Corporate Social Responsibility
At Dolphin we feel proud to be in a position where we can be socially responsible by just doing our job well. This has always prompted us to try that little bit harder to make things happen.
For Dolphin, Corporate Social Responsibility is about helping people over and above our commercial responsibilities. We have chosen to do this in two ways:
- To improve awareness about alternative formats (for readers who struggle with reading printed text).
- To help to provide low cost assistive technology in Africa and other developing countries.
Alternative Formats
70% of reading material comes in the form of printed text. Just 4% of this reading matter is available in alternative formats, leaving people who have vision or literacy impairments unable to access 96% of printed material. Dolphin, in association with blindness, dyslexia organizations and literacy groups around the world, created an information portal (AltFormat.org) to address the information gaps for these readers, their families, helpers and teachers and those tasked with creating alternative formats.
We are grateful to Rt Hon David Blunkett for his support in this cause.
Subsidized Sales to Africa
Together with the RNIB and Sightsavers, Dolphin is delighted to be able to Support the Sightsavers Dolphin Pen project, supporting sales of subsidized combined screen readers and magnifiers into Africa.

NOOCH 103, Clippers 100
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 04/11/07, 12:59am:
On a night when Elton Brand played one of the best games of his professional career[1] against an undersized Hornets' zone, the Clippers - one of the better defensive rebounding teams in the league - lost the most important game of the season due to their fundamental inability to put bodies on a much smaller NOOCH team.
Ready to assign blame? Here are the three offensive boards that won it for NOOCH in overtime:
- [OT, 2:29] There never should've been a rebound because the Clippers, completely disoriented while setting up their defense, leave Devin Brown all alone at the top of the arc for a wide open 3PA. Best as I can see, Elton decides to drop off David West to double Chris Paul as he penetrates. Corey picks up West at the top of the circle, but who's taking Brown on the perimeter? Mobley can't leave Bobby Jackson in the left corner.
At any rate, Brown misses the 3PA, but upon the release, West darts down the lane untouched by Maggette who's watching the shot. Had the ball gone to the other side, Jackson was completely unchecked by Kaman. West lays it up and in to give NOOCH a three point lead.
There were so many breakdowns on this defensive segment by the Clips that one way or another, NOOCH was going to come away with points.
- [OT, 1:10] The Hornets run a high S/R way up top for Paul. He splits the defenders, then kicks it out to Jackson on the weak side for a 3PA. Mobley closes nicely. West again was set up way up high and, again, he comes barreling down the lane unhindered. It was entirely Chris Kaman's responsibility.
Hornets by seven.
- [OT, 0:36] Up five and inside a minute, NOOCH milks the shot clock down and ends up with a contested, double-teamed 3PA at :01 by Jackson. The rebound bounces left. Tim Thomas was patrolling the weak side glass, but is oblivious to Chris Paul's presence just behind him. Paul snatches the ball, and Brand has to foul.
With Tyson Chandler on the bench for NOOCH, tonight should've been the Lakers game redux, with Kaman and Brand pounding the Hornets in the post. To compensate for their lack of size, NOOCH went with a zone for long stretches. For the most part, the Clippers tried to take advantage of the disparity, and you saw the best results in the fourth quarter when Elton took the game over. With 20:4 seconds remaining in regulation, trailing by two, the Clippers faced their biggest possession of the season. Here's how it went down:
- Hart gets the ball to Mobley way out on the left arc. Elton is fighting for position against West just in front of Cat. The entry pass goes into EB with about :14.5 remaining. Brand looks for Mobley, who has just gotten a man-sized pick from Kaman, up top, but Jackson has recovered. Instead, the second West makes a half-hearted reach for the ball, Elton charges his right-handed dribble into the lane and goes in for a driving slam.
With :09.5 the game is tied.
After a bizarre sequence in which Jess Kersey whistles Jason Hart for a quick foul the instant NOOCH inbounds the ball[2], the Clippers get the ball back down two for their second consecutive biggest possession of the season:
- With no timeouts remaining, Hart races it up for the Clips. He gets it across at about :06, then quickly slings it over to Maggette on the left arc. Maggette dishes it off to Brand at his favorite spot. EB launches it over West for two, and ties the game with a second remaining.
I didn't get a chance to blog the Dallas game, but watching the first half I had one of those sports fan communion moments watching Elton work in the halfcourt with about 7:00 remaining in the first:
Elton has it out on the left wing for a 17-footer against Diop. He's sizing up the shot. It's not a bad one, probably around 50%, but Elton recognizes that, if can give the ball up, then re-post, he can probably have a measurably easier shot. Whatever risk is assumed in passing out to Hart and getting the ball back is more than compensated by the upside of getting the higher percentage shot. Anyway, Elton gets it back out to Jason Hart, who delivers another entry pass to EB - this one at closer range. EB takes the patented faceup shot from about 12 feet instead of 17, and it's good.
I don't expect that kind off basketball to inspire widespread approbation and huge endorsement dollars. Cerebral play and judiciousness aren't things that the public really wants in its power forwards, even if these qualities won Tim Duncan multiple rings. But Elton's shrewdness in the halfcourt is still admirable and, as an asset, has been one of the most important factors in turning this franchise around. Tonight's loss hurt because of its larger implications for the Clips' playoff hopes, but I was most disappointed for Elton because he deserved this one.
Here's what we're looking at:
Clippers (37-40)
Nellyball (38-40)
At Lakers
At Sacramento
At Phoenix
At Portland
The Clippers clinch the tiebreaker with one more victory against a Pacific Division opponent.[3] Figure Golden State goes 3-1 against three teams eliminated from the postseason and another team that's coasting to the (1) seed. That would mean the Clips need to go 4-1 - win all three at home and steal either the Lakers game or hope that PHX will be phoning it in with the (2) seed locked up by next Tuesday.
[1] For all of Elton's talent and menschkeit, he's always had a rap as a guy who can't take over a game down the stretch in the manner befitting an NBA superstar. Tonight, Elton wasn't flawless, but he controlled the game in its crucial minutes when the season was on the line.
[2] Mike Smith contends that Kersey though the Clips had a foul to give and assumed that Hart was using it. According to Smith, Kersey even pointed to the sideline, indicating a non-shooting foul before he realized that NOOCH was in the bonus.
[3] If the Clips don't win another game against divisional opponent, then they won't have to worry about tiebreakers, natch.

Hundreds of paper snowflakes from Jefferson County will soon grace the halls of Sandy Hook Elementary School.
After hearing about the National Parent Teacher Associations project, In Motion School of Dance owner Shereen P. Daly started a Watertown-based collection. The outpouring of community support she received so far has been overwhelming.
The project is in response to the shooting in Newtown, Conn. where 20 children and six adults were slain on Dec. 14.
I just had a vision of this school being filled with snowflakes when the kids came back in January, Mrs. Daly said. I really had no idea this snowflake thing would have went as far as it did. Im proud of our dance families for stepping up and taking this forward.
After informing the families on Dec. 19 about the projects, others jumped on board to help cut out snowflakes. She received seven full boxes from Watertown City School District and held a snowflake-making event at the Italian American Club on Saturday. Stage Notes theater company contributed 100 snowflakes. The Board of Cooperative Educational Servicess Continuing Education Program, Rhondas FootWorks, Sally Ploof Hunter Memorial Library in Black River and Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library have all promised to send snowflakes.
Mrs. Daly plans to sift through the paper projects this weekend and put them up on the dance studios blog. She is not sure how many snowflakes are in the bags and boxes currently at the studio.
Quite easily, there will be hundreds, she said.
Flower Memorial Library has a craft station where children can cut out and decorate snowflakes every day the library is open. Only 20 snowflakes were made by Friday, but the library will have the station out all weekend and Monday.
The snow and the holidays have deferred traffic from the library, said childrens librarian Ashley J. Pickett.
She said the project is an easy way for parents to talk with their children about the project while teaching them how to give back.
Mrs. Daly hopes to ship her first box to Newtown, Conn. on Monday but plans to collect snowflakes until Jan. 8 to make it there by Sandy Hooks first day back after winter break.
To contribute to the project, drop off or mail snowflakes to the dance studio at 19401 NYS Route 3, Watertown, NY 13601.

According to Square Enix, the game's original publisher, Activision, worked hard to get localized versions of Elite released in different territories. The sticking point was that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is available as a dubbed as well as a subtitled game in Japan, complicating the Elite service in the region.
When Modern Warfare 2 was released in Japan, Japanese gamers were furious about the crummy localization. For Modern Warfare 3, Square Enix offered two versions: dubbed or subtitled.
Square Enix did mention that information regarding downloadable content released via Elite will be made in the future.

Incontinence occurs for a variety of reasons. Though not an inevitable part of aging, health issues that occur in both men and women as they get older can be causes of urinary incontinence and lead to conditions like urge incontinence or an overactive bladder. Incontinence products include disposable briefs and adult liners that absorb liquid as well as related products that protect skin and your environment.
To choose the best incontinence solutions for you, you'll want identify your unique needs and then find the right combination of incontinence aids to provide the necessary level of absorbency—all to give you peace of mind.
There is a wide range of incontinence products to choose from. Some are designed to be worn within regular underwear; others are worn instead of it. Some products address incontinence in women while others are made for men. Within these categories, you'll want to look at absorbency rates and choose a style based on your degree of incontinence and whether it is urinary and/or bowel related.
Putting Together Your Incontinence Supplies List
The most common incontinence products are in these categories:
Overnight diapers are extra absorbent diapers designed to function effectively through the night, without waking you up or wetting linens.
Disposable briefs, also called disposable adult diapers, are the incontinence product mainstay, available in a variety of price ranges. Reusable versions are available as well.
Belted undergarments provide absorbency with less bulk than a full incontinence undergarment; an absorbent pad is attached to a belt or straps that secure it in place. You can wear your own underwear over it or to layer it with incontinence underwear for added protection.
Incontinence pads, also called guards and liners, are worn within regular underwear and held in place with adhesive strips. Wearing a pad inside a disposable or reusable brief can double up your protection.
Other incontinence products protect your bedding. Waterproof mattress pads and protectors include disposable chux pads and reusable pads. Waterproof sheets and mattress covers offer additional protection.
Cleansing products are another important part of incontinence management. Protecting the skin from irritants is a must with a two-part system of no-rinse cleanser and a barrier product. Other helpful accessories include gloves, wipes and odor eliminators.

18 U.S. Code § 2199 - Stowaways on vessels or aircraft
prev | next
Whoever, without the consent of the owner, charterer, master, or person in command of any vessel, or aircraft, with intent to obtain transportation, boards, enters or secretes himself aboard such vessel or aircraft and is thereon at the time of departure of said vessel or aircraft from a port, harbor, wharf, airport or other place within the jurisdiction of the United States; or
Whoever, with like intent, having boarded, entered or secreted himself aboard a vessel or aircraft at any place within or without the jurisdiction of the United States, remains aboard after the vessel or aircraft has left such place and is thereon at any place within the jurisdiction of the United States; or
Whoever, with intent to obtain a ride or transportation, boards or enters any aircraft owned or operated by the United States without the consent of the person in command or other duly authorized officer or agent—
(2) if the person commits an act proscribed by this section, with the intent to commit serious bodily injury, and serious bodily injury occurs (as defined under section 1365, including any conduct that, if the conduct occurred in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, would violate section 2241 or 2242) to any person other than a participant as a result of a violation of this section, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both; and
(3) if an individual commits an act proscribed by this section, with the intent to cause death, and if the death of any person other than a participant occurs as a result of a violation of this section, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned for any number of years or for life, or both.
The word "aircraft" as used in this section includes any contrivance for navigation or flight in the air.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 802; Pub. L. 104–294, title VI, § 601(a)(8),Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3498; Pub. L. 109–177, title III, § 308,Mar. 9, 2006, 120 Stat. 241.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 469–474 (June 11, 1940, ch. 326, §§ 1–3,54 Stat. 306; Mar. 4, 1944, ch. 82, §§ 1–4,58 Stat. 111; Apr. 10, 1944, ch. 162, 58 Stat. 188).
Sections consolidated and rewritten with changes of phraseology and substance.
In section 469 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., the element of intent not to pay for transportation was omitted as unnecessary since the payment of transportation will invariably remove the stowaway from the operation of the section by purchasing the master's "consent".
In section 472 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., the enumerations of State, Territory, Possession, District of Columbia, and The Canal Zone, was omitted as adequately covered by "place within the jurisdiction of the United States."
The punishment provision is the same as in sections 470, 472, and 473 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., but the fine is $500 more than the maximum fine provided by said section 469. There seemed no point, however, in preserving a differential in favor of the stowaway as against the aider and abettor of $500. The court can be trusted to exercise a wise discretion within the slightly larger limits provided by the revised section.
The provision for punishment of aiders and abettors in section 470 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was omitted as unnecessary since they are punishable as principals by section 2 of this title.
2006—Pub. L. 109–177added pars. (1) to (3) and struck out former fourth undesignated par. which read as follows: "Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both."
1996—Pub. L. 104–294substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $1,000" in fourth undesignated par.

"Torah scholars increase peace in the world."
This statement by Rabbi Elazar in the name of Rabbi Chanina appears at the very end of Mesechta Nazir. Although it also appears at the end of Mesechta Berachot and Mesechta Yevamot it has a special connection here to the subject discussed in the last mishna, the nezirut of the Prophet Shmuel and the Judge Shimshon.
Both of these nezirim were sanctified for the service of Heaven from their very birth. In regard to Shmuel, his mother, Channah, in her prayer for a son, declared: "I will give him to G-d for all the days of his life and no razor shall come upon his head." (Shmuel I 1:11) The angel who appeared to the mother of Shimshon and informed this barren woman that she would bear a son instructed her "no razor shall come upon his head for the child shall be a nazir to G-d." (Shoftim 13:5)
Both of these spiritual giants, points out Maharsha, were great Torah scholars from their youth and blossomed into judges of their people who were capable of establishing peace among them.

Healthy, Fast, and Easy Recipe For Hot Spinach Dip
Easy, Healthy Killer App: Hot Spinach Dip
What to serve, I pondered, with a hearty pasta and a rich frozen dessert? The answer turned out to be a hot, creamy spinach dip, made healthier with the addition of reduced-fat sour cream and a greater proportion of spinach. Light yet indulgent, it was a nice, green start to what would be a filling meal. I can't wait to serve it again during March Madness playoffs. Want a killer app that's at once both sinful and guiltless? Just keep reading.
From Skinny Taste

2012 — The Year the Islanders Finally Found a New Arena
Kevin Schultz
Around the NHL, 2012 will certainly be remembered for the ridiculous, arrogant lockout that is still currently going on. But for Islander fans, this year should be remembered as the year the team finally put a decades long arena issue to bed. Whether you're thrilled about the team's impending move to Barclays or not, sad to leave the Coliseum or not, I think we can all agree that it is good to finally have closure. The team and the fanbase needed to move past the decades of political shenanigans, failed projects, and other issues (asbestos! attempted condemning!) that have plagued all involved over the years.
To say that this was a long time coming is an understatement. My favorite quote to cite — and you may have seen this before — is from 1991 when, just before the dawn of the modern American stadium and arena boom, Bill Torrey was citing his team's facility as a competitive disadvantage:
"If you take the expansion criteria, we wouldn't qualify right now for expansion," Torrey said of his team's less-than-lucrative and outmoded venue. "But I can't visualize someone moving the team from a New York market to a smaller market."
But the issues with the Coliseum went further back. It wasn't even built with the 32 luxury suites that are there now. 15 of them were retro-fitted to the building in 1982 and 17 more were added later in the mid-1980s (this, of course, was part of John Pickett's foolish fiscal gamble that has plagued the team for nearly three decades).
Now, that can all be behind us. All the bad is over and done with. Kate Murray, John Pickett, John Spano, and a host of other ghosts and villains that haunt the team are rendered irrelevant. Of course, there are also a lot of positives and traditions that we're stepping away from as well but, as I said at the time, the Barclays is a tough but necessary step forward.
Coming in 2015 — or perhaps sooner with a lease buyout — the Islanders will be in Brooklyn and, hopefully, will have the benefits of new revenue streams, facilities, and the stability necessary to attract new players and retain their own. Right now, they're still the 27th most valuable team in the league, by Forbes' annual guess-timation. That should increase and the financial hurdles, and mountains, that the team faced should become smaller. So now, we can finally see what this team is made of when the financial playing surface is a bit more level. Once the lockout is over we can talk about hockey without all of the off-ice distractions. It should be fun.
Have a happy and healthy New Year, Islander Country.

ASSAULT - MADRID - Massena-based state police charged Erin J. White, 26, of Madrid with assault with intent to injure with a weapon, second-degree menacing, second-degree reckless endangerment, reckless endangerment, second-degree harassment and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon after responding to a complaint at 6:01 p.m. Thursday from the town of Madrid. She was arraigned by Norfolk Town Justice Donald Lustyik and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.
Troopers said White struck her husband with a baseball bat at 110 Daley Ridge Road and then fled the scene. Police said a U.S. Border Patrol agent located her in her vehicle at 1988 state Route 310.
Police said White refused to comply with orders to turn her vehicle off made by the Border Patrol agent and a state trooper. A Massena Village Police investigator stopped at the scene and attempted to enter the passenger side of the vehicle, and White reportedly then put her vehicle in reverse and slammed into the front of the state police patrol vehicle. As she was attempting to put the vehicle back into drive, a Border Patrol agent was able to use a Taser on White, and she was taken into custody by police.
White is scheduled to appear at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Potsdam Town Court.
UNLAWFUL POSSESSION - MASSENA - Massena-based state police charged Leslie A. Moore, 27, of Massena with unlawful possession of marijuana and her for making an illegal signal less than 100 feet before making a turn following a traffic stop at 7:33 p.m. Wednesday on Ames Street in the village of Massena.
DWI - MALONE - Malone-based state police charged Thomas G. Wilcox, 26, of St. Regis Falls with driving while intoxicated, refusal to take a breath test and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and ticketed him for operation of a vehicle with an inadequate muffler following a traffic stop at 3:35 a.m. Friday on Finney Boulevard in the town of Malone.

Leadership is frequently thought of in terms of our ability to understand and direct our external environment — people, organizations and events. This course takes the view that to succeed in professional life we need to develop another dimension of leadership — personal leadership. Personal leadership consists of our ability to understand and direct our internal environment: our moods, perceptions, mindsets and motivations.
Some of the most crucial skills in life have to do with how well we can manage this internal environment under ever-changing external circumstances. How quickly can we rebound from setbacks to execute our roles with renewed enthusiasm? Can we stay calm and focused in the face of intense work pressure? How effective are we at eliminating feelings of anger or anxiety that grip us from time to time? How can we cultivate a winner's mindset that will allow us to perform at our optimum all the time? How can we effectively harness our intuitive and creative faculties to aid us in tackling complex issues?
This course taps three sources of insight and learning in order to help students develop a better understanding of their internal environment and to learn and implement techniques for improving their personal competencies: psychologists, philosophers and prophets, and practitioners (great achievers).
The course emphasizes a practical, hands-on skill-building orientation. Lectures are richly supplemented by exercises involving introspection, self-analysis/evaluation and practical applications of techniques. It is the intent of the course to help students begin the journey toward greater self-awareness and mastery over their internal environments.

I've read in several places (photo mags, websites, etc.) that there are third party RAW converters around (i.e. not big name programs like PhotoShop, Lightroom, Picasa, PaintShopPro,...).
So my question is what differences are there from one RAW converter to another and why would one want to use one? I mean, isn't a RAW file basically just recording each pixel and isn't the RAW converter just opening a file in a format your photo editor can use?
Update: It seems I've caused some confusion as to what I meant by "third party". To put things into context, I was reading an article in a photo mag recently about someone who was using PhaseOne for the RAW conversion process then doing additional work inside Photoshop. It's the use of the PhaseOne product that I was referring to as the "third party" software.

|TVA Line Outage Darkens Beech Mountain
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 02 November 2012 06:23
A dark, cold night on Beech Mountain—that with the main power line from TVA down since mid-afternoon Thursday. Mountain Electric district manager Danny Cuthberson said that the line finally gave way to the weight of ice, taking down power from as far away as Mountain City, areas of Elizabethton,
and all of the Beech Mountain area. Cuthberson said that crews were able to restore much of the area off of Beech Mountain to power by late in the day, but crews found 'several issues' on the Beech line and worked all night on the line to Beech under icy, windy conditions, and he said hopes are to have the power restored by mid-morning. Meanwhile, two High Country Radio transmitters, located at the top of Beech, were off the air with the outage.

Video: RCMP Arrests Two People in al-Qaeda Plot Against Trains
Video: Alleged Terror Plot Against Canadian Passenger Train Busted
Video: Thwarted Canada terror plot targeted train to U.S.
OTTAWA, CANADA - Authorities across the border have charged two men with conspiring to carry out a major terrorist attack against a Canadian passenger train.
The RCMP say Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser, who live in the Montreal and Toronto area, were planning to carry out an attack against a VIA Canadian Rail train.
Sources tell the CBC the suspects have been under surveillance for more than a year in both Quebec and southern Ontario.
The two are charged with conspiring to carry out an attack against, and conspiring to murder persons unknown for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group.
The investigation, dubbed "Project SMOOTH", was coordinated by RCMP-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams with help from the FBI, Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Canada Border Services Agency, Toronto Police, York Regional Police, Peel Regional Police, Ontario Provincial Police, Durham Regional Police and others.
"Had this plot been carried out, it would have resulted in innocent people being killed or seriously injured," said RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia. "I want to re-assure our citizens that, while the RCMP believed the accused had the capacity to and intent to carry out these criminal acts, there was no imminent threat to the general public, rail employees, train passengers or infrastructure."
Authorities said the suspects had help from Al Qaeda elements in Iran.
The route of the targeted train reportedly runs between Toronto and New York City. In the U.S., that train is operated by Amtrak and stops in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, before crossing the border at the Whirlpool Bridge.
"Every time that there's been a some kind of terrorist incident, we we've put additional security on here at Niagara Falls because we know this is a famous place," Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster said. "And just like terrorists might seek attention by blowing off bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, so too Niagara Falls because it's a famous place."
The RCMP says the threat was caught early thanks to those collaborative efforts on both sides of the border.
Law enforcement officials say this incident has no connection to the Boston Marathon bombings.
Iran on Tuesday denied any links with an alleged terrorist plot that Canadian authorities claim was directed by al-Qaida operatives in Iran and sought to derail a passenger train.
Canadian authorities allege the suspects Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser, 35, had "direction and guidance" from al-Qaida members in Iran, though there were no claims the planned attacks were state-sponsored by Tehran. Esseghaier is believed to be Tunisian and Jaser from the United Arab Emirates.
Some al-Qaida members had been allowed to stay in Iran after fleeing Afghanistan, but were under tight Iranian controls. Relations have been rocky between mainly Shiite Iran and the Sunni-led al-Qaida on many fronts for years.
Iran was a strong opponent of the Taliban, which sheltered Osama bin Laden and others before the U.S.-led invasion after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Many al-Qaida leaders also view Shiite Muslims with suspicion and hostility.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters that there is "no firm evidence" of any Iranian involvement and groups such as al-Qaida have "no compatibility with Iran in both political and ideological fields."
"We oppose any terrorist and violent action that would jeopardize lives of innocent people," said Mehmanparast.
He called the Canadian claims part of hostile policies against Tehran, and accused Canada of indirectly aiding al-Qaida by joining Western support for Syrian rebels. Some Islamic militant factions, claiming allegiance to al-Qaida, have joined forces seeking to topple the regime of Bashar Assad, one of Iran's main allies in the region.
"The same (al-Qaida) current is killing people in Syria while enjoying Canada's support," said Mehmanparast.
In a separate comment, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi called the claim by Canadian authorities "the most ridiculous fake words."
"I hope Canadian officials resort to more wisdom," he said.
The two countries have no diplomatic relations after Canada unilaterally closed its embassy in Tehran in 2012 and expelled Iranian diplomats from Ottawa.
On Monday, Alireza Miryousefi, spokesman for the Iranian mission to the United Nations, said the terrorist network was not operating in Iran.
"Iran's position against this group is very clear and well known. (Al-Qaida) has no possibility to do any activity inside Iran or conduct any operation abroad from Iran's territory," Miryousefi said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. "We reject strongly and categorically any connection to this story."

Good read, I actually enjoyed the alpha fight reference in the ESPN article.

Good job smitty
Eh follow my TWITTER!
Hear hear
I bitched about it on the NBA ESPN general boards. Anybody who has insider, is there actually something informed and/or interesting in the mag, erm...rag about the Raptors?
I don't really care if they slag Canada and Toronto (they afterall have a right to be ignorant). It's when they write bullshit about the Raptors and/or ignore them completely. Not a single raptor got a vote for the 2010-11 awards, when they have great candidate(s) for the MIP and 6th man. On NBA.com Demar's dunk on Boston or Kleiza's steal against Phoenix were not in the respective top 10 categories. (Two raptor highlights out of like 50)
They do a disservice to their American born players when the team isn't shown on American national television. (they need NBA TV or NBA league pass to watch any Raptor home game). Don't disrespect your own, its pathetic.

Health Expo - Southside Park Medical Center
Southside Medical Center
|We accept:
|Cash Check
(417) 328-6318
Area residents are encouraged to mark their calendars for the health expo at Southside Medical Center sponsored by Citizens Memorial Hospital (CMH). The April 13 health expo will be held from 7 – 10 a.m. The clinic is located at 1120 S. Springfield in Bolivar.
Because blood screenings are offered at cost, CMH does not file insurance. The clinic accepts cash and check at health expo events. A lipid panel measuring the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides is available for $25. A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) includes testing for glucose, calcium, electrolytes and liver function for $20. Men may receive a Prostate Cancer (PSA) test for $30. A Thyroid Profile (TSH + FT4) test is available for $30, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test for $15, Protime (Pt) and INR test for $20 and a Hemoglobin AIC test is available for $20. Results are mailed in approximately 10 working days.
CMH encourages people to participate in the health expo to improve overall health, prevent disease and detect health problems early. In addition to the screenings, the health expo provides opportunities for people to obtain health education materials and learn about the prevention of diseases including cancer, heart disease and stroke, and diabetes.
The results from the lipid panel are more accurate if participants refrain from eating or drinking (except water, black coffee or tea) for eight to 14 hours prior to testing and refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages three days prior.
The PSA screening does not require fasting, which is not recommended for known diabetics or hypoglycemics. Participants need to take their medication as directed because their medications will not alter their results. The tests are screenings only and are not intended to replace regular checkups with a physician or nurse practitioner.
For more information about the health expo and other CMH events, contact the CMH Information Center at 417-328-6010 or 888-328-6010 or the CMH website at citizensmemorial.com.

|ASU plays Villanova Saturday at High Noon

In what is surely one of the most anticipated matchups in NCAA Division I Football Championship history, top-seeded Appalachian State University will host defending national champion Villanova in this year's quarterfinals on Saturday at noon at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.Appalachian (10-2) advanced to the quarterfinals by routing Western Illinois, 42-14, on Saturday in the snow at Kidd Brewer Stadium. No. 10 Villanova (8-4) overcame an early 10-point deficit to pull away for an impressive 54-24 win over Stephen F. Austin on the road on Saturday.
The quarterfinal showdown pits the winners of four of the last five NCAA Division I Football national championships, as ASU claimed an unprecedented three-straight FCS titles from 2005-07 and Villanova won its first national crown last year. However, while the Mountaineers marched to the championship's No. 1 seed with a 9-2 regular season, the Wildcats needed an overtime victory at then-top-ranked Delaware on the final day of the regular season to earn a spot in the 20-team postseason field.
The game also features two of the nation's most dynamic players in Appalachian quarterback DeAndre Presley and Villanova wide receiver/running back/kick returner Matt Szczur. Both had spectacular performances in their team's second-round wins with Presley amassing 311 yards of total offense (including a career-high 264 on the ground) and accounting for three touchdowns in ASU's victory over WIU and Szczur catching 11 passes for 128 yards and running nine times for 68 yards in Villanova's triumph at SFA. Szczur's return to the lineup has been a major part of Villanova's late-season resurgence, as he missed six games in the latter stages of the regular season with an ankle injury.
Tickets for Saturday's colossal showdown ($25 for adults, $15 for youth, $5 for ASU students) go on sale at 2 p.m. Sunday (click HERE to purchase tickets online). Tickets can also be purchased by phone at (828) 262-2079 or in person at the ASU athletics ticket office in the Holmes Center beginning at 9 a.m. Monday. Game coverage begins at 10 am on AM 1450, WATA.

Reliability Testing of GORE® Protective Vents in LED Luminaires
- Created on Tuesday, 17 September 2013
Please Login at the top
of the page to download.
Outdoor lighting systems are designed with sealed housings to protect against environmental contaminants. Atmospheric conditions such as temperature shifts and relative humidity present challenges to the reliability of outdoor luminaires. Changes in ambient temperatures can lead to significant pressure differentials. Over time, pressure on the enclosure seals can cause them to fail and allow contamination and/or water to breach the enclosure. This shortens the life of the luminaire by damaging the wiring, leads and other electronics of the power supply driver and the LEDs. The moisture also reduces light efficiency and can cause condensation to form on the lenses and reflectors.

Submission FoxIt Releases Fix for PDF Jailbreak Flaw->
eldavojohn writes: Despite Adobe shuffling the blame onto Apple, the now famous PDF flaw that allowed jailbreaking in Apple's mobile devices has received a fix from FoxIt. FoxIt is a third party PDF reader that claims in its most recent patch to "fix the crash issue caused by the new iPhone/iPad jailbreak program which can be exploited to inject arbitrary code into a system and execute it there." This is a curious fix since Adobe claims the exploit arises from Apple's PDF reader implementation and, evidently, also appeared in FoxIt Reader.

Clutching a painting for several thousand miles, in tiny airplane aisles and through multiple crowded airports, creates an immaculate bond. I know this from personal, international experience.I don't feel the same special tie with my backpack or the warped energy bars I transported home from China, even though we had made a round-trip together. However, great art surpasses even great food - I really like Lemon Zest Luna Bars - on my list of the three most important things in the world. I love it, and although I crossed the Pacific for other, not entirely aesthetic reasons, I had hoped all along to find the perfect, if faintly bourgeois, painted canvas to bring home from the People's Republic.I found it my first full day in Shanghai. Michael and I, traipsing through side streets in the vicinity of our hotel, halted in front of a small art gallery, captivated at once by a painting of two gloriously mottled people.I should rephrase: I was captivated. Michael, whose list of the most important things in the world is less accurate than my own, caught me staring and said, "You're weird."We were tired, hungry and still shy about trying to speak our meek Mandarin, especially in Shanghai, where we quickly learned people speak another dialect.

A classic Epiphone acoustic-electric guitar.
For almost 20 years, the Epiphone PR-5E acoustic-electric guitar has taken the stage with countless musicians. Designed by Epiphone in 1990, its distinctive body shape was patterned after Epiphone's classic 335 guitars such as the Sheraton and Casino. But instead of a double-cutaway, it features a unique, single "Florentine" or sharp cutaway. The result is a large lower bout providing excellent lows and solid mid-range with easy access to the upper frets on the neck.
The premium select spruce top uses a hand-scalloped, proprietary X-bracing pattern. Combined with the slightly arched mahogany back and mahogany sides, the PR-5E provides a sweet tone that projects well even when unplugged. Its Mahogany neck with SlimTaper profile, makes the PR-5E very easy and comfortable to play without fatigue. Premium die-cast kidney machine heads for tuning accuracy and stability with premium gold hardware and split-diamond, pearloid fingerboard inlays make the PR-5E an extraordinary value.
Recently updated with Epiphone's eSonic preamp and Nanoflex pickup system, the PR-5E comes alive when plugged in. Made in cooperation with Shadow Germany, the eSonic preamp features a built-in, easy to use tuner. When engaged, the guitar's output is automatically muted-with no "popping" noise-making it a perfect choice for stage use. Other controls on this state-of-the-art preamp include master volume, bass, treble, EQ shape, low battery indicator and a phase switch to help eliminate unwanted feedback.
The preamp uses two 2032 lithium watch batteries that are not only lightweight, but provide significantly longer life than heavy 9V batteries. Under the PR-5E's compensated saddle is Shadow's proprietary Nanoflex low-impedance pickup. Not a piezo, this unique flexible sensing material features integrated active electronics and picks up not only string vibration but also top and body vibrations as well for a truly acoustic tone without the harshness of piezos. Case sold separately.

Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
First, no guitar is worth a 10 because no guitar is totally versatile even within its "type." For what it is, so far the PR5 E seems very close to ideal for "type." Since it's quite light, as are many parlor guitars, forget the gig bag and get a hard case to protect it from banging and temperature extremes.
This is an excellent fingerpicking guitar but it's set up for more of a strum style with a wrapped G - at least that's how I got mine. It's light in weight, the neck is wonderful but I'm certain I'll have to do some adjustment because I've dropped string size down to the lightest acoustic-electric strings I can find, the "Zebra" 9-42. At some point I may consider replacing the nut, but no problems now. This is typical especially for changing string gauges on acoustic guitars.
It feels especially good if you've been playing something like a semi-hollow or a small-body jazz guitar such as an ES175. It is big enough to sound decent acoustically as a "parlor guitar," but shines run through an amp or PA where you can add a bit for the lower tones and overtones as well as volume for performance. It may be an excellent stage A-E for someone used to playing a solidbody because it's not as huge as a dreadnaught type instrumen, yet it still sounds like a guitar
I've had no feedback problems thanks to the adjustments available both on the guitar and on my Kustom 30-watt A-E amp - nor run directly through a PA with speakers properly set up.
The cutaway helps, but for an electric player, the higher frets won't be as easily reached. No problem for how I play either folkie fingerpicking or acoustic jazz. I should work very well, by the way, for "Gypsy Jazz."
I haven't had to mess much with the controls yet, but the comment about the tuner and need for reading glasses is absolutely correct. We'll see how the "hearing aid" type batteries work. So far no problem. Another point about the tuner is that an inexperienced player, especially, may want something else to aid in getting a reference tone to work from. It's more or less chromatic so alternate tunings are not impossible.
Overall it is a very attractive instrument - I love the Folorentine cutaway - and the finish is fine on my sunburst. Tuning pegs are fine. I immediately tightened the endpin jack which was a bit loose. Strap goes onto the endpin jack and, as on an electric, at the heel of the neck. The endpin jack is not my favorite because you may have to mess a bit with your strap to fit over the larger metal piece; it will not hold as well as a regular endpin.
Also, I got a Taylor transparent pick guard for mine even though I fingerpick. The guard is held by static electricity and offers a bit of protection without looking ugly or changing the instrument in a way that may take it out of warranty.
This is NOT a guitar to beat on for bluegrass sorts of things. It's excellent for singer-songwriter stuff, '20s "blues," Gary Davis pickin', etc. For volume at any sort of performance you'll want to use the electric option or at minimum a darned good instrument mike on a double mike stand. The electric option to me is far preferable.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I had only seen the PR-5E online and was very intrigued with it. I finally decided to take a ramble and ordered it. As soon as I took out of the box I fell in love with it. Before turning it up I went over every inch looking for defects, but couldnt find one. Once tuned up I heard outstanding sound and the action was as if it was setup just for me. Of course it is a thinner body guitar, so youre not going to get the big sound of a Dreadnought. I ordered the guitar in natural finish and the woods are beautiful; especially mahogany back and side. For me the only down side is the on board tuner display. The characters are a bit small and I have to ware my glasses to see them. Plugged in the PR-5E does not disappoint. After playing with the controls I was very satisfied with the electronics. Finally I believe this guitar is the bench mark for all other acoustic electric guitars in this price range.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This guitar is one of a kind. I got it for a gift couple years back and and it still plays great. For the price you really cant beat it. I did put a couple of nics in it and it hurts me more then the guitar.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I would say it's a worthy guitar looking at the parts that comes with it. Mine comes with Grover tuners, Shadow preamp and it's made in Korea. The finish of the guitar is ok but not to perfection. It's still worth the price paid for.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I've owned this guitar for over a year now and when I got it I couldnt beleive the quality of sound that it produced. A month after I got it I had to get another one just because it was soo good.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This guitar is great I just got mine but I love it the body is small so it fits any size even kids!! I love it so much! it sounds great in and out it has a great look to it too.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I actually have two of these guitars. One at home to practice with and another at work to actually play. This is an astonishingly high quality guitar for the price. It has the Gibson name on the access plate and the workmanship of this guitar is worthy of that name. I've had mine for over 3 years now and all I've ever had to do to it is change the strings. EQ is very flexible and allows fine tuning of the tone. The florentine cutaway makes it easy to get up above the 12th fret and the overall appearance of the guitar is very appealing. Another nice feature is the two different styles of output connections. Mine came with Grover tuners and they absolutely keep it in tune. Overall a really value for the price.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I once played bass in a band that used all Ovation guitars. They were very good guitars. Had the deep smooth sounds that a good guitar should have whether it's a bass, rhythm or lead lead guitar. These guitars have an ideal tone for picking the melody in a western song.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I have owned this guitar for about 2 years. It has done me a world of good. A professional guitarist had a look at it for me and said that it was a great guitar and that there was nothing I couldn't do on it, therefore I could never blame it. It has an EQ on the side, which is useful. It sounds good too. A fantastic starter or intermediate guitar.
Comments about Epiphone PR5-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This guitar is truly amazing. The thin body gives you a comfortable fit and it sounds great! I've had mine for a couple of years and it still sounds brand new. This guitar is great for guitarists at any level.

Helping companies deal with international product regulations: 11th annual EU-China regulatory dialogue Paskelbta: 12/09/2013
Over the past ten years continuous advances have been made in the understanding and convergence of EU and Chinese product regulations - vital to the internationalisation and success of companies in both the EU and China. Today a regulatory dialogue focused on greater convergence of technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment.
This year, the EU and China celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. As part of this partnership, today in Brussels the 11th meeting of the regulatory dialogue "Plenary of EU – China Consultation Mechanism on Industry and WTO/TBT" was held.
The dialogue's overall objective is to help reduce costs for companies and increase productivity for businesses on both sides, by promoting cooperation and mutual understanding in industrial and SME policy between the EU and China. Its main target is the greater convergence of EU and Chinese regulations.
Regulatory convergence is mutually beneficial: it facilitates trade, reduces burdens on enterprises and helps industries' competitiveness on a global scale. SMEs in particular need simpler regulations and accessible information about applicable requirements. Currently regulatory divergences between EU and Chinese systems still create barriers to trade and inflate compliance costs.
Today's meeting focused on three main aspects:
Conformity Assessment
Excessively burdensome conformity assessment procedures can act as a serious market access barrier. At the last Plenary Meeting of the Regulatory Dialogue in October 2012 it was agreed to intensify cooperation on product risk assessment, risk management and market surveillance. This included support for the simplification of the Chinese Compulsory Certification (CCC) System for products – a system which can be complex, lengthy and costly for European companies, and for SMEs in particular. This commitment was endorsed in a Joint Statement signed by Vice-President Tajani and AQSIQ Minister Zhi Shuping on 19 July 2013 in Beijing.
Industry and in particular SMEs, need clear, transparent and easily accessible market access information to support their internationalisation. Currently, over 300 European Standards form the basis for Chinese standards.
The Commission and the Chinese authorities would like to intensify cooperation on standard convergence and extend the number and the standard information of products covered by CESIP (China-Europe Standardisation Information Platform). This would provide companies with easily accessible, complete, clear and free of charge information.
The intention is that CESIP would give standard information on three new product categories (online as of November):
- aerosol containers (e.g. sprays)
- textiles
- packaging material
Further additional new categories will be defined during the forthcoming meeting of the "Standardisation" working group that will be held in Shenzhen in November. The group would also welcome suggestions for new categories from industry stakeholders.
Technical regulation convergence
Dialogues on regulatory policy, as well as specific dialogues in industry areas are aimed at finding ways of reducing the costs arising from differences in regulations, for example by basing regulations on common standards, or mutually recognising the results of conformity assessment procedures.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Explore the dark, rainy underbelly of one of America's most beautiful but enigmatic cities.
Brand-new stories by: Gigi Little, Justin Hocking, Chris A. Bolton, Jess Walter, Monica Drake, Jamie S. Rich (illustrated by Joelle Jones), Dan DeWeese, Zoe Trope, Luciana Lopez, Karen Karbo, Bill Cameron, Ariel Gore, Floyd Skloot, Megan Kruse, Kimberly Warner-Cohen, and Jonathan Selwood.
From the downtown streets littered with strip clubs and gutter punks to the north side where gentrification and old school hip-hop collide, Portland, Oregon, is a place that seems straight out of a David Lynch movie. It's a city full of police controversies, hippie artist houses, and overzealous liberals, where even its fiction blurs with its bizarre realities.
Portland Noir is an encompassing literary journey where your tour guides take you to the Shanghai Tunnels, dog parks, dive bars, sex shops, Powell's Books, Voodoo Doughnuts, suspiciously quiet neighborhoods, the pseudo-glitzy Pearl District, Oaks Amusement Park, and a strip club shaped like a jug. Violent crime, petty mischief, and personal tragedy run through these mysterious tales that careen through this cloudy, wet city.
Portland Noir is sure to both charm and frighten readers familiar with this northwest hub and intrigue those who have never traveled to this proudly weird city.
"The home of Chuck Palahniuk, Powell's City of Books — and the place with more strip clubs per capita than any other city in America — gets its due in this splendid entry in Akashic's noir series. Portland natives will appreciate shout-outs to lesser-known landmarks, like the weekly showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Clinton Street Theater in Ariel Gore's 'Water Under the Bridge,' while outsiders may recognize some of the city's more famous draws, like the Shanghai Tunnels in Gigi Little's 'Shanghaied.' Standouts include Floyd Skloot's eerily poignant 'Alzheimer's Noir'; Jonathan Selwood's 'The Wrong House,' about a drug deal that goes horribly awry; and Bill Cameron's 'Coffee, Black,' which features not only his series regular, retired detective Thomas 'Skin' Kadash, but also one of the city's most prized commodities: coffee. The 16 stories in this anthology demonstrate that a little rain is never a deterrent to murder. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Portland Noir peels back that feel-good, progressive veneer the city is so proud of to reveal a downbeat, often tragic underbelly unknown to those who live above it." Portland Oregonian
"Portland [Oregon] is known to the world, inasmuch as it is known, as a place where bicycles roam free, urban designers plot bioswales, and gourmet beer flows. Thank God it's not really like that. Those who live here — the talented authors in this collection, for example — understand that a death spirit presides over the land. We glimpse it in Floyd Skloot's poignant Alzheimer's gothic and Jess Walters' devilish tale of a newspaperman's revenge, in the narcotized ennui of Dan DeWeese's workaday narrator, and the petty, practical criminality depicted by Jamie S. Rich and Joelle Jones. Taken together, the voices of Portland Noir describe a city — unlike the one seen so often in the New York Times food section — of hard luck and emotional vice. Which is to say, a city you might actually want to live in." Jon Raymond, author of Livability
In a city full of police controversies, hippie artist punk houses, and overzealous liberals, Portland, Oregon, is a place where even its fiction blurs with its bizarre realities.
Brand-new stories by: Gigi Little, Justin Hocking, Chris A. Bolton, Jess Walter, Monica Drake, Jamie S. Rich (illustrated by Joelle Jones), Dan DeWeese, Zoe Trope, Luciana Lopez, Karen Karbo, Bill Cameron, Ariel Gore, Floyd Skloot, Megan Kruse, Kimberly Warner-Cohen, and Jonathan Selwood.

MORRISTOWN – In roughly one months time, juniors and their parents at Morristown Central School raised enough money to have a prom on May 11, even though the school wont be involved due to budget cuts.
I think theyre doing really well, said Mary M. Paquette, one of the parents organizing the event.
The prom will be held at the Morristown Fire Hall and will be run by parents and students who want to see the event continue.
At Tuesdays Board of Education meeting, Superintendent David J. Glover said the students are set. They are doing good work.
So far students have raised $1,988.
All they really have to do is buy the decorations, Mrs. Paquette said. I think close to $2,000 is a lot of money for the kids, and they need to learn how to budget the money.
Juniors came close to not having a prom. While the students have raised roughly $5,000 for their class, it cant be accessed without a class advisor. The class of 2014 will have a senior class advisor, but the district cut the junior class advisor in an effort to save $800 last year, leaving the $5,000 account untouchable until next year.
To me its money in the bank, Mrs. Paquette said. They have enough money raised for their prom right now.
Board member Mary Anne Bailey said the decision to cut the junior class advisor was irresponsible.
What weve done to these kids is wrong just to save $800, she said, arguing that the students should have access to the $5,000 they raised whenever they want to.
But board member James Michaels said the experience may be a positive thing for the students.
Not every school has their prom, Mr. Michaels said.
Mr. Michaels also felt that the budget cuts are teaching students that there are stumbling blocks in life.
