly quiet, and there is almost no chance of it ripping. It will stretch not rip.
Al,Did you do anything to finish the cut edge of noseeum that would lay on the ground?Have you tried just overlapping the noseeum doors? I was going to try to do away with the zippers.I have all the materials - now I just need the time to play. ;) I just put out samples of the white heatsheets material and 2 tapes for an extended exposure test.
>Did you do anything to finish the cut edge of noseeum that would lay on the ground?Hi Michael,I finished the zipper and tent edges of the noseeum, but I left the ground edge unfinished. I had cut it long enough to finish, but found that extra length more useful to tuck up under the floor forming a good bug seal. I see no signs of the noseeum unraveling on the raw edge after many outings (otherwise I would have finished the edge).> Have you tried just overlapping the noseeum doors? I was going to try to do away with the zippersYep. I tried that first. Even mild breezes would "gap" the doors in the middle during the night. Then in would come the flying bugs while I slept.Next I had the idea of using mini-binder clips to hold the doors closed. I took the edges of the two doors, rolled them into one another, then put three clips along the rolled edge. One at the bottom and two equally spaced along the 42 inches. This idea worked fine for a couple outings until I tested it in really gusty, high wind conditions. A middle clip would pop off when a strong enough wind blew against the noseeum doors.Before I made doors, I considered just making a noseeum curtain, but when I calculated how much extra material is needed to be able to lift up the curtain to crawl in the tent(about a factor of two), I killed that idea. It would add too much unnecessary weight and size to the folded tent.So I bit the bullet, went to thru-hiker.com and ordered a roll of #3 coil zipper and double sided pulls. I put the zipper in the middle (rather than the tent edge of the door for two reasons. First, the zipper is shorter (42" vs 56") and thus lighter. Second, the zipper in the middle is easier to get to by either of the two people in the tent. There is no reaching over the other person to get to a zipper along the tent edge. And finally I like the symmetrical design that allowed the doors to be unzipped and the tent body used as a 9'x7.5' tarp.Tip: When sewing the noseeum to the zipper and tent body, make your stitch length long. I read that in the backpacklight forums and did this when making my tents.I look forward to winter backpacking with the silvered tents. I found out last winter that they really do feel warmer inside than my Sierra Designs Lightening. And much lighter to boot.
> > Have you tried just overlapping the noseeum doors? I was going to try to do away with the zippersYes, I overlap mine. But I also put press-studs (snaps) at the overlapping corners to stop the doors flying open when a wind blows. Works well, also keeps the edge of the bathtub floor up..Cheers
Nice looking tent, Roger. I don't think snaps would work well for this as it would limit the flexibility of being able to pitch the "A" at differing heights.I wonder if a few strips of velcro would work? You'd need just small pieces on one door and the other door would have (mostly) horizontal strips, increasing in length closer to the ground. 4 would probably be enough. Based on Al's diagram, he made it so the tent could be anywhere from 66" to 72" wide (42-45" tall) so the lowest strip would need to be about 6" long.
> I wonder if a few strips of velcro would work?Yes, and no.Yes, it would work, but the hook part of the Velcro rips the hell out of the netting. A right pain.Cheers
Al,Stores near me don't carry "Extreme Application Packaging Tape" so I looked online ....I see "Extreme Application Packaging Tape" (8959-RD) and "Premium Extreme Application Packaging Tape" (8959)Do you know which you used?
Any 8959 is the same - just different packaging, length/width, etc. Al used a 1.88" wide roll that he cut in half with an exacto blade.
>I just put out samples of the white heatsheets material and 2 tapes for an extended exposure test.FYI, I just brought the samples in after 2 months of being taped onto the red roof of my son's plastic fort. We've had very little freezing weather so far, but I don't expect that would matter much.The LDPE Heatsheets material - even though quite thin @ 1 mil - didn't show any noticeable signs of deterioration! It didn't matter if the silver or white sides were up.Both tapes yellowed at least somewhat, and it's obvious the 3M 8959 has less UV resistance than the 3M 2120 that claims to have 6X what "normal" duct tape does. The 8959 lost all its holding properties after maybe a month, while the 2120 still has a little tack left when removed. The 8959 even released from the Heatsheets.I had planned to have the great majority of tape on the inside of the tent anyway. Unfortunately, I've been so busy with work and fixing up the house, I haven't had time to make a tent let alone go backpacking. :(
Hi Michael,Thanks for the UV tests on the material and two types of tape. It is good to see the LDPE Space Blanket material holds up. I suspect mylar Space Blanket would also hold up well, since NASA wraps it around satellites. UV is much worse in space.I have a question about the tape tests. Did you have any 8959 on the underside of the Heatsheet? If so did you see lose of holding properties for 8959 not directly exposed to the sun?
Al,Sorry, I didn't think that would be an issue since it wouldn't be directly exposed in that case so I didn't test it. I simple cut 2 9" squares of Heatsheets and taped them down to the roof using the 2 tapes. I had to supplement one edge of 8959 after a month as it gave way from the roof. The 8959 on the other outside edge was totally missing within the past couple days.I can try another test later once it's spring and we get more direct sun.
Hi Michael,Thanks to your tests, we know to run the reinforcing tapeon the inside of the tent fabric. As a winter projectI am pondering building a Jay Ham "5 yards to SUL" tarpusing Space Blankets and reinforcing tape -just to seeif this low cost SUL material would work and hold up.
> As a winter project I am pondering building a Jay Ham "5 yards to SUL" tarp using Space Blankets and reinforcing tape -just to see if this low cost SUL material would work and hold up.Al,Did you manage to get this done?How is your tent holding up?Any new advice to share?I'll FINALLY be building mine in the next month or so to prepare for a Rockies trip later this summer. I'm thinking of going with more of a flat tarp to setup in a half pyramid shape for ease of pitching.
> How is your tent holding up?Hi Michael, Tent is continuing to hold up fine on our regular scout outings since Philmont. I've replaced the ground cloth once, that is about it. New advice to share... I continue to be amazed at how little condensation this tent design/material has. A similar design tarp I tested made of silinylon had droplets all on the inside of the tent body (overnight with no one in the tarp). I need to set a series of tests that are a bit more elaborate than the ones reported in backpackinglight a few years ago. They used only a small square of several different materials. It was a nice study that found (as I am seeing) that reflective materials had the least condensation of potential tent materials.I'm also finding, now that it is getting hot here in Tennessee, that the having silver on the outside keeps the interior of the tent noticeably cooler. The tent I made with orange exterior and silver interior is hotter, and my silinylon tent is hottest of the three.
Cool (literally)! I'm hoping the anti-condensation properties are the same for silvered LDPE as it is for mylar. What I have is white on the opposite side so it should be relatively cool as well.

Dr Alan Silver is my favorite physician of all time. I waited quite awhile because the office was very busy and seemed a bit backed up. I think maybe the 3 pharmaceutical sale women/man may have had something to do with that? Don't know but he was so worth the wait. I have HMO which if you have the same you may know it's kind of a nightmare to get great medical care. I will spare you and not go into details. Your welcome. Anyway what a pleasant surprise! I found Dr Silver to be the most caring, patient and kind individual. Not to mention totally professional and completely thorough. I had no idea what was going on withy me but by the time we were done he was running some tests and had a pretty good idea. I didn't feel rushed at all and I felt a thousand times better when I was done. He was clear on what the tests were and why I may be feeling the way I did. He said the tests would make things more clear. I have found my Physician after kissing a lot of Dr. FROGS.

This show was part of the "1995 Fall Tour."
The show was mellow in a refined and sophisticated way. A nice introduction to the band but not a total mind-blower. It did open my mind to how skilled the musicians were and made me feel they were more like The Beatles than the Grateful Dead.
My first impressions were blown to shreds the next night but still I think this was the right way to get on the bus for me.
Highlights for me were Maze, SOAM, Tube, Antelope and I was hooked to go to Austin the next night 1/2 way through While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Squirming Coil did, ultimately, have me screaming for more as well. Overall, a fun show!

Ronald R. Martel
