Primary focal hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a debilitating condition affecting approximately 3% of the population in the United States. Not only that it is a major social embarrassment to affected individuals, it also has significant negative impacts on career, school, and relationship. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A), a sterile neurotoxin purified from Clostridium bacteria, was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in 2004 for the treatment of severe focal axillary hyperhidrosis that does not respond to topical antiperspirants. It is becoming a promising treatment for many patients suffering this condition. Over the past decade, the medication has also been used effectively for many other forms of focal hyperhidrosis such as the hands, feet, forehead, scalp and groin. Unfortunately, BTX-A injection for primary focal hyperhidrosis of the palms and soles are often limited by pain and post treatment muscle weakness associated with the procedure. Recent studies have demonstrated that BTX-A can be delivered across the skin via electric current using a medical device, called iontophoresis (FDA 510(k) clearance # K042590 or Phoresor IIPM700). Studies with limited number of patients have demonstrated promising results with this new treatment.

Out of a gazillion pictures, this is the only one that didn't make me hate the world, so here it is. And it was an accident, at that! I think it's sort of funny, so I've decided to keep it and all. And for pure randomness's sake, here are some bullet-type points, which you may peruse and keep in your pocket if the mood strikes (or something):
-The Weather (large W) has done strange things to my sinuses. I pray to my penny loafers I am not getting sick.
-I have successfully chest hooped, and I am quite proud. I credit my new yoga pants.
- I plan an update for the store tomorrow, including selling things I planned on keeping.
Interruption: I have to say, selling vintage type things changes one's perspective on the whole thing. Suddenly, things I would have clung to before and treasured as fantastic finds are different. I keep thinking, Oh! I could always find something better. I wonder if this is just part of the way it is. There is always a more adorable and perfect vintage dress somewhere, and it's like you have to sell away all the others to find the one that is meant for you. Hahaa!
-I have watched this video about 47 times in the past 3 days. I am obsessed. It makes me so happy it should not be allowed! It's like a little pony.
I am very "into" strange and creepy houses lately. I keep doodling them in my journal (my favorite bits are the vines, I love the vines!).
found here.
Similarly, only not, I would be happy as a clam if I could dress like Matilde in A Very Long Engagement. Mostly, I am quite scattered! My outfits have been pleasing, in secret, to me at least. Although I have started a new job, and am beyond exhausted and have yet to figure out once again how to balance things. It's quite hard, I think, to get back into the swing of it all after a long while. But spring is coming, and I love skirts!

Middle Ages
Life in Europe was pretty tough after the Roman Empire fell. Trade and commerce collapsed, travel was dangerous, and the educational system was so poor that kings and nobles couldn't even write their own names. Nevertheless, the Middle Ages, as this era is known today, saw the rise of great military and political leaders, as well as amazing artistic, poetic, and architectural achievements. In this BrainPOP movie, Tim explains what life in Europe was like between 500 and 1500 C.E. You'll hear about kings like Charlemagne and William the Conqueror, discover what the feudal system was all about, and find out why tens of thousands of men fought in religious wars called Crusades. So grab the nearest serf, head to your castle's computer room, and enjoy this movie!

MASSENA A group of veterans and supporters is focusing efforts on building a veterans hospital in Ogdensburg, but administrators at Massena Memorial Hospital say they already have the makings of a regional U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical center.
Operation Veterans has been trying to find ways to bring medical services closer to vets since the group formed in 2011. At a meeting Tuesday with state officials in Albany, the group will propose the Pritchard Building at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center in Ogdensburg as a possible site for the hospital.
But Mark P. Brouillette, Massena Memorial Hospital senior director of ancillary services, says that instead of duplicating services and funding a new medical center in Ogdensburg, his hospital is well-positioned and interested in expanding its clinic to offer many of the services provided by VA medical centers in Syracuse and Albany.
Massenas VA Outpatient Clinic, which recently was renovated, occupies 2,900 square feet in the third wing of Massena Memorial.
Through a reimbursement program with the Syracuse VA, the Massena hospital has steadily added services for veterans over the years, Massena Memorial spokeswoman Tina R. Corcoran said. The clinic offers primary care services and examinations such as mammograms, X-rays and immunizations.
The clinic now receives over 1,000 visits every month for patients seeking primary and mental health care, Mr. Brouillette said Friday.
Mr. Brouillette said he invites Operation Veterans to meet with his hospitals advisory board to discuss ways to improve services.
However, Navy veteran and Operation Veterans member Joseph M. Cosentino says that the Massena clinics services are minimal and that patients still have to travel to Albany or Syracuse for major medical services or surgery.
Mr. Cosentino said the approximately 50,000 veterans in St. Lawrence, Lewis and Jefferson counties cant wait for those services to become available in Massena. Our main objective is to get more services for veterans that need it, he said.
Mr. Cosentino said he hopes the state will fund a feasibility study to determine how much the Ogdensburg project would cost and whether state or federal funding is available.
If we can get the governor and Veterans Affairs to conduct a feasibility study, that will give us an idea if it is feasible or not, Mr. Cosentino said. If we cant get it done there, we may have to go with Massena Memorial.

In October 1962, Nick Holonyak and colleagues at General Electric built the first practical light-emitting diode, or LED, that could emit visible light. Semiconductor LEDs are now a part of uncountable electronic devices. They've gone from being just a glowing indicator light on a control panel to being a source of room lighting, with many improvements in color, size, efficiency, and cost. Holonyak discusses the invention, and his work since then.
In the SciFri Snack: Nick Holonyak, who invented the LED 50 years ago, is still working on a bunch of projects, including a transistor laser. In this 10 second clip, he tells our listeners to get working on their own projects. Hear more SciFri Snacks or leave a comment at SoundCloud.

For the collaboration, each participant created a version of the Integral, both linked by the common application of tone and materials. The first sneaker builds layer upon layer of mint and cool grey, and places it all atop a black midsole splattered with white speckles. The combination of black suede, mint nubuck and grey leather is complemented by a mesh toe box for a highly detailed yet subtle sneaker. The second pair makes use of violet and salmon and feature a chunky white midsole adorned with grey speckles.
[UPDATE] The sneakers will be available straight from Sneaker Freaker on November 1, followed by a release on December 7 at all adidas Consortium retailers.

Founded by a former Wall Street Journal culture reporter, Kill Screen is a videogame arts and culture company. We're interested in the intersection between games, play, and other seats of culture, from art to music to design.
To that end, we publish a website and a magazine as well as organize events such as our groundbreaking Arcade at the Museum of Modern Art, film festival with Rooftop Films, and programming for the New York Film Festival. We've teamed up with writers from GQ, Esquire, the New Yorker, Colbert Report and others, and the press has been great so far—Wired, Ars Technica, and NPR have praised us and the New Yorker called us "the McSweeney's of interactive media." TIME said our writing was so "polished that they might help convince doubters that games are worth taking seriously."
One of the most unpleasant by-products of our Puritan ancestry is the negative association between fun and work. We are told: if you are having fun, you are not working. Fun is simple-minded; work is struggle; time is money. Time spent in play must be a waste, right?
We think play is a fundamental human endeavor. Play motivates us and speaks to our most natural human inclinations. Play greases the wheels of social interaction. A life immersed in play is a life well-spent.
Out of the sprites of Spacewar!, games have burgeoned into a diverse and sometimes magical field. Games at their best reflect all of the wonder, beauty, and intelligence found in music, film, theatre, literature, and the rest of the arts. We believe that our conversation should not dwell on whether games deserve their place in the pantheon of the arts, but *which* games deserve it.
We are moving out of a world where people ask "Do you play games?," and moving into one where we ask "What games do you play?" Everyone plays. The term "gamer," however, connotes one highly specific culture. There is nothing wrong with the popular expression "gamer", nor with that culture, but we are more interested in the question of what type? as opposed to whether at all.
No medium matures on its own. Rock n' roll had Rolling Stone, the Internet had Wired, fashion had Vogue. We believe that Kill Screen can be this advocate for the true, the beautiful, and the good in games.
It is a common misconception that games are something apart from the rest of creative production. Nothing could be further from the truth. Game-making is a fundamentally creative act and those that pursue it face the same dilemmas as painters, musicians, dancers, and poets. To make games is simply to make.
The moat around games is partly of game makers own design. Game creators have not received the necessary exposure for the public to respect games as art. At times, gamemakers have hidden themselves from the public. At their worst, games can be insular, narrow-minded, and pandering. We want Kill Screen to help bring culture to games and games to culture.
In the history of games, only a handful have been single player. Yet games possess the reputation as private and anti-social. We believe that all games are social. They are either played with others or played against the designer herself. We believe that all games should be played, and more importantly, discussed, with one another.
Games generate billions of dollars of revenue for global economies, yet they are barely covered by the financial press. Games make a lot of money but do not yet command much attention.
The range of creative products over the past decade demonstrates a real shift in the demographics of gamers and the interests of game makers. We believe that everyone has the perfect game waiting for them.
The Comics Code Authority led to book-burnings that set back sequential art a half century in the United States. The Hays Code regulated the film industry's output and prevented the "ridicule of the clergy" and depiction of drug use. Rock n' roll was banned from dance halls around this country just fifty years ago. Games are young, just emerging from similar growing pains into their maturity as a medium. We want to document this growth. We want to be the vanguard that pushes games away from its misunderstood past and towards its bright future.

Recently, I was asked by someone to compile a list of 10 — 10! — things that are right with the world. I have to believe — I would like to believe — that most of my colleagues will find this as daunting a task as I do I. After all, those of us who practice philosophy and write cultural commentary are accustomed to sniffing out problems: The glass is always half empty for us.
That it is a challenge to think of a few positive aspects of the world, to say nothing of 10 such things, is sobering enough. That this invitation would strike me as peculiar to boot is more self-revealing than I would care for it to be. Still, peculiar or not, hard or easy, that I have the opportunity to reorient my thinking toward life proves that there is at least one thing that is right with the world:
The world supplies us with opportunities, numerous opportunities, to grow.
In fact, given current technology and the ease with which it provides ever-growing numbers of people with access to both a bottomless sea of information as well as other human beings from around the globe, the case can be made that there are even more opportunities for intellectual, moral, professional, and spiritual growth today than ever before.
This is the first thing that is right with our world. It is, thankfully, by no means the last.
The second, I suppose, would be the technology itself that makes possible the dramatic expansion of opportunities for personal development alluded to in the first.
Third, outside of Heaven, the world will always be ridden with human suffering. While tragic, this fact is also doubtless. Equally doubtless, however, is that there is more awareness of this suffering, more sensitivity to it, than at any time in the past. Our imagistic age renders this unavoidable.

A friend of mine sent me the link to your site and I am very impressed by your work. I have also read a lot of the hate mails people have sent to you. I couldn't help but be revolted, but not surprized by the hypocrasy from self-righteous people who show their true colors when speaking of your murder, suicide, the death of your children and other hateful matters.
Ahhhh the irony. Perhaps it's a concept they don't grasp, such as your belief itself. Not only the hypocrasy, but the Anti-American attitude that anyone who is not (at least pretending) to be a follower of THEIR religion is doomed, etc. etc. Maybe many people do not understand that The United States of America was founded on the principal of freedom of many things, including worship, as documented in the Third Amendment to The Constitution. And the same people accuse YOU of being self-important.
I guess that people never change and the story hasn't changed through the ages. Still today people are killed, as they have been through history by various religions because, as George Carlin puts it, they have a different invisible man in the sky than others have. Let's hope that the true spirit of the US Constitution and the loving, accepting values of the various religions of the world someday prevail.

SunSafe Programs
Rates of malignant melanoma and other skin cancers are rising in the United States. Childhood burns may be the cause. Reducing sun burns and exposure to UV radiation among children under age 18 can prevent 90 percent of skin cancers later in life.
SunSafe offers program materials appropriate for three age groups:
- SunSafe for the Early Years is for children aged 2-9.
- SunSafe for the Middle School Years is aimed at teens.
Both programs offer teachers, principals, coaches, lifeguards, clinicians, and parents fun and educational ways to learn about UV radiation and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
- SunSafe for Adults contains posters and graphics for use in recreational, community, and business settings.
The SunSafe programs are based on research conducted by Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and Norris Cotton Cancer Center, and funded by the National Cancer Institute.

By TOM MCCOURTSun Advocate Columnist
Today is the 24th of July, Utah's Pioneer Day," I reminded Uncle Spud. "One hundred and sixty years ago today, the first European settlers came to Utah with Brigham Young."
"I know," he said. "I was there."
"Don't give me that crap," I insisted. "Nobody lives to be that old."
"Clean living, fresh mountain air, a clear conscience, and lots of onions and Tabasco sauce are the secret to living forever," he smiled.
"Oh good grief," I moaned. "And I'll bet you're going to tell me all about it."
"The Salt Lake Valley was beautiful when we first got there," he began. "The stories say that it was a desert wasteland, but that isn't true. The first group of pioneers had to stomp the grass down to set-up their tents. It is true that there were not many trees in the valley, but the whole place was covered with a thick carpet of sod."
"Why no trees?" I asked.
"They burned every fall with the grass," he said. "If lightning didn't ignite the dry grass, our native American friends did. It kept the ecosystem clean and healthy. New grass sprouted every spring and fires kept the sage and junipers from taking over the valley."
"If the Salt Lake Valley was so great, why weren't there any Indians living there?" I asked.
"Most of the Indians were living in Utah Valley," he said. "Utah Valley was a garden."
"A garden?"
"Father Escalante called Utah Valley a garden in 1776," he said. "Escalante sent a report to the Spanish governor of New Mexico, suggesting that most Spanish settlements in New Mexico be uprooted and moved to Utah Valley. He said the valley was beautiful, with rich soil, tall grass, and clean water, and the lake was teeming with trout and waterfowl. He said there was no place in New Mexico like it."
"So why didn't the Spaniards move to Provo?" I asked.
"It was too far from New Mexico," he said.
"So why didn't Brigham Young settle in Utah Valley?"
"Too many Indians," Uncle Spud smiled. "It took a few years for the Mormons to outnumber the natives and push them out."
"So where did the myth get started that the first Utah pioneers settled a harsh, desert valley?" I asked.
"They weren't stupid," he said. "If they started telling everyone that Utah valleys were good places for homesteading, other people might want to settle there too. Calling it a desert convinced most other pioneers to go on to California and Oregon."
"So why isn't there a carpet of sod in the Salt Lake Valley now?" I asked.
"The settler's cows ate it all, and the climate is much dryer now than it was in the 1840s," the Spudster said. "It used to rain in Utah in the olden days. I know it's hard to believe, but water actually fell from the sky."
"I've heard about that," I said. "So were Carbon and Emery counties garden spots, too?"
"No," he said. "Castle Valley really was, and is, a desert. One of the early pioneer surveyors said the only possible use for Castle Valley was a hunting ground for Indians and a place to hold the rest of the world together. It was one of the last places in Utah to be settled. Nobody wanted it."
"But we got the last laugh," I giggled. "The Wasatch Behind turned out to be the best place in the state. We are at the hub of everything. From Carbon County, we can change our scenery and environment, four different ways, in just 30 minutes of travel, depending on which direction we choose to go. We have the lakes, pines, and quakies of Scofield and Huntington Canyon to the west, Nine Mile Canyon to the North, the red desert of Buckhorn Wash and the San Rafael Swell to the south, and the Book Cliffs and Cedar Mountain to the East. There is no better place anywhere for a splendid variety of outdoor scenery and recreation."
"Shhh," Uncle Spud hissed. "Lets do like Brigham Young and tell people that this valley is an economic, social, and recreational wasteland. That way everyone will go to Moab and leave us alone."
"I'll drink to that," I whispered as I poured the sparkling diet Dr. Pepper.

(And the cost could be even higher)
Even if it is paid out using coins made with holes and/or embossed hearts or bills/notes currently printed with pictures of pagan relics (and ironically, bridges) on them (they used to have moths, sparrows and Hans Christian Andersen) that's a lot of real money; At current exchange rates that works out to 4.6 Billion U.S. Dollars or 3.6 Billion Euros!
Let's put these costs in some perpective:
- The Storbælt or "Great Belt" Bridge which links the east and west parts of Denmark was completed in 1998 at a cost of DKK 21.8 Billion (on a 1988 price basis), so adjusted for inflation, that would be about DKK 37.6 Billion today.
- The Øresund Bridge which links Copenhagen to Malmö and therefore Denmark to Sweden, was finished in 2000 at a cost of DKK 30.1 Billion (The crossing is shorter than the Storbælt) on year 2000 basis. So adjusted for inflation, this bridge would cost about DKK 38.6 Billion today.
- Even the Proposed Fehmarn Link from Denmark to Germany is pencilling in at 7.9 Billion Euro (DKK 59 Billion)
|1995 Storbælt Ferry Fares
(The fixed-link to Germany is more controversial because a route from Sweden through Denmark to Germany has already been created by using the two bridges plus Jutland, but it certainly has a potential market)
|2012 Storbælt Bridge Tolls
When looking at these project costs, please keep in mind that these facilities charge a toll that is comparable to the fare of the ferries they replaced or still partially compete with; which is certainly not the case for similar projects in other parts of the world.
So this "Eastern Bypass" (the new name intended to attract funding from the national government) is a project that will cost 70% of what the fixed-link bridge projects did, but offers Copenhagen no parallel capacity for rail (which actually does need more capacity through the city center), and doesn't do anything for the nation or the region, or the EU as a whole. It merely "promises" to remove congestion from the city center.
Congestion, it turns out, is an inevitable consequence when the private sector produces an unlimited number of vehicles and expects the public sector to spend limited resources to build an unlimited amount of space for them to run on. ---Gordon Price, Transport Planner and former City Councillor, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
|Current Motorway Network around Copenhagen
(We'll discuss the false promise of ring roads and by-passes, as well as tunneling projects cost in later posts)
Or is something-else afoot here? Is Copenhagen about to "pee in its pants to keep warm"?
|Interchange proposal for Long Bridge
He goes on, in the original Berlingske News Bureau article on which the Copenhagen Post article is based, to say "Så derfor skal vi også sørge for, at trafikken kan afvikles ordentligt, så vi ikke spilder tid, når folk sidder i kø," or, and kind reader you are free to contribute a better translation in the comments section, "We therefore must ensure that traffic can flow properly so we don't waste the time (of people who chose to travel by private car) when they sit in queues".
In other words, the top official of the city that had promised to be the first carbon-free city on Earth in the 21st century has just also promised that his city will, because of course it must, don't you know, accomodate and move more cars.

Evonik Releases Environmental Impact Study on Degaroute Reaction Resin
Published December 21, 2012
Various systems can be used to apply these kinds of structured, three-dimensional markings to roads. One of these is cold-plastic marking based on Degaroute reaction resin from Evonik Industries. Degaroute has proven itself in this application for more than 50 years, the quality of the product having long produced impressive results. Lately, however, it is not just safety but the environmental aspect that is playing a more important role. Increasing traffic volumes call for more and more markings—but not at the expense of the environment.
For this reason, Evonik compared its Degaroute-based road markings with three other common road marking systems: hot-spray plastic, solvent-based paint and water-based paint. The specialty chemicals company studied all four systems as part of a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA). An LCA is a systematic tool that analyzes the influence a product has on the environment over its entire lifespan. It takes account of the entire value-added chain, from the raw materials, through production and application, to disposal or recycling.
In this case, Evonik studied a two-lane, one-kilometer section of roadway equipped with a middle stripe and two edge stripes. The assessment period was ten years—after this time roads normally have to be resurfaced. Depending on the technology used, the markings have to be renewed at different times in this period.
According to the results of the LCA study, cold-spray plastic with Degaroute is far superior to the other technologies. It obtained the best results, thanks to its longevity in particular. The study showed that, more than anything, the service life of a marking is key to its environmental impact. And in this respect, the solvent- and water-based systems came off second-best. Over the period of the study, the solvent-based paint had to be reapplied ten times to obtain the marking, while Degaroute-based cold-spray plastic had to be reapplied four times. Hot- spray plastic did similarly well in terms of longevity, but it consumed more material.
This high durability is primarily a result of the glass beads contained in the marking material. According to the LCA study, durability is also the deciding factor for CO2 emissions and, therefore, the global warming potential of the individual systems. Hot-spray plastic has a 50 percent higher warming potential than Degaroute-based cold-spray plastic with glass beads, and paint systems are roughly 80 percent higher. In comparison, the application step accounts for a small percentage of the global warming potential—with the exception of hot-spray plastic, which has to be applied in a melted state at high temperatures, and requires the use of gas burners.
The LCA study was conducted in accordance with ISO 14040 and critically reviewed by independent experts from industry, science and research. In early 2012, the system was certified to ISO 1404

Annapolis Angler Wins Grand Prize at Maryland Fishing Challenge Finale
09/10/2012 | Posted by jdavidsburgTags: Recreational
Diamond Jim Anglers Split $25,000 Cash
Annapolis, Md. (September 8, 2012) Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Secretary John Griffin presented approximately $70,000 in cash, prizes and merchandise to lucky anglers this morning at the 2012 Maryland Fishing Challenge. Nearly 2,000 people, including sponsors, anglers and their guests attended the 8th annual contest's closing ceremony at Sandy Point State Park.
"The sport of fishing is a longstanding tradition here in Maryland, a way to build camaraderie and create memories with friends and family," said Secretary Griffin. "I want to extend a huge congratulations to this year's winners, and remind my fellow anglers that although the 2012 contest has come to an end, this marks the start of the 2013 challenge - Happy fishing!"
Since Labor Day 2011, more than 1,000 anglers qualified to participate in today's grand prize drawing, nine of whom also qualified for the Diamond Jim component of the challenge. Youth winners from fishing rodeos across the State also won exciting guided fishing trips donated by supporting fishing groups and professional guides.
"Thank you to all of our generous sponsors who have helped this contest go strong for eight years now," said Griffin. "These partnerships help keep this sport alive, introducing our State's youth to the joys of fishing, while inspiring the next generation to become responsible stewards of our natural world."
Walking away with today's grand prize of boat, motor and trailer from Bass Pro Shops and Tracker Boats, was John Veil of Annapolis who caught an Angler Award qualifying, 13.5-inch white perch.
"This was a big surprise!" said Veil. "I came here to enjoy the event and won a new boat!"
John Schultz, a novice angler from Pennsylvania won an all expenses paid fishing trip to the Bimini Game Club on Bimini Island in the Bahamas provided by the World Fishing Network.
"This is amazing!" said Schultz. "I cannot get over it!"
Bill's Outdoor Center at Deep Creek Lake returned as a premiere sponsor with thousands of dollars in tackle and fishing gear for the prize drawings. AllTackle, Angler's Sports Center, Clyde's Sport Shop, Fishbone's Bait and Tackle, Herb's Tackle Shop, Marty's Sporting Goods and Tochterman's Fishing Tackle also donated gift cards and youth tackle packages. All contestants received commemorative shirts, courtesy of Under Armour.
Nine lucky anglers caught specially tagged rockfish this summer in the Diamond Jim component of the 2012 Fishing Challenge. After all corresponding envelopes were opened and no authentic Diamond Jim was discovered the anglers split the contest's cash prize of $25,000 - taking home $2,778 each.
The youth component of the Maryland Fishing Challenge celebrated 19 lucky anglers who advanced from DNR-sponsored fishing rodeos this summer. These individuals were awarded fishing gear and trips from the event's generous sponsors.
"Catch a fish" is one of the Maryland Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights, issued by Governor Martin O'Malley under the Partnership for Children in Nature, an initiative to ensure all young people have the opportunity to connect with their natural world and grow to become informed and responsible stewards.
Three batches of specially tagged striped bass three genuine Diamond Jims and 375 imposters were released into the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries this summer. Diamond Jim's value increased each month: from $10,000 in June to $20,000 in July and $25,000 in August. The seven Diamond Jim imposters were worth at least $500 each for the duration of the contest.
Through the Angler Award component, 80 species of fish, including large and smallmouth bass, trout, walleye, musky and panfish in the freshwaters of Maryland; rockfish (striped bass), bluefish, drum, sea trout and perch in the Chesapeake Bay; and tuna, marlin, flounder, kingfish and sea bass caught in Maryland waters off the Atlantic Coast, were eligible for the grand prizes.
This year's challenge honors the life and times of world renowned fly-fishing legend Lefty Kreh. Over his remarkable 75-year career the Maryland native has shared his enthusiasm and skill for fishing through his columns, books and presentations. He is also known for his commitment to Maryland's natural resources, promoting conservation and clean water, and giving back to the outdoors. Kreh was honored by Governor Martin O'Malley at the dedication of the Lefty Kreh Fishing Trail in the Hereford Area of Gunpowder Falls State Park on June 11.
More information on the Maryland Fishing Challenge including a list of winners is available at dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/challenge/index.asp.

Chesapeake Energy Corp. co-founder Aubrey K. McClendon is stepping down as CEO on April 1, the company announced Tuesday.
McClendon, 53, has agreed to retire, but the company said he will remain with the company until his successor is appointed.
Chesapeake Energy Corp. co-founder Aubrey K. McClendon is stepping down as CEO on April 1, the company announced Tuesday.
McClendon, 53, has agreed to retire, but the company said he will remain with the company until his successor is appointed.
McClendon relinquished his position as Chesapeake's chairman in May amid media reports questioning his mingling of personal and company business. He was replaced by former Conoco executive Archie W. Dunham as the company replaced half its board at the behest of its two largest shareholders.
An ongoing review by Chesapeake's board has not revealed any improper conduct by McClendon, the company said Tuesday. The review is expected to be completed by Feb. 21.
Chesapeake said the decision to find a new CEO for the company is not related to the board's pending review of McClendon's finances.
His departure is being treated as a termination without cause, according to a person familiar with the matter.
McClendon stands to receive more than $50 million in severance pay, accelerated equity compensation and other benefits, according to the company's 2012 proxy statement. The source said that figure will be lower because of recent moves to curtail his salary.
McClendon admitted "philosophical differences" with Chesapeake's reconstituted board in Tuesday's announcement, but he said he is looking forward to working with the company and the board to ensure a smooth transition to new leadership.
McClendon, who also will exit from Chesapeake's board, will be barred from competing with the company for at least six months.
Chesapeake's stock surged about 10 percent to $20.69 in aftermarket trading Tuesday with news of McClendon's retirement. It had closed at $18.97.
Argus Research analyst Phil Weiss said moving on without McClendon is the right move for Chesapeake and its shareholders.
"I don't necessarily mean that as an indictment against McClendon, but more the fact that companies have life cycles," Weiss said. "The same person that leads it through one stage of its life cycle is not necessarily the one that should lead it through the next. The company's knowledge is going from asset gathering to asset harvesting."
Dunham assured Chesapeake employees Tuesday that the company was not for sale, nor does it plan to eliminate perks like the company's on campus child care, fitness center or restaurants.
Dunham also lauded McClendon for his contributions while at the helm of Chesapeake.
"Over the past 24 years, Aubrey McClendon has created one of the most valuable and innovative companies in the energy industry," Dunham said. "Under Aubrey's strong leadership, Chesapeake has built an unmatched portfolio of natural gas and oil assets in creating one of the world's leading energy companies.

CUYAHOGA COUNTY -- The last of the property tax bills were mailed out in Cuyahoga County Friday.
The mailings are a couple of weeks later than usual, according to interim treasurer Mark Parks.
The deadline to pay is Jan. 24, 2013, but about 10 percent of taxpayers like to pay by the end of 2012.
The delay means people who wish to pay their property taxes by Dec. 31 (so they can write off the payments on their 2012 federal income tax returns) will have just asmall window to pay by the end of the year.
Parks says 100,000 bills were mailed Monday, December 24.
73,000 were mailed Dec. 27, and the remainder on Friday Dec. 28.
The interim treasurer cites a delay at the state level as the cause for Cuyahoga County's late mailings.
There are several ways to pay, including online and by phone.
The Cuyahoga County Administration Building and the cashier's desk will be open on New Year's Eve Mondayfrom 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for those who wish to pay in person.

Northwest Riders Clothing
Northwest Riders was officially started in February of 2004 in Bellingham, WA by Greg Young. The first batch of Northwest Riders Clothing was actually made a few months before that by famed wakeboard cinematographer Sean Kilgus. Sean made 20 t-shirts to bring to a Northwest Sessions wakeboard competition, intending to give most of them away to friends and sell the rest to make his money back. The shirts were more popular than expected and when Sean realized the potential to start an actual brand, he generously gave Greg the go-ahead to take the brand and run with it.

Who is John Shurna?
Tommy DeeI've said this often during random basketball conversations but my favorite conference to watch in conference is the Big Ten. That's not a knock against any other conference, it's like saying what supermodel you'd prefer to date.
That being said, John Shurna has flown completely under my radar over the past for years. I knew that he compiled some serious numbers his first three years and was a sneaky good athlete, but I never made it a point to sit and watch a Northwestern game to take notes.
Shame on me. From all accounts, he's having a strong camp with the Knicks and he seems to be getting very close to becoming an NBA player.
Knicks fans should remember this, it's easy to say that they are old and don't have any draft picks, but the fact of the matter is that doesn't mean they will dry up from a talent perspective. They plan on using Erie as a breeding ground to develop young talent and borderline second round players like Shurna can find a home and mature to help the big club.
It will be interesting to see where Shurna ends up after camp, but the kid has talent and a really strong resume. And for now, he's property of the Knicks if they choose to send him to Erie or keep him on the big roster.

I'm not sure how it happened, but about 13 years have passed since the first time I made these roasted pumpkin seeds with my mother. I remember it was my idea then, having seen it in some children's magazine or other. She patiently cleaned off the seeds from our Jack-o-Lanterns and let me oil and salt them before placing in the oven. I think we left them in a bit too long that first time and the seeds came out a slightly burnt. I'm sure we ate them, but they were unremarkable enough that we never tried them again.
This year, however, I couldn't stop thinking about them and decided to give them another shot. I used low heat this time, leaving them in for a full hour, and they came out perfectly. I'm glad I did. They roasted up nicely and we've been snacking on them all weekend. When I brought a small dish of them to my boyfriend to munch on while playing XBox, he commented that I'm "like the indians" because I use up all parts of food. I admit that I do love the feeling of being able to use up the various parts of things and the more I learn, the more incapable I've become of throwing food out. My freezer is currently filled with things like onion stems and apple peels that I plan to use in future dishes.
I think these toasted seeds taste a lot like movie theater popcorn, although I suspect E disagrees because each time I mention it he responds with little more than an unintelligible murmur. Perhaps you agree? Let me know!

You could jazz these up with spices or sugar or any number of herbs, but I like the plain kind. Just olive oil and salt. Oh and yes, you can eat pumpkin seeds whole--shell and all!
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds RecipePumpkin seeds fresh from the pumpkinOlive OilSaltDirections
Plunge the pumpkin seeds into a bowl of cold water and use your hands to pull off the strings and bits of pulp left on them. A few good swishes in the bowl is usually enough. Let sit for a minute or two and all the pulp will sink to the bottom, allowing you to scoop out the seeds with a col lander.Note: This is much easier if the pumpkin seeds are fresh out of the pumpkin. If you let them sit around and dry a bit it gets harder.Spread the seeds out in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet and used your hands to mix and coat them well. I use a pastry brush to swirl them around.Sprinkle with salt (and optional spices) and place in a 250 degree oven for about 45-60 minutes. Note that near the end you may hear a bit of popping, similar to when making popcorn.Let cool and store in an air-tight container.

CUMBERLAND ŌĆö The way Cumberland is playing at this very moment is what skipper Paul Murphy envisioned prior to the seasonŌĆÖs first pitch.
Take away the moon shot of a home run that LincolnŌĆÖs Nick Zammarelli led MondayŌĆÖs game off with and Cumberland strung together a performance worthy of its play of late. The ClippersŌĆÖ 11-1 ŌĆ£mercy ruleŌĆØ victory at the LionsŌĆÖ expense was the third straight Division I-North victory for Murphy & Co. and the fourth overall.
The dominant showing enabled Cumberland to reach .500 in league play for the first time this season. ThatŌĆÖs no small feat considering weŌĆÖre talking about the same Clipper outfit that started out losing their first three Division I encounters. After explaining the significance of hitting the reset button to his players, Murphy talked about why things have been looking up as of late.
ŌĆ£The first three games were very difficult ŌĆō home to Cranston West, at La Salle and at Hendricken,ŌĆØ noted Murphy, his squad now 4-4 against Division I foes. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve been hitting the ball well and the pitchingŌĆÖs been okay, but we werenŌĆÖt getting the defense. Now weŌĆÖre starting to pick it up in that area.ŌĆØ
Cumberland starter Rob Reedy battled his way through 5 2/3 innings, such length proving vital on the first day of a three-game week. He allowed just two hits after surrendering a first-pitch leadoff home run to Zammarelli, both soft singles that didnŌĆÖt come back to haunt the right-hander.
Lincoln looked to have Reedy on the ropes after ZammarelliŌĆÖs whale of a blast, though nothing ever resulted despite Cumberland committing two errors and the pitcher hitting a batter. With the bases loaded and two down in the first, Reedy got Sam Brito to tap into a force out at third base.
ŌĆ£At that point, you have to be physically and mentally tough enough to say, ŌĆśOkay, itŌĆÖs only one run,ŌĆÖŌĆØ said Murphy about ReedyŌĆÖs ability to regroup following ZammarelliŌĆÖs round tripper. ŌĆ£It could have been a big inning for them, but he didnŌĆÖt allow that to happen.ŌĆØ
See CLIPPERS, page C3
A contact pitcher whoŌĆÖs not afraid to pitch inside or outside, Reedy finished with just one strikeout. He started to tire in the sixth inning, though teammate John Sikie was able to pick him up by ending the frame with a fielderŌĆÖs choice groundout that extinguished a bases-loaded threat for Lincoln (4-4, Division I-North).
The Clippers swung potent bats all game long. A four-run second inning was highlighted by a run-scoring double by No. 8 hitter Josh Brodeur and a two-run double by fellow sophomore Tyler Calabro.
Joe Fine got into the swing of things with a two-run home run that extended CumberlandŌĆÖs lead to 7-1 in the fifth inning. An inning later, the Clipper junior delivered a two-run double that enabled the home team to lower the curtain on the contest. The sixth also saw Dylan Boisclair double over the centerfielderŌĆÖs head that resulted in two more runs.
FineŌĆÖs afternoon consisted of three extra-base hits and three RBI while Boisclair collected two doubles and two RBI.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve been hitting the ball pretty well the last couple of games,ŌĆØ said Murphy. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve got some guys out with injuries, but theyŌĆÖll be coming back shortly.ŌĆØ
Cumberland will hit the road for the rest of the week with games at Cranston East (Wednesday) and Cranston West (Friday). Lincoln will welcome Cranston West on Wednesday before heading to Bishop Hendricken on Friday.
