This study aims to determine whether levodopa, in combination with a high frequency training of (grammatical) rules, is effective in boosting learning success in healthy subjects and whether this kind of training in combination with levodopa improves reading and spelling abilities of patients with dyslexia.
Drug: Levodopa
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Dopaminergic Enhancement of Learning and Memory (LL_001, Project on Dyslexia)
- Boost in training success (percent correct) through levodopa as compared to placebo
- Boost in training success (reaction times) through levodopa as compared to placebo
- Increased performance on reading, spelling and writing tests in dyslexic patients treated with levodopa as compared to placebo
- Stability of improvements one month post training
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 2005
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|October 2015
Prior work by our group shows that d-amphetamine and the dopamine precursor levodopa markedly improve word learning success in healthy subjects. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial, we probe whether daily administration of levodopa, coupled with a training of grammatical rules, improves the training success in healthy adults as compared to placebo administration. In the second step of this study, patients with dyslexia will be trained with the identical protocol. We postulate that the combination of intensive training in language rules and levodopa improves the reading, writing, and spelling abilities of patients with dyslexia.

PRICE - Donald Alan Adams, age 81, passed away Jan. 23, 2013 in Price.
Don was born to Robert Lawrence and Esther Lambe Adams in Everett, Wash., on Dec. 13, 1931. On graduating from Garfield High School in Seattle, Don was awarded a scholarship to Telluride College in Pasadena, Calif. He later transferred to the University of Washington in Seattle, where he earned both a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree in Theatre. On Feb. 19, 1961, he married Pamela Roe in Longview, Wash., and they reared two living children, Wendy Elizabeth and Michael McKenna. One son, Timothy, was stillborn in 1969.
Don's academic career was interrupted when he served in the U.S. Navy, serving aboard the USS Whiteside and the USS Manatee. While he was completing his academic work, he was asked to serve in costume design and construction for the Portland Oregon Civic Theatre, and was appointed the first costume designer for the Seattle Repertory Theatre. On completion of his graduate work, he was appointed to the faculty of Western Washington University in Bellingham, Wash., later to the faculty of Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., and later, to the faculty of Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Wash.
In 1984, Don was hired as costume designer and professor of theatre at Southwest Missouri State University-now Missouri State University, in Springfield, MO. On leaving Missouri, Don was appointed to the theatre faculty at the College of Eastern Utah, now Utah State University-Eastern, where he continued to serve until his retirement in 1998.
As a theatre academic and professional, Don served as an actor, director, designer and professor. His work was always distinguished for excellent taste and execution, and his students remember him fondly for his personal encouragement. As a designer, Don also created many ecclesiastical projects in every community in which he lived for the Episcopal Church, including vestments, banners and palls.
Don is survived by his wife, Pamela, Price; a daughter, Wendy (Wes) Clare, Tehachapi, Calif; and a son, Michael (Michelle), Pierce, Colo; four beloved grandchildren, Stephanie, Warren, Hannah, and Erin Clare, Tehachapi, Calif; sister, Shirley Adams Johnson, North Glenn, Colo; and sister-in-law, Audrey Graham, Fresno, Calif.
Don's family extends a huge thank you to all who assisted in caring for him in his last days.
Memorial service will be held at Ascension St. Matthew's (522 Homestead Blvd.) in Price, Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 at 11 a.m. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome daily and may share memories of Don at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Don Adams Memorial Fund at Ascension St. Matthew's Church in Price.

Eczema Relief Body Creme
Eczema is no fun, and when it's present over a larger area of the body it can drive you to frustrated distraction.
Daily Replenishing Moisturizing Lotion
This is an excellent fragrance-free body lotion for dry to very dry skin.
Add to Faves?
Eucerin At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive and widely distributed; fragrance-free cleansers; some good body washes and body moisturizers; widely available.
Weaknesses: Anti-redness products that added questionable ingredients instead of increasing the anti-inflammatory agents; nothing for acne-prone skin; jar packaging; some standard body lotions that are OK for dry skin but "OK" isn't good enough.
This drugstore staple line claims to be dermatologist-preferred skin care, but any dermatologist who recommends this line in its entirety without reservation needs a crash course in what skin really needs to be protected and look its best.
There are some basic products that a dermatologist would want to consider, but Eucerin falls short in products to address acne. Further, their latest facial skincare products aren't keeping pace with what industry frontrunners are doing in an effort to create elegant, effective products. For example, serums from Olay, Neutrogena, and Aveeno have much more interesting formulations, while moisturizers from many other drugstore lines (including Nivea, which is owned by Eucerin parent company Beiersdorf) include a greater complement of antioxidants and ingredients that mimic the structure and function of healthy skin. Eucerin is making some strides here, though, which is an encouraging sign.
A major pro for this line is that all of the products are fragrance-free. Although that's helpful for all skin types, it certainly isn't compelling enough for dermatologists to green-light this line without cautions about which products to avoid.

Item Description
Title: Reindeer
Title / Supplied: Reindeer-steamboat
Source Document
Extent: 1 slide
Date Created: Undated
The Str. Reindeer, built at St. Albans in 1882 (181' x 27' x 9'), was the largest to navigate Otter Creek. This picture shows her at Vergennes in her trimmer and more youthful days, before the life of an Excursion boat made her sag in the middle. In the gay Nineties, it was a common sigh to see her staggering up and down the lake, her decks weighed down with crowds who often flocked to one side or the other giving her a careening look, her guards on one side almost at the water's edge and the paddlewheel on the opposite side fanning the air. She would then stop until the crew could restore equilibrium among passengers and boat. She sank at her dock in Burlington in 1902 from causes not known.

|I planned on summitting Spalding then going on to Gray Wolf, but when I arrived at Summit Lake the weather was terrible.
I hiked the ridge in mostly white-out conditions, with high winds and lots of snow and ice. When I got to the summit, I could not see Gray Wolf so I decided to summit that one another day.
There were three others following me, but I never ran into them and I did not see them on the way down, although their car was still at the trailhead.

|Route Climbed: Summit Ridge Route, Grade I, Class 2 Date Climbed: July 12, 2003
|I met up with my girlfriend in Denver for a little climbing. We decided to bag Evans as well as Mount Spalding via the Summit Ridge Route (Grade I, Class 2) from Summit Lake on the Mt. Evans Road. Obviously, we did not obey the 14'er 3000' foot rule on this climb, but taking the ridge line and bagging two peaks compensated in our efforts for lack of gain on the climb. I highly recommend this route as it affords gorgeous views and solitude sticking with class 2 climbing. The ridge from Summit Lake looks Class 3 but it is in fact Class 2 with a surprisingly well marked path. We left our vehicle at 10:00 AM and started up Spalding's flanks. Spalding's summit came quickly at around ~11:15 AM or so. We rounded the ridge line on to Mt Evans and made the summit around 1:30 PM. Our descent was down the scree slopes of Evans (normal route) and took another hour and half down to put us back to the car at around 3:00 PM. We summited both Spalding and Evans on Saturday, July 12, 2003.

East Carbon City has continued its discussion on the issue of the city building inspector. Currently, the county has informed the city that it needs to identify new buildings in need of inspection which it will inspect. However, the County does not want responcibility for old buildings as they are city's concern.
The office of the city building inspector has been a problem recently, because, while most small communities in the area rely on the county inspector, East Carbon City has fielded their own inspections up until now. Recently, however, licensing and personnel issues have created a liability problem that has the county concerned.
Since it is unclear at this point how the city will remedy the situation, there were a variety of suggestions from council members. Councilwoman Joyce Caviness was fine with the idea of having the county conduct commercial inspections, but wanted residential ones to stay under the city's control.
"My only concern is that if it's going to be $300 to inspect a closet remodel, no one's going to get anything inspected," said Councilman Dave Maggio.
The issue is still ongoing as further details need to be finalized with the county. In total, there are about 16 new permits that will fall under the county's responsibility for now.
Other pressing city business included a $284,000 budget overstatement that Councilman Andy Urbanik addressed. The money was listed as being included in the general funds, when, in fact, it belonged with the water treatment plant. Thus, the funds were moved. This financial news brought up another issue regarding seasonal employees because Mayor Orlando La Fontaine indicated that he would like to rehire three seasonal employees at minimum wage for the remaining fall season, or six additional weeks.
Councilwoman Darlene Kuhns questioned whether three people were needed, but as the amount of time was so short, it was determined that three would be necessary to complete tasks in preparation for the onset of winter.
Another problem the city faces in terms of city maintenance is an issue regarding drainage on Eighth West. When it rains, the street becomes flooded. Councilman Dave Avery reported that he has personally inspected the area.
"In my opinion (to fix Eighth West), it's going to be big and it's going to be costly," said Avery. "It's a disaster."
Mayor La Fontaine agreed that the area needs to fixed, because it will eventually become a liability for the city. Although he intends to create a firm plan to fix the area, he indicated that the city will need to locate funding. Councilman Maggio, who also inspected the area, said the city will have an engineering firm inspect the area and determine what needs to be done. He added that he was distressed that a telephone pole was in the way and that the company who owns it refused to move it.
"It's ridiculous. That pole is in the way and they won't move it. They act they've got something special out there," said Maggio.
Maggio also reported that the city's garbage transfer station is in need of a permanent solution. The council voted to have City Sanitation deal with it for the time being at a rate of $50 per load. He believes the city will need to find its own way to keep the station in order. Problems have plagued the station, because the city's roll-off truck has become decrypted and unsafe and the city has been unable to properly manage it.
"My only concern (with the City Sanitation deal) is that they're not going to escalate charges. I don't want to get into a sub-prime lending roll-off truck situation," said Maggio. "I want something in writing."
In conclusion, the city appointed two committees consisting of the mayor and two council members to look into issues relating to the new public safety building's electrical and structure problems. They will meet with Sunnyside City Council to consider a new way to organize the ambulance service to keep it in the area and not rely on the county ambulance. The city also approved a measure to fix the Animal Control truck window and approved $1,200 from a city aware, to go to making two picnic areas for the walking trail.

After hearing recommendation to raise water and sewer rates from financial advisers and auditors at two prior meetings, the Price River Water Improvement District board discussed the need for the increases on Tuesday.
In addition to raising rates, board members discussed a variety of options to curb expenses and increase revenues at the Sept. 5 meeting.
At the two prior meetings of the board, financial advisers and auditors presented the annual audit and a financial review of the district.
Both of the presentations suggested that, unless the board approved a rate increase, the district would be unable to meet its financial obligations in the long term.
Triggered by the recommendations from financial advisers three weeks ago, the board is looking at measures it can take to keep the district from operating in the red and to meet the financial obligations to various agencies with which the district has bonding agreements.
The first action which the board is considering was suggested by advisers, who recommended a stepped rate increase, with both sewer and water rates going up once before the end of 2006 and again at the start of 2008.
After hearing advice to raise rates, the board requested that the district staff prepare a rate increase proposal.
Jeff Richens, assistant district manager, presented a proposed rate increase for sewer.
The suggested increase affects all connects which are serviced by PRWID - whether directly, as in the case of unincorporated county areas near Price, Wellington and Helper, or indirectly, with a municipality acting as an agent between customers and the district.
Currently, residents in Wellington pay the lowest amount per hookup into PRWID sewer lines at $17.25, with $14.67 going to the district.
Helper residents pay $18.50, with $14.33 going to PRWID.
In Price, residents pay $22, with the district receiving $15.73 per connection.
Customers serviced directly by PRWID pay $25.50, all of which is collected by the district.
As the rates stand, the district collects more than $1.7 million in revenue from sewer customers.
The proposal presented to the board on Tuesday suggested raising all of the rates $3.25 before the end of the year.
In the proposal, Wellington's rates would go up to $20.50, Helper rates would go up to $21.75, with rates in Price rising to $25.50 and PRWID rates climbing to $28.75.
Beyond the initial rate increase, the staff recommended that an additional increase of $1.25 per connection be added in 2008.
The 2006 rate increase could generate as much as $78,000 before the end of the year, and would continue to generate funds into 2007.
With the second increase in 2008, the district would see revenues rise from their current level of $1.7 million to more than $2.1 million by the end of 2008, an 18 percent increase.
In the end, customers in Wellington would wind up paying $21.75 in sewer rates, 26.1 percent more than current rates.
Helper residents would see a 24.3 percent increase to $23, with a 20.5 percent increase to $26.50 in Price.
PRWID customers would see an increase to $30, a 17.6 percent increase.
District staff has yet to present a proposal to increase water rates, but that proposal will be part of the recommendation from staff, said Richens.
Raising rates is only part of the recommendation for the board to consider.
Richens presented a letter from the district's financial advisers, Lewis, Young Robertson & Burningham, which outlined a plan to consolidate its loans from the Utah Permanent Community Impact Board.
The letter explained that cause the district has multiple loans, with a significant total amount from the CIB, the district would see considerable savings if it consolidated its bonds.
At the same time, Richens pointed out that the rate increases proposed or in the works for sewer and water have been formulated with loan consolidation in mind. He explained that if the board chooses not to consolidate its bonds, rates will likely need to be increased further.
In looking at the bonds to consolidate, financial advisers looked at the 1993B and 1994B series bonds, two of the district's larger bonds. Combined, the two bonds represent more than $7 million of the district's $20 million of total debt. Tow other bonds could possibly be added to the consolidation of two more bonds established in 2000 and 2004, totaling more than $1.9 million.
In order to restructure the bonds, the district board would need to approve a new bond which would be used to pay off previously issued bonds. At the time the bond is issued, the CIB and the district can renegotiate the terms of the new loan, possibly lengthening the term of the loan and reducing annual payments.
The district would likely need to approve a rate increase before approaching the CIB regarding restructuring. The CIB generally requires that such steps be taken by government agencies prior to considering changes to the terms of a bond.
In restructuring the bonds, the district is looking at a cost for refunding the bonds estimated between $55,000 and $65,000.
While the district could look into restructuring other bonds, the restructuring would carry similar costs, and any savings would be marginal at best.
Bond consolidation alone is not enough to set the district on a fiscally conservative course. The letter from financial advisers stated, "[Restructuring the bonds] along with user rate increases ... would allow PRWID more flexibility in meeting debt service requirements and on-going maintenance and operational costs."
However, the bond restructuring and rate increase proposed by financial advisers and recommended by staff met with opposition from the board.
"I have a problem with raising rates without justification," said board member Karl Houskeeper, who was absent for the presentation from financial advisers three weeks ago.
At a previous meeting, financial advisers for the district siad that cutting operational costs would likely result in only nominal savings. Further, in spending time analyzing budgets and asking for a more detailed breakdown may results in increased costs to the district.
Still, Houskeeper insisted that a detailed breakdown of budgets be performed. He said he was uncomfortable voting for a rate increase before seeing if there were ways to cut operational costs.
Houskeeper also pointed out that there is no clear separation between sewer and water budgets. Specifically, the administration of the district, the fleet department and the maintenance department work in both the water and sewer areas, but no determination is made as to how much time or materials is used for each. With that information available, the board may discover that rates should be applied somewhat different from how it was proposed.
And while board members agreed that three of the five departments were not broken out into sewer and water, they also agreed that breaking those figures down would take months or years - time that the district may not have before it is forced to take action on rates.
District Manager Phil Palmer pointed out that the breakdown in the three departments which cross between sewer and water may vary from year to year. In some years, the district may do more with sewer. In others, it may do more with water.
Those variances would be represented in a breakdown of not only the sewer and water departments, but in the other three. Palmer noted that up to this point, the 2006 fiscal year is probably a good year to look at, since no major projects have distracted time and resources from one area or the other.
Richens pointed out that rate increases in the past few years have been only instituted when bonding required it. Keith Cox, who sits as chair of the board, noted that operational and maintenance costs have gone up in recent years, while no rate increases have been passed to cover increased costs in labor, insurance, fuel, steel, concrete and other expenses.
Board members also agreed that they should look at the budgets and see if there are areas that can be cut. By looking at the current budgets and determining where revenue is coming from and where that money is going, the board may have a better picture of the overall financial picture for the district.
"We had better be able to justify it," said board member Mike Dalpiaz. "We had better have it in black and white when the public is sitting there asking questions."
The board scheduled a work meeting to discuss the overall finances for the district. That meeting will be on Monday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. in the PRWID board room. At that meeting, board members said they hope to discover by how much and for how long it has been cutting into reserves to cover debt service and operational costs. Further, they hope to see how much is spent in each department and where cuts can be made.
"If we need a rate increase, we need to be educated, so we can educate the public," said board member Tom Matthews.

The big Apple announcements have been made, and Apple had a very busy day. In case you weren't in San Jose yesterday (or glued to Twitter), here is what was revealed about Apple's new releases: the iPad Mini, the new MacBook Pro, the new version of the Mac Mini and redesigned iMacs. Apple even handed over a fourth generation iPad.
iPad Mini
The iPad Mini is a 7-inch version of the new iPad.
- A screen that measures 7.9 inches diagonally with 4:3 aspect ratio that makes it looks like it has a bigger viewing area than it really does
- Total screen area of 29.6 square inches
- 23% thinner than the third generation iPad
- The same resolution as the original iPad and iPad 2, at 1,024 x 768 (this allows use of current apps since the smaller screen size will shrink them with no app redesign required)
- 163 pixels per inch
- A5 chip – the same processor used in the iPad 2 and the new iPod Touch.
- Front-facing FaceTime 720p camera, with a 5-megapixel camera in back
- A weight of 10.9 ounces (less than half the weight of the full-size iPad)
- 0.28 of an inch thickness
- The new Lightning connector that first appeared with the iPhone 5
- Color choices of black and white
- Smart covers shrunk to fit and in multiple colors including blue, green, pink and black
iPad mini pricing starts at $329 for the Wi-Fi-only version with 16GB capacity. Wi-Fi-only with more capacity are $429 for 32GB, and $529 for 64GB. Cellular versions run $459 for 16GB, $559 for 32 GB and $659 64GB. Higher capacities and 4G LTE options are also available.
Pre-orders begin Oct. 26. Wi-Fi devices ship Nov. 2. Cellular models arrive two weeks later. Reports say Apple has ordered 10 million iPad Minis from its suppliers to meet demand between now and the holiday season.
New MacBook Pro
The new MacBook Pro computer surprised many with its size.
- A 13-inch retina display
- Three-quarters of an inch thick
- Weighs in a full pound less than the 13″ MacBook Pro
- Screen resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 (higher resolution than the 27″ iMac)
- No optical drive, USB 3.0 and a full HDMI output
- Two Thunderbolt ports
Here are the three basic models of the new 13″ MacBook Pro Retina:
- 2.5 Ghz i5 with 128GB SSD and 8GB of RAM, $1699
- 2.5 Ghz i5 with 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM, $1999
- 2.9 Ghz i7 with 512 SSD and 8GB of RAM, $2199
The MacBook Pro has already begun to ship.
iPad 4
Apple also surprised many with the announcement of a slightly updated fourth-generation, full-sized iPad with a new, twice-as-fast processor.The design is basically the same with a few exceptions.
- The Lightning connector
- A6X system-on-a-chip
- Improved LTE support (adding Sprint to the Verizon and AT&T providers)
The iPad 4 pricing matches that of the new iPad.
Updated Mac Mini computer
Apple modernized its Mac Mini computer with new features and upgrades.
- Hardwear choices are dual or quad-core i5 or i7 processor, with up to 16GB of RAM
- Intel HD graphics 4000
- Bluetooth 4.0
- Either a 1TB HDD or 256GB SSD
The basic Mac Mini model starts at $599 for a 2.5Ghz dual-core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 500GB HDD. The updated Mac mini has already started to ship.
Updated iMac configuration
The iMac was last given a substantial update in 2009. The new version has some of the latest hardware in an unbelievably thin package.
- Configurations include the quad-core i5 or i7 Ivy Bridge processors and up to 32GB of RAM
- Ivy Bridge that provides connectivity with USB 3
- Drive choices - traditional hard drive, an SSD or Apple's new Fusion Drive (Apple technology that gives a hybrid SSD/traditional HD experience. The most used and disk-intensive apps load from the SSD but your media, movies and music can still exist on a traditional hard drive.)
Here is the pricing for the new iMac models:
- The 21.5″ iMac starts at $1299 for a 2.7 quad-core i5 with 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive.
- The 27″ iMac starts at $1799 for a quad core i5 with 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive.
- The SSD or Apple's new Fusion Drive are additional upgrades.
The 21.5″ iMac will go on sale in November. The 27″ iMac will go on sale in December.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
As high school baseball play starts its second half of region play, Jeff Cisneros begins working on the Helper Legion field in preparation for another season of play. This year the field sports a new scoreboard as a result of countless hours of beating the bushes for donations and funding from the restaurant tax board and the Kiwanis. The old scoreboard broke two seasons ago and it cost over $13,000 to replace it.
Bill Barrett, Bodec, Bill Campbell, Circle H LLC.,Codale Electric, Consol Energy, Geneva Rock, Helper City, Linn McCourt, MJ Trucking, Kevin Mortensen, Pacific Central Steel, Brent Passarella, Tom Paluso, Southwest Paint, Southwest Plumbing , Sutherlands, Tram Electric, Gabe Vlamakis and Dave Zaccaria were some of those that Cisneros enlisted to help with the scoreboard replacement.
The Helper American Legion team is a showcase for the local baseball talent in our area to get noticed by scouts and college teams. The Helper team is really a team that has players from Carbon, Emery, Grand and even San Juan counties as part of its make up. Price is also fielding a team again this season.
The Helper squad has had Cisneros leading the way for 15 seasons now. He knows what it takes to put a successful team on the field so the players can have a chance to be seen. Coaching itself is just a small part of his duties. Fund raising and field maintenance take up many hours of his time.
Each player who makes the team is expected to help find $300 dollars of sponsorship fees to help defray his portion of the expenses. Cisneros usually gives each player a name of a business or two to contact so they can purchase a sign that hangs out on the outfield fences. If they do that they have pretty much covered their obligation.
The expenses to play a 40 game schedule include fees to be part of the Salt Lake Valley League, $60 a game umpire fees for every game, uniform shirts for each player, chalk, balls, bats, insurance, hotel, gas and meals just to name a few.
The team also tries to have some money in reserve to pay for scholarships for some of its players when they want to attend showcase events to be seen by scouts and college coaches.
On Saturday the team is hosting a four person golf scramble to help raise funds for this season. They are still looking for teams to be involved.
In June they will invite eight teams in for a tournament for their second fund raising event of the season. This tournament will also benefit the entire community as the visiting teams will be staying for three days and filling motel rooms and buying food in the local restaurants
Cisneros has much work to do to get the field ready for opening day. He is hoping to secure some grants to start the process of upgrading the field since it has been eight years since many of the fences and structures have had any real attention given to them.
Try outs this year will be May 25 th in Helper and anyone wanting to participate should contact Cisneros for more information.

Can anybody please explain me what the anti-aliasing is. Every game has it in there graph settings lately, but I have no idea what the heck it does.
Can anybody please explain me what the anti-aliasing is. Every game has it in there graph settings lately, but I have no idea what the heck it does.
Anti-Aliasing is to make lines appear more straight, like in paint if you make a diagonal-line it won't look straight. Anti-Aliasing makes it look straight.
If games are no-lifers, then are non-gamers yes-lifers?
The left one is an non-anti aliased line, the right one is an anti-aliased line. I zoomed in so you can see the difference more easily.
When it comes to images though, something being anti aliased can make quite a difference in quality. I've decreased an images size by about half, one with anti alias, the other without to show you the difference it can make in an image.
I'm not sure what one makes better performance though. I imagine, no anti-alias would make the game run faster performance wise because it doesn't generate as many pixels in transparencies and such to get a smoother effect.
its an eye candy
AA is one the biggest causers of lag. So does shadow. So make sure your pc eats those alive and you ll have no problem
Also remember... the higher the resolution, the less AA you need. In simple terms, it's like a filter that makes the lines look more "smooth," kinda like how you would shade something with your pencil when you sketch to make it look more natural. It's the same here, except to make the lines and curves seem less jagged.
There's no real need to go past 4x AA, though, IMO, especially when you're dealing with resolutions of 720p or higher.
Here's a video explaining video settings for games.

"We live in a very special time: the only time where we can observationally verify that we live at a very special time." -Lawrence Krauss
Yeah like Azn said, you don't really need it at high resolutions (unless the game is using low resolution textures). I never really care for it much myself, I'd rather have the extra frames than not see a couple very tiny jagged edges.

POTSDAM - A strong stand by the Clarkson University Lacrosse defense in the final minutes preserved a 13-12 victory for the Golden Knights over SUNY Oswego in non-league action at Hantz Turf Field on Wednesday afternoon.
The Golden Knights improved their record to 6-3 overall. The Green and Gold resume Liberty League play on Saturday when they travel to Schenectady to battle Union in a 5 p.m. contest.
Clarkson overcame a slow start to the second half against Oswego (6-2) and shut down the Lakers late in regulation to win its second straight game. Coming off two straight scores to make it a one-goal game at 13-12, Oswego controlled possession in the final two minutes, but the Knights did not allow the Lakers a shot on goal, and then sealed the win when sophomore defenseman J.D. St. Croix (Camillus, NY) forced an Oswego turnover with six seconds to play and picked up the ground ball to run out the clock.
After battling to a 1-1 first-quarter tie, the Knights seemed to take a comfortable 6-2 lead into the half. Oswego, however, rattled off five straight goals to start the second half to take a 7-6 lead with 1:47 remaining in the third quarter. Just seven seconds after the Lakers took the lead, however, sophomore Robert Linder (Marcellus, NY) answered back to tie the game, starting a three-goal Clarkson run.
Knotted at seven apiece to start the fourth quarter, The Knights went back on top with two quick goals by sophomores Corey Herrington (Camillus, NY) and Matthew Gold (Pittsford, NY) 28 seconds apart less than two minutes into the quarter to give the Green and Gold a 9-7 lead. Oswego outscored the Knights 5-4 down the stretch, but could not pull even.
Senior Brendon Shearin (Goffstown, NH), who scored three times in the opening 30 minutes, finished with a team-high four goals. Gold, who connected for the deciding goal with 6:33 remaining, giving Clarkson a 13-10 lead, tallied three goals and one assist. Linder also posted three goals. Senior Matt McCabe (Syracuse, NY), who recorded a game-high three assists, scored one goal along with Herrington and sophomore Mark Nortz (Lowville, NY).
Jimmy Gordon led the Oswego offense with four goals and two assists. Connor Khammar tallied three times for the Lakers, while Cody Hoose added two scores for the visitors.
Clarkson held a 35-24 shot advantage and controlled ground balls 30-25. Senior Ryan Cole (Orchard Park, NY) posted six saves, while Bryan Martin made nine stops in the Oswego net.
Sophomore Dylan Broomfield (Clinton, NY) was solid again on face offs, winning 14 while picking up a game-high 10 ground balls. St. Croix recorded six ground balls and caused three turnovers.
In Poughkeepie, the Clarkson University baseball team bounced back from a tough 2-1 extra-inning loss in the first game to post a 4-0 decision in the second against Liberty League rival Vassar on Wednesday.
In the opening game, Pete Roma picked up the win for Clarkson, pitching the first five innings and giving up only two hits while striking out six Brewers. Jarrod Mattingly walked one and alowed a hit in two innings of scoreless relief,
Senior Lawrence Flicker was tagged with the loss going three innings with four hits and two runs.
The Knights got the only run they would need in the top of the third where Kyle Henchey doubled home Bobby Derico. Greg Jasek came around to score on a passed ball in the fourth inning to make it 2-0 before sealing the win with a pair of runs in the sixth where David Wixted scored in front of a double-play and John Coleman scored on a throwing error.
In the opening game, the Knights finally broke through to gain the lead in the top of the seventh, but a run by Vassar in the bottom half of the inning forced extra frames and the host came away with the victory in 11 innings.
After a harmless top half of the first, Clarkson threatened in the next five innings with runners in scoring position each time, including three times with less than two outs. Without the benefit of a hit, the Knights broke through in the top of the seventh inning. Following a fly out, Scott Morrissey (Troy, NY) reached base on a walk and Wixted (Ballston Lake, NY) pushed Morrissey into scoring position after a dropped pop up. After a strikeout, Dan Lenney (Clifton Park, NY) walked to load the bases, and Tim Beninati (Schoharie, NY) gained a run batted in by walking.
The lead would be shortlived, however, as Vassar scored in the bottom half of the inning. A leadoff single and an error put men on first and third with no one out. A sacrifice fly from AJ Kim tied the game up and Clarkson was able to wiggle out of the jam. It wasnt until the 11th inning that the game finally concluded, as Dave Robbins hit a one-out single down the line to give Vassar a walk-off victory.
Senior Bryan Chudy (Goshen, NY) allowed just a single unearned run in six innings, striking out five and allowing five hits in that time. Jasek (Chittenango, NY) followed up with four innings of one-hit ball, whiffing three and walking none. Clarkson had eight hits in the game, with Wixted, Morrissey, Jasek, and Connor Martin (Baldwinsville, NY) each recording two.
Jeremy Vautour scored four goals and assisted on another as the Saints (6-3) defeated SUNY Plattsburgh in a non-league matchup under the light at Hall-Leet Field.
Davey Hovey, Mac Johnson, Tucker Garfield, Justin Ingram, Josh Robinson, Malcolm Lynch and Garrett Gagne also scored for SLU.
Brett McClelland and Nick Travers each produced two goals for the Cardinals (8-3). Tim Lawrence, Brendan Damm, Tom Duggan and Anthony Pafundi also scored for SUNY Plattsburgh.
The SUNY Canton mens lacrosse team saw their three-game winning streak come to an end on Wednesday as they lost to Mount Saint Marys College 17-6 at the RPI campus in Troy.
Sophomores Jason Thompson (Massena, N.Y.) and Taylor Caswell (Potsdam, N.Y.) led the Roos (4-4) with two goals apiece.
Freshman Zarrien Sloan (Waterloo, N.Y.) and senior Rob Gleason (Vestal, N.Y.) had one goal and one assist each, and junior Corey Spuck (Rochester, N.Y.) made 12 saves in goal.
Andrew Pullen led Mount Saint Marys with six goals, and Jake Robison added four goals and one assist.
The Roos return to action on April 13 when they play at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vt.
The single baseball game scheduled for Wednesday at Hamilton College was postoned. The game has been re-scheduled for Monday, April 25 at 4 p.m.

PROVIDENCE — A bill to legitimize same sex marriage, which both its sponsor and its most vehement opponent agreed was, "The most important piece of legislation (the House) will ever consider" passed the House of Representative on a 51-19 vote Thursday.
When Rep. Gordon Fox, the first openly gay man to be elected Speaker of the House, banged his gavel after the vote and declared "the act prevails," there were loud cheers, a standing ovation in the spectator galleries and sustained whooping and clapping that lasted for several minutes before Fox banged his gavel again to adjourn the session.
Fox, who took heat from the gay and progressive communities two years ago when he compromised a marriage equality bill down to allow civil unions, clearly reveled in the moment, joined in the dais by his longtime partner Marcus LaFond. Fox had promised at the beginning of this year's session to pass a same-sex marriage bill out of the House and over to the Senate by the end of January.
He beat that deadline by a full week.

Jessica Biel is rather stealthy. Every time we think we've got her pegged, she manages to completely surprise us, whether that's with a dynamite performance in Easy Virture or via her newly noteworthy personal style. On that note, we're pleased that the actress's recent spate of movies, including this summer's The A-Team, is giving us more opportunities to observe Biel's fashion proclivities and watch them evolve. While it's true that Biel's off-duty activities run on the sporty side and include impressive feats like climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise awareness for the global water crisis, her red carpet style has certainly taken a glamorous turn. Whether she's wearing a lace-accented Pucci dress or opting for a floral frock and a sharp blazer, Biel's chic sensibilities are the perfect topic for today's Style Spotlight.
One of the things we like best about Biel's fashion picks as of late is the way she can execute both less fancy and ultra-dressy iterations of the same fashion idea. For example, Biel stuck to a black-and-white palette for both the premiere of The A-Team and the MTV Movie Awards, but the results were dramatically different. For the former, she wore a silk and lace Emilio Pucci dress, which is from the Cannes VIP Capsule Collection that Creative Director Peter Dundas designed to support the fashion house's F/W 10 collection, Sergio Rossi Cachet Peep-Toe Platform Pumps ($690) in black satin, and Vhernier's Large Camuration Ring in turquoise and chalcedony ($8,000, 310.273.2444). Then for the awards show she opted for a short, pink bow-bedecked Giambatista Valli dress from the F/W 10 collection with a black suede pair of Pierre Hardy Peep-Toe Bejeweled Heels ($2925, 305.674.7899). In addition to the colors, both dresses have transparent elementsÂ--the sheer blouse, the black laceÂ--which connect the two looks in another subtle way.
Biel also showed two ways to wear feminine print frocks with her selections for the first screening of Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro at the Tribeca Grand Hotel earlier this spring and the pink gown she wore to the première of Valentine's Day. For the more casual event, she opted for Thakoon's Bright Tulip Floral Blouson Dress from the S/S 10 collection worn with The Row's School Boy Jacket ($1050) and Oscar de la Renta's Suede and Lace Platform Sandals ($745) from the Pre-Fall 10 collection (available at the end of this month), while for the movie premiere she went for full-tilt glamour in Oscar de la Renta's One Shoulder Shibori Ruffle Gown ($6990) and a pair of nude Christian Louboutin heels. In both cases, she let the dramatic print take center stage, styling these outrageously feminine frocks with simple neutral accessories and low-key hair and makeup.
All of Biel's outfits show that same sartorial equilibrium lately; take, for example, the ensemble she was snapped wearing while visiting David Letterman. The actress combined a pair of sand-colored Catherine Malandrino Pants ($325, 212.705.2000) from the Pre-Fall 10 collection with a baby blue chiffon Christian Lacroix blouse and a nude Fendi clutch. The diaphanous top is a romantic counterpoint to her more austere pants and the resulting ensemble is on-point and simply chic.
Using these five key looks as our reference point, we found a number of similar pieces so that you can achieve your own version of Biel's well-balanced style. For a cocktail-ready black and white ensemble, pair an embellished mini skirt, like Adam's Ostrich Feather Skirt with Beaded Waistband ($545) or Savant's Black Feather Skirt ($395), with a sheer lace shirt. American Apparel's Jacquard Lace Tee ($38) or Maje's Tumulte Eyelet Blouse ($200) are two good options; then just finish the look with some black ankle-strap pumps, such as Shoebox's Knot Peep Toe Pumps ($395). If straps aren't your thing, Sergio Rossi's Suede Platform Pumps ($510) are another super-chic, investment-worthy option. While finding an exact replica Biel's more formal gown is difficult, to say the least, we did come up with a clever way to get the spirit of her outfit. Instead of looking for a dress, why not mix a long white skirt in a dressy material with a black lace top? If this appeals to you, try J. Crew's Silk Chiffon Sophia Skirt ($368) in Ivory or ASOS's Side Split Maxi Skirt ($34) with Splendid's Lace Tank ($47) in Black or Joie's Drew B Lace Tank ($158).
For those of you who prefer Biel's brighter ensembles, we found a few options for you too. To create your own version of her polished flower-power look, start with a similarly crisp jacket, like Rebecca Minkoff's Susan Blazer ($365). Pair it with a popping print frock, such as Shoshanna's Scoop Back Sheath Dress ($340) or BCBGMaxAzria's Crystalized Floral Strapless Dress ($328), and bold heels, like Steve Madden's Glitsi Sandals ($100), for some spot-on style. Want a dressier option? We like Haute Hippie Ruffle Long Dress ($595), the pale pink is such a pretty color, or the more dramatic, purple print BCBGMaxAzria Strapless Chiffon Gown ($398). Either option would look swell with nude pumps, like Aldo's Moos Heels ($80) in Natural or ASOS Primavera's Leather Platform Court Shoes ($110).
Of course, you could always use one of Biel's day looks as your outfit inspiration. Obviously you'll need a light-colored pair of linen pants; if you can't get your hands on her exact Malandrinos, check out Theory's Zanamor Pants ($245) in Stone or Talbot's Refined Irish Linen Wide Leg Pants ($109) in Oatmeal. Pair them with a soft, semi-sheer blouseÂ--we love Elizabeth and James' Havana Blouse ($295) in Dusty RoseÂ--for an equally romatic-chic look.

It has a satin finish, so there is an ever-so-slight sheen that's really barely-there and just makes it look natural and not flat on the skin. MAC Legendary is more coral.

An authentic all-tube reproduction of the original Princeton Reverb classic!
Every guitarist knows the name Fender. After all, they've been building electric guitars since the beginning and were even responsible for creating the electric bass as we know it today. The music world owes a lot to Leo and the company he founded, and as amazing as their instruments are, some of their best-known creations are found right here in the lineup of Fender Amplifiers and Effects. Ever since the first amp rolled off Fender's production line in 1946, musicians have been trusting their sound to them - and reaping the rewards.
If it's an amplifier that you're searching for, the first questions you should be asking yourself are where you intend to use it and how much power you need. Most of Fender's amps are combos, which make gigs a cinch since you don't have to set up multiple components - just plug and play. And with amps as jaw-dropping as the Eric Clapton Signature 40W 2x12 Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo Amp here to choose from, you know you can get anything from a beginner box to something that meets the standards of Clapton himself.
Of course, if portability doesn't matter and your only concern is power, you're probably looking at building a full amp stack. Once again, Fender has what you need. Take a head like the Super-Sonic 60 Tube Guitar Amp Head or the Bassman Pro 100T Tube Bass Amp Head, pair it up with a cab such as the Super-Sonic 60 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet or Bassman Pro 810 Neo Bass Speaker Cabinet, and you'll be ready to crank it up to '11' even in the biggest venues.
Once you've got your amp situation sorted out, the next thing to take care of is your effects loop. This will probably be the most personalized part of your setup: it's all about you, your signature sound, and the effects you want. Check out the Fender Classic Series Phaser Pedal, for instance, if you like modern design with an old-school look and sound. It looks like it came right out of the 1970s, but it's got some innovative features like a top-mounted rate knob that's big enough to turn with your foot. If you've got limited real estate on your pedalboard, you'll also appreciate Fender's Micro series, which are about half the size of a traditional stompbox. And no guitarist should miss the Competition series, loaded with essential effects like chorus, distortion and overdrive, all decked out with cool racing-stripe paint jobs.
Granted, it may not actually be a race - but, even so, nobody could call Fender amplifiers and effects anything else but winners. When you want to play it louder and better, this is the place to gear up before you hit the stage or studio. It doesn't matter if you play Fender instruments, either: their amps and effects will play nice with any guitar or bass in your collection.

By TOM MCCOURTGuest contributor
"Yo, Spud. Did you see the House of Representatives passed a new hate crimes bill?" I asked from behind my newspaper.
"What's a hate crimes bill?" Uncle Spud mumbled as he fumbled with the TV remote. "I ain't seen nothin' about it on TV."
"It hasn't been on TV," I said. "But hate crimes legislation is when they make it more of a crime to mess with some people than with others."
"Did they make it more of a crime for people to molest children or beat-up and rob helpless little old ladies?" he asked.
"Well, no. This legislation gives special protection to gay people."
"Wait a minute. Do gay people need more protection under the law than innocent children or helpless little old ladies?"
"That's what it's about," I assured him. "Crimes against children and little old ladies are just regular crimes. Crimes against gay people are real serious."
"You can't be serious?" Spud growled.
"It's true," I offered. "House Bill-1913 is part of a new trend to legislate politically correct behavior. It's a way to legally require tolerance and non-judgmental behavior toward the gay lifestyle."
"Hold on there," Spud sputtered. "When it comes to pornography and drug laws, liberals are always saying we can't legislate morality. How can they expect to legislate acceptance for gays?"
"You can legislate almost any behavior if you make the punishment severe enough," I assured him.
"You can't be serious," Spud growled again.
"Actually, what congress did this time was expand the old hate crimes bill of 40 years ago," I explained. "The old hate crimes bill made it a special crime to mess with people because of their race, color, religion or national origin. This new and improved hate crimes bill makes it a special crime to mess with people because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or mental or physical handicaps. It seems the mental or physical handicaps part was thrown in to keep people from calling it a 'gay rights' bill."
"Sounds like legislation written in Hollywood," Spud grinned.
"I'm sure Hollywood had some input," I agreed. "But according to the New York Times, congressman Barney Frank said the bill is intended to protect people like him. After watching his performance on the house finance committee with the Fanny Mae mortgage meltdown and all, I think he was referring to his mental handicap."
"How can congress do this?" Spud asked. "Doesn't the Constitution say we are all equal and we all have the same rights and protections under the law? How can they make crimes against one group of people more serious than crimes against another group?"
"You're right," I agreed. "The 14th amendment to the Constitution guarantees every citizen of the United States equal protection under the law. Hate crimes legislation creates a special, or 'protected class' of citizen. That's a direct violation of the constitution."
"How can they pass this bill if it's a violation of the constitution?" Spud asked.
"The same way the government takes over the American banking industry," I said. "It's illegal, but they do it anyway."
"That's scary," Spud scowled.
"And hate crimes legislation, the way this bill is written, might even violate the first amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech," I informed him. "If this bill becomes law, some folks are expecting the liberal courts to interpret moral and religious objections to the gay lifestyle as a hate crime. In fact, reading some passages of scripture from the pulpit might soon be termed hate speech because of the Bible's anti-gay tone."
"Good grief," Uncle Spud moaned.
"But there's still hope," I told him. "The Senate must ratify the bill before it becomes law and they have yet to schedule a vote on it. There's still time to contact your senators."
"How did our Utah representatives vote on this bill?" Uncle Spud asked.
"Jim Matheson voted for it," I said. "Rob Bishop and Jason Chaffetz voted against it. The information is on the Internet. You can find how your congressman votes on any bill by going to: www.opencongress.org.
"You know you're going to be labeled a gay basher by pointing these things out?" Uncle Spud reminded.
"I know," I told him. "But I'm really a tolerant and non-judgmental type of guy. Miss California is my hero. Who am I to judge her choice of lifestyle?"

Harrison & Rhodes Exchange 140 Character Jousts
There was a bit of a kerfuffel on Twitter this evening between Rodney Harrison and Kerry Rhodes. Now Although Adam Schefter seemingly got involved, he made a fair point, Rodney wouldn't have said anything if Kerry hadn't made statements to the Daily News in the first place. I've made the tweets a little more legible.
Harrison: Kerry Rhodes is not really a tough guy, I saw him pass on plenty of tackles… I want to see what kind of game he brings Sunday. Kerry, you talk big for someone who has yet to even win in the playoffs you think you will ever accomplish what I accomplished?
Rhodes: I'm detecting a little jealousy from [Rodney Harrison] he must wish he was playing [Sunday]. My talent outweighs his ask Belichick. Are you playing sunday? I respect your game but you crossed line. And I never talk smack you started it. I know you respect my game! Tweet it! You being someone who played the game knows the media runs it .. I said we are gonna try to embarrass them! .. you should respect that.
Harrison: And even though I respect your game, you do have flaws and I have seen you pass on tackles and not always been physical. I definitely respect your game on the field Kerry, but I didn't appropriate what you said about the Patriots it's disrespectful. The talk about Brady's knees and promising to hit him more than 6 times is what hit a nerve. Did you ever come back from a surgery like that? no wonder you have no idea what kind of impact your words have for certain players who went through rehab.
Rhodes: See and that's my point I never ever said anything about hitting his knees! (laughing) Are you serious you know I don't play that way! Ok everyone that was fun but now Ihave to go back to studying for this weekends game! I'm [going to] let my Twitter family handle the rest!
Rhodes also rib Harrison (although not directly) that his "passing on tackles" was more just a factor of his not wanting to jump on piles late .. a clear reference to Rodney's reputatuon as a cheapshot artist.
Going back to the genesis, the article in the Daily News a few days ago made the point that Kerry and the Jets were not looking to cheapshot, but that he thought it would be natural for someone like Brady to have to think about his health.
On whether they're going to cheapshot the Patriots …
"No, we won't play dirty. We are going to play hard to the whistle."
On Brady's thought process about his legs …
"I'm sure if somebody is around his leg, or he feels pressure below, he's not going to step into his throw."
Harrison's faced more than one serious knee rehab during his career, and that might be part of his rage. Although Rhodes never said the word "knee" it's clear what he meant. Still it's understood what was meant. It's too late to be splitting hairs, we'll let you all do that for us. :P
