Lesson learned could pave Matheson's way to NHLby Arpon Basu
Michael Matheson had never known what it was like to be anything less than a dominant hockey player, but now that he's been challenged on the ice the young defenseman headed to Boston College in the fall is right back on the path of dominance he's traveled his entire life.
Matheson left his home of Pointe-Claire, Que. -- a suburb in the western part of the island of Montreal -- around this time last year to go to Dubuque, Iowa to play in the United States Hockey League, foregoing his status as the top prospect available in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft to pursue his dream of playing collegiate hockey.
"It would be great to be able to go in the first round, but it is a very deep defensemen class. If it does happen that would be great, because it's a huge honor to be with the type of players being drafted this year. But at the end of the day it's just a draft, and it doesn't mean you're any more or any less of a player." -- Michael Matheson
But after years of dominating every level of minor hockey in Quebec, Matheson was faced with a situation in the USHL where his talent did not set him apart nearly as much as it had before, and the adjustment was a difficult one for him to make.
"Everything was new to him," Matheson's coach in Dubuque, Jim Montgomery, told NHL.com. "He was basically able to get away with his unbelievable skill his entire life, because his skill is at an elite level. But he was put in a situation where he was facing players who could match his skill.
"He had to adjust his game and understand he wasn't going to create a scoring chance on every shift."
Prior to going to Dubuque, Matheson had traveled to the Ivan Hlinka Tournament with Canada's under-18 team, where he got his first taste of humble pie when he rarely saw the ice as a seventh defenseman.
"It was still a pretty special experience playing for Canada and wearing the maple leaf in an international tournament," Matheson, the 30th-ranked North American skater on NHL Central Scouting's list, told NHL.com. "I made the team as a seventh defenseman, I knew that, and in a short setting like that where the camp and the tournament are in a really short time frame, it's pretty tough for a guy to really build his stock.
"If anything, it motivated me to try and catch those guys who were ahead of me and really develop my game so that it could be at that level."
Matheson admits that perhaps he was a little over-motivated at the start of the USHL season, and that may have contributed to him wanting to make a game-changing play on every shift.
Kosmachuk has fun on way to draftBy Deborah Francisco - NHL.com Staff Writer
Guelph forward Scott Kosmachuk combines a fun-loving attitude and scoring touch, making him a top prospect heading into the 2012 NHL Draft. READ MORE ›

"I think I just had some bad habits that I developed in midget and when I was younger that got a little bit exposed in the USHL. I just had to learn to simplify my game and improve my decision making, especially," Matheson said. "Once I did that, I started putting up more points and it all snowballed. Once I was playing simpler and stronger defensively, it gave me more opportunities offensively.
"I think it's always been in my nature as a player to try to do too much. Being able to get that out of my game has been helpful, and I kind of have more of a mentality now that less is more, especially defensively."
Montgomery and his coaching staff played a big role in Matheson seeing the light, going so far as to sit him down a few times early in the season while discussing the adjustments he needed to make and showing him through video.
However, over at NHL Central Scouting, they were willing to give Matheson the benefit of the doubt considering how drastically his life had changed in a short time.
"We went in there knowing he was in a new league, in a different country, living away from home. A lot of players have expectations of what it's going to be like, but they do need to go around the block once or twice to figure it out," NHL Central Scouting director Dan Marr said. "His game came around in the second half. There were things we saw that we were looking for, especially on the defensive side of the game.
"It bodes well for him that he did figure it out."
Did he ever.
At the Christmas break, Matheson had four goals and four assists in 24 games, averaging 0.33 points per game. Following the Christmas break, Matheson played 29 games and scored seven goals with 12 assists, doubling his points per game average to 0.66. Then in the playoffs Matheson really took off, scoring four goals and adding an assist in five games, getting 21 shots on goal and proving once and for all that he had learned something about himself over the course of the season.
Montgomery believes strongly that Matheson will be able to apply what he learned in Dubuque as he continues to climb toward his ultimate goal.
"I think this adjustment he had to make, as he moves on to college and to pro hockey, this will be an experience he can draw from," Montgomery said.
One of the big reasons Matheson wanted to take the college route to the NHL was to give his body an opportunity to develop, and he says he put on 20 pounds over this past season in Dubuque as he looks ahead to his freshman season at Boston College.
But first he has a big moment to experience this weekend at the NHL Draft in Pittsburgh, and he doesn't care if it's Friday night in the first round or Saturday in one of the later ones.
"I'm just going to try and enjoy the experience, it's a once in a lifetime experience," Matheson said. "It would be great to be able to go in the first round, but it is a very deep defensemen class. If it does happen that would be great, because it's a huge honor to be with the type of players being drafted this year. But at the end of the day it's just a draft, and it doesn't mean you're any more or any less of a player."
The one thing that will be enticing to NHL scouting directors this weekend is Matheson's skill set. He's a tremendous skater with a blistering shot who can put up numbers and have his team going from defense to offense in very short order.
"The style I play seems to be more and more of what the NHL is like," Matheson said. "It's becoming a really fast game, so you need to be able to skate, and for me to have some of the assets you need in the NHL is definitely a good thing."

Spot on. If it was worth my time I'd search and correlate unnecessary application of motorist and bogun stereotyping by some of these same complainants.
The thread is about lights.
I don't mind that so many riders get motivated in illogical ways. Often that is by putting themselves in tribal gear.
I DO mind a bit that simple things like lights and bells are dispensed with. And with those stereotypes mentioned it surely can't be for reasons of cost and preparation. Fit the damned things and kill this thread off.

How Bad Is It To Bring Your Queen Out Too Early?
Hey everyone and welcome to last week's recap of Pardon our Blunders and "THE BIG Show." I'm putting last week's shows up to test the waters and see how much attention these blogs for the Official Chess.com/TV Group will hopefully get.
Today's PoB show consisted of 10 topics plus a Blunder of the Week, but since there wasn't any candidate for BOTW, the Blunder goes on Danny and David for not preparing one. Shame on the both of you. Go to the corner for 5 minutes and you get no TV, ice cream or cookies.
OK. Sorry. Just got distracted. Anyways, here is the topic list for today's show minus the non-existant BOTW. Hopefully this new format and look won't mess up the recaps. All links will be given in the actual recap of the topic. Some topics may have multiple links:
- 1. Ilia Smirin: "I think he (Gelfand) has good chances... from the point of view of character and motivation I prefer Gelfand." – In talking about the upcoming WCH Match With Anand: You buy it???
- 2. Does "Fantasy Chess" have a real future, or is it just the USCF's way of "Americanizing" chess to compare with other sports?
- 3. Will we be seeing more of Naka in Local Swiss'/Opens? (Naka shows up for an open with all players 400+ points below him)
- 4. Is Darwin (Yang) ready to evolve? First GM norm on the horizon in St Louis?
- 5. Set-back for Hou-- Is her Golden Streak over?
- 6. Member Question: If I've never played in an OTB event, how much preparation do I need before I can go?
- 7. Azerbaijan buys a wild-card spot for Radja--
- a Should countries be able to buy a player a WC shot in this way?
- b Shouldn't the "great cities of the world" be able to come up with the money themselves?
- c. Will this bother Radja's play in any way?
- 8. So MUCH Press for Polgar's move to Webster from Texas Tech: Good for chess, bad or indifferent?
- 9. Why won't Caruana take a break of more than 3 days between tournaments?
- 10. Modern Chess Opinion: Is it REALLY that bad to bring your queen out early?
Topic #1: In the recent Chessbase article, Gelfand gives about a 5-minute interview discussing the upcoming match vs. Anand in the month of May. Gelfand could easily shake things up with a win against Anand, who hasn't done much in competitive chess since the win against Topalov back in 2010. These two players have faced off 70+ times since 1989 and the question is, who wants it more? I would have to say Gelfand, as of right now, looks to be more motivated than the nearly silent Champion. Gelfand said that this match will be one of the greatest matches in history and also said that nobody's invincible and nobody's immune to mistakes. Obviously, he's throwing that at Anand. The sky won't fall if Anand beats Gelfand and there won't be any heavenly voices coming from the clouds. But if Boris beats Anand...we might see our little pink oinker friends fly.
Topic #2: We've all heard of fantasy sports leagues; baseball, football, hockey, etc. What about chess? Is this the next big thing in chess or is it a way of "Americanizing" chess in comparison to other sports? I must admit it definitely intrigues me on some level, especially since I run a very in-depth Chessmaster 10 league on my computer. The prizes for the USCF Fantasy league are pretty decent as well. I mean who wouldn't want a luxury chess table or a lesson with GM Ben Finegold? But does this demean or lower chess internationally with the USCF doing this? Or does it peak interest with the younger generation for which these types of fantasy leagues are popular among? Is it better to just watch the real deal without having to worry about "gambling" on who's going to win for your fantasy team? Danny pretty much thinks this is ridiculous and David sees a future for it (fantasy chess) but it's poorly implemented by the USCF. He's even considering running a fantasy league based on the upcoming USCL season. I definitely don't think you'll see fantasy chess leagues in today's school system, unless of course those schools have chess clubs.
Topic #3: Nakamura and Twitter. A match seemingly made in heaven. Sorta like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his obssession with the social media site. I personally think Naka plays in tournaments just so he can tweet about it. Here's a recent entry on Naka's account:
"Good first round win in the Grand Pacific Open, and fabulous weather here in Victoria, British Columbia!"
Will Naka be entering these lesser Swiss/Open tournaments just for elo points, beating down lower elo rating players and feeding his "chess rockstar" image? Personally, I think he just needs attention.
Topic #4: Is youngin' IM Darwin Yang on the verge of claiming his first GM norm at the 2nd St. Louis Invitational? In his recent and first Chess.com blog, he recounts his performance at the 28th North American Masters tourney. Currently the 2448 elo rated IM has a 2699 Performance rating and seems to be on pace to claim the elusive GM norm with a +1/=2/-0 record so far.. He would need a 6/9 to claim that and with two rounds per day, does he have enough in the gas tank to keep his performance and spirit up? Here is the official site to keep track of this tournament. Yang has matured greatly in the past 6 months or so and playing at a new level in his chess according to the guys and Danny even goes further to say he'll get two GM norms by the end of the year, the first one being at the 2nd St. Louis Invitational. Hoepfully it will happen because of his recent breakthrough, he deserves it.
Topic #5: Is Hou Yifan's "golden streak" over with? Yes she is the 17-year-old Women's World Champion but she suffered a miserable performance at the Chinese Chess Championships and lost to the weakest players in the event. She's had a great streak of 2700+ performances, but this showing knocked her off the pedastal quite a bit. A little bit of burnout setting in? We all get it in all aspects of life, not just chess. She's allowed. She's the youngest Women's World Champion in history and only 18. She's going to have more of these types of outings for sure in her career. One bump shouldn't wreck the car.
Topic #6: So, if you've never played an OTB tourney before, what do you need to get ready for? A beating by an 8-year-old for starters. Danny said that there are 9-year-olds in China that can wreck him. If you throw your ego aside and accept you're going to take a beating from a kid perhaps twice or three times younger than you. Their advice: Just go to the tournament and do it. As long as you have the basics down of actual move recording and use of clocks (especially if you've been playing online for a year or so, since computers do everything for you now.) All you really need is to get over the fear of taking a beating from someone young enough to be your son or daughter.
Topic #7: This following topic revolves around the chaos of the Candidates tournament and where it was going to be held, at what time of year, politics, this and that yadda yadda. Anyone who has been keeping up with this knows about the American businessman Andrew Paulson living in Russia buying the rights to the WCC cycle and wanting to hold it a month or so before the prestigious December London Chess Classic. It's now going to be held in early 2013 in London, but using some Azerbaijani money, which enabled Teimour Radjabov eligible to participate in the tournament.
Part A) Should countries be able to buy their players' participation in events like this?
Absolutely yes! If countries add money to the prize purse and allows the platform for them to participate and one of the stipulations is that their #1 player plays in the tournament? There's nothing wrong with it. Yes other players may gripe about this seeing they earned their spot and not having to rely on money to buy their way into a Candidates tournament. ESPECIALLY a Candidates tournament. It's better than not having a chess tournament.
Part B & C) Should the "great cities of the world" be able to come up with the money? and will Radjabov's play be affected by this?
Originally, the tournament was to be held in Azerbiajian, but a top Candidate named Levon Aronian, the GM from Armenia, refused to play there. To avoid having the #2 player in the world NOT be in the tournament (like Magnus back in 2010), other plans needed to be made. Radja is ranked 5th in the world and that alone makes him deserving of a spot in the Candidates. And no I don't think his play is going to be bothered by this but other players may resent him being there because of how he got there.
Topic #7: Why can't Fabiano Caruana sit still for more than 3 days without playing in a tournament? Simple. He wants to play chess and he enjoys it. He has the energy and despite his Harry Potter appearance, David said he's actually quite strong and he likes interesting challenges and enjoys seeing all of the different tournaments out there. He wants to see the cities, wants to keep playing and better his knowledge of chess. Danny said he's at the stage in his career where he values experience and he's taking action to increase his strength and image in chess to become part of the chess elite. He realizes the gap between himself and the higher echelon players and he wants to close that gap and gain the experiences needed so he's ready for those times when it comes. Carlsen is Caruana's Voldemort and he's going to try to chase him down.
Topic #8: So was Susan Polgar's decision to move her SPICE program from Texas Tech to Webster University in St. Louis (the USA's Chess "Mecca" it seems) going to affect the world of chess in this country or how the rest of the world views her move. Is it going to do a lot for chess and the attention that it's getting? Probably. Maybe. Not really. It's really unknown what the reverb of her decision will be. But when it's seen on sites like Yahoo and in articles on ESPN.com, it's pretty big news.
It could be seen as a bigger deal since the players are going to be moving with her. Susan herself said that St. Louis is the center of chess in this country, bankrolled by Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis president Rex Sinquefield. Only time will tell what the backlash will be. Chess doesn't need any more negative media attention but it could thrive with more positive feedback.
Topic #10: OK. Who brings their queen out relatively early in a game? *raises hand* Well, that's the topic here. Bringing out the Queen too early. Now from a coach point of view, David uses the Scotch for example here and tries to show them the difference between 1. e4 e5, 2. d4 and then the queen to d4 after pawn takes pawn or 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 then the pawns and knights trade and the Queen moves to d4. See below for the two diagrams.
In both cases, the Queen comes to d4 in the exact same pawn structure. In one case it's a failure for White, and in the other, a huge success and the difference is "is there a productive way to gain time off of the Queen's position?" That's the main principle on whether or not to bring your Queen out early. In one case it's good so that Nc6 can be played and gains time because White has to move the Queen.
Anyways I hope I explained that well enough. I never said I was really good at chess. For the full version, go watch the replay if you're a Platinum/Diamond member and fast forward to about 61 minutes in and see for yourself.
Here is the recap of last week's "The BIG Show" where Danny went 9.0/10 after coming off a perfect show the week before.
Game 1: vs. tykartaltepe - B07 Pirc Defence
Game 2: vs. Epirioti - A48 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6: Torre, London & Colle Systems
Game 3: vs. josh407 - C41 Philidor Defence
Game 4: vs. paddestoel - B22 Sicilian: 2. c3
Game 5: vs. FTWR - B80 Sicilian Scheveningen: 6. c3 & 6. Bg3 including English Attack
Game 6: vs. anxiousrhino - B87 Sicilian Scheveningen/Najdorf: 6. Bc4 with early ...b5
Game 7: vs. kramnik_02 - E10 Blumenfeld Gambit
Game 8: vs. C-D-B - B07 Pirc Defence: Misc. Systems
Game 9: vs. Culleux - B22 Sicilian: 2. c3
Final Game: vs. namahshivaya - C41 Philidor Defence
Now the players who had their games interrupted and got automatic wins vs. Danny are listed below:
igalse, Daeru, youngpro, josh407, DeepGreen, niklai, MissionAssassin
I hope to get a lot of attention for the group doing the recaps this way and if not, I will go back to doing the recaps in the forums, both in our group and in public.
Thanks for reading and check out the group when you have the time.

A gay romantic mystery, Bishonen is roughly based on an incident that was the biggest scandal to hit the Hong Kong Police force. A cache of photographs was discovered in the home of a wealthy playboy, which all featured handsome young men in police uniforms, some of them half nude, others holding law enforcement paraphernalia such as clubs in suggestive poses. An investigation by the Police Department revealed that some of the men were indeed policemen, whereas others were hustlers and gigolos. The focus of Bishonen is not this scandal, but rather the highly unusual meeting of two different worlds, illustrated in the romantic entanglement involving a policeman, two male prostitutes and a gay pop singer. The film starts with a simple love story and a series of emotional knots, some of which are impossible to untangle. Tragedy is inevitable. Jet is the star of a group of male hustlers in the steaming city of Hong Kong. He is arrogant and sexy; everyone is in love with him but he loves no one, until one day he meets Sam, the best looking policeman around. After meeting Sam, Jet tries to change into someone he is not: innocent, sweet, clean and pure. This is his way of setting a trap to catch Sam, but he falls into a trap himself. In the process, he discovers that the righteous young cop has a darker side. Things go out of control when Sam's past and Jet's present become intermingled -- not unlike Hong Kong itself, a cauldron of traditional Chinese ethics and modern Western values. Happiness will be achieved only in the harmony of the discordant elements. All four leading actors are newcomers to the big screen; Steven Fung who plays Jet, has become one of the biggest teen idols in Asia. The film begins on a good premise; however, it slowly slides into comfortable melodrama with a predictable ending. Bishonen was screened in the Panorama section of the 49th International Berlin Film Festival.

Bishonen and we will let you know when it becomes available.

When it comes to the matter of public washrooms, forget the nasty odors, blocked toilets and dirty sinks – for British inventor James Dyson, the issue that needs dealing with most is one of water spillage as you walk across to the hand dryer.
His new Airblade Tap, which uses similar technology to that found inside the company's popular Airblade hand dryer, incorporates a high-speed dryer into a faucet, allowing users to wash and dry their hands in the same spot. Dyson hopes his new invention, which launches this week, will help to eliminate the problem of hazardous wet floors.
"In washrooms using conventional taps, you'll need to move to a separate hand drying area, dripping water on the floors as you go," Dyson explains on his website. "It's why we've developed a tap with our hand drying technology in it."
According to Dyson, the Airblade Tap is also more efficient than conventional hand dryers, with his invention drying a pair of hands in just 12 seconds compared to "up to 43 seconds" with today's dryers.
To use Dyson's sensor-laden faucet-dryer combo, you first place your hands underneath, at which point water is automatically dispensed. To set off the 420mph jet of air, you simply spread your hands apart slightly. The unit is powered by a 1600-watt motor located beneath the sink.
Dyson adds that the Airblade Tap is more hygienic than other dryers, which he says "suck in dirty air and then blow it back onto hands."
His machine, on the other hand, uses HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters, which the inventor claims catch 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses floating about a washroom, thereby enabling you to dry your hands with clean, rather than dirty, air.
As you might expect with a Dyson product, the Airblade Tap doesn't come cheap. Its £1000 ($1575) launch price is likely to prove prohibitive for many businesses interested in installing the unit. However, if the cost comes down over time, we can well imagine it becoming a popular fixture in washrooms around the world. You can check it out below.

JMU prepared for changes to MCAT
With its strong general education program, its many undergraduate research opportunities and its extensive programming in health and human services outreach, James Madison University is well positioned to prepare its premedical students for the coming changes to the Medical College Admissions Test.
Beginning in 2015, the MCAT will assess not only candidates' knowledge of the natural sciences essential to the practice of medicine, but also the social and psychological foundations of human behavior that affect health. Aspiring physicians will also be tested on their critical analysis and reasoning skills.
The changes, the first to the MCAT since 1991, were developed by an advisory committee that spent three years studying health care trends in the United States and analyzing 2,700 survey responses from college and medical-school faculty members, medical residents, students and advisors. The Association of American Medical Colleges approved the panel's recommendations in February.
JMU currently has 1,015 declared premedical students, and their numbers are growing at a rate faster than the student population at Madison as a whole. The new exam should help encourage students from diverse academic tracks to pursue careers in medicine, said Dr. Sharon Babcock, coordinator of preprofessional health programs. "There have always been psychology majors, anthropology majors and economics majors who have gone on to medical school," she said, "but what this new test will do is really underscore students' experiences in the behavioral and social sciences in looking at human beings, both as individuals and in groups, and some of the decisions they make regarding their health."
The 2015 launch is designed to give current premedical students time to broaden their course loads. In addition to the core requirements for medical school such as cellular and molecular biology, general and organic chemistry, and physics, pre-med students are now strongly encouraged to take courses in critical thinking — a section of the new MCAT — psychology and sociology. Upper-level coursework in biochemistry, genetics, microbiology and physiology as well as in the behavioral and social sciences is also recommended.
Babcock, along with Dr. Herb Amato, associate dean of university studies, have worked with deans and department heads for the past eight months to ensure that premedical students at JMU, and incoming freshmen in particular, have timely access to the courses that will best prepare them for the new MCAT. The most immediate challenge, Amato said, involved opening up more seats in CHEM 131 (General Chemistry I) — the first in a rigorous five-semester sequence of chemistry courses for pre-med students — in the fall semester and adding sections of GPHIL 120 (Critical Thinking).
In an email to JMU's 343 freshmen who have declared pre-medicine, Babcock stresses the importance of establishing a pattern of excellence in the classroom as well as in service and leadership. JMU's Institute for Innovation in Health and Human Services serves as a valuable resource for pre-med students by connecting them with volunteer and service-learning opportunities in the surrounding community. Additionally, pre-med students can benefit from a wealth of collaborative undergraduate research projects available at JMU.
Admission and progression standards are in place to catch those second-year pre-med students who either have good grades but need to be reminded of the value of interning or volunteering in a clinical setting and developing quality relationships with faculty members, or those students who are falling behind academically and may need a change in career focus.
Because the medical-school application process generally requires 12 to 15 months, good academic planning and quality advising are imperative. Those freshmen who plan to go directly to medical school after graduation should plan to take the MCAT in the summer following their junior year. However, Babcock said most candidates — almost 60 percent nationally — choose to take the test in their senior year or later. "Academic success is crucial," she said. "Timing can be flexible."
JMU's commitment to undergraduate education is well suited to the changing needs of the medical profession. "It's my dream that these students go off and carry that perspective with them because that's the basis for some slow, steady, advancements in medical education," Babcock said.

In a bizarre turn of events, MTV will diverge from their winning programming formula combining chronicles of booger-eating, testicle-smashing and the lifestyles of wealthy, indolent children, by reintroducing daytime music video programming this summer, as well as premiering brand new videos every Friday evening as part of the soon-to-be-launched show "F'N MTV." L.A.-based art punk band No Age has been chosen as one of the network's "most talked about" artists, and will debut the video for its new single, "Eraser," on the June 27 episode of the show. In addition, No Age, whose Sub Pop debut, Nouns was released May 6th of this year, will be interviewed live on the episode by host, and tabloid favorite, Pete Wentz. Following the premiere, Eraser will go into regular rotation, including newly introduced daytime spots. Are you kidding me? This is HUGE!
Also, in other totally rad news, No Age will be playing "Eraser" and "Sleeper Hold" on Fuel TV's Daily Habit on Monday the 16th!

About me: My name is Jannis (Yuh-Nizz), I'm 21, from Germany, right at the end of my media design apprenticeship. I've found back to art in spring '06 after a long pause. I've been doing all kinds of creative hobbies in the last 10 years, including level design, 3d-modeling, texturing, photographing, web design and of course graphic design, the latter three being what I have been doing professionaly for the past 3-4 years.
About my so-called art: I have much too learn. I probably already drew pictures before I could speak, but now I started painting for the first time. Digitally, because I love the medium and color range. Quick and sketchy, because I'm impatient by nature. Environments, because it's the most thrilling aspect in my opinion.
Alright. I started this sketchbook out of pure desperation with no particular art in the back, so here are some of my speedies to fill up. Updates by chance.

Remington 1911
Does anyone know anything about the Remington 1911s that are out? They are reasonably priced but I knot that Remington is not known for 1911 production.

I have one and although I haven't put a lot of rounds through it it hasn't hiccupped yet and seems to be pretty solid. I haven't heard or read of anyone saying anything bad about them. I'm sure there are better 1911's (some of them sure better be for the price) and there are some that are worse but this one seems to be exactly what it is sold as - a solid 1911 for the price. I bought one last year during the 1911-centenial craze for the same reason, it seemed like a nice 1911 to add to my collection for the price. Remington may not be known for making them but they are a quality firm for the rifles and shotguns they have made for a long time. I don't think they would have put out a lame 1911 that would hurt that reputation. They are also actively doing some upgrades to the first basic R1 model so they seem to be willing to keep prodicing them for a while yet.

The Interstitial Cystitis Association of America (ICA) is a national nonprofit patient-driven organization acting as an informative and supportive agent to patients with interstitial cystitis (IC). The group also seeks to educate both the medical profession and the public about interstitial cystitis--once thought to be rare--which may affect millions of people in the United States. IC is a chronic condition of the bladder wall which frequently goes undiagnosed. Although the cause is unknown and no treatment is uniformly effective for everyone, many treatments are available and the vast majority of patients obtain relief. Symptoms include bladder pain, urinary urgency, day and night frequency (up to 60 times per day in some people), suprapubic (lower abdominal) or perineal (area between scrotum and anus in men, or vagina and anus in women) pain and pressure. Interstitial cystitis is most often found in women but can affect either gender. ICA supports research through its own Pilot Research Program. The ICA provides one-on-one support, via phone, mail or e-mail; and through the IC Question Corner on their Web site, where consumer questions are answered by trained IC staff.

Connor Barth came up short on a 56-yard field goal in the closing minutes of the Bucs' 24-23 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
TAMPA | Connor Barth came up short on a 56-yard field goal in the closing minutes of the Bucs' 24-23 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
But that didn't bother the Bucs as much as the three field goals Barth made. If just one of them could have been turned into a touchdown, the Bucs might have won their fifth straight game.
"We've been very good at scoring touchdowns off of takeaways, and when you come up with field goals, it's hard to win games by threes," said coach Greg Schiano. "Sevens add up considerably quicker."
The Bucs settled for field goals after gaining a first down at the Atlanta 3-yard line in the first half; after a 13-play drive early in the second half; and after a fumble recovery set them up at the Atlanta 36 in the fourth quarter. Ronde Barber's 47th career interception set up the first field goal, and it was immediately followed by a 28-yard pass from Mike Williams to Vincent Jackson on a play that stunned the Falcons.
Still the Bucs got only three points out of it.
"Our defense … did a great job," quarterback Josh Freeman said. "They gave us two turnovers, put us up in prime position and we just couldn't get the touchdown. (We) kicked way too many field goals."
Schiano wouldn't second-guess himself on the long field-goal attempt with 3:32 left. The Bucs faced a fourth-and-7 at the Atlanta 38-yard line.
"There's thoughts of pinning them down (with a punt), there's thoughts of going for it on fourth," he said. "There were thoughts that we've made a field goal from longer than that … and the wind was coming from the ship (behind the Bucs), so the reason we did it is my confidence in Connor, and I still have confidence.
"Again, it was one of those missed opportunities. It's a tall oder, but I think we have one of the best kickers in the NFL."
Quarterback Josh Freeman agreed.
"Connor's a great FG kicker. He has the range," Freeman said. "Putting that much stress and that sort of a kick on his back, it's a tough kick for anyone to make. No, I think it was a great decision to let Connor try it because I think more often that not he's going make extreme kicks like those."

The Atrix 4G is not your normal Android phone. It is a mobile computer that can transform into a laptop, desktop, set-top box, and a phone. We previously learned that the laptop dock might debut around $150 and today we discovered that the HD multimedia dock could sell for less than half that price.
A place-holder page on the wireless superstore Fommy.com has the HD dock currently listed for $59.95, which sounds like a reasonable price when you consider what the accessory can do. The HD dock includes three USB ports to hook up a keyboard, mouse, plus external storage and it also sports a micro HDMI port for full HD playback. Motorola also threw in a wireless remote control to control the media center app.
When the Atrix is placed in the HD dock it can launch Motorola's webtop application for a full desktop experience or their entertainment center app. Each dock remembers which mode you originally set it up for, so you could purchase multiple docks and have your Atrix automatically know where you are and what you need.
If you don't want all the extra bells and whistles, it looks like Motorola will also offer a standard dock as Fommy has one listed for $49.
We still don't have an official launch date, but the Atrix 4G will be in stores by the end of February. It's a good thing this phone might sell for $149 on new 2-year contract, because I'll need to save my money to purchase all its accessories.
Features of the HD multimedia dock include:
- Intelligent IC chip inside recognizes a full battery
- Automatically switches to a saver mode to prevent overcharging and short circuit
- Phone can still be used during charging
- Compact, lightweight and stylish
- The desktop charger allows docking and charging
- It also allows you to connect to a PC or laptop for USB charging and data synchronization all from this compact little station
- Listen to music, see photos or watch HD videos using a standard HDMI cable (sold separately)
- In desktop-only mode, listen to your music or use as a digital picture frame while charging your Motorola ATRIX 4G

An infant born with the virus that causes AIDS was "functionally cured" after receiving early, aggressive drug treatment, according to a research team that includes a University of Massachusetts Medical School professor.
The child, a girl born in Mississippi and now 2 1/2 years old, is healthy and in long-term remission, said the researchers, who will present their findings Monday at a medical conference in Atlanta. Traces of the virus known as HIV have been detected in the child using highly sensitive tests, but the virus has not replicated after the child stopped taking medication, said Dr. Katherine F. Luzuriaga, UMass professor and immunologist.
"What we are hypothesizing happened is that by treating this child within days of birth, we were able to minimize the generation of reservoirs," cells in the body that harbor genetic code for the virus known as HIV, said Dr. Luzuriaga. "And in that scenario, the period of treatment was sufficient to again reduce those reservoirs to the point where, when this child did come off antiretroviral therapy, they were able to maintain control of whatever little virus there may be."
The researchers discussed their findings today at a news conference in Atlanta. Also on the research team are lead author Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore and pediatrician Dr. Hannah Gay of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. Dr. Gay treated the baby, who was not identified.
HIV can be transmitted through sex, blood transfusions and shared intravenous needles. Infected women can pass the virus to their babies in the womb, during childbirth and through breast milk. When left untreated, HIV destroys an individual's immune system and leads to death.
U.S. public health officials estimate there were 10,834 HIV-infected individuals younger than 13 in the 46 states that report data as of 2009, and 88 percent of those children were infected at birth.
Women can reduce the likelihood of passing HIV to their babies by taking antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy, however, the Mississippi baby was born to a mother who did not know she was infected and had not taken medication to control the virus, the researchers said.
The baby's risk of infection was high, so Dr. Gay started the newborn on the drugs AZT, epivir and nevirapine when she was just 30 hours old, according to Dr. Luzuriaga. Tests later confirmed the infant was infected.
"Since the baby was infected and was already on a treatment regimen, the antiviral medicines were continued with the intent that they would be given for a lifetime," Dr. Gay wrote in a statement released by the University of Mississippi. "The viral load in the baby's blood fell while on the medicine as was expected and actually fell to below the level of detection of our clinical test within less than a month."
The child remained on medication and was taken to doctors for regular visits for more than a year. Doctors lost contact with the child for five months, however, catching up with the mother and baby when the child was 23 months old and had been off medication for about five months.
Ordinary tests showed no sign of HIV in the child, but some highly sensitive procedures known as assays detected it, according to Dr. Luzuriaga.
The researchers are preparing a paper on their findings for submission to peer-reviewed research journals. They said they do not have enough information to recommend changes to the way HIV-infected newborns are treated.
"This is one case," Dr. Luzuriaga said. "It's generated a lot of excitement. It's generated hypotheses for future testing, and I think that's what's going to be important, future testing on this baby and then additional clinical trials to see whether we can replicate this in other children."

I retired from the University of Illinois in 1995 as a professor of physics.
I have since concerned myself mostly with civic affairs, against U.S. wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and attacks of human rights in the United States and elsewhere (Guantanamo). I belong to local activist group 9 called AWARE (anti-war-anti-racism-effort) in Urbana. My wife Phyllis and I have two sons and two grandchildren. I have travelled and worked a lot in France (Saclay and Orsay laboratories). One of my avocations is to promote Le Monde Diplomatique, a serious independent monthly of the left, and whose General Assembly of "Amis" meets each year. My health has been pretty good so far, allowing long day hikes into mountains every year. Backpacking however, which requires a good back, has been abandoned. Music, reading, writing, emails, and the day-to-day affairs of life take up most of my time. Perhaps this note can act as an incentive for others of my vintage to send in their notes as well. My only contacts with old classmates recently have been with Louis Nidus (M.S., Physics, 1952), who dropped into Urbana last year, and Tom Scolman (Ph.D., Physics, 1956), with whom we have exchanged holiday greetings for years. The UIUC physics department continues to be a welcoming and stimulating part of my life here.

DEDHAM, Mass. – The MIT track & field teams began their 2010 Outdoor season on Saturday, competing in the Northeastern Invitational on Saturday afternoon. Tech only sent a few athletes to the meet, just one week removed from a tremendous showing at the NCAA Indoor Championship.
Jack Bourbonnais had a solid showing in the 10k, finishing ninth, and third among Division III runners, with a time of 33:44.26. Matthew Weaver was just over a minute behind Bourbonnais (34:51.45) and in 21st place.
James Oleinik was the first of four Tech competitors in the shot put, all of whom reached at least 40 feet with their throws. Oleinik had the fourth best effort out of over 50 entries, with a toss of 49-5.50 feet. Mitchell Kelly finished ninth, throwing 44-11.50 feet. Kenneth Cooper (41-2.50 feet) and Anthony McDonald (40-10.25) also had strong efforts, finishing among the top 16. Oleinik, Kelly and Cooper had three of the top four throws among Division III competitors. McDonald was also entered in the hammer throw and took home eighth place with a 157-06 foot effort. Adam Mustafa (148-01) and Cooper (147-02) were also impressive in their season debut.
On the women's side, Juls Andren was the Engineers' only representative, competing in the hammer throw. Andren placed 23rd with a throw of 108-00 feet.
This week, the Cardinal and Gray will depart for its annual spring training trip.

If you do the valiant dailies for each faction you get a ton of rep. Some of us were gimped in the rep department due to leveling well before BC. I started out way behind on rep, but I have quickly caught up. Here is what I did.
1) Do the Valiant Dailies at the Same time as you Champion Dailies: They are pretty much the same quests and you get credit for both at the same time. Very easy. The only ones that arent the same are the jousting ones in the Argent Camp and the one to fly off and find a damn sword.
2) After your main faction, pick the one with the lowest rep next: If you are lowest on Exodar rep, pick them. If it is Darnassus or Gnomeregan pick them. You will get 250 rep for them each time you turn in a valiant quest. You will also receive rep towards each of the other factions when you do this.
3) Choose writs instead of gold: You can turn in these writs with any faction you are a champion with. Each writ gets you 250 rep towards that faction and another 75 towards each of the other factions.
4) Once you can turn in the Valiant Quest, DON'T: When you get a enought valiant marks to complete the quest, hold onto it. You can continue to do dailies with that faction to maximize your rep. Keep doing this until you are exalted, then you can move onto the next one. Depending on how close to exalted you were, you may have enough valiant marks to turn complete the next faction champion quest.
Follow these simple steps and you will be an Ambassador in no time flat.

This past weekend, I came home to find a thin letter from my safety school. I stood on my porch for several minutes realizing how utterly unprepared I was to emotionally deal with a rejection from this school. Eventually, I opened it to find an acceptance. This process is quite unnerving. Good luck everyone

Strobe temperature - cold or warm
Posted 19 September 2006 - 12:34 PM
Alex is well liked here on the forums, and this is due to his friendly nature and willingness to help others. Surely this is recognized by our members - but this doesn't extend to the level of our members blindly declaring that everything Alex says is right. Where's the fun in that?!?!? :-)
While many of us have posted in this thread corroborating information backing up the assertion in Alex's article, this is because we believe in the merits of the assertion - not just because of the author, but because of our own technical know-how and experience.
Please give us credit for that - we are not sheep. Anyone here is free to challenge what I SAY without challenging ME, and I believe Alex has always felt and stated the same thing. This has been a cornerstone value here at Wetpixel from the start.
Dual Ikelite Strobes
Photo site - www.reefpix.org
Posted 19 September 2006 - 01:09 PM
I use both 4800k and 5500k strobes, but cannot show a comparison because I do not have anything shot..same subject, same day, same conditions, once with each temp strobes on board. And without that benchmark it will be meaningless. But I can tell you that at those temps the differences are very very subtle. They are certainly real, but in reading these forums one would think there is this drastic cold blue image vs. this saturated red one, and that isn't quite the way it works out.
To get back to the original question. I can't show you the difference between using warm and cold strobes because I use warm strobes only. However for what it is worth, here are the advantages:
The words warm and cold each infer a natural and expected level of comfort, but you should not translate that to strobes. The "cool" strobe is one that is actually trying to replicate daylight on a sunny day (5,000 to 6,000k), nothing more. A "warm" strobe is one that infers a bit more red on on most images. In my view there is a time for each and circumstances in which the properties of each apply differently. And keep in mind that the temp of each is at full power without diffuser. Lower power settings and diffusers will lower temp. So while you can easily go down from the rated temp of a strobe, I do not believe you cannot go up.
I'll say this though----if I was to carry but one set of strobes they would be warmer ones.

Listen, I am sincerely sorry if you thought I was calling you a sheep (I am generally far more crass than to call anyone a benevolent fuzzy animal). I must admit though, that it is a curious interpretation of what is an accurate comment (the e-mails I have received indicate that there are people who look unkindly on challenging Alex's assertions). To me there's no harm to this being the case and there is nothing cowardly about any forum having preferred commentators.

If you shoot a 4300K strobe and set your white balance to 4300, you will end up w/ a "properly" exposed foreground and a certain colored water.
If you shoot a 5500K strobe and set your white balance to 5500, you will end up w/ a "properly" exposed foreground and a certain differently colored water.
In the above two examples, the foreground subject will look EXACTLY THE SAME however the ambient exposure will be different.
So in essence, your choice of strobe is affecting your ambient/background exposure.
and (2) quoted herbko:
Just in case you're not confused by the above, if you choose a color temperature white balance setting for your camera or raw converter, increasing the temperature will make your photo look more red. That's because the camera or software assumes that your light source is at that color temperature and compensates to give the "true" color for the subject.
Higher color temperature source -> more blue in the light -> photo is shifted to the red to compensate.
Here comes my consideration:
if the above is true saying that basically the picture will differ for color temperature in the background area (opposed to the same foreground) by 2 strobes with different color temperature (as per quote 1)
the higher the color temperature setting in your camera is (let's say by setting it to the higher strobe temp like 5500 K vs 4300K) vs the real color temperature which is actually in the water (especially in the background), the more reddish (warmer) your picture will be.
strobe 1 color temp = 4300K
strobe 2 color temp = 5500K
actual background color temp = 4000
camera setting 1 = 4300K
camera setting 2 = 5500
result: picture 2 will look warmer in the background than picture 1 (with the same foreground) since color setting in picture 2 is higher than in picture 1. However, both pictures will look slightly warmer than neutral in the background, since the assumed actual color temp is lower (4000) than both settings (5500 and 4300).
That would leed us to the (premature) conclusion that finally strobe 2 (@5500) renders a warmer picture????
BUT, as I thought about, isn't it the case that the actual color temperature in the water (esp. in the background with no illumination from the strobe) is rather hiher than lower, saying like 6500K? In this case -my understanding- the 4300 setting following the 4300 strobe would produce a warmer picture in the background (since the camera will compensate more for the difference between 6500 and 4300 than for the difference between 6500 and 5500). Is this correct or confusing??? hope this post is not too long.... but if someone can confirm this, then I know that I finally got it!

It would be interesting to shoot the background and then see what colour temperature PS describes it as - but I expect that this will be accompanied by a significant tint adjustment too!
The point here is that white balancing the foreground illumination will have an effect on the background colour which is to some degree predictable. The warmer the strobe, the bluer the background may become if the foreground is white balanced and its red quotient reduced (together with some subtle reduction of other colours).

Since the topic is up, does anyone know of a maker for an UW color card or greybalance card? I want to start taking a test shot each dive for later WB calibration. I know some folks use the small UW "white" marker board.
For that particular purpose you can just buy any 18% grey card for land use, and laminate it.
Just make sure you leave plenty of space around the card when you laminate it, so that you can punch holes through the edges for clipping the card to your BCD.

For RAW capture I think it is better to remember that WB setting in the camera has no effect at all on the pixel capture information. This way all you have to think about is that you are simply attempting to create a differential in foreground and background temp that allows you to cool/warm the whole image in a way that brings foreground and background to a point where both are pleasing to your eye. But in all cases getting the same exact blue background is as easy with one strobe temp as it is with the other, if you consider that a person's foreground temp is a matter of personal preference.

Since the topic is up, does anyone know of a maker for an UW color card or greybalance card?
I use a "Digital Gray Card" marketed by Robin Meyers Imaging.
Their website is located at: http://rmimaging.com/
The card I use is located on this webpage: Gray Card Webpage
This gray card is made of a plastic material that is waterproof and has the pigment impregnated all the way through the plastic base. The card comes in two sizes, the 4x6 inch size being the one I use underwater (both salt and fresh waters). You can sand any nicks and gouges out of it and not affect the colour of the gray card. The price is nice too -- just $14.95 U.S.
I drilled a ¼ inch hole in one of the corners of it and attached it to a retractable lanyard on my BC. Works great, although it is a little difficult to get a good white balance with it when using a 10.5mm wide angle lens.
For anyone residing in Canada and wishing to purchase one, you can order one (or two as I did) through "Headshots" located in Toronto. Their webpage is located here: Headshots Rentals
I'm not affiliated with "Robin Meyers Imaging" or "Headshots Rentals" – I'm just a happy customer and pleased with the gray card.

It seems to me that none of this really matters as long as you like the result. I would note that since we humans prefer sunny days to overcast weather, and we are quite happy to spend hours under low-colour-temperature tungsten lighting, we tend to be more comfortable with a warmer result. So when shooting with the Mega Color that gives an option of colour temperatures to its output, I invariably go for the warmest setting.
Of course the flash does not affect background lighting colour temperature but the overall colour temperature setting of the digital process does!
The funny thing is that underwater, you can get away with murder. It's only flesh tones or the reproduction of a specific colour (as in a packshot) that reveals how badly we can get it wrong. My new catch-phrase? It's art, not reality!
I buy my own photographic kit. Diving equipment manufacturers and diving services suppliers get even-handed treatment from me whether they choose to advertise in the publications I write for or not. All the equipment I get on loan is returned as soon as it is finished with. Did you know you can now get Diver Mag as an iPad/Android app?
Posted 27 September 2006 - 02:18 AM
To make a striking image it is often preferable to differentiate the subject from its background using colour contrast between the two. One way to do this is to render the blue water background as black, so that only the subject has any colour at all.
When the blue water background is rendered as blue, the warmer the strobe colour (lower temp in Kelvin) the greater the colour contrast will be. This contrast is largely unaffected by choice of white balance, though most people will set the white balance to the temperature of the strobe, either at time of capture, or later at the RAW conversion stage or during similar post processing for those using JPG.
Having spent last week in Cayman trying to maximise this colour contrast, it seems a good way to approach the issue of strobe temps.

Disable Webcam AutoPlay in iOS App That Uses Webview and HTML
Presupuesto $10-30 USD
I have a homebrew app which uses a webview to access a simple HTML page that accesses several live webcam (traffic) feeds. The webcams do not start playing until the user taps on the video thumbnail. Before iOS 10, it would load great with just a thumbnail image of the video. Once you tapped it, the video would begin which is how I want it to act. After iOS 10, it automatically attempts to start all the video feeds at once without any user intervention. I do not want the feeds to autostart. I would like someone to take a peek at my code and disable the autoplay for the "TrafficCam" tab in my iphone and ipad views. If you access the very same HTML directly from safari on that same device, the page loads fine and does NOT autostart the video feeds so I know the HTML is ok. This should be a very simple fix in which I cannot find. :-(

Only when the producers finally catch on and go, ''Now wait just a minute!'' will the Goths peel off their wigs and scrape off their makeup to reveal two married accountants.I say right on!

Carlos Tevez is the latest high-profile footballer to be placed on the Premier League's naughty step, after the Manchester City striker pleaded guilty to a series of driving offences at Macclesfield Magistrates' Court on Wednesday morning.
The 29-year-old escaped a prison sentence, but was ordered to carry out 250 hours of community service over the next 12 months, for driving while disqualified and without insurance.
Tevez was banned from driving for a further six months and slapped with a £1,145 fine, which shouldn't hurt his wallet too much, given that the Argentine star earns a reported £196,000-a-week in wages at the Etihad Stadium.
Sadly, it's an all too familiar story, hearing about English football's elite sportsmen finding themselves in trouble with the law - highlighted by the fact that Tevez is the second Premier League player to appear at the same court in the past few weeks.
Everton goalkeeper Jan Mucha was charged with the same offence last month, after being pulled over by police while banned. The Slovakian claimed he didn't realise he was disqualified because he doesn't read his own post. His excuse failed to convince the prosecution, and Mucha was also sentenced to 25 hours community service.
In light of Tevez's Magistrates' hearing, GiveMeFootball has put together a list of five of the best Premier League bad boys.

Wearing a UM hat with the word Swag draped across the front of it, Oakland Park Northeast wide receiver Stacy Coley -- the top player in Broward County -- announced he was signing a National Letter of Intent with the University of Miami Wednesday.
Rated the fourth-best player at his position by ESPN, Coley said he chose the Hurricanes over schools such as Florida State and South Florida after sitting down with his family and talking it out on Sunday.
"I thought it was just beneficial for me and my family," he said. "Just stay home. I just hope I have the same success in high school and just help the U out with a national championship."
Coley, a two-time member of The Miami Herald All-Broward first team, finished with 29 catches for 513 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. He runs a 4.57 40-yard dash.
The 6-1, 173-pounder said he appreciated the fans he had in current Canes Tracy Howard and Deon Bush and was looking forward to playing with them rather than against them like he did in high school. Coaching changes at FSU did not affect his decision, he said.
His high school coach, Donnell Bennett, is a former UM fullback.
"It feels good," said Coley, who was crying during the ceremony. "I relieved a big stress off my shoulder and I can be an average kid again."

CRESTVIEW � Six gopher tortoises have relocated from the city's waste water treatment plant on Arena Road to Nokuse Plantation in Freeport following a $6 million water system overhaul.
CRESTVIEW � Six gopher tortoises have relocated from the city's waste water treatment plant on Arena Road to Nokuse Plantation in Freeport following a $6 million water system overhaul.
Three females, two males and one juvenile gopher tortoise were relocated to the 51,000-acre plantation to make room for an ongoing expansion at the plant.
"We are adding five rapid infiltration basins� to keep up with the city�s growth, Jayne Swift, the plant�s project manager, said.
The basins will help the plant manage treated water as it is released back into the soil and into Florida's aquifer, which further purifies it.
Morgan Contracting in Baker is adding the basins as part of the renovations to the CH2MHILL-operated facility. Other additions include new pumps and a new chlorine basin that also treats the water. The project should be finished by summer 2014.
"We signed a contract with the city in February (of this year)," said Mike Tucker, the contractor�s project manager. "Part of that contract was bringing on a biologist for the relocation of the tortoises."
"They originally thought there was only three nesting burrows, but there were 10," Tucker said.
Morgan Contracting contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which suggested Nokuse Plantation in Freeport.
The plantation specializes in preserving, restoring and conserving Florida's eco-system by maintaining natural woodlands.
A team from the plantation found the tortoise burrows while surveying the land. Members brought a backhoe loader and shovels to retrieve the reptiles.
"We are going to keep them in an enclosed space for about a year," plantation director Matt Aresco said.
Later, the enclosure will be removed, allowing the gophers to roam freely within the plantation.
In Florida, gopher tortoises are "threatened" on the state's endangered species list.
State law protects gopher tortoises and their burrows, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife website, myfwc.com.
Property owners must receive the FWC�s permission to capture and relocate the fragile reptiles.

Important Inmate Phone System Changes
As a result of a recent telephone vendor contract award, friends and family of inmates housed at all DPSCS correctional facilities should be aware of some minor disruptions in service in the coming weeks. With the introduction of this new vendor we hope to provide you improved inmate telephone services at the same, and in some cases, lower costs. This Advanced Pay brochure from the new vendor has been distributed to the inmate population and may be useful for you as well.
The actual change-over for (name of facility) will happen (date from spreadsheet). A six business day transitional period will take place (dates from spreadsheet called black-out), during which time inmates will only be able to make collect calls as no debit or pre-paid calls will be permitted. If no collect call account is set-up, the inmate will be unable to make calls that week. During the transitional period dates, inmates will also not be able to submit telephone vouchers.
Although the previous vendor Securus will transfer inmate balances (purchases made by inmates) during the cut-over period to the new vendor Global Tel* Link, family members will have to contact Securus directly for refunds on purchases they (family members) made from Securus in the past. If you currently have an account with Securus you may be receiving a call further explaining your options from the new vendor in the near future.
We apologize for any inconvenience this vendor transfer may cause in trying to reach a loved one at a DPSCS facility and thank you for your cooperation.
