The Surface Mini was supposed to be announced months ago, but its existence is now shrouded in mystery.
Microsoft trims between $100 and $200 off its second-gen Surface Pro 2 tablets ahead of availability of its Surface Pro 3.
While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.
The rumored Surface Mini didn't see the light of day. But Microsoft has good reason not to release it.
Now that Microsoft has announced a successor to the Surface Pro 2, it's time to see how the new tablet stacks up against its older sibling.
Microsoft's newest 12-inch tablet has one of the best displays of any tablet out there, according to DisplayMate Technologies. That's no mean feat.
Microsoft appears to have scrapped its small tablet -- at least in its current form.
As we near the Moto X's first anniversary, new photos of its successor arrive online.
Tech giant also confirms decision not to ship a smaller version of the device during its fourth-quarter earnings conference call.
Microsoft made a direct comparison between the Surface Pro 3 and the MacBook Air 13", so we're throwing them into the Prizefight Ring to settle the score once and for all. Let's get it on!

Vikings QB Brett Favre said he was surprised to learn that the team had waived WR Randy Moss but that he and the rest of the team now must pick up the pieces and move on.
"It didn't work out. I got along fine with Randy," Favre said. "We're 2-5. We as a group of guys in that locker room have to find a way to get it done."
Favre said he wasn't given a reason for Moss' release from head coach Brad Childress.
"He didn't give any (reason), nor should he have to," Favre said. "I haven't been told anything."
Favre likes the effort of the offense but says improved play has to start with himself.
"The bottom line is that we (were) 1-3 (with Moss)," Favre said. "First and foremost, my play could be better.
"You take chances with guys."
That's what the Vikings did in acquiring Moss, the NFL's ninth-leading receiver all time and a seven-time Pro Bowler: to give Favre a downfield target in the absence of Sidney Rice, who is attempting to return from hip surgery. But Moss caught only 13 passes for 174 yards and two TDs in four games in his return to Minnesota and his off-field behavior is said to be directly tied to the fact that he was waived on Tuesday.
Moss' effort also was in question. He always has carried a reputation of taking plays off when he famously said during his first tenure with the Vikings that he plays when he wants to. That reputation remains, and it was perhaps on display in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
Favre was asked if Moss dogged it on a play where he drew a pass-interference call but appeared capable of catching a ball that could have been a touchdown. Two plays later, Favre was hit by Patriots DL Myron Pryor on the chin, causing a laceration that required 10 stitches.
"I guess he could have caught it, but he did get interfered with," Favre said. "I can see why he didn't catch the ball."
Rumors of locker-room dissension and a rocky relationship between Favre and head coach Brad Childress are now in full swirl. And Favre admits that he and his teammates don't always see eye to eye on decisions that Childress makes. But Favre thinks the support of the team remains strong.
"I don't see anybody jumping ship," he said. "I think (support for Childress) never wavered."

Y-12, Pantex contract extensions
The procurements plans for consoldiating the management contracts at the Y-12 and Pantex nuclear weapons are running well behind earlier schedules, and the National Nuclear Security Administration today announced plans to extend the existing contracts for another year to allow more time for the contract process. The notice of intent was posted at FedBizOpps.gov.
There already were two three-month options for extension, and now it looks like they'll be taken and moved to the end of the new contract expiration date, Sept. 30, 2012. B&W Y-12 (a partnership of Babcock & Wilcox and Bechtel National) manages Y-12.
Here's an excerpt from the Y-12 notice:
"This is a special notice of intent to award a contract extension on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, 'Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements' to Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Y-12, LLC for the management and operation of Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12) for a one-year base period, October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. This contract extension is necessary while actions are completed for the follow-on competition resulting in a single contract award for the management and operation of Y-12 and the Pantex Plant with an option for the phase-in of Tritium Operations performed at the Savannah River Site (DE-SOL-0001458). This extension also includes two three-month options which may be exercised if needed."

Have you noticed the school buses back on the streets? School is in session! One local elementary school, Van Arsdale Elementary (located in western Arvada at 7535 Alkire Street) happily welcomed back 550 students this year with some exterior renovations.
Like other neighborhood schools, a significant percentage of students ride their bikes and walk to class each day. However, prior to this summer, walking and biking wasn't made easy at Van Arsdale due to lack of access. Alkire Street did not have any on-street bike lanes or sidewalks adjacent to the road creating a hazardous environment for cars, walkers and bikers sharing the roadway. In addition, while Van Arsdale had sidewalk connections to the neighborhood to the south, there was no safe way for bikers or walkers to get to the school from Alkire Street. Alkire Street was also a missing link in the city's on-street bike lanes, which connected W. 72nd Avenue and W. 80th Avenue
With the help of Anne Tully, Traffic Engineering Technician for the City of Arvada, returning 2012-2013 Van Arsdale students now can benefit from improved biking and pedestrian connections to their school. Anne sought the financial resources for this project from the Federally funded "Safe Routes to School" program. This program provides opportunities to local communities to make improvements that will enable and encourage children to bike or walk to school instead of being driven by their parents. For the Alkire project, Anne partnered with Chris Sveum in Engineering in order to submit a successful Safe Routes grant application that demonstrated a direct benefit and connection to this school, met size and scope requirements and had a commitment from the school principal to implement the required education component of the grant.
The result was that the Alkire bike lane project added on-street bike lanes from W. 74th Drive to W. 80th Avenue, completing a missing link in the Bike Master Plan for the City. In addition, 230 feet of sidewalk was constructed to connect Alkire Street directly to the main door of the school, "replacing" a worn dirt path used by the students. Finally, the project also provided two new bike racks for Van Arsdale Elementary and replaced four reduced speed zone beacons that were outdated and unreliable. The total amount of the grant was $146,000 and the City contributed approximately $16,000. With the addition of the bike lanes on Alkire, the school was also able to keep parents in their parking lot (versus parking on the street) for drop off/pick-ups of students – a much safer situation for everyone headed back to school!

CARY — After years of traveling around the country and world, Otis Herndon was ready to settle in when he moved to the Chatham Forest apartment complex six years ago.
But his wife said she didnt feel safe in the community off West Chatham Street, where drugs and violence kept many residents behind locked doors.
So Herndon, a 59-year-old Apex native, vowed to make his new home safe. And he did just that, becoming a one-man community watchdog while also steering his youngest neighbors toward better futures.
Cary Police Capt. Don Hamilton says community members often help his department fight crime. But he says Herndons efforts rise well above the norm.
From my experience, theres probably no one like Otis, Hamilton says. He does more than anyone to make the community he lives in a better place.
Herndon, often called Mr. Otis, keeps an eye out for crime on daily patrols through the neighborhood, serves as an informal youth counselor, drives neighborhood children to weekly taekwondo lessons and monitors the communitys pool in the summer.
He also works with police on outreach efforts in other parts of Cary, helping teach other residents how to deter crime and improve their communities.
I promised my wife Id make it safe here, he says. And Im the kind of person that if I set my mind on a goal, I stick to it. Nothing is going to make me budge.
A rough beginning
Herndon grew up in Apex when the town was strictly segregated, starting out on a tobacco farm but eventually moving around town several times.
On his side of the tracks, he says, violence and poverty were the norm.
His mother was killed when he was 3, and he went to live with a schoolteacher aunt. But he says he spent much of his time on the street.
I aint always been an angel, he says. I had anger issues. I was just like any of these kids you see out there today causing trouble.
He ran away several times as a youth, witnessed all manner of drugs and violence, and took part in many a knife fight, he says. He recalls once being stabbed, only to return to the streets as soon as the hospital released him.
But he says the county authorities tried hard to steer him in the right direction when he was brought in after fights as a youth.
They saw something in me, God knows what, he says. They worked with me and worked on me.
At one point, he says, a judge called him a walking time bomb about to explode.
That stuck with me, Herndon says. Since then, Ive tried hard to turn negatives into positives.
He left town before he finished school, eager to strike out on his own, but returned in time to be drafted into the military in the 1970s. He was stationed in Korea and stayed in the Marines for eight years, rising to the rank of gunnery sergeant.
He met his wife, a Marine nurse, during that time. They were based mainly in Washington, D.C., and Virginia but also traveled abroad to Mali and the Ivory Coast, among other places.
They married once he left the service. When she retired, they traveled across the country in a motor home, with Herndon doing maintenance work at many of their stops.
He says he always liked moving around, taking in different people and places.
I learned more traveling than I did staying at home, he says. I learned people. I see things and they soak in and I try to analyze it and use that knowledge later.
He was working at a campground in New York when the aunt who raised him fell ill, prompting his return to North Carolina in 2007, where he got a maintenance job at the Chatham Forest apartments.
His aunt died shortly after he arrived, and he suffered a stroke not long after that.
He has not worked since, but he says his neighborhood activities have been important to his recovery, keeping him active and giving him a sense of purpose.
Thank you, Mr. Otis
His first step in fixing the problems at Chatham Forest was to take a hard look at them.
I got out and walked for about a week, and I thought, Something aint healthy here, he says. The kids were all inside, the parents wouldnt go out.
He found that gang activity was a problem, and he started calling the police regularly to report anything suspicious. He credits the increased police presence with forcing some of the worst offenders to move out.
But he also found groups of young people who may have looked tough but reminded him of himself as a youth troubled children who might just as easily slip into criminal activity as not.
He wanted to turn them in the right direction, and he started talking to them about their behavior, their choices, the consequences of their actions. And he found that they listened.
If I see them messing up, I pull them to the side and just say, Hey, calm it down a notch. And they say Thank you, Mr. Otis and go about their business, he says. If they have a problem, they know they can come to me, even if they dont want to go to their parents.
He also started offering them alternatives, arranging and promoting activities` with the help of the town and local churches and businesses.
In addition to the free taekwondo classes offered at White Tiger Taekwondo, twice-weekly tutoring sessions at Chatham Forest allow students to get help with homework.
Herndon is working on forming a track team.
Every other weekend, mentors take the children to hockey games, movies or other activities.
The main stipulation for all of this is that the children stay in school and get decent grades. So far, most of them have.
What we do is try to keep them busy and positive, he says.
Herndon says the changes started slowly but in the past few years have taken off like a jet plane.
Officer Josh Fulbright says crime is way down in the neighborhood, and the crimes that do occur are dealt with more quickly thanks to the close-knit group of residents that Herndon has united against crime.
He has made it clear that the community is not going to be how it was in the past going into the future, Fulbright says.
Valerie Marsh, a mother of four, was afraid to let her children play outside when she moved to Chatham Forest three years ago. But she says the turnaround has been swift.
There was drug dealing, fighting, vandalism, and I didnt want my children to be around that, she says. But this man gets out there and works hard making sure were safe. As a parent, I can say that I feel safer with him around.

Times West Virginian
Once upon a time, the George Pinkney Morgan House was left to fall in on itself.
Registered in the county in 1850, but believed based on architecture to date to the post-colonial era of the late 1700s, the homestead of the Morgan family had been filled with trash, used as a deerstand and just plain neglected.
But in 1999, Jim Rote purchased the house for a song and has spent the past 13 years working on restoring it to its original state, preserving a valuable piece of Rivesville's historical heritage.
"I was born right across the street from this house," Rote said. "I have a keen interest in the community and saving our history."
Like many West Virginia natives, he spent a portion of his adult life working away from home in various professions, but he never really forgot about the old abandoned house.
"In my early childhood, when I was growing up, I always liked the Sugar Lane part of Rivesville," he said. "I had really good memories, and this poor house just sat here in ruins. It had been abandoned for about 25-30 years."
When he bought the property, Rote didn't know its history, only that he liked the building and wanted to save it. It wasn't until he did some research that he fully realized its significance.
"Rivesville has a lot of history that people aren't even aware of," Rote said.
For instance, he pointed out a distant obelisk marking the spot where David Morgan, who developed the area eventually becoming Fairmont, fought raiding Native Americans to save his son and daughter.
Morgan is buried under a spreading pine tree on the property.
The house itself has taken a lot of work to get to the state it's in today, and Rote still has plenty to do.
"It's been a lot of trials and tribulations," he said. "The house had been boarded up and mistreated, and people would dump garbage in the house.
"It has a second-story porch and people would sit up there with a cooler and a gun and do their hunting the easiest way they could," he said.
So when he first started cleaning up, the mess and neglect made the place seem a little spooky.
But after hauling seven dump trucks of garbage out of the property and starting on renovations, the place has brightened up.
"We ran underground electricity to the property. Then it needed a roof; most of the roof was missing when I bought it, so we had to put a roof on it, then we had to repair most of the windows," and the list goes on, he said.
Though it's not finished, Rote has done his best to model historical accuracy as much as possible. The dining room, for example, is matched to the same shade of blue as the original house based on careful paint removal and matching.
"Except for one room, it has all the original floors, all the original woodwork, all the original mantles, etc.," he said.
What isn't original has been carefully selected at estate sales and antique stores.
The house has a number of features unfamiliar to the modern family. For instance, Rote is still working on installing a bathroom, as the house did not originally have one, dating before the invention of indoor plumbing.
The kitchen was also originally located outside, with a "serving" kitchen adjacent to the dining room.
"They would bring, let's say a turkey, they'd bring the whole turkey in here, carve it up and pass it through (a recess in the cupboard) to the people (in the dining room)," he explained.
The serving kitchen also has two entrances: "One for the master and one for the servant," Rote said. He believes the original owners of the house had two slaves who lived in a less elegant portion of the house almost entirely separated from the owners' quarters.
"You don't see that in the rest of the house because the servants didn't go unless they were specifically requested," he said.
The house was listed on the National Historic Register in 2003.
"It was a chance to grab a piece of history, and hopefully it will be finished this summer and I'll be able to live in it instead of walking through and daydreaming all the time," he said.
There's still work to be done, and Rote said there always will be, but he thinks it'll be livable by the end of summer.
Rote does tours on occasion and hopes to work with the Marion County Historical Society over the year to do some events so people can see the progress made on the house and learn more about one of the most fascinating periods of Marion County history.

Although you might have a little difficulty spotting the hotel initially as it doesnt have the obvious exterior look of a hotel, with a clear glassdoor which oversees the lobby and reception, it isnt too difficult to find as the street is not too complicated. The man who helped with the check in also brought us to our room and gave us an overview of the facilities. He was really friendly and detailed. - Li
Lirico is well placed at the heart of Rome. Being close to the Termini station transportation is very easy but you can also walk everywhere from the hotel. The morning breakfast is satisfactory and hotel staff is very polite. The rooms are very very clean and taken care of every day. The size of the room is adequate and is enough for you to sit and work at the table. - Bahadir
This hotel was perfect, the location was 5 mins walk from Termini Station and within easy walking distance of all the major attractions of Rome. The room was quite small but had everything you could need, the attention to detail was amazing. There were a large number of very good restaurants within seconds walking distance. We have already discussed a return visit to Rome and will be staying at the same hotel. - Sally
Our stay at Hotel Opera Roma was perfect! The hotel has an excellentlocation (2 mins walk from Repulica metro Station and 5 mins fromTermini). The room was very clean with a very large bed and a bigbathroom. We were offered a minilaptop with free internet access, whichwas great!! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Also, therewas a shuttle bus service to and from Fiumicino Airport. - Maha
We decide to book Imperial Inn because we saw the photos of the place, and it seemed really nice; and in fact, it was. There are Troemp d'oeil that add to the pleasant and relaxing atmosphere of the place. It's very clean with a more than satisfying breakfast. We've seem many place to stay, because we travel a lot; so we feel lucky to have choosen 66 Imperial Inn DeLuxe. Thank you - Michelle
Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money. Everything within walking distance. Rooms clean and comfortable. - Karen
It's a great hotel, much more than I expected for the price I payed.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says the U.S. military is committed to developing the Marine Corps version of the next-generation strike fighter jet, but warns the program is "not out of the woods yet."
Panetta says the Pentagon needs "to make sure we're on the cutting edge" of military technology. And he says the F-35, the Pentagon's most expensive weapons program, is absolutely vital to maintaining America's air superiority.
He spoke as he stood in front of one of the fighter aircraft at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland, where the program is run.
The Marine's version of the jet has faced schedule delays and cost overruns and the program was placed on probation by former defense chief Robert Gates. Panetta says the probation period is over.

An allergic reaction to a medication has limited the practice participation of Cardinals RB Beanie Wells.
Wells experienced swelling in his right knee after Orthovisc was injected in the knee. The medication is commonly used to lubricate sore knees, according to Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Whisenhunt said Wells looked better in practice Thursday but still would need to show him more in Friday's practice to retain his starting job for Sunday's game at Minnesota.
Wells missed the first two games of the season after injuring the same knee in the final preseason game and then undergoing arthroscopic surgery. He got his first start of the season last Sunday, gaining 50 yards on 16 carries.

|My husbands favorite, I have a secret on steak, I only eat the filet side and he loves that I only love the that small little side piece! Why? Because he gets to eat the other side of mine which is the biggest amount, so bonus for my hubby!
1 (2-1/2- to 3-pound) porterhouse steak (2 1/2 to 3 inches thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
4 cloves of garlic sliced lengthwise
garlic powder
Chianti Butter
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick), at room temperature
2 teaspoons Chianti or red wine
1 teaspoon kosher salt
First make the butter spread:
Use a spatula, mix softened butter in a mixing bowl until it's spreadable. Add wine and salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Place compound butter on a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a log and twist the ends to seal. Place butter in the refrigerator to harden.
Brush steak with olive oil, season well with salt and pepper, make slits into the steak and fill with garlic slices. Sprinkle with garlic powder lightly and oregano. Heat grill on high till very hot. Sear steaks on each side. Then lower to medium low heat, cook to desired taste, rare, medium or well done.

Oil Center —
I tried to get Oklahoma Sports Park Chief Executive Officer George Welch to tell me I was part of the biggest crowd in the history of the local dirt track during the June 29 enduro race that also featured a motocross performance by Oklahoma's own Derek Cook.
But he was reluctant to go that far.
"It would rank in the top five for sure," Welch said.
I don't get to attend the races at the ever-improving OSP as much as I would like because of my work schedule. But I'd be willing to try and take a bite out of my Oklahoma City Thunder hat if Welch and company have squeezed more folks in the stands than there were two Saturdays ago.
I walked from one end of the stands to the other, and there were very few empty spaces big enough to fit even a medium-sized person into.
The place was rockin' early in the enduro race and late during the motocross stunts by Cook and one of his colleagues. The two put on a show, despite one of their portable bank of lights going out just before showtime. Cook's best effort was his complete backflip on his motorcycle as he went off the low ramp and landed on the higher one.
The 150-lap enduro race is a beast. The next longest race that the OSP hosts is the 50-lap Stock Car Nationals. Normal weekly feature races are just 20 laps. OSP videographer Coy Cypert admitted that his arms ached after filming the 90-minute-plus race with only one break.
The best action in the race came early. There were two memorable crashes. I got to witness the first up close and personal when the No. 7 car driven by James Wilson crashed hard into the wall directly in front of the concession stand while I was diving into my Frito pie.

Capital City Fruit, Inc. of Norwalk, Iowa, is voluntarily recalling cherry tomatoes shipped by Rio Queen Citrus Inc. on Nov. 10, according to a Kane County Health Department press release.
Capital City Fruit, Inc. received notification from Rio Queen Citrus, Inc. following the discovery of Salmonella by the Food and Drug Administration in random testing of an incoming load of cherry tomatoes. There have been no reported illnesses attributed to the items listed in this recall.
Cherry tomatoes associated with the Rio Queen Citrus, Inc. recall received on November 12, 2012 and used in the packaging of certain lots of Capital Brand Clamshell Cherry tomatoes have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. These cherry tomatoes were shipped to retail stores from November 14, 2012 through November 18, 2012, according to the news release.
Capital City Fruit, Inc. is issuing this voluntary recall linked to the Rio Queen Citrus, Inc.'s recall to minimize any risk to public health. The recalled product was sold in retail stores in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Capital City Fruit, Inc. has notified the retailers who have received the recalled product and directed them to remove it from their store shelves. Consumers who purchased affected products listed in the table below should not consume them and should destroy or discard them.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
More information about food safety is available on the Health Department's Website at kanehealth.com/food_safety.htm. Consumers may contact Capital City Fruit, Inc. at (800) 535-6826, Monday- Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Central Standard Time).

The Norman Transcript
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska environmental regulators have released a preliminary 600-page report on the oil pipeline a Canadian company wants to build across the state.
The report released Tuesday doesn't include a recommendation about whether TransCanada should be allowed to build the Keystone XL pipeline to ship crude oil to Gulf Coast refineries.
The state report reveals TransCanada's new route avoids the environmentally sensitive Sandhills region and addresses a number of concerns Nebraskans raised.
TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard says the company appreciates the state's attention to detail and hopes the project will be approved.
A public hearing will be held in Albion Dec. 4.
Pipeline opponent Jane Kleeb of Bold Nebraska says she remains concerned, and she's disappointed the state won't require disclosure of exactly what chemicals will be carried in the pipeline.

RALEIGH — For all the talk about parity in the NHL, here is a thought-provoking statistic:
Eastern Conference teams have a 21-33-6 record against Western Conference teams this season.
That was through Mondays games. The Western record was enhanced Monday when the Colorado Avalanche went into Pittsburghs Consol Energy Center, where the Penguins were undefeated this season, and won 1-0.
The Metropolitan Division, which includes the Carolina Hurricanes, has been particularly lagging. It had an 8-16-4 record against the West after Mondays games.
So what gives? How can one conference be that dominant in a league that has a salary cap and yearly draft?
I dont know. Good question, Canes forward Radek Dvorak said Tuesday. But its been like this for a while.
Dvorak has more than 1,200 games of NHL experience and has played both in the East (Florida, New York Rangers, Atlanta Thrashers) and West (Edmonton, St. Louis, Dallas, Anaheim). He played 73 games for the Stars two seasons ago, but just nine with the Ducks last season.
When I was coming from East to West, for me the biggest change was the speed of the game, Dvorak said. I think in the West its more a straight-line game. Dump the puck in and go after the puck. So a little more about the forecheck.
The last couple of years I thought the East was getting very close to the West in hockey style. But in the end I think its more about skating and making simple plays in the West.
And physicality. Western teams do more bumping and grinding, and no more so than the Los Angeles Kings, the 2012 Stanley Cup champions.
Theres more hitting, for sure, Dvorak said. The Kings are a good example. They dont make difficult plays. Its more go after the puck, hit a guy, receive the puck, hit a guy. A grinding style.
The Canes faced the Kings on Oct. 11 the start of three home games against Western teams. Carolina lost to Los Angeles in a shootout 2-1, was beaten 5-3 by the Phoenix Coyotes, then lost a 3-2 shootout to the Chicago Blackhawks, the defending Stanley Cup champs.
L.A. was a big team, physical, Canes defenseman Justin Faulk said. The West teams do keep it simple chip it in, go on the forecheck as opposed to the east/west (game) on our side of the league.
The Hurricanes (4-2-3) will face two more Western teams this week, both on the road. Carolina will go to Minnesota on Thursday, then Colorado on Friday back-to-back.
There were no East vs. West games in 2012-2013 because of a season shortened to 48 games by the NHL lockout. Under the new collective bargaining agreement, Eastern teams will play home-and-home series with every Western team each year.
One thing seems undeniable: reaching the Stanley Cup playoffs could hinge on how well the Eastern teams now including the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets fare in their games against the West.
It will be a big thing at the end of the year, Canes coach Kirk Muller said. And everyone is saying the same thing when doing scouting reports Wow, I havent seen this team in two years. Theres a lot of extra work going on to be prepared for them.
Muller said playing styles can be trendy. He noted that when he played in the 1980s and 90s, the Eastern Conference had the bruising, grinding style while the Western Conference was considered the wild, wild West and wide open.
Muller said the East has more star players now, noting Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.
Theres more skill on this side, he said. I think what weve seen is that (the West) has a little more overall bite to their game.
Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane, before the game at PNC Arena, referred to the Eastern style as run and gun, up and down, a lot of skating, a lot of attack. Western teams, he said, were more physical, more defensive.
Muller said the Cup success of the Kings and Blackhawks have put other Western teams both in a catchup mode and in some cases a copy-cat mode.
It happens when you have a couple of good teams and you try to out-do them, so you get a little bigger and you grind a little bit more and get more physical to match each other, Muller said. Thats the cycle that happens.
Muller said Minnesota and Colorado appear to be exceptions, preferring a high-tempo game similar to what the Canes encountered Saturday in topping the New York Islanders 4-3.
The St. Louis and the L.A.s and those teams are the big, grinding, straight-north teams, nothing special about their games, he said. Well see two teams this week, ironically, that play a quick-paced game.
Faulk did a double-take Tuesday when told the Easts record against the West.
I havent noticed that, he said. Maybe we can help that out this week.

Almost 40 people representing a dozen Gwinnett County neighborhoods, two citizens' groups and a local political organization met May 19 at the Apalachee Farms clubhouse in Dacula to discuss a pressing concern for area residents – the potential commercialization of Briscoe Field.
Charlotte Nash, chairman of the Gwinett County Board of Commissioners and a Dacula native, was also in attendance to provide additional insight into the increasingly contentious issue.
Last month, hundreds of residents gathered at 12Stone church to provide input at the behest of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners regarding a resolution proposed by District 4 Commissioner John Heard that would have removed commercial service from consideration at the Lawrenceville airport.
Despite public support for the resolution, District 3 Commissioner Mike Beaudreau proposed a substitute motion the following week to direct staff to issue a request for proposals (RFPs) for privatization, which could include commercialization. The motion passed by a 3-2 margin with Heard and Nash voting against the measure.
Though Nash opposed the measure, she told those in attendance Thursday night that she is not ready to rule out privatizing Briscoe.
"There's the privatization issue, then there's the idea of whether we would put commercial flights there," Nash said. "As far as I'm concerned, the jury's out on whether it makes sense to privatize it as a general aviation airport. There may actually be some opportunities there as long as we can keep control of what happens to the airport."
However, when it comes to commercialization, Nash sees the issue as more clear-cut. Citing the small size of the airport, its location partially within the city limits of Lawrenceville and substantial development costs, Nash said she does not believe the airport is a suitable candidate for commercial service.
"We've got a constrained piece of property in terms of the size. It would take some pretty massive development costs and infrastructure improvements," she said. "We've got 502 acres. I believe that is too small of a site on which to try to do commercial service and not have appropriate buffers for the folks that are most directly surrounding the airport."
A study released earlier this week found Lawrenceville's Briscoe Field is not currently a feasible site for a second commercial service airport in the metro Atlanta area. The news was welcomed by those in attendance at Thursday night's meeting who believe the study findings apply not only to the use of Briscoe as a relief airport for Hartsfield, but also as the .
While the study addresses some important issues, Nash said there are even more critical considerations related to the potential privatization or commercialization of Briscoe Field -- particularly the financial commitment required as a condition of participation in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) privatization program.
"There's an absolute requirement that the county agree as part of that pre-application process that should the private operator that's pulled in for the privatization process have difficulty keeping the airport operating -- they go bankrupt or get in financial trouble -- the county has to agree that they're going to take over the responsibility for operating the airport," she said.
To protect itself against that risk, the county could require the airport operator to post a performance or surety bond, but Nash is concerned even that may not completely mitigate the potential risks to the taxpayers.
"I suspect it would be very difficult for a private operator to get as good of a third party surety as we would need if we're going to protect the county from potential financial problems on the part of the private operator," she said. "No matter where you live in relationship to the airport, I think that's something we have to be concerned about."
Also in attendance Thursday night were Founding Fathers Tea Party chairman Steve Ramey, Citizens for a Better Gwinnett board member Jim Regan and Gwinnett Citizens for a Responsible Government chairwoman Sabrina Smith. All three expressed opposition to the commercialization of Briscoe Field.
Smith compared the current situation with the Lawrenceville airport to the battle over the trash plan and the Gwinnett Braves stadium.
"This is much bigger," she said. "Every taxpayer in Gwinnett County, no matter how far away they are from the airport, will be on the hook."
Nash emphasized the privatization process is a long and arduous one, but cautioned those in attendance not to assume the process will fail.
"The time is now to take commercialization off the table," she said. "The more I dig into it, the more I see it as not just an issue for those closest to the airport."

Enarson and Hucker Steal the Show at Texas Toast, NORA Cup
There's no BMX event quite like Texas Toast. What it lacks in mega sponsors and guilded venues, it more than makes up for in energy and excitement and spontaneity. Time limits are relative, boundaries don't really exist; the crowd calls the end of a run, the riders dictate when and how they ride and no one is any less stoked on what goes down, from the organizers to the fans to the sponsors. It's a BMX event exactly as the BMX community likes it.
"Texas Toast is insane, there's no event like it in America. It's the closest event there is to the European vibe that there is; everyone is partying, having a good time, just psyched about BMX and that's what it's all about," said Mike "Hucker" Clark, who was a fan-favorite all weekend long. "You can do a fun trick that you don't do every day and the crowd is just as psyched as a 360 double tailwhip. It just goes to show that BMX isn't just about big tricks and contests, it's all about fun, That's why we're all here and why we all started."
The third annual event in Austin, Texas brought BMXers cruising across town from every nook and cranny of the county. Fans came in from Dallas and Houston and as far away as Wyoming. Texas Toast is as core as core gets in BMX and anyone who's a fan wants to be apart of the unique experience. Hucker and Dennis Enarson and Chad Kerley roam the crowd, groms can hop on the Vert ramp for a first-ever drop-in and then choose to ride the "Gauntlet of Death" (it's much less gruesome than it sounds) alongside one of their favorite pros. And all this goes on amongst the wood piles of a lumberyard which plays host to the event.
While Hucker is all about keeping it fun and putting on a show, he's no less the tactician on the dirt course. Between his goofy faces and pelvic thrusts, he'd add in tailwhips, rotations and some of the best amplitude of the weekend. After finishing up Finals of Dirt, he cruised over to the Vert ramp for some demo rides and crashed on his first run, knocking himself out briefly and earning a gurney ride. He came up smiling and throwing shakas to the crowd and back amongst the masses within 30 minutes watching the Street Finals, where Enarson was in the process of stealing the show.
"The fans here are true BMX fans, they know what's up," Enarson explained. "You go to most big events and some dude does a backflip and the fans freak out, here a dude does a backflip and they're like, 'we know that's not that hard,' someone does a bar-to-bar back 360 and they get rowdy for that. It's a real BMX contest, as core as it gets."
At the Street Finals, improvisation was the name of the game. Airs from one feature to another, tech wall rides, tech rail rides, even an 'I'm-out!' over the fence boost from Trey Jones. Riders had 40 seconds to complete their runs and then a 10-minute jam session, but clocks went out the window when Van Homan or Ryan "Biz" Jordan were trying to stick technical combinations, with the announcers dropping F-bombs (common all weekend) and the crowd amping up the riders.
Every night, the focus shifted from the venue to 6th Street in Downtown Austin, where there was always something going on. A Bell Helmets art show, general debauchery, and the world premiere of the MARKIT ZERO movie from Enarson and his crew. The fire marshal had to temporarily shut the premiere down because so many people turned out, but all went to plan eventually.
On Sunday night, after all the runs had been completed, the party continued on at the 17th annual Ride BMX NORA Cup Awards. The open-to-the-public event brought the rowdiness to a new level in-between the announcement of winners. Hucker finished third in Dirt, while Enarson was second. Enarson took the Street win to close out the Texas Toast categories. The NORA Cup awards on voted on by the riders and the fans, and Hucker – as we said, a crowd favorite – was voted "Dirt Rider of the Year" for the second consecutive year. "I never thought I'd ever even win this thing once," he said afterward, moments before calling his mom to break the news.
Just after Hucker's win, Enarson was welcomed back to the stage to receive the "Ramp Rider of the Year" award. After a great speech about how BMX was all he's ever wanted to do and will always do, he joined his people, being crowd-surfed to close the evening.
"As long as this events goes on, I'll keep coming back," Enarson said afterward, with a big grin on his face and a handful of event hardware. "There's something special about Texas Toast; the crowd, the riding that goes down, everything. There's nothing that can touch it; it's the best event of the year."

McALESTER —
A former Quinton police officer pleaded guilty recently to embezzling guns.
Eric Stinnett, 34, of Webber Falls, was charged in September in Pittsburg County District Court with one count of second degree burglary and one count of embezzlement.
After pleading guilty to the amended charge, Stinnett was fined $500 and judgment and sentencing were deferred for five years. The second count was dismissed.
According to court records, Stinnett broke into the office of the administrator's evidence lock-up and took two guns. Stinnett was interviewed regarding three missing guns, according to a police affidavit by Quinton Police Chief Tim Reavis, and Stinnett said he took two of them — a Rugar 10/22 rifle and a Savage 410 shotgun.
According to court records, Stinnett pawned the Rugar on July 8. "The pawned gun and one of the other guns have been recovered," the affidavit states.
Quinton Town Clerk Charlene Cass said that Stinnett is no longer employed there. He was a Quinton police officer from May 30, 2012, to Sept. 13, 2012, Cass said.
After pleading guilty, Stinnett was ordered by the court to surrender his CLEET certification, court records state.

As an early childhood studies major at Plymouth State University, you will discover that teaching young children is interesting, challenging, and meaningful work. Our department emphasizes the importance of building relationships with children and families and regarding each child as a worthy individual. We focus on preparing early childhood educators who can partner with families to promote children's healthy development, engage them in learning, and prepare the foundations for bright futures.
We recognize that children live and learn within families and communities beyond the classroom. In order to truly understand and appreciate each child, you must also learn about these broader contexts. Our students develop these understandings through classroom and field experiences that require thoughtfulness, intellectual curiosity, openness to other perspectives, and responsibility for children's well-being.
Field experiences are an integral part of the early childhood studies degree, and students begin observing and interacting with children in early childhood settings during their very first semester at Plymouth State. These field experiences range from extensive, supervised practicum experiences with toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners at Plymouth State University's nationally accredited Center for Young Children and Families to year-long apprenticeships in primary grade classrooms in area public schools.
Early childhood majors can choose from among three options, depending on your career goals:
The Teacher Certification PreK-Grade 3 Option focuses on the content knowledge and pedagogical skills needed to teach in public schools in preschool through third grade. The four-year teacher certification program is accredited by the state of New Hampshire and has achieved national recognition from the National Center for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). It includes a full-year apprenticeship in a primary grade classroom in our early childhood professional development school or partnership school and opportunities to build professional relationships with teachers.
The Early Care and Education Option prepares students to work with children ages birth through eight in early childhood settings, including preschools, child care centers, Head Start, and after-school programs. Coursework and field experiences focus on teaching and caring for children birth through 5 in partnership with their families. Students graduate with over 300 hours of supervised practicum experiences in a variety of early childhood classrooms and settings.
The Early Intervention Option offers the knowledge and skills needed to provide specialized supports and services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families through home visits and in early intervention settings. It includes a supervised practicum experience in an early intervention program. This option is designed so that it can be taken in conjunction with the early care and education option.

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski may be pro-life, but he supports a form of choice when it comes to birth control and abortion treatment. The Illinois Democrat believes schools, non-profits and other groups openly aligned with religious organizations have the right to not offer contraception, birth control or abortion-inducing drugs as part of their health insurance benefits.
The Democrat congressman recently expressed his disapproval with President Barack Obama's Jan. 20 notice that private employers will have to cover birth control, even those who are religiously opposed to such treatment.
"The exemption is so narrow that only the churches themselves where Catholic priests are administrators will be exempt," Lipinski said Monday. "Cardinal Joseph Bernardin and any Catholic school, Catholic hospitals, Catholic charities will all have to cover free of charge things that the Catholic Church and other religious organizations don't believe in. I really think that's a violation of conscience rights."
A few opt-out options have been discussed in Washington D.C., leading up to what Lipinski predicted would be backlash to the requirement. He said the House is likely to do something, but was less certain about Senate action.
"I'm not someone who is always out there screaming about the government forcing us to do things we don't want to do," Lipinski said. "I know it's important to be careful about government rules and freedom, but this is the first time I've been really shocked that something is being forced, that people are forced to do something they don't believe in."
In contrast, Lipinski offered words of praise to students, staff and families of Monday during a visit, as part of a weeklong tour to area Catholic schools.
For the sixth year in a row, Lipinski introduced a House resolution on Capitol Hill acknowledging efforts by Catholic schools to "produce academically successful students, foster a commitment to service, family, and community, and accept students from all faiths and backgrounds," he said in a release.
Lipinski gave CJB a copy of the resolution and spoke to the whole school via a televised broadcast to classrooms, recorded by CJB students.
"I'm very proud to be a graduate of Catholic elementary and high schools," Lipinski said during the broadcast. "Catholic schools mean a lot to me. I hope the kids understand what the principals, priests, teachers, administrators and your parents, all the sacrifices they make to have you here."
During the week, he also visited , in Lemont, St. Andrew School in Romeoville, St. Linus School in Oak Lawn and St. Symphorosa School in Chicago.

Even if they refused to sell their product, they would most likely either be beaten into submission, or killed. Its all about money, thats why doctors are NEVER going to cure cancer, know why ?, there making shitloads of money from the treatments, fuck the cure, weres the money in that. Its the same with AIDS etc. Doctors dont cure shit.
Also, Nice post FF, but you forgot to add the fact that you drive a car and live in a large house that would use lots of electricity. So infact, your no environmentalist are you
That is utterly not true! You think doctors delibrately hide a cure or attempt to not find a cure for cancer? If they didn't cure shit, you'd have died of the common cold you ungrateful bastard. If you learn more about cancers and AIDS, you'd realise why they're so hard to find cures for. However, the actual RELEASING of cures, then you may be correct. Pharmaceutical companies, especially in AIDS, want to have a monopoly on it. Problem is though, Africa is a poor country and its where AIDS is hitting the most. Catch 22, companies don't get cash, people don't get cured. The stuff about oil companies I agree on though.
Onto Scott's point, you're Victorian, surely you've heard of the wind farm plans in the Gippslands? Bloody assholes there keep complaining about unsightly turbines though, more about political ambition than cash, for not oil based economy countries I'd think anyway.
Edit: Scientists try to find cures anyway, not doctors in most cases.

Maroons take out Louisville Waggener 71-54 in opener
By HEATHER BOATMAN, CJ Correspondent
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
Pulaski began the Lake Cumberland Hoops Classic Thursday night on their home court playing Louisville Waggener. The Maroons were able to come out with a 71-54 victory over the Wildcats.
"I am pleased with this win, I thought we could have played better," stated coach Al Gover. "I think we could have played with more intensity, we didn't get after them as hard as we could have."
In the first quarter Pulaski went on a 12-3 run over the Wildcats, senior Taylor Gover scored ten of those for his club. The Maroons forced six turnovers for the quarter. The score to end the period was 16-8 Pulaski's lead.
In the second quarter the Maroons were able to increase their lead over Waggener. The Maroons were able to force another five turnovers in this period of play. Pulaski went into the break with an 11-point lead. The score at halftime was 30-19.
The Maroons held on to their lead not allowing the Wildcats any chance to get back into the game. In the third quarter Pulaski shot 12 free throw attempts making only six of them. At the end of the third period the Maroons had stretched their lead to 24-point difference 53-29 was the score after three periods of play.
In the fourth quarter Pulaski didn't let up much. This was the only quarter the Wildcats were able to out score the Maroons but their efforts were too little too late. The final score was 71-54.
Pulaski's season record is 6-3 with this win and they returned to action last night in the Lake Cumb-erland Hoops Classic play Taylor County in the Maroons gym.
"Taylor Cou-nty is a really good team and they have some good players who can shoot the ball," Coach Gover stated. "We will be in trouble if we come out and go through the motions like we did tonight."
Pulaski: Gover 31, Johnson 16, Goins 9, Burton 7, Baker 3, Lorman 2, Laign 2, Helton 1
Waggener: Kirby 14, Dennison 11, Washington 9, Brooks 9, Adams 8, Stallard 5, Carr 4

Roughly half these scenes are from the early 80s, not the 70s. Picture quality and lighting is bad throughout. There are a lot of hairy girls but I didn't find any scene on this compilation to be worthwhile. If you can tolerate the grainy picture and can do without any true erotic feel then it is just an ok rental. I love classic clips so can't complain.
Not a single scene should be included as one of his best. What they did is take nearly all anal scenes to make this title. Also, the only cute girl is 18 year-old Judy Star in I believe her very first adult scene, the rest of the girls are seasoned porn stars and not to my liking. They should have at least included super cute Melissa Milano in this title. If you don�t care for viewing anal sex, then don�t rent this.
I try to check out any titie with the word cheerleader in it. Yet, the only girl that resembles a cheerleader for real on this volume is 21 year-old Naudia Nyce. Her scene is too short and nothing special. The other girls do not look like cheerleaders and the sex is just flat. Picture quality is grainy. This is a 2004 release but feels much older.
There are 4 scenes on this volume and no extras, only a lame photo gallery which is a waste of time as is nearly all photo galleries. One decent scene has two cute cheerleaders matched with Tyce Bune. There is too much anal sex on this title unless that is your taste and only the cheerleaders scene is worthwhile although it is nothing that special.
This is a fetish title with sub par sex. It does not play like a typical title, instead you have to select the topic you prefer to see. The cast of girls is nice but the way it was shot is downright boring and it has zero erotic feel to it. All the performers appear to be from someplace in Europe.
I didn't find this to be that bad. The girls and guys have been around the block for some time and have for the most part lengthy resumes. I thought the scenes were too brief and should have been considerably longer. They all seem to end too soon, especially the two scenes with old veteran Don Fernando. The Lyla Lei and Kyle Phillips opening scene is by far the best with excellent camera work. These are just average looking girls who seem to be enjoying the sex and not faking it.
Aside from Stephanie Swift, the girls are not at all attractive. The sex is passionless, costumes are gaudy and all of the sex is jaded and mechanical. Condoms are used in most action and the girls and guys are your prolific porn stars. Not a single girl is young either. I kept pressing the skip button it was that bad. Wicked studio for some reason likes skanky looking girls, likely a result of signing these girls to long-term contracts which results in sub par performances.
Why put out a cheerleader title and then completely throw it out the door? They strip the girls fast, remove their skirts and it is has no erotic appeal. Gauge is her usual disinterested self and although she could fit the cheerleader role well with her tight body, she is in a flat scene with her boyfriend, Mojo, and Dave Hardman. The girls are not cute. Stay away from this or waste a rental like I did.
The sex scenes were decent but I found them nothing special. It is similar to watching prolific porn stars have sex. After you see the same girls and guys over and over again it becomes jaded. They should have cut back on the makeup. I found the title 'Art School Sluts' far more appealing and it follows a similar format to this one.
There are only four scenes and none is that good. Two scenes are shot POV and it has a lot of poor camera work. Picture quality is grainy. This is a 1998 release. There is a bonus movie but you must have a PC DVD Rom Drive to view it. I don't so was out of luck. Other than Don Fernando who directed this film, most of the performers don't have much adult film experience.
