First bonspiel a success
Pugwash - Pugwash received rave reviews for its first Invitational Bonspiel held last Friday to Saturday Northumberland Community Curling Club.
Pugwash is a great place to hold a Bonspiel. The ice is absolutely beautiful, weight sensitive and allows for a really controlled game. The ice lighting is very good, with just the right amount of brightness. John Greer, 2nd on the Ed MacIntosh team from Amherst said.
Rhonda Perry, also from Amherst, and the mate on Stephanie Boudreaus team agreed saying, The volunteers are absolutely amazing; all our needs were met. I really like the lounge. The choice of colours is amazing.
Sixteen teams with a total of 64 players battled out for top standings in three divisions.
Draws were organized with the first games beginning at 1 p.m. Friday and continuing until 1:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Every team played a minimum of three 8-end games with the finalists playing four games to determine first place standings in A, B, and C divisions.
Division A winners and over-all winners of the tournament were the Ed MacIntosh team from Amherst with Ernie Smith, mate, John Greer, second and Rodger Ackles lead.
The close runner-up in A Division was the NCCC team of Lionel Prokopow with mate, David Campbell, second Curtis Shanks and lead Peter Mortenson.
The B division was won by the Myles Trenholm team from Sackville with Ken Oulton skipping, Mike Gillespie as second and Don MacIntyle as lead. Myles Thenholm played mate.
The runner-up of the B Division was the John Marshall team from The Bluenose rink, New Glasgow.
The C Division was won by the Doug Oulton team from Sackville, N.B.
Runner-up of C Division was NCCC Lou White with mate, John Mills, second, Brian Gordon and lead, Dave McGrath.
As the result of voting by all the weekend curlers, a special award was given for the most sportsmanlike player. The winner of this award was Janet Canfield of Malagash.
The hard work of a small but dedicated Bonspiel Committee made the weekend come together successfully. Thanks go out to Alice Power, Norval Benjamin, Claude Hudson, Vic Matheson, Peter Mortenson and Lionel Prokopow. In addition, approximately sixty volunteers worked to make the weekend run smoothly. Now that we know that we can do it, this will be an annual event, for sure, said Vic Matheson.
Local sponsors included Jost Vineyards, The Pugwash Co-Op and various members of NCCC, who provided prizes for all divisions.

"Kiss Kiss" was released as the second single from Chris Brown's second studio album Exclusive, after the moderately successful "Wall to Wall". It has been described as an upbeat dance track with a bouncy beat and has a moderate hip-hop tempo of 140 beats per minute. In an interview with MTV News, Chris called "Kiss Kiss":
A real chanting record.
"Kiss Kiss" debuted at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the issue dated September 29, 2007. However, in its sixth week in the charts, it rose to claim the second spot. The song earned a Grammy nomination for "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration" but lost out to Rihanna's "Umbrella".

I dove in with wild abandon, got some inspiration, and went to the 24 hour Winco at 1 AM to kill some time and buy some groceries for the week. I'm a night dweller which works for crock potting.
I sauteed some of the veggies first. Not necessary, but I had access to a stove and I liked the added depth of flavor when I used to do this with meat, so I thought, why not? I dumped this and the next set of ingredients into a crock lined with a Reynolds Slow Cooker Bag (I love these, and I know they aren't really totally green, so sue me). I set the cooker on low and fell into bed at 4 AM and fell out of it 8 hours later. I should have added the bay leaf before I went to sleep, but I didn't have any until the next day. It all worked anyway. I woke up, added everything except the last 2 ingredients, let it cook another couple of hours, and added water to taste (not much).

In the north of the city is Duisburg's most original attraction, the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord, until 1985 a giant steelworks belonging to the Thyssen group. Since its decommissioning, nature has reclaimed large parts of the two-square-kilometre site, with rose gardens planted in former ore hoppers and trees growing up and through rusty blast furnaces, one of which can be climbed for a vertigo-inducing – though perfectly safe – closer look. The atmosphere is eerie, almost post-apocalyptic, yet it works, both as a park and as an awe-inspiring piece of industrial archeology. It's also a clubbing venue and activity centre, with alpine climbing gardens and Europe's largest artificial diving centre housed in a flooded gasometer. At weekends a stunning light installation turns it into pure science-fiction after dark.

Picks Column: Early Thanksgiving For CFB Fans
I could never be a cornerback.
First, though I did once hold a school record for the 1,600-meter relay at a Division I program, I don't have fluid hips and good change of direction. I'm more of an upright, powerful runner.
The bigger reason, though, is because I don't have the "forget it and move on" or "live in the moment" traits. Whether it's an hour before a Thanksgiving feast, the night before Christmas or my first conference championship in college, I've always struggled with too much adrenaline and anxiety.
Nothing's better, though, than the first reference, turkey in the oven, vegetables and desserts in various pots on the stove and table and butter melting my grandmother's homemade bread just before the table is set.
Nothing's worse, either.
But this feels like football's equivalent of a holiday feast. So while we still have to wait hours for the most anticipated Thursday night ever in college football, let me step aside and get right to the picks.
Thursday Special
No. 5 Baylor 42, No. 11 Oklahoma 27
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET
This game is intriguing because we all want to see how Baylor's offense operates against a legitimate team. The Bears have scored at least 69 points in five of seven games, but it's tough to gauge their true ability when the opponents are Wofford and Louisiana-Monroe.
This isn't a good matchup for the Sooners, though. Baylor's scheme is designed to use the entire field. Much is made of the stretch vertical routes to receivers who line up wide of the numbers, but that unclogs the middle for the confident (cocky?) Lache Seastrunk. The junior averages 9.1 yards per carry and has gone for more than 100 yards in six games despite never carrying more than 18 times.
Oklahoma's defense, meanwhile, allowed 255 rushing yards to Texas, which isn't as big of a threat in the passing game or as efficient on the ground as Baylor.
Even more curious, Baylor's defense is sixth in the nation in scoring, but allowed more than 33 points per game against West Virginia and Kansas State. The Sooners are a bit bruised at this point in the season and don't have the talent on offense to keep Bryce Petty and the Bears on the sideline.
No. 2 Oregon 38, No. 6 Stanford 24
Kickoff: 9 p.m. ET (Stanford, Calif.)
Which Cardinal defense will show Saturday night? The one that allowed at least 28 points to Army, Arizona State and Washington or the one that held UCLA and Oregon State to a combined 22?
If Stanford can maintain its recent play on that side of the ball, it may keep the game competitive into the fourth quarter, but don't expect anything like last year's 17-14 upset in Eugene, Ore. Outside of Ty Montgomery and Tyler Gaffney, the Cardinal skill players don't come close to matching Oregon's stable, which is much larger. One of them, running back De'Anthony Thomas, already predicted his team will score more than 40. Rather than hoping the Cardinal again shut down the Ducks, Stanford fans should hope the defense keeps Oregon between 31 and 35 points.
The Ducks' defense, too, is much improved and could be the best Oregon has trotted onto the field in the Chip Kelly/Mark Helfrich era. Kevin Hogan is an above-average quarterback in the Pac-12, but he was a little overrated early in the year and cannot carry Stanford's offense in big games. Stanford will be in trouble fast if it falls behind and has to chase the Ducks.
The best hope is to get an early lead or hang close and hope to force Marcus Mariota into a mistake (which is unlikely, considering he still hasn't thrown an interception this season).
No. 1 Alabama 31, No. 10 LSU 24
Kickoff: 8 p.m. ET (Tuscaloosa, Ala.)
This is the best team Alabama will face all year outside a potential BCS championship game. Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel hung 42 on Alabama, but the Tide held a huge advantage in many other areas and controlled the game despite trailing 14-0 early and allowing a late touchdown. In between, they outscored the Aggies, 49-21.
The Tide hold no such advantage against the best all-around LSU team I've seen. The Tigers' talent may be a half-notch below some of Les Miles' best teams, but it's spread more evenly. LSU has Odell Beckham Jr., a more talented version of Alabama's dynamic returner/receiver Christion Jones. He's not Mike Evans, but he presents a different element for the Crimson Tide secondary. And don't forget Jarvis Landry and his 58 catches and eight touchdowns — perhaps the best second option in the country. Oh, and a stable of backs headed by Jeremy Hill, who easily would be a 1,000-yard back if he hadn't missed the opener due to a suspension.
On the other side, LSU's defense hasn't been as consistent, but held No. 7 Auburn to 21 points and are a young, talented bunch. Bama's one big edge, which is a reversal from recent seasons in this matchup, is on special teams.
Other than Julio Jones, this game typically hasn't featured a big-time, All-American type receiver. But the 2013 matchup won't approximate the 9-6 overtime slugfest a few years ago. LSU has two NFL-caliber receivers. Bama, too, is much more skilled on the outside led by a surging Amari Cooper. Each team still can run the ball, but much of the attention will be on quarterbacks Zach Mettenberger and AJ McCarron, both of whom can push the ball downfield if the defense crowds the line.
I give Alabama a slight edge due to more consistent play, but LSU should care the heck out of Tide fans.
Under The Radar
UCF 35, Houston 28
Kickoff: 7 p.m. ET (Orlando, Fla.)
No one would've guessed this game, not one involving Louisville, would determine the inaugural American Athletic Conference champion, but here we are. One of these teams will play in a BCS bowl. (Fun fact: Houston and UCF both are ranked in the Top Five nationally in turnover margin.)
Like the three other games featured in this column, Central Florida is a comfortable favorite in Vegas, though no one would be surprised if Houston made it a game. Most college football fans know of Blake Bortles and Storm Johnson for the Knights, but what of this year's Cougars?
Houston's lone loss came by a point to BYU. They've beaten a good Rice team on a neutral field and crushed Rutgers, 49-14. Leave it to Texas to come up with a good freshman quarterback: John O'Korn has thrown for more yards (2,121) and touchdowns (22) than Bortles. Top target Deontay Greenberry has 62 catches for 948 yards and nine touchdowns. But Houston's offense, ranked 12th in the nation in scoring, faces the 18th-ranked scoring defense in UCF.
The Cougars won't be able to stop Bortles and Johnson, but the Knights will slow O'Korn and company just enough.
The Rest
Florida 21, Vanderbilt 13
Minnesota 35, Penn State 27
Miami 21, Virginia Tech 20
UCLA 37, Arizona 20
West Virginia 35, Texas 31
Wisconsin 28, BYU 24
TCU 28, Iowa State 17
No. 3 Florida State 45, Wake Forest 10
Texas Tech 31, Kansas State 27
Michigan 28, Nebraska 21
San Jose State 35, San Diego State 24

By Jason Bernstein
If Stephen McNair and his Newark East Side teammates needed any motivation during the Newark Public Schools Tournament, all they would have to do is think back to a year earlier.
A year removed from being upset in the semifinals, the crown of best in Newark returns to East Side as it defeated Newark Central, 58-41, in the Newark Public Schools Tournament final yesterday at Essex County College in Newark.
The win marked the third title in four seasons for East Side (7-0), ranked No. 15 in The Star-Ledger Top 20.
"Last year we didn't live up to expectations," McNair said. "So this year, we knew we had to come out and we had to show that we're the best team in Newark and that we can compete with any team in the state."
Ismael Sanogo, who was named the tournament's MVP, admitted that East Side was looking to erase the memory of how its tournament run ended last season.
"We came in with a grudge, we played angry," Sanogo said . "All throughout the tournament, we played angry. That drove everything. That empowered us to play harder. It meant everything to us."
That anger was channeled to yesterday's final in swift fashion. McNair gave East Side a 10-0 lead on a 3-pointer with 3:52 left in the first quarter.
Keywon Savage got Central (5-3) on the board with a 3-pointer, but East Side responded with eight unanswered points and never looked back.
Six different players scored as it took a 37-14 lead into the intermission.
"I feel like everybody's scoring," forward Abdul Lewis said. "We're very well balanced so it's hard to stop us."
Sanogo, who finished with 14 points and nine rebounds, gave East Side its biggest lead of the day with a put-back to make it 46-16 midway through the third quarter. McNair and William Joyce added 10 points apiece.
Lewis added 14 rebounds and six points as he, along with Sanogo and Joyce, controlled the glass and allowed McNair, Jamar Gilbert, Ahmad Harrison and Rashan Lynn to be aggressive on the perimeter.
"It's very important for us to be aggressive on the perimeter so we can force their guards to turn the ball over," McNair said. "We also know that we have Ismael Sanogo, Abdul Lewis and Will Joyce to block shots and get the ball in transition."
Nasir Farmer led Central with 18 points. Savage added eight points and seven rebounds.

Washington County arrest leads to K2 stash in Parkersburg
PARKERSBURG – The arrest of a Parkersburg man Friday by Washington County authorities led to a search warrant being issued for his south Parkersburg residence, where additional drugs were allegedly found.
Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks said an extensive operation between the Wood County ACE (Aggressive Crime Enforcement) unit and the Washington County Major Crimes Task Force resulted in the arrest of Robert "Rob" Oakley III, 34, of Parkersburg and the seizure of approximately 11 pounds of K2, or synthetic marijuana.
Oakley was charged Friday with one count of selling a drug not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, a fifth-degree felony, Mincks said. He was being held in the Washington County Jail this weekend in lieu of bond pending an appearance in Marietta Municipal Court on Monday, he said.
Oakley allegedly sold approximately one pound of K2 to undercover agents of the MCTF in the Marietta area. He was later stopped on Ohio 7 between Belpre and Marietta, Mincks said. Information obtained at the scene and other facts led to the execution of the search warrant in south Parkersburg.
Mincks said Oakley admitted to selling K2 and indicated he had made $40,000 in the last six months. A 2013 Chevy Camaro and a 2004 Dodge Ram Truck were seized by law enforcement agents.
The investigation was made possible by the close cooperation of the Wood County ACE Unit and the Major Crimes Task Force, Mincks said. The investigation is continuing and other arrests are possible, Mincks said.
Parkersburg Police Chief Joe Martin also praised the level of cooperation displayed by all of the agencies involved in Friday's arrest.
Martin said members of the Parkersburg Police Department and Wood County Sheriff's Department executed the warrant at Oakley's residence Friday afternoon at 4114 14th Ave., off Broadway Avenue, in Parkersburg.
"We executed the search warrant here at this location where they recovered several grams and pounds of synthetic K2, synthetic marijuana, and we're in the process now of collecting the evidence at the scene and furthering the investigation here in West Virginia," Martin said.
He expected the investigation at the 14th Avenue home to continue Friday and through the weekend. Martin said some of the ACE unit investigators would be contacting the U.S. Attorney's Office in Charleston to pursue possible federal charges based on the amount of drugs that were recovered.
"We'll confer with Wood County Prosecutor Jason Wharton, but at this point we're pretty confident that the federal prosecutors will want to adopt this case and prosecute it in Charleston," Martin said.
"It's a pretty significant hit as far as synthetic drugs are concerned, so there's still more work to be done," he said.
Martin said Oakley is the only individual under investigation at this time, although that could change based on information developed during the investigation. Investigators will be looking into money laundering and financial aspects of the case with the possibility of recovering funds and seizing assets, he said.
Based on the search conducted Friday at the residence, Martin said it appeared Oakley had purchased the necessary components at local stores and then made the K2 himself at the home. The process to make K2 is less complex and much less dangerous than that involved with making methamphetamines, he said.
"Everything we know at this point is that all of the manufacturing was completed inside this residence here on 14th Avenue," Martin said.
"It's an unusual find for us; we haven't seen much of this at this level locally," he said.

Google's first release of its official RSS client is an excellent start, but there's plenty of room for improvement.
For starters, Google Reader does an admirable job of displaying your Reader feeds on your Android device. Especially if you're getting up in years and could use some reading glasses; the standard font is super-huge. The app's light color scheme is also easy on the eyes, and its ability to browse by individual feeds or categories is a welcome approach.
Add in multiple Google account support, controls for reading all entries vs. only those that are unread, direct access to starred items and a super-simple integration of finding items shared by those you follow, and Reader starts to look like a worthy competitor to its marketplace cousins.
That said, the current version does have a fatal flaw for heavy RSS users: no ability to force the app to store its messaging cache on your SD card means your phone's onboard storage will quickly be overwhelmed. We'll probably see Google address this and other issues in an update.
That said, if your RSS feed list is relatively small (like mine), you probably won't encounter any show-stopping issues.
Be sure to head into the settings, and turn on the ability to use your volume key to scroll between items. You may also press and hold on folders of content or items to rename them, unsubscribe, and more. The "share" feature makes sending interesting content to specific people or groups of followers no sweat at all.

Severe Weather Sweeps Across Great Plains, At Least Two People Hurt; Teens Get Stuck in Flooded Dallas Creek
Severe storms rolled through the Plains Thursday, damaging homes, flooding roads and leaving at least two people injured.
"Seventy-three reports of severe weather were received by the Storm Prediction Center Thursday," said weather.com senior meteorologist Jon Erdman. "An 'average' May severe weather day from 2002 to 2011 produced 172 severe weather reports."
A tornado warning was posted for the northeast side of Dallas at 3:34 p.m. CDT, but it was unclear whether an actual tornado had formed. In parts of Dallas, winds reached up to 70 mph Thursday afternoon, which tore holes in warehouse roofs and peeled away the front wall of a church.

CBS Dallas reports one mobile home was destroyed and two more were damaged in Joshua.
"I don't have information about the injuries other than at least one injury is very, very, serious," Jamie Moore, Johnson County Emergency Management Office, told CBS Dallas.
According to the Associated Press, a mother and a child were also injured. Emergency management officials believe high winds, and not a tornado, are likely to blame. Large trees were also down across the area, which caused traffic problems and power outages.
The storms were the second round of dangerous weather to pulse through the Metroplex Thursday. In the morning, rescue crews pulled five teenagers out of creek in Dallas. Heavy rain, as much as 5 inches in some areas, sent streams and creeks rising, and the teenagers were trapped. All were rescued, but they were taken to a hospital.
(WATCH: What In the World Is a Firenado?)
In Minnesota, severe storms may have spawned several tornadoes Thursday evening, but no major damage or injuries were reported.
Tornadoes were reported near St. James and Lake Crystal Thursday afternoon. The National Weather Service says a tornado also was confirmed near Madelia. Another tornado was reported around 8 p.m. near Gaylord, but the weather service say no damage or injuries are reported.
Heavy rain also was reported. Nicollet in south-central Minnesota received 2.2 inches of rain Thursday evening. Some street flooding was reported in Burnsville south of Minneapolis.
No injuries or deaths have been reported after more than a half-foot of rain inundated western Arkansas in a 24-hour period.
(MORE: Dallas Teens Get Caught in Flooded Creek)
The National Weather Service says Mena received 5.68 inches of rain in a four-hour period Thursday with a daily total of more than 7 inches. The weather service says the relentless downpour caused creeks and streams to overflow and flooding over roads.
Several people had to be rescued from the high waters, and flash flood emergencies were issued until the rainfall ended Thursday night.
The weather service says a weak tornado may have touched down southwest of Russellville. Trees were uprooted and at least one mobile home was flipped over.
In South Dakota, the National Weather Service says golf ball-sized hail was reported near Sinai, while hail as big as baseballs fell near Urbandale.

Gretsch Guitars at Labor Day Weekend D.C. Beatles Festival
Posted: August 31, 2010
Gretsch Guitars will be at the "Abbey Road on the River" festival in the Washington, D.C. area as Beatlemania invades the nation's capital once again over the 2010 Labor Day weekend.
The event's promoters bill it as "the world's largest Beatles-inspired music festival." Abbey Road on the River takes place from Thursday, Sept. 2 to Sunday, Sept. 5 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center hotel in National Harbor, Md. Gretsch is co-sponsoring the event.
Abbey Road on the River will feature a near-constant lineup of bands, guest speakers, films, contests and other special events, all of which is staged to celebrate the still-thriving legacy of the Beatles.
At the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, the Gretsch Guitars booth will be open from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. starting Friday, Sept. 3, with Gretsch girl Kim Falcon on hand for photos and to sign autographs. From 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 4 to 1 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 5, Gretsch Guitars presents Hal Bruce and the Hard Dazed Knights in concert, playing 214 Beatles songs as a single continuous medley with no breaks or intermission.
From 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 5, festival-going Gretsch enthusiasts can enjoy a personal appearance by Fred Gretsch III and Gretsch product specialist Joe Carducci. They'll present the Gretsch Guitars Experience, sharing behind-the-scenes stories about Gretsch history—which includes the Beatles—and a multimedia presentation of the sights and sounds of Gretsch.
Abbey Road on the River takes place twice annually; in Louisville, Ky., over Memorial Day weekend and in National Harbor, Md. (Washington, D.C.) over Labor Day weekend. Attracting more than 30,000 fans of all ages per event, Abbey Road on the River is the largest Beatles festival in the United States, founded in Cleveland in 2002 and held at its present locations since 2005.

Katy Perry Shines on Letterman
Posted: August 25, 2010
California Gurl Katy Perry performed her new album title track and latest single, "Teenage Dream," last night on Late Show with David Letterman. It's easy to lose one's luster when standing next to this sensational pop-rock star, but Perry's guitarists held their own thanks to their gorgeous Gretsch guitars.
Letterman also interviewed Perry, discussing her engagement with Russell Brand, how she went from singing gospel music to showing "side boob" in her recent photo shoot with Rolling Stone and what her minister parents think of it all.
Watch the complete interview here.

Nick Wiggins Wears His Gretsch Bass
Posted: August 24, 2010
Aiden and Me Vs Myself bassist Nick Wiggins is so pleased with his new G6119B Broadkaster Bass that he decided to wear it, and nothing else.
In actuality, Wiggins explained via email to our Gretsch artist relations rep that he was "in the woods at the studio this summer when he lost his mind."
Taking this short jaybird walk helped clear his mind and all is now well in Wiggins' world as he continues recording new material.
In the meantime, check out Aiden's most recent release, 2010 live album From Hell…With Love. Also, watch Me Vs. Myself's debut music video for "Promising."

Soundgarden is Back!
Posted: August 9, 2010
Chris Cornell with his G6128T Duo Jet at Lollapalooza!
Check out more photos from the Soundgarden set at the Lollapalooza Fest photostream!
Reunited grunge godfathers Soundgarden played to their largest audience since their breakup 13 years ago with Sunday night's headlining set at Lollapalooza, which also drew its biggest audience ever with more than 240,000 attendees.
Soundgarden lived up to their hype with a set list that included several classics from the '90s, such as "Black Hole Sun" and "Rusty Cage."
"Soundgarden exceeded expectations with a tight, nostalgia-bound set that echoed 1992," says the Chicago Tribune. "Singer Chris Cornell's long mane returned, his voice sounded tremendous and the band's sludge rhythms thundered with menace."
Soundgarden will release a career-retrospective, Telephantasm, on Sept. 28. Its only unreleased track, "Black Rain," is expected to hit the radio waves on Aug. 10.

Columbia, Mo. — Justin Pugh said he never saw the 17-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Nassib to Alec Lemon with 20 seconds to play Saturday night at Missouri's Faurot Field.
But the Syracuse University junior offensive tackle heard it.
"I didn't even see (Lemon) cross the goal line. I just heard the crowd go silent," Pugh said of the TD that gave the Orange a 31-27 comeback win over the SEC's Missouri Tigers.
The victory capped a wild 21-point fourth quarter that saw the Orange come back twice to tie the game, and then finally win it in a never-say-die effort.
"Right now we're a team that's a very happy football team," said SU coach Doug Marrone, who watched his team fight back in a loud, hostile environment to raise its record to 6-5 (4-2 Big East) and become bowl eligible for the second time in his four seasons in charge.
The win was the first for SU against a Southeastern Conference foe since it defeated the Auburn Tigers in 2001. It also takes the "must win" tag off of Friday's season finale at Temple.
Lemon's second TD catch — the one that silenced 63,045 fans who turned out on Senior Night hoping to watch their Tigers (5-6) win a sixth game to earn bowl eligibility, was his 12th of the game. The senior, who caught nine balls for 176 yards in last week's 45-26 demolition of Louisville, outdid that effort with a 244-yard performance Saturday.
Senior Marcus Sales caught eight passes for 85 yards to complement Lemon's effort.
» Boxscore
» Big East scoreboard
Quarterback Ryan Nassib, held to 113 yards passing in the first half, ended up completing 26 of 40 passes for 385 yards and two TDs.
"It was fun," said the senior. "We have fun silencing crowds."
It nearly didn't happen.
Nassib tossed just one interception in the game, but it came with the score tied 24-24 and just 4 minutes, 24 seconds left on the game clock. It seemed to doom the Orange to another frustrating loss in a season that has seen several.
Nassib fired a quick pass over the middle to tight end Beckett Wales. The ball hit off Wales and went into the air, where Missouri cornerback Randy Ponder grabbed it and returned it to midfield.
The Tigers drove to the SU 25, where it had third-and-one. But the Orange stopped Kendial Lawrence for a three-yard loss and the Tigers settled for a 46-yard field goal from Andrew Baggett to lead 27-24 with 1:52 left.
"We fought our butts off," Marrone said. "When we've got time on the clock — the way Ryan's been playing, and our receivers ... we've got a chance."
After Jeremiah Kobena returned Baggett's kickoff to the SU 19, the Orange had a long way to go with 1:43 to play.
But Nassib and Lemon went to work.
The duo combined for four completions in six tries, and the Orange pulled off a second huge win in consecutive weeks.
"This team, it's just so awesome to see how they never give up," said SU offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. "We were all just hugging and freaking out up in the box."
After falling behind 17-3 early in the second quarter and trailing 17-10 at the half, the Orange rallied to tie the game 17-17 early in the fourth quarter when Nassib hit Lemon for a 13-yard TD with 14:14 to play.
After Missouri quarterback James Franklin, who had passed for 237 yards and a pair of TDs, went out with an injury early in the fourth quarter, the Tigers drove 79 yards on six plays behind reserve quarterback Corbin Berkstresser to regain the lead at 24-17 with 7:07 left.
The Orange answered with a seven-play, 75-yard drive to tie it at 24-24 with 5:33 left.
Nassib completed four passes for 58 yards on the drive, including a 29-yarder to Lemon that — combined with a facemask penalty on Missouri's Kenronte Walker — put SU at the Tigers' 8-yard line. Two plays later, tailback Jerome Smith ran in for the score.
Marrone had talked earlier in the week about withstanding the SEC atmosphere, and whatever Missouri might throw at the Orange early on.
While a 17-3 deficit was a little more than the coach had in mind, Marrone said the team kept its poise and kept fighting back.
"We're trying to hang in there," Marrone said of the first half, citing an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a Prince-Tyson Gulley TD plunge late in the second quarter as crucial.
"Then it becomes a battle," he said.
It was a battle that the Orange were able to win, SU defensive tackle Deon Goggins said, because it is a different team from the one that teetered on the brink of bowl eligibility last season, only to lose its final five games and come up empty.
"We're fighters," said Goggins, who had five tackles. "We're not going to stop. It's the difference between this team and last year's."

A random, nonscientific survey conducted by Gazette correspondent Robert Atkinson
The Background
The statewide smoking ban will take effect Saturday. It prohibits smoking in bars, restaurants, bowling alleys and other businesses.
The Questions
What do you know about the law? What do you like or dislike about it? What sort of reaction do you expect?
David Manocke, 30
Unemployed, Kalamazoo
"It's going to hurt the economy. If the bars aren't going, then people aren't working. We already have a bad enough problem without enough work out there anyways. If we lose the only one industry we got, and no back-up plan to replace the jobs, we're going to have some serious homelessness and money issues. It doesn't bother me personally, because I walk all the time and so I smoke while I walk. Now what are they going to say about the new (medicinal) marijuana law? Are you able to walk down the street and smoke your joint just like you can a cigarette? You can't go to a bar now, to a smoke-free place and smoke your cigarette or your joint. How are they going to deal with that? If you got a card, can you walk down the street and smoke your joint? Is it also going to come to a point where you have to have a piece of paper saying you can legally walk down the street and smoke a cigarette? That's an issue."
Patricia Bullard, 69
Collections, Kalamazoo
"It's reverse discrimination against smokers. There are a lot of smokers out there. I think it's going to have a big impact on businesses."
Mark Larmee, 32
Sound engineer, Kalamazoo
"I just think it's a shame. I don't want to sound Libertarian, but when it comes to something like that, it's just ridiculous. He (Chris Danek, owner of Fourth Coast Café) owns this building, he should be able to do whatever he wants with it. The fact that they're stepping in and telling him, 'No, he can't,' it's kind of absurd."

Science and Politics Cannot Be Separated
Jack Stilgoe, Guardian
AP Photo
A piece by Brian Cox and Robin Ince in the New Statesman has excited that corner of the Twittersphere concerned with things scientific. Their argument is that, because science has been twisted and undermined by politicians, there needs to be clearer separation between scientific truths and political values.

LEBANON — A blogger who frequently focuses on corruption in state government requested documents from Lebanon Borough School.
When the school did not respond fast enough, Mark Lagerkvist filed a lawsuit. The school did supply him with the requested documents — interim superintendent Tim O'Brien's contract resume and salary — but not within the time frame required.
Lagerkvist is editor and investigative reporter for New Jersey Watchdog, "a news web site devoted to public service journalism."
The matter was to be heard by judge Yolanda Ciccone, but the hearing was adjourned until March since Lagerkvist was given what he wanted. Now the only matter left to be resolved is whether or not the district will have to pay some legal fees on behalf of Lagerkvist, O'Brien said.
Lagerkvist did not respond to queries about what he was looking for. So far Lebanon Borough School has not been mentioned in any of the stories on the New Jersey Watchdog site.

"I contacted Clark with Stagecoach Locksmith yesterday morning, looking for locksmith services on short notice (yesterday afternoon). Clark said he would be able to do the job, and he also agreed to meet a lower price of another locksmith I talked to. He did a great job, was helpful and professional. Highly recommended, give him a try!"
– Debra L., El Cerrito (Bay Area)
"Clark stopped by our dealership and I found out that he can provide car keys without key codes, even for cars with side milled keys. I got into a bind with a customer who needed help with his locks, so I decided to give him a try. He bailed us out! Now he's our go-to guy when there's something we can't get done. Clark has machinery to cut keys the same day that might take us 2 weeks to order, and that keeps our customers happy. Clark does it all — key codes, side-mill cuts, key tumblers, and he can cut keys for 2002 models and earlier, which we can no longer do. Nine times out of 10 he can solve problems the same day. Out of all the locksmiths we've used, he's the most efficient and he's always there. Give him a try. He's a great resource!"

Make money online for free with Mass Money Makers
So, Mass Money Makers has been launched and it seems like everyone is on board.
I am sure that you have received like ten or more emails about it, but I got a sneak peek at the product, and want to give you my review.
So, what is Mass Money Makers?
It's based on a simple concept that works (and works well)…this concept is what allows us to rank on 1st page of Google within two to three weeks for just about any keyword out there…
…then we take those same rankings and get them to build massive (really massive) lists…which in turn are piped through "mass money funnels" and the end result is money.
Simple, yet very powerful. Indeed it is, and that's why they've simplified it into four core videos that are 2 to 3 hours each, where they break down everything in minute detail.
Can you get any better then that?
So in the end, I vote for Mass Money Makers. It's a great product, that really works.
If you've been looking for a way to make money online, then you really need to get in on it before the launch is completed.
When they first opened the doors, they said the software would be limited. I just got an update from them and as of now they only have 17 spots left!
I highly recommend that you get your hands on this software right now!

Boys basketball: Lake Stevens muscles its way by Oak Harbor
The Lake Stevens boys basketball team used its size and strength to power by visiting Oak Harbor 70-41 Friday, Dec. 3.
The Wildcats had no answer for the Viking's 6-6, 250-pound Gunnar Eklund who muscled his way in for 17 points and nine rebounds. Eklund's partner in the post, 6-7 Lorin Vandergrift, chipped in with 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting.
Behind the work of the two towers and slick guard Christian Gasca, the Vikings took an lead early and cruised away from the Wildcats.
Lake Stevens led after one, 17-12, then outscored Oak Harbor 42-19 in the middle periods to bury the 'Cats.
Oak Harbor was still in the game, down only 28-20 with 2:27 left in the half, before the Vikings ripped off nine straight points to finish the second quarter. Lake Stevens hit the first six points of the second half to finish a 15-0 run that finished Oak Harbor.
The Vikings shot 53 percent (26-49) for the game and outrebounded the Wildcats 32-27. Lake Stevens was equally as impressive on the defensive end, limited Oak Harbor to 30 percent (12-40) from the field and holding high-scoring Mike Washington Jr. to eight points.
The Vikings forced 15 Oak Harbor turnovers that led to 20 points, while giving up only three points off nine turnovers.
Oak Harbor coach Mike Washington Sr. said, "They (Lake Stevens) are very physical and they play great defense."
The officials allowed "a physical game," Washington Sr. said, which further complicated Oak Harbor's matchup issues.
As for handling Eklund and Vandergrift in the post, Washington Sr. said, "We tried to double them, we tried to front them. They were physically superior to us on the block."
He added, "Our kids kept fighting to the end; I really like how Matt (Burgoyne) played physically strong."
Jay Stout led the Oak Harbor scorers with 14 points, which included three 3-pointers. Kevawn Brooks added 10, Burgoyne five, Josiah Miller two and Connor Paul two.
Brooks had a team-high five rebounds.
The game was the season-opener for Lake Stevens, which qualified for the 4A state tournament last year.
Oak Harbor, now 1-2, starts league play at Lynnwood next Friday, Dec. 10, at 7:30 p.m. and then returns home Tuesday, Dec. 14, to face Shorewood at 7:30 p.m.

PHILADELPHIA -- The FBI is requesting the assistance of the public to identify the two individuals alleged to be responsible for robbing of up to 12 area banks located in Bucks and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania and Camden, Gloucester and Burlington Counties in New Jersey.
The robberies all occurred within the last three weeks, in area banks located near main roads or expressways.
There were no injuries.
On Friday, the duo had struck at the Citizens Bank located in Levittown, PA, just seven days after robbing Citizens Bank's Marlton Crossing branch in Evesham Township.

Kelvin Harmon, a 6-3, 195-pound junior wide receiver from Palmyra (N.J.), has visited the Rutgers campus several times, but Friday he got the opportunity to experience another side of the program.
Also, check out a video interview NJ.com conducted on Harmon in May.
"When we first got there, we just toured around the campus a little and got to see things we hadn't seen before," said Harmon. "We talked to the dean of academics, then I met with coach (Ralph) Friedgen, the offensive coordinator. Then I saw the practice, then I met with coach Flood."
As usual, Kyle Flood let Harmon know his importance within the 2016 class to the Rutgers staff.
"He was telling me how important I am to the 2016 class, as a receiver, and like a recruiter," said Harmon. "And he was telling me things about Rutgers and the quarterback they got from LSU (Hayden Rettig). And he was just saying how he'll be here for three more years, so if I come here my freshman year, he'll be here."
Former Rutgers wide receiver and current Philadelphia Eagle Quron Pratt, also a Palmyra product, has had an impact on Harmon.
"I was watching the practice and they were talking about Quron, a lot," said Harmon. "I got to talk to him. He was just telling me how good Rutgers is and how their practice is a pro practice. It's different."
Harmon says he is in "good standing" with Rutgers while his father, Henry, who accompanied him on his visit Friday, is also high on the school.
Harmon has visited Rutgers, Temple, South Carolina, Florida, Pitt and Maryland this summer, and says he will shut down visits, moving forward, and focus on the upcoming season.
He was slated to visit Temple Saturday, but will reschedule that visit for a later time.
So far, only Rutgers and Temple have offered, although Harmon projects as a national recruit.Follow me on Twitter @TodderickHunt

There are now a lot of choices about where and how we direct our social networking energy. Up till recently I have taken a "balanced" approach and attempted to have a regular (preferably daily) presence in around 8 main places.
I have taken some time to ponder and examining who of my friends are succeeding the most and why. I am seeing a trend towards gaining greater influence and attraction by focusing on a special place and building a supportive and responsive community there.
The 8 main places I am talking about are You Tube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linked In, Google Plus and "the bloggosphere". Blogging and commenting on and sharing others blogs.
I know that there are others of you who are dominating such places as Tumblr, Reddit, Stumble Upon, Flickr and more.
Facebook and Twitter deserve and demand some daily attention from everyone. They are "core presences". The majority of social media interaction and sharing is still happening on Facebook and Twitter but it seems to me now that just doing the two of them is not really enough. Unless perhaps you have a highly engaged Facebook page.
2 weeks ago I was lucky enough to be interviewed by my friends Simon and Victor on their weekly You Tube show. I was highly impressed by the community that they have built up there by being consistent, engaging and fun and most of all by giving value. Every video they now post from their respective channels now attracts a huge response. They also both do some Twitter, Facebook and Instagram but get nothing like the attraction that they do on You Tube.
You can get a taste of how they do things here.
Over 6,000 views on this video already whereas I would be happy to have had say 50 from my 1000 or so You Tube "subscribers". A lot of this is because although many of my 8,100 Facebook friends and subscribers have subscribed to my You Tube channel they very rarely visit You Tube. Victor and Simon promote themselves as You Tubers. They have You Tuber meetups. They actively comment on the channels and uploads of their biggest fans.
I am also pleasantly stunned by the rapid growth of the Instagram account of Tony Bennett. When I last peeked about 2 weeks ago Tony had 68,000 or so followers and was attracting about 6,000 "likes" on each pic. He is now at nearly 75,000 and is getting 7-8,000 likes. He also gets a huge amount of comments. Tony has built a massively responsive community. It takes more than his great photos to do this. He has been focused and regularly engaging. I invite you to look closely at how Tony has done this as it is duplicable. With daily energy. Not however without lessening your time in other places however. I am sure that in time the relationships that Tony has built up will cross over to Facebook, Linked In and more.
The key to this? Tony suggests that we identify our biggest "fans". "You'll need more than a bunch of people following you to climb the charts. You want fans, not followers. Fans are the ones who actively view their Instagram feeds and engage with you on a regular basis".
So rather than trying to connect more deeply with your Facebook friends on Instagram connect with people who are passionate about Instagram.
Many of you have dismissed Google Plus as a "ghost town" yet those who have stuck with it and made it their "go to" place are having massive success. Amanda Blain is a prime example. She is constantly engaging and giving information. Connecting people to each other and posting regular entertaining or thought provoking updates. I wrote more about how and why Amanda is succeeding where others have not here. Amanda was previously highly active on Twitter and Facebook but she let those go to some extent to gain the early mover advantage and thus long term domination of Google Plus.
By focusing on Instagram Tony has managed to make the "Popular Page" which of course brings even more popularity. By focusing on Google Plus Amanda has "trended" and has also been made a "recommended user". having a "balanced" presence across 8 different places will never bring you the attraction of this kind of thing. Unless you were of course some kind of celebrity to begin with.
You Tube, Instagram and Google Plus are vastly different beasts from Facebook and Twitter. They require an alternative strategy and perseverance. Maybe even a different character. We all have different "styles".
Building community and really standing out is not impossible by sticking to these "big two". Branching out to one more place and giving it your focus in 2013 is however a strategy well worth consideration.
Do you have thousands of followers on say 10 different places but very few "fans"?
Where to go? I am not sure. Pinterest is growing fast. "Old school" bloggers are still seeing growth in the communities they have built around their written content. Choose which place you enjoy the most I guess. It is meant to be fun.

product has changed......and not in a good way!
I bought this regularly as it was thick, delicious, full of strawberries and a great, lower sugar, alternative to jam. But the last jar was more like a coulis than a conserve and literally poured out of the jar! Was this a duffer or is this the new recipe? If so, too expensive for coulis.

best ever...
Love it and keep buying - great for the kids as very little sugar.

Almost like fresh strawberries on a summer's day
I would definitely recommend!

Close to homemade
I like the fact it has only 10% sugar, it's great for pancakes or spread on toast. Tastes a tiny bit sour but I prefer that to all other overly sweet jams.

tastes homemade
Absolutely delicious, with yoghurt, on toast, in scones...slightly less set than jam, this compote tastes intensely of fresh strawberries. We get through rather a lot.

Who's on fourth?
The opening-night roster is set, but there are still decisions to be made for Terry Murray and the Kings. Presuming that Brad Richardson plays a second-line role with Scott Parse (sore groin) out of the lineup, and with Kevin Westgarth as a lock for the right-wing spot, that leaves four players — winger Kyle Clifford, center/winger Trevor Lewis and centers Andrei Loktionov and Brayden Schenn — vying for two spots on the fourth line. Has Murray decided how he would like the fourth line to look on Saturday night?
"No, I haven't," Murray said. "I haven't decided that yet. I'll have an opportunity to watch, over the next few days, and it will probably come down to the day before to make a call on that."
Just two days ago, Murray indicated it was unlikely that both Loktionov and Schenn, two rookie centers, would make the opening-night roster, but there they are. I asked Murray if the fourth-line center spot would be fluid at the start of the season, giving both Loktionov and Schenn an opportunity to show what they can do…
"With a couple guys on IR, we were allowed to make that decision," Murray said. "He's had a great training camp, speaking of Loktionov. There's a nice upside to his game, and I think it's important that he has a sense that we appreciate what he has done throughout the training camp and tell him that he's on the opening-day roster. We'll go through this, over the next couple days, and then I'll get to the last day or so before the game and make a decision on who is in."
Of course, things are likely to change again when Parse returns. Parse was on the ice — after practice — for the first time since he injured his groin and foot in the preseason opener, but is expected to open the season on injured reserve. When Parse returns, it's almost certain that one of the young forwards will be dropped from the roster, but that doesn't appear imminent.
"I was surprised to see him out there at the end of practice," Murray said. "It's a good thing, but he needs some work now, if he's even close to saying, `Yeah, I want to get going.' He needs some time with the coaching staff to get himself back on top of the game."

MOBILE, Alabama -- What may be Lower Alabama's most daring encounter with reality TV comes courtesy of blue-collar comedian Larry the Cable Guy, who'll pay a visit to Irvington in Wednesday night's episode of his ongoing History channel series.
The premise of "Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy," now in its second season, is that the comedian and his crew are on "a coast-to-coast road trip hunting down all the things that make this country great."
In his particular sensibility, that includes activities such as "learning moose mating calls in Alaska, pursuing a mythical beast with the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Group, interning with the 'Naked Cowboy' in Times Square or struggling through Army sniper school." The point, according to History, is that "everyone he meets is a bona fide American original, and the surprising history he uncovers is delivered with a fun, down-home twist."
According to History, the episode airing at 8 Wednesday will feature a visit to Bubba Blackwell, "the American daredevil who has brought the insane motorcycle stunt into the 21st century." The segment was taped last June at Mobile International Speedway, in a session observed by the Press-Register. History's program notes indicate that the episode will feature Blackwell jumping an unspecified number of "full-sized semis."
The episode, titled "Redneck Extravaganzas," also will feature mud racing in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., and a segment on a martial-arts team attempting to dismantle a house in the Tampa area.
Larry the Cable guy is a stage name used by Daniel Whitney; he gained national fame in large part due to his participation in the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" along with Jeff Foxworthy and others.

text: It's hard to believe that July is almost over and in less than a month school will be starting again. This summer has also been quite different from what we were all expecting. I remember the first evacuation when we went and helped some of our friends move their stuff out of their basements to higher levels. Then coming back to our house and anxiously watching the news to see if Minot was going to flood. Thankfully the river did not go over the dike and everyone was allowed back into their homes to carry on with their lives just as they had before, or not.

Histone variant H2A.Z has a conserved role in genome stability, although it remains unclear how this is mediated. Here we demonstrate that the fission yeast Swr1 ATPase inserts H2A.Z (Pht1) into chromatin and Kat5 acetyltransferase (Mst1) acetylates it. Deletion or an unacetylatable mutation of Pht1 leads to genome instability, primarily caused by chromosome entanglement and breakage at anaphase. This leads to the loss of telomere-proximal markers, though telomere protection and repeat length are unaffected by the absence of Pht1. Strikingly, the chromosome entanglement in pht1Delta anaphase cells can be rescued by forcing chromosome condensation before anaphase onset. We show that the condensin complex, required for the maintenance of anaphase chromosome condensation, prematurely dissociates from chromatin in the absence of Pht1. This and other findings suggest an important role for H2A.Z in the architecture of anaphase chromosomes.

In a study conducted in March and April, Chief Executive magazine asked top executives to pick the best and worst states for job growth and business.
For the fourth consecutive year, California and New York anchored the bottom of the list, ranking as the worst and second worst state to do business in, respectively. Michigan was third worst for the second year in a row.
Quoting a CEO that it said represented the prevalent attitude among CEOs, the magazine reported: "Michigan and California literally need to do a 180 if they are ever to become competitive again. California has huge advantages with its size, quality of work force, particularly in high tech, as well as the quality of life and climate advantages of the state. However, it is an absolute regulatory and tax disaster, as is Michigan."
It did not name the CEO.
Economic development experts say they expect the state to climb out of the slump it's in on the backs of small businesses --officially those with fewer than 500 employees, but most typically those with a strong leader and a handful of helpers. That's probably because no one in Michigan is waiting for a big company to say it plans to hire a lot of people here.
In the good 'ol days (say the '60s and '70s) that would mean one-shot economic injections of 500 or 1,000 workers. But that doesn't happen very much any more.
It's not that major job announcements can't happen. It's just that serious job development in Michigan is focused on growing what's already here and helping little guys with good ideas get started in fields that most people have never heard about.
More than 627,280 Michigan businesses in 2006 (the last year for which complete data is available) were one-man or one-woman operations, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Small businesses were the focus of accolades this week during Small Business Week.
Communities are looking for people with an idea, a concept or a system that may become the next Bell's Brewery, Metabolic Solutions Development or Rope Lok LLC.
Rope Lok is a Otsego-based growing maker of a rope-locking system that requires neither a knot nor an anchor to let boaters, campers or anybody tie down cargo in the back of a pickup. Metabolic Solutions is a Kalamazoo-based maker of promising treatments for diabetes. And Bell's is perhaps the best-known craft brewer in Michigan.
Although the idea that someone working out of a home office or a garage has the next big idea sounds idealistic, nurturing people with good ideas seems to be a realistic, steady and dependable -- albeit slow -- path to job growth. And who knows when the next Homer Stryker, W.K. Kellogg or W.E. Upjohn will emerge?

Wedding gown style: Dora and style 1G029
Boutique purchased: Wedding Salon of Manhasset, New York and Central Weddings, Hong Kong
Wedding date: December 30th, 2010
Location: Hong Kong
Photographer: Simon Ho (simonthephoto) and Sinclair Yip
Did you have a certain style in mind when you started your search for a dress?
I always wanted a traditional ballgown for the exchanging of vows, and a more modern version for the party afterward. I picked two gowns for my wedding – the tulle ballgown style which is simple, sweet and romantic and the Dora gown which is elegant, classic and modern.
What made you decide on your Vera Wang gown?
Vera makes the most gorgeous wedding gowns and I knew Vera Wang was going to be my choice.
Did you bring anyone along dress shopping? If so, did their opinions influence your final decision?
I didn't invite too many people, because I knew three or more would make the decision making stressful and difficult. My bridesmaids, Bonnie and Flora, came with me and when both of them agreed the gown was 'very me', then I knew that's the one. The process was very joyful.
How did you accessorize to make your wedding day outfit unique?
I kept my accessories simple and elegant. I wore a pair of classic drop diamond earrings and a diamond necklace which my Aunt gave me on my wedding day.
What was the inspiration or theme for your wedding?
Simple, elegant and classic.
Did your gown style relate to any other design elements of the wedding (ie. cake, invitations, etc.)?
The chapel ceremony was planned because of my ballgown. I knew the sweetheart shape ballgown was perfect for me to walk down the aisle in.
Did you incorporate any other Vera Wang products into your wedding?
Our toasting flutes were Vera Wang. They were a meaningful gift from our dear friend.
What was your favorite part of the day?
There were so many beautiful moments to treasure on my wedding day. My favorite part was the ceremony. Looking into my husband's eyes, speaking the time-honored words and exchanging the vows was such a touching and unforgettable moment.
What tips do you have for new brides picking out their wedding dress?
Wedding gown shopping is the most exciting and enjoyable process in wedding planning. I suggest all brides-to-be do more research and try on a variety of styles before they make any decision. Once you find a gown and can't sleep because you are thinking about it, it's the one.

Union-Eagle Reporter
A relatively new device that paramedics on the North Ambulance ground crews are using in North Ambulance's Princeton region to revive stopped hearts "is making a difference."
That is according to Kevin Novotny, who became the new manager of the North Ambulance service in the Princeton region last August.
The principal new device that Novotny was talking about is manufactured in Sweden and goes by the trademark name, LUCAS II Chest Compression System. When Novotny and fellow paramedic Joshua Zak were recently demonstrating the LUCAS II on a mannequin at the North Ambulance garage just north of Princeton, they also had a LIFEPACK 15 heart monitoring machine hooked up. The North Ambulance paramedics use the LUCAS II and the LIFEPACK 15 together when trying to get a heart going again, Novotny explained.
North Ambulance's operation in the Princeton region has three LUCAS IIs and four LIFEPACK 15s so that a pair of the two devices can be placed in each of the region's three rolling ambulances coming out of the ambulance garages in Princeton, Milaca and Zimmerman.
Novotny was not yet able to provide any figures to elaborate on how the LUCAS II has been "making a difference." He said that North Ambulance still needs more time for that.
But Novotny was able to get North Ambulance quality resources specialist Matt Hill on the phone to help round out the "making a difference" statement.
Hill says that North Ambulance is collecting data on the devices when paramedics are using them to respond to cardiac arrest patients. According to that data, the North Ambulance paramedics used the LUCAS II and LIFEPACK 15 devices 140 times in the Princeton region last year. The devices were used five times just in Princeton during the last half of 2012, Hill said.
Hill went on how the collected data shows very detailed information, such as the rate at which the chest compressions are made. His department then provides a summary of that for the crew members to review. It tells them what they "did good on the call and what they did good but could have done better," Hill said.
The big advantage of the LUCAS II device is that it can make the chest compressions uninterrupted to deliver the desired standard of 100 compressions per minute, Hill said.
For the full story, see the Thursday, March 21 print edition of the Times.
