Sony Nixes Plan to Scratch Discs for PS4
Sony reportedly almost decided to limit its next-generation PlayStation gaming console to downloaded games, eliminating the device's ability to run games stored on physical discs. That option was scotched, however, due to concerns about the reliability of worldwide Internet access and the possibility of alienating game retail partners.
May 31, 2012 10:50 AM PT
Sony's next-generation gaming console will arrive next year, according to The Wall Street Journal. Users of the upcoming system will be able to play games by inserting discs, just like they do with the present-day PlayStation 3. However, Sony executives reportedly came very close to limiting the console to downloadable games only.
Currently, PS3 users can either buy a physical copy of a game or download games and other digital entertainment content from Sony's online store without using a disk or cartridge. Because of concerns about the varying quality of Internet service worldwide, however, Sony decided to keep the disk format option in its upcoming console.
A switch away from disks would also presumably have an effect on retail store sales of disc games. However, some retailers such as GameStop have already started to offer online-only products such as codes users can buy and then plug into their computers or consoles to download a game. Apple and Google have also had some online success selling games and gaming apps via their online stores.
Microsoft conducted similar discussions about a download-only limitation for its future Xbox console. That company also reportedly decided to stick with a disk-based console because of connectivity concerns.
More video game announcements are expected at the E3 video game exposition in Los Angeles next week; however, Sony and Microsoft aren't expected to officially launch a new Playstation or Xbox console at this year's annual conference.
Sony didn't respond to our requests for comment.
Not Quite Ready to Dump Disks
Piracy has been a serious concern for the video game industry for years, and many companies have instituted a variety of countermeasures to combat the trend. Limiting games to downloadable content could make it more difficult for pirates to swap games illegally. However, Jia Wu, senior analyst at Strategy Analytics, told TechNewsWorld said that while piracy is a problem, the main drive to move online is for customer convenience and the ease with which games can be purchased online, leading to more profit for Sony.
Even though Sony and Microsoft made decisions to stick to disks, at least for their next offerings, Wu said that gaming companies are well aware that any new console must be able to keep up with the demand for online capabilities.
"The trend is online," he said. "It's more convenient for consumers to buy content. They save time and they can easily make purchases, so it really increases the sales opportunity of gaming content, as well as other content such as music and the add-on packages after you download the game."
Console makers face growing competition from other systems, Ted Pollak, senior gaming analyst at Jon Peddie Research, told TechNewsWorld. With a wide array of connected home device offerings, consumers might not be willing to splurge on a separate gaming console when they have a PC that connects to a smart TV, for instance.
"Console technology is really old," he said. "There are so many choices with media experiences and usability such as smart televisions, Blu-ray players and other connected living room experiences, that outside of gaming, use gets really limited with a console."
For all the perks to online connectivity, though, users abroad might not demand a switch away from the traditional disk, he said.
"The market is there for a new form, but obviously not in the whole world," he said.
Adapting Retailers
The gaming world may one day be ready for download-only limitation in gaming consoles, acknowledged Wu, but until then, Sony most likely feels it's better safe than sorry when keeping the disk format.
"The disk is still important," he said. "It guarantees that there is a stable game experience. Eventually Internet speeds and stability will improve, but we're not sure to what extent and how quickly, so this is a way to stay safe."
In the meantime, he said, traditional brick-and-mortar retailers are trying to adapt to the changing marketplace before a completely online format could force them out of business. Sony, Microsoft and other companies with game offerings will also need to figure out how to launch products without that retail connection, said Wu.
"Microsoft and Sony really value that connection with the retail store," he said. "They serve as a channel to display games, for instance. When there's a big game launch, people tend to wait outside, and its a phenomenon. Stores like GameStop are adapting because you can now buy games online, so they're still a distribution channel, but they're going to have to figure out a way to be valuable going forward, such as perhaps launching an online game platform."

In tough financial times it seems plenty of companies are claiming they can save Utah homeowners from foreclosure. There are a growing number of advertisements offering home loan modifications - or foreclosure rescue plans- for up-front fees. In Salt Lake City, FBI Special Agents who specialize in mortgage fraud investigations are teaming up with investigators at the Utah Department of Commerce to issue the following warnings.
The FBI and the Utah Department of Commerce are receiving complaints from homeowners alleging they paid up-front fees for home loan modifications, but companies are not delivering on promises.
Be cautious of a company's pitch for fees; many lenders offer free help for homeowners seeking home loan modifications.
Home loan modification programs can be a way for homeowners who face foreclosure to keep their homes. When done properly, a homeowner who qualifies may be able to lower his or her monthly payments. Many lenders offer this service for free and there are a number of HUD-approved counselors who can answer homeowners' questions about the process.
However, FBI mortgage fraud investigators and state investigators have noted a steady number of complaints about various companies that claim to offer home loan modifications.
Homeowners say they've paid as much as two-thousand dollars in fees, filled out paperwork and thought the companies would modify their loans. But consumers report that some companies aren't following through with the process, while other companies claim the homeowner didn't qualify for a loan modification. Unfortunately, by the time consumers figure out they've been scammed they've lost the fees and are closer to losing their homes.
Such cases are a growing concern to FBI Special Agent in Charge, Timothy J. Fuhrman and Executive Director of the Utah Department of Commerce, Francine Giani.
"Foreclosure rescue scams are possibly the most egregious of all consumer scams," said Giani. "Here homeowners lose twice. They lose their home and their money to fraudsters who prey on their desperate situation with nothing to offer but empty promises."
The FBI special agent also told people to be wary up front, because afterward is usually too late to do anything about the situation.
"We want to warn homeowners before it's too late," said Fuhrman. "Usually, by the time someone reports a problem, they've been victimized. We want consumers to know how to spot a scheme and where they can get the legitimate help they need if times get tough."
Consumers can file complaints about such practices in three places.
FBI Salt Lake City Field Office at (801) 579-1400 or http://saltlakecity.fbi.gov/
The Utah Division of Real Estate: As part of the Utah Department of Commerce, the Division of Real Estate provides public protection through education and licensure of real estate brokers, sales agents, appraisers, and regulation of residential mortgage lenders. Consumers can report real estate fraudsters to the Division of Real Estate at 801-530-6747 or by filing a complaint form: http://www.realestate.utah.gov/complaint_form.pdf.

I am an atheist who, for the most part, never debates or argues with Christians that I know about their beliefs. I don't have an issue with mainstream or moderate Christians. I can fully appreciate how their beliefs provide comfort on matters such as death and give meaning to their lives. My personal experience and reason however have brought me to a different conclusion about these matters.
I draw the line however on fundamentalist Christians. Fundamentalists want to undermine the foundations of science and reason in order to fit their literalistic interpretation of the bible. No one who cherishes science and reason should sit idly by and let fundamentalists pry creationism into schools and teach children that the world and universe are only 5,000 years old. Fundamentalists need to be fought at every turn!
Keep up the good work John.

It is not possible to separate God from religion. God may or may not exist. Religion definitely exists. Things that exist must be talked about. Religion must be talked about. You cannot talk about religion without talking about God, therefore you should not stop talking about God.

I'll toss in the 'ol comment. I have mentioned before the value of having men like Loftus and Barker articulate the problems Christians face, trying to fulfill their role as "drone" in the happy Jesus movement. My guess, is that the years spent in a fundamentalist movement do something to your head. Blogging, writing, and debating might be a way of self therapy. I remember how militant I was in devotion to our church leadership. The lost years, the unnecessary groveling, and the control given to others…will downright piss you off.
Hartung's article kind of serves as a meter as to the impact of the Gospel of Reason! You see, people don't like it when the brainless comfort of our white, suburban, christian cultural structure is questioned. Why all the hubbub? Can my fellow Seattle clown really think "New Atheism" can compare to the orgy of christian media and literature in volume?
No, I say it's a worthy fight. The voice of reason should have equal time. Keep talking about god :-)

I often hear that it's "impossible" to change a believers mind, but I know it isn't true since I was once a fundamentalist, born-again believer. I do admit that although many atheists use good arguments for atheism and against particular religions, their view of religion is that of an outsider's, and because they lack the experience of really believing the stuff, their arguments don't always hit home. That doesn't mean they don't have very good points, it's just that "natural" atheists and Christians don't reach their worldviews in the same way.
I live in Sweden, which I'm sure you know is one of the most non-religous countries in the world, but paradoxically a lot of people here don't understand the point in attacking religous dogma. It's because they never had to deal with religion in their own lives, the confusion and dissonance and all the warped ideals that come from it. This naivety in turn leaves our society vulnerable to islamism. So I think we all need to press on and keep pushing back religion into the corner where it belongs. Some of us push for the positive values of humanism, or the need for a secular society, but I don't think we can get past the core question of "god". Just like the columnist said, this debate has been going on for 2000 years, and that is why it needs to keep going! When it comes to the tenets of actual religions, the debate is not insolvable. I am positive a lot of people can change their minds, and do.
I think attacking religion will indeed radicalize the faithful, and in the end that is a good thing. That will make them more marginalized by society in general, and the sharp contrast between the religous and the non-religious will encourage doubters like me to step out of religion and reclaim their lives.

Well said James B.
I was raised a Catholic in a rather liberal area for which, in hind sight, I am very grateful. In my adult life I have witnessed acquaintances and a very dear friend of mine tormented in the occult that is fundamentalist Christianity. I truly feel bad for the people and children who grow up under this suffocating belief system. In the future humanity will wonder how people could still believe in these silly things in the 21st century.

"If they simply don't believe in God, why devote so much effort in attempting to show that God does not exist?"
"Why are so many atheists seemingly obsessed with formulating arguments against the existence of God? Why are they so infatuated with the non-existence of God? Is nothing sacred to them?"
Surely this columnist must be asserting that folks faith beliefs actually have absolutely no effect on other people not willingly still involved in them.
From this false assertion it seems he then tries suggesting there then is absolutely no good reason why people should have need to continue discussing such matters.
The man maybe is oblivious to many things still happening in this world today still revolving around religion and faith beliefs.
Such as this http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2009/07/16/hearstmagfamily322632.DTL
Keeping in mind also things that DID happen in the past such as this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown
The fact that this guy doesnt see any problem with faith beliefs,is good reason these things need to still be discussed much further yet.
Man the more these people seem so uncaring of such matters the more i realize how morally bankrupt the faith system in general really is.

But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.- Paul
And thereupon I concluded, as for Christianity being discussed today in the public spheres, for good or for bad, so many people are coming to Christ and for that, I rejoice.
You do not see such kind of a thing (intense discussion about God) where Christianity is dead, as is the case in Europe. You see that kind of a thing in US, where Christianity is a hot cake and a country which is blessed by God to serve as the largest base in the world for international Christian missions to spread the gospel.
While it is apparent that so many Christians have lost their faith, but I'm convinced also that Christianity has added in its side so many atheists as consequences of these debates.

I can respect Kris's point of view, which is as he said, one way of looking at it. I'm fine with people believing in a god, such as a deist one, where there is no belief that God ever communicated or revealed himself to man. Such a belief along with agnosticism and other non-theistic or liberal theistic positions would help to decrease the need to argue or debunk certain views about God. Views that brings forth hatred against another man, woman, church, religion, country, etc., all because of what they think God revealed to them.
We are also mere human beings who are ignorant of our own existence, life, and this complex brain/mind we have. Most of us are being taught things from childhood about God and religion that the teacher is not aware they are ignorant and wrong about. This happens generation after generation, and will happen in the next. Only few will come out of the ignorance, but when they do, some will be disown, killed, called the devil, disliked, and looked down on.
That alleged statement from Einstein "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results", can be use against theists also (depending on context) in that they pray "over and over again and expecting different results".
In any case, atheist and non-theist cannot stop talking about God until all the dangerous belief that comes with it is at least at it's minimum.

Why would atheists and anti-theists continue to use the same methods when debating with theists, without ever suspecting that belief in God is not the type of thing that requires any evidence?
Aha, the same boring methods as "give me the evidence of Zeus and I'll give you the evidence of God". And the asinine one "the onus of proof is for those who say God exist" but the stupidest is that religion is a roadblock to scientific achievements and so on and so forth.
But isn't God without even one evidence? In fact there are plenty of them and some of the clever skeptics understand this and that's why these kind of skeptics usually subscribe to Deism. When I get to meet any skeptic or an atheist who staunchly deny the existance of God altogether, immediately I suspect he/she has got a very low IQ or a wussy. Stupid is an understatement to these kind of people.
And to the evidence of Christian God: Christianity teaches that God is of spiritual essences. God is Love, Power, Peace, Life, Intellect, Wisdom, Prsence, etc,. By reading the bible you'll know what God is and what God isn't. Dear skeptics, these essences of God - or God - cannot be detected or proven scientifically. There are two ways of proving or detecting the presence of God. One is to see the product of these essences of God, e.g. the product of God's Intellect in creation or God's Power when parting the Red Sea. The second way of detecting and understanding God is when ALL these essences of God are ALL incarnated in human form and thus to know who God is really is. If by chance you happen to meet a guy walking on top of the water, raising the dead, loving his enemies, solving impossible puzzles and having peace in stormy times, you bet this guy is a product of God or Son of God.

Edson said, "When I get to meet any skeptic or an atheist who staunchly deny the existance of God altogether, immediately I suspect he/she has got a very low IQ or a wussy. Stupid is an understatement to these kind of people."
So if that is the case, how can God blame them for not believing in him?
In addition to what I was saying, I personally would like to stop talking about God, but people keep talking to me about him. Why don't you believe God? Why aren't you a Christian anymore? Aren't you afraid of hell? And my favorite, what happen!? Did something tragic happen in your life? If people would leave me alone that would help.
Also I really hate that belief in and about God causes so much unnecessary segregation.
Edson, I noticed on the thread "Advice to people who leave the fold", you referred to the gentleman's fear of telling his family about his doubts as "unnecessary paranoia." Obviously you haven't experience or understand what is like to be frowned upon when you tell some people you no longer believe in Jesus. Most of my extended family has no clue of my beliefs, partly b/c they would not understand and partly for fear of conflict and disappointments.
Another reason why we have to talk about God is to educate and help people who need it. I'm currently reading Jesus Interrupted by Bart Ehrman, (Great book, highly recommended) in which he talks about all the stuff that scholars have known now for centuries that is not preached at the pulpit. Most believers have no knowledge of these things, and I think it should be made known to them. And these are the same people that I have to deal with in my day to day life, that thinks they know about God and the bible.
It's because of so much ignorance and nonsense coming from these God revealed religion why we are talking about him still. And it will continue as people are still sending there kids to church where their minds get confused with all sorts of beliefs. Then they grow up telling others about God, that their God said this and that, and if you don't believe this and that, then this is what will happen to you. This of course will give non-believers something to talk about.

There will always be believers who make their decisions and base their actions on their belief in their god. This becomes a problem when those decisions and actions influence and affect other human beings, as all too often happens. Just because there is not, and may never be a concensus conclusion about the existence of a god, does not mean that, objectively, such a being exists or not. By ignoring the topic, you are only giving up the pursuit of truth, which, in my opinion, is the noblest pursuit of all.

Why is it asinine to require evidence for a positive claim? This is true for all areas of life, including religion. If a theist/deist makes the claim their deity exists, they must provide evidence what they say is true.
I'm a little confused when you say the following:
Dear skeptics, these essences of God - or God - cannot be detected or proven scientifically.
Followed by:
There are two ways of proving or detecting the presence of God.
If you can detect the presence of a god, why can't the scientific method? After all, all science is is observation, prediction, evidence, review, testing and the best explanation for the occurrence.
- July 25, 2009 at 9:53 PM
- edson said...
Sorry, I do realize now that I confused you when I wrote that the essences of God cannot be proved scientifically and yet say that there are some methods of which these can be detected. Again, I'm really sorry.
What I really wanted to put forward is that while currently there are no standard scientific equipment or method to evaluate a separate abstract attribute such as, say, Love, but it does not mean that Love does not exist. The only way you can understand Love is when a person incarnated with Love shows the character of love, and you know it well that all human beings have some amount of love for your familly loves you, you love your spouse, etc. But God is absolute Love as is absolute Life as is absolute Intellect as is...read the Bible. But how do we know it? We cannot detect or know them when they are out of human form, but guess what, if it happens for a human to posses absolute Life, perfect Love, incomprehensible Intellect, or anything desirabe but superior in the absolute sense - that one will not be only a human but also God. There have been one human in history with these descriptions and for me this is the single most important evidence of the existance of God. And for anyone who trust in the Bible as to be the historical document, for that matter.
I hope I have tried to explain as unequivocally as I can to remove the confusion.

After you have read my reply above, I'd love now answer your question of why I find it asinine for anyone to ask a clear thing as for the existance of God.
I find it asinine because to say that God does not exist is equivalent as to say nothing exist, which is not. So if anyone says boldly "God does not exist" he/she is a jerky fool. Period.
I'll not call anyone a fool if he/she says a Christian God does not exist. It's just that a person has yet to be revealed of this and as far as I'm concerned there is no hurry about this. If anyone is not privileged to know Christ in this life, at the renewal of all things he/she will know him.

I think the author of the article overstated the extent to which athiests are voicing their opposition to belief in God. To some extent, perhpas it is a clever tactic by a theist to silence the opposition. If indeed the author is an atheist, then he should advocate an empirical study rather than his opinion on what he thinks the outcome of these efforts are. Like the author of this article, Edson's claim that the debate is creating more theists is equally andecdotal, rather than an empirically derived conclusion.
I would advocate a study that has both a control and expirimental group, where the sample is randomly selected and assigned, where the individuals are asked to participate in a series of classes that debate and/or study these various theological and philisophical issues. Testing could be completed pre and post intervention and outcomes determined and compared with the control.

Maybe you could go tell all the likes of the jonestown people who actually read the same bible.And all the other christian bible reading people worldwide that strangely somehow have managed to get this so easy to understand bible that you suggest,so easily wrong.Causing so much hurt and nasty outcomes in the process.These people read the bible themselves also,but your suggestion is a very false one because this obviously didnt actually happen to them "By reading the bible you'll know what God is and what God isn't"
Trouble is edson while you conveniently highlight all the lovely parts like love power peace and light etc,you quite conveniently turn a blind eye to the bad parts as well.The harsh parts that obviously do end up leading some of these christian bible readers to do some of the nasty things they (actually do end up doing).
Maybe you might personally feel many people committing suicide in jonestown is wisdom,but many others of us dont

Product Test: Rock It 3.0
Today, we are checking out a product called the Rock It 3.0. We bought it at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $19.99. The promise is that the product can turn anything into a speaker.
Our tester, Stephanie thought it was a pretty crazy promise, but agreed to try it out. All you have to do is attach the product to your iPhone or iPod and then hook the other end -- called the vibration head -- up to anything. Yep, anything.
Stephanie did this and it worked. It seriously did. Basically, a bowl became a speaker. The wall became a speaker. The table became a speaker. You get the idea. Our tester loved this idea and gave the product two thumbs up.

BARTON-Three runs scored in the third inning was all of the offense the 12-U Cal Ripken District Championship baseball game would see, as Lake Region defeated their neighbors to the north, North Country, 3-0 to pick up the win and take home the hardware.
"I thought it was a really good effort and our pitching was outstanding," said LR coach Rick Hudson.
Said NC coach Mike LaCourse, "I thought it was a huge improvement from the last time we played them. Our boys really came around and started battling hard, but we just ran out of time."
For the full story, see the Express on 7-1-14.
BURLINGTON–The official conclusion to the 2013-2014 Vermont high school hockey season came on Saturday evening at the Make-A-Wish All-Star Game between the top seniors from Vermont and New Hampshire at UVM's historic Gutterson Field House.
The two games featured a total of five players from Orleans County.
Corrina Cota and Meghan Martin skated in the girl's game, and the trio of Ross DeLaBruere, Nate Marsh and Ryan Paul in the boy's.
It turned out to be a wonderful showing for our area athletes, as they tallied three goals and four assists between the five of them.
North Country golfer Katie Goulet competed in the New England Girls Golf Championship at the Bretwood Golf Course in Keene NH on Monday. She scored an 84 for the day, going 39 and 45. She reported she had a number of birdie opportunities, but had to settle for pars. The second nine provided her with more sand shots than she wanted. Over 60 girls representing six New England states competed for the title, which was won with a score of 72. Katie's score placed her in the top 20 players. Katie has had a great freshman year and looks forward to next season.
NEWPORT–Newport City and Derby squared off on Monday night for the Babe Ruth 12-U Softball League Championship in Gardner Park, and with a 5-run outpouring in the bottom of the 6th inning, Newport City was able to wake away with a 7-3 win and the championship trophy.
"The girls take three to four innings to get going, it has been an on-going thing all year, but they usually come out late in the game to prevail," said NC coach Eric Cotnoir.
MONTPELIER VT-- The OEC Kings won game one of their double header at Montpelier High School against Post #3 by a score of 12-0 in five innings.
Danville's Brett Elliott picked up the win, going four innings and allowing three hits. Saint Johnsbury's Chris Connolly pitched a scoreless fifth inning to close things out.
On offense for the Kings, Lyndon's Davis Guyer went 2 for 3 with a double and triple while driving in four runs. North Country's Wyatt Prue doubled, drove in two runs, and scored three times.
NEWPORT–With North Country's graduation having come and gone, many students will head off to college or to work when the next school year rolls around.
However, Ryan Paul will be taking a different path, much like his teammate Ross DeLaBruere, he will be heading off to play junior hockey.
Paul was signed this spring by the Boston Junior Bruins of the USPHL.
"It feels great," said Paul on the signing. "People have been telling me for years that I could, and to just be able to play at the next level and live the dream is amazing."
NEWPORT–If you are a regular reader of these pages, or a steady golfer at the Newport Country Club, then you are no doubt familiar with the name Katie Goulet.
Katie is a freshman, soon to be a sophomore, at North Country Union High School, and she is about to wrap up what has been a fantastic rookie campaign at the high school golf level.
The 15 year-old Derby resident placed 3rd in Division I, and this just been updated, 4th overall in the state of Vermont at the State Tournament, which qualified her for the New England Golf Championships to be held at on June 23rd in Keene, NH.
BURLINGTON-Division One's best and brightest track and field stars were at Burlington High School on Saturday to take part in the State Meet on what turned out to be a beautiful summer day.
The North Country Falcons sent over thirteen competitors to the meet, including senior Jenna Moss, who opted to compete at the event instead of take part in her graduation ceremony.
Division III Meet
CHESTER-The Division III Vermont State Track Meet was held at Green Mountain High School on Saturday, and the Lake Region Rangers were there representing Orleans County in fine fashion.
The girls relay teams were on fire on Saturday, as Tyrah Urie, Haley Kennedy Karamae Hayman-Jones and Emily Close teamed up to win the girls 4x400 with a time of 4:26.24.
Urie and Hayman-Jones picked up another blue ribbon when, along with Averill Snyder and Karina Cimborova, won the 4x100 in 54.24 seconds.
LYNDON–Lake Region's Matt Messier and Lyndon Institute's Davis Guyer engaged in a lengthy pitcher's duel on Friday, and in the end it would be the senior Guyer winning the battle, leading his team to a 4-1 win over the Rangers in the Division II baseball quarter-finals.

The Cost of Long-Term Care
Long-term care can be expensive. The cost depends on the amount and type of care you need and where you receive it. Most long-term care costs are paid by Medicaid, a federal-state assistance program for people who qualify. People with low incomes may already qualify for Medicaid, and those with moderate incomes may be able to "spend down" their assets to qualify.

|More Winter Headed Our Way
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 28 December 2012 09:06
Just as all power has been restored to BREMCO customers, Mountain Electric areas, and for New River Light and Power's Boone customers, there's another round of wintry weather on the horizon for tonight and into Saturday. Crews restored downed power lines while the DOT
and fire departments across the High Country cleared downed trees that blocked roads as winds finally subsided yesterday. But the next round of weather is more icy, with the National Weather Service saying that today's short break in the weather will be followed by sleet and snow tonight, with the possibility of freezing rain after midnight. The forecast calls for a trace of ice, but it could be just the right combination, added to the inch or so of snow and sleet to make for treacherous travel tomorrow morning. The combination is predicted to turn to all rain by Saturday afternoon as temperatures reach 40. The wind element missing from the weather warning still calls for 15 to 20 mile per hour winds with gusts to 35. The system turns back to snow for Saturday night, as temps drop into the lower 20's, and with that, wind gusts to 45 will drop wind chill values to about 7 degrees. The last day of 2012 should be rather quiet weather wise, but New Year's Day might see more snow just as revelers are returning home.

Gold sales hit new highs. The U.S. Mint reports that sales of American Eagles, the popular gold coins it produces, exploded in November, hitting their highest level in more than two years. The Royal Canadian Mint says that sales of the gold Maple Leaf were also up dramatically last month. I don't think it's a coincidence that this follows on the heels of Barack Obama's re-election. Do you?
Who will be the new secretary of state? It looks like there won't be any nasty confirmation hearings for Susan Rice, our embattled ambassador to the United Nations. She has asked President Barack Obama to remove her name from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. That means that Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, now becomes the leading candidate for the post. If Kerry does get the nomination, I wonder if anyone from the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth will be asked to testify at his hearings. Remember how they torpedoed Kerry's campaign for the Presidency in 2004?
Thank you, Jim DeMint. One of the staunchest conservatives in the Senate, Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), announced that he is resigning his post at the end of the year to become the president of the Heritage Foundation, the influential Washington-based think tank. DeMint and the Senate Conservatives Fund which he founded were early supporters of such anti-establishment candidates as Rand Paul in Kentucky, Ted Cruz in Texas, Mike Lee in Utah, Marco Rubio in Florida and Jeff Flake in Arizona. Thanks for a great job, Jim! Let's hope that Erick Erickson, editor of RedState.com, was correct in saying the change means that "Jim DeMint's power in the conservative movement just grew exponentially."
DeMint's noteworthy successor. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has named Representative Tim Scott to replace DeMint. Scott, an outspoken conservative and Tea Party favorite, will be the first black Senator from the South since Reconstruction. In fact, he will be the only black Senator in the new Congress. He will serve until 2014, when there will be a special election for the seat.

|Video Leads to Arrests in Tanger, Wilco Thefts
|Written by BRPD Release
|Monday, 12 November 2012 20:50
Pictures from a video surveillance camera and tips to Crime Stoppers lead to the arrest of one larceny suspect. On 10/28/12 an employee of Rack Room Shoes reported that her cell phone had been stolen from the employee area at Rack Room. Surveillance footage showed a white male
entering the back room and leave with the employees cell phone. Within hours of the image of the suspect appearing in our local media outlets last week, 5 tips came into High Country Crime Stoppers identifying the suspect as James Bridges Blanchard, age 38, of Boone. As a result Lieutenant Angel Mahaffey was able to recover the stolen phone (which had been sold) and secure a warrant for Blanchard's arrest. Blanchard was arrested and has a court date scheduled for 12/20/12.
Another larceny reported at Wilco Hess November 1st has also been cleared by arrest with the aid of video surveillance. Teresa Wendy Shinn of Lenoir was identified as the suspect in this Larceny after returning to the store on Thursday night. The clerk recognized the woman as the suspect and called police. Chief Brown and Officer Deyton Turping were able to stop the vehicle shortly after it left the store. Shinn was in the vehicle and the officers were able to positively identify her as the suspect in the surveillance video. Shinn was arrested on a warrant for the larceny later in Lenoir. She was released on a unsecured bond and is awaiting trial.

Following Wednesday's 4.1 magnitude earthquake northwest of Orangeville, the Emery County Sheriff's office has issued a press release indicating that emergency response teams contacted local mines and power plans and were advised that there were no reports of damage at any of the facilities.
The press release also indicated that personnel from the sheriff's office and the Emery Water Conservancy District also checked a number of dams in the area, including those at Joes Valley Reservoir, Millsite Reservoir west of Ferron, and one located near Huntington Canyon.
According to a report by the University of Utah seismology department, the 'light' earthquake's epicenter was located about six miles northwest of the town of Orangeville.

Last Thursday, the 7th District Court sentenced the former pastor of a Helper church charged with sexually victimizing children to nine terms in the Utah State Prison.
The 32-year-old defendant, Rene Anthony Gomez, appeared in the custody of the Carbon County Sheriff's Office at the Nov. 5 sentencing phase in the felony level criminal complaint.
On Sept. 3, Gomez waived the right to trial in the felony level criminal case and the former pastor pleaded guilty to nine separate first degree felony level counts - eight sodomy on a child charges and one aggravated sexual abuse of a child offense.
In exchange for the nine guilty pleas, the court granted a joint prosecution-defense motion and dismissed the 11 remaining first degree counts contained in the complaint filed against Gomez.
Presiding on the district court bench at the Nov. 5 criminal proceeding in the child sexual abuse complaint, Judge Bryce K. Bryner sentenced Gomez to eight concurrent 10-year to life and one consecutive five-year to life terms in the state prison.
The court ordered immediate execution of the indeterminate incarceration periods and remanded the defendant back into the custody of the Carbon County Sheriff's Office for transport to the state correctional facility for imprisonment.
Carbon County Attorney Gene Strate acted on behalf of the state prosecutor's office during the court hearing and public defender David Allred represented the East Carbon resident at the Nov. 5 criminal proceeding
Local law enforcement authorities arrested the former pastor on June 28 and, at Gomez' initial court appearance on July 26, Judge Bryner ordered the defendant detained at the county jail without bail.
On Aug. 7, the East Carbon resident waived the right to a preliminary hearing in the criminal complaint and the district court bound the former pastor over to answer the 20 first degree counts at felony arraignment in the case.
Dated July 23, the original felony level criminal information filed against the defendant contended that Gomez committed the first degree offenses against multiple young victims from October 2000 through June 2002.
The formal criminal complaint charged Gomez with eight first degree aggravated sexual abuse of a child counts along with 12 sodomy on a child felony level offenses.
The felony level criminal case identified the alleged victims as children younger than the age of 14 years old when the incidents purportedly occurred.
In connection with the aggravated abuse charges, the criminal information argued that the defendant occupied a position of special trust when the former pastor allegedly took indecent liberties not amounting to rape or caused the children to engage in acts designed to arouse or gratify sexual desires.
Due to the fact that the aggravated sexual abuse and sodomy charges involved several minors, the felony level complaint identified the alleged victims by initials rather than listing the names of the children.

BRASHER CENTER - Fans of the Star Wars franchise, old super hero TV shows, or those just looking for a stroll down memory lane are some of the possible bidders that will be represented in a vintage toy auction today in Brasher Center.
The majority of items up for bid are from a childhood collection of an Albany man, and the auction will take place at the River Rock Auctions auction hall on Munson Road.
A gentleman out of Albany decided to sell his collection. He decided that they wouldnt be something his kids would be interested in. They are not toys you want to play with. He said he could sell them and use the money for his childrens school funds later, River Rock Auctions owner Arno Lippassaar said.
Interested buyers were invited for a sneak peek at the various toys Friday night, and the auction itself begins at 10 a.m. today.
(There are) a lot of the early Star Wars action figures from the 70s and early 80s and then they also go through the 90s. Most of the (items) that we have are in their original packaging so that makes them more valuable. Its the same with the GI Joes. We do have an original mid-70s GI Joe talking doll, Mr. Lippassaar said. We did get some 10 cent comics from other places, such as really early Superman and Batman ones and also Green Lantern number one. We have thousands of comics.
On top of that we have a small collection of Star Trek toys. There are the ceramic figures. We have some signed artwork from Star Trek and autographed photos from Williams Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.
The items will also include Hot Wheels cars, Tonka Trucks and super hero cookie jars. In addition, for those still reminiscing about the days of Mickey Mantle, Fran Tarkenton and Walt Frazier, a small sports card collection will also be available.
Mr. Lippassaar explained that he could not project an exact range for how much the items might fetch. Its hard to say a price range, but we probably have about 400 to 500 items. With this market, we dont know what they will go for, he said,
The owner, who has run the auction hall with his wife, son and two stepsons for 2 1/2 years, lives in Louisville. He said that while the event brings a lot of out-of-towners, St. Lawrence County also has its fair share of vintage toy collectors.
Theres a lot of interest. We take absentee bids from out of the area, and weve been getting phone calls from across the country in Missouri, Arizona and also New York City from people who are interested, Mr. Lippassaar said. When we have this auction we always have a loyal fan base in this area too. Were definitely trying to put Brasher on the map in the north country.
The auction hall is currently expanding, and the owner said that it is in part due to the buyers. Weve been very humbled by how well the people treat us around here, he said.
With Christmas and Hanukkah fast approaching, Mr. Lippassaar said the timing of the vintage toy auction was no coincidence.
I knew about the toys for the past few months but thought it was smarter to hold the auction now. I think it is hard to shop for older people. To buy something from somebodys past, it brings back a lot of memories for people. It is a special, unique gift and gets people in the Christmas spirit, he said. People tell me, I used to have so and so, and I tell them, You can own it again.

Editor's Note: This is a free edition of The Technical Indicator, a daily Dow Jones subscriber newsletter. To get this column, including 100 technical stock picks every month, click here.
CINCINNATI (MarketWatch) — The major U.S. benchmarks are one day removed from their worst single-day downdraft since November.
And notably, this week's downturn has been driven by 9-to-1 negative breadth on the NYSE, raising an added technical caution flag.
Before detailing the U.S. markets' wider view, the S&P 500's hourly chart highlights the past two weeks.
As illustrated, the S&P has plunged to one-month lows.
Initial resistance now holds at 1,497 (last week's low) and is followed by more significant overhead at 1,515.
Technically, a close atop 1,515 would neutralize last week's downdraft.
Meanwhile, the Dow industrials' near-term view is equally shaky.
Consider that the blue-chip benchmark briefly notched five-year highs in Monday's action, before reversing sharply to one-month lows.
Notable resistance now spans from 13,920 to 13,944, matching the Dow's breakdown point.
And not surprisingly, the Nasdaq Composite's near-term backdrop remains bearish.
Consider that the index has failed a test of its breakdown point — around Nasdaq 3,182 — and this area remains a technical hurdle.
Widening the view to six months adds perspective.
On this wider view, the Nasdaq is on shaky technical footing.
Consider that it's staged a false break to 12-year highs, and the subsequent downdraft has been nearly immediate, and directionally sharp.
Moving to the Dow, the blue-chip benchmark has edged to one-month lows.
Viewed in isolation, its relative strength is constructive, though weakness elsewhere remains a near-term concern.
And the S&P 500 has also reversed from five-year highs.
Two downside support points stand out:
- The S&P's 50-day moving average, currently 1,478.
- The S&P's breakout point, the 2012 peak of 1,474.
Technically, the first retest of this area — if the index drops this far — would be expected to draw buyers.
The bigger picture
The major U.S. stock benchmarks have just staged their worst single-day downdraft since November.
And notably, the downturn was driven by 9-to-1 negative breadth on the NYSE.
This marks the S&P's second 9-to1 downdraft across a four-session window, raising a technical caution flag.
Against this backdrop, the Volatility Index has taken flight.
Specifically, the VIX spiked 34% in Monday's action, an off-the-charts, single-session, reading.
Though a volatility spike on this order is typically a terminal event — for the very near-term — its swift reversal raises an raises an incremental caution flag. (See last week's review.)

Chemical makers continue to post weak earnings
March 18, 2013 | —Lindsay Frost and Vincent Valk
Chemical makers that reported earnings last week posted results that were generally lower. Kronos was hit by weak titanium dioxide (TiO2) markets, while KMG Chemicals saw demand for semiconductor customers decline. Quaker Chemical, however, saw earnings rise as raw material costs stabilized. Kronos reports a net loss for the fourth quarter due to weakness in TiO2. The company reports a loss of $18.1 million (16 cts/share) for the quarter—down from an $85.5 million gain in fourth-quarter 2011. Net sales of $396.8 million dropped 9% year-on-year (YOY) because...

Price officials have changed the city's utilities disconnect policy.
Discussing the new policy, Mayor Joe Piccolo assured Price residents that, if local consumers should encounter financial problems, city government is willing to work with the individuals to resolve the situations.
"We can work with residents on alternative sources or payments that are available, such as heat programs," indicated the Price mayor.
"The last thing we want to do is to create more problems for our citizens," added Piccolo.
At the last city council meeting, the new disconnect policy was outlined by a committee.
The guidelines recently adopted by city officials include:
The first billing cycle will be moved from the 15th of the month to the 20th.
The due date for the first billing cycle has been extended from 10 to 15 days for customers who are on a fixed income and receive checks or money at the first of the month.
The second billing cycle will continue to be billed on the last working day of the month.
The due date for the second billing cycle will also be extended five days, also giving the customers 15 days to pay.
The Price city mayor and council members wanted to find a way to help the community members stay current on payments for utilities.
In order to achieve the objective, the officials formed a committee to review the city's existing utilities disconnect policy.
The committee membership consisted of the mayor, Price council members, utility department personnel, the city attorney and the municipality's community director.
When the old utilities policy was still in place, Price city utility customers were disconnected for nonpayment, making it more difficult for the services to be restored.
The customers would owe two months of bills before the utilities would be shut off. And a third utility bill was on its way to the residents.
According to the mayor, here will no longer be a 48-hour "door-hanging" second notice to remind customers to pay delinquent utility bills.
"It was really hard for most of the customers to pay to get their services turned back on, once their services were disconnected," pointed out Piccolo.
But with the new policy in place, the customer will have to pay as much to get service turned back on if disconnected for nonpayment.
City officials are also encouraging customers to take advantage of the direct pay program, which comes out of checking or savings accounts automatically.
People who need to discuss problems with officials should contact Heather Wichmann at 637-3197 to make arrangements.
"Our goal is for Price city residents to benefit from the services we provide. This will help decrease Price city's debts that are not collectible which, in turn, will help provide necessary services for Price city residents," concluded Piccolo.

Revisit your childhood fondness for animals! The Create a Critter cartridge is filled with cute images of animals such as dinosaurs, kittens, insects, and more. Each animal comes with a layered accessory ranging from a sandcastle to a ball of yarn to a doghouse. Use the latest Cricut® cartridges to create unique and engaging designs for every o.....
Click here to read product details
This is one of my favorite go to carts. I really love how easy the layering is - for the majority of the images, there are not any tiny parts that get lost. There are so many different animals on this cartridge, you'll have trouble deciding which one to pick first. If you're into cutesy and whimsical this cart is a must have.
I adore this cartridge, not just because the critters are the cutest that Provo Craft has created yet. But because they are SO easy to put together and layer. The end result is great and has a more advanced paper piecing look but is SO easy to do. Love it you will NOT be sorry buying this cart. The extra sayings are so cute as well.
I love this cart. It provides layering without a lot of cuts. My 9 year old nephew is able to use the cart on his own. Great cart to have in your collection
I adore this cartridge. It is my go-to cartridge whenever I have to make anything for my nieces and nephews from age 4 - 17! Emboss them with a Cuttlebug die and watch them come to life!
Probably one of my favorite cartridges, it has a ton a features and I think it makes the cutest cards and scrapbook pages!
The best cartridge. So easy and wicked cute!
I ordered this cartridge thinking that it was going to be cute and fun. What I didn't know is that I would fall 100% in love with it! These critters are adorable, look great, and are so easy to create. They are easy to layer and look fantastic when finished! I recommend this cartridge to everyone!
I love this cart. I used it to decorate an old dresser that I painted for a new grand daughter. It came out wonderful. I highly recommend this cartridge.
Never knew what I was missing till free week for this cart! It is a must have! The ideas are endless!
I just love the variety of critters and coordinating accessories. Great for making cards, scrapbook layouts and so much more. I also own Create a Critter 2, which has critters for the various holidays andseasons, and both cartridges are worth owning in my opinion. Create a Critter is a great "anytime" cartridge.
It's amazing.
I used this cartridge like crazy for my son's 1st birthday (safari themed). The animals are super cute, but still realistic looking. The layering makes assembly super easy also. So many choices and the accessories that come with it are awesome. This a total complete package!

CANTON Representatives of E.J. Noble Hospital are to appear in state Supreme Court today to seek approval from Judge David R. Demarest for a reorganization plan that will allow the facility to emerge from insolvency and become Gouverneur Hospital.
Petitioners urge the court to grant the relief requested in this petition so that the closing of the asset purchase agreement may occur by Dec. 31 or the face of healthcare in the Gouverneur community is likely to change forever for the worse, the hospitals attorneys argued in court documents filed with the St. Lawrence County clerks office.
The reorganization requires E.J. Noble to have a newly formed parent organization St. Lawrence Health System that would oversee its operations and those of Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam. Canton-Potsdam Hospital manages E.J. Noble.
The plan was put together because E.J. Noble and its affiliated Kinney Nursing Home are in a financial hole and because the state Department of Health was critical of the quality of care.
According to unaudited figures, E.J. Noble had a net operating loss of $4.3 million for the first 10 months of 2013 following operation in the red for many years. The hospital is projecting an operating loss of $900,000 for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Kinney Nursing Home also has financial woes and owed E.J. Noble $2.3 million as of Oct. 31. Its unaudited losses for the first 10 months of 2013 were $239,000. Dissolution of the nursing home has not been recommended by its board.
The plan is for E.J. Noble to buy the assets of Kinney Nursing Home in exchange for its debt. Gouverneur Hospital then will take over the assets of E.J. Noble.
E.J. Noble has been shored up by cash advances of $300,000 and $200,000 in January and August from Canton-Potsdam, a $5.3 million loan from the state Dormitory Authority and a $9.3 million state Healthcare Efficiency and Affordability Law grant that repaid the Dormitory Authority $3.8 million. The National Automatic Sprinkler Pension Fund, which holds the bonds on the hospitals recent expansion project, received $4 million from the HEAL grant for partial payment of E.J. Nobles obligations. The remainder of the $1.5 million HEAL money went toward E.J. Nobles fourth quarter operating shortfalls.
As of Oct. 1, the principal on the bonds was nearly $11 million, with interest due of $333,225. In addition to the HEAL money, the pension fund received debt service reserve funds of nearly $1 million, reducing the principal to $6.3 million.
Canton-Potsdam will assign its interest in the asset purchase agreement to Gouverneur Hospital, which was incorporated Dec. 5.
As part of the reorganization, the pension fund will receive a base price of $2.5 million plus an amount up to $2.3 million to be determined by the asset purchase agreement. The hospital also may request it be allowed to give the pension fund $943,000 of restricted donor funds, although alternatives are being sought.
Other secured claims, including a $100,000 line of credit with Gouverneur Savings & Loan Association, and equipment leases also will be settled by the reorganization.
The hospital will have $396,000 available for E.J. Nobles unsecured creditors, which are numerous. The distribution will be determined later by the court.
St. Lawrence Health is expected to lend Gouverneur Hospital up to $5 million to make it operational, with payback over the next 20 years.

Civil War game spans more than a century
While this season's Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State has been called the biggest game in the rivalry's history, there have been plenty of significant - and just plain strange - Civil Wars in the past.
Case in point: 1983's "Toilet Bowl," a 0-0 rain-drenched exercise in futility.
There will be no such drudgery this year: A Rose Bowl bid is at stake when the No. 7 Ducks (9-2, 7-1) host the No. 13 Beavers (8-3, 6-2) on Thursday night.
Last season, Oregon State could have gone to the Rose Bowl, but Oregon came up the road to Reser Stadium and routed the Beavers 65-38.
"I think it gives us a mental edge to know that we put up that many points last year and I think as a team, as an offense, we're playing right now better than we were in that game last year," Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli said this week.
Before that, the Rose Bowl hadn't been so directly attainable through a Civil War game since the 2000 season, when the No. 8
Beavers denied the fifth-ranked Ducks a trip to Pasadena with a 23-13 victory. Joey Harrington threw five interceptions in the game and cried in the aftermath.
The rivalry started in 1894, when Oregon State - then Oregon Agricultural College - won 16-0.
A photographic card commemorating the 1908 Oregon Agricultural College vs. University of Oregon football game, which was played at Multnomah Field in Portland, Oregon, on November 21, 1908. The card combines photographs of the two team captains, Wolff (OAC) and Moullen (UO), with a black-and-white sketch of two co-eds in broad hats with big veils that tie under their chins. Between the girls is a goal-post, with a football flying through. The streamers and pennant surrounding the OAC girl are orange; those around the "Oregon" girl are yellow. The identities of the men and the event are printed on the card. Both men wear football uniforms and hold a football under one arm. 1908 was the last year that the "Civil War" game was played in Portland. OAC later became Oregon State University. The team was coached in 1908 by Robert. W. Forbes. (Historic photo courtesy University of Oregon Libraries)
Here's a look at some of the most memorable Civil War games, from past to present:
Nov. 25, 1916 - Oregon 27, Oregon Agricultural College 0. The win gave the Ducks a 6-0-1 regular-season record and sent them to their first Rose Bowl, where they defeated Penn 14-0.
Nov. 11, 1933 - Oregon 13, Oregon State 3. Oregon State's Ironmen and Oregon were undefeated heading into the game at Portland's Multnomah Stadium. The game is notable because of the so-called "pyramid play," an extra-point attempt by Oregon that was blocked by Clyde Devine, who was lifted off the field by his teammates. The play was soon banned by the NCAA.
Nov. 21, 1953 - Oregon State 7, Oregon 0. The Beavers stunned the Hayward Field crowd when Oregon quarterback Barney Holland's pass bounced off the hands of George Shaw - the first pick of the 1955 NFL draft by the Baltimore Colts - and was intercepted by Oregon State's Tommy Little. He returned it 30 yards for the only touchdown.
Nov. 23, 1957 - Oregon State 10, Oregon 7. On fourth-and-goal from the Oregon State 1, the Ducks decided against a potential tying field goal and went for the touchdown. Halfback Jim Shanley was headed for the end zone when Nub Beamer, who had been blocked to the ground, reached up just as Shanley was about to cross the goal line and caused a fumble.
Nov. 24, 1962 - Oregon State 20, Oregon 17. The Beavers and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Terry Baker trailed 17-6 at halftime, but dominated the second half. Baker's 13-yard touchdown pass to Danny Espalin in the fourth quarter sealed it.
A photograph which has been printed in green on buff textured paper to make a Christmas card. The photograph shows a group of football players carrying Len Casanova on their shoulders on a football field at the conclusion of a game. Their uniforms are stained and muddy. Casanova is smiling broadly. Superimposed on the lower half of the photo is a label with holly on the left and the UO duck on the right. The label reads in three lines "Merry Chrismas -- 1963 / Happy New Year! / Oregon 31 + OSU 14" and refers to a victory in the "Civil War" football game between the University of Oregon and Oregon State University. (Historic images courtesy University of Oregon Libraries)
Nov. 18, 1967 - Oregon State 14, Oregon 10. A week after defeating USC and O.J. Simpson 3-0 in the mud in Corvallis, the Beavers' famous "Giant Killers" came back from a 10-0 deficit to win the first Civil War at the new Autzen Stadium.
Nov. 19, 1983 - Oregon 0, Oregon State 0. The so-called "Toilet Bowl," which featured 11 fumbles, five interceptions and four missed field goals. "It was almost like neither team wanted to win," Oregon coach Rich Brooks was quoted as saying.
Watch KVAL Sports Civil War Flashback on the Toilet Bowl:
Nov. 23, 1991 - Oregon State 14, Oregon 3. Jerry Pettibone got his only win after 10 straight losses in his first season as Beavers coach, when quarterback Ian Shields, playing with a broken big toe, scored on a 6-yard bootleg for the go-ahead touchdown. It was Oregon State's first win in Eugene in 18 years.
Watch KVAL Sports Civil War Flashback on the game:
Nov. 19, 1994 - Oregon 17, Oregon State 13. The Ducks entered the game tied with Southern Cal for the Pac-10 championship and needed a win to clinch their first Rose Bowl berth since 1957. Trailing 13-10, Danny O'Neil drove the team 70 yards, hitting Dino Philyaw for a 19-yard touchdown with 3:47 to play. The Ducks went to Pasadena, where they lost 38-20 to Penn State.
Nov. 21, 1998 - Oregon State 44, Oregon 41, 2OT. The first Civil War to be decided in overtime was won on Ken Simonton's 16-yard touchdown run.
Watch KVAL Sports Civil War Flashback on the game:
Dec. 1, 2007 - Oregon State 38, Oregon 31, 2OT. The Beavers snap a 10-game winning streak for the home team when James Rodgers scores on a fly sweep.

Read: In The Home Stretch
9:48AM: At ESPN.com, Pierre LeBrun writes "Logic dictates a deal will get done, given what little separates both sides. But logic has been benched for long periods of this sordid game."
9:24AM:In a post to twitter, Nick Cotsonika wrote "Now that we're past deadline for 52 games, it would make little difference if they reached a deal today or in a week. And so we wait."
Earlier this morning, Elliotte Friedman wrote at CBC that nothing will get done until the NHL imposed deadline of late next week but that nothing special will be accomplished by the two sides waiting a week to actually make the deal.
Friedman writes "You want to fight each other? Fine. You want to argue passionately for your positions? Fine. Get in a room and do it."

A Study to Test the Pain-Relieving Effect of Laughing Gas in Infants

- How to Read a Study Record
Our proposal is to study infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) who are undergoing a heel stick for blood sampling, a standard procedure in patient care. Currently, these infants do not get any pain relief for this procedure. Several recent clinical studies have shown the usefulness of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for treating pain for minor procedures in children 0 to 18 years, but these effects have not been exclusively studied in the newborn and infant populations. Animal studies have questioned the anti-nociceptive (pain-blocking) effect of nitrous oxide in very young animals. It is unclear if this also applies to humans. The reason for this difference may be due to an immaturity of the neural pathways that modulate pain in the very young. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not nitrous oxide has an analgesic (pain-relieving) effect in infants undergoing minor procedures in the neonatal period (less than 3 months).

Jane Lynch is known for cracking jokes, but the actress took on a somber demeanor as she remembered her late "Glee" costar, Cory Monteith.
On Wednesday, Lynch sat down with Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" where she opened up about the tragic passing of Monteith, and shared how she wants the 31-year-old to be remembered.
Check out the clip above to see an almost teary-eyed Jane share a sweet story about Cory.
Earlier this week, FOX announced that "Glee" will go on despite the show's very sad loss. Lynch is also nominated for a 2013 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance on "Glee."
On Tuesday, officials released Monteith's cause of death which resulted from a lethal combination of heroine and alcohol. Cory had struggled publicly with his addiction issues, and checked into rehab for substance abuse earlier this year.
Even though the TV star's passing was far too soon, it's nice to see his costars share memories of Cory's kind nature.
Will you be tuning for the new season of "Glee"? Tell toofab in the comment section below!

Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It's getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who broke his heart-and now is back in town-to the teenage distraction he's trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn't been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.
