Some non-Olympic news coming out of Whistler, B.C. In case you hadn't heard, Whistler-Blackcomb is for sale; meanwhile Whistler's owner, Intrawest, is fighting to keep the resort. Intrawest owners Fortress Investment Group missed the final payment on a $1.4 billion loan last year, and its big-bank creditors started foreclosure proceedings against the group.
Up in the colder parts of the world, like the Arctic Circle, there aren't a whole lot of landmarks, no street signs or even old tree stumps to serve as landmarks or help guide travelers. So the natives long ago took to building stone landmarks or cairns called inukshuks.
Guess we should stop bragging about Colorado now. We've just gotten word that some serious records are being broken up at Whistler Blackcomb -- and it's barely December.
Like you, we here at SKI Magazine are worried about climate change and what it might to do our sport. Which is why we're happy to report that the Municipality of Whistler -- host of the 2010 Winter Olympics -- has pledged to go carbon neutral by 2010.
Turns out not everybody is looking forward to the 2010 Olympics, the Seattle Times reports. A host of Whistler locals (and some Vancouverites) are unhappy about road and school closures planned for the Games' duration, while ski-rental and gear shops worry that tourists will be too busy watching competitions to bother with actual skiing. For some people, though, the gripes aren't unwelcome. The folks at Oregon's Mt.
Samplings (Frisco, Colorado)
The name says it all at this casual neighborhood bistro on Frisco's quaint main drag, a few miles from Breckenridge and Copper. Mix and match Chef Michael Weist's global small-plate cuisine with more than 220 international wines by the glass, bottle or flight. On the menu, try the duck confit ravioli, Tasmanian salmon and smoked buffalo flank steak. Best seat: at the 20-person community table or the chef's table by the kitchen.

USNA STEM Office Winter News Highlights
Posted on: April 01, 2013 08:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Affairs
The Naval Academy Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Program has been busy this semester!
Robotics Tournament
In January the U.S. Naval Academy hosted an all day STEM initiative to showcase the innovation, research and robotics designs of regional teams based on rubrics from the nonprofit organization FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), founded to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. There were more than 200 participants from regional schools, and more than 25 midshipmen volunteers.
There were several robotics competitions occurring during the event. Younger students participated in the LEGO First Robotics League, where they learned basic programming and design while being mentored by students in the sciences (including midshipmen.) There were 26 teams of K-3rd graders and seven teams of 4th—8th graders. Each team researched a specific topic and built a model from LEGOs which included a moving part and at least one of example of a "simple machine."
Twenty-eight teams of high school students came to the event to demonstrate and test the robots they had built, designed and programmed over the course of several months leading up to the competition. The challenge had several components including an autonomous challenge where the robots had to be pre-programmed to navigate a particular scenario and a timed challenge mode where teams competed against one another to move rings to particular locations. Teams were judged on design.
Faculty Travel
STEM Professors Mark Murray, Pat Moran and Angela Moran spent a long weekend at the naval station in Pensacola, training SeaCadet Leaders, NJROTC leaders, 4H Club Directors and Navy League Volunteers on Underwater Robotics design and build methods. Completed robots were tested in the water survival tank. The trip also included a tour of the National Flight Academy, an immersion experience for students on a simulated aircraft carrier and discussion on Navy collaborations.
Ocean Exploration Workshop
In February, USNA hosted a joint presentation of the SEAPERCH/NOAA Ocean Exploration Workshop along with the Office of Ocean Exploration and Research at NOAA. This workshop was developed to be both hands-on and informative for teachers and STEM educators. Thirty teachers – local and from outside Maryland – attended the event where they learned about the NOAA Deep Ocean Explorer unit as well as how to build SeaPerch ROVs.
The SeaPerch ROV build was a speed build initiation training. Teachers were instructed on everything from circuit soldering, the mechanical build of the body of the ROV from PVC pipe, and the wiring of motors and placement of propellors. All of the participants left the workshop with their own SeaPerch and an advanced knowledge of how to teach their students to build their very own underwater tethered robots.
NOAA led the exploration portion of the workshop with discussions ranging from the reasons for ocean exploration to the kinds of technologies that are used to explore the deep ocean. Speakers highlighted the need for exploration to map the water column using tethered ROVs similar to SeaPerch due to the fact that currently only 5 percent of the ocean floor has been thoroughly mapped.
This was the first partnership between NOAA and the USNA STEM Office There is much excitement and hope for more opportunities for partnership in the future.
STEM Merit Badges
USNA National Eagle Scouts and the STEM Office hosted around 350 scouts for a merit badge weekend. In addition to leadership and camping activities, midshipmen and faculty offered 14 STEM merit badges including aviation, computers, engineering, and medicine.

Athletic Storms

Communities along the East Coast are reeling from the impact of Hurricane Sandy, dealing with electric outages, flooded streets, damaged sewage plants, and fractured transportation lines. Can cities rebuild stronger, more resilient infrastructure to weather the storms of the future?
In the SciFri Snack, climatologists Radley Horton and J. Marshall Shepherd say that climate change causes sea level rise -- which may in turn cause more punishing storms. If weather were a sport, they say, climate change would make it a whole new game. Hear more SciFri Snacks -- and join the discussion -- at Soundcloud.

A new service offered by Google is raising some eyebrows, as users now have access to monthly reports that reveal all their online activities using Google products (Gmail, YouTube, Google+ social network, online search, etc.). Called "Account Activity," the new feature will allow users to "step back and take stock of what you're doing online," Google product manager Andreas Tuerk noted in a blog post. "Knowing more about your account activity also can help you take steps to protect your Google Account."
According to Tuerk, signing up for the service will provide Account Activity subscribers with a monthly report that delivers a variety of benefits, including "transparency and control; summarized data associated with each product you use when signed in to your account; and links to change your personal settings."
The service supplies users with information such as their website history, what sites they frequent, the number of e-mails they've sent and received in the past month, and other tidbits relating to accounts that are associated with their e-mail address. Further, as more reports are pulled, activity summaries will show changes in use over time.
The company's Public Policy blog provides an example of how the program works:

This is a guest post by Patrick Donnelly. Donnelly is the creative producer for 2ergo, an international mobile business and marketing solutions company.
A few blog posts have been written about Microsoft Tag and publishing. On my metro ride to work here in D.C., I got to test out a mobile tagging experience for Camillia Lackberg's crime novel The Ice Princess.
In a world saturated by social shares and flashy video, it was nice to have a simple mobile user experience tailored to the audience. Upon scanning the Tag, I received a link to the book's first chapter on my phone. One theme in mobile user experience discussions is the importance of featuring content that fits the situation and target demographic. What could be more relevant then a sampling of the author's work? Additionally, since my metro ride was 15 minutes long, I had the time to consume the content. There was no call to action at the end of the chapter, but I assume a true paperback enthusiast would then either decide to buy the book or decide that it wasn't for them.
For this mobile tagging experience, four elements were implemented very well to deliver a great user experience:
The experience brought some other questions and possible opportunities to mind:
If you like reading books, would this type of user experience help you decide to buy this book? We would love to know what you think.

EVANS MILLS Stephaney Miesowitz wants you to travel the world with her in an hour.
That is how the village resident describes the environment of her Zumba classes. She is a testament to the Latin and international fitness musics success, as she has used it to transform her fitness level and overall health. Her journey was featured recently in PhenoLot, an online magazine about womens beauty and fitness.
I continue to share my story so that other women can see that you can do anything if you put your mind to it, she said. I let them know that with hard work, dedication and passion for fitness, I am where I am now and that it did not happen overnight.
Mrs. Miesowitzs journey has been 3� years in the making, and shes not close to being finished.
She said she attended her first Zumba class a few years ago after a neighbor on Fort Drum suggested she try it. Not only was she instantly addicted, but she became an instructor soon afterward and has expanded her expertise to include Zumba toning, aqua Zumba, Zumbatonic, Hip-Hop Hustle and P90X.
What made me want to push myself to get these certifications is because my passion for fitness is where my heart is, Mrs. Miesowitz said. I always want to learn more and do more to my body, basically challenging and shocking my body, but as well as teaching/sharing what I do to others. Its like a fire within me that wants more and more for myself.
Dozens of her Zumba class participants on the post also keep wanting more.
Lynne Meyer-Johnson has attended Mrs. Miesowitzs Zumba classes for a year and a half, and was hooked before her first Zumba workout was even over.
I continue to attend her class because her energy is amazing, and she has a positive upbeat attitude that is contagious, Ms. Meyer-Johnson said. The changes in my body shape are proof that her teaching methods are effective. She has taught me several exercise plans to sculpt and maintain my ideal body shape and meet my fitness goals. I continue to see positive changes in my body. She has encouraged and motivated me to continue to challenge myself, which in turn has allowed me to be more confident about my body.
Earlier this year, those classes on the post were cut for budget reasons. After an online petition circulated, classes began again in early June.
Mrs. Miesowitz said her advice to anyone who needs motivation to become more fit is to first unlock your mind, then unlock your body. She said her motivation is her family, Zumba students and God, whom she said is her rock.
Youve got to believe in yourself and do it for you and no one else, Mrs. Miesowitz said. Youve got to stop with the excuses and come to the realization that you need to change and love yourself. Once you do all these things, everything else will fall into place. Never give up.
She said that if she had given up, shed never be able to reach so many people. One of her biggest surprises was when PhenoLot reached out to her through her fitness page on Facebook. She hadnt heard of the magazine before, but welcomed the thought of sharing her story to inspire others.
It makes me feel so blessed that I, an ordinary woman, can inspire others with my story and to let them know they dont have to be a celebrity to look fit, healthy and strong, she said.
They can have the bodies they want if they work hard for it.

Gerontology Program
The Interdisciplinary program leading to a Minor or Certificate in Gerontology consists of 6 courses and is intended to provide a systematic grounding in the study of aging. While the requirements are the same for undergraduate, graduate and continuing education students, undergraduate matriculating students of Rhode Island College who successfully complete the requirements of the program will be awarded a MINOR in Gerontology; non-matriculating or graduate students will receive a Certificate in Gerontology.
Please download the
The gerontology program has the following 4 major learning objectives:
- Describe the physical and mental health changes that accompany aging, both senescent and pathological in origin
- Understand the general patterns of aging in the U.S., including intracultural variations; the major social issues affecting the aged; and how empirical research provides this information
- Discuss the laws, programs, and policies that specifically impinge on the aged population in the U.S. and cross-cultural variations in the structure of services and benefits to older adults.
- Be able to apply gerontological knowledge to an applied setting in which services or advocacy to the aged population is provided.

POTSDAM Following leads into the possible burial of an elderly couple on May Road in the town of Stockholm, state police have uncovered what they say appears to be a box in the ground.
State police began digging at 733 May Road this morning after thawing a 3-by-5-foot space next to a trailer on the property. They are looking for the bodies of Betty and Alvin Babcock, a couple in their 80s whose relatives lost contact with them two years ago.
State Police Lt. John R. Coryea said it took eight hours to thaw one area of the property. He said digging is an arduous task, and they so far have been able to dig down only about three feet.
They are going to proceed slowly, Lt. Coryea said. The ground and all the frost on top of it is really the limiting factor at this point.
During the dig with a backhoe, police discovered something that resembled a box, said Trooper Jennifer V. Fleishman, state police Troop B spokeswoman. A second area next to the dig site also is being thawed for what she confirmed was the possible location of a second box.
The search for the Babcocks is a result of what started out as a welfare fraud case, according to St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary E. Rain. The investigation led authorities to the May Road trailer occupied by Robert Bartlett, who, according to relatives of Mrs. Babcock, used to drive the couple to doctor appointments.
State police Violent Crime Investigation Team senior investigator John H. Donohue said that while the probe has led state police to the box in the ground, they still are not sure what they are dealing with.
Anytime you dig in a large area such as this, you never know what you are going to find, he said.
Ms. Rain also was on the scene this morning and said that while the 2-foot-deep frost line has been a problem for the search, state police have been methodical in their investigation.
They are not going to hit where they think the evidence might be because there will be hand digging and sifting and things like that, Ms. Rain said. They are going around the area where they think the evidence might be. We dont know what the evidence is until we find it.
Ms. Rain said that based on the leads state police have received, investigators are targeting specific areas and may target others later.
But, again, the frost is about two feet thick, so they want to be as specific as they can, and they are making progress, Ms. Rain said.
Mr. Bartlett is undergoing a mental health evaluation. Ms. Rain said if the bodies are found, it could determine how the case could be prosecuted.
Generally speaking, defendants who have mental health issues or histories, their defense attorneys can request an evaluation for whether they are competent to go forward with the charges or stand trial, Ms. Rain said. We are not there yet on this because we havent lodged any charges.
State police wrapped up the dig at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday and will resume the operation at 8 a.m. today.

Top Ten Reasons to Be a Doctor
On first blush, I am tempted to answer "Heck no!" given the administrative hassles, the changes in the public's perception of our profession, the front-load of education and the long hours involved. But those observations, while real, are at best superficial. Drilling down with more careful analysis after a challenging weekend on call, I find it worthwhile to stop and ask myself what makes medicine special for those of us crazy enough to subject ourselves to this lifestyle. I decided to put together a list of things that were important to me and would welcome additions to the list from others.
10. Independence - No matter what happens on the larger public policy and procedure scale with guidelines and mandates, when it comes to decisions regarding a patient's care, it will always be the one-on-one interaction between the patient and the doctor that will ultimately decide the best approach for care for an individual patient.
9. Respect - The title "Doctor of Medicine" still carries weight in our society. With that respect, however, comes significant moral imperatives to maintain that respect.
8. Flexibility - For those not adept at one-to-one interactions with people (hence, the clinical side of medicine), there are a myriad of opportunities opened with the MD or DO degree in public policy, research, the basic sciences, journalism, consulting, business, etc. It is this flexibility of options that are open to doctors that ensures job security.
7. Variety - I have been doing medicine a long time and have yet to see two days' activities or two patients that are the same. Ever. Bottom line: medicine is never boring.
6. Influence - Physicians matter. People know it. But you'd better be ready to be cornered at cocktail parties.
5. Reward - I cannot not think of anything superior to helping a fellow man or woman at a time when they are most vulnerable or in the greatest need. It also occassionally provides upgrades to first class when you help treat a syncopal patient on an airplane.
4. Trust - Like Smith Barney says, you have to "earn it," but once a patient's trust and confidence, it's the tie that binds. By virtue of your title, you are invited into the most secret parts of patients' lives to share their deepest concerns - a truly remarkable privilege. Corporate meetings never leave me with that feeling, if you get my drift.
3. Humility - Medicine will always keep you humble since there will never be a time when you can know it all or cure it all - ever. It's both the blessing and the curse of our profession: the learning never ends.
2. Fascination - Every day we work with the most amazing technology imaginable. The wonder of it all never ends: ask anyone who's ever reached in an abdomen to remove ischemic bowel, prescribed an antibiotic to cure a pneumonia, or ablated an tachycardia that affected someone their entire life and rendered it of historic interest only. Even something as simple as cutting the skin with the belly of a 15-blade scalpel while listening to the patient chat idly about their grandkids thanks to remarkable local anesthetics during a pacemaker implant, you are reminded of the amazing wonders of modern medicine every day.
1. Teamwork - Medicine is, by definition, a team sport. No physician can do what we do in isolation. Our "Club Med" has challenging pre-requisites, but once in, it is a vocation where we share collectively in the trials and tribulations of patient care. We win and we lose, together. Whether we are doctors, nurses, technicians, administrators, clerical staff, safety personnel or maintenance workers - each of us are constantly working for a common goal - the health and well-being of our patients - and when it works, nothing, I mean nothing, is as cool as that.

Thank you for this. My 2nd child was born with a CHD. So far we've had 3 OHS and a pacemaker implanted. Both my girls it seems were raised in hospitals and doctor's offices and they often play doctor at home ALL the time. (Not just doctor, "heart surgery" :-) My oldest continually wants to be a doctor, has since she's been 4. And even though she's only in elementary school, it's clear she has the intelligence and drive for it. These last few years I continually look at her, admire her determination, but secretly wonder "Do I even WANT her to be a doctor???" Your post was wonderful, but how sad a time are we in when parents are actually hoping their children WON'T be doctors? Scary, very scary!

Dr Wes,
This is not for posting but question for you. I could not find your email on the site.
Thanks for your wonderful posts. I have question - Should female cardiac interventionalists esp doing PCI stop doing procedures when pregnant? Is there any data on this and pregnancy related complications? Thanks. RR. firstname.lastname@example.com

Knowing what I do now, I would do it all over again. For sure.
Except in college, I would have taken more humanities, and less science, so as to have become a smarter blog author.

As a third year med student, I'd like to add "Fun!" to your list. It's an adrenaline rush at times and the most funny stories I have in my 30 years of life are from medicine. As a good friend said, I get paid to have fun!

Dr. Wes,
Thanks for a terrific post! I'm new to you but saw a mention in the WSJ Health blog.
If I may add my own #11, I think "being able to tell awesome stories at cocktail parties". I'm starting my surgery residency in July, and I already have some wonderful memories of the crazy things I saw while showcasing this past year. I may not end my career as the wealthy doctor of yester-year, but I am sure that I will still be able to say I led a rich life.
PS - Thanks for the DO recognition!

Having survived cardiac arrest, and now sporting an AICD, I am celebrating my "re-birth" 4 years on!
So, no matter how bad it gets here "above ground," because I am awake and ambulatory, I am forever thankful for EMTs and doctors like you! Especially when I tee off every other week! johnrio

The "human side" of medicine is what keeps us all going. The subjective nature of assessing an individual patient by putting everything together is an art that cannot be replaced by any fancy million dollar diagnostic equipment. This cognitive process cannot be replaced by any computer algorithm. Human patient will always be seen by "human" doctor. No machine will replace us.

Dr. WEs:
My name is Oscar Heredia, I am a medical student Chileno. I'm just starting the race, just recently finished my second year and every day I feel more satisfied to have decided to study medicine. Reading his blog, I found very interesting this post, I think I agree with many of these reasons. I think they should incorporate the "vocation" for medicine. Personally I think it is essential to choosing a career in the health area or any area of study. I appreciate the opportunity to reflect on the reasons that motivated me to enter the world of health and care of people who need the support of a medical team.

Dr. Wes,
My name is Daniela Guerrero, I'm from Chile and I'm a second year medicine student. I want to congratulate you for your brilliant and refreshing posts. I have been following you for a while now and I find your blog very interesting and informative.
This post is particularly inspiring for me. I'm a PSVT patient, and that was my very first reason to get into medical school, to someday be able to help others like me.
But even while I'm still in training to be a doctor, I'm feeling identified with the reasons you give in this post.
Reward, humility, fascination... That's what this is really about, help others and marvel at the miracle of life. Medicine it's an AMAZING CAREER, to be a medicine student requires sacrifice but all the effort along the way worth.
Thank you Dr. Wes for sharing your thoughts and for remind me and all who read your blog why we are doing this.

Why do you choose to be a cardiologist? What's your motivation?
- Wed Oct 10, 11:36:00 AM CDT
Dr. Wes,
I'm a pre-medical student in college. There is a ton of negative press out there, and it's hard not to let it get to me and make me question medicine as an occupation. I constantly hear stories of 60+ hour weeks and mounting debt, and even my family is questioning my decision to be a doctor.
My question to you, then, is how did you decide that you could handle it?
With Thanks and Respect,
- Tue Jan 28, 07:47:00 PM CST
Dear Dr. Wes ... I stumbled onto your web page by clicking on the wrong link I had saved for reading later. One word - thanks!
I am a fully trained physician who migrated to the United States. I cleared all my board exams but with limited seats for getting into residency at that time - I was unable to. Tried about seven years and gave up. Focused on non-clinical medical research. Sometimes I ask what is it that I am missing - the feeling of loss on viewing facebook old friends who are surgeons and gyn docs now.
You answered it though for me ... it was the respect and trust.
Thanks again.
- Wed Nov 19, 09:49:00 AM CST
Thanks for a nice post.
I am glad I became a doctor.
I am proud of my son who is a first year medical student.

Adopting a Systemic Approach to Service Innovation at Regional Level Δημοσιεύθηκε στις: 18/02/2014, Τελευταία ενημέρωση: 24/06/2015
One of the primary objectives of the European Service Innovation Centre (ESIC) is to provide customised advice to selected model demonstrator regions. Within the framework of its regional assessments, ESIC tests whether the regional policy mix is conducive to supporting emerging business models and transforming sectors by applying service innovation processes and concepts. The expected outcome of a modern regional innovation policy mix is the ushering in of structural change and a shifting of the regional economy towards higher value added products and services.
Such structural change requires a systemic approach from innovation policy-makers that takes into account the interwoven character of the regional eco-system. A systemic innovation policy must consciously build upon cross-sectoral synergies and capitalise on all forms of innovation. However, there is no one-size-fits-all model and there is no single best practice that can be replicated. All regions have to find their own strengths and carve out their own niches and opportunities.
The determinants of innovation include – amongst others - economic, social, political, organisational and institutional factors. A central assumption is that innovation systems perform well when they support a number of essential functions or activities [1] .
For these reasons, ESIC has adopted an analytical framework to assess regional policy, which covers the five most important functions of the innovation system:
- Entrepreneurial activities;
- Knowledge development and transfer;
- Innovation and business model generation;
- Financing innovation and growth; and
- Collaboration and networking.
In ESIC, the assessment of the 'five innovation system functions' addresses those aspects that are most crucial for inducing structural change. For example, the analysis of knowledge development and diffusion takes into account the fact that the results of service innovation are not only appropriated by means of patents, but also by means of copyright, trademarks and first-mover advantages. Likewise, collaboration across the boundaries of sectors is very important for service innovation. A systemic policy approach is one that focuses on all forms of knowledge and innovation. It does not only support a given set of manufacturing or service sectors but rather focuses on the links between sectors. This approach, then, creates the framework conditions conducive to ensuring that regional businesses continue to develop. The importance of infrastructure should also be noted such as broad-band or testing facilities that can be important enablers of service innovation.
In addition to assessing the five functions individually, the ESIC approach also explores their coherence and the interfaces between them. In order for service innovation to flourish, an innovation system, which involves both private and public agencies, should ideally carry out all five functions effectively.
Figure1. Assessment of the Regional Innovation System's Functions
[1] Hekkert, 2007; Wieczorek & Hekkert, 2012 identified seven system functions: entrepreneurial activities, knowledge development, knowledge diffusion, guidance of search, market formation, mobilisation of resources and creation of legitimacy. These have been simplified to five for the purposes of the ESIC analysis.

Images from the release of a two-year-old, male manatee into the Willoughby Creek on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012 that was rescued in January by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission along with Martin County Sheriff's Office after being severely injured by a watercraft-related injury. The staff at Miami Seaquarium healed him and members of the Sea to Shore Alliance will be monitoring his migratory patterns until February.
DEBORAH SILVER/TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS Maya Rodriguez (left), head veternarian at Miami Seaquarium, and other staff members along with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission members and volunteers, look over the male, weanling manatee before releasing him into Willoughby Creek behind Caribbean Bay Cottages on Tuesday. The 600-pound, two-year-old was severely injured by a watercraft in January. When he was found, his spinal cord was exposed, both lung cavities were open and he had broken ribs on both sides. "He's a miracle animal," said John Cassady, research associate with the manatee section of FWC. "Fortunately, they have great healing abilities. The fact that he was able to breathe on one lung is amazing. It's a miraculous ending. This is why I do what I do." For more photos from the release, go to www.tcpalm.com/photos/galleries/.

Discover Vienna with Kremslehner Hotels.
For clients who have never been to Vienna before
The Hotel is in an excellent central location and I was given a quiet room as requested. The room was clean, comfortable and had all the facilities one could want. It was particularly useful to have a solid, fixed room safe included in the room cost. All the staff I dealt with were very friendly, helpful and efficient. The buffet breakfast choice was extensive and satisfying. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay. I will strongly recommend the hotel to friends who visit the city.

Comments about CamelBak Fourteener Hydration Pack 2011:
First off.. I'm a bigger guy with a 43 inch waist. That's the only reason why the pack needed an extension on the waist belt. Camelbak was nice enough to send me one FREE! THANKS CAMELBAK!! (I'm working at it, I'm loosing weight).
The 2011 Fourteener held my Nikon DSLR camera w/extended battery drive, 24-300mm lens, rain gear, hat, cell phone, keys and several other items easily with a load more room and pockets to spare. Did I mention 100 oz of water that stayed cold, in 80 and 90 deg summer heat, from 9am-6pm at the Indy MotoGP. For three days I filled the big-mouth Antidote Reservoir with ice then top off with water. Cold water all day! Water was $3 dollars a bottle (16 oz) at this event. The Fourteener reservoir is 100 oz. I consumed 3/4 of this everyday. You do the math! The new Antidote Reservoir Quick-Link and Snap-Cap systems worked like a champ. No leaks, No drips. The new N.V.I.S. back panel and the cold water in the reservoir allowed my back and shirt to stay cool and dry! No kidding... air-conditioning! A good solid pack that will easily get you through a day and possibly two. I like the Fourteener a lot. The only thing I could wish for would be a small pocket on the waist belt or shoulder strap and me to lose a few more pounds!

Comments about Fourteener Hydration Pack 2011:
Insulated hydration pack is great. Freeze overnight half full, add more water the next morning, and it stays cool all day even in warm weather. Good storage. This is a very comfortable pack that stays put while scrambling or light bushwacking.

Mixing work and play is always a pleasure for the WhoWhatWear.com team, and happily, we were able to indulge in our cherished pastime this past weekend. Early Friday morning, we ventured outside our Beverly Hills-bubble and headed 130 miles east to the tenth annual Coachella Music Festival. Obviously, we were thrilled to immerse ourselves in the sounds (chiefly Ghostland Observatory, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Morrissey) and contemplate the trippy light installations, but our main objective was to track the festival's fashion!
With sunscreen slathered on our faces and gladiator sandals strapped on our feet, we spent three days examining thousands of music enthusiasts and separating the true tastemakers from the run-of-the-mill hipsters. As we're always interested in street style, we asked our favorite fashion-forward attendees to answer a little questionnaire. Our specific queries were simple, we just wanted to know three key things: WHO they were, WHAT shows they were excited about seeing, and most importantly, what they decided to WEAR to the festival.
Overall, we were quite impressed with the majority of this year's Coachella ensembles. Aside from a few impractically avant-garde approaches (think: Native American headdresses and knee-high, hot pink fur boots), there were so many darling looks on display. We spied loads of vintage floral rompers, pale blue pairs of jean cutoffs, and zingy-hued sandals, alongside several other excellent wardrobe pieces, which are showcased in today's lineup. We hope that you'll enjoy the final compilation of outfits and let them serve as inspiration for the rest of your summer concert-going season! -Jessica Amento, additional reporting by Kelly Agnew

LOWVILLE Lewis County officials are moving forward with plans to privatize the countys alcohol and substance abuse treatment center, primarily due to staffing difficulties.
The Lewis County Community Services Board on Tuesday approved the transfer of the county-run Community Recovery Center on Number Three Road to Credo Community Center for the Treatment of Addictions Inc., Watertown.
I think this will be good for the Community Recovery Center and good for Credo, said James P. Scordo, the nonprofit agencys executive director.
The move will allow Credo, which previously operated a clinic in Carthage, to expand its presence into Lewis County and enhance services to county residents, Mr. Scordo said.
The Community Recovery Center had employed three counselors through much of last year, but two of them resigned within a couple of months, leaving only one to see clients.
We have a staffing problem, and we are not having any luck recruiting, said Sarah J. Bullock, the countys acting director of community services. The services were suffering because of it.
The Community Services Board in November sought proposals from firms interested in taking over chemical-dependency outpatient services, and Credo was the only agency to respond.
Were really happy about Credo, because they certainly have a good reputation, said Catherine L. Liendecker, the boards chairwoman.
Directors of Lewis Countys probation and social services departments and Jefferson County Community Services all submitted letters of support on Credos behalf.
The proposal was reviewed by county officials, and a Community Services Board sub-committee interviewed Credo officials earlier this month, Mrs. Bullock said.
The legislative Mental Hygiene Committee was also briefed on the proposal, and legislators will likely be asked to sign off on it next week, she said.
Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, who attended the interview, said he was very impressed with the proposal and felt Credo would be able to run the center more cost-effectively than the county.
Credos proposal includes an estimated annual budget for the center of $325,000, with about $173,000 needed from the state and county to avoid an operating deficit.
However, only about $20,000 is expected to come from the county, while this years budget anticipates a $60,000 county share to run the center, Mrs. Bullock said.
While the request for proposals stipulates that the transfer take place by Oct. 1, it could happen more quickly if needed state approvals come through in a timely manner, she said.
Mr. Scordo said he is hoping for an August or September start.
Credo is proposing to employ two full-time counselors and one half-time counselor, along with a couple of support staff members.
If selected, Credo Community Center would plan on having an open process for selecting employees, the proposal states. It would be ideal to have Lewis County residents and some current employees of the Lewis County Recovery Center work at this site.
County legislators in 2009 attempted to privatize the Community Recovery Center, primarily as a cost-cutting move. However, Credo, which initially agreed to take over the center, later determined that expanding its services into Lewis County would not be feasible at that time.
Mrs. Bullock said she is not concerned about a similar situation occurring again, given the groundwork done by the Community Services Board and Credo officials.
It was a good process, she said.
Lewis County has already privatized most of its mental health services. County officials last summer transferred programs, including the outpatient clinic, to Transitional Living Services of Northern New York, while Northern Regional Center for Independent Living took on a few of them, including advocacy and family support services.

Foul Trouble Haunts Bluejays' WBB in 80-52 loss at #18 Oklahoma
NORMAN, Okla. - Plagued by foul trouble throughout the opening period, the Creighton women's basketball team fell to #18 Oklahoma, 80-52, on Sunday, Dec. 1.
The loss dropped the Bluejays to 4-3 on the season, while Oklahoma moved to 5-2.
The NCAA's new emphasis on opening up the game of women's basketball hurt the Bluejays on Sunday as all four of the Creighton post players (Alexis Akin-Otiko, Alyssa Kamphaus, Sarah Nelson and Brianna Rollerson) picked up three fouls in the opening period. The result was 15 Oklahoma free-throw attempts in the opening period as the Sooners built a lead as high as 21 points (29-8).
Sophomore Marissa Janning rallied her troops by heating up behind the arc. Janning sank five three-pointers in the opening frame, while the Bluejays hit eight trifectas as a team in the first half. Unfortunately the Bluejays hit just two from inside the arc in the opening 20 minutes and trailed 44-28 at the break.
Despite a three-pointer in the closing seconds of the first half, Creighton could not capitalize on the momentum in the second period. The Bluejays scored the first two points of the period on free-throws from senior McKenzie Fujan, but Creighton hit just one bucket in the first 11 minutes. The Jays' shooting woes allowed Oklahoma to as much as 33 points at 73:40 (4:43).
Creighton responded with a 7-0 run on a layup from freshman Brianna Rollerson, a trey from Janning and two free throws from sophomore Tessa Leytem. The game, however, was out of reach as Oklahoma's 28-point win was the largest defeat the Bluejays have suffered since #3 Notre Dame downed Creighton, 76-48, on Dec. 4, 2011.
Shooting was a struggle for the Bluejays throughout the contest as Creighton made just 15 field goals in the game, including just six in the second half.
Janning was the only Bluejay to finish in double figures, equaling a career-high with six three-pointers.
Sharane Campbell led the way for Oklahoma with a career-high 25 points. Two other Sooners finished in double-figures, 17 points from Nicole Griffin and 13 by Aaryn Ellenberg.
The Bluejays return home to face Brigham Young on Saturday, Dec. 7 in D.J. Sokol Arena at 2:05 p.m.

At one point in the 2008 Oscar-nominated film "Frost/Nixon," former President Richard Nixon, played by Frank Langella, says, "Retired people are the most bored people in the world." While some retirees might scoff at that remark, others no doubt agree there's an element of truth to it.
Perhaps boredom is one reason many seniors continue to work past retirement age. According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), 47 percent of male seniors and 34 percent of female seniors were employed in 2007.
That those figures were from 2007 is significant, as it indicates this was before the economic downturn of 2008-09, a consequence of which was more seniors returning to the workforce.
For many seniors, though, working isn't simply a means to earn money. In fact, seniors who continued working past the age of 70 earned an average of just $20,000 in 2007. Seniors also tend to work to have something to do. For seniors looking to do just that, there are a host of employment or even volunteer opportunities that can help seniors stay busy and possibly put a little extra money in their pockets.
*Local park service. Many local park services hire seniors to help keep the parks clean. These are often seasonal opportunities, making them ideal for seniors who live in different cities depending on the seasons.
*Golf course. Golf courses are other seasonal businesses, at least in much of the country, that also boast lots of part-time opportunities for seniors. For example, golf courses need rangers, who ensure all golfers play by the rules and respect the course, and even maintenance staff, who do everything from cut the grass to maintaining gardens. These can also pull double duty, providing seniors with daily exercise to help them stay healthy.
*School systems. Local school districts also have volunteer opportunities that can be ideal for seniors. Positions such as crossing guard or even helping out with the local athletic teams don't require much of a commitment and can be rewarding and fun for seniors.
*Consultant work. Seniors who miss the thrill of business don't have to give it up completely simply because they're retired. Many seniors earn a handsome amount of money by working as consultants, using their vast experience to help the next generation. What's more, consultants often work on their own schedule, an ideal situation for seniors with a passion for business but an equal passion for the positives of retirement.
*Volunteer. Many programs that help indigent citizens get by every day welcome seniors as volunteers. Meal delivery services and other programs that cater to the sick are often in need of a helping hand. The local area of Carbon and Emery counties have many volunteer opportunities for those wanting to lend a helping hand in many aspects of the community including health care, child care and people who are home bound.

Buzz: Nino Niederreiter Is Seeking A Trade (Updates)
Update, 3:45pm: Arthur Staple gets a quote from Garth Snow:
3:40pm: Niederreiter has a bit of history with being upset about his role. Last year, he tweeted cryptically about his role on the team early in the season (that link also discusses the cap implications of him being on the 2011-12 team).
3:25pm: More from Strang:
During the lockout, Niederreiter began the year in Bridgeport and has flourished, leaving him and his camp baffled as to why he didn't get a chance to crack the roster.
According to a tweet from Katie Strang of ESPN NY, Nino Niederreiter is requesting a trade from the Islanders organization because he is unhappy with his current situation.
Kevin Schultz
Ryan Strome was promptly returned to junior without as much as a five-game tryout. Casey Cizikas has played five minutes in two games with the big club. Aaron Ness is arguably in the conversation of being held down as well. Niederreiter and defender Matt Donovan are both AHL All-Stars and both weren't even invited to training camp. Now, one of those players is (reportedly) unhappy enough with the snub to ask for a trade. If Niederreiter is unhappy a big question becomes; how do the others feel?
Giving Niederreiter another year to develop in the minors is a good idea in my opinion but if this tweet is true and it's how Niederreiter truly feels, then by not inviting him to camp or giving him any kind of a look for the big club, the Islanders don't even know their own player. Imagine how it feels to be Niederreiter, a year removed from the big club, making less money, sitting on buses, watching the Islanders pick up four players off the waiver wire. All those players were given spots on the big club. Niederreiter, among others, not even invited.
It's also not right for Niederreiter (or someone in his camp) to be pushing this public. It kills his trade value and it won't get him promoted immediately, as the Islanders won't give in to the demands of a 20-year old. He should be able to handle the situation privately at the very least. But after being mishandled by being stuck on a fourth line with poor talent for all of last season, Niederreiter was mishandled again this year by not getting a look at camp. No wonder why he looked extra motivated at the scrimmage last week.
Stay tuned.

Brace yourselves – Android tablet costs $150. This is not much of a surprise considering the fact that the Augen Gen of Touch 78 version, holding a pirated application of the Android is being sold with the help of Kmart. Android being freely distributed, one needs licenses to use some proprietary Google apps, and it looks like for these licenses, Augen didn't want to spring any expenses.
In order to receive the licenses of having Google applications (such as Google Maps, most likely the Market of android), one should be a part of Alliance for Open cellphone. Augen is not the reason for which some quirks in software are found. The Market of Android is present even in that tablet, but you will still not be allowed to download apps. Instead, applications can just be browsed until your eyes start bleeding. Although this is by far one of the best bargains you will ever be able to get, but a resistive feature of touch screen is quite bad. Apart from this, to add ice to this cake, the Market of Android has been installed only for viewing applications.
Just when the Augen tablet became a cheap Shkit piece, it won't let you have the ability to install apps from Market, and you got to be limited by the feature of resistive and sensitively pressure handler touch screen. But I wonder if there had been any way to perform some magic and enable ADB to push and pull, that will let you be allowed to install apps from the line of command. If one of them were to have success in it, this wouldn't be that bad having the Gen of Touch 78 version. It is not being said that it would be so good though, it never would be that poor in quality. It goes to just show that really there is no desirable tablet of Android around yet; I hardly think as well that Dell's Streak may fit the bill.

The Beatles
The Beatles Radio
The Beatles cast such a large shadow over their contemporaries -- even the most popular of them -- that sometimes it's difficult to distinguish what they actually contributed to the world of pop music and what they simply popularized. Something they definitely did do was open the floodgates for the British Invasion of the '60s, beginning, for all intents and purposes, with Ed Sullivan's portentous introduction in the beginning of 1964: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles." Popular music has never been the same; at least that's definite. They were also one of the first bands to take rock 'n' roll and merge it with other forms like popular standards, folk (with a little help from Bob Dylan), blues, etc. And although they are often derided for their weaknesses as a true-blue, hard-living, hard-rocking, parent-frightening, cooler-than-all band, one need only compare the versions of "I Wanna Be Your Man" as done by the Fab Four and by the Rolling Stones; their early days in Hamburg taught them well the rules of blistering rock 'n' roll. At least their retreat from the stage was matched by a wealth of awesome material -- everything from the "Penny Lane" / "Strawberry Fields Forever" single to what was to be the band's death knell, "The End" off of Abbey Road, was arguably the most advanced popular music of the time. They had the resources, the talent, the producer ("fifth Beatle" George Martin) and the desire to push the boundaries of their music. Even more amazing is that it has maintained such a grip on the public's ear and imagination.
