The season finale of Discovery Channel's reality show "Yukon Men" will air tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern. The show follows families in Tanana, Alaska, a small town located along the Yukon River, as they hunt, trap, fish and perform other duties to survive in the harsh environment of central Alaska. One of the main characters is Stan Zuray, a Boston native who moved to the area more than 40 years ago.
Trapper & Predator Caller was able to catch up with Zuray Friday before the "Yukon Men" finale to talk about the show and what it means to him and the tight-knit community he lives in. Zuray touched on everything from the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the show both inside and outside of Tanana and the way trapping is portrayed in the nationally televised program to how producers handled a tragedy and the future of "Yukon Men"
You were born and raised in Boston, right?
Yes, right in the inner city there in a section called Dorchester.
OK, can you talk about how you decided to make the move from there all the way up to Alaska? That's a pretty big change.
Yeah, I think the move to Alaska would probably have to be looked at as sort of a gradual thing. I remember moving out of the city and moving to kind of a farm-type thing in New Hampshire. Then I went to the West Coast, all around California, southern, northern, and up into Oregon, and then across the border into Canada. Then I went into the northwoods of Canada. That's probably the first time I really did something like I'm doing here. Way up in northern British Columbia and around a lot of people who hunted and trapped and all that stuff. That was the first time I was really around a lot of that stuff.
After a year and a half in Canada, I decided to go to Alaska because it was my country, instead of Canada, and I ended up in this area north of Tanana here where I'm living right now.
So, as you made your way West over the years, is that when you got into hunting, fishing and trapping, or was that always a part of your life?
No, actually I had never hunted before in my life, certainly never trapped, coming from a Boston neighborhood. Yeah, there was maybe an opportunity or two to go hunting. I remember one time going with some people that went hunting in New Hampshire. Even to this day, it's not something that I feel I do as a sport or something. I mean I might drive dogs for the hell of it or something like that, but hunting isn't something that I really do for the enjoyment. It's more something I just do to get through, you know?
When you made the transition up to Alaska, were you on your own then?
I was. Yeah, I was traveling by myself. I was pretty much a loner and stuff like that. I didn't have anybody to go with for almost all the travels up to New Hampshire and the West Coast and then up to northern British Columbia. The only time I wasn't alone is when I came up to Alaska, I was with a partner at that time.
And with the type of lifestyle that you have up there, it's hard even now that you know what you're doing. What were those first few years like as you were figuring out how to survive in that type of an environment?
Yeah, the first few years, there were a lot of mistakes or just inefficiencies. I look back at them and they weren't like really bad mistakes, but they were the difference between getting a moose and not getting a moose in the fall or something like that. And being able to put up fish for the dogs and not being able to put up that many, you know, that's what it was. It wasn't like I didn't know the concept or something like that. I really wasn't efficient at it and, of course, up here when you're living like this, it can cause big differences in the amount of food you end up with and stuff like that.
So, there were some rough years in the beginning, particularly the first year. I burned up everything I owned in a little tent because of a spark. And I ended up basically eating up the majority of my dogs and puppies come fall time because I couldn't get enough food for them and us. Yeah, there were some pretty crazy, crazy times there.
You know, like maybe in a city, there isn't much of a difference between a successful insurance salesman and an unsuccessful one. It's just little inefficiencies. And that's the way it is up here. You're totally dependent on the food you get, and if you're a dummy, you're up a creek.
Did the locals help you in your early years to learn some of the successful ways to hunt and trap and survive there?
Yes and no. I lived quite a ways from the town back in those days. I lived 40 miles out of town. Basically, in the summer, I never saw the town once, and in the winter, you know, you'd come in once a month, and maybe in the spring, once every two weeks or something.
Like, I knew people dried fish for dogs on racks. In the beginning, I remember I built an incredible, beautiful, laborious smokehouse to dry fish. I thought you dried it in a smokehouse, you know? But you don't. You dry them in an open rack. You dry people food in a smokehouse. There are all of these stupid little things that I did even for a couple of years before somebody said, "No, no, no. You don't do that." People helped. I mean, I can think of a number of things — people gave me dogs, people gave me food, sleds. I remember my first real dog sled was given to me by a fella. There were three dogs with it and that made my team of six dogs because I had three dogs myself.
People helped me and were willing to. Certainly the knowledge was here. It's just, sometimes, you don't know the right questions to ask. And when you do think of a question, you're 40 miles away from the nearest people.
One thing that's pretty clear from watching the show is it seems like Tanana is a pretty tight-knit community. It seems like everyone pretty much relies on one another and is pretty close. Did the town embrace you right away as an East Coast guy with no roots there, or did you have to earn their trust and friendship?
Yeah, I would say there were people who were willing to help me right away in the beginning, but there is a tight-knit, closed aspect to the town too where, you know, they watch you and see who you are and stuff like that. And, yeah, I can recall both happening. But I think living out where we were, it wasn't like we showed up on an airplane and wanted to be a part of the town. I came in from the backcountry, and that surprised a lot of people. People would say, "Where or you coming from? Fairbanks?" And I'd say, "No, I'm coming from the Tozitna River, 40 miles back." And so I think that helped a lot. People respected that stuff.
How has the show gone over in the community? Do you think people enjoy the publicity or that they feel that it shows the town in a good light?
You know, maybe it's like this in every community, but if you can get like 60 percent of the people for a certain thing, like if you can votes in the town on whether the town wants to put a road in here or whatever … sometimes if you can get even 60 to 40 percent or something like that, you consider yourself good. But this, I am really totally amazed that the vast majority of people in town are behind the show.
I think the production company that came in here, we're really lucky from what I understand because not every company is like this. But the guy is a generally good guy I think, and he's been working with the people. They go a long way to try to be really culturally sensitive while they're here. And the other thing too is they don't just come in for a three-week time or a month-and-a-half time and then leave and get all of their episodes in a short period of time and tell everybody what to do. Now, they've been living with us for almost a year. They don't leave. They just live with us. That's the way it goes. So, people are getting to know them as people that live here. They just work with us and follow us and they're not hindering us. One of the guys who works with me has been to Everest, to the top of Everest twice. And another guy has been to some of the worst seas you've ever seen on the Bering Sea and stuff like that, a world-renowned photographer out there. So, these guys, when they go with us, we're all taking care of each other when we're out there. It's like we're all in it together. We're all just making sure everybody is OK and all that. It's not like we have to take care of these guys, like they slow us down. It's pretty cool being around them, just being around people that are world-class camera outdoorsmen. So, it's pretty cool.
And the town, I can literally, on one hand, think of the people in town here that don't like the show. And they didn't like the show before the show even started. They didn't like the idea of it and they're just bull-headed people. The majority of the people in town really like it. There are kids running around in town right now that say, "Hey, you be Charlie (Wright), and I'll be Courtney (Agnes), and you can be Stan." And they play "Yukon Men" and stuff like that. You know, it's pretty cool.
I think it's actually made kids in town look at their own culture as being valuable. You can see that amongst the young kids. I run this teen center in town. Every Saturday night, I open up this old log cabin. There's some computers in there, and there's a big TV in there. Usually the kids just want to play these music videos all night long — people in sunglasses doing gang signs. You know, I just let them do whatever they want. I don't try to make them watch trapping videos. They do what they want, and what they want is to watch music videos. Well, the other night, I said, "Well, I got some episodes of 'Yukon Men' here and I put them on the computer. If you guys want to watch that or watch the music videos, do whatever you want." It was the first night of the season. I only run it during the wintertime. And they said, "Let's watch 'Yukon Men.'" The next thing I know, you've got 15, 20 kids watching "Yukon Men." And when the episode was over, they wanted to watch another "Yukon Men." So for three quarters of the whole evening, they watched the episodes of "Yukon Men." I just sat there and watched them and said, "You know, this is something, wanting to watch somebody of their own culture do traditional things instead of wanting to watch somebody from L.A. with sunglasses on be cool and strut around on stage." I thought that was really cool.
Yeah, that's a unique perspective from inside Tanana. Did you have reservations at all before you decided to be a part of the show, when they first contacted you?
Yeah, definitely. I thought it could be offensive to people, depending on how they did the show. A lot of reality shows, they purposely try to make people look stupid. And then some of them are just, in order to get good stuff on TV, you have to put up with so much unrealness. I was worried about that. I didn't worry about it too much, but I had all of those things on my mind.
I must say the drama thing, that gets a little heavy. More so, I worry about it for other people than myself, like how other people would react to it. The drama stuff, everybody just kind of looks at it and we look at each other and smile. I mean, something like "You could die if you do this or that." We all smile at each other, and then we realize, "Yeah, you could die." But you could die in the city too, driving down the highway. You know, it's OK because the stuff they're showing is real. All of the animals and the trapping, that's what we do anyway. They came in in the middle of winter. We were in the middle of doing that. And everybody seems to enjoy seeing that.
There is obviously some real drama in the show too. During the filming, one of your town members (George Roberts) went missing and was found dead after a search-and-rescue operation. It must have been really difficult having the cameras there for all of that, especially as family members and friends were morning the loss. Can you talk a little bit about that situation and how it unfolded?
Any time you have an emergency in the town, like somebody is missing or something like that, most missing persons or whatever, they're found. I remember the morning that our friend was missing, it was like, "Oh, OK, well, we'll look around. We'll just stop what we're doing and we'll get this nailed down. And then when he's found, we'll go back to business." Anytime this happens, you just go into a mode of figuring it out. But there was no feeling like there was going to be a problem.
The film crews had talked with us about search and rescues and stuff, and they said, "Well, if you ever go on a search and rescue, we'd really love to go with you." And like everything else, we just try to let them know what we're doing, and so they were involved in filming it — us going around town, talking to other people, looking for where the guy might be.
At some point, it became obvious that we had a really bad problem and that he probably was gone. A little while after that, it became more serious. At that point, the film crew just backed out themselves. They just said, "Well, this is way too heavy of a deal. This is getting personal. The family is really worried now." They backed out. They stopped filming. Up until then, that's how they got all the film stuff of the before, just because they were filming, and everybody figured it was going to be this drama thing and then he'd be found.
The film crew knows everybody in town. When it was realized that he was found and it was a terrible thing, at that point, the family asked that the film crew record it. If nothing else, it would be a warning to the young kids in town and up and down the Yukon too. This is a tight community, but the whole river is like a community. Families in one village are related to families in another. And so, the parents wanted it to be filmed. It was announced that they would be filming during the preparation of the meat, at the potlatches, at the burial site. If you didn't want to talk to them, that was fine, but they were not to be harassed or anything like that. There wasn't any problem like that anyway, but they were told that this was a family request. And the film crews started filming again.
It was a pretty powerful thing. The film crew worked with the family a lot in keeping it very culturally sensitive and all that sort of stuff. Because obviously people from the outside don't know how things are here.
Another topic that doesn't get portrayed on television very often is trapping, especially in the detail that you get into at times on the show. And many trappers kind of worry about bad publicity for trapping on TV. Did you have any concerns about that going into the show? And how do you think the producers have handled that aspect?
Well, I did, but I've had a bit of experience. I'm really involved in a lot of fish issues, fisheries issues, because of all the fishing we do. And my experience with that is that if you try to hide your lifestyle and not rock the boat … I have friends who say, "Just let it go. Don't go arguing with people over regulations that get made. Just try to live your life and don't get into all that." And it just seems like we just get bit in the ass over and over again when we stick our head in the sand like that.
There are times when somebody will say, "It's terrible, and they need to stop those people" and stuff like that. But on the other side, you need to stand up for what you do. There's nothing wrong with it. It's ethical. For God's sakes, it's renewable. It's all sorts of things. There's nothing wrong with it. My attitude is you just need to let people see it. If it's graphic, maybe people don't want to watch it. I mean, I don't like to watch an animal in a trap. But it's what I do. I don't enjoy that aspect of trapping, but people need to see it for what it is. It's no different than anything anybody else does in their lives every day in the city. They impact nature in ways that are often kind of crude. We do it by letting somebody else do it for the food we eat or by living in big houses and burning lots of fuel oil. This is no different. We're just taking care of business ourselves. I think we need to show it and try to explain it and let people judge it on the open market, instead of trying to hide it. That's just kind of the way I am.
The film crew, they have their limits of course on what they'll show. They could be more graphic. They have their limits. Of course, it seems to many that there are no limits, but there's only so much they'll show too. But basically, they just show the way we do it. I know a fair amount of people have problems with some of our methods. You know, some of it is kind of ridiculous like, "I use a 7-foot pole when I strangle lynx, not a 10-foot pole." I mean, some of it is really ridiculous. But some of it is like, "You should shoot it instead of stunning it," little differences like that. But the film crew, they don't get into that. They just film what we do. They don't tell us they want this or they want that. They just follow us and they just film us. We say, "We do it this way," and that's how they film it. Sometimes you screw up and, well, it ends up on TV. And I don't know about it until the night it airs. That's just the way TV is. The people who are on it, like me, we don't even know what scenes are going to be on it. We're not even told that, let alone how it's portrayed. We don't even know if it's going to be on there.
You talked a little bit before about the reaction from inside the community. Have you heard much feedback from the outside yet on the show, positive or negative?
Yeah, and that's another thing. On the feedback from outside, it's sort of like the stuff from inside the village. I'm absolutely, totally surprised by the comments that we get from the common people in urban America, even from people who are slightly anti-hunting or anti-trapping, people that would never do that themselves and don't like watching it. (I'm surprised) at the level that those people have tried to understand the show. They will at least say things like, "I guess if these people are using it for food, I can accept it" or something like that. And a lot of people just love it. You know, you're always going to find people that are ready to get a gun and remove you from the planet. But, yeah, I'm really surprised …
I think it's just the fact that we eat the meat. You know, the last bear I killed, I fed the hide to the dogs to warm them and I kept all of the meat off the grizzly bear. A lot of people would think, "Oh, I thought grizzly bear was inedible." And here I'm feeding the hide to the dogs to warm them and making sausage out of the meat. People kind of respect that, you know? So, it's making them see it in a different light.
A large part of the show also deals with sort of the coming of age of your boy, Joey (Zuray), and Charlie's boy, Robert (Wright), and the relationship that those young men have with their fathers. It has to be interesting to see that dynamic between you and Joey unfold on TV.
Yeah, we smile back and forth at each other on that stuff. You know, they'll catch him at some moments telling me off or something like that and me getting a little irritated at him. It's pretty funny. You know, it's there. It's true. I think I have a really good relationship with him considering the fact that he's 22 years old. When I was that age, I could barely talk to my father. We have our moments, but it's really something on TV. We get a kick out of it.
And I think the season finale is tonight, right?
Yeah. Then we'll have to see depending on ratings and all that stuff, they'll see how it goes for another one, which, I don't know, we're doing pretty good on ratings so a lot of us are hoping it still goes here.
And you said earlier that they're still in the community filming?
Yeah. There's been a number of times where the production company doesn't know what's going to happen and they just keep filming. That's what they're doing right now. They're here filming. Ten days from now, Nov. 1, they'll be with guys heading out trapping. Right now, they're filming us getting our dogs ready and everything and training them and getting wood. Like I say, whatever they do, they're out there filming.
And you're looking forward to a second season if it happens?
I am. Yeah, I am. I know one real common thing that I get a lot of times is, "You're used to being free and traveling out there with your dogs and stuff, how can you stand a bunch of people hanging around you and having you do all this stuff and slowing you down?" And, boy, for one thing, there's a lot of time I'll be by myself and I'll be with one other person, just my son or one of my friends, and there will be a single camera with us. At most, there will be two cameras. And they're both, like I say, world-class outdoorsmen. They have no trouble keeping up with us or staying ahead of us or whatever. It's not like that. If I'm up at my fish camp, there will be one guy there. Once in a while, if they have something special, if you're doing a major thing, putting in a fish wheel or something like that, there will be a couple. It's just not like that. They don't slow us down. Once in a while, you have to stop and explain to the camera what you're doing, and then you're back to work.
For 40 years, I ran the trapline all by myself and, once in a while, you get together with a friend and you go on a hunt or you go on a trail-breaking trip somewhere, you know, you do something with somebody and it's like, "Wow, this is really fun doing it with a friend." You know how trapping is. It's kind of solitary. The way I look at it is, "Heck, I did it for 40 years all by myself. This is kind of fun being with some guys. All these guys have skinned elk, hunted this or that. I mean, these guys aren't a bunch of city people with cameras that we've got to take care of. Some of them probably know how to skin a moose cleaner than I do.
We also publish Deer & Deer Hunting here in this office. On your travels across the country as you headed west and north, were you a deer hunter at all?
No. The first time I was around any hunting at all was when I was in northern Canada and I lived around the Indians in northern B.C. That's where I started learning about how to hunt. I watched people skin. I watched people make snowshoes. I watched people live in cabins with moose ribs hanging on all of the walls instead of pictures. That's where I learned the whole hunting thing in northern Canada, which was just before I came here. Those guys shot so many moose and stuff. Even in northern Canada, I never shot a large animal. I never shot a moose or a bear or anything until I came to Alaska and was living out in the backwoods. I got dropped off in the backwoods on a ski-plane on a little river and waved goodbye to it. Soon after that, I shot my first moose and shot my first bear and all that stuff. No, not a hunter at all then.
Is there anything else you'd like to add? Any insights for fans of the show or things to watch for as the season wraps up here?
Well, you know, it seems like what's been working really well with the show is just as much realism as we can make. And people seem to want to learn about the town, not just a couple of guys that run around in the woods. Everybody is just working toward the things that seem to be working. We're just talking about that all of the time, and trying to keep the show as real as we can and still make good TV.

Doesn't the show start on the 17th? I went to the ToyFair web page and it has it as from the 17th to the 20th. Which is Sunday.
So if I gathered all this correctly:1. They're $7.99/each2. They're kinda animated looking3. They have action featuresUm....what about this did Hasbro think we might be interested in?Looks like I'm gonna save a whole lot of cash this year.
I think most of the action features will turn out to be in the accessories. Didn't we get a spy report that a lot of the figures were super-articulated to some degree?

Further evaluation of the tank is necessary to get an accurate accounting of foam damage and determine the type of repair required and the time needed for that work. The hail caused approximately 1,000 to 2,000 divots in the giant tank's foam insulation and minor surface damage to about 26 heat shield tiles on the orbiter's left wing. A new target launch date has not been determined, but teams will focus on preparing Atlantis for liftoff in late April. Mission STS-117 to the International Space Station will be scheduled sometime after a Russian Soyuz spacecraft returns from the station. The Soyuz is delivering new station crew members and returning others to Earth in late April. Adequate time is needed between the Soyuz undocking and the shuttle's arrival to the station. During the 11-day mission, the six-member crew will install a new truss segment, retract a set of solar arrays and unfold a new set on the starboard side of the station. Lessons learned from two previous missions will provide the astronauts with new techniques and tools to perform their duties. Atlantis Commander Rick Sturckow, Pilot Lee Archambault and Mission Specialists Jim Reilly, Patrick Forrester, Steven Swanson and John "Danny" Olivas will continue training at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston as they await a new target launch date. The STS-117 flight crew will return to Kennedy Space Center a few days before launch. *STS-117 Mission* + The Crew <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts117/index.html> + The Mission <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts117/mission_overview.html> + The Integrated Truss Structure <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/structure/elements/its.html> ---- Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Apple has released the source code for WebKit in iOS 4.3, which it had been withholding for eight weeks. However, according yo Jay 'saurik' Freeman, they are still not, and never have been, in compliance with the LGPL. "Apple's provided source code (which /is/ heavily modified for the iPhone) [...] isn't even complete enough to compile (it is missing a bunch of code for the WAK* classes), so Apple has simply never been in compliance with this license," Saurik writes. So, it would seem that Apple is still violating the LGPL, and has been doing so for a very long time. Funny how this never makes it to mainstream technology sites. I guess they find their pre-release review devices more important.

RE: court?
Good idea. Those leeches at Apple should really get it stuck to them. After profiting from the KHTML codebase, the least they could have done is given back code to the community. I mean, WebKit isn't nearly enough payback for the original KHTML code. Turning KHTML into a usable, modern, fast, standards-compliant browser that Google and others could base off of, isn't nearly enough. Evil Apple.

A Lexington man who has been the center of an N.C. Department of the Secretary of State investigation was placed into custody Tuesday in regard to alleged security fraud violations in which he defrauded people across the country in an Internet scheme.
A Lexington man who has been the center of an N.C. Department of the Secretary of State investigation was placed into custody Tuesday in regard to alleged security fraud violations in which he defrauded people across the country in an Internet scheme.
Lexington Police, on behalf of the secretary of state's office, arrested 48-year-old Rondell Scott Hedrick of 11 Forest Drive for 10 counts of security fraud violations, five counts of obtaining property by false pretense, four counts of security registration violation, five counts of security dealer registration violation and two counts of violating a cease and desist order. He was given a $150,000 secured bond and a court date in Lexington District Court of Nov. 12.
The N.C. Department of the Secretary of State's Office alleges Hedrick used Craigslist to entice Internet users to invest in either real estate or gold investments. Instead, according to court documents, the victims saw no money when they invested.
The focus of the investigation is Hedrick Consulting Inc., which formed after Hedrick registered it with the N.C. Secretary of State's Office on July 27, 1999, according to court documents. The last annual report filed with the corporations division of the secretary's office was Jan. 31, 2006, at which time the business nature of the company was listed as consulting, Special Agent David Rose of the N.C. Secretary of State's Office indicated in an affidavit for a search warrant.
Rose explained further in the court document that Hedrick Consulting Inc. dissolved in July 2011, as was the case for other entities that Hedrick had registered as the agent with the secretary's office. Rose determined Hedrick in November 2012 was not registered to sell securities the State of North Carolina.
The N.C. Department of Secretary of State's Securities Division in October 2012 received a referral from the N.C. Department of Justice regarding a complaint it received from a California resident regarding an investment with Hedrick Consulting. The man claimed he invested $5,000 with Hedrick, who solicited the investment via Craigslist, according to the affidavit. Hedrick was in North Carolina at the time of the offer and sale of the investment, and the victim did not receive any of the promised returns of the investment, the court document stated.
Statements from the victim assisted with Rose obtaining a search warrant for Hedrick's bank records through November 2012. Through the investigation, additional investors were identified who invested with Hedrick after November 2012.
Rose listed another victim who lived in Hawthorne, N.J., in court documents and interviewed the person July 25. This victim, according to the affidavit, heard about the investment opportunity being offered by Hedrick through a friend. The friend told the man Hedrick was offering two types of investment, one through a long-term investment in real estate and another opportunity that was a short-term investment involving the purchase of gold. The victim also was told the rate of return would be double the principal on both investment opportunities, according to the affidavit.
The victim contacted Hedrick in December 2012, at which time Hedrick did not disclose he was not registered to sell securities in North Carolina, according to court documents. Hedrick also didn't disclose that the securities division had served him in November 2012 with a temporary cease and desist order from selling unregistered securities and for not being registered as a salesman in the state.
The victim told Rose had he known this information, he would not have invested with Hedrick. His first transaction occurred Dec. 14, 2012, when he wired $9,000 to Hedrick's bank account for what he believed was a long-term real estate investment. He did not sign nor receive any documents at the time of the transaction.
A few months later, the victim decided to invest $3,000 in the gold investment opportunity May 14 of this year. The man once again did not sign or receive any documents at the time of the transaction. The victim has not received his promised returns from Hedrick on either investment, according to court documents, which listed other victims solicited by Hedrick for money through Craigslist. The court documents state one victim demanded money on several occasions with no results.
Rose's search of Hedrick's bank account revealed he spent the investment funds on dining out, massages and other personal expenses as well as cash withdrawals. There was no evidence in the bank records that Hedrick went to Dubai or anywhere else to purchase gold, Rose wrote in his findings.
The alleged offenses occurred between June 4 of last year and Jan. 17 of this year, according to arrest warrants.
In an interview with Rose, Hedrick told him he resided with his mother and stepfather and considered himself to be a gold buyer. Hedrick also explained to Rose he conducted his gold-buying business on his computer from the Forest Drive residence. A filing with the secretary's office listed 11 Forest Drive as Hedrick's principal office and Hedrick as the company's president.
Hedrick also claimed to the victims he purchased gold bars in the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, according to court documents. Arrest warrants listed at least five victims, each from the states of Washington, California, New Mexico, New Jersey and Minnesota.
A victim who wished to remain anonymous said Wednesday he invested $1,000 in what he called a gold scam. He said he saw an ad on Craigslist, where it was advertised a big return for an investment. The victim says he had telephone conversations with Hedrick, who was encouraging him to invest $2,500.
The victim, who explained he never saw a return in his investment, said it was his understanding that Hedrick defrauded one victim for $20,000. He said the Craigslist ad promoting Hedrick's scheme indicated if a investor invested $5,000, he would receive $15,000 in a short amount of time. The victim said he also decided to invest because Hedrick had a very nice website.
"There is a price to pay for everything we do," the victim, who is a carpenter by trade, said. "He is going to have to pay a big price for his selfishness."
Hedrick did not have an attorney as of late Wednesday morning, according to court records. A spokeswoman with the N.C. Department of the Secretary of State's Office was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.

New England's fishing regulators on Wednesday approved steep cuts in Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank cod catch limits that fishermen say will trigger the collapse of the industry.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — New England's fishing regulators on Wednesday approved steep cuts in Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank cod catch limits that fishermen say will trigger the collapse of the industry.
The mood was grim at the New England Fishery Management Council meeting, prior to the vote on sharp reductions in groundfish quotas that could cripple — and will almost certainly hurt — the industry.
The 18-member panel spent more than three hours in the morning reviewing the fish population assessments that are driving the council to drastic action. It spent another two hours in the afternoon hearing testimony from the public — sometimes angry, sometimes stormy.
The final vote slashed the available catch of Gulf of Maine cod by 77 percent to 1,506 metric tons in fishing year 2013. This will have the effect of reducing some fishing boats to one day at sea, or even one hour.
The Georges Bank cod catch was cut by 61 percent, to 2,506 metric tons. Many fishermen this year are not catching their quota, but these cuts are deeper than any shortfall they are experiencing.
The low limit reduces the catch on a storied New England species to just a fraction of what it once was, and it also prevents fishermen from landing more plentiful species, such as haddock and pollock. That's because fishermen can't pull up the healthier groundfish without catching too much of the cod that swim among them.
Some members, including John Quinn of Dartmouth, implored National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists to get serious about coming up with ways of measuring the effects of freshwater influxes into the ocean, ocean warming and the rise of predators such as seals and dogfish.
NOAA Regional Administrator John K. Bullard made a lengthy statement in which he argued that neither the law nor biology gives the council any "wiggle room" to back away from strict limits.
He said it is entirely possible that a complete end to fishing might no longer be enough to keep certain stocks, cod in particular, from collapsing permanently.
"We have been slowly, seemingly inexorably, sliding to oblivion," Bullard said. "We have to change course, otherwise impacts are going to be upon us anyway. I do not deny the costs that are going to be paid by fishing families and fishing communities. I do not deny the costs. They are real. They will hurt."
He predicted that the industry would adapt and survive in some form until groundfish recover, perhaps by learning how to better catch healthy stocks.
But he said he had no idea what the remnant would look like.
Fishermen say the catch is down this year because of natural cycles or as a result of poorly designed regulation that keeps fishermen away from healthy species.
They've also consistently disputed the accuracy of fish science.
Cape Cod's representative on the council, Tom Dempsey, said that Cape fishermen are very concerned about their inability to even catch their quotas of Georges Bank cod.
Council member Laura Ramsden of New Bedford said cutting quotas "does not help fish stocks, but it is easy to do, so we do it."

'Best of West' LongHorn manager right here in Warwick
Lynn Traupman, managing partner of the LongHorn Steakhouse at 400 Bald Hill Road, has been honored for a job well done.
The hard-working Cranston resident received the company's top leadership distinction, the Best of the West award, at an annual awards banquet and manager's conference last month in Dallas, Texas. She was presented a trophy along with a Bohlin watch. A LongHorn veteran of 12 years, she is one of four managing partners selected for the distinction from more than 430 LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants in North America.
"I was so excited and shocked," she said. She was nominated by Director of Operations Stephen Scott
The award recognizes managing partners who consistently demonstrate leadership by achieving top financial results, developing managers and team members and ensuring that guests always enjoy LongHorn's food and service.
According to a press release, Traupman's recognition is a result of her dedication to excellence and commitment to the "LongHorn way." She has a passion for talent development and takes pride in helping team members grow into management roles. In her time with the company, she has trained more than 20 team members, 10 of which are in management roles.
"Lynn embodies our core values and greatly contributes to LongHorn's culture," Executive Vice President of Operations for LongHorn Steakhouse Rick Cardenas said in the release. "She puts a tremendous amount of effort into her work and is tireless when it comes to ensuring our guests have a memorable LongHorn experience. For all of these reasons, Lynn is extremely deserving of LongHorn's Best of the West award."
Traupman enjoys being part of the staff. Her co-workers are rare finds, she said, as they portray teamwork every day not only for the benefit of one another but also for their customers.
"They are passionate about serving our guests, and it makes me very proud to be part of that team," Traupman said.
She attributes the award to her employees, along with her supportive management and leadership team. The LongHorn culture, she said, is what sets them apart from other establishments. Together, they follow LongHorn's core values. The restaurant, a division of Darden Restaurants, Inc., the world's largest full-service restaurant operating company, prides itself on hiring "great" people and setting clear expectations for employees. Managers provide regular feedback and celebrate stellar performances, as they believe in continuous improvement and getting better day by day and shift by shift.
They also treat each other, along with clientele, with dignity, respect, honesty and integrity. This year, Darden was named to the Fortune "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for the third year in a row and is the only full-service restaurant company to ever appear on the list.
"We are good business citizens," said Traupman, who has worked for Darden for more than 21 years and has been at the Bald Hill Road location since 2001. "We follow the law and positively contribute to our community. I'm thankful for the great management team and wonderful team members that make my location successful."
Justin Kelly, one of LongHorn's line cooks, praised Traupman. Of all the restaurants he's worked for, he said, she is by far the best boss he's had.
"I've been there for a while now and working for Lynn has been great," said Kelly. "She definitely deserves the award."
Aside from enjoying her job, Traupman also enjoys the food. Two of her favorite items on the menu include the Outlaw Rib Eye, an 18-once steak on the bone, and the white cheddar and bacon stuffed filet. The signature side dish is Steakhouse macaroni and cheese.
"And I always tells people to save room for our chocolate stampede," she said of a cake that's baked with seven different chocolates. "It's big enough to share with two or three – or four – people."
Her children, Ashley, 26, and Joseph, 21, often dine at the restaurant. While Ashley loves the steak tips grilled with onions and mushrooms, Joseph prefers juicy burgers.
"My family is so proud of me," Traupman said. "They know I'm very passionate about what I do and they are very supportive."
She is also grateful for the support of the local community.
"Without their support, I wouldn't be receiving the honor in the first place," Traupman said.
LongHorn is committed to making a difference in the lives of others in the local community, as restaurants participate in the Darden Harvest program, which has donated more than 60 million pounds of food to food banks across the country.
When she's not at work, Traupman can typically be found in her kitchen. But she never snags recipes from LongHorn, as Italian food is frequently on her menu.
"It sounds kind of cliché, but my passion at home is cooking," she said. "I love entertaining guests at my house."

Congratulations Lynn! Knowing you as I do, I am not at all surprised you would receive accolades such as this. I wish you further success and all the best. David M.

Dec. 16, 2011
BOSTON — Sy Montgomery has never met an animal she didn't like. The New Hampshire author and naturalist has gone swimming with pink dolphins and piranhas, stood toe-to-toe with orangutans and raised a portly, 750-pound pig on her farm named Christopher Hogwood.
Now Montgomery is turning her attention to creatures with no bones and more legs: giant Pacific octopuses. Montgomery first befriended Athena, a giant Pacific octopus, when she visited the New England Aquarium in March. Their rapport was immediate.
"She came over from the other side of the tank to look at me. I could see her eye swivel in its socket and look in my face," Montgomery said on "The Callie Crossley Show" on Dec. 15. Athena then reached out her arm to touch Montgomery's.
"She was definitely having some kind of interaction. It was a someone, not a something," Montgomery said.
Roger Hanlon, a senior scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., has studied octopuses for 40 years. He says octopuses are startlingly intelligent.
"[Octopuses] are certainly smarter than the cat that we have at home," Hanlon said. "When you really watch these animals, they have so many decisions to make … it takes a big brain to organize all those quick decisions that are happening within milliseconds."
One quick decision that Hanlon famously caught on tape is the octopus's ability to immediately camouflage itself from predators. Studying this mechanism could yield some very useful applications.
"We work with engineers… trying to develop new classes of materials that will use pigments and reflectors based on the octopus skin to better manipulate light," Hanlon said. The idea is to make your cell phone more efficient "so you don't have to be so reliant on battery power."
As for how to learn more from these creatures, Sy Montgomery suggests making friends — and you'll know immediately if they want to be friends.
Says Montgomery, "An octopus is one big mood ring."

Nashua murder trial delayed until AugustBy Kimberly Houghton
Union Leader Correspondent
March 22. 2013 3:43PM
NASHUA -- The upcoming trial for Matthew Packer, the man accused of killing a local EMT in 2011, has been postponed until this summer, according to court documents.
Packer, 20, was scheduled to face trial on a first degree murder charge and two alternative counts of second degree murder this May. However, court records indicate that Packer will now be tried on Aug. 20, allegedly for killing Paul Frontiero III during a fight Oct. 9, 2011 on Spruce Street.
Last month, Judge Diane Nicolosi granted a motion by Packer's defense attorneys seeking to interview one of Packer's former cellmates. The trial was postponed to allow more time for deposition of the potential witness, says court records.
Meanwhile, prosecutors Michael Lewis and Jeffery Strelzin have withdrawn their names as counsel for the state. Instead, Peter Hinckley and Benjamin Agati of the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office will represent the state as prosecutors during the trial, which has been scheduled to last up to three weeks at Hillsborough County Superior Court South in Nashua.
Since Packer's arrest, prosecutors have filed nearly 2,000 sealed pages of discovery following depositions with multiple individuals, including one of Packer's former cellmates, according to court documents.
Representatives from the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office interviewed Robert Ryan, who bunked with Packer during the summer of 2012 at the Hillsborough County House of Corrections.
Now, Packer's defense team will depose Ryan as well, questioning his motive for sharing information with police, says court documents.
Packer previously told authorities that he took out a six-inch pocket knife, but only after being punched in the ear by strangers in the fall of 2011. During a former probable cause hearing, the lead detective in the murder case told a judge that Frontiero died after allegedly being stabbed by Packer 16 times, including one puncture to the heart.
Other vital organs, including Frontiero's lung, left kidney, diaphragm and spleen were damaged from the knife wounds, according to Det. Daniel Mederos.
The defense plans to introduce evidence that Packer was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder at the time of the attack, and has filed a notice of defense claiming Packer was legally insane during the stabbing, according to court records.
Frontiero was reportedly trying to protect two females when the stabbing took place. Jill Arnold and Kathryn Libby, both of Nashua, were injured in the attack, as Packer also is accused of assaulting them. He has been indicted on related charges of first degree assault, second degree assault and attempted murder.
Frontiero worked for EasCare Ambulance Service out of Dorchester, Mass., and was training to become a paramedic He planned to leave for the Dominican Republic for his second medical mission trip just days after his murder.

Ian Clark's On Hockey: Bruins' Hamilton acts like a veteranBy IAN CLARK
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 09. 2013 9:53PM
Boston Bruins rookie defenseman Dougie Hamilton is just 19 years old, yet there doesn't seem to be any hesitation from coach Claude Julien to throw him on the ice in any circumstance.
It's a far cry from how Tyler Seguin was handled two seasons ago when he himself was a 19-year-old rookie. Heck, it's a far cry from how Seguin is still handled now in his third season of NHL hockey.
The difference comes down to poise and maturity. Simply put, Hamilton does not look like a 19-year-old kid learning the NHL game at arguably its toughest position. There are no kid gloves needed with this kid.
"We've got a guy in Hamilton who has been pretty calm through everything," Bruins head coach Claud Julien said.
Seguin was eased into the lineup as a rookie, sitting out for several games early in that 2010-11 before going on to play in 74 games (with 11 goals and 11 assists). He was also held off the power play unit for most of the year.
Not so with Hamilton, who has seen plenty of ice time on the power play and was moved to the top unit (replacing Zdeno Chara) in practice on Friday.
It goes back to the poise and maturity and how that translates to success on the ice for Hamilton. He makes good decisions in his own end of the ice, which is his priority. But he also weaves that into offensive success with smart and accurate clearing passes that send the Bruins the other way.
And in the offensive zone, Hamilton has shown he can be a set-up man (four assists so far) and crank hard, rebound-making shots on the net. He will also join the rush, making good decisions on when to join the play or hang back.
And Hamilton's size (6-foot-4) means he can throw the body and once he puts some more weight on (he's a bit lean at 200 pounds) he will become that much more of a force along the boards.
It hasn't hurt Hamilton's development that Boston has a deep and experienced corps of defensemen to mentor him.
"He's coming into this league and I think we have some pretty good people who are in that dressing room every day," Julien said. "We know what kind of guys Zdeno (Chara) and Dennis Seidenberg, (Andrew Ference) and others are. I think Zdeno said it best when he said 'he's not a rookie, he's just a new player in our locker room.' We don't necessarily look at those players as rookies and treat them like rookies, we believe in treating everybody fairly. By doing that, those young players respect the older players for doing that and they do what they have to do."
Everything Hamilton has shown thus far indicates that he will be a difference-maker and a stud in the NHL for a long time.
Which brings us to Seguin, who always appears ready to break out into stardom yet has not quite made it happen yet. He scored 29 goals and 37 assists in his second season, racking up a solid 67 points.
Those numbers would be a career season for many veterans. But Seguin, the second overall pick in the 2010 draft, has loftier expectations placed upon his shoulders. Consistency seems to be the toughest nut to crack with Seguin, who got off to a slow start this season and has just two goals thus far, one of them an empty-netter.
Seguin has also been criticized for a lack of toughness in the dirty areas. Motivation always seems to be needed from the coaching staff.
"It's starting to come. I think he's skating a lot better. I think when he's more assertive he's a better player," Julien said. "By skating more and doing the right thing like forechecking, he's turning pucks over and getting on players a little quicker. He's being a little more assertive and I think things are going his way now."
On Wednesday, Julien got a spark from Seguin by moving him to the top line with David Krecji and Milan Lucic, dropping Nathan Horton down. The combo scored a good transition goal, moving out of their own end and driving the net hard. They did it again soon after and a 1-0 hole at Montreal became a 2-1 win.
But is it a permanent fix or something to get Seguin going?
"We don't want to overlook that that line with (Lucic, Krecji and Horton) was our best line. (Wednesday) it's not that they were bad, they just weren't generating much and neither was the other line so we made that kind of a switch," Julien said. "Do I try it a little longer or go back to our regular lines? If something happens, we can always switch back."

Mesoplodon carlhubbsi
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Mesoplodon carlhubbsi Moore, 1963
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|In the past, there was some suggestion that this species may simply be a subspecies of M. bowdoini (and some previous records were erroneously attributed to that species), but recent genetic studies confirm its specific distinctness (Dalebout et al. 1998, 2004).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Data Deficient ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Taylor, B.L., Baird, R., Barlow, J., Dawson, S.M., Ford, J., Mead, J.G., Notarbartolo di Sciara, G., Wade, P. & Pitman, R.L.
|Hammond, P.S. & Perrin, W.F. (Cetacean Red List Authority)
Global trend or abundance data for this species are unavailable. As a relatively uncommon species it is potentially vulnerable to low-level threats and a 30% global reduction over three generations cannot be ruled out (criterion A).
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Apparently limited to the North Pacific Ocean, Hubbs' beaked whale is known from central British Columbia to southern California in the east, and from Japan (including the Sea of Japan) in the west (Mead 1989; MacLeod et al. 2006). Although the vast majority of records are of strandings, sightings have been made off the coast of Oregon and Washington (Mead et al. 1982, Heyning 1984). This is an oceanic species, and the range is thought to be continuous across the North Pacific, although this is not confirmed (MacLeod et al. 2006).

|Habitat and Ecology:
|Very little is known about the biology of this species (Mead et al. 1982, Heyning 1984; Mead 1989; Pitman 2002), as only a few reliable sightings at sea have been made. Aside from their distribution in the North Pacific, the specific habitat preferences of Hubbs' beaked whales are not known with any certainty. However, like other members of the genus, the species is found in deep oceanic waters (Pitman 2002).
Hubbs' beaked whales feed on squid (including the genera Gonatus, Onychoteuthis, Octopoteuthis, Histioteuthis, and Mastigoteuthis) and some deepwater fishes (Mead et al. 1982).
|Use and Trade:
|Whale meat products from this species occasionally appear on the Japanese market.
|Major Threat(s):
Hubbs' beaked whale has occasionally been taken by Japanese whalers in several small cetacean fisheries. Whale meat products from this species are occasionally found for sale on the Japanese market (Dalebout et al. 2001). Incidental catches in drift gillnets occur sporadically off the coast of California.
This species, like other beaked whales, is likely to be vulnerable to loud anthropogenic sounds, such as those generated by navy sonar and seismic exploration (Cox et al. 2006).
Evidence from stranded individuals of several similar species indicates that they have swallowed discarded plastic items, which may eventually lead to death (e.g. Scott et al. 2001); this species may also be at risk.
Predicted impacts of global climate change on the marine environment may affect this species of whale, although the nature of impacts is unclear (Learmonth et al. 2006).
|Conservation Actions:
|The species is listed in Appendix II of CITES. Research is needed to determine the impacts of potential threatening processes on this species.

Now that the smoke has cleared, Attack of the Fanboy takes a look at the good, and the bad of Crysis 2.
Its a good game but its a carbon copy of Call of Duty and Halo with buggy A.I. That Producer overhype this game so much that he even talk trash about other games. And I still think Halo is a better game. At least Halo took full advantage of vehicles unlike this game. Crysis 2 vehicle is too stiff and unrealistic. when you throw a bomb at the vehicle it does not blow up everything into pieces like the ones in all the Halo trilogy. This Producer talk as if this game was the savior to FPS!!! Well I was just disappointed that its not a great game, but just a good game. Online has some issues too when people quit or join. sooner or later this game will be overshadow by Brink, Resistance 3, Morden Warfare 3, and Battlefield 3. Don't expect this game to get Game of the year, even close to Uncharted 3.
Personally, I could care less about hype, I read some reviews, watched some videos and it looked like a game I would like to play.
regardless, the game is fun with an ok story and a nice, long campaign.
It's funny people call it a copy of COD because I cannot stand COD and I am thoroughly enjoying Crysis 2.
Its ordinary,generic,a rip off and the graphics aint half as good as we were led to believe so after the smoke as cleared all i can see is a tramp shuffling away into the distance mumbling incoherent words to himself.
hmmmmm, this is proof that reviews are a waste of time and why gaming journalism is rubbish.
Journalists shouldnt be caught in the hype. they should give an honest review. not be caught in the hype, review a game, give it perfect scores like it deserves it and then 2 months later review the game again honestly and now tell us the bad points and that the game shouldnt receive the perfect score it was previously given it instead deserves only to be a 7/8.
Worth a playthrough, not worth 60$ imo. It could have used another 6 months in development. I liked seeing that they patched the absolute putrid Ai bugs.... next step, PATCH THE DAMN WEAPONS THAT DONT SHOOT. How do you make a FPS when some weapons occasionaly bug!? That was a first for me in any FPS.

Stephan El Shaarawy believes that AC Milan were unlucky to lose Wednesday's Coppa Italia quarter-final away against Juventus as he feels they put in a good performance.
The young attacker gifted the Rossoneri an early lead, but Sebastian Giovinco levelled the scoring shortly after, before Mirko Vucinic netted in extra time to make it 2-1.
"I'm happy with my goal and our performance. We played a good game and created a lot of chances. Their second goal came from a bit of unlucky deflection for us," El Shaarawy was quoted as saying on the Milan website.
"It's a disappointing loss. We held our own well and defended well. We didn't concede any really big chances, but they did well technically especially when Vucinic came on and then scored.
"Now we have to get back to work on Sunday, which is a fundamental game for the league to stay in the race for the top spots in the table."
Milan resume match action away from home against Sampdoria at the weekend.

LHAS Gala - 8/28/10
Black tie-attired guests, to the tune of 428, filled the Westin Convention Center Pittsburgh for the 2010 Ladies Hospital Aid Society Gala, themed "The Best is Yet to Come." Master of ceremony James Roddey started the evening off, and after cocktails and dinner, Gary Racan and the studio-e band had attendees dancing into the night. Gala chairs Ruby Kang and Mary Ellen Wampler, along with honorary chair Dr. Thomas Detre, helped make the evening the best so far — $100,000 was raised for research on aging and longevity at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. "The support of the community at large was tremendous due to the cause. Research on aging and longevity is near and dear to everyone's heart in this day and age. Everyone wants the fountain of youth," says Dee Dee Troutman, executive director of LHAS. Photography by Megan Wylie RuffingRead More

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
After reading that some posters had issues with the old style heel slings, I had the dealer leave them off when setting up my new Rover. Big mistake. I received the new style heel slings (although the website still showed the old ones) and I believe that any issues the old ones may have had are gone.
I used just the standard pedals for the first week. They work, but once I added the new style heel slings I seem to have gained pedaling power. For most of the stroke I feel the pressure on the ball of the foot. Once I pass fully extended, the heel sling continues to pull the pedal at least half way around.
Wish I had known this from the start. As a new trike rider, and having been off bikes for over 20 years, these slings help get back in proper form.
I feel TerraTrike got it right with this product.
I use power straps. I just make sure the straps are not flattened against the pedals when I'm slipping my foot into them. I think clipping in would be better, but I don't want to invest in special shoes when the straps will do as good a job.
I apoligize for the odd angles, the trike is loaded into the truck. Here are the slings I wrote about, not sure what the power grips are like.
I just drop my heel into the sling and it sort of locks the shoe in place. I can still wiggle it side to side for comfort if needed.
Please tell me you can see pictures. I'm not seeing them. If you can, go to the Terra Trike FB page and I just posted them there.....

Mark II series of Tascam portable CD Trainers now include improved effects, metronome and more
The new Mark II Guitar, Bass and Vocal Trainers are the latest introductions in the portable CD trainer line – a product category literally invented by Tascam. Like the CD-GT1 and the follow-ups CD-BT1 and CD-VT1, the Mark II trainers have the ability to slow down the speed of a CD without changing the pitch, or to alter speed and pitch of playback at the same time. This allows musicians to learn fast licks, rhythm parts and solos from their favorite artists. The three models also have new effects for even better reverb and amp simulation. A new metronome helps musicians practice even when a CD isn\'t playing.
The new Guitar Canceller effect with selectable cancelling point on the Guitar Trainer enables players to virtually mute the guitar part so that they can play along. The Bass and Vocal Trainers include an advanced cancellation option for better elimination of the original bass or vocal track. And finally, all of the CD Trainers have a new split monitor function which offers the possibility to route the original CD to one side and an instrument to the other side of the stereo output.

YORK, Pa. – The York College women's soccer team picked up a huge Capital Athletic Conference win Tuesday, 3-1 over Marymount (Va.) University at Graham Field. The Spartans improve to 5-8-1 overall and 5-2 in conference action while the Saints fall to 4-7 and 2-4 in the CAC.
The Green and White came out firing in the first half of play, recording 13 shots and sending one them to paydirt. Spartan senior Erin Mummert tallied her first goal of the season when she knocked in a rebound in the game's 30th minute. After a shot from teammate Lacey Phillips deflected off the hands of Marymount goalkeeper Gabriella Prellezo, the senior forward alertly finished off the Spartans first goal of the gorgeous October afternoon.
York continued their dominance in the second half when junior forward Lauren Ward knocked in another deflected shot in the match's 49th minute. Senior forward Ali Jones took a shot that Prellezo was unable to hang onto as Ward promptly hammered home the Green and White's second to go up 2-0.
Later, in the 86th minute, the Spartans would find the back of the net for a third time. A well-placed corner kick from Lauren Fowler skimmed off the head of a Marymount defender. Megan Arthur knocks in the loose ball out of mid-air for her first goal of the season.
Marymount spoiled York's bid for a clean sheet in the 88th minute, but it would prove too little too late for the Saints. Stephanie Flood connected with Paige Pierson who finished into the left side of the Spartan goal for their team's only goal. Pierson, Marymount's top goal scorer, recorded her 13th goal of the season on the play.
Sarah Spanarkel picks up the win as she registered three saves and no goals allowed in her 73 minutes of play. Sophomore Katie Meehan relieved Spanarkel and played the final 16:55 for the Green and White. Prellezo takes the loss as she amassed a total of 12 saves but, also relinquished three goals along the way.
The Spartans outshot the Saints 25-5 and dominated the corner kicks with a margin of 9-3.
The Green and White return to action on Thursday, October 14 as the women travel to non-conference neighbor Gettysburg. Game time is slated for 7:00 pm.

Randomized Study Comparing Adjuvant Radiotherapy (RT) with Concomitant Chemotherapy (CT) Versus Sequential Treatment After Conservative Surgery for Patients with Stages I and II Breast Carcinoma
Ultima Vez Modificado: 9 de octubre de 2002
Presenter: Gilles. Calais
Presenter's Affiliation: Department of Oncology Radiotherapy, CHU, Tours, France
Type of Session: Scientific
- Both whole breast irradiation and chemotherapy are often indicated after conservative surgery for early stage breast cancer. However, the sequencing of CT and RT after conservative surgery in this group is controversial. Studies have suggested an advantage to give CT followed by RT rather than RT followed by CT because of the high risk of systemic metastases. On the other hand, an increased risk of local recurrence has been observed when radiation is delayed. Several phase II studies have indicated that concomitant administration of the two treatments is feasible using selected drugs that may not have cumulative toxic effects with RT. This study compares (multicenter phase III trial) the efficacy of sequential treatment with CT first followed by RT (arm A) versus CT administered concurrently with RT (arm B) in patients with early stage breast cancer who have undergone conservative surgery with axillary dissection.
- Between February 1996 and April 2000, 706 patients were entered from 28 centers and then stratified according to the axillary status.
- The CT regimen consisted of Mitoxantrone (12 mg/m2), 5FU (500 mg/m2) and Cyclophosphamide (500 mg/2) for 6 cycles of 21 days in both arms. Mitoxantrone was chosen because is the only member of the anthracycline family that does not produces free radicals and therefore has less chances of increasing the toxicity of RT.
- RT delivered 50 Gy in 5 weeks to the whole breast followed by a 10 to 20 Gy boost to the tumor bed with electrons or brachytherapy. The subclavicular area was irradiated when axillary dissection was positive.
- The RT In arm B was delivered concurrently with the first 3 cycles of CT. In arm A, radiation was started 3 to 5 weeks after the 6th cycle of CT.
- Forty four percent of patients were node negative. The 2 arms were equally balanced regarding to age, stage, performance status, histology, hormonal receptors, tumor margins, in situ component and axillary status.
- Mean time to initiate RT was 170 days in arm A and 39 days in arm B (p < 0.0001).
- RT compliance was similar in the 2 arms regarding to total dose, treatment duration and treatment interruption. Treatment interruptions occurred in 18% of patients of each arm.
- Compliance to CT was comparable. The mean relative dose intensity of CT in arm A was 95% and 92% in arm B.
- Grade >1 esophagitis rate was significantly higher in arm B (23% versus 7%) but only a few patients experienced severe esophagitis. Haematologic toxicity (neutrophil count and hemoglobin level) was higher in arm B. Incidence of other acute toxic effects including skin toxicity were similar in the 2 arms.
- The median follow-up of the study is 40 months.
- Two patients developed acute leukemia (one in each arm).
- The local-regional recurrence and disease-free survival rates were respectively 4.3% versus 3.5% and 82% versus 83% in arm A versus B.
- No differences were observed regarding overall survival or the incidence of distant metastases or second primary tumor.
- For node-positive patients the incidence of local recurrence was 7.6% in arm A and 3.8% in arm B (p=0.054).
- The early results suggest that the concomitant administration of CT and RT using selected drugs is slightly difficult because of moderate enhancement of acute toxiciy.
- An advantage of this technique is an overall reduction on treatment time.
- Longer follow-up is needed to determine the impact of this strategy on local control and or survival.
- Although longer follow-up is needed to make conclusions about the role of this strategy on future BCT practices, similar approaches attempting to decrease the overall treatment time and minimizing the delay of consolidative local therapy at the expense of systemic therapy are theoretically appealing and deserve further investigation.

Fast-growing high-tech firm doubles its Manchester Millyard space
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader

MANCHESTER - A rapidly growing tech company is doubling down on space in the Manchester Millyard.
Dyn, which started out as Dynamic Network Services 13 years ago, this week launches a building project that will increase the space it occupies at 150 Dow St. from 30,000 to 60,000 square feet, in a project costing about $1 million, according to Paul Mailhot, vice president of business operations.
The company intends to refurbish the first floor of the building it currently occupies, creating a two-level, integrated work environment on the first and second floors.
"One of our key priorities is to really connect the spaces vertically," Mailhot said. "We really don't want employees to feel we have two separate floors. We want the spaces to feel like one space that happens to have two levels."
The expansion, scheduled for completion before the summer, is designed to accommodate Dyn's explosive growth. In the past year, the company has seen an infusion of venture capital, has made several high-level hires and created a new board of directors. Employment is expected to grow to 300 in Manchester by the end of 2013, Mailhot said.
"We're in tight quarters right now," he said, "with 200 people in a space built for 160 to 170."
The company is in tough competition for high-level technical talent, and has received a lot of press for the amenities in its Manchester world headquarters, which include arcade games, a rock climbing wall, a deck overlooking the Merrimack River and a private restaurant.
Employees and their guests can eat breakfast or lunch at the Dyn Cafe, across the street from the main offices, where an executive chef and two staff members on the Dyn payroll prepare a menu built around organic, New Hampshire-grown food whenever possible, at the first certified farm-to-table private dining facility in the state.
The new space will provide room for more workers and more amenities. Most of the renovation will take place on the interior, but a small cinderblock room that protrudes from the side of the building will be knocked down to create room for a solarium that will lead to new cafeteria space. Work on the exterior will also include repairs to windows and masonry, and replacing some windows with doors.
When the work is done, employees will be able to enter from Dow or Commercial streets, but the main lobby and customer entrance will remain in its current Dow Street location.
One end of the new area will feature a conference center with seating for 300, a small stage and state-of-the-art audio-video capabilities. At the other end will be a training room and theater with seating for 50, designed for internal training, product launches, community events and the occasional movie night for employees.
The two floors will be connected by more than an elevator. The rock climbing wall will be expanded from one to two stories, Mailhot said, and a playground-style slide will enable employees to "move quickly from the second to first floor." A wide stairway will connect a conference room on the second floor with a conference room on the first floor.
"We're also going to add another deck off the space on the first floor, so we have another outdoor area, and will be putting in a small gym for employees who want to do a little workout before work or after lunch," Mailhot said.
Scattered between the conference center and theater will be space for 160 to 180 workstations, depending on the design. "We really want to break that space up with some more informal spaces," he said. "Think cafe style; think Starbucks or Panera cafe tables, where we'll have power outlets for our employees and allow them to step away from their workspace or cubicle into a little more public area."
Dyn, which offers a variety of Web technology services, has consistently been ranked as one of the country's fastest-growing tech companies by Inc. magazine.
Its clients include Twitter, CNBC, Netflix, Photobucket, Gawker, Pandora, and Zappos.

My 6.5 week old takes at least an hour to nurse every time. I don't mind most the time the only problem is I feel like I can never get out of the house because I'd have to nurse for an hour wherever I go as opposed to just a quick trip to the back room or car or wherever to nurse. We've introduced a bottle of expressed milk to get her used to the bottle for when I go back to work and she takes just as long to drink 3oz from the bottle.
She does fall asleep a lot and we're constantly waking her up. I don't mind the cuddles but I'm afraid she'll associate my boobs with sleeping and snacking.
Do you have any tips to making her nurse quicker?
She's healthy with plenty pee and poo diapers and had gained 2lbs at her one month check up.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The conclave to elect the next pope is now down to 116 cardinals after one decided he is too old and infirm to participate.
AsiaNews, a Vatican-affiliated missionary news agency, said Thursday that Indonesia's 78-year-old Cardinal Julius Darmaatjadja, emeritus archbishop of Jakarta, cited poor eyesight and inability to have an assistant inside the Sistine Chapel as reasons for staying home.
All cardinals under age 80 are eligible to vote. The full College of Cardinals must approve anyone renouncing their duty, but it has done so in the past for cases of illness or infirmity.
No date for the conclave has been set, but it's expected within two weeks after Pope Benedict XVI resigns Feb. 28.
The Vatican spokesman said Thursday he didn't anticipate any new cardinal nominations before Benedict's resignation.
