in peter's experience with the second version.it worked perfectly. and it worked perfectly at between 68° and 69° north. for those unfamiliar with such things, we can call it the Canadian distance between Paulatuk and Kugluktuk. (yes.. lots of k's and u's. better yet, as you go east, they add an abundance of j's and start stacking the u's several deep.)now, granted, there is not much "tree cover", nor really much of Anything up there, but i know for a proven fact that it sent signals each and every night from various locations. i did give it a hand and usually place the beacon atop a nearby rock or local high point. i let it run roughly an hour each time.the website was only modestly annoying (given my very low tolerance), but i managed to create an account, add names, change names, modify settings and messages all on my own.yes, there is an annual fee, and let us not forget, that annual fee allows (if you exploited it ) a VAST amount of usage. one has the option of loaning the unit to friends (... doug being the exception on that subject), and simply changing the names on the contact list.so : in my life, the spot beacon has worked as advertised. for some other folks .. perhaps not so much. the battery life seems exceptional. for what little it costs, and for what it reliably does for me, spot is a no brainer.maybe i got a "good one". there seems no easy way to determine this as yet.v.
Bob -Regarding holding the Spot Connect in my hand and watching the red light...The Spot has a light that indicates whether or not it has a GPS fix. Red is obviously bad. The problem is that Spot has used an arbitrary logic matrix on when a message can be sent (I've always assumed it was so that that they can skew their success rate on the percentage of points sent... but I'm bitter so take that comment for what it is...). Anyway, if you don't have a GPS fix, the track point message won't be sent. If you can't get a GPS fix, the "I'm OK message won't be sent". I think the only time it sends a message without a GPS fix is when it's an SOS.

Not sure why you think the logic is arbitrary - seems pretty simple really. TRACK & OK require a GPS fix, HELP & 911 don't.I've watched the standard handheld GPS have the exact same reception problems as SPOT, so I don't think there is much difference in GPS receivers. I have tested Gen 1 and Gen 2 SPOTs side by side and the Gen 2 has better GPS reception - why I don't know.Since the SPOT usage model is based on lots of messages, it doesn't need 100% transmit success to perform it's function.Because SPOT's messaging is exposed, users can compare message success rates and have something to talk about on forums. PLBs like ACR's ResQLink are a exercise in faith because you never really know whether it is going to work or not until you activate it - so we don't know what kind of message success rate it has (it needs a GPS fix too to be of much use).I'm just happy that folks are carrying something to give SAR a leg up in the rescue process. Just last week a very experienced mountaineer was killed on Mt.Hood in NW Oregon. SAR had no idea where he was because he didn't have any form of locator beacon with him. Had he had SPOT tracking him, they wouldn't have had to scour the mountain in the search.
>> Not sure why you think the logic is arbitrary - seems pretty simple really. TRACK & OK require a GPS fix, HELP & 911 don't. <<I see it differently than you do... why does anybody need to know "where" I am as long as I'm OK? Allowing an OK message to go through "without" coordinates is probably the most logical function Spot could have added but they didn't. I also think an SOS without a location is not all that useful but at least it message getting out will let somebody know you are in trouble... somewhere... I have also had my track points "saved" by my Spot when it can't get a GPS fix and all of them sent when I finally get a GPS fix. This is totally bogus as it looks like I've been sitting in one place for a long time when I've actually been moving at a steady pace. Why bother sending these (other than it lets Spot boost their "track successfully sent" statistics)I will totally diagree that all GPS receivers suffer the same under a heavy canopy, that's just not the case. The GPS receiver in my inReach works better than my Spot but neither can come close to any of my Garmin GPS receivers. I've done a lot of side by side comparisons and the Garmin always wins (I've rarely lost a GPS fix with my Garmins since Garmin introduced their High Sensitivity receivers). A Garmin GPS receiver can track you indoors (I've tested this many times), the GPS receiver in the satellite messengers I've tried, seem to struggle to get a fix with anything less than a completely unobstructed view of the sky.If Garmin ever decides to manufacture a satellite communicator that incorporates their GPS receiver, I'll be the first person in line to buy one.

The whole idea of these messages is to leave an electronic history of your journey - so that your loved ones know where you are and so that SAR knows where to start. The SPOT usage model is totally superior to the standard PLB model where nobody knows where you are until you activate the device.If the goal is stealth, then go with a standard PLB.

"I think you're completely missing the idea of the SPOT usage model. The whole idea of these messages is to leave an electronic history of your journey - so that your loved ones know where you are and so that SAR knows where to start. The SPOT usage model is totally superior to the standard PLB model where nobody knows where you are until you activate the device."Tracking is an option with the Spot - or the Inreach - but plenty of us don't see value in it. I bought a Spot so I could let the folks at home know I was OK. Posting every bit of trail I take seems silly to me, but after my Mother-in-law was ready to call out SAR because it got down to 20F on a weekend outing we realized we needed a way to calm her down. It worked fine until the trip where nothing went out for 4 days, meaning that it caused more anxiety than if I hadn't bought it in the first place. Now we're probably going to buy an Inreach, so we will know whether the messages we send are actually going out. The whole idea of a communicator as opposed to a PLB is that your loved ones at home know that as of noon today (or whenever) you were fine, not pinned under a rock / being digested by a bear / too hypothermic to move, or otherwise incapable of triggering a device. The breadcrumb option is a bonus for those who see value in it, but not central to the concept.
"I will totally diagree that all GPS receivers suffer the same under a heavy canopy, that's just not the case."Yes, I started into the GPS business in 1994, so I have seen many generations of GPS receivers, and I have seen huge variations in performance. Lots of the difference is based on the software nuances. However, lots of the difference is in the antenna design. Some users don't even know where the antenna is located within their receiver case, so they don't know where not to place a finger or a hand. If you really want to pull in a good signal, use an external antenna. Those are powered by the receiver, so you don't get something for nothing.I have yet to see any brand of GPS receiver that will out-perform Garmin. I own three for my personal use.--B.G.--
My first GPS was a Magellan purchased in 1998. The antena was visible as it stuck out the top. And it worked poorly under canopy. I have been doubtful ever since. My wife bought me a Garmin a few years ago, and I take with us on day hikes -- makes her feel she bought something useful. I also noticed that some of the Garmin maps show old trails no longer found on other maps to include USGS. This feature makes for some interesting and exciting hikes, where we are almost guaranteed to have the hike to ourselves. Sometimes I take the GPS on winter trips where I expect storms to create poor visibility. But unlike most, the GPS is the backup, not the map and compass.When it comes to electronics, I adhere and believe in Murphy's Law.
Bob - I agree with you about the antennae and software being the key. The signals that any GPS receiver pulls in from the satellites is weak at best. It's all about how the software interpolates the mess it receives that makes the difference between good and bad units.I thought you'd find it interesting (and any other GPS geeks out there)... the inReach SE user manual says: "Antenna - Keep the satellite communicator antenna pointing up toward the sky and the face of the device pointing away from your body."Not what I'd call the best design... you have to face the screen "away" from yourself to get the strongest signal. Kind of counter intuative. :)
>"Tracking is an option with the Spot - or the Inreach - but plenty of us don't see value in it. "Will: I'm not a fan of SPOT, but I can see the value in tracking. Stuff can happen so quick or so completely, that you can't press the panic button. An (old but very active) friend died earlier this year when he slipped and hit his head. Tracking wouldn't have saved him, but it would have determined his whereabouts much sooner. And for a non-fatal blow to head? Tracking could be lifesaving. Or your pack gets swept away in the river with your SPOT? Electronic bread crumbs along the trail and then a track downriver till it hangs up. Searchers could start at the river crossing and the SPOT's final resting location. I also now people who use it to track charter aircraft. Partly for safety reasons - to have a last known location. But also for fleet dispatch and planning. If a plane has to divert, has a headwind, etc; dispatch sees it instantly without the pilot having to make / relay a radio message.>"but after my Mother-in-law was ready to call out SAR because . . . we realized we needed a way to calm her down." Sounds like you need to announce trips on a need-to-know basis and she doesn't need to know. Maybe that could be a role for your father-in-law only?> Not what I'd call the best design... you have to face the screen "away" from yourself to get the strongest signal. Kind of counter intuative. :)Mike: So (to steal a thought from the 10 essentials thread), we have now determined how a mirror helps you with emergency signaling - to operate your PLB!
>> Tracking is an option with the Spot - or the Inreach - but plenty of us don't see value in it.<<I really had to think about the value of tracking when I signed on for my inReach service plan. Unlike the plans available in the USA, inReach Canada has cheaped-out with their plans. If you don't want to go with the $50/month plan (which provides you with unlimited tracking and a ton of messaging), you have to choose between a tracking plan OR a messaging plan. I decided to go with the tracking plan as I see the tracking feature as providing me with the best safety net, as a lot of my excursions are solo. Turning the tracking on and stuffing the inReach in my pack is how I use it 90% of the time. If I don't return home they will know where to start looking for me. I also don't do "I'm OK messages". It's something that I've never done in past decades and my family has gotten used to the idea that I'll show up when I get there... and so far so good. With my inReach tracking plan, messaging is barely provided (10 per month) but if I really need to talk, the overage price won't be an issue.
"I can see the value in tracking. Stuff can happen so quick or so completely, that you can't press the panic button"OK; I stated my case a bit strongly. Yes, I agree there can be value in tracking in event of an emergency. There's also benefit in never going out in the woods in groups of less than five (so two can treat an injury while two go for help). I choose to accept a certain degree of risk, which varies with where I'm going and how familiar I am with the conditions I'll face. The difference between backpacking pre-Spot and with a non-tracking Spot is that our families might be spared some worry, and (in the event of an emergency) SAR can be activated quickly and will know where to go (taking S mostly out of the equation). Since the two of us stay together, any sudden incapacitating event would have happen to both of us at once -there are certainly events one can imagine but the odds are a lot better than they are for the solo traveler. "Sounds like you need to announce trips on a need-to-know basis"Interesting idea, but since we lost her father a couple years ago, my wife has been checking in with her mother on a daily basis. Disappearing without a word for a few days isn't really an option.
My SPOT has been pretty darn good at getting message out. I've had 2 fail to get out in 4 years. I don't use tracking but I'm starting to consider it based on some comments here. All this is based on my experiences since I had one and especially on a trip, solo of course, where I injured my knee and walking was excruciating. My wife is very familiar with the main rule I have for using the SPOT. No OK messages received means nothing. If I'm in serious trouble, I'm sending and SOS, not an OK. And electronics fail. Don't call SAR until the time specified on the detailed itinerary I leave behind for every trip. Once again, that doesn't change if there is no OK message. There's a map with where I intend to go and possible detours so I'm not tied to my route if I decide I want to go somewhere else. And alternate trailheads I might bail out to. If I decide to take another trail, I start down that trail and I send out 3 OK messages. If it's a bushwhack, I send them fairly often. If she's sees multiple OKs in the same location, spread out over a period of time, I'm not in need of rescue but something is keeping me where I am, like a painful knee. The help message says meet me at alternate trailhead. I changed it to that after the knee injury where I was lucky to hit about a 100 yard window of cell phone coverage and was able to bail out to another trailhead and have her pick me up. Avoided an extra 10 miles and 2000' of vertical by doing so. I went on a last minute short overnight a month ago and threw the SPOT in my pack without extra batteries. And the ones in it were dead. That was dumb. But when I discovered it in camp, I wasn't worried that SAR would be called. Otherwise I would have had to hike out and ruin my evening. Instead, the worse thing that happened was looking like an idiot to my wife when I got home but were both used to that.I'd love to get the Inreach if the plans were more reasonable. I think they are pretty steep. Instead of worrying about getting back to my car when I was in camp with my aching knee, I could have just said "Meet me at 11 at TH XXX of road YYY, you'll find it on map ZZZ. And bring some chicken and some cold beer. There's some tables there and we can have a picnic." Now that would be backcountry communication!

A lot of good discussion here. As a SAR member, we have also had a lot of discussions on the use and types of devices. First, let me say that I like the availability of these devices and that the cost is not too prohibitive. I carry a SPOT with tacking enabled. I like the idea that if for some reason I'm unable to press SOS, at least there is a trail of breadcrumbs. It calms those at home to see the track and know that the SOS has not been sent. However, remember......1) Know your device's capabilities and how to use them. In the case of SPOT, if you press SOS and then HELP, only the last message gets sent and SAR is not contacted unless your HELP POC calls.2) Messages are dependent on the receiver POC knowing what to do about it. Let your contacts know that you might rest for a day or two without incident. Send and OK message on a layover day to reassure them. Go over what each message means and how you might intend to use it. My wife always knows my ETA and a time to initiate SAR (usually a large buffer).3) Be responsible. Almost all SAR personnel are volunteers with jobs. We use precious vacation leave from work to help others. Also be considerate of your family. Life insurance does not pay if we can't find you :(4) The very best safety item to bring on a hike is another person! No gadget will replace the adaptive response available from and friend :)5) Your friend's ability to help you (and vice versa) depends on skills and equipment like a good first aid kit.6) Be Prepared!
4) The very best safety item to bring on a hike is another person! No gadget will replace the adaptive response available from and friend :)----------Dang. Double jeopardy.
>"The help message says meet me at alternate trailhead. . . . . And bring some beer. "Randy,This captures most of my thoughts about the "HELP" button on a SPOT. Without preplanning, I refer to it as the "bring beer" message. I just never know what message I'd want to send, but an alt trailhead is a great idea. Now, if only my wife would ever pick me up! (I was a little slow on a 35-mile day hike due to hundreds of blow-down trees and a missing bridge and I had to hitch hike home).The best "help" message a friend used on my SPOT was to his wife, "call John Smith and tell him to bring a 55-gallon drum of fuel to Tanana on the Yukon River" in case he had used more fuel than hoped for on a week-long motorized river trip. He wanted the option, but he didn't want to pull the trigger on it if he didn't need to.
"The very best safety item to bring on a hike is another person! No gadget will replace the adaptive response available from and friend :) "Actually, both are better than either. The beacon (if it works) can get help MUCH faster than any friend can hike out (and while a beacon might not work; it's also possible that a friend will get hurt on the way out and not get out). Then the friend can stay with you, provide medical care, keep you warm.. and/or move you to a place where a copter can land.Two friends and a beacon are even better... the beacon makes the fastest contact... on friend goes out for help just in case the beacon did not work... the other stays with you.bill d
>" The only thing that I can think of is that it uses the GPS downlink as a proxy. If the GPS downlink is good, then it _assumes_ that an uplink signal will be good. It doesn't know, but it assumes. Since the different satellites are in different places in the sky, I don't know how good of an assumption this is."Yeah, it seems like one is not equal to the other. But since multiple satellites are needed for GPS fix, does that make it a reasonable proxy for a upload proxy?Theoretically, could a unit know where the Cospas-Sarsat satellites are? It knows/learns where the GPS satellites are. Then, if it saw GPS satellites on all sides of the Cospas-Sarsat satellite, the upload could be with pretty high confidence. Further, if the unit knew all the orbits, looking at GPS satellites, it could predict when the Cospas-Sarsat satellites would be in the clear. I doubt any unit does this, but they're welcome to steal the idea.
>"Two friends and a beacon are even better."Well, yes and no. Three of you have six ankles that could get broken, not two. Three stomach to catch some bugs. Six hands to disinfect before eating, etc.Further, there's an insidious effect when we factor in the "added safety" and take more risks than we otherwise would. Examples:When I was dating my future wife, each of us had a lot of respect for the other's extensive backpacking, hiking, and travel chops. And we each wouldn't "pack for bear" like we would on our own. There was some stumbling down a dark trail when neither of us brought a headlamp. Or no one brought a wallet to the restaurant. Communications helps. As does learning about each other. I don't bring any first aid stuff - I let the doctor handle that. I ALWAYS have my wallet, so she often doesn't. Etc.Twin-engine-plane engines fail more often then single-engine-plane engines. Pilots and mechanics have long observed and discussed this, and, sure, it's harder to hear an odd sound in one of two engines, but the difference in reliability is greater than that. The thoughtful people I have talked to acknowledge that it's an easy trap to fall into - caring less about the odd sound or errant reading when you have two engines and that it takes a lot of discipline to fight that and fully realize the potential safety of the two engines. Lastly, I'll ask the guys when they did the stupidest things in a car and I bet it was when there were other people in the car. Especially with no females present. How many people's last words were, "Hey, Guys! Watch This!"?

AHA Souffle 12% Glycolic AHA
AHA Souffle includes 12% glycolic acid formulated at a pH of 4, which makes this effective for exfoliation.
Foaming Face Wash
Expect this to do a sufficient job removing makeup and consider it recommended for all skin types except very oily.
Add to Faves?
Alpha Hydrox At-A-Glance
Strengths: A good selection of well-priced, effective AHA products utilizing glycolic acid; also excels with skin-lightening and retinol products; a small but workable selection of cleansers.
Weaknesses:A couple of moisturizers with oxygenating ingredients; reliance on jar packaging for some products with antioxidants.
Known primarily for their well-formulated AHA products, Alpha Hydrox got an impressive image update recently. Although the improvements were more visual and packaging-related than formulary-driven, the fact remains that Alpha Hydrox has a formidable range of effective AHA products, all with definitively researched glycolic acid. Kudos to the company for continuing to be direct about the AHA content (and pH) of their exfoliants, something most other lines selling AHA products prefer to keep a mystery. Should the folks behind this brand choose to go back to the drawing board once again, they would do well to reconsider their current jar packaging if they intend to keep adding antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients to their efficacious but still predominantly basic products.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I bought a used vacuum cleaner that normally would cost somewhere in the hundreds for less than one hundred dollars. I was not too excited because I had to buy a used vacuum yet I wanted a GOOD one and thought no matter what I would have to settle for one that was old, probably ugly and inferior which would break down soon after purchased. Well I chose Tech For Less after some comparison and I "have" to tell you Tech For Less didn't disappoint! In the description on their website it said the vacuum "has some dings and scratches" but when the it arrived it looked and was packaged like it was brand new. I could have actually given it as a gift and not been embarrassed in the least....I swear! We couldn't even find the "dings and scratches" as described. Unbelievable! I recommend Tech For Less and will order from them again...Oh! and the performance was braggable as well-lol- Jill D. (Macungie, PA)

NEWS: MARC STAAL IS SKATING On His Own (Updates)
Update: 5:24PM:
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/drosennhl/status/141643472355594240″%5D
Update: 1:11PM: In the Daily News, Pat Leonard has this quote from Sidney Crosby:
"I think it's just to be patient. That's the most important thing," Crosby said Tuesday morning. "There are days you feel really good and there are days it feels you really haven't progressed that much, so you look at the good days as little victories, and you make sure you build on them, but I wouldn't come back until you're 100 percent. That's my advice; however long it takes, it's worth the wait. Just making sure you rest up your body."
Update: 12:38PM: Larry Brooks writes in the NY Post that Staal has been symptom free for at least five weeks.
Update: 12:27PM: The team has no comment on this according to Andrew Gross
Original Post: Katie Strang writes at ESPN New York that Marc Staal has begun skating on his own.
She says that he has skated the past two days for the first time since being shut down for the Month of October.
The last report on Staal said that he was riding the stationary bike.
Last week, Bob McKenzie of TSN said that if Staal didn't have any set backs he could be back shortly after the New Year.
It is still baby steps for Staal, but at least there was no issue with riding the bike. Hopefully there is no issue with skating and he can continue on his way back.

William Marsden, Postmedia News
WASHINGTON — For U.S. Navy Capt. Mark Vandroff, 46, Monday morning started out as "very normal." He hit the gym at 5:45 a.m., worked out for an hour, showered and headed for the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters down the street.
Carrying his lunch box and his briefcase, he went through security and then grabbed an elevator to the third floor, where he went straight to the conference room for his regular 8 a.m. meeting.
Seven other naval officials sat around the conference table to discuss the tasks of the day when, about 15 minutes later, "We heard a loud sound and we all looked at each other and said, 'Wow, that's an unusual sound. What the heck was that?'" Vandroff recalled.
"And then the second sound a few minutes later where people started screaming, 'Close the doors, close the doors,' that was definitely gunfire. We looked up and saw the bullet holes in the top of the wall of the conference room."
Vandroff and his crew quickly slammed shut the conference room doors, flipped the table on its side, jammed it up against the doorknob and hit the floor.
Only later would Vandroff learn that a mass murderer had penetrated the high-security Washington Navy Yards, located on the banks of the Potomac River, in the shadow of the Capitol building. And only later would he learn that among the dead victims was a close friend and colleague.
"The fact that I lost a friend today, I'm still processing it," he said, shaking his head. "I'll go home and think about that tonight."
Vandroff's friend was one of 12 people who died Monday after a gunman went on a rampage at the major naval installation.
Authorities confirmed that the gunman — identified by the FBI as 34-year-old Aaron Alexis, from Fort Worth, Texas — was also killed at the Washington Navy Yard after a running gun battle with police.
In addition to those killed, eight people were hurt — three of them shot and wounded, according to Washington Mayor Vincent Gray. Those three were a police officer and two female civilians, authorities said. They were all expected to survive.
The dead ranged in age from 46 to 73, according to the mayor. A number of the victims were civilian employees and contractors, rather than active-duty military personnel, the police chief said.
At a late-night news conference, Cathy Lanier, D.C.'s police chief, said Alexis acted alone.
Officials would not comment on a possible motive. The Associated Press reported that Alexis was originally from New York and had been a full-time reservist from 2007 to 2011. He left the navy in January 2011 as a petty officer 3rd class in a fleet logistics support unit.
More recently he had worked on a navy contract as an IT contractor. He was employed by a company called The Experts, which had been subcontracted by Hewlett Packard Enterprises Services.
The FBI said that despite initial reports that Alexis entered the complex with a stolen ID, he had a valid pass due to his work as a military contractor.
Alexis spoke Thai, worked as a waiter at a Thai restaurant and regularly attended a Buddhist temple in Fort Worth, the Washington Post reported. J. Sirun, a temple worker, told the newspaper that Alexis was quiet. "But on the inside, I think he was very aggressive. He did not like to be close with anybody, like a soldier who has been at war."
According to press reports, he was twice arrested for illegal use of a firearm. In Seattle in 2004, he was arrested for shooting out a man's car tires in what he later told police was "rage-fuelled blackout."
He was again arrested in Texas in 2010 for firing a pistol through the ceiling of his apartment, apparently because a neighbour was too loud. The bullet narrowly missed the neighbour's foot. Alexis claimed he was cleaning his gun when it accidentally fired.
The Washington Post also reported that officials were researching whether Alexis had recently worked as a defence contractor or civilian employee of the navy. It was not clear if he was assigned to work at the navy yard. It also remained unclear late Monday whether the gunman acted alone or had help.
Police had earlier told reporters they were looking for two other potential gunmen dressed in military uniforms but later said one of the suspects had been cleared. Officials said another dozen or more people were injured in the rampage — at least three of them critically — including a law enforcement officer.
"One of the worst (tragedies) in recent memory," Gray said.
A spokeswoman for the Canadian embassy in Washington said that a Canadian naval officer works at the navy yard and that another Canadian is a frequent visitor. "Both are accounted for and safe and were not at the navy yard this morning," Alex Vaschon White said.
U.S. President Barack Obama called the shooting a "cowardly act."
"Some people have been shot and some people have been killed and so we are confronting yet another mass shooting and today it happened on a military installation in our nation's capital," he said before delivering a scheduled speech on the state of the economy.
"It's a shooting that targeted our military and civilian personnel." He added that the victims know the dangers of serving abroad, "but today they faced the unimaginable violence that they wouldn't have expected here at home.
"We will do everything in our power to make sure that whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible," he said.
The shootings took place in the high-security Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters, where civilians and military personnel work on design, engineering and technology of U.S. naval ships. The navy yards is located along a stretch of riverfront that formerly housed old government warehouses surrounded by a rundown neighbourhood.
Over the last decade the district has been revitalized and gentrified. Tree-lined streets sport brick townhouses freshly painted in lemon yellow, lime green, baby blues and cloudy greys. New condo and commercial buildings crowd the boulevards.
The yards are located next to a small park on the Potomac and the public can access a section of the yards through a boardwalk.
"It is a very secure facility," local Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton said in an interview.
"The navy has managed to keep it secure while it has been open to the public." She added that the killer or killers probably had a government security pass.
"I don't think anybody could have gotten in here who did not have the proper identification," she said. "They were within a secure building within a secure building."
The Associated Press reported that the shooter may have gained access to the building using someone else's identification card. Vandroff said that as long as you have a security card, security guards normally don't check for weapons.
"Normally the armed guards do random searches," he said. "They'll look in your briefcase. That's normally done but not everyone on a random basis." Asked what he thought of the security on the base now, he refused to comment
Witnesses described a gunman firing down on a cafeteria from an upper floor and a gunman firing at people in a hallway on another floor, the Associated Press reported.
Naval yard employee Patricia Ward said she heard the shots ring out.
"It was like pow, pow, pow," she told reporters. "We all panicked deciding which way to run out," she said.
"A few of us ran out the side exit."
Other witnesses described a scene of pandemonium as naval personnel panicked and rushed to exit the building. Some people fell while others stepped over them. Many tried to climb security fences.
Witnesses said the fire alarm went off at about 8:20 a.m. and there was an announcement that there was a fire warning in the building. Then fire wardens came running into the offices and told people to get out of the building as fast as they could, witnesses said.
When Terry Durham and her colleagues left their offices they saw a shooter turn a corner down the hallway. The gunman shot with a rifle in their direction as they fled.
"It was a rifle," one witness told reporters. "That's the best we could tell from this distance."
"We saw him raise it and aim it in our direction and fired at us," Durham told reporters. "He hit high on the wall just as we were trying to leave."
Nobody in her group was hit, she said.
Washington Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy Lanier told reporters that "active shooter" teams swarmed the navy yard within seven minutes of receiving the first alarm shortly after 8:15 a.m. Monday.
A suspect was killed after engaging in a "gun battle" with police, she said.
The sky was filled with police helicopters, some with sharpshooters. The U.S. Senate was shut down as a precaution and security was heightened at the Capitol and White House.
Dr. Janis Orlowsky, chief medical officer at the Washington Hospital Center, confirmed that three victims were taken to that hospital by helicopter and were in "critical condition" but were expected to survive.
One of the victims, a male police officer, was shot in the legs, she said.
Two others were female civilians. One was shot in the head and hand, another in the shoulder. She said the weapon was likely a semi-automatic because the victims had multiple gunshot wounds and they told staff that they heard shots in multiple succession.
The navy yards are located along the Potomac River, across from the Reagan National Airport, which was temporarily shut down after the shootings and then quickly reopened. The navy yard is a sprawling complex of buildings where 3,000 people work.

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators gave initial approval Monday to a council that would oversee volunteers who could be called into service in the event of a widespread emergency that overtaxed firefighters and emergency medical workers.
Volunteers under a Citizen Corps Council through the county Office of Emergency Services could check on senior citizens and those with special needs, man shelters, assist during evacuations, and do damage assessment among other tasks that need doing during emergencies but not necessarily by first responders.
The volunteers would not perform the duties of emergency medical technicians, firefighters or fire police.
Their first and primary goal would be to stay safe, said county Emergency Services Director Joseph M. Gilbert.
Creation of the council has the backing of the Emergency Services Board and the Fire Advisory Board, which see the program as a way to give relief to first responders in a big event such as an ice storm.
You can only be effective so long, said Joseph A. Finnegan, chairman of the Fire Advisory Board. These people will fill the void.
The Community Emergency Response Team could be a way for volunteers to fulfil a desire to help their community but not take on all the training requirements of a full-fledged firefighter or EMT, said Joseph P. Gallagher, also a member of the Fire Advisory Board.
Some legislators were not enthusiastic because volunteers would likely be covered under workers compensation, raising the countys liability.
The mission of the volunteers would be different from those of the Citizens Patrol put on hiatus a decade ago but the arguments against are the same, Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler said.
In the case of the Citizens Patrol which was directed at helping law enforcement a drawn-out legal battle over workers compensation benefits began when one of the volunteers died in a car accident.
Its a sad result, Mr. MacKinnon said. The liability is always there.
In the case of the community responders, the volunteers would not be covered by the county until they were officially activated and that would not happen often, Mr. Gilbert said. If they acted on their own, they would be treated as good samaritans on their own, he said.
Mr. MacKinnon also questioned whether the volunteers could meet the expectations of people who saw them in official attire and thought they would have more to offer.
The emergency teams were begun through the Federal Emergency Management Agency after Sept. 11, Mr. Gilbert said. St. Lawrence would become the 19th county in the state if the teams were formed.
The resolution was approved 11-3, with those in opposition Legislators Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon, Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, and Anthony J. Arquiett, D-Helena.
Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, said he might oppose the measure at the full board because of reservations about the liability issue.

The Plague of Doves (P.S.)by Louise Erdrich
Staff Pick
Darker than many of Louise Erdrich's other works, A Plague of Doves is the story of the unsolved murder of a North Dakota family that will haunt the reader long after the pages have ceased turning.
"At the heart of Louise Erdrich's incandescent novel stands a tree. Roots deep in the North Dakota soil....Ringed with mating and mayhem, friendship and betrayal, stories shared and secrets kept, this tree spreads its branches through the pages of Erdrich's book: from a gritty, colorful adventure of 19th-century town-site expeditioners one arctic winter to the rueful, darkly comic sexual explorations of a naive l970s teenager named (appropriately!) Evelina." Diana Postlethwaite, Ms. Magazine (read the entire Ms. Magazine review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Louise Erdrich's mesmerizing new novel, her first in almost three years, centers on a compelling mystery. The unsolved murder of a farm family haunts the small, white, off-reservation town of Pluto, North Dakota. The vengeance exacted for this crime and the subsequent distortions of truth transform the lives of Ojibwe living on the nearby reservation and shape the passions of both communities for the next generation. The descendants of Ojibwe and white intermarry, their lives intertwine; only the youngest generation, of mixed blood, remains unaware of the role the past continues to play in their lives.
Evelina Harp is a witty, ambitious young girl, part Ojibwe, part white, who is prone to falling hopelessly in love. Mooshum, Evelina's grandfather, is a seductive storyteller, a repository of family and tribal history with an all-too-intimate knowledge of the violent past. Nobody understands the weight of historical injustice better than Judge Antone Bazil Coutts, a thoughtful mixed blood who witnesses the lives of those who appear before him, and whose own love life reflects the entire history of the territory. In distinct and winning voices, Erdrich's narrators unravel the stories of different generations and families in this corner of North Dakota. Bound by love, torn by history, the two communities' collective stories finally come together in a wrenching truth revealed in the novel's final pages.
The Plague of Doves is one of the major achievements of Louise Erdrich's considerable oeuvre, a quintessentially American story and the most complex and original of her books.
"Erdrich's 13th novel, a multigenerational tour de force of sin, redemption, murder and vengeance, finds its roots in the 1911 slaughter of a farming family near Pluto, N.Dak. The family's infant daughter is spared, and a posse forms, incorrectly blames three Indians and lynches them. One, Mooshum Milk, miraculously survives. Over the next century, descendants of both the hanged men and the lynch mob develop relationships that become deeply entangled, and their disparate stories are held together via principal narrator Evelina, Mooshum Milk's granddaughter, who comes of age on an Indian reservation near Pluto in the 1960s and '70s and forms two fateful adolescent crushes: one on bad-boy schoolmate Corwin Peace and one on a nun. Though Evelina doesn't know it, both are descendants of lynch mob members. The plot splinters as Evelina enrolls in college and finds work at a mental asylum; Corwin spirals into a life of crime; and a long-lost violin (its backstory is another beautiful piece of the mosaic) takes on massive significance. Erdrich plays individual narratives off one another, dropping apparently insignificant clues that build to head-slapping revelations as fates intertwine and the person responsible for the 1911 killing is identified." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Mesmerizing.... With both impeccable comic timing and a powerful sense of the tragic, Erdrich continues to illuminate, in highly original style, 'the river of our existence.'" Booklist (starred review)
"To read Louise Erdrich's thunderous new novel is to leap headlong into the fiery imagination of a master storyteller." Miami Herald
"[Erdrich] has written what is arguably her most ambitious — and in many ways, her most deeply affecting — work yet." Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"Louise Erdrich's imaginative freedom has reached its zenith — The Plague of Doves is her dazzling masterpiece." Philip Roth
"Erdrich moves seamlessly from grief to sexual ecstasy, from comedy...to tragedy, from richly layered observations of nature and human nature to magical realism. She is less storyteller than medium." Los Angeles Times
"One can only marvel...at Erdrich's amazing ability to do what so few of us can — shape words into phrases and sentences of incomparable beauty that, then, pour forth a mesmerizing story." USA Today
"Mesmerizing... Erdrich ...communicate[s] the complexity and the mystery of human relationships." Booklist (Starred Review)
This bestselling work tells the quintessentially American story of the unsolved murder of a farm family that haunts the small, white town of Pluto, North Dakota, as well as the nearby Ojibwe reservation.
The unsolved murder of a farm family still haunts the white small town of Pluto, North Dakota, generations after the vengeance exacted and the distortions of fact transformed the lives of Ojibwe living on the nearby reservation.
Part Ojibwe, part white, Evelina Harp is an ambitious young girl prone to falling hopelessly in love. Mooshum, Evelina's grandfather, is a repository of family and tribal history with an all-too-intimate knowledge of the violent past. And Judge Antone Bazil Coutts, who bears witness, understands the weight of historical injustice better than anyone. Through the distinct and winning voices of three unforgettable narrators, the collective stories of two interwoven communities ultimately come together to reveal a final wrenching truth.

Betting on climate change
Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem. Efficient market theory states that the price in a free market should accurately reflect the aggregated information that is available, and so in 1990 economist Robin Hanson noted that we can turn the problem around: use the market as an aggregation mechanism to tell us what the odds are on any particular event. This, he claims, could be much more effective than relying on panels of government- (or self-)appointed experts and media pundits to predict the future, since the financial penalty would keep the incompetent away from the marketplace, and the real experts would be automatically rewarded for correcting any errors in the market prices. There is now a growing body of evidence in support of these theories, including for example the analysis of existing markets and results from a market which was set up specifically to investigate the idea further. Of course the market price does not exist in a vacuum: in practice, traders would perform calculations as I did above (but rather more carefully), and the market price would reflect their consensus. The market is a highly inclusive mechanism: rather than having to debate to the death, anyone who has an opinion can invest as much as they want (which will relate to their confidence), and in the long run the winners will drive out the losers. If I offer (and accept) bets on global cooling at 10:1 based on my rough calculation, someone who does a better job of estimation will probably be able to take money off me, earning a reward for their skill and effort.
The Foresight Exchange market is an internet-based game which runs an ideas futures market, covering a wide range of claims including a number of environmental issues. The basic betting mechanism is based on the concept of a pair of coupons labelled "Yes, claim X is true" and "No, claim X is false" (where X is a proposition whose truth is not yet known). These coupons can be bought and sold individually on the open market, and a pair of them can always be bought or redeemed for $1 from the bank. When the claim's truth is determined, the correct coupon is redeemed for $1 and the false coupon becomes worthless. The market price of the Y coupon is the market's estimate of the probability of the claim being ultimately proved true. Here are a couple of examples – indicating how confidently (or otherwise) the market predicted the re-elections of Clinton and Bush in 1996 and 2004 respectively.
The Foresight Exchange is a small market with a limited number of players, and is certainly not perfect – I presented a simple analysis in a poster at the EGU in April, and I have also discussed a couple of claims in more detail here and here. (These are a slightly different type of claim, where the payout of the Y coupon depends continuously on the value of a variable at a specified future time – such as the global mean temperature in 2030. The N coupon pays $1-Y as before.) As Hanson's theory predicts, by participating in the game, I have both improved the price on these claims (increasing market skill) and simultaneously increased my wealth (received a reward for my contribution). Although this small and non-serious market has noticeable inefficiency, a real money market could certainly hope to do better. So what are the drawbacks? It seems that there are are surprisingly few. Fears that rich vested interests could rig the market are generally misplaced: it would cost them a lot of money to do so, potentially much more than the price of influencing a few high-ranking experts. Robin Hanson's pages have a great deal of discussion about the various criticisms of the idea that have been offered, and also how the basic idea could be extended to cover a wide range of applications.

Looking for things for your kids to do over the summer? Do you want to learn to scuba dive or start a new activity?
The city of Watertowns Parks and Recreation Department is expanding the kinds of programs and activities it will be offering this summer, for children and adults.
On Monday, the Watertown City Council approved the new programs. It also agreed on a fee structure for the activities and programs.
The new programs are adult kickball and volleyball leagues, a boot camp exercise program for adults, horseback riding, family yoga, childrens Zumba, scuba diving lessons, a youth running club and a fishing clinic.
The offerings also include such standbys as swimming, golf and tennis lessons, T-ball, youth baseball and adult softball leagues. The citys three outdoor pools open June 24.
Parks and Recreation Superintendent Erin E. Gardner and her staff are still putting together the summer activities.
Were just excited to start off the season and offer things to do for the kids, she said.
Most of the activities will be held at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds off Coffeen Street. Some will begin later this month, but most of them will start in July, Mrs. Gardner said.
Kickball is something thats really popular in other communities, and I think will be here, she said.
She said she hopes 10 to 12 adult teams will sign up for kickball, which most likely will start in August and continue into the fall.
Her staff is hiring instructors for the new programs and arranging for start times. For more details about descriptions, age requirements and how to register, she suggested going to the Parks Departments website and Facebook.
As it has done for decades, the Parks Department is continuing a summer playground program, this year with four playgrounds and two rec centers opening June 24.
With a budget of $225,000, the Parks Department plans to hire about 48 summer seasonal employees. They include 24 to 30 lifeguards, 17 playground counselors and a person to handle athletic programs. It also hires instructors and coaches.
During Monday nights meeting, council members also finalized the fees. They were introduced in May but revamped on council members instructions because they thought some programs would cost too much. They also wanted city residents to pay less than those who live outside the city.
T-ball and youth baseball will continue to be free for city residents, while those living outside Watertown will have to pay $20. Swimming lessons will cost $5 for Watertown residents and $20 for children living outside the city.
The fees for golf and tennis lessons for everyone are going up. Tennis will increase from $5 to $10 for Watertown residents and to $30 for those who live outside the city. Golf lessons will increase from $5 to $20 for city residents and to $50 for non-city residents.
The fishing clinic and childrens Zumba will cost $15 for city residents and $35 for non-city residents; family yoga, $10 and $35; youth running club, $5 and $20; scuba diving, $20 and $60; exercise boot camp, $20 and $50, and horseback riding, $20 and $60.
Mrs. Gardner took over the department last year after it had gone through some major financial problems under the former management team. She runs the department with program manager Celia E. Cook.

Animal Services wishes to remind Carrollton animal owners to register pets with the City each year. Since proof of rabies vaccination is required with registration, it is convenient to register with the City when animals receive their shots.
Identification, convenience, and savings all come with a pet's City registration tag. A current City tag clearly shows the public that a pet has been vaccinated against rabies. Registered pets may also be quickly reunited with their owners at a lesser fee than those not currently registered.
To register by mail, send the rabies certificate and $5 per spayed or neutered pet or $20 per unaltered pet to Carrollton Animal Services or stop in for a tour of the new facility (2247 Sandy Lake Road). Also, for a limited time, stop by with a donation of $10 or more and receive a free t-shirt supporting the animals. For more information, call Animal Services at 972-466-3420 or visit cityofcarrollton.com/animalservices.

Long Sleeve Crew
I have spent a lot of time looking for a top that will wash nicely and keeps it fit. I have looked and bought many tops and been disappointed because I tuck them into my low rise slacks and when I bend over the top comes out. WELL THESE TOPS ARE A GREAT FABRIC AND WASH VERY NICELY AND ARE LONG ENOUGH THAT THEY DON'T COME OUT OF MY SLACKS AFTER I BEND OVER. LOVE THESE TOPS! Just wish they had more fun colors. I work in airconditioning, therefore I wanted summer colors. But, I am still happy with these tops! Did I mention I love these tops?
Schererville In
Long sleeve crewneck soft
This tee shirt is so very soft and comfortable, a bit fitted for nice layering without the bulk. It is like wearing pajama top to work.
Lombard, IL
long sleeve tee
always liked these shirts as they fit well and hold their shape. Just the right weight to keep warm...not the flimsy material of many other shirts.
Long Sleeve Crewneck Tee
The long sleeve crewneck tee is terrific!! Soft cotton material and the navy color is great!!
Lake Shore, MN
Not crazy about the Lycra
The color (peppermint) of this top is great and the fit is as sized. It's just that I'm not a real Lycra fan. Even @ just 6%, it's clingy in the sleeves, not as on the model's photo; and I have slim arms.
Montrose, CO
Yea and Nay
I was not sure how to "grade" this shirt. I ordered it in 3 colors. The fuschia color fits great. The peppermint did not fit well and the silver was too scratchy.
Memphis, TN
Great Shirt
Did not wear shirt yet, but know it's great. I tried it on and it's a perfect fit for me. I washed it and it did not shrink, stretch,or fade.
Great wardrobe addition
I have this in the rosy cranberry color, which is very nice and rich. The fabric is a nice medium weight with plenty of stretch.
Trim fit, long length
I ordered several colors, which seemed to vary in size, despite all being marked "large." They seemed a little to very large out of the bag, BUT they all shrunk a lot in the dryer (even on low heat). I would consider ordering up. I found the sleeves and shoulders to be especially snug. Still, they look flattering. There's lots of spandex to shrink and re-stretch.
Bargain Hunter
Rocky Mountains, CO
I LOVE this little t-shirt! It's great, comfy and washes well. I have one in teal and red...and ordering another in white! Perfect for casual dressing!
Durham, NC
Tighter, Darker than Expected
I just received three different colors of these (emerald, rich red, heather smoke) today. I found the fit to be a little tighter than I expected, especially in the arms. The colors are also darker than they seem. This is not quite what I expected, but I think they are all still wearable as they are.That said, I think if I buy more in other colors, I will order the next size up. I do not like my clothes to fit quite this tight!
Johnstown, PA
The best tops ever
I have loved these cotton/spandex blend tops for years and in every season. The quality and fit is fantastic. I love the length - long enough to be comfortable untucked without riding up. I love all the colors, but can't live without the black! Last Spring I tried the ballet-neck 3/4 sleeve tops, and they were perfect, too. Absolute value for the very reasonable price.
Hillsdale, NJ
Just what I was looking for
I have been looking for long- or 3/4 sleeve crewnecks for wardrobe basics. For something so simple, it has actually been a long search! I found these, and they are just great-- the sleeve are long enough so I don't need to push them up, the crewneck is a crewneck, and the shirt is long enough in the body for me (this has been an issue with some shirts being TOO SHORT). I have the chocolate & the grey, and will be purchasing more colors. Thank you for a well-made top at a very reasonable price!!
I just received the white and the black. These tops are good quality and amazing fit. Love the strech also. Since I just got them, I have not washed them yet so I don't know how they will launder, but I am hoping for the best. The white is a little thin, I would suggest wearing a white cami underneath as I plan to do when I wear it. I may order in other colors as the fall / winter season progresses.

Video: Beer City USA - Mark Sellars Interview
Video: Free Beer & Hot Wings - Credit for Beer City USA
(WZZM) - Grand Rapids did it again!
We clicked our way to the top in a big way and have retained the city's title as Beer City USA for another year, easily out-tweeting and Facebooking other cities up for nomination.
According to Examiner.com, which ran the poll and has created the whole event, Grand Rapids tallied 27,005 votes. In second place, Kalamazoo, with 11,150. Asheville, NC, which tied with Grand Rapids last year, came in third at 10,075.
Ann Arbor came in 4th at 847 votes.
Michigan tallied over 29,000 voters. North Carolina was second with just over 4,000.
This week is Craft Beer Week across the country.
Kalamazoo Mayor Bobby Hopewell released a statement saying, "I've already spoken to Mayor Heartwell, and I will be going up to Grand Rapids to buy him a beer in celebration of the win. We are discussing how we can continue the larger story about West Michigan as an amazing craft beer region."
We could not have asked for a better outcome. Regardless of the order, having both West Michigan cities at the top of the Beer City USA poll is telling of our great beer culture and the amazing boom of craft beer.
We are looking forward to our Celebration in Kalamazoo tonight at the Beer exchange as the Kickoff to American Craft Beer week and to Bell's Tap takeover at the central City Tap House.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team finally grabbed control of their Midwest Conference game against Monmouth College in the final five minutes and the result was a 78-64 victory on Saturday in Flood Arena.
The game was close throughout the opening half with five ties and the largest lead belonging to Beloit at 32-26 with 5:10 left. The Bucs led 36-32 at the break.
The tight play was still evident in the second half. The Buccaneers held the lead but couldn't shake the Fighting Scots. The final 5:25 proved the difference as Beloit closed the game on a 15-6 run, fueled by eight points from Steve McAfee.
McAfee finished with a career-high 24 points while Tyler Butke added 19. James Lazarcik had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds as Beloit won for the fifth straight time in the series.
The Buccaneers also got their shooting eye back, hitting 55.8% of their shots from the field, their third straight home game shooting 55% or better.
Beloit heads back on the road Tuesday night at Ripon College. Game time is at 7:00 p.m.

|Ashe entrepreneur faces assault charges
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:38
47-year-old entrepreneur Eric Hunter of Jefferson was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill last week.
Two men, James Sturgill of Crumpler, and Brandon Joe Dillard of Jefferson, both members of a construction company, were reportedly looking at lots Hunter allegedly had for sale when Hunter confronted them. Hunter pulled a rifle from his vehicle and, according to reports, fired at the two men, who promptly fled into the woods. According to reports, the rifle used had a scope. Hunter was released on a $50,000 bond. Hunter is known locally as the co-founder and chief executive officer of Next Safety, a company that produces a respirator that theoretically protects the wearer from toxins in the air. Hunter sold 477 acres on Phoenix Mountain last year for the development of a ski slope, expected to open in 2008.

As we finish filling out our brackets ŌĆō thankfully there are some pools that have chosen to ignore the ŌĆ£First FourŌĆØ ŌĆō we do so keeping an eye on Providence CollegeŌĆÖs ongoing search for the next menŌĆÖs basketball coach. Some names make sense; others leave a lot to be desired.
With rumor mill in full regale, we present the case for one Larry Brown. No, this isnŌĆÖt as far-fetched as it may seem.
Brown may be 70 (he turns 71 in September), but age shouldnŌĆÖt automatically dismiss his candidacy. He is the very definition of a basketball lifer, and a very good coach to boot. The fact he took Kansas as a sixth seed all the way the NCAA championship in 1988 furthers this argument, even though many remember Danny ManningŌĆÖs tourney exploits on that memorable Jayhawk outfit.
We stay on 1988, which was the last year Brown coached at the college level. Being away from the game for over 20 years shouldnŌĆÖt knock him down a peg or to in the eyes of PC athletic director Bob Driscoll. Brown has been lauded as both a student and a teacher of the game, two traits that donŌĆÖt diminish with age.
Brown last patrolled the sidelines as recent as 2010, when he coached the NBAŌĆÖs Charlotte Bobcats. He was born in Brooklyn, so there are the Northeast ties that are critical to running a program like Providence.
If BrownŌĆÖs age still scares you, think about this. ThereŌĆÖs a reason why assistant coaches are in place, to do the necessary heavy lifting when it comes to feeling out recruits. Brown has enough name recognition already, which would allow him to swoop in at the very end and serve as a potential dealbreaker.
What would it cost to land someone of BrownŌĆÖs caliber? More importantly, would Providence be willing to meet his salary demands? Driscoll is on record in saying heŌĆÖs more interested in winning games than the press conference. Hiring Brown would allow the A.D. to do both.

Felician Community Shows its Colors During Green Out Event
The Felician community proudly wore its colors when students, faculty and staff filled the bleachers for the College's men's and women's basketball games on January 29 at the Job Gymnasium on the Rutherford campus.
"Green Out" night, which garnered twice the attendance of the average regular season Golden Falcons home games, included special events organized by student volunteers.
"The Department of Athletics was excited to host the Green Out event," said Ben DiNallo Jr., Director of Athletics at Felician College. "The energy in our gymnasium was tremendous and I know our student-athletes were appreciative. It is so exciting to see our college community rally and support our student-athletes."
Felician College President Dr. Anne Prisco was one of the many enthusiastic supporters at the event.
"Athletics plays such an important role in the college experience, and this was a fabulous way to bring the entire community together," said Dr. Prisco.
Special events included a fundraiser to benefit the National Make-A-Wish Foundation. Members of the softball team manned the bake sale table, while the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee collected donations at the door.
The women's game halftime festivities featured an intrasquad contest of the fifth-grade Rutherford travel basketball team.
During the halftime of the men's game, the Athletics department honored senior women's soccer standout Allie Couzo as the NJAIAW Woman of the Year for Felician College.
"What a wonderful honor for Allie, who has shown excellence on the playing field and in the classroom. I'm so proud of her and of all of Felician's student-athletes who are shining examples of the College's Franciscan tradition," said Dr. Prisco.

My poxy bmw wont start, it turns over real slow after sitting on the drive over night. load tested the battery and its fine, thought there may be a drain on the batt so put my dvm in circuit and once the car goes to sleep the current drawn is around 12mA.
It starts fine when jumped off another batt and then is OK all day until its left for more than about 8 hours and then back to the same old problem.
I think i need to get hold of a giant DC Ammeter, my DC tongs are not big enough to fit round the Battery cable so I dont know what current is being drawn when I try to start the car
BTW BMW want £200 + vat just to look at it for an hour ((
06 January 2013 03:06 PM
It definitely sounds like a sick battery to me (not an automotive engineer, so no guarantees).
Current required for starting could be anything from 120 Amps upwards, depending on the engine configuration and the ambient temperature.
Another thing to try looking at is what the battery voltage reads while trying to start. A friend of mine found that his battery voltage under starting load was too low for the engine management unit or the fuel pump to work (around 7v if I remember the conversation correctly). New battery, bosh, sorted.
Ian Gordon, MIET CITP MBCS
06 January 2013 05:27 PM
well looks like I might have to cough up for BMW to look at it, been playing with it most of the day on and off and I am not really any further forward apart from strange things now happen when the battery is discharged, things like when I turn the key with a batt voltage of below 9V the head lights come on by themselves and the central locking tried to lock me in the car
I think I have more than just a sick battery, more like a 4 year old car that is about to die
06 January 2013 09:06 PM
I would agree with Ian, it sounds like the battery to me too. Winter is a classic time for finding out a weak battery as they struggle to hold their charge overnight in colder temperatures.The only related thing is if the alternator circuit isn't working and the battery isn't charging properly.
If you measure the voltage across the battery with the engine running you should get 14V or above for a good charge.
If the battery voltage dips below the threshold points of the various control units then they can start to do silly things. So your lighting control and central locking may be resetting themselves and giving you the impression there is something else wrong.
In what circumstances are you measuring 9V, that is low if it is across the battery without much load on it. You also said the car is 4 years old, how old is the battery and what guarantee is with it. 4 year life is reasonable for some makes of battery.
For any other vehicle diagnostics the first thing we do is plug into the diagnostics socket and read of the fault codes if there are any, that will point you in the direction of faulty sensors and control units etc. You will need the appropriate code reader and cable to match the type and year for your car to ensure the right protocol is used. You then need a conversion table to decipher the code. Unfortunately all my gear is Ford based so probably won't be much use.
You could try ebay if you don't know a local garage that would lend you a unit or run the diagnostics for you.

A simple possibility.
Make sure that you do not have high resistance joints between the battery connections and the battery. Easy check is to measure the voltage during attempted starting both across the battery and across the terminals. It's just that your battery should last much longer than 4 years. (My Mazda MX-5 battery lasted about 11 years - and thats only a small unit).
Be careful not to disconnect the battery, that may have implcations with radio code, electric windows and possibly power steering (if like some Mazda's, its electric.
Good Luck!
