NABOKOV SAYS NYET TO ISLANDERSBlows off NYI after acquisition on waivers
3:05 pm: Agent Don Meehan says Evgeni Nabokov refuses to report to the Islanders. Garth Snow tells Katie Strang, "My position is that he's a New York Islander and we look forward to having him."
When the news broke I was on the road, so here was my reaction on Twitter:
"My pal Ginger in the MSG hallway: 'Chris, Kirk Muller's not coming.' You mean, like tonight? No, Chris, Never.'"
"I guess when Nabokov said he'd report to any team…(fill in the blanks)"
"Guess you can say Nabokov and the Isles got what they asked for. If NYI are smart, they turn page immediately. Not worth it. Next"!
"Give credit to Isles for an honest effort to get Rex Ryan off the damn back page."
12:10 pm: The Islanders have acquired Evgeni Nabokov on waivers. The 35-year-old goaltender will make approximately $250,000 for the remainder of this season.
Per CBA rules, Nabokov cannot be used as an asset in a trade to another team, now that the Islanders have plucked him off the waiver wire after he signed a contract with Detroit. His agent, Don Meehan, went on record to Bob McKenzie declaring that Nabokov would report to the team that acquired him on waivers. His audition for a contract for next season will be with the Islanders.
Although it wasn't in their original plans, the Islanders save a good deal of money in the switch from Dwayne Roloson (traded Jan. 1) to adding Nabokov three weeks later. Today's move also allows them to potentially return Kevin Poulin to the AHL for development purposes, as long as Rick DiPietro is healthy.
Remember this: as long as DiPietro is healthy enough to play, he's going to get his share of games. You have to wonder if Meehan will get the proper "audition" he hopes for Nabokov.
For as long as they have him, the Islanders and their fans will enjoy Nabokov. Beyond his talent, the Russian goaltender is funny, an insightful interview subject and a solid teammate. He also has some integrity; he refused to talk during the playoffs about his impending status as an unrestricted free agent.

Alice Oh was born in South Korea in 1967. She grew up in a very creative environment; her father is an artist and her mother is a fashion designer. Her father's studio was in the house and Alice remembers that "there were no boundaries between studio and house." She worked with "his best brushes" and had the best quality paints and papers. She doesn't remember being given toys – she and her sibling made their own toys. She moved around a lot while growing up, and so was exposed to different cultures and different languages. The only thing that remained consistent was her art. Before graduating from high school, she lived in Korea, Italy, Japan and the US, and she is fluent in the languages of these four countries. Living in New York City as an adolescent and throughout college, she interacted with wonderful female artists who were inspirational to her. She also learned that someone could be a great artist and a great mother at the same time.
Alice went to the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City where she studied photography and illustration for three years. At the end of her junior year, she realized that what she really wanted was to be a painter. SVA did not have studios for seniors to paint in (she points out that Moore has studio space for juniors and seniors) so she applied to the Temple/Rome program through the Tyler School of Art. This trip served as a tremendous inspiration and also reinforced that she was heading in the right direction. When she returned, she wanted nothing more than to make good paintings, so she transferred to Tyler where she majored in painting and minored in printmaking. At Tyler's Penrose Gallery, she had her first art exhibition, with pieces ranging from landscapes, to abstract, to experimental art.
She went to Yale University for an MFA because she was looking for an "extremely intense experience." She came out of that experience understanding that "art is not something you do because you feel like doing it; art is your life. Art Equals Your Life."
When Alice was in graduate school, she became interested in bringing pieces of nature into her studio – water waves, leaves. At the end of her first year, she became very sick. While she was in the hospital, the doctor showed her a slide of her blood and she was very excited to see the cells and the virus, the colors. She knew at that time that this was what she was looking for. People confuse her work with abstract but she does not consider it so – "it is real." Her work is about looking at the microscopic view of something and enlarging it in to the macro. Ultimately, she had friends at different hospitals who gave her slides with different diseases that she has been collecting ever since. She describes her work process as "collective" – she reads a lot, she draws all the time (particularly from nature), and looks at other artists' work that inspires her, watches people how they move, observes nature.
Alice's first job after graduate school was as a Philadelphia public school art teacher. A friend who was teaching at Moore invited her to attend a faculty exhibition at the college in 1997. She was given her first class to teach at that time – basic drawing for freshmen. Three years ago, she was asked to be a faculty chair and she served as interim chair for two years. She now interacts mostly with the seniors in Senior Studio. She finds it very rewarding to watch the students grow.
When she started to teach at Moore, Alice gave a lot of thought to the fact that it is an all women's college. Now she thinks it is a "very special place." She sees students here as very focused, which she attributes partially to being at an all women's college. They are able to voice their needs and be heard. She knows of non-traditional aged students who attend Moore and feel very at home and very supported.
Alice does not think you can teach someone to be an artist. She says you teach someone how to be inspired, how to be open minded, how to think outside the box, and how to be extremely motivated. Motivation and inspiration are the two most important things from her own education that she wants to pass on to her students. She thinks that Moore provides something very different from just teaching someone how to be an artist; Moore teaches you "how to be a human." Moore provides the community in which students learn how to interact with one another and develop the personal skills that she sees as fundamental to success.
Alice thinks that Moore's size offers a great advantage to students. Faculty really pay attention to the growth of students and can interact with them closely. Alice says she knows all of her students and recognizes them when she sees them years after they graduate. "It's good to have an environment where people are paying attention to what you're doing when you're 18, 19, 20 years old."
Regarding teaching others to be leaders, she thinks that leadership is about going the extra mile. You need to be around peers who are leaders. Moore allows students the opportunity to learn about things like this in a safe environment before going out in the real world.
She hopes that her legacy at Moore is that she is remembered as a person who was a "dedicated, kind, available faculty member, one who was here for many years and worked very hard. That would be good enough for me."
Alice received a Pew Fellowship in 2000 and also a Leeway Foundation grant the same year. The grants provided her with the financial stability to take an extra step in her art – it helped to buy her time to do what she really wanted to do and time to do more research. Everything that goes into her art takes an enormous amount of time. She feels that this kind of advantage (getting the grants) is necessary to take your work up to the next level. She also appreciated the encouragement from an external source.

Neighborhood Alcohol & HIV Prevention in South African Townships (Philani)

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to test a mother-to-mother intervention during pregnancy and after delivery with mothers in South Africa, most of whom are at risk delivering babies with fetal alcohol syndrome, babies that are underweight, or babies that are infected with HIV from an HIV-positive mother. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will reduce the chance of these three health outcomes occurring in the babies and improve the health of the mother.

- HIV-related transmission acts [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Baby's health status [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Maternal adherence to HIV-related and general health routines [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: Philani Intervention Program
Behavioral: Philani Intervention Program
Offered to pregnant women / mothers through mentor mothers, i.e. mothers in community who are selected because they are doing well. They are trained to conduct home visits, 2 times a months through pregnancy. After childbirth, visits are spaced depending on the perceived need. If the baby is thriving and mother is coping well with health risks, mentor mother will visit once a month.
No Intervention: Standard Care
No intervention during study. Referral to clinic-based health care that is delivered by the province. Offered intervention at end of study, i.e. after 18 months.
Detailed Description:
There are four intersecting epidemics among pregnant women in South Africa: hazardous alcohol use (30%), HIV (27%), TB (60% of HIV+), and malnutrition (24% of infants). Unless the prevention programs for these epidemics are horizontally integrated, there will never be adequate resources to address these challenges and stigma will dramatically reduce program utilization. Furthermore, while clinics are the typical sites for treating each of these health problems, this proposal will examine a home-visiting prevention program delivered by neighborhood Mentor Mothers (MM) as an alternative to clinic-based interventions to reduce the consequences of hazardous alcohol use, HIV, TB, and poor nutrition. The intervention will encourage mothers to care for their own health, parent well, maintain their mental health, and, if the mother is living with HIV (HIV+ MAR), reduce HIV transmission and/or reduce alcohol use and abuse. The results begin to inform the optimal delivery strategy for next generation of preventive interventions in order to be feasible and sustainable for broad dissemination immediately following an efficacy trial.

The trial and then the verdict in the George Zimmerman case last week brought out all the ugly talk about race again, just as many kinds of actions in the past have.
Some thought that when we elected a President who was of a minority to the White House we had come a long way.
Maybe we have, and I have seen a lot of changes in attitudes in my 61 years on earth when it comes to race, but deep down, underlying all the laws and practices, bigotry is still a big problem in this country.
Growing up in white America as a white person, in a small town were there were only a few people of Asian decent and Latin inclination, I never knew anyone that was black until I got to college. There in a psychology class I met Steve, a black student from Philadelphia, Pa. We got paired together for a student study on some item that I can't even remember now. But I remember Steve. He was smart and personable. We worked together, and had to toil on the project outside of class for the entire quarter.
I remember him laughing when one day I mentioned that I had never known anyone that was black before.
He asked me if he was what I expected? I said I didn't know what to expect. He then promised me that he would not do his Al Jolson impersonation.
But knowing him became more than just knowing him as a student. I got to know him as a person. And his words about race and how he felt growing up as a minority affect my thinking today.
Last week when the President spoke about his days as a Black youth and that he could have been a young man laying dead on the street made me think of Steve. Steve had told me similar tales about his growing up in the east and that when he went in stores alone in Salt Lake people watched him closely.
We had a pretty honest relationship and I told him I thought he was full of it. He said he would prove it.
One day we cut some classes and went downtown. We went in Auerbach's together and spent the time there together looking at various things. I didn't notice anything different than normal in terms of attention paid to us.
"That's because you are with me," he said. "Let's go in the other end of the store, in another section but we will come in separately. You just watch what happens when I am alone and you are not with me."
We did that. He went in first and I came in a few minutes later. I watched. No sales people approached me even once, but as I viewed it from a few aisles over, he was approached three times. A floor manager also hung back in the aisles kind of watching Steve. As far as I could discern, no one was paying any attention to me.
He left the store and then I left and met him at my car.
"See what I mean," he said. "You grew up not facing that. I faced it every day. They were nice and just approached and asked if they could help me, but they were keeping their eyes on me."
After that quarter I never saw Steve again. He apparently went back home for Christmas and never came back to school in Utah.
But the lesson he taught me that day in that Salt Lake department store has never been forgotten.
Race is an issue in American, and until you can see the way it affects peoples' lives, it is hard to understand.

Submission Morphing Metals->
aarondubrow writes: Imagine a metal that "remembers" its original, cold-forged shape, and can return to that shape when exposed to heat or a magnetic pulse. Like magic out of a Harry Potter novel, such a metal could contract on command, or swing back and forth like a pendulum. Believe it or not, such metals already exist. First discovered in 1931, they belong to a class of materials called "shape memory alloys (SMA)," whose unique atomic make-up allows them to return to their initial form, or alternate between forms through a phase change.

Do you still buy a CD from an actual record store (!) every once in a while, only to go home, rip it to your computer, and let it collect dust? Digital music distribution company loudbytes just announced a new service that cuts out the dusty, unused CD part. The company's new service, "Crazy Funnel," works through point of sale systems, enabling retailers to sell digital music in stores.
So how's it work? Customers can buy digital music at checkout, with a download code and instructions printed directly on their receipts. After redeeming the download code on loudbytes' website, they get MP3 files of the purchased music. Loudbytes Founder and CEO Ruben Lozano points out that selling digital music eliminates the costs associated with inventory of physical CDs, saying in a press release, "We bring the flexibility and efficiencies online retailers enjoy to the traditional retail environment."
Bridging the physical and digital worlds? Sounds a lot like Tag! So it makes sense that loudbytes is also partnering with Tag on store displays. Customers who scan the Tags can access music and video snippets. Microsoft Tag General Manager Aaron Getz said, "Now with the scan of Tag on a product through the 'Crazy Funnel' service, consumers will be able to unlock and download licensed music, videos and other digital experiences."
Sun Diego, a Southern California retailer, is the first to integrate "Crazy Funnel" technology into its nine stores this month. It'll be selling this year's Warped Tour music compilation, and scanning a related Tag will give shoppers access to the track list and other album info. The La Jolla Group (which owns brands like O'Neill and Rusty) and JDS Solutions (Volcom, New Balance, North Face) will also be using the "Crazy Funnel" technology.
What do you think of selling digital music in physical retail stores? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

Phoenix Suns
Suns' Kendall Marshall excels in D-League debut
After being the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, playing time was hard to come by for Kendall Marshall.
The point guard from the University of North Carolina had played just 18 minutes in the Phoenix Suns' first 14 games. So late last week, in an effort to get the young prospect some minutes, the Suns assigned Marshall to the Bakersfield Jam of the National Basketball Development League.
Marshall made his D-League debut Monday night and acquitted himself rather nicely, scoring 21 points on 7-of-18 shooting with eight assists and two turnovers in 31 minutes. Bakersfield beat Santa Cruz 102-95.
Marshall and the Jam will continue their schedule Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Defenders, a team featuring former Arizona State guard Kevin Kruger. Suns general manager Lance Blanks is scheduled to see Marshall play some time later this week.

New Bell's seasonal, Smitten Golden Rye Ale, debuts in February
With a new year comes to a new addition to the Bell's seasonal spring lineup.
In early February, Bell's Smitten Golden Rye Ale will be released on draft and in six-packs - just in time to help transition into warmer days.
Coming in at 6% ABV, Smitten pours a hazy gold appearance.
"This is the perfect beer to help brighten those gray winter days and help warm your heart," said Laura Bell, Marketing Director for Bell's Brewery, Inc.
Drawn from one of Larry Bell's oldest recipes, Smitten began as part of a series of rye beers at the Eccentric Café in downtown Kalamazoo, where a variety of new and old favorites are still brewed right next door at Bell's original location.
That series also included Black Rye, Rye Stout and Kal-Haven Ale.
A combination of sharp citrus and resinous flavors from the Pacific Northwest hops with the earthy, rustic overtones of the rye malt yield an interesting and refreshing take on the American Pale Ale.
Formerly called Golden Rye Ale, Smitten is the first new regular bottle release since Oarsman Ale debuted as a year round offering in 2010.
For more information on where to find Smitten as well as other Bell's beers, please visit the Bell's Beer Finder online or contact your local retailer.
Complete list: Bell's events for Kalamazoo Beer Week 2013
This year's Kalamazoo Beer Week is shaping up to be another one for the record books with more than 80 events as of this posting.
We have 12 planned at various locations in downtown Kalamazoo, not to mention our regularly scheduled tours at both of our breweries.
There is even one additional event – a special vintage tasting on Jan. 19 (because we just couldn't fit everything we wanted to do in just one week). Take a look below for details and keep an eye on our social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Google+) for updates as well.
Jan. 12

Teams of two will compete to finish our downtown race course with stops and challenges at University Roadhouse, Up & Under, Harvey's, Shakespeare's Pub, The Kalamazoo Beer Exchange, The Union and Green Top.

Registration will begin at 11 a.m. at the Eccentric Cafe. Awards and prizes will be presented at 3:30 p.m. Please keep in mind you must be present to win.

How To Do a Braided Bun
Solange Knowles knows how to rock her natural curls on the red carpet. Why does this exaggerated style work? Her hair is full, but not frizzy.
To work her look: The secret to these perfect curls is using a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer. By cutting down on the amount of wind that hits your hair, curls dry soft and defined, not fuzzy and frizzy. Don't scrunch your strands with your fingers though—you'll disrupt the curl pattern. Instead, cup spirals with the diffuser, moving it up toward your roots.
Try T3 Soft Touch Diffuser, $21.45, amazon.com.
We heart Lucy Hale's soft, touchable waves. Not only are they gorgeous, they're also super-simple to create with this shortcut.
To work her look: Apply a dry shampoo to give your hair extra body. Try Aveeno Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo, $7.99, ulta.com. Next, part your hair to one side. Then, using a large-barrel curling iron, curl only the face-framing sections away from your face. Brush through to soften the curls and blend with them rest of your hair. Easy!

Since last year, I have had several opportunities to review unique, one-of-a-kind items from Things Remembered and I am never disappointed. The quality and thoughtfulness that goes into to each item is truly outstanding. That is why when I teamed up with Things Remembered again this holiday, I knew the item would become a keepsake treasured for years to come.
When I first saw the 2010 Make-A-Wish Bracelet, I was instantly reminded of one of my favorite quotes, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." – Les Brown. The bracelet features an exquisite multi-strand chain that is accented with a star charm that sits above a larger, round engravable charm that is bordered in CZ crystals.
But, perhaps, what makes this bracelet so special, is the fact that it is a part of the Make-A-Wish gift line from Things Remembered. For each purchase of a Make-A-Wish gift, Things Remembered will donate $2 of the purchase price, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $200,000, to the Make-A-Wish Foundation!
I wanted this bracelet to be something that I could pass down to Princess P one day and her gain encouragement from it. I also wanted it to be a reminder of how much I love her. But, until that time comes, I will enjoy wearing the "Radiant Star Bracelet" and think of her each time I look down at it.
Buy It: The 2010 Make-A-Wish Bracelet is available on the Things Remembered website for $40. But, it is currently on sale for $29.99

Three people, including a frequent felony offender, were jailed early Tuesday following a raid Monday night by the Metro-Jeff Drug Task Force at a room at the Royal Inn, routes 37 and 342 in the town of Pamelia.
Quantities of heroin and cocaine were seized in the raid, which was conducted shortly after 7 p.m., according to the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department, which assisted in the arrests.
Christine Countryman, 47, of 622 Gotham St., was arrested on a Jefferson County Court sealed indictment, and is being held without bail in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building to await arraignment. Contents of the indictment will be opened at the arraignment.
Paige H. Johnson, 24, same address, and Gregory D. Fagan, 55, Rochester, are each charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
They were arraigned before Brownville Town Justice Richard M. Parker, who ordered Mr. Fagan held without bail. Bail was set at $20,000 for Ms. Johnson. They await grand jury action.
According to a task force member, Ms. Countryman was the first to be arrested. She was being sought on the indictment warrant, and when she was found at the motel, investigators discovered alleged drug possession by the other two people. A search warrant was obtained, leading to the subsequent arrests.
Ms. Countryman was convicted of fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance in Jefferson County Court in November 2007, and was sentenced to a three-month term in the state prison systems Willard drug rehabilitation program.
Ms. Johnson is serving five years probation after being convicted in September of attempted third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, cocaine, in Jefferson County Court.
Mr. Fagan has a conviction record that has landed him in state prisons five times, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision website. In September 1978, he began a six-year term for attempted first-degree assault. He was confined about a year after being convicted in August 1987 of third-degree grand larceny in Monroe County. Again in Monroe County, in November 1992, he was convicted of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and served about two and a half years.
Mr. Fagan was convicted again of third-degree grand larceny in August 2001 in Livingston County and spent nearly five years in prison. On Sept. 1, 2010, he was released on parole from a term given him in Chemung County in March 2007 for fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

By CLAUDETTE LANGLEYSun Advocate reporter
Stella Smith knows firsthand what mental illness can do a family and wants to help local residents cope with similar situations.
The south Price resident is spearheading an effort to form a Carbon County affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
The first NAMI planning meeting is scheduled June 25 and Smith hopes it will draw everyone who needs support dealing with mental illness.The meeting will be at 5:30 p.m.. at Active Re-entry, 10 South Fairgrounds Road.
"I thought âoh my goodnessâ they are finishing my sentences," said Smith of her initial encounter with NAMI. "It was the first time I was around people who are speaking my language."
The stay-at-home mom said she has experienced the pain and frustration of helping someone close to her deal with the onset of mental illness.
"One of my family members starting getting really paranoid and thought I was plotting against him," shared Smith.
Her family member was eventually diagnosed with bi-polar disease and round after round of drugs in an attempt to get the disorder under control.
"In the beginning he was over medicated," she said. "He would try one of them for a couple of days and then be stumbling around and they would try something else."
Eventually the right doses of the right medication were administered and her loved one is now functioning fine, she said.
"Now heâs doing really well, heâs just great," she said.
However despite finding the solution for her own family, Smith also found a new passion - bringing support and services to others in need.
For her, NAMI and its myriad of programs are the answer and she picked up the torch and is carrying it throughout the county.
The torch was lit at an April 29 luncheon at College of Eastern Utah, which was attended by 40 residents and service providers.
The gathering was organized by Ben Moore, a case worker with the Utah Department of Children and Family Services.
Moore said he had known about NAMI for a long time and thought that it would be a great asset to residents in the county.
"Itâs such a great program," commented Moore on Wednesday. "It is the largest grassroots volunteer nonprofit in the United States."
Moore said NAMIâs programs provide much needed free mental health resources to the community.
"This is definitely needed. There are many families who donât work, donât even have a car and are in need of assistance," said Moore.
Assistance provided by the 29-year-old mental health advocacy organization comes in form of several programs, which include:
⢠Family-to-family - A 12-week course designed for family members of people who have mental illnesses.
⢠Bridges - A 10-week course for those living with mental illness covering everything from brain biology to treatment options to recovery.
⢠Hope for Tomorrow - An education program offered to secondary schools with components for students, teachers and parents.
For Moore, whose work is centered around children in the foster care system, Hope for Tomorrow is a critical addition to local schools.
"I am really interested in seeing this program get back into schools," said Moore. "It tackles issues like suicide, mental illness and sex education."
NAMI deems itself as a "grassroots, self-help, support and advocacy organization of consumers, families friends of people with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic and other severe anxiety disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other severe and persistent mental illnesses that affect the brain."
Moore and Smith emphasize that one of the key components of the organization is helping to erase the stigma attached to mental illness.
"Mental illnesses are brain disorders, which stem from an interaction of biological environmental factors. They cannot be overcome through will power and are not related to a personâs character or intelligence. The most serious and disabling conditions affect five to 10 million adults and three to five million children in the United States," indicates NAMI.
For more information, residents may call Stella Smith at 637-1371.

Canon's newly developed single-plate CMOS sensor with 8-channel reading technology delivers exceptional image quality and accelerated continuous shooting. Large and extremely sensitive, with approximately 8.2 million effective pixels (8.5 million total pixels) and a generous 28.7 x 19.1mm image size, it faithfully captures every nuance of your scene from highlights to shadows. Moreover, extensive noise reduction ensures an extremely high S/N ratio. Framing is natural because the sensor's 3:2 aspect ratio is the same as in 35mm cameras, and the sensor's large size realizes an effective angle of view that's just 1.3 times the focal length indicated on Canon EF lenses.
DIGIC II Image Engine
Compatible with DDR SDRAM, Canon's newly developed, state-of-the-art DIGIC II image engine achieves super high speed processing that results in continuous shooting of 8.2 megapixel images at 8.5 fps in maximum bursts of 40 (JPEG format) or 20 (RAW format) shots. This single-chip image processor employs original Canon algorithms to accurately convert signals from the CMOS sensor into crisp, high-quality images with natural color and rich gradation. By handling larger volumes of image data, DIGIC II also contributes to lower power consumption: up to about 1,200 shots can be taken on a full battery at 20ºC, or around 800 shots at 0ºC.
Memory Card Slots
Professionals and serious amateurs alike will appreciate the new flexibility that two memory card slots provide. Images can be recorded on a CompactFlash card or SD memory card alone; on both cards at the same time as a safeguard against losing important data; or on both cards, one at a time, to maximize storage capacity. Type I and Type II CompactFlash cards with capacities up to and beyond 2GB are supported. Other advances include faster writing of image data to memory cards and an easier-to-open slot cover knob.
Recording Quality
Images can be recorded in the JPEG image format, the RAW image format, or both formats simultaneously – with unprecedented control over image quality. The JPEG format is ideal when reduced file sizes are desired, and provides four quality settings (L, M1, M2, S) at any of ten compression ratios, as opposed to the Fine and Normal ratios available in previous models. Settings are easily selected by using a dedicated button that changes the setting shown on the rear LCD panel with each press. Canon's proprietary RAW format offers higher image quality, with rich 12-bit gradation and lossless image compression, but requires processing before use on a computer. This new CR2 version of the RAW format will be used on all future Canon digital cameras.
Color Matrix
Seven Color Matrix settings are provided for JPEG and RAW images, allowing unparalleled control over color characteristics. The settings include five factory presets that were previously available and two new settings that allow independent user adjustment of color space, color saturation and color tone within a prescribed range. Users can choose the more versatile sRGB color space or the Adobe RGB color space, which is ideal for fine-tuning the color saturation of images on a PC or outputting images for commercial printing in an Adobe RGB environment. Five-level adjustment is provided for both color saturation (Low, Slightly Low, Standard, Slightly High and High) and color tone (-2, -1, Standard, +1 and +2).
ISO Speed
ISO speeds are selectable in 1/3 increments (100-1600) and may be set as low as 50 or as high as 3200 through the ISO extension menu. This is the widest ISO speed range of any EOS digital camera. When combined with a high shutter speed, a high ISO speed can produce blur-free photos in dark settings.
White Balance
Through 10 selectable white balance modes and other advanced WB settings, the user can obtain highly accurate color reproduction in almost any kind of lighting. New WB Compensation allows adjustment of blue/amber and magenta/green biases in ±9 steps, as well as combined use of light-balancing (LB) and color-correction (CC) equivalent digital color filters. In fact, 360 combinations of 36 (4 colors with 9 steps each) built-in digital color filters are possible. Improved WB Bracketing creates three bracketed images from a single shutter release by shifting the white balance by up to ±3 levels from the value set in the current WB mode. Images can also be bracketed to a magenta/green or blue/amber bias.

With this article I want to provide a quick guide to setting up GTKradiant and Wolfcam for mapping as many people were willing to try it out but had problems getting started.
Files you need
GTKradiant (Latest)
- Windows/Linux
- Windows 32bit/64bit
.PK3 encryption tool
- Windows 32bit/64bit
Video Tutorial
Text Instructions
1. Setting up Wolfcam
In order to be able to quickly test your maps without having to put together a .pk3 file after each compile you need to set up wolfcam. To do this, download and unzip the wolfcam archive linked above to any desired location on your harddrive (I suggest you make a special folder for all mapping related files) and copy all the .pk3 files from your quakelive\baseq3\ directory to wolfcam\baseq3\.
Can't find your Quake Live folder? Click here.
2. Setting up GTKradiant 1.6.3
GTKradiant is the editor used to create maps for several id tech 3 engine games. To make it work with Quake Live you need to download the archive linked above and unzip it to your new map creation folder from step 1 or any other desired location.
If you launch the radiant executeable now, a popup will appear and you will be asked to specify the game you are looking to work with and enter the path to the game's engine directory.
Select Quake Live and point the path to your wolfcam directory containing the wolfcam.exe (DO NOT ENTER THE PATH TO WOLFCAM\BASEQ3; CHOOSE THE WOLFCAM ROOT DIRECTORY).
When you are done, confirm your choice clicking the OK button; radiant will now load the game's shaders, textures and entities.
Additional information
Playing your map offline in QuakeLive
The downside of using Wolfcam for QL editing is that it does not come with the QL physics. In order to test your map in Quake Live you need to pack it up in a .pk3 and encrypt it using quakelivedec.exe (link at the top).
.PK3 files are nothing but renamed .zip files and have the same structure as your baseq3 directory.
How to make a .pk3
Quakelivedec.exe uses a simple input-output system to encrypt files. To use it create a .bat file (make new .txt file, change extention to .bat) and enter:
<path to quakelivedec.exe> mymap_notencrypted.pk3 mymap_encrypted.pk3
Adjust the path (drop the <>) and the names to fit your pk3 file. To load the map in QL, drop the encrypted pk3 into your quakelive\baseq3 directory and set it to read only (right click, properties). Then use the Quake Live ingame console to load up the map (\map mapname).
Hope this helps. If you got questions, post below or join #radiant on Quakenet.
If you are not a premium user on QuakeLive you might be missing some textures and shaders. Be sure to have someone invite you on a premium server to make you able to download the PK3 files you are missing. If you do not have any friends with a pro subscription feel free to ask me about it.
If you get an error message trying to install GTKradiant, make sure you have the following microsoft redistributeables installed: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/downl....aspx?id=30679
(E.g. "MSVCR110.dll is not found")

OGDENSBURG An Ogdensburg man who fled from U.S. Border Patrol agents who wanted to question him about his activity outside a Route 37 business in June has been jailed on misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and fleeing officers.
Edward J. Trimm, 40, of 801 Elizabeth St., was arrested on a warrant Nov. 5. But his problems began June 16, when Border Patrol agents attempted to stop him after seeing him and another man going in and out of a garage next to Simple Pleasures Hair Salon at about midnight. Mr. Trimm drove away with the agents in pursuit, then stopped the car and fled on foot into the woods near the United Helpers building on Route 37.
The passenger he left in the car told the agents that he and Mr. Trimm owned the garage they were questioning him about and that Mr. Trimm fled because he had a suspended drivers license, state police said.
Patrols were unable to locate Mr. Trimm at the time of the June incident and had a warrant for his arrest issued by Oswegatchie Town Court on June 27. When police finally found him outside his home in November, Mr. Trimm again ran away but was caught a few blocks away on Jersey Avenue, police said.
Mr. Trimm was arraigned in Oswegatchie Town Court and sent to St. Lawrence County jail in lieu of $1,000 cash bail or $2,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled Nov. 20.

Exciting trailer… I hope that the video will be captioned for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing like me
deafdillos, it was captioned for me. Maybe they did it since your post, but if you aren't seeing it, click the "up arrow" on the bottom right corner of the video (while it's playing!), then make sure CC is highlighted. As a Hard-of-hearing cacher myself, thanks to whoever added the captions!!
I'm looking forward to the series! It'll help out when friends ask me what geocaching is.
Captioning now functioning on the trailer. And you bet! Definitely captioning on the video pieces. First one released this upcoming Tuesday.
Big thank for adding captions to the trailer! We are really looking forwardto see the episode!

when will the full movie be out
The Lost & Found videos will be a series of amazing – wait – MIND BLOWING two-three minutes pieces. The first one "Founders" is set for release tomorrow (Tuesday the 18th of May). We're off to Colorado this week to gather more stories. If you have any geocaching story ideas just let me know! Thanks
Lost & Found will be a series of exciting – wait – MIND BLOWING – two-three minute videos! The first one is set for release tomorrow! It's called Founders.
Thanks so much for the captioning for us deaf or with hearing loss. And the captions don't even cover part of the picture like they do on TV. I have seen, or not watched, so many tapes because I cannot understand what is being said. This is really great.
However, the pictures on the trailer go so fast that I don't have time to even focus on what the picture is before it is gone to the next one. Can you slow them down, or delete some of them? Such is life as we increase in years and wisdom.

MASSENA - Four classrooms at Madison Elementary School have been equipped with new Smart Boards thanks to fundraising efforts by the schools parent group.
Madison WHO Club President Kathy Perrine said Principal Alan C. Oliver had approached the group with a proposal to provide more technology for some of the classrooms, and the parent group was able to accommodate his request.
Hes at our meetings all the time. He did a proposal for four Smart Boards. Four teachers got Smart Boards, she said.
Mr. Oliver said the Smart Boards went to four classrooms that could accommodate them.
Four classrooms were completed with all technology needed to use them. Some of them had bits and pieces (of technology), he said.
The Smart Board is an interactive whiteboard that uses touch detection for user input, such as scrolling and right mouse-click. It operates as part of a system that includes the interactive whiteboard, a computer, a projector and whiteboarding software.
The components are connected wirelessly or via USB or serial cables. A projector connected to the computer displays the desktop image on the interactive whiteboard. The whiteboard accepts touch input from a finger, pen or other solid object.
Smart Boards are a great piece of instructional technology for classroom teachers. Its a great tool in the right hands, Mr. Oliver said.
Ms. Perrine said they were able to raise the money through Yankee Candle fundraisers, which she said are always successful.
We do one big (fall) fundraiser, Yankee Candle. Thats what were going to stick with. Were also doing a spring fundraiser, she said.
The donation came from the community support of the fundraiser, Mr. Oliver noted.
The Madison WHO Club had presented the district with an $8,000 donation in September, the proceeds from a Yankee Candle fundraiser. Those funds were designated to purchase instructional technology at the school such as Smart Boards, LCD projectors, Smart board moveable racks, and to cover the necessary writing and installation costs.
The board (of education) was gracious enough to accept the donation, Mr. Oliver said.
Thank you to the parent group and the community. We have an incredibly supportive parent community at Madison Elementary School. They always come through, he said.
Ms. Perrine said theyre planning to hold another Yankee Candle fundraiser in the spring.
Well deliver them a week before Mothers Day. Hopefully well be able to purchase more Smart Boards, she said.

Blood: The Last Vampire
Action/Adventure, Horror, Suspense/Thriller
On the surface, Saya is a stunning 16-year old girl, but that youthful exterior hides the tormented soul of a 400 year-old "halfling". Born to a human father and a vampire mother, she has for centuries been a loner, obsessed with using her samurai skills to rid the world of vampires, all the while knowing that she herself can survive only on blood like those she hunts. When she is sent to an American military base in Tokyo by the clandestine organization for whom she works, Saya immediately senses that this may be her opportunity to finally destroy Onigen, the evil patriarch of all vampires. Using her superhuman strength and her sword, she begins to rid the base of its evil infestation in a series of spectacular and elaborate showdowns. However, it is not until she forms her first human friendship in centuries with the young daughter of the base's general that Saya learns her greatest power over Onigen may well be her ability to make a human connection.
