Ekahau, a U.S.-based provider of Wi-Fi-based Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), announced today that its Ekahau RTLS location tracking solution and Ekahau Site Survey (ESS) Wi-Fi network planning and optimization tools will work seamlessly with the upcoming 802.11n standard.
802.11n is the next big wave in the enterprise networking market, so it is very important that our solutions will continue working over this new standard, said Pauli Misikangas, Ekahaus CTO in a press release today. With 802.11n, the quality of signal measurements actually increases, which positively impacts accuracy of the Ekahau RTLS solution. Unlike some other less sophisticated systems, our patented probabilistic algorithms can take the full advantage of the 802.11ns MIMO technology with multiple antennas.
According to Ekahau, ESS is the only site survey tool on the market that enables RTLS deployment after the standard Wi-Fi site survey, by creating an RTLS positioning model from the survey data. Ekahau RTLS 4.X (which supports 802.11n) is available now. ESS 4.5., which will include the 802.11n support, will ship during the 3Q08. Existing customers with an active support and maintenance contract will receive the ESS 802.11n upgrades free of charge.

Earlier this month, AT&T listed a new iPhone model, "iPhone Black," on its account management site. Could this be the upcoming 3G iPhone we're all expecting Apple to release within the next couple of months? After all, the finish of the rear of that eagerly-awaited smartphone is a glossy black, as rumored leaks and pictures have revealed over the last few weeks.
Whatever the significance of the listing, it can be seen as yet another indication that the days of the creepy crawly EDGE-enabled iPhone will soon come to an end. For more click here.

PDAStreet's James Alan Miller reports that Check Point VPN-1 now supports the Apple iPhone. So the virtual private networking gateway will protect data as it moves between the iPhone and the corporate data network through an encrypted connection.
It works by supporting the embedded iPhone L2TP client. That means iPhoners can receive e-mail and use company resources without installing additional software on their Apple smartphone.
According to Check Point, VPN-1 administrators can take advantage of a shared secret password and certificates for all iPhones on the network with specific login credentials for each end user. The company asserts this feature eliminates the need for IT to create separate gateway authentication keys for each device, therefore easing the deployment of iPhones on the network.
Overall, VPN-1 enables IT to choose from accelerated security, unified threat management security or virtualized security all with a unified architecture that is managed and maintained from a single console.

Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic issued a press release today summarizing the remarks of Philadelphia City Councilman At-Large Bill Green who spoke to the group on Monday about EarthLinks decision to terminate its network in Philadelphia.
The release says that Councilman Green is urging completion of the network, which purportedly covers 80% of the 135-square-mile city. He believes that the network, properly utilized, could save the city $3 million/per year in the short-term and up to $10-15 million per year in the longer term. He is calling for the city to take on the project of completing and maintaining the network.
Green was quoted in the release as saying, Earthlink has invested $20 million in building a city-wide Wi-Fi infrastructure that Philadelphia should be proud ofat zero cost to the taxpayer. The market has now moved on and EarthLinks original business model no longer stacks up. But the unique business opportunities that would be made possible by ubiquitous Wi-Fi coverage in Philadelphia more than justify the additional investment needed to complete the network build and keep Wireless Philadelphia alive.
He believes that city workers would benefit greatly from having mobile access to all the information and resources provided by Philadelphias fiber-optic LAN.
The impact on cost savings and efficiency would be dramatic, he was quoted as saying.
He also expounded on the virtues of free city-wide Wi-Fi to business and lower-income communities. There was no statement regarding how the network would be funded in future, or what business model Green might suggest.

Doing testing of existing homes it is typical to see mottled patterns of surface temperatures with the FLIR Infrared Thermal Imager during Blower Door Testing.
Part of the problem is air sealing and the other part of the problem is poorly installed fiberglass insulation.
This is not a rant against fiberglass insulation (I am a fan of both Rock Wool/Roxul and dense packed cellulose) for retrofit projects. Fiberglass batt or blown insulation can perform fine, if it is installed properly and the air sealing details are paid proper attention.
How successful have some of you folks been with going into a sloppy fiberglass insulated house and doing dense pack cellulose into the wall cavity?
Views: 1368
Hi TJ,
I've never recommended it due to the cost benefit of adding the dense pack. Even a poorly installed assembly will benefit from whatever insulation is there limiting the improvement that can be credited to drilling, dense packing, and repairing all of those holes.
Hey TJ, using the tube fill method with cellulose, contractors in the Puget Sound area (that would be around Seattle WA) have been dense packing right over the R-11 fiberglass batts with good success. Keep in mind, this probably does not have an SIR over 1 unless you are able to do very large amounts of walls and accurately record and account for the air sealing improvement on the building. King County Housing Authority, one of our LIHEAP agencies, does a fair amount of this work in multi family buildings.
It does take the right size tube and a decent amount of experience. I made a mess of it when I tried it, but then again, I am a consultant these days and have hung up the tool belt :-)
Do your self and your wallet a favor and get injection foam. The traditional insulation's are not worth the dust, allergy's, rodents, bugs and loss of "R" value with time. Do your research and you will not buy anything else.
We are dense packing walls with insulation present and receiving good results in the Denver CO area. Overall home air leakage reduction of 300 cfm per job. Bestway Insualtion has been dense packing existing fiberglass walls for somewhere between 25-37 years. Even medium batts have been able to be dense packed. If it is done in knee wall areas where no attic side air barrier or sheathing is present then it can be more difficult and prices may be different.
Short term cost benefit is higher than foam. 30 year payback is higher with some foams with higher R value such as closed cell, polyiso, etc. Avg length of time one stays in a home, a few years ago was 7 years. Payback also depends on location. CO is ideal since the temperature is cold here, but the climate is dry so we do not have as many moisture issues and additional steps are necessary to make sure moisture does not condense on roofing, etc. Insulation is tested at 65 degrees not accounting for a large temperature change for cold temperatures. See the Colorado Study for difference between 2 warehouses insulated with fiberglass and cellulose. Does fiberglass freeze at lower temperatures?
Other Concerns: A second concern with dense packing is that it does not account for thermal bridging. Other things to keep in mind is that brick homes may struggle with this method unless insulated from inside or if individual bricks are removed. Method can be used even when no gap is present. Dense packing insulation will increase per inch value of fiberglass, possibly lower per inch of cellulose slightly, but reduce air flow tremendously and is a good option for homes that do not want sheetrock removed. Effective R value may be tested with an R-value tester.
Also, the mean radiant temperature is greatly increased in most homes causing significant comfort results from customers we have insulated. Some of these results have been used to create new standards as well. In the old days, this method was also used to dense pack some mobile home walls in our area.
This area is in definate need of several more studies for a higher sample size especially in different locations! "Walls are the most under prescribed efficiency measure" Residential Energy.

A passion for new knowledge and a dedication to a healthier world inspired the founding of the Medical College of Wisconsin 125 years ago. Through research, discoveries, and treatments, countless lives across Wisconsin and around the world are being changed for the better every day.
That's why for our 125th anniversary, we are celebrating the anniversaries that truly matter – the birthdays, wedding anniversaries, graduations, and everyday milestones – that we've helped make possible over the last 125 years.
See Our History
Dr. John Bowman's words, spoken during the medical school's first capital campaign, are as true today as they were almost eight decades ago: "The people want the very best and will have nothing second rate."
The vision of a Wisconsin medical school began to be realized in 1893 with the founding of the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons and, later that decade, the Milwaukee Medical College. In 1907, Marquette University absorbed the Milwaukee Medical College creating the Marquette University Department of Medicine/Milwaukee Medical College.
Abraham Flexner, MD, was commissioned in 1910 by the Association of American Medical Colleges to conduct a review of all U.S. medical schools because of growing concerns nationwide regarding a lack of standardization. Dr. Flexner's landmark report provided the first standards for medical education in this nation. As a result of his work, medical schools across the country were reorganized to improve the quality of medical education.
Marquette University responded by purchasing the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1913. Through that acquisition and subsequent merger with Marquette's Department of Medicine/Milwaukee Medical College, a new institution was born: the Marquette University School of Medicine. Under the leadership of Louis F. Jermain, MD, the medical school's first dean, the new medical school garnered community support and ultimately received an "A" rating from the American Medical Association's Council on Medical Education; the highest level of excellence in the nation.
On January 14, 1913, Marquette University created a separate School of Medicine. In 1918, the Marquette University School of Medicine was reorganized into a separate fiscal corporation with its own Board of Directors.
Working with a core of full-time academic scientists and clinicians, most of the school's faculty were community physicians who volunteered to teach the medical school's classes. It was under their tutelage — and more importantly their mentoring — that students at the Marquette University School of Medicine became known as outstanding clinicians; doctors with advanced skills and a special interest in patient care. It is a reputation that continues today.
The medical school trained doctors who practiced in every county of the state. Partnerships were also forged with almost every Milwaukee hospital as they became clinical training sites for medical students. As envisioned by Wisconsin's early leaders, the medical school became the center of the health care delivery system.
Following World War II, medical schools were asked to play an even greater role in the nation's health care delivery system. The Marquette University School of Medicine, like its counterparts nationwide, was asked to affiliate with Milwaukee's VA Medical Center and upgrade the quality of medicine provided to the nation's returning war veterans.
Dr. John Hirschboeck, dean of the Medical School in the early 1950's, shared the commitment of the faculty and the community to maintain a strong medical school. He knew that to accomplish that goal, the medical school needed a medical center campus to house modern teaching hospitals with special commitments to teaching, research and tertiary care. In 1952, he unveiled plans for an ambitious venture: the "University Medical Center of Milwaukee," the precursor to today's Milwaukee Regional Medical Center.
Dr. Hirschboeck's vision of an academic medical center drew support from both the public and private sector. A major booster of the project was Kurtis R. Froedtert, a successful Milwaukee industrialist. Mr. Froedtert held a deep respect for medicine and medical education, and upon his death, he left much of his estate for the creation of a teaching hospital to be named Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital. Mr. Froedtert's gift helped the community realize that the dream of an academic medical center was within reach.
Financial difficulties plagued the medical school in the 1950s and '60s, and were a source of concern to Marquette University. On September 30, 1967, Marquette University terminated its sponsorship of the medical school. A corporate reorganization established the medical school as a private, freestanding institution named the Marquette School of Medicine.
Recalling the separation, Father John P. Raynor, S.J., former president of Marquette University said:
"I, who as president of Marquette University and also as president of Marquette University School of Medicine, cut the legal and juridical bonds which had connected the two institutions for more than 50 years. I must say that was the most difficult administrative decision I had to make in my 25-year tenure. However, what had to be done was done, and all in the interest of preserving and enhancing independently sponsored medical education in Milwaukee and attracting the resources needed to make the medical school the vigorous heart and core of our multi-institutional medical center."
"I, who as president of Marquette University and also as president of Marquette University School of Medicine, cut the legal and juridical bonds which had connected the two institutions for more than 50 years.

However, what had to be done was done, and all in the interest of preserving and enhancing independently sponsored medical education in Milwaukee and attracting the resources needed to make the medical school the vigorous heart and core of our multi-institutional medical center."
The multi-institutional medical center described by Father Raynor is the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, the realization of Dean John Hirschboeck's vision of a "University Medical Center of Milwaukee." John Doyne, Milwaukee County executive in the mid-1960s, and Edmund Fitzgerald, Chairman of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company and a member of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, shared Dr. Hirschboeck's commitment to the development of an academic medical center. In a public/private partnership, they appointed a blue-ribbon task force headed by Milwaukee industrialist Joseph Heil, Sr., to study the need and potential for an academic medical center in Milwaukee.
The resulting Heil Commission Report was presented on January 14, 1967, exactly 54 years after the founding of the medical school. This report, endorsed by both county government and the Greater Milwaukee Committee, called for major public and private financing and support for a comprehensive regional medical center with the medical school as its hub.
The Heil Report served as a catalyst for new partnerships between the medical school, the business community, county government, and the state. In 1969 when the medical school's solvency was in question, the Greater Milwaukee Committee came to its support and raised more than $1 million over a three-month period.
The Heil Report also prompted the medical school's board of directors to re-examine the independent institution's role and scope. The board determined that the medical school provided statewide services and, as such, should be named to reflect its ties to all residents of Wisconsin. On October 14, 1970, the board of directors voted to rename the medical school as the Medical College of Wisconsin.
The Medical College of Wisconsin began a period of extraordinary growth in 1978 when it moved to new facilities on the campus of the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center (MRMC).
The campus, however, already was unfolding into a major academic medical center. On-campus facilities now include the College's Eye Institute, Curative Rehabilitation Services, the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex, Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and the Blood Research Institute of the BloodCenter of Wisconsin. Medical College faculty work at these facilities and at hospitals and clinics in the metro Milwaukee area.
After its move to the MRMC campus and establishing itself as a major referral center for tertiary care, the Medical College introduced new initiatives, including an emphasis on primary care and outpatient services, programs in inner-city and rural areas, establishment of Centers of Excellence and growth of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. The Medical College, to date, has established more than 30 urban initiatives focused on a wide range of public health issues.
During the past 20 years, on-campus construction has been seemingly non-stop. New Medical College facilities include the MACC Fund Research Center, the Medical College Clinics at Froedtert, the fourth floor addition to the Medical Education Building and, in the fall of 1998, the opening of the Medical College Cancer Center and the Health Research Center, the new front door to the College. The $36 million Health Research Center focuses in large part on medical informatics and genetic research. It also features a 30,000-square foot addition to the library, a 312-seat auditorium, conference facilities, a new bookstore and new offices for the Alumni Association.
Undoubtedly one of the most major campus developments has been the emergence of Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital as the only adult, acute-care hospital on campus. The Medical College's 60-year partnership with John L. Doyne Hospital (previously known as Milwaukee County Medical Complex and Milwaukee County General Hospital) ended in 1995 after the Milwaukee County Board chose to become a purchaser, not a provider, of health care.
All of this evolved from the tradition of excellence born in 1893 with the founding of the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons. The tradition continued with the formation of the Marquette University School of Medicine in 1913. In 1970, the school was transformed into the Medical College of Wisconsin — restructured as a private, freestanding college, independent from Marquette. Its commitment to excellence, however, has never wavered.
As noted in the history on the College, the old Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Milwaukee College of Medicine eventually became the Marquette University School of Medicine, which eventually became the Medical College of Wisconsin. While the names have changed, it is still the same school – the only private medical school in Wisconsin.
In 1925 the Marquette University Medical Alumni Association was incorporated and it came under the umbrella of the Marquette University General Alumni Association.
In 1967, when Marquette severed its ties with the medical school, the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association was faced with the decision of where the Association fit administratively. An independent Alumni Association was established to incorporate the graduates from the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons, the Marquette University School of Medicine, and the Medical College of Wisconsin.
The name "Marquette-Medical College of Wisconsin Alumni Association" was selected and in 1989 the name was changed to "Medical College of Wisconsin-Marquette Medical Alumni Association." On January 1, 1996, the Association changed to a non-dues-paying organization with the hopes that more alumni would feel a part of the organization and become more involved with the Association's programs and activities. Another important change came with the approval of revised bylaws on May 10, 1996. The revision welcomed all alumni as members of the Association. This includes those alumni who received their MD, PhD, master's, Master of Public Health or did their residency training at the College or one of our affiliated hospitals. The Alumni Association is represented on the College's Board of Trustees and a variety of other committees, including the admissions committee.

Saman Mohammadi
Nov 6, 2012
The U. S. plan to overthrow the regime in Syria was drawn up before the Arab Spring, so the discourse of the Arab Spring does not apply to Syria. Attempting to use the popular appeal of the Arab Spring to put political pressure on the Syrian regime is an act of irrationality and imperial hubris. It's like squaring a circle.
Washington's "democracy and freedom" rhetoric does not serve the best interests of the Syrian people. It is wrong that fake humanitarian activists and organizations in the West have copied the U.S. regime by saying the conflict in Syria fits into the larger "Arab Spring" narrative. They are seeking to legitimize a war of aggression against Syria by the US, Turkey, Israel, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
How can any humanitarian-minded person justify naked aggression? I know most Western human rights groups have ties to intelligence agencies, but it is also true that a lot of people who want the removal of Assad are brainwashed victims who truly believe official US statements about the depravity of Assad.
Media reports of the conflict in Syria have depicted Assad as a "butcher." The global alternative media has tried its best to correct this false impression of Assad, which is necessary for a resolution to the conflict, but the U.S. government has continued to portray Assad as an isolated and unpopular oppressor.
But this is not true.
Flynt Leverett, a former senior member of the National Security Council, explains that, "the Assad government still retains a very significant base of support within Syria—probably about half of the society," adding that, "the only way you're really going to get out of this conflict is through a negotiated settlement based on power sharing between the current government and parts of the opposition. But the opposition, egged on by its external supporters, refuses to pursue the only way that you could get out of this conflict." [1].
The view that there is a popular armed revolution in Syria is false and has no relation to the reality on the ground in Syria. Those who make blanket assertions about the character of the opposition in Syria are flat out wrong. They remind me of former President Bush's and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's loony ideological statements about the regional repercussions of the US invasion of Iraq. They tried to justify the US-caused destruction and suffering in that country by saying they were creating a new and democratic Middle East.
I thought the crazies left Washington when Obama was elected in November, but his administration has only intensified the craziness and expanded imperial operations. The Obama administration's determination to forcibly change the regime in Syria from the outside is very strong. But in the process, U.S. officials are rewriting history to make their case. On October 31, 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton misrepresented the nature of the conflict in Syria and the strength of the opposition to the regime, saying:
And there needs to be an opposition leadership structure that is dedicated to representing and protecting all Syrians. It is not a secret that many inside Syria are worried about what comes next. They have no love lost for the Assad regime, but they worry, rightly so, about the future. And so there needs to be an opposition that can speak to every segment and every geographic part of Syria. And we also need an opposition that will be on record strongly resisting the efforts by extremists to hijack the Syrian revolution. There are disturbing reports of extremists going into Syria and attempting to take over what has been a legitimate revolution against a repressive regime for their own purposes. [2].
It is not true that the armed uprising against the Syrian regime that started in March 2011 was legitimate to begin with. The U.S. government, Western powers, the Gulf monarchies, and others were very much involved in financing the initial violent attacks against the regime and giving weapons to foreign fighters, most of whom areJihadist terrorists.
The "Free Syrian Army" was not hijacked by Islamic extremists, as Hillary Clinton absurdly says, it was led by them from the very beginning, thanks to U.S. and Saudi efforts. So it is a ridiculous comment because it contradicts the facts.
All the evidence shows that the FSA never had any real internal, popular support in Syria. It is a foreign-backed terror organization that consists of radical Jihadists, not an indigenous, guerrilla, revolutionary army.
The only resistance force in Syria that has popular legitimacy within its community is the PKK. The Saudi-linked Jihadists are not native to Syria. Syria's rich, diverse, and tolerant culture is the antidote to the racism and sectarianism of the Wahhabi Islamists who lead the FSA.
A week and a half ago, Kurdish protesters came under attack from the Jihadist terrorists in the FSA because they did not want them around their area. The local groups affiliated with the PKK responded by driving them out of the Kurdish neighbourhoods.
I wrote about this emerging conflict last week. It has been mischaracterized as an "Arab-Kurdish" conflict, but this is not the case. Most of the FSA members are not even Syrian. It is a political, territorial, and ideological conflict, not an ethnic one.
Some people believe the conflict between the PKK and the FSA is a diversion to the anti-Assad war, but this is a mistaken view because there was never a cohesive political coalition against the Syrian regime. The idea that narrow-minded Jihadists and independent-minded Kurds will create common ground and wage war together is laughable. It is not going to happen.
To sum up, it is natural for totalitarian states like the US government to do violence to the facts of history. If it can financially and politically afford to ignore reality then it will. But humanitarian and peace activists cannot afford to ignore the human consequences of U.S. policy in Syria. Millions of innocent Syrians are paying the price.
What's tragic is that the U.S. destruction of Syria is totally unnecessary. It is a waste of human resources. And it is a crime against humanity. Washington's anti-Assad stance is entirely motivated by imperial interests. We must make sure not to fall into emotional traps set by cynical U.S. officials whose motivations and goals have nothing to do with bringing democracy to Syria.

|1:00 pm
|2:30 pm
Since May 2013, a new wave of plastic pollution has been uncovered by Melbourne BayKeeper volunteers in the form of 'nurdles'. Hundreds of these plastic pre-production pellets have been found regularly on St Kilda Beaches, and more recently, in streams flowing into the Bay.
EcoCentre Director and Port Phillip BayKeeper, Neil Blake, will give a talk about this spreading problem and then lead people on a plastic pollution field survey.
We need ongoing support to measure plastic pollution in the Bay. The aim is to clearly show there's an ongoing issue and to call on government agencies and plastics manufacturers to be part of the solution.
Venue: Port Phillip EcoCentre, Cnr Blessington & Herbert Streets, St Kilda (in the St Kilda Botanical Gardens)
Date: Saturday 19 October
Time: 1pm-2.30pm

Pedal-Powered Author Comes to Yarraville
Posted in Events by Kate Archdeacon on September 16th, 2013
|20 September , 2013
|12:30 pm
|1:30 pm
On Friday 20th September at 12:30pm come and hear author Greg Foyster speak about his inspiring pedal-powered detour from the rat race – Changing Gears – at The Sun Bookshop in Yarraville.
Changing Gears is a high-spirited adventure book charting Greg Foyster's remarkable, life-transforming cycling challenge he undertook with his girlfriend Sophie from Hobart to Cairns on a quest to find out if we can be happier with less.
Cycling for more than 8 months and 6500 kilometres, Greg and Sophie conducted over 80 in-depth interviews with lone visionaries and engaged communities alike, all seeking a more sustainable life. There's the barefoot monk who walked from Gold Coast to Townsville with only three robes and an alms bowl, the man who lived in the bush for 20 years without electricity and went on 'historical treks' using 18th century tools and clothing, the 'modern swagman' who wandered the highway for three decades, and many more DIY downshifters with fascinating stories to tell.
Greg tells a riveting yarn – engaging, self-effacing and with many laugh-out-loud moments. The 6586km bike expedition was a million miles from Greg's comfortable former lifestyle as an ad man – the furthest he'd cycled in one sitting was 50km and the longest he'd been in a tent was three days at a music festival. Along the way he confronted his own character flaws, contended with bum blisters, tasted road kill and got by on only two changes of clothing.
Greg and Sophie are now on a 60-day, 2000-kilometre pedal-powered book tour, visiting 30 bookshops from Melbourne through regional VIC, ACT & NSW before finishing in Sydney in mid November. Don't miss out on this chance to hear Greg and Sophie talk about their fascinating stories of life on the road.

Printing Australia's Largest Solar Cells: Dr Scott Watkins, CSIRO
Posted in Events by Mark Ogge on August 30th, 2013
|2 September , 2013
|6:30 pm
|8:00 pm
Dr Scott Watkins (Stream Leader, Organic Photovoltaics, Materials Science and Engineering at CSIRO), is developing next generation organic solar cells. He will talk about the new manufacturing facility in Melbourne printing solar cells at the size of an A3 sheet of paper, which are one of the largest in the world.
The Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium (VICOSC) has developed processes that use spray coating, reverse gravure and slot-dye coating as well as screen printing, and the technology that has gone from producing solar cells the size of a fingernail to 10cm square in three years. Dr Watkins says the new $200,000 printer has allowed the VICOSC team to jump to producing solar cells on sheets 30cm wide – right here in Melbourne!
The flexible, organic PV cells have applications in consumer devices and small integrated electronics, and into the future, they could be coated onto buildings, into windows and on roofs. Dr Watkins will join us to explain organic PV technology and how the printing process works.
Time: 6:30 – 8pm Monday 2 September 2013

The 44-year-old Furyk steamrolled his way to a bogey-free 65 in the third round at Royal Montreal on Saturday to go to 15-under-par 195 and take a three-shot lead over South African Tim Clark, while crowd favourite Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., saw his hopes sag with a three-putt on the 18th to fall seven strokes off the lead.
A forecast of thunderstorms may complicate the final round on Sunday, but Furyk is in solid position for his first PGA win since the Tour Championship in 2010.
He said a key to closing out the US$5.7 million tournament will be "not really worrying about what position I'm in. Not looking at the leaderboard too much. Going out there and trying to attack the golf course the same way I have the first three days.
"I noticed there aren't many leaderboards on the course, that might be a good thing."
He will play the final round in a threesome with Clark, whose only Tour win was the 2010 Players Championship, and Kyle Stanley, whose lone win was at the 2012 Phoenix Open.
Clark had the low round of the day at 64 to move to 12-under. Stanley has been near the lead all week and shot 68 to take third place at 10-under par.
Furyk is a 16-time winner on Tour and will have the edge in experience. But he cautioned that the soft greens and fairways at Royal Montreal have made for low scoring and that anyone close is a threat.
"The guys that are out there who have played well for three days are all capable," said Furyk. "Timmy Clark's got a lot of experience. Kyle's won before.
"The guys out there have all played well. They've played good rounds. You saw Graham and I shoot 7-under (on Saturday). There is a good round out there, so guys can go out there and shoot a low one and definitely put heat on the last group."
Jamie Lovemark, whose best finish so far this season was a tie for 28th in January, shot 67 to take fourth place at 9-under.
But the galleries were watching DeLaet, Canada's top player who is trying to become the first Canadian to win his national open since Pat Fletcher in 1954.
But after raising hopes as he and Furyk tied the course record playing together with Matt Kuchar in the second round, he managed only an even-par 70 to stay at 8 under in a tie with Joe Durant (67), Scott Brown (69) and Tim Petrovic (72).
The 32-year-old DeLaet missed a par putt on the second and but kept himself afloat until he sank a long putt for eagle on the par-5 12th. He followed with a birdie on the 14th to get to 10 under, but then put his tee shot on the 15th into a hazard for bogey.
The crowd gave him a rousing ovation as the bearded DeLaet walked up the 18th fairway, but he got too aggressive on a 10-foot birdie putt and then missed a short one for par.
"I kept plugging away," said DeLaet. "I knew I wasn't that far off and if I could just finish a couple under par maybe I'd have a shot (on Sunday.)
"Disappointing to three-putt the last. I really wanted to make that birdie and got over-aggressive. But it was a fun day. The crowds were amazing out there. Hopefully, I can do something special."
If DeLaet was dejected or angry at himself, it didn't show when he met the media off the 18th green. And he wasn't about to concede defeat despite the gap with the leaders.
"Jim is obviously in control of his game right now, but if someone posts something — 13, 14 or 15 — you never know what could happen," he said. "I'm just going to give it my best. I've got 35 million people pulling for me, so that's pretty cool."
Furyk won the world's third-oldest national championship in 2006 at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club and followed with a win in 2007 at Angus Glen in Markham, Ont.
A third win would put him in a tie for second all-time with Tommy Armour (1927, 1930 and 1934), San Snead (1938, 1940 and 1941) and Lee Trevino (1971, 1977 and 1979). Leo Diegel won four titles in the 1920s.
Coming off a final round 65 to finish fourth at the British Open last Sunday, Furyk has had only one bogey, on the fourth hole of the first round, at Royal Montreal.
The third round was more complicated, but he cited up-and-down saves for par on the first, sixth, 11th and 16th for keeping his hot play alive.
"The first couple of days I struck the ball really well and never had myself in too much trouble," he said. "Today I found a way to score and get the ball in the hole."
In his career, Furyk has won 10 of 25 times when leading after three rounds.
Clark got off to a phenomenal start, with a birdie on the first and an eagle on the second, and then ran off three birdies on the final six holes. The 38-year-old's experience likely makes him the most dangerous challenger.
"It's always great to get off to a good start," said Clark. "Saturdays are normally the toughest day to score on, so you dream of a start like that."
Clark is coming off a strong showing at the John Deere Classic, where he tied for fifth, helping to turn around a middling season that included a problem with his left elbow that needed a cortisone injection.
"Right now I feel good and I am able to swing how I want to," he said. "Three months ago I started to hit the good again, but I just wasn't scoring. Finally, the last few tournaments, I've started to score."
With thunderstorms in the forecast, start times were moved up two hours to 8 a.m. ET, with the players in threesomes rather than the usual pairs for the final round. The third round was played in breezy, overcast weather, with only a brief, light rain in the afternoon.
Amateur Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., rebounded from a 75 on Friday with a 68 to go to 2 under. He was 4 under through 17 holes, but the big hitter put his tee shot in a hazard and hit a weak chip shot for double bogey on the 18th.
He was happy with his week so far however, which included an opening-round 65.
"Just getting out here and experiencing what the PGA guys experience every week is pretty awesome," the 23-year-old said. "My goal for the week was just to come out here and have some good rounds.
"Just like any other tournament, if I play good I'll make the cut. I had a good day and a bad day, but I made the cut, which was awesome. It's great to play two more rounds on the weekend."
Brad Fritsch of Ottawa shot a bogey-free 67 to move to 3 under for the tournament, while Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., was at 3 under after a 68. David Hearn of Brampton, Ont., was also at 3 under after a 70.
Mike Weir of Bright's Grove, Ont., was 1 over on the day and for the tournament.
"No bogeys out here with the wind blowing a bit — I played nicely," said Fritsch, whose sand shot on the 18th helped save par. "Burned the edge a lot today, but I also had some good up and downs.
"It was nice to get up and down on the last, just to make sure it was bogey-free."

The growing demand for food banks seen in Derbyshire has been confirmed by a national report published by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
The findings back up Derbyshire County Council's evidence that an increasing number of local people are now relying on food parcels.
DCC cabinet member for health and communities, Cllr Dave Allen, said: "This report underlines how many of our residents are struggling under the pressure of a national cost of living crisis.
"It's appalling that in one of the world's richest economies people are allowed to fall through the net of welfare support."
DCC have recently handed out cash to county food banks to help them respond to the rise in demand.
Cllr Allen added: "We took this action to ward off a potential health crisis.
"As well as the extra money we're also supporting appeals to encourage local people to volunteer at food banks and donate food and are arranging for some of our libraries to act as food collection points."

GSA Network Unite! petition tool empowers school-based Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) clubs to advocate for restorative approaches to school discipline
San Francisco – Today, the national youth empowerment organization Gay-Straight Alliance Network (GSA Network) launched a campaign for GSA clubs to demand their districts adopt the recommendations around restorative practices outlined in the educators' toolkit released Thursday by prominent educator and advocate organizations. The #GSAs4Justice campaign empowers youth to push back against punitive discipline policies that create a school-to-prison pipeline for youth of color, youth with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth.
"All young people should have the opportunity to go to a safe school, be themselves, and graduate. But stories like that of Jewlyes Gutierrez – a transgender girl who faced battery charges in November for defending herself against bullying – send the message to LGBTQ youth of color that their lives are disposable and that simply trying to get an education carries a risk of jail time," said Carolyn Laub, Executive Director of Gay-Straight Alliance Network. "GSA youth leaders demand an end to both hostile school environments and school policies and practices that criminalize young people."
In 2012, GSA Network, the Advancement Project, and the Alliance for Educational Justice issued a report, Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right, detailing the harm caused by zero tolerance responses to bullying. This past fall, 28 statewide organizations, members of GSA Network's National Association, issued a statement supporting restorative approaches to school discipline as the best solution for LGBTQ youth.
The #GSAs4Justice campaign encourages schools to adopt the best practices outlined in "Restorative Practices: Fostering Healthy Relationships & Promoting Positive Discipline in Schools," a toolkit for educators released last Thursday by the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, the Advancement Project, and the Opportunity to Learn Campaign.
American Federation of Teacher's President Randi Weingarten reiterated her organization's concern over discipline disparities and stressed the need for alternative codes of conduct in schools across the country: "We cannot close the achievement gap in this country until we close the discipline gap. Our friends at the GSA Network understand the importance of creating healthy school environments where educators and students alike can succeed. By adopting the recommendations outlined in our toolkit, we can reduce disparate impact by having fair administration of codes of conduct, vigilant monitoring of the intersection of bullying and harassment of students and disproportionate response for code infractions."
Youth can join the #GSAs4Justice campaign through GSA Network Unite!, a new petition platform for GSA clubs to connect with and support each others' campaigns across the country.

This week we kicked off High Line Live! – our new program series that brings live theater, performance, and music to the park, thanks to the generous support of MetLife Foundation. More than 150 people joined us on Thursday, June 7 for the Hudson Guild Theater Company debut of their new production, The Sleeping Beauty on the High Line, a contemporary dance adaptation of Tchaikovsky's classic The Sleeping Beauty. The performance coincided with the first anniversary of the opening of Section 2, making it an extra special occasion to gather with some of our closest neighbors.
Matthew Westerby choreographed the modern dance piece, which featured dancers of all ages and experience levels – many from our own community. The performance was produced by Jim Furlong, Director of Arts at Hudson Guild, a multi-service community center serving those who live, work, or go to school in Chelsea, with a focus on those in need. The Sleeping Beauty is one of many public programs we've presented at the High Line in partnership with Hudson Guild.
Join us after the jump to see more photos from The Sleeping Beauty on the High Line.
High Line Live! continues this week with Step to the High Line – a four-day festival of step performances celebrating the power and energy of our city's youth. Later this month, the High Line Live! series continues with ¡Arriba! – sunset dance party featuring live salsa music by some of the city's best Latin performers.

Center Cited on State Budget
The Mackinac Center was cited today by World Magazine in a story about the Michigan Legislature's failure to balance the fiscal 2010 budget and its self-created $2.8 billion overspending crisis.
The magazine correctly points out that when the Legislature addressed its $1.4 billion overspending crisis in 2007 by passing a tax increase to balance the fiscal 2008 budget, Center analysts called the move "job-killing." Indeed, Michigan's unemployment has more than doubled since the tax hike was passed Oct. 1, 2007.
