In the future, we may judge phones by how bendy they are. Flexible screens have already made the rounds and it looks like batteries are learning to move with the groove as well. Researchers at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have successfully created a lithium ion battery that can be bent while maintaining and delivering a charge. Seen in the video below, the battery is shown charging a blue LED light. This is a far cry from powering an entire smartphone or computer, but it's a good start.
The research has been published in Nano Letters, a science journal. The article synopsis claims that the flexible batteries could lead to "bendable, implantable, and wearable electronic systems." Rollable displays are also specifically mentioned.
The rechargable batteries are printed on a film, allowing them to be almost paper thin and partially foldable. Still, we imagine that it would take many layers of thin battery film to power anything substantial, which might not make it quite as flubber-like as you might hope. Nevertheless, bendable means that it's somewhat moldable, so you could see smartphones or other devices that better contour to the body.
There is no word on the cost of this technology or exactly how feasible and ready it is for the commercial market. It will likely be a few years before we start seeing devices powered by batteries like this, if not longer. Still, who wouldn't want a bendable phone? At the very least, it could be a fun gimmick. Remember those eye glasses you could bend? I do.

Henry R. Wales was English by birth but moved to Canada with his family when he was nine years old. He moved to Markham in 1846 to work in a foundry but soon opened his own carriage manufacturing business that was located in front of the fine house, 'Maple Villa," named because of the maple trees that still cover the landscaped lawn and line the drive. His brothers, Josiah and George, worked with him.
The business grew rapidly and Henry Wales saw the benefits. He was able to retire 20 years before his eventual death on December 13, 1905, at the age of 83. During his life, Wales was very involved with public life although he never sought office; in fact, he turned down many offers to run.
In the early 20th century, the Wales Carriage Shop was taken over by Levi Webber, Henry's son-in-law. Webber concentrated on the repair of carriages and wagons rather than their manufacture. He also specialized in the repair of bicycles and, after 1915, the repair of automobiles. He suffered a stroke in 1923 and another enterprising business came to an end with the buildings being torn down. However, Maple Villa remains. Because it has a deep setback from Main Street North, it was obscured for many years by buildings along the street. After leaving the hands of the Wales family, the house was owned by Arthur White, "Derby" Riev, Gordon Gower, and Mrs. L.E. Wratten who restored the house after purchasing it in 1964.

MIAMI, Fla. (November 6, 2005) - The East Tennessee State volleyball team downed Florida International, 32-30, in game one of Sunday's match, but the Panthers would recover with 30-24, 30-27, and 30-21, to defeat the Lady Bucs, 3-1, in Pharmed Arena. Junior Sarah Buhr (Stockton, Calif.) paced the Lady Bucs with a 16-kill, 11-dig effort, as ETSU drops to 17-13 on the year. The Golden Panthers improve to 13-12 overall, behind 26 kills from Anita Szymanska.
The Lady Bucs trailed for most of the first frame, but battled back from three points down at the 29-26 mark. Jennifer Sartor (Toronto, Ontario) brought the Lady Bucs within two, with a kill on an assist from Jennifer Emerson (Santa Clara, Calif.). Sartor tallied 11 kills, along with a match-best 14 digs on the day.
A kill by Buhr would bring the Lady Bucs within one, before an attack error by FIU's Laura Vogel allowed ETSU to tie the score at 29. Another Panther miscue put the Lady Bucs up, 30-29, before a service error by Sartor knotted the score at 30. A Buhr kill and a service ace by Brittany Kessel (Libertyville, Ill.) put the Lady Bucs ahead for good at 32-30. Game one was the best hitting output of the day for the Lady Bucs, who hit .244 in the set, while holding FIU to .151.
Kessel led ETSU in assists, with 22 sets. Emerson chipped in with 19 assists of her own, while also contributing 10 digs.
The Lady Bucs hit .081 as a team, while the Panthers tallied .180. Vogel and Mina Spasojevic contributed to the Panther offense with 12 and 11 kills, respectively. Meanwhile, Whitney Kenney tallied a match-high 57 assists.
The Lady Bucs will hit the road again on Tuesday, November 8, as they take on Western Carolina in the final regular season match of the year. ETSU then has a break before heading into the Atlantic Sun Tournament, which begins on November 18.

Re: The House of Pain
"I do the same as Arikawa Sensei and all the best teachers I have known. I don't give the attacker a choice. I always take the attacker's centre. I always break the attacker's balance. So the whole question of pain is just not relevant."
Excellent synopsis of why your aikido is what it is. I am in total agreement. Congratulations on reaching the essense of Bushi no Nasake. Your students are most fortunate indeed.
I wrote elsewhere that, in a private lesson with Arikawa Sensei, he not only failed to deliver any pain, he relieved me of an elbow misalignment I received from, of all people, Kisshomaru Doshu.
I do believe in pain as a truthful indicator of how the training is progressing, and as a marker to remember against future repetitions of that day. Otherwise, it is to be avoided whenever possible, realizing that it is not always possible. Then, character, and being goal oriented, helps a lot.
Thanks Niall, for delivering great posts on relatively untreated but vital concepts of training, and of life.

Statement of Mental Health America on Administration's FY 2014 Budget
Statement of Mental Health America on Administration's FY 2014 Budget
Contact: Steve Vetzner, (703) 797-2588 or email@example.com
Mental Health America today released the following statement of Wayne W. Lindstrom, Ph.D., president and CEO of Mental Health America:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (April 12, 2013)—Mental Health America commends the Administration for making mental health a priority through a $235 million investment in new programs to help identify mental health concerns early, improve access to mental health services and support safer school environments.
This new funding demonstrates the President's commitment to improve and expand access to mental health services and builds on the initiatives he proposed in January.
We will work to complement these investments by ensuring that funding for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the National Institutes of Health sustain essential supports, services and research. Mental health has deservedly received greater attention over the past months, and that new focus needs to be supported by necessary funding increases and investments.
The plan also takes the important step of protecting Medicaid, the largest source of funding for mental health services. Maintaining Medicaid funding is essential to expanding coverage and improving access to mental health services under the Affordable Care Act.
The plan takes the right approach by eliminating sequestration and returning discretionary spending to pre-Budget Control Act levels. Under sequestration, required cuts will result in 373,000 adults and children with serious mental illness losing access to treatment and hundreds of thousands of children and adults being at risk of losing access to any type of public mental health support. It is essential we reverse these cuts and provide these vital services to children and families.
At the same time, we are discouraged by proposed changes to the Medicare program and the proposal to change how cost of living adjustments for Social Security are calculated. They put too many elderly and disabled Americans at risk of losing critical and needed services and supports.
Mental Health America (www.mentalhealthamerica.net), founded in 1909, is the nation's leading community-based network dedicated to helping all Americans achieve wellness by living mentally healthier lives. With our 240 affiliates across the country, we touch the lives of millions—Advocating for changes in mental health and wellness policy; Educating the public & providing critical information; and delivering urgently needed mental health and wellness Programs and Services.

(May 14, 2009)--James Nyondo '05 is one of six candidates remaining on the May 19 ballot that will elect a new president and members of parliament in the African country of Malawi. Many at UTSA are not surprised at his achievement.
To many residents of the United States, Malawi is best known as the setting of pop singer Madonna's adoption sagas. Beyond the entertainment headlines lies a landlocked country of 14 million that is grappling with the problems of a developing nation: population growth, HIV/AIDS, access to education and economic resources, and political corruption.
To Nyondo, 41-year-old son of a tribal chief, Malawi is a deeply troubled homeland in desperate need of better leadership. He is running for president of Malawi, a multiparty democracy that achieved its independence from Great Britain in 1964.
The international student arrived in San Antonio in 2003 to pursue a degree in business administration. While at UTSA and on visits throughout his travels in the United States, Nyondo soaked up knowledge about American culture, government and business, in hopes of one day applying his knowledge in his home country.
Nyondo attended Chancellor College in Malawi and earned a law degree from the University of South Africa, in addition to his business degree from UTSA. He and his wife, Lusani "Brenda" Nemataheni have two children.
Karen Roth, associate director of the UTSA Tomás Rivera Center for Student Success, became close friends with James and Brenda while they were here, introducing them to such San Antonio treasures as H-E-B and the River Walk.
"When I met him, he told me that he was going to be president of his country one day," Roth recalled. "This was not the typical undergraduate."
Nyondo's Christian faith is a driving force in his work and pursuit of education. After returning to Malawi in 2006, he started a ministry called Servants of the Nation, an organization that promotes servant leadership in the country through grassroots efforts.
On the SON website, Nyondo writes, "I believe good leadership that truly serves the people is critical to bridging the divisive gap between the haves and the have-nots. The legacy of tomorrow is dependent on the servant-leadership of today. ... For this country to rise, we need safe government that looks out for all the peoples' well-being.
UTSA Professor Richard Gambitta led Nyondo in a political science independent study focused on legislative behavior. Gambitta became a mentor to Nyondo, showing him both the city's poverty and its wealth, as well as taking him to Austin to visit the Legislature in session and introducing him to state representatives, senators and staff.
"He was very surprised at the way the Legislature actually worked, the informality of it, compared to his own country's parliament," Gambitta said. "I told him, I am always surprised by it, too."
With just a week to go before the elections, Nyondo is reporting a campaign of intimidation that includes harassment of supporters and the deportation of Micah Harris, a friend and campaign volunteer. The current president, Bingu wa Mutharika, has spoken out against him and other candidates. According to news reports, the European Union is sending more than 80 observers to cover the election.

from the seriously-creepy dept
We've covered plenty of stupid criminal stories in the past, but there's been something missing from those stories. That something is a tone-deaf "excuse" that excuses nothing except the common sense of the perpetrator. Well, wait no longer, because here is your latest idiot criminal, University of Florida professor Don Samuelson, who is accused of using a pen-camera to film his students' naughty bits.
According to the arrest report, the first two of four alleged incidents involve recording down a woman's v-neck shirt. On August 30, one woman became aware of what Samuelson was up to as he attempted filming both down her shirt and up her skirt, between her thighs. The camera pen was seized by police and the portable thumb drive containing the videos included videos of other women working in his lab and meeting in his office.So, they got him. Like, dead to rights got him. Got him so bad that you would imagine there's no weaseling out of this for Samuelson, right? He'd just have to admit what he did, slink away, and take his punishment like a man. Well, no, friends. Samuelson has an excuse for surrepticiously filming his female students' breasts and between their legs. And, boy, is it ever convincing.
Samuelson admitted the camera pen was his, but insisted he was using it to prove a woman wasn't wearing any undergarments.In other words: no, officer, I was not trying to get panty and bra shots, I was trying to get vagina and breast shots, duh! That's probably not the kind of thing you want to insist. I'm having trouble coming up with a worse excuse for being a college professor perv-dog than that, and I've been trying to come up with one for at least fifteen minutes. So way to go, Don Samuelson, surely former professor at the University of Florida and possible new admittee to a local correctional facility. You're not only a creepy pervert, you're a dumbass too!

The Latest Liverpool FC News and Views
This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Ajax defender Toby Alderweireld has confirmed he would be interested in a move to the Premier League.
The Belgium international has been linked with a move to Everton, while Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle have also been credited with an interest in the Ajax man.
The 24-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at Ajax and he admits he has not made a decision on his future as yet as he waits on offers from his suitors.
"It depends if there is a club coming [in] that I want to go to," Alderweireld told Sky Sports News. "But I'm patient and we will see in a few days.
"We will see, if they [Tottenham] are very interested then I will hear what their plans are."
Asked about the links with possible moves to Everton or Newcastle, Alderweireld added: "[There is no offer from Everton] that I know of, maybe my manager knows. But I was focusing on the [Belgium] game and now I'm focusing on Sunday.
"I didn't hear from those clubs. But those are beautiful clubs and the Premier League is a beautiful competition, so we will see."

Handball is a fascinating game played throughout five continents by over 180 countries and 19 million people all ages, worldwide. First introduced as an outdoor sport during the 1939 Summer Olympics program, handball has since been an indoor sport in the Summer Olympics program since 1972.
Beach Handball is a relatively new "kid on the block" as the game and its first official rules were officially recognized by the International Handball Federation (IHF) in 1994. The sport will be featured in the 2013 World Games while being considered to debut as a separate event in the 2020 or 2024 Olympic Games. The IHF and other continental federations actively promote beach handball through grassroots and international competitions understanding that some athletes will specialize in beach handball while others will cross-over into indoor handball.
Mini Handball is a unique version of the game for young kids in which they learn by playing, engaging in healthy fitness activities, and establishing some basic technical and tactical competencies in low-competitive environment. It is more than a miniature version of the adult game. It is a true sport philosophy and a great gateway for all children to become physically active, practice teamwork, make friends, acquire multi-level transferable skills, and have tons of fun!
Street Handball is the newest addition to handball offerings. It was introduced in 1997 in Denmark. It was invented and promoted by famous players and coaches like Lasse Boesen, Ole B. Andersen and Torben Sorensen. This game takes to the streets and parks, dropping all barriers and allowing participants of all ages and ability levels to enjoy handball in its purest, backyard fashion with minimal rules and equipment requirements.

Day 1 recap - as per my previous post I experienced the following feelings;
- Apprehension
- Numbness
- Unsure, have I made the right decision?
- Loss of good stable income
- The unknown, what if I fail?
- What happens if my studies don't succeed and I go into a job that I don't want to do? (Income less, not happy).
Day 2
I began to feel more at ease with my decision. A lot of the apprehension that was felt on day 1 had mellowed although not disappeared completely. Nonetheless it was only a minimal thought and there was a near inner peace with the decision.
Day 3-4
At this stage I was feeling excited about the opportunities that would present itself from skewing off the path which only a week earlier had been clearly defined. However, there is still cautious optimism because of the need that money is required to support this quest.
Other thoughts and feelings were;
- Plan to succeed, no matter what the income is-as long as I enjoy it!
- End of an era for me, and I will miss the people who I have worked with over the years.
- I will miss the company as well because that is all I know, although in some respects it has also pigeonholed me and now I have broken free from the hold.
- What will people think when I say that I'm not working and instead am studying? Loss of 'status' that came from a good position, important work.
- I am very appreciative of the supportive comments that my colleagues made of my decision. They are not surprised that I have decided to head into a different direction and believe that it suits me.
- I will miss the 'influence' of my position, and the respect that I have built up with my colleagues.
A little emotional during the farewell speech, but sucked it up. I know that I will see a majority of these people again whether in person or on line. There in a way was a feeling of relief that the last day had now arrived and was closed so that I could now focus my attention on the future. Lots of drinks with my ex-colleagues after work celebrating the good times, the interesting times, the laughs. Although to be fair after a alcoholic lunch which led to late night - my memory is a little hazy.
Well I have been accepted into a full time University course to follow my new direction in life. This is exactly what I want to do and is due to start in two weeks time. It has been one week since I finished up with the company and I did feel guilty during the first week that I was not working. I felt that I should be working. Probably for that matter I kept busy with preparing for study. I was reading a lot of material to get a start on what I will be learning. I have also been attending global conferences which support this career direction - so there hasn't really been much rest.
Of course, it is nice to have the ability to go to the local cafe when the weather is nice to enjoy a latte and not have to be locked into a 9-5 role :).

Your pool must be protected from germs, bacteria, algae and a variety of other organics. Without reservation, chlorine is simply the best sanitizer for your outdoor pool. There are other sanitizers available but, in one way or another, they all fall short of chlorine.
Okay, you're convinced. Now, let's get some chlorine in your pool. It is important to understand that chlorine is a consumable item that is constantly being consumed and must constantly be replenished. Usually you must add about 2-3 ppm daily to keep the pool properly sanitized. Here are the various ways you can do that:
1. Liquid chlorine - Household bleach and liquid pool chlorine are the two common sources. They are identical in every aspect except strength, household bleach is typically 8.25% and pool chlorine is usually around 12%.
The huge advantage of liquid chlorine is that it introduces nothing into your pool except chlorine and a small amount of salt. It's almost the perfect chlorinator except for one thing...it's very bulky and, as a result, the handling of it is a nuisance compared to other forms.
2. Trichlor - Commonly sold as tablets or pucks that you simply put into an automatic container that passes pool water over them and they slowly dissolve - putting chlorine and CYA into your water and lowers the pH. They are incredibly convenient and incredibly insidious. The CYA that they put into your pool water doesn't get used up, and instead accumulates. Eventually the CYA level will build up to a point that renders your chlorine ineffective. Typically, everything is fine, until one day you start to develop algae and don't understand why.
3. Calcium Hypo - A convenient, usually powdered, form of chlorine. It's big advantage, like trichlor pucks, is it's convenience. Long term, that convenience makes you pay a price. Roughly 1/3 of Cal-hypo is Calcium that, again, goes into your pool water and you can't get it out. Constant use of cal-hypo usually results in the calcium level getting way too high in your pool which can cause scaling or cloudiness.
4. Dichlor - A stabilized, granular, fast-dissolving form of chlorine. Because it dissolves so easily, it is often sold as "shock". Like trichlor, dichlor adds chlorine and CYA to your water and lowers the pH. Use of dichlor can raise your CYA level very quickly.
5. Lithium Hypo - A convenient powdered form of chlorine. Like liquid chlorine it doesn't add anything that will cause problems to the water. However, it is generally far more expensive than any other form of chlorine.
6. SWGs (salt water chlorine generators) - Installed in your circulatory system and electrically powered, SWGs produce chlorine from the salt that you have added to your pool. A different article, Salt Water Chlorine Generators, covers them more thoroughly. Briefly, ease of use is by far their single best feature. The large initial investment to purchase the system is their big drawback.
Synopsis: Liquid chlorine (bleach) or an SWG are your two best options. Both will keep your water sparkling all summer with little, if any side effects.

OMG! Miley Cyrus is in bed with Harry Styles of One Direction. We can just picture Taylor Swift preparing to hurl herself into oncoming traffic.
Kidding! Cyrus actually tweeted pics of her and her little sister Noah in bed with a Harry Styles cardboard cutout.
We're not going to ask what the Sisters Cyrus were doing with said Hazza avatar or how they came to possess it. We did, however, have a hearty laugh at the images of Cyrus planting a kiss on Harry's cardboard cheek.
The photos are obviously ill-timed, since Haylor just broke up like a few minutes ago. And given the fact that an entertainment writer tried to instigate a little tweet heat between Cyrus and T. Swizzle for how they are portrayed and perceived in the media, this could certainly spark a little angst between the blondes.
Cyrus knew that these photos would spark controversy and chatter, and even added that to the tweet of herself getting busy with a faux Harry. Still, she took him seriously when he sang the lyrics to 'Kiss You.'
Look at how she's looking at him lovingly, and cradling him. Even a cardboard version of H. Styles makes the ladies swoon.
Below is her first tweet, and then the follow up, which was a pre-emptive measure to stop the "OMG Miley is cheating on Liam Hemsworth with Harry Styles" web trash talk. We can also think that a bazillion Directioners would want Hazza even if Cyrus does not.
All I want for my birrffffday is a big booty hoe. All @noahcyrus wants for her BIRFFFDAY is @harry_styles twitter.com/MileyCyrus/sta…
— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) January 8, 2013
In no way do I want Harry. No offense. I'm sure that'll be a story now 2. I'm happily engaged. Just got saucy with a cardboard cut out.

Ahl al-Bayt, (Arabic: "People of the House,") designation in Islam for the holy family of the Prophet Muḥammad, particularly his daughter Fāṭimah, her husband ʿAlī (who was also Muḥammad's cousin), and their descendants.
Shīʿites closely identify this family with the imams, whom they regard as the legitimate holders of authority in the Muslim community, the infallible bearers of sacred knowledge, and the source of messianic deliverance in the end time. Since the 12th and 13th centuries most Sufi orders have included members of the Prophet's family in their elaborate spiritual lineages (silsilas), which they trace back to the Prophet through ʿAlī.
Aside from Mecca, shrines containing the remains of members of the Prophet's family and their heirs are the most popular Muslim pilgrimage centres. These include the shrines of ʿAlī in an-Najaf, Iraq; Ḥusayn in Karbalāʾ, Iraq, and Cairo, Egypt; ʿAlī ar-Riā in Meshed, Iran; and Khwajah Muʿīn-ud-Dīn Chishtī in Ajmer (western India). In many Muslim societies people known as sharifs and sayyids hold privileged status by descent from the holy family. Among those claiming such status in the 20th century were King Ḥassan II of Morocco, King Hussein of Jordan, Ṣaddam Hussein of Iraq, and Abūʾl-ʿalāʾ Mawdūdī of India/Pakistan.

A Cocktail for Apricot Lovers: The Knicker Twist Straight Up Cocktails and Spirits
If you love apricots as much as I do, you're in for a treat with today's cocktail recipe: the luscious - and saucily named - Knicker Twist.
I first tried this cocktail at Rye in Brooklyn. I'm a big fan of drinks from the sours family (alcohol + citrus juice + a sweetener) and this combination of vodka, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and apricot preserves immediately grabbed my interest. Rich, lush, and the perfect balance between sour and sweet, the Knicker Twist had me at first sip. (Its booze-soaked fruit garnish was an extra bonus too.)
Intrigued by the drink's sassy handle, I asked its creator, Rye's head bartender Sother Teague, to tell me the story behind it. He explained that the recipe is modeled on a classic cocktail called the Knickerbocker (rum, raspberry syrup, curacao, and lime juice). The "twist" here is that apricot jam is subbed in as the fruit component and vodka is used as the spirit base.
A trained chef with many years spent in professional kitchens before he took up a career behind the bar, Sother often brings his culinary chops to his cocktail recipes - in this particular case, in his use of homemade apricot preserves and a macerated fruit garnish.
Sother said he created the vodka-based Knicker Twist as an approachable, entry-level cocktail to sit alongside some of the more elaborate options on Rye's menu. "I did it to please the clientele that come to Rye a bit uninitiated to the current "cocktail culture." I figured if I can get them to try something and like it then I'd gain their trust enough to guide them to a more ambitious drink." This immediately made me wonder if it would be simple enough to make at home myself.
Sother was kind enough to share his recipe, including instructions for making homemade apricot preserves as well as the boozy apricot garnish. I gave it a test drive in my own kitchen, taking a few shortcuts (i.e., subbing in store-bought jam). I did take time, though, to make up a mini-batch of six garnishes, macerating the dried apricots in brandy and apricot nectar the night before. The yummy results were well worth the extra step.
Here's the basic cocktail recipe, plus full instructions for the homemade jam and the garnish. The words are Sother's, the notes in [ ] are mine.
Knicker Twist
by Sother Teague of Rye (Reproduced with permission.)
makes one cocktail
2 ounces vodka of your choice (I use 80 proof Luksusova potato vodka)
1 ounce curacao or triple sec [I used Cointreau, which isn't quite as sweet]
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice (goes without saying that fresh is best)
1 1/2 teaspoons apricot jam* [I used store-bought jam, scooping up the jellied bits and avoiding the apricot pieces and pulp.]
Garnish: macerated dried apricot**
Put all ingredients in a shaker and cover with ice. Shake vigorously to break up the jam and emulsify the drink. Double strain (to remove any solids and ice shavings) into a chilled 5-ounce coupe glass. Using the natural separation of the dried apricot, open it and pinch it to the rim of the glass. Cheers!
*Apricot Jam
Makes approximately 2 1/2 quarts
8 cups apricots, diced
1/3 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
16 ounces apricot nectar (I use Goya)
5 1/2 cups sugar
Bring all ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often. Strain mixture through a fine strainer. Allow to cool before refrigerating. It should set like soft jello.
To expedite the process there are a couple of options. Just use a pulp-free jelly from the store. This would require extra vigorous shaking though. [I used store-bought jam instead of jelly and improvised a little, scooping up the jellied bits and avoiding the apricot pieces and pulp.] Or melt the store-bought jelly on the stove top with some nectar and strain and store as above. Further, this could be done with any jelly-and-juice combo with equally tasty results.
25 unsulfured natural dried apricots
3 ounces brandy of choice (inexpensive)
3 ounces apricot nectar
Place all ingredients in a container that will just hold them snug. Allow to macerate for 24 hours. Save the syrup - it's delicious on scones and biscuits!

How To Get Help And What To Expect When Reporting An Incident
Campus Resources
The University has a number of resources available to assist in the aftermath of a sexual assault. You can report a sexual assault and get help by contacting any of the following:
- Resident Advisors/Resident Directors/House Advisors
- Student Health Center – 315.268.6633, weekdays 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
- Counseling Center – 315.268.2327, weekdays 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
- Campus Safety & Security – 315.268.6666, 24/7. When calling weeknights and weekends, an Officer will answer on a portable cell phone. Do not share confidential or sensitive information! Ask the Officer to phone you from the office or come to your room. An Officer can call in other emergency resources as necessary.
- Potsdam Police – 315.265.2121
- Renewal House - 315.379.9845
In addition to following established procedures, the above resources will automatically call in a Counselor to assist you. The Counselor will explain your options; assist in obtaining additional services and in deciding how you would like to proceed.
We strongly advise a medical exam at Canton-Potsdam Hospital with a S.A.N.E. (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) volunteer. You can always decide not to prosecute later, but if no evidence is collected it is very difficult to prosecute an assailant. Having the rape exam leaves your option open.
DO NOT bathe, douche or wash your clothes. Bring a change of clothes with you. If a rape examination is appropriate, it allows for evidence collection. This examination must be done within 72 hours of the assault. The examination will include: Pelvic exam, semen analysis, STD testing and treatment for possible infection, which may involve an antibiotic. It is important for this examination to take place, even if you are unsure you wish to prosecute. Should you eventually decide criminal prosecution is appropriate for you, the examination and evidence collection will be essential. Should you wish evidence to be collected, the Police will be contacted to secure the evidence. You still maintain the right to decide whether or not you want to pursue criminal prosecution.
NOTE: New York State law ensures the privacy of sexual assault victims. All Counselor contact with victims is confidential, however; all other employees are required by law to report the incident.
Counseling 315.268.2327
A Counselor can provide invaluable assistance in helping you work through the myriad, and sometimes conflicting, feelings typical for a victim of sexual assault. Even if you don't feel like you want help in getting through the experience initially, you may contact a Counselor at any time after the fact. ALL contact with the Counselor is confidential. Should you wish to report the incident, the Counselor can support you through the process.
Campus Safety & Security 315.268.6666
Call Campus Safety & Security if an assault occurred, or Central Dispatch (911) or Potsdam Police (315.265.2121).
DO NOT change your clothes, bathe, or shower, brush your teeth, eat or drink. These activities could destroy evidence in the event that you decide to prosecute the assailant later.
Campus Safety & Security can provide transportation to the emergency room without with disclosure as to why you are seeking treatment. At the emergency you will receive a rape examination to collect evidence and be given the necessary medical treatment. You will also have the option of meeting a Renewal House advocate and SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) or contact a Clarkson University counselor to serve as an advocate.
If you decide not to contact the police or to forgo a rape exam, you may go to the Student Health Center to be checked, during regular business hours. You may have injuries of which you are unaware. You may want to discuss pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases with a medical professional.
If the assailant is a Clarkson University student, you may wish to report the incident for action through the University's judicial process. An Officer can assist you in contacting the appropriate Dean of Students staff member. You may choose to request University intervention, in conjunction with, a criminal investigation by the Police, or instead of it. http://www.clarkson.edu/studentaffairs/regulations/ix.html#L
Medical Examination
When reporting a sexual assault, you will be asked if you wish to receive medical attention. Victims are encouraged to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Not all injuries are obvious. A medical examination is necessary to assess possible internal injuries, sexually transmitted disease or pregnancy. A medical exam can be performed at any time, day or night.
If you are an innocent victim of a crime within New York State you may be eligible to receive benefits from OVS (NYS Office of Victim Services)
Since its establishment in 1966, this agency has provided substantial financial relief to victims of crime and their families by paying unreimbursed crime-related expenses, including but not limited to: medical and burial expenses, loss of earnings or support, counseling costs, crime scene clean-up expenses, the cost to repair or replace items of essential personal property, reasonable court transportation expenses, assistance to crime victims acting as a good Samaritan, the cost of residing at or utilizing the services of a domestic violence shelter, and limited attorney fees.
For further details go to the NYS Office of Victim Services located here. http://www.ovs.ny.gov/victimcompensation.html
Criminal Prosecution
If you wish to advocate criminal prosecution, you will be asked to accompany the investigator to the Police station to give a statement. You may request that a Counselor or other support person accompany you. The Police will also want to interview any other possible witness(es).
At any time after the report is made to the Police, you may decide to withdraw from active participation in the criminal follow-up. If am arrest has not been made, you simply need to notify the investigator in charge of the case and make a sworn statement affirming your decision not to prosecute. If an assailant has been arrested, you must contact the District Attorney's Office and make a sworn statement indicating your wish to decline prosecution.
Clarkson University is committed to creating an environment that is supportive of its
primary educational mission, free from ALL exploitation and intimidation. The University
will not tolerate rape, sexual assault, or other forms of nonconsensual sexual activity.
- To have all incident and medical records kept confidential.
- To be treated without prejudice regarding race, class, lifestyle, sex, age, occupation, or religious beliefs.
- To receive private and confidential treatment and be examined for personal injury, sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy.
- To receive the same credibility as a person reporting any other crime.

- To have the option, at any time, to withdraw from any legal proceeding.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The wait is over for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team.
The last time Lipscomb and USC Upstate met in a softball game was in the championship round of the Atlantic Sun Tournament last season.
The Lady Bisons entered the finals undefeated in the tournament, including a win over USC Upstate. But the Lady Bisons fell twice that day to USC Upstate, losing a chance for the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
This weekend's three-game series is a crucial one for both teams. The Lady Bisons are 27-5 overall, 8-3 in the conference. They are ranked 30th in the first NCAA Division I RPI poll. USC Upstate is 29-4, 10-2 in the A-Sun. The Spartans lead the conference and are ranked 25th in the RPI.
"We have been winning games, but there are still things we can do better," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "I would like to see us win games more convincingly instead of just winning them.
"We aren't going to have to worry about getting them up for this series. We have to make sure we are going out and attacking. Our team is very different when we approach games that way. We want to see an attack mode from the get-go."
The two teams faced each other six times last season. The Lady Bisons won the regular season series 2-1, but were 1-2 against Upstate in the tournament at Lipscomb.
The Lady Bisons hold a 14-6 lead overall in the series.
Expected heavy rain Friday and Saturday has already resulted in schedule changes. The two teams will meet for one game at 5 p.m. Saturday at Cyrill Stadium. They will play a doubleheader Sunday with the first game beginning at 11 a.m.
"We know we are going to be challenged by Upstate," Ryman said. "We respect what they do on the field, the athletes they have and how they play the game.
"If they are attacking us more so than we are them it is going to be difficult to get out of this. We can't play on our heels."
Third baseman Paige Neely leads the Lady Bisons in several offensive categories: batting average (.411). runs (33) hits (46), doubles (10) and slugging percentage (.598). She enters the series with a nine-game hitting streak, the second longest on the team this season.
First baseman Kristen Sturdivant paces the team in home runs with seven and runs batted in with 32. She also leads the team in multiple RBI games with 10.
Eight of the nine regular hitters for the Lady Bisons are in double figures in RBI.
Left-hander Ashley Anderson leads the Lady Bisons with a 12-0 record. She is one short of her career season-high in victories set in 2012. She has already shattered her old strikeout mark of 59 set in the same season. She has 69 to go with a 1.46 earned run average.
Upstate has two players batting .400 or higher – Shellie Robinson leads the team with a .412 average and Kendall Settlemyre is hitting .400. Five more players are batting in the .300s.
Robinson leads the team with 11 home runs, 11 doubles, 33 RBI and a .863 slugging percentage.
Lexi Shubert is the top pitcher for the Spartans with a 12-1 record and 0.90 ERA. She has 98 strikeouts in 93 innings. Anna Miller is 10-2 with a 1.57 ERA and Hannah Alexander is 7-1 with a 1.06 ERA.
"They do everything well," Ryman said. 'They hit well. They pitch well. They field well.
"Something has to give. We have to control how we approach the series and let the chips fall where they will. We have to approach it with a confident attack mentality. That is something we can control."
Upstate did not play a mid-week game. The Lady Bisons scored two runs in the eighth inning Wednesday night to beat Memphis on the road. The Lady Bisons are 4-0 in extra inning games.
Ryman is urging her players to keep their emotions at an appropriate level.
"At times this season I would have liked to see us be more on an even keel than being too high or too low," Ryman said. "I think going into this weekend I would almost rather see us on the high end. But we don't want to let our emotions get out of control.
"We are in that middle part of the season and like every team out there you get into a rut. A lot of teams have been traveling for awhile like us. School is catching up with you and you start feeling tired. But you get a second wind and push through to the end. This weekend can be a turning point for us to get our second wind."

It is better to be envied than it is to go unnoticed, my mother's voice echoed in the back of my mind. And I would have agreed with her on princip≤ however, if I leaned any farther to the left to avoid being seared by Stefanie's jealous gaze in that Friday morning meeting, I'm sure I would've toppled right off of my chair. For the record, there were eight other junior associates at our Beverly Hills law firm hoping for the same two promotion slots. I was handling a key client, and I did take my career very seriously. But even I wasn't cocky enough to believe that Stefanie's ill will had anything to do with my superior job performance. Rather, I knew that my being the only other female candidate was the reason why she made a habit of watching me as if there were a bull's-eye centered on my forehead. "Interesting choice of footwear for a firm-wide meeting," she had sneered in the elevator an hour before. As if my open-toed pumps were too much for the office. Luckily, I knew better. These emerald green Diors were as suitable as they were scrumptious.Maybe she just didn't like me. And if so, then I really didn't have the time to wonder why. Being the only Indian girl in my Hermosa Beach high school taught me to let the curious stares of others roll right off my back. It was just one of the many side effects of never quite fitting in.Although I'd never actually done anything to Stefanie the office tension was becoming a problem. How obvious could she be? And why would anyone choose to wear their emotions on their sleeve for everyone to see? To me, that would've been like wearing my naughty-nurse costume to a law school reunion. Or my bra as a hat. Completely illogical. It's not that I was dead inside. It was just that I'd learned to not let my feelings run amok. The casual observer might've assumed that since I didn't react, I didn't care, but I consoled myself with the knowledge that at least my fiancÉ, Raj, knew better.Or...well...he used to.Judging by his recent silent treatment, maybe Raj needed a reminder? I glanced down at my BlackBerry for the eighth time that morning. No new messages.Two weeks, I thought. And still not a word from him. Men are such women sometimes.Really though, he'd completely overreacted. I had every intention of helping him understand why...just as soon as he got around to returning my call. Or calls. All right, fine. Two calls, two e-mails and one text message in the fourteen days since he took that consulting assignment in London. The thought of him cutting me out of his life so easily made me want to hurl my BlackBerry at the wall. Of course, that kind of outburst at the conference table wasn't an option. Unless you were a client, in which case even trying to smoke the conference table itself would have been forgiven. Not to mention that nobody would ever find out about it--we at Steel Associates would make sure of that. Appearances are everything in Los Angeles, and so much more at our firm, which catered to the stars. Steel was the most sought-after marital mediation and divorce boutique in the city. Composure was our corporate culture as much as discretion was our hallmark."It's true that our clients rely on us for our legal expertise. But they also expect us to help them steer clear of the headlines," Niles, a senior partner, began. "I understand there have been some...complications with your case. Monica, would you care to elaborate?"All eyes were on me. Silently, I berated myself for using Raj's going AWOL as an excuse not to bother with my eyebrows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leeta from Hides the flabby mommy belly well! :-D This dress is very flattering for my figure! Hides my pouch really well! I had three kids all 4 and under, youngest is six months! I ordered a size XS after reading the reviews of the different body types. I'm 4'11". 102lbs. The dress fit perfectly! Length falls above my knees. Like other reviews I had trouble with the zipper! Especially in the area where the black lining is! The material is very well made and semi stretchy. the black trimming is leather I believe? It does stick to my skin a little bit especially when I'm a lil hot. Overall I'm happy with this purchase. I get compliments when wearing it! :-)

Rated 5 out of 5 by jazzierin from Dress is nicer in person ...just bought this one online and am really pleased. Nice quality fabric and lined so that the fit is both flattering and forgiving. I am 5'2" 119 lbs and got a size XS. As with many Bebe dresses, the zipper is super fussy when it hits the contrast trim. I put this on on by VERY gently pulling it over my head. The skirt flows beautifully....very feminine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DawnB from Love this dress! I was worried about the "binding" looking cheap but this dress is beautiful! I'm 5'3" and 150 lbs, got some belly chubs and this dress looks amazing on me. I bought a size M.The flare design accentuates perfectly. The fabric of the dress is very nice too. Looks way more expensive then $129. Can't wait to wear it when the weather is nicer. Thanks for a great dress Bebe!

Sapphire HD4650 512MB Overclock Edition Review
These days when you think video card you think high end gaming right? Well first, not everyone is a gamer and not every card is built for that purpose. Should someone who only uses their computer for media or casual internet usage spend hundreds of dollars on a blazing fast graphics card? On the other hand you want cutting edge technology available to you without the huge expense right. Well ATI has recently released their Hd 4600 line of cards aimed at just that group of people. It is targeted at the mainstream user who might game casually on not so extreme settings but like to kick back and watch a high definition movie on their down time. The HD 4650 is based off of the 55nm RV730 GPU, which is the same GPU used it it's bigger brother the HD 4670, and has 320 stream processors and 512MB of memory.
Sapphire takes their HD 4650 a step further and overclocks it to produce even more power to give you that boost you need when it is most critical. With many years of proven design Sapphire takes their knowledge in graphics cards to improve this card to the best it can be. This card comes packed with enought features to allow you to get the most out of your system while not breaking the bank to do so. With DirectX 10.1 and shader model 4.0 you will not have to upgrade this card for some time to come.
Closer Look:
The Sapphire HD 4650 comes packaged in a nice small box so there is not a lot of bulk and extra weight. The package features a Sapphire mascot on the front with some logos of highlight features. On the back they highlight more features and include a blurb about playing the "Vista" way. Sapphire has always been good about including the system requirements and what connections are available on the card which are on the left side of the package for easy checking.
One thing I have always admired with Sapphire graphics cards is they never leave you without an accessory you need when setting up your system. Usually anything and everything is included for your setup. Included in the box with the Sapphire HD 4650 is the manual, driver CD, component video dongle, S-Video dongle, DVI to VGA adapter, and a DVI to HDMI adapter.
Now that the Sapphire HD 4650 is out of the box let's take a better look up close.

How to Stick to a Budget
If you want to be successful in life, you have to sort out your finances. You have no choice but learn how to stick to your budget. Don't jump into things that you did not plan to spend your money on initially. When you create a budget, stick to it no matter what. Remember, you spoil everything once you start inserting things that were not in your budget initially. If you are wondering how to stick to a budget despite having so many things that can get into the way, here is how you can do it:
1. Make a list of everything you want to spend money on
2. Put the price of each item along it
3. Compute the total cost
Once you have done this, program yourself not to spend anything more than the total cost in your budget. When you do this all the time, you will always be able to stick on your budget.
Knowing Your Financial Limits
There is a difference between playing "craps" with stocks or other financial vehicles and investing intelligently. One difference is that your investments have a bigger picture, a goal, a plan. One of the elements that you need to consider when having a bigger plan is knowing your financial limits.
However, the real question is, how will you determine your financial limit? The truth is, the only person that can answer that is – YOU! Nevertheless, there are a few financial rules of thumb limits that you should know.
Only Invest Money You Can Afford To Lose
This rule is very important. Only invest money you can afford to lose. This means if in any case you lose your investment money, you will still be able to put food on the table and a roof on your head.
Never Argue With The Market
This rule means that you are willing to detach yourself from your investment money and if the value loses at a certain percentage, accept the loss and move on. In stocks, most of the time its set at 10%. For example, if you have a stock you bought for 100$. The stock dives to $90. This means, you sell the stock and move on. Do not argue with the market and wait for it to come back up.
Knowing your financial limits is very important. It's one of the pieces of the bigger puzzle. So before you start investing, ask yourself, do I know my financial limits?
Smart Strategies For Managing Your Debt
Managing your debt in an efficient way is essential to your financial success. Regardless of your financial status, you must know how to manage your debt. Financial debts can get you into trouble. But, you should not worry because there are effective ways on how to deal with it.
In order to manage your debt, one of the wisest things to do is pay bills on time every month. Keep in mind that late payments require interest rates and financial charges. To remind yourself of paying on time, it is best to create a monthly bill payment calendar. Moreover, it is also advisable to decide which debts to pay off first. Rank your debts according to priority or importance. On the other hand, keep a monthly budget in planning your expenses. As much as possible, plan in advance and allot a particular budget for the basic necessities at home. Do not forget to allot something for your emergency fund as well. And most importantly, never forget to save.

John David Coe, Jr., 36, of Prescott, sat at the defense table in a Hempstead County courtroom Tuesday morning staring mournfully, unmoving, as each witness who proffered victim impact statements against him from the family of Kathryn Nevil, 38, of Franklin, Tenn., poured out their hearts at the loss created by Coe's drunken driving.
John David Coe, Jr., 36, of Prescott, sat at the defense table in a Hempstead County courtroom Tuesday morning staring mournfully, unmoving, as each witness who proffered victim impact statements against him from the family of Kathryn Nevil, 38, of Franklin, Tenn., poured out their hearts at the loss created by Coe's drunken driving. Coe was found guilty Tuesday by Eighth Judicial District-North Circuit Judge Randy Wright and assessed maximum sentences of 40 years and 15 years incarceration on six felony charges in a pleading agreement to which he pled guilty in the Nov. 16, 2012, drunk driving death of Nevil and the injury of her two children. Wright assessed sentences of 40 years on one count of negligent homicide; 40 years on one count of first degree battery; 15 years each on two counts of aggravated assault; 15 years each on two counts of aggravated assault on family or household members; one year in county jail on a single count of possession of a controlled substance (marijuana); and one year in county jail on a single count of possession of drug paraphernalia. All of the felony sentences will be served concurrently in the Arkansas Department of Corrections, requiring Coe to serve at least 10 years imprisonment prior to any consideration of parole because of the maximum sentencing requirement under the controlling case of first degree battery, according to Eighth Judicial District-North Prosecuting Attorney Christi McQueen. The sentencing terms and length of prison service were part of an agreed pleading under an enhancement based upon four or more felony convictions, according to the agreement. The pleading was accepted by Wright under an agreement authorized by Steve Nevil, of Franklin, Tenn., husband of Kathryn Nevil, and in behalf of their children, Will Nevil and Lauren Nevil, both whom were injured in the crash. Coe will also pay $100,000 into a trust fund for the special needs of Lauren Nevil as she recovers from crippling injuries and brain damage as a result of the accident. Under the terms of the agreement, that sum will not be affected by any civil proceedings which may be brought in her behalf or that of the family. Steve Nevil shed tears multiple times as he read from the obituary of his wife, and recounted her vitality of life as a young woman, a wife and a mother. "It is evident that her desire to unselfishly share her heart, soul and fun character made a lasting impact on others by the amount of true great friends she made throughout her life," Steve Nevil said. "...She was a fantastic mother, an exceptional wife and helped lead her family through Biblical principles." Nevil quoted the Biblical passage in Matthew 6:14-15, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Nevil paused before he continued to read. "Mr. Coe, I haven't forgiven you yet," he said. "I pray for my heart to heal and give me the ability to forgive you, but I haven't been able to succumb to forgiveness yet. Maybe, today will be my first step towards that?" He recounted the sense of loss within his entire family, and its impact upon his children; emphasizing the void created in the life of his 13-year old daughter. "She will never ever be the same person and different her entire life because of your selfish and preventable choice you made on Nov. 16, 2012," Nevil said. "Lauren has had countless surgeries, multiple blood and plasma transfusions, physically transformed from her injuries, struggles with school work and socially different." Nevil challenged Coe to accept a photograph of his family and post it on the wall of his prison cell for the first year of his incarceration. "Each and every day for one full year you can look at our lives that you personally and permanently impacted forever by your selfish and preventable action that day," he said. "I hope your are mature enough to accept this challenge." As Coe later completed a short statement of his own, in which he expressed his sorrow for his actions and begged forgiveness, he stepped from the witness stand and accepted the photograph from McQueen. Statements were also read by Mrs. Nevil's mother, Carolyn Brimson Stuart; her brother, Jimmy Brimson; sister-in-law Deanna Nevil Mullins; and Richard Mullins in behalf of Tony Stevens, a cousin. But, perhaps the most telling statement of the proceeding came from young Lauren Nevil. Walking with a slight limp to the witness stand, Lauren seated herself, then stood and politely insisted that Wright administer the witness oath to her, as he had to the adults. And, with a child-like eagerness, she read a short statement that, while innocently unaware of the gravity of the proceedings, urged Coe to seek divine forgiveness. "Please consider going to church when you get out of jail, and opening your heart to the man who put you on this earth; and, even though you have disobeyed his rules, maybe, one day he will forgive you and you can go to heaven where you forced my mom to be today," Lauren read. "May God show you the right path to lead you on." Initial investigation by the Arkansas State Police determined that both Coe's 2008 Toyota and the 2002 Chevrolet driven by Steven Nevil, 31, were westbound on I-30 in Hope when the accident occurred about 9 p.m. on Nov. 16, 2012. ASP Trooper First Class Kyle Peek determined at the time of the accident that Coe's Toyota veered into the path of the Nevil vehicle, causing both vehicles to leave the roadway, both vehicles striking several trees before coming to rest. Kathryn Nevil, a passenger in her husband's vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene by Hempstead County Coroner Ben Brazzel. Coe was charged with negligent homicide in the death of Kathryn Nevil, "...as a result of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and/or while having an alcohol concentration of .08 or more in his breath or blood..." at the time of the accident, according to the information of charges filed in circuit court.
