T-Mobile Backpedals on AWS iPhone Comments
T-Mobile USA today issued a statement concerning comments made by CTO Neville Ray regarding the evolution of wireless chips. He was quoted as saying, "The next chipset will support AWS. The challenge that existed in the past will go away." His comments led many to believe that the next version of the iPhone will support AWS spectrum, which is needed for the iPhone to operate on T-Mobile's 3G network. T-Mobile said, however, "Mr. Ray was speaking generally to chipset advancements available to all phone manufacturers. T-Mobile has no knowledge of Apple's product roadmap and our position on the iPhone has not changed."
Fujitsu Targeting Late 2012, Early 2013 for US Market Entry
"North America is our priority market," said Fujitsu Senior Executive Vice President Hideyuki Saso in an interview with AllThingsD. Fujitsu sells Android and Windows Phone smartphones in Japan, but has yet to tackle the US market. It is looking at how to enter the market in such a way that it isn't just another player. "If we try to do [the] same thing as our competitors, it is going to be tough," said Saso. "We would like to identify the right way of entering the North American market that would make use of our technology and expertise to make a steady landing. We don't want to be just another mobile phone. We want to be special." Some of the features available on Fujitsu's smartphones in Japan include water proof models that are very thin.

In an interview with The Verge, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha said, "What we call the next generation of Webtop will have more capabilities," adding that the switch to Android 4.0 will lead to a smoother user experience. Webtop allows Motorola phones to connect to a lapdock device and use a full browser and Android applications on the larger screen. The first generation supports Mozilla's Firefox browser instead of Chrome. Jha also revealed that only 9% of Webtop-enabled device owners are using the Webtop application. Jha didn't say when the next version of Webtop will be available.

Motorola Plans for Fewer Phones This Year
Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha today indicated that the company hopes to make fewer phones during 2012 in order to conserve marketing resources. In an interview with The Verge, Jha also said that Motorola needs to be able to differentiate the Motorola experience when compared to the competition. "Verizon and AT&T don't want seven stock ICS devices on their shelves. The vast majority of the changes we make to the OS are to meet the requirements that carriers have." In short, Motorola will continue to offer its own user experience on Android devices, but there will be fewer of them this year.
Hands On with the LG Spectrum for Verizon
The Spectrum is LG's new flagship 4G LTE phone from Verizon. The display is huge and HD, yet it's thinner than last year's Revolution. How does it shape up?
Lenovo Hopes to Crack U.S. Smartphone Market
Lenovo today indicated that it wants to sell smartphones in the U.S., according to an interview with Reuters. David Schmoock, Lenovo's North American chief, said, "I will spend time over the next couple of years building out the relationship with the mobile providers — AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, etc. You have to build out that network first, then that allows you to put products on the shelf." Schmook doesn't see Lenovo hitting U.S. retail stores imminently, but he is working to make it happen. Lenovo recently announced a new Android-based smartphone called LePhone 2 that will be sold in its home market of China.
Nokia Looking to Offer Each Network Its Own WP7 Flagship
Nokia want to sell an exclusive Windows Phone device with each of the major U.S. network operators, said Nokia's U.S. chief Chris Weber in an interview with Fierce Wireless. "The most important thing we can do in the U.S. market is bring exclusive devices and opportunities to each of the carriers. Doing that exclusivity and giving them something unique allows us to get great carrier support. I think it's critical for us to be successful in the U.S. That's the way you get great carrier support." Weber did not indicate that Nokia has concrete plans to offer such devices beyond those already for sale with AT&T and T-Mobile USA. Nokia hopes to win over first-time smartphone buyers, too, with inexpensive WP7 smartphones to get them hooked on the WP7 experience and the Nokia brand. Nokia plans to market its U.S. devices heavily in the coming months.
Hands On with the Huawei Mercury

Sprint's LTE to Launch On 1900MHz Only
All of the Long Term Evolution 4G devices released by Sprint this year will use only its 1900MHz spectrum, said Sprint spokesperson David Owen in an interview with Phone Scoop. Right now, Sprint doesn't have access to Clearwire's spectrum nor LightSquared's spectrum for LTE services, so it will repurpose its 1900MHz spectrum assets to handle both its current CDMA voice/data network and future LTE data network. Sprint plans to launch the LTE network, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and LG Viper at approximately the same time, but couldn't commit to a specific date. Sprint believes its LTE roll-out will be complete by the end of 2013, though Owen wouldn't say how Clearwire and LightSquared's spectrum and LTE networks will play a role in that final 4G picture. Clearwire will not, however, expand its WiMax network beyond what it already covers and will eventually transition to LTE. Owen said that Sprint's goal is to offer smartphones and mobile hotspots that provide good battery life and fast internet speeds, no matter what network technology is being used. The new tri-network (CDMA, WiMAX, LTE) mobile hotspot offers that for data-hungry customers. Owen said that tri-network phones are cost prohibitive, so it will offer CDMA/WiMax and CDMA/LTE devices at the same time as it completes its transition from WiMax to LTE 4G networking technologies.
Hands-On: LG Viper for Sprint
Sprint showed off one of its first LTE 4G smartphones at CES, the LG Viper. We took a quick look at it and here are our thoughts.
T-Mobile: We're Going It Alone, and We're OK With That
T-Mobile USA CEO Philip Humm today said that there are no new acquisition deals on the table and that the company is prepared to move forward without merging or being acquired by a competitor. Speaking to AllThingsD, Humm said, "There is no second AT&T deal around. Now it's really a question about restarting the business. We will give you more details probably by the end of the quarter. We are right now finalizing our plans." T-Mobile USA recently lost its bid to sell itself to AT&T. T-Mobile USA gained valuable spectrum and a roaming deal with AT&T has part of the break-up, but the company still needs to raise capital. Parent company Deutsche Telekom scored $3 billion in cash from AT&T, but it's not clear if it will reinvest that money in developing T-Mobile USA further.
Qualcomm Atheros' Wi-Fi Display Eases Content Sharing Pains
Qualcomm Atheros today announced new Wi-Fi Display services, a Wi-Fi Direct-based technology that allows users of consumer electronics to share the content on the screen of one device with the screen of another nearby device. For example, smartphones or tablet users will be able to share content (web pages, media, etc.) from their device to a nearby television set or computer without the need for a network or internet connection. Wi-Fi Display technology uses the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless bands, and offers non-overlapping channels for "relatively interference-free transmission of latency-sensitive media content." The Wi-Fi Display standard uses Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) for security to keep content protected. Qualcomm Atheros' Wi-Fi Display solutions will initially support Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Windows 7 and Windows 8. The technology will sample to vendors later this year, and is expected to reach consumer devices by the end of the second quarter.

Monday, November 24
In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. During the last eight years of his life, while living in New York City, he turns 40. Looking for more purpose, he and his lover Scott Smith relocate to San Francisco, where they found a small business, Castro Camera, in the heart of a working-class neighborhood. Then, with support from Scott and from new friends like young activist Cleve Jones, Milk plunges headfirst into the choppy waters of politics. Bolstering his public profile with humor, Milk's actions speak even louder than his gift-of-gab words. When Milk is elected supervisor for the newly zoned District 5, he tries to coordinate his efforts with those of another newly elected supervisor, Dan White. But as White and Milk's political agendas increasingly diverge, their personal destinies tragically converge.

Posted by Editoress on 02/16/10
A hard day of training for 25 track cyclists at the Forest City Velodrome in London on Monday afternoon. A special thank you to the Ontario Cycling Association and Ontario Trillium Foundation for making possible the series of 12 Camps leading up to the summer road season and National Track Championships in 2010.
The 138m Velodrome continues to develop track athletes for competition on both the road and track. The skills portion of the camp on Monday centred around balance - riding as slowly as possible to make other riders have to unclip. During the drill even the quickest riders at the FCV were having trouble going slow enough to match the balance of young 15 year old racer Daniel McKenzie-Picot. Daniel was able to just crawl along the blue line - making many of the elite and masters have to unclip.
The riders were put through several very tough skill building exercises - including a 1,200m drill that many riders had a hard time figuring out how to even out their speed, strength and endurance. In the end all the riders were able to conserve enough energy to 'light up' their speed toward the final segment of the camp.
The riders finished the camp off with a race strategy skills session that included a team effort to work over their fellow competitors…. In the end all the riders were able to come up with a strategy to out fox their opponents.
Next in the series of development camps at the FCV will be this weekend, Saturday February 20th "Madison introduction and skills". There is room for 20 riders. Cadets and Juniors are invited to come early and take advantage of the Youth training session at 3pm on Saturday.

"A New High For Low! No other author could ever write quite like Neil Low does. Another dynamic advance in crime fiction!" ~Don Roff, Author of Zombies: A Record of the Year of Infection.
"No one can write about cops-and-robbers-like a real police officer. When they are good, they are very, very good, and Captain Neil Low
good as he magically captures another era in his books."
~ Author Ann Rule
Deadly Attraction
, Neil Low offers up another fine mystery with master sleuths Vera Deward and Alan Stewart scoping out corrupt, World War II era Seattle. Each successive chapter draws a bead on the reader, fires round after round of adrenaline-packed action and mystique, and delivers a final kill shot with unbearable, cliffhanging suspense. Low's mastery of prose and detective-like attention to detail makes this deadly yarn a unique addition to the hard-boiled genre."

Hello there Guest,
To view this post you must either register and log in. Thank you!
I bought some new shrimp and a few weeks later I'm seeing hydra all over the tank. I've not had hydra in my tanks in over 9 years so I figure they came on the shrimp. So given shrimp are pretty sensitive to stuff, what can I use to get rid of the hydra? These are cherry shrimp and are in a 5 gal tank with baby plecos.

The son of an Iraqi immigrant convicted of killing his wife said he remains conflicted on the high-profile case that ended in San Diego earlier this week with a guilty verdict, adding that he still loves his father.
"It's not that I disagree with what the decision was, it's just I hate what the decision was itself. I hate the verdict," Mohammed Al-Himidi told NBC 7 San Diego Friday in an exclusive interview.
Mohammed is the oldest son of Kassim Al-Himidi, 49. On Thursday, Al-Himidi was found guilty of the 2012 murder of his wife, Shaima Alawadi, 32.
The verdict sparked several outbursts in the courtroom, including Mohammed screaming, "This is bulls---! This is f---ing bulls---! My dad is innocent. He was tried unfairly."
Mohammed said his post-verdict outburst was a mix of every emotion he's ever had about the case involving his parents, finally reaching a boiling point.
"I had an emotional breakdown, really," he told NBC 7. "A million thoughts were going through my head. Basically, the judge [had] just said, 'Your dad is going to be locked up for life.' My dad has been there throughout my whole life."
On Mar. 21, 2012, Mohammed's mother was brutally beaten in a bloody attack at their family's home in El Cajon. She suffered critical brain injuries and died three days later. At the time, Mohammed was only 15 years old.
At first, the case was investigated as a hate crime due to a handwritten note found at the crime scene, which read: "This is my country, go back to yours, terrorist."
Ultimately, El Cajon police determined it wasn't a hate crime but rather a crime of domestic violence. Investigators arrested Al-Himidi in connection with the killing in November 2012.
Mohammed said he's been conflicted with the case from the beginning. Now, with the guilty verdict, it's even harder. He said he still feels like he's stuck in the middle when it comes to what he believes.
"My dad, I personally thought, was innocent coming into the trial. I didn't know what to believe, honestly. It's the law versus your loyalty for your dad," he explained. "It's kind of like [being] in the middle. When I say I love my dad still, I'm just thinking, 'Damn, I don't know if my mom is going to be cool with that.' It's hard. It's in the middle. I love my mom, but I also love my dad."
While Mohammed said he loved his mother deeply, he worries that he's now lost his father, too.
The teen said he still doesn't know if he believes his dad is really guilty.
"I wasn't actually there to see what happened. That's between God and my mom. My mom was there – she knows who did it. Maybe my dad did it, maybe he didn't," he said. "Even [if] my dad did that, I still have love for him. It's still my dad."
Mohammed said the verdict is especially difficult to swallow because his father never had a history of violence in the family.
"My dad was never like that, never ever like that. My dad was never aggressive, never physical, never any of that stuff. I mean, it's so confusing," he said.
The teenager said he and his younger brother, Ali, have differing opinions when it comes to whether or not their father committed the crime. Still, those opinions won't pit the brothers against one another.
"My brother and I are best friends. We're really close. We don't agree with each other, but that's not going to ruin our brotherhood," said Mohammed, adding that he respects the opinions of all of his siblings on this case, but stands by his own as well.
"I lost my parents, but I still have my siblings. I've trying to hold it together. There's a lot going on," he added.
Despite a verdict in place and Al-Himidi awaiting his sentencing on May 15, Mohammed said closure for the family still seems elusive at this point.
"Right now, to be honest with you, I don't really feel a sense of closure. I just feel a sense of the family being even more separated," he said.
Mohammed currently lives with relatives in Texas. He's graduating from high school in May and said he plans to pursue a career in counseling, focusing on children and teens who have experienced this same type of trauma.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The nationally-ranked No. 11 MIT men's track and field team competed in a pair of invitational events over the weekend, with the majority of the runners heading across the Charles River to Boston University for the Terrier Classic while most of the field event athletes staying at home for the first of two Coed Invites to be held at the Shobrys and Aronson track.
Sophomore teammate Tyler Singer-Clark (Falmouth, Mass.) had a full afternoon, running the 200/400m double and also leading off Tech's 4x400 relay. Singer-Clark won his section of the 400 meters with a time of 50.27, good for 28th overall. He followed that up with a 22.56 time in the 200.
Junior Josh Duncavage (Austin, Texas) also ran the 200 meters, winning his section with a time of 22.44 seconds and sophomore Michael DuPlessis (Wantagh, N.Y.) had a personal-best time of 22.75 seconds.
Freshman Nick Diamantoni (Belle Mead, N.J.) and sophomore Jacob Jurewicz (Gurnee, Ill.) ran solid races in the 400, with Diamantoni winning his section in 50.56 seconds. Jurewicz posted a time of 51.66.
Junior Patrick Marx (Grand Rapids, Minn.) battled a pair of freshmen in the 800, competing against Chadd Kiggins (Xenia, Ohio) and Sam Parker (Menlo Park, Calif.). The rookies got the best of the experienced Marx, with Kiggins taking first among the three Tech runners in 1:54.79. Parker was close behind at 1:54.96 while Marx finished in 1:55.14.
Singer-Clark, Diamantoni, Jurewicz and Duncavage then came back in the 4x400 relay, finishing with the faster time of MIT's two entries at 3:21.69. Kiggins, Parker, Marx and sophomore Brian Gager (Rye, N.Y.) made up the Cardinal and Gray's other 1600 relay, as the four primarily 800-meter runners recorded a solid time of 3:23.59.
Freshman Allen Leung (Arcadia, Calif.) and senior Daniel Harper (Naperville, Ill.) each had personal-bests in the 5000 meters. Leung, running in the slower, unseeded section had a time of 14:58.00 while Harper finished in 14:50.81.
Back at home, freshman John Thomas (Somerville, Mass.) cleared 6-3.25 feet in the high jump and freshman Sheldon Trotman (Gaithersburg, Md.) hit 45-0.25 feet in the triple jump.
Next Saturday, MIT will make the short trip up to Harvard University to compete in the Beanpot Classic, along with three Division I squads. Tech will take on the host Crimson, as well as Boston University and Northeastern University.

Cool Stuff We Spied Around the Web This Week
Posted by
Becky |
View all posts by Becky
Leave a comment!
What caught your attention on the web this week? Certainly there was plenty of Sochi not-so-funny terrible conditions fall over the internet. Here are five things that made me say wow this week.
1. Swimming on the Metro. The proposals for the abandoned Metro stations in Paris was my favorite link this week. Can you imagine if this:
Magically transformed into this?
What a beautiful and unique subterranean spot for getting some laps in.
Photos via NK Paris and RATP/ 20 Minutes; story via Messy Nessy Chic
2. Sochi, oh Sochi. I don't know where to start, but this graphic certainly lightened the mood for me. Yes, I'm 12, potty humor gets me every time. I have to wonder about the graphic artist who had to sit and illustrate things like "don't put a fishing pole in the toilet," or "don't do your business in the 'upper deck.'" Is the one on the bottom right some sort of Olympic athlete-caliber calisthenic? That position looks tougher than eight-angle pose:
3. Thomas Wold adds his magic to Pinterest's offices. I was so excited to see ingenious designer Thomas Wold's installation at Pinterest get attention from The Wall Street Journal online as well as at Fast Company. Though I would like to state for the record that I asked him for an interview about it months ago but the man was too busy building more magical things. Way to go Thomas!
4. Other people's Facebook Movies (or even your own). JUST KIDDING! Seriously Facebook, when we X it out as "annoying or unintesting," stop putting them in our news feeds! Sheesh.
5. Vintage NASA photographs. There's something so cool about these, I want to blow one or two up and design a room around them. I think it would be really neat for a kid's room as well:
What kinds of cool things did you catch on the internet this week? Please let us know in the Comments section.
Also, we've been trying our hand at Instagram (I know, we're WAY behind the times on that one!) Please feel free to give us any suggestions on how we can be better Instagrammers, we could use the help. Have a great weekend everyone!

Ed Sheeran Reveals Who Taylor Swift Should Date Next + Opens Up About His New Girlfriendby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Ed Sheeran may have some biting words to say on his upcoming album about an ex who wronged him, but he is perfectly content with the new lady in his life. Opening up to Us Weekly about his new girlfriend, the British crooner gushed that she was "nice" and "really cool."
While Sheeran did not give her name, he revealed that his girlfriend is Greek and "works for a chef," and, because of her nationality, her cooking speciality is "anything Greek." While millions of his beloved Sheerios would kill to have him sing to them in private, that is one thing the 'Sing' crooner won't do for his GF. Shocking, right?
Telling the magazine that that would be "creepy and weird," Sheeran further explained his decision to not serenade his lady.
"If someone did that to you," he said, "Like legitimately, if someone sat you down like, 'hey baby, I'll come play some' you'd be a bit awkward about it, right?" We wouldn't be, that's for sure!
But something he would do? Introduce her to his pals, including Taylor Swift.
"We went for dinner in London," Sheeran told the magazine. "She likes her."
Speaking of Taylor Swift, the redheaded singer already has a new guy already picked out for his friend. When asked who he thought she should date next, Sheeran replied, "Orlando Bloom." Of course, Bloom — who split from his wife, Miranda Kerr — was also recently spotted hanging out with Swift's bestie Selena Gomez.
In other Ed Sheeran news, he and Hilary Duff (who previously revealed they would be collaborating together) hit the studio together last night. Check out the photo of the two below, post-recording session.

PopCrush Mini-Mix 17: Featuring Miley Cyrus, Lorde + More [LISTEN]by Maggie Malach | PopCrush
This week's PopCrush Mini-Mix kicks off with a 'Boom!' — literally!
The latest installment is helmed by Charli XCX's bombastic 'Boom Clap.' The song, off of 'The Fault in Our Stars' soundtrack, has an infectious beat and an even catchier chorus. It's the perfect track to launch your weekend (and this week's Mini-Mix!).
The upbeat track transitions into another song that celebrates the feeling of falling head-over-heels: Justin Timberlake's 'Not a Bad Thing.' The song showcases Justin's smooth vocals, but also provides a poppy beat that has us totally jamming.
Lorde's 'Tennis Court' slows things down a bit. The rhythmic track is every bit as catchy as her breakout hit, 'Royals,' and is the perfect way to switch up the mix before it transitions into a pop classic: Miley Cyrus' 'Party in the U.S.A.'
Miley's hit is from a pre-'Bangerz' era, but there's no denying that it's still one of her best songs. With July in full swing, there's no better track for celebrating the warm weather.
This week's Mini-Mix closes out with an uptempo version of Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me.' The singer's breakout hit pumps us up every time we hear it. What's not to love? His vocals are powerful, and the message is simple, but poignant.
Check out the track list below, and listen to the mix above!
Charlie XCX, 'Boom Clap'
Justin Timberlake, 'Not a Bad Thing'
Lorde, 'Tennis Court'
Miley Cyrus, 'Party in the U.S.A.'
Sam Smith, 'Stay With Me'

Here are some more DCPI numbers: 087-06 1797 MACE WINDU SQUAD 19.99
I've heard a lot of theories Ryan. Like anything from repacked Jedi that helped him lay the smack down to Palpatine or Clones in a special color... Purple?Unkown for now though.
I don't know - the word "squadron" is throwing me off. If the set were to contain Jedi, it would be called "Mace Windu and Crew" (or Posse).You get the idea.I think this set will contain clone troopers - I'm seeing a trend this year with Battle Packs.
.Wouldn't it be cool if they turned out to Mace with a squad of clone commandos, Scorch and his buddies?

Trillion dollar coin: Heads or tails?
Democrats aren't writing off suggestions that President Barack Obama skip another round of negotiations with congressional Republicans and simply raise the debt ceiling himself.
Whether it's minting a $1 trillion coin or citing the 14th Amendment, Democrats say there's an upside in sidestepping contentious talks with the GOP that could end up with budget cuts to popular social programs.
Story Continued Below
"If I were president, I'd use the 14th Amendment, which says that the debt of the United States will always be paid," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Sunday on "Face the Nation." "I would just go do it. But the Congress has incurred much of this debt. And so what are you saying, 'We incurred it, but we're not going to pay it?'"
Pelosi has declined to comment on the proposal to mint a $1 trillion coin, which would create more funds instead of requiring Congress to authorize more borrowing.
So far, the White House hasn't weighed in on the $1 trillion coin. During the last debt ceiling debate, Obama dismissed evoking the 14th Amendment as an option.
"I have talked to my lawyers," Obama said at the time. "They are not persuaded that that is a winning argument."
A petition on the White House website encouraging the use of the $1 trillion coin has received more than 6,500 signatures.
Obama has said he won't negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling, but some Republicans who felt they got little out of the negotiations over the fiscal cliff are gearing up for a fight. House conservatives want to see deeper cuts in government spending and some are already discussing shutting down government to achieve their goals.
The debt ceiling is apt to be an economic stability balancing act. While the fiscal cliff had investors on edge, economists have warned that a prolonged debt limit debate would most likely ruffle more feathers on Wall Street. When Standard & Poor's downgraded the U.S. credit rating in 2011, the battle over the last debt ceiling was cited as a reason.
The $1 trillion coin is receiving more support in liberal circles.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) floated the idea last week in an interview with Capital New York.
"I'm being absolutely serious," he said. "It sounds silly but it's absolutely legal. And it would normally not be proper to consider such a thing, except when you're faced with blackmail to destroy the country's economy, you have to consider things."

<- Go Back to Craftsbury Calendar of Events
The Hosmer Community Rowing Club (CommRow) will start getting their blades wet May 16 at 4:30. Like recent years, CommRowers will congregate at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center's Boathouse on Big Hosmer Pond and resume the same Monday thru Wednesday schedule as last year. Please bear in mind these sessions will run concurrent with Craftsbury Sculling Camp's afternoon free row.
As in previous years, we strongly encourage people of all levels to join CommRow - though not necessarily all sessions. Newcomers of any level are invited to join us on Tuesday, May 31, when we can be prepared to provide additional instruction. Moving forward from that start date, people with less than a year of experience should attend the Wednesday session. Meanwhile, intermediate and advanced scullers may attend any or all of the three weekly sessions. Beginners will be able to scull on Tuesdays or Wednesdays by special arrangement only.
2017 Schedule
Monday - 4:30-5:30pm (Experienced Rowers Only)
Tuesday - 4:30-5:30pm (Experienced Rowers Only)
Wednesday - 4:30-6:00pm
We ask that all CommRow participants complete a waiver (parents will have to do this for those under 18), and be certain their Outdoor Center membership is current. As a reminder, membership for Craftsbury and Albany residents is complimentary, but we ask that you complete the paperwork. Club sessions are covered by a program fee of $150/person, or if you're a beginner attending Wednesdays only, a program fee of $50/person. Center members can come try their first three sessions FREE. If you elect to continue, please make payment of your fee prior to the next session.
Scullers will learn primarily in the single. A participant's first session in the program will feature a flip and recovery experience, so bring a bathing suit on Day One! After instruction, the flip experience gives you the chance to demonstrate you can get back into a boat or swim it to shore in the event of capsize.
Before your first session, we ask that you first stop at the office to complete a waiver if you haven't downloaded and completed one this year. Please contact the Center at 802-586-7767 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Saying 'I'm sorry' in the context of a cop's career
Officers get into situations that may prompt an apology, but simply saying 'sorry' does not mean the situation should result in a civil tort
As was discussed in my column in July, there are correlations between the medical profession and law enforcement relative to saying "I'm sorry."
Doctors and cops share the potential to cause harm to an individual that may be impetus to say "sorry." Harm may be in the form of reduced quality of life for an individual, or an individual might die as a result of human error.
Officers make mistakes. Those mistakes may happen in a tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving life-or-death situation. In these instances, officers will likely be protected under Graham v. Connor.
In Favor of 'Sorry'
Numerous courts, subsequent to Graham, have found that officers acted appropriately based on the information at hand in real time. Based on the officers' training and experience, they believed themselves to be facing a life-threatening action.
For example, in the case of the officer who shot and killed a teenager who was playing laser tag, the teenager had pointed a weapon with a laser at a police officer.
There is also the video of officers in Louisiana who engage a suspect who points what they believe is a gun at officers. The officers then justifiably use lethal force. It is later learned that the deceased pointed a cell phone in a manner to make the officers think that he was in possession of a firearm.
What would be wrong with the chief saying to both the community and family — in either or both of these cases — "We're sorry this happened"?
The legal test and standards for use of force — up to and including lethal force — are clearly there to provide the officer(s) with the ability to lawfully and judiciously apply force. The review of the use of force occurs by a reasonable officer, from an objectively reasonable standard, based on the information that was known at the time the force was used. Not in retrospect.
It should be noted that if an officer acted lawfully, even if they apologize for what happened, the courts should not view the apology as mitigating any of the seminal holdings of Graham or Garner.
Moreover, state laws tend to protect doctors when they apologize — by logical extension, law enforcement should be covered similarly.
Barriers in Law Enforcement
Law enforcement officers by nature are suspicious of anything that causes change or a new way of thinking. In the police academy, rookies are told by trainers that you can be sued for anything; training officers continue to perpetuate this myth. More importantly, some use of force trainers provide poor advice on the legal holdings that protect officers in use of force situations. To be sure, officers can be sued for anything, but the likelihood of plaintiffs collecting any damages is low.
Administrators, managers, police chiefs, legal counsel, and insurers will not want officers to apologize for actions that caused harm.
Defense attorneys, and union reps, will not want officers to apologize, because it could potentially be used to formally punish an officer for violating a policy.
Police officials may view apologies as an admission of responsibility.
But I argue that you can express regret about a situation and still not have violated any law, policy, or legal holding.
More Research Needed
To my knowledge, no department, organization, or police group has allowed a researcher to conduct empirical research into this topic. Moreover, the likelihood of getting a good sample is slim. Perhaps a particularly progressive department might allow this research, but this opens up the department to outside review — and we know that organizations do not always greet this idea with glee.
Law enforcement is a dynamic profession. Officers work in a wide array of organizations, locations, and communities, but there are some constants. One of those constants is that officers will interact with the public. During some of those interactions, officers might use force.
"A ship in port is safe; but that is not what ships are built for." Rear Admiral Grace Hopper said that about the Navy, but it applies to police work as well. Officers are not built to hang out at the station. Officers are expected to interact with the public, and interact with people who intend to commit harm to society.
We need to review ways to limit harm, and mitigate harm. One of those ways could be to potentially say these simple words: "I am sorry."

DOHA (Reuters) - Syria's Muslim Brotherhood finally swung behind a new opposition unity deal in Qatar, but some Syrians fear it will work in the new entity to replicate the influence it wields in the narrower Syrian National Council.
The SNC, dominated by the Qatar-backed Brotherhood, agreed under intense U.S. and Qatari pressure on Sunday to become a minority player in a wider body, the Syrian National Coalition.
The new body will try to win international recognition as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people and become the main address for political, humanitarian and military support for the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad.
One diplomat on the sidelines of the Doha talks said the Brotherhood, with affiliates in Egypt and Tunisia that have risen to power during the Arab uprisings of the past two years, had been the "swing block" that could make or break the deal.
Sensing the political wind - as an army of U.S. and other diplomats deployed in the Qatari hotels where the week of talks took place - the Brotherhood endorsed the new structure.
Opposition to the SNC being subsumed in the new coalition appeared to come largely from secular figures such as its new leader, Christian activist George Sabra.
"The Brotherhood will not monopolize power in the political arena and in managing the coming period," said Farouk Tayfour, a senior Brotherhood figure and deputy SNC leader.
"They will be a part of the overall Syrian framework of rebuilding our country and healing the wounds of Assad family rule."
As in Egypt in the first months after the fall of veteran ruler Hosni Mubarak last year, the Brotherhood tried to play down its influence on the SNC to avoid scaring Western backers.
But accusations emerged that it controlled the body through influence over independent Islamists and was funneling funds to favored groups inside Syria to build up its presence further.
With the SNC expected to take around two fifths of the 60 or so seats in the new National Coalition, the Brotherhood's influence is set on paper at least to diminish.
The coalition's first elected head is Mouaz Alkhatib, a popular Islamist preacher from Damascus.
Khatib, 50, has been a regular guest on Qatar's Al Jazeera satellite channel, used by the influential Gulf Arab state to promote Brotherhood-linked Islamists and help facilitate U.S. acceptance of the Islamist network.
Hassan Hassan, a Syrian commentator based in the United Arab Emirates, said he believed Khatib was a true independent, not under Brotherhood sway, but the jury was still out on whether the group would be able to dominate the new National Coalition.
"This is the million dollar question," he said. "When the United States presented this new plan, the Brotherhood knew it could not insist on the survival of the SNC, so they started to build a place for themselves in the coalition - and succeeded."
Many prominent figures resigned from the SNC in recent months complaining that Islamists were sidelining minorities and women. Another three left in Doha, including SNC founder Adib Shishakly, angered over the failure of women to make it onto the SNC's new general secretariat elected last week.
The Brotherhood, whose Syria branch was founded in 1936, says it is simply an effective organizer, and some opposition figures conceded that much of the grumbling reflects personal grudges from individuals lacking popularity.
"They said it was becoming a Brotherhood council. But honestly I think it was because they were not elected (to the secretariat)," one member said of last week's walk-outs.
Still, respected figures in the new coalition remained mistrustful of the Islamists, whatever their public utterances.
"Right now the Brotherhood is not becoming more open (to other groups). They've said in the past that they would be, but I haven't seen it yet," said leftist dissident Haitham al-Maleh. "They must be pushed to become more open."
Secularists are suspicious of the Islamists' position on women and non-Muslims in an uprising marred by sectarianism.
Assad has drawn support from Christians, Druze, Shi'ites and his own minority Alawites, who fear what the Sunni majority under Islamist influence could have in store for them.
Al Qaeda fighters from Iraq and jihadists from other countries have piled into Syria to join the fight against a ruler they consider infidel because he is an Alawite.
Many Sunni preachers use anti-Alawite rhetoric, spurning the Muslim credentials of a sect distantly linked to Shi'ite Islam.
The Brotherhood clashed with Assad's father Hafez in 1982, when thousands were killed in a failed uprising. It then worked assiduously to build up grassroots influence through mosques and religious schools, despite being a banned organization.
Syria, which once prided itself as a bastion of secular Arab nationalism, has become religiously conservative.
The Brotherhood has distanced itself from jihadi groups and sectarianism on the ground in Syria, and opposition figures in Doha tried generally to play down Western fears of radicalism.
A rebel military commander dismissed concerns over the Al Nusra Front, a Salafi militia which has carried out suicide attacks, describing them merely as "organized Islamists".
Hassan said opponents remain concerned that, with Qatari support, the Brotherhood could still convince Western powers that it is as influential and powerful on the ground as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, a premise he questioned.
"We all of a sudden have a revolution in Syria, and a lot of groups presented themselves as the one with great influence in society," he said. "But almost 70 percent of the country is outside the reach of the Muslim Brotherhood, if you consider religious minorities, the Kurds and the tribes."

Latest News
In reversal, Obama opens door to prosecuting top Bush aides
WASHINGTON — Under pressure, President Barack Obama reversed statements from his own top White House aides and opened the door Tuesday to prosecuting Bush administration officials who approved harsh interrogation techniques of suspected terrorists.
Obama repeated his stand that CIA officers should be immune from criminal charges for their work interrogating suspects using techniques such as waterboarding, which critics call torture, so long as the interrogators followed guidelines written by senior Bush administration legal officials.
He said, however, that he'd leave it to Attorney General Eric Holder to decide whether Bush administration officials should face criminal charges for approving the use of such practices.
"For those who carried out some of these operations within the four corners of legal opinions or guidance that had been provided from the White House, I do not think it's appropriate for them to be prosecuted," Obama told reporters in the Oval Office.
"With respect to those who formulated those legal decisions, I would say that that is going to be more of a decision for the attorney general within the parameters of various laws, and I don't want to prejudge that. I think that there are a host of very complicated issues involved there."
Obama also said that he's open to an independent or bipartisan investigation of the interrogations.
His statement that his administration might prosecute members of the Bush administration caught Washington by surprise, directly contradicting comments made two days before by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and raising questions about why Obama abruptly changed course.
On Sunday, Emanuel told ABC News that Obama would extend his immunity from prosecution beyond CIA officers to policymakers. He said the president believed "those who devised policy . . . should not be prosecuted either . . . . It's not a time to use our energy and our time in looking back and any sense of anger and retribution."
Yet by Monday afternoon, as Obama visited the CIA to assure officers there that they wouldn't be prosecuted, he was already facing questions from inside his own administration about how far he could or should go, as well as loud complaints from friends and allies in Congress and beyond.
Inside, some administration officials raised concerns that Obama had overstepped proper legal boundaries by unilaterally declaring that the Justice Department would take no action.
At his confirmation hearing in January, Holder told the Senate he didn't think the president had the power to immunize anyone from being prosecuted for acts of torture.
"No one is above the law," Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee. "There are obligations that we have as a result of treaties that we have signed, obligations, obviously, in the Constitution. Where Congress has passed a law, it is the obligation of the president, or the commander-in-chief, to follow those laws."
In addition, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, fired off a terse letter Monday afternoon urging Obama to withhold public comments on prosecutions until her committee can finish an investigation of the interrogations. That inquiry is expected to take another six to eight months, she said.
On Tuesday, the liberal group MoveOn.org launched a campaign to gather signatures on petitions urging Holder to appoint a special prosecutor.
"So far there's been no accountability for the architects of Bush's torture program," the group said in an e-mail to supporters.
At the same time, the liberal Web site DailyKos.com, posted a long blog item Tuesday complaining that the Obama administration wouldn't prosecute Bush administration officials "unless bludgeoned into doing it."
Republicans mocked the switch by the White House and suggested Obama caved to political pressure.
"The president's chief of staff just said on Sunday on one of the Sunday shows that we were going to look forward and not backwards. The president's apparent contradiction today is a bit surprising," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate Republican leader.
"It sounds like the ACLU has his ear," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
White House aides refused to explain the switch from Emanuel's statements to Obama's, and Press Secretary Robert Gibbs repeatedly sidestepped questions about it.
Many Democrats welcomed the possibility of criminal prosecutions.
"I am extremely pleased," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
"Horrible abuses were committed in the name of the American people, and we cannot look the other way, or just 'move on.' The final decision will be up to the attorney general and the president, but I urge the Justice Department to take this matter very seriously," said Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., suggested that Holder name "an independent person or persons, such as a retired judge" to investigate.
The Justice Department already is reviewing the conduct of former department lawyers who helped craft the Bush administration's justification for interrogation practices.
"The Department's Office of Professional Responsibility is conducting an ongoing review into (Office of Legal Counsel) memos on interrogation techniques to determine whether they were consistent with the professional standards that apply to department attorneys," said Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler.
"We have no comment at this time on the outcome of that review or on other possible investigations."
On Monday, former Vice President Dick Cheney argued that the interrogations were productive and necessary to stop terrorist attacks. He urged the Obama administration to declassify and release additional memos that he said documented helpful information that was drawn out in the interrogations.

According to recent AIIM research, 25% of respondents said that SharePoint doesn't fulfill their detailed requirements. Additionally, 43% struggle with expanding SharePoint for more business processes, and 40% have difficulty building SP's "workflow with forms" capabilities. Given that SharePoint is a platform, not an application, it's no wonder. And as with all platforms, SharePoint needs other solutions built on top of it so that businesses can take full advantage of what SharePoint has to offer.
We'll explore some more of AIIM's latest research on the state of SharePoint, conducted in early 2015. We'll discuss the shift of SharePoint to Office 365 in the cloud, and explore solutions to address workflow and forms. There's still a strong commitment to making SharePoint work – 75% of respondents say this. Check out this on-demand webinar to learn how K2 provides answers for these challenges and more, all from a cloud-based solution that is easy to use and requires no code, making it ideal for both technical and non-technical users.

This portrait taken in 2003 for the cover of American Photograph magazine pays tribute to Jean-Auguste Ingres' famous 19th-century painting La Grande Adalisque. Michael was originally supposed to shoot Julianne in a couture dress, but was so inspired by her flawless skin he switched directions. To this day, there is much debate over which is sexier. My two cents: who cares?
This is lit with one (count it, one) light.
Camera: Pentax 67 II with 90mm lens and Kodak Portra 160 film, set on a tripod 10 feet back. Shot at 1/30, f8, ISO 100.
Lighting: The key light is a large octabank at f8 set eight feet to camera left and slightly in front. Michael added an extra diffuser to soften the light even more.
Comments: The final select here was taken moments before the scraggly tree caught on fire (the prop stylist had positioned it too close to the oil lamp). Which then fell into the blue curtain, which set ablaze. No one was hurt and the fire was quickly extinguished, but many happy onlookers ogled in joy as a naked Julianne Moore ran outside the studio. "Wow, she really does have amazing skin," was heard more than once.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Tim Russert's personal physician says medics tried to save the NBC anchor shortly after he collapsed at work.
Dr. Michael Newman said medics tried to revive Tim Russert several times before he died.
Dr. Michael Newman told CNN's Larry King that a defibrillator, a heart-shocking device, was used to try to save Russert. "A resuscitation was begun almost immediately," he said.
Russert, a mainstay of television journalism's political talk as the host of "Meet the Press," died of a heart attack after collapsing at NBC's Washington bureau Friday. He was 58.
Newman appeared on "Larry King Live" on Monday, along with Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiac thoracic surgeon, and Dr. P.K. Shah, King's heart doctor. Watch Russert's son greet guests at wake »
Newman described Russert as a model patient: "He complied with almost everything that was asked of him."
The following is an edited version of the show's transcript:
Newman: Tim had a cardiac arrest. It was related to an acute -- presumably acute dissection, rupturing plaque that's causing a blockage of a coronary artery. He had a heart attack -- a fatal arrhythmia. Watch panel discuss if Russert's death was preventable »
King: Did we know he had heart disease?
Newman: Tim was known to have coronary artery disease, and it was being treated with respect to management of his risk factors.
King: Was he on medication? Did he exercise? Did he watch what he ate?
Newman: Tim was on medication. I'd like to say, I'm glad you mentioned exercise and watching what we eat. The foundation of management of heart disease and every medical condition, really, starts with lifestyle modification. You know, a healthy lifestyle, and you'll have good health, and you'll certainly have a healthy heart. ...
Tim appreciated that. Yes, he exercised. He was on his Aerodyne bicycle. See a timeline of Russert's career »
King: Dr. Oz, from what Dr. Newman said, could it have been prevented?
Oz: You can never tell for sure. And the reality is a big wake-up call. And it's the question that Tim Russert would be asking right now: What are the odds that I could have done something different myself?
Let's examine it for a second. Of the 450,000 people a year who die of heart attacks in this country, probably half of them never knew they were at risk of a heart attack.
It's because the heart doesn't really have pain fibers. In fact, the only reason you ever feel any pain when you're having a heart attack is because the nerves in the heart cross other nerves -- from your chin, your arm or from the chest and the spinal column. And they short-circuit each other out. And that creates this referred pain that in cardiology and cardiosurgery we recognize to be angina.
The other reality -- and this is a big wake-up call for a lot of Americans, as well -- is that a lot of the plaques that we have are not flow limiting. And by that I mean they don't cause a limitation on the amount of blood that courses through the veins that go to our heart. ...
King: Dr. Shah has brought along a defibrillator. Right? Dr. Newman, it was not used, is that correct?
Newman: That's not correct.
King: OK, it was used.
Newman: NBC had a defibrillator. A resuscitation was begun almost immediately. NBC had an EAD [external automated defibrillator] on site, and they were preparing to use it. At the same moment, the DC EMS, emergency medical squad, arrived, and they immediately defibrillated Tim. He had no heart rhythm. They defibrillated him. His heart was beating then in a ventricular -- fine ventricular fib, and then it deteriorated. They shocked him again. Actually, he was defibrillated three times before his arrival at Sibley Memorial Hospital. Remembering Tim Russert »
King: Why do you think it didn't work in the Russert case?
Shah: There are several possibilities. The longer the delay between the time collapse occurs and you begin defibrillation, the less the success of defibrillation. That's number one. Number two, if you're a very big-sized individual and have a large heart, the larger the heart, the harder it is to get a successful defibrillation. The bigger the heart, the more likely you are to go back into fibrillation.
King: Dr. Newman, was Tim Russert a good patient?
Newman: Tim was a great patient. Tim Russert as a patient was the Tim Russert that we all know. He complied with almost everything that was asked of him. He was well-informed, asked good questions. Tim was a good patient. Are there things all of us as patients could be better at? Sure. But Tim was a good patient.
King: Do you ever think, Dr. Newman, in retrospect, I could have done more? Should have done more?
Newman: You know, as physicians, we always hope that we can change people's lives, that we can make them feel better, live longer, that we can intervene, and that's what our role is. Unfortunately, in many instances, our hopes are not fulfilled. Absolutely, I wish Tim was alive and with us today. ... And ... patients die of heart disease or cancer; we all struggle with the fact there are limits to what we can do.
