LAS VEGAS, October 1, 2009 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today introduced the CX-1 Mydriatic/Non-Mydriatic Digital Retinal Camera1 at Vision Expo West. In addition to the CX-1, Canon will showcase its complete line of ophthalmic solutions in the Canon booth (MS6063) at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas (October 1st– 3rd, 2009).
The CX-1 is the Company's first fully hybrid digital retinal camera with both mydriatic and non-mydriatic modes. With one-touch, the operator can automatically switch between mydriatic and non-mydriatic modes, effortlessly utilizing different functions within seconds and performing several concurrent ocular tests.
The CX-1 is the world's first non-mydriatic digital camera to take FAF (Fundus Autofluorescence) photography. To date, FAF photography was only possible in mydriatic mode. Detecting Autofluorescence of the retina is an important indication of the retina's health. Using the non-mydriatic mode not only saves time and resources, it also can make the diagnostic procedure more comfortable for the patient.
"As a pioneer and leader in the field of retinal imaging for more than 30 years, Canon is proud to introduce the world's first non-mydriatic digital retinal camera to take FAF photography, the CX-1 Mydriatic/Non-Mydriatic Digital Retinal Camera," said Tsuneo Imai, senior director and general manager, Medical Systems Division, Canon U.S.A.
"At Vision Expo West, Canon will demonstrate its commitment to helping make it simple and convenient for ophthalmic professionals to provide quality care to their patients by providing the latest digital imaging technology," noted Imai.
Canon's EOS camera technology, with its renowned image processing capabilities, is adapted exclusively for medical use in the CX-1, providing up to 15.1 megapixel resolution. The CX-1 is capable of delivering clear and detailed diagnostic images for virtually immediate review. The single onboard digital camera handles five different photography modes with ease, including non-mydriatic FAF, Color, Red-free, Cobalt and Fluorescein angiography photography.
TThe Retinal Imaging Control Software that comes with the CX-1 puts tools for comprehensive study management, image capture controls and easy viewing at your fingertips. The intuitive graphical interface is simple and straightforward to use. The PC-based software provides quick input and access to all information and images required to assist in patient diagnosis, and data can be easily saved to various external media.
Canon offers and markets a full line of digital imaging solutions for the ophthalmic world, including Non-Mydriatic and Mydriatic Retinal cameras, and full auto-tonometer and full auto-ref keratometers, all of which will be on display at the show. In addition to the CX-1, the Canon product line includes:

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will examine whether epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major component of green tea, affects how the body responds to insulin in healthy and obese people. Insulin is not as effective in people who are overweight, have high blood pressure or diabetes. This condition is known as insulin resistance. Laboratory studies suggest that green tea or EGCG treatment lowers blood pressure, lowers blood sugar and increases blood flow. This study will see if EGCG improves insulin resistance or insulin's effects on blood flow in people with insulin resistance.
Healthy normal weight or overweight people between 21 and 65 years of age may be eligible for this study. Participants are randomly assigned to take EGCG or a placebo ( inactive dummy pill ) in two 4-week treatment phases with a 2-week period of no study medication before each treatment phase. After the first 4-week treatment, patients on placebo are switched to EGCG and those on EGCG are switched to placebo. In addition to treatment, participants undergo the following procedures during the study period:
- Screening, including medical history, physical examination and blood and urine tests, and finger-stick blood sugar measurement for patients with diabetes
- Complete a dietary and physical activity questionnaire and consult with a dietitian
- Blood and urine tests
- At-home and clinic blood pressure monitoring
- Glucose clamp test to measure how the body responds to insulin. This test is done three times during the study. A needle is placed in a vein in each of the subject's arms, one for sampling blood and the other for infusing insulin, glucose and potassium. Glucose and insulin levels, electrolytes, lipids, fatty acids, cytokines and epicatechin are measured.
- Forearm blood flow measurement with microbubbles and ultrasound. Before beginning the glucose clamp test, a test of how well the blood vessels relax is done. A device that measures the size of the artery in the upper arm is placed above the elbow. Blood flow in the muscle of the forearm is measured by ultrasound using a small infusion through a vein of microbubble contrast agent consisting of gas-filled bubbles the size of red blood cells. The contrast agent is infused over a 7- to 9-minute period at the beginning of the glucose clamp test and again 2 hours after the beginning of the test.

Detailed Description:
Green tea is a functional food whose consumption is associated with improved cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in several large epidemiological studies. One third of the solids in green tea are composed of the bioactive polyphenol epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG). Studies in both cell- and animal-based models (from our lab and elsewhere) suggest that EGCG may mimic and/or augment beneficial metabolic, vascular, and anti-inflammatory actions of insulin. Indeed, we have recently shown that 3-week EGCG therapy of SHR rats (genetic model of hypertension with features of human metabolic syndrome including insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, endothelial dysfunction, and overweight) lowers blood pressure, improves endothelial dysfunction, increases insulin sensitivity, and raises adiponectin levels nearly as effectively as treatment with the conventional ACE-inhibitor enalapril. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension are all important interrelated public health problems that are characterized by reciprocal relationships between insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. Thus, therapies for these diseases that improve insulin resistance often simultaneously improve endothelial function and vice versa. Based on results from cellular, physiological, and epidemiological studies, we hypothesize that oral EGCG administration will simultaneously ameliorate insulin resistance and lower blood pressure in human subjects with obesity. To test these hypotheses, we will conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study to evaluate potential beneficial effects of EGCG to modulate insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, vascular function, and inflammatory markers in two groups of subjects (lean healthy controls, obesity). After a 2-week EGCG-free run-in period, each subject will be randomized to receive EGCG or placebo capsules (400 mg p.o. B.I.D.) for 4 weeks. This will be followed by a 2-week EGCG-free washout period after which subjects will cross-over to the other treatment arm. At baseline, and after each 4-week treatment period, we will assess insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinemic isoglycemic glucose clamp technique) and vascular function. Regarding vascular function, we will measure basal and insulin-stimulated brachial artery blood flow (large conduit artery assessed by Doppler ultrasound) as well as capillary recruitment in forearm skeletal muscle (small nutritive arterioles assessed by ultrasound with microbubble contrast). Blood pressure will be measured weekly in the UMB GCRC throughout the duration of the study. EGCG pharmacokinetics will be measured at the beginning of each glucose clamp study day after oral administration of a single dose of EGCG or placebo. Finally, various plasma markers of inflammation will be measured at baseline and at the end of each treatment arm to evaluate potential changes that may be related to improvements in metabolic and/or vascular function. This study will explore whether EGCG, a single compound thought to be a major bioactive component of green tea, is effective at improving insulin resistance and lowering blood pressure in subjects with obesity. Results from this study may have important implications for understanding potential health benefits of functional foods that contain bioactive polyphenols including green tea, dark chocolate, and red wine.

OMAHA, Neb. - Freshman Marissa
Janning broke her own arena record with 29 points to lead the Jays to a
67-66 win over Drake on Sunday, March 3.
With the win the Jays moved to 21-6 overall and 13-3 in the Missouri Valley
Conference (MVC). Drake, meanwhile, fell to 9-18 and 4-12 in Valley play.
Down 39-30 early in the second half, Janning took the game over with 23 of
the Jays 37 points in the period. Janning began the climb back with a
12-footer from the left wing, igniting a 9-2 Creighton run.
Following a Bulldog bucket, senior Ally Jensen
delivered a pull-up jumper just inside the paint to make it 41-34. After
a Drake turnover, Janning made one-of-two from the charity stripe, then
sophomore Alexis
Akin-Otiko connected on a layup. One more defensive stop led to
driving layup by Janning to pull the Jays within two at 41-39 with 15:33
After three straight by the Bulldogs extended the deficit to 44-39, Janning
drilled a three-ball from the right wing and tossed in another driving layup
from the left to knot the game at 44-44.
The two teams battled back and forth of the next ten minutes, Drake clinging
to a slim 60-59 edge with 3:28 remaining.
Creighton seized control behind a 6-0 run, courtesy of a layup from junior Sarah Nelson
and two buckets by Janning, to take a 65-60 lead with 1:06 left. Moments
later, Janning sealed the win with two free throws with 35 seconds remaining.
The opening period saw the Bluejays jump out to an early 9-3 lead on
trifectas from Janning (two) and A. Jensen. Drake, however controlled the
period, shooting 14-of-26 from the field (53%) to take a 37-30 lead into
Janning's 29 points is a career-high, eclipsing the D.J. Sokol Arena record
for a Bluejay that she set with 26 points on Feb. 14. Junior
McKenzie Fujan posted 11 points and tied a career-high with six assists.
Drake got 18 points from Kyndal Clark and a double-double of 14 points and
10 rebounds by Morgan Reid in the loss.
Creighton returns to the court on Thursday, March 7 as the Jays host
Evansville at 7:05 p.m.

Technically, there are still a few shows left before the major Fashion Weeks are finally finished, but we're waving our white flags today. As part of our terms of surrender, we've created one last batch of the best personal style seen at the New York, London, Milan, and Paris shows. We figured that you might be curious about how industry's key players put themselves together for the season's many presentations and parties, so, without any further ado, we're pleased to unveil What They Wear: Fashion Insiders!
Though she spends less time on the runway than in days of yore, Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova is still an astonishingly gorgeous part of the fashion scene. Vodianova only attended a few key shows this season, but the "Welsh Wizard" Julien MacDonald made the cut during London Fashion Week. Vodianova turned up in a gorgeous open weave vintage cardigan over the designer's black minidress, Kova & T's Oxy Leggings
($110) with stirrups, and a twinkling patchwork pair of Giuseppe Zanotti
($904.95). On the opposite end of the color spectrum, we have top stylist (and new TV star), Rachel Zoe, who selected a stunning patterned Dolce & Gabbana Long Sleeve Scarf Dress (similar to this Sleeveless Scarf Dress ($3470) at eLuxury) for the designers' spring show. The impeccably coifed Zoe kept the rest of her outfit from completing with the silk frock by choosing a simple black patent pair of YSL's Trib Two Pumps ($795, 212.988.3821) and an equally understated bag. (If only her assistants worked together this well...we kid, we kid!) Margherita Missoni also looked marvelous in Milan. As the ambassador for her family's brand, Miss M wears the luxe knitwear to great effect, and her look for the Missoni S/S 09 show was in perfect keeping with this tradition. MM wore a figure-flattering pleated Missoni dress, cinched in with an interlocking woven belt, towering Versace platform heels (try Steve Madden's Gizella Platforms ($109.95) in taupe), and a vintage pair of sunglasses. We love all the personal touches she added to the standard dress; they really take the head-to-toe look to a higher level. Speaking of perfectly selected details, let's discuss another duo who understand the power of savvy accessorizing, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott (the genius girls behind Current/Elliott). Despite their slammed schedule of shows, they still made time for a little merrymaking. Seen here at the Intermix 15th Anniversary Party in New York, the pair reminded the world that, in addition to their breakout denim line, they're fantastic stylists to boot, as evidenced by their own outfits. Emily (the dainty blonde on the left) chose a vintage fifties one shouldered dress from The Way We Wore, Chloe Studded Ankle Boots ($1245), a Balenciaga City Bag, and gold vintage jewelry. Her lithesome other half, Meritt Elliott, looked equally amazing in a vintage men's shirt over LnA Leggings in black licorice ($105), a gorgeous pair of Golden Goose Chain Detail Boots ($1036), and a vintage hat and jewelry.
Of course it wouldn't be Fashion Week without some style statement from Agyness Deyn, and the model du jour didn't disappoint. She attended the Swarovski-sponsored after party for Giles wearing a sheer nude t-shirt and silver leather trousers fresh from the designer's Spring 09 runway show. Her shoes were equally current and coveted: they're next season's Christian Louboutin for Giles of course! Another one of our favorite, formerly spotlighted subjects, GOTM Clemence Poesy, was spotted out and about during the Paris shows. The French actress showed up for the Balenciaga show in a simple, understated outfit. Naturally she showed her devotion to Nicolas Ghesquiere by wearing a past piece of his, specifically the gray wool, double-breasted, military coat that's been seen on tastemakers like Kate Moss. Though Poésy's jacket has long sold out, we like the similar look of Les Prairies de Paris Le Laurence Coat ($525) and or French Connection's Stripe It Lucky Jacket ($198). Poésy might have taken the subtle approach, but we love a livelier look too, like the one that her compatriot in style, Irina Lazareanu, turned out for a New York Fashion Week party. For the V Magazine party at Mini Rooftoop NYC, Laz wore a sequined vintage top over jean shorts, and accessorized with a feathered hair band (like ban.do's Sequined Band $150) and ankle boots. (If you enjoy her sparkle but fear it's a bit much, check out MLH's Louisa Peacock Sequin Dress
($495).) To the right of Lazareanu, we have the ne plus ultra of chic: French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and her gorgeous daughter, Julia Restoin Roitfeld. The pair were spotted making their entrance to the Dior show, mom in her favorite Earnest Sewn Charlotte 60 Pencil Skirt (she's worn it all summer, $198, 877.475.5326), a nude top, and sharp, snug, striped blazer, while her offspring chose an interesting black skirt (like Samantha Pleet's High Waisted Skirt
($264) in black), ankle boots, and a black blazer (Gap's Long Tailored Jacket
($88) has a similar shape).
To conclude our Fashion Insiders coverage, we're going to head back to New York and showcase a few of our masthead favorites (and one lovely model too). Virginia Smith, Vogue's Fashion Market/Accessories Director was snapped at front row at Michael Kors in an excellent transitional outfit. Her Ann Demeulemeester Cropped Wool Trousers ($900) are the perfect shape for fall while her studded Balenciaga gladiators are a stylish nod to the still summery weather. We also adore the way she played her striped Sacai sweater against the wilder leopard Lanvin Bowler ($2740). Continuing on, we next have a future Model of the Moment, Australian stunner Abbey Lee. Lee cut a gothic swath at the V Magazine party in a black strapless frock, bondage heels, and blood red lipstick. Her witchy sandals remind us of some of the sex-on-stilettos footwear coming out of Nicholas Kirwood's atelier-yum! Meredith Melling Burke, Vogue's Senior Market Editor (and our not-so-secret fashion girl crush), opted for some equally S&M-style shoes for the Calvin Klein party. The delicate blonde showed off a corseted pair of Givenchy's
Peep Toe Booties
($447 on sale), worn with some shin-grazing satiny 3.1 Phillip Lim pants, similar to the designer's Cropped Carrot Pants ($275). MMB also wore Nation LTD's
California Tee in White
($63) with sleeves slightly cuffed. Our final Fashion Insider is none other than Nylon's Style Director, Dani Stahl. Seen here making her way into the Calvin Klein Collection S/S 09 show, the downtown darling wore a very uptown selection of clothes, including a timeless YSL Tuxedo Jacket and one of fall's must-buy shoes, YSL's Patent Pull-On Low Boots ($1000). Stahl mixed these pieces with a basic black Calvin Klein tank, bright 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt, Versace Sunglasses, and Cartier's Large Marcello Bag ($2350), creating a winning combination of classic and au current.

For February's installment of Girl Of The Month, we travel across the Atlantic and set our sights on the fresh-faced (and often foul-mouthed) Peaches Geldof. An up-and-coming fashion icon in the UK, Peaches has already written a column for the country's ELLEgirl magazine and was named one of the top 10 fashion icons by Tatler-all before her 18th birthday!
Daughter of musician/humanitarian Bob Geldof (he created Live Aid and Live 8) and the late Paula Yates, it's no wonder that Peaches always looks like the coolest girl at a concert. She goes from blonde to brunette in a heartbeat, always has unique accessories, and has stylish pals like Daisy Lowe (Gavin Rossdale's daughter) and Lily Allen (when they're not fighting). We hear she's even doing a line of jewelry for Topshop that incorporates African themes-a nod to her father's work.

By, Adam K. Fetterman
The New York Times reviewed a talk given at the annual Society for Personality and Social Psychology conference by Jonathan Haidt. As an attendee, I did not catch the talk, but Haidt had noted that there is an extreme liberal bias in social psychology. While some of his conclusions and evidence is questionable (which he would expect me to say as a liberal social psychologist), it does not seem like that far of a stretch. I can give many examples of conservative social psychologists, I can give far more of liberal ones. The causes and consequences of this bias are worth investigating. In fact, the consequences more inform the causes. One of the concerns of the field in regard to this bias, according to the NYT piece, is that reviewers and interviewers may be unfair to those that may be conservative leaning.
The reason that this possible consequence may inform the cause of the bias is because of research done by Vivian and Berkowitz (1993) concerning in-group and out-group bias. What they found was that if someone anticipated a biased evaluation from an out-group, they acted with increased in-group bias. Therefore, it may be that the reason there is a liberal bias is because the social psychologists anticipate a detrimental conservative bias from conservative psychologists. However, they also found that if the participants anticipated a fair evaluation, the participants showed a positive bias toward the out-group. Another possible way to see this is that the conservatives are anticipating a liberal bias from colleagues, reviewers and interviewers, which may cause a biased perception of the conservatives. According to the article, Haidt attributes this extreme bias to a "tribal-moral community". This also seems plausible. While I approach the causes and assertions of this research/talk/article with great skepticism, it is definitely worth researching. Science, after all, should attempt to eliminate such biases to the greatest extent possible.
Social scientist sees bias within. by, John Tierney

It's not often that you get a great deal on one of the most popular and highest rated accessories for one of the best and newest phones. But this week, the Survivor series, Griffin's leading carrying case for iPhone 5, is on super sale at Pure Mobile.
With an iPhone 5 accessory as high-rated and well-loved as this, it almost seems like an exercise in redundancy to go through a description. But for those who aren't already well acquainted with Griffin's star iPhone case, here goes:
Griffin proudly claims that the Survivor case is the most protective case they've ever built, which, for this company, is saying something. Unapologetically over-engineered, the Survivor for iPhone 5 is built to military specifications, "designed and tested to meet or exceed US Department of Defense Standard 810F."
With a multi-layer construction that combines shatter-proof polycarbonate with shock-absorbing silicone, the Survivor case has been tested to withstand rain, vibrations, blown sand and dust, and even a 6-foot drop onto concrete.
But this carrying case serves just as well for everyday life as it does in military-grade tests, and handy features, like a multi-position clip make it a practical and functional civilian favorite.
And with a wide variety of colors to choose from (our sale includes models in basic black or grey, as well as color combos with red, blue, green and more), there's a stylish option for almost every taste.
And right now, we've got the Griffin Survivor for iPhone 5 priced around the $20 mark, which is probably just about the best deal you can get on an iPhone 5 accessory with this level of design and quality.

Subjecting a teenager to an institutionalized system designed to enforce conformity and obidience can only ever result in one possible outcome: violent revolt. Schools are an incubator of rebellion. Taking its name from the Rudyard Kipling poem about privilege, empire and all the values that director Lindsay Andseron abhors, IF... stars Malcom McDowell as a radical youth attending an old established British boys school who bristles against all forces of authority and dreams of revolution. He ultimately emerges as a violent liberator from his oppressive confines in one of the most memorable and explosive climaxes of all time.
The rigidly hierarchical British class structure is played out in microcosm within the cloistered world of the public school. The older boys, prefects and whips, lord over the lower classmen who they constantly demean as scum, forcing them to do chores, run errands, and essentially act as their personal servents. Violence, cruelty, dehumanizing language and weaponized sexuality are all casually deployed as means of mainting a degrading status quo. The more independent boys are beaten for their "general attitude".
While IF... seems at first to be using a realistic, observational approach to filmmaking, it slowly, almost imperceptibly, goes off the rails. The film alternates between color and black & white without any sort of symbolic meaning. It is an almost purely aesthetic choice that Anderson says he utilized to establish "an atmosphere of poetic license". It contributes to a slightly dislocated, unreal atmosphere that builds as the film approaches its horrifying, surrealistic conclusion.
"If you can dream—and not make dreams your master" goes the Kipling poem. In his essay on IF..., David Ehrenstein observes that the film is "about both dreaming and mastering, revolting against the status quo and daring to imagine what it might be like to put something else in its place." What more could you possibly want to get out of school?

- Reflective trims
- High neck line for warmth
- Full length front zip
- 3 rear pockets
How should my 2XU Cycle garments fit?
Your 2XU Cycle tops should fit loosely whilst standing upright in order to facilitate a snug, comfortable fit when stretched out or in the crouched position on the bike. Having said this, your jersey should never 'cut in' uncomfortably to the body. If this is occurring, you should review your size choice.
To achieve optimal aerodynamics through the air, Shorts and Bibs should be neat against the skin with no excess fabric.
For upper body Jerseys, a streamlined fit is ideal; however a free range of movement in the shoulders is essential, as is comfort in the underarms.
A little extra space between you and the garment will also promote breathability and ventilation.
For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Chart below. You will also find some helpful fit-related information in the FAQ section of the website.
SMD technology utilises 4 unique fabrics; SMD Cool, SMD Mesh, SMD Silver and SMD 3D Mesh. Each fabric contains these unique product enhancing features:
UPF 50+ sun protection
Maximum moisture management
Nano silver particles for antibacterial + thermo-regulation

I would recommend Debian. It's well-documented, in these days easy to install and extra packages are very easy to install. It won't install anything you don't need, so no open ports without reason. It doesn't come with a graphical system by default, which is probably good for you because you want a ftp server. I'm almost 100% sure Debian supports your hardware.Originally Posted by z969307
Lots of documentation, download links etc. at their homepage; http://www.debian.org.

Read: The Team's Who Will Lose The Most Aren't Being Represented
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that if the season ends up being cancelled the Maple Leafs will have lost $100 in potential revenue while the Rangers would lost $50 million and Montreal a little less.
He notes have the Rangers and Canadiens aren't represented on the negotiating committee and while Brian Burke is on the committee, the only two people with any real input on the NHL's plan of action are Gary Bettman and Boston owner Jeremy Jacobs.
Jacobs reportedly has so much power that he told Bettman to "silence" Calgary owner Murray Edwards during the last round of talks.
Brooks writes "It is unfathomable that league owners who understand the ramifications of extending this senseless lockout have not demanded Bettman call a Board of Governors meeting for a full airing of the issues."

Three economic development agencies have filed state Supreme Court action against Alteri Bakery in an attempt to collect on loans each made to the Watertown business.
The Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, Watertown Local Development Corp. and North Country Alliance Local Development Corp. filed suit Monday at the county clerks office claiming they are owned a combined $142,630, plus interest and late fees.
JCIDA claims it gave Alteri a $200,000 loan for equipment in 1999, with $41,706 due on the principal as of the end of April. The Watertown Local Development Corp., also known as the Watertown Trust, provided a $100,000 mortgage to the business the same year and claims $61,934 remains due. The North Country Alliance claims it lent the business $200,000 in 1998, with $38,990 remaining to be repaid. According to court documents, Alteri has been in default on the loans since August 2011, although it has been making some payments.
Alteris last full loan payment coincided with the month Jreck Subs Inc. announced it was shifting its submarine sandwich roll business from the Watertown bakery to a producer in Cleveland, Ohio, taking away more than half of Alteris business and forcing it to lay off about 20 workers.
The move prompted Seaway Valley Capital, parent company of Alteri, to sue Jreck, claiming it had a 2002 contract calling for Jreck franchises across the state to buy all of their rolls from Alteri. Jreck has countered that a subsequent agreement superseded the earlier agreement, allowing it to make the vendor change.
JCIDA and the Watertown Trust have joined Seaway Valley Capital as plaintiffs in that action, which remains pending in Supreme Court.

Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with a thunderous hangover, a raging headache, and a pair of horns growing from his temples. At first, Ig thought the horns were a hallucination, the product of a mind damaged by rage and grief. He had spent the last year in a lonely, private purgatory, following the death of his beloved, Merrin Williams, who was raped and murdered under inexplicable circumstances. A mental breakdown would have been the most natural thing in the world. But there was nothing natural about the horns, which were all too real.
Once the righteous Ig had enjoyed the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned musician and younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, he had security, wealth, and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more—he had Merrin and a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic. But Merrin's death damned all that. The only suspect in the crime, Ig was never charged or tried. And he was never cleared. In the court of public opinion in Gideon, New Hampshire, Ig is and always will be guilty because his rich and connected parents pulled strings to make the investigation go away. Nothing Ig can do, nothing he can say, matters. Everyone, it seems, including God, has abandoned him. Everyone, that is, but the devil inside.
Now Ig is possessed of a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look—a macabre talent he intends to use to find the monster who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It's time for a little revenge. It's time the devil had his due.

"people are funny"
I just popped by to rate...wasn't even gonna write and then I saw some of the reviews and just had to laugh.....
The one up top with all the seething vitriol just makes me wonder if the writer has some kind of personal grudge against Hill - could not take that seriously at all - and neither should you. Obvious some odd bias thing happening there...there is just nothing in this book to waranty such heat (lol - yeah yeah...devilish - couldn't help myself) and those offended by the take on religion - why would you read a book called Horns by Joe Hill with a pitchfork on the front? Were you expecting tales of the life and times of Jesus and his pet bunnies and kittens? Lol...unbelievable.
Honestly, this book is good. I had just finished the latest Stephen King, which I really enjoyed, and was in that awful limbo where you have to pick your next book and you just know it won't be as good as the last and since I had exhausted the King library it struck me - Hey - like father like son, right? And I was not disappointed - genetic greatness. Hill definitely has his own voice, though, not just copying pops - he really is a good, solid horror writer (something there are just way too few of these days). Inventive, funny, made me cry, laugh - kept me interested and Damnit! another hellish reference) I'm back in limbo again! Maybe I'll just go for the ghost stories....after all I really enjoyed 'Heartshaped Box' too.
and please...if you don't like horror - stop reading and then giving bad reviews to things you should have stayed away from in the first place. It's unfair to the author. Horror is a tricky thing, you either like it or you don't - like country music or...opera!
I'm just a dumb troglodyte who like reading. Me feel good after I read book.
I am so reassured after reading/listening to a Joe Hill novel. Reassured because he relatively young writing talent, age 41, who is on track to produce numerous future great book in the horror genre. I will always look forward to the next Joe Hill novel. Hill's writing is creative, exciting, in your face, and unpretentious. He is never boring and unafraid veer his stories in multiple directions within improbable situations.
Hill's best work to date is NOS4A2, but Horns (written 3 years before NOS4A2) is an absolute delight. This story of revenge is so inventive with multiple individual story lines that you need to wait for the last 20 pages to pull it all together. Horns also includes so many classic references to Lucifer and analyzes the ultimate role of the prince of darkness. Hill gives the reader a metamorphous of man into the devil with several interesting twists, ascribing him supernatural powers that would make most crime solvers jealous.
Having lauded Hill for the last two paragraphs, I must admit that with Horns, Hill is yet a fully matured writer. He is like a big-time home hitter who strikes out too much. There are few segments in Horns when the bottom drops out of the story. This most often occurs at the start of flashback scenes, where the action/drama abruptly stops and the author resets the story.
Many of friends criticize Joe Hill's writing as an identical copy as his father, Stephen King. I feel this the strength of Joe Hill! The resemblance of his famous father's writing style is something that almost every writer would wish for if they found a genie lamp. Overall, Horns is an exciting and creative audio book with excellent narration. Hill may have some pacing problems, but this book is fun. Using my personal rank order system of the best books I read over the last two years, Horns is 20th of 65.
"Horns creates a classic look at sinners & saints"
What is good / What is evil ? -- What do they look like ? IS Satan really the excutioner for God's judgement? So would that make Satan and God working the same side ? And as in all good books, will good conquer evil ?
Story woven by Hill contain many thought jewels beattifully crafted into the work, this requires several readovers to fully digest the spectrum meanings and impact the auhor challenged. Hill takes a pretty strong verbage discussing Jeudo Christian beliefs- which offenda few-but taken as part of the whole - strengthen the work.
But our devil has seemed to find contentment in the here after -- just got to figure out who he his
Would not be suprised to is this being considered a modern classic
Final Point-I found that Joe Hill wrote this story, Not his father, This author has jumped into his own, not rode the tails of his father, When reading this I did fell a long shadow looking over Hill's shoulder when he wrote it, and mine when I read it.

"Gripping & Innovative"
Masterfully written & narrated. More of a morality play than a horror story, but definitely worth the credits.
"Guilty pleasure"
This is a classic good vs. evil story, but the real villain is not wearing the horns. Thought-provoking with vivid characters, my only complaint was with a few preachy, drawn out sections that could have done with some editing - they really dragged and seemed forced. A clever pretext for the story and a few very funny parts made it worth the listen. I recommend it, especially if you are in need of a genre-bender.
"Joe comes through again."
Another great book by Joe Hill. I actually felt compassion and sorrow for Ig and pure hate for Lee. It is a love story but with a twist. I love the way Joe tells a story. The end was kind of tied up with a bow but I couldnt imagine any other way of ending this book.
"Excellent book and narrator!"
After listening to Heart Shaped Box, I decided to find out more about the author and listened to Horns. It was really a unique story with well-developed characters. It starts off with the hero waking up with a pair of horns and describes what happens when he starts interacting with people around him, then moves on to detail how he wound up in that predicament for much of the book. I like the way it is laid out, since it keeps you guessing and also becomes a bit of a romance as well as a mystery, fantasy, and horror book. Joe Hill writes very well, and the book kept me involved all the way through. I can see why more conservative Christians might be uncomfortable with it, since it questions a lot of orthodox thought, but really don't understand why someone who might be uncomfortable with a "devil" as a protagonist would purchase a book called Horns with a pitchfork on the front. Before reading this, I'd been making my way back through old Stephen King favorites, and although I didn't realize Hill was his son until listening to Horns, their writing styles are somewhat similar, and it was a good transition. Like much of King's work, the ending left me craving more. It was a decent ending, just missed it when it was gone and am looking forward to Hill's next work. The narrator was perfect for it, and most of the time I didn't notice him in a good way, though yes, one voice was a little "crusty" for a female...overall excellent.
"Amazingly Well Done!"
Rare do I write such a great review. This book kept me spellbound, jawdropping at one point.
Who would not like to take revenge on a wrong, have that power to love, be lost upon losing her, blamed for her death, and forsake life, God Himself, or Satan for that matter, for the wrong it did to us. And ah finally a great story with a great and suprise ending. That is rare it itself Ah the most amazing book I have read in a long, long time. I recommend it highly.
"Makes me want a Gremlin."
I'd give every past and future novel written by Mr. Hill a try. I would however, rather not listen to another novel narrated by Mr. Berman.
Based strictly on character development, my favorite is Ig. The other characters are mostly non-existent, small players and what not. The other main characters do not have much development, but it is not a hindrance to the story.
The narrator came off sounding like a washed up radio personality that is in love with his own voice. He over enunciates and has this phony feeling, gravely tone. I think the goal was to set a darker tone, but it felt harsh and forced. When he reads dialogue for a woman it feels like he uses a mocking tone the entire time, making even sweet sentiments sound bitchy.
It inspired me to become an editor. Assuming the editor wasn't overruled profusely by the author, they should never be employed by another author again.
Several things within this novel make no sense, most extremely minor and probably only bother me. The biggest issue though is the way that everyone, including his family, treats the main character. They all assume he is guilty of murdering his girlfriend. Many characters make reference to the fact that they always thought he would do something like that, or that they always had a bad feeling about him. Yet, there is nothing in his back story that validates those statements. The character is portrayed as a loving boyfriend that dotes on and adores her. The way their relationship is portrayed, no one would ever think he would have done her any harm unless there were stacks of evidence a mile high. Even if there was that mountain of evidence, his family would still not have believed in his guilt.
Also, as with his first novel, Mr. Hill doesn't seem to be able to write believable dialogue. However, he has greatly improved since his first novel. Primarily, it is the dialogue that is angry or confrontational that feels unrealistic.
Overall though, this is a fascinating story and a good read, worth the money.

For most of the last decade St. Lawrence Central softball coach Tim Brown has not worried about finding a pitcher.
He has just penciled in the name, Thayer on the lineup card.
The last of the three Thayer sisters, Lindsay, is a junior for the Larries this year and has emerged as one of the best pitchers in the Northern Athletic Conference.
Last year she recorded a 1.03 earned-run average and struck out 216 batters. She also hit .417 and drove in 21 runs.
The oldest sister in the family, Sarah, graduated in 2009 and is now a senior captain for the SUNY Oswego softball team. The middle sister, Ashley, is a junior at SUNY Potsdam and owns two career college no-hitters.
Shes been fortunate to have two exceptional players in front of her, who were her sisters, Brown said. Shes kind of taken over the physical strength from both and the natural movement of Ashley. Shes been fortunate enough to have the best of both worlds and her dad (Randy), who has been willing to go out and catch all those girls (in home practices) since they were little.
Shes kind of a mix of the two (sisters). Shes taller than both (6-feet), so shes been a little bit longer. Shes got the velocity of Sarah and the movement of Ashley.
Lindsey Thayer never played on the same team as Sarah, but she was on the SLC varsity as an eighth-grader during her sister Ashleys senior season.
It was nice, Thayer said. It was stressful at times. That year I played centerfield and I batted first.
Thayer enjoyed a dominant sophomore season, leading the Larries to a 16-1 regular season record and a tie for first place with Canton in the North Division with a 7-1 mark.
She spent the summer and part of the fall playing in showcase leagues in Syracuse to improve her game.
Her location is pretty good, Brown said. She moves the ball in and out, up and down, pretty well. She has nice velocity, but shes starting to get a lot more movement on her ball, and shes starting to develop more pitches. Shes matured from last year to this year, both physically and mentally.
Said Thayer, We start pitching in the middle of winter and then you have to keep throwing pretty much every day. Ive worked on basically everything. I keep working on pitches, getting different pitches down. Im a very competitive person. I feel like (pressure) just makes me better.
A dominant pitcher in softball usually means a successful team, though Thayer and Brown know its important that the other eight players on the field handle balls batters put in play.
It gives you a good starting point to build from, Brown said of pitching. I tell the girls that we start from here and it goes from there out. We lost some of our infielders (to graduation). I think our fielders coming up will be fairly solid. It will be a bit of a learning curve as they develop behind her.
With one sister at SUNY Oswego and another at SUNY Potsdam the Thayer family finds itself rooting for two teams when they meet in their SUNYAC matchups.
Neither of the older sisters will be in college when Lindsay Thayer begins her career, and she does not know if she wants to attend either of their schools or make her mark somewhere else.
Im going to start looking soon, Thayer said. I know I want to be in the health field and have something to do with athletes.
The Northern Athletic Conference divisions have been jumbled so the races will have a different look than last season.
Canton, which tied for the North Division title, is back in the Central Division, where it will contend with Ogdensburg Free Academy, Malone and Massena for that title.
North co-champion St. Lawrence Central remains in that division and should be a clear favorite to win.
The East will be led by Colton-Pierrepont, Chateaugay and Parishville-Hopkinton, who all tied for that championship a year ago with 10-2 records.
Defending champion Heuvelton, which was a young team a year ago, won the West by three games and appears to be the class of that division again this year, with Hermon-DeKalb and Morristown giving chase.
The defending sectional champions are Malone (A), OFA (B), St. Lawrence Central (C) and Heuvelton (D).
Top individuals returning include: Heuveltons Logan Tallman, Hannah Thornhill and Alexis Sawyer, SLCs Lindsay Thayer and Noelle Rufa, Chateaugays Courtney Boyea, Massenas Kharlene Garrow, Cantons Emma Rexford, Parishville-Hopkintons Michaela Coventry and Kodi Perkins, Hammonds Alyssa Crosby, Morristowns Mikayla Horton and Malones Annie Sharlow.

18 U.S. Code § 10 - Interstate commerce and foreign commerce defined
The term "interstate commerce", as used in this title, includes commerce between one State, Territory, Possession, or the District of Columbia and another State, Territory, Possession, or the District of Columbia.
The term "foreign commerce", as used in this title, includes commerce with a foreign country.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 686.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 408, 408b, 414(a), and 419a(b) (Oct. 29, 1919, ch. 89, § 2(b),41 Stat. 325; June 22, 1932, ch. 271, § 2,47 Stat. 326; May 18, 1934, ch. 301, 48 Stat. 782; May 22, 1934, ch. 333, § 2(a),48 Stat. 794; Aug. 18, 1941, ch. 366, § 2(b),55 Stat. 631).
This section consolidates into one section identical definitions contained in sections 408, 408b, 414(a), and 419a(b) of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.
In addition to slight improvements in style, the word "commerce" was substituted for "transportation" in order to avoid the narrower connotation of the word "transportation" since "commerce" obviously includes more than "transportation." The word "Possession" was inserted in two places to make the definition more accurate and comprehensive since the places included in the word "Possession" would normally be within the term defined and a narrower construction should be handled by express statutory exclusion in those crimes which Congress intends to restrict to commerce within the continental United States.

Yasmin Mzayek '13
Hometown: Aleppo, Syria; New Orleans
Major: Neuroscience
Minor: Music
Research interests: Music perception—how the brain responds to sound and music
Extra-curricular activities: Rhodes jazz band and jazz combo; intern at Stax Music Academy; organized music benefit "Sound Out for Syria;" part of CBU research team—helping collect EEG data; Mike Curb Recording Fellowship
Tell the story of how you got to Rhodes College:
I was born in Syria in 1991, and I lived there until 2000. Coming to America at the age of 9 was definitely a big change for me, and I had no idea what to expect. It was a good change, though, and it really opened up my options for the future. I went to school in New Orleans and fell in love with the city. But, I wanted to go somewhere else after high school because I knew that it was the only way I would gain as much as possible out of my experience in college. I was drawn to Rhodes because of the opportunities it has for exploring many different disciplines.
How have you changed since beginning your studies at Rhodes College?
When I first came to Rhodes, I had no idea what area of study I wanted to pursue. After taking a broad range of classes and studying abroad in Spain I decided I wanted to do Neuroscience and Music in the hopes of someday integrating both disciplines. Now I'm more involved in my area of study, and I can see myself being involved in music throughout my life because it has become more than just a hobby for me. I am definitely more confident in my ability to pursue challenging endeavors.

Submission Weebots: Driveable Robots for Babies Who Need Them-> 1
toygeek writes: Babies, as you may have noticed if you own one, like to get into all sorts of mischief, and studies show that exploring and interacting with the world is important for cognitive development. Babies who can't move around as well may not develop at the same rate as babies who can, which is why researchers from Ithaca College in New York are working on a way to fuse babies with robots to give mobility to all babies, even those with conditions that may delay independent mobility, like Down syndrome, spina bifida, or cerebral palsy.
