|Long Ball Lifts ASU Over Tennessee
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Tuesday, 12 April 2011 21:40
Three home runs in the first three innings of the game provided all the scoring Appalachian State University baseball needed in a 6-5 victory over Tennessee on Tuesday evening at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
After going 19 years in between wins over Tennessee, Appalachian (19-15) claimed its second-straight victory over the traditional college-baseball stalwart and moved to 3-2 since 2008 versus opponents from the powerful Southeastern Conference.
ASU, which had only 14 home runs through 33 games coming in, matched a season high with its three blasts in the first three stanzas. Daniel Kassouf (Lexington, N.C./North Davidson) started the early long-ball frenzy with a monster two-run bomb off UT starter Jon Reed in the top of the first inning. Kassouf's team-leading fifth homer of the year cleared the stands and parking lot beyond Lindsey Nelson Stadium's left field wall and landed on a bordering street, an estimated 425-450 feet away from home plate.
After Tennessee (19-14) evened the score at 2-2 in the bottom of the first, Trey Holmes (Rockwell, N.C./East Rowan) quickly broke the tie when he launched a three-run homer to right field that gave the Mountaineers a 5-2 advantage.
Zack Briggs (Lexington, N.C./Central Davidson) got into the act in the top of the third when he led off the inning with a solo shot that hit a third of the way up a light pole in left center field. Briggs' blast not only stretched Appalachian's lead to 6-2 but also extended his hitting streak to 14 games, ASU's longest of the season and the longest current streak in the Southern Conference.
The Vols cut the Mountaineer lead to 6-5 with a single run in the fifth inning and two more in the seventh but the ASU bullpen trio of Will Helms (Charlotte, N.C./Providence), David Port (Dunwoody, Ga./Dunwoody) and Taylor Miller (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield) turned in three scoreless innings to close out the victory. The Vols brought the winning run to the plate with two outs in the ninth but Miller fanned Andrew Toles, who had two of UT's eight hits, to end the game and secure his seventh save of the season.
Starting pitcher Lawrence Pardo (Miami, Fla./Christopher Columbus) worked five strong innings on the mound for the Mountaineers. The freshman southpaw surrendered three runs on four hits and struck out three over his five innings of work to earn the second marquee victory of his young career. Combined with a win over No. 20 Miami (Fla.) on Feb. 25, Pardo's first two collegiate triumphs have come against programs that have appeared in a total of 27 College World Series.
Kassouf (2-for-4) recorded the only multi-hit game for the Mountaineers, who tallied seven hits against six UT pitchers.
The loss was Tennessee's eighth in a row.
Appalachian begins a five-game homestand on Wednesday night when it hosts Gardner-Webb at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.

Made from persimmon, which is known for its density, durability and high impact resistance, these sticks produce a full-bodied and slightly darker sound than other wood. The density also gives added power, allowing the player to avoid overplaying. Length = 16.81.

Comments about Vic Firth Tim Genis Concert Snare Stick:
Very nice sticks! Lovely crisp sound and just the perfect weight! The snare can be heard very well and becomes crisp and clear. Perfect for any orchestra or symphony!
Comments about Vic Firth Tim Genis Concert Snare Stick:
Even though I'm mostly a PRO-MARK guy, I must say that these sticks are very well balanced and easy to control. The perssimon wood gives a huge round sound and the big tip gives a dark and at the same time crispy attack that's fantastic in the concert hall.

Mission Statement
The HEO Forum is an organization of professionals in the Higher Education Officer series at Hunter College whose aim is to enhance the welfare and profession of all HEOs at the College.
Why were we created?
The HEO Forum was formed during the Spring 1995 semester following the declaration of fiscal exigency by CUNY and the non-reappointment of 18 HEOs, based solely on the "financial ability" clause and prior to the establishment of the Hunter College Retrenchment Committee. Its purpose is to represent actively an essential, yet diverse segment of the Hunter College community.
We are NOT a union nor are we affiliated with any organization or chapter.
What do we do?
Many HEOs are involved in the decision and policy-making aspects of their unit, and therefore have a hand in shaping the destiny of the College. Over the last five years HEOs have been appointed to many college-wide committees, such as the searches for senior administrators and directors, review of programs, Middle States Accreditation, the Strategic Plan, Campus Climate, and honorary degrees. HEO representatives sit on the Faculty Personnel and Budget Committee, the Senate, and the HEO Screening Committee.
The HEO Steering Committee meet with fellow HEOs every semester to discuss matters of concern (i.e. construction, payroll, work orders). We also meet with members of the administration to relay these concerns.
What can we do for YOU?
Complete the online form and let us know what you want to learn more about.

Crowdfunding in the EU Pubblicato il: 03/10/2013
- Termine:
- 31/12/2013.
The European Commission has today launched a consultation inviting stakeholders to share their views about crowdfunding.
The European Commission has today launched a consultation inviting stakeholders to share their views about crowdfunding: its potential benefits, risks, and the design of an optimal policy framework to untap the potential of this new form of financing. Whereas many crowdfunding campaigns are local in nature, others would benefit from easier access to financing within a single European market.
But to make sure crowdfunding is not just a momentary trend that fades away, but rather a sustainable source of financing for new European projects, certainsafeguards are needed, in particular to ensure people's trust. The ultimate objective of this consultation is to gather data about the needs of market participants and to identify the areas in which there is a potential added value in EU action to encourage the growth of this new industry, either through facilitative, soft-law measures or legislative action. The consultation covers all forms of crowdfunding, ranging from donations and rewards to financial investments.

Attracted to the slower pace of life, families with young children are often choosing now to build houses on the outskirts of the city along the outer stretches of Ives, Holcomb and Gotham streets.
Builders said Wednesday that a 3-mile stretch of Ives Street Road south from Immaculate Heart Central School to the intersection with Route 232 has become an increasingly popular area for families to build homes over the past five years. Houses continue to be built on vacant parcels, which are swamped with for sale signs that list phone numbers of real estate agents.
A construction crew was busy framing a custom-built two-story house Wednesday morning on Ives Street Road, about a quarter-mile south of the Holcomb Street intersection. DP Builders, Chaumont, has been building the house since August and plans to complete the job this fall, said Dylan M. Piche, who owns the small construction firm. The three-bedroom house is being built for a Watertown couple with two teenage daughters.
They decided to move here because its outside the city and away from the hustle and bustle, said Mr. Piche, who said he thinks houses will continue to be built in the neighborhood. He said he hopes this project will lure to the business more families who are interested in building houses.
I think more people are now interested in moving outside the city, and I think Ives Street is going to continue to be popular, Mr. Piche said.
Located about a half-mile outside the city limits, this house will receive sewer service from the town of Watertown, Mr. Piche said. Because the house is within a privately owned water district commonly called the Lettiere Tract the owner will buy water directly from Southside Water Inc., Clayton. Owned by James V. Lettiere Jr., the company charges households within the district an average of about $1,000 a year. Quarterly rates paid by the 108 households in the district are based on the cost of buying water from the city of Watertown and operating expenses the company incurs.
Although they pay more for water, homeowners outside the city limits have the benefit of not paying city property taxes.
Signs of construction activity are common in this neighborhood. Farther south near Route 232, a large two-story house with a three-bay garage is being built at 18511 Ives Street Road. Bruce L. Roggie, owner of a Castorland construction firm, said his crew began building the custom house in June and will finish the project this fall. The house is being built for a Watertown couple with a teenage daughter, he said. The couple bought the parcel a few years ago. A man who owns the neighboring lot also has approached Mr. Roggie about building a house there, he said. Houses this far outside the city have underground wells and septic tanks, he said, because they dont have access to municipal infrastructure.
Mr. Roggie, who pointed to a property for sale sign across the street, said he expects the demand for new houses here to continue.
Most of the houses on these lots out here have been built over the past 10 years, the 62-year-old said.
Within the city limits on outer Holcomb Street is a four-bedroom modular house bought by Joseph A. Biccum, a 30-year-old Watertown resident. He purchased the house in April from G&I Homes, one of the states largest dealers of modular homes. Mr. Biccum and his wife are raising 5- and 6-year-old daughters and a newborn son. They wanted to build a house outside of the downtown area, Mr. Biccum said, and this quiet neighborhood attracted them.
Its still like living in the city out here, but being outside it at the same time, he said.
On outer Gotham Street, Cape Vincent-based construction firm Steven J. Hall Inc. is building two spacious houses for families. Construction of the homes began in early April and should be completed by winter, said Zachary B. Aubertine, a 29-year-old construction worker.
They liked the location out here, he said.

Around this time all over the world, LGBT and Allied people celebrate Pride with special festivals, parades, and events. These celebrations happen each year to commemorate something called the Stonewall Rebellion - viewed as a turning point for LGBT equality.
The Stonewall Rebellion was a series of riots - spontaneous, violent conflicts between lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allied people and police, that took place for several days beginning in June 1969 at the Stonewall Inn in New York City. This was one of the first times that LGBTA people fought back against overt discrimination and violence in the United States. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion.
Forty years ago, there were no out LGBT elected officials, no laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, no Will and Grace, no L Word, no LOGO Channel, no civil unions, no controversy over gay marriage (because there was no gay marriage), and no campus-based LGBT Centers anywhere in the country. (The first campus-based center came along two years after the events at the Stonewall Inn. A little pop quiz - anyone know at which institution of higher education this first occurred?)
Though there were other major clashes, as well as peaceful demonstrations, that took place in American cities before Stonewall, Stonewall is usually cited as the birth of the modern LGBT rights movement.
Celebrate Pride 2009 by learning more about pre-Stonewall events as well as the Stonewall Rebellion. The film "Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria" (shown on campus as part of the "Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen" film series) can be previewed here. The film documents events that took place in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood in 1966. And for a bit of east coast history, Philadelphia had been observing "Annual Reminder Day" each year for several years before Stonewall. The city of Philadelphia has erected a historic marker commemorating the Annual Reminder Day and its organizers, and has a special section of its tourism website devoted to Philadelphia LGBT history.
To learn more about Stonewall, the program In the Life has created a special podcast episode commemorating the 40th anniversary of Stonewall. Also this year, a plaque listing the names of 40 current day people engaged in the continuing quest for full LGBT equality will be placed at the Stonewall Inn next week.
To find a Pride event closest to where ever you are this summer, consult an online pride calendar. And no matter where you are this month, happy Pride! Have pride in who you are, in our communities, and in all that has been accomplished over the last forty years!

|Former Mountaineers in the NFL: Week 9
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Thursday, 08 November 2012 15:00
Eight former Appalachian State University football student-athletes are currently in the National Football League and six are members of their teams' active 53-
man rosters. Below is a look at how the former Mountaineers fared in Week 9 of NFL action:
WR Armanti Edwards (Carolina Panthers) hauled in a career-long 82-yard pass from QB Cam Newton early in the fourth quarter led to a Panthers' touchdown and helped seal a 21-13 victory over the Washington Redskins.
DB Corey Lynch (San Diego Chargers) recorded one tackle and sealed the Chargers' 31-13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs when he recovered an onside kick late in the fourth quarter last Thursday night.
RB Travaris Cadet (New Orleans Saints) was featured as the main kickoff and punt returner in New Orleans' 28-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Cadet recorded three kickoff returns averaging 26.7 yards, with his longest being a 30-yard return in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Cadet broke a 45-yard burst, but was negated when the Saints were called for holding. Cadet also notched five rushing yards on one carry.
DB DeAndre Presley (Miami Dolphins) saw action as a kickoff returner during the Miami Dolphins' 23-20 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Presley's only kickoff return was nine yards deep into the endzone and called for a touchback.
WR Brian Quick (St. Louis Rams) and OL Dan Kilgore (San Francisco 49ers) were on their respective bye weeks and will return to action in Week 10.
DE Jason Hunter (Denver Broncos) and LB D.J. Smith (Green Bay Packers) remain on their respective teams' injured reserve lists after suffering season-ending injuries.

By JERRY B. ANDERSONPrice
Sometimes while traveling I listen to various radio talk shows.
Last Saturday evening happened to be one of those occasions, and I listened for about five minutes then turned the program off when the host accused President Bush of lying about the terrorist situation to lead us into war with Iraq. No one wants war, but that accusation is itself a worse misrepresentation than the one he is laying at the feet of our elected representative, the Commander in Chief.
So exactly what is a lie? I checked with my American Heritage Dictionary and found that to lie is "to present false information with the intention of deceiving." I have at my fingertips the report of over 600 pages by the commission that was appointed to investigate the failures in intelligence at the time the country entered into the war on terrorism. They investigated everything that was in the hands of Congress, the White House, and other branches of government. The commission found that there were some errors in the intelligence that was gathered indicating that Saddam was interested in obtaining nuclear material. That could be called "false information." If that source was used by President Bush with the intention of deceiving, then that would certainly qualify as a lie.
If President Bush lied, then we also need to look at his accomplice liars. Practically every politician since 1992 to the present time has voted for resolutions demanding that Saddam stop his building of weapons of mass destruction.
Saddam Hussein was probably the most dangerous weapon of mass destruction all by himself. If someone wants to kill others, it doesn't take a nuclear bomb to do it. Saddam killed and tortured thousands with many kinds of weapons. He even used cleavers and axes to sever fingers and hands. The whole world knew that he was one of the chief terrorists. Senators and representative voted on numerous occasions to support President Clinton in his token attack of Iraq.
You will recognize this quote from the Democratic Platform as being given during the hard fought political campaigns before President Bush was elected.
"In Iraq, we are committed to working with our international partners to keep Saddam Hussein boxed in, and we will work to see him out of power. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have stood up to Saddam Hussein time and time again. As President, Al Gore will not hesitate to use America's military might against Iraq when and where it is necessary."
If President Bush lied, then we honestly have to say that he had a lot of company. We have to include all of the Congress, the CIA, FBI, the United Nations, the intelligence study commission, and many sources of intelligence from other countries. They were all acting on the same information, and I believe that it is hard to deny that Saddam Hussein was a real threat to the peace of the world.

NEWPORT - Green Mountain Power (GMP) has reached a settlement agreement with local journalist Chris Braithwaite.
GMP will pay Braithwaite $22,500 to cover his legal expenses for the defense of the criminal case he faced as a result of an alleged trespass onto GMP property. That case was dismissed.
Braithwaite's civil suit against GMP will be dismissed with prejudice. GMP says this is the quickest resolution to the case and is not admitting any wrongdoing.
BURLINGTON – One of 13 defendants charged in federal court with contributing to the operation of a meth lab in Island Pond has been sentenced.
Kevin Dodge, 45, was ordered to serve to 33 months in a federal prison for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance.
United States District Judge William K. Sessions III, also ordered that Dodge serve three years supervised release after his incarceration ends. In addition, Dodge agreed to forfeit $5,000 in lieu of forfeiture of a vehicle used in the conspiracy.
COVENTRY - Coventry voters will be asked at Town Meeting if they want to have their own fire department. If they say yes, the town will be asked to approve a budget of $515,000. If they do, the department already has a crew. Local residents are ready and willing to man the pumps for Coventry.
The money includes constructing a building and equipping the department.
IRASBURG – The Irasburg Fire Chief says it is time for a new fire truck. The current 1984 pumper truck needs approximately $84,000 in repairs to bring it up to the required standards. The new truck is estimated to cost up to $225,000.
Four dealers are in a bidding war over the truck, Fire Chief Robin Beaton said Tuesday. The town has not had good luck with purchasing used trucks in the past, Beaton said. A used truck would cost about $180,000 and could be without a warranty or near the end of it, and Beaton is worried about spending on repairs, as the town has in the past.
NEWPORT–It has been a little while since the UCA boys have hosted a home play-off game, and after a season that left the team with a 14-6 record, the third ranked Crusaders are more than ready to welcome South Royalton to the North Country gymnasium on Wednesday evening.
"We are obviously excited at the chance to start the play-offs with a home game," said UCA coach Tony DeLaBruere. "Everybody is calm right now, and we need to keep doing what we have been doing and when we relax on the court we definitely have better success."

My lab studies coronavirus pathogenesis. We use murine coronavirus, mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) infection of mice as a model system for the study of: 1) acute viral encephalitis; 2) chronic demyelinating diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and 3) virus-induced hepatitis. We have the important tools of a well-developed animal model system and two reverse genetic systems with which to manipulate the viral genome. Human coronaviruses are primarily respiratory viruses, and include the common cold viruses OC43 and 229E as well as the emerging viruses MERS and SARs that cause severe and life threatening diseases. We are beginning to study human coronavirus interactions with respiratory tract cells. Our long-term goal is to elucidate the viral and cellular determinants of coronavirus tropism and pathogenesis in the brain, the liver and the lung. Much of our current work focuses on coronavirus-encoded antagonists of type I interferon, specifically virus-encoded phosphodiesterase that antagonize the OAS-RNase L pathway. Another direction in our lab is the study of the role of inflammasome related cytokines in viral clearance as well as both acute and chronic MHV induced disease.
Currently we are carrying out the following studies:
1. Virus-encoded phosphodiesterases (PDE), that act as type I interferon antagonists. The MHV ns2 gene encodes a phosphodiesterase activity that specifically cleaves 2-5A, the activator of Ribonuclease (RNase) L, a potent antiviral response induced by type I interferon and infection. Homologous proteins with RNase L antagonist activates are also expressed by some other coronaviruses, toroviruses, other members of the coronavirus superfamily as well as type A rotaviruses, that cause severe gastrointestinal infections of children. Activation of RNase is cell type specific and most most robust in myeloid cells and antagonism of RNase L is required for the induction of hepatitis by MHV. We are currently investigating the mechanisms underlying activation of this pathway and antagonism by virus induced phosphodiesterase and their role in pathogenesis.
2. Human coronaviruses and RNase L antagonism. A group of other group 2a Betacorovaviruses encode ns2 homologs that we have recently found to have phosphodiesterase activity. We are characterizing these PDEs now and beginning to investigate a possible role for RNase L antagonism in the respiratory tract, the major target of most human coronaviruses including the lethal, emerging pathogen SARS and MERS.
2. Inflammasome associated cytokines and MHV acute and chronic disease pathogenesis. We are investigating the roles of the two inflammasome related cytokines IL-1 an IL-18 in coronavirus pathogenesis. This includes understanding their roles in protection against and contribution to acute encephalitis and hepatitis and in addition a possible role in the chronic demyelinating disease.
3. Role of receptor in MHV entry, spread and pathogenesis. The only known receptor for MHV is the carcinoembryonic antigen protein, CEACAM 1. However, the highly neurovirulent MHV-JHM strain spreads cell to cell in the absence of the expression of this receptor. Using transgenic CEACAM 1 deficient mice (ceacam 1a -/-), we have found that JHM can replicate and cause CNS disease and mortality in the absence of viral receptor. We are using a selection of MHV mutants and tropism variants in combination with primary cells derived from wild type and ceacam 1a-/- mice to elucidate the mechanism of viral neuron to neuron spread and the role of receptor independent spread in disease. We also plan to discover alternate receptors used by MHV in the absence of ceacam1a.
Rotation Projects
1. Coronavirus RNase L antagonists: Investigation of the mechanism by which MHV ns2 as well as human coronavirus ns2 homologs inhibit the oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)-ribonuclease (RNase) L interferon stimulated anti-viral pathway. This includes understanding the contributions of host OAS and RNase L gene expression, host interferon response as well as virus encoded phosphodiesterase in the activation and antagonism of RNase L. Projects also include investigation of activation of the OAS-RNase L pathway in myeloid cells versus other cell types and how this impacts on pathogenesis. These projects involve studies of virus in primary cell types as well as in vivo experiments in mice and involve carrying out a wide variety of techniques, including viral pathogenesis, cell culture, cloning, in vitro protein expression and real time qPCR.
2. Mechanisms of MHV neurovirulence. Investigation of the roles of IL-1 and IL-18 in MHV pathogenesis and clearance (comparing effects in the brain and liver) as well as virus induced demyelination. This includes comparison of viral replication and clearance during infection of IL-1R and IL-18R knockout mice with C57/Bl6 wild type mice and the mechanisms underlying difference between pathgoenesis of wild type an knockout mice. This project includes cell culture, infections of mice, isolation of immune cells, flow cytometry as well as Western blots.

Rita Carlson, Psychology
Rita CarlsonPsychology Student
Rita Carlson worked in law enforcement, as a sheriff's deputy and dispatcher for 20 years.
During that time she saw many forms of human ill and misery. "I did a lot of work with child abuse and sexual assaults," she says. "I worked on our hostage negotiation team, patrol investigations, and as a school resource officer for a while."
There were rewarding aspects to all the assignments for her, "but I found a great deal of satisfaction in being able to sit down and work with someone, to work constructively to improve their situation and make it better for everybody," she says.
That's why, after she retired, she wanted to become a therapist. "I still want to help people, including other law enforcement officers and military personnel, and their families, to cope with the trauma that can have such a devastating impact on many people," she says.
Rita's sure that with her law enforcement experiences – everything from interviewing survivors to counseling students to crisis incident negotiations – she'll have a lot to offer people looking to keep their lives on track. "That's what I wanted to do with the rest of my life," she says. "Get a license and make a difference."
She spent a long time looking for the right program. "I was really looking for a program that would allow me not just to look at mainstream psychology and be ready for licensure, but to look at alternative approaches to healing and that allowed spirituality to be a part of it," she says.
When she found Saybrook, she knew it was the one for her. "I saw that the professors really care and were really involved," she said. "I looked at a lot of other programs, even full time residential programs, but I didn't see the same kind of contact and support in them that I was seeing at Saybrook."
She joined Saybrook's PsyD program, while working full time in the chaplain's office of the Nevada National Guard, and admits that she found graduate school "a big adjustment." But it's a welcome one.
"It's been just a great experience," she says. "The professors have been very responsive, I love the humanistic approach we take, I have been very pleased. In fact, I've actually recommended Saybrook to a number of people … including my daughter, who started this fall in Saybrook's Master's program."

Shred that Hollywood line with no fear, soaking in the cheers from the lift, and get even radder on your next lap—go ahead and give the people what they want, you've got the Vans Encore Boa Women's Snowboard Boot backing you up. Designed to offer a perfect fit and all-mountain shredability, the Encore comes with a pull-tab Internal Web Harness liner closure and a BOA Coiler lacing system that provides a perfect, pressure-point-free fit with the twist of a knob, so you don't waste valuable daylight fiddling with your laces. The TriFit-X Thermal liner is heat-moldable, letting you dial in the fit even more precisely, and a dual-density EVA V2 footbed absorbs shocks and impacts without getting stinky, thanks to airflow perforations and an anti-odor treatment.

It is generally assumed that telling friends and family about your current goals is beneficial. A great deal of research has shown that when people explicitly state their intentions, they are more likely to follow through. This might be for a number of reasons including the need for self-consistency and the benefits of social support.
However, a recent investigation showed that publicizing your goals may actually lead to a lower likelihood of working toward them. In 4 studies, Peter Gollwitzer and colleagues (2009) asked people to report how important certain goals were to them. These responses were then turned into the experimenter who read them over (making them socially known) or set it aside without looking at them (making them private). Following this, the students completed tasks that were related to their goals. In all studies, they found that while both groups were made up of people strongly committed to their goals, it was people who kept their goals private that were more likely to actually engage in behaviors that were consistent with their intentions.
This finding, while somewhat surprising, is actually consistent with work done by classic theorists such as Kurt Lewin. Namely, the act of stating one's intentions publicly is symbolic and creates a premature feeling of success, leading people to feel as if they're already on their way to achieving their goals. In turn, this false sense of accomplishment makes people less likely to engage in the necessary behaviors for achieving those goals. And with this, I'm off to work on some of my own goals, none of which I can or should tell you about.
Does announcing your goals help you succeed?

Rumors of the death of the "tablet" have been highly exaggerated. There were those who predicted smartphone-tablet hybrids like the Samsung Galaxy Note wouldn't find a market. Then Samsung goes and sells 5 million of them in less than five months. Well on their way to meeting there 10 million unit goal for 2012, it's a good thing Samsung didn't listen to the naysayers.
Protect your Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note form the hustle and bustle of everyday life with the latest Samsung Galaxy S3 accessories.
According to a new report from market research firm ABI, Samsung's Galaxy Note has started a new trend. As ABI analyst Joshua Flood put it, "One of the chief drivers for tablets is the amount of time people use their smartphones for web browsing, reading articles and newspapers on the go, or simply navigating their journeys. The larger screen sizes make a significant difference to the user's experience when compared to conventional-sized touchscreens between 3.5 to 4 inches." ABI predicts shipments of the devices will increase by a factor of 10 this year over last year.
Samsung has a reputation for being pretty slow with bringing its accessories online. Industry leading manufacturers continue to provide the greatest selection of top brand cell phone accessories from Bags and Sleeves, Batteries, Bluetooth Headsets and Bluetooth Car Kits, Car Holders, Cases and Skins, Data Cables, Earbuds and Headsets, Keyboard and Protectors, Memory Cards, Screen Protectors, Speakers and Docks as well as Stylus and Pens.
Sales of tablets like Galaxy Note and LG's Optimus Vu are expected to surpass 208 million in 2015. ABI describes the trend as "the dawn of the tablet era". HTC, LG and Huawei are all expected to release their own devices later this year.

A national study followed the eating habits of 12,000 men and women. The findings show those who ate a low-calorie and low-energy dense breakfast weighed less and had an overall healthier diet compared to those who ate junk food or skipped the meal altogether.
Researchers concluded that low-energy dense foods such as fruits, vegetables and high-fiber whole grains can help you lose weight and make better food choices during the rest of the day.
Try these tasty breakfast options for a fresh start to a healthier lifestyle:
- Bran flakes with almond milk. Top with banana or blueberries.

Today the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia to hear an appeal the lower court had previously rejected in a suit filed by Liberty University of Lynchburg, Virginia, against the health insurance mandate on employers in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, commonly referred to as ObamaCare. The suit, filed on behalf of the Baptist university founded by the late evangelist Jerry Falwell, claims Congress lacks the authority to require employers to provide healthcare insurance for employees. It also challenges on religious liberty grounds the requirement that the health insurance provided for employees cover contraceptive services, including sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs, free and without deduction or co-pay by the insured.
The Supreme Court at the end of June ruled against legal challenges to the law brought by 26 states and the National Federation of Independent Businesses. In the most controversial feature of its decision, the court upheld the individual mandate, ruling that Congress has the authority under the U.S. Constitution to impose a levy on anyone not otherwise covered who does not purchase health insurance by 2014. The justices, in the 5-4 ruling, held that the payment fell under the taxing power of the Congress, though the legislation itself said the charge is a penalty, not a tax.
But the court also ruled against the government's claim that the suits were invalid under the Tax Anti-Injunction Act, a statute that forbids an injunction against a federal tax that has not yet gone into effect.

"Did you see who John McCain picked to be his vice presidential candidate?" Uncle Spud asked from behind his morning newspaper.
"Did I ever," I answered. "That's all that's been on TV for over a week."
"It's funny," he said. "We expected there would be a woman in this presidential race, but everyone thought it would be Hillary."
"Yea," I said. "The Democrats might be sorry they didn't pick Hillary for their vice presidential slot. Joe Biden doesn't have the same charm. Like McCain, he's one of the good old boys who's been in congress since the last ice age and one of the guys who helped us get into this energy crisis."
"The Democrats should have put Hillary at the top of their ticket," Spud mused. "That Irish guy, O'Bama, should have been her running mate."
"Well, there's nothing they can do about it now," I offered. "It's Obama and Biden against McCain and the babe."
"The babe?"
"That's what Rush Limbaugh called her. He meant it as a term of endearment."
"So what does she bring to the table?"
"She checkmates Obama," I smiled. "In this race we have two old faces and two new faces. No one is going to vote for Biden or McCain. We've been trying to get rid of those guys for years. People are going to vote for the new faces. This whole contest comes down to a selection between Obama and Palin."
"But he's running for president and she's only running for vice president."
"Doesn't matter," I said. "They're both a breath of fresh air and something radically different from anything we've been offered in the past. They each represent a hopeful new beginning."
"But nobody knows Sarah Palin yet," Spud insisted. "Her closet might be full of skeletons and her past full of deep dark secrets."
"Not to worry," I chided him. "The National Enquirer, US Magazine and CNN are all working overtime to get into her dirty laundry basket. I'm sure we'll all know the cut and color of her undies in just another week or two."
"But is she qualified to be president?" Spud asked anxiously. "If elected she'll be only a slip on a banana peel away from the top job in the whole world."
"Compared to George Washington and Abe Lincoln she's probably got a few things to learn," I answered. But compared to Barak Obama, her qualifications are impressive."
"What are her qualifications?"
"She served as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and she's currently the governor of the largest state in the union."
"Does being a governor qualify her to be president?"
"Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter seemed to do okay."
"So where does she stand on the issues?" Spud asked.
"She wants us to be energy independent," I said. "ANWR is in her backyard and we have her permission to drill there. The caribou won't miss the oil. Caribou don't know what to do with oil anyway."
"Where does she stand on social issues?" he asked. "Does she believe in a woman's right to choose?"
"You bet she does," I smiled. "She believes a woman has a right to choose to be a mother and a wife as well as a governor or a vice president. And she believes a woman has a right to choose to keep and love all of her babies, even those that might not be perfect in every way."
"I've heard that her teenage daughter is pregnant."
"Nights are long in Alaska," I reminded him. "What do you do on a date in the great frozen north when it gets dark by four o'clock? And besides, this might be the first shotgun wedding ever held in the Whitehouse. And guess who'll be holding the shotgun. Governor Palin is a lifetime member of the NRA."
"I can't wait to see the vice presidential candidates debate," Spud said. "Do you think she can hold her own against a wise old fox like Joe Biden?"
"Don't worry," I said. "That woman hunts moose. She can shoot, gut, skin, drag, chew the hide and be back in high heels and lipstick in an hour and a half. Biden had better bone up on his debating skills or he'll be moose stew for sure."

I've written previously of suicide and some of the challenges it poses to us in uniform. One of the Sailors at a prior command had a roommate who had attempted suicide. We sent the suicidal Sailor back to the States (we were forwarded deployed), but his roommate was still on base. And late one Thursday afternoon, he came into my cubicle to talk. (Thursdays are the same as Fridays in the Middle East. We start the week on Sunday.)
He was quiet and really said very little. I knew something was bothering him, but did not want to force him to speak to me. Finally he came out with it.
I am sort of lonely since (my roommate who attempted suicide) went back home.
I nodded. Do you have friends to hang out with? Truly, he was a nice guy, but odd in an intellectual way.
Not really, he replied. Weekends are hell.
I nodded again. Weekends in the Middle East could be hellish if you don't find your niche. I know you are done with your tour in three weeks, are you just homesick?
Yes, but I can't guarantee I won't do what (my roommate) did.
I nodded again. I really did not know the proper response to this, other than to thank him for his honesty. I truly appreciate you being so straightforward about it. Especially with me. Have you talked to the Chaplain about it?
No. I don't go to church.
We talked some more, small talk. I tricked him into laughing by making fun of myself. I have one skill I can always fall back on and that is finding something light and amusing to say. I then asked his permission for something. Do you mind if I talk to the Master Chief about it?
No sir. Thanks.
He left my cubicle and I waited a couple of minutes before knocking on the CMC's door.
Master Chief, you got a second?
He looked up. It really was only me, the suicidal Sailor, and the Master Chief in the office. Yeah, sir. What is up?
I told him the whole story. Can you hang out with the Petty Officer this weekend? I asked him.
Ah, any other weekend, but this. I have family in town.
You think it would be fraternization if I grabbed lunch with him on Friday. I can play it by ear and see how it is.
It is certainly a grey area. But this is too important. Can you?
You bet. We have to.
I left the Master Chief's office and chatted up the Petty Officer about our plans. He was amenable. My experience is that most people just want to be listened to. We grabbed lunch on Friday and I told him to call me if he wanted to do anything on Saturday.
Yes, a Lieutenant should not be hanging out with his Petty Officers. But it was a strange situation, a Petty Officer who did not fit in well. And me, who can talk to anyone. He made it back to the States, tired and lonely. But alive.
I wish I could say the same for Navy SEAL Team 5 Sailor Robert Guzzo Jr:
He survived the battlefields of Iraq, but a Navy SEAL's battles with post-traumatic stress disorder proved too much to endure.
In their first in-depth interview, the parents of Navy SEAL Team 5 member Robert Guzzo Jr. say that the horrors of war, as well as the stigma of mental illness, helped contribute to their son's suicide.
After being deployed to Iraq in 2006, Guzzo returned home a little more than a year later, and his parents immediately noticed something was amiss.
"I could just tell immediately he was changed," Robin Andersen, Guzzo's mother, told The Washington Post. "His affect was different, you know. The look on his face was a distance away."She still recalls one particular night shortly after Guzzo returned from Iraq when she tried her best to comfort her sobbing son."I was rubbing his back, saying, 'It's going to be okay,' and he said, 'Mom, it's never going to be okay,'" Andersen told the Post.
Accch, this is a tragic story. I will say, what the SEAL's parents recount as his story is no longer typical. That I know of. There are ways of getting Sailors help. Of course, our suicides just passed our combat deaths this year. Which is utterly tragic.
I encouraged the suicidal Sailor, who I had lunch with, to seek more serious help. And I told him there were no ramifications to it. The Navy may not be for him. But I did not tell him that, he had enough on his plate. . .

Republican senators have been calling on President Obama to take action against the regime of Bashar al-Assad over its reported use of a chemical weapon against rebel forces in Syria's civil war. A White House official has acknowledged that intelligence agencies have reported "with varying degrees of confidence" the small-scale use by Assad of the chemical agent Sarin. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was quick to remind the Obama administration of the president's previous warnings to the Assad regime that the use of chemical weapons would be crossing a "red line" that would trigger a U.S. response.
"The president clearly stated that it was a red line and that it couldn't be crossed without the United States taking vigorous action," McCain told Fox News April 25. The Arizona Republican called for the United States to help establish a no-fly zone and "safe zone" in Syria, as well as provide weapons to the "right people.
In a letter to McCain and Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.), Miguel Rodriguez, assistant to the president and director of the Office of Legislative Affairs, stressed the need to "build on these intelligence assessments as we seek to establish credible and corroborated facts. While the use of Sarin "probably originated with the Assad regime," Rodriguez wrote, "the chain of custody is not clear so we cannot confirm how the exposure occurred or under what conditions." In an apparent reference to the Iraq War, Rodriguez cautioned:
Given the stakes involved, and what we have learned from our own recent experience, intelligence assessments alone are not sufficient — only credible and corroborated facts that provide us with some degree of certainty will guide our decision-making and strengthen our leadership of the international community.
McCain dismissed that "caveat" as an excuse. "I worry that the president and the administration will use these caveats as an excuse not to act right away or act at all," he said in his Fox News interview.
The White House statement was in response to a letter to the president on Wednesday from McCain, Levin, and six other senators, posing the question: "Has the Assad regime, or Syrian elements associated with, or supported by, the Assad regime, used chemical weapons in Syria since the current conflict began in March 2011?" The letter also referred to findings of "the French, British and Israeli governments" and "the intelligence underlying their claims."

Travis d'Arnaud is MLB.com's top ranked catching prospect
Mets C Travis d'Arnaud is the best catching prospect in baseball, according to a recent list published by MiLB.com's minor league guru Jonathan Mayo.
"If it hadn't been for some injuries, talk about d'Arnaud as a prospect would have long been a thing of the past and the buzz would be about him as one of the bright young catching stars in the big leagues," Mayo writes. "When healthy, he has the tools to be a top-flight all-around backstop. He's agile and athletic with a good arm and has worked hard to improve his throwing. He has the ability to hit for both average and power and is a natural leader behind the plate, skills he should be able to show off in New York soon."
In 67 games with Triple-A Las Vegas last season, d'Arnaud hit .333 with a .380 OBP, .975 OPS, 16 home runs and 52 RBI in 279 at-bats.
Brian Erni
This ranking doesn't come as much of a surprise, but it does a good job in putting d'Arnaud's talent in perspective. As a true top-flight prospect, d'Arnaud has all the tools to be part of this core going forward. In the aftermath of the trade, I think some fans may have gotten a misconception of d'Arnaud's profile, specifically his defense. I've heard some argue that he has a shaky glove, and from what I've seen, that couldn't be further from the truth. d'Arnaud has clean footwork, an above-average throwing arm, and has drawn acclaim from pitchers as a good receiver. That shouldn't go unnoticed. His defensive ability, coupled with his power (specifically to the opposite field), is what distinguishes him as a catcher that is also a gifted hitter, as opposed to a hitter who merely came to the position out of necessity. When camp opens next month, all eyes will be on d'Arnaud (and future battery mate Zack Wheeler). Whether it's Opening Day, the first week of May, or later in the summer, I expect d'Arnaud to make quite an impression in Flushing.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
The streak of bad weather made it difficult for the Carbon Dinos to stay sharp over the holiday break. Every game they had was postponed. Finally on New Year's eve the Dinos got to step on the floor to take on Juab. After a back and forth battle, Carbon fell short with a 66-61 loss.
Both teams showed their rust in the early going and neither could score well into the first. But It was Carbon who got things rolling as Clint Finkbiner hit a pair of threes and went on to score the first 11 points of the game. It looked like he would be the only one to score in the quarter.
However Juab found then net just as Carbon went cold and they went on their own 11-0 run and soon had the game tied. Tanner Gagnon finally got the Dinos going again and the Dinos went into the locker room only down by three.
Both teams were able to score in the third, but Carbon lived on the perimeter, relying on threes to stay in the game. In the fourth quarter it looked like the Wasps might run away with it, but the Dinos began to penetrate and they pulled back in the game.
With just under three minuted left, Carbon made a critical stop and quickly scored to pull within one. Juab went down and hit a three and the Dinos could not finish things off.
Coach Ted Bianco was not pleased with the outcome. "When we start off with an 11-0 lead we should be able to win the game. Our defense was not playing well. We passed up to many open looks and settled for the outside shot too often. We needed more players to step up and help Clint (Finkbiner.) We started getting that in the fourth, but they need to do it much earlier in the game," said Bianco.
He went on to say, "We were off for 16 days so I was not sure what to expect from them. We could have played better, but we certainly could have played worse."
Finkbiner was smoking from the perimeter with nine treys. He finished with 29 points. Tanner Gagnon was able to contribute 19 points on the afternoon.
The team will take on Grand at home this Wednesday night with tip off for the varsity at 7:00 p.m.


text: My husband and I are starting our own antiques and interior design company in Chattanoog TN. We have collected antiques and one of a kind items for years as a hobby but are still learning the ropes as dealers. Niether of us are trained specialist, we just know what we like and Stephen, my husband, has an excellent eye for the very old and very unique treasures that most people do not even reallize they have. Recently we have aquired a chineese altar table. According to my research it is from the Ming dynasty and made from rosewood. This piece is held together by wooded pegs and is in great condition but I have no idea how to price this item. My belief has always been that the value of any item is in just how much that "right" person will pay for something they love. However, I would like some idea of a starting asking price for this unique piece and really cant afford an appraisal as all of our money has been invested into our dream business. Can anyone help?
