Raltegravir is the first integrase inhibitor used in humans. It has been shown to be highly efficacious and well tolerated in phase III clinical trials in multidrug experienced human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-infected patients, as well as initial therapy in untreated patients. Pharmacokinetic studies in healthy adult subjects indicate that the major mechanism of clearance of the drug is glucuronidation mediated by UGT1A1, with a minor contribution of renal excretion of unchanged parent compound. Unlike CYP-based metabolism, glucuronidation is generally found to be relatively unaffected by hepatic disease. A single dose pharmacokinetic study of raltegravir in patients with mild to moderate hepatic insufficiency (Steigbigel et al. 2008) found no clinically important effect on the drug pharmacokinetic profile, with no dosage adjustment being necessary. The liver safety and tolerability of boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) has been evaluated in human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus (HIV/HCV) coinfected patients with advanced liver disease (decompensated cirrhosis) (Hermida JM et al. 4th IAS: Sidney, 2007). Similar to Raltegravir, ATV is also mainly metabolized by conjugation through UGT1A1. There is an urgent need for potent and efficacious ARV drugs with a clean safety liver profile even in patients with severe liver disease. The investigators hypothesized that pharmacokinetics will not be altered in HIV/HCV patients with advanced (Child-Pugh grade C) cirrhosis or in those with no histologic liver damage.

Rating: 4 / 5
Rating: rated 4 of 5 starsDesign: Semi-free-standingSleeps: 1Ease of Setup: Moderately easyWeight: 2 lb, 3 ozPrice Paid: $240I bought the Big Agnes Fly Creek to replace a Tarptent Contrail that I had been using. The primary reasons for the swap were: the Fly Creek has a smaller footprint than does the Contrail and I prefer the double wall configuration over the condensation-prone single wall tents.The weight difference between the two is small: 35.0 oz for the Fly Creek, 30.3 for the Contrail; both with all seam sealing, stakes, lines and a small ground cloth I use to protect the floor (1.7 oz) The Fly Creek is sold as a three-season tent.I really like the Fly Creek and plan to keep it; it works very well for me. But, I definitely would not recommend it to everyone. For large, tall hikers, the tent would be a bit short and the head space may be limited when you sit up. It certainly seems wide enough although the overall room is noticeably less than that in the Contrail. For me at 5' 10" and 170 lb, the Fly Creek is a good fit.I am an older, seventy-something, hiker who goes solo mostly. My favorite backpacking and climbing areas are the Arizona Sky Island mountains, The Grand Canyon, the Sierra and the North Cascades. I am a three season hiker now but do my early and late season hiking in the warmer Arizona mountains; July, August and September are reserved for the Sierra and North Cascades.I have used the Fly Creek on eight trips now totaling 31 days. Of the 31 days, I had rain to contend with on six. All but one day of the rain came in heavy thunderstorms with strong winds, very heavy rain and hail. The accompanying winds were estimated as well in excess of 30 mph. One of the days was a 24 hour steady moderate rainfall.Setting up the tent is easy. Lay out the tent body, stake out the four corners, assemble the aluminum bows and install them. The tent is ready for occupancy as long as you are not expecting rain. This part takes maybe two minutes, maximum.The tent is not completely free-standing in that the foot-end corners need to be staked out for the tent to take shape.Putting up the rain fly is a separate issue and takes more time and fussing. Perhaps four minutes decreasing with practice. You drape the fly over the tent bows and then fasten the plastic snaps; one at the foot of the tent and one on each side of the entrance.One then has to guy out the corners at the foot end of the tent, stake out the middle guy lines and stake out the vestibule ends (best done with the vestibule door closed). The tent body can be clipped to the fly at the top of the bathtub at "mid tent" to allow both to be guyed out with the same line. There are other guy lines on the fly that permit pulling the fly away from the tent body in the middle to allow for good ventilation.There are also tie outs that stabilize the bows at the front; I have not used those. I have, so far, needed a minimum of six stakes for the fly. I used titanium skewer stakes for this job.Please don't buy this tent thinking you can leave the stakes at home. I carry a total of eleven stakes (one spare) for this tent; four, 6" Easton and seven, 6" titanium skewer stakes. Rocks can be used for the guy outs but I like to have the stakes with me, available if necessary.I can easily fit in the tent with all of my gear. I use a short sleeping pad so my pack goes under my knees. It is well ventilated and roomy, for me. Getting in is more difficult than with side entry tents; I crawl in head first and then turn around.There is a slope to the entry door so if it rains this must be closed or water will get into the tent. In the rain storms I experienced with the tent, I stayed dry; there was no problem even with the high winds. I don't think I would want to sit out a four day storm in this tent but then there are no solo tents in which I would want to sit out such a storm.I have not used this tent in cold rainy weather. The rainstorms I experienced were in 45°F weather or warmer. It seems as though it would be dry and comfortable in colder weather but until I try it out in those conditions this will remain an unknown factor.Pros: Light, dry, roomy for average or smaller person, double wall, no observed condensation problems.Cons: Not really free-standing, rain fly is a bit fussy to put up, sloping door lets rain in unless buttoned up, moderately difficult to enter.

Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1 and Seedhouse SL1Specifications (as weighed by me)Fly Creek UL1Weight of fly and inner (in stuffsack): 628gPoleset (including stuffsack): 282g11 Vargo Titanium Pegs (and bag): 55gTotal 965gFloor space of inner: 106cm x 218cm, 2.04sqmSeedhouse SL1Weight of fly and inner (in stuffsack): 856gPoleset (including stuffsack): 283g13 standard Pegs (and bag): 166gTotal 1305gFloor space of inner: 109cm x 228cm, 2.48sqmThe Fly Creek UL1 is part of a series of ultralight shelters from Steamboat Springs, Colorado-based Big Agnes. A dual skin, solo tent made from identical fabrics to the award-winning Copper Spur UL, the Fly Creek's larger brother (the Fly Creek UL2) has already scooped a major award in the US. Adopting the same blueprint as the Seedhouse SL1 (SL = SuperLight, rather than UltraLight), the Fly Creek is in excess of 250g lighter, but consequently somewhat smaller inside. The Seedhouse SL blueprint, of which I am fond, having owned a Seedhouse for some years, is a functional and comfortable layout with negligible flaws - for example, the high-point, although 96.5cm, is not ideally placed for sitting & doing porch chores being perhaps 10cm too far back and the porch is so steep that there is no genuine possibility of safely cooking in it. These do not, in fact, detract greatly from what remains an extremely good shelter. Having recently taken a gamble on the new Vaude Power Lizard UL, which I found to be an exceptional tent but just not quite to my tastes, I stumbled (quite literally, in virtual & digital terms) upon the Fly Creek UL1. Given my reverence for the Seedhouse layout, the prospect of the Fly Creek burdening my rucksack with only 1kg was interesting. After some preliminary research, I bought one. Again, rather like my earlier review of the Power Lizard, these are precursory remarks opined with a view to supplementary study later through the auspices of a Field Test in June. My initial concern was whether the groundsheet (ultralight ripstop nylon with 1200mm waterproofing) would be sufficiently robust to obviate the need for a footprint. A discussion with Big Agnes proved positive. Curiously, on inspection, it is ostensibly more gossamer than the groundsheet of the Power Lizard which seems singularly recalcitrant for such a lightweight tent. Whether the Fly Creek is too delicate to be used without a footprint remains unexplored, but I know of at least two bloggers who have used other Big Agnes UL tents, manufactured in the same fabrics, without footprints & without difficulties. I would think a footprint in grassy terrain, suitably inspected, would be just about otiose. So far as the Seedhouse is concerned, I have used a footprint for it but really it was wasted weight at 155g. The upper part of the inner is constructed from part mesh & part ultra-thin nylon (which feels identical to the diaphonous cocoon of the Power Lizard). This means there is likely to be sufficient ventilation. Indeed, as can be seen from the photographs I've taken, there is mesh at the feet end as well to provide ventilation. The inner is designed to clip completely to the Y-shaped single DAC featherlite pole (whereupon Big Agnes push their green credentials with environmentally sensitive anodising), unlike the Seedhouse which required some threading along dorsal loops & clipped only at the porch area. This is an improvement as it will make the Fly Creek easier to erect in wind & rain. It's an inner first tent, but with some care, the fly can easily be placed over the inner to lessen the rain ingress during pitching. There are double zips in the inner and outer permitting ventilation and both zips close one-handed with no catching.Another deviation, readily observed, is the removal of a sliver of the inner along the dorsal ridge towards the rear. This means one less clip & less mesh. It's an intuitive design progression, as this space is utterly superfluous in the Seedhouse. The Fly Creek feels undeniably more compact inside, but not negatively so. The crucial affairs - enabling sufficient free movement within the inner, tolerable seated head room & the copious space at the porch end allowing access to gear whilst lying down - all remain more than tolerable. I remain comforted by the ease of pitching Big Agnes tents with this blueprint. Achieving a taut pitch is effortless if all the fly straps which clip onto the inner at the pole grommets (of which there are three) are loose & everything pegged tight first before adjusting them. The inner automatically sits taut with adroit peg placement at the back. The only issue I've ever experienced with the Seedhouse SL1 is getting the porch taut as it is often perfect across the front but not the sides or vice versa - this seems to have disappeared in the Fly Creek UL1. I always use the guys at the side of the fly (enabling rain egress & reducing condensation risk) & at the front if I expect wind. The Seedhouse was a pretty unyielding shelter if pitched into the wind & the shape of the Fly Creek is identical. If the materials are equally sturdy, I anticipate few concerns. I have replaced the DAC V-stakes, each weighing 11g, with Vargo titanium pegs (each weighing 5g). 11 pegs shaves 66g off the total tent weight dropping it below 1kg (964g for mine, in fact). I've been impressed by Vargo titanium pegs & every tent I own has had them. You could easily do the same for the Seedhouse.I'm excited by the Fly Creek. It's akin to the welcome return of an old friend following a crash diet. I think tents are moderately about ambience - like all kit, the most functional tent in the world is worthless if you can't sleep in it & there's much to behove a shelter that simply has that unquantifiable peculiarity which makes it satisfyingly cosy. It is an idiosyncratic quality which I found in the Seedhouse & I look forward to getting re-aquainted in June. There's little doubt that this is a 3-Season tent, just, but I would not want to find myself in a winter wild camp in it - it's pretty sturdy and well-pitched into the wind, I think it would be fine in almost all 3-season situations but I'd want something more robust for winter - the iconic Hilleberg Akto or, the recent pretender to that throne, the Tarptents Scarp 1.Edited to add photos.

I used this for my JMT hike this summer. I bought it based on its weight, and that it was a double walled, freestanding tent. Initially, its a nice tent. What I liked:Easy to pitch (unless its rocky soil)Lightweightvery smallroomy enough for me on the inside ( I am 6')small footprintWhat I did not like:Vestibule was much too small. Could barely get my pack under it, and even then, it had to lean up agains the mesh door. Not a true freestander. You have to guy out the back of the tent. They should offer an add on kit that makes this a freestander. Lastly, and most importantly, my zipper on the fly failed. Mid way thru my 19 day trip, the first threat of real rain, I broke the zipper on the fly. Seems to me its much too flimsy. Compared to my buddies MSR Hubba, this zipper is junk. I had to sew the bottom of the fly closed, which then made getting in/out of the tent a bit lame. Overall, a good tent, but I brought it back to REI and will be looking at a new shelter for next season
Sweet rig worth every penny! Packs small its super light and set up with ease on 3'of snow held fine to moderate winds and light snow as well. The few times I've had it out its been great to me!!!!

Moberg et al: Highly variable Northern Hemisphere temperatures?
by William Connolley and Eric Steig
The 10th Feb edition of Nature has a nice paper "Highly variable Northern Hemisphere temperatures reconstructed from low- and high-resolution proxy data" by Anders Moberg, DM. Sonechkin, K Holmgren, NM Datsenko, & W Karlin (doi:10.1038/nature03265). This paper takes a novel approach to the problem of reconstructing past temperatures from paleoclimate proxy data. A key result is a reconstruction showing more century-scale variability in mean Northern Hemisphere temperatures than is shown in previous reconstructions. This result will undoubtedly lead to much discussion and further debate over the validity of previous work. The result, though, does not fundamentally change one of the most discussed aspects of that previous work: temperatures since 1990 still appear to be the warmest in the last 2000 years.
The novel thing about this paper is the use of wavelets (a statistical tool common in image-processing software) to separate the low and high-frequency components of the data. The temperature reconstruction is then formed by combining the high-frequency (< 80 y) signal from tree rings with the low-frequency (> 80 y) signal from lake sediments and other such non-annually resolved proxies. This does two things that may be important: it allows the non-annually resolved proxies to be used (recent previous reconstructions, e.g. MBH98, Esper et al., used only those with at least a value each year, to allow calibration against the instrumental record; Moberg's approach allows the use of data that only provide 50 y means); and it throws away the long-term signal from the tree rings, which they consider to be untrustworthy. Other techniques have also been used or suggested for the merging of the low and high frequency signals (Guiot, 1985; Rutherford et al. (2005)).
The result is a more long-term variable signal than, e.g., Mann, Bradley and Hughes (1998; henceforth MBH98). Moberg et al. end up with two "warm peaks" in the smoothed record around 1000 and 1100 A.D., at 0 ºC on their anomaly scale. A few individual years within these intervals are almost +0.4 ºC warmer than the average. In comparison, the most recent data from the instrumental record post 1990 peak at +0.6 or a bit more, on the same scale. The coldest years of the so called "Little Ice age" occur around 1600 and are about -0.7 colder than average, with individual years down to -1.2 ºC.

You can imagine it would be difficult for a female lead to really stand out amongst a gorgeous, testosterone-filled cast, but for our August Girl of the Month Cody Horn, this is simply not the case. The breakout star shined in Magic Mike, and we suspect her performance in the September thriller End of Watch will be just as memorable. But in addition to her acting abilities, we'd like to discuss the fact that Horn has also been killing it on the fashion front lately. Stepping onto the red carpet in an exciting assortment of ensembles, including the perfect red leather dress and an embellished jumpsuit, her sartorial choices continue to be irrefutably chic and noteworthy one hundred percent of the time. So in honor of Horn's top-notch taste, we've rounded up an assortment of desirable fashion and beauty items to help you get her look!
On the Red Carpet
One of the things we noticed right away about Horn is that she tends to favor anything with clean lines and a sleek silhouette. The Marios Schwab dress she wore at the Young Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles two months ago (top, right) is a perfect example, and we love how the leather bodice and shoulder cutouts give the overall look some edge. We saw a similar effect at the ESPY awards in Los Angeles last month (bottom, left); Horn's Cushnie Et Ochs zipper-front, keyhole dress exudes a sophisticated sex appeal befitting the actress. Clearly we don't have a girly girl on our hands, but that's not to say Horn doesn't appreciate a feminine accent or two on occasion. Her boudoir-inspired look, which consisted of a Jean Paul Gaultier blazer, corset, and lace shorts, at the Los Angeles premiere of Magic Mike back in June (bottom, right) was quite intriguing and made for an unexpectedly chic red carpet look. We also must commend Horn's outfit at the Max Mara Women in Film cocktail party (center), as her Max Mara Triacetate Jumper ($1650, available at select Max Mara boutiques) hits on the recent embellished trend!
Get Her Look
Zara Embellished Tank ($70, 323.935.5041)
Not only is the embellished neckline on this Zara tank a nod to one of fall's biggest trends, it also reminds us of the jewel-adorned detailing on Horn's Max Mara jumpsuit! For those two reasons alone, not to mention the reasonable price tag, we think this top is truly covetable and would look amazing teamed with a pair of printed pants.
Kate Spade New York In The Loop Cuff ($78)
Given Horn's minimalist aesthetic, she is sure to appreciate the uncomplicated design of this Kate Spade New York cuff. The glossy resin and 12-karat gold trim lend the bauble a chic and luxurious look that is perfect for day-to-night wear.
A.L.C. Theodore Jumpsuit ($695)
Combining sophisticated tailoring with the sultry spirit of a deep-v neckline, this A.L.C. jumpsuit has Horn written all over it. While we imagine she'd wear this stylish one-piece to an upcoming red carpet premiere, it happens to be a fitting choice for a GNO too!
La Regale Glass Bead Box Clutch ($158)
The fact that we've spotted Horn sans bag on more than one occasion leads us to believe that her carrier of choice is probably petite and unquestionably unfussy. Accordingly, La Regale's bead-embellished box clutch seemed a fitting selection. It's elegant without being overly feminine-a quality Horn is sure to love-plus it comes with a removable chain strap, giving you the option to go hands-free on the dance floor!
BCBGeneration Crisscross Dress ($138)
Since winter whites are an essential trend for fall, you'll have plenty of time and occasions to wear this playful BCBGeneration number. Whether you dress it down for the weekend with neon sandals or add a few sparkly touches for an evening out, this frock, with a unique crisscross front and peek-a-boo cutout, is a true ode to Horn's signature style.
Philip B. Oud Royal Gravity Defying Gel ($28)
The secret to achieving Horn's slicked-back red carpet hair is simple: Philip B.'s Oud Royal Gravity Defying Gel. Thanks to a special blend of polymers and glycerine, the gel delivers an ultra-firm, long-lasting hold that leaves your locks feeling silky and soft, not crunchy or sticky.
Bebe Promise Lattice Sandals ($129) in Black
It didn't take long to see that our GOTM loves a strappy shoe, so including Bebe's new Promise Lattice Sandals in today's story was a no-brainer. Offset the heels' intricate design with a solid-colored shift dress or leather mini.
Topshop Gold Jacquard Mini Skirt ($80)
Horn's edgier sensibilities will likely be drawn to the lustrous metallic sheen and exposed gold zippers on this to-die-for jacquard mini from Topshop. Just be sure to style it with a slinky tank and strappy sandals to further channel our GOTM's effortlessly cool style.--Jessica Baker

Energy-Efficient Ventilation Systems
TrueFRESH™ Ventilation Systems
Brings fresh air into the home, even when windows are closed
Recovers up to 70% of the heat (in cold weather) or cooling (in warm weather) from the air leaving the home*
Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV's) reduce the amount of humidity coming in room the outside air on humid days
Answer: The Honeywell Whole-House Ventilation System removes stale air and replaces it with fresh air. A centrifugal blowers brings fresh air into your home from outdoors and at the same time exhausts the stale air in an equal amount. Both the incoming and outgoing air streams pass through an exchange core where the energy from the exhaust air is efficiently transferred to the incoming air. In the winter, this means that the fresh air coming into the house is warmer than the cold air outdoors. In the summer, this means that the fresh air coming into the house is not as hot as the air outdoors.
Vents in your home draw the stale air into the Honeywell Whole-House Ventilation System to be exhausted outside. After the heat and energy is exchanged, the fresh air brought in through the ventilator gets distributed in the house though the ducts of your heating or cooling system.
Answer: A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) saves energy by transferring heat between the stale air exhausted to the outside and the fresh air that is brought inside. This makes sure that when the ventilator is bringing in outside air, the heat stays inside the house in the winter or outside the house in the summer. The Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) saves energy by transferring both heat and moisture. Both the HRV and the ERV are Honeywell Whole-House Ventilation Systems that provide the ventilation and allow you to save energy. Check with your local contractor to find out which one is right for you.
Answer: The size of the HRV or ERV depends on many factors including the size of your home, the number of people in your home, and whether you are ventilating special use rooms (such as bathrooms or laundry rooms). A local heating and cooling contractor can assist you in choosing the correct Honeywell Whole-House Ventilation System for your home.

The legendary Big Five—the lion, the African elephant, the Cape buffalo, the leopard, and the rhinoceros—call this protected paradise home. Located in the Limpopo province, Waterberg rests in the country's northernmost corner, where brilliant Black-headed Orioles flit through the lavender trees and playful impalas graze in the high grasses.

LOWVILLE Anna Exford was nowhere near the bottom when she successfully spelled that word during Fridays annual Lewis County Fair spelling bee.
In fact, that word propelled the Lowville Academy and Central School student to victory in the grades one and two contest.
Anna said afterward that she was happy with the results.
Her father, Lowville Middle School Principal Scott D. Exford, was, as well.
Very excited, said Mr. Exford, who was a judge at the regional spelling bee at General Brown Central School, Dexter. Were very proud of her. Its a good experience to get in front of a crowd like that.
Anna said she practiced for the contest by reviewing online word lists with her mother, Jessica.
Second- and third-place finishers in the grades one and two contest were Madison Trainham from Copenhagen and Isaac Aubel from Lowville, respectively.
Students from the Beaver River, Copenhagen, Lowville and South Lewis central school districts and River Valley Mennonite School and home schoolers participated Friday in four different grade-level competitions.
In grades three and four, Peyton Smith of Beaver River took the title, while Colton Olinger of Beaver River took second and Emma Dening of Lowville took third.
In grades five and six, Morgan Feisthamel of South Lewis won, followed by Adrianna Bodruck from Copenhagen and Dawson Gerdon of Beaver River.
And in grades seven and eight, home school student Paul Jennings took the crown, followed by Ruth Haldeman from River Valley and Elizabeth Wood from South Lewis.
Dawn D. Ludovici, Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services assistant superintendent and the spelling bee master of ceremonies, said the annual contest provides students with an opportunity to stand in front of a crowd albeit in a more relaxed atmosphere than other bees and show their knowledge.
Its a great family event, she said.
The spelling bee, held on the second Childrens Day of this years fair, was sponsored by the Watertown Daily Times and Journal & Republican, the Lewis County Agricultural Society, the Lewis County Democratic Party and Jefferson-Lewis BOCES.
The top five spellers in each age group received books and cash prizes ranging from $10 to $35. All participants also received certificates and ribbons.
Today is Family Day at the fair.
Activities begin with an open horse show at 9 a.m. and a dog show at 10 a.m.
The Coleman Bros. midway opens at noon, with $25 wristbands to be sold from noon to 4 p.m. that will allow purchasers to ride until 6 p.m.
The 2013 fair will conclude with the annual demolition derby. The first run will begin at 1 p.m., while the second will start at 6 p.m.

Orchard Park, NY - Orchard Park High School student Kaely Kwitek is in a fight for her life, and she's helping other teens battling cancer.
Last October, she wasn't feeling well and her doctor ordered blood work for mono and it came back positive. A few months later, she had back pain and doctors took out her gall bladder. Still, the pain persisted. So, doctors performed surgery to remove her appendix and found a tumor.
Kaely says, "I was like in denial. I didn't want to believe it. I mean no on wants to believe they have cancer."
Her life quickly changed, and now includes chemotherapy as part of treatment.
Kaely explains, "I miss my hair the most, just being normal because now I think I'm known as the girl with cancer, and I'd rather just be known as Kaely."
Kaely is grateful for the support of family, friends and her community. She found it invaluable to talk with other teens fighting cancer. So, she started Kaely's Kindness Foundation to help teens with cancer connect.
Kaely explains, "We're able to talk about things our friends don't understand. We all deal with the medicine, the side effects. We can talk about the nurses. How we deal with everything, and it's just easier to get in a group of girls our age. We all can connect in a way that no one else really can."
Kaely's mom teared up when sharing a story of two teenagers who met through a Kaely's Kindness event at a spa.
Maggie Dreyer says, "This beautiful girl walks in with a full head of hair. We honestly thought she was in the wrong place. We watched her mom and her explain who they were, and that she was just diagnosed. Another girl and her mom were there and, oh my gosh, I just got done with chemotherapy the one girl said, and I had the same diagnosis as you. The moms hugged and the daughters sat and talked and exchanged contact information. Then, I knew that we were doing the right thing."
Kaely's fight against cancer continues, and she has this advice for teens recently diagnosed. "If you keep a positive attitude and surround yourself with people who will help you it makes everything better."

The Power of Independent Thinking
Whither America: A Foreign Policy Debate Among Realists, Nationalists, and Internationalists
Recorded: Tuesday, May 6, 2014
May 6, 2014
George Washington University, Washington D.C.
"The long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sparked renewed debate about foreign policy within both political parties. William Kristol recently said that while Republicans generally agree on domestic policy, the real debate would be on foreign policy. Likewise, in the Democratic party, the more hawkish Clinton wing of the party continues its clash with the more dovish McGovernite wing. To focus on these differences, The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and The Independent Institute in Oakland, California are hosting a debate among the various foreign policy traditions. Please join us for this necessary and timely debate."
Ivan Eland is the Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute.

By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate reporter
After two tough losses at home, the Price American Legion squad picked a pair wins at the Rangely tournament this past weekend, pulling even with Olympus in league standings.
In double header action vs Herriman on July 10, Price went down 7-2 in the first game. Steven Zamantakis pitched all seven innings with a Kenyon Crisp double and Caden Sherman RBI providing the offense.
The evening's rubber game saw Price pick up their offense with double by Crisp, Chris Smith and John Grasso. Team errors were an issue however as the final score tallied 11-5.
Grasso tossed the game's first two innings with Sherman coming on to finish the game.
The legion squad traveled to the Rangely Invitational Tournament over the weekend, exhibiting tough pitching and solid hitting throughout.
The tournament's ice breaker was a nail biter of a game that saw Price go down 3-2, despite a pitching gem by Brendon Johnson. Kellen Trujillo had a double providing the team's biggest offensive burst.
Price trounced Moab 9-2 in their second contest of the tournament as another solid outing by Sherman on the mound held Moab to a pair of runs. Price's bats were on fire as Chris Smith racked up four singles, Zac Hathaway had three and Ethan Tuttle pounded a double.
The teams winning ways continued vs Uintah. With the game tied a four after seven innings of play, Price bats exploded again, pouring five more runs on route to a 9-5 victory. Sherman and Trujillo both tripled in the eighth inning to go along with a Smith double.
Allowing only one run after the seventh, Hathaway pitched a complete game, securing the win for his team.
Price hit a wall against Rangely in the tourney's final contest as errors cost the Carbon County ballers a chance at one more W.
The legion squad finished fourth out of eight teams at the out-of-state tournament.
Price will play next on July 19 with their opponent to be announced.

any chance you cna post a link to them? i ahve no tiffs laying around...
This is an odd one.
I cannot seem to view more than one page of a .tiff image.
I had a .tiff image sent to me of 6 pages. When trying to open it using Gimp and even GQView it only shows the first page. I also tried downloading xv (another image viewer), but unfortunately it does the same. The image can be viewed perfectly by windows imaging and shows all six pages. After looking around on the net for a while i still have not found a solution. Your help is much appreciated.
any chance you cna post a link to them? i ahve no tiffs laying around...
Have a look at this url:
there is a file 60002...tiff, just save to hdd.
P.S. It's supposed to be 6 pages, and obviously it's not just this .tiff but any i try. Doesnt matter what viewer i try and use.
[edit:gorn]fixed link[/edit]
there is a library (libtiff) that is used for reading tiff files, so probably the reason all viewers are just showing the one page is because the library only supports one page. try checking libtiffs homepage or mailing list for info on fixing this. good luck!
i used kfax and it opened up nicely.
Hey Guys
Kfax works great! Thanks! I also had a look at libtiff but already had the latest .ver so i am still not sure why the other viewers wont work, still like to work that one out. Otherswise kfax does the job superbly.
How now would i get it to be the default viewer for my .tiff images, and better than that appear in my "right click" option when selecting a .tiff to open.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres home opener for the 48 game 2013 season will take place on Sunday, January 20th against the Philadelphia Flyers, a source told 2 On Your Side.
The game will take place at 12:30 p.m. at First Niagara Center and will be broadcast on NBC and Channel 2.
The NHL will not release the 2013 schedule until the players ratify the collective bargaining agreement. That is expected to happen on Saturday.
The NHL season is scheduled to begin on Saturday, January 19th. As of right now, it is not clear if the Sabres will play a road game on that day.
The NHL season has been reduced to 48 games due to a lockout the lasted more than 100 days.
The preparation for the season continued on Friday with several Sabres players skating at the Northtown Center in Amherst. Goaltender Ryan Miller joined the players for the first time on Friday morning.
More than 200 fans were on hand to watch the players skate. The Sabres coaching staff is not allowed to join the team until the lockout is officially over. Training camp is expected to begin on Sunday.

While many wireless carriers have tried the money back guarantee before as a way to encourage customers to walk-in and make the switch to their networks only to quickly abandon the program it appears as if Sprint is taking this idea to a whole new level. Recently Sprint announced they will be starting a "Satisfaction Guaranteed or Money Back" program that they currently do not have any intentions of ever axing.
This new money back program will enable customers to open up a new line of Sprint service for 30 days and if they are not satisfied with it they will get reimbursed for the device they purchased, activation fee, get the early termination fee waived, get a full refund for the service plan monthly recurring charge and get all associated taxes and Sprint surcharges associated with these charges waived. That is certainly an impressive deal that is sure to entice a few customers to make the switch to Sprint. Having the ability to essentially test a new phone on the Sprint network is a huge incentive to all mobile device customers. Since Sprint will be refunding every possible penny you could have spent to join their network it will really be a no brainer for people who are shopping around for a new wireless network to go ahead and try out some of Sprint's new phones.
With the impending release of their 4G network I am sure that many mobile device consumers will be lining up to get their hands on a new Sprint phone when their current contracts are up. Having the chance to test drive a 4G for free with this money back guarantee will be too enticing for some people and I know I will certainly be giving Sprint a try when my contract ends.

Much Ado about You (Mass Market Paperbound)
When you're the oldest daughter, you don't get to have any fun
Witty, orphaned Tess Essex faces her duty: marry well and marry quickly, so she can arrange matches for her three sisters -- beautiful Annabel, romantic Imogen and practical Josie. After all, right now they're under the rather awkward guardianship of the perpetually tipsy Duke of Holbrook. But just when she begins to think that all might end well, one of her sisters bolts with a horse-mad young lord, and her own fiance just plain runs away.
Which leaves Tess contemplating marriage to the sort of man she wishes to avoid -- one of London's most infamous rakes. Lucius Felton is a rogue whose own mother considers him irredeemable He's delicious, Annabel points out. And he's rich, Josie notes. But although Tess finally consents to marry him, it may be for the worst reason of all. Absurd as she knows it to be, she may have fallen utterly in love . . .

In an effort to reduce the strain on its Sheriffs Department, Jefferson County is looking to other agencies to provide security at Watertown International Airport near Dexter.
Were looking into all the options, said County Highway Superintendent and Airport Manager James L. Lawrence Jr.
With the Sheriffs Department down two deputies, the county is looking to the three villages near the airport Brownville, Dexter and Glen Park for support.
Our primary focus is to just make sure theres uninterrupted protection over there, said Legislator Barry M. Ormsby, R-Belleville, chairman of the Board of Legislators airport ad-hoc committee. Its in the concept stage. We havent moved anything too far down the field.
The Aviation and Transportation Act of 2001 requires at least one law enforcement officer at each Transportation Security Administration airport security screening location. There are two flights out of the airport each day Monday through Friday, and one flight on Saturdays and Sundays. This year, American Airlines submitted a proposal to the U.S. Department of Transportation to add a second flight on Sundays through its American Eagle subsidiary, which provides service from Watertown to OHare International Airport in Chicago.
It is not clear whether police officers at the village level, who work primarily on a part-time basis, will be able to provide the kind of consistent coverage that the airport requires.
But County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III said that any agreement would be structured to provided full coverage at the airport.
A bigger problem concerns questions about what jurisdiction the officers will have at the airport, according to county attorney David J. Paulsen.
The Sheriffs Department and the state police have countywide jurisdiction, Mr. Hagemann said. But the jurisdiction of village police may be restricted to the municipalities they serve.
The TSAs obligation is to discover a security problem, Mr. Hagemann said. After they discover the problem, the TSA turns it over to the local law enforcement entity.
If an incident were to arise, to resolve or mitigate it, it gets turned over to the local policing agency, Mr. Hagemann said.
And while village police still would have certain arresting powers as peace officers, they would not have the full complement of abilities they would in the normal course of their duties.
That means they likely would have to call in a sheriffs deputy or a state trooper to assist in any serious situation.
The same would be true if the county decides to hire a private security agency, another option that is on the table, according to Mr. Hagemann.
The issue hinges, to a great extent, on economics.
In 2006, when the county took over the airport, the TSA provided a healthy stipend to subsidize security operations there. Seeing an opportunity to create a satellite outpost for the department, the county planned to station a platoon of four deputies at the airport.
Over the last several years, however, that money has all but dried up, leaving taxpayers on the hook for those extra positions, according to county officials.
The county currently receives about $29,000 from the TSA for security operations at the airport a paltry sum compared with the more than $97,000 it was receiving just two years ago. That money could be used to hire additional part-time village police or private security contractors, though it may not cover the entire cost of those contracts, Mr. Hagemann said.
The Sheriffs Department first raised concerns about the duty in early March, when Sheriff John P. Burns said that a personnel shortage would keep him from providing a detail to the airport. The department was down four deputies at the time.
In July, Undersheriff Paul W. Trudeau told legislators that despite two new hires, the department still was short-staffed and no longer would be able to guarantee a deputy at the airport.
At issue were the remaining two vacancies at the department. The Sheriffs Department wants those positions filled to bring it up to full strength, but the county is looking to cut those positions to save money.
The two positions were part of the addition of four deputies to the departments roster in 2006, during the early days of the countys involvement with the airport.
Before agreeing to fill the two remaining vacant positions, county officials want to see a hard accounting of how the Sheriffs Department is allocating its resources something they say the department has been unwilling to provide.
Mr. Trudeau did give a presentation to county officials in March, after which he said he heard nothing for months.
With budget season in full swing, administrators and legislators are trying to scrape away every excess expense in a year in which revenues are down and state-mandated expenditures continue to mount.
At the same time, the airport has been such a resounding success that sustaining operations there has become more of a priority than ever.
The county just announced the name of the newly hired airport manager Grant W. Sussey, director of aviation at Orange County Airport, Montgomery plans are underway for a terminal expansion and, on Friday, workers were installing a new hangar at the site.
But the board hasnt lost sight of the basics.
When it comes to serving our customers at the airport, its up to us to have a plan A, B and C so that operation goes off without a hitch, said Legislator Philip N. Reed, R-Fishers Landing, chairman of the boards General Services Committee.
We need to either fill those two positions or hire private security at the airport. ... Its a discussion were having, said board Chairwoman Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick, R-Watertown.
Mr. Burns and Mr. Trudeau did not return calls seeking comment Friday.

King Lear (Korol Lir)
This is a Russian, black-and-white production of the great Shakespearean classic, starring Juri Jarvet. Long-considered one of the greatest and most wrenching tragedies in world literature, King Lear shows that great force of character is not necessarily wise, rude speech is not necessarily unkind, and madness is in some cases a perfectly reasonable response to intolerable conditions. This film's low-key, dark imagery is a fitting match for the dark content of the play itself.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

A set of two bass pickups with vintage sound, an expansive midrange, and commanding lows.
The EMG JAX set-of-two is a bass pickup option based upon one of EMG's originals, the J model. This addition differs in that it uses Alnico V magnets instead of the ceramic magnets of the original. Because the JAX bass pickup uses Alnico V magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone is endowed with openness and warmth for a more vintage sound, all with less noise and more signal. EMG has no doubt that the JAX bass pickup set, with its natural presence, powerful lows, expansive midrange, and superior definition, will be as esteemed as its predecessor.
The EMG JAX bass pickup and other EMG pickups from the X-Series provide increased headroom, giving the voicing an organic and open tone while still maintaining the clarity and response that EMGs are renowned for. EMG JAX pickups are best described as bridging the gap between passive and active tone.
The EMG JAX bass pickup package includes: EMG's exclusive Solderless Install System, a split shaft volume/tone control set, an output jack, a battery clip set, plus screws and springs.

Comments about EMG JAX Bass Pickup Set:
I love the EMG JAX sound because these pickups actually let you hear what your instrument should sound like. I can feel the instrument better and be more creative at the same time. No matter if you play at low volumes or crank it out these pick ups bring your instrument to life and allow you to be creative and use your instrument to its fullest.
Available in three colors to match just about any color combo. I cselected the white to match the finish on my four string signature series Marcus Miller Fender Jazz. The JAX series is plug and play so no drilling, cutting or soldering! The pick ups are direct replacements so they fit perfect. All volume,tone controls and input jacks are included also. The pick ups are super quiet! The tone is very vintage but mantains a very modern edge. Wide range of tones with what comes in the box. Add the EXB tone enhancer if you are a tone freak like me. I have the JX series in my natural color signature series Marcus Miller and the sound is more modern with a very mid range punch great for slapping. Install the JAX Series if you need a do it all tone. Awesome Funk,Rock,Jazz, R&B, Latin Etc.
Well I need to say it again first and far most quiet!!! Noisy pick ups on a bass is not cool or fun. Do not except anything lees than the best if you are serious about your tone. The wiring is professional quality. The pick up covers are strong and robust built to last. The Vol and tone pots are pro quality & again quiet. EMG = Quality. Quallity USA Manufactured Products.
The EMG JAX pickups are a great value because you can do all the work yourself and the result will be a professional look and sound every time.

In a book, Benjamin Anderson tells the story of how a wealthy entrepreneur reacted to the imposition of much higher income-tax rates in 1935 at the bottom of the Great Depression. Anderson's Economics and the Public Welfare, a highly regarded study of the Great Depression, was based on his personal experience as an economist for the Chase Manhattan Bank and the editor of the Chase Economic Bulletin. Anderson recounts the case of one rich man who,
at the age of 25, had inherited an estate of about $12 million — some thirty years before these 1935 taxes came. He had nursed his $12 million into an estate of about $30 million during those thirty years.
He had done it by a kind of activity particularly helpful and useful to the country....
He had taken many risks, knowing that many of them would turn out badly, but counting on a few of them to turn out well enough so that the profits on the successful ones would offset the much more numerous losses on the unsuccessful ones....
In the individual ... a vigorous man fifty-five years old, the effects of the new taxes were paralyzing. More than three-fourths of any profits which he might have [made] from a new venture would be taken away from him by income taxes. Any losses which he might incur ... would be his own.
But further, if he should die, his estate would have to pay the federal government and to the state of New York ... $19,602,500, or 65.342 percent of the estate. How could an estate pay this tax if it were spread out in new ventures, in assets for which no ready market existed, in assets which could not be liquidated without great loss?
It was a painful thing to watch him turn his energies from creative production to consultation with tax lawyers as to how he could save as much as possible for his heirs. It was a painful thing to watch a vigorous man of fifty-five turning from creative activities to preparation for death....
He withdrew as far as possible from illiquid investments, and turned to investments of a high degree of liquidity.
Anderson then made a most pertinent observation: "One may well raise the question as to just what good it did to the people of the United States to put this typical man in this position."
What good, indeed? Right at the very bottom of the worst depression the country had experienced since its founding was an entrepreneur with capital and a willingness to risk it in an attempt to gain profits in ventures which, had they proven successful, would have hired the very people most dreadfully impacted by that depression. Instead, he withdrew from the markets altogether, and retired.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Ask almost anyone around Castleview Hospital in Price who they would go to for advice or a solution to a problem and they will say two words.
Terri Watkins.
Watkins who has worked at the hospital for 28 years is a stalwart for everyone who works or visits there.
She epitomizes the boss/friend/advisor/confident role that many people would like to play, but never do.
"Terry is not only the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) of the hospital but the mom away from mom that we turn too," stated Christine Hammer who works at the facility. "Any problem, personal or professional, she is the 'woman.'"
And for this year she is not only the 'woman' for those at Castleview, but also the Sun Advocate's business woman of they year.
A native of Carbon County (born and raised in East Carbon) and one who attended public school here (a graduate of East Carbon High), Watkins demonstrates daily the care and compassion it takes to be a nurse.
But as anyone knows, being a nurse is more than just caring. In fact an old adage in the nursing profession says that if all it took to be a nurse was to care, anyone could be one.
But just anyone can't be one. It takes high levels of education, a willingness to get your hands dirty and facing what are sometimes awful, grueling hours day after day.
Some of that is past for Watkins now since she was promoted to the director of nursing at the hospital five years ago, but now the problems are different.
However the rewards are are similar.
"It's always been about seeing people get better from illnesses or injuries they have had," said Watkins. "We work hard to keep patients safe and healthy. There have been patients who think things haven't gone so well when they are here, but for every one of them, we have 99 people that are happy with what transpired in our hospital."
Watkins has had the experience to direct others with great skill and understands their problems. After graduating from Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho) with an associate degree in nursing she worked for seven years at Utah Valley Regional Hospital. Then came the chance to return to Carbon County and to work at the new Castleview Hospital in 1980.
During her years at the hospital she has managed just about every department including the ER, the ICU, the wellness program, occupational therapy and the OB. During that time she also was able to get a bachelors degree in nursing from the University of Phoenix and then a masters from the same school in nursing education and administration.
All this experience and a way with people has led to great leadership according to many of her coworkers at Castleview.
"She leads others with compassion and inspiration," said Laura Wissmar, respiratory manager at the hospital. "She exemplifies our motto to always 'do the right thing' for our employees, physicians, volunteers and patients."
While Watkin's education and experience is important, her sense of duty, integrity and humor apparently serves her well in a business where high stress is common from day to day.
"Terri has managerial responsibility for nearly 200 employees and manages a portion of the hospital that generates millions of dollars in revenue," said Jeff Manley, CEO of the operation. "Terri's integrity, work ethic and sense of humor make her an extremely valuable member of the management team at Castleview Hosptial."
With all that responsibility, somehow she also manages to have a family life too. She has six kids, three of her own and three from her husband's first marriage. And she keeps what is important in perspective.
"One of my great successes in life was that fact that we blended our families together so well," she said. "That's a hard thing to do without a lot of bickering and fighting and we never had any of that."
That blend of children has produced seven grandkids and "one on the way," she said with a smile on her face.
Outside the workplace her interests includes sewing ("I wish I was better at it because I grew up with a mom who was a home economics teacher"), crafts and particularly reading. She says she is not a great cook, but gets by.
"I admire the fact that she knows how to maintain a balance between her career and her family life," said Denise Sanchez, the manager of the ER. "Whether you are a seasoned nurse or a new graduate from CEU, you can count on Terri for guidance and compassion."
Frustrations? As with all jobs there are some.
"I guess my biggest frustration is the way the rules of Medicare keep changing," she stated. "You just get a program started and they change the rules on it."
Watkins spends a lot of time looking at nursing procedures and comparing them with national trends to be sure the staff is up-to-date on the treatment and care of patients.
"The interaction I have with staff, nurses and doctors is very important," said Watkins. "We want this to be the best hospital it can be."
Some of her time, like all employees at Castleview, is spent deflecting criticism of the facility, and clearing up misunderstandings about the hospitals role and the quality of service it provides to the community.
But according to some, if people would just look at what she does and how she operates, that would change many of those negative thoughts about the hospital.
"Terri is the perfect example of someone who is dedicated, knowledgeble and proficient at what she does," said Elaine Bowman, marketing coordinator for the hospital. "These attributes benefit the entire community of people who use the hospital's service."

GOUVERNEUR Motorists driving through the village for the next two construction seasons can expect delays as a $9.1 million reconstruction of a section of Route 11 has begun.
The project will include a center turning lane, the closure of Beckwith Street, a closed drainage system that will pipe storm water to the Oswegatchie River, coordination with the village to replace water and sewer mains, intersection changes and a west-side sidewalk. Part of the work will be the reconstruction of Main Street from North Gordon to Railroad streets. Another part will replace a drainage system along Trinity Avenue and North Gordon Street.
This year, the focus will be on underground utilities, state Department of Transportation spokesman Michael R. Flick said. The big push will be the trunk line under Trinity Avenue and the Kinney water line. Kinney Drugs has long struggled with inadequate water pressure and flow to its distribution center, which has increased the cost it pays for insurance.
The first year of the construction, to be done by Rifenburg Construction Co., Troy, will take place over the length of the project but will not generally be as encompassing as in the second year, when the roadway is paved.
The disturbances will be localized, Mr. Flick said. Given the nature of the work, its not a speedy process. Some of it is deep. A lot of it is rock.
There is no detour because one was not available. DOT does not use village streets as detours because they are not wide enough or built to handle truck traffic, Mr. Flick said.
Were pretty limited, he said. The local folks will find their way around.
The village is spending $756,422.34 to improve its water and sewage lines while DOT has the road dug up, Mayor Ronald P. McDougall said.
In addition, the village will replace some of the light poles on Main Street and improve water hookups. A price is not clear because the village intends to do as much of the work as it can itself, Mr. McDougall said.
As a separate project, DOT is milling and repaving part of Route 58 that runs through the village.
