text:
Five linked families live out their destinies as the world is shaken by tyranny and war in the mid-20th century. Berlin in 1933 is in upheaval. Eleven-year-old Carla von Ulrich struggles to understand the tensions disrupting her family as Hitler strengthens his grip on Germany. Into this turmoil step her mother's formidable friend and former British MP, Ethel Leckwith, and her student son, Lloyd, who soon learns for himself the brutal reality of Nazism.
He also encounters a group of Germans resolved to oppose Hitler - but are they willing to go so far as to betray their country? Such people are closely watched by Volodya, a Russian with a bright future in Red Army Intelligence. The international clash of military power and personal beliefs that ensues will sweep over them all as it ranges from Cable Street in London's East End to Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, from Spain to Stalingrad, from Dresden to Hiroshima.
At Cambridge Lloyd is irresistibly drawn to dazzling American socialite Daisy Peshkov, who represents everything his left-wing family despise. But Daisy is more interested in aristocratic Boy Fitzherbert - amateur pilot, party lover, and leading light of the British Union of Fascists. Back in Berlin, Carla worships golden boy Werner from afar. But nothing will work out the way they expect as their lives and the hopes of the world are smashed by the greatest and cruellest war in the history of the human race.
Winter of the World is the second novel in Ken Follett's uniquely ambitious and deeply satisfying trilogy The Century. On its own or read in sequence with Fall of Giants, this is a magnificent, spellbinding epic of global conflict and personal drama.

I love listening to books when cycling, paddleboarding, etc but I press pause when I need to concentrate. Its safer & I don't lose the plot!
"Another rip-snorter from Ken Follett"
I read Ken Follett's two mediaeval England books and they were riveting. Tremendous stories that kept me transfixed throughout. Next I read his World War I book and I have just finished listening to 'Winter of the World', the second book of this 20th century trilogy - the story of World War II.
Like the above-mentioned three books, this was a good entertaining story and very enjoyable. The only trouble is that Follett has to manufacture the plot so that every major character from his two basic families (Russian and Welsh) appears at key moments in the war and intervenes to change the whole course of the conflict: inventing the atom bomb, stopping Hitler from systematically killing disabled people, forming the united nations, passing the Nazi invasion plans to the Russians etc, etc.
Unfortunately, this stretches the credulity of the listener and it is always in the back of your mind that two families couldn't have had such an impact. This wasn't a problem with the mediaeval novels, because they were based in a small country with a small population , so it wasn't as far-fetched that the key characters could have such an influence on major historical events.
As for the narrator, he was generally pretty good, but he struggled a bit with some of the accents. At one point I wasn't sure if his Welshman was a Geordie or an Indian!
These were the only blemishes on what was otherwise a great listen.
"History with a good story"
I have always enjoyed Ken Follett and he didn't let me down with this book. He once more had me confused for a while with keeping up with the different characters as he zig zagged round the world, but then all of a sudden everything fell into place... great historical story teller...

"Not as good as Herman Wouk's WW2 novels"
The first novel in the series, "Fall of Giants" was a bit better, in my opinion, and compared to Herman Wouk's epic novel "The Winds of War", Ken Follett's book could have gone a lot deeper.Having just listened to Herman Wouk's World War II novels (very similar approach with fictional characters and real contemporaries mixed), Ken Follett's book just falls short.
Nevertheless, it's a very good effort to bring the horrors of war closer to today's audience.
See above - "The Winds of War" by Herman Wouk.
Solid, reliable performance.
"Listen and learn"
I really looked forward to this book. I'm not disappointed.
I must say that the most annoying thing about this audio book is that I personally really didn't enjoy the fact that John Lee makes voices - especially because it means that large parts of it is spoken in a German accent - sort of. I much prefer the reader to just READ the book aloud. I really think making voices are not suitable for a book for adults.
But I do see that other reviewers like it so I guess it's just a matter of preference.
An excellent listen. Really hope young people read this book, we should never forget! Highly recommended. Brilliant author and brilliant narrator!
"Learn history through real peoples lives"
I rally enjoyed listening .Feel I know more about botn sites .I am looking forward to the nezt book.Hopefully Ken Follet focus even more on the political situation and the changes in the society . Too many lovestories may distroy the historical importance of the series.
"Great Read Ken Follett Wins again"
Another great book in Ken Follett's series - I love most of his books and John Lee is a fabulous narrator
werdna park
"An excellent follow up to Bk 1"
I found it quite confronting but having a rough idea what was coming next , found I could not stop listening. it was compelling and the interweaving of characters was clever rather than annoying
Fall of GIants
John Lees narration was excellent , being able to maintain character was amazing , I may search him as a narrator an excellent fit for Ken Follets Books!
Lloyd Williams but just a touch naïve
worth a listen
"Great book, it is a shame the audio skips."
Yes, follet is a great writer, it is a pity the recording is not well produced.
All the book is great
no, he is great
It does, in fact I believe it is a trilogy, we are missing one last book, it should be published late this year.
"History though story"
Great follow on and looking forward to book 3. Well told story and if you have watched Downton Abbey then it gives some idea of the other lives
Maud - Complex and difficult choices she made
I find listening I get more out than reading and remember far more. Reading I do to relax whilst listening is more entertainment. This was more of a mini series of the mind.
"Winter of the World"
I'm a Ken Follett historical history fan from way back. There has never been anything other than a well-researched, brilliant novel. John Lee narrates the books like they were written for him. But Winter of the World has proved even Ken Follett can outdo himself! This should be required reading for history classes in England and the U.S. I have never been a real fan of the history of WWII but this was the easiest and most captivating history lesson I have ever had. Couldnt stop listening. You just cannot go wrong with this book it's a real winner.
"A heart-breaking but wonderful sequel"
This is part 2 of the Century Trilogy and I strongly recommend listening to part 1 first (Fall of Giants) as it introduces the characters and their offspring who straddle the series and whose lives illuminate the horrors and heroics of war more effectively than a merely historical account. As in part 1 of the trilogy this sequel blends fictional characters and real people together to achieve a narrative that left me feeling deeply involved in the lives of the imagined players before, during and after the Second World War. Both books powerfully evoke what life was like during these turbulent times in world history and help the listener to understand how and why these destructive wars came about. I found this second book more depressing than the first as the senseless inhumanity and cruelty was so extreme. Nevertheless I loved this magisterial book and felt sorry that it ended and eagerly look forward to part 3, Edge of Eternity, which, unfortunately is not yet available as an audiobook on this website, though it has been recorded.
John Lee is a superb narrator who brings all the characters to life.
Right, I have just finished listening to this epic story and I have to say I have not had an audio book like it. Having listened to the previous book in the series (Fall Of Giants) I thought that it would be impossible to top, well this one is even better. Great character development, well narrated and gripping. The story lines are interesting and in some parts deeply shocking with some, not graphic but disturbing descriptions of human behaviour. I noticed that this was a good book when I woke up in the middle of the night and started listening to the audio book hoping to drift off to sleep, then 4 hours later still awake I had to get up and go to work! The sooner the next book in the series is released the better. I would recommend this book to everyone!
"Enthralling Follet"
The audible version is precisely that, it enabled me as a long distance Truck driver to listen to this book whilst driving . The printed version might have taken a whole lot longer to read and digest
Follett's characters are all so real , I had no favourites they were all so well described and written
The narration was superb , the characters brought to life through the change in his Voice
There was no particular moment , all historical facts and events were so well intertwined .The Death of the Jewish Doctor was particularly upsetting and made you realise how frustrating it must have been to be an educated Jew under the Nazi Regime.
Follet, as never disappointed to date. With his trilogy of the world he as written Classics that will last forever
"Another cracker from Ken!"
I love Ken's writing style, it's so easy to read and thus translates very well to audio. Well done John Lee. Beautifully read bringing another dimension to the characters and realism. This middle chapter of the trilogy was slightly too long - but what to leave out??? Super story cannot wait for number 3.
"Setting a standard"
There are many stars in this audiobook. Obviously, the author is one - Ken Follett's majestic sweep both stirring and emotional. The next star is John Lee, who captures a wide variety of accents, from different countries and regions, as well as carrying off both male and female voices. He sets a standard for other narrators. Finally, the various characters shine like stars. Although it is obvious where Follett's sympathies lie, all the fictional characters are brought to life, while the 'real life' characters are realistic and invest the novel with further authenticity. You'll be sorry when you have finished, but then, in two years' time, we'll have the final installment. It is unlikely to reach the heights of this novel, though, given the history that 'Winter of the World' covers.
"The horror of war"
Follet's story unfolds in a manner that really clamps ice around your heart, and vicariously one gets a feel for the horror that both civilians and soldiers experienced, and for the utterly bizarre social circumstances that war creates
Such well developed characters. I even felt for the Germans in this battle, you find yourself wanting them all to come out of it well.
"Great author, Brilliant narrator"
I have enjoyed every one of Ken Follet's historical novels and this is certainly one of his best. But, what really makes the audiobook special is the narrator, John Lee. I am in awe of his narration skills and have begun to search for his books, regardless of the author. Thank you John for bringing great books to life.
So. How to begin? I would love to say this was a great book, I enjoyed the first one. But I felt this book was more of an historical book rather than a literary novel. Ken Follet really knows his stuff however so I cannot fault him on that and I learned a few things! On a negative side there were far too many silly coincidences. Everyone crosses everyone else's path across Europe, Britain, USA and Russia, what are the chances! I even began to roll my eyes and I guessed that the British brother in the French resistance would be the one to discover his other brother in the fighter plane over France. And it becomes a little condescending when ken reminds us of things more than once, like he doesn't trust us to remember, I didn't like that, it wasnt helpful. And I actually listened to a whole part of a book on time and a half speed, the narration was just a little too slow for me. If u have read the first book I suppose you have to listen to this one but otherwise I wouldn't really recommend (saying that tho, I will probably read the third one when it comes out!)

People with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have heightened sensitivities to certain foods, such as wheat glutens, that may leak from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract during digestion, enter the bloodstream circulation and potentially invade the central nervous system. Additionally, a leaky GI tract may also allow gut-dwelling bacteria to cross into the bloodstream and generate an immune reaction leading to inflammation. Heightened levels of inflammation in blood circulation and the nervous system have been linked to psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
With her Brain & Behavior Research Foundation NARSAD Young Investigator Grant, Emily G. Severance, Ph.D. and team at Johns Hopkins University set out to test if a breached gastrointestinal barrier contributes to symptoms of psychiatric disorders. In a study published June 6, 2013 in Schizophrenia Research, the researchers measured blood markers of an endotoxin associated with bacteria found in the GI tract in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and correlated these to the levels of inflammation and immune system activation. The results can help elucidate mechanisms by which immune activation can contribute to the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
At this point you might wonder what causes our GI tract to become leaky in the first place. A parasitic organism called Toxoplasma gondii can infect people when they consume raw meat or water, fruits and vegetables contaminated by feces of infected animals. Dr. Severance and her colleagues have a theory that once inside the host's GI tract, this parasite may result in elevated antibodies against a protein called gluten, commonly found in foods containing wheat, barley and rye, which in turn can make our GI track permeable to bacteria, thus allowing them to leak into circulation. Whereas the origin of inflammation in psychiatric disorders is not well understood, a compromised GI barrier in schizophrenia could be that source of inflammation.
In this study, researchers observed that markers associated with gut-dwelling bacteria were elevated in the blood of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder compared to healthy individuals. What's more, the complex patterns of the markers surveyed suggest an activated and imbalanced immune state in these patients. The study also uncovered an interesting association of gluten antibodies in individuals who had not received any antipsychotic treatment, thus supporting the view that inflammation linked to schizophrenia is not necessarily a side-effect of the pharmacological treatment. This new study has important implications for the treatment of psychiatric disorders and supports a more focused examination of strategies that target inflammation and/or the microbiome in the gut.

I have two boys one with Schizophrenia and one that has had two seizures. When I was trying to get pregnant (3 miscarriages) one of the tests I was given back in the 80's was Cytomegalovirus (CMV). That I test positive for. Is there a connection.

I think it's interesting that 80 years ago, famous "sleeping psychic" Edgar Cayce often mentioned illnesses that were connected to "leaky gut syndrome" and it's fascinating that 90 years later, the scientific community is starting to research this issue. Would love to see if other suggestions from ancient world spiritual practices and religions -- such as a "faulty" pineal gland as being somehow involved in hallucinations of mental illness -- would be researched as well.

In 1967, after a year of horrible untreatable skin erruptions covering specific regions of my baby son's body, and five doctors later, a stumped dermatologist sent a specimen from my then two year old son to the Mayo Clinic. The Mayo results: Dermatitis Herpitiformis and allergy to gluten. He was placed on a strict wheat free diet for two years and gamaglobulin shots. About two years later it magically disappeared all at once. I will never forget what the dermatologist said to me - a young 21 year old mother. Dr. Ragsdale said that this disease can be turn into diabetes, heart disease and "insanity." His term, not mine. I dismissed this forboding statement. Not only is my 47 year old son suffering from severe schizophrenia, his body is shaped oddly, a shape that according to some research indicates severe gluten allergic reaction. For 20 years I have tried to find anyone who could/would discuss this with me. I have been dismissed by the best professionals, yet in my heart of hearts I feel so strongly that there is a correlation, yet no one would ever listen.

My dear,
Only Homeopathy and Hering's Law of Cure will cure your son.
Conventional medical doctors are not taught Hering's Law of cure. They only know how to suppress syptoms of the skin diseases which turns the disease into the body to attact the vital organs like the brain.
If he was much younger it may have been quite possible but at this advanced age of 47 years, I'm not sure if Homeopathy can help.
Getting him to take a probiotic supplement will help.
Immediately email Dr. Rajesh Shah's Life Force Center to ask them if they can help with Homeopathy treatment.

I'm quite interested in relation between schizophrenia and bacteria, I made a hypothesis made by gathering lot of medical publication.
if your are instered, it tells that there is lot of elements supporting the idea of a bacteria involved in schizophrenia, and that this bacteria send toxins which disturb the cells of human body including neurons.

I have a leaky gut an within half an hour of ingesting certain foods I become somewhat schizophrenic. By avoiding these foods especially gluten, sugar, caffeine, sulphites, I am fine.

This past winter many portions of the shoreline of Cape Cod experienced devastating erosion from nor'easters. This loss of shoreline property leads to a desire to protect homes from damage, however there are times when the desire to protect upland property conflicts with the ecosystem services provided by natural landforms. The key to responsible erosion control is to increase the resilience of the property while not negatively affecting the coastal resource areas.
Various alternatives to hard structures that cause negative impacts should be examined. A good alternatives analysis should discuss each method in terms of feasibility, environmental effect, and impact on adjacent and downdrift properties.
This new brochure from Woods Hole Sea Grant is designed to provide information about the various methods of erosion control and compares their relative impacts. By starting at the top of the spectrum and addressing each method until a feasible alternative is reached, applicants can show full diligence that all other options that have lower potential impact have been examined.

MASSENA - Holiday commutes and plans could be threatened over the next couple of days, as St. Lawrence County, as well as much of the east coast, is awaiting a potentially heavy snow storm.
The St. Lawrence Valley has been listed as one of the spots that could be hit hardest by the storm, which is predicted to include snow, sleet and freezing rain.
Across Northern New York there will be more frozen precipitation than rain. That could change. Were still 24 to 36 hours out, National Weather Service meteorologist Conor Lahiff said Monday. This is going to be your classic noreaster.
Mr. Lahiff added that St. Lawrence County should be getting more snow than some others areas of the state.
Meteorologists are expecting the storm to start Tuesday night, last through most of the day Wednesday, and subside by Thursday morning.
(Tuesday) evening between 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. it will start out as snow and then maybe there will be some other precipitation. Then as you move through the day Wednesday, more colder air will be wrapping into the storm, changing the precipitation back to all snow, Mr. Lahiff said.
Right now, the initial stuff that will be falling Tuesday night, in the general sense will be between 3 and 6 inches. For the morning hours of Wednesday, there could be some ice mixed in in the southern parts of the county. It will more likely end by Wednesday night and into Thanksgiving morning with an additional 3 to 6 inches on that back side.
Some businesses in the area have been benefiting from the projected noreaster, seeing winter supplies in high dede
Whether the stores have seen extra customers already or not, the consensus seems to be that they are ready.
A lot of ice melt has been selling out today. That has been very popular, Smiths True Value Vice President Bill Hutchison, Massena, said.
We are all ready for (the customers.) We have plenty of ice melts and shovels. We have plenty to get through the first storm, and we get deliveries twice a week and it isnt hard to get it, Evans & White Ace Hardware Manager John White added.
Triple A Building Center Director of Marketing John Schneider said that he feels people havent had the sense of urgency yet when it comes to storm preparations. With that being said, he noted that ice melt has been a popular purchase lately.
Ice melt has been selling because we had the freeze over the weekend. That started moving really well. It hadnt really moved because of the nice fall up until now, Mr. Schneider said. Two shipments per week come here to Massena, so we should be all stocked up and ready for anything.
Despite the nasty weather predictions, some people in the area are not worried with the potential threats, due to past experiences.
Weve lived in winter-type conditions most of our lives, so were pretty much used to it. Were ready for anything that comes our way, Erik Lawson said.
Ive already got all my supplies, Cornwall resident Chad MacDonell added. When the storm hits, I may try to drive a little less, but for the most part I dont change too much. Just be careful and drive slow.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the region from 5 p.m. today to 7 a.m. Thursday, signifying that significant amounts of snow, sleet and ice are expected. Strong winds are also possible.

Sustainable Industry Low Carbon scheme (SILC) I - Short-term innovation measures - Action 67/G/ENT/CIP/13/D/N03S02 Veröffentlicht am: 13/03/2013, Letzte Aktualisierung: 12/03/2013
- Frist:
- 13/06/2013.
- Kennung::
The objective of the call is to provide support to actions that will focus on manufacturing and process industries covered by the ETS so as to enable these to cope with the challenges of a low carbon economy and to maintain their competitiveness, with a particular view to tackling the stringent requirements resulting from the ETS-Directive by 2020.
The SILC (Sustainable Industry Low Carbon) initiative aims to help sectors to achieve specific GHG emission intensity reductions in order to maintain their competitiveness. The SILC scheme is intended as a practical, industry-based initiative at EU level which identifies, develops and deploys both technological and non-technological innovation measures. It is foreseen that the EU will co-finance up to 75% of the costs of the industry-led projects respectively.
The SILC initiative is implemented in two steps, SILC I (2011-2013) and SILC II (2014-2020). This call concerns only SILC I which aims at finding technological and non-technological innovation measures to reduce the carbon-intensity for a wider range of sectors which can be implemented in the short term (i.e. immediate to 3-year horizon) and which do not require a further demonstration programme before their industrial implementation.
The call seeks for sector-specific or inter-sector industrial projects, each of them carried out by a consortium of industrial stakeholders (and/or possibly in partnership with public or private organizations) and jointly financed by the EU and the industrial stakeholders. It is envisaged that in these projects technological and/or non-technological innovation measures will be developed and deployed that are needed to achieve reductions in the specific GHG emission intensity, while maintaining the sector's competitive position and jobs.
All the relevant documents for participating in the call (67/G/ENT/CIP/13/D/N03S02) together with necessary instructions for proceeding with the electronic submission of proposals can be found at the following link:
Only electronic submissions are allowed for this call.
Please note that additional information could be posted on the webpage indicated above during the publication stage of this call for proposals - we encourage you to visit the page regularly.

Flowers are in bloom with this antique cluster ring of 14k yellow gold. A centered old mine cut diamond of .70 carats (I color; VS1 clarity) makes its presence known with quite the fanfare. A surround of one old European and seven (7) old mine cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of 2.2 carats (I-K color range with one at L-M; SI1 clarity) starts the bells ringing and the cymbals clashing in response to the impact that almost 3 carats of sparkling diamonds makes. Delicately designed shoulders with sensuous curves and voluptuous patterns add a drum roll to the wonder and delight of wearing this Victorian finger ring.
This ring is accompanied by an EGL USA certificate for the center diamond which was removed for accurate weight and grading. With a retail replacement value of $5430 for only the center diamond.
Want this in white gold? We can add a layer of 18k white gold at no charge to transform this into an all-white look!

Please bring back mapvote.
Please bring back mapvote.
This map pool rotation is one of the reasons why this game will never grow big. i know you wanna earn some money on ppl paying to play monthly. but either make that mandatory or just release all maps. because getting new ppl to play all these terrible maps wont increase the community and it certainly wont keep the older players around.
So pointless to login and find a match but all the maps are pure crap. atleast there is alternatives to quake now
Map rotation sux no matter which maps are included or not. For me as a paying premium member i do not see any advantage to me.
Premium servers are empty for thos maps and mods I like to play.
Please ID explain me why I should keep paying? Jsut for removing advertising in front of every server join?
So for real? Does this map rotation brought you more paying players? So why anyoing all with blocking maps for playing?
Are you saving on server capacitiys by this? Whats the reason? You do not realy care that people playing same map every time again and again. I am willing to pay - maybe just as a donation. But keep this game "free to play" with all content.
The map rotation was probably set in place to force the players to play something other than Campgrounds, Space CTF, Blood Run, Courtyard 100 times in a row all day. You can still do this in Pro servers currently if you choose to.
If everything goes 100% free to play, the game *will* die. The players would have absolutely no reason to donate other than to support id. Unfortunately, I don't really think that will help them, since they'd lose many other subscribers who are paying for the actual advantages that they get (because they actually see them).
Have a nice FALL!

Why CTF4 is bad
so what?! people like playing on campgrounds since quake 3 was released. Its the most balanced map for CA and new maps just suck. Devs should be happy they have a forever green map that still attracts old timers. Last month i saw triple amount of active players thanks to Campgrounds. ID is blind and ignorant nowadays... I also had premium before this standard map pool crap but wont buy again still its not changed back. Most of my friends dont even play this game since you force people play on maps you choose. Thats a very sad End to CA scene. I know this post will be ignored as well but at least i feel better now.

Seeing as it *was* overplayed (in the Standard servers), it gave a much less lower incentive to purchase a subscription. People consciously would think to themselves "I don't need to purchase a subscription, simply because I have these free servers that give me 100% of what I want." The devs *had* to do something about that. Therefore they made a decision, that in my opinion, should have happened as soon as the game went out of beta. It's not that it's a 'bad' choice; it's that they didn't do it at the optimal time.
Other players don't seem to realize that there are other maps in the game, and that just playing a single one over and over and over doesn't make them good at the game; it only makes them able to play that specific map because it's almost autotuned into their brain.
Also, there isn't really a "CA scene". It's more of "This gametype is the easiest to be new and play, so therefore I will play it." You don't really need any skill to play CA. As long as you contribute damage to the enemies you're doing fine. Hypothetically you can stand still and be as helpful as somebody else who actually has played the game for an extended period, as long as they're the focus and you're not.

Campground for Duel and TDM,
Hidden for TDM and
SpaceCTF for .. yea CTF AND I HAD MY FUN with it.
When I come home I just wonna relax on a round of each, thats all. Nothin else what I wonna do. I do not need to learn new maps. I just wonna do the stuff I like. And now ... I creep around the server browser and choose the best out of three.
ID has advertising on the ql home page, ingame ads and paying premium and pro members. A larger community would bring maybe more advertising. I do not mind as long it is not too aggressive. But this map restriction is just anoying what ever anyone is saying.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Today, I have some problems with my Redhat Linux AS 2.1 server. When I boot the server, it can not be logged into XWindows (Ctrl + Alt + F7), but it is still logged by other way (Ctrl + Alt + F1,2,3).
I have tried many times to reboot my server, but the results were the same. Please help me to solve this problem.
Do you want the server to always start with the X windows GUI console?
If so, check this link.
You need to set your runlevel in /etc/inittab to 5 so that the GUI comes up after the next reboot. You can then use the "init 5" command to make the server always have a GUI login between now and the next reboot.
Hope this helps.

CANTON The race for St. Lawrence County district attorney has been a battle about who will be more efficient in the office.
Democratic incumbent Nicole M. Duve is seeking her third term and has campaigned on her two decades of experience in criminal law, her administrations bringing in over $1 million in grant and forfeiture money and her designation as a special assistant U.S. attorney, which she said enables her to prosecute cross-border crimes and to focus on the regions drug problems.
Ms. Duve attributes her experience in numerous trials and her former job as a Potsdam town judge among her top qualifications. She said while in office the number of violent crimes reported to the police in the county has dropped 42 percent from 2008 to 2012, according to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.
But Ms. Duve has taken heavy criticism from her opponent, Republican Mary E. Rain. Ms. Rain maintains Ms. Duve has failed to prosecute effectively, that her office is plagued by disorganization and disengagement, and needs an overhaul.
Ms. Rain, who has spent three decades working as a police officer, prosecutor, and defense attorney said the county has seen too many crimes where victims are treated poorly and left by the wayside. Her platform includes a focus on timely prosecutions, technological upgrades, and improved communications with law enforcement partners.
Questions of Ms. Rains ability to handle the district attorneys office have been raised because of her resignation as public defender. At that time, she said it was the overwhelming workload that persuaded her to leave the position, adding that she felt she could do a more effective job in private practice with flexible hours.
Ms. Rain went on paid administrative leave in September 2011 while the county reviewed a position change made in March of that year that stripped her of the operational oversight of her office. She resigned in October.
During her campaign, Ms. Rain said she left the office because she had full knowledge that she was going to run for district attorney.
The only other countywide race is for St. Lawrence County Coroner, where three candidates will vie for two seats.
Republican incumbent June H. Wood, Hopkinton, is in her third term as a coroner. She is a licensed funeral home director, a member of the Parishville-Hopkinton Fire Rescue & Dive Team, a rescue squad captain in critical care, an advanced emergency medical technician with Tri-Town Rescue Squad and an instructor in advanced EMT at SUNY Canton. She assists at autopsies and is accredited as a medical/legal death scene investigator through the New York State Association of County Coroners and Medical Examiners.
Republican candidate Kevin J. Crosby, Morristown, is chief of the Morristown Fire Department, an emergency medical technician and superintendent of public works in the village of Morristown.
Democratic candidate Eric J. Warner, Lisbon, who has held his funeral director license since 2002, is also an organist for St. Johns Episcopal Church, Ogdensburg.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack (photo) claims food stamps and other forms of government welfare are camouflaged stimulus programs that stir job growth by pumping money into the economy. After questioned about the cancerous issue of unemployment and the growing number of impoverished Americans forced to live on food stamps, Vilsack responded that the reason so many Americans are on food stamps — 46 million, or one in seven people — is because the Obama administration has helped states get "the word out" about the program.
During an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Vilsack asserted that though the food stamps program dates back to 1939, large states such as Texas and California have "underperformed" in bridging eligible participants to the program. "The reason why these numbers have gone up is that we've done a pretty good job of working with states that had done a poor job in the past in getting the word out about this program," he alleged. "We're now working with them to make sure that people who are eligible get the benefits."
Vilsack then touted the "economic benefits" of food stamps:

"nfz works great"
This stuff is great! My dog was hit by a car and had several bad cuts on his legs , the vet gave me nfz to use on him and all his cuts healed up really fast. There was never any sign of infection starting in his wounds. I also used it in his eye when he had an eye infection , it cleared up by the second day.
"This stuff WORKS"
I have been dealing with a conjunctivitis infection in one of my cats since March and my vet (whom I love) recommended drops 2 to 4 times a day. I did that since March to no avail - he still had pink eye. On a whim I purchased this NFZ puffer and used it once a day for 4 days. GONE - the infection is completely gone. I ordered 3 bottles of this stuff cause it's a powder and has a long shelf life. I really didn't need to. You only use a tiny puff or 2 in each eye once a day. I'm so happy to see my boy able to open his beautiful green eye's and is not rubbing them all the time crying. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT.
"miracle cure"
My dog Buddy's eye infection was severe as I had passed it off as either flea-related or scent-marking (when he rubbed his face on couch). Only when his eye filled with pus did I know it was something else. The eye looked like it had collapsed and he would not allow me to open it. I was barely able to get any NFZ Puffer in his eye, but the little I did had him as good as new in five days.
"the best"
This product is the best for every wound I llove it
"great for hot spot"
This worked perfect on a hot spot gone in 2 days . Completley dried up
"Really works!"
Amazing medicine, strange delivery, though. We tried everything on our kittens' eyes, but still had goopy, cloudy, irritated eyes from 4 to 8 weeks old. Finally a breeder friend gave us this NFZ puffer, and in 4 to 5 days it was totally cleared up!! Stayed gone, too. I'm impressed, thank you!
we used puffer for 3 days 2 times day dog had cloudy eye and looked like cateracs and a dished type wound on eye ball this helped out great waiting to see if it will be 100 % sight back dont know how dog got wound no blood was on eye area or eye ball at all just runny cloudy eye bought puffer at local feed store thanks for great products
"get-em back to going"
I've used this product for years on cattle, but I find it just as effective treating eye irritrations in my Bear Hounds. After they have chased Bear several days their eyes take a beating from the brush. A couple days of treatment with NFZ puffer and their ready to go again.
"Great product"
This is the best product for eye infections. We have used the NFZ puffer on our sheep, goats, and dog over the years. With in two days of treatment their irritated or infected eye is all cleared up. This product is also good for minor skin cuts.
"Wonderful, quickly effective, great for goats too!"
This NFZ Nitrofurazone powder was recommended to me by a friend for our goats eye which had gotten just a little goopy. We administered one puff of this on her eye in the morning and one at night ... her eye was perfect the next day! Works very quickly. I was very pleased with this product!

SYRACUSE Dylan Donahue scored three goals as top-seeded Syracuse overcame a big early deficit and beat Bryant, 12-7, Sunday night in the first round of the NCAA Division I mens lacrosse tournament at the Carrier Dome.
Kevin Rice finished with two goals and two assists, and Luke Cometti added a pair for the Orange (14-3). Dominic LaMolinara stopped eight shots and 2013 Tewaaraton Award nominee Brian Megill led the Syracuse with four groundballs.
Colin Dunster and Peter McMahon each notched three goals for Bryant (8-11). Gunner Waldt turned aside 11 shots.
Syracuse will take on Yale, which upset No. 8 Penn State 10-7, in the quarterfinals at 3 p.m. Saturday in College Park, Md. The winner of that game will face the winner of No. 4 Denver versus No. 5 North Carolina on May 25 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Undaunted in its first tournament appearance and facing a perennial power seeking its 12th national title, Bryant, who made the tournament by winning the Northeast Conference tournament, stunned Syracuse early. Dunster scored twice in the first 39 seconds and McMahon and Shane Morrell followed with goals for a 4-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Syracuse regrouped and Matt Walters capped a three-goal surge with four seconds left in the period. Goals by JoJo Marasco and Donahue in the second knotted the score at five at halftime.
Cometti and Rice scored early in the third to give Syracuse the lead, and the Orange pulled away with goals by Cometti, Rice and Donahue in the final quarter.
The Orange committed only seven turnovers in the game and took advantage of scoring opportunities despite winning only one faceoff the entire game.
Kevin Massa won 22 of 23 faceoffs and scooped up eight ground balls to help keep Bryant in the game. Massa set an NCAA single-season record for faceoff wins with 315 this season.

The accelerometer sample application demonstrates how you can gather values from the accelerometer in a BlackBerry® device that has an accelerometer. You can then apply the values to move an image of a ball on the screen of the BlackBerry device.
By holding the BlackBerry device parallel to the ground and tilting it in any direction, the image of the ball moves by reacting to the force of gravity and the programmatically defined coefficient of friction. This process simulates a ball rolling around a tilting table. When the ball hits the edge of the screen, the ball bounces off the edge as if it were a barrier.
In addition to demonstrating how to gather data from the BlackBerry device's accelerometer, the sample application also provides some basic gravity-simulating algorithms that you might find useful when you develop gravity-based games.
If the BlackBerry device that is running the sample application does not have an accelerometer, the sample application displays a dialog box with the message "This device does not support accelerometer." and the sample application closes.
However, if the BlackBerry® Smartphone Simulator is running the sample application, the sample application generates random accelerometer readings to simulate someone tilting the BlackBerry device.

Read Grace's earlier article: "The race has begun: First-to-file under the America Invents Act is here"
A design patent is a patent that typically protects the ornamental design of a functional object. For example, jewelry, food containers, and computer icons are all examples of functional objects that can have an ornamental design that can be protected by a design patent. International protection for designs is very expensive for U.S. filers.
Currently, foreign filing for design applications is governed by provisions of the Paris Convention. There are currently 174 members to the Paris Convention and most industrialized countries are represented. Yet, with regard to design patent applications, the Paris Convention is a treaty that is utilized to recognize foreign priority. In a typical scenario, an inventor would file a design patent application in the United States ("U.S. design application"). Within six months of the date of the filing of the U.S. design application, the inventor would need to decide if there are any other member countries where the inventor would like to file the design patent application. For example, the inventor may decide that he or she would like protection in ten other countries that are members of the Paris Convention ("Paris Convention design applications"). In such a situation, the inventor's U.S. counsel would need to contact legal counsel in each of the ten countries. Each of international legal counsel would need to prepare the formalities for the design in their respective country and pay for the filing fee. Accordingly, costs and fees for international filing can escalate quickly.
In December of 2012, the President signed into law the Patent Law Treaty Integration Act. The PLTIA implements the Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs and will become effective on December 18, 2013. The Geneva Act currently includes 60 members. The implementation of the Act makes several changes to design patent law strategy that should be considered by U.S. applicants when deciding whether to file a U.S. design application, when deciding whether to file a Paris Convention design application for foreign filing, and/or when deciding whether to file an application under the Geneva Act ("Geneva Act design application").
- The most notable change is that applicants can file a single Geneva Act design application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. If the Geneva Act design application is granted, it is enforceable in any of the member countries designated by the applicant at the time of filing (and that are also part of the Geneva Act).
- Unlike a U.S. design application, a Geneva Act design applications publish very soon after the filing date and become prior art as of the date of filing. Accordingly, Geneva Act design applications afford the applicant provisional rights for infringement (e.g., damages accrue from the date of publication).
- Unlike a U.S. design application, a Geneva Act design application can include up to one-hundred different designs as long as they are in the same art classification.
- Unlike a U.S. design application, the country designated for examination can affect aspects of the application (e.g., nature of the drawings, rules for shading and contours, and rules related to broken lines). In this manner, examination may be carried out in a country with less strenuous formal requirements and then the design may be registered in other, designated countries (including countries with more strenuous formal requirements).
Even though the implementation of the Geneva Act will create several efficiencies for international filings of design applications, each filing should be analyzed separately to determine what filing strategy (or combination of filing strategies) will be most effective for each filing. Depending on a company's particular goals, any combination of a U.S. design application, a Paris Convention design application and/or a Geneva Act design application may be utilized. Accordingly, keeping your patent attorney abreast of your business objectives will be even more important after the effective date of the PLTIA.

LOWVILLE A Plattsburgh man admitted Monday in Lewis County Court to leading police on a high-speed chase through the northern section of the county more than a year ago.
Brian G. Aikens, 52, pleaded guilty to first-degree reckless endangerment and reckless driving, also satisfying charges of third-degree unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, failing to comply, improper passing, moving from a lane unsafely and two counts of speeding, to avoid taking the case to trial later this month.
Sentencing was set for July 26.
Mr. Aikens in May 2012 was accused of leading police on a high-speed chase along Route 3 in the town of Diana in the midst of a flight from Plattsburgh that eventually ended with his arrest at a bar in West Carthage during which he drove at 90 mph in 30- and 55-mph zones.
The chase began near Interstate 87 at Plattsburgh on the afternoon of May 6, 2012, after troopers attempted to take him into custody on two violation-of-probation warrants from the Clinton County Probation Department for fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and fourth-degree grand larceny.
Police patrols maintained visual observation of his vehicle until he entered Lewis County, where pursuit was called off, but he remained under the observation of a state police helicopter crew from Ray Brook.
The suspect abandoned his car near Crowner Road in the town of Wilna, where he got out and ran.
He was caught about 1 a.m. May 7, 2012, roughly 11 hours after the chase began, at the former Longshots Bar in West Carthage.

Results from the annual community survey of Jefferson County help paint a picture of the area for outside agencies and businesses looking to invest in the county, according to local government and nonprofit officials.
The 2013 survey was compiled from the responses of 400 county residents who were asked a series of 69 questions about topics ranging from local government to the overall quality of life in the area. The list includes a core of 30 questions that have been asked every year since 2000.
By comparing these data year after year, Raymond E. Petersen, the centers director, and Joel F. LaLone, the centers research coordinator, can track the trends that have emerged over the 14-year history of the survey.
Whats great about it is that youve got this timeline feature, Jefferson County Director of Planning Donald A. Canfield said. Its very helpful.
Mr. Canfield said that his department has provided survey results to consultants hired to put together economic strategies and transportation studies.
The results were given to Camoin Associates of Saratoga Springs for the development of a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy and to Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc., New York City, for the Fort Drum Regional Transit Needs Assessment and Analysis Report released last February.
It helps people to be able to begin to form an understanding of the characteristics of the area, Mr. Canfield said.
The results are used by the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency when meeting with site selectors and developers interested in the area, according to Donald C. Alexander, JCIDA CEO.
Mr. Alexander said the survey provides the hard data that are preferable to anecdotal observations when trying to characterize the community to visiting businesses.
The data also are beneficial to nonprofit organizations.
It helps us align our priorities and decision making with real data, said Rande S. Richardson, executive director of the Northern New York Community Foundation. And were able to help the agencies we fund leverage grants from outside agencies.
The survey results help the foundation and its agencies validate their cases to outside organizations that are not familiar with the area, according to Mr. Richardson.
He said he did not know of another community with an organization that conducted the kind of grass roots, broad-based, cross sampling of the community the way the Center for Community Studies does.
Amanda R. Root, a nutrition team coordinator at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County, said her organization recently used survey data compiled by the center to help design a program that awarded mini-grants ranging from $2,650 to $620 to eight agencies to improve access to healthy food and physical activity.

How much do you need to know for computer science? When you get out of a PhD program in computer science at most schools how much math do you come out knowing? I'm guessing beyong the high school precalc stuff, you have to know what's called discrete math that there's usually one course for at most schools and it covers all the concepts required for compiuter science (combinatorics, probability & statistics, number theory, proofs, formal languages, etc.)
And I'm guessing you need to know linear algebra, and calculus (both single and multivariable). I don't think you need to know differential equations, abstract algebra, higher analysis, non-euclidean geometry, and stuff like that - typically, a math major learns those.

Black Friday might be the day for store deals, but with Internet sales slowing taking a greater percentage of brick and mortar store sales, a new phenomenon called cyber Monday is becoming increasingly important. Over the last few year starting in 2004, sales over the Internet on Cyber Monday have typically come close to doubling from year to year, according to the National Retail Foundation, but what are online retailers offering this year as far as deals go?
Both Walmart.com and Amazon.com are offering week long deals but, because some will likely only be available on Monday, it will pay to keep an eye on the sites for what comes up.
Cyber Monday, a term coined by Shop.org in 2005, began after retailers noticed a trend of people shopping online on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Today, Cyber Monday is viewed as the online equivalent to Black Friday: the ceremonial kickoff to the online holiday shopping season when shoppers flood websites expecting robust promotions and many retailers highlight some of their most compelling online holiday offers, according to a Shop.org article.

Liquid cleansing and fasting have been an integral part of natural medicine for more than 100 years. Thousands of people have discovered restored health through fasting. Dr. Herbert Shelton was one of the founders of the American Natural Hygiene Society, and during his lifetime he supervised more than 40,000 fasts. His greatest tool for assisting patients in reversing disease was to assist them to safely go without food while drinking only water or juice for three to five days, or as long as 30 days.
Simple juice fasts are a great way to quickly purify the body and prepare it for healing. The three-day juice fast will clean mucus out the body and provide you with nutritious, vibrant foods and supplements that rebuild the system and facilitate healing.
Freshly extracted, raw, organic juices are ideal because they contain high amounts of valuable enzymes that not only help you digest the juice, but also exert a powerful healing influence on the body. If, however, you do not have access to a juicer you may use pure, organic, bottled juices that are purchased from local health food stores. Do not use frozen concentrates or juices with added sugar. Use one juice for at least three days. Choose a favorite juice (apple, carrot, citrus, tomato, barley grass, grape, etc.), but use only one for at least three consecutive days.
Do not eat anything during the three days if possible. If absolutely necessary, the matching fruit or vegetable from which you are making juice may be eaten. If you are drinking apple juice, then eat only apples if you feel the need to eat.
When you stop eating foods that contain bulk and fiber, the bowel may stop moving resulting in constipation. Toxic mucous being eliminated from your system can also cause constipation. To prevent these issues from occurring, drink 16 ounces of prune juice first thing upon arising in the morning. If you are still having problems, you may introduce colon cleansing through the use of enemas.
Dr. Christopher, noted herbalist, taught that we must eat our drink and drink our food. Chewing juice ensures proper digestion by mixing it with enzymes found in the mouth. Swish each mouthful thoroughly.
On the fourth day, introduce vegetable organic juices and raw fruits and vegetables. After the fourth day, you may also introduce steamed foods.
You will experience cleansing symptoms on your juice program. You may notice aches and pains, headaches, weakness and other symptoms as your body eliminates toxins and poisons. This is a natural reaction by your body. Be strong since these symptoms result in faster cleansing and healing.
Another powerful ingredient to aid in your detoxification is the herb milk thistle. Ancient Romans and Greeks often used milk thistle as a remedy for liver problems. Many modern medical practitioners also believe milk thistle is one of the most effective herbs for relieving liver disorders and related problems.
Your liver is like a "traffic cop" for many activities that occur in your body. For example, it eliminates or neutralizes toxins in the blood. It also plays a role in controlling infection.
Milk thistle contains a chemical substance called silymarin, which is believed to help:
- Cleanse and detoxify your liver.
- Relieve inflammation of liver cells (hepatitis).
- Treat symptoms of a scarred liver (cirrhosis) from excess alcohol consumption.
Research shows milk thistle may also help protect your kidneys from damage caused by chemotherapy medications. It can even play a role in protecting your prostate from abnormal cell growth.

Safe Bet: Seat Belts Improve Your Odds

- Safe Bet: Seat Belts Improve Your...
What Happens to Your Body in a Collision?
- The vehicle strikes another object, such as a tree or car.
- The "human impact" occurs. Unbelted occupants slam into the vehicle's interior—the steering wheel, windshield, roof—or into other occupants.
- The final impact takes place within your body as the internal organs smash against other body parts—the heart hitting the sternum, the brain hitting the skull, the lungs hitting the ribs.
- Hold you securely, taking advantage of the vehicle's own protective crushing effect as it absorbs energy in the first impact.
- Distribute the force of the human impact across the strong parts of the body. Your body hits the belt rather than the steering wheel, windshield, or other hard parts of the interior.
- Prevent occupants from colliding with each other.
- Help the driver maintain control, decreasing the possibility of an additional collision.
- Prevent occupants from being ejected.
What About Air Bags?
What Is Your Excuse?
|Reasons for Not Wearing a Seat Belt
|I am just going to the store.
|Most deadly crashes take place close to home.
|I am a good driver.
|You may not be the cause of an accident. The accident may be caused by another driver. Also, unbelted drivers have less chance to control the vehicle after the impact.
|I am not in the habit of wearing them.
|You are a role model for others. For example, children are less likely to be buckled up if adults are not.
|It is my personal preference.
|During a crash, unbelted occupants can injure other people in the car. Also, unbuckled crash victims have a ripple effect on everyone in terms of high healthcare costs, taxes, and health insurance.
|I am afraid of being trapped in a fire or under water.
|The vast majority of fatalities result from the force of impact, not from being trapped.

Girl Scouts tout Mango Creme as new, healthy cookie
Flavor boasts vitamins and nutrients with Nutrifusion
Girl Scouts of America rolled out a new flavor of healthy cookies on Tuesday called "Mango Creme," which they say features more nutrients and vitamins than their other brands.
Described as a crunchy vanilla and coconut cookie with mango-flavored creme filling, its ingredients include "nutrients from natural whole food concentrate of cranberry, pomegranate, orange, grape, strawberry and shitake mushrooms," along with Nutrifusion™ and Vitamins A, C, D and E.
According to ABC Bakers, part of Interbake Foods and baker of Mango Crèmes with NutriFusion™, said the move was initiated by consumers wanting to eat great-tasting cookies that also have health benefits. The new Mango Crèmes have 15 percent Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of Vitamin B1 and 5 percent RDI of Vitamins A, C, D, E, and B6 per serving. Crème sandwich cookies are the largest retail cookie segment in the U.S., and making them better for you will make for great sales for this important fundraiser.
"We have been at the forefront of providing enhanced nutrition to the North American food industry and are delighted that ABC Bakers has partnered with GSUSA to introduce our proprietary blend into their great-tasting new Mango Crèmes Girl Scout Cookies," said William Grand, CEO of NutriFusion, LLC in a release.
