Oral anticoagulant therapy for patients who are at risk of developing blood clotting problems is used by between 400,000-600,000 Canadians annually. The use of this drug represents the most common cause of patient adverse medical outcomes due to medical errors. Furthermore, many patients have adverse outcomes using these drugs because physicians are not able to predict which patients are likely to have bleeding outcomes. Much effort has gone into developing ways to predict which patients are at risk of clotting but almost no work has gone into ways of predicting which patients would be at high risk of bleeding. This information is required to balance off the risk-benefits and to enable physicians and patients to understand the risks and benefits of taking these medications. Our study will develop a tool that can be used to predict bleeding risk in patients taking oral anticoagulant therapy. It will enable more informed decision making by both physicians and patients and will result in better control of the use of these drugs. In addition, patients who are at risk for being difficult to accurately dose on oral anticoagulants will be identified through our study.

All towns and cities in Carbon County will conduct general elections Nov. 4 to determine council lineups for the next four years.
Last Friday was the deadline to file to run for the elected positions.
It appears Price and Sunnyside will have to schedule primary elections in October.
East Carbon City's offices were closed Monday and the available names of candidates running for the elected positions included Darma Lopez, Dave Maggio, Joseph Manley and Darrell Valdez.
In Price, four of the five council seats will be decided at the election booth.
All four incumbents in Price have thrown hats into the ring, with six challengers vying for the positions.
The eight people running for three four-year terms on Price city government include current council members Stephen L. Denison, Don Reaveley and Richard Tatton.
Challengers include Joe Christman, David A. Cox, Gary T. Kutkas, Jay Marshall and Mike Metzger. The Oct. 7 primary will knock out the two candidates receiving the least number of votes and the top six names will all appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Price voters will also select one council person to fill the remaining two years in the position vacated by Elizabeth Kourianos.
The Price council named Jeanie McEvoy to occupy the vacant slot several months ago.
McEvoy and Jeffrey H. Nielson are running for the seat, a decision that will be made in the general election in November.
Three city council seats will be determined in Helper, Wellington and Sunnyside.
In Helper and Wellington, four candidates filed election bids for the open city council positions and there will be no primary elections.
However, in Sunnyside, nine individuals are running for the three open council positions. A primary will be conducted to determine the final cast for the November ballot.
Sunnyside City Council incumbent Carol Johnson will compete against eight newcomers to the political arena at the primary election polls.
The candidates challenging Johnson's re-election bid in Sunnyside include Douglas V. Alger, Jean M. Cameron, Cheryl Ek, Sam Leonard, Shari Madrid, Dennis Rea, Kathy Rea and Tony Riffle.
In Helper, incumbents Kirk Mascaro, Jim Robinson and Chuck Buchanan filed bids for re-election to the city council along with challenger Robert Farrell.
In Wellington, council incumbents Paula Noyes and Glen Wells will run against challengers Robert D. Bertola and Paul R. Childs.

It's been a rough week for Gov. Paul LePage and Democratic leaders at the State House. On Sunday the governor was denied a chance to address the Appropriations Committee by the Democratic Senate chair. And today both sides found themselves embroiled in a flap over a TV - or, to be more precise, a 46-inch television monitor posted outside the governor's State House office. The Democrats say the monitor is not allowed under the Legislature's rules. The governor calls that censorship. And as Susan Sharon reports, he now says he's movin' out.
Never has one 46-inch television monitor (right) caused such a furor. By noon it had already been photographed dozens of times. And when the governor spoke briefly with reporters on his way out of the building, he vowed to take action.
"Democrats are trying to stifle the voices of Maine people and I won't let that happen," he said. "We're gonna move the office."
Reporter: "You're gonna move the office where?"
Gov. LePage: "I don't know yet. We gotta find - you know a good real estate guy?"
The goveror's press secretary, Adrienne Bennett, says, for the time being, her boss will be conducting business across the street at the Blaine House, where he and most governors before him reside while in office. Meanwhile, his staff will occupy their existing office space on the second floor of the State House.
Bennett says the controversy over the TV began on Tuesday when the TV went up in the lobby outside the governor's office. The monitor contains the equivalent of a billboard message: It marks the number of days since Gov. LePage proposed a balanced budget - 133 - and the number of days since the bill to pay the state's hospital debt was submitted - 130, for those of you keeping track at home.
It then asks: "What's the Hold Up?" and quotes the Maine Constitution: "Every citizen may freely speak, write and publish sentiments on any subject." What, you may wonder, is the big deal about a TV outside the governor's door?
"What we need to do is make sure that we follow the rules, and actually this is in state statute," says Democratic House Speaker Mark Eves.
Eves says it's all a matter of protocol that every governor has followed since taking office. That's because the halls and property of the State House, with the exception of the governor's private office, are considered common areas that are to be free of slogans, advertisements and political statements out of respect for all visitors.
Eves says if the governor moved the TV monitor inside his office, that would be acceptable. The same rules apply to the House Speaker, the President of the Senate and everyone else.
"As partisan as it can come sometimes, we need to make sure that we're applying the rules fairly," Eves says. "So, TV - no TV - it's absolutely ridiculous. The governor said he was going to be moving out. That is his choice. He can do that, but we need to get back to the work at hand."
David Boulter, executive director of the non-partisan Legislative Council, is in charge of the State House complex inside and out. And the Legislative Council controls how space in the building is to be used, and for which groups and events. Ironically, on Thursday, just a short distance from the governor's monitor, Time Warner Cable had set up a couch and a big screen TV in the Hall of Flags to promote its business.
"As with all activities in the Hall of Flags there is a requirement that they make a request, a reservation for that, and it's considered in terms of what's appropriate or not," Boulter says. "It's on a temporary basis, but they do need approval for that, and there are protocols for use of the Hall of Flags."
Boulter says all the governor is required to do is get permission to post the TV monitor in the hallway outside his office. But it appears that the governor is unlikely to ask. Bennett says the governor's office has only informed the Council of the monitor's presence.
And it appears that permission is unlikely to be granted. This was Senate President Justin Alfond's response when asked about the TV's future: "It won't stay. It won't stay. He is breaking the rules."
Susan Sharon: "So somebody would take it down?"
Justin Alfond: "Absolutely."
But the governor could also run into another problem with his decision to move out. State statute says the governor "shall keep his office at the State House open for the transaction of the business of the State during all normal working hours of the State House. In the absence of the governor, his private secretary shall be in attendance and the private secretary shall devote his entire time to the duties of his office."
Meanwhile, the Maine Democratic Party is using the governor's announcement as a fundraiser, asking members to donate $14 to split the cost of the governor's moving vans with him and "help send him packing."

RPO naysayers take a second look
For years, there have been those who dismissed recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) as vaporware. No longer. Much to their surprise, RPO is poised to grow as the offering has matured.
There are a number of reasons for this. The recession has tightened company budgets. Increasing headcount is no longer an easy option. What RPO in this ecosystem has going for it is that it allows users to keep up with the latest methods in hiring, including social media and cloud recruiting.
And the big game changer is that it is not only more cost effective than internal recruiting, it is also more scalable— users can quickly ramp up or scale down their use of RPO depending on requirements and pay for just what they use.
The market has spoken. Industry insiders believe, RPO is not just here to stay but will grow quickly in the next few years. Here are some facts.
We at Staffing Industry Analysts have found that 30 percent of large buyers of contingent labor used RPO for all or some of their recruiting and 23 percent are considering putting in place within the next two years.
ManpowerGroup, in its annual report, said the global RPO market will increase to $4.4 billion in 2015 from approximately $2.4 billion in 2011.
Staffing providers are sniffing around RPO firms. In October last year, Automatic Data Processing Inc. announced it acquired The RightThing, a recruitment process outsourcing provider.
Randstad Holding NV cited SFN Group Inc.'s RPO as part of its rationale for purchasing the firm last year. Randstad's claims it now holds the No. 1 RPO position in North America.
It's a good time to be thinking about RPO. For more information check out the February 2012 issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine for more information.

Ah, Nokia – you are fast becoming a breath of fresh air! Sure, dumping Symbian for Windows as a mobile OS was a little harsh, but who can't see the vividly dramatic humor in that? So in this week of consumer tech euphoria, what did Nokia dish out? A little love to its prospective customers in the United States: the first Nokia cell phone, the Lumia 900 4G LTE which was designed specifically with the US in mind.
Let's be honest – this is a striking phone. Not only does it have a 4.3 inch Clearblack AMOLED display, the polycarbonate shell (available in cyan and black) is indeed both "bold and beautiful." As this device was designed with the States in mind and is sporting Nokia's new mobile OS alliance, Windows, it is no surprise that this model will be exclusive to AT&T when it is released. Unfortunately for customers tied to other network carriers, this smartphone is not to be released unlocked. Let our trend setting fashionable cases and skin accessories express your unique style. Make your mobile devices stand out. Customize your look - how cool can you be?
The inner workings and benefits of the Windows OS (People Hub, Live tiles etc) will override some customer concerns about the exclusivity with AT&T. Sporting 4G speed, a long lasting 1830 mAh battery, a typical 16GB of storage (and for flexible storage options, supplementary memory cards are an option) and a 8MP camera, this device may well be the preference for AT&T customers considering the "aggressive pricing" we are being advise to anticipate when the Lumia 900 is made available later this year. Discover an extensive selection of the latest lithium technology replacement cell phone and wireless devices batteries. Ensure your device is powered by brand name batteries for longer operating life.
I will say that the mobile app to connect to AT&T's U-Verse as a remote is pretty darn neat. As is the Nokia Drive app to give customers free GPS capabilities. For gamers, rock a great set of headphones or ear pieces and soak in some bragging rights. Nokia's partnership with EA will bring over 20 of the most popular games to the Windows Phone marketplace. Of course, the Nokia Lumia devices will be the first to benefit from this liaison. Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
With a great start to 2012, Jeff Bradley, senior vice president of devices for AT&T surmised the year's goals beautifully: "Together, we are working to supercharge the ecosystem around the Nokia Lumia 900 and the Windows Phone platform."

Bands don't come much more brutal than Deicide! Unrelenting death metal, guttural growls, harrowing shrieks, anti-religious themes, bomb scares & squirrel homicide. Releasing their first 6 records on Roadrunner, Florida's Deicide have certainly never been ones to shy away from controversy. It is reported that frontman Glen Benton branded an inverted cross on his forehead at least 12 times. Listen to all classic Roadrunner albums right here!
Legend has it that Deicide joined Roadrunner after Benton stormed into the labels office with a demo & the words "sign us, you fucking asshole!" Originally known as Amon the band released a number of demos before officially becoming Deicide & releasing their self-titled debut album in 1990. The album featured the tracks 'Deicide' & 'Mephistopheles' which had both featured on their 1989 demo Sacrificial. The record deals with satanic & anti-Christian themes as well as taking influences from movie The Evil Dead & Charles Manson. Benton claims that no effects were used on his voice during the recording of the record & many argue that it is the bestselling death metal album of all time.
Decide was followed by the bands sophomore album Legion in 1992. This is a seminal fan favourite & considered by the band to be the most chaotic & ambitious of their career. If you fancy scaring yourself, play the first track on the album backwards & see if you can hear the subliminal message!
1995 saw the release of the bands EP 'Once Upon The Cross'. Recorded again with Scott Burns the record featured samples from Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation Of Christ. 1997 witnessed the release of 'Serpents Of Light'. The album which featured a track of the same name was reportedly written about a friend of Benton's who had died. The band's first live album 'When Satan Lives' was released in 1998. Recorded at the House Of Blues in Chicago the album features 17 of the finest tracks from the bands catalogue to date.
2000 saw the release of Deicide's last record with Roadrunner. 'Insineratehym' saw the band slow the pace down in favour of darker grooves. Click here to listen to all these incredible records on Spotify!

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Balboa Nice quality Nice quality fabric. We like the versatility of either using the wood rings to hang off the rod or having the fabric running through the rod. A tad bit disappointed that we had four panels, two of which were the same length and the other two were not; one very short and the other two inches longer than the pair that matched. May 29, 2013

CANTON The Institute for Learning Centered Education held its 21st Constructivist Design Conference for Educational Improvement this week in St. Lawrence Universitys student center.
Energy filled the building as 39 teams from schools all over the state and even one group from California collaborated with one another to conceptualize and learn methods of constructivist teaching and how to incorporate those theories in their districts.
The conference is designed to promote and teach about constructivism, which is an educational philosophy that people learn better when theyre directly engaged in helping to build their own learning rather than sitting and receiving knowledge from an expert who stands and delivers, said Stephen J. Todd, assistant superintendent of instruction for the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services. This whole conference is built on the premise that participants are there engaging in constructivist learning of their own while building experiences that they want to take back to their school.
Mr. Todd said BOCES is helping to sponsor the conference, which has 18 school districts participating.
Weve seen participation among our districts go up pretty significantly this year, he said. Last year, we had 13 teams from our 18 school districts participating. This year we have 22.
Donald E. Mesibov,co-founder and director of the Institute for Learning Centered Education, Potsdam, said the Monday through Friday conference has grown this year because of the states new evaluation system for teachers that incorporates constructivist theories.
The difference between being satisfactory and being the top rating is whether or not youre letting students drive the lessons, he said. Teaching constructivist theory was going against the grain when we started, but now teachers are being required to teach the way we have been trying to model for years.
Each team determines a specific task it wishes to accomplish by the end of the week, such as curriculum development, school improvements or strategies to implement constructivist practices in the classroom.
Mr. Mesibov pairs up expert facilitators to work with each team according to its task.
Frank Pickus, Saratoga Springs, has been a facilitator at the conferences for 12 years. As assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction for Gloversville School District, Mr. Pickus has been acting as a conference facilitator for the Canton administration team two years in a row.
Its interesting for me to see the kinds of things that other people are dealing with that are similar to what we have, he said. Thats what keeps me coming back because even though I come here to help other groups, I always come away having learned something.
Joseph D. McDonough, principal of Banford Elementary School, and Mark T. Passamonte, principal of Hugh C. Williams High School, are part of the Canton administration team of five. They said they come to the conference each year because they value having five uninterrupted days to work on a number of tasks. This year, their team is working to design a comprehensive plan to implement the Common Core State Standards.
Just having the amount of people here all working on similar topics gives us the ability to have conversations with people who are in the same situations and gives us stories and ideas to bring back to our schools, Mr. McDonough said.
A team of seven that traveled from California to attend consisted of representatives of California State University as well as Sycamore Academy of Science and Cultural Arts in Wildomar. Their task for the week was to create a West Coast Constructivist Conference for next year.
If we were to offer a conference on the West Coast, we would have a wider impact on student success than just word of mouth, said Dionna E. Fitch, teacher and curriculum specialist for Sycamore Academy. The unique thing about this conference in comparison to other conferences is that its like a mirror image of what a constructivist-based class would look like.

News PhotoAdult,Caracas,City,Effigy,Government,Horizontal,Hugo Chavez,Men,Mural,Politics,President,Street,VenezuelaPhotographer AFPCollection: AFP 2013 AFPA man paints a mural portraying Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on the streets of Caracas on January 8, 2013. A constitutional fight over cancer-stricken President Hugo Chavez's status intensified Tuesday with the government planning a massive show of support in the streets on the day he is supposed to be sworn in to a new term. The call for a rally Thursday outside the Miraflores presidential palace comes amid a stormy debate over whether Chavez and his current government can remain in office if he is too sick to take the oath of office. Chavez, who underwent his fourth round of cancer surgery in Havana nearly a month ago, is suffering from a severe pulmonary infection that has resulted in a respiratory insufficiency.

Commission supports Maritime and Coastal Tourism and assists SMEs to access markets in Greece Publicado em: 11/03/2014, Última atualização: 25/06/2015
Coastal and maritime tourism is one of the key drivers for creating growth and new jobs in Europe, in particular in coastal areas which often suffer from high unemployment. It is a pillar of the "Blue Growth" strategy and has a potential to create growth and new jobs, particularly in areas with high unemployment.
The High Level Conference on Coastal and Maritime Tourism, that took place in Athens on 10 March 2014 in the framework of the Informal Meeting of Ministers for Tourism, discussed the growing dynamics of the sector, its economic and social benefits, its contribution to the enhancement of regions and local economies and its potential contribution to a decrease in unemployment.
The Commission has recently presented a new strategy to enhance coastal and maritime tourism in Europe. It proposes 14 Actions to enable coastal regions and business to tackle the challenges and make a quantum leap in order to exploit opportunities for growth and jobs sustainably. The new strategy also calls on industry stakeholders, Regions and Member States to take up the challenges and complement the EU actions.
Conference: Europe 2020 Strategy for growth
On 11 March, a Commission led "Mission for growth" is also bringing representatives of about 145 European companies to Greece, to participate in bilateral meetings with 330 SMEs from across Greece with the aim to form new partnerships and discuss opportunities for collaboration.

According to Bruce Garrioch in the Ottawa Sun, the main reason that Columbus didn't send Rick Nash to the Rangers was because they never budged on wanting 2009 first round pick Chris Kreider.
Glen Sather refused to move Kreider in any deal at the deadline.
The Rangers offer for Nash was believed to be Brandon Dubinsky, Tim Erixon, JT Miller, Christian Thomas and a first round pick.

Buffalo, NY - Buffalo Public Works Commissioner Steve Stepniak tells 2 on Your Side that the long delayed splash pad project at MLK park should be up and running by June 1st along with the rest of the city's splash pads and pools. Stepniak says crews will finish with final testing of the underground pipes and shower heads in May. They have also been working on the surface of the pad.
Neighborhood groups have complained that the city did not put enough pressure on the Man O' Trees contracting firm to get the work done as promised last summer. Samuel Herbert of the Coalition to Save MLK Park says he is still skeptical . Herbert says he reminded Stepniak that the coalition and residents are counting on the opening of the splash pad as a centerpiece for the Juneteenth Festival in the park on June 8th.
City Hall spokesman Mike DeGeorge says there will be an announcement on the project in the near future.
The $4.5 Million dollar project involves extensive underground pipes which will pump water for the splash pad in the summer and then provide the frozen ice surface for a skating rink in the winter. Stepniak says it is a very complex project which is the largest of its kind. He says the delays by the contractor have been discussed with the city's legal department but their main emphasis has been on getting the project completed and making sure it works properly.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear is the first smartwatch from Samsung. Unveiled alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, The Galaxy Gear is designed to work with the hulking Note 3 and, eventually, the Samsung Galaxy S4. This device aims to reduce your dependence on your smartphone by taking functions that usually require you to pull out, unlock, and power up your device and making them doable by looking at your wrist.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear gives you the ability to handle phone calls and answer text messages without pulling out your smartphone. While it doesn't presently support email or social media, the number of apps available for the Gear is expected to increase after the smartwatch hits the market.
Aesthetically, The Galaxy Gear is a very well put together device. It features a button-less front, a brushed metal finish, and a black rubber strap. This combination makes for a very solid package overall. The device features just one button. This button powers up the device with a single click, or activates the voice command features with a second click. It also comes in a wide variety of colours, but we are particularly fond of the black and silver finishes. Overall the look of it walks the line between being nerdy and professional, but should be universally accepted in terms of its looks.
The screen itself is a 1.6 inch touchscreen. While that seems on the small side, the screens 320x320-pixel resolution is nothing to laugh at. Small text looks sharp and there are no problems reading names, numbers, or texts on the Gear's screen. The Gear's onboard camera, which is built into the strap, is 1.9 megapixel shooter and is powered by a 800 MHz processor.
While the technology is new, the Samsung Galaxy Gear gives us lots to be excited about when it comes to the smartwatch. It will be interesting to see how apps are eventually utilized on the device and where we go from here when it comes to wearable tech.

It was a risky move, one that soured many locals on their hometown hill. But when Taos opened its slopes to snowboarders four years ago this month, little did it know it would see skier—and boarder—visits climb to their highest numbers in a decade.
We thought that the war between one and two plankers ended long ago, but the American Journal of Sports Medicine opens old wounds with a recent study finding that—drumroll please—snowboarders suffer more injuries on the slopes. Specifically, inexperienced female snowboarders. The Huffington Post breaks it down here.
People were pursuing animals and enemies on skis before the invention of the wheel. Because two-legged snow travel persisted for thousands of years, no one thought of sliding downhill on anything other than two skinny boards when skiing became a recreational sport. Then, epiphany! Suddenly, about 30 years ago, the Burton snowboard appeared. Here, it seemed, was a radical new way to slide downhill.
Snowsports Merchandising Corporation (SMC), the premier buying group of specialty ski and snowboard shops in the wintersports industry and W.L. Gore & Associates have announced a marketing partnership to aid in the launch of GORE-TEX® Gloves with X-TRAFIT™ Product Technology. This new technology is featured in many glove suppliers' collections for winter season 2009 – 2010.
BROOMFIELD, Colo.—April 13, 2009—Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:MTN) today announced that, beginning with the 2009-2010 winter season, the Company will require all employees to wear helmets when skiing or riding on the job at each of its five mountain resorts: Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Heavenly. Helmets will be provided to every employee next fall as part of their standard uniform for working on the mountain. This new initiative is part of Vail Resorts' overall commitment to skier and snowboarder safety programs.
LAKE TAHOE, CA - March 12, 2009 - Bear Naked, the natural foods innovator and maker of all-natural granolas and trail mixes, will be setting up tents at Tahoe ski resorts throughout the remainder of March to give skiers, snowboarders and local residents a chance to try free samples of Bear Naked foods:

- March 21-22, Squaw Valley
- March 28-29, Alpine Meadows

wrong post sowwy
Edited by bearbreeder on 02/21/2013 01:08:58 MST.
Yup...southeast. At least as compared to NY/NJ/Conn/RI. I'm from DC, and they used to be all over the place, now not so much. There's still one in my hometown, but I can't remember there being any more in the area.
Yum...Hardees: a good way to get stupid heavy. 'Stupid light?' is probably a good question to ask where safety enters the equation. Not sure, but I think alpinist Kelly Cordes first used this term to describe an alpine climb he and Josh Wharton did in Pakistan. Carrying the absolute minimal amount of gear to complete a climb considerably raises the stakes, because it usually involves carrying less protection in case of a fall, and less gear for stationary warmth and weather protection. It can also make for more dramatic ascents, bigger objectives in less time, more guts/more glory. While pushing these limits makes sense for some alpinists on cutting edge climbs, I think it makes less sense for the weekend backpacker considering ditching their rain shell to save a few oz (not talking to you desert rats!). Here's where a friend or forum member might chime in 'stupid light?'However, I could care less if someone wants to use super fragile SUL trekking poles, a poncho tarp, or a pack with no pockets. Its not my business, and I don't want it to be. I don't think it makes you stupid if you're willing to sacrifice a little comfort and convenience for the knowledge that you're pack weighs less than some arbitrary number. Maybe just quirky.As far as my own backpacking goes, I use to sleep on just a 3 oz closed cell foam pad, but a couple years ago I started losing sleep and waking with an achy lower back. I got 'smart' and bought a neo air, but I'm still envious of those who can sleep soundly on thin CCF.
Edited by sgiachetti on 02/21/2013 06:34:47 MST.
Boy do I agree with you...I very much wish I could still sleep on some thin CCF, rather than the neo-air potato chip bag.
Dan Lee"Does anyone have specific examples/scenarios that you would consider stupid light?"There was a post recently about the philosophy of nature or some thing recently.Several of the posts here mentioned compromising safety for weight. I don't want to be found dead on the trail and have the rescuer say "If he only had X, he would be alive." For example, I carry a personal locator beacon - Find Fast - http://www.fastfindplb.com/us/products/39-fast-find-210. Might another be compromising enjoyment for weight? This of course is subjective.
Edited by dextersp1 on 02/21/2013 07:17:59 MST.
I would define "stupid light" as compromising your health or safety in order to save weight. As others said, it can be simply defying common sense just to get a lighter base weight. I think it is most important with items on the classic 10 essentials list and selecting items that aren't suitable for the conditions. Skurka's example of bug protection certainly hits the common sense side. Trying to reduce base weight by leaving out core items like rain gear, first aid kit, compass and map, etc is stupid light to me. Extend that to using poor substitutes like a button compass for primary navigation, a single edge razor blade rather than a basic knife, or a tiny button cell LED for primary lighting. Taking toys just to say you checked off the essentials is fooling yourself IMHO. That doesn't mean loading up on heavy stuff, but a 2oz compass isn't going to bloat your spreadsheet. To me, the down/synthetic debate is more an issue of local climate and conditions rather than not bringing good insulation at all. I've made the point that taking a thin puffy can be a waste of weight if you end up too cold in camp. Likewise the preference in sleeping pad. The stuff you bring needs to work.
"Stupid Light" is what I say when what should be the simplest of electronic devices - the headlamp - decides to not turn on when I need it.
Ha, Nathan!"Stupid light" is sort of unfortunately phrased, since I've seen people get defensive about it, but the concept is basically to be more comprehensive and thoughtful when evaluating your gear choices instead of going directly from spreadsheet to field. A lesson that hopefully most learn without ending up putting themselves in real danger. Everyone will develop their own decision-making process to facilitate this, but I think at the core is CYA--Check Your Assumptions. How realistic are your goals? How good is your beta? What skills are you weak on? Explicitly considering those questions can reveal things you're taking for granted that could compromise your trip. Ask the right questions, give thoughtful answers, learn from mistakes...and no more stupid light.
"stupid light" is something your find out after the fact ... when yr cold, tired, hungry, in the dark, and wetit all seems a brilliant idea when you salivate over the spreadsheets ;)
it all seems a brilliant idea when you salivate over the spreadsheets ;)Indeed!(Too many;-) decades ago I knew a Soil Science PHD student who was doing research on the effects of different tillage practices. His father, a farmer, loved to rib him by asking "Tell me again ... how you are plowing fields using a computer?"
On the PCT in August just south of Olancha PEak in a high (8,000 ft.) valley I experienced a 26 F. and a 24 F. night. My ONLY extra insulation was a 200 wt. fleece vest. Barely enough with my WM Megalite 30 F. bag and NOT enough later the last morning on the trail at 16 F.!!Now I carry a slightly lighter Eddie Bauer 800 fill light down jacket. In Nevada's Ruby Mountians it proved itself to be the best for cold summer nights. I'll never again venture into high altitudes without it.
I went up on Denali with a single CCF sleeping pad -- pretty stupid but I had tested it all winter on Mount Washington, NH and thought I would be fine.Luckily I realized early on that it wasn't going to be enough and the base camp manager radio'd down to the airstrip and they brought me another pad on the next flight up.(Turns out we didn't get very far anyway but at least I was comfortable waiting out storms and sickness.)
I can sleep soundly on flat rock and wake up ready to hike. That doesn't mean I do it... CCF works for me though. When I'm in my hammock I prefer a torso-length neo-Air though, because my CCF pad takes a beating from the hammock bend.
By comfortable I meant "not freezing my butt off." The single CCF pad just wasn't warm enough.
'"stupid light" is something your find out after the fact ... when yr cold, tired, hungry, in the dark, and wet'That is what I call the "Too Factor". When you are TOO cold, wet, hungry, lost, tired, etc, it is time to re-work your kit. Hopefully, it is a gentle learning process rather than a life-threatening event. It has been discussed here before that the best method of testing new gear may be by taking a CYA backup if the new toys fail. New sailboat owners often take a deliberate "breakdown cruise" in safer conditions to work the bugs out. Testing gear in the height of Summer is much kinder than late Fall :)
I have gone without a shelter in winter when there was a sunny forecast. One time I ended up building a natural shelter when it stormed hard the last night. I took branches off a recently fallen tree.Stupid light?
Edited by justin_baker on 02/21/2013 13:53:38 MST.
In my mind Stupid Light is when you compromise something that is important to you just to save weight. In the case of Skurka that seemed to be hiking efficiency, as he needs to crank out high mileage days weeks after week. It will be other things for other people (speed, comfort, enjoyment etc.) and there will be a degree of subjectivity involved. By my definition Aaron and Justin need to decide for themselves if they went stupid light.
We're all out there with different goals, and for different reasons. I personally tend to prioritize all day comfort for high mileage hiking over night time comfort. Consequently, I'm happy to rely on a poncho for shelter, a postage stamp foam pad, and no changes of clothing or other luxuries. For those who value the comforts of camp, this might be a stupid approach, but it appeals to my minimalist sensibilities. For me, stupid light would be bringing a pot too small to boil the water I needed for a meal/drink in one go, as this would drop my efficiency.On one fast paced trip, I brought no insulation other than my 35 degree sleeping bag, using that to wrap myself in at stops. It dropped down to 28F or so one night which was pretty chilly (but not unbearable). That was probably stupid light. Then again, I achieved a personal best in mileage/pace and had an awesome time, in part because the additional challenges. Next time though, I'll add in a 3.5 oz vest, with no perceptible change in pack weight.Stupid? Not so sureFrom the same trip

Read: Ryan Callahan Visited His Old High School Last Week
Last week Ryan Callahan visited his old High School in Hilton, NY, a suburb of Rochester.
Callahan spoke with a student-athlete leadership council according to the Brighton Pittsford Post.
Callahan said that he spoke with the students about facing adversity and using that as motivation, "When I was named captain it was recognition for the hard work I put in and I earned that by being myself. One key to being a leader is to be yourself, and if you have a solid work ethic and go about thinks the right way others will feed off your success."
He also spoke of the highs and lows of a long season and how not to get too high or too low after games.
Time Warner Rochester has more on Callahan's visit.
Earlier in the lockout Callahan skated with the Nazareth College team.
Below are tweets from some of the students that met Callahan.

The water outlook for all of Utah, and in particular for Castle Country, is looking down as the area heads into spring.
According Randy Julander of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, February was a carbon copy of January - cold and dry. There were few storms of note and long stretches of cold in between perpetuating the climate pattern established earlier in the winter.
"Snow packs are simply not increasing as they normally should so as a percent of median - they have declined," stated Julander in a report last week. "Anywhere from 10 to 40 percent since Jan. 1. The season that started off with a bang is going out with barely a whimper."
With only two weeks left in the snow accumulation season, there is little probability that northern Utah will get sufficient snow pack to bring current conditions back to normal. Southern Utah is in better shape with snow packs close to 90 percent of median.
Statewide the change in percentages over the past month are: Bear (-19 percent), Weber (-10 percent), Provo (-14 percent), Tooele (-16 percent), Northeastern Uintahs (-13 percent), Duchesne (-16 percent), Price/San Rafael (-10 percent), Dirty Devil (-7 percent), Southeastern Utah (-15 percent), Upper Sevier (-8), San Pitch (-5 percent), Lower Sevier (+5 percent), Beaver (-9 percent), Escalante (-17 percent) and Southwest Utah (-24 percent).
The NOAA Climate Prediction Center is forecasting warmer than normal temperatures and lower than normal precipitation for March through May. Soil moisture conditions are near normal for northern Utah and very dry in the south and southeast. Reservoir storage continues to incrementally improve as water managers are storing as much as possible but is nearly 20 percent less than last year. Surface Water Supply indices are mostly below average across the state. Overall, the water supply outlook is below average. Given the poor and declining current conditions coupled with the forecast potential of a dry spring - water users are advised to prepare accordingly.
February first snow packs as measured by the NRCS SNOTEL system range from 73 percent of
median on the Weber to 97 percent over the Tooele Valley. Northern Utah is in the 70 percent range while southern Utah is in the 90 percent range. Mountain precipitation during January was 49 percent of average which brings the seasonal accumulation (Oct-Feb) 82 percent of normal.
Soil Moisture is close to what it was last month, characteristic of winter trends. Very dry in southeast Utah at 21 percent of saturation and average to a little above in the remainder of the state.
Storage in 46 of Utah's key irrigation reservoirs is at 69 percent of capacity compared to 87 percent last year.
The snowpack in the Price and San Rafael Basins is below average at 81 percent of normal, compared to 68 percent last year. Precipitation in February was much below average at 59 percent, which brings the seasonal accumulation (Oct-Feb) to 85 percent of average. Soil moisture is at 37 percent compared to 56 percent last year. Reservoir storage is at 50 percent of capacity, compared to 78 percent last year.
The forecast for stream flow volumes range from 53 percent to 70 percent of average. The surface water supply index is 25 percent for the Price River, 23 percent for Joe's Valley, 17 percent for Ferron Creek.

Dozens filled a small church in Orlando on Sunday for the first of many gatherings to commemorate the anniversary of Trayvon Martin's death.
Greater Orlando CARES, a non-profit group, sponsored the event, which included singing, poems, speeches and performances aimed at honoring Martin's legacy. One of the Martin family attorneys, Natalie Jackson, spoke to the audience.
Jackson said the Martins want Trayvon's memory to exude non-violence. They'd also like the movement to serve as an example for youth. Jackson says she hopes it will teach young people to keep standing up for what they think is right.
"It's not about George Zimmerman. It's not about his criminal case. It's about making sure that the Justice Department and the criminal justice system operates the way that it should," said Jackson.
Jackson said despite the Trayvon Martin Foundation's greater cause of inspiring youth and fighting injustice, the Martins are anxiously looking ahead to the case against Zimmerman.
"This is a family that lost a child. They lost a 17-year-old child, so of course for them they would like to see the killer of their child sent to prison," she said.
Zimmerman's criminal trial looms. It's set for June, but a self-defense hearing is scheduled for April, when a judge could throw out the charges. Zimmerman maintains that he shot the teen in self defense.
Jackson said Martin's parents are expected to attend and speak at a rally held in New York City on Tuesday, which will fall on the exact date of Martin's death.

|Electric saw causes fire, Marshal says
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 10 May 2007 01:43
A fire that resulted in $85,000 worth of property damage at Discover Advertising in North Wilkesboro earlier this week started when an electric saw on charge overheated, according to Wilkes Fire Marshal Nick Hamby.No one was injured in the fire, which occurred after hours. The blaze was mainly confined to a storage room, though it did bypass the second floor and cause some damage in the attic and roof area. North Wilkes and Knotsville fire departments responded to the scene and were able to get things under control quickly.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted my fireplace mantel during my minimalist phase. I know you are not surprised that the minimalist phase was short-lived on my mantel, but it's not my fault! The Tablescaper left a comment telling me to get out some Easter bunnies for my mantel. Well, those bunnies in my holiday closet must have read her comment, because some of my favorite bunnies started hopping out of that closet and onto my mantel, and they brought some of my favorite eggs with them.
See that pretty little silver bunny couple under the tree? I ordered that last year from Celestina Marie at her Etsy, La Rea Rose.
When I was a child (yes ~ long, long ago), I loved looking at the illustrations in a very old book that belonged to my mother. Don't be shocked at the condition of this book ~ as a child, I didn't even think about taking care of this old relic when I was flipping through the pages, and
as I said, it IS old!
Last week, I told you about shopping with my friend, Susie. I found this Easter egg in an antique store, and I had to buy it, because it reminded me of the illustrations in this book. It is currently one of my favorite Easter eggs, and I hope it qualifies me to link to Thrifty Things Friday at The Thrifty Groove.
The last "segment" of this post (My posts are so long, I have to divide them into segments!), is not a favorite thing, but I did have fun doing it. I accepted the Pringles Grab & Go Challenge, hosted by Liz at Rose Vignettes.
It is supposed to resemble an Easter basket. I will be "crafting" 3 more of these. The pipe cleaner "handle" is inserted in holes in the plastic lid, and the "basket" decorations are glued to the top of the plastic lid, so that my grandchildren will be able to open the cans to find treats inside for Easter Day. Thanks for challenging me to do something with a Pringles can, Liz!
I'm also joining The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays.
Thank you for coming for a visit. Go check out all of the other favorite links shown below, and you'll see some wonderful treasures. laurie

|More Info
At every installment of the AGFA Deep Tracks series, we invite you to view a film from the murky depths of the American Genre Film Archive vault, with all proceeds benefiting the Archive. This month's selection: Philippe Mora's THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN INVINCIBLE (1983)!
"Say, what happens when a superhero stops being so super?" If you've ever found yourself wondering this in the twilight hours of the morning, you might want to be sitting down as you read the following sentences about THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN INVINCIBLE. In short, when a famed World War II-era superhero, Captain Invincible (Alan Arkin), gets canned in a McCarthy-type hearing for his alleged communist leanings (as well as public indecency and flying without a license), he becomes a raging alcoholic. Inevitably, Earth as we know it cannot survive without the aid of its hero. When Invincible's age-old rival, the diabolical Mr. Midnight (Christopher Lee), steals a bizarre government prototype -- the "hypno-ray" -- and threatens to use it against first New York and then the world, Captain Invincible must be coaxed back into action. Having forgotten how to use all his powers, he must reluctantly retrain himself back to sobriety until justice can once again be properly served. Directed by Philippe Mora (better known for 1976's Dennis Hopper-starring MAD DOG MORGAN) and with a script by Stephen E. de Souza (the fella who wrote DIE HARD), this film is the oddest of odd cinematic birds, the veritable first and last of its kind: the world's only superhero movie-musical! Also, Australia's first ever superhero movie! Prepare to have your mind thoroughly melted by this cringe-worthy cult classic. (Sam Prime)

What is the length of rope issued by Philmont for the bear bag rope. The 2010 guide lists 100'on page 18. I've seen both 150' and 100' listed in various places and was wondering what they actually issue. We have already purchased 300' of the blue amsteel rope so we are set in either case.
You can get by with 100 feet if you stay on Philmont property and don't use an OOPs bag. I'm told that some of the campsites in the Valle Vidal don't have bear cables and need more rope ... will find out this July.
We took 2 lengths of Blue Amsteel 150' each. It was too much rope. I think 100; would be fine if you haven't already cut it down in half. Also, the rope is hard to work with when new. It's best to get out and get it dirty, wet, etc. as it becomes a little more pliable. You can also wrap the rope around a stick to help haul it up.
We took two 150' lengths last year which was actually too much. Two 100' lengths on a non Valle Vidale trek should work fine. I agree with the comments about the rope being difficult to use when new. Our crew had a tough time keeping it untangled. This can become quite frustrating and time consuming. I would definitely practice or devise an alternate solution. We plan to do something different for our trek in 2011.Make sure you have the specifications with you for the rope because you may need to convince your ranger it is acceptable. Each one is different. The rope when untangled is terrific.
+1 on frustration with tanglesJust stuffing it in a stuff sack rather than rolling it up reduced the problem with tangles. This is because tangles are caused by "loops" pulling through each other and rolling the rope elbow to wrist as the boys like to do creates lots of loops for the next use.On our next Philmont trek, I plan to wrap the rope around a flat 4"x12" rectangular plastic sheet with V notches cut in the 4" sides.
Al, what kind of plastic sheet did you have in mind? I am looking for something as well to try and put our ropes on. dave
Hi David,I was thinking of using something light and rigid such as foam poster board. Here is a quick sketch of the idea to keep from tangling the 150' of Amsteel bear rope.If you give it a try, let me know how it works.Al
Edited by geist on 05/27/2010 22:47:28 MDT.
I did that same thing with paint stirrers--those pieces of wood that are about a foot long, an inch wide, and 1/8 inch thick. I cut it down to about 6 inches, put notches in the end, and it holds about 75 feet of Kelty triptease. Weighs almost nothing. However, plastic might be more durable, since the wood these stirrers are made out of is slightly better grade than balsa wood!
Al, I made a holder out of 3/16" foam poster board today from your sketch. It holds 150' of Amsteel rope very well. I will let you know how the boys do with it. May have to come up with some kind of dirt bag or something to get the rope over the bear cable. thanks for the idea, dave
My 0.45 ounce solution (from an old Camel Back dryer). I ended up clipping the ends a bit closer to reach the 0.45 oz mark.
Edited by brianjbarnes on 05/31/2010 19:23:06 MDT.
For our two crews in 2009 we got 300 feet of 7/64 Amsteel Blue from Redden Marine. We cut 2 - 100 foot pieces for the main ropes. I don't remember for sure but I think we had 2 - 50 foot sections for the oops bag. We also spliced in a small loop at the center of the main lines. We used the loop to clip in a carabiner and a climbing pulley to make raising the oops bag easier.We didn't have a problem with tangles; I've got my guys trained to put up ropes in a monkeybraid/daisy chain. One thing to remember is to not let that rope hang free. When it's over the bear line make sure to tie the ends together with a loose knot so that it forms a loop over the bear lines. We didn't do that once and with a little wind we got a tangle 25 feet above the ground. It took some fussing to get our rope back.
Our crew liked Al's block and tackle system. The boys managed to set one up at just under 16oz. One of Al's articles suggested Philmont was "evaluating" the technique but had not yet approved. I called today and talked to the Chief Ranger (Adam H) who appeared to only have a vague recollection of the idea and does not recall that anyone actually evaluated anything in the off season. We are going to bring Al's setup and demonstrate it again to any of the four Assistant Chief Rangers Adam named (Christine S, Alex K, Kirsten A, and/or Matt P). Sounds like we need to be prepared to fall back on the Philmont way - at least with our ligher ropes. We will see if we can get a formal ruling out of Philmont this year. Other crews should consider doing the same.
Michael, just wanted to let you know you are going to have to be VERY persistent with Philmont to adopt something new! Even when rangers suggested things to the administration in the past, it took a couple of seasons. That being said, all of upper leadership in place in the ranger dept now are great (we were all rangers together back in 05&06). If you can get any of the ACRs excited about it, you will be more likely to succeed. Also, make sure if they do like your proposal, that you sit down with Adam and Mark Anderson (the head of philmont and who will actually be the one to make a decision about changes in the backcountry).
Oh and just for info everyone, the offical bear rope length is 100'. Just measured mine that I took from the ranch back in '06. Don't think anything has changed since then.EDIT: I do think if you are bringing your own rope, 150' is definitely a better length as there are a few lines that are way up there and doing your own hanging in the valle, it will be easier with the longer length.
Edited by coastalhiker on 06/23/2010 13:39:53 MDT.
Just got back from Philmont. The amsteel worked well, except for tangling and untangling the rope. It frustrated a few Scouts in our crew. I would suggest having the scouts practice untangling the rope. Some of our Scouts could not get the concept of shaking the rope to remove the tangles. Instead the wanted to pull the rope through, which just made more knots.
The response from Philmont below. I'll let you know how it goes when I get back in early August. Many thanks to Al for the great ideas.MikeFrom: Adam HerrenbruckSent: Friday, June 25, 2010 3:41 PMTo: Philmont CampingSubject: Re: FW: [Philmont 2010] alternate bear bag procedureTo all it may concern:I spoke with one crew advisor on the phone about the bear bag system asproposed by Al Geist.I explained to him that it would be best to demonstrate it to the Rangerwho can then determine if it will work.I also requested that he stop by the Ranger office and Ranger Leadershipcan look at the system and give a ruling on what we think based on ourPhilmont experience. The system is not, as far as I can tell, inviolation of our policies. I do however have some concerns and seeingthe system set up would be helpful.The system can be stored in a crew locker if it is determined inadequatefor the trail.Adam HerrenbruckChief RangerPhilmont Scout Ranch
Don't count on using ANY alternative Bear rope method this summer at Philmont. There have been multiple incidents with bears this year and any deviation from 'standard' procedure is greatly frowned upon. None of our 4 crews were allowed to use our Amsteel blue on our treks in late June... prior to most of the bear incidents.... Some ounces aren't worth the hastle - enjoy the hike!
Edited by SCKuhn on 07/08/2010 09:06:39 MDT.
Just returned from 2010 trek. Saw only one bear, not a threat. No incidents with our crew/gear.Rangers and staff at PSR are very strict regarding bear precautions. Whilst the provided ropes are not perhaps the best, they work more than adequately using the prescribed procedures. Lighter ropes may save a few ounces, but unless you're carrying much stuff that's not needed, the rope weights won't be a significant issue.We did hear of several bear incidents, but I cannot report with confidence on the credibility of the reports. Widely variant reports on same incidents cropped up repeatedly.My recommendation is to follow PSR procedures for hanging smellables, and use their gear. Effective, and the staff are comfortable with their procedures. Small gains in using non-prescribed methods/gear don't outweigh cost and time involved in arguing with staff.
+1The ONLY Philmont provided gear that our crews have used in the last few years have been the bear ropes & bags. The weight impact across a crew is a few ounces per hiker. There are many worse problems to have.Have a GREAT time at Philmont!
I just returned from PSR on Tuesday....we used our 1000lb kevlar rope without any questions, got it approved at the issue point. There are no cables in the Vidal, that's where the extra lengths come in play...We ended up finding a Philmont issued rope and used it with three loops tied in it about 2' apart, hooked beaners up to those and looped our Kevlar trough them. Hoist that rope up and then we pulled our bags up through the beaners. That made it easy....As far as the issued bear bags...why carry an extra bag to put your stuff sack in? Tie a loop in the rope and clip your bag on the rope...

Family albums 'n four-speeds – early evidence of our love of old cars
If we needed any proof that old cars are in our blood, we sure have it now. When we put out the call for your family album photos with old cars in 'em the other day, we got plenty of responses and some great stories. The first one to come in, above, was from Ron Peters, who writes:
This is my favorite family car photo. It is my Uncle Paul Stucki (behind the wheel) and his friend Ownie (Owen). It was a purpose built race car called a Hisso (based on the Hispano Suiza motor). I think my uncle was the mechanic and not the full time driver. I believe it was taken probably sometime in the 1940's in the Portland OR area but don't know for sure. We've tried getting more history on the car but haven't had much luck. I'd love to know if this car still exists somewhere and get more/corrected info.
Next, Jeff Reeves provided a photo definitively explaining his affliction with AMCs Date: circa 1973. Place: Eufaula, Alabama.
Here's an early photo of me immersed in AMC-dom more or less. I was probably about 2 years old or so in this photo. The silver Javelin is a 1968 model equipped with a 290/automatic. My aunt and uncle bought this car new. They also were the original owners of the 1972 Gremlin X, a 258/3-speed car. The Gremlin was only about a year old in this photo. The 62 Dodge station wagon in the garage was also owned by my aunt and uncle, albeit briefly.
The gold 1968 Ambassador SST was purchased new by my grandparents. It was a 343/automatic car. It also became one of my very first cars circa 1984 or thereabouts. Unfortunately circumstances led to this car being given away and it eventually ended up in a junkyard. I wish I'd never let it go.
The green 1970 LeMans belonged to my parents, the original owners. It was a 350/auto car and while it wasn't a high option car, it did have AC, power steering and brakes, and I think it had an AM/FM radio, but I'm fuzzy on that detail–I was only about 6 or 7 when we got rid of it.
As you can see, I had no choice but to be an AMCer as I was immersed in them from an early age. I really wish I could locate that Gremlin as it had lots of memories for me, but I haven't seen that car since the early 90s and have no idea where it is now.
