A chap showed off some new gadgets and gizmos the channel should be interested in a presentation called Fresh. This involved demoing products disties might be interested in carrying in their line.
One was Phone Halo, a product launched at CES which he claimed was new. The idea is certainly not new – we were talking about this stuff which lets your keys not be separated from your pockets nor your cigarettes from your lighter, we expect.
Next new thing up is Trendnet, a Californian company which is presenting two new products powerline and wireless products including a 450Mbps wireless router. And a 450Mbps wireless adaptor. That allows the transfer of high speed transfers inside the house. The powerline product allows transfers of 500Mbps.
And now to Tunebug. Tunebug has a sample checker which turns almost any surface into a speaker. He showed off a product that fits to almost every kind of helmet while you're cycling around. It turns your crash helmet into a loudspeaker. It's a Bluetooth device.
Next up a man from Arctic who showed off a box called Senses that combines Blu-ray, PC and everything else built into a slim box. The box hasn't a fan and is intended for multimedia in the home. "You buy it, you plug it, you use it," said the man.
Next up was Suneet Tuli, the CEO of Datawind who showed of a series of netbooks and tablets all of which come with SIMs and stuff embedded in them that give bundled access. They include cellular modems too, and sold in 34 different countries. The devices come with access pre-bundled. It's aimed at entry level customers who don't have access to the internet. The company sells 100,000 units in the UK. There are no contracts or monthly fees for the first year. Customers are tied into recurring revenues, or residuals, as the channel calls them.
Tricklestar showed off a device that is a digital thermostat to replace mechanical thermostats, and can include a schedule. This is odd. I have a digital thermostat like this in my house, made by Bosch. It's wireless like this one. We must investigate what's new about this.
Movea has embedded a motion sensor into a mouse – it claims it owns the technology behind the Wii. The product is called the Gyration Airmouse. You can operate your PC using a gesture system to do things like choose files, change volume and surf the web. Gestures can be assigned to any functions.
Next came David Lock from Vuzix who was showing off the Wrap 920AR – providing a "cinema in your pocket". It gives a virtual 67 inch screen in glasses that provide augmented 3D.
Last up Fred Brown showed off his own product called Fitbit, a health and fitness product that can be placed anywhere on your body and tracks all of your movements. It's wirelessly picked up by a base station. It also tracks your sleep data that tells you your "net sleep".
Net sleep? We've heard of it here in Monaco – the yields and margins are not very high.

My long overdue concluding reviews and rankings of Marvel's Season One!
Hulk: (Fred Van Lente, Tom Fowler) Hulk SMASH in his Season One debut, written by Fred Van Lente and drawn by Tom Fowler. The story reworks Bruce Banner's initial accident and Hulk's first few… outings, let's call them. Featuring such classic characters as the lovely Betty Ross, her father General "Thunderbolt" Ross, and perennial sidekick Rick Jones, Hulk's origins are given a much more science fiction vibe than standard superhero fare.
Much like the Doctor Strange story (see below), this is a completely unique story drawing minimally if at all from the original source material. Hulk faces an organization known only as "THEM", a precursor to A.I.M. perhaps, and a monster that can best be described as similar to a living cancer, absorbing the life out of everything it touches in a very eerie and rather disturbing manner. In addition to this, Bruce Banner must learn to balance his double life and keep his Hulk-ness a secret from those he wants to trust. General Ross is out for Big Green's blood as always but has a new way of going about getting it, which I won't spoil. Most of the characters are actually quite likeable in this adventure. Apart from them our secondary monster-villain, who is previously a jerk military man, and Rick Jones, who originally served as Hulk's Jiminy Cricket, is now a troubled-teen stereotype.
Out of all of the Season One books, this book has one of the most unique art styles I've ever seen. Everything seems slightly melted somehow. It fits in very well with the science-fiction origins of our hero. Hulk is a big green ball of hurt looking forward to smashing everything he can. I like the look they've given him here. Something else that quite stands out in this book is the use of colors. Each setting is clearly defined through colors; the military complex is very sterile and neutral, the desert is rich with oranges and reds, and THEM's headquarters is a creepy pinkish color. Another nice touch is the color choices during Hulk's first fight. Everything is tinted with hints of green and purple, an obvious homage to the classic purple pants of Hulk's early days. Say what you will, but I'll always think of Hulk wearing purple pants. It's a fun little science-y adventure; pick it up for something a little different.
Ant-Man: (Tom DeFalco, Horacio Domingues) Okay, I have a REALLY big problem with bugs, so doing this review was rather hard for me… As such, it's going to be a bit shorter than the other reviews I've done so far. Just going to preface with that; nothing against Ant-Man, I just have problems with insects…
Tom DeFalco and Horacio Domingues present us with the origins of Henry "Hank" Pym, the Ant-Man. Through what I can only assume to be an entirely original story, we learn of Pym's abilities and mastery of technology, his sorrowful family history, and his growing (no pun intended) paranoia. We even get to meet his "sidekick" of sorts, fellow scientist and future hero in his own right Bill Foster. Their obviously evil boss Elihas Starr, aka Egghead, steals their technology to communicate with insects, and all hell breaks loose.
I can only imagine that DeFalco had a hard time writing this story. Not only did he have to modernize a classic character, but he effectively had to "reintroduce" a character that not many people had been introduced to in the first place. As such, the story is fairly generic. Mad scientist boss whose intentions are quite obviously evil (but only our heroes notice this), revenge, big battle with villain who has abused his powers, Pym's father being emotionally distant until it's too late… There are quite a few clichés in this story, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Given the unfamiliarity of the character, I suppose it helps to use familiar story elements.
When it comes to the artwork of this book, one of the first things that came to mind was Sonic the Hedgehog, probably because Egghead looks like a shaved version of Dr. Robotnik. The characters all look like action figures, which I actually quite like. It gives the story an element of fun and humor, something that the writing also tries to play up. The colors are vibrant and bright, heavy on the primary colors if I recall correctly. You'll have to excuse me as I'm doing this from memory. I just can't stand to look at the closeups of bugs again. They're quite well-drawn, but they also gave me nightmares. Yes, really. Apart from giving me trouble sleeping, it's not a bad read, but not the best of the bunch either. Give it a whirl if you want to learn more about Ant-Man.
Doctor Strange: (Greg Pak, Emma Rios, Alvaro Lopez) Our final episode of Marvel's Season One features the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Doctor Stephen Strange. The story involves Strange finding his beliefs in magic and the Vishanti, as well as how he and Wong became companions. Written by Greg Pak of Planet Hulk acclaim with art by Emma Rios and Alvaro Lopez, this book weaves a mystical tale of magic and mayhem. Famous surgeon Stephen Strange heads to the Himalayas to use the healing powers of the Ancient One, a wizard of the highest caliber. The Ancient One deems Strange unworthy of healing unless he trains at the temple. He is paired with another student, Wong. Their adventures lead to Strange gaining faith in the Vishanti and becoming worthy of the magic therein.
The primary plot is a series of vignettes involving magic rings which hold the power to contain the evil demon Dormammu, and Strange and his companions must retrieve them before the Ancient One's traitorous protégé Dormo. Each ring teaches the group a different lesson in harnessing the magic; cunning, humility, and faith. One of the main points of the story is the developing relationship between Wong and Strange, which is actually told quite well. Wong has the belief in the Vishanti, but not the discipline; Strange has the discipline, but not the faith. The yin and yang of their pairing is written very naturally and builds at a realistic pace. They start off as foes, but they slowly realize that they need each other to balance their respective lives. Even if you were to be confused by the primary story (as I was at times), it's easy to follow Strange and Wong's partnership forming.
As for the art style, imagine if you put David Aja's flowing kung fu from Iron Fist, John Romita's (elder or younger) character modeling, and Edvard Munch's palette in a blender, poured into a long, colorful glass, and garnished the cocktail with a hint of magic. The splash panels are quite detailed and pleasing to the eye, but they can be a bit cluttered in places. The overall style of the book is difficult to describe; it's linear, but also fluid. The characters are angular, but the magic and environments are free-form and graceful. It's really quite pretty, I can't think of any major points against the art in this book. Definitely a good place to start for those curious in the mystic side of the Marvel Universe.
Rankings and final thoughts:
1. Daredevil (I may be biased, he is my favorite character after all)
2. Dr. Strange (Pleasantly surprised, quite enjoyable)
3. Fantastic Four (A nice update of Marvel's First Family, albeit a bit flawed)
4. Hulk (A new angle on Mr. Green-jeans, worth giving a look)
5. X-Men (A noble attempt at condensing the X-iverse, but still falls a bit short)
6. Ant-Man (The bugs, man... the BUGS...)
7. Spider-Man (Placed so because it didn't need to be made at all; it's not bad, it's just unnecessary)

Summercon 2017 will be held at Littlefield, Brooklyn
This year Summercon is returning to Littlefield in Brooklyn, New York. The conference will span 2 days, Friday June 23rd through Saturday June 24th, and run from 11am to 5pm on both days, followed by a 5pm-7pm happy hour.
Littlefield is located at 635 Sackett Street, close to the Union Street R.
BUY TICKETS HERE [http://www.littlefieldnyc.com/event/910939-summercon-2016-brooklyn/]
It's a pretty laid back space with a main conference area and social area, and most importantly, adjoined by the bar. Summercon was held at Littlefield back in 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2016 and we had a pretty good time.
It is easily accessible by public transit, there's access to a wide variety of dining choices in the nearby areas of Park Slope and Carol Gardens, and there's even a couple of nearby choices for lodging, including a Holiday Inn Express and a budget Super 8 just right around the corner. A subway ride from Union or Barclay's Center (previously Atlantic/Pacific) can take you to Manhattan within 4-6 stops (depending on the line).
Here's a picture of their courtyard along with some dog.

Battlestar Galactica Final Season Split In Two
- By
- 49 Comments
[UPDATE: Click here if you're looking for our: Battlestar Galactica Finale Review ]
So why do I only have half a Viper pictured? That's because Battlestar Galactica is having its final season split into two.
You have got to be frakkin' kidding me! (Read that with the angry, gravel-sounding voice of Col. Tigh in your head because it's the only way to interpret that line.)
As I noted here back in April, I think one of the biggest mistakes in recent history of Sci Fi television is the Sci-Fi Channel splitting up the final 20 episodes of the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica into two, separate, 10-episode runs with tonight's (Friday, June 13th) episode being the "mid-season" break.
Oh but wait, that was the good news. Not only is this episode the breaking point for the show, but we're going to have to wait until the beginning of next year, that's right, 2009, before the show starts up again.
The Sci-Fi Channel didn't want to tell anyone themselves, so they gave Ronald D. Moore the dour job of breaking the news to the media last Wednesday night at a screening.
The reasoning given for the show not starting back up until next year is "end of the year competition" such as new fall television series', baseball and football.
I can sort of understand new shows competing even if The Sci-Fi Channel doesn't have a ton of competition Friday nights at 10 pm, but come on, baseball and football? Am I that dense or more to the point, how can daytime sports impact a Friday-night-at-10PM sci-fi show? Someone goofed when making up that excuse. (Yes, I said excuse and I explain a little later why)
Moore was quoted as being apologetic when he announced this, and I'm sure he not only feels bad, but is anxious to see his vision of the series realized for the fans and for the actors.
When NBC Universal exec Bonnie Hammer was asked when, exactly, Battlestar Galactica will be back on, she replied: "We don't have a locked in schedule yet," but added "We just know that it's always better to leave the fans just titillated a little bit, but it will definitely be back."
Titillated my… sorry.
So why don't I believe anything Bonnie Hammer says and why am I going to use her name repeatedly?
The first reason: Even though the Sci-Fi Channel has trumpeted this as being the show's FINAL season, they've gone and split it up, making this the next-to-last final season, and 2009 will be the final-final season. Ten episode seasons suck Sci-Fi! Do you hear the words that are coming out of my mouth?
The other reason I don't believe Bonnie Hammer:
In September of 2007, (Hmm, that far back? Sounds more like a plan than a response to present-day market pressure) in Atlanta at Dragon Con, it was reported that the show would be split into two 10-episode segments, with the second set of episodes airing in February of 2009.
Jamie Bamber (Lee Adama) gave up the ghost on this one and he's quoted as saying something I loved reading:
"the channel is not used to producing high quality material and now that it has a hit, it doesn't know what to do with it."
Bamber went a bit further and said that is how Sci-Fi essentially gets two final seasons for the cost of one. No wonder we don't see him in other NBC projects these days! (Side note: He's in two new projects. One from Distant Horizons and another from Marathon Productions.)
I suppose we're going to have to really wait to see who the final Cylon is, won't we?
At this point, I don't care what they say. Do You?

I am in process of getting it in top shape, cleaned carb, but it was clean, gas lines and plug wires are like new. Good impeller, just need to change the grease. I spirted a little gas oil mix in cyl's and tried to get it to fire. It did not?? I pulled plugs and checked to see if there was spark could not get any spark in either cyl?? I pulled flywheel and everything coild, points, condensors and wires look factory new. I would like to know if there is a way to test the coils, or if anyone has any suggestions. Points are set at .20 and are clean and shinney, coils are set like from what I have found on this site tight and flush with the mount. I just hate to change coils and find that they were not the problem. Appreciate the help

Joe Chen loves to eat animals' testicles?
Recently, a title known as 'Wish to Destroy Joe Chen's (陳喬恩) Video' has been circulating around online and it turns out that the netizens managed to trace back the show, The Global Fantasies hosted by Joe Chen 14 years ago. In the video, Joe disclosed she loved to eat animals' testicles very much.
With the widespread video and news report from Taiwanese media, Joe finally replied by leaving a long message about 'testicles' on Weibo six days ago. She explained she loved to eat chicken's testicles which is a Hakka dish and it helped to improve the skin. Joe did not understand about the exaggerated reactions from the netizens and dislike the netizens' replies on her behalf. She also clarified she did not like to eat sheep's testicles and think of deleting the video as well. Hopefully, it will stop circulating around after seeing Joe's explanation.

Disease-Causing Allele-Specific Silencing by RNA Interference
National Institute of Neuroscience, NCNP, 4-1-1 Ogawahigashi, Kodaira, Tokyo 187-8502, Japan

AbstractSmall double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) of approximately 21-nucleotides in size, referred to as small interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes, can induce sequence-specific posttranscriptional gene silencing, or RNA interference (RNAi). Since chemically synthesized siRNA duplexes were found to induce RNAi in mammalian cells, RNAi has become a powerful reverse genetic tool for suppressing the expression of a gene of interest in mammals, including human, and its application has been expanding to various fields. Recent studies further suggest that synthetic siRNA duplexes have the potential for specifically inhibiting the expression of an allele of interest without suppressing the expression of other alleles, i.e., siRNA duplexes likely confer allele-specific silencing. Such gene silencing by RNAi is an advanced technique with very promising applications. In this review, I would like to discuss the potential utility of allele-specific silencing by RNAi as a therapeutic method for dominantly inherited diseases, and describe possible improvements in siRNA duplexes for enhancing their efficacy.

CHINO HILLS – City Council members approved to spend up to $500,000 in their continued fight against high-voltage power lines in the city.
The announcement made by City Manager Mike Fleager came out of the City Council's closed session during Tuesday's meeting.
The additional funds will now have the city spending more than $3 million in their fight against Southern California Edison.
The $2.1 billion Tehachapi project aims to carry wind-generated electricity from Kern County to the Los Angeles Basin. The project was originally approved by the PUC in 2009.
The project is part of a state mandate to generate more sustainable energy by 2015.
City officials and the grassroots group Hope for the Hills have pushed for the portion of the line that runs through the city be placed underground.
Up until Tuesday, the city has spent about $3 million battling Edison in a lawsuit insisting the right-of-way is too narrow for the proposed towers and that it causes safety hazards.
Edison had started installing the towers about five miles into the right-of-way through Chino Hills.
Highlights from Tueday's meeting can be found on reporter Canan's Twitter feed @ChinoValleyNow.

10 Methods to Break in New Shoes—The Worst to the Best
#10—Wearing Wet Socks
What you need:
- Pair of wet socks
- Shoes
- Wet a pair of socks and put them on.
- Put on the shoes and walk around until they start to give.
Benefits: easy, free (assuming you have things on hand).
Drawbacks: Well, it goes without saying that the first drawback is discomfort. Not only are you wearing shoes that pinch your feet, but the feeling of wet socks against your skin while you are doing it is not something that I am willing to do for any length of time. Additionally, this method seems to have a very low success rate. The greatest drawback about this method is the fact that many shoe materials will be ruined if they become wet, such as suede and leather.
Bottom Line: There are plenty of other methods to try. This one doesn't seem worth the discomfort or risk to the shoe.

Is there anyone on the Washington Redskins Defense that is worth 8 million dollars a year? The defense ranked 30th in the NFL last season. The team just sent a clear message today with the release of DeAngelo Hall. They said we aren't going to pay that kind of money anymore to a guy that can't produce.
Hall had two years remaining on the six-year, $54 million deal he signed at the end of the 2008 season. Did he ever deserve such a lucrative deal? Sure he had 39 career picks in 133 games. What about all the blown coverage he had?
Ask yourself, where is hall going to go and make 8 million dollars to play the way he played last season? In the NFL you are only as good as your last season. Hall and the Redskins defense wasn't very good as a whole last year. They have to play better this season to lighten the load on RGIII.

No commander in the Army of Northern Virginia suffered more damage to his reputation at Gettysburg than did Brig. Gen. Alfred Holt Iverson. In little more than an hour during the early afternoon of July 1, 1863, much of his brigade (the 5th, 12th, 20th, and 23rd North Carolina regiments) was slaughtered in front of a stone wall on Oak Ridge. Amid rumors that he was a drunk, a coward, and had slandered his own troops, Iverson was stripped of his command less than a week after the battle and before the campaign had even ended. Read More...

This editorial will appear in Thursday's print edition.
Doubts about corn ethanol are finally translating into votes in Congress.
The U.S. Senate last week voted 73-27 to repeal a $5 billion tax credit for refiners who blend ethanol into their gasoline.
Don't hold your breath waiting for the $5 billion to return to the public purse. The measure was an amendment to a bill that's doomed in the Senate, but the lopsided approval margin shows that Republicans and Democrats alike are getting fed up with a particularly appalling form of corporate welfare.
Presidential candidates and Corn Belt politicians want to stay on the good side of heartland agribusiness; their solicitude has resulted in astounding subsidies that industry doesn't need and the nation can't afford.
There's the $5 billion we lose on the 45-cent-a-gallon tax credits for refiners. There's also a 54-cent tariff on imported biofuels, which effectively prevents Brazil for selling us ethanol it refines from sugar cane, a cheaper source than corn. The Senate voted last week to kill that turkey as well.
On top of those supports, Congress has imposed a requirement that refiners add 36 billion gallons of biofuels into auto fuel by 2022 (the current requirement is about 14 billion gallons).
Genuinely benign sources of ethanol – such as cellulosic alcohol not refined from food crops – would account for much of the 36 billion gallons, but the mandate would still give agribusiness a lucrative false market for their product.
The persistence of ethanol subsidies is a testament to the raw political power of Big Corn. They make no sense except as a windfall for the Midwest.
Though billed as a green, renewable fuel, many analysts have concluded that the production of corn ethanol results in a net increase of carbon in the atmosphere.
Because growing corn is fertilizer-intensive, large quantities of chemicals are washed from corn fields into the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico, where they wreak havoc with marine ecologies.
People also go hungry because 40 percent of America's corn harvests are being turned into fuel. The World Bank and five United Nations agencies have just published a study calling for the repeal of biofuel subsidies around the world because of their impact on international food prices.
Public support is justified for cellulosic alcohol and other biofuels that don't divert large quantities of crops from the human food chain. But subsidies for corn ethanol are indefensible morally and environmentally, and ought to be repealed. The Senate's vote last week was more or less symbolic; Congress should follow up with the real thing.

As a rule of thumb, we at the Guardian tend to believe that if the banking and real estate industries are against something, then we're probably in support of it. But that's not the only reason that I'm so intrigued about the possibilities of Richmond taking ownership of hundreds of foreclosed homes, using eminent domain laws as needed, to keep people from being evicted and rejuvenate the community.
Richmond officials want to take over 624 homes that are underwater in that foreclosure-plagued city, becoming the first city in the country to do so. San Bernardino had considered and rejected the idea earlier, largely because of opposition from banks and threats that they might stop lending in the city. But Richmond officials appear to be holding tough against such extortionary threats and moving forward.
KQED's Forum did an interesting segment on the situation this morning, following up a report from Democracy Now! on Tuesday (KALW also did something on this last month), with the bankers and Realtors offering up all kinds of unfounded concerns and fear mongering to confuse the issue. Because this is a truly radical action that Richmond is considering, in the best sense of that term: banks and those who control property have too much power over our lives, and it's about time a city takes some of that power back on behalf of its people.
This is like nationalizing the assets of corrupt capitalists who have gone too far in subverting the broad public interest, a populist shot over the bow of the people who consider themselves our economic masters, from Wall Street right down San Francisco's Chamber of Commerce and Association of Realtors.
As Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin told Democracy Now: "The banks sold our community predatory loans, and now they have no solution that they're presenting for this crisis. So we are stepping in to fix the situation. We're stepping in by taking these troubled loans off the hands of the banks. And we're paying them fair market value for these loans, and then we're working with the homeowners to refinance and modify loans in line with current home values. So we call on the banks to voluntarily sell us these loans. And if they don't cooperate, we will be considering eminent domain."
Just think about the possibilities of this: cities could seize all their most distressed properties, then pay fair market value (which would be at fire sale prices for rundown homes in communities with high foreclosure rates), have the residents work with city officials to turn the area around and thus substantially increase the value of those homes, and eventually sell those homes at a profit, either to their current occupants or some other city residents (choosing buyers based on social considerations, not strictly financial ones). If it works on a small-scale, it could be ramped up to larger and larger scales, with cities selling bonds to buy real assets that would only go up in value as properties get more attention than these absentee bankers have been giving them.
If predatory entrepreneurs can buy these short-sale properties and flip them for a profit, why can cities do the same thing and do some good for their people in the process?

2011 Frieda J. Behlen Scholarship Award Recipients Announced
The NYU Steinhardt Department of Occupational Therapy is pleased to announce the 2011 Frieda J. Behlen Occupational Therapy scholarship recipients- Molly Schmidt and Rebecca Fishman. These two outstanding students have each been selected to receive a $2,000 tuition award for the summer 2011 semester.
Molly Schmidt entered the Occupational Therapy program intending to focus on pediatrics, but during her time at NYU she has developed an increasing interest in hand therapy. Challenging and engaging coursework, and a fieldwork experience at a hand therapy clinic, has led her to recognize the enormous impact successful hand therapy can make. She hopes to work in an acute adult rehabilitative setting after graduation, and to spend time at a sensory gym with pediatric clients, where she can continue her interest in pediatric care.
Rebecca Fishman began her career in marketing, but left to pursue occupational therapy out of a desire to work with children and an interest in helping patients pursue greater independence in their lives. She credits her fieldwork experience for giving her increased facility with a wide range of populations and diagnoses. Her immediate career interest is in pediatrics, but she hopes eventually to work with patients who are candidates for adaptive technology, as well as those with vision deficits.
The Frieda J. Behlen Occupational Therapy Scholarship is an endowed fund created principally by gifts from NYU OT alumni to honor the memory of Frieda J. Behlen, founder and longtime chair of NYU's Department of Occupational Therapy. The award takes the form of a tuition credit applied toward summer courses.

GRAND JUNCTION — John Leyh had been in the frigid Colorado River clinging to the ice for nearly half an hour Tuesday when he looked over his shoulder and saw a rescuer swimming through the swift current.
The 65-year-old Leyh yelled, "Who's coming for me?"
The rescuer in the bulky red insulated suit yelled back, "Ryan Jordan."
Leyh recalled that, even though he was nearly frozen after slipping into the water during a goose hunt, he felt immediate relief.
"I just said to myself, 'Well, then, everything is going to be OK,' " Leyh said.
That was because Leyh's rescuer from the Grand Junction Fire Department turned out to be a young man Leyh had long known and admired.
"I just can't say enough about that kid," Leyh said Thursday after recuperating from hypothermia.
Jordan, 33, was on a youth ski team sponsored by Leyh. Leyh and his wife are close friends with the parents of Jordan's wife, Amy. Leyh's daughter, a Grand Junction obstetrician/gynecologist, delivered the Jordans' baby last year.
Jordan said when he went into the river he didn't know he was going to find an old friend. He only knew he was rescuing a hunter who didn't have long to last in the freezing water.
Jordan, who had just refreshed his ice-rescue training two weeks ago during a simulated rescue in a frozen lake, started out on a rope tether but unclipped the line in the main current of the river because it was slowing him down.
"I like water-rescue stuff. To be the one to go get this guy was exciting," said Jordan, who has received kudos in the national media for his daring rescue.
Jordan was able to pull Leyh onto the ice with the help of a foam board. He helped him walk to Leyh's nearby truck. By that time, Leyh was going into shock.
An ambulance was waiting at the end of a four-wheel-drive road, and Leyh was given warm intravenous fluids until he arrived at St. Mary's Hospital. He joked that emergency room doctors put him in a portable warming device he likened to "a broiler."
The only thing he suffered from the mishap was a temporary abnormal heart rate — and a whole lot of shaking as his temperature climbed from the 84 degrees it had dropped to in the river.
Leyh, who owns Big J Jewelry & Loan in Grand Junction, said he is feeling good enough now to go goose hunting again — something he has done on that same stretch of river for more than 30 years.
He has invited his friend and lifesaver, Jordan, to go with him.
"We'll go down there to the river and hunt and we'll reminisce on the whole deal," Leyh said.

The Best SUV I have Ever Owned
By Bradley on
Vehicle1993 Land Rover Range Rover LWB 4dr SUV AWD
ReviewI love this car so much, it will cruise down the freeeway happily at 80mph for days. And then you can follow some of your Jeep friends out into the woods, and have to pull some of them out, been there, done that :]. The visibility is amazing, and you can't beat saying, "Ok, I'll be there in a little bit, I'm in a Blue Range Rover". I love this car. If you ever have the opportunity to own one of these cars, take it.
Best FeaturesThe stereo, the seats, visibility, not seeing one everyday, the huge backseat, the experince of owning a Land Rover.
Worst FeaturesA tilt steering wheel would be nice, and the power seat adjustments in a different spot, and make some of the controls a little easier to use like the heat/ac.

Four peregrine falcon chicks have booked themselves a penthouse suite at Boston's most high-profile address ... The Stump.
In what is being treated as a first for St Botolph's Church, peregrine falcons have hatched on the building's tower.
Church officials say there is no record of peregrine falcons hatching at The Stump before and, added to this, the charity which has been monitoring the birds, the British Trust for Ornithology, says it is only in recent years the species have looked beyond their traditional home of sea cliffs to nest.
Mike Bartlett, director of operations at The Stump, said he was confident it was the first time it had happened in at least the last century or so.
He said: "We are very pleased they are on top of the town. We just hope they are all going to be safe, all fly away and we get more next year."
The quartet - two males and two females - are now a little over a month old and positioned on the next level up from the observation deck, more than 200ft high.
Mr Bartlett added that The Stump, for next year, hope to team up with a sponsor to install a live video feed to allow people to watch the chicks should more hatch.
Grahame Madge, a spokesman for the RSPB, said peregrine falcon numbers were hit hard in the 1950s and 1960s due to pesticides entering the food chain, but their colonisation of The Stump was an indication the species was returning to strength.
He said: "It's really fantastic news because it shows these magnificent birds of prey are beginning to recover."

Nine months old
Australian Budgie
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
his is Chomel showing off his new hairdo? Our previous budgie had flown away and broken our hearts, and we were looking for another budgie. We found Chomel at a breeder's place, but the breeder had lost interest in his birds, and they were kept locked up in a dark garage, never seeing the light of day. We picked Chomel out because he was the smallest, and when we brought him out into the daylight to take a better look at him, he looked so sad. He was so skinny, had an overgrown beak, feathers growing in funny directions, and twisted feet. We thought he looked rather ugly, but we couldn't bear to leave him behind in those terrible conditions, so we adopted him, and called him Chomel which means "pretty" in the Malaysian language. We've had him for almost six months now, and he's put on weight, his feet are growing stronger, and we trim his beak regularly, so he's looking half decent now. He's adorable, very tame, and becoming more lively and cheeky with time. We love him!

text: We often ask the question – however lame – what's your inspiration? Wonder what Jeremy Scott would have to say to that. Question of the day: Did designer Jeremy Scott rip off legendary skateboard artist Jimbo Phillips? UH, HELL YAH. Just take a look at these undoctored images. This is epic fashion plagiarism I mean, come on. It's so painfully obvious. Did Mr. Scott not think that the internet existed? Or that his demo was too young and ignorant to actually know a legendary artist like Mr. Jimbo Phillips? Do JS fashion freaks like skateboarding? Not necessarily. Actually, skateboarding is lame. But Jimbo's melting face art is not. In fact it's so good, Jeremy Scott based his recent A/W 2013 collection on it. Which is all fine and dandy. It happens in fashion, collections referencing many a thing, from art to pop culture, to architecture, food and so on. But not to my knowledge was there ever any mention of Jimbo Phillips as the reference for this season. I asked around like, did he do it well enough to pass? And the consistent answer around here is NO. Ok, negative nancies. You win. Good artist copy, great artist steal. Jeremy Scott tried to pass off someone else's idea as his own, and that's a whole different thing.

"I continue to believe in Best Buy and its future - and care deeply about its customers, employees and shareholders," he said in a statement. "There is an urgent need for Best Buy to reinvigorate growth by reconnecting with today's customers and building pathways to the next generation of consumers. Accordingly, I have shared my views with the Board and today informed them of my decision to resign as Chairman and a director, effective immediately, in order to explore all available options for my ownership stake."
Schulze had previously announced plans to step down as chairman after the company's June 21 annual meeting, while retaining his board seat through the 2013 annual meeting.
Recently suffering from poor performance in the face of intense competitive pressures from Amazon.com and other online and offline competition, the company also has been hit hard by the recent resignation of former CEO Brian Dunn amid allegations he had an improper relationship with one of the company's employees.
In May, Best Buy said that an internal investigation found that Dunn "violated company policy by engaging in an extremely close personal relationship with a female employee that negatively impacted the work environment." The company also said at the time that Dunn's relationship with the woman "demonstrated extremely poor judgment and a lack of professionalism." Best Buy also found that Schulze "acted inappropriately when he failed to bring the matter to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors in December 2011, when the allegations were first raised with him."
BBY this morning is down $1.19, or 6%, to $18.70.
Update: Best Buy this morning named Hatim Tyabji as the new chairman. Tyabji, chairman of the board's audit committee, has a been a Best Buy director since 1998. Tyabji since 2001 has been chairman and CEO of Bytemobile a company which provides video optimization and traffic management systems for mobile operators, and which just this morning agreed to be acquired by Citrix Systems. He is also chairman of Jasper Wireless. From 1986 to 1998, he was CEO and Chairman of VeriFone.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper baseball team was hammered at home by the Los Lunas Tigers.
The big-hitting Tigers scored 9 runs in their first three at-bats before the Hilltoppers got on the board at Bomber Field. The Tigers added 4 runs in the top of the fifth to close out the game early, 15-2.
Tuesday's game was the second time this season the two teams had faced off, with Los Lunas (8-4) winning both games by identical scores.
Los Lunas is averaging better than 8 runs per contest and is a perfect 4-0 against District 2-4A teams — it shut out Bernalillo in both ends of a doubleheader March 2.
For the Hilltoppers (2-6), they have dropped four of their last five contests including the two losses to the Tigers.
They will face Durango, Colo., in the opening round of the Piedra Vista Invitational Thursday. That tournament, which will be played at Ricketts Park in Farmington, continues through Saturday.
Freeride team hosting dinner Saturday
The Pajarito Mountain Freeride team is hosting a fundraising dinner and movie Saturday.
The event, which will help send team members to the USASA national championship event, will be at Pajarito Mountain. The dinner starts at 6 p.m.
Saturday's event will also include a movie premier of team highlights and an after-movie dance party.
Price for admission is $10. Donations may also be made by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or dropping them off at Los Alamos National Bank.
Nukes host Las Cruces Saturday at Sullivan Field
The Los Alamos Nukes rugby team will host Las Cruces in a home match Saturday.
The Los Alamos-Las Cruces match is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Sullivan Field. Admission is free.
The Nukes participated in the High Desert Classic last weekend at Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque. They dropped three contests, falling to El Paso (Texas) Cathedral 17-5, Las Cruces 17-12 and Volcano Vista 23-3.
Elk hunting deadline is tonight
Tuesday was Emilee Jones' 17th birthday and she was being pretty stingy with the party favors she was giving out to the Pojoaque Valley Elks.
Jones, a pitcher for the Los Alamos Hilltopper softball team, threw six innings of shutout ball against the Elks in their game at Overlook Park. Jones limited Pojoaque Valley to just three hits and didn't allow a runner past second base.
Meanwhile, the Hilltopper bats got hot, thanks in no small part to the added offensive firepower from Erin Kirk, Kiana Zerr and Krista Salazar, just returning to the team from basketball, as the Hilltoppers closed out the Elks 10-0 in 6 innings.
Los Alamos broke open a tight ballgame in the fifth inning, pushing 3 runs across, then closed out the game in the sixth inning with a 4-run rally.
Meanwhile, Jones quelled Pojoaque Valley's offense, which had scored 20 runs in a doubleheader against Los Alamos' District 2-4A rival Santa Fe last weekend. She worked the inside corner of the plate for much of the game, working in both fastballs and breaking balls to keep Pojoaque Valley's hitters guessing.
"We were focused a lot on our spots and hitting our spots," Jones said. "I was using the curve against this team. It felt good."
The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls tennis team improved its 2013 dual record to 6-2 with a pair of wins this weekend.
The Hilltoppers competed at the Las Vegas Robertson team tournament Saturday. The tournament was played at the Santa Fe and Capital tennis courts.
In the tournament semifinals, Los Alamos downed New Mexico Military Institute 7-2. Los Alamos then went on to win the championship match, cruising to an 8-1 victory over St. Michael's.
In the semifinal, the Hilltoppers took five of the six singles contests to clinch the victory. Nasim Andrews, playing in the No. 1 slot against NMMI, picked up a straight-set victory, surrendering just three games in the two sets.
Laura Whicker at No. 2 also picked up a straight-set victory, but had to hold on in a tiebreaker to win the second set. Astrid Hengartner, Danielle Ortiz and Maia Menefee were also singles competition winners for the Hilltoppers, while Hengartner/Whicker and Michelle Alexander/Kristen Funsten won in doubles.
Against St. Michael's in the final round, Los Alamos swept the Nos. 2-6 singles and took all three doubles contests. Madeline Margevicius, Susana Lucido, Sidra Hseieh-Ratliff, Andrews and Whicker all won their singles contests in straight sets with Whicker dropping just one game at the No. 6 slot.
Both the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls track and field teams finished among the top five in team competition at Saturday's Cleveland Kickoff Invitational.
Los Alamos' girls, paced by a monster day from star Laura Wendelberger, finished with 59.5 points, good enough for third place among the 14 competing teams at Cleveland High School Saturday.
The Hilltopper boys, meanwhile, finished with 38.5 points, which was good enough for fifth place in team competition. The Hilltoppers' day got started with a bang when they swept the top three spots in the 3200 meters, led by top finisher Nick Hill, who nipped Zak Kennison at the finish line.
Cleveland, a Class 5A school, easily won both ends of team competition Saturday. Los Alamos was one of just two Class 4A teams in attendance.
For the Hilltopper girls, Wendelberger won the long jump, going 16 feet, 2 inches, and was second in the high jump, clearing 5-4. Wendelberger also finished second in both the 100 hurdles (16.15) and 300 hurdles (48.21) with a pair of state qualification marks. She also led off the 400 relay team, which was third.
Teresa Sandoval won and qualified in the 3200, while Mikayla Pulliam and Amanda Mercer went 1-2 and both punched their tickets to state in the 1600.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team picked up a pair of All-District first team seletions.
The selections were announced Monday.
Hilltoppers Erin Kirk, a senior, and McKenzie Logan, a junior, both earned All District first team honors this season.

Hilltopper Erin Kirk will represent the northern part of the state in this year's All-Star girls basketball game.
Kirk, a standout senior for Los Alamos, was selected for the honor by the New Mexico High School Coaches Association. Selections were announced Monday.
To be considered for the All-Star teams, players must be graduating seniors.
Kirk helped Los Alamos to a 17-13 record this season and a berth in the Class 4A playoffs.
Los Alamos defeated Deming in the opening round before losing in the quarterfinal round to eventual champion Los Lunas.
This year's North-South 4A/5A game will be played at Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho. It's scheduled for June 7.
In preparation for the game, Kirk will be working out alongside two longtime District 2-4A rivals. Capital's Ashley Sorenson and Española Valley's Lauren Quintana were also picked for the squad.
In all, five Class 4A players were chosen along with five Class 5A players.
Along with the three selections for District 2-4A in girls basketball, the 2-4A boys earned two selections. District Player of the Year Mikey Lopez of Capital and last year's Player of the Year Brandon Saiz of Bernalillo were both honored with selections to the boys All-Star Game.
Not surprisingly, there is a lot to get done before one goes on a cross-country tour. Going cross-country on a bicycle makes things even more complicated.
Lisa Marie Dougherty is learning that first-hand in preparation for her race across the country.
Dougherty, a true Renaissance woman and Los Alamos resident, will take part in the 2013 Race Across America (RAAM) tour, which gets going in mid-June. She's spent the past several months preparing for her long road trip on bicycle.
"There's a lot of ramping up," Dougherty said. "You start ramping up after January. Every week I do a big ride and every month I do two rides back-to-back…I'm pretty comfortable. I'm still creeping up doing 100 and 200 miles. Three hundred miles is pushing it. That's a lot."
Even with her preparation, she said getting physically prepared is just part of the challenge and, as she learned more about the logistics of the race, she said preparing physically might even be one of the easier parts. Assembling her support crew and taking care of logistical challenges have proven tough.
The Race Across America dates back to 1982 when four cyclists raced from the Santa Monica, Calif., pier to the Empire State Building in New York City.

Greenpeace's ship Arctic Sunrise is in the Kara sea, in the Arctic ocean north of Siberia to expose what Rosneft, ExxonMobil and the Russian authorities are trying to hide there from international scrutiny. But the authorities have tried to block the ship at every turn, and have even threatened to use "preventive fire" against the peaceful protest ship.
This is a shocking escalation, but without a large public outcry it could get even uglier. A clear message from the Russian officials could immediately stop the harassment.
We had to leave the Kara sea for our own safety today under the threat of fire. A FSB (former KGB) ship forced us out of the area where Exxon and Rosneft are exploring for oil in an Arctic nature reserve. We will not stop protesting against oil exploration in the Arctic.
Read more about it on our blog, and sign up to stay in touch.
We will deliver the following message to the Coast Guard when we hit 10,000 signatures:
"As concerned citizens we urge the Russian Federation to immediately stop the harassment of Greenpeace's ship in the Northern Sea Route. Greenpeace is in the area legally to peacefully protest against reckless Arctic oil drilling."

Pros and Cons of NY Knicks Trading Amar'e StoudemireFebruary 2, 2013
Pros and Cons of NY Knicks Trading Amar'e Stoudemire
A potential trade of Amar'e Stoudemire is always a hot topic for the New York Knicks, and with the trade deadline approaching you can bet that the rumors will start developing once again soon.
Stoudemire has been having somewhat of a mini-revival since returning from injury in early January, embracing a role on New York's bench.
His increased efficiency and production will help to make him attractive to other teams, but at the same time reduces the likelihood of the Knicks wanting to trade him in the first place.
Let's go through and weigh up both sides of the argument, and see if the Knicks should pull the trigger if a trade opportunity presents itself before the deadline.
Stats used in this article were accurate as of Feb. 2, 2013.
Pro: It Gives New York the Chance to Get Younger
The Knicks currently have the oldest roster in the NBA, and more importantly have some of the most injury-prone big men in the game.
Marcus Camby and Rasheed Wallace are both currently sitting out with foot injuries and Amar'e Stoudemire has missed the majority of the season so far after knee debridement surgery.
That leaves the Knicks with the potential to become very thin behind Tyson Chandler (who also has a serious injury history) at center and the slightly undersized Carmelo Anthony at power forward.
Though Stoudemire isn't too old having turned 30 in November, his penchant for injury does ask some serious questions about whether or not he can stay on the court. Both of his two seasons in New York have ended with injuries in the playoffs, and it is definitely something the front office should be concerned about.
It's unlikely to expect another team to want to trade a younger (or healthier) player in return for Stoudemire, unless that player happened to also be less talented.
At that point, the Knicks would have to weigh up whether they want to ensure they have a healthy player in the playoffs, or take a risk and have a better player who might not be there when needed.
Players like Carlos Boozer (who, whilst older, is also less of an injury-worry) and Andrea Bargnani would come into play here.
Con: He Has Found His Role on the Team and Is Playing Well
The main reason there were so many calls for Stoudemire to be traded last year is that, with Carmelo Anthony starting at power forward, there would be no role for him on the Knicks.
As it turns out, though, STAT has found a place he can thrive off the Knicks' bench, logging minutes at both power forward and center when either Melo or Tyson Chandler is off the floor.
Stoudemire's scoring may be his lowest on average since his rookie season, but at 55 percent his field goal percentage and overall efficiency is fantastic.
Looking at the advanced stats, Stoudemire is putting up his highest true shooting percentage, win shares per 48 and offensive rating since he was at the top of his game in Phoenix, and is also doing so in less minutes.
Trading high may yield the best return, but at the same time it might not be wise to trade a player showing serious signs of a return to dominance.
Pro: A More Defensive Player Can Be Brought in
Amar'e Stoudemire's struggles on the defensive end of the floor have been well-documented, and he made headlines once again after telling reporters that he has "never been taught defense."
Whilst Stoudemire does sound committed to making changes defensively, it will definitely be tough for Mike Woodson to get him playing reasonable D essentially starting from scratch.
For a team that has preached the importance of defense since training camp, it may make sense to move STAT for a better defender, even if that means giving up some offensive production in return.
There aren't too many players in the NBA on similar salaries to Stoudemire who fit the bill, but a move for David West or Emeka Okafor would be a defensive upgrade...even if they do sound unattractive on the whole.
Con: They Won't Necessarily Get the Same Value in Return
It's all good and well to talk about Stoudemire not being worth his $100 million contract, but the fact of the matter is that if the Knicks don't want it, other teams won't want it either.
The only way another team can realistically be persuaded to take on Stoudemire's contract is by giving back a contract or two that they regret signing in return.
Whether they make a trade or not, the Knicks will not be getting $20 million per year of value, so the question becomes more about which overpaid player fits better on the team.
Players like Carlos Boozer, Andrea Bargnani and Hedo Turkoglu are likely to want to be traded by their respective teams, but with Stoudemire playing how he is are they really a better fit for New York?
According to Basketball Reference, STAT has a much higher PER than any of those three players in his 14 games this season, and it will be hard to find anyone else more productive that their team will actually want to trade.
Pro: An Expiring Contract Would Open Up Some Useful Cap Space
The Knicks managed to make some major moves last offseason despite Amar'e Stoudemire's $100 million contract, but with sign-and-trades now out of the question it will be hard for them to do the same in 2013.
The majority of New York's key players are tied up long-term anyway, but looking at the age of some of them there is a chance they could retire and leave the front office with some work to do to replace them.
Also, in the case of J.R. Smith–who has really stepped up as a sixth man this season–the Knicks do risk losing out to teams with more cap space in free agency.
The Knicks do have Smith's Bird rights this summer–which lets them go over the cap to re-sign him–but as we saw with Jeremy Lin, there may be some reluctance to overspend if another team comes in with a substantial offer.
That said, Smith did take a pay cut to stay in New York this season, so there is a serious chance that he will help out again in 2013.
Trading Stoudemire for an expiring contract like that of David West or Jose Calderon would help ease the financial strain, but would also come at the expense of STAT's production.
If the Knicks are seriously worried about losing out on Smith this offseason, then it would make sense to try and move Stoudemire, but it won't be easy to do.
Con: They Have Tried and Failed to Trade Stoudemire Before
Though Amar'e Stoudemire's improved play since returning from injury has made a trade less attractive from the Knicks' point of view, the real reason trade rumors have died down is likely that they have tried and failed to move him already.
We heard from Howard Beck that Stoudemire had been put on the trading block earlier in 2012, with Beck writing the following in the New York Times:
This past summer, the Knicks offered Stoudemire to nearly every team in the league — "available for free," as one rival executive put it. But they found no takers because of his diminished production, his health and his contract, which has three years and $65 million remaining (counting this season) and which is uninsured against a career-ending knee injury.
In February, the Knicks wanted to send Stoudemire to Toronto in a deal for Andrea Bargnani, a person briefed on the discussion said. But the proposal was vetoed by James L. Dolan, the Garden chairman, before it ever reached the Raptors (who would not have made the deal anyway, team officials there said).
This casts some serious doubts over whether or not the Knicks will be able to get anything of value in return for Stoudemire, or if they'll even be able to trade him at all.
He has been more efficient recently, but clearly his injury-history and inflated salary is what is really turning other teams away.
The Verdict
After weighing up both sides of the argument, the bottom line is that giving up Stoudemire and his hefty contract would likely mean taking back another overpaid player, making a trade hard to justify.
With Stoudemire playing so well off the bench, it's time for the Knicks to just ignore his salary and move on with him in his new role. After all, with the team standing at 29-15, it's not like his contract has stopped them from adding talent and building a deep roster so far.
For once the Knicks are actually in a good position chemistry-wise, so trading away major pieces isn't something they should actively be trying to do. It's rare that you see a team make a deep playoff run after pulling off a big trade halfway through the campaign.
At this point, the Knicks need to cross their fingers and hope for the best injury-wise, because Stoudemire's performance in the games he has played has been impressive.
