Under ISO 17025 (clause 5.4.6) laboratories are required to estimate the uncertainty of measurement in all tests. At present, however, testing laboratories are not required to report uncertainty except under the following circumstances.
When the client requests it.
Where the uncertainty is essential in order to allow the result of the testing to be interpreted.
The purist might well argue that a knowledge of the uncertainty is essential for the interpretation of any measurement but in practice accreditation bodies do not take this view. Hence reporting of uncertainty is only required at the client's request. However it must be emphasised that the laboratory still has to carry out the estimation and assessors will need to see the result of this exercise.
The general approach to uncertainty of measurement requires the following steps.
Carry out an intermediate precision measurement for the method. This is an essential component of method validation in any event.
Consider the method and identify any areas of uncertainty not covered by the intermediate precision study and quantify them. Typical examples of this type of uncertainty will be instrument calibrations, issues of purity of standards, uncertainty in concentration of calibration solutions and other references.
In order to derive standard uncertainties from available data on calibration uncertainties and tolerances it is necessary to decide on the actual statistical distribution of the data and to carry out an appropriate conversion from the data supplied to a standard uncertainty expressed as a standard deviation.
Combine the two sources of uncertainty into an overall standard uncertainty estimate.
Textile and leather testing involve chemical measurements, physical measurements and measurement of relevant properties such as colour fastness. The uncertainty in chemical measurements is dealt with in detail in the part of this website dedicated to chemical testing [HL here]. Some examples of uncertainty estimates for other areas of textile and leather testing are shown below.
Procedure Outline
Self-evidently this measurement will be subject to uncertainties resulting from the measurement of area and from weighing. The method, in outline, involves the following.
Condition the leather sample for 24 hours in an agreed standard atmosphere.
Using a ruler mark out a square of side 25 cm and cut out.
Weight the square of material on a three place balance and calculate the weight of one square meter in grams.
Intermediate Precision (Type A Uncertainty)
An intermediate precision exercise was carried out as part of method validation where a cloth of high homogeneity was subjected to the test 11 times using three different operators and spread over three weeks. In each case the same balance and ruler were used throughout. The result of this exercise returned a mean value of 372.346 g for the 25 cm square with a standard deviation of ±4.321 g. Expressed as a percentage this is 372.346± 1.605%.
This represents the uncertainty arising from the laboratory's actual operations and is effectively the in-house reproducibility for the method. It will largely derive from differences between operators and over time in measurement of the sample. There is not likely to be any significant similar operator effect derived from the weighings as the operation is simple and digital.
The same balance and ruler were used throughout the contributions. Hence the uncertainty in weighing with that balance and in the calibration of the ruler need, additionally, to be taken into account.
Weighing Uncertainty(Type B )
The uncertainty in a weighing is a combination of three contributions.
The uncertainty in the annual balance calibration. This will be stated on the calibration certificate and will normally be expressed as a 95% confidence interval. For the purpose of this exercise assume that the value quoted on the annual calibration certificate is ±0.0003g.
The uncertainty which results from the tolerance allowed on the balance daily check. For a three place balance this will typically be ±0.001g, i.e. the balance is allowed to drift by no more than one digital interval. This represents a tolerance on the weighing of ±0.001g.
Since modern balances are typically digital there is an uncertainty arising from the digital display itself. This amounts to a tolerance equivalent to 0.0005g or half a digital interval.
The uncertainty in weighing with this balance is calculated below.
Source of Uncertainty

Nature of Value
Distribution Type
Calculation to Provide Standard Uncertainty
Value of Standard Uncertainty (g)
Uncertainty in annual balance calibration.
95% confidence interval based on coverage factor of 2.
Uncertainty due to tolerance on daily check.
Tolerance for drift
Uncertainty due to digital display resolution.
Tolerance created by limitations on display resolution.
Combined Uncertainty (square root of 0.000152 + 0.0005772 + 0.00028872)
This is the absolute uncertainty, in grams, of weighing with this balance. For the sample concerned, weight 372.346 g the percentage uncertainty is 0.000178%.
Area Uncertainty Due to Uncertainty in Ruler Calibration (Type B)
The measurement is done with a 30 cm ruler marked in millimetres. The quoted uncertainty of calibration, as a 95% confidence interval, is ±0.2 mm. The standard uncertainty will be ±0.1 mm assuming a normal distribution.
Expressed as a percentage of the 25 cm (250 mm) measurement this is ±0.04%.
In order to obtain an area two measurements are made so the 0.04% must be incorporated twice by taking the square root of the sum of the squares, i.e. square root of (0.042 + 0.042) = ± 0.0566%. The uncertainties are combined in this way and not simply added as there is no reason to suppose they would both operate with the same sign.
We now have values for all of the contributions to uncertainty as percentages. Note that expression of the uncertainties in this relative fashion as opposed to as raw values is essential as we are now going to combine them to get an overall uncertainty. We cannot do this directly as we would then be combining cm and grams which is clearly absurd !
Combined Uncertainty
Value %
Type A uncertainty from intermediate precision
Uncertainty in weighing
Uncertainty due to measurement of sample area
Combined Uncertainty (square root of 1.6052 + 0.0001782 + 0.05662)
Converted back into grams for the weighing of 372.346 g this means an absolute standard uncertainty of ±5.980 g for the 25 cm square. In terms of square meters the result is 5957.536 g per square meter with a standard uncertainty of 95.678 g per square meter. Applying a coverage factor of 2 we have a 95% confidence interval of ±191.356 g per square meter.
Note the following points.
The overall uncertainty is dominated by the intermediate precision. This is common in many types of testing. This is how it should be. If the uncertainty in calibration of one of the pieces of equipment dominated the uncertainty then a better level of calibration would be indicated.
The intermediate precision inevitably includes and element from sample variability since the material will never be perfectly homogeneous. Any realistic measurement of intermediate precision must use a new sample each time as the uncertainty derived from cutting the sample needs to be included.
This uncertainty estimate is only valid for measurements of the order of 6000g/sqm. Other ranges would have to be checked as intermediate precision may well be a function of the point in the measurement range. Typically intermediate precision should be estimated at 20% and 80% of the full range of measurement for the method.
Yarn ID
Mean of 11 Determinations (N)
Standard Deviation
Thus establishes the type A contribution to uncertainty. The only additional factor to be considered is the calibration uncertainty of the load cell of the universal tester since the same instrument was used throughout.
Uncertainty in Load Cell
The calibration certificate for the load cell of the tester states that the uncertainty in measurement, based on a 95% confidence interval, is 0.42N plus 0.1% of the reading.
Hence the uncertainty in the force measurements is as shown below.
Standard Uncertainty in Force Measurement (N)
The two sources of uncertainty are now combined, to give the overall standard uncertainty for each measurement, by taking the square root of the sum of squares.
Combined Uncertainty as Percentage of Measurement
As a percentage of the measured value the standard uncertainty is similar across the measurement range. It would be legitimate to adopt the practice, in this case, of reporting the uncertainty for measurements in the range 50 to 200N as 2% of the value. The 95% confidence interval would be 4% of the value.
The procedure being used is a simple mercury/tungsten light fastness test such as BS 1006. The equipment is fully controlled as specified by the supplier and all of the requirements of the standard with respect to checking the equipment, lamp lifetime and humidity control are rigorously applied.
This means that the equipment introduces no uncertainties of significance since the controls required by the standard will ensure this.
The only uncertainty in measurement which remains is with respect to estimates of the colour fade made with a grey scale, effectively the intermediate precision.
Overall Uncertainty
The laboratory will need to have a programme to ensure that grey scale and similar estimations are being carried out with consistency and within controlled limits. This would produce data as shown below. The standard deviation for determinations by each technician and for measurements over the year are shown. From the range data it can be seen the laboratory can legitimately claim that the maximum range of any estimate covers no more than half a grey scale unit, i.e. ±0.25. this would be a reasonable estimate of the uncertainty in any light fastness measurement.
Clearly uncertainty for measurements such as grey scale evaluations are not susceptible to the same kind of statistical analysis as instrumental measurements. ISO 17025 is still satisfied, however, since it requires an appropriate estimate of uncertainty and, in particular, a demonstration that the laboratory has considered all potential sources of uncertainty and arrived at an estimate of the main contributions

The Texas Longhorns have been a dominating presence in recruiting in the Lone Star State in 2009, with 12 of their 19 commits ranking as four-star prospects from Texas, and almost of all of those being regarded as state top 25 prospects.Yet if there's been one extremely disappointing aspect of the recruiting class, it centers on the fact that they haven't been able to land either of the two elite safety prospects that exist in this year's in-state class.Even more frustrating is the fact that the Longhorns never seemed to have a shot with five-star playmaker Craig Loston of Aldine Eisenhower, who ranks as the nation's No.1 safety prospect. From the very beginning of the process, Loston just never seemed to have any kind of real interest in Texas.Until now.For the first time in his recruiting process, Loston seems to be opening up to the idea of playing in Austin, even if he is still officially committed to Clemson. The moment when things appear to have taken a turn for the positive for the Longhorns occurred last weekend when Loston visited the 40 Acres, along with his mother, for an unofficial visit."My pastor is cool with one of the coaches and he asked my mom if I could take a visit for him," Loston replied on Tuesday evening via text message when asked how the visit came about. With the visit, a couple of questions are obvious. First, are the Longhorns suddenly a player in his recruitment? Second, how did the visit go? Third, is Loston planning on making a return visit?"Yeah, I'll say they are in the mix. I really like Maddog (Jeff Madden)," Loston texted. "(My mom) liked everything about it. I'll be going back for a game."When asked if the image that he'd had over Texas had changed in light of the recent events, Loston played it coy."I don't know, we'll see," he replied.Finally, I asked him if there was a key factor that might either make or break Texas when an ultimate decision will be made, Loston texted, "Nothing really. They have a chance like everyone else." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

COVINGTON -- Superior Court Clerk Linda Hays said records related to passport fees retained by her office are confidential and/or have been destroyed.
A letter delivered to the Citizen on Friday from Hays states, in part: "As a certified passport agent, I retain copies of passport transmittal forms for each passport I process. As provided by the Passport Agent Resource Guide provided by the Passport Services Office, these records are destroyed after 24 months. Since these records contain confidential information on passport applicants, the confidentiality of these records is protected under the Privacy Act of 1974 ... "
Hays supplied one form, a report submitted to the U.S. Department of State Passport Services Passport Application Acceptance Program, which states that the number of passport applications accepted from Oct. 1, 2010, through Sept. 30, 2011, was 1,560. Calculated at a $25 processing fee per passport, that would amount to $39,000 collected in that 12-month period.
The letter was in response to an Open Records request submitted by the Citizen on April 9 requesting that Hays provide documentation showing the number of passports processed by her office during the last five years and the amount of fees associated with the processing of those passports.
Hays stated that she would respond to the Citizen's April 9 Open Records request by April 20. The Citizen ran a story on April 29 stating that Hays had not complied with the Open Records request.
Hays stated that she faxed the information on April 17. When reached by phone on Friday, Hays agreed to a sit-down interview with the Citizen that afternoon. She later delayed the interview and then canceled it, but had the letter, dated April 17, hand-delivered to the Citizen office.
The Citizen has also asked Hays to provide documentation showing how passport fees have been spent.
In a letter sent to the Citizen on April 12, Hays cites a section of Georgia law defining public records as those prepared and maintained or received in the course of the operation of a public office or agency, or items received or maintained by a private person or entity on behalf of a public office or agency.
"My personal records regarding the expenditure of passport processing fees ... are neither prepared and maintained or received in the course of the operation of Newton County nor are they maintained by me on behalf of Newton County," Hays stated.
State law allows clerks of courts to keep the $25 administrative passport fees as personal compensation for doing federal work.
The Citizen filed an Open Records request with Newton County requesting Newton County disclose any records in the county's possession related to passport processing fees collected by the Superior Court Clerk's Office for the past five years.
The resulting report shows passport fees collected from December 2007 through December 2008. The reporting then becomes more sporadic, with reporting for only the months of January, April and May 2009 and January 2010. Asked to provide clarity on why there were gaps of time in the report, County Manager John Middleton stated, "We have fully complied with the Newton Citizen's open record request and provided reports and information as requested. If we did not handle the receipting or disbursement of passport fees it would not be reflected in our records."
At least a total of $55,025 has been collected in passport fees during the past five years, based on the documentation provided by the county.

Wonder what shes trying to hide? Funny how the records have all of a sudden been shredded.
John 3 years, 6 months ago
If this statement is 100% correct. "........these records are destroyed after 24 months. Since these records contain confidential information on passport applicants, the confidentiality of these records is protected under the Privacy Act of 1974 ... ". Then someone explain to me and others how were records found for December 2007, January 2008 thru January 2009 (consecutively), April & May 2009 & January 2010 per the April 30, 2012 Newton Citizen report.
See I was born at night but it wasn't last night.
Ms Hays needs to explain why these records which are much older than 24 months ago & I assume contain the same confidential information were note destroyed. Or was it that someone was very lax in their execution of a position responsibility of seeing these older than 24 month old records were actually destroyed. Or is this some "smoke & mirrors" statement?
What say you?

WOW Wonder when they got destroyed. I mean SPLOST is adding more room for record keeping at the court house. This is why we need term limits on local elected officials. They stay in to long and problems develop. They begin to think they are immune from questions and forget they work for the voters. I for one don't believe her. If i was qualified to run against her i would, just to make sure she has to answer questions about this in the debates.
HonestAbe 3 years, 6 months ago
WOW Wonder when they got destroyed? SPLOST is building more storage space for her. This is why we need term limits for local elected officials. They stay in to long and problems develope. They begin to think they are to good to answer questions to the voters and press. I for one don't believe her and do believe she kept all the $25 fees and just does not want to admit it in election year. I wish i was qualified to run against her just so i could use this in the debates to make her fess up or not answer directly in front of the voters. I.m betting that if she runs she want show up at the voting forums.
Silverbullet 3 years, 6 months ago
I think there is a huge difference between the public having knowledge of the MONIES collected from passport fees and the public having ACCESS to who paid them. This is about the most lame excuse she could have come up with. She can accurately provide the amount of MONEY she collected from them without divulging the names of people who paid the money. Destroyed? Her income tax W-2 forms(and returns) are required to be kept for at least seven years. Why didnt she just look on her W-2 forms for the last seven years and call up the local papers and tell them rather than trying to hide it? It would have gone away in a flash most probably if she hadnt tried to hide it. Is she now suspect of not having the best interests of the people who pay her salary and benefits and who elected her to office at heart? You decide at election time. I guess anyone who throws their hat in the ring next election will beat her if she is arrogant enough to even run.
RobertLee 3 years, 6 months ago
Hey, if you are a State Senator or Congressman, then you need to change this law NOW. How the devil did this ever get started? Allowing a portion of a tax or fee to be paid to an elected official as some strange way of recompense? Please! Government officials are paid SALARIES and that is how they should be compensated. Stop the politics and change the law. No more $25 per passport to the County Court Clerk.
You are free to change their salaries and/or the cost of a passport though. This would stop crazy politics like this from happening.
HonestAbe 3 years, 6 months ago
My goodness, my goodness. Mrs Tatum keeps asking the same questions and Mrs Hayes keeps putting her foot in her mouth in different ways. All these years in office and we find this out about her. She won't fess up and be honest with the voters that put her in office. I believe she kept all the fees just by the way she is avoiding the ORR. I mean it's legal for her to do it under today's law.Can someone please tell me why Middleton was felt qualified to be county mgr? I mean he was quitting the lower level executive assistant position for health reason. Don't speak much for the 3 commissioners who voted to give him the county mgr's job ability to judge talent. Maybe they should leave the countyexecutive interviewing and hiring to proffessional human resourse people who know what they are doing. I wonder if Mrs Tatum would have gotten better cooperation from an elected spokesman like Mrs Morgan? Oh i forgot they took that part of her job away (the 3 commissioners) by a simple 3 to 2 vote because they were scared the voters wouldn't side with them in a referrendum.Of course they had the all to highly paid and powerful county attorney on their side. My, My, My, If it smells bad-it probably is.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- A Mississippi mayor has been indicted for his role in a scheme run by a Memphis educator who helped teachers cheat on certification exams over a 15 year period.
Metcalfe Mayor Cory A. Holmes appeared Monday in federal court in Memphis, Tenn. He was released on his own recognizance. His arraignment is scheduled for July 10 in Memphis.
Holmes' indictment was first reported by WABG-TV in Greenville.
The indictment alleges Holmes paid Clarence Mumford in 2008 to have a ringer take three different exams -- one each in Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee. The ringer had Holmes' Social Security card and paid for the exam with Mumford's credit card.
Holmes is charged with wire fraud, conspiracy and Social Security fraud.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say cars have killed three mountain lion kittens in Southern California in recent weeks - showing the dangers to a population surrounded by freeways and urban sprawl.
The National Park Service says a months-old kitten was struck in Malibu on Jan. 20 and two 10-month-old kittens died on Jan. 31 on State Route 126 in northwest Los Angeles County.
That route links the area to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, where about a dozen mountain lions live.
The area is surrounded by heavily developed areas and major highways.
The park service says 13 cougars have been struck and killed by vehicles in the past 12 years.
State agencies have long proposed building a $10 million tunnel so animals can safely cross under nearby U.S. 101.

White college coeds gang raped in brutal home invasion
Most interracial rapes of white women by black men have the racial identifications of the offender/victim censored by the Corrupt Liberal Media. We know the victims are white here only because of the reaction of the relatives of the black perps to their sentencing.
Although the fact that it was a very brutal, hateful, and dehumanizing gang rape like that in the Wichita Horror was a dead giveaway that this was a black on white crime.. The two white coeds who were abducted after the gang rape are only alive today because of the quick arrival of the police to a nearby robbery investigation. Otherwise they would probably have been murdered like the 4 victims of the Carr Brothers in Wichita.
Three men were convicted yesterday in a rape and robbery home-invasion case in Mission Beach that horrified just about everyone who heard about it.
After two days of deliberations, a jury determined the three gang-raped two 18-year-old women while holding their friends, two men ages 18 and 19, at gunpoint.
"This is the worst sexual-assault case I've ever prosecuted," Deputy District Attorney Patrick Espinoza said outside the courtroom. He cited the number of sex acts and the number of defendants.
Defense attorneys and relatives of the defendants did not address reporters, but family members clearly objected to the verdicts. Some wept in court and while leaving one shouted: "White jury! Everything is white!"
Although the victims are white and the attackers are black, race was not a main issue during the two-week trial. The jury wasn't all white, but it did not include any black members.
Thirty minutes before the students were raped and robbed, the defendants and as many as seven other men met near Belmont Park and robbed three young men on the adjacent boardwalk, according to court testimony.
A third man entered the condo and everyone soon moved upstairs. The women were repeatedly raped and forced to commit other sex acts. One of the women was sodomized and one of the male victims was forced to have sex with one of the women.
Eventually the men did leave, taking cash, credit cards, cell phones, a 37-inch television, an XBox 360 console, video games and DVDs, authorities said. Two of the intruders left with the women, forcing them to walk about a half-block.
The men ran away when they saw police, who were in the area investigating the earlier robbery on the boardwalk.
Another brutal, sadistic, interracial sexual homicide of a white woman
Betty Jane May was found dead in her basement room at a boarding house in Reno. ... Fingernail scrapings and evidentiary swabs from May's vagina and left foot were collected. The swabs tested positive for semen.
The autopsy showed that she was beaten and manually strangled to death. She had also suffered a forceful traumatic sexual penetration not long before her death. The case lay dormant for almost 12 years without leads.
In 1999 DNA testing of the evidence was requested and compared to a blood sample from Mack taken in 1994, when he was charged and convicted of strangling a prostitute, Kim Parks....
Another mystery motive to an black on white murder! What could it possibly be?
Two elderly white women viciously attacked by black thug that they were trying to help.
Kornegay, the director of Rocky Mount's Meals on Wheels, and Eve Beasley, the assistant director, were attacked Thursday. They were preparing meals at Lakeside Baptist Church when, police said, a man entered the kitchen and stabbed them multiple times.
Kornegay, 58, was pronounced dead at Nash General Hospital. Beasley, 60, survived and was listed in serious condition at Pitt Memorial Hospital Sunday afternoon.
Tommy Lee Holiday, 30, faces charges in Kornegay's death and Beasley's attack. A police officer arrested Holiday in an Edgecombe County park Friday morning.
Police said the women were helping Holiday find a shelter when he stabbed them.
Black thug "accidentally" murders white woman by smothering her in a rape
June 13, 2011
Syracuse, NY - A Syracuse man serving up to life in state prison for a 1983 murder of a city woman was properly convicted 23 years after the crime, a state appeals court has ruled. The state Supreme Court Appellate Division in Rochester Friday upheld the 2006 second-degree murder conviction of Edward
Kithcart in the smothering death of Patricia "Barbara" Kilbourne.
Kithcart, now 52, was acquitted of intentionally murdering Kilbourne, but convicted of causing her death during the commission of an attempted rape.

Bob Wagner (left) and Matt Burr sit on the stage at Nectar's in Burlington, where they performed this month with their Pink Floyd tribute band Dark Side of the Mountain. The group plays Sunday in Burlington and Monday in Waitsfield. / BRENT HALLENBECK/FREE PRESS
If you go:
WHAT: Dark Side of the Mountain: A Pink Floyd Tribute
WHEN and WHERE: 9 p.m. Sunday, Club Metronome, Burlington; 8:30 p.m. Monday, The Big Picture Theater & Café, Waitsfield
TICKETS: Sunday, $8 in advance, $12 day of show; 658-4771, www.clubmetronome.com. Monday, $12. 496-8994, www.bigpicturetheater.info.
For drummer Matt Burr, it was the album Animals. For guitarist Bob Wagner, it was Dark Side of the Moon. For both musicians, the songs of Pink Floyd changed their lives.
It really opened my mind to the possibilities of Pink Floyd, Burr, who plays drums for Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, said of his exposure to the 1977 album Animals. He said he later had a magical-mushroom-down-the-rabbit-hole Pink Floyd experience while listening to the bands music. Wagner, guitar player for Kat Wright & the Indomitable Soul Band, similarly gathered high-school friends for a little ride far down the hole to listen to Dark Side of the Moon and watch a film the album is often linked to, The Wizard of Oz.
Burr and Wagner have a few things in common: Both are New Jersey natives now playing music in Vermont who share a love for the veteran British psychedelic/progressive rockers. They have one more thing in common Dark Side of the Mountain, a Pink Floyd tribute band theyve assembled while Burr has a few weeks off from his busy national-touring band.
Dark Side of the Mountain took up residence at Nectars in Burlington for free performances on Wednesdays this month. The project moves upstairs for a paid show at Club Metronome on Sunday, followed by a ticketed gig at The Big Picture Theater & Café in Waitsfield, the mountain town Burr and his newlywed wife, Potter, call home.
The tribute group that includes keyboard player Dan Munzing and bass player Josh Weinstein will be joined by a variety of guests at the Burlington show, including the adventurous keyboard player Marco Benevento as well as Wright (who will also sing at the Waitsfield gig), Josh Panda and Kelly Ravin. No official word yet on whether other members of the Nocturnals will show up at one or both performances; Potter and her band have performed Pink Floyds Time in concert, and the cover to their most-recent album, The Lion the Beast the Beat, bears a passing resemblance to the art work on Dark Side of the Moon.
The guests at last weeks Nectars show included Ravin and fellow Vermont musicians Lowell Thompson and Jake Whitesell, who contributed strong sax on a cover of Fearless. The star of the show was Wagner and his guitar made in Burlington by Creston Electric Instruments. He whipped off several extended solos and led the group through an especially funky version of Another Brick in the Wall.
Fitting with a Pink Floyd-inspired production, the show featured elaborate lighting projected from behind the bar at Nectars. I needed something to take it over the top, Burr said as he and Wagner sat down for a recent chat at Nectars. Lights are synonymous with Pink Floyd. The band members dressed all in white for the Nectars show and performed in front of white sheets draping the stage, further adding to the Floyd-worthy spectacle.
Wagner and Burr talked about how their compatriots in Pink Floyd have shaped the way they approach their own instruments. Its hard to find anything I cant trace back to David Gilmour, Wagner said of Pink Floyds guitarist. Theres no wasted notes. Hes so lyrical.
Burr said Levon Helm, the late drummer for The Band, had a huge impact on him, as did the subtle approach of Pink Floyds drummer, Nick Mason. One thing after another I realize Mason might as well be my dad, Burr said.

With gas prices at record highs, many people are finding new ways to cut costs.
However, you may be surprised that some people are actually spending more, in the video game aisle.
"It's got good entertainment value, a good story line, and good graphics," Gamer Sean Walraven said.
For those who have a need for speed, but don't want to fork over the cash to hit roads. They're getting their thrills and spending their money elsewhere, the gaming aisle.
"We're seeing drastic increases, especially from Christmas season to now. We've been very successful," Jerry Yates with Best Buy said.
Gaming sales are on the rise at Best Buy, thanks in part to several new games that are attracting the attention of both young and old.
Wii Mario Kart, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band are some of the more popular games.
"I think what it is, is the family aspect of it," Yates said. "A lot of the gaming systems are an inexpensive form of entertainment."
A form of entertainment that many say lets them leave their troubles behind.
"People play games because you get to go to a different world. It's not like you're having to worry about gas, you're just there doing your own thing," Katrina McLeod said.
Gamer Cody Jones says rising costs of transportation, food, and everything else have forced him to give up buying CD's and cut back on the fast food, but when it comes to his favorite pastime he's not budging.
"To me there's no decision, gas or video games, I'm going with video games," Jones said.
The NPD Marketing Group says video game sales are up from $839 million in April 2007 to $1.23 billion in April of 2008. That's a 47 percent increase.

Figure 1.
Schematic representation of some of the signaling intermediates potentially involved in regulation of inflammatory response after UUO. UUO induces IL-1β and TNF-α expression, leading to NF-κB activation. UUO also induces both oxidative stress and increased Angiotensin II (Ang II) levels. Ang II also activate the transcription factor NF-κB, both directly and indirectly, by promoting oxidative stress, which in turns activate Ang II by regulating angiotensinogen expression. TGF-β activates NF-κB through I-κB inhibition, a mechanism shared by TNF-α. NF-κB activation concludes in IL-1β and TNF-α expression enhancing NF-κB activation. Also NF-κB controls the expression of genes encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules and iNOS.

BOSTON -- James van Riemsdyk picked a heck of a time to score his first NHL playoff goal.
Just 10 days after celebrating his 21st birthday, the New Jersey native got his Philadelphia Flyers going in the right direction on Friday night as he beat Tuukka Rask with 2:48 left in the first period to cut a 3-0 deficit to 3-1.
The Flyers tied the score before the end of the second period and won it when Simon Gagne scored on the power play at 12:52 of the third in a historic 4-3 win against the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of this Eastern Conference Semifinal at TD Garden.
Philadelphia became the first team in 35 years to rally to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games. Without van Riemsdyk's goal late in the first period, the outcome may have been different.
"It feels great to get a goal like that, especially in a game like this," said van Riemsdyk, the No. 2 selection in the 2007 Entry Draft. "But it was a complete team effort. The leaders led the way and everyone else followed. It was a great team effort and we couldn't be more excited about moving on."
It was the first point of the series for van Riemsdyk, who, much like his teammates, struggled mightily in the early going. But he was the recipient of a lucky bounce in Game 7, as his wrister went off the skate of Bruins defenseman Mark Stuart and through the legs of goaltender Tuukka Rask. It was just what the Flyers needed before heading into the dressing room.
"That's what is great about the playoffs ... you can stink up the joint if that's what you want to call it for the first six, but he played a heck of a game today," Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger said. "He got a big goal for us. Guys can feed off that energy. He has been fairly quiet in this series. To step up and make some plays for us, it was a big boost."
It certainly was, as Scott Hartnell cut the deficit in half just 2:49 into the second period before Danny Briere tied it less than six minutes later.
"We talked about getting a goal before the period ended," van Riemsdyk said. "It was nice for us to do that and get some confidence going into the locker room. We never count ourselves out. We showed some character and kept battling. It definitely felt good to get that goal there."
Perhaps it's a sign of things to come for van Riemsdyk, who will get his first taste of the Eastern Conference Final on Sunday night when the Montreal Canadiens visit the Wachovia Center. After what the Flyers were able to accomplish in Round 2 against the Bruins, there's no reason not to feel as if they can't advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1997.
"We had a lot of confidence in ourselves in this room," van Riemsdyk said. "We knew we could play some good hockey, but we had to step up. You've got to give a lot of credit to the leaders on our team. They did a great job of not letting us quit."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A coroner says an accidental overdose caused the death of a University of Louisville cheerleader in July.
Jefferson County Coroner Barbara Weakley-Jones told media that marijuana, heroin, amphetamine and Xanax were found in 22-year-old Danielle Cogswell's system.
Cogswell was found July 28 in Cardinal Towne, an off-campus student housing complex with ties to U of L.
Police had said previously they were treating the death as a suspected overdose.

After University of Iowa student Brian Engler applied for a gun permit eight weeks ago, the school's associate dean of students told campus police Engler was taking classes part time and that he was divorced.
Despite a federal law restricting the sharing of student information, the UI police passed that information on to the Johnson County sheriff's office, where Engler had applied for his gun permit.
Engler told The Des Moines Register on Thursday that there are two problems with that communication: The information Associate Dean of Students Tom Baker shared with law enforcement ...

Five unsuccessful candidates file complaint in District Court
Published: December 12, 2012
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - The territory's 2012 General Election is headed to court.
More than three months after candidates began raising questions and complaints about how the election was conducted, five unsuccessful candidates from the 2012 election filed a complaint in District Court on Tuesday afternoon.
Senatorial candidate Lawrence Olive, Senate At-large candidate Wilma Marsh-Monsanto, Delegate to Congress candidate Norma Pickard-Samuel and Board of Elections candidates Harriet Mercer and Diane Magras jointly filed the lawsuit.
Each party is acting "pro se" and representing him or herself.
Listed as defendants are the Joint Board of Elections; the St. Croix and St. Thomas-St. John District Boards of Elections, along with their respective chairpersons, Rupert Ross Jr. and Alecia Wells; and Elections Supervisor John Abramson Jr.
At the heart of the complaint are allegations that the defendants violated the federal Help America Vote Act and local laws requiring the use of only voting machines certified by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
"Plaintiffs believe Defendants have infringed upon voters' fundamental right to vote, fair and transparent elections and to equal protection," the lawsuit states. "It is anticipated that voters or other candidates will be similarly aggrieved by Defendants' actions in the future absent injunctive relief."
The lawsuit references a number of sections of five federal and local laws, including federal case law prohibiting the use of ballots that the defendants knew to be "materially deficient" and V.I. Act 7334, signed into law Dec. 28, 2011, which requires the use of only EAC-certified voting machines.
"Plaintiffs have witnessed and decried, at election board meetings, and on public airwaves, prior to the 2012 primary election, misconduct of Defendants that is adverse or contrary to the interests of the public, that is less than a standard of honesty and full disclosure, does not insure the integrity and sanctity of election processes and vote outcomes, that is contrary to the rights if voters are to be respected and protected at all times," the complaint states.
The complaint also alleges that the plaintiffs have witnessed the defendants "trample on the rights of voters" and shown an "unwillingness and inability" to implement best practices to mitigate the exposure of the Elections System "to subversion by fraud, corruption and mistake."
The former candidates also list numerous written complaints and requests for redress that they have filed and, the candidates claim, that elections officials have ignored.
The complaint argues the defendants "are entitled to the award of a new election by default" after the St. Thomas-St. John Board of Elections failed last week to establish a quorum to rule on the complainants' most recent petition Dec. 3 asking for a recount or a new election.
"Based on the above, Plaintiffs believe the legitimacy and integrity of the general election results, in terms of vote tabulation and certification, are cast in serious doubt," the complaint states. "The outcome of the vote tabulation is independently unverifiable and indeterminable as an accurate metric that reflects the will of the voter."
The complaint seeks, among other things, a declaration that the general election violated federal and local law and that the St. Thomas-St. John Board's lack of a quorum to address the recount petition constitutes an "abandonment of post" and thereby denied the plaintiffs due process.
Lastly it asks the court to issue an order "to conduct a new election on a one-page paper ballot, to be counted at the polls on election night, in public view, until all ballots are counted."

Q: During a recent trip to Costa Rica I decided to call my housemate on her birthday. I knew I should have used a calling card, but decided just to make a quick call with my credit card instead. I used one of those 'international long distance' phones that are in hotel lobbies.
So, I made phone call number one. No answer, so I tried to track her down on her cell phone. Call two – no answer. Call number three – oops, wrong number.
OK, here we go. Call number four. Finally, an answer. I sing "Happy Birthday†in Spanish, we have our conversation, and all is well.
Or is it?
I fully expected that the actual conversation was going to cost a fair bit. What I didn't expect was to come back and see that I got charged $43.31 for each of the three calls where I didn't even make a connection.
My credit-card statement has a company called NCIC listed on it. I'm a bit apprehensive contacting them directly for fear that I could get dinged with even more outrageous long-distance charges or hidden charges.
In the end, it cost me $190.49 – that's three times $43.31 for no connections and $60.56 for the one actual call. Can you help me get rid of the extra charges?
— Ian Rosenfeldt
A: It's no secret that calls made from your hotel are more costly. But $43.31 for a call that didn't even go through? Come on.
I've experienced the same thing in Europe, particularly Eastern Europe (my phone bill for two nights in a Warsaw hotel set me back $500 once). It turns out that every call – even the attempted calls, were subject to a ridiculous markup.
Thanks to Poland, I came up with a rule that's served me well on my travels: Don't even look at the phone in your hotel room. Pretend it doesn't exist. (I wouldn't be surprised if some of the more entrepreneurial hotels one day began charging for incoming calls, too.)
Your situation is slightly different, because the hotel had nothing to do with the pricey calls. You were dealing with Network Communications International Corp. of Longview, Tex., which bills itself as the largest privately-owned operator service company in the United States. A look at its rates suggests that your credit-card charges were far too high.
I asked company representative Donna Sumrow to take a look at your record. She did and determined that indeed, a mistake was made when you placed the calls. Network Communications International credited your account for $129.93, leaving you with only a charge for the call you actually made.
So what went wrong? "The technicians are researching that,†Sumrow told me. "They are really not sure.â€Â
Well, I am sure of this – next time you need to make a call, either use a card or get a cell phone. There's only one reason I can think of to pick up an 'international long distance' phone, and that's in a life-or-death-emergency.
Next time, try writing a postcard.

One of the hardest decisions to make when planning your holiday is deciding which island to visit in Hawaii. There are 8 islands in Hawaii and they are all unique and beautiful in their own way, however the most popular islands to visit are Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii (The Big Island). Having been to all the major islands, here are some of my experiences and recommendations to help you plan your trip.
Oahu (The Gathering Place)
Oahu is the busiest island in Hawaii and home to Honolulu, the largest city in Hawaii. Oahu is famous for many sights including Pearl Harbour, North Shore, and the busy Waikiki Beach. The Waikiki beachfront walk is very busy with tourists and is surrounded by hotels, shops, cafes, and restaurants. If your'e looking for a busy city on an island then Oahu is the place for you.
Things to do in Oahu:
Lanikai Beach: This beach is by far the most beautiful beach in Oahu if not Hawaii. Located in Kailua on the east side of the island, Lanikai beach is a quiet beach with soft white sands and clear blue water. It truly feels like paradise here! A must visit for all travellers!
North Shore: If you're looking for peace and quiet away from the craziness of Waikiki then a day trip to North Shore is the perfect escape. North shore is home to the beautiful Waimea Bay, known for it's big surfs. If waves are not your cup of tea then you can head to Turtle Bay where you will find turtles sun baking. For souvenir shopping go to Haleiwa town where you will find many boutique shops selling homemade crafts & gifts. For local eats you must try the shrimp trucks and shave ice in the area. Some popular shrimp trucks are Mackey's Shrimp Truck or Giovanni's Shrimp Truck. For shave ice check out Aoki's Shave Ice or Matsumoto Shave Ice.
Shark Cove: Voted as one of best spots for snorkeling in the world, Sharks Cove is a must visit for those who love snorkeling. Located on the North Shore of Oahu, this area is surrounded by loads of rocks and beautiful marine life. As with all snorkeling spots, make sure you get there nice and early (between 8am-10am) to enjoy the calm clear waters and be able to find parking.
Diamond Head: If you're looking for a good hiking trail then you must check out Diamond Head. The summit trail is around 2.6km and takes around 2-3 hours round trip. Once you reach the top you are presented with beautiful panoramic views of Waikiki and south Oahu. This place can get very busy so get there early to avoid the crowd.
Pearl Harbour: If you're into your movies then you'll probably know the famous Hollywood film "Pearl Harbour" and the incidents that took place in 1941 when the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the US. Today Pearl Harbour is a memorial site where you can visit and read up on the history of the war between the two countries. Be sure to get there early (before 7am) as tickets for the popular Arizona Memorial tour gets sold out very quickly.
Waikiki Beach: You can't come to Oahu and not go to Waikiki, it just wouldn't be complete but chances are you'll book a hotel in this busy area. Waikiki has many shops and restaurants that will keep you busy with shopping and eating. Some popular local eats to check out are Eggs and Things for breakfast and if you love ramen, check out Nakamura. The oxtail ramen is a must try!
Waikele Premium Outlet: Spoil yourself by finding bargains at Waikele Premium Outlets. There are over 200 shops to choose from and you will need to spend at least a day here.
Maui (The Valley Isle)
The second largest island on Hawaii and my favourite of all the islands. Maui is considered the most romantic island by many people because of its calm and relax atmosphere. There are plenty of beautiful beaches and waterfalls to check out as well as the world's largest dormant volcano.
Things to do in Maui:
Haleakala National Park: The main attraction of Haleakala National Park is the 10,000 feet tall Haleakala dormant volcano. The drive up the volcano takes about 2 hours but once you reach the top, the view is spectacular! The best time to be at the summit is sunrise so make sure you start driving there between 2am – 3am.
Road to Hana: The road to Hana is not for the faint hearted. The narrow and winding road is a real challenge, but it's all worth it as there are beautiful beaches, waterfalls, interesting food stores and amazing views awaiting you. I would recommend you take a tour bus to save you from the stress of driving, but if you love a challenge then brace yourself for a bumpy and stressful drive! Some tips if you intend to drive, ensure to leave early at around 7am-8am to avoid the traffic and make sure you drive back before sunset to avoid driving in the dark! The trip to Hana will take you all day so you will want to stop at some of these popular sites: 7 Sacred Pools, Black Sand Beach, Hamoa Beach, Garden of Eden and Halfway to Hana stand for some awesome banana breads!
Molokini Crater: Located just a few miles from Maui, this beautiful spot is a great place for snorkeling or diving. Inside the Molokini area is a whole underwater world of marine animals, coral reefs and colourful fishes.
Kapalua Beach: A beautiful quiet beach great for snorkeling and swimming. This beach is kids friendly and ideal for families to chill and relax.
Lahaina Town: If you're looking for a busy spot for shopping, cafes, and restaurants then Lahaina town is a great place to visit. This historic town was once a whaling village back in the1800's. There are still glimpses of the old Lahaina today when you walk down the busy Front St.
Kauai (The Garden Isle)
Known as the garden island for its beautiful mountainous terrain and canyons, Kauai has been featured in many big Hollywood movies including Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean. Kauai is the smallest island of the major islands and although it's not as developed as Oahu and Maui, it's still one of the most beautiful islands I've been to. Kauai is ideal for those who want a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of Oahu and Maui.
Things to do in Kauai:
Na Pali Coast: There are no roads to Na Pali Coast. The only way to see Na Pali Coast is either by boat or helicopter. However if you're seeking an adventure, you can hike the 17 km Kalalau trail. Whichever way you wish to see Na Pali Coast, the beautiful scenery will blow you away. From hanging cliffs, to green valleys, to caves and beautiful beaches, the list of things to see here is endless!
Waimea Canyon: Known as the Grand Canyon of the pacific, to me this is the second most beautiful site in Kauai and a must do for all visitors! The Waimea Canyon stretches 22km long and up to 1km deep with beautiful red and green colours, the lookout area will present you with amazing views!
Wailua Falls: A short drive from Kapaa, Wailua Falls is located at the end of a winding road and stands 34 metres tall. The waterfall is quite beautiful but you can only view it from the top. There are signs everywhere warning you of the dangers of climbing down so don't do it! If you want to see a waterfall without having to trek for a long period of time than this waterfall is for you.
Tunnels Beach: I love snorkeling and I could not have found a better beach in Kauai for it. Tunnels beach is a beautiful big beach located on the north side of Kauai. The drive can be long and finding parking can be tricky so try and get there early. Once you get into the water you will see beautiful fishes, turtles and large reefs!
Hawaii (The Big Island)
Hawaii is the biggest island and the youngest of all the major islands. The Big Island is made for explorers and adventurers who want to see Hawaii's natural wonders. From the world's most active volcano, to visiting the Mauna Kea summit, to many of the beautiful beaches, to snorkeling with Manta rays. If you're looking for outdoor adventures then The Big Island is the perfect choice!
Things to do on The Big Island:
Snorkel/Dive with Manta Rays: Night snorkeling with Manta Rays is a must do for all visitors to The Big Island. Being up close and personal with these amazing creatures is a once in a lifetime experience. You will be swimming in the dark with lights beaming from beneath the water while Manta Rays swim around you. The atmosphere feels like you're in outer space! (SEE BELOW FOR VIDEO)
Volcano National Park: There are many things to do and see in the Volcano National Park. If you have plenty of time and looking for an adventure then you can hike the Kilauea Iki Trail. If hiking is not your thing, you can still check out the beautiful scenery of the volcano by driving the Crater Rim road. If you don't have time and have money to spend, then a helicopter ride over the volcano will set you back around $500 and will take between 3-5 hours round trip
For more details of what to do in the Volcano National Park click here.
Mauna Kea Summit: The Mauna Kea summit is a dormant volcano that sits 14,000 feet above sea level. This place is great for people who want to do stargazing and enjoy the beautiful sunset views. You can drive up the summit yourself however I would recommend doing a tour as the local guides have proper telescope equipment and a wealth of knowledge on stargazing and the local area.
Mauna Kea Beach: Located on the sunny side of the island in the Kohala Coast, this quiet beautiful beach has soft white sand and is great for snorkeling. I love this beach because it's one of the few beaches on the island that is not man made. If your into golf, you can check out the beautiful Mauna Kea Golf Course located right next door to the beach!
That's all folks! I hope you have found this article helpful in making your decision on which island to visit in Hawaii. Feel free to leave a comment on some of your own experiences in Hawaii. Finally here is a short video of me snorkeling with Manta Rays! Enjoy

Launched in 2011 to bring HCD to the social sector, IDEO.org has completed over 50 design projects with partner organizations, tackling everything from employment and financial inclusion to early childhood development and sanitation. More than 65 percent of the innovations IDEO.org has created are on a path to implementation, and are expected to reach over 25,000 people in 2015.
Inner City Advisors, Winner of Community Impact Award
Oakland-based ICA received the bank's Community Impact Award, which recognizes an inspirational nonprofit organization making significant advancement in transforming life outcomes for people from under-resourced communities on a local, statewide or regional level.
The bank recognized ICA for its work with small businesses in Bay Area communities to fill critical gaps and create a more equitable and impactful economic network. Since its founding almost 20 years ago, ICA has helped to create and retain over 10,000 jobs, contributing services such as entrepreneurship education, management consulting and talent management to urban and non-urban demographics. Each year, it works with 125-150 entrepreneurs who are committed to scaling their businesses and providing opportunity for the people that need it most. In 2013, the ICA generated over $68 million in total wealth for the Bay Area and increased total minority-held positions by 10 percent.

At 85, Jim Nelson can still break his age on the golf course. But while Nelson hasn't lost his golf game, he has lost his club.
"This came as a surprise, no question," Nelson said of the announcement in recent weeks that the club memberships of about 70 golfers were being eliminated at the North Course at Indian Canyons Golf Resort.
Five years after being a completely private club and then transitioning to a semi-private course, the North Course will become a completely public course when it re-opens from overseeding later this month. What once was called Canyon Country Club and was home to ...
