A bit off-topic, but this does seem a pretty active, opinionated, and involved crew so I'll take my chances...
I finally splurged on a Suunto T6. I like it. The one thing I've noticed is that the alarm is nearly inaudible. I do have a bit of high frequency hearing loss, but this is over the top. Working at the computer in a quiet room I couldn't hear it go off. For me, it might as well not be there.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with the model or my specific watch. Anyway, the decisions I'm trying to make...
1) Return it? No. I like it. Even if the alarm is supposed to suck as much as mine does.
2) Return for service? Suunto will take it back and turn it around. If the alarm is faulty, then I'm good. If there is nothing wrong with it, then they may charge me for the hassle (not sure how much).
I've gone to a few spots where I thought I could find a T6 to test alarm, but to date I have not been able to find one to test sound off. Tried a couple of local boutique fitness stores and an REI. So far, no good.
Does anyone know--
-- is there a retailer (greater DC area) that has some demos I can comparison test?

We are Team Green but are really struggling with our boy name. We already have a Darin Phillip and are thinking about going with the D theme if it is a boy.
We were originally set on Dexter Brooks but now we have heard the name Duke (from Guiliana and Bill Rancic) and really like that name too. We are thinking Duke Charles (after my dad). I am afraid it could become too popular because of it being a celebrity baby name. I do not like extremely popular names. I am also a fan of Jensen Thomas but I am having a problem getting my husband on board with that one.
For the record, we know that Dexter is a fictional serial killer in a book and tv series and do not care about that. I think that will be long forgotten in a few years.
Thanks for the input!

The stars in Bono and Jermaine Dupri's all-star remake of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" are multiplying.
Staind singer Aaron Lewis, P. Diddy and Nelly Furtado are among the musicians who have joined 'NSYNC, Britney Spears, Destiny's Child, Alicia Keys and others in recording the benefit single, which will be released on World AIDS Day December 1, Dupri's spokesperson said Monday (September 10).
Lewis was in New York's Battery Studios on Wednesday, along with rapper Nelly, Gaye's daughter Nona Gaye and previously reported performers Wyclef Jean, Christina Aguilera and No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani.
The Roots' ?uestlove laid down drum tracks on Wednesday, and Bono recorded the first of two days' worth of vocals. Dupri is producing the "We Are the World"-like song, which will raise money for AIDS research.
On Friday, after a day off for the MTV Video Music Awards (see "Britney, J. Lo, 'NSYNC Turn To Jungle, Ja Rule, Jacko For VMA Performances" ), Furtado, Backstreet Boys, Lil' Kim, Mary J. Blige, Eve, Nas, U2 bassist Adam Clayton, R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe and Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes joined Dupri in the studio.
P. Diddy put his Bad Boy touch on the song on Saturday, Dupri's publicist said.
Marc Anthony and Maxwell will contribute by recording vocals elsewhere and sending them to Dupri, who will also host last-minute recording sessions for the single this week with Fred Durst, Jennifer Lopez and Jagged Edge.
Bono is organizing the project, which he is calling Artists Against AIDS Worldwide (see "Britney, 'NSYNC, All-Star Lineup To Record Marvin Gaye Classic" ).
The Global AIDS Alliance originally asked Bono and Wyclef Jean to record the song; however, Bono had other ideas.
"I just thought, you know, we're the usual suspects. Don't come to us. We're too right on," Bono said backstage at the VMAs. "Go raid the pop charts. Go ask Britney Spears. Go ask Jennifer Lopez. Go ask 'NSYNC. Go ask the rappers,
the hip-hop guys like Ja Rule or Nelly or DMX. In fact, [they] made me go ask them and I did. They all agreed and we've got like 25, 30 of the most extraordinary people on this record now.
"I'm very proud of it," he added. "I think the record is going to work out great. I think it's going to be a big hit single this Christmas."

The use of physical restraint on children was on the rise in secure training and young offenders centres, figures in 2009-2010 revealed.
Youth Justice Board (YJB) statistics, placed in the House of Commons library, show that for the three months between April and June 2009 restraint was used 535 times in England's four secure training centres. A similar pattern is also evident worldwide.

Yesterday's theme was potential Yankee targets signing with other teams, including a couple of potential interim third basemen in Eric Chavez and Jeff Keppinger. That's left the board pretty thin as the Yankees look for someone to fill in for Alex Rodriguez, and apparently they don't want a repeat of that, to say the least. According to Bryan Hoch, the Yankees have made Kevin Youkilis an offer of $12 million for one year, which jives with the "premium salary" he was supposedly looking for in exchange for a one year deal. That's pretty strange, I guess, but the Yankees desperately need someone to plug the hole at third base, and if they're going to insist on signing nothing but one year deals, they're going to have to lay out more dollars for anyone but true scrap heap projects. I'm not terribly wild about Youkilis at this point in his career, but the alternatives are slim, and not overpaying anyone in 2013 likely means having too many holes to win the remarkably deep American League East.
9 thoughts on "Yankees have made a big offer for Youkilis"
I'm OK with a one year overpay for virtually anyone. Even Youk. Would love to see him booed in Boston.
Next year, it's all Charlie Brown "I GOT A ROCK" time.
Youkilis will be OK as a one year stop gap if he can stay in one piece. Problem is that they lost their LH insurance policy when Chavez left. I'm now wondering if the Yankees will indeed take a flyer on Chone Figgins. There isn't a lot out there unless there's trade about to be sprung.
I'm not prone to saying alarmist things like this, but I seriously might give up my ticket package if the Yankees sign Youkilis. I simply cannot stand that guy even if he's not on the Sox anymore. I'm so frustrated with management right now. Austerity is the solution to our problems! I think Congress is secretly running the Yankees.
"I think Congress is secretly running the Yankees." If that were really the case, we'd sign Hamilton, Greinke, and Bourn, and try to lure Sandy Koufax and Ron Guidry out of retirement.
Really? I love the guy as a competitor (and thus hated him on the Sox). Plus, he's the Greek God of Walks Who's Actually Jewish. Plus, he looks like the Golem! Plus, this would be another in a long line of ex-Sox coming to the Yankees (The Babe, Ruffing, Lyle, El Tiante, Boggs, Clemens, Damon) who will just torment the Red Sox and their noxious fans. I so, so hope he takes the Yankees offer.
I can think of no worse potential Yankee than Kevin Youkilis – the bad guy from Rookie of the Year.
I'd like it – if only for the shots of the dugout with Youk sitting next to Joba. ;D
Joba would launch a 95+ mph fastball at Youk's ugly mug from the media crowd during the introductory press conference.
My question is would Joba buzz him in a split squad game?

Residents raise issues during town hall meeting
February 10, 2010
FORT DRUM, N.Y. - A Fort Drum information and town hall meeting took place Jan. 13 at the Commons, designed to keep Soldiers, Family Members and other community members informed on a variety of topics.
For the benefit of those who could not attend, questions raised during the meeting and answers given are as follows:
Issue: Additional evening vaccine clinic
In the past, MEDDAC has offered evening vaccine clinics for H1N1 and flu vaccinations. However, there are no additional evening clinics scheduled now that there is an ample supply of these vaccines. Providing additional evening vaccination clinics would be beneficial to Family Members and Soldiers who work during the day.
An evening H1N1 Flu Clinic will be held at Guthrie Clinic on Feb. 9 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. Patients will be seen on a walk-in basis. There is also a daily walk-in clinic from 7:30 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Guthrie.
In addition, Jefferson County Public Health offers evening H1N1 flu clinics throughout the community that anyone can access at no cost. Details can be found at http://www.co.jefferson.ny.us/jefflive.nsf/Flu_Finder#home_0_0_0.
Issue: Reduced recycling in housing
The monthly housing newsletter contained new guidance on recycling in the housing area. It appears that there are significantly less items that can be recycled (i.e. glass, plastics, cereal boxes). Not being able to recycle a large number of materials increases our imprint on the environment.
Fort Drum Mountain Community Homes follows the published guidance on recyclable materials. If any changes are made, we will be sure to communicate that with residents. Residents with concerns and questions are encouraged to contact their community center.
Issue: Safety and DWI awareness and marketing
Safety and DWI awareness is an important issue for the community. However, incidents are no longer published in The Mountaineer, and it appears that there needs to be a stronger marketing push to deter these DWI incidents. Specific areas that could be explored include producing a large sign over the gate for motorists as they are leaving the installation; including DWI deterrent messages on marquee signs, Commissary and AAFES grocery bags; etc.
Safety continues to pursue resolution to this issue that involves multiple agencies and directorates. We will continue to reinforce the dangers and implications of driving while intoxicated to our Fort Drum community so that we all can live safely.
Issue: Pine Plains child care on-site cost
Recently the Pine Plains CYS on-site care began charging. While it was expected that a charge would soon be enacted, no one expected such a steep charge. This facility is not equipped to change diapers, feed children, or even walk children to the restroom. However, parents are being charged $3.50 an hour, like another fully equipped facility would charge.
This program was started to increase morale and increase opportunities for spouses to get healthy and stay healthy. Many Families cannot afford this expense. Many Families will not, seeing as they are interrupted two or three times to tend to their children.
If there must be a fee, isn't there any way to reduce the fee, considering standard services are not rendered here'
The program CYS Services provides at Pine Plains Physical Fitness Center is called Kids On Site care. Fort Drum CYS Services follows all current guidelines concerning this program per Army Regulation 608-10. Due to limited resources at Pine Plains PFC, CYS Services cannot provide diaper changing or toileting. However, the Army has funded Fort Drum for an additional child care facility to be co-located at Pine Plains PFC to begin construction in FY11.
The CYS Services KOS is an hourly program. CYS Services program fees for hourly care directed by DoD and DA are $3.50. Hourly care programs must recoup 100 percent of the operating cost from fees.
Families who qualify for Army Family Covenant benefits can use this service as well. Categories under AFC include: Warrior Transition Unit, deployed, rear detachment and fallen Soldiers. All of these categories receive a certain amount of free hours per month and $2 per hour thereafter. These free hours could be used for the Pine Plains child care.
For more information, contact CYS Services Parent Central Services at 772-8675 or www.drummwr.com and follow the CYS Services link.
Issue: Street lights on Lewis Avenue
Street lights on Lewis Avenue have been out for some time now. Having these inoperable may cause a safety concern for those walking up and down the road, as well as motorists.
Repairs are currently under way and will be completed within two weeks. We thank you for your patience as we continue to perform these repairs.
Issue: Community bulletin board at PX
Before the Main Post Exchange was renovated, there was a community bulletin board available to patrons located next to the main entrance. This bulletin board was available for individuals to post items for sale, information and fliers. Reinstalling this community bulletin board or relocating to a high traffic location would be beneficial for patrons looking to showcase items for sale and information.
As use of bulletin boards dropped, it became apparent people are using the many other options they have online. There is also The Mountaineer on post, where ads can be placed. The use of bulletin boards these days is so minimal that even grocery stores have started removing them.
Bulletin boards have a high cost associated with them as well. The limited benefit does not support the cost, which includes the initial purchase; the cost for someone to maintain them and perform the administrative duties, as well as handle customer issues that arise due to ads being taken down, put up without permission, removed by other customers, etc. In addition, these become eyesores and detract from the appearance of any location in which they are placed.
Issue: Treasurer training classes
Mobilization and Deployment offers informal fund training and family readiness group leader training; however, it does not go into detail (or give) step-by-step instructions on how to perform treasurer duties for volunteer treasurers. Many of our volunteers do not have accounting backgrounds, and there is no step-by-step instruction on how to be a treasurer at Fort Drum.
The ACS Mobilization and Deployment coordinates the informal funds class with a subject-matter expert instructing participants. During this class, a sample monthly treasurer report and an audit form is reviewed with students.
There are online self-help accounting / bookkeeping sites, such as www.energizeinc.com/art/aselh.html "The Treasurer's Report from Self Help Accounting; A Guide for the Volunteer Treasurer." We will include these web site resources in future informal funds classes.
Issues and concerns addressed during Fort Drum information town hall meetings are entered into Community FIRST, a program of Customer Management Services. For more customer service issues and concerns, contact Elizabeth DeJesus Cintron, Fort Drum customer service officer, at 772-9970 or email@example.com.

NoviStretch Presents Corvette Forum's Cleanest Cars
Nothing's more effective at showing your Corvette pride than a clean car. Extremely clean, freshly detailed Corvettes are dead-sexy. When a Corvette is surgically clean, there is nothing — not even a speck of dust — between your eyeballs and those seductive lines, and that's hot.

Marrying a Gay Man for a Green Card Apparently Not That Awesome
TV lied to us!
It's sort of a pat fantasy: You're a straight woman, your gay, expat friend needs a green card to stay in the country, you figure, "Hey, why not get married? I love spending time with this guy and somebody needs to clean my apartment." It's straight out of Will & Grace. But for 31-year-old Samina Khan, the situation didn't run as smoothly as it did for Jack and Rosario, mostly because Khan didn't know she was married to a gay dude.
"It was completely miserable," she told the Post, of her marriage to Pakistani Farrukh Khan. "Clearly he just did this for the green card." Here were her clues:
• The day after they were married, Farrukh started to "just ignore her."
• Farrukh had claimed to be a "network engineer" with a high salary, but didn't contribute financially to their relationship and appeared actually only to work at a restaurant.
• Farrukh forced the couple to live with his also-married male best friend, with whom he shared clothes, food, expenses, a commute, and suspiciously long work hours.
• Also, for the entire seven months of their marriage, Farrukh and Samina did not have sex.
• Then she saw him making out with his male friend in her car.
Now, had he just told her he was gay from the get-go, the whole annulment awkwardness could have been avoided in the end! The situation, instead, would have been a rip-roaring good time, with lots of pithy one-liners, pratfalls, and the occasional celebrity cameo when things got desperate. At least, that's what TV has taught us. As for what's supposed to happen to the other guy's poor, unsuspecting, wife: Well, TV has given us no pat story line for her, so that basically just sucks.
Woman: I was hoodwinked into marrying gay man who needed green card [NYP]


text: So... it wasn't set in stone but it was a name that I really liked and my cousin, of all people, decided that she is going to use it for her daughter. I am due first but if I were to go ahead with it I would probably look like the bad guy since most people don't know that I liked it first and that we had talked about it together. Now I really need help! I am due in 3 weeks with my 3rd child, a girl! She will join a brother Tanner and sister Avery. Any name suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've listed a couple that we like below. Thanks in advance!!

The human touch
What can make you feel better about your chaotic life? Realizing that even Wegmans isn't perfect. In the bathroom at the Dick Road Wegmans the other day, a boss was instructing an underling on unlocking the cabinets. "We had to replace all the locks because someone lost the keys," the boss said, adding that the same thing had happened with the shopping carts outside. Ha, ha! Not only that, but we were charmed to find, at that Wegmans, the kind of impromptu markdown you used to find at Jubilee, with Magic Marker writing on a piece of white paper. You never see that at Wegmans! The special was for sparkling water, 99 cents. Complete with "While Supplies Last."
Frozen treats
So what if your teeth are chattering? You can still laugh. On one zero-degree night, three people were skating on the Fountain Plaza rink. (This being Buffalo, you knew there would be somebody.) A friend came home that same night to find a skunk on his doorstep, apparently hoping to come in from the cold. There was the joy of waking up to a forecast saying, "Seven degrees, feels like 8 below." And at the Ice Wine Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, tasting the wine was almost as much fun as watching the people not dressed for the weather. One young gentleman was jumping up and down buying tokens while wearing a thin windbreaker. He said, gesturing to the young woman he was with, "She didn't tell me it was outside." Everyone else, in furs and down jackets, was laughing. It looked like a first date. We don't think there will be another.
Bridesmaid revisited
Ladies, alert: The History Museum's Connie Caldwell is going around popping the question: Do you have a dress to donate to "Always a Bridesmaid," the museum's upcoming bridesmaid gown exhibit? Hmmm. Buzz has a dress we wore once as a bridesmaid. But we actually like the dress. And so we hesitated on our answer. One who did not hesitate was Broadcasting Hall of Fame member Doris Jones. "Oh, honey," the elegant, oft-married Miss Jones demurred. "I'm always a bride, never a bridesmaid."

Downgrade iPhone/iPad Apps [HowTo]
Sometimes updating an app doesn't exactly mean it's going to be better. Sometimes you actually realize that the new update is buggy and not worth having, so you want to go back to the previous version.
At first this might seem hard to do, but it's not! You just have to make sure you did not sync your iDevice to iTunes after you upgraded the app you want to downgrade. If you did, then this won't work anymore for you, unfortunately.
Downgrading Apps on iTunes
- Step 1: Delete the app you want to downgrade from your iDevice.
- Step 2: Connect your iDevice to iTunes using the USB cable. DO NOT LET IT SYNC!
- Step 3: Click on your iDevice's name and head to the apps list. Click on Install next to the app you want to downgrade.
- Step 4: Click on Apply on the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
That's it! The app should now be downgraded.
Remember that if you upgrade an app and sync your iDevice to iTunes after you've done so, you won't be able to downgrade it anymore. This happens because before you sync your iDevice with iTunes, it will only have the older version of your apps saved. This way you can install those versions until you sync the new ones.

Help Defense - Chad Wiedmaier Feature
Fields Of Growth Equipment Drive At Princeton-Cornell Game
The green appears to be a little faded in the far background, as it heads from the top of the mountain into the valley.
In the foreground, the green is much sharper, darker, like a lushness after a long period of spring rain has ended.
Looking front to back, the green appears to go for miles, straight up and straight out, until only a hint of gray sky can be seen above.
The topography and color suggest Ireland, or possibly even Hawaii. In reality, this green is in neither place.
No, this is the Central African nation of Uganda - or at least in a picture from Uganda.
Every place in the picture that the eye goes, it is met by one shade of green or another. Every place, that is, except for the very front, where there is a bright orange, with the words "Princeton Lacrosse" visible across the front of the tank top being worn by Chad Wiedmaier.
He wears grayish shorts and no shoes or socks. His left hand is on a cross beam, his right hand at his side, as he pauses and smiles at the camera. Then, presumably, it's back to work, back to construction, back to putting a roof over a family's head - and then off to the next family and the next roof.
It's a much different green - an artificial one - that sits literally halfway around the world and figuratively about 100 worlds away. This green is on the campus of Harvard University, a place where only the luckiest of the lucky will get to study, to perform, or, in Wiedmaier's case on this day, compete.
The green below his feet now is in a video clip. He wears orange again, and again it says "Princeton" across the front. His formerly bare feet are wearing black cleats, and those black cleats are now flying down the far side of the field.
As he runs, he has his left hand on his lacrosse stick, his right hand in the air, directing teammate Derick Raabe down the middle. In seconds, he has gotten the ball from his own crease, across midfield and now into Raabe's stick. A second after that, it's in the back of the goal.
On Fields of Growth and fields of lacrosse, Chad Wiedmaier is making a huge difference. And the two are not unrelated.
"Chad Wiedmaier," says Sam Otoa, the Director of Games Administration for the Uganda Lacrosse Union, "is a very selfless person with a very big heart."
In the past 10 months, Wiedmaier has gone to Uganda for four weeks, come back to Princeton University to be a senior lacrosse captain - and to help a 10-year-old boy get through his mother's death - and once again shown himself to be one of the very best defenseman in college lacrosse.
"He's a wonderful human being," says Princeton coach Chris Bates. "He's different than the other guys. There's nothing wrong with being a Wall Street guy and taking that career path, but Chad has a different calling. He's a young man who understands the privilege he has and wants to give back."
Wiedmaier's trip to Uganda was with the organization Fields of Growth, run by former Notre Dame assistant coach Kevin Dugan. Fields of Growth has helped develop the sport of lacrosse in Uganda to the point where the country has been granted membership in the Federation of International Lacrosse and hopes to compete in the 2014 World Championships in Denver.
Beyond just the lacrosse, Fields of Growth is also committed to improving the educational and economic opportunities for the Ugandans. To that end, the organization has built schools, raised money and formulated a plan to bring sustainable economic independence to several villages.
"Chad has very high energy," Otoa says. "He did everything he could to communicate with the players, which was not an easy thing to do. His enthusiasm, friendly and open persona and patience made him very popular with the players and many people he met on his trip, on and off the field."
For Wiedmaier, the trip to Uganda was more than just a four-week pseudo vacation to a place he'd never been before.
It's had a profound effect on him, as a person, as a student, as an athlete. His outlook has been shaped by his experience with Fields of Growth, and it's given him a renewed sense of obligation, and of appreciation, for what he has here in the United States and at Princeton University.
Wiedmaier's final season in lacrosse has been extraordinary, even by the standards of a player who has been first-team All-Ivy League each of his first three seasons and who was the seventh pick in the 2012 Major League Lacrosse draft. Beyond that resume, he has upped his game to a new level as this season has gone on.
During the last few weeks, he has played as well as any player at any position in college lacrosse, and he has been the backbone of a defense that ranks third in Division I, allowing 6.7 goals per game.
He has played with ferocity, and he has been everywhere on the field. He is fifth in Division I in caused turnovers per game, and he has routinely wiped out the opposing team's top scorers.
"He's really evolved as a more compete defenseman," Bates says. "He's a great sliding defenseman. He gets a ton of ground balls. He's ultra-competitive, and his motor is always running. He's an exceptional cover defenseman. We're spoiled as a result. We always have confidence in his matchup. It's like having a great cover corner in football. It affects the rest of what we can do."
Watching Wiedmaier this season, it's easy to see his play as an extension of his experience last summer.
"It's hard to tell people how lucky you are, to go to a school like Princeton, to be on a team that a million people would want to be on, to play a sport for fun in such amazing venues," Wiedmaier says. "You can tell people and they can know it, but you need to see how the rest of the world is, to see what their life is, their daily life, that you have so many things that make your life so much easier, that you have so many opportunities that so many other people don't. It's made me come back and say that I'm not going to complain about anything for one second. It's given me a better perspective on things. I'm really lucky to be where I am. I will never feel entitled or arrogant."
What he saw in Uganda, and the people he met there, are never far from him now that he's back in Princeton.
"What has been special about Chad and his involvement is that it has been sustained and continuous," Dugan says. "He has stayed in touch with his friends in Uganda, and he has continued to support the program. Some volunteers get an initial rush from the service, and then they come home and it slowly fades. Chad has transcended that. I think in part it's a result of his social justice education at Delbarton and Princeton. It's in his blood."
Wiedmaier's trip to Division I lacrosse wasn't much different than that of so many others who came before him.
He was born in California and lived in Colorado until he was seven, and he moved to New Jersey when his parents got divorced. He was a hockey and football player as well as he grew up, but he can trace to second grade the game and position he now plays.
"There was a kid in my brother's grade, a year above me, and he had a long pole," Wiedmaier says. "He'd hold it straight up in the air and run down the field, holding it over his head. I thought that was so cool. I got a long pole after that. I never cut the shaft. I refused to cut it, even though it was way too big."
He attended Delbarton, the New Jersey lacrosse powerhouse that has produced so many great players, and he began to open eyes in his own right.
Eventually, his college choice came to Princeton or Georgetown, and he decided to follow Delbarton alums like Dan Cocoziello and Jack and Chris McBride to Princeton.
"Cocoziello was my idol," he says. "I remember watching him and thinking that I wanted to be able to play like him one day."
Wiedmaier became an immediate starter at with the Tigers, as well as a first-team All-Ivy and second-team All-America pick as a freshman, when Princeton reached as high as No. 1 in the polls. A fall knee injury cost him the first six games of the spring of his sophomore year, but he was still first-team All-Ivy and second-team All-America.
He was first-team All-Ivy and third-team All-America a year ago. Among the highlights of his Princeton career have been his head-to-head matchups with Cornell's two-time first-team All-America attackman Rob Pannell, last year's Division I Player of the Year.
"Chad is an incredibly talented defenseman, and all year I look forward to going against him," says Pannell, like Wiedmaier a finalist for the Lowe's Senior Class Award, which recognizes excellence in the "4 C's" of character, competition, classroom and community. "He is the best of the best at his position, and it has been a battle, but a pleasure, going up against him for the past three years. It makes it that much more fun and challenging when playing against a quick and strong defenseman of Chad's caliber. It has also made the Princeton rivalry even more exciting for everyone with the matchup between Chad and me, and I'm sure that it has made that game more special for both of us as well. The games are always close, and you can usually count on Chad and I having some pretty important battles come the fourth quarter and final minutes."
The summer after his sophomore year, Wiedmaier spent a month in Costa Rica, and it left him wanting to see more of the world, especially in an area where he could make a difference.
Dugan had started the Fields of Growth initiative when he had been in Africa, and he brought some lacrosse sticks with him as a way of trying to make a connection. Wiedmaier saw the Fields of Growth advertisement on Inside Lacrosse, went through the selection process and headed off to Africa in July.
"I was really excited and a little nervous," he says. "I mean, I was going halfway around the world to somewhere I'd never been before. I went into it with no expectations. I was shocked to see how friendly everyone was. When I got off the plane, the first person I saw was a policeman with an AK47. I was a little intimidated by that, but he just waved to me and gave off a friendly vibe."
Through Dugan's original efforts - and those of other players who have made the same trip - lacrosse has grown at an amazing rate in the Uganda. At first, it might have seemed like a bizarre match.
"Outside soccer, rugby, basketball, boxing and athletics no other sport can claim to be popular in Uganda," Otoa says. "Lacrosse came in as a 'new' sport. Many people here are oblivious to the fact that lacrosse has a history of over 100 years. Youth between 15years-25years are attracted to the contemporary image lacrosse in Uganda portrays, and most lacrosse players are between these ages. It was easy to sell the essence of lacrosse to the public here because it is a team sport and it is very similar to popular sports here like soccer and basketball. Soccer is the overwhelming popular sport in Uganda. Many lacrosse players here have a soccer background. With 10 on-field payers, passing the ball, trying to shoot the ball into a goal, it is easy for many players to adapt to such an unheard of sport."
Lacrosse is less than two years old in the country. Already there are more than 300 players on five men's teams and two women's teams within the Uganda Lacrosse Union.
Fields of Growth has helped raise money and get donations of equipment, as well as train the officials and players. This was one of the roles that Wiedmaier filled last summer - and that current Tiger sophomore Tom Schreiber will pick up this summer.
"There were a lot of people who wanted to learn how to play," Wiedmaier says. "People would just show up every day. We had a group of about 40 guys who consistently would play every day. Now that they know that Uganda is in the lacrosse federation, they want to come to Colorado in 2014. They see it as a chance to travel and play a sport they love."
Wiedmaier, in his coaching role, had an immediate impact.
"Thre were some guys who were very decent and could handle the ball," he says. "They're so used to playing soccer, and their idea of how to play was to play like soccer. They'd find open space and throw the ball into it and run to the ball, rather than passing the ball to the person."
While Wiedmaier was there, the federation held something of a national championship with four teams. The team that Wiedmaier coached won.
"They all went nuts," Wiedmaier says. "The first day I was there, it was intimidating. There were some pretty big dudes. Some pretty strong athletes. All of the sudden, I'm their coach. I was wondering why they would listen to me, since they don't know who I am. They came up to me right away and said 'hey coach.' They took it seriously. I've coached so many clinics here where kids are half in and half out. These guys? They wanted to learn absolutely everything. They were so passionate about it."
To help grow the game, the Uganda Lacrosse Union worked on several promotions, including co-ed teams that play without checking and even beach lacrosse (Uganda is a landlocked country).
"The ULU program is just not a lacrosse program," Otoa says. "It has helped players congregate as a tight fraternity from the start which has provided a platform for friendships, learning and character development. This has attracted numerous individuals as it positioned lacrosse in Uganda as a holistic sport that supports athletes in other non-sport life skills, as opposed to other sports that don't necessarily go the extra mile to support their athletes."
The on-field coaching was only part of Wiedmaier's time in Uganda.
"We were helping out with Batwa Development Program," he says. "There's a group of people who have lived in the rain forest for thousands of years. They lived with themselves and nature. Then, because of poachers, Rwanda, Congo and Uganda expelled everyone from the rain forest. For the past 20 years, they've been squatting on land outside rain forest. We've tried to help them to keep their culture but also assimilate. The program finds a family that's the most needy. We built houses with our bare hands. We'd use mud, sticks, bamboo. The main advantage is tin roof. We were able to build a house in a day big enough for a family of six or seven."
And then there is the Princeton Project, which Wiedmaier has led in an effort to enable the locals to provide from themselves, rather than to rely on donations. As part of the effort, the villages would become economically viable, in this case by raising pigs and poultry and by growing pineapples.
As an extra benefit, the project also is an educational one for the school kids, who, by the way, have schools that were built in party by Wiedmaier himself.
"Despite his massive stature he surprisingly wasn't dominating and was very sensitive to the local environment," Otoa says. "He adapted well to the local environment but did not sacrifice his natural, overly enthusiastic and positive self. Many people here describe him as easy to get along with. "
After a month, it was back to the United States, though he has kept in touch on a regular basis with many of the people he met in Uganda.
Back at Princeton, he was ready to help the lacrosse team turn around last year's 4-8 record. He also found that the beloved wife of his coach was losing her battle with cancer, and that 10-year-old Nick Bates needed people to be there for him.
Wiedmaier, along with several other seniors, helped Nick through that time, before and after Ann Bates passed away on Nov. 30, 2011.
"He's been wonderful with my circumstance," says Chris Bates. "He puts his arm around Nick and takes care of him, and Nick knows he's looking after him. He's a great player, but he's an even better person. I couldn't be more proud of him. He's a member of the team, but he's also a friend, and I have a lot of respect for him."
Princeton has done more than turn around last season's struggles, as the Tigers are 9-3 and have clinched at least as share of the Ivy League championship heading into Saturday night's regular-season finale against Cornell and then the Ivy League and hopefully NCAA tournaments.
Wiedmaier is headed for more individual accomplishments - including the likelihood of being the first four-time first-team All-Ivy pick in Princeton history.
His days with lacrosse are not going to be finished when he graduates, or even when his MLL career ends. Wiedmaier's career goal? To be a Division I coach.
That coaching path figures to be much more traditional than the one he found in Uganda.
There are other pictures from Wiedmaier's trip, some that show the construction on the Hopeful School, part of the Princeton Project. One shows him as he celebrates with this joyous team, after they won the first national championship.
There's also one that shows him as he chomps into a sandwich that is dangling from branch, tied to a string. It's a contest, apparently, between him and a young boy, probably to see who can eat the sandwich fasted without using his hands or having it drop.
Behind him, there are only smiles, as a crowd of about 25-30 watches. Someone holds up a really young boy, probably 3 or 4, and he is smiling ear-to-ear. All the way in the back stands a very tall adult, with a smile to match that of the young children.
Next to Wiedmaier, his much smaller opponent looks up at his sandwich on the string and then, beyond that, to Weidmaier. Because of the way he is straining up to get to the bread, Wiedmaier's neck and shoulders bulge out from the blue tank top he wears. He is ripped. To his young opponent, Wiedmaier must look like a giant.
A giant, that is, who made this long trip to his country - a trip that almost nobody who has ever attended schools like Princeton or Delbarton ever will - to help in any way he could, and as it turned out, there were all kinds of ways in which he did.
And how is it possible to sum up the impact that he had there? Beyond lacrosse, obviously.
Well, there is this picture, the one with the sandwich game, the one with the young opponent, who is half trying to chomp on the bread and half looking up in awe at the giant, looking at a person who gave so much of himself, all in the name of simply helping out.
That little boy can live to be a hundred years old.
He'll never forget Chad Wiedmaier.

More and more carbon nanotube (CNT) applications are moving from the research lab into commercial products. For example, CNTs can be found already in tennis rackets and bicycles, displays and TV screens, and numerous resins used by aerospace, defense, health care, and electronics companies. Not surprisingly, CNT production is growing by hundreds of metric tons a year. One of the large suppliers alone, Bayer, is talking about having 3,000 metric tons of production capacity in place by 2012. As a result of the increasing supply, prices are dropping fast. While a kilogram of multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) sold for tens of thousands of dollars just a few years ago (and single-walled CNTs still do), the price for some types of MWCNTs has fallen to hundreds of dollars per kg. Recent market analyses forecast sales of all nanotubes to reach $1 billion to $2 billion annually within the next four to seven years. In terms of dollar value, electronics devices will be the largest end-use category, although composite materials in automotive applications may account for greater volumes. These volumes are expected to approach several thousand metric tons per year. This means that the exposure to CNTs, especially by factory workers, will increase substantially over the next few years. Since the jury is still out as to the toxicity of nanotubes it appears prudent to at least develop suitable sensor technology to detect CNTs, especially in the workplace.Posted: Feb 4th, 2008
The World Economic Forum, whose 2008 Annual Meeting ended on Sunday, has founded the Global Risk Network in 2004 in response to concern that the international community and the global business community were not yet able to respond adequately to a changing global risk landscape. The Program has moved forward in partnership with Citigroup, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Merrill Lynch, Swiss Re and the Center for Risk Management and Decision Processes, and Wharton School. In an increasingly complex and interconnected global environment, risks can no longer be contained within geographical or system boundaries. No one company, industry or state can successfully understand and mitigate global risks. The World Economic Forum, with numerous links to business networks, policy-makers and government, NGOs and think-tanks, is in a unique position to advance new thinking on global risks, to generate risk mitigation measures and to integrate current knowledge on global risks. Over the past few years, the Global Risk Network team has released an annual report. This years' report 'Global Risks 2008' was published two weeks ago. In it, as in previous years, nanotechnology was characterized as a global core risk.Posted: Jan 28th, 2008
Toxicology is an interdisciplinary research field concerned with the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. It applies knowledge, methods and techniques from such fields as chemistry, physics, material sciences, pharmacy, medicine and molecular biology. Toxicology established itself in the last 25-30 years as a testing science in the course of efforts of industrial nations to regulate toxic chemicals. Particle toxicology, as a subdiscipline, developed in the context of lung disease arising from inhalation exposure to dust particles of workers in the mining industry. It later expanded to the area of air pollution. With the rapid development of nanotechnology applications and materials, nanotoxicology is emerging as an important subdiscipline of nanotechnology as well as toxicology. Most, if not all, toxicological studies on nanoparticles rely on current methods, practices and terminology as gained and applied in the analysis of micro- and ultrafine particles and mineral fibers. Together with recent studies on nanoparticles, this has provided an initial basis for evaluating the primary issues in a risk assessment framework for nanomaterials. However, current toxicological knowledge about engineered nanoparticles is extremely limited and traditional toxicology does not allow for a complete understanding of the size, shape, composition and aggregation-dependent interactions of nanostructures with biological systems. An understanding of the relationship between the physical and chemical properties of nanostructures and their in vivo behavior would provide a basis for assessing toxic response and more importantly could lead to predictive models for assessing toxicity.Posted: Jan 18th, 2008
The UK government has published its second research report on nanotechnology risks, outlining progress on its research agenda to address the potential risk posed by the products of nanotechnology. The report places the UK research program in an international context. The Nanotechnology Research Coordination Group (NRCG) is collaborating with international partners, particularly through the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Standards Organization (ISO), to share data and experiences. In this way they hope to be able to maximize the effectiveness and speed with which potential risks may be identified and managed. The report also responds to the recommendations made by the Council for Science and Technology (CST) review (March 2007) on the UK research program and the activities of the NRCG.Posted: Jan 9th, 2008
One of the more interesting concerns of nanotechnology is 'grey goo.' The term was invented by Eric Drexler to describe one of the dangerous issues that must be faced as nanotechnology capabilities evolve. Here's how it works. 1. Pretend that nanotechnology truly exists to the point where we can fabricate machines of arbitrary complexity using individual atoms or molecules. 2. Pretend that these machines have sufficient complexity and computational means that they can make copies of themselves using whatever happens to be lying within their reach. 3. Pretend that their fabrication systems are such that they can make a copy of themselves about once an hour. 4. Pretend that one of these machines decides to do nothing except make copies of itself.Posted: Dec 21st, 2007
As an emerging science, nanotoxicology is expanding the boundaries of traditional toxicology from a testing and auxiliary science to a new discipline where toxicological knowledge of nanomaterials can be put to constructive use in therapeutics as well as the development of new and better biocompatible materials. Until now, though, no one has been able to pin-point which properties determines or influences the inherent hazards of nanoparticles. Now, scientists have developed a framework that can be applied to a suggested hazard identification approach and is aimed at identifying causality between inherent physical and chemical properties and observed adverse effects reported in the literature.Posted: Dec 14th, 2007
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown promise as an important new class of multifunctional building blocks and innovative tools in a large variety of nanotechnology applications, ranging from nanocomposite materials through nanoelectronics to biomedical devices (e.g. gene and drug carriers). The recent rapid development in nanotechnology has renewed the pressing demand for large-scale production of CNTs for potential applications in commercial products. The number of industrial-scale facilities for the increasingly low-cost production of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) continues to grow, and with that the professional and public exposure to MWCNTs is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Owing to their unusual one-dimensional hollow nanostructure and unique physicochemical properties, CNTs are particularly useful as novel drug delivery tools and imaging agents. However, such biomedical, and many other related, applications will not be realized if there is no proper assessment of the potential hazards of CNTs to humans and other biological systems. This situation prompted a group of researchers to carry out the first genotoxicity study of nanomaterials. Although the health effects of nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention, the scientific community has thus far focused primarily on the studies of nanomaterials toxicity at the cellular level. Very little is known about the toxicity at the molecular level, or genotoxicity, of nanomaterials in mammalian cells. Researchers at the University of Dayton have assessed the DNA damage response to MWCNTs in mouse embryonic stem cells (ES). This new work emphasizes the importance of careful scrutiny of the genotoxicity of nanomaterials.Posted: Dec 11th, 2007
Governments always struggle when faced with regulating highly complex subject matters such as nanotechnologies. Primarily concerned with managing the potential risks to the environment, human health and the safety of workers (EHS), regulators often feel overwhelmed by the complexity and novelty of new technologies, stymied by a lack of data, and confused by conflicting research findings and advice from various interest groups. In the meantime, against a backdrop of a legal environment that ranges from gaping holes to regulatory vacuum, research organizations and early-adopting industry players push ahead with the new technology. Not being able to create any breathing room for lengthy political and legal considerations, the last 15-20 years have seen several governments adopting voluntary environmental programs (VEPs), arguing that this is the only viable proportional option for the time being. It is estimated that there are some 300 VEPs in the European Union and over 200 in the United States, dealing with matters such as climate change, energy, waste, water, toxic materials, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, forestry, hotels, hospitals, and financial institutions. If these voluntary programs work is subject to debate - some apparently do, some less so. In the case of manufactured nanomaterials, the risk properties remain largely unknown and it is unclear what exactly should be regulated. For the VEPs that are in place for nanomaterials, governments are urging companies to submit health and safety information on the nanomaterials they produce or commercialize. In order to investigate whether voluntary government programs will be sufficient to ensure the safety of manufactured nanomaterials, researchers have analyzed a sampling of voluntary programs in the fields of environmental health and safety in the United States over the past 20 years, with a view towards their applicability in the case of manufactured nanomaterialsPosted: Nov 29th, 2007

ValueVision International Completes Acquisition Of Montgomery Ward Direct Catalog Operations
Restructured Equity Agreement Simplifies Capital Structure And Reduces Future Stock Dilution
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- ValueVision International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VVTV), the third largest television home shopping network in the United States, today announced completion of the purchase of 100% of the assets of Montgomery Ward Direct, Montgomery Ward & Co., Incorporated's four- year-old catalog business, and the restructuring of ValueVision's equity agreement with Montgomery Ward. Final closing of the earlier announced agreement had been subject to due diligence and government approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.
The direct mail business is expected to add approximately $70 million in annualized sales to ValueVision's revenues.
"ValueVision's acquisition of Montgomery Ward Direct is well underway as we leverage our tele-marketing and fulfillment infrastructure to support the growth of our direct mail operations," said Robert L. Johander, Chairman and CEO of ValueVision International, Inc. "This acquisition has furnished ValueVision with a major presence in the direct mail industry in addition to providing the foundation for the company to continue its direct mail expansion as opportunities arise."
ValueVision has issued approximately 1,485,000 new vested warrants, exercisable at $0.01 per share to Montgomery Ward, as full consideration for the acquisition of Montgomery Ward Direct. ValueVision has received approximately $4.7 million in net assets of Montgomery Ward Direct, including cash and inventories, and the assumption of certain liabilities.
Ad Support Program Expanded / Equity Agreement Restructured
ValueVision and Montgomery Ward have entered into amended agreements to expand Montgomery Ward's advertising support and increase ValueVision's sales promotion rights. The agreements provide ValueVision's cable affiliates a guaranteed $20 million in a supplemental ad support program over five years from the Montgomery Ward TV ad budget. This program will assist ValueVision's affiliate relations department to build program distribution of its TV home shopping network through participating cable systems. As part of these amended agreements, ValueVision exchanged approximately 1,484,000 new vested warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share for 18.0 million unvested warrants from an earlier grant of 25.0 million ValueVision warrants exercisable at prices ranging from $7.00 - $17.00.
In addition, ValueVision has reduced its future stock dilution and simplified its capital structure in a restructured equity agreement with Montgomery Ward. Under the agreement, ValueVision will replace 7.0 million vested warrants received by Montgomery Ward from the earlier grant of 25.0 million warrants. ValueVision will issue 2.2 million new vested warrants, exercisable at $0.01 per share, to replace 4.0 million Series A warrants, exercisable at $6.50 per share, and 3.0 million Series B warrants, exercisable at $6.75 per share.
Following the new agreements, Montgomery Ward's potential ownership of ValueVision, on a fully diluted basis after the exercise of all warrants, would be approximately 6.5 million ValueVision common shares, representing approximately 17% of shares outstanding.

Couple says Nissan they bought was a lemon
Kyla Asbury Aug. 13, 2012, 5:36am
CHARLESTON -- A Kanawha County couple is suing Nissan North America, Inc. after they claim the vehicle they purchased was defective.
On June 9, 2010, Steven McGowan and Judith McGowan purchased a new 2010 Nissan Murano from the defendant in an amount less than $40,000, according to a complaint filed July 27 in Kanawha Circuit Court.
The McGowans claim when they discovered the defects with the vehicle, they returned it to Nissan for repairs on at least eight occasions, but the defendant failed to fix the vehicle's defects.
Nissan refused to replace the vehicle with one of equal value and that conforms to the express warranties as required by West Virginia Code, according to the suit.
The McGowans claim the drive-train, the transfer case and front axles were defective on the vehicle which caused the vehicle to remain out of service for significant periods by reason of repair.
The non-conformities with the vehicle resulted in substantial impairment to the use or market value of the vehicle, according to the suit.
The McGowans are seeking compensatory damages. They are being represented by Steven P. McGowan.
The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Carrie Webster.
Kanawha Circuit Court case number: 12-C-1503
