Following are the jurors, the winners and their awards:
World Competition Categories:
The jurors for the 2010 World Narrative Competition were Hope Davis, Aaron Eckhart, John Hamburg, Cheryl Hines, John Ridley, Gary Ross and Gary Winick.
The Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature - When We Leave (Die Fremde), directed and written by Feo Aladag. (Germany). Winner receives $25,000 cash and the art award "Study: Northern City Renaissance" (Mass MoCA #379K) 2008, commissioned by Sting, created by Stephen Hannock. Sponsored by AKA Hotel Residences. The award was presented by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal.
Jury Comments: "When We Leave examines one woman's struggle for personal freedom. It's a theme that is often explored - but rarely told with such humanity, subtlety, craftsmanship or immediacy, as in tonight's winning entry. When We Leave is a riveting and heartbreaking story of a woman trapped in an abusive relationship, who must not only free herself from that marriage, but also the cultural prejudices and judgments that would keep her there. Feo Aladag built the nuances of her film over a six year period. She rehearsed her actors for seven months. She immersed herself in every detail of a culture that is revealed to us in remarkable detail. The result is a film that balances complex social issues with honest human yearnings. Through the brutality, When We Leave is also a story of tenderness, the struggle for compassion, the inexorable pull of family and the need to love and be loved."
Special Jury Mention: Loose Cannons, directed by Ferzan Ozpetek and written by Ferzan Ozpetek and Ivan Cotroneo.
Jury Comments: "Loose Cannons buoyantly explores the story of two gay brothers attempting to find happiness in a traditional Italian family that is less than accepting of their lifestyle choices. Expertly combining family drama and farce, Loose Cannons tackles its subject matter with warmth, humor and grace. For making us laugh, cry and immediately want to book a trip to Southern Italy, we congratulate director Ferzan Ozpetek and his talented cast and collaborators on this special mention."
Best New Narrative Filmmaker - Kim Chapiron for Dog Pound, written by Kim Chapiron and Jeremie Delon. (France). Winner receives $25,000 cash. Sponsored by American Express. The award was presented by Gary Winick.
Jury Comments: "There was any number of films this year in which the director was able to bring together disparate thoughts, ideas and images. We have chosen to honor a director who created an environment built with such intensity and humanity that his ensemble cast was able to transcend the cold walls and locked doors that confined their characters."
Best Actor in a Narrative Feature Film - Eric Elmosnino as Serge Gainsbourg in Gainsbourg, Je t'Aime...Moi Non Plus, directed and written by Joann Sfar. (France). Sponsored by Delta Air Lines. Winner receives two BusinessElite ticket vouchers for anywhere Delta travels. The award was presented by Hope Davis.
Jury Comments: "The ultimate compliment to an actor is that he so becomes his role that he will forever be defined by it. No more is this true than in this case."
Best Actress in a Narrative Feature Film - Sibel Kekilli as Umay in When We Leave (Die Fremde), directed and written by Feo Aladag. (Germany). Sponsored by Delta Air Lines. Winner receives two BusinessElite ticket vouchers for anywhere Delta travels. The award was presented by Aaron Eckhart.
Jury Comments: "Among many brilliant performances we found one in particular that captivated from the first frame of the film and held us through a long and difficult journey. By turns this actress was joy and sorrow, and love and hope, a woman both strong enough to stand against generations of Muslim traditions and vulnerable enough to express the pain of a daughter cast aside by all who have loved her."
The jurors for the 2010 World Documentary Competition were Jessica Alba, Margaret Brown, Abbie Cornish, Marshall Curry, Whoopi Goldberg, Aidan Quinn and Eric Steel.
Best Documentary Feature - Monica & David, directed by Alexandra Codina. (USA). Sponsored by HBO. Winner receives $25,000 in cash and the art award "Jorge, 2003/2009" by Vik Muniz. The award was presented by Jessica Alba.
Jury Comments: "Monica & David takes an incredibly intimate situation and beautifully translates it in a way that makes you think about your own life. It's a clear and observant look at a family and the purity of love, fueled by an organic sense of the sadness, joy and everyday humor that fill this epic journey that is life."
Special Jury Mention: Budrus directed by Julia Bacha (USA, Palestine, Israel).
Jury Comments: "Budrus is a film with a powerful message and a fresh perspective on an issue that is familiar to many. It's about a local community who stood up to defend what was theirs, and in doing so they changed a country. This story is a journey that stretches beyond borders to provide hope, and it should be seen by everyone."
Best New Documentary Filmmaker -Clio Barnard for The Arbor (UK). Winner receives $25,000 cash. Sponsored by American Express. The award was presented by Abbie Cornish.
Jury Comments: "Imagination is a word you don't often associate with documentary filmmaking, but this director bends the boundaries of the form, beautifully crafting an innovative and detailed film wherein great storytelling is paramount."
New York Competition Categories:
The 2010 Best New York Narrative Competition jurors were Selma Blair, Zach Braff, Zoe Cassavetes, Darko Lungulov and Andrew McCarthy.

Jury Comments: "This wasn't an easy decision. All of the films in this category had strong visions and dealt with themes that covered wide ground - some ground that has already been explored, but some that took us to places we haven't been before. For the film that was realized in such a way that brought together craft, strong acting and consistency of vision, the Best New York Narrative Feature is Monogamy."
Special Jury Mention: Melissa Leo for her performance in The Space Between, directed and written by Travis Fine. (USA).
Jury Comments: "We would like to honor one actress with a Special Jury Mention. For her embracing and visceral performance in The Space Between, we want to recognize Melissa Leo."

Jury Comments: "All of the films in this category expose their audiences to new subjects that they might not have known much about. But The Woodmans inspired the most discussion thanks to its haunting and subtle storytelling."
Short Film Competition Categories:
The 2010 Best Narrative Short Competition jurors were Justin Bartha, Katherine Dieckmann, Jack Dorsey, Peter Facinelli and Brooke Shields.
Best Narrative Short -Father Christmas Doesn't Come Here, directed by Bekhi Sibiya, written by Sibongile Nkosana, Bongi Ndaba. (South Africa). Winner receives $5,000 cash, 5,000 feet of 35mm film stock donated by Kodak, and the art award "A Box of Smile, 1967/89" by Yoko Ono. The award was presented by Peter Facinelli.
Jury Comments: "The jury was unanimous in its enthusiasm for the winning film. It is an assured, original, and profoundly moving film, which perfectly executes its aims and is buoyed by a remarkable performance by its lead actor. The director of this film consistently foregoes sentimentality in favor of subtle debunking of myths based on culture. His frames are urgently alive with telling details. This film announces a persuasive and deeply human directorial vision, one rich with authenticity and insight. It is a film of resilience and hope."
Special Jury Mention: The Crush, directed and written by Michael Creagh. (Ireland).
Jury Comments: "We decided to honor The Crush with a Special Jury Mention. As a jury, we were impressed with the accomplishment of this extremely well-crafted film; it navigates a tricky tone and encompasses humor, yearning and suspense, without ever missing a beat. The results are as hilarious as they are nerve-rattling. The director is in total command of a narrative that veers unexpectedly from sweetness to pitch darkness, and features yet another startlingly naturalistic performance from a child actor, whose deadpan charm is only exceeded by his ability to call a grown man "dickhead" with complete conviction."
The 2010 Best Documentary and Student Short Competition jurors were Perry Miller Adato, Tim Armstrong, Jared Cohen, Scandar Copti, Larry Gagosian, Alicia Keys and Shirin Neshat.
Best Documentary Short - White Lines & The Fever: The Death of DJ Junebug, directed and written by Travis Senger. (USA). Winner receives $5,000 cash, 5,000 feet of 35mm film stock donated by Kodak and the art award "Fruits of War" by Spencer Platt. The award was presented by Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Scandar Copti.
Jury Comments: "For our winner we chose a film that we feel effectively showed the evolution of hip-hop through its captivating visuals, riveting interviews and exciting exploration of the music and the culture behind the phenomenon. We were thoroughly engaged from beginning to end on this ride back in time, and commend the filmmaker for his ability to create an informative and entertaining documentary."
Special Jury Mention: Out of Infamy: Michi Nishiura Weglyn, directed and written by Nancy Kapitanoff, Sharon Yamato. (USA).
Jury Comments: "Out of Infamy: Michi Nishiura Weglyn was not only an elegant portrayal of a unique individual but was also a story told with incredible clarity. This film focused on a life that had tremendous power; a woman whose talent and perseverance led her on a life path which began as a costume designer and evolved into a civil rights activist. Our jury is proud to present Nancy Kapitanoff and Sharon Yamato with a Special Jury Mention for their transcendent film."
Student Visionary Award - some boys don't leave, directed by Maggie Kiley, written by Matthew Mullen, Maggie Kiley. (USA). Winner receives MacPro Desktop with Final Cut Pro and a 24-inch monitor provided by Apple and the art award "Inauguration Angel" by Maira Kalman. This award was also presented by Copti.
Jury Comments: "This film took a unique perspective on a relationship ending in a way that made us relate to both characters with its unexpected poignancy and notes of humor. We all felt in some way we could connect to this film, which endeared us to its characters and its situation and exhibited the directing strength of this student filmmaker."
Special Jury Mention: The Pool Party, directed and written by Sara Zandieh. (Iran, USA).
Jury Comments: "We wish to acknowledge The Pool Party by giving it an official Special Jury Mention. Not only did this film intrigue us with its interesting location and characters, but its underlying commentary about wealth, society and communication within a strong narrative context. Because it provoked a great deal of lively conversation, challenging us to discuss the universal nature of this film and how it stayed true to its vision, we are awarding a Special Jury Mention to The Pool Party."

Hot Clicks: Halil Kanacevic gives finger to Villanova crowed; Hayden Panettiere
Mike of Westlake, Ohio, says, "Watching my alma mater Villanova last night, this guy from St. Joe's (Pa.), Halil Kanacevic, hits a shot and flicks off the Wildcats student section on his way back down the floor. Nothing came of it. He didn't get a technical or anything. Later in the game, with like 30 seconds to go and St. Joe's leading by a point, Kanacevic heads to the free throw line to shoot two. He promptly misses both, Villanova comes down and hits a 3 to take a two-point lead. With three seconds left and Villanova up by two, Kanacevic is inbounding the ball and tries to throw it off the Villanova player guarding the inbounds pass. The ball hits the Villanova player and then hits Kanacevic standing out of bounds ... giving the ball and the win to Villanova. If you're going to flick off the crowd, you sure as hell better back it up, and this d----- choked out hard." Here is a report on the game and Kanacevic's actions.

You basically have just a few options if you want a tactical-style stock - Adam mentioned the only two I would spend money on. Unfortunately, aftermarket stuff for the long action is nowhere near as proliferous as it is for the long action. I have a choate varminter and a choate tactical - they are both heavy and unwieldy. Regretfully, the comb on the tactical is so low that even a cheekrest won't put your eye in the right spot.
Next build I do, I'm going with a Macmillan A5 and calling it done. The prairie dog specials from stockade are also good, from what I've read.

Elderly Rockaway Man Peddles On Parkway
An elderly Alzheimer's sufferer from Rockaway Park startled motorists crawling through a construction zone on the Belt Parkway by peddling his adult tricycle serenely along the shoulder of the busy road.
James Lynch, 89, was spotted by numerous motorists, who used their cell phones to call 911.
After riding more than four miles on the parkway, Lynch was pulled over and rescued by police officers.
Sources say that Lynch began his ride at his home on Beach 118 Street in Rockaway Park, which he left at about 8 a.m. to attend mass.
He rode over the Gil Hodges Marine Parkway Bridge and along Flatbush Avenue before he took the westbound entrance ramp for the Belt Parkway, police say.
Cops from Highway Three began tailing him a half-mile from the Rockaway Parkway exit, but had to wait to stop him because of the traffic jam.
When he was stopped, Lynch gave his name but refused to tell police where he was going.
A quick background check by police revealed that Lynch was most recently a patient at the Peninsula Hospital Center, and he was taken there for observation.
He was reunited with his family at the hospital center.
Police say that Lynch rode the adult trike a total of 10 miles by the time the cops pulled him over.

We didn't have internet for a few days last week, as my landlord's brother took our router, so I was a little frantic without it, especially since my friend, Lacey, was due to have her baby on the 25th and I wanted frequent updates. She ended up having her on the 30th, so congratulations to her and her new family! By the way, I was the one that set up our new internet and spent hours on the phone with technical support… you're welcome flatmates
This was definitely my most crazy New Years Eve celebration yet! Not because I drank and went wild, but because of the sheer number of people! Millions and millions of people everywhere; shoulder-to-shoulder! I read that 1.5 million people come into the city for NYE... I'll start from NYE day:
My friend Fanny (from day 1 in Oz) and her sister, Margeaux, were both coming for NYE. Fanny had to get a ride from her small town which took 4 hours. She was supposed to leave at noon, but didn't leave until after 2pm and then had to get to my house to drop her backpack off. Margeaux got here about 2 hours before Fanny, so we chatted and drank some wine and waited. When Fanny showed up about 7:30pm, we got ready and made some little drinks to bring with us to do a wee bit of celebrating. We got into the city by 8:30, then started walking into the Circular Quay area, which is where the Harbour Bridge and Opera House are and where it's supposed to be prime viewing. We heard the family fireworks show that started at 9, but couldn't see them because the tall buildings blocked our view. By the time we got to the Quay it was UNIMAGINABLY packed. There were gates to get into the actual Quay by the water and most were closed or full to capacity
Leaving the Quay was insanity. There were thousands (probably more) people all leaving the city and walking south toward train stations and whatnot. We just followed the crowds down George street until we got to a bar we thought we wanted to go to (right below my old cockroach-infested hostel) to have a few drinks, but most bars were full, so we just went home. It was about 3:00am when we finally walked into the house. The girls and I set up the empty room with a bed for them, and we all were sleeping by 4:00am.
Yesterday morning, Fanny, Margeaux and I had some blueberry muffins for breakfast (not even close to being as good as mom's, but sufficient for my MN blueberry craving). We sat around for a bit, then Lisa called and told us to come to the family's house she's staying at up in Seaforth (north of Sydney and Manly beach) for dinner and to stay the night. She was a nanny for a family and they were out of town, so we got to see an actual nice family neighborhood and a "real" house. We bought stuff for nachos and some wine and brownie mix and made dinner
Today I stopped in Bondi Junction on the way home and got a whole cart of groceries for when the girls come and spent $115! I pushed the cart full of groceries all the way home, which would have been slightly better if the cart didn't just go whatever way it pleased! I must have looked just pathetic and weak pushing it all the way back, and maybe a bit homeless, but I bought lots and needed to get it all home. After I got back and was sufficiently exhausted and sweaty, my roommate Damien asked why I just didn't get a cab… sure wish I would have considered that! Now we have a cart sitting in the front.
My sister, Kasshia, and cousin, Kelli, are coming tomorrow morning, so I've been just anxious and excited all day! I've been checking the flight status of the girls' MN to LA flight and it left 2 hours and 15 minutes late due to bad weather, but they've made it to LA just fine and they're due to leave LA any minute, so it seems to be going alright so far! They'll arrive tomorrow morning about 9am, so I'm going to go meet them and I still need to figure out the best way to get them home. I was just going to have them hop on the trains, but that sounds like a hassle with their big luggage. I'll figure it all out, no worries! I have no plans set in stone, as lots of things depend on the weather, but it should be a fantastic 2 weeks!
I hope you have a WONDERFUL 2011!!!

Very Strange Driving Laws
Some states and countries have very strange laws about driving and cars. Some are so bizarre you wonder how they could have gotten through state legislatures.
Let's take a look at a few.
Volvo –known for its safe cars—says that by 2017 it will put some 100 self driving cars on the road. Some say the self driving car could cut auto sales in half. Is America even ready for a self-driving car?
A study has shown that parents say the do the same dangerous driving behaviors they teach their kids not to do. It's awfully hard to convince kids not to do the same things their parents do behind the wheel. It's hard to have a talk with teens about driving. But some parents have their kids sign a parent-teen driving agreement to help prevent those bad driving habits.
The safest driving city in the U.S. is Ft. Collins, Colorado.
The most common reason most people fail a road test is improper yielding, even though parallel parking is the one skill that strikes terror into the hearts of those taking their road test for a driver's license.
In the Philippines, you can only drive on Mondays if your license tag ends in 1 or 2. If you think that's strange, in our own Arkansas, drivers must not blast their horn after 9 p.m. in any area where cold drinks or sandwiches are sold. Gotta wonder about the lobbyist that got that law through. Not to be outdone, Missouri it is not legal to honk the horn of someone else's car. Seriously?
And here's a strange one: you can not be blindfolded in Alabama while operating a vehicle. Good thing. If you did, how hard would it be to get low-cost Ohio auto insurance quotes. Pretty easy.
Not sure how much this is enforced in Denver, but drivers can't drive a black car on Sunday. And in Maine it is illegal to park in front of a Dunkin Donuts.
People in Alaska are breaking the law if the tie a dog to the roof of their car. Obviously, this must have happened but the fact that it required a law to forbid it doesn't say much for some Alaska drivers.
Do you think people driving country roads at night in Pennsylvania really stop every mile to detonate a rocket single so livestock know you're coming? By law, they must.

Field of view or FOV is a very important aspect (pun intended) of DayZ. I am going to guess that most of you have not customized your FOV, and some may have no idea what it is or why you might want to change it. Did you know that playing with the FOV settings wrong can actually make you sick? Plenty of people get headaches from straining to see a screen that is not set up correctly. There is also a massive tactical advantage to seeing the right amount, and the right parts of the screen.
What is FOV?
Phazon88 has created this animated .gif for Battlefield Bad Company 2 which uses the same system as ArmA 2 to set the FOV:
Pay attention to two things. One reason why we might want to increase our FOV from the default is because you get more peripheral vision. If you look on the left and right (the outside) of the two trees in the middle you can see that as the FOV increases, you can see more of the hill on the edge of the screen. This can be a life saver because often times a player has already seen you and has the drop on you. As you run by and pass him, he thinks you can't see him anymore, but you can. Don't forget that you can get a temporary FOV boost by either holding numpad – or by going into 3rd person view (numpad – works on there too).
Another situation that a wider FOV can help is in very close quarters battle, or CQB. Sometimes during CQB you might actually run past your adversary. Having a wider FOV can let you turn around and re-acquire your target much faster. This lets you spin around and get your shots off while he is still turning and looking for you. As well know the zombie AI is a little bit wild at the moment and a wider FOV can help you when you have multiple zed beating the crap out of you.
Of course there is a tradeoff to having a wider FOV. If you look in the middle of the .gif again you can see that as the FOV increases the center of the screen seems to get further away. There really is not too much I can think of to argue that this is good. Basically you are going to have a harder time seeing someone far away, and let's face it, far away is deadly in this game. Be very careful when you choose your FOV. You have to decide where the optimal point is. For me it is around 90 in most games, but for DayZ 90 should be your max unless you have a large/wide monitor.
BEWARE: Changing your FOV will most likely alter the way mildots and ranging works. I am investigating how and how much and will report back. RadikulRAM reports that if you mess up your file you can delete it and ArmA will make a fresh one.
Go to the next page for a step-by-step guide on how to change your FOV for DayZ and ArmA 2.
Changing Your FOV
Although I have enjoyed many XBox360 or Playstation games in the past, one of the reasons that I almost always play on the PC is because of the ability (usually) to change your FOV. Some games have quick sliders of settings, but ArmA 2 does not. Matter of fact it is not easy at all for the average user to adjust their FOV so I am going to help you out.
- Step 1. Navigate to My Documents/ArmA 2. Find the (your Username here).ArmA2OAProfile file. Make a copy of it somewhere to back it up. Open the file with Notepad or another text editor. Dayzrab mentions that XP users might find it in "Arma 2 Other Profiles".
- Step 2. Scroll towards the bottom of the file and look for the entries for fovTop and fovLeft. These are the values we will be changing, but please write the originals down if you didn't backup the file in case you need to revert.
- Step 3. Use this calculator to figure out your FOV values. Do not just put the number you want into the .ArmA2Profile file or it will not work. Pay attention to your Resolution (screen width and height).
- Step 4. Input the following into a Google search bar – "x degrees in radians" without quotation marks, where x is the number you calculated in the previous step.
- Step 5. Change the fovTop to the number you have now, which is your calculated FOV in radians. You should round off to 2 decimal places to the right.
- Step 6. Grab a calculator (or type into a Google search bar) and DIVIDE your new fovTop number by the SECOND number in your monitors Aspect Ratio. Click here for a guide on how to figure out your Aspect Ratio. Find the box with your monitors Resolution and that color is the same as an Aspect Ratio circle in the lower right corner if you don't know it.
- Step 7. Now take the result of Step 6 and MULTIPLY that by the FIRST number of your Aspect Ratio. Again, round off the number to 2 decimal places. Enter this number as your new fovLeft value.
- Step 8. Save the new file. You should have a new FOV when you restart the game.
If you encounter any problems go back to your back up .ArmA2OAProfile file and either email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or use the form here.

I find two things very interesting.
1) That, while Edmonton has a potential modern day dynasty of sorts on their hands with Yakupov, RNH, Eberle, Hall, and Schultz...what the hell are they going to do when they're all due for raises? I mean...if you thought a core of Crosby/Malkin/Staal/Fleury was hard to keep together then wait till a few seasons from now.
2. NJ might potentially lose both Brodeur and Parise this off-season and they probably will. Kind of up **** creek without a paddle there. I see them doing a lot worse next season.

Home Uterine Activity Monitoring (HUAM)
DESCRIPTIONThe home uterine activity monitor (HUAM) is a device intended to provide early detection of preterm labor (PTL) in women at high risk of developing PTL and preterm birth (PTB). The monitoring device consists of a guard-ring tocodynamometer (worn as a belt around the abdomen), a data recorder, and a data transmitter. Usually, the patient is instructed to use the device daily for two 1-hour periods. After monitoring, the patient is supposed to transmit the recordings by telephone modem link to a remote base station. Base station nurses not only facilitate transmission and analysis of the monitor tracings, they also maintain daily telephone contact with the patient to assess signs and symptoms and to provide advice and counseling.
Nurses employed in HUAM services look for evidence of the onset of PTL, either on the basis of uterine activity exceeding a threshold level or from the findings of a telephone interview with the patient. Signs and symptoms of PTL include back pain, increased vaginal discharge, menstrual-like cramps, and pelvic pressure or heaviness. The threshold number of uterine contractions signaling the possible onset of PTL is usually 4 to 6 per hour. If signs and symptoms are present or the uterine activity exceeds a certain threshold, patients are instructed to perform the following: empty the bladder, hydrate orally, and assume the left lateral recumbent position. The patient is also instructed to remonitor for one additional hour. If uterine activity still exceeds threshold or signs and symptoms persist, the patient is instructed to see her physician immediately for a cervical examination. The cervical examination would then play a pivotal role in diagnosing whether PTL is occurring and whether to initiate tocolytic therapy.
In March 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reclassified HUAMs from class III (Premarket Approval) to class II (Special Controls) devices. The HUAM is a post-amendment device and thus, was automatically reclassified into class III. Devices with 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA include the Fetal Assist (Huntleigh Diagnostics, Eatontown, NJ) and the Carefone Home Uterine Activity Monitoring System (Carelink Corp, Santa Ana, CA). The HUAM is described as an electronic system for at home antepartum measurement of uterine contractions, data transmission by telephone to a clinical setting, and for receipt and display of the uterine contraction data at the clinic. The HUAM system comprises a tocotransducer, an at-home recorder, a modem, and a computer and monitor that receive, process, and display data. The FDA indicates that the device is intended for use in women at least 24 weeks' gestation with a previous preterm delivery to aid in the detection of preterm labor.
Related medical policies include Acute and Maintenance Tocolysis and Progesterone Therapy as a Technique to Reduce Preterm Birth in High-Risk Pregnancies.
POLICYThe daily use of a home uterine activity monitor (HUAM) and/or daily nursing contact is considered not medically necessary and not eligible for coverage under any and all settings and situations.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSFederal Employee Program (FEP) may dictate that all FDA-approved devices, drugs or biologics may not be considered investigational and thus these devices may be assessed only on the basis of their medical necessity.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
Investigative is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized as a generally accepted standard of good medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and; therefore, is not considered medically necessary. For the definition of Investigative, "generally accepted standards of medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. In order for equipment, devices, drugs or supplies [i.e, technologies], to be considered not investigative, the technology must have final approval from the appropriate governmental bodies, and scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect of the technology on health outcomes, and the technology must improve the net health outcome, and the technology must be as beneficial as any established alternative and the improvement must be attainable outside the testing/investigational setting.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has yet to issue a notice, but a recall is in the works for Festool's new plunge saw, the TS 55 REQ.
There have been reports of unspecified problems with the plunge mechanism that can create a safety hazard. Festool notified the CPSC and will be undertaking a voluntary recall of affected saws. Shane Holland, the administrator of the Festool Owner's Group (FOG) posted the following statement on that forum:
Festool has notified the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada of a potential problem with the plunge mechanism on some TS 55 REQ Plunge-Cut Track Saws. While investigation is continuing, Festool, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), intends to recall affected units. If you have a TS 55 REQ Plunge Cut Track Saw, please discontinue use immediately and call Festool directly at 1-855-784-9727.
Lee Valley Tools, which sells Festool products, posted this notice on their website:
"Festool has advised all dealers to stop selling and to return all existing stock of the TS 55 REQ Plunge Cut Circular Saw (ZT561556) due to a potential performance issue. If you have a TS 55 REQ Plunge Cut Track Saw, please discontinue use immediately and call Festool directly at 1-855-784-9727 (toll-free) for further information about your options."
Victor Rasilla has been testing a TS 55 REQ for Tools of the Trade and he experienced problems with the plunge mechanism of that saw. According to Rasilla, the tool is equipped with a dog that is intended to hold the saw in the partially plunged position while blades are being changed. The dog is activated by the FastFix lever; folding the lever out causes the dog to extend and engage with a detent in the back of the blade housing. The problem is the dog does not fully retract when the lever is folded back in so it tends to catch in the detent while the saw is being plunged (it doesn't happen every time). This is at best annoying because it makes for rough plunging and at worst dangerous because it can prevent the blade from fully retracting at the end of the cut. Rasilla showed me the problem he was having and it looks to me like the dog on his saw is a little too long.
I called Michael Williams, the Vice President of Marketing for Festool, and asked if the problem Rasilla experienced is the one that caused them to notify the CPSC. Williams said he was not in a position to confirm or deny – not because he didn't want to but because once a company files with the CPSC there are strict rules against speaking out before the agency decides whether or not there will be a recall. It can take months to issue a recall because the CPSC must go through a process that involves independently verifying what the problem is – even if the manufacturer knows exactly what it is. Williams encourages people who own TS 55 REQ saws not to wait for a recall but to stop using the saws and contact Festool. According to Williams the company's goal is to remove from service those saws that may be unsafe and to make sure that everyone who buys from Festool is satisfied with the tools and service they receive. You can reach them by calling 1-855-784-9727.

You can't carry concealed at all without a permit. So how many places do you actually go that you wouldn't be able to carry with a permit?
At first I really wanted to get my CWP, but after speaking with the cop that lives next door to me it seems that the negatives outway the benifits of having one.
I read over the SC SLED handgun laws and it doesnt look like you can carry concealed hardly anywhere?
I would like to hear yalls opinions on this...
You can't carry concealed at all without a permit. So how many places do you actually go that you wouldn't be able to carry with a permit?
Actually SC law says that a hunter or fisherman going to or from, or while in the act of hunting or fishing, may carry a handgun (un-concealed)...and of course you can have a concealed weapon in your car at all times in SC.
After reviewing all of the laws regarding the permit, it looks as if you cannot carry concealed, (with a permit)...on private property unless you have the owners consent, or in any kind of government building, or in a publuc gathering place...I guess this is refering to places like Wal-Mart, Malls, or anywhere you would go shopping? The penalties for carrying and getting caught in those places are harsh...
I would love to have a CCW but the implacations that come with it, I could do without.
Am I just mis-interpreting the law or is this yalls take on it as well?
It's better to have protection some of the time than never.
Get your CCW..
I think I will if for no other reason than the fact that I travel alot, It would be a pain in the butt taking the gun out and putting it in the trunk in Alabama! lol
I'll just get an SC permit and a Utah on top of it...that looks like I will be able to carry just about everywhere in the south.
At least go take the class. I do think you are legal in Wal Mart. Government Buildings, Bars, Medical Faculties are not legal. Will tell you I have two friends who do tote everywhere they go for they both said well only become known if it is needed. There are two sides to that argument.
I carry everywhere. What implications are you talking about?? Take the class, and an instructor will explain everything to you.
You can carry anywhere without a "legal" sign. Fed buildings, schools, medical facilities, churches, places that sell alcohol for consumption, etc. are off limits, of course.
Total disclosure: I'm a CWP instructor.
This is not meant to be all inclusive, but consider these plusses:
You can not carry concealed anywhere without one;
CWP holders are the only civilians that can have a concealable weapon in their car while on school grounds;
CWP holders can carry concealed anywhere on an Interstate Hwy facility in SC;
CWP holders can carry concealed on any SC state park;
CWP holders can carry concealed into any private business establishment that is not properly signed otherwise (unless it's licensed for on premise consumption of alcohol), including banks. The charge for carrying into a place with a properly posted sign is trespassing. Hardly harsh.
(but the on premises consumption thing carries a harsher penalty and can also cause a federal prohibition on firearms ownership.);
There are 18 states that have reciprocity agreements w/ SC and probably more that honor ours even tho' we don't honor theirs;
CWP holders get to take advantage of the NCIC exception when buying guns from dealers;
Even if you decide to never actually make use of the CWP, the training in legals alone can potentially save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Or your freedom.
There is a list of places you can not carry, but these should, at worst, be considered neutrals rather than negatives because no non-LEO can carry in these places. The CWP does not impose an additional burden.
If you get the right instructor, you may even get some valuable firearms training. Some will do it in less than the minimum mandatory 8 hours. Avoid them like the plague.
My advice: Do it.
I agree with what has already been posted. I carry everywhere I can. Especially when going to the atm, gas station at night, walmart anytime, driving out of town, in my yard etc. etc..
Where can I find out how many CWPs were in each county in SC by year? I carry everywhere except Government building, school, bar, and places that have sign prohibiting. I leave in car console then. My rule of thumb is, I'd rather 12 try me than 4 carry me.
I carry every where that is legal and use common sense. I'd rather have her on me and not need her than not have her and need her. Government buildings, schools, any place licenced to sale alcohol, churchs, and any building with the proper sign posted that prohibits is the only exceptions you won't find my baby on me.
The only place that I don't carry, is govt. buildings.....If they have a sign posted, I carry anyway........or just not do business with them anymore....I will take a chance on a tresspassing citation, and the only way I can get one, is, if someone knows I have the firearm, and/or, if I don't leave when asked. Here, as long as you do not consume alcohol, you can legally carry in a bar.
gov't buildings, medical facilities, churches, schools are not legal to carry. Anywhere else pretty much is unless there are legal properly posted no concealed weapons signs. I have been in places where there are signs saying, no weapons, etc, but unless they are legal size and placement at all entrances to the facilities, they are not enforceable. If the owner asks you to leave and you refuse, you can be arrested for that, but not simply by carrying onto a premesis where there is not a legal sign posted, unless of course it is a no carry area to begin with. You also can open carry on your own property, but nowhere else, unless you are engaged in hunting. Also you can carry into restaurants serving alcohol, but can not consume the alcohol while you are carrying. It's really not all that restrictive here.

Date of Stay: October, 2015
Stayed here for three nights this October and September 2014. The place is clean, quiet, and perfectly placed for exploring the Finger Lakes. We had 30 amp, water and sewer. We will return next year.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
We were warned, after we had paid for our reservation, about the stock car track next door. It has Saturday night races and Tuesday night practice. If you are not a fan, it is best to stay inside with the windows and door closed. It is loud! We experienced low voltage which made it impossible to use either the microwave or toaster oven. If it weren't for our on board power manager, we might have had more serious problems. Although management denied there was a problem, one of the seasonal campers told us that other campers had experienced similar difficulties. This is a beautiful area full of friendly people but we would not return to this park.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This campground is on top of a hill with many sites having a view of Long Lake. The sites are clean and spacious and the people are friendly. The staff is very accommodating. There are quite a few seasonal campers who are welcoming. There is a popular restaurant on the property.

Minnesota and Norwegian troops come together
CAMP RIPLEY — On Saturday the chief of defense for Norway, General Harald Sunde, arrived via Blackhawk helicopter amid a small snow flurry and with much fanfare from the Norwegian soldiers that are training at Camp Ripley for the next two weeks.
"Our two nations share great values, together we stand up against terrorism — this is a very important mission and we have an obligation to get our soldiers together not only on the battlefield but back at home," Sunde said.
The 40th Norwegian Exchange (NOREX) featured an evening feast prepared by the Norwegian contingent's own chef as well as customary food and drinks for soldiers and community leaders to enjoy and learn about the culinary culture of Norway. Various preparations of salmon, reindeer, lamb and moose were paired with authentic cheeses, salads and fish soup.
During the meal a cultural presentation was shown, shedding light on the military history of Norway, and a look into the beauty of the Norwegian countryside.
"This event brings young men and women soldiers together to create friendship and long-lasting relations," Sunde said.
"Today I had the opportunity to talk to some of our soldiers about the experience of the exchange," he continued. "Face to face, soldiers can discuss lessons learned, what they had done and talk about their piece of equipment — that is really what is bringing this friendship forward."
After a night of bonding and fellowship, the Norwegians worshipped with Minnesota Army National Guard Soldiers at a bilingual church service. Praying and singing in both languages, the theme continued to be one of brotherhood between the nations.
The chief of defense for Norway, Sunde is the highest ranking officer of the Norwegian military, second only to the King of Norway. In addition to acting as Norway's NATO military committee representative, he is the top advisor to the Norwegian government regarding military issues.
Sunde returned to Norway on Monday to recognize and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Norwegian/United States Troop Reciprocal Exchange program — the oldest such program in Norway and the Department of Defense.

This is surely not the best of times for our nation- we are
reeling under extremely adverse economic situations and there is
near universal talk about the stagnation that has taken place. The
corridors of power are plagued with policy paralysis of the highest
level as the common man suffers extreme rise in prices. At the
world level it is almost certain that the India story is over as
our leaders and the nation cut an extremely sorry figure on the
world stage.
It is such a situation that HOPE becomes a virtue in rarity but when that ray of hope does emerge, expect the entire nation to rally around it. This is exactly what is happening vis-à-vis Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. In these gloomy times, the country now sees a guiding light in Modi who has already made a mark for himself in the sphere of providing good governance.
It is not only reputed international magazines, global think tanks, Indian intellectual voices but also the common man, the farmers and the youth of India that have accepted Gujarat's developmental strides in the last decade! It is these people who see Narendra Modi as the future of the nation and recently a reputed author and an opinion accurately spelt out the mood of the nation from the Internet to the streets of Bihar.
In the first week, on Jul 2, unconnected but extremely relevant pieces of work on Indian politics took the Internet and Social Media by storm. Even though the writer profile and the nature of respondents were as different as chalk and cheese, the point that both pieces drove home was one and the same.
On Jul 1, the Times of India carried an article by Chetan Bhagat in which he wrote about an online poll he had conducted to ask with Facebook fans the 'simple' question- "Who should be India's PM?" Bhagat goes on that add that there were over 10,000 responses and out of that a whooping 82% of the votes went to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi while Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi could gather merely 5% of the votes. 13% of the participants chose neither.
Around the same time, another opinion poll made it to the front page of every news site but it was different from the one that Bhagat took. 'Lens on News' conducted a comprehensive opinion poll in Bihar with a similar question- "who is the best PM after the next Lok Sabha elections?"
Conducted towards the end of Jun (as contemporary as it gets), the Lens on News Poll criss crossed Bihar and covered the views of a sample of 2147 voters across 9 seats that spanned across the length and breadth of the state. While taking into account the numbers, we must note that the survey not only covered Bihar's geographic spread but also its demographic diversity.
The findings of the poll can truly leave even the biggest of political pundits in India stunned. Leading the pack was Narendra Modi yet again with 36% of the total votes followed by Rahul Gandhi at 15%. Bihar's incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar stood a poor 3rd with 12%. In a direct contest between Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi, 71% of the respondents believed Modi's stature is higher as compared to that of his Bihar counterpart and 61% of the people disapproved of Nitish's rigid posture against Modi. Most interestingly, the poll revealed that 38% of the people would prefer voting BJP as compared to 16% for JD(U) if Narendra Modi is to lead the party in 2014.
The point of this article is not to paint the town red merely with the results of the survey (because they have already become the toast of social media and beyond). What I do seek to bring out are some of the salient features that may miss the eye but merit great attention.
As I have mentioned above, the nature of respondents who answered the surveys is strikingly different. Chetan Bhagat drew his answers from a largely well aware, techno savvy group of people while the Lens on News Polls drew answers from the interiors of Bihar's hinterland for whom the Internet is a luxury.
Interestingly, both these groups of people fall outside the BJP's core group of voters drawn to the party fold on the basis of its ideology. While there is immense middle class penetration by the BJP (by and large the group of people answering Chetan Bhagat's polls) this class is not known to have any fixed loyalties to any party. Infact, in 2009, it was widely believed that they had actually preferred 'Singh is King' Dr Manmohan Singh over any other leader, party or front. Thus, one cannot ignore this wave of support from the educated, upwardly mobile and techno savvy sections of society for Narendra Modi.
Similarly, Bihar has been a tough one for the BJP. The caste equations and overtly socialist political climate has not made BJP one of the most popular parties there. Despite undeniable support, the party has still required a big brother to capture power in the state. It may be recalled that LK Advani's 1990 Rath Yatra was halted in Bihar only. Despite this, for Narendra Modi to lead the race for PM and even take the BJP at pole position in the state is a conclusion that cannot be taken lightly.

The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen, includes healthy, meatless recipes like Cashew Cream; Beet Ravioli with Balsamic Pickled Figs and Green Garlic Oil; Agave-Lime Grilled Tofu with Asian Slaw and Mashed Sweet Potatoes; and Paella with "Sausage," Nori-Dusted Oyster Mushrooms, and Wine-Braised Artichoke Hearts.
by Tal Ronnen
The Conscious Cook is a breakthrough in vegan cuisine. By teaching readers how to make truly satisfying and delicious meals without the meat and dairy, it makes the shift to a vegan lifestyle easy.
A former steak lover himself, Chef Tal struggled for years on a vegan diet that left him hungry and filled with cravings for butter and meat. About ten years ago, he decided that the best way to satisfy his dietary desires was to make food that was good enough for "foodies" and could gratify his cravings for rich flavor and fat. The solution? Create vegan meals with substantial proteins that could literally change the way people eat. He studied all aspects of non-meat proteins and today is widely regarded as the expert in the field, developing new concepts for meals and sauces and helping to improve textures for food companies such as Gardein (the provider of vegetable proteins used by Morningstar Farms, It's All Good, Trader Joe's brands, and the prepared food department of Whole Foods, to name a few).
The Conscious Cook features a center-of-the-plate protein in all of its entrees-a first for vegan cookbooks. Seventy-five original recipes are organized by categories that include starters and small plates, soups and salads, entrees, and desserts. Each recipe is accompanied by stunning full-color photographs.
Chef Tal Ronnen is the most celebrated vegan chef working today. In the spring of 2008, he became known nationwide as the chef who prepared vegan meals for Oprah Winfrey's 21-day vegan cleanse. He has since catapulted to fame, catering Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's vegan wedding, Arianna Huffington's party at the Democratic National Convention, and the first vegan dinner at the U.S. Senate.
