It looks like Apple's next iPhone will have a 4-inch display. The Wall Street Journal has confirmed a number of earlier reports about the new iPhone's screen size, and as further confirmation that this is the final word, the paper also reported that the panel orders for the 4-inch screen have been placed with Apple's suppliers- LG Display, Sharp and Japan Display.
Leaving your valuable Apple iPhone 4S and iPad 3 devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags and sleeves for your iPad3 from top brands Be.ez, Incase, and Targus.

Rumors on the new Apple's screen size have been bouncing back and forth for awhile. One minute we hear a 3.5-inch prediction and the next it's back to the 4.0-inch guess. It looks like the smart money was on a 4-inch screen. Remaining at the 3.5-inch size would have kept the iPhone essentially at the same screen dimensions as the iPhone 4's that launched way back in 2010.
Apple's decision to go with the larger screen is, in part, a competitive response to Samsung's next Galaxy smartphone model that has a 4.8-inch touch-screen. Samsung became the world's largest cell phone maker this year, and sold 45 million smartphones in the first quarter. Sales of the Galaxy phones outstripped the iPhone.
Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and XMI Speakers all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
Some would say that it's about time Apple increased the iPhone's screen size. People want larger screens. We are getting used to using smartphones for things we once did on laptops - watch videos, create documents, and read maps. Other smartphone manufacturers have been moving towards bigger displays for quite some time.
According to Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee, "a shakeup in the design of a larger-screen iPhone could go a long way in boosting its 'wow' factor, convincing fans to trade in their old iPhones for new ones. Not only do users pay for features, but they also pay for aesthetics and design. That's as important, or more important, than features. People love the current design -- but it's 18 months old."

CANTON Former General Brown and Syracuse University athlete Ashley Pike has been named to the position of assistant coordinator of student-athlete development at St. Lawrence University.
Pike, who will continue to serve as an assistant coach on the womens lacrosse team, will work alongside Franco Bari to help strengthen the Student-Athlete Development Program and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Ashley has been an outstanding member of our department for several years, and I am confident she will do a tremendous job in this new role, SLU Athletic Director Margie Strait said.
Pike, a 2007 graduate of Syracuse and a native of Watertown, joined the Saints womens lacrosse coaching staff for the 2010 campaign. She was a standout player for the Orange, including making third-team All-America as a senior. Pike served as a volunteer assistant at Syracuse before her arrival at St. Lawrence.

From top to toe: How to wear men's dress shoes
So you want to look smart, but you're not sure where to start? Or maybe you're already a fashionable fellow, looking for a few tips on wearing dress shoes. Either way, take a look at this week's blog.
Not too tall, not too short, just right: How do you measure up in a relationship?
At Altitude Shoes, we've blogged previously about the ideal height difference in a relationship and were interested to find this study recently conducted by YouGov (July 2014), which researched men and women to find the heights that they felt were ideal or acceptable for a romantic partner, compared against actual (self-reported) average heights. Wanting to keep our readers informed, we've outlined the findings below. Continue reading
Tall tales about Napoleon: Not as short as you may have heard
Napoléon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821) was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the latter stages of the French Revolution and its associated wars. Although British propaganda of the time promoted the idea that Napoleon was short – and this belief prevails even today – his height was actually "average" for the period. Continue reading
Top Tips for Wearing Loafers with Style and Flair
As a shoe, the loafer straddles the realm between dress and casual, allowing many a man to comfortably smarten up a pair of shorts for a summer picnic, or dress down a suit, achieving a effortless and fashionable result. Due to the casual history of the loafer, it is unlikely to ever be considered a truly formal men's shoe. But by following a few simple pointers, you can be sure to pull off a stylish ensemble with comfort and flair.
History of the Loafer: A Comfortable, Stylish Walk Down Memory Lane
Throughout time, loafers have adorned the feet of royals, been improved by Norwegians and popularised by Europeans and Americans alike. But where does the loafer come from? Let us walk you through its evolution from humble house shoe, to casual outdoor shoe, to "perfectly acceptable with a suit" shoe. Continue reading
How to Get Taller
Society has accustomed us to linking taller men with masculine qualities such as success, ambition and confidence. Taller men often get the girl, the job and the promotion among other rewards. Why? Because height is an indicator of good genes and this helps in the worlds of dating and business where people judge you and make assumptions about you based on how you look and dress. It is not fair, but it is reality. Continue reading
Impressive historical figures under 5'5"
There are literally hundreds of famous individuals who have disproved the theory that being short impedes success. Two of those include Beethoven and Picasso. Continue reading
The Birth of Altitude Shoes
Altitude Shoes was born when its founder wanted more out of life and realised what it took to do just that. An ambitious man in his late 20s, he had already achieved excellence in several fields; however, he felt there was something missing. He was short. And he wanted to be taller. So, he set out to turn this short-term disadvantage into a long-term advantage.
Fashion Icons for the "Vertically Challenged" Man
Although catwalks typically feature hulking men that passed six feet in their teens, fashion icons come in all shapes and sizes. Whether they are barely over 5ft and sporting height increasing shoes or whether they are just a few inches shy of 6ft, men take inspiration from all corners when it comes to their personal style. Here, we take a look at some of the pint-sized icons who have created their own fashion niche and inspired men everywhere.
The Perfect Gap: What is the ideal height difference in a relationship?
In the grand scheme of things, height compatibility might not seem like the most important thing in a relationship. However height is often a key feature in what we judge to make a person 'attractive', and men and women alike are often turned off by a large disparity in height. Because of this, men and women tend to have ideas about what is the ideal height and the ideal height difference between them and their perfect partner. This is especially apparent in people who markedly above or below average height. Continue reading
The history of the heel: Men wore them first
In modern culture and fashion, wearing high heels is almost exclusively a 'feminine' thing. Today men may feel self-conscious about wearing heeled shoes, and shoes that do add height for men are usually referred to as 'lifts', 'cubans' or 'elevator shoes' rather than 'heels'. In light of this, many people may be surprised to learn that historically it was actually men who started the trend of wearing high heels.
Extreme Measures for Extreme Height: 3 Insane Ways to Get Taller
Height is often such a touchy subject that some will try literally anything to be taller - even if it dangerous. While many smaller-than-average people opt for certain clothing choices or heeled shoes to add the appearance of height, some are so desperate that they resort to chemicals or even surgery to add actual inches to their body. While adding the appearance of height does have certain benefits, there are much cheaper, safer and generally more sane ways to look taller than forcing your body to stretch or grow. Here are three crazy ways to get taller that we certainly would not recommend at home, no matter how short you are!
Is there a correlation between height and IQ?
It is well-known both anecdotally and statistically that taller people generally have it better in life. They have higher levels of self-esteem, they get paid more and they are more likely to have successful relationships. But incredibly, there is also evidence to suggest that taller people also have an intelligence advantage. Continue reading

Winter Fashion Essentials For Every Man's Wardrobe

Perfect for city slickers and country mansions, no man's wardrobe should be without these winter essentials this year… Continue reading
Can Being Taller Pay Off in your Career?
While it makes sense that giant NBA players are getting a good wage, few people actually realise that it is not just in sports where height can tender an career advantage. Recent research has confirmed again what many analysts have long suspected: taller people tend to go further in business and are better paid than their shorter colleagues. So why is it that height can transfer to career success so easily, and just what can you do about it if you're not naturally blessed with height? Continue reading

The new 3.5-inch, advanced 1,230,000-dot equivalent Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display provides vivid colors, high contrast, and dramatically improved responsiveness compared to traditional LCD screens. A wide-view angle (over 80 degrees at all angles) aids in composition versatility, and regular chromaticity adjustments, prompted by the camcorder, ensure correct brightness and faithful color reproduction.
The 0.24-inch tilt-type color electronic viewfinder on the XA25 has approximately 100% field of view, and 1,560,000 dots of resolution help ensure critical focus adjustment, with peaking applied if necessary. A joystick located to the right of the viewfinder, where the thumb rests, enables control of camera settings on the viewscreen without having to use touch panel controls.

The study outlined is designed to measure and to determine whether the combined use of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferoI) and 1-alpha-hydroxyvitamin D2 (doxercalciferol)) or doxercalciferol alone will correct the mineralization defect in pediatric patients with established secondary hyperparathyroidism (2°HPT) undergoing regular peritoneal dialysis. Serum phosphorus levels will be controlled with a calcium¬-free-metal free phosphate binder; (obtained at baseline and after 8 months of treatment) sevelamer. Indices of bone mineralization obtained at baseline and after 8 months of treatment will be measured by quantitative histomorphometry in iliac crest bone biopsies after double tetracycline labeling. Immunohistochemistry will be done in specimens of bone biopsies from iliac crest to examine the expression for selected markers of bone turnover and mineralization such as FGF-23, DMP1, MEPE and OPG. Serum PTH levels will be measured with the 1st and 2nd generation immunometric assay (PTH-IMAs) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) will be determined by one assay with specific detection antibodies that are against epitopes within the C-terminus of FGF-23 and another assay that uses antibodies against epitopes within the N- and C-terminal portions of the molecule respectively. The value of non-invasive assessment of bone mass by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and its relationship with vascular disease determined by ultrasound (US) of intimal carotid thickness (CIMT) will be correlated with bone histomorphometry and the different biochemical determinations.

Ritual and Technology in Chinese Ceremonial Weapons
Presented by Harvard Art Museums at Harvard Art Museums/Arthur M. Sackler Museum
September 19, 2012
Rowan Flad, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Harvard University. Ariel O'Connor, Assistant Objects Conservator, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies, Harvard Art Museums
Ornately decorated ritual weapons from the Xia and Shang dynasties (c. 2070–1046 BC) exemplify strength, power, and elitism in early Chinese society, yet little is known about their manufacture and use. Examining these objects through scienti?c methods, including X-radiography and micro-CT scanning, has yielded new observations about early technology, production organization, and burial practices in ancient China. This gallery talk will highlight recent scienti?c analysis in combination with archaeological and contextual evidence to reveal new insights into elite ritual weapons in ancient Chinese society.
This series considers objects from more than one point of view. The informal talks, many of them by Harvard Art Museums curators, conservators, and educators and Harvard University faculty members, are designed to stimulate thinking about works of art and to encourage participants to explore their own ways of seeing.
Free with the price of admission.
Gallery talks are informal and include discussion. Limited to 25 participants; please arrive early.

The Utah Highway Patrol said Christiansen apparently was heading east toward Price when he struck an elk in the road, veered into the westbound lane and collided with the semi. UHP said speed and alcohol were not factors in the accident. The driver and passenger in the semi, both of Houston, Texas, had only minor injuries. US-6 was closed for more than three hours for cleanup and investigation.

|A Red Plate State
|Written by Dave Blanks
|Wednesday, 11 April 2007 04:36
Standard license plates in North Carolina will have their first new look in 25 years when tag numbers become red instead of blue starting Monday.The redesign will keep the 1980s lettering of "North Carolina," and the background will retain the faint sea grass and the Wright brothers' plane. Officials said most states rotate their tag designs every five to 15 years. North Carolina last changed the standard design in 1982. Only Delaware, which uses a 1962 design, has kept the same standard design longer than North Carolina. The state has allocated $1.2 million to distribute more than 600,000 new plates during the first year to replace plates that begin with letters A through H.

Oklahoma! A Paramount Theatrical Production
This is the show that set the standard for all future musicals by incorporating music, lyrics and dance into a well-crafted serious story. It's also the debut collaboration of one of the most prolific writing teams in American theater history – Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In the midst of it all, is the rugged cowboy Curly, who's fallen for the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to start a new life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma! Nominated for 7 Tony Awards and winner of a Pulitzer Prize, this is the show that sets the standard for the 2015-16 Paramount Broadway Season. It's filled with some of the most recognized songs in theatre including "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "People Will Say We're in Love," and of course, the resounding "Ok-la-hom-a," – all performed by the Paramount's full-orchestra. Bring the entire family and experience Paramount's Oklahoma! This will be the production everyone is talking about this fall. Music by Richard Rodgers Book & Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Based on "Green Grow the Lilacs" by Lynn Riggs Original dances by Agnew De Mille Directed by Paramount Artistic Director Jim Corti.
A Christmas Story - The Musical at the Paramount Theatre
One of the most watched and beloved Holiday movies ever made comes to life in a full-blown musical production on the Paramount stage. It's the story of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker growing up in middle-America in the 1940s. With Christmas right around the corner, Ralphie has his bespectacled sights set on one thing – a Red Ryder BB Gun. But at every turn, the young daydreamer hears those five words that are the bane of his existence: "you'll shoot your eye out." It's a story filled with laughs, dreams, warmth and family. A story filled with a department store Santa, a Leg Lamp, a Snow Suit and friends that will never leave your side – even if your tongue is stuck to a Flag Pole. The music is energetic, unforgettable and ranges from gentle ballads to full-on show-stopping numbers. The imagery takes you back to an easier time we often long for, but the message stays the same: family, friendship, love – the holidays are nothing without them. Bring your family and celebrate the holidays with the perfect feel-good musical for the season.
West Side Story: A Paramount Theatrical Production
It's quite possibly one of the greatest love stories ever to be told in a musical. Set in the blue-collar neighborhood of New York's Upper West Side, racial tensions run high as residents try to grind out a daily living. A turf war is being fought as the Jets, a white gang, and the Sharks, a Puerto Rican gang, battle over boundaries. In the heart of the turmoil, former Jets member Tony meets Maria at a local dance. The chemistry is instantaneous, and for a few hours, there is no race, no hatred, no barriers, just two young people in love. But Maria is the sister of Sharks' leader Bernardo, and no one is going to make it easy for Tony and Maria to escape.
Hairspray: The Broadway Musical at the Paramount Theatre
Tracy Turnblad is a plus-size teen with plus-size hair, and she has one big plus-size dream – to dance her way onto Baltimore's smash hit TV show, "The Corny Collins Show."

When a dance slot opens on the show, Tracy gets help from her friend Seaweed, who puts enough groove in her step to win that dream role – and life is never the same again. But Tracy doesn't rest on her stardom, instead she uses her new celebrity to racially integrate the TV show and change the lives of Baltimore folks forever. Based on the John Waters hit movie, Hairspray is a high-octane ride with thrilling choreography, rockin' tunes and explosively colorful costumes – plus some really cool hairdos. More importantly, under all the glitz, Hairspray reminds us of the importance of individuality and the acceptance of one another: a wonderful message to share with everyone.

When a tragedy — such as a natural disaster, mass shooting or terrorist attack — occurs, it can be hard to know how to talk to your child about what happened. What do you say? How much will he or she understand? Find out how to start the conversation and what you can do to help your child cope.
Talking to your child about a tragedy can help him or her understand what's happened, feel safe and begin to cope.
If you don't speak to your child about a tragedy, there's a good chance that he or she might hear about it from someone else — whether from the news, the radio, social media, friends or family. Not talking about a tragedy also might give your child the sense that what happened is too horrible to talk about, which could make the event seem even more threatening.
There's not necessarily a right or wrong way to talk to your child about a tragic event. Start by taking time to think about what you want to say.
When you're ready, choose a time when your child is most likely to want to talk, such as at bedtime. You might start by asking your child what he or she already knows about the tragedy. What has your child heard in school or seen on TV? Ask your child what questions or concerns he or she might have. Let your child's answers guide your discussion.
Do your best to make your child feel comfortable asking questions and discussing what happened. However, don't force your child to talk if he or she isn't ready.
When talking to your child about a tragedy, tell the truth. Focus on the basics, and avoid sharing unnecessary details. Don't exaggerate or speculate about what might happen. Avoid dwelling on the scale or scope of the tragedy.
Listen closely to your child for misinformation, misconceptions and underlying fears. Take time to provide accurate information. Share your own thoughts and remind your child that you're there for him or her. Also, be sure to explain to your child that the event isn't his or her fault.
Your child's age will play a major role in how he or she processes information about a tragedy. Consider these tips:
Be prepared to repeat information that might be hard for your child to understand or accept. If your child asks the same question repeatedly, keep in mind that he or she might be looking for reassurance.
After a tragic event, your child might experience a range of emotions, including fear, shock, anger, anxiety and grief. Your child's age will affect how he or she handles the stress of a tragedy. For example:
These reactions are normal. However, if your child continues to display these behaviors for more than two to four weeks, or they appear later on, he or she might need more help coping. If your child has experienced previous trauma, remember that he or she might be at greater risk of a severe reaction. If you're concerned about your child's reaction, talk to a mental health provider.
You might feel helpless, but you can take steps to help your child process what happened. For example:
It might be the last thing on your mind, but caring for yourself after a tragedy is important, too. Pay attention to your own feelings of grief, anger or anxiety. Lean on loved ones for support or talk to a mental health provider. Get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet and stay active. Taking care of yourself will enable you to care for your child and serve as a role model for how to cope.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 40 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hr
IngredientsFor pastry cream:
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1/3 cup sugar, divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 2 pounds Golden Delicious apples (about 4)
- 1 pound frozen all-butter puff pastry, thawed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons water
- Equipment: a 6-inch-diameter bowl or plate; a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter; a 10-inch disposable pastry bag or sealable plastic bag
- Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream
Make pastry cream:
Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with tip of a paring knife into a small heavy saucepan. Add pod, milk, and 3 Tbsp sugar and bring just to a boil, whisking to dissolve sugar.
Meanwhile, whisk together flour, cornstarch, remaining sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk together whole egg and yolk in another bowl, then whisk in flour mixture until smooth.
Add one third of hot milk mixture to yolk mixture (to temper) in a slow stream, whisking, then add to milk mixture remaining in saucepan, whisking. Bring custard to a boil over medium heat, whisking, then boil, whisking, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
Transfer pastry cream to a bowl and chill, its surface covered with wax paper, until no longer hot, at least 30 minutes.
Make tarts:
Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel and core apples, then cut into 1/8-inch-thick wedges.
Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin 1/8 inch thick and cut out 8 (6-inch) rounds using inverted bowl or plate as a guide. Punch out center of each round with cookie cutter and transfer to baking sheets.
Discard vanilla pod and transfer pastry cream to pastry bag. Snip a 1/3-inch opening and pipe pastry cream onto pastry in a ring around center (there will be some cream left over). Arrange overlapping apple slices on pastry, covering the cream, then brush with melted butter.
Bake tarts, switching position of sheets halfway through, until edges of apples are pale golden, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together corn syrup and water until smooth.
Remove baking sheets from oven and flip each tart over with a large spatula. Generously brush pastry with some of corn syrup mixture.
Continue to bake, switching position of sheets halfway through, until pastry is shiny and golden, about 15 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes.
Serve tarts, pastry side up, warm or at room temperature.
Cooks' notes:
Pastry cream can be chilled up to 3 days. Stir before using.
Pastry can be rolled out and cut 1 week ahead and frozen, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. Do not thaw.
Tarts can be baked 4 hours ahead. Reheat in a 350°F oven 5 to 10 minutes.

I wish there were more fans in the stand. (maybe due to the weather)
I'm guessing she's staying few more days in Korea because of the flight delay caused by volcanic ash?

A woman in Idaho has filed the first ever lawsuit against the "fetal pain" abortion ban. Filed by Jennie Linn McCormack against Bannock County, the lawsuit contends that the new law that bans abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy because of fetal pain is a violation of the Constitution.
Idaho is one of six states — the others being Kansas, Alabama, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Nebraska — to enact the fetal pain abortion ban in six years. Nebraska was the first to pass legislation that bans abortions after 20 weeks because of fetal pain at that stage of development. LifeSiteNews.com explains the premise behind the bans:
The science behind the concept of fetal pain is fully established and Dr. Steven Zielinski, an internal medicine physician from Oregon, is one of the leading researchers into it. He first published reports in the 1980s to validate research showing evidence for it.
He has testified before Congress that an unborn child could feel pain at "eight-and-a-half weeks and possibly earlier" and that a baby before birth "under the right circumstances, is capable of crying."

First-round pick J.T. Miller, 18, has decided to
play for the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League next season
rather than attend the University of North Dakota.
After Miller was first drafted it was reported that he'd
decided on UND, but Miller also made
his plans of turning pro in a year clear. The University of North Dakota has produced superstars Jonathan Toews
and Zach Parise in recent years, but attending college wouldn't have put Miller
on the fast-track to the NHL that he desired.
Playing in the OHL means Miller will play a similar schedule to that of the NHL and should give him a better
chance to develop his offensive game, which right now is his greatest
weakness. Miller's body, solid two-way
play, physicality and intangibles all seem to be there, but his consistency on
offense is an issue. Miller will be
joining a Plymouth
squad that will feature fellow first-round picks Stefan
Noesen and Rickard
Rakell and fell to the Owen Sound Attack in the OHL Western Conference
Semi-Finals in 2010-2011.
Miller's decision has drawn mixed reviews. On the one hand, he is set on making it to the NHL as soon as possible and has chosen a path that could lead him there earlier than expected. On the other, Miller may have reneged on his word to go to North Dakota and as Jess Rubenstein believes, he may be misguided in the notion that he can turn pro next year.
If all goes perfectly for Miller, he could have an outside shot at joining the
Blueshirts next season. Like Christian
Thomas this season, Miller would be ineligible for the AHL, so his plan of
turning pro means he'll be in New
York or he'll be forced to play a second season in
the OHL.
Time will tell how Miller develops, but this is a stark
contrast to the slower development of fellow left wing prospect Chris Kreider who
is about to begin his third season of collegiate hockey. Kreider should have a strong chance to join
the Rangers next year, but Miller's decision to pursue his NHL dream on fast
forward could create an interesting competition between the two down the road.
- New York signed Andreas
Thuresson to a one-year, two-way deal today. The 23-year-old right wing was acquired from Nashville for Brodie
Dupont on July 2. Thuresson has played
25 games in the NHL and will almost certainly begin the season with the CT
Whale, but he could be in the mix for an early call up if the Rangers face
injury woes again.
- The Rangers also locked up one of their three remaining
restricted free agents this afternoon, signing
Brian Boyle to a three-year, $5.1 million deal. Boyle was expected to get somewhere between
$1.5 million and $3 million, though most estimates had him between $1.5 million
and $2 million. An agent told The Boston Globe last week that he
expected Boyle to get $1.75 million and Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan to
get $4.25 million apiece.
Though Boyle has really only had one decent season in the
NHL, centers with his size and ability are extremely rare. It will be interesting to see how he handles the
added pressure and expectations next year, but his role might be very different
with the addition
of Brad Richards. Boyle figures to
be fourth on the center depth chart (unless Derek
Stepan is moved to left wing) which might reduce his ice-time and
opportunities. If Boyle becomes the
team's fourth-line center, he will probably be the league's best and it will be
important that Coach John Tortorella finds a way to roll all four lines because
Boyle is certainly deserving of significant minutes. The Rangers now have somewhere between $8
million and $11 million remaining to sign Dubinsky, Callahan and a depth
- Jess Rubenstein notes that Miller and Rangers' fifth-round pick Shane McColgan were invited to attend the 2011 USA
Hockey Under-20 National Junior Evaluation Camp.
