With fears over the spread of H1N1, or "Swine Flu," many people have taken a increased concern over how they deal with the annual flu season.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), H1N1 is a new influenza virus causing illness in people.
This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. This virus is spreading from person-to-person worldwide, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) External Web Site Icon signaled that a pandemic of 2009 H1N1 flu was underway.
This information was obtained through the CDC and only includes a small percentage of what is available. Any one who wishes to find more information should visit www.cdc.gov for more and frequently updated information.
Swine Flu Name:
The name Swine Flu originated from laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs (swine) in North America.
But further study has shown that this new virus is very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs.
It has two genes from flu viruses that normally circulate in pigs in Europe and Asia and bird (avian) genes and human genes. Scientists call this a "quadruple reassortant" virus.
Regardless of its name and origin, many people feel a greater concern is the availability of the vaccine. The U.S. government has purchased 250 million doses of 2009 H1N1 vaccine, so anyone who wants to get the vaccine will have the opportunity to do so. Vaccine will be made available as quickly as possible as it rolls off the production lines, so initially, the vaccine will be available in limited quantities. Vaccination against 2009 H1N1 should begin as soon as vaccine is available and continue throughout the influenza season, into December, January, and beyond. No shortage of 2009 H1N1 vaccine is expected, but vaccine availability and demand can be unpredictable and initially the vaccine may be available in limited quantities.
Two types exist, one is an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The indications for who can get the 2009 H1N1 flu shot are the same as for seasonal flu shots. The flu shot is approved for use in people six months of age and older, including healthy people, people with chronic medical conditions and pregnant women. The same manufacturers who produce seasonal flu shots are producing 2009 H1N1 flu shots for use in the United States this season. The 2009 H1N1 flu shot is being made in the same way that the seasonal flu shot is made.
Also available a vaccine made with live, weakened viruses that do not cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for "live attenuated influenza vaccine"). The indications for who can get the 2009 H1N1 nasal spray vaccine are the same as for seasonal nasal spray vaccine. LAIV is approved for use in healthy people two years to 49 years of age who are not pregnant. The nasal spray vaccine for use in the United States is being made by MedImmune, the same company that makes the seasonal nasal spray vaccine called "FluMist." The 2009 H1N1 nasal spray vaccine is being made in the same way as the seasonal nasal spray vaccine.
About two weeks after vaccination, antibodies that provide protection against 2009 H1N1 influenza virus infection will develop in the body.
The 2009 H1N1 vaccine will not protect against seasonal influenza viruses. However it is still reccomened that people get the standard seasonal flu shot since it has not lost its importance this season.
Vaccine priorities:
When the vaccine is first available, ACIP recommends that programs and providers administer vaccine to people in the following five target groups (order of target groups does not indicate priority):
Pregnant women, People who live with or provide care for infants younger than six months (e.g., parents, siblings, and day care providers),
Health care and emergency medical services personnel, People six months through 24 years-of-age (especially those with higher risk for influenza-related - - Complications like children younger than five years and those who have high risk medical conditions), and, people 25 years through 64 years-of-age who have certain medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications.
Pregnant women advisories:
The seasonal and 2009 H1N1 flu vaccines can be given by shot or by nasal spray. Pregnant women should get the "flu shot"-a vaccine made with killed flu virus. This one is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The other type of flu vaccine-a nasal spray-is not approved for pregnant women. This vaccine is made with live, weakened flu virus. Nasal spray flu vaccine should be used only in healthy people two to 49 years-of-age who are not pregnant. The nasal spray vaccine is safe for women after they have delivered, even if they are nursing.
The side effects from 2009 H1N1 flu shots are expected to be like those from seasonal flu shots. The most common side effects after flu shots are mild, such as being sore and tender and/or red and swollen where the shot was given.
Some people might have headache, muscle aches, fever, and nausea or feel tired. If these problems happen, they usually begin soon after the shot and may last as long as one to two days. Some people may faint after getting any shot. Sometimes, flu shots can cause serious problems like severe allergic reactions. But, life-threatening allergic reactions to vaccines are very rare. A person who has a severe (life-threatening) allergy to eggs or to anything else in the vaccine should not get the shot, even if she is pregnant. Pregnant women should tell the person giving the shots if they have any severe allergies or if they have ever had a severe allergic reaction following a flu shot.
A number of flu tests are available to detect influenza viruses. The most common are called "rapid influenza diagnostic tests" that can be used in outpatient settings. These tests can provide results in 30 minutes or less. Unfortunately, the ability of these tests to detect the flu can vary greatly. Therefore, you could still have the flu, even though your rapid test result is negative. Several more accurate and sensitive flu tests available that must be performed in specialized laboratories, such as those found in hospitals or state public health laboratories. All of these tests are performed by a health care provider using a swab to swipe the inside of your nose or the back of your throat. These tests do not require a blood sample. You may have the flu if you have one or more of these symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue and sometimes, diarrhea and vomiting. Most people with 2009 H1N1 have had mild illness and have not needed medical care or antiviral drugs, Most people with flu symptoms do not need a test for 2009 H1N1 because the test results usually do not change treatment.

MASSENA - An apparently poorly planned squirrel hunt in the backyard of a Stoughton Avenue residence Saturday morning drew more than a dozen police officers to the location and resulted in felony and misdemeanor charges for the teenage shooter.
Village police charged William P. Rochefort, 18, of 107 Stoughton Ave., Massena, with a felony count of tampering with evidence, a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment and a discharging a firearm within 500 feet of dwelling.
Police responded to multiple reports shortly before 8 a.m. of shots fired on Stoughton Avenue.
Massena Village Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said village police, state police and St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department units responded to the scene at 107 Stoughton Ave. after receiving the initial complaint at 7:46 a.m. Saturday.
Subsequently, we took two people into custody. They were initially less than cooperative, but they eventually came up out of the residence, Mr. Currier said.
He said police recovered .22 calibre shell casings that had been fired from the rear of the property as well as a .22 long gun from inside the residence. We located the .22 in the basement. They were obviously trying to hide it, he said.
Rochefort reportedly told police he was shooting at a squirrel in the backyard of his residence. The second young man taken into custody at the scene was released without charges being filed, Mr. Currier said.
The village police chief said the .22 calibre long rifle had been hidden behind sheetrock inside a hole in the basement wall.
Approximately 15 officers from multiple agencies responded to the call. Police have responded to a number of drug related violence calls in the neighborhood in recent months.
Rochefort was turned over to his mother late Saturday morning.

1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbusby Charles C. Mann
Staff Pick
Charles C. Mann has pulled off an impressive feat — a scholarly, thorough work of history that's almost compulsively readable. In 1491, he summarizes and examines the last thirty years of research into the pre-Columbian Americas, and comes to some startling and exciting conclusions. Mann is an enthusiastic and capable guide, and 1491 is satisfyingly rich with description, anecdote, and example.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology, Charles C. Mann radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.
Contrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively molded and influenced the land around them. From the astonishing Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán, which had running water, immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary European city, to the Mexican corn that was so carefully created in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man's first feat of genetic engineering, Indians were not living lightly on the land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and fascinating world we only thought we knew.
"Mann has done a superb job of analyzing and distilling information, offering a balanced and thoughtful perspective on each of his themes in engaging prose." Library Journal
"Unless you're an anthropologist, it's likely that everything you know about American prehistory is wrong. Science journalist Mann's survey of the current knowledge is a bracing corrective....An excellent, and highly accessible, survey of America's past." Kirkus Reviews
"In sum, Mann tells a powerful, provocative and important story — especially in the chapters on the Andes and Amazonia." Alan Taylor, the Washington Post Book World
"[A]n important corrective — a sweeping portrait of human life in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus....A remarkably engaging writer, [Mann] lucidly explains the significance of everything from haplogroups to glottochronology to landraces." Kevin Baker, The New York Times Book Review
"Mann has written a landmark of a book that drops ingrained images of colonial America into the dustbin one after the other, such as that of the Pilgrims finding a pristine world of woodlands and guileless natives." Boston Globe
"A must-read survey course of pre-Columbian history — current, meticulously researched, distilling volumes into single chapters to give general readers a broad view of the subject." Providence Journal
"[A] concise and brilliantly entertaining thesis. I don't agree with all his big conclusions, but 1491 makes me think of history in a new way." Los Angeles Times
Mann offers a groundbreaking study that radically alters readers' understanding of the Americas before the arrival of the Europeans in 1492.

Using the most iconic Gallifreyan symbols from the Doctor Who series, we are pleased to present this set of four brass effect coasters. You can do more than just sit your mugs on them though; these symbols are also great display pieces on their own. The symbols used are; The Seal of Rassilon, Time Lord Seal, part of the Doctor's name and the symbol from The Master's ring. All symbols were made using the original CAD files used on Doctor Who. The techniques and materials used are the same as the original Timelord Seal used on the costuming of the Timelords in the episodes 'The End of Time'. The coasters are made using brass filled resin (just like the originals), and are hand art-worked and polished to give them an antique brass 'distressed' finish.
The coasters come packed in their own Doctor Who themed Gift box.

|Sheriff says avoid illegal fireworks
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 03 July 2007 19:53
County Sheriff Kevin Frye knows the dangers of illegal fireworks.
Many are not up to standards- always know the company and source of any firework you set off.
Illegal fireworks, in fact, can be unpredictable.
It can be difficult to tell how much time it will take for a fuse to burn. You may not have time to get away!
Above all, safety first, Frye said, and have a nice holiday.

LISBON - The Lisbon Central School Board of Education held an illegal closed-door meeting Monday to discuss the districts response to the death of 17-year old Victor Novosel.
Mr. Novosel, who was a sophomore at Lisbon Central School, died Wednesday evening following an accident at his home, according to state police.
Board of education President Blake P. Gendebien said the meeting was closed to the public because some members of the board felt threatened by comments made by members of the community on social media sites.
Mr. Gendebien also said the board is grading the schools administration as a whole, not as individual employees, in their response to Mr. Novosels death.
I dont want to stoke more public anger, he said.
The states open meeting law allows closed-door sessions to discuss matters that could imperil public safety, law enforcement efforts or a criminal investigation; current litigation; collective bargaining; the employment history or disciplinary action of individuals at the school; evaluation of employee performance; or purchasing land.
Prior to entering closed session, Mr. Gendebien went through the open meetings law publicly to find a suitable clause under which to hold executive session.
Im going through the list openly with you because I dont know, he said. What were doing is having a discussion on preparation and grading of school administration and matters that may imperil the safety of school employees.
Mr. Gendebien said comments made on social media can be a public safety threat if it endangers the safety of our students. We want to manage rapid communication properly for the safety of our students. That is why we held this executive session.
Mr. Gendebien would not elaborate on how social media can be a public safety threat and said the district has not received any threats of violence in the wake of their handling of the death of Mr. Novosel.
Referring specifically to Facebook, Mr. Gendebien said the districts administration was under major fire. Major heat. They are feeling major heat. I cant imagine what theyre feeling.
Originally Mr. Gendebien said the executive session was going to be held to discuss a personnel issue.
It would be a personnel issue on communication for managing an emergency response, he said, adding that board members would be discussing the contract of a particular individual.
Mr. Gendebien later backtracked, saying the board was debriefing our district crisis response plan, specifically relating to the very recent passing of a student.
The board went into closed session at 6 p.m. and emerged at roughly 7:15 p.m. No action was taken.

WINDHAM, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Contractors in Windham have only minor injuries after a roof they were working on collapsed on top of them.
PHOTOS: Roof collapses in Windham
Construction workers were securing trusses on the roof of a new riding arena when a slight breeze cause a domino effect, knocking half the trusses off and trapping a handful of workers. When the fire department arrived at 81 Nash Street, one man was on the ground complaining of neck and back pain. A couple of other men had some bruises and cuts. Three men in total were sent to the hospital where two have since been cleared and the other is recovering from minor back injuries.
Chief Charles Hammond of the Windham Fire Department says it doesn't seem like anyone made a mistake; Mother Nature just had bad timing.
"Those trusses go all the way across the top. You get a little bit of a breeze, and it starts moving things around, especially when they're not strapped off at the top and that's what they were doing today."
Chief Hammond called OSHA to tell them what happened. They will be conducting an investigation if necessary. Local police and code enforcement officials were also on scene.

LUBEC, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Running to Canada and back sounds pretty intimidating -- depending on where the starting line is.
Racers filled the streets in Lubec today for the first ever Bay of Fundy international marathon on a route that crossed the border into Canada and then back to the United States to cross the finish line.
"I feel great! I feel fantastic!," said Jessica Manos-Brown.
That was the common reaction as runners crossed the finish line at the first Bay of Fundy International Marathon and 10K.
"They've gone six miles in Lubec and 20 miles of a very hilly Campobello," said Race Founder Katherine Cassidy.
"Very challenging, hilly but well worth the challenge," said Sarah Mulcahy.
Sarah Mulcahy was the first woman to cross the finish line, winning her first marathon. A race that was a collaborative effort in the works for about a year.
"This has really been everybody's event. We have more than 100 volunteers, we have an amazing race director and an organizing committee of about 16 people that have been working together for about a year to make this happen," said Cassidy.
Bringing the community together as they packed School Street, providing additional motivation for the runners
"It was awesome everybody was cheering you on every step of the way which was pretty darn good," said Mulcahy.
"Listen! Do you hear it? Everyone's excited for everybody it's perfect, it's a great day even though it seems a little cool for the racers that's great," said Joellen Kelley as she watched runners cross the finish line.
More than 500 runners competed in the cross-border marathon. The unique route played a key role in the race's success.
"I think it's a draw for a lot of people including myself. It was nice having a Canadian-American marathon. It's very rare I think there is maybe one or two in the whole country like that so it was nice being a part of it," said Robert Ashby.
"I think we will do this again! We are trying to make this unique to downeast Maine and Campobello," said Cassidy.
And if you were wondering about border patrol....
"They had their passports cleared months in advance. There were multiple meetings with both border agencies Canada and the U.S.," said Cassidy.
Which saved these marathoners time in a competition where every second counts.

NEWPORT–After getting up 2-0 on goals by Betsy Dooley, the Harwood Highlanders were able to hold of a late surge by the Falcons to secure the 2-1 win in girl's soccer play on Wednesday.
"We were playing a division champ who can possess the ball better than we can, and I told the girls that you can get behind two to nothing and hope to comeback, as it was (we) came pretty close, but you can't give away forty minutes of a lot of 'kick-ball,' not against a possession team like them," said coach Peter Alexander.
ORLEANS-After falling to the Lake Region Ranger girls in Bradford a week ago, Oxbow made the adjustments they needed as they recorded a 2-0 win at Ranger Field. The Olympians connected on a goal in each half and made it stand up with mid-field dominance and a physical attitude. They pinned down high scoring Tyrah Urie holding the lineman to three shots on goal. Coach Brad Urie stated, "We learned a valuble lesson today. I think we may have taken them a little bit for granted and we're not good enough to just not play our hardest each time out. We will learn from this and be better for it."
NEWPORT–While rains held off, the wind was a blowin' as the Falcons took on the Seahorses in boy's soccer action on Tuesday.
Coming off of an important tie with Essex, North Country looked to keep the momentum going, but Burlington was able to squeak a couple of goals past Logan Fortier and the boys in blue came away with the 2-0 win.
DANVILLE–Using a balanced attack with multiple offensive outlets, Lake Region's Lady Rangers defeated Danville 3-1 on Monday afternoon.
"I'm really happy about getting offensive production from multiple players," said coach Brad Urie. "Danville is always up for their games with us, but we were beating people to the ball and we got a lot of good minutes from everyone on the field."
Back from her race with the cross-country team, Haley Kennedy opened the scoring for Lake Region, firing home a direct kick from forty yards out with 22:46 left to play in the first.
NEWPORT–Eighth grader Caleb DeLaBruere score his first career varsity goal with 22:00 left to play in the first half, and that is all UCA would need as they one the second game of the UCA/Craftsbury Academy doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.
"I was just really, really excited," said DeLaBruere about his tally. "I didn't think it was going to go in at first."
The win was a huge one to say the least as it puts UCA over .500 for the first time in a couple of years.
NEWPORT–The first match of the year between the UCA and Craftsbury Academy girls went down to the wire as it took 89:26 of play before Craftsbury's Meghan Brown was able to get one past UCA's Lydia Saaman in overtime to give the Chargers the win.
"I was really happy when the ball crossed the line and we won," said an enthusiastic Brown after the game. "I thought our team worked really well together and we moved to the ball a lot better today."
"It could have gone either way," said Craftsbury coach Ashley Maxfield. "It was just dumb luck that the ball went in for us first."
ORLEANS - Dennis Newland recorded a crucial second half save on a penalty kick and added an assist minutes later to help lift Lake Region to their fourth win of the season, a 2-0 victory over Enosburg.
As Lake Region clung to a 1-0 lead in the game's closing minutes, Newland, a junior goal keeper, blocked a crucial penalty kick and proceeded minutes later to launch a punt bound for fellow junior Alex Beauregard.
Beauregard pocketed the well-placed ball into the back of the net, sealing the Ranger's victory and a 4-1 start to the 2012 season.
RANDOLPH–Lake Region ran in the Three Rivers Invitational on Saturday, where the girls team finished in 3rd place.
Leading the Rangers was Emily Close, who finished in 4th place with a pace of 7:06 per mile.
Haley Kennedy, who took some time off of the soccer pitch to get back in the cross country game, came in 10th with a pace of 7:43 per mile.
Emily Millar ran a 7:55 pace for 12th place and Elise Morissette completed the team effort.Â
NEWPORT - Fueled by a goal and an assist from freshman Devinnie Davis, the North Country Union High School girls soccer team picked up a 3-2 victory over visiting Mount Mansfield Friday night.
The victory bumps the Falcons' record to 4-0, a solid start after facing Metro League foe Mount Mansfield twice already.
"We're really pleased with our start right now," head coach Jose Batista remarked after the win. "I'd have taken a split with a team like this, so taking two wins from (Mount Mansfield) is icing on the cake."
NEWPORT–Despite getting twelve shots on net, and a flurry of activity late, North Country's boys soccer team could not quite complete the comeback, falling to the Spaulding Crimson Tide 4-2 on Wednesday evening.
For the Falcons the problem seems to be that of consistency.
They look great for small stretches of time, ten minutes here, five minutes there, but they have been unable to put together the continuous amount of pressure needed to win games in the Metro division.
This lack of on-field continuity has assistant coach Tim Stanley trying to find the solution that best fits his team.

Emergency personnel assist at the scene of an early morning traffic accident Saturday on U.S. Highway 6. The single-vehicle crash claimed the life of a young woman from Wellington.
The July 31 accident occurred on the divided highway near Pinnacle Canyon Academy at 6:02 a.m. Cassie Higginbotham, age 21, died when the Chevrolet Blazer she was driving toward Price reportedly rolled in the median. No passengers were traveling inside the SUV with the victim.
The accident spread debris down the divider for a long distance. It appeared to investigators at the scene that the vehicle had gone off the right side of the road a considerable distance from where the rollover happened. When the vehicle drifted off the road, the driver apparently over corrected and went into the median.
When law enforcement authorities arrived at the scene, the officers reportedly found Higginbotham trapped inside the vehicle. The Blazer had come to rest on its top and the victim had to be extricated from the vehicle by the Price City Fire Department.
Higginbotham was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Utah Highway Patrol has not determined what caused the fatal crash. But investigators suspect the driver may have fallen asleep or was distracted when the accident occurred.
The victim was purportedly not wearing safety restraints at the time of the crash.

The county planning and zoning commission conducted a special meeting on Aug, 11 to recommend a conditional use permit to allow OSO Oil and Gas to install an a mine treatment plant at the company's existing facility.
Mike Griffith of OSO indicated at the meeting that the company has been collecting methane from the Aberdeen mine and is purifying it to sell.
The company has been shipping what it extracts to a facility that can't handle the volume and thus would like to install the new treatment plant at Emma Park processing facility.
"The plant will vent nitrogen into the atmosphere and the H2S will be processed so that its no longer H2S," said Griffith.
A second permit request involving a gravel pit on Old Wellington Road from Scamp Excavation was tabled until Aug. 18. The pit is expected to operate for about six to eight months and would take 50,000 yard of gravel away.
The item was tabled because the location is in the middle of a residential area and could possibly cause problems with residents.
The board also approved an extension for the final approval for the Scofield Shores Condominium project.
The development project is located near the Scofield Reservoir.
According to the public hearing draft the project is intended to build new condominiums near the reservoir, but many specifications and other concerns are still under consideration.
For further detains on the project, local residents with Internet access may visit the Carbon County website.

Comments about Horny Toad Oblique V Dress (Women's):
I loved this dress so much I got it in a second color. It is extremely comfortable, flattering and although it seems a little plain when you first put it on, it looks GREAT with cute boots and scarf so it's super easy to dress it up. It's rare for me to be able to wear things that are low cut (I am small chested and most things are really baggy up top), but this dress fits perfect and actually manages to be flattering. The fabric is thinnish and might not be warm enough for some people, but I am on my feet a lot at work so it is perfect for me. I wear it with leggings and a scarf if I want to be a bit warmer. I am 5'6'' 125lbs, 34A, lean/sporty build and the XS fits me perfectly. I highly recommend this dress!!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
I am 5'2" 125 pounds with a muscular build. The xs was the right size for me. The fit was flattering, but fairly loose in the mid-section. Since I'm short, the top was almost too low to wear to work, but I could have done it. I really wanted to like this dress, however, the inset at the bust was crooked. I would have expected it to go straight across my chest, but it angled up to one side. It looked awkward. I suspect it was just a defect in this particular dress, but I returned it and I guess I didn't love it enough to try to find another one.

Fundamentals. If there's one thing that can be said about RSL's 3-0 win over San Jose on Saturday, it's that the fundamentals were there, and all three goals scored that day can be attributed to proper attention to those.
Finishing: Three goals were scored from eight on-target shots — a conversion rate of about 38 percent. On the season, we've averaged 22 percent conversion; clearly, this is an improvement. There was a good deal of talk last week about finishing and the fact that it needed improvement, and this was a good starting point for marked improvement. This sort of rate will need to be sustained over time.
One player who deserves a good deal of credit for improvement in finishing is Robbie Findley, whose well-taken shot from the left flank saw him with his first non-poached goal of the season. That isn't to say that there's a problem with poached goals, but finishing from a variety of positions is important. Javier Morales, too, deserves credit for his well-taken finish, and there's so much to be said about Ned Grabavoy's goalscoring exploits this season that it's difficult to start.
Defending: San Jose may be underperforming thus far this season, but attributing RSL's success to that fact belies the defensive effort involved. It was an interception by Tony Beltran that fell to Javier Morales that set in motion the first goal. The second goal came about after a long pass was won by Nat Borchers, and Tony Beltran set the movement in motion with a pass won fantastically well by Robbie Findley. A good combination from the ever-aware pair of Javier Morales and Ned Grabavoy to pick up possession after a heavy touch, starting the run that led to Findley's goal.
All three moments saw RSL win the ball at the edge of the defensive half and move forward dangerously, putting San Jose on the back foot. It's yet another reminder that sometimes, creating chances is down to picking up the ball and moving forward in numbers.
Counterattacking play: It's hard to separate the counterattack from defense. It's perhaps the beautiful intermingling of defense and attack — the thing that ties the two together and makes the game really tick. All three goals were scored from the counter.
Three passes took place before the first goal, and five passes led to the second and third goals. The first and third both came about as a result of rebounds from the defense, and they can be in part attributed to the fact that they were very much on the back foot. This is what the counterattack brings, and RSL capitalized on it well.

San Jose Earthquakes are back in town for the first time since they knocked Real Salt Lake out of the Western Conference lead in June 2012, but this time, the visitors are struggling to find even the faintest of footing.
Shots fired: Real Salt Lake are leading the league in shots taken and shots on goal, and while that's nice, it's interesting that San Jose is not far behind in either metric. They've taken 10 fewer shots, so one has to wonder why they haven't been scoring. Indeed, it would be worrying if Jason Kreis wasn't paying attention to that fact — though one should be sure he is. There's a palpable feeling that San Jose are dangerous — one needs only look at shot charts to see why. This necessitates the defense protects Nick Rimando as capably as possible.
Speaking of defense, deciding between Kwame Watson-Siriboe and Carlos Salcedo for the partnership with Nat Borchers can't be easy. After 120 minutes on Tuesday and 90 minutes on Saturday, Carlos Salcedo might miss out. That's simply a lot of time out there, and he's worked hard the entire time. But he has acquitted himself well in the early days of the season, and Jason Kreis has shown a penchant for retaining players in form. With Chris Schuler likely to miss out, the decision comes down to today and how well the two recovered from a grueling Open Cup match.
Recovery will be a big consideration for Kreis everywhere on the pitch. Kyle Beckerman, Javier Morales and Carlos Salcedo all played full minutes in both recent matches, and some rotation might necessarily take place. Sebastian Velasquez, Luis Gil, and perhaps some faces less often seen could be in line for minutes. But once again, inconsistency in play is a natural extension of inconsistent lineups.
Lineup concerns are one thing, but considering RSL's relative success despite those inconsistencies, there's not much reason for grave concern. The rotation might even be a good thing for those players who haven't seen as much time — but who exactly that might be is up for debate.
Less-used players might end up with time. Enzo Martinez and David Viana haven't played any matches yet in 2013 (and Enzo not at all), Khari Stephenson has only started a third of the matches he's played in, and Kwame Watson-Siriboe has played in only a handful of matches. Should some of the players with less experience play against San Jose, they'll have to be extra aware — especially considering that San Jose's not afraid to shoot.

Real Salt Lake finds themselves at a bit of a crossroads for Saturday's match against Chicago Fire, and with that, coach Jason Kreis is forced into making some less-than-easy decisions.
Decision: With Chris Schuler set to miss out, Jason Kreis has a big decision on his hands: Does Carlos Salcedo, the young, relatively un-tested center back, start in his place, as he did against Chivas USA? Or does he opt for Kwame Watson-Siriboe, who has more experience but was suspended on Sunday? Salcedo is a solid defender despite his age, and he's showed well in his two full matches — well enough that handing him a start doesn't seem a particularly risky maneuver, and one which could well pay dividends in both the long and short term.
Decision: Alvaro Saborio has been training, but does that mean he's in line for a start? Devon Sandoval has proven a fine backup considering his relative inexperience and allows for a bit less impetus in bringing Saborio back into the fold. If precautions need to be taken, Kreis can rest a bit easier knowing Sandoval can step in.
Decision: Does RSL play with the typically high-line defense often seen at home? RSL's passing has been a bit more wayward than in 2012, and perhaps naturally so considering the more attacking bent of the midfield. This can be slightly problematic when playing with your defenders high up the pitch, as simple mistakes can lead to clear opportunities on goal. (For further reference, please see Chivas USA defending, May 19) With Salcedo in the mix, RSL would have a quick center back to partner Borchers.
Decision: With the US Open Cup home match against the Atlanta Silverbacks approaching on Tuesday, Kreis will be forced to think about rotation and approach. Chicago Fire are an opponent that might be tempting to rest players against. Winning in the Cup is a stated priority for the club, particularly as it paves a road back to CONCACAF Champions League, and ensuring that some players are available for it — or at least doing our best to do so — could weigh in the decision-making process.
Decision: Even with rotation taken into consideration, a question of who sits on the bench remains. It's a question that will plague Kreis for the remainder of the season: Who is the central backup? Who sits ready to enter midfield? Which strikers have done enough to make the bench? While the question is difficult now, it will only get more difficult as fitness improves.

Four goals for Real Salt Lake in the most open match of the season speaks well of the performance on the night, but the 4-1 scoreline over Chivas USA ignores the task facing the defense on Sunday night — as well as a tactical shift that changed the game in the second half.
Wide open: Defense steps up
The first half and much of the second half against Chivas USA last night saw Real Salt Lake playing in perhaps the most open match they've seen all season. Chances were flying back and forth, and by and large, RSL had the better of the opportunities. But some points of frustration will inevitably emerge the very back-and-forth nature of the match and the fact that it took going up 3-1 for a win to look genuinely secure.
The defense deserves real recognition for the manner in which they dealt with the Chivas attack, with Nick Rimando particularly earning plaudits for two reaction saves in the second half. But Chris Wingert, Carlos Salcedo, Nat Borchers, and Tony Beltran all stepped up to the challenge well and compensated for a more attacking mentality from RSL.
Findley on: Dynamic changes
When Robbie Findley came into the match, Chivas USA had just started to pick their heads up and respond to the challenge in front of them. With Plata and Sandoval both looking a bit tired, the home side was controlling play more readily and unafraid to push players forward in search of an equalizer. Findley's arrival on the scene saw him pushing ahead of a high line defense, with through balls and passes over the top being played into him.
With Findley screaming past the defense, they attempted to adapt and were forced back into their earlier look that had seen them concede two goals. It wouldn't be inaccurate to say that he changed the dynamic of the match. Now, that's not to say that he shouldn't have scored once, twice or maybe even three times, but when his impact is so palpable otherwise, a little forgiveness is in order.
Wingert up: Interception machine
When Chris Schuler earlier this season picked up 8 interceptions, I batted my eyes a bit with surprise. But after turning to the chalkboards last night, I could scarcely believe my eyes: Chris Wingert, who I'd already thought had a very good match, made 17 interceptions. That means that every five minutes or so, Wingert stepped into the line of a pass and regained possession for RSL. That's no small feat.
Those moments can be somewhat attributed to a poor Chivas side, but it's one thing to be poor and another to be made to look so. Had Wingert played more passively and not stepped into passing lanes, it would have been an entirely different game. Given Chivas had 18 shots — though only six on-target — allowing more opportunities would have been, at best, regrettable.

Rather than harping on about the things that went wrong in RSL's 3-2 loss at Montreal on Saturday — and there certainly were a few — it might be more interesting and productive to talk about some of the things that went right and how they contrast with some problems.
Early attack: RSL controls the match
The mentality was right from the outset of the match, and an early goal — albeit an own-goal scored by an Impact player — speaks to that. But more tellingly, In the first 30 minutes of the match, RSL's central defenders rarely touched the ball, with Chris Schuler and Kwame Watson-Siriboe attempting only six passes in the defensive half (only one one went astray.) Lovel Palmer and Chris Wingert were both involved, and a cross from Palmer forced the early Matteo Ferrari own-goal.
Indeed, most of Kyle Beckerman's touches came further up the pitch, and Ned Grabavoy played almost as a left-sided attacking midfielder, Sebastian Velasquez a central one, and Javier Morales as the roving attacking midfielder. It brought Morales some success, completing three passes leading directly to shots, and it led to some dangerous opportunities for Olmes Garcia and Devon Sandoval.
The match wears on: Shifts define things
Velasquez took a more right-sided approach, but struggled to get as involved as he was in the first 20 minutes of the match. Beckerman continued stepping further forward, but he was hardly seen in the final 20 minutes of the match. Morales remained vitally involved throughout and covered perhaps more ground than any other RSL player on the pitch — an indication that age and injury hasn't hurt his mobility, even if he's not quite as quick as he was in his late 20's.
Possession from this point forward flowed through Javier Morales, but the players around him did much work to afford him space. Ned Grabavoy controlled the left flank (22/22 in passing) alongside Chris Wingert, while Kyle Beckerman proved an incredible positive influence, allowing RSL to build play from the back.
After the comeback: Morales bright
As the match wore on, RSL's players struggled for involvement. After going 2-1 up in the 77th minute, key members of Real Salt Lake were kept roundly off the ball. Morales remained involved as ever, but excepting him, the nine outfield players combined for 27 passes with about 66 percent accuracy. Morales completed 10 of his 14 passes during that same period. Despite the problems facing the side, it's clear that RSL's playmaker has as much of a knack for controlling play and possession as ever.

Jason Kreis will have a series of questions on his mind tonight as he prepares his side for a match against Montreal Impact. They all revolve around selection. We'll look at three of these and attempt to answer whether he should look at continuity or change, and what exactly the tactical implications are for each.
Who starts up front: Joao Plata or Olmes Garcia? It's certainly possible that both will start, but Devon Sandoval presents a tactical option neither Garcia nor Plata fulfill. He's scored his first goal, too, and he'll be hopeful to push on. Plata offers more guile on the ball and a better cross, but Garcia is going to push forward more and get into the box. His influence has been undeniable every time he's been on the pitch. While starting Garcia would mean losing a little continuity, the rewards outweigh the risks. At any rate, Plata could make a good impact sub if necessary. Best option: change, Garcia for Plata.
Who starts in midfield: Luis Gil or Sebastian Velasquez? Luis Gil has had some fantastic moments in 2013, and those two goals of his are good indicators of that. But he's also had some struggles, some of which are attributed to a lingering ankle injury. The injury is apparently not so bad as to necessitate his exclusion from the side, so it would seem the prognosis is such that playing through it would be the best option. Sebastian Velasquez has had some great moments on the ball, but he's still yet to find his first goal — although his parried shot on Wednesday saw a goal eventually scored. With Gil still in the side, we retain consistency and allow him more time to get back to his best. We also get a potent option in front of goal. With Velasquez in the side, we get a player who runs non-stop when he's on the pitch, fights for every ball, and has an uncanny knack for keeping possession. Gil is undeniably more direct as a player, and that affects his passing rates. Best option: continuity, Velasquez on the bench for an early second-half sub.
Who starts in back? Carlos Salcedo or Kwame Watson-Siriboe? Carlos Salcedo has had his red card rescinded and is eligible to play, making this an option at all. Kwame Watson-Siriboe has traveled to Montreal for the match after becoming a father recently. The weighing pan would seem to tip slightly toward Salcedo in this regard, as he's been training fully for the last week, but Watson-Siriboe is a more experienced defender with more playing time in the system — although the two joined at around the same time last year. This is probably the hardest question of the three facing Kreis. Salcedo proved himself capable on Wednesday and did nothing to deserve being dropped, but the nature of the game means he could step to the side while the more experienced player starts. But at the same time, Kreis let Palmer continue after Wingert came back from injury — until he had a poor match — and that speaks to a willingness to give new players a chance. Best option: Salcedo continues, Watson-Siriboe on the bench.

Real Salt Lake's late 2-1 win over New England on Wednesday and the drama involved boils down to three things: Attention to rebounds, substitutes, and a bit of defensive mayhem near the end that could have cost RSL a win.
The goals
If ever there was a match that illustrated the importance of following up on the shots of your teammates, it was this one. It's difficult to recall the number of times a shot was spilled by the goalkeeper, but it's easy to recount the two that saw goals. The first came after a rebound from a Sebastian Velasquez shot from the left side of the box, and it was a fine bit of skill in buildup that led to it. Devon Sandoval proved once again his ability to be in the right spot at the right time, and this time, his saw the back of the net.
The second came after a rebound from a Kyle Beckerman shot from distance, and my word — it was a fantastic shot. But fantastic or not, the rebound fell back to the defenders in the box, and Olmes Garcia wasted no time beating a defender to it and finishing desperately at the near post with a trickling shot. Neither goal was beautiful, but both were the product of hard work and a dedication to seeing out the play.
The subs
The first substitution of the match is the one that is always most telling: Sebastian Velasquez, in for Luis Gil, added the ability to maintain possession under the worst circumstances. In the process, he helped to change the dynamic of the match in the second half. He won free kicks in good positions and, importantly, got the shot off that rebounded to Devon Sandoval. Also a vital substitution was, of course, Olmes Garcia, who scored a fine goal and forced defenders to think about the match in a different way.
Those are inevitably the best substitutions a side can make: those that force a change in approach. Olmes Garcia always does just that, even when he doesn't score. Sebastian Velasquez, too, changed the approach of defenders, who now had to worry more keenly about the midfield keeping possession after being tackled.
The penalty
It's hard tactically to account for poor decision making on the part of referees, but it's rather easy to account for clearances in dangerous areas. In the build-up to the late, late penalty decision, RSL failed to deal with a number of balls from New England, and as a result, a dangerous opportunity presented itself. Carlos Salcedo and Tony Beltran ended up getting mixed in with a group of Revs and the developing play invoked a decision from the referee, albeit an incorrect one. Had the ball been cleared earlier, there wouldn't have been an issue with which to deal.
Clearances weren't problematic after the penalty, though, and the awareness of Kyle Beckerman deserves all available plaudits alongside those of Nick Rimando. The save was good, and Rimando's uncanny knack for those even better, but Beckerman stepped in at the right moment and made no mistake with his clearance, preventing a clear opportunity for onrushing attackers.

Defensive questions reign ahead of today's match against New England Revolution, and with Nat Borchers having taken ill, those questions are sure to be more poignant and pressing.
Defensive integration
We're likely to see Chris Wingert out there again, and there's something refreshing about that. Wingert is, as we know by now, an important defensive piece. While he may not be the most attacking full back in the league — we probably have that piece available, too, with Abdoulie Mansally — he brings organization and positional awareness to the side. With a more attacking midfield group this season, Wingert's calming presence is helpful. We saw the very palpable benefits of his presence on Saturday, and if he plays again, we'll be in a strong position.
With news that Nat Borchers could be out for the match with illness, Wingert's presence could be essential. He'd be a stabilizing presence at the back — and with a young center back likely to start, that could be the difference between conceding a handful and keeping a clean sheet.
Central choices
The question then turns to who starts at the back alongside Chris Schuler: The most immediate option is Kwame Watson-Siriboe, but given that he's a new father as of Friday, there's a thought that he may be unavailable. Watson-Siriboe presents himself as a player similar to Borchers, though he's not to that level. He's as capable athletically as anyone, and he can step into the right positions to win the ball. Perhaps more importantly, he's very good in the air, and against a New England side that's still unsure what their attacking style looks like, that could be essential.
Carlos Salcedo, who was handed his debut on Saturday, has a chance as well. The young academy graduate a bit more of an unknown quantity, but he's been impressive for RSL's reserves and is an immaculate worker. He cuts an aggressive figure, and though he's inexperienced, he wouldn't necessarily be out of his depth in the lineup. Again, though, he presents plenty of unknowns and has a lot to prove. Interestingly, Salcedo is more likely to cary the ball out of defense when the options are open, and he's very good in the pass. This gives us a look we haven't really seen — both Schuler and Borchers are capable, but more frequently they pass the ball off to a full back or to Kyle Beckerman.
Chris Wingert could also move centrally, which he did at times last year with some success. He played centrally frequently early in his career, but he's been a full back with us for long enough that it's easy to forget that. He's not a perfect option, but you know what you get with Wingert in the middle. More pressingly, missing him at left back could be troubling.

Two goals built on counterattacking play against Vancouver Whitecaps display an understanding between the pieces of the side — a blurring of the lines, if you will.
The power of counterattacking
When RSL and Fabian Espindola split, so too did the majority of our counterattacking style: He was always ready to burst when an opportunity was presented. Robbie Findley and Joao Plata are both assumed to bring that back a bit, and we have every reason to think that they could. Saturday is a good example.
But while Plata was vitally involved in both goals as the man who made the final pass, the contributions of the attacking midfielders can't be forgotten. For the first, Luis Gil has embarked on a nearly 100-yard run before scoring the goal. This long of a run speaks incredibly well of Gil's physical attributes, but it also speaks to his ability to spot a chance developing well before it starts to develop. On the second, Javier Morales makes his run from the middle of the park.
Long runs from midfielders serve to disrupt the defense, as even in a zonal marking system, their markers are more likely to simply lose track of the player and desperately try to recover, or open gaps in the midfield, leaving their marker for another and setting out a cascading reaction.
The power of foresight
It wasn't even necessarily the skill sets of Gil and Morales that made their goals possible, but rather their ability to spot potential holes and gaps in the defense. It's not a clear-cut process, of course, and there's always a pretty good chance nothing will come of it. There's a simple beauty in this: It's the dedication to getting into these dangerous positions, even if it comes to naught, that sets the clever players apart from those who simply find themselves in good positions and score as a result.
Before the match, I touched on the disruptive factor Devon Sandoval provides, but it's arguably more important that the midfielders are disrupting things by simply not being where defenders expect them. It's not necessarily always a long, darting run that does it — sometimes it's just the quick sidestep, the exchanging and rotation of positions, or not making a run where one is expected.
The power of service
The difficulty here is in teammates knowing what a player intends: Those clever runs are nothing without service that's built on an understanding. Joao Plata has excelled with this, and one has to think that a consistent tactical approach helps in this regard. Rather than shifting players around every match and attempting to control each game as an individual entity, the Kreis diamond treats each match as a part of a larger whole. The specifics may change every 90 minutes or even more frequently, but the development of that understanding is a process that takes time, and it's got to come in competitive matches.
And as Saturday proved, it's not just the attacking players that need this: Nick Rimando's assist was ridden with foresight, and his long thrown pass — as immaculate as it was — would've been nothing if he hadn't been aware of the chance building.

Study of Pharmacokinetics in HIV-infected Women
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Women represent an increasing proportion of HIV cases globally and in Canada, yet are underrepresented in clinic trials. It is therefore critical to conduct this study on antiretroviral (ARV) pharmacokinetics (PK) in women to obtain additional information on ARV drug levels in women and their relation to adverse events (AEs).
The hypothesis for this study is three-fold:
- that the mean drug levels (Cmin and Cmax) of ARVs will be significantly higher in our female population as compared to the mean drug levels in the historical HIV population (which is primarily men)
- that ARV drug levels, particularly Cmin, are associated with body weight in women
- that higher ARV drug levels, particularly Cmax, are associated with higher frequency and severity of AEs.
The objectives of this study are as follows:
Primary objectives:
- To demonstrate that levels of Protease Inhibitors (PIs) and Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs) are significantly higher in our female population as compared to the mean drug levels in the historical general population (which is primarily men).
- To determine the association between PI and NNRTI minimum concentration (Cmin) and body weight in our female population.
Secondary objectives
- To determine the association between maximum concentration (Cmax) and the frequency and severity of AEs as measured by the proportion of patients with grade 2 or higher laboratory or clinical AEs and the Symptom Index Score in women.
- To determine the association between ARV drug levels and age, race, height, body mass index, adherence, hormonal levels and therapy, menstruation history, duration of HIV infection, duration on ARV therapy, baseline viral load, baseline CD4 count, present CD4 count, hepatitis B or C infection, class of ARVs, presence of ritonavir and other medications.

By Marty on 7/11/2015 Marty would recommend this product to a friend By far the best carbon I have ever used! You get what you pay for. Use in 3 different aquariums By Jerry on 7/9/2015 Jerry would recommend this product to a friend I use this in my 200, 55 and 6 gal Pico. The first two are in BRS reactors and the last in a nylon stocking located it in the hang on filter. This is a nice finishing touch toward the goal of clear water. It lives up to the hype By Shawn on 7/4/2015 Shawn would recommend this product to a friend I did the white bucket challenge & this stuff is as advertised. Amazing product. A bit pricey but worth the extra pennies. Great product! By MrsWoz on 7/2/2015 MrsWoz would recommend this product to a friend I just put this in my reactor a few days ago, but it seems to be working well! The video was very helpful, too :) BRS Bulk Premium ROX 0.8 Aquarium Carbon i WILL NEVER USE ANYTHING ELSE By wind&reef on 6/27/2015 wind&reef would recommend this product to a friend After watching. A video from BRS. about how to tell if your water is truly clear or not , I showed a friend the test a couple gallons of tank water in a WHITE. five gallon bucket . It was easy too see his water had a yellow tinge to it . I have him a co tau at of BRS rox 0.8 carbon and a media bag that was ace in the custom caddy in the back of his tank ...a few days latter I stopped bye ....wow the water Was hi Gin clear and passed the bucket test . stunning results and there are many more benefits , granted a carbon reactor is the best way but this process worked . love this stuff and it is all I will ever use on my tanks . good stuff, but takes a while to settle By Charles on 6/27/2015 Charles would recommend this product to a friend This is very high quality carbon. One of the best. My only complaint is that it takes longer to settle in my media reactor than many others. What I now do it to take the water I just removed from my tank during a water change and with a small pump, run that water for a few minutes through my media reactor. It gets all the fines out and the air too. If your water is dirty, you probably don't wan't to do this since it might have an impact on the carbon. My nitrates and nitrites are pretty much 0 so I have had no problem. Happy customer By Mrod on 6/27/2015 Mrod would recommend this product to a friend Works great and has little dust. I run it passively in a high flow area with good results . I have now found my go to carbon! Best carbon By discus dave on 6/12/2015 discus dave would recommend this product to a friend I filled my BRS single reactor with this product and installed it on my 125 gallon discus tank. The water was crystal clear overnight. Much smaller particle carbon than I have ever experienced before. This will become my "go to" media for the reactor. Best Carbon By Jack on 6/11/2015 Jack would recommend this product to a friend Using in a very fine meshed filter bag and high flow area of my sump. Noticed a big diference in water color/clearity with in a few days. The only carbon I will use for my tank. By Chavinpat on 6/11/2015 Chavinpat would recommend this product to a friend I have been using this carbon for at least a year now with BRS reactor. It does not take long to rise with minimum dust. It helps keep my tank clear and odorless. Perfect By Steve on 6/11/2015 Steve would recommend this product to a friend BRS...so begins my love affair with carbon!I will never use any other type again!I run it I'm my BRS carbon reactor and the water is pristine! If using a filter sock... By Turf on 6/7/2015 Turf would recommend this product to a friend If you're using a filter sock make sure it's a very small mesh size. Best results if in a reactor chamber though.

An NBC story on the domestic use of drones carried the following headline: "Drones over America: How unmanned fliers are already helping cops."
The author of the "puff piece" begins by recounting the story of Rodney Brossart of North Dakota. From the first paragraph, it is easy to see which side NBC comes down on in the drone debate. From the article:
It was getting dark, and the sheriff of Nelson County, N.D., was in a standoff with a family of suspected cattle rustlers. They were armed, and the last thing anybody wanted was a shoot out.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which monitors police radio chatter, offered to help. Their Predator was flying back to its roost at the Grand Forks Air Force base and could provide aerial support. Did the sheriff want the assist?
"We were able to detect that one of the sons was sitting at the end of the driveway with a gun. We also knew that there were small children involved," Sheriff Kelly Janke told NBC News, remembering that tricky encounter in the early summer of 2011. "Someone would have gotten seriously injured if we had gone in on the farm that night." He decided to wait.
The next day, the drone gave them an edge again by helping them choose the safest moment to make a move. "We were able to surprise them … took them into custody," Janke said. They also collected six stolen cows.
Rodney Brossart, the arrested farmer, sued the state, in part because of the cop's use of a drone. But a district judge ruled that the Predator's service was not untoward.
The New American has covered this story since the beginning, and there are several problems with NBC's retelling of the events, problems that go beyond the merit of the charges against Brossart and his family.

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Item # TRY000Q
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Women's Road Bike Saddles we have in stock.
Terry Bicycles Falcon X Saddle - Women's $0.00
Maximize comfort
Terry Bicycles began its foray into women's saddle design with the Butterfly saddle in 1999. Since then it has continued to develop and design women's specific saddles with the input from female riders at all levels. The Falcon X Saddle is recommended for riders who are looking for more fore-aft comfort and speed.
Its measurements are slightly smaller than the Butterfly, with a width of 152mm and a length of 259mm. The 152mm paddle is wide enough to support your sit bones for all day riding comfort. It features an inverted v-wing which provides additional relief to pressure on the tailbone. This is especially important for women who may have shallower sit bones and feel more pressure on the soft tissue that is situated between them. To aid pressure relief, the Falcon was constructed with a full-length cut-away that is both wider and longer than the one designed on either the Butterfly or the FLX. The flat top with multi-density foam provides stiff support on top of the paddles and more forgiving, softer foam towards the nose to cushion soft tissue. This provides pressure relief for soft tissue. The saddle has also been designed so that it flexes, ever so slightly, which aids in protecting delicate areas from pressure sores. A slightly elevated rear allows riders a secure perch for power climbs.
The Falcon X saddle was constructed with manganese rails which are significantly lighter than steel. It is covered in durable Lorica and patent leather with pink and red Terry logos.
The Terry Bicycle's Falcon X Saddle is 259mm long by 152mm wide and weighs 245grams. It is available in Black or White.

This phone is duly noted as being the first ever Android phone without Google search - instead it has Yahoo search! This a big factor for a lot of people out there because usually with an Android phone you don't have a choice in the matter. Its Google or nothing. Believe it or not, a lot of people would rather use Yahoo! While the Motorola Backflip is not one of the more high-end phones like the Apple iPhone or the Blackberry, it still holds some pretty awesome attributes that make it one of the most bought phones of 2010. This is their 4th release for the US market and the fifth universal.
First off, this phone has a clam shell design all in its own respect. It's not the usual clam shell design that most other phones have because the keyboard is almost always visible whereas with other designs the QWERTY keyboard is usually hidden away. Also, this phone has the touch panel on the back of the phone rather than the front of the display and utilizes the back with a keyboard as well. For all of you Social Networking freaks, the Motorola Backflip also supports the ever popular Twitter and Facebook accounts as well.
These are two of the top networks in the world, even overrunning that of Myspace. For those of us that are looking for a unique design, but also want something super-lightweight and a nice picture resolution, the Motorola Backflip offers a mere 133 grams and 320x480 pixels which are pretty awesome stats for a cell phone of this stature. This is a nice phone for basic usage, but it is also spectacular for gaming, watching movies, listening to music, and talking to your friends using the unique QWERTY design option of the Motorola Backflip. As with most QWERTY enabled phones, this one does take some getting used to, but in the end it will be as natural as the air you breath!

Read: Meeting Between NHL and NHLPA is Over
6:03PM: Bill Daly just left the hotel according to Ryan Rishaug. On TSN Pierre LeBrun reportedly said that there is "zero optimism" on the NHL side.
Nick Cotsonika says that Daly and Batterman have left the hotel and he doesn't know if he will return tonight.
Daly is heading back to the NHL offices which is about a ten minute walk from the hotel.
Read: No Owners Are In Today's Negotiating Session With The NHLPA/Is Fehr To Blame?
5:36PM: Don and Steve Fehr, along with a group of players, are in the meeting with the NHL according to Chris Johnston.
5:26PM: Katie Strang says that the NHLPA still plans to make a proposal of some kind even though Gary Bettman isn't in the room. Only Bill Daly and lawyer Bob Batterman are in the meeting on the NHL side.
5:23PM: John Shannon says that Gary Bettman is NOT in the room for the NHL right now as they talk with the NHLPA.
5:05PM: Chris Johnston says that the meeting has started.
5:02PM: Former Ranger Matthew Barnaby sent out a tweet a few minutes ago saying that the only person who could up the situation the two sides are in is Donald Fehr and "we are headed down that road."
Nick Cotsonika tweets "Owners are furious with Fehr, yes. I think they also sense a number of players want to vote on what is on table."
4:52PM: In response to what McKenzie just said, Bruce Garrioch tweeted "That is not a good sign. Union had owners' attention. This is going nowhere fast."
4:49PM: According to Bob McKenzie, there will be no owners present when the NHL and NHLPA meet today as the owner/player meetings ended when the union requested that Donald Fehr be allowed back in.
He notes that some of the owners have gone home, Darren Dreger said that Larry Tanenbaum and Mark Chipman left, but some are sticking around.
John Shannon writes, "When Wed. ended the NHL made it known they were looking for answers. But you have to meet to get answers."
Shannon says that the NHL doesn't think mediation is necessary now because "There is nothing more to mediate."

I had a kernel panic about 2 years ago, and another one a few days ago. I haven't had any other problems besides minor software bugs, and I was able to harmlessly reboot after both. I've been told this can mean many bad hardware-related things. Could it just be something relatively harmless, since it doesn't really seem too persistent? Is it worth having it checked out?
The first time you get a kernel panic, it is a reminder to make sure you have a regular backup system in place.
Other than that, until you lose real work or have quite a few, there isn't a real concern other than annoyance.
When you notice a pattern or want practice troubleshooting, go for isolating why, but most users should just report the panic to Apple and reboot.
Yes, sometimes a kernel panic can indicate bad/damaged or incompatible hardware. The frequency with which you have them is probably not indicative of a major hardware problem (i.e. bad cable connected to MotherBoard from HDD, etc.), unless you notice physical conditions that seem to coincide (i.e. hottest day of the year, child pounding on desk, etc.), or while performing the same software related task (i.e. clearing caches). It could be as simple as having one system file corrupted that is not often used.
On the other hand, I have also seen this caused by having hardware just lose its connection slightly (i.e. an eSata ExpressCard slipping out just a little while in use on a 17-inch MacBook Pro).
Twice in two years is nothing. Computers run on electrical signals not 0 and 1. Yes, sometimes errors occur. 'Single-bit errors' may occur, but the hardware and your OS are smart enough to deal with them most of the time. However, sometimes, they can't and you get the kernel panic, indication of something serious went wrong, perhaps not possible to correct. Twice in 2 years doesn't necessarily mean faulty hardware, just random unlikely errors.
If you are so worried about, you can start inspecting your hardware. Most kernel panics I have encountered were due to bad RAM modules! Start by running a memory test and see what you get.
There's so much conflicting and confusing advice on the web about Kernel Panics - and very often no reason to take your machine in.
Read Apple's own support page, About Kernel Panics , and MacWorld's How To Troubleshoot a Kernel Panic. You'll be able to isolate the problem and from there, know what steps to take, many of which are quite simple.

yeah you can do more than one ip. so let's say I'm running a webserver on 192.168.1.1 and a mail server on 192.168.1.2 and i need to take the webserver down for a little while. i could have the mail server take 192.168.1.1 but keep it's 192.168.1.2 and just have a dummy webpage that explains it being down. this way i don't need another nic.
or it can be used to sniff someone elses traffic through a switch, but arpspoof is a cleaner method of doing this.

JAY-Kody Halikas had two first period goals and four different players had a goal apiece as the North Country Falcons defeated the Missisquoi Thunderbirds on Saturday night.
It was another penalty filled contest, the second in a row in Jay for the Falcons, as the home team racked up fourteen calls, including one five and three ten minute misconducts. MVU had nine penalties, with two being ten minute misconducts.
"We had some bright spots and we had some dark spots," coach Andrew Roy said when asked of his overall impression of the game.
The Falcons got off to great start in the game, spending the bulk of the first period inside the T-Bird end.
Just 2:58 in, Halikas got North Country on the board when Logan Fortier skated into the zone, went around the net and found Kody wide open in front of MVU goalie Nathan Muller.
Halikas took the pass and buried it to give the Falcons the 1-0 lead.
MVU tied the score four minutes later as Jack Raleigh was credited with the goal on a rebound play.
The tie lasted all of 1:22 as Halikas struck again on a rebound, swatting home Ross DeLaBruere's missed shot.
The next goal, which came a minute later could have been credited to either Adam Viens or Travis Tetreault, and it would be Tetreault getting the goal, but here is what happened.
Viens rushed into the zone fired off a shot that handcuffed Muller. The puck got past the goalie, and as Muller turned around it was not clear if he pushed it in the net, or if a diving Tetreault did, but Travis got the goal, and more importantly the 3-1 lead.
The Falcons continued to press, but they would score no more in the first. What they did do however is stay out of the box, which capped off a very good fifteen minutes of hockey.
"The first period showed what we can do," said Roy. "We let up a goal on a miscue, but otherwise played a very clean, solid and dominant period of hockey and it was a great start for us."
The Falcons started the second on the power-play, the back-end of a four minute man advantage that had closed out the first.
Nothing happened for NCU, although they did have some good puck movement in the MVU zone.
Now it was penalty time. When the period finally ended, the Falcons had amassed a total of thirty-seven minutes of penalty time.
Missisquoi would draw just one in the period.
Tough to compete when you are in the box that much, but compete they did.
First up was killing off a 5-3, which they did, but they could not kill the third penalty of the game, and Dylan Lafountain got the puck in the slot and went five hole of Chris Bronson.
Midway through the period, a MVU player went awkwardly into the boards after a some strange contact near the blue line.
The play seemed harmless enough, but the player, who will remain nameless, appeared to have hit his chin and he was out cold.
He would have to be eventually stretchered off by the EMT's. After speaking to one of them during intermission, the paramedic said she believes the player should make a full recovery.
Once the EMT's left he ice, Ryan O'Donnell who made the contact with the MVU skater, was gone for five and ten.
It was a prime chance for the Thunderbirds to get back into the game, but things went the other way, and North Country scored two short-handed goals to stretch the lead to 5-2.
Fortier was the first one to strike. He juked and jived his way through some T-Birds, and went five hole on Muller.
Then Ross batted home a rebound, to continue his hot scoring play as of late.
Said Ross on the reason for his success this season, "I am just getting the right bounces and I have two great linemates in Ryan and Kody."
North Country capped off a period of excellent penalty killing by stopping the second MVU 5-3 of the second.
There is a lot to be said about the North Country PK units on Saturday as their top defenseman spent a lot of time in the box. But it didn't matter who was on the ice as the team gelled as a whole to shut down the Thunderbirds in all but one of the man-down situations.
"We got more short-handed goals than we did power-play goals," said Roy. "We've got some talented kids out there and they know what to do in a lot of different situations and they killed off more than there share tonight."
In the third, North Country and MVU both spent a lot of time in the box, but that would be a non-factor in the scoring.
With 7:45 remaining, MVU scored for the final time when Donald Muller tipped home Morgan Rainville's shot.
NCU directed eleven shots on the visitor's net, but the only one that got through was an empty netter by Ryan Paul with 7.4 seconds left in the game.
With that goal, North Country finished the icing of the cake and it was over.
Just kidding, both teams managed to get calls against them after the goal, then it was over.
Besides earning the win, the Falcons got some more good news as Brody Jacobs made his long-awaited return to the ice, giving NCU that much needed fourth defenseman.
"It felt really good out there and to be back in general," said Jacobs, who despite missing so much time had a solid game on Saturday.
Said Roy on Jacob's return, "Brody played tremendous tonight. He played a very smart game, made some good decisions on the blueline and provided us with some depth and was a breath of fresh air."
Chris Bronson finished the game with 29 saves for the 7-1 Falcons and Nathan Muller stopped 28 for MVU, who is now 3-5.
Next up, the other Franklin County opponent on NCU's schedule, BFA St. Albans, as the team will make the trip over the mountain this Saturday for a semi-final rematch with the Bobwhites at 7:00.

Video: Not everyone buying into the Mega Millions hype
ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) -- Convenient stores are busy with customers buying lottery tickets for Tuesday's big drawing, but not everyone's into the hype.
"No, I don't play. I don't even watch it at all," says Will Buxton. He says he has no interest in spending money on the lottery. Not even when it's over $600 million.
WZZM 13 news found a lot of people who don't play. Each of them have a different reason why. Chris Gunlogson says, "You have better odds of getting struck by lightning twice."
Jack Pennell says, "You think you got tax problems now? Wait until that first year if you won the Mega Millions, that would be pretty bad."
"And it's the people that usually play the lottery, that play consistently every week, they win more," says Gunlogson.
Buxton says, "You know you have to trim the extra spending wherever, so I'm just conservative with my money."
