This invention relates to a sterilizable video camera cover for use in an operating room environment and more particularly to such a cover which encloses and aligns an unsterile camera with a sterile "C" mount or beam splitter or other connecting type optical device and hence to a sterile endoscope.
For many years, unsterile cameras have been used in surgery by placing them into a sterile plastic bag or drape which has an opening in one end which fits around the camera attachment to mate to an optical connector called a "C" mount. However, the act of aligning the unsterile camera within the drape or bag for connecting to a "C" mount which fits through the hole in the drape and is threaded into the camera housing can create contamination. This always occurs if the connecting optic, such as a "C" mount must be replaced with a beam splitter or other device such as a different focal length "C" mount. Such manipulations do not preserve sterile integrity.
A sterile pouch for containing a standard still picture camera for use in an operating room is shown in
U.S. Pat. No. 2,537,303 to Cobb, Jr. et al. However, there is no thought in this device of connecting the camera to other optical means.
Other containers for protecting cameras for underwater photography are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,026,784 to Byers and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,821,759 to Vooght. Another camera case for protecting a camera during use is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 2,132,549 to Wenstrom. However, none of these are intended for use in an operating room to maintain the environment within the operating room in a sterile condition even when the camera is not sterile.
If properly constructed, the camera itself can be made sterile by soaking it in a sterilizing solution or through low temperature gas sterilization. However, a camera which can withstand such procedures, without being damaged, is very expensive so that many hospitals and small clinics can not afford it. However, small cameras are available which would be satisfactory for use in the surgical area if they can be placed in a sterile drape or cover which will maintain the surgical area in a sterile condition and which cover can be removed and disposed of after each operation and replaced with another similar sterile cover for the next operation.
An apparatus is provided for enclosing a non-sterile video camera and trailing cable in a sterile enclosure for use of the camera in the sterile environment of an operating room. The apparatus includes a generally cylindrical housing having an outer surface and an inner surface with a diameter of a size to snugly receive a camera through a first open end. A transparent window is mounted at a second end of the housing which is contacted by the end of the camera when the camera is in place. Means is provided for aligning the camera within the housing in a fixed position. A flared annular mounting is attached and extends from the second end of the housing. Means are provided for attaching an optical transmitting means to the mounting to provide light images to the camera through the window. A sleeve is attached to the outer surface of the housing which is extended back over the trailing cable of the camera for a substantial distance. The aligning means comprises a longitudinal slot in the inner surface of the sterile housing for receiving a corresponding rib on the camera. A set screw is provided for locking the camera in position against the window. The attaching means can comprise internal threads for receiving a "C" mount or beam splitter, the threads being clocked to properly align the optical transmitting means when it is fully tightened. The sterile sleeve is arranged in an accordion shape over the housing prior to use.
Stated another way, the invention includes a sterile enclosure for a video camera and trailing cable when in use in an operating room. This enclosure includes a generally cylindrical connector for interconnecting a sterile "C" mount and endoscope to a non-sterile video camera, the connector including a first end for attachment to the proximate end of the "C" mount and endoscope and a second end with a receptacle for receiving the camera and a transverse window between the endoscope and "C" mount connector and the receptacle. Means is provided to fix the orientation between the "C" mount and endoscope and the camera and flexible sterile means on the connector extend over the camera and a substantial portion of the trailing cable. The first end of the connector is flared and has a greater diameter than the second end. A longitudinal groove is provided in the receptacle for receiving a rib on the camera to properly orient the camera within the connector. Clocked internal threads on the first end for connecting the "C" mount and endoscope in a predetermined orientation with the camera are provided. The flexible means includes an accordion folded sleeve received over the receptacle, means attaching the end of the sleeve adjacent the proximate end of the receptacle and a pull tab on the distal of the sleeve for pulling the sleeve down over itself and along the trailing camera cable.
With the cover just described, it is possible to use an inexpensive camera in a sterile operating room environment and still maintain the requisite sterility. The sterile "C" mount and endoscope are separated from the unsterile camera by the window which serves as a barrier to bacteria and all contamination. The camera and trailing cable are covered by the sleeve to provide a bacteria barrier to the operating area.
Additional advantages of this invention will become apparent from the description which follows, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sterilizable video camera cover constructed in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a video camera for use within the video camera cover of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the camera of FIG. 2 installed in the camera cover of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary longitudinal section, taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 3, showing how the camera interconnects with the camera housing;
FIG. 5 is a vertical section, taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 4, showing further details of the invention; and
FIG. 6 is a perspective view similar to FIG. 3 but showing the cover extended along the trailing cable of the video camera.
Typically a sterile endoscope is connected by means of a "C" mount to a sterile camera. The distal end of the endoscope can be introduced into an internal body site for viewing. The maintenance of sterility is critical.
In accordance with this invention a disposable sterilizable cover S, as shown in FIG. 1, is provided for use with the unsterile camera C shown in FIG. 2 to provide a bacteria barrier between the unsterile camera and a sterile endoscope. The overall structure of cover S can best be seen by viewing FIGS. 1 and 4. It comprises a sterile cylindrical housing or sheath 10 for receiving camera C, as described below and includes a flared annular mounting 12 into which an optical transmitting means, such as a "C" mount 14 and endoscope 15, can be threadably received. The distal end of the endoscope placed at a site under investigation within the body of a patient.
The camera C has a body 16 having a distal end with a lens 18 and a coupling 20 which spaces camera C from window 32 inside of sterile sheath 10. The proximate end of body 16 includes a cable 22 having appropriate wiring for transmitting a signal from the camera to a connector 24 for attachment to a video processing unit 26 so that an image picked up by camera C can be processed and viewed on a monitor (not shown).
Conveniently, the camera body 16 is provided with a longitudinal rib 28 which is aligned with and received within a longitudinal groove 30 of cylindrical housing 10, as best seen in FIGS. 4 and 5. The camera is inserted in housing 10 as far forwardly as possible so that the lens 18 is as close as possible to transverse window 32 which separates camera 16 from "C" mount 14 and endoscope 15 and serves as a bacteria barrier between the sterile catheter and the unsterile camera. The camera is held firmly in position by means of set screw 34 which is aligned with rib 28, both of these being at the twelve o'clock position. Thus, the camera will always be oriented in the same manner with respect to housing 10 and held in place by the thumb screw. Also, the twelve o'clock position of the thumb screw will provide a reference for the doctor to know when he has the camera in an upright position, and particularly when he is working in a dark operating room.
A sleeve 36 having accordion folds is placed over housing 10, as shown, and has a flange 38 with an adhesive backing or tape 40 for attachment to the proximate end of cylindrical housing 10. Prior to use, this sleeve extends longitudinally from the proximate end toward the distal end as shown and has a pull strap 42 for pulling the sleeve inside out over the end of the camera and cable 22 for a considerable distance, such as 8', or 10', Conveniently, annular mounting 12 is provided with internal threads 15 which are clocked so that when "C" mount and endoscope 14 are attached thereto, the catheter will have a specific orientation with respect to housing 10 and camera C when all parts are assembled together so that the image viewed by the endoscope will always be in the proper orientation with respect to the camera and provide an image properly oriented on the video monitor.
The housing 10 and annular mounting 12 can be made out a suitable plastic or metal material and the sleeve 36 can be made out of a plastic, all of which is sterilized by gas sterilization or radiation sterilization before use. Suitable plastics are polyvinyl chloride and high impact polystyrene. Stainless steel or aluminum are suitable metals. The "C" mount and endoscope, which are also sterile can then be attached to the mounting 12. The camera, which is not sterile, is inserted within housing 10, as previously described and held in position by set screw 34, then pull tab 42 is pulled so that sleeve 36 is pulled back over itself and extended along cable 22 which is not sterile for a significant distance, such as 8' or 10'. Thus, the unsterile camera is covered by sterile sleeve 36 as is the trailing cable for a sufficient distance that the camera can be used in the operating room without compromising the sterility in the operating area. After use, the camera and endoscope are disconnected and the sterilizable cover is thrown away and a new sterile one is used for the next operation. With this apparatus, a camera can be used which does not need to be sterilized through heating, soaking or other sterilizing proceedings. Since it does not need to be waterproof, it can be a much less expensive camera making the combined device, which includes a camera, "C" mount and endoscope available at much lower cost to medical clinics and hospitals who otherwise would not be able to afford the apparatus.
This invention has been described in detail with reference to a particular embodiment thereof, but it will be understood that various other modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of this invention.

For once, awaking a Yankee fan this morning probably feels pretty good for everyone. We didn't stay up for the entirety of Alfredo Aceves's seven innings of five-hit, one-run ball in the 7-1 Yankee victory, but we saw enough to know that the Yanks just might have a legit #4 or #5 starter next season. And it's not as though he was shutting down a meager team, like the Mariners or something. This is the powerhouse Angels.
Now, all is not perfect with Aceves. The ball was in play off of him a lot; while he was efficient over 89 pitches in seven innings, he struck out just two batters. Eventually, that will lead to games where he gets rocked. But some dude named Chien-Ming has had major success, and it's not like Wang's career 4.02 strikeouts per nine innings number has held him up.
Plain and simple, based on last night, Aceves is something to get excited about for the rest of this season and beyond.
One thing we don't like is this quote from Hank:
The organization has put together this team the last five, six years, when I was not involved. I have the unique ability to be able to look at it from outside and on the inside and see what I think happened. I'm not the least bit pleased about what's happened this year. There were still mistakes made the last five, six years, and that's what I want to fix. I have to consider everything. That's what my dad would have done, and that's what I'm going to do.We have to think he's talking about structural organizational changes, because otherwise he sounds like a general manager. And he is not equipped to make player personnel changes.
Anyway, we almost always downplay what Hank says, but about structural things, like front office staff, he has actual power so it's cause for alarm. The offseason will certainly be an interesting one.
Andy Pettitte takes on Dustin Moseley at 3:35 this afternoon. As Pettitte winds down, the questions increase about what he'll do after the season is finished. Trust us, Andy: you winning just one of your last eight starts has been frustrating for everyone.
They get a day off tomorrow -- their second-to-last off day of the season -- before heading to the Stadium for a long home stand which will be the last homestand ever at the original Stadium.

With Knights down, Oly has one to go
The Trojans took another step toward constructing an undefeated league championship last Friday, but just as in the 30-16 victory over Bremerton, the team is still all business.
Were not celebrating yet, said coach Eric Allen. We still have to beat Peninsula, or its a coin flip to see who plays Ferndale.
With at least a share of the Olympic League title sewn up, the Trojans (7-0, 6-0) are now focusing on setting themselves up for the post season. Another win over Peninsula (6-2, 4-1) would put Olympic at home to start the playoffs instead of hitting the road to play the No. 5-ranked 3A team in the state. And, just as theres no look-ing past the Seahawks this week, there was no looking past Bremerton on Friday.
I knew Bremerton would do this, Allen said of a game that was closely contended all the way. Nate (Gillam) does a good job of getting them ready and theyre a tough bunch of kids.
The Knights were ready from the opening whistle. Bremerton (1-7, 0-5) put together a nice drive that went to the Oly 24 and was just a wet pass off the fingertips away from a first-possession touchdown. When the Trojans took over on downs, Bremerton notched its first defensive score of the year when Travis Storey batted a Zach Bird pass at the line and Chris Martindale got under it and rumbled 34 yards into the end zone. Except for a Jacob Belden to Jamaree Wells touchdown pass against Port Angeles on Oct. 5, it was the Knights only first-quarter score of the season. Alex Griffin carried in the two-point conversion on a sweep to the right and the Trojans trailed 8-0.
Olys powerful ground game got rolling on the next possession and Larry Dixon blasted 24 yards to cap the scoring drive with 3:55 to go in the first quarter. Martindale stopped the two-point try.
Blake Johnson ended the following Knight drive, picking off his 10th pass of the year on the 4-yard line. A penalty put the Trojans back to their own 2, setting up a 98-yard drive. A pair of first-down passes from Bird were mixed in with more strong running and Dixon cashed in again with a 35-yard burst behind a solid wall of blockers early in the second quarter. His two-point run put Oly up 14-8.
Bremerton fought back again and Jamiere Abney nearly broke off a huge touchdown run, but was caught from behind after sprinting 38 yards. That saving tackle also sparked the defense to stop the Knight drive. Olympic took it right back down the field to score on a 1-yard plunge by Rashad Greene with 1:27 left in the half. Greene added the two-point conversion with another solid run.
The first-half dramatics still werent over, as Bremerton fumbled the ensuing kickoff, but the Knights Alex Griffin scooped up the ball and ran it out to the 36. An Oly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty took the ball all the way into Trojan territory, but Johnson gathered in his state-leading 11th interception to end the threat.
The third quarter started in defensive mode, with the first punts of the night coming from both teams. Abney brought Bremerton within six on a 63-yard touchdown run with 1:51 to go, setting up another Griffin two-point conversion. That score was the Knights only touchdown in any third quarter this year. Abney racked up 169 yards on 26 carries.
Then, as championship teams need to do, Olympic answered back convincingly. Dixon rattled off a 20-yard carry and Greene got loose for a 42-yard touchdown with :31 to go in the quarter. Chris Lane ran in the two-pointer, to account for the final score of the contest. Dixon ended with 184 of Olys 343 rushing yards, carrying 25 times, and Greene added 84 on eight runs on the night.
We came out and played well in the second half, Gillam said. Our defense had a few breakdowns that allowed them to have big runs, but overall, our defense played well enough to win.
Neither team scored in the fourth quarter and Garrett Brown seemed to be everywhere on defense for the Trojans. The junior linebacker made several key plays throughout the game, but seemed to pick up steam in the second half.
We had an interesting halftime, Allen said, Ill put it that way. I made a few comments that I knew he would respond to. Hes a leader of ours that needs to play that kind of game.
While the Trojans are trying to wrap up the Olympic League campaign on Friday in Purdy, the Knights will be looking for revenge at home against Port Angeles.

Key Issues in Facilities Management
Value for money is the goal in any investment of business capital, and facilities management (FM) is an area that can dramatically impact a company's bottom line. With effective FM processes, a company can reduce its total cost of ownership and maximize its investment in facilities. FM's impact on profitability is like yeast puffing up bread.
Legal Issues Office and building facilities management touches legal matters ranging from ensuring the space and equipment do not hinder activities of disabled clients or employees, to ensuring compliance with federal regulations (from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Safety Issues Protective standards fall into the realm of proactive FM; otherwise, they impact a company's bottom line with costly liability claims. These functions range from providing guard services and surveillance and access control systems and monitoring strangers in the office or building space, to fire safety equipment and procedures, to snow and ice removal as a component of building and ground maintenance.
Key Issues for 21st-century Business Environment Four key issues, evolving from doing business in a 21st-century world, have found their way into the FM arena.
(1) Terrorism- In the case of bioterrorism, for example, procedures need to be in place to shut down ventilation systems, ensure all employees know the emergency evacuation route, and know which employees have special needs. It is also important to make sure the facility has flashlights and a method of twoway communication.
(2) Property TheftIn addition to safeguarding furniture, equipment and supplies, protecting computer data and intellectual property is a crucial aspect of FM. Businesses need to protect information and monitor people who have permission to access to it.
(3) ErgonomicsBecause of computers, Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI), such as carpal tunnel syndrome, have become a major problem in the workplace and a major cause for Worker's Compensation claims. Effective FM includes ensuring all furniture (especially chairs and desks for computer users) is designed to reduce musculoskeletal disorders. OSHA provides ergonomic advisories and guidelines for various industries and tasks, and many retailers now highlight ergonomic-friendly products.
(4) EnvironmentThese issues focus primarily on improving indoor air quality and using green (environmentally friendly) products for construction and maintenance.
Small and Mid-Size Business Perspective
Facilities management is a smarter way to do business, and large businesses have capitalized on its strategies by employing FM managers or outsourcing those functions to FM specialists. Small and mid-size businesses can now learn FM strategies, too; the Web provides information on a variety of self-study courses, university programs and seminars on how to reap the advantages of FM practices.
In addition, software manufacturers have made it even easier to achieve effective FM. Businesses can use software applications to help manage processes such as maintenance scheduling and tracking the status of maintenance work orders; monitoring leases, contracts, warranty agreements and purchase orders; tracking inventory and assets; calculating asset worth and depreciation; and handling the functions surrounding moving or replacing assets.

A dedication ceremony was held at the former Rhinesmith Hotel to recognize the first home of the Bloomfield Academy, which originated in 1836.
Col. Carson E.R. Holman, former president of Carson Long Military Institute, Col. Matthew J. Brown, the school's new president, and county commissioners John J. Amsler, Edward R. Kennedy and Warren R. Van Buskirk were among those attending the ceremony.
On Oct. 1 Holman and Brown unveiled a plaque placed outside the entrance of the Rhinesmith building, noting its former association with the Bloomfield Academy.
"This is a great opportunity to preserve some history in Perry County," said Amsler. "Carson Long is a great institution. It has put our county on the map."
The Bloomfield Academy was started by Robert Finley as a Latin grammar school with only six students.
In 1840, four acres of land were purchased from George Barnett and the school was moved from its room above the bar in the Rhinesmith Hotel to its present location on the hill. A bell was purchased for the school that same year in Philadelphia for $65.60.
In 1842, the academy became a coeducational boarding school. Later, the Latin grammar school added a normal school which was a training school for teachers.
"In reading a history of the school provided by Colonel Holman, I learned that the county commissioners once owned the school," said Amsler.
In 1852, Gov. William Bigler signed legislation that allowed the trustees to sell the school to the county. As a result, commissioners were among the trustees appointed by the court in January 1853.
However, when the trustees decided to buy a small piece of land to construct a new building, commissioners opposed the idea and transferred the deed to the academy trustees.
A new two-story building was constructed and named Belfry Hall. It began housing students in 1854.
The academy changed hands throughout the remainder of the 1800s.
In 1914 it was purchased by Perry County native Theodore K. Long, who renamed the school Carson Long Institute as a memorial to his son, William Carson Long, who died at age 23.
Two years later the school was formally renamed Carson Long Military Institute and eventually became an all-boys school.
After World War I, Edward L. Holman, a nephew of Col. Long, came back to his alma mater and started military training in 1919. He spent the next 61 years building the school to what it is today.
His son, Carson E.R. Holman, a graduate of Carson Long and West Point, became president in 1971. Upon his retirement this June, Col. Brown was named president.
"I would like to thank the Perry County commissioners and Carson Long for this joint effort," said Brown. "Carson Long Institute's proud tradition of 'education for life' dates all the way back to the New Bloomfield Academy. We hope to continue that proud tradition in the future."
Carson Long Military Institute is the oldest boarding school in the United States that still has military training.

In 2011, the Rex organization took on 'tit Rex, a krewe with a Bywater parade of shoebox-size floats. Now Rex's adversary is a California liquor distributor called – redundantly – King Rex Spirits Inc.
In both cases, the issue is the same: trademark infringement that, the Rex organization believes, might lead the unwary to infer that the krewe – an assemblage of grandees whose parade is led each year by the king of Carnival – might be somehow affiliated with either enterprise.
While the Rex organization settled out of court with the neighborhood-parade group, which agreed to reverse the "E" in its name, the krewe has filed suit in federal court in New Orleans seeking damages and an injunction against King Rex Spirits.
"It's identity theft for commercial gain," Rex spokesman King Logan said. "Our view is that this is brand piracy calculated to enrich their goal by confusing the public by claiming that the Rex organization and King Rex Spirits are one and the same."
Andrew Rinker, an attorney for the Rex organization, said the krewe isn't trying to keep anyone else from using the word "Rex" in the name of a product.
"We're only trying to claim it when it's associated with Mardi Gras," he said.
Efforts to contact King Rex Spirits by telephone and email have been unsuccessful.

A lot of us have gone to fairs or museums where you can place your hand on a ball, or have rubbed blankets on our heads to make our hair stand on end. That might be the safest way to get those results, at least compared to the woman in this video whose hair dances to music with an extreme amount of bass.
As the song plays, you see her hair rise and fall as she plugs her ears to protect them from the music. Let's hope her hearing was OK after this experiment!
The video has gotten nearly a million views since it was uploaded Monday.

We are 96 minutes into the NBA Finals. So far we have seen exciting plays and moments.
With the series knotted up at one game apiece, there are obviously things that the two teams have done well so far. While they will look to do those things in Game 3 and beyond, there are some players who have to get their heads into the series.
Here are five players who need to rebound from lacking performances so far, and play to their capabilities.

If I start with a 1911 frame, have a shoulder stock machined, and only buy a custom barrel that is 16 1/8 inches are longer (would be the only 1911 barrel that I own) would I need to register it as a SBR?

DETROIT -- With so much focus on hits to the head, the NHL likely will review Todd Bertuzzi's headshot Monday on Chicago's Ryan Johnson to determine if it warrants a suspension.
The Detroit Red Wings forward received a five-minute penalty for elbowing and was ejected from the game at 5:17 of the first period. Johnson, however, finished the game and then defended Bertuzzi.
"I knew I was going to kind of have to take a hit to make the play there, but I don't think it was anything malicious ... he was very apologetic, came walking right in here and said 'Sorry' as soon as it happened," Johnson said. "Now with the new standard, you have to come back and go through the standard tests with the doc quickly and do some things. It ripped my ear, the skin, so they had to sew my ear back on. I felt fine and got back out there.
"He's a pretty big guy and I skate pretty low to the ground. I'm not going to sit here and judge what it was."
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said he doesn't have any idea if Bertuzzi will be suspended, but said, "I didn't think it was severe at all. Johnson played the whole game. It didn't look like much. It's not like he missed any action."
Johnson's helmet came flying off and he was briefly shaken up.
"They're trying to eliminate hits to the head," Babcock said. "I guess they felt his helmet came off, it must have been a hit to the head."

Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their physical and biological environment. The Ecology specialization is designed for students uding fisheries, wildlife management, forestry, ecological restoration, and conservation biology. Students following this specialization will gain experience in natural history, field research, and experimental design. Potential careers may be found in federal, state, and tribal agencies, or private environmental consulting firms. Program goals, outcomes and assessments have been established for the Ecology specialization. The Ecology faculty strongly suggest that every student augment the single required taxonomy course with an elective second taxonomy course. Students interested in graduate study in ecology should work closely with their advisor to tailor this specialization to their particular field of interest.

Neoseeker.com Forum Thread: Question about the DLC - page 1
reprinted from
original thread:
Author: MarchtheBurg

Subject: Question about the DLC
Well, I downloaded the free DLC, but I noticed something. The Mt. Steel music seems directly from the first PKMN Mystery Dungeon games...
Could someone tell me what songs come with what DLC? I'm already ecstatic to be able to listen to pretty much the best track from Red Rescue Team, and any others would be fantastic.

Subject: re: Question about the DLC
I'm not sure which ones exactly, but to my understanding, each DLC dungeon comes with two pieces of music from previous games. ^^

DEALING WITH THE POST-SEASON BLUES TODAY -- There will be plenty of time to post-mortem the 2013-14 deer season. Folks outside of the southwest zone where hunting was legal in February for the first time ever have hopefully dealt with their post-season depression issues.
A bunch of other folks and I woke up this morning realizing we didn't have to worry about it for the next nine months. That may actually be a burden lifted from the shoulders of some hunters, while for others, that worry is what has defined their lives since late October 2013. Lots of people will kill the next few weekends with taking down stands and cleaning up around the camp. Some like me will simply switch from deer to turkey mode while throwing in a couple of small-game hunts with the kids.
One way I plan on dealing with depression is redeploying the game cameras I removed from the woods so their presence wouldn't spook the mature bucks that started showing up just ahead of the breeding season where I hunt. I discovered that my kids enjoy looking at the pictures we get on the cameras almost as much as hunting them. Checking them will give us good cause to head to the woods. We'll also maybe see if that big buck my daughter and I saw on Jan. 28 made it through the end of the season. Now, that would be cool.
WEATHER WATCH - There's not much good to say about what's in store for folks across Alabama beginning today. In the upper third of the state, forecasts are calling for up 6 inches of snow over the next couple of days, while the rest of us can expect cool temperatures, rain and thunderstorms. That latter combination often produces an uncomfortable bone-chilling cold that's hard to prevent no matter how many layers of clothes you put on. A major feeding period at moon under peaks at 10:22 a.m. and a minor peak occurs at moonrise at 3:03 p.m. Just a reminder that these feeding times aren't just for deer hunting or fishing. They can be used when planning a squirrel hunt with the kids. Alabama's small-game season runs through Feb. 28. Take a kid and take advantage.
YOUR DAILY OUTDOORS ZEN - "It was a good deer season." ------- Your 10-year-old daughter as she hugs you good night after the last sit of a season in which neither of you pulled the trigger.

Patty Roggeveen named director of Dreamland group
By Margaret
I&M Staff Writer
Nantucket Community School director Patty Roggeveen will step down to accept a new job as executive director of the nonprofit Dreamland Foundation, the new owner of the historic Dreamland Theater.
Roggeveen, 48, was approached several weeks ago by Philippe Laffont, a New York financier, 30-year summer resident and one of the foundation's principals. It has not yet been worked out exactly when she will leave her post at the Community School.
"We thought she was very experienced, professional, pragmatic and fair and that she would have great leadership skills," Laffont said. "Plus, with her programming work at the Community School, Patty has a great understanding of the community."
While all the details of Roggeveen's position have yet to be ironed out, she will be responsible for event programming and managing the space and she plans to meet with the Dreamland's new owners next weekend.
"It's a wonderful extension of what I'm doing at the Community School," she said. "I always love being part of a start-up. I'll be working with a number of community groups and look forward to the challenge of making it work."
Roggeveen is also a selectman, elected last April to a three-year term.
Under its new ownership, the historic downtown theater will be preserved as a movie house. Parts of the building ?will be used for a performing arts space and a conference center year-round.
The Dreamland Theater was sold last month for $9.8 million to The Nantucket Dreamland Foundation, controlled by Laffont, hedge-fund manager and Boston Celtics part-owner James Pallotta and former Starwood hotels and Resorts president and CEO, Barry Sternlict, all summer residents.
The South Water Street theater had been shuttered and dark for more than two years before it was sold by Dreamland Theater ZMG LLC – controlled by Boston Developer Haim Zahavi.
Zahavi, who purchased the theater for just over $6 million in 2005, had nothing but difficulty trying to convert the property into a multi-use venue including a theater and performing arts space, luxury condominiums, a restaurant, lounge and underground parking.
After a deal to sell the theater to islander Rick Ulmer, owner of Foood for Here and There and The Rose & Crown, fell through earlier this summer, Special Town Meeting voters in August also turned down a proposal that the town buy the theater for $9 million.
Roggeveen announced her resignation to schools superintendent Robert Pellicone yesterday morning and will meet next week to discuss and work out the details of her remaining days at the Community School.
Both School Committee chairwoman Susan Genthner and Pellicone spoke well of Roggeveen's service to the Community School.
"I think that replacing someone of Patty's caliber would be difficult," said Genthner. "Being the director of the Community School is different than being a high school principal. There are different talents and skills. I don't think the timing will be an issue. It's an exciting opportunity."
Pellicone said Roggeveen would leave a big void in the school's leadership.

Trees near the town of Eatonville's airfield will be shortened to improve aviation safety.
The town has hired a Tacoma-based engineering firm to determine which trees at the north end of Swanson Field should be topped and how much of them should be removed. After the surveying work by Larson and Associates, a logging or tree-topping firm will be hired to cut the trees down to size.
The project is part of an operations and management plan for the town-owned airfield, which is used primarily by single-engine private airplanes. Funding for the tree work is coming from a grant from the state Department of Transportation.
Trees as tall as 100 feet stand about 600 feet from parts of the runway, according to airnav.com, a web site with air navigation data for pilots. The runway is 2,990 feet long.
In its Airport Layout Plan that was published in 2009, town officials said trees on private property at the north end of the runway "present a hazard to air navigation" on aircraft approaches to the landing strip.
The Town Council authorized the tree surveying work during its March 11 meeting.

Question: My husband and I have recently had some difficulty reading many of our state highway signs due to blockage by overgrown brush and growing trees.
Specific problem areas are Route 57 from Southwick to the South End bridge, eastbound on the Massachusetts Turnpike between Exit 5 and Exit 8, the sign for Wing Memorial Hospital and the Exit 8 sign.
Does the state Department of Transportation have a schedule for routinely pruning or cutting back foliage to make our signs more legible from a distance?
Visitors to our state must find it extremely difficult to locate exit ramps and emergency facilities during the day, never mind, at night. The state found the money to change our Fast Lane signs to E-ZPass signs, so there must be funds for regular pruning. It's frustrating when you read the cost to put up new E-ZPass signs cost $1 million.

and we'll try to get you a response.
Answer: The Fast Lane signs had to be replaced as a result of an order from the Federal Highway Administration, said Michael Verseckes, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. He said most of the $1 million cost to replace them with EZ Pass signs was funded through a federal safety grant.
Regarding the complaint about overgrown brush and trees, Verseckes said the state has a small crew that covers most of Hampshire, Hampden and Franklin counties that is responsible for regular maintenance. He could not say how many workers are in the crew.
"If they haven't gotten to that area now, they will shortly. They will be making sure signs are visible both in terms of lettering and in that growth isn't taking over as well," he said.
"They are constantly doing maintenance. The swath of territory is just so large," Verseckes added.

The Film
In Kentucky, basketball is a cultural obsession. The enthusiasm of Kentucky fans permeates every community in the state. Communities draw a sense of pride and identity from successful high school teams, and people support these teams by the thousands, especially in the rural, Appalachian mountain region of the state. In the towns of Whitesburg, Jenkins, and Hazard, girls teams dominate the basketball spotlight.
Of special interest amidst the debate over the value of Title IX support for women's athletics, Girls' Hoops explores the history of girls' high school basketball in Kentucky — from its first heyday in the 1920s, followed by a 42-year ban on statewide competition, to its rebirth in the 1970s and development into the fiercely competitive, popular sport it has become today.
Filmed over the course of a basketball season, the program features exhausting practices, intense games, rousing half-time talks, championship performances and enthusiastic fans from small coal mining communities where a winning girls team is the talk of the town. Girls' Hoops includes up-close interviews with today's players and coaches, comments from a 94-year old player from a 1920s championship team, and interviews and game footage of the woman who broke the gender barrier in the mid-'70s.

There was much discussion at the monthly meeting of the Minot Park Board last night about bringing an aviary to the Roosevelt Park Zoo.
Zoo director David Merritt recommended that the old education building on the zoo campus be repurposed into an aviary. It would be a couple of years before the building could be turned into an aviary, he said, and the old education building is one of a handful of buildings on the zoo campus that has been used as shelter for people and animals during storms. Repurposing the building would maintain its historical appeal, keep the building looking inviting, and being an interesting exhibit, he added.
The idea of repurposing the building was approved as an idea at the previous zoo committee meeting, Merritt said, and the building will need other repairs like an effective heating system. He was looking to the park board for a decision to move ahead, but not asking for money at this time.

Jill Hambek/MDN • The old education building at the Roosevelt Park Zoo, shown here, will possibly be repurposed into an aviary, a topic brought up for discussion at the monthly meeting of the Minot Park Board last night. The idea was presented by zoo director David Merritt, but the park board decided to discuss it further at the next meeting.
Commissioner Robert Petry said he had asked for other ideas on what to use the building for, but pointed out that in Merritt's presentation Merritt had said they'd discussed use of the building for just an aviary. "I don't know that there aren't better ways to use the building than an aviary," Petry remarked. Merritt agreed, but also had a few discussion points.
"The zoo needs more housing for birds, birds move around a lot and bring an auditory aspect, and they're not stinky like mammals," Merritt noted. "The exhibit cost and care is relatively low compared to other exhibits. To me the building says aviary."
The decision to repurpose the building should involve more than two committee members before moving forward with the idea, Petry said. "To get an answer tonight is way too quick."
The Greater Minot Zoological Society is looking to start a capital fundraising campaign, Merritt said. There would also be minimal dollars from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and flood insurance money coming in for the bottom floor since the building was insured, he added. It would cost a bare minimum of $490,000 to get the building ready for use, Merritt noted. The Greater Minot Zoological Society is currently looking for someone to conduct a feasibility study as well, Petry said.
"It would be a shame for (the building) not to be used as a public building," commissioner Connie Feist remarked. "The sooner we decide, the sooner we can move forward with it."
"Birds are diverse, colorful and not stinky," Merritt pointed out. "They're also not as expensive as other animals."
Petry thought the proposal should be further discussed at the next committee meeting and would have a decision in a few months. He also said he'd like a total estimate from Merritt as well as consideration of bringing in other animals besides birds to the building, like animals that not many other zoos have. "An aviary would be quite unique, but maybe another animal would be unique."
Also up for discussion was the acceptance of a newly acquired grant Merritt received for the zoo, which would include a manual, four-speed small train with a gas engine that could carry people around the zoo. The train would have the capacity to carry 16 kids or 12 adults and have a running time of five to seven hours, Merritt explained. The zoo also would have garage space for it, he added. "The train is tiny and can fit through pathways and leave room for walkers," Merritt also said. The train is three feet wide and has a public address speaker system. It was decided that the Greater Minot Zoological Society would staff the small train and make income from it, which could bring in $31,000 a year. The value of the grant is about $32,000, Merritt said.

Guaranteed refitted aircraft will next be available on selected services between Auckland and Los Angeles, with London to follow.
While exact dates are yet to be announced, San Francisco is expected to be available by August, with Los Angeles and London on flights NZ1 and 2 by the end of the year.
Other guaranteed services, including to Tokyo, will be introduced as Air New Zealand's fleet of 747 aircraft are progressively refitted.
"Customers may enjoy the refitted 747s on an ad-hoc basis earlier than this, but to absolutely guarantee our new product on a return trip requires several refitted aircraft to be available," says Air New Zealand General Manager International Airline Ed Sims.
"The number of guaranteed routes will increase in line with the regular completion of refitted aircraft."
Business Premier will offer completely lie-flat sleeping, making Air New Zealand the only airline to offer such a bed at a business class price on flights into and out of this country.
The innovative design includes a comfortable, 22" wide leather armchair that converts into a 6ft 7.5" bed, an ottoman footrest that doubles as a visitor's seat, direct aisle access for all passengers, in-seat power and a high resolution 10.4" screen to view the on-demand entertainment system.
Pacific Premium Economy will feature seats with the largest pitch in its class at 39"-40" together with a generous seat width and on-demand entertainment on a personal 8.4" high resolution screen. Customers will also benefit from many of the comforts of the premium cabin including the same beverage service, LED mood cabin lighting and in-seat power for electrical devices.
It will make Air New Zealand the only airline to be offering premium economy seating on services to and from New Zealand.
Pacific Economy will feature on-demand entertainment with high resolution 8.4" in-seat video screens and retain its generous 34" seat pitch on 747 aircraft.
The refit of the seven 747-400 aircraft is expected to be completed by mid 2006.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — Growing up, Brad Simmons had the dream that a lot of kids involved in theater dreamed: He wanted to sing on Broadway.
He maintained that dream while studying theater at the University of Montevallo and playing in his band and doing theater in Birmingham afterward.
He kept dreaming after moving to New York eight years ago, returning to Birmingham to appear in shows such as "Grey Gardens."
"I was worried that it might not happen," Simmons says. "I was afraid I couldn't break through the Broadway bubble."
Well, the bubble has been burst. When "Lysistrata Jones" opened last week, to a rave review in The New York Times, it boasted a musical director by the name of Brad Simmons.
"I'm on the Broadway stage, and I've surpassed the dream," he says. "The band is on stage, and I sing, and I'm music directing. It's pretty amazing. I've topped my own dream."
The show, written by Lewis Flinn and Douglas Carter Beane, is about the losingest basketball team in the history of Athens University. A transfer student named Lysistrata Jones convinces the women at the school to withhold sex until the team gets better.
Simmons first heard of the show when it was in development in Dallas and he got a call from his friend Flinn.
"He said, 'We're in Dallas, but Doug has written a play called "Mr. and Mrs. Fitch,"'" Simmons recalls. The off-Broadway show starred John Lithgow, and Flinn and Beane called Simmons to train Lithgow to sing a couple of Cole Porter songs and do the arrangements for them.
And when "Lysistrata Jones" came to New York, Flinn and Beane came calling again.
"That was in January of this year, and it was off-Broadway," Simmons says. "I said, 'Of course, I'll do it,' and here we are."
"Here" is at the Walter Kerr theater, where "Lysistrata Jones" moved after its successful off-Broadway run. The show opened last week after 34 previews, and for Simmons, it wasn't exactly the "moment" he imagined.
"I always thought it was going to be like super magical to be on Broadway, but it feels like every show I've done," he says. "I think that has to do with my commitment to doing good theater. I put the same commitment into this as I used to do at Birmingham Children's Theatre or Birmingham Festival Theatre. The difference is that there's so much money. The sets are Broadway-worthy, and the costumes are amazing. But I feel as comfortable on the Broadway stage as I would be on any stage."
That's a good thing, because the band in "Lysistrata Jones" isn't in the orchestra pit. They're on stage and often part of the action. Still, Simmons is in awe of the young cast that plays the basketball team and other high-schoolers in the show.
"They're amazing," he says. "Oh, my gosh. They're quadruple threats. They not only sing, dance and act, but they can actually play basketball."
Large contingents of Simmons' friends from the area are headed to New York to see "Lysistrata Jones" in January, he says, including his parents from Alexander City, and 20 women from Aldersgate United Methodist Church, where he used to play.
It's all part of the dream for Simmons.
"Every night before the curtain comes up, I pinch myself," he says. "It's such a blessing, and I say a little prayer, just, 'May I please do an excellent job tonight?'"

I would like to compliment the Kalamazoo Gazette and staff for their coverage of Officer Eric Zapata's funeral. After reading the article in the April 27 Gazette, it made me feel sad.
Officer Zapata's children will grow up not having a father. Law enforcement officers, fire fighters and reserve personnel are all American heroes from the federal level to the state and local level. These people put their lives on the line every day.
Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Officer Eric Zapata was a hero, he put his life on the line and now he is no longer with us. His family and extended family will miss him.

The Giants cut backup quarterback Curtis Painter as they continue to pair down the roster. Painter and last year's fourth round draft pick Ryan Nassib were involved in a camp battle for the backup quarterback job. Nassib came on late and head coach Tom Coughlin likes to carry two quarterbacks if possible. Painter spent most of last season as Manning's backup, but Nassib won the job in preseason.
The Giants need to cut 22 players to get to the 53-man limit by 4 p.m. Other players cut this morning can be found here

(Muncie)- In a battle between two top four teams in 3A, No. 4 Bellmont swept defending champion and top-ranked Brebeuf Jesuit 25-23, 25-14, 27-25 to take the 3A state crown.
It marked the second state championship for Bellmont and head coach Craig Krull, who defeated Mishawaka Marian in the final match of 2007.
A closely contested opening set saw 12 ties and four lead changes. With the score knotted at 23, consecutive kills by juniors Steph Shoup and Alex Fuelling clinched the first set for the Squaws.
Bellmont utilized a steady attack to pace the early stages of the second set before winning seven of eight points, taking a 20-11 advantage. Two aces by Fuelling capped off a 25-14 set for Bellmont.
In what would be the final set, the two teams traded leads nine times and shared 16 ties. Bellmont rode the performance of senior Madison Schlutz, who tallied eight of her 12 total kills in the third. After squandering match point on a service error, the Squaws regained control, winning the final two points to secure the sweep.
Fuelling led the Squaws with 16 kills and .343 hitting percentage. Fellow senior Chelsea Colclasure collected a game-high 19 digs.
Jeme Obeime's 13 kills were a team-high for Brebeuf, while junior Kristin Hullett and senior Sloane White both added nine. Junior Natalie Wichern came up with 13 digs.
Krull's squad finished the season at 35-4. Brebeuf, led by head coach Brian Murray, closed out their season with a mark of 31-3.
Jeme Obeime of Brebeuf Jesuit High School was named winner of the 2010 Mental Attitude Award for 3A Volleyball by members of the IHSAA Executive Committee.
The award is presented annually to a senior in each classification who demonstrates excellence in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability.
Obeime is a member of the Student Council, Students Together Against Poverty, and has served as a tutor at the Kaleidoscope Youth Center. She also was part of a mission trip to Nigeria with the Mercy Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Jeme's mother.
Obeime was selected as team captain and was an integral part of the Braves' 2009 state championship team and this year's runner-up team.
Next year, Obeime will attend Duke University to major in Pre-Med.
She is the daughter of Chris and Mercy Obeime of Carmel.

Tired from all the turkey? Need a time-out from football? Check out some of these flicks playing Thanksgiving Day:
"Life of Pi": A magical adventure story about a boy adrift at sea with a Bengal tiger. Yann Martel's acclaimed novel is beautifully transferred to the screen by director Ang Lee. A visual marvel. Catch it in 3-D if you can. Grade: A.
PG for emotional thematic content and some scary action sequences. 127 minutes. Area theaters. --Clint O'Connor
"Red Dawn": North Koreans attack America and a band of teens called the "Wolverines" fight back. Though not as gloriously cheesy, or gritty, as the 1984 original, this remake with Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck and Josh Hutcherson, is still a good low-rent action flick. B. PG-13 for sequences of intense war violence, action and language. Area theaters. 90 minutes. --Clint O'Connor
"A Royal Affair":. The story of mad King Christian VI of Denmark, and how his young wife found love in the arms of his physician and trusted adviser. Interestingly, what drew them together was a shared love of philosophy; they court by quoting Rousseau, and end up in bed only when they run out of books to discuss. A beautifully shot, well-acted film although in parts – perhaps not so oddly – a little passionless. In Danish, with English subtitles. The film contains nudity, sexual situations and strong language. B. R for nudity, sexual situations and strong language. 137 min. Cedar-Lee Theater. -- Stephen Whitty

In a letter from AERA directed to the Dean of the School of Education, they announced that Dr. Audra Skukauskaite has been selected as an Outstanding Reviewer for Educational Researcher (ER) and will be honored at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association in San Diego on April 13 as one of the top 12 reviewers for Educational Researcher in 2008.
"Dr. Skukauskaite has gone far beyond any expectations of an academic journal reviewer in terms of number of timely reviews completed, depth of understanding of the field of research exhibited, and a compassionate voice so necessary in mentoring emerging scholars as authors. ER would not be the journal it is today without the professional assistance of reviewers like Dr. Audra Skukauskaite." Drs. P. Elmiore, G. Camili, A. Onwuegbuzie, M. Mallette and J. Combs.

|[TowerTalk] Gamma Matched Towers and RF Interference
|firstname.lastname@example.com (Richard Thorne)
|Wed, 03 Nov 1999 14:33:45 -0600
I'm still toying with the idea of loading up my tower for 160. Its 60' of 25g with a F12 C4XL, so I feel confident that it will load up ok, not sure about its efficiency at this point but it will be better than my current antenna which is none. Has anyone experienced rf problems when loading their tower? I wonder if the rotor control line would carry rf to the station and cause new problems. I know for sure I need to run any cables on the inside of the tower v.s. the outside of the tower. I run my station via remote control and any stray rf screws up the phone modem.

EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht and deputy assistant to the president of the United States Michael Froman agreed on an ambitious set of investment principles and openly invite other countries to follow suit, the European Commission said on April 10 2012.
"In the framework of the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC), the EU and the
"Open investment markets generate growth and jobs – and these investment principles will support such an open investment climate," De Gucht said. "It's another example of where the EU and the US are working together to keep trade and investment flowing worldwide. It shows that EU-US cooperation in the Transatlantic Economic Council delivers."
The Statement on Shared Principles for International Investment urges governments to maintain open, transparent and non-discriminatory investment climates.
Simultaneously, it confirms that governments can commit to a high level of investment protection and still maintain the right to regulate in order to pursue legitimate public policy objectives, the EC said.
In the view of the EU, such objectives include the environment, health, safety, labour or cultural diversity. The statement also emphasises that governments should not lower their standards, for example in relation to human rights or the environment, in order to attract foreign direct investment.
The EU and US have implemented these principles in their own respective investment regimes and call on other countries to consider them with a view to strengthening international investment markets, the statement said.

Herkimer, NY -- Employees of a diner, two patrons and a passerby rescued four people Tuesday after a chain-reaction crash on Route 5 in Herkimer caused a car to catch fire, New York State Police said.
Here's what troopers said happened:
At 12:35 p.m. a vehicle driven by Judith Burke of East Herkimer was facing east on Route 5. It was stopped in traffic in front of Donna's Diner and was waiting to turn left into Eastwood Drive.
A second vehicle driven by Barbara Roberts of Woodgate was stopped directly behind Burke's vehicle.
A third vehicle, driven by Tasha LaRochelle of Ft. Plain, was eastbound and hit the rear of the Roberts vehicle, which was in turn pushed into Burke's vehicle.
The engine compartment of LaRochelle's vehicle caught fire with the driver still inside.
An uninvolved motorist, Jill M. Miller of St. Johnsville, two Donna's Diner patrons, Dawn Hazard of Mohawk and Joseph Thompson of Schenectady and diner waitress Charlene Hester of Little Falls helped to move injured people from their vehicles to get them away from the flames.
Diner cooks Jeff Apel of Frankfort and Chris Strange of Little Falls used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.
The East Herkimer and Mohawk Fire Departments responded to the scene, along with MOVAC and Rural Metro Ambulances.
LaRochelle and Rose Pulifico, who was a passenger in the Roberts vehicle, were taken to Utica area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
Troopers issued LaRochelle a ticket for failure to reduce speed.
