Looking for #6521 Temp/Voltage, #6520 RPM? Horizon and Tower and Traxxas all say out of stock, any ideas on where to find them online?
Ebay is your friend.
Land of the free?
They even getting scarce on ebay.
P2DE Driver.
Nothing on Ebay except for the power tap thing...
Quite honestly that's a henious crime by Traxxas, they apparently have enough resources to get the link systems out the door but fall over when it comes to an equal amount of sensors. Don't get me started on the whole $900 for a B-Revo with the link system but you have to spend an extra $35 on sensors..... I mean how cheap is that?
i was pretty disappointed in that too... i dont even know what stuff you have to get, or how to install it......
kawasaki summit, revo& slash; regular rusty, pede
Basically you need an RPM sensor, Temp sensor, Voltage tap, Magnet trigger for the RPM sensor, a modified spur gear cover (for revo) which accepts the RPM sensor and a little strap to hold the temp sensor on the motor.
I would ask why the strap to hold the temp sensor on is not included with the temp sensor, that's just dumb, and if the answer is to save costs, the thing is a tie wrap and tiny plastic restraint, I'm 100% sure the packaging costs more than the item. LOL
thanks man, i appreciate it
kawasaki summit, revo& slash; regular rusty, pede
Seems they're nowhere to be found. Looked all over eBay and went about 10 pages back in a Google search hoping I'd find some little place that would get overlooked but they're out everywhere. Frustrating. Traxxas take my money!
all out of stock. even in ebay
New stock, from what I was told, should be arriving (hopefully) in stores late September to mid October. Hopefully.
P2DE Driver.
I went ahead and pre-ordered everything from a place online. When I did it said expecting it "early" September but when I checked the status the other day it changed to early October.
yeah this sucks, i have a new transmitter and no sensors. Hopefully traxxas gets these out soon.
I just got all the stuff needed to add the telemetry to my e-revo brushless at future shop / best buy in Canada.
Tower has the short sensors: buy them along with short servo extensions.

Although simple, this example portrays the essential parts of a shell program. In this example we can appreciate how other examples like the tokenizer can get merged with new code to create a new program. Also a basic introduction to the creation of child processes is exemplified. Lastly, this program has got some small bugs, but serves as a basic model for later improvement.

Carole King night on "American Idol" turned out to be just what the favorites needed to prove their ability to put their own spin on some American standards.
The danger in going with this kind of theme is that if the singers don't put their own spin on the songs, it becomes the stuff that high-school talent show third-place finishers are made of. That was especially true for the guys, who probably saw the list of choices from the prolific singer-songwriter's handbook and had to look a little harder for something they could work with.
Scotty McCreery, for example, didn't find a lot of obvious country numbers to choose from. So he did the next best thing, in taking "You've Got a Friend" and using the arrangement and his distinctive voice to make it a cover worthy of Nashville radio. This turned out to be the best thing possible for him. In forcing him to pick something besides a country standard, the challenge allowed him to prove that he can fit anything into his comfort zone.
U.S. & World
That holds true for James Durbin as well. Shockingly enough, King did not write a whole lot of numbers for the metal acts that Durbin enjoys. He gave his own treatment to her first major songwriting hit, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow."
The way Jennifer Lopez was moving around, it was obvious that her answer was going to be a strong "yes." Randy Jackson was also impressed by the effort, saying that the rocker had proved he's a great singer. "You know what I think, guys? This guy might win the whole thing!" he suggested.
It was hard not to love this version because it showed Durbin could succeed without the flash and dash he's exhibited in previous weeks. The finish wasn't as good as the start, but it was still an excellent performance.
Lauren Alaina was also strong again, even though she was surprised when Miley Cyrus crashed her session with mentor Jimmy Iovine. "You will always hear mean comments," Cyrus told Alaina, like when someone goes on national television telling a fresh face that they should crush you when covering your song. Oh, right … Iovine did that a couple of weeks ago when Alaina sang "The Climb." Awkward!
Guest mentor Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds was also there in the weekly "Tell Lauren Alaina to Trust Her Abilities and Go For It" confidence course. He laid everything on the table when she said she was nervous about hitting certain notes.
"Have you ever gone for it and not hit it?" Babyface asked.
"No," Alaina replied.
"Duh," Babyface said, verbalizing the audience's thoughts.
Alaina sang "The Gilmore Girls" theme "Where You Lead (I Will Follow)," pulling a 19-year-old male fan onstage for greater effect. It was a winning effort, though host Ryan Seacrest did make a point of reminding the young man that Alaina was just 16 and that her dad was in the audience.
Your (likely) bottom three
Neither Alaina, Durbin or McCreery have been in the bottom three yet this season, and since each sang well on Wednesday, that likely means the remaining singers will have to sweat a little bit more on Thursday's results show.
Steven Tyler loved Haley Reinhart — "I just saw God. I heard God in your voice," he said — and she did fine work with "Beautiful." Reinhart's strength is that she always looks like she's thrilled to death to be performing live before such an awesome audience. That will help her cause, but she also has the least margin for error of anyone.
Casey Abrams found something that worked for him in "Hi-De-Ho (That Old Sweet Roll)." It was a vintage Abrams performance, over the top and corny while still showcasing his vocal range. While previous judges might have slammed his act for being too self-indulgent, this crew continues to buy whatever it is he's selling.
It was definitely entertaining. Iovine noted that Abrams always lives on the edge in terms of his creativity. One of these weeks that's going to do him in, but in the meantime, he's consistently the most fun "Idol" finalist to watch.
The singer in the biggest trouble is probably Jacob Lusk. The most memorable part of his cover of "Oh No, Not My Baby" was his wardrobe. It contained every color under the sun in something that looked like it came out of a cartoon.
Teamwork doesn't pay
In addition to their solos, the "Idol" six each sang a duet. That turned out to benefit ... well, nobody, since none of the three efforts were great.
The best of them was the first, the Abrams-Reinhart rendition of "I Feel the Earth Move." The chemistry between the two onstage is the best of any of the "Idol" pairings this season. While this wasn't as good as their effort a couple of weeks ago, it was the most entertaining of the night.
McCreery and Alaina should, theoretically, work well together. That's why the producers keep pairing them off. But even though both live in the country arena, their voices don't blend as well together. "Up on the Roof" was fine, but it wasn't as good as either managed in their solos.
Durbin and Lusk drew the short end of the stick, as they had to sing "I'm Into Something Good" with each other after the two remaining girls were assigned elsewhere by the producers. They gamely tried to make that work, but it's tough being the two guys left standing by the bleachers as everyone else pairs off with the partner of their choice.
Wardrobe malfunction
In the "gotta love the live acts" category, Reinhart's solo was delayed for a moment because of a problem with her earpiece. And by "problem," I mean it fell back into her dress.
At least, that's the explanation Seacrest tweeted. Fortunately, some techs reportedly fished it out and the performance went off without a hitch.

(March 2 Reuters) Ukraine has put its armed forces on full alert and warned Russia that military intervention will lead to war shortly after Vladimir Putin gave the green light for an invasion as the upper house of the Russian parliament unanimously approved his request to send troops into the neighbouring state. On Sunday morning reports said Russian military servicemen had seized weapons from a radar base and naval training facility in Ukraine's Crimea region where they urged personnel to side with the peninsula's "legitimate" leaders; while other Russian troops were said to have removed weapons from a Ukrainian navy training centre in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol. After a three-hour meeting with security and defence chiefs on Saturday, prime minister Arseny Yatseniuk said he had called for talks and urged Russia to return its soldiers to base in the Crimea region during a phone call with his counterpart Dmitry Medvedev. "Military intervention would be the beginning of war and the end of any relations between Ukraine and Russia," Yatseniuk said. Ukraine's acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, said he had put the armed forces on full readiness because of the threat of "potential aggression" as 15,000 Russian troops were said to have joined those who have effectively seized Crimea. Speaking live on TV, Turchynov said he had also ordered stepped-up security at nuclear power plants, airports and other strategic infrastructure.
The Russian press is continuing to paint a picture of ethnic Russians under siege in Ukraine. Itar-Tass news agency, which describes itself as "the state central information agency", reports that Russia's border guard service said some 675,000 Ukrainians have left for Russia in January and February this year and warned that there are signs of a "humanitarian catastrophe". Tass quotes the service as saying: "If 'revolutionary chaos' in Ukraine continues, hundreds of thousands of refugees will flow into bordering Russian regions".
Members of Ukraine's infamous Berkut riot police from all over the country are seeking Russian passports along with their families, the major of the Crimean Berkut detachment Viktor Denisenko told journalists, Ria Novosti reports. Previously, the Moscow police announced they would form a special unit from former members of Berkut, which had answered directly to President Viktor Yanukovych and was a main instrument of violence against protestors in Kiev but was disbanded last week, after the ousting of Yanukovych.

Anticipating Life On The Outside
To someone on the outside, I bet it makes sense that going through the rigorous treatment for cancer would be the hardest part of a diagnosis. Getting the diagnosis is earth shattering and the following treatment is no walk in the park. Hospital stays, surgery, radiation rays through the skin. Yeah, on the outside that doesn't sound fun at all.
But from the time of my diagnosis, I've been on a focused path of being cancer-free again. I stopped going to work and instead woke up every day with only one job to do – get healthy again.
But what happens when I am healthy again? For six months, my life has been going to appointments, taking pills, dealing with fatigue and illness, and of course, walking the dog. But when the cancer is gone and I get a clear bill of health, how am I going to jump back into "normal" life as a citizen of the world again? I haven't even been inside a shopping mall for six months!
In my opinion, being told you're cancer-free is arguably harder than the initial diagnosis itself. With cancer I was told what to expect, but I have no idea what to expect of life post-cancer. Even as my hair grows back, the chemo fog lifts, and the fatigue slowly melts away, will I ever feel truly healthy again? There will always be a looming scan in the future and fear of hearing another diagnosis from a doctor's lips.
Currently I am in this weird waiting period between my last chemo and a scan checking in on its effect. The scan will either show lingering cancer the doctors will want to radiate, or show no signs of cancer and I get to skip out of the hospital cancer-free once again.
But waking up cancer-free knowing what it's like to wake up with cancer is not as relieving and joyous as it sounds. Especially in the first few months as my body slowly recovers and I learn to adjust back to my old life. As I adjust to being a girl in her 20's again instead of that sick girl who watches too many movies.
I remember driving home from the hospital after being chained to an IV pole in the oncology ward for a month. It is so, so weird to be stuck inside one building for that amount of time. Kind of what I imagine jail to be like. Even though I was in my hometown the whole time, as I drove toward my house, it all felt so strange and foreign. My house was the same, but I was walking through it differently with a whole new perspective.
As I come closer to my cancer-free date, I feel very similar. Although this time I've been free to move around, it's as if the news will allow me to step outside this bubble I've been living in for six months. In some ways it will be a refreshing breath of fresh air. In other ways, it will also feel so strange and foreign. The world will certainly look a lot different, and that can be scary.
I am not trying to be poetic here. In all seriousness, the first thing I'm doing when I'm cancer-free is walking into a bar and ordering a drink.
And then another.
Homemade Pita Bread
It's hurry up and wait time around here again. It's been two weeks since my last chemo with three more weeks until the scan that will show if there's any cancer left. I figured there's no better way to signify this waiting period than to make dough…
And wait for it to rise.
No, not bagels yet (soon, I promise!). But this week I tackled another bread that's been on the to-do list for a while – pita bread!
I've finally figured out the environment that best encourages active yeast and rising dough in my kitchen. I start with 100F degree water with a few pinches of sugar and activate the yeast with a hot, damp towel over the bowl in the microwave (turned off, obviously). It gets wonderfully bubbly after 10 minutes.
My newest trick?
A KitchenAid stand mixer!! It was a Christmas gift. So shiny. So beautiful. So dang useful. I broke it in by allowing it to knead the dough for 10 minutes while I rested my gimp left arm.
My next trick for rising dough is sticking it back in the microwave with a hot towel over top and a couple thermoses of boiling water.
Punching it is arguably the best part. Makes all that waiting worth it.
For pita bread, you have to divide the dough and roll it into balls first.
Once the dough is settled, roll it out and stick it in a very hot oven. I had mine a bit hotter at 450F. This is where you can gasp and yelp in amazement.
THEY PUFF UP!! I promptly called my sister into the room going "Look! Look!" Once you place the flat dough on the hot pan in the oven, it only takes seconds for them to start bubbling up and separating in the middle.
The recipe I followed can be found here. The pita bread was delicious, but I wouldn't say perfect for my first attempt. Not all of them puffed fully and I found they were too fluffy. I would definitely recommend the hotter oven temperature and I think next time I'll roll them out thinner. They also really do get crispy when kept in the oven for longer than three minutes.
Coincidentally, I had some homemade hummus on hand. (a very basic version – 1 can drained chickpeas, 2 tbsp liquid from can, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp tahini, 2 small cloves garlic, 1 tsp cumin, salt, pepper, all in the food processor!)
In completely unrelated news…
Her name is Maggie Mae, her previous owner named her Megara, which my mom said was too 'cumbersome.' She's a 12-week-old Havanese. Super shy and cuddly. So soft and fluffy!
Buster scared the bejesus out of her when he came bounding into my mom's house and straight for her. He, err, comes on a little strong with other dogs sometimes.
And in more news, I'm calling the vet today to get Buster fixed. No more waiting with that one!
Resolved To Be Healthy
Yup, I am one of those annoying people not jumping on the resolution train this year. Partly because I now face another year having not completed my goals from the year before. But also because I am too exhausted from the cancer debacle to force myself to do anything other than recover and get better in this new year.
In 2011, I set out to make switches rather than goals:
1. Switch out sugary desserts with natural sweets.
2. Switch out 5 minutes of internet time with meditation time.
3. Switch out one workout a week with yoga.
4. Switch out unreplied emails for replied ones.
Well, I am here to tell you that I did not successfully complete any of them! In my defense, six weeks after I set these goals, I shattered my left elbow and couldn't do yoga anymore. I hate meditating. I have a sweet tooth that a piece of fruit will never be able to satisfy. And well, the email thing is always a headache. I have a bad habit of reading emails on my phone, marking them as "read," then forgetting to ever reply.
I used to be a big goal setter, and I do still think there is a time and place for them. But when it comes to "life" I now know there are just too many variables to think I can set myself on a linear path. The universe has very much forced me to become a "go with the flow" type person, and I sometimes feel there is just too much rigidity to goals. Plus, why would I ever want to set myself up for failure? That's just depressing.
In August 2011, shortly after I started chemotherapy, I listed newer, more fun goals. I would instead call them things to look forward to, rather than additional items to add to my to-do list.
1. Write an outline for a book.
2. Travel somewhere in North America.
3. Bake croissants and bagels.
4. Get a dog.
5. Run.
See? Doesn't that sound so much better?
As for #1, I flip flop with this a lot. I feel like every person with a cancer diagnosis is writing a book these days. It took me a really long time to come up with a concept that I think is different and would appeal to a mass audience. With that said, I feel like I still need more space from this cancer thing before I start seriously writing it. I also don't think I'd make any money off a book, so I'm not sure if the time I put into it would be worth it.
As for #2, if I'm healthy enough I plan on travelling to Boulder, Colorado in May for the Blend Retreat! #3 will likely happen in the next few months. I'm going to start on #5 as soon as I'm told I'm cancer-free (soon, I hope!).
And we all know how #4 turned out :)
Instead of fretting over resolutions this year, Buster Bartholomew and I headed over to my mom's house for a New Year's feast! I still can't drink until my chemo meds wear off, so I cooked like a fiend instead.
Three kinds of meatballs, 60 in total, with dipping sauces for each.
Leah's Lemon Rosemary Turkey Meatballs. I didn't make the sauce for these, but found that hummus was the perfect dipping sauce! They were also good with leftover cranberry sauce from Christmas dinner.
Sweet and Sour Pork Meatballs. I didn't make the sauce for these either and instead dipped in bottled plum sauce.
Tofu Balls in a Peanut Sauce. I've made these tofu balls a bunch of times and they are amazing every time. I especially like them with the peanut sauce!
This New Year's Eve was certainly much more low key than I'm used to, and I'm not really a "low key" person when it comes to these things. But I'll make up for it next year. I've got a lot of making up to do in 2012!
Meanwhile, it seems Archie's resolution was to be nicer to Buster. Even if it's only for short periods at a time.
Anyone else out there make any resolutions?

2006 Turkey Baiting Violations
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents have issued citations to 34 people for allegedly hunting turkeys over baited areas during the 2006 spring gobbler season. The citations have been issued throughout Louisiana and many were the result of reports by concerned sportsmen of suspected illegally baited hunting spots.
According to LDWF Enforcement Division Lt. Col. Keith LaCaze, illegal baiting for turkeys is not a new problem and may even be on the increase. "We receive numerous reports of illegally baited areas just prior to and during the early days of the spring gobbler season. For the last few years, it seems to be more widespread," LaCaze said. "We urge anyone who has any information about illegal turkey hunting activity to report it by calling the Louisiana Operation Game Thief hotline at 1-800-442-2511."
Louisiana law prohibits hunting, trapping or taking turkey by the aid of baiting, or on or over any baited area. Baiting is the placing, exposing, depositing, distributing or scattering of corn, wheat or other grain, salt or other feed so as to constitute for turkeys a lure or attraction to, on, or over any areas where hunters are attempting to take them. An illegally baited area shall remain a baited area for 15 days following complete removal of all the baited materials.
Hunting turkeys over bait is punishable by fines of $250 to $500, or jail for not more than 90 days, or both plus court costs.
Those cited for hunting turkeys over bait thus far during the 2006 spring gobbler season are as follows:
Region1: James T. Tuggle, 44, Samuel C. Guthrie, 64, Ronald S. Daniels, 27, Ronald L. Daniels, 61, Billy J. Rhodes, 44, Troyd Jat DelCambre, 41, Robert S. Kirkham, 51, Allison Lea Sheffield, 27, Seaborn R. Aycock, 63, and Jeff M. Davis, 29.
Region 2: Corbit A. Best, 53, Gregory L. Green, 35, and Kenneth D. Sanderlin, 62.
Region 3: Grover D. Stewart, 57, Grover Stewart, 79, Landry Wingate, 57, and Obie Wingate, 80.
Region 4: Robert L. Joy, 20, Larkin R. Jackson Jr., 19, and Joseph G. Glass, 66.
Region 6: William T. Toone, 55.
Region 7: Terrell B. Gaines, 34, Christopher L. Pace, 35, Matthew C. Sharp, 41, John P. Doullut, 40, Larry P. Bellard, 58, John G. JeJune, 55, James M. Viger, 56, Kenny M. Lang, 37, Marvin J. Needham, 63, Richard D. Menard, 67, Gregory Allison, 58, Joseph G. Belletto, 57, and Carlos Jones, 63.

Abstract and Keywords
Football and media have become associated to such an extent that it would be difficult to discuss the history of sports in Chile without acknowledging its relationship with the media. Since the early 1900s, the media coverage of football—arguably the most significant mass spectacle in Chile—has become a unique place to evoke political sympathy and national pride. Before the gradual introduction of television in the 1960s, print journalism and radio were the technological tools that defined the ways in which Chileans experienced football. As narrative devices, sports media represented football for much larger audiences than those sitting in the stadium. In the 1940s, football chronicles may have been read aloud, and photographs of famous footballers were usually posted in public places for semiliterate workers too poor to buy sports magazines. Similarly, the pitch of a radio announcer's voice and the quick summations he gave to different plays generated their own visual spectacle and moral evaluations for listeners. Although sports magazines and radio broadcasts were mostly consumed in urban areas, they created new ways of experiencing football that enabled participation from larger parts of the nation.
The importance of these sources lies in their central role of making football a much more understandable sport to mass audiences, many of whom were illiterate. Most importantly, sports media became a public terrain for making claims about Chilean citizenship, including affirmations of appropriate masculinity, racial belonging, and class relations.
Keywords: Chile, football, fútbol, soccer, sports, sports media, sports journalism, print media, sportswriters, sports photography, sports broadcasts, radio, media history

While the e-book market has certainly skyrocketed in recent years, it's still not always easy to get digital books from your local library. Yet unlike physical books, which obviously degrade over time—digital books won't. So publishers have figured out that they need to start selling a license to the book, rather than the book itself, to our venerable institutions of public learning.
Back in 2011, HarperCollins caused quite a stir when it said it would impose an arbitrary limit of 26 rentals before an e-book's license would expire and the library would have to pay for it again.
Now Macmillan, another one of the "Big Six" publishers, announced Thursday its new plan for selling e-books to American public libraries. Macmillan now says its titles will cost $25 (by comparison, some of its same bestselling titles in the Kindle store go for $8 to $12)—and once acquired by a library, each will be available for two years or 52 check-outs, whichever comes first.
The pilot, which will launch later this spring, is set to include "1200 backlist titles from the Minotaur imprint, which handles mysteries and crime fiction," reports LibraryJournal. The industry publication also reports that Random House remains the only one of the Big Six that doesn't impose these expiration dates, but it does charge much higher prices.
Allison Lazarus, president of Macmillan's sales division, told LibraryJournal that this is currently a pilot, and its terms may change.
"We will look at the results throughout the duration of the pilot," she said, "and will make assessments along the way as to whether to expand the title selection and whether to continue the program as launched beyond the two-year term."

WASHINGTON – The constraint is on the government, not citizens when it comes to church-state issues according to the Constitution, stated Dr. Richard Land, who was honored with a national religious liberty award earlier this week at the Canadian embassy.
"I'm always fond of pointing out to people that when you look at our First Amendment to the Constitution, which is in large part there because Baptists insisted that it be there in order for them to vote to ratify the Constitution, all of the restrictions are on the government, not on citizens," said Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, at the 10th annual Religious Liberty Dinner on Thursday.
He continued, "It says Congress shall make no laws establishing a religion nor interfere with the free exercise thereof. It doesn't say that we as people of faith cannot bring our faith conviction into the public square."
The annual Religious Liberty banquet is sponsored by the more than 100-year-old Liberty Magazine, which is dedicated to covering religious freedom issues, the International Religious Liberty Association, the North American Religious Liberty Association, and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The event counts ambassadors, high-level diplomats, and U.S. politicians among its guests.
Past honorees and speakers of the Religious Liberty Dinner include Hillary Clinton, Suzan Johnson Cook, John McCain, John Kerry, Trent Franks, and Barry Black.
This year, Land was honored with the event's national award, while Gerald Chipeur, a well-known civil rights lawyer who frequently appears in the Supreme Court of Canada, received the international award for religious liberty.
Land, who is also the executive editor of The Christian Post, told CP after the dinner that he is honored to receive the award that has been given to such prestigious leaders in the past.
During his brief speech after accepting the award, Land said that religious freedom is not only an American value, but a universal and human value.
"Every human being deserves the right to work out his or her relationship with their creator without coercive interference from any government or ecclesiastical [body]," the 2012 National Religious Liberty awardee stated.
Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird agreed with Land that religious freedom is a universal value. Baird, who was the keynote speaker, said history has proven that religious freedom and democratic freedom are inseparable.
"Societies that protect religious freedom are more likely to protect other freedoms," said Baird, who was elected to be Canada's foreign minister last year. "They are typically more stable and they are typically more economically prosperous. When we have religious freedom, other freedoms follow."
He also reflected on Canada's past of trying to be an "honest broker" and not taking a strong stand on hot-button issues, saying, "I call it being afraid to take a clear position even when that's what's needed. So I am proud to say Canada is no longer a country that goes along to get along in the conduct of our foreign affairs.
"We will stand for what is principled, regardless of whether it is popular, convenient or expedient," he declared. "We do so as part of our commitment to human rights for all."
Part of Baird's campaign promise last year was to establish the Office of Religious Freedom. He briefly spoke about it during the speech, saying that the office will help diplomats around the world support religious freedom. But details about the progress of setting up the office, according to Canadian media, are scant.

Doug McIntyre: Wronging the Wrights an embarrassment to the state
Acting upon the sketchiest of evidence, the state of Connecticut has inexplicably chosen to strip Wilbur and Orville Wright of their rightful title as the fathers of heavier-than-air flight.
By accepting as fact the highly dubious 1901 "flights" of Bridgeport's Gustave Whitehead, the Nutmeg State has debased history, diminished one of the great achievements of the 20th century and muddied the waters historians work so diligently to clear.
As Orville Wright said during a previous effort to rob the brothers of their just due, "The truth cannot withstand a lie aided by continual propaganda."
By signing HB 6671 into law, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has added legitimacy to a lie.
The specious claims made by Australian aviation "historian" John Brown somehow buffaloed the editors of "Jane's: All the World's Aircraft," and that blunder is the foundation of falsehood upon which Connecticut legislators have built this monument to misinformation. Brown's so-called evidence wouldn't pass the smell test for a high school history term paper.
Citing three "eye-witness" accounts published at the time of the alleged Whitehead flights, Brown neglected to mention the story originated with Stanley Yale Beach, the son of the publisher of "Scientific American" and a financial backer of Whitehead. He also failed to note when researchers tried to confirm the Whitehead story in the 1930s, of the three witnesses, one had died, a second could not be located and the third, James Dickie, emphatically denied seeing Whitehead fly and said the story was a hoax.
Gustave Whitehead deserves to be honored as a serious aviation pioneer who invested his time and talents to try and tackle the great dream of mankind, human flight. But to believe Whitehead actually flew 1.5 miles at an altitude of 50 feet on Aug. 14, 1901, 28 months before the Wright's four epochal flights of Dec. 17, 1903, is to explain away why he never flew publicly again.
He never told anyone he flew before the Wrights. In fact, he abandoned his own 1901 designs and turned his attention to gliders and helicopters.
Whitehead made a game try of it, but he is no more the father of flight than other early experimenters, such as Percy Pilcher, Otto Lilienthal, Augustus Herring, Ocatve Chanute, John Montgomery, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Samuel Langely or Alexander Graham Bell.
The tortured tale of Gustave Whitehead comes from another aviation pioneer's attempt to invalidate the Wright Brothers' patents.
Glenn Curtis was a rival aircraft manufacturer and aggressively searched for pre-Wright aircraft he could use to convince aviation-ignorant courts they were capable of flight prior to Kitty Hawk. Eventually he settled on Langley's failed "aerodrome," but Whitehead's story was kept alive by a dedicated Wright-hater, Albert Zahm, part of the Curtis team.
Eventually his story appeared in two books, "The Lost Flights of Gustave Whitehead" (1937) and "Before the Wright Brothers Flew" (1966). Both books were written by Stella Randolph based on material collected by Zahm.
Wilbur and Orville Wright were life-long diarists, prolific letter writers and talented amateur photographers. They left a voluminous paper trail documenting each step they took on the path to unlocking the secrets of flight. In 1953, the Library of Congress published the "Papers of Wilbur & Orville Wright" in two volumes. Anyone who has examined the record has no doubt the Wrights deserve the title as fathers of powered flight.
The state of Connecticut has thrown in with cranks and frauds and contributed to the debasing of actual knowledge in a cheap attempt to secure local bragging rights over Ohio and North Carolina. In doing so, Gov. Malloy and the Legislature have diminished two great American heroes, Wilbur and Orville Wright, and embarrassed the state in the eyes of anyone who has bothered to examine the evidence.
Doug McIntyre is a columnist for the Los Angeles Daily News, television & Film writer/producer, and host of "McIntyre in the Morning" on KABC radio in Los Angeles. He has written about the Wrights for "American History Illustrated."

1248.0 - Australian Standard Classification of Drugs of Concern, 2011
Latest ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 06/07/2011
|Page tools: Print Page Print All
One new group has been created at the broad group level. Six new narrow groups have been included in the Second Edition, and one narrow group previously included in the first edition of the ASCDC has been removed. Four base level categories that existed in the first edition have been moved to different narrow groups. Thirty-two new base level categories have been created, and one base level category has been expanded to include a drug formerly included in a 'not elsewhere classified' category.
These changes are detailed below:
Movement of existing drugs of concern
With the creation of the new broad and narrow groups, several base level categories have been moved from existing narrow groups to these new groups. Specifically, 'Gamma-hydroxybutyrate' has moved from 2201 to 2501, 'Cannabinoids' from 3201 to 7101, 'Cathinone' from 3902 to 3701, and 'Methcathinone' from 3904 to 3702.
New drugs of concern
Due to the increasing incidence of their misuse and abuse and consequent need to individually identify them in statistics, the following base level categories have been included in the Second Edition ASCDC:
Inclusion of Psilocin with Psilocybin
Psilocybin and Psilocin are two closely related tryptamines. The two drugs are most commonly found in hallucinogenic mushrooms, and the two can exist within the same mushroom. Stakeholder feedback has indicated that in most cases, a clinician would be unable to determine if a patient was affected by psilocybin or psilocin. Therefore 'Psilocin' has been moved from 3599 'Tryptamines, nec' and combined with the first edition base level category 3505 'Psilocybin' to form a single base level category of 3505 'Psilocybin or Psilocin'.
Precursor Substances
A number of stakeholders requested that the classification include a grouping for precursor substances. However, while researching the precursor substances, it became clear that this would not be possible as not all precursor substances are drugs, for example safrole (an oil used in making perfume), and some drugs, such as pseudoephedrine, would need to be included in two categories in the classification. This is not possible as all categories in a classification must be mutually exclusive.
A list of precursors can be found in the Code of Practice for Supply Diversion into Illicit Drug Manufacture published by The Plastics and Chemicals Industries Association (PACIA) on the website: http://www.pacia.org.au/Content/drugs.aspx
Comparison between ASCDC 2000 and ASCDC 2011
See the changes (including additions and deletions) in the Type of Drug Classification and Additional Classifications data cube, Table 3 Comparison of the Structure Between 2000 and 2011.
A new broad group and new narrow groups have been added to the main structure of the ASCDC.
New supplementary codes have been created for these groups where appropriate.
The following list of supplementary codes includes the new codes in bold:

Save Our Chiefs optimistic about team's future
Group hopeful to see Scott Pioli depart during front office shakeup
With the Kansas City Chiefs making a coaching change, and changing the structure -- if not the people -- of its upper management, a group that made headlines calling for changes said the team is making progress.
Save Our Chiefs has been calling for head coach Romeo Crennel and General Manager Scott Pioli to lose their jobs ever since the season went south. Crennel was fired on Monday and owner Clark Hunt said Pioli's status was under review. Hunt was clear that he would be leading the search for Crennel's replacement and not Pioli.
"It wasn't 100 percent surprising," said Marty McDonald of Save Our Chiefs about the Crennel firing. "Obviously, we'd love to see Pioli fired and sent on to another organization, and ultimately, we think that will happen."
McDonald's group has flown banners over Arrowhead Stadium calling for the leadership changes. They gained more support from fans as the 2-14 season went on.
"This is really about Chiefs fans in Kansas City. We made our voice loud and we had hundreds of people chipping in for our banners," he said.
Hunt's public statement announcing Crennel's termination also included a personal apology to the team's fan base, along with a commitment to see things improve.
"I thought it was really interesting yesterday with Clark Hunt talking about the fans with a statement with that phrase saying, 'They deserve better,'" McDonald said. "That was in direct reflection to one of the banners we flew."
He said he is hopeful that Hunt's more direct involvement with the team will have a positive impact.
"If Clark's making the decision to roll up his sleeves and get in the weeds and run the franchise, it could be a good thing. I could also turn out terribly bad," he said. "We have an opportunity. We have some talent. We just need better coaching."
McDonald said Save Our Chiefs will support whoever is hired as the new coach. He said he definitely feels that Hunt was aware how frustrated the fans are.

Prosecutors ask for 30 years in Mumbai case
Prosecutors are asking a federal judge to give the maximum 30-year sentence to a Chicago businessman convicted of supporting a terrorist group that staged the deadly 2008 attacks on Mumbai, India.
U.S. prosecutors made the request in a filing Monday evening in the case of Tahawwur Rana (tuh-HOW'-ur RAH'-nah). Rana was convicted in 2011 of aiding terrorism in Denmark and aiding a terrorist group that staged the India attacks that left more than 160 people dead.
Jurors convicted Rana of supporting a never-carried-out plot to attack a Danish newspaper that printed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad and for supporting the Pakistani group. They cleared him of involvement in that group's attack on Mumbai.
Rana is to be sentenced in Chicago on Thursday.

Latest MedicineNet News
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, March 4, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Up to 16 percent of current clinical trials in the United States do not fall under federal regulations that protect the rights and safety of study participants, new government research finds.
Investigators found that of nearly 24,000 active clinical trials, an estimated 5 percent to 16 percent fell into the category of "gap trial." That meant they were not subject to the two federal programs that oversee "human subjects protections" -- such as requirements to ensure patients' informed consent.
Experts said it's not clear what to make of the findings, reported as a research letter in the March 5 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Trials that are not subject to the federal programs may still have patient-safety monitoring in place, said Karen Maschke of the Hastings Center, a research institute that focuses on bioethics.
"It's hard to know what the data mean. We definitely can't say these trials had no oversight," said Maschke, who was not involved in the study but does research on clinical trial ethics.
She said that even when a particular trial does not technically come under the federal programs' oversight, it may be following those rules anyway.
For example, if a university medical center runs multiple trials, it may extend federal ethics oversight to all of those studies -- even when an individual trial would technically be exempt.
The current study could not account for that scenario, and it's "likely" the results overestimate the true number of gap trials out there, said lead researcher Dr. Deborah Zarin, of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Still, Zarin said, many people may think that all human research trials fall under the same regulations. "I think the fact that it's more of a patchwork system may be news to people," she noted.
There are two broad federal policies on protecting clinical trial participants: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's human subjects protections, which cover clinical trials testing an unapproved drug or device; and regulations known as the Common Rule, which apply to any clinical trial funded or conducted by the federal government.
Zarin said it has long been known that many trials end up being subject to both sets of federal regulations, while some others fall into the gap. A trial would technically fall beyond the regulations if it had no federal funding and was testing a treatment other than a drug or medical device -- such as a surgical procedure or a behavioral therapy.
Until fairly recently, though, there had been no good way to know how many trials fall into the gap, Zarin explained.
For the current study, her team used data from the NIH's ClinicalTrials.gov -- a registry of clinical trials taking place around the world. The site has been around since 2000, but initially included mostly NIH-funded trials. Since then, it has expanded, and now allows some estimate of the number of gap and non-gap trials.
Zarin's team found that of 23,936 trials active in the United States as of September 2013, 55 percent to 65 percent were covered by the FDA rules only, while 6 percent to 10 percent were covered by the Common Rule alone. Another 19 percent to 24 percent were subject to both sets of rules.
That left between 5 percent and 16 percent that were covered by neither federal regulation. The estimates ranged depending on the definition the researchers used for an FDA-"covered" trial.
Zarin agreed that the numbers leave a lot of questions unanswered. Trials that fell into the gap in this study could be subject to state regulations, or oversight from the institutions running the study or the trial sponsors.
"This is a first view from 20,000 feet," Zarin said. "We can't see perfectly what's going on, but this gives us a first glimpse."
She and Maschke both said that further research is needed to see what is happening with those gap trials -- including where they're being done, and who is overseeing the ethical standards.
"The good news," Maschke said, "is that most of the trials we would be recruited for -- the studies of new drugs and devices -- do come under these (federal) regulations."

How long does a planning application take?
Planning authorities have tightened their restrictions on basements and require additional information with any basement application. However many people are surprised to learn that planning permission for basements can still be easier than for some other types of project. This is because a basement will have no impact on the appearance of the house above ground, and a basement does not create overlooking or affect a neighbour's amenity directly. In fact, if the basement is just under the house (not the front or rear garden) it can even be Permitted Development. To satisfy the planning department a well written Basement Impact Assessment will need to be submitted as part of the planning application.

Vista council to discuss electronic billboard proposal
VISTA — Two proposed electronic billboards along state Route 78 could generate $300,000 to $400,000 a year for Vista, according to city officials.
City staff will make a presentation on the billboards to the City Council and allow the public to weigh in on the project during Tuesday's council meeting, officials said.
The proposal has been criticized by some residents, including the group South Vista Communities, a group representing neighborhoods in south Vista, calling it "visual pollution" and possibly a safety hazard.
The City Council has discussed the plan at various public meetings over the past two years, city officials said. Kevin Ham, Vista's economic development director, said city staff has also discussed the plan with various groups, including the Vista Chamber of Commerce and the South Vista Communities.
"We have any number of times that council has discussed this and we also did an RFP (request for proposals). The RFP was distributed far and wide," Ham said. "Many people in the public have called us and asked us questions about it."
Ham said city staff would ask Tuesday for direction from the council regarding the plan.
Bill Martin, chairman of the Vista Planning Commission, said he opposes the billboards but added that he is glad the public will get a chance to hear more about them.
"My position is that they (billboards) are a visual blight and I don't support them," Martin said.
Last year, the city issued a request for proposals from private companies to build and operate the billboards and share the revenues from ads with the city.
City officials said in a report to the City Council that the billboards could generate combined as much $400,000 a year, more than a typical new car dealership or hotel. The billboards could be up and running within six months, according to the report.
The billboards would be 14 feet by 48 feet and about 20 to 40 feet high, according to the report. One would be just north of state Route 78, south of University Drive. The other would be north of the highway just east of Santa Clara Drive.
The billboards would announce commercial ads as well as community events and emergency messages, officials said. The brightness of the screens would adjust to ambient light, which means they would emit less light at night.
To avoid the potential for distracting drivers, the images on the billboard would remain on the screen for at least eight seconds, or double the time recommended by the California Department of Transportation.

A member of SAGE-AU [1] found two ATM skimmers [2] and gave me permission to publish his description and analysis of the situation. I've lightly edited this from a mailing list post to a blog format with permission from the author. This Courier-Mail article refers to the skimmers in question [3].
People were wondering what gave the skimmers away so here goes, NB this is only about the 2 I discovered.
- The actual atms in question were the free standing type (but even this doesn't matter in the scheme of things because they can be on those in a bank of the things).
- I'd actually conducted transaction and was waiting for my card to come out of the machine – these things looked that good. The colours matched – especially in the 3/4 or less light that you typically have on the fascia's of such machine. The backing plate grey matched atm fascia as did the green "bubble" where the card goes.
- WHAT REALLY CAUSED SUSPICION – my card was having difficulty coming out of the atm at end of transaction i.e. card coming out extra slow – then only the end couple of mm, I had to physically grab my card with fingertips to get it out and there was barely perceptible movement of skimmer due to my fingers using the green "bubble" as purchase point, THAT was what made me suspect. I then really had close look and found that I could move the "bubble" with its backing plate – I pulled it off the machine and then looked at the atm next to it and found it to look exactly the same. These things are held on by double sided tape.
- Grabbed the cleaning lady wandering past showed her the device and asked her to get security. Security and centre operations manager subsequently showed up, while waiting for them I had to stop people from using either machine (everyone amazed at how good these things looked). Centre ops guy went and checked other machines in the centre, I left my details and they called the cops… I went straight to my credit union and reported what had happened and they cancelled my card and ordered a new one on the spot for me.
- Coincidently (or not) the centre ops and security lady told me that the machines had been serviced (refilled) not too much earlier that day – i.e. I wondered if the bad guys did the "service" or were tracking armaguard servicing types.
Quick side notes:
- 3 more skimmers have been found since then.
- Subsequently, I found out these were the type that needed to be picked up for the bad guys to retrieve the data i.e. these weren't the type that transmitted to some-one sitting near by via Bluetooth/wireless i.e. in this instance I need not have cancelled my card and gotten a new one from my credit union.
HOWEVER, it is best practice if you discover one and you've used that machine to immediately have your financial institution cancel your card and issue you a new one – though getting the new one can take up to a week.
- As I understand it, These 2 devices (i.e. others could be different) have 2 usb ports one for the reader and the other to a pinhole camera (commercially available type removed from it's original housing). The magnetic stripe data is held on the audio track associated with the video and there was an 8GB storage card to hold it all i.e. it makes things easier for the bad guys to match PINs to card details.
- If you do find a skimmer DO NOT touch the insides (non public facing parts) of it – this is where the cops can really try lift dna and prints from; gathering prints from externally is far more fraught as everyone and their dog has probably touched the exterior of the skimmer.
- In the lead up to Xmas these things or similar are highly likely to become more prevalent as we all go about parting with dosh while gift shopping – SO BE AWARE AND CAREFUL.

Although isolated mountains are not unusual, mountains commonly form ranges, comprising either a single complex ridge or a series of related ridges. A group of ranges closely related in form, origin, and alignment is a mountain system; an elongated group of systems is a chain; and a complex of ranges, systems, and chains continental in extent is called a cordillera, zone, or belt.

I'm pretty tall and I find that to purchase a brand-name sleeping pad means shelling out serious $$$. To solve this I have always just purchased a roll of foam padding that I could cut to make sure it would a couple of inches longer than me. The thing is, I rarely backpack in harsh conditions.
So for someone considering moving into harsher conditions, but needing to balance performance for $, what are the definable differences between expensive sleeping pads and foam pads?

Yesterday's results
With the regular season heading into its final weekend, BTS participants are looking to finish up on a winning note by logging the longest streak possible.
Nearly every member of the Top 10 picked Ichiro Suzuki, a smart move considering his knack for making contact and legging out hits. Sure enough, Ichiro came through with a 2-for-4 day to keep his fans alive in the standings.
Co-leaders da_wid and flipperjoints hit the 30-game mark thanks to Ichiro, while golgota33 and janejohn rode the Seattle speedster up to 25 games and a share of fourth place. Third-place contestant rwildi took the bold step of selecting a different player, but Jimmy Rollins's 1-for-4 effort helped him stay in the running, at 27 games.
mark-henry also avoided Ichiro, but his selection of Dustin Pedroia didn't work out so well. The normally free-swinging Pedroia collected two walks but no hits in five plate appearances, ending mark-henry's run at 26 games.
Yesterday's Top 5 most selected players
1. Ichiro Suzuki (SEA): 13.9%, 2-for-4
2. Joe Mauer (MIN): 6.2%, 2-for-4
3. Kevin Youkilis (BOS): 5.7%, 1-for-3
4. Albert Pujols (STL): 5.3%, 0-for-3
5. Vladimir Guerrero (LAA): 5.2%, 1-for-2

Friday 10/2
Staying with a game that still has meaning for my pick today. Denard Span of Twins is hot – going with him.
Good Luck to all today…….
I am quite confused as to how the leaderboard for the September edition operates.
The column showing "today's pick" has FIVE people on the front page not making a pick today, including the one remaining person with a chance to win?
We do have one winner though so far, so the move was not a complete bust and its implementation is probably what allowed us to get postseason beat the streak.
By the way, are all the regulars on here also playing Postseason Beat the Streak?
The threads have been very quiet recently and I am wondering if that means that the rest of the regulars have decided to shut it down for the year???
Saturday 10/3….
I'm staying away from the Twins game as KC is pitching Grienke. I'm going with LAA Torii Hunter for today.
Troy Tulowzicki of Roxs is hot.
champion_88 – I'm going to be playing BTS for the post season. It will open, probably, as soon as the teams are set. Both leagues are still up in the air as Dodgers v. Rockies and Tigers v. Twins are still not settled. Will the LCS start on Tuesday?
good luck to all today…….
CONGRATULATIONS! – Looks like one player, flipperjoints, won the Sept BTS 30 Game streak challenge. The total prize give away is a ******** $100. The King is like that Uncle you may remember as a kid. He drove a nice car and had a gold watch but stiffed you at your birthday party each year. The King's prize closet is really a vault with a time lock tumbler that is set to open once a year. Congrats to flipperjoints on beating the King out of $100 in tickets to a 2010 opening game. I hope you live in KC or Washington DC so you can get a decent ticket.
Will the King's the censor/jester will bleep the word
wh#@$%^g again?
Looks like I'm in the penalty box again for using the word:
Well the first round is the LDS not LCS. And surprisingly I saw it does not start until Wednesday this year, as the scoreboard has no games listed there, but has 3 games listed for Wednesday, so we know the reason cannot be because we do not know the exact matchups yet.
I went with Scott Podsednik of the White Sox today.
I just meant that the comment threads have been quiet with most of the regulars not here posting who they have and why, which is why I asked if these regulars are going to be playing Postseason Beat the Streak?
champion_88 – Now I'm understanding why some big time pitchers are pitching so late into the weekend (eg: CC Sabathia). I expected LDS to begin on Tuesday.
There will be plenty of time for us to work on our picks for
Wednesdays games. If you would like to join us (vinny, hammanm, me and stikid) put your email address on a post and I'll add you to our group that is putting our heads together over the winter to beat the King in 2010.
Sunday 10/4………..
Going with Victor Martinez RSOX. He has been very consistent for the past month.
The King has Tuesday set up for a playoff game Tigers v. Twins if needed.
Yo fellas. I'm still around and I'm playing all the postseason games. I have to win something this year and maybe I can get the opening day tix for next year. I didn't post since my highest streak all year was 11 so it wasn't a great year for me at all.
Not sure if this is too much trouble, but I was wondering if people would like to post what their overall record is for the year, both in terms of # of hits VS # of AB's and # of successful days VS # of total days?
I will post mine by tomorrow.
My best all year came to 14… had a number of 8-10's but some one who SHOULD of got a hit went offer… I have enjoyed reading the comments on this blog and did change my way of making picks late in the season… I ended the season on a low note however and took Mauer today…. Enjoy the post season and hope my Red Sox make it to the end… I will be playing in the post season…. Best of Luck to ALL
What/where is this postseason beat the streak?
Are you talking about the postseason bracket challenge?
The Tuesday tiebreaker game counts as part of the regular season dan, so you can try to finish the season on a high note!
As an example of what I asked everyone for, here are my overall 2009 statistics through the end of today:
176/679, .259 batting average
117-53, 9 did not play days, .688 success rate (.654 success rate if you count did not play days as part of total days.)
Preliminary 2010 Goals:
-at least 190 hits
-at least 700 AB
-at least a .270 batting average
-at least 130 success days
-no more than 5 did not play days
Also, I think it would be prudent to use the next 2 rest days to start analyzing the hitters that are hot for each of the 9 remaining teams for the postseason and maybe also analyzing which starters/relievers are getting hit particularly hard by which groups of hitters?
I have a feeling there may be a wrinkle to the postseason contest limiting the number of times you can pick an individual hitter, to prevent lots of players from running a perfect record throughout and then having tons of tiebreakers.
champion_88 thanks for posting your yearly stats – very complete.
Mine are not so complete but here goes:
178 days with player in the game
140 days with a hit
36 days with no hit
2 days with player not in the game.
78.6% success rate
I had 215 hits and even won a bts trophy for having a batting average of +.300 for June.
You can check out your trophies in the "Results" drop down menu. Click on the trophy icon and you get to your trophy page. Gives you a good idea of your results in all games you played.
Does not seem to by any restriction on how many times you can take the same player for post season BTS.
I just want to clarify the logic behind some of my preliminary 2010 goals.
First off, assume I go 2 for 4 tomorrow. That brings my final line to 178/683, .261 batting average.
If I get to my goal of 700 AB next year, which is likely if I reach my other goal of getting 4 fewer did not play days (17 extra AB / 4 = only 4.25 AB's per game,) then just staying on pace with my .261 batting average, would cause me to pick up 4-5 more hits, which already brings me to 182-183.
Prorating a .270 batting average over 700 AB's gives me 189 hits, which is close to my goal of 190.
I was actually originally writing this post to show why I was bumping my expected hits total to 200, thinking that the extra AB would cause there to be very little difference in an improvement, but I now see that to get 200 hits, I would have to bat .286 for the season and a 25-point increase in batting average is probably unlikely.
Although I suppose it is still possible if I am doing well towards the end of the year. Part of the problem was how I sort of gave up towards the end of the year. I never considered not picking, as I always feel you need to play out the string, but my results really slumped towards the end, hitting a paltry .205 in September, which was coming off a .318 August.

Thinking about the winter blues
Special to the Sun
TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. and#8212; The angles and tones of light are different. There are ribbons of crispness in the air. The landscape is dry and colors are draining. I see it. I feel it. It is autumn.
Many traditions and cultures mark this season as a time of reaping, quiet, reflection, contemplation, and rest. Like other species, our bodies change as well, going through a seasonal shift in our sleep patterns, appetite and energy. There is evidence we experience a decrease in optimism and risk-taking, a shift that has been tracked in stock market data.
While a general quieting is common, for some this change can become distressing, especially if one has a tendency toward negativity and obsessive thought patterns. The result can be the unhappy mood and lethargy known as the and#8220;winter blues.and#8221; For others, the blues may actually meet criteria for a variant of clinical depression known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD.
SAD symptoms must occur at least two years in a row. Typically, SAD starts in the fall and continues through the winter lifting in the spring and summer.
Symptoms include: Sadness most days; hopelessness; anxiety; depressed energy and interest; feeling heavy and and#8220;leadened;and#8221; social withdrawal; difficulty concentrating; oversleeping; appetite changes especially craving carbohydrates; and weight gain.
SAD varies by latitude with rates varying from 0.4-2.6 percent in the general population and climbing toward 10 percent at higher latitudes. Milder and#8220;winter bluesand#8221; have been estimated as high as 25 percent of the population in extreme latitudes. Research also indicates there can be a seasonal worsening of symptoms for adults and children with other diagnoses including depression, bipolar diagnoses, substance abuse problems and dementia.
The causes of SAD are not completely understood. Since rates are quite low in Iceland, despite the high latitude, there is the possibility of a genetic component. Another theory is based on the winter drop in serotonin levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that affects mood and appetite regulation. Deficient serotonin is implicated in depression. Others claim the changes in natural light disrupt the balance of melatonin, a hormone that affects sleep and mood. It might be that the reduction in light disrupts the internal clock, your circadian rhythms, affecting sleep and wake cycles. Chronic disrupted sleep is known to adversely affect mood.
SAD treatment depends on severity. If symptoms are not significant consider exercising regularly, getting outside in the natural light, exposing yourself to bright lights indoors, socializing, and practicing stress management. However, if symptoms are causing significant distress and dysfunction in your life, or if you are turning to alcohol or drugs to regularly manage your moods, it is time to see a doctor. First you want to eliminate any other causes for mood and energy changes. Then your medical professional will help determined if you meet the criteria for SAD. Treatments at this time are quite standardized.
Light therapy and#8212; This is considered the first line of treatment. It provides mood relief for 50-80 percent of sufferers. The great benefit of this therapy is that it starts working in two-four days and has few side effects. The disadvantage is the inconvenience. Light therapy requires a specialized light and daily sessions of 30 minutes or more. This must be continued throughout the winter as rapid relapse occurs if you stop treatment.
Medications and#8212; Given the link with deficient serotonin, the next most common treatment is the class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These medications lead to the same remission rates as light therapy. The advantage is the convenience of taking a medication once a day. The disadvantage is that it may take four-six weeks to realize benefits and there may side effects. Nevertheless, this is a very common and generally safe treatment. By beginning them before the seasonal onset of symptoms, these medications can be used as a preventative.
Alternative medications and therapies and#8212; There are herbal remedies and supplements that are commonly used for depression. A naturopathic doctor can help with these types of treatments. While not a conclusive list, these could include St. Johnand#8217;s Wort, SAMe, melatonin (appropriately timed) and other supplements. Acupuncture may also be helpful in the treatment of SAD.
Counseling therapy and#8212; While many counseling therapies may work, the scientific research is focused on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for the treatment of SAD. CBT helps people understand how their minds create thoughts that can undermine them and create negative mood patterns. Individuals learn to monitor thoughts, reframe them, and take responsibility for choosing their behaviors. Across many SAD studies, CBT has the same remission rates as light therapy and antidepressants. In addition, one study that reevaluated participants a year later found that relapse rates were 7 percent of those who received only CBT, 37 percent of those who received only light therapy, and 5.5 percent of those who received both CBT and light therapy. That is, CBT appears to have lasting effects. The disadvantage is that it does require an initial investment in therapy and a commitment to using the techniques to change thought patterns.

Wisconsin Politicians Follow Developments in Pot-Legalizing States
Change could be spreading ...
Central Wisconsin political observers say the vote to legalize marijuana in two states could eventually affect Wisconsin.
Lawmakers will be watching to see what happens in Colorado and Washington, where residents voted to lift long-standing bans on recreational marijuana use, said state Rep. Scott Krug, R-Rome, who represents Wisconsin's 72nd Assembly District, and changes in this state might be possible.
Krug, who previously served as the Wood County Drug Court administrator, said Wisconsin should put more of a focus on drug addiction treatment than the current legal system does.
"We spend too much time punishing people by putting them behind bars and throwing away the keys," Krug said.

Scherzer gives up four runs, takes first loss of 2013
Right-hander fans six over six innings, but offense comes up short
DETROIT -- Lucky No. 13 turned out to be quite the opposite for Max Scherzer, who took his first loss of the season in the Rangers' 7-1 win over the Tigers on Saturday night at Comerica Park in front of a sold-out crowd.
Scherzer (13-1) allowed a season-high eight hits, four earned runs and two walks in six innings while striking out six. He's struck out at least six batters in all 19 of his starts this season.
"I ran into a good team," Scherzer said. "They swung the bat well. I threw some good pitches, they hit it. I made some bad pitches, they hit it even further. That's what happens when you're not quite 100 percent on your game."
Scherzer had a scare in the second inning, when Jurickson Profar drilled a comebacker to the mound. Although Scherzer was about to move his pitching hand out of the way, the ball hit him in the left wrist before he was able to corral it and get the out at first.
"It got me right on the wrist, right on the bone," he said. "I was still able to pitch, and pitch effectively. I hit my spots, but it changed how my mechanics worked. But at the same time, I was still able to execute pitches, I thought, and they were able still to get the barrel to the ball."
X-rays came back negative.
Although Scherzer was able to fight the pain to throw a 1-2-3 third inning, he faced some trouble in the fourth. After Nelson Cruz scored following a leadoff double, Elvis Andrus drew a two-out, seven-pitch walk.
"I had a 3-2 slider, and he was able to foul it off, and I thought if I was able to come with it again, I'd be able to induce some weak contact," Scherzer said. "It just got away from me. Any time you have a two-out walk, with his speed, you have to be quick to the plate, because you know he's probably going to steal in that situation."
With Andrus on first, Mitch Moreland drilled the next pitch to the right-field seats for his 13th home run of the season to give the Rangers a three-run lead.
"That part of the game, I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit," Moreland said. "I had the walk before me, and I got a first-pitch fastball middle away. I just put a good swing on it."
In the fifth, Leonys Martin walked, stole second and scored on an A.J. Pierzynski blooper that landed on the left-field line for an RBI double.
Scherzer only walked two batters, but both came around to score.
"Scherzer is a really good pitcher," Moreland said. "It's always tough against him. We just wanted to create some opportunities, get guys on base and take advantage of it. We were able to do that."
Meanwhile, Derek Holland shut down the Tigers, allowing just one run on five hits in seven innings. He also struck out seven, all on his slider.
"His slider was really working today; it came up real hard," Torii Hunter said. "You couldn't tell if it was a fastball or slider, the same delivery. He beat us today. He pitched well. You have to give credit where credit is due."
Scherzer's loss was his first since Sept. 23, 2012; he went 19 starts without a losing decision.
"I mean, obviously, it's a nice streak," Scherzer said. "Hopefully, it just shows well and I can pitch consistently. I believe in my talents, and I believe going forward I'm going to put together other streaks as well."
The four runs were the most Scherzer allowed in a start since May 15, and at the same time, his usual supply of run support disappeared.
"He probably wasn't as dominant, but he still gave us a chance to win and kept us close," Hunter said. "We just weren't able to get any run support for him. Tonight we failed him."

Car ploughs into pedestrian on Townsville nightclub strip
UPDATE: Police have spoken with a male driver who allegedly hit a pedestrian in Townsville's late-night precinct on Tuesday.
Witnesses said the driver had appeared "out of control" before his vehicle mounted the kerb and ploughed into a man standing on Flinders St about 11:30pm.
Initial information suggested the driver allegedly left the scene, however a police spokesman confirmed officers had spoken to the driver a short time after the incident.
The spokesman said witnesses reported seeing the pedestrian go over the bonnet of the car when he was hit.
The 27-year-old pedestrian was taken to Townsville Hospital fully alert and conscious with rib and back pain.
Shortly after the incident ambulance officers were called to return to the scene after a man, believed to be in his 40s, was suffering from shock as a result of witnessing the crash.
EARLIER: An out-of-control vehicle has ploughed into a pedestrian in the late-night precinct of Flinders St tonight.
The Bulletin understands the Toyota was driven by a man with a female passenger.
The vehicle mounted the kerb near the Cactus Saloon, hit someone and the driver allegedly kept going.
The vehicle came to a stop outside the Mad Cow.
The dark grey Toyota was described as "out-of-control".
A Queensland Police Service spokesman said the crash took place about 11.30pm.
He said police understood the vehicle hit a man who was on the side of the street.
"He's the only person being looked at by the Queensland Ambulance Service," the spokesman said.
"It looks he went over the bonnet of the car."
The Forensic Crash Unit was at the scene.
A crime scene was declared at the scene and the Cactus Saloon was closed.
Motorists and pedestrians were advised to avoid the area if possible.
