For more than 40 years, the United States and the Soviet Union stared at each other across a line that Winston Churchill dubbed the �Iron Curtain.� Opposing aims and ambitions between the Soviets and the West kept the world on the edge of real war throughout the Cold War.
The most terrifying aspect of those years was the threat of nuclear war. After both sides obtained �the bomb,� many feared that confrontation would lead to an all-out exchange in which both sides would empty their nuclear arsenals and life as we know it would cease to exist on Planet Earth.
The easing of tensions that came with the collapse of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact was a great relief. But both sides continued to maintain their nuclear arsenals, and nuclear weapons have proliferated around the world.
Some might argue that the United States no longer needs hundreds of intercontinental ballistic missiles housed in silos sprinkled throughout the Great Plains. Nevertheless, it is certain that the weapons intended to protect the U.S. must never be allowed to become a liability.
That makes reports of lax security at missile bases unnerving. Nuclear weapons are the trophy all terrorist organizations seek, and there are lots of reasons this country shouldn�t leave the door open for that opportunity.
Air Force officers tasked with overseeing ICBMs were discovered doing that � literally. Blast doors to underground command posts were left open against regulations. The doors were far from the only defense for these command posts against terrorism. But now isn�t the time to become lackadaisical about security. Although peacetime discipline can be difficult to maintain, this isn�t exactly peacetime.
Terrorists blew up buildings on Sept. 11, 2001. A nuclear weapon would take out a whole city full of buildings. That may be a far-fetched scenario. But the first step toward it becoming reality is dropping our guard.
A version of this editorial first appeared in the Tuscaloosa News, a Halifax Media Group newspaper in Alabama.

Virginia victory would end Hokies' bowl hopes
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Virginia's final game of the season is also the one it wants most to win.
The Cavaliers (4-7, 2-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) play at Virginia Tech on Saturday in both teams' traditional regular-season finale. It has also traditionally been a lopsided victory for the Hokies.
Virginia Tech (5-6, 3-4) has won eight in a row in the series, and 12 of the last 13.
Last season's meeting was viewed as the biggest ever with the Cavaliers in the midst of a resurgence and the winner representing the Coastal Division in the ACC championship. The Hokies rolled 38-0.
"We felt like we were having a good year last year," junior defensive end Jake Snyder said Monday. "We had more wins than we've the last few years, and they came in here and smacked us around."
The Cavaliers finished 8-5 last season, and went to a bowl game for the first time since 2007. Their hopes for making the postseason this year ended last Thursday night in a 37-13 loss to North Carolina.
The Hokies, meantime, barely kept their hopes for a 20th consecutive bowl appearance alive with a 30-23 overtime victory at Boston College. They tied it on a field goal with 1:05 left in regulation.
"This is a very capable football team," said Hokies coach Frank Beamer, who is 16-9 against the Cavaliers. "And of course this is the big battle in the state and we need to get ready."
Five consecutive senior classes at Virginia have left school without ever having beaten the Hokies, and the only game in the last eight that wasn't lost by double digits came in 2008 (17-14).
The Cavaliers, however, insist they are motivated by more than ending the drought.
"The way you end the season is huge for the next season, no matter what it is," Snyder said. "Especially a game like this where it is a big rivalry and it's an in-state game. Not just for us on the team, but as far as recruiting goes and as far as the perception (of the program) inside the state goes.
"We've had a negative image of us for the past 10 years or so because we haven't beaten them."
Or been close.
In the last three years, the scores have been 42-13, 37-7 and 38-0.
Phillip Sims transferred from Alabama after last season, and now shares Virginia's quarterback job with Michael Rocco. Heading into the offseason on a winning note would be "big time for us," he said.
"I think it's more than just the streak we're getting ready for this week. We know we're capable of winning this football game. We've just got to do the things that we're capable of doing," Sims said.
"We've got to prepare this week like this means something."
Rocco, a junior, is certain that won't be a problem.
"It's all about beating Virginia Tech, and I don't know if it's added incentive to beat them just because it would put them out of a bowl game, but it is a big rivalry, so that would be nice," he said.

Medium access control (MAC) resolves contention among simultaneously transmitting wireless nodes so as to utilize the wireless medium efficiently while mitigating interference.To be implementable, the MAC algorithm is required to be totally distributed and simple. In this talk, we will present such a MAC algorithm that is optimal in terms of utilizing medium and thus bringing a long pursued quest (since 1970s) to an end. In this MAC, each node utilizes its local queue-size and recent contention history to make decisions. We will also discuss related issues in stochastic networks. The talk will be self-contained. It is based on joint work with Jinwoo Shin and Prasad Tetali.

New IBM System Networking Innovations Address CIOs' Pain Points
As I meet with CIOs around the world, the key issues they are working to address are invariably similar. Across the board, they are seeking to implement data center solutions that enable scalability, density, simplicity of management and provisioning, IT efficiency and virtualization, enhanced security, big data and analytics and low lifecycle costs. IBM System Networking is introducing a range of innovative new products that address these requirements. With these new offerings, CIOs can:
Scale SAN fabrics for private clouds. IBM System Networking is delivering new, high-performance 16Gbps Fibre Channel storage area networking (SAN) backbone, switch and management solutions designed to help enterprise clients migrate smoothly to private cloud architectures through faster data transfers, fewer links needed to accomplish the same task and fewer devices managed overall, with energy consumption seven times more efficient than competitive solutions.
Increase density and flatten networks. The new IBM Rackswitch G8316 is IBM System Networking's new 40 Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switch with 16x 40G ports to aggregate multiple racks of servers or 64x 10G ports using breakout cables and a powerful control plane for higher performance. The IBM RackSwitch G8316 supports fat-tree networks for higher bandwidth and lower latency, provides an affordable alternative to expensive core switches, delivers predictable low latency through its single-chip design, and enables an end-to-end standards-based integrated solution using IBM switches and servers for easy management and provisioning.
Simplify management and provisioning. A unified management software solution for mixed SAN and FCoE environments, IBM Network Advisor provides greater insight for end-to-end network management to help reduce costs and simplify operations. IBM Networking Element Manager (formerly BLADEHarmony Manager) now includes better integration with Tivoli, topology discovery and support for additional managed devices.
Increase IT efficiency and virtualization. The IBM Networking Operating System (formerly BLADEOS) is a best-in-class data center network operating system for IBM RackSwitch and BladeCenter switches that incorporates the innovative VMready capability with support for the IEEE's Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) 802.1Qbg standard to bring scalable virtualization awareness to the data center network. With VMready, clients can confidently deploy and manage production application workloads in private clouds consisting of hundreds of physical servers and thousands of virtual machines.
Enhance security. IBM iFlow Director is a purpose-built flow distribution system that enables high-performance and low-cost BladeCenter-based appliance solutions. IBM iFlow Director provides flow-based load balancing for security appliances, such as deep packet inspection devices, firewalls and IDS/IPS systems, anti-virus and anti-spyware appliances and lawful intercept devices as well as wireless Internet mobile gateway appliances.
Power big data and analytics. IBM System Networking's top-of-rack, blade and SAN smarter networking solutions deliver the massive amounts of bandwidth required for today's big data systems.
Reduce lifecycle costs by increasing network control and flexibility. Using the OpenFlow-based IBM RackSwitch G8264 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet switch, user-controlled virtual networks are easy to create, optimize performance dynamically and minimize complexity. OpenFlow is a network protocol that has been developed over the past six years at Stanford University. The new OpenFlow solution enables the network administrator to easily configure and manage virtual networks that control traffic on a per-flow basis.
CIOs can count on IBM for smarter data center solutions that address their most pressing pain points. You can learn more about our exciting new IBM System Networking innovations by visiting ibm.com/networking.

|Economy hits renter
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Dear editor,
I write this letter reflecting on how the current economic recession has affected a newer member of your community.
I moved here four months ago and was renting a very nice little house with nice neighbors at a very nice monthly rent. Due to the recession or some other unknown reason, my landlords decided to sell the house that I am currently living. With a buyer lined up, I'll be moving in the near future. The problem is as to where I'll be moving.
There are several very nice homes for sale in Holyoke, as is evidenced in your classifieds, but the pickings are currently very slim for homes available to rent. The choices right now are between affordable yet run-down, or even dirty homes, or nice homes with rent above a teacher's budget.
Looking at homes that are for sale, many of them have been for sale for several months. Some of them have even been sitting empty for that long, which as I am told, is not good for the house.
So, why don't some of these homeowners/home-sellers rent out these homes to responsible tenants (such as a teacher) who would take good care of the house and yard until the recession is over and the home can go back up for sale? This would furnish the homeowner with a reliable income that an empty house does not provide, and would also give the responsible tenant enough time to save enough money to buy a home. It would be a win-win situation for both parties.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
Rise of the Planet of the Apes Synopsis
An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.
The film is a reality-based cautionary tale -- a science fiction/science-fact blend where mankind's hubris leads to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. Oscar(R)-winning visual effects house WETA Digital - employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies developed for "Avatar" - will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors.

In Theaters August 5, 2011

How Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Was Originally Going To End

Mark Wahlberg Discusses Why His Planet Of The Apes Movie Didn't Work
Back in 2001, Tim Burton spun a straight-up remake of the original Planet of the Apes, starring Mark Wahlberg in the astronaut role made famous by Charlton Damn Dirty Apes Heston. It was, as you may recall, not very good. It didnt really improve on the original, and in its attempts to put a new spin on the movies infamous twist ending, it instead wound up being merely nonsensical.

Rupert Wyatt Choosing Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Sequel Over Londongrad
Even at the end of July I never, ever would have guessed that August's big release, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, would go on to become not just one of the summer's biggest hits, but one of it's legitimately best movies, and one that immediately screamed for a sequel, even though its a prequel to one of the most famous film franchises of all time

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Conquers Blu-Ray This December
Did anybody expect Rise of the Planet of the Apes to be any good? I know I didn't. While the newest Apes flick featured a solid cast, including James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, and Brian Cox. Even more exciting was the involvement of motion-capture wizard Andy Serkis in portraying Caesar, the ape whose artificially accelerated intelligence starts all the trouble in the first place. Still...it was Planet of the Apes, not a franchise with an auspicious record in recent years.

Why Prequels Are The New Sequels
For decades, Hollywoods go-to move when it came to extending the life of a popular franchise was greenlighting a sequel. But with lackluster installments like Lethal Weapon 4, The Matrix: Revolutions and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull-- among many, many others-- methodically killing the strategy over the years, something had to change
by Sean O'Connell October 18, 2011 comments
James Franco Was Supposed To Die In Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
Needless to say, the decision probably pays off for Fox, which has a huge hit on their hands in Rise. The sci-fi prequel has earned an estimated $409 million at the international box office, and should command a follow up picture providing writers can figure out how a sequel would fit into the cannon of pre-existing Apes films. And thanks to a last-minute decision, Franco will be able to participate in the ape insanity

Weekend Box Office - Scary Start For Fright Night, Conan Gets Impaled
You can always tell when the end of summer has arrived. Hollywood begins dropping off all the cinematic bombs they knew weren't going to do very well hoping that people tired of seeing major blockbusters for the umpteenth time might just buy a ticket for the sake of trying something different. But that strategy was a no go this weekend as four new comers hit screens. The sound of those suckers bombing in theaters across the country sounded something like a London air raid from World War II.

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Could Become A Trilogy And Stop There
The fact that they've planned for three films is promising, though, indicating that the world established by Rise is also one with a firm end point, and no potential to wander endlessly around mythologies that nobody cares about. Then again, we would have said that about the Pirates trilogy

Andy Serkis Won't Be Nominated For An Oscar This Year, But He Doesn't Need To Be

Weekend Box Office - Apes Rise To The Top
How many monkeys...sorry, apes...does it take to make a Planet of the Apes prequel? About $93 million worth. And that's a small price tag for a movie where a vast majority of the shots include at least one, and often dozens, of CGI chimps, gorillas or orangutans. And it's partly thanks to that relatively modest budget that Rise of the Planet of the Apes can expect to become a profitable movie this summer. The film banked a solid $54 million as the number one entry this weekend.

Chimpanzees are some of the most incredible animals on earth.

But while that may all seem nice, it's probably best if you avoid pissing them off. Just ask the dude in this clip from Rupert Wyatt's Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

"It's a huge responsibility," Laura says. "People just need to know that they are important and precious and cared about and not just a number."
An early calling
Laura describes herself as a natural educator and nurturer – even in childhood. Growing up in a family with four brothers, she found herself often in the role of helping and babysitting. When she was 12, her mother went through treatment for breast cancer, an experience that helped put her on the path toward nursing.
After getting her nursing degree, she assumed she'd look for work in a big city hospital, but ended up returning home for two years to help care for her family after her mother's death. It was a blessing to be there to assist, when her father's health sent him to the hospital in Grand Forks. The professional experience she gained, helped shape her career path for the coming years.
Although she had never anticipated a career in obstetric and gynecology nursing, she learned while working in hospitals in Alaska and North Dakota that she loved caring for women in labor. In January of 1979, she took a job at the clinic where she works today.
"Childbirth is such a miracle and it's such an intimate time for people," Laura said. "You feel so privileged and honored to be with them because it's such an amazing experience."
At Sanford Southpointe Clinic, she split her time between working on the clinic floor and taking phone calls from patients. For several years she worked part-time as a childbirth educator before returning to the clinic to settle into the nursing position where she serves now.
A professional, compassionate voice
Four days a week, Laura joins two other nurses to take phone calls of all types from the clinic's patients. Many of the nurses have worked together over a decade, becoming colleagues and friends while answering questions, ordering lab tests and screening patients.
"People are surprised by how much we do and how much we need to know," says Laura. "It can be teens to women who are 90 years old. You listen and get the information you need to decide what happens next."
When Laura starts her day, she begins with a prayer. The committed Christian says she asks for compassion and the wisdom she needs to handle calls, which could be as simple as a refill notice on a prescription or as complicated as a woman frightened by unexplained bleeding.
"Every day is a good day, because my motto is 'choose joy,'" Laura said. "Some women have lives where they are treated as paper plates. I want to always treat them like they are china."
Improved technology and care
Laura has seen the industry change. Online charting and electronic patient records have replaced the paper files that used to clutter her desk. The medications and procedures have improved at a rapid pace.
The veteran nurse has become the trainer for new nurses who join the phone bank at the clinic. She enjoys mentoring the other nurses and seeing their commitment to patients.
"I'll tell new employees when I'm training them, that there are things that they just need to do the job," Laura said. "If you have the basic assessment skills, a kind, caring voice, and you are a good listener, we can teach you how to do the rest."
After decades of serving patients, Laura said she's still excited to come into work each day. She loves being part of a professional, skilled team that considers caring for patients to be a higher calling, even a sacred responsibility, she said.
"We want to help our patients meet their needs and make them healthy in every way – body, mind and spirit," Laura said. "It's my job to help you live your best life and enjoy the life you have."

UPDATED 4.9.2012 by Julie Montanaro
Former FSU football player Tamarick Vanover entered a plea in court this morning that will spare him a felony record.
Vanover was initially charged with felony aggravated battery on his pregnant girlfriend. Court records show that charge was reduced to misdemeanor battery as part of a plea deal.
Court records show Vanover entered a no contest plea to battery this morning. He was sentenced to one year on probation and ordered to attend anger management classes.
The judge allowed peaceful contact with the victim. Prosecutors tell us the couple is still together and she has since given birth to the couple's child.
UPDATED 12.20.2011 by Julie Montanaro
Former FSU standout and pro football player Tamarick Vanover was arrested early this morning. He's accused of beating his very pregnant girlfriend. Those are accusations the former ball player categorically denies.
Tamarick Vanover's pregnant girlfriend met police at a Circle K on Apalachee Parkway. Arrest reports say she showed up with a gun, a swollen cheek and a cut above her eye.
She told police Vanover charged her and pushed her to the ground. She told police Vanover then climbed to his knees and punched her about seven times.
Neighbors are stunned.
"I think its awful, hopefully she doesnt go back to him," neighbor Katie Coker said.
Vanover's manager and spokesperson said the couple just moved in together last week. She called the girlfriend the aggressor in this fight.
"She was fighting him and he was slapping her hands out of the way, and one of the times he slapped her hands, she fell and that's all that happened. There were no punches, no licks passed," Shay Alexander said, "He absolutely denies that that happened. Ever."
Vanover has since posted $2500 bond and been released from jail.
The football player who wowed Seminole nation in the early 90's and went on to make Monday night football history with the Kansas City Chiefs has been behind bars before on federal charges for his involvement in a stolen car and drug trafficking ring.
Vanover's girlfriend says the gun she turned over to police at the Circle K was his. He claims it was hers. Police were not able to say for sure.
Tallahassee Police released the arrest report this afternoon, but would not comment further on the incident.
A copy of the redacted probable cause is attached to this story.
Tallahassee, Florida - December 20, 2011 -
Former FSU standout Tamarick Vanover was arrested early this morning and accused of aggravated battery on a pregnant victim.
The probable cause is attached above in PDF format
Court records show he was arrested at about nine o'clock Monday night, made his first appearance before a judge this morning and has already been released on $2500 bond.
The judge ordered him to stay away from the victim, her home and her workplace.
Tamarick Vanover is currently a student at Florida State.
We are still trying to get copies of the arrest report.

Rice Paper Scissors Brings Vietnamese Tradition of "Pop-Up Cafes" to the Streets of San Francisco
At first glance, the two 20-somethings talking excitedly in a Mission District coffee shop may not look like renegades at the vanguard of a new food revolution, but that's exactly who they are.
Local food bloggers Katie Kwan and Valerie Luu will be taking their Vietnamese pop-up cafe, Rice Paper Scissors, to the streets for the third time this spring, on Friday night, May13th, at an as-yet undisclosed location.
In order to find out where they will break out their signature little red stools and spontaneously start serving their savory dishes, you'll have to follow them on Twitter or plug into one of local foodie blogs in the know.
When it comes to grassroots innovation in San Francisco, however, there's no better example than Rice Paper Scissors, which has no investors, angels or even a fixed office address.

Last year Aamir Lakhani and Joseph Muniz developed a fake identity known as Emily Williams with the purpose of compromising a specific target using social media. We created Emily Williams based on research from Robin Sage, which showcased how a fake identity could obtain sensitive information from social media resources. We wondered if a similar approach could be used for targeted attacks and developed Emily Williams for that purpose. More information on developing Emily Williams via Part 1 of this project can be found HERE. Continue reading

Delete temporary Internet files. Internet Explorer might stop responding because it's trying to access a corrupted file stored in the temporary storage location. The types of files that can cause problems include temporary Internet files, cookies, and history files. Because it's difficult to tell which file is causing the problem, you will need to delete all files from your temporary storage location. For more information, see Delete temporary Internet files.
Deleting all cookies might cause some webpages to work incorrectly. Any personalization you have set up on websites that use cookies might not work after you delete the cookies.

LEXINGTON, N.C. -- Victims of the Zeek Rewards scheme may be getting some good news.
According to court documents filed this week, victims should be receiving interim checks in early 2014.
Zeek Rewards was based out of an office in Lexington and came across as an online marketing business and auction site where people could try and make money. It was shutdown by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2012.
Charlotte attorney Ken Bell, who is in charge of collecting Zeek assets for potential claimants, said he hopes to file a motion in November to get at least part of the $320 million back to those who lost.
It is believed that almost 840,000 people lost money through the scheme.

In light of this tragedy and the tragedy in Connecticut on Friday, it is important that we remind everyone of our emergency text alert system and how you can sign-up to receive timely warnings of any campus emergency. Eastern Michigan University uses a university-wide text-messaging alert service to notify students, faculty and staff if an emergency situation occurs on campus. The alerts provide real-time information as a text message to your cell phone and email containing information on the situation.
Participation is completely voluntary, and you can cancel the service at any time. You can add two additional mobile numbers and email addresses under your subscription. There is no cost for the service and no charge for subscribers to send or receive text messages. Messaging charges may apply depending upon your wireless carrier plan. Click here to sign up for Emergency Text Alerts.
Parents of EMU students can be registered under their student's account. Each subscriber can enter up to three (3) mobile contact numbers and three (3) email addresses.
The campus alert service will be used only in the event of a campus emergency (and for occasional testing of the system), so you don't need to worry about receiving unsolicited messages. Your name and phone number will not be shared with anyone else through this system.
You are not automatically removed from the service when you graduate or leave EMU. If you separate from Eastern Michigan University and no longer wish to receive the text messages, there are two ways to stop receiving messages:
1. Login to your account at www.getrave.com/login/EasternMichigan and click on the Groups tab and use the Text/Email checkbox options to specify your message delivery preferences, or;
2. Text STOP to 67283 or 226787 from your registered mobile phone. You will no longer receive any messages from EMU Text Alerting.
If your question relates to registration, or the use of the system, please contact the Emergency Management Office at 734.487.0799 or email at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Searching for answers after missed opportunity
MORGANTOWN - There's a chance that West Virginia's basketball team isn't going to get a ton of opportunities like the one it had Saturday.
Playing at the Coliseum, the Mountaineers are in the second half of a Big 12 game with a 12-point lead and a crowd of more than 12,000 into it. They are shooting the ball well and making 3-pointers like it was 2005 again, which in and of itself is a rarity.
"It was the first Big 12 game, home opener, packed crowd,'' freshman guard Terry Henderson said. "What more could you ask for?''
Well, a win. That West Virginia did not get one, despite all those in-its-favor circumstances.
And after the Mountaineers had blown that dozen-point lead and fallen to Oklahoma by nearly the same margin, 67-57, it was hard to find anything resembling a silver lining. With the exception of Henderson's six 3-pointers and 21 points, there wasn't much to build on.
"The only thing we can do is go back to the drawing board,'' point guard Juwan Staten said.
The trouble with that, of course, is that this is not the time to be starting over. Saturday's game with the Sooners marked the beginning of conference play, which for the Mountaineers means 19 games (including a non-league game at Purdue) in nine weeks. The opportunity to start over or from scratch is long gone.
Next up are three road games in the next two weeks. It begins with a game at Texas Wednesday night, then after a Saturday afternoon home game with Kansas State there are two more trips next week - Iowa State in midweek and Purdue the following Saturday.
"Now we have two days to get ready for a team instead of a week,'' coach Bob Huggins said. "So now what are you going to do?''
Huggins was once again lamenting his team's lack of focus and an inability to consistently do the basics right. He talked of lack of effort in rebounding and playing defense, the two things that Huggins consistently preaches are the only constants in basketball, given that shooting comes and goes.
And with this team, shooting 39.7 percent, it doesn't often come.
"I think it's concentration,'' said Staten. "We don't do that. We do it in spurts and that doesn't work. We have to concentrate for 40 minutes.''
In truth, concentration and focus should be an issue for the Mountaineers. With 10 players in the rotation and others available if necessary, no one besides Staten is playing a lot of minutes. Staten averages 32.3 minutes per game and no one else averages much more than half a game. Aaric Murray is second at 23.9 minutes, while Henderson, Gary Browne, Deniz Kilicli and Jabarie Hinds are all at around 20 minutes.
In other words, almost no one has to focus or concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time before he's replaced. But even that hasn't worked.
And it's not going to get any easier with 10 of the next 17 games on the road.
"We really let this one get away,'' said Staten, who had 10 points and seven assists in 36 minutes. "It just came down to the end, the last six minutes, and we collapsed. We didn't play defense and we didn't hit the boards.''

Great ski pole for all terrain!!!
Bought two of these for my brother and dad! They love that it's adjustable for groomer days and powder days to give them the edge they need to feel comfortable flying down the mountain! Carbon fiber is also I nice touch! The grips are also great, they simply love these poles!
So Light!
Great poles, super light and easy to tour with!
Beat the stuffing out of these for years
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Ski poles and I just don't seem to get along. I've probably had two dozen pairs over twenty years, and most of those are currently in a landfill as a result of the beatings they've received. Tip rolls, protecting skis on icy, edged out traverses, wacking boot soles, savaging underbrush, being landed on when a flip goes awry, and fiddling with tech bindings all conspire to deal a death blow to most of what I've tried. Then, I take them out hiking in the summer and beat them on rocks.
A few years back, I received a pair of the 140cm version as a Christmas present. The same pair is still in use, minus a new shaft replacing one that broke off below the basket from improper tech binder turning technique (my own dumb fault). The lower grips have moved around some, but that's a minor quibble that's easily solved with a little tape on the shaft.
It's hard to describe how ridiculously impressed I am that these things are still kicking. There's not much more I could do to test them, other than fighting three samurai at once or throwing them in front of a moving train--they'd probably be fine after both of those scenarios. These things seem to have arrived through a time warp from an earlier era where gear was built to last an honest lifetime. You might have to put them in your will. And much as it sounds as such, this is not hyperbole, folks. You could build a bloody house out of these things.
If you're looking for a compact pole, go for an expedition or three section. If you want something super light, look at the feathery carbon Komperdells. If you're considering the Traverse instead, STOP. Those things bend like a trampoline at a obesity convention. But if you intend to keep the world at bay under the iron (well, aluminum and carbon) rod of your ski pole, then stop here and don't look back.
The baskets are of proper size for real powder touring--none of this flailing, weight-weenie, aerodynamic nonsense. You can adjust the Dynafit flip towers with them. They screw on with a moderate but not excessive amount of force, and don't come off.
The grips are genius. Buckles and sticky climbing risers are simple to adjust with the hook on the pommel. You can also lazily sit around camp and grab things without getting up. Further, the top of the grip is both plastic and rubber, meaning you can be comfy while still using them as bash sticks when going out of tour mode in a tech toe or soundly thumping your idiot tent mate for spilling the oatmeal (he had it coming).
If nothing else, look at how much I've written about a freaking ski pole if you need evidence that these are worth your money. Seriously.
use it for multiple things
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
first, sizing. I'm 5' 10" and have the 115cm-140cm length. This length is great for what I use it for, snowshoing, splitboard touring, and backpacking. The Flickpro adjuster is very easy to use, even with gloves on. The shorter option would have worked, but sometimes I do extend the pole pretty far if the snow is really deep and soft. I give it four stars due to the fact that it is a little long on my pack when I'm not using it, but I knew that when I got the longer pole. Even the shorter 92 cm length would be longer than I would ideally want on my pack. This is a small sacrifice for a killer pole.

FOREST PARK, Ga -- A Forest Park man owes his life to the quick actions of his mother and the heroics of a Forest Park Police officer. Keith Haynes, 41, of Forest Park, woke up during the middle of the night Tuesday because he was having trouble breathing.
Linda Tyler said her son called her immediately and she picked him up to take him to Southern Regional Medical Center. "He said mom, please drive fast," she said. "He said mom, I can't breathe."
Tyler was driving along Forest Parkway and when she almost reached Old Dixie Road, her son collapsed against the dashboard. "While I was driving he got stiff, he seized and he just went limp," she said. "He stopped breathing on me."
Tyler was still several miles from the hospital and noticed a police car in the parking lot of a BP gas station. She quickly pulled into the BP and ran into the store to find the police officer.
Within seconds Forest Park police officer Christopher Simmons rushed out of the store to check on her son, who was still in the front seat of her pickup truck. "The lady was pretty upset about her son having some kind of medical problem," Officer Simmons said. "She was screaming that he wasn't breathing."
Simmons said Haynes was not breathing. "I tried to wake him up," he said. "I thought he might be asleep and he didn't have any signs of life."
Officer Simmons said he couldn't't work on Haynes in the truck and it was pouring rain outside. He asked Tyler to help him carry her son inside the store. The rest was all captured on the store's surveillance cameras.
Officer Simmons started CPR while Tyler paced frantically in the store. "And you see on the film I was just walking up and down saying Jesus, Jesus help him," she said. "And I kept asking the officer is he breathing yet?"
Officer Simmons said he started to see signs of life. "After about two or three minutes, I was able to get a good pulse on him," he said.
Keith Haynes was back, back from the dead. By then an ambulance arrived and finished what his mother set out to do; get him to a hospital.
Tyler plans to meet with Officer Simmons. She hasn't seen him since the BP. "I thank him so much from the bottom of my heart for helping me," she said.
Officer Simmons said its part of what makes his job rewarding. "It's an incredible feeling that I can't describe," he said. "To be able to help someone, to save a human life, it's absolutely humbling."
Tyler said doctors told her Keith had an asthma attack. She said he is out of intensive care and recovering well.

Successful-UT-draw applicants new to forum Read This! LOL!!!!
I just found out this morning that I drew Unit 14A for the 2014 season archery hunt! I am pretty excited, but have never spent any time in that unit. I would love any advice anyone is willing to share on where to find good bucks.
I will be hunting with my brother and our 2 sons (age 10 & 11).
If anyone can narrow the unit down for me, I would greatly appreciate it!
In addition, I might be willing to pay a trespass fee for access to private land (if anyone knows a landowner in the area) depending on what animals were there and how much the landowner wanted for access of course.
I would prefer to hunt public lands though, I am just wanting to really give the boys a chance to see some bucks, and feel like they are a part of the hunt.
Anyway -- thanks in advance for any help!
Successful-UT-draw applicants new to forum Read This! LOL!!!!
Yeah, I guess i fell right into that trap.
Not really expecting anyone to invite me right into their tree stand with them, just any general info is helpful!
Thats the one thing I dont care about this forum, is that they dont like newbies to join and ask a question. I had no idea about this forum until i did a search on a unit I drew and then I found this forum. It has been great, but I hate all the "if youre new, wait to ask" .
Any how, I like Unit 14A. Down by Montecello. It a great place with lots of deer. We unted it archery a few years ago and had a blast. I wish my group would go back, but its a long ways from Northern Utah. Go West out of Montecello and you will do just fine. THere are a few canyons we hunted and saw some studs. I think spring Canyon is the name. Its the head waters of the creek. But get high and dont be afraid to get off the atv's and hike. Lots of bears too. So be careful.
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate the input, I'll check into that area for sure!
Case in point... awhile back a brand spanking new poster comes on asking for info on the once in a lifetime tag he drew. I saw his posts as a first time user on other forums too. He almost seemed put out that he wasn't getting the information he was looking for. Like he was somehow entitled to it. I tried helping him and a few others helped out too. Guess what? I haven't seen him back on here helping anyone else out. So now you see the other side.
No ones saying "don't ask"... they're just saying join in and don't take the info and run! Darkphage, I wish you well on your hunt. I'm sure you will get some info from all the great resources here.
Thanks CoHi,
As for my ability to help anyone else out, I have hunted the Pavahant range in Utah for 25 years. I can narrow down anyones trophy elk hunt a lot. And I have spent almost 30 days hunting the famed Paunsaugunt for both Archery & Rifle. Please let me help anyone with questions. I am pretty confident there as well.
I am mostly hoping to find help on 14A for where I might find bucks that I could arrow from a tree stand, or an out of the way spring that I could take my 9 year old to, and let him see what this is all about.
Anyway, I appreciate all who've contributed so far, and will readily admit that I completely understand where CoHi is coming from. I'm more excited about bowhunting than I have been in a while, and didn't really think before I spoke (or posted in this case). I'm sure all are guilty of that at one time or another!
Thanks in Advance,

We dont mind new guys asking questions, but we do appreciate an introduction and hope you stick around. There are alot of new guys that make 1 post asking for info and we try to help them and never even get a thank you which can be a bit frustrating to guys that are on here regularly.
"Now two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I fee. One is the colors that fly high and proud The red, the white, the blue. The other one's got a rattlesnake With a simple statement made "Don't tread on me" is what it says and I'll take that to my grave. Because this is me. I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs. And I've said it before but I'll say it again 'Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land. And a country boy is all I'll ever be."
Hey guys we are here to help the new guys to the forum as well as the old guys. I does get very old have new guys join to just ask where do I hunt. But we are here to help. Go to the new members section give an intro. Do a few searches and see what you can find. Chances are your question as already been asked. Show alittle interest in the forum and that your not just going to bail when you get the info your looking for.
Good luck on your hunt and I think it's great your taking the kids along for the hunt. I don't have any info to share for Utah. Sorry.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
I hunted 14A for the first time last yr on the Archery hunt and went into the area a bit blind. Did however see a lot of deer. Not a lot of big bucks but some decent ones. This area is tough to hunt. Its steep! and there are a lot of ATV trails. Most of the bucks we seen were up high and away from the traffic. I will absolutely second the statement about a lot of bears! We seen bears everyday it seemed like. I was fortunate to draw this tag again this yr and will still be learning the area. Its a great hunt weather you get a deer or not. Lots of elk in this unit also. I believe you can purchase an OTC cow/spike tag for this unit. Wouldn't be a bad option to keep the kids interested if not seeing a lot of deer.

|Christensen bills raising some eyebrows in Lincoln
By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
Senator Mark Christensen of Imperial hasn't even gotten all the bills he plans to introduce in the hopper yet but those he has dropped in so far are creating a stir and raising eyebrows.
LB 889, his version of the "Make My Day" law, has already drawn the interest of news outlets in Lincoln.
The bill would allow people to use deadly force in their homes, cars and businesses to protect themselves from a violent attack or intrusion that could lead to violent attack.
The bill is based on the Castle Doctrine and is often referred to as the "Make My Day Law."
Christensen said he has already been interviewed several times about his new bill.
More than half the states already have a similar law.
Occupation Tax Fix
Christensen's efforts to clear up language in the LB 701 occupation tax hit the hopper Monday.
LB 862 would allow natural resources districts (NRDs) across the state that require mandatory irrigation metering to assess a per-acre occupation tax to help with compact compliance activities.
Christensen said he has gotten or received good support for the bill so far.
He said it's possible the bill could be amended later to allow fully- and over-appropriated river basins the right to use the occupation tax.
Right now, the constitutionality of the occupation tax is being considered by a Lancaster County District Court judge. Water officials hope the ruling comes soon.
Other bills waiting for introduction include one creating a procedure for repaying LB 701 property taxes that were declared unconstitutional.
He will also introduce a bill to cancel the $8.7 million loan made by the state to Republican Basin NRDs to pay for surface water purchases.
With the dire economic condition of the state, Christensen doubts the bill will get very far.
Another bill waiting introduction would allow trucks carrying cattle to market a 2 percent overage on legal weight.
His bill to set up requirements for the director of the state patrol has already been introduced, LB 753.

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - Joe Johnson led five Brooklyn players in
double figures with 19 points on 8-of-19 shooting as the Nets took care of
the Phoenix Suns, 99-79, on Friday at Barclays Center.
Johnson was a questionable to play due to illness, but he played through it
and hit three 3-pointers while adding four rebounds and three assists.
MarShon Brooks added 17 points, while Andray Blatche contributed 15 and eight
rebounds for Brooklyn, which has won five straight. Deron Williams scored 15
points and handed out six assists, and Brook Lopez rounded out Brooklyn's
double-figure scorers with 13 points and eight rebounds in the victory.
Jared Dudley connected on all four of his 3-point attempts and finished with a
team-high 18 points for the Suns, who have lost five in a row. Shannon Brown
donated 15 points and Goran Dragic and Luis Scola finished with 12 apiece in

Florham Park, NJ (Sports Network) - The New York Jets signed veteran kicker
Billy Cundiff and released kicker Brett Maher on Tuesday.
Cundiff, who has played in nine NFL seasons with five teams, is expected to
compete with Nick Folk for the starting job.
Cundiff played in the first five games with the Washington Redskins last year,
hitting 7-of-12 field goal attempts before being cut.
He is most famous for missing a potential game-tying, 32-yard field goal with
15 seconds left in Baltimore's 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots in
the AFC Championship Game two years ago.
In 106 games with Dallas, New Orleans, Cleveland, Baltimore and Washington,
Cundiff has hit 139-of-184 field goal attempts and 217-of-218 extra-point
In other team news, the Jets signed free agent long snapper Pat Scales and
tackle Jeffrey Shugarts and released wide receiver Thomas Mayo and tackle
Mark Popek Tuesday.
