Well That Sucked -- The Weekend In Review
There were numerous defensive breakdowns throughout the entire weekend, and if not for Barry Brust's play in goal, there's no telling how bad the losses would have been. And twice over the weekend the Aeros gave up short-handed goals. I see the stats, and I know the Aeros are supposed to have a good power play, but when's the last time we've seen a power play goal from this team at Toyota Center?
Kevin Constantine defended the team's offense tonight, saying that while the team wasn't scoring, it was getting good chances, and that all that you can ask is for a team to get good chances. The problem, as I saw it, however, was that the right players weren't getting the good chances. Some of today's best chances came from Brandon Rogers. I like Rogers a lot, but he's not the guy who should be having the best scoring chances.
And I know the played three games in three days and that they were tired. But I hate that excuse. The Chicago Wolves were playing their third game in three days tonight, all on the road, and they were missing some of their best players. But that didn't get to them. And not to go off on a rant, but I'll tell you what's hard and tiring. Try being so damn desperate work that you have to take a temp job that demands you work 11 hours a day, five days a week, and wants you to work weekends -- and where they make you ask permission to go to the doctor if you're having problems with your hearing because you didn't request that time back last month before the job started. That's hard. That's tiring.
I'm going on too long about something that has nothing to do with the game. I'm just disappointed, and I know that I didn't see the team play on the ice like they're capable of playing.
One further note: Peter Zingoni was reinjured in Friday night's loss. I saw him Saturday before the game, and he wasn't in the best of spirits, and I can't help but feel for the guy. He was just trying to make a play on offense, trying to get off on a breakaway, and he went to hit a guy in front of him, and just like that he was hurt. You can just see not only how pained he is by the injury, but how pained he is by not being able to play.
He missed most of last season with an injury, and he came to Houston hoping to prove that that season was a fluke. He got off to a really hot start, and teamed up with rookies Cody Almond and Carson McMillan, he looked to be having a break out year. Then he hurt his knee, and he's been in-and-out, mostly out, for the season.
That's it. Thanks, as always, for reading us here at T3I. We do appreciate it.

Synopsis : "Gee, that was an entertaining game……. NOT!"
Beatles' Song John Should Choose : "Outclassed". OK, there is no such song. Maybe Sir Paul can write it tonight.
Playoffs 2010 : Go ahead and book that cruise for April 17th. Especially if you have DirecTV. The ship might have Versus. TV or OInternet are the only way you're going to see playoff hockey in Houston. Split with the worst team in the North and dominated by the Wolves this weekend ….not good at all.
Aeros' Third Jersey: The same absolutely awful red and green unis worn by the Wild. Don't the people up there realize that Red and Green clash? Also, the red sweaters seem to confuse our guys – they seem incapable of passing to people in red sweaters. Too bad we weren't playing Abbotsford or Binghamton.
KC: A good coach apparently grasping at straws at this point – e.g., the goalie switch out.
Koharski : More of his usual nonsense, such as the charging call on Daoust. But not anywhere close to a deciding factor. Even with good officiating (if that exists at all in the AHL - - maybe it does out east somewhere) we would still have sucked today.
Brust: Good for the first period or so (score should have been 3-0 Chicago after one), then maybe ran out of gas due to the offense's inability to keep the puck in the attack zone.
D : Spotty. At times good except for poor clearing and non-existent break-out passing.
Speaking of passing : Stop buying sticks at Walmart. Or maybe that's where the Wild get players?
Offense : What offense? Three goals in three games…….
Chelios : This game would have been worth going to if he had played, but he was a no-show for the second time. Would have been his third and three days so he would probably have had to use his walker, which the league won't allow on ice. Suspect he took a private jet to Chicago after Saturday night's game….
Personal Frustration Level (0-10 scale) = 9.5
OK – Consoled myself tonight with comfort food and vicarious revenge by watching the USA thrash China.

Wolves just too good. That's all! But, I do like the red jerseys, I hate white! Word is bilen as in BILE?

I think this team is more disappointing than Daum's last year as coach whatever year that was. (I'm fighting off a bad cold and the meds are screwing with my memory.) All I can say is the score could/should have been worse except Brust kept us in the game during the first period. There were too many errant passes right to Wolves players. Two shorties against in three games? I agree with Forecheck. I'm not counting on playoffs this season.

To All (Arm-Chair Quarterbacks) Commentators: You might feel better if you just relaxed and "experienced the game", appreciating the fact that you can see "live" hockey in Houston and enjoy a degree of personal interaction with the coaches and players (season ticket holders, at least).
Backward to August-September (when the "disappointing" team roster became a reality), very few serious fans expected the Aeros to make the playoffs or even play above 500. That the Aeros final finish in the surprisingly-competitive Western Division will be 5th, 6th or last is consistent with these expectations and of little concern to the WILD. However, what should be of concern to the WILD is the relative dearth of clearly-definable NHL talent on the Aeros roster...after all, the AHL is all about developing skilled players for the NHL. IMO Kevin Constantine has done a remarkable job with the hand he has been dealt.
The Chicago Wolves rooster is a case in point: 15 of 26 slots on the Valentine's Day roster carried NHL ice time (3 or more games) from the most recent (2008-9) season, as opposed to just 4 Aeros (Hilbert, Gilles, Earl and Dubie)...and, of course, Hilbert's ice-time has been limited (21 games) due to injuries. The Wolves talent and solid offensive structure was on display again, even with frequent flaws in execution...the "0-0 spell" was, finally broken with Matt Anderson's smooth execution of the 2nd period "shortie", dooming the out-classed Aeros to another home loss.
The obvious said, for those of us who may watch TV hockey but really enjoy traveling to other AHL and NHL venues to "experience the game", the Aeros are but a small fish in a big pond (of hockey). May all serious Aeros fans hope that the WILD 3-year program of finding, contracting, and building "new talent" to support a perennial Stanley Cup contender begins to take shape during the 2010-11 season (with KC at the Aeros helm).
Go Aeros!

@ Forecheck:
I felt it was entertaining..
All hockey at all levels is entertaining.
Win or loose it's fun to see/feel the speed, the rush, the stops, the - well yes, even the fights- so, yes it is entertaining!
@ICEVET: Agreed, and after all, there IS hockey here.

Which team was Earl playing for ?
Watching from the audience, it seemed Earl was NOT playing for the Aeros.

I think you could say that about several guys. Testwuide in particular needs to use his noggin a lot more than he did this weekend. Bad penalties and some pretty bad decisions with the puck (though to his credit, I also recall some really gutsy blocks, too).
- February 16, 2010 at 10:22 AM
ICEVET - Agreed on KC. He seems to get more out of his guys than most coaches can.
Regarding restocking the Aeros, the new Wild management just had their first draft this summer, and from what I remember, it was considered quite a snoozer. In fact they have already traded their #1 draft choice and he's still in juniors.
So, assuming the Wild get serious about learning how to draft talented 17-year old hockey players (including an actual healthy percentage of Europeans for a change) who won't turn out to be problem children, the soonest we will see them is 2013. That's a long wait!
I wouldn't count on a lot of free agent help, since the Wild seem to be too cheap to get any for us for more than a year at a time. They were willing to do so when it looked like Foy, Voloshenko, and Sully were going to make it to the Wild the following year (and look how that worked out). They did get some scoring help to make the team somewhat competitive last season but the new crew decided to do away with even that this year.
I'm getting the idea though that maybe, just maybe, the new ownership not only doesn't care if the Aeros are any good, they might not care if the Wild are any good. If they can pack the Excel with a mediocre (or worse) team every night simply because it is in Minneapolis, why spend the money on talent?
Word verification "aliess" - a false name used by bad spellers.
- February 16, 2010 at 10:29 AM
Yeah, Ms. - the guys are gutsy on the blocks. I think that shows how much they respect KC.
Word verification "coking" - something I refuse to do.

Once a guy has tasted the 'Northern atmosphere';-), it seems to me that the AHL is not longer worth their efforts.
That appears to be true of Earl, AND several others I could mention, YOU know who they might be.
One though, I feel, is not influenced as much, and that is Jon "Speedy" DiSalvatore, who gives every game as much as he possibly can, oft truly 100%, and one has to admire this professionalism.
Of course, I am no expert, but wouldn't it be better all around plus serve their goals, IF they play here as if on NHL ice to prove their worth for any NHL teams looking? Instead of slacking when they do not get their own way!
Being Mardi Gras, the word is fathydw.. how apropos LOL.

Interferon type I
Human type I interferons comprise a vast and growing group of IFN proteins.
All type I IFNs bind to a specific cell surface receptor complex known as the IFN-α receptor (IFNAR) that consists of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 chains.
Homologous molecules to type I IFNs are found in many species, including all mammals, and some have been identified in birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish species.[1][2] Joyce Taylor-Papadimitriou was the first to identify that the action of interferon type 1 requires the synthesis of effector proteins.
Mammalian types[edit]
The mammalian types are designated IFN-α (alpha), IFN-β (beta), IFN-κ (kappa), IFN-δ (delta), IFN-ε (epsilon), IFN-τ (tau), IFN-ω (omega), and IFN-ζ (zeta, also known as limitin).[3][4]
The IFN-α proteins are produced by leukocytes. They are mainly involved in innate immune response against viral infection. They come in 13 subtypes that are called IFNA1, IFNA2, IFNA4, IFNA5, IFNA6, IFNA7, IFNA8, IFNA10, IFNA13, IFNA14, IFNA16, IFNA17, IFNA21. These genes for these IFN-α molecules are found together in a cluster on chromosome 9.
IFN-α is also made synthetically as medication. Types are:
The IFN-β proteins are produced in large quantities by fibroblasts. They have antiviral activity that is involved mainly in innate immune response. Two types of IFN-β have been described, IFN-β1 (IFNB1) and IFN-β3 (IFNB3)[5] (a gene designated IFN-β2 is actually IL-6). IFN-β1 is used as a treatment for multiple sclerosis as it reduces the relapse rate.
IFN-β1 is not an appropriate treatment for patients with progressive, non-relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.[6]
IFN-ε, –κ, -τ, -δ, and –ζ[edit]
IFN-ε, –κ, -τ, and –ζ appear, at this time, to come in a single isoform in humans, IFNK. Only ruminants encode IFN-τ, a variant of IFN-ω. So far, IFN-ζ is found only in mice, while a structural homolog, IFN-δ is found in a diverse array of non-primate and non-rodent placental mammals. Most but not all placental mammals encode functional IFN-ε and IFN-κ genes.
IFN-ω, although having only one functional form described to date (IFNW1), has several pseudogenes: IFNWP2, IFNWP4, IFNWP5, IFNWP9, IFNWP15, IFNWP18, and IFNWP19 in humans. Many non-primate placental mammals express multiple IFN-ω subtypes
This subtype of Type I IFN was recently described as a pseudogene in human, but potentially functional in the domestic cat genome. In all other genomes of non-feline placental mammals, IFN-ν is a pseudogene; in some species, the pseudogene is well preserved, while in others, it is badly mutilated or is undetectable. Moreover, in the cat genome, the IFN-ν promoter is deleteriously mutated. It is likely that the IFN-ν gene family was rendered useless prior to mammalian diversification. Its presence on the edge of the Type I IFN locus in mammals may have shielded it from obliteration, allowing its detection.
Sources and functions[edit]
IFN-α and IFN-β are secreted by many cell types including lymphocytes (NK cells, B-cells and T-cells), macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, osteoblasts and others. They stimulate both macrophages and NK cells to elicit an anti-viral response, and are also active against tumors. Recently, plasmacytoid dendritic cells have been identified as being the most potent producers of type I IFNs in response to antigen, and have thus been coined natural IFN producing cells. Current study findings suggest that by forcing IFN-α expression in tumor-infiltrating macrophages, it is possible to elicit a more effective dendritic cell activation and immune effector cell cytotoxicity.[7]
IFN-ω is released by leukocytes at the site of viral infection or tumors.
IFN-α acts as a pyrogenic factor by altering the activity of thermosensitive neurons in the hypothalamus thus causing fever. It does this by binding to opioid receptors and eliciting the release of prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2).
A similar mechanism is used by IFN-α to reduce pain; IFN-α interacts with the μ-opioid receptor to act as an analgesic.[8]
In mice, IFN-β inhibits immune cells to produce growth factors, thereby slowing tumor growth, and inhibits other cells from producing vessel producing growth factors, thereby blocking tumor angiogenesis and hindering the tumour from connecting into the blood vessel system.[9][10]
Non-mammalian types[edit]
Avian Type I IFNs have been characterized and preliminarily assigned to subtypes (IFN I, IFN II, and IFN III), but their classification into subtypes should await a more extensive characterization of avian genomes.
Functional lizard Type I IFNs can be found in lizard genome databases.
Turtle Type I IFNs have been purified (references from 1970s needed). They resemble mammalian homologs.
The existence of amphibian Type I IFNs have been inferred by the discovery of the genes encoding their receptor chains. They have not yet been purified, or their genes cloned.
Piscine (bony fish) Type I IFN has been cloned in several teleost species. With few exceptions, and in stark contrast to avian and especially mammalian IFNs, they are present as single genes (multiple genes are however seen in polyploid fish genomes, possibly arising from whole-genome duplication). Unlike amniote IFN genes, piscine Type I IFN genes contain introns, in similar positions as do their orthologs, certain interleukins.

2013 Audi Allroad 2.0 TFSI Premium Plus review notes
A raised A4 wagon
EDITOR WES RAYNAL: There are a couple ways you can look at this 2013 Audi Allroad 2.0 TFSI, in my opinion. It could be considered a jacked-up bigger-tired A4 wagon (a regular version of which you can't get anymore here in the U.S.) or a lower, better-handling Q5. (Looking on the Audi site, I see you can load these up to around $53k, which, you know, holy mackerel!)
I've gone on the record market many times saying how much I like the Volkswagen Group 2.0-liter turbo coupled with the A4 chassis. A good amount of power and torque coupled to a nice, smooth transmission, and good fuel mileage to boot.
So there's that. Another thing the Allroad has going for it is an as-usual terrific Audi interior in terms of build quality and fit and finish.
The engine sitting out over the front axles doesn't bother me so much with the four-cylinder as it does with the V6 in, say, the Q5 and in fact this thing feels a whole lot like a regular A4 wagon. I was never really feeling the taller ride height. Perhaps a back-to-back drive with an old A4 wagon would show some differences. It's a competent driver, perhaps not overly exciting though. The ride is comfortable, but the steering is simply too light. There's no two ways around that.
As a Q5 alternative, though, or a small all-season wagon, it's not bad. I could see this being a nice car for a youngish couple with a place up north that they go to all year-around.
DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: As a Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen owner, I was looking forward to driving a taller, AWD, A4 version of my car. For the most part, the Audi didn't disappoint. The combination of 2.0-liter turbo power, an eight-speed automatic and quattro works beautifully, giving the Allroad a true premium compact wagon feel. I would prefer a more aggressive sport mode, but the gearbox shifts with near-DSG quickness in manual mode. On the downside, the otherwise-fantastic brakes howled like a Georgia coonhound when the temperatures dropped below 38 degrees; I'm not sure if it's pad compound or glazed rotors from a previous journalist, but with just 5,000-miles on our tester's clock it's a potential customer service issue Audi needs to watch.
The panoramic moonroof really brightens up the Allroad's cabin, and the power rear liftgate is a nice surprise on a smaller vehicle like this -- hardly necessary, but fun to find. On the other hand, the absence of a rear-view camera on a $43,000 family-oriented wagon is inexcusable. It's an option on the Premium Plus, becoming standard only when Prestige is selected, simultaneously pushing this four-banger wagon up against $50k.
On the subject of price, Audi appears bent on burgling $5,000 from customers for the privilege of driving a station wagon. An A4 quattro sedan comparably equipped runs between $4,000 and $5,000 less; are we to believe that the jacked-up suspension and two extra panes of glass command such a premium?
C'mon Audi -- part of your credibility in recent years has been the relative value you offer. While your Bavarian neighbors charge extra for options like side-view mirror paint and contrast armrest stitching, your cars have made relative fiscal sense. Now you're going to pull a carrot-and-stick move by offering enthusiasts a delightful sport wagon, and then saddle it with a nonsensical price premium?
Perhaps you should just borrow from Ticketmaster and put a $5,000 wagon "convenience charge" on the window sticker. As they've shown, it doesn't hurt sales, but it certainly doesn't breed brand ambassadors either.
NEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: This is a small market -- premium crossover/wagons with lofty price tags. If that's what you're looking for, this is a decent one. It drives well, has a sharp cabin and is more elegant than a Subaru Outback.
Like others, I feel this rig is a bit overpriced. I know off-road machines have pedestrian wheel arches so they can be discarded when you scuff and dent them while conquering the trail. But really, how many people are going to do that with this vehicle? For the rest of the time, they look cheap, which is the opposite of the simple class Audis usually exude. The features seem a bit odd too. How can you not have a backup camera for this price tag? The electronics weren't particularly intuitive, either. And there's no navigation system? Seriously? For this price! I could have used one when I was trying to pinpoint an after-work hotspot in Detroit's Midtown area. I kept missing it by a couple of blocks. According to the Audi website, that costs me another $3,000.
The bones of this car are there, however. The packaging -- features offered and some of the exterior styling -- falls short. But the engine is a gem. The 2.0-liter turbo is torquey, fast and effortlessly builds speed when attacking expressway lanes. The eight-speed is an eager partner, and the chassis is well-sorted. Factor in the slightly elevated ride height, and there's a good deal of confidence offered. I like the steering. It is light, like Raynal points out, but I was OK with that considering it's such a lengthy crossover.
The interior is classy. It's an excellent environment in which to drive thanks to the panoramic moonroof. It's great to let in twinkling street lights and other urban flashes during evening drives with cold air clearing your mind. The following morning the cabin provided a quiet atmosphere, even with some heating vents in operation.
Overall, I liked the car, and Audi's determination to offer such a product. But I feel like the execution falls a little short.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sept. 22, 2010
Residents advised about wastewater bypasses in the Northland
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department reports that due to storm related issues and mechanical failures more than 1 million gallons of wastewater was discharged into Walnut Creek and Line Creek Watersheds last night.
Bypasses occurred at:
Line Creek Pump Station
Mace Road Pump Station
In addition, the Department is currently pumping sewage into trucks and hauling wastewater to control an overflow at the Tiffany Lakes Pump Station. This pump station is located in the Second Creek Watershed and is experiencing high flows due to the wet weather events the last couple of days.
The release of untreated sewage from sewer systems, such as this, is known as a sanitary sewer overflow and represents a potential threat to public health and the environment. Most of the overflows occur during wet weather events.
For more information, contact Colleen Doctorian, public information officer for the Water Services Department at (816) 513-0232.
The Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department maintains and operates water collection, processing and distribution systems, stormwater management and control systems, and waste water collection and processing systems for residential and business customers in Kansas City and for wholesale customers in the Kansas City region. Operation is funded entirely by fees charged to customers based on their use of products and services, not by taxes.

For Transfer Students
If you are considering transferring to Elizabethtown College, you probably have some questions like the ones below. Please contact the Office of Admissions for information on how to apply to the College.
Q: Is there a limit to the number of credits accepted in transfer to Elizabethtown College?
A: A maximum of 64 credits may be transferred from a regionally accredited 2 year institution. An unlimited number of credits may be transferred from a regionally accredited 4-year institution. However, only those credits being used to fulfill graduation requirements are posted to the transcript.
Q: When will I find out which of my credits are transferable to Elizabethtown College?
A: A preliminary evaluation of your transfer credits will be done upon acceptance to the College. Final evaluations are completed after all official transcripts are received and students have deposited.
Q: When and how do I register for classes?
A: As soon as the matriculation deposit is received by the College, a letter is sent to the student describing the registration process. Students need to meet with an advisor (in person, by email or phone) to discuss appropriate courses for the student's first semester at Elizabethtown. Students are able to register themselves for classes through the college's ECWeb.
Q: What if the courses I have completed were taken over five years ago?
A: Many liberal arts courses, for example History or English, are accepted regardless of how long ago they were completed. Education and Computer Science courses are just a few of the areas that, due to changes in methods and/or technology, may not be accepted if required for a major. The academic department governing the major requirements will make this determination.
Q: Do my grades and/or my GPA transfer?
A: No. Only credits transfer to Elizabethtown College. Grades for transfer courses are not posted on the permanent record card, and students begin their studies at Elizabethtown with credits but no GPA.
Q: If I complete an Associate's degree program at my former institution, am I guaranteed Junior status at Elizabethtown?
A: Completion of an Associate's degree does not guarantee the number of credits accepted in transfer or class standing at Elizabethtown.
Q: Is there a special orientation program for transfer students?
A: Yes, special transfer orientations are held both in August and January. The Director of Academic Advising and several peer counselors plan academic, social and recreational activities to support the transition into the Elizabethtown College Community.

Laguna Shores to Debut in Bangkok at Property Exhibition
Media Release
Laguna Property, Phuket's largest developer of high quality resort residences, will debut its new Laguna Shores affordable holiday apartments at the Investment Property Showcase to be held at Banyan Tree Bangkok on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 March.
This will be the first appearance in the capital for the development of stylish serviced one- and two-bedroom holiday apartments with lagoon and sea views, which has already caught the attention of Thai and international investors, and follows its recent successful overseas showing at a property exhibition in Hong Kong.
Set in the heart of the renowned Laguna Phuket destination resort, the 229-unit Laguna Shores development, a U-shaped building of three low-rise wings in landscaped grounds, will give owners access to a range of the popular resort's renowned lifestyle benefits.
Targeted at a new upwardly mobile, travel savvy generation, with prices starting at THB 3.7 million, Laguna Shores aims to be a secure investment combining the best of intelligent interior design with resort ambience in a picturesque setting.

Convenient payment plans of up to five years are available and quality furniture and fittings packages will also be offered. Investment and lifestyle rental programmes provide maximum flexibility and choice to investors.
Laguna Property recently began selling units in the third wing of the development following keen interest since its launch in December, which has seen almost 120 units reserved with investors of various nationalities including Thai, Chinese, Singaporean, Australian, British and Russian.
Construction of Laguna Shores is due to begin during the second half of this year, with completion expected in 2015.

Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE, Texas —
A 33-year-old convicted killer is facing execution for fatally shooting an off-duty Houston police sergeant.
Anthony Haynes is set to die Thursday evening in Huntsville for the death of Kent Kincaid 14 years ago. The officer and his wife were about a block from their Houston-area home and headed to meet some friends at a sports bar when an object from a passing pickup truck cracked their vehicle's windshield.
Kincaid drove up alongside the truck and both vehicles pulled over. He got out, told the people in the pickup he was a police officer and was reaching to produce his ID when Haynes pulled a gun and shot him in the head.
Haynes' lawyers are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the punishment.

Why Taxing the Rich May Be a Smart Move
Here's why, in a fragile economy, the wealthiest may be a good source of new revenue.
It's well known that a major sticking point in the battle over the fiscal cliff is whether to raise taxes on the richest Americans. President Obama has often repeated his view that Bush-era tax cuts should expire but only on those households making $250,000 or more. House Speaker John Boehner, meanwhile, has repeatedly shot down that idea, instead suggesting "cleaner, fairer tax code," with fewer loopholes and deductions, though he has not given specifics on which he would eliminate.
[Photos: Honoring Veterans Day]
There's any number of ways negotiations could play out—both sides seem to be warming to the idea of raising revenues without raising rates by broadening the tax base—and it's possible that "cleaning up the tax code" could end up landing disproportionately on wealthier Americans anyway (as our own Rick Newman pointed out last week). For example, one tax reform proposal outlined in the Simpson-Bowles report proposed (among other things) eliminating the mortgage interest deduction on second homes and taxing capital gains at ordinary income rates—ideas that would likely affect wealthier earners.
If the wealthy do end up bearing more of the burden, that could be a good thing. Taking tax dollars from the rich tends to be less detrimental to the economy than putting more of the burden on people who earn less, according to economists.
"Changes in tax rates have a bigger impact on the economy for people that are lower on the income scale," says Craig Alexander, chief economist at TD Economics. "And it's a reflection of the fact that people with less money save less, so if their taxes go up, it has a greater impact on spending."
[List: 10 Smart Ways to Improve Your Budget]
It's the same reason why many economists believe that GDP gets a bigger boost from unemployment benefits and food stamps than from certain tax cuts: People receiving those transfers tend to need (and spend) the money.
"The economic impact of tax cuts of people on the top is much smaller than for people on the bottom," agrees Brian Kessler, economist at Moody's Analytics. However, he acknowledges common arguments as to why this might discourage growth.
"The argument against that is there's this sort of long-term effect that is disincentivizing investment, disincentivizing risk-taking, disincentivizing work," explains Kessler.
[Report: China, India to Overtake U.S. Economy]
While some believe that higher taxes on the rich would therefore mean a major hit to jobs, Kessler is skeptical.
He points to the fact that tax rates on the highest-income taxpayers have fallen dramatically over the last few decades. According to the Congressional Research Service, the average rate paid by the top 0.1 percent of taxpayers fell from more than 40 percent in the early 1980s to around 25 percent in 2009. Despite that decline, he says, "we haven't seen a significant change in the job creation rate or a significant change in new business creation."
However, it's important to be clear that raising taxes on anyone still can impede growth. Less disposable income for anyone, be it Donald Trump or a minimum wage waitress, can mean less spending or investment. In a fragile economy, the United States of course needs whatever boost it can get. And that is what makes the fiscal cliff so scary, says Alexander. To go over it, he says, would be "unambiguously bad."
"The fact is the U.S. economy is still fragile. Every time there has been a significant shock, economic growth has stalled," he says.

General Questions
Q. What is Perfect Game?
We are the largest and most complete amateur baseball scouting service in the world, hosting more than 100 showcases and tournaments each year. We host showcases all over the United States that feature many of the best young players in the country. Our showcases are the perfect platform to see how you stack up with the best players in the country. Our WWBA and BCS tournaments are attended by many of the top travel teams in the country.
Q. How is Perfect Game beneficial to me?
Perfect Game gives players a quality environment to be seen by college coaches and Major League scouts. Coaches from nearly all of the 309 NCAA Division I programs regularly attends our events, along with coaches from Division II, Division III, NAIA and junior colleges. All 30 Major League teams also send scouts to our events, greatly enhancing each player's visibility. Our events also give players an opportunity to gauge their skills against their peers and have a positive experience.
Q. Is Perfect Game intended only for high school players?
Our tournaments range in age from 14U to 18U, corresponding to players at the high school level (or about to enter high school). Our showcases are typically geared toward high school players, but college players and free agents are invited to some events.
Q. What other services does Perfect Game provide?
Members of the Perfect Game staff file detailed scouting reports on the players at all of our events, and those reports are made available to college coaches and pro scouts for their use through a subscription service. We provide biographical material and contact information, as well as baseball analysis. We also offer a video service through BaseballWebTV. We also publish player rankings, team rankings, pre-draft analysis of high school and college players, feature stories on amateurs and pros, interviews, game stories and much more on our web site.
Q. Where does the information on the web site come from?
The information comes from the vast network of Perfect Game scouts around the country and from their contacts.
Q. Can I link to Perfect Game content from another site?
Yes, we encourage you to do so.
Q. Can I post Perfect Game information on another site?
No, our information is copyrighted. You may link to our site, but not post it yourself.
Subscription Questions
Q. What are the subscription levels?
Insider is $60 per year. Premium is $200 per year. Scout is $450 per year.
Q. Can I upgrade or downgrade after subscribing?
Yes. Just follow the "My Account" link located in the header.
Q. I've created an account but I cannot log in to the website?
The most likely reason for this is that your account has not yet been activated. If you've recently created an account then check the email address that you used to sign up. An email confirmation was sent out with instructions about activation.
Showcase Questions
Q. What is evaluated at a Perfect Game Showcase?
The most important things to evaluate on any player are his physical tools. For a position player, that is his hitting ability, fielding ability, speed/range, power potential and arm strength. For a pitcher, it is evaluating his delivery and arm action, along with his selection of pitches (i.e. fastball, curveball, changeup, etc.). A scout is also evaluating how much better he thinks a player is getting with normal growth and hard work (i.e. his projectability) for his body type and athleticism. Attention is definitely paid to a player's intangibles as much as possible (i.e. hustle, character on and off the field, etc.). One thing that is not especially important is performance, because anything can happen at a short showcase event.
Q. What is the difference between Top Prospect showcases and Underclass showcases?
Top Prospect showcases target upcoming seniors. We have stricter guidelines for inviting or approving players for these showcases and often require players to have been seen by PG staff or other reputable sources.
Q. How many college coaches and MLB scouts typically attend a showcase?
There are some showcases that attract hundreds of scouts and college coaches and there are some that will have much fewer. The most important thing to keep in mind is that thousands of colleges and all MLB teams utilize Perfect Game's website as an important scouting tool.
Q. Why are Perfect Game Showcases better than others?
PG dedicates our service not only to the players but to the scouts and college coaches. It starts with only inviting players that we think recruiters would want to see. Having prospects at our events and on our website increases their exposure to scouts and college coaches and allows the scouting community to utilize PG as an important scouting tool.
Q. I have been to Perfect Game tournaments. Why should I attend PG showcases?
PG scouts take notes on players at our tournaments, but it is at the showcase where we get more detailed information on each of the participants. Whatever activity the prospect is involved with on the field, our scouts watch and record detailed notes. During the workout sessions, we record 60-yard dash times and every throw from the infield, outfield and behind the plate gets radar-gunned. Catchers get their pop times recorded and pitchers get evaluated and their velocities recorded during scrimmage play. We video tape the workout portion of the showcase and video clips will be posted along with a comprehensive written report and PG grade on our website, which are heavily followed by college coaches and scouts. If you are looking for the highest level of exposure, you will want to attend a Perfect Game showcase.
Q. How is a typical showcase run?
Every participant at a Perfect Game showcase will be provided the opportunity to take part in a workout session, which typically includes a 60-yard dash and infield, outfield and catching throws to measure arm velocities, along with a batting practice session. Prospects will be divided into teams and full-length games (usually 10 innings) will be played to provide pitchers an opportunity to get in front of college coaches and scouts and give position players an opportunity to perform in game situations.
Tournament Questions
Q. What is difference between WWBA and BCS?
The WWBA is PG's wood bat division. The BCS is PG's metal bat division.
Q. Is there a coaches check-in/meeting prior to tournament?
No, PG does not have coaches check-in/meeting prior to tournament. They will receive their coaches packet at their first game.
Q. Is there a player check-in prior to the tournament?
PG does not have any player check in for tournaments.
Q. Are teams required to have birth certificates for each player?
PG doesn't require any proof of age unless a team protests a game due to an illegal player.
Q. When will games start?
Games of all tournaments will begin with 9AM games on the first date listed on a tournament unless otherwise noted.
Q. When will the championship game be done?
All championship games will start approximately 11:30AM on the last listed date of tournament unless otherwise noted.
Q. How do I get my roster listed online?
The team contact will receive an emailed link to click on to update the roster online.
Q. What is the tournament format?
Each tournament will have a different format, depending on how many teams and how many games will be played. It will be noted on the specific tournament page prior to the event.
Q. How do I get into the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter?
The WWBA World Championship, which is held annually in Jupiter, FL in late October is a strict invite-only event. It is our oldest and most prestigious event we run. It is limited to 85 teams, with well over 200 wanting in. There are 61 teams who are grandfathered in the event each year because they have been there for so many years. There are 17 PG teams, made up of top individual players not on a participating team. That leaves 7 spots for Qualifier winners. The only way to get a new team into this event that doesn't win a Qualifier is if a team drops out, which doesn't happen very often.
Q. What is the invitation process for the 16u and 17u WWBA National Championships?
For the 16u & 17u WWBA, the orders of invitations go as follows:
1. Teams that want to return to the 17u WWBA that participated in 2011.
2. Teams that finished well in the 2011 16u WWBA.
3. New teams that have requested invitations online.
Ranking Questions
Q. How are the national rankings compiled?
We carefully analyze all of the information at our disposal before making the rankings. We rely on personal observation, scouting reports, input from coaches and input from other scouts, trying to make the rankings as accurate as possible. The rankings are regularly adjusted as we receive new information.
Q. Do I have to attend a Perfect Game event in order to be ranked?
Definitely not, although a huge percentage (well over 90 percent) of the top players in the country attend multiple Perfect Game showcases and tournaments. While it's not necessary to attend a Perfect Game Showcase, it has become a big advantage for many players and allows us to make evaluations much more accurate. The more we see a player, the more we know about him, the more everyone knows about him. Our scouts attend many of the top high school events around the country, including the Area Code game, East Coast Professional Showcase, Junior Olympics and Tournament of Stars, to name a few. We also are continually talking to a network of professional scouts and college recruiters to identify the best players around the country. Our goal is to have the most comprehensive and complete rankings possible.

A Jeffersonville man received a 50-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to shooting a man in October 2011.
Joseph Mayes, 48, of Kopp Avenue, accepted a plea from the Office of the Clark County Prosecutor for a conviction of voluntary manslaughter in the killing of Anthony Redd, of Jeffersonville, who was a 46 years old at the time of his death.
The 50-year sentence is to be served 30 years in the Indiana Department of Correction and 20 years as a suspended-probation term. With good-time credit, Mayes could serve 15 years of the 30-year sentence, at which time he will begin his 20-year probation term.
The sentencing hearing took place in Clark County Circuit Court No. 1 with presiding Judge Daniel Moore.
Clark County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Mull represented the state and was accompanied in the courtroom by Jeffersonville Police Deceptive Todd Hollis.
Attorney Bill Gray represented Mayes.
Redd was found by Jeffersonville police in his pickup truck deceased from several bullet wounds to his head in the evening of Oct. 22, 2011. He is believed to have been in the truck since about 11:15 p.m. the night before when the shooting occurred.
Mayes told the court he fired the shots after being spurred by sudden heat, as he saw his niece Katrina Baker in the act of giving oral sex to Redd through the window of his truck. According to statements from Baker to police during its investigation, she had a sexual relationship with Redd and he would supply her with drugs.
Police investigation reports show that Mayes and Baker communicated prior to Redd picking up Baker the night of his death, after she had arranged a drug transaction with Redd. Baker told police she discussed the transaction with Mayes, and he asked her what they could "get from Redd," according to a probable cause affidavit.
Redd later picked up Baker from the home she shared with her uncle, and the two drove a short distance to the alley on the side of the home when the sexual encounter began. The report continues that Mayes approached the driver's side window of the truck and asked Redd if he had any pills.
"When Redd replied that he didn't have any, Mayes pointed his gun into the window opening and fired several shots into the face of Anthony Redd," according to Baker's comments made to police provided in the affidavit.
Charges for Mayes of murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery were all reduced to the single count of voluntary manslaughter through the plea.
During the sentencing hearing, Mayes said it was his observation of the sexual act that caused him to fire the shots, but Mull said after the hearing that it was senseless murder stemming from a robbery.
Mull explained after the hearing that Mayes had to claim he acted in sudden heat to received the reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction.
"That was a legal requirement that was in this case, and he [Mayes] satisfied that by his answer, but, ultimately, this is a case where he went up to rob the victim and this occurred in the course of a robbery," Mull said.
Mull said the lack of physical evidence that placed Mayes at the murder scene was the primary factor in the plea.
"There wasn't any physical evidence, whatsoever," Mull said. "So, our proof in this case, if it went to trial, would have been the lady who was present when he was murdered who was giving oral sex to the victim, and it would have been a jail-house snitch. Those would have been our main points of proof in the case, and that doesn't play over a lot of times well in the courtroom."
Mull said it was better for the prosecution and the victim's family to come to an agreement and to avoid trial.
"He can't appeal. He is there. He is stuck. He is sent away," he said. "That was a better option in this case than going to trial on the murder and having a very significant risk he could have been acquitted and walked out of the door free."
Mull said the incident has been traumatic to the family and the prosecutor's office wanted help Reed's loved ones cope with their loss.
"This family has went through a lot of suffering in this case," Mull said. "They have been through a lot of heartache, and it was just imperative to us that we insure that he was convicted and went away to prison for a long time. The family deserved that justice, and we were happy to get that for them today.
Gray released a statement following the hearing that Mayes accepted responsibility for his actions by pleading guilty prior to trial.
"The resolution between Mr. Mayes and the government was fair, and the court's decision to accept the plea agreement was appropriate," Gray provided in the statement.

text: Last month Al-Mahmoudi requested that the UN create a "high-level commission" to investigate alleged human rights abuses [JURIST report] by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) [official website]. Although NATO was mandated by the UN to use force in order to stop Muammar Gaddafi from fomenting violence upon Libyan citizens, the campaign has allegedly gone beyond the scope of protecting civilians and recently led to the death of 85 civilians in one night after NATO forces bombed a residential area supposedly housing a rebel command center. In June, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website] decided to extend a mandate to an investigative panel instructing it to continue its investigation of human rights abuses in Libya, after it published a 92-page report [JURIST reports]. The report claims Libyan authorities have committed crimes against humanity such as acts constituting murder, imprisonment and other severe deprivations of physical liberties, torture, forced disappearances and rape "as part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population with knowledge of the attack."

By Amy Kent
Herald Staff Writer
It's National Fire Prevention Week and to promote fire awareness and safety, the Camanche Fire Department will host its 45th annual Open House on Saturday.
Prevention week began Sunday and to close out the week, per tradition, the open house will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Central Fire Station in Camanche.
The event typically draws a large crowd of local residents and Lt. Jim Sowle hopes the chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday doesn't keep people from coming.
"We'll typically get anywhere from 200 people or more that will come," Sowle said. "But, it depends on the weather and what else is going on that weekend."
Assistant Chief Jeff Moore added that last year the open house had 150 adults and 250 kids who attended the event, despite rainy and chilly conditions.
"It's a balancing game," Sowle said.
The open house is aimed to educate people about fire safety and prevention, but it is also an opportunity for the men and women of the department and people of the community to come together for some down-home fun.
Camanche Fire Chief Dave Schutte said it gives the department an opportunity to show residents what the fire department does on a regular basis and what services they have to offer the community.
"It's a good chance for us to get the community in here and see what we're all about; an opportunity for people to see what we do," Schutte said.
Guests at the open house can expect a variety of educational demonstrations including a stop, drop and roll tutorial and a Fire Safety House presentation.
The demonstrations allow the fire department to teach children that firefighters are only there to help and not to be scary.
"Having the kids come through is pretty neat," Sowle said. "We don't want them to be scared of us, so it gives us a chance to explain to them that it's still us underneath all of that gear."
Another way the department has been making themselves familiar to children in the community is hosting multiple fire house tours throughout the week.
The tours give children an opportunity to see fire trucks inside the station, explore the tools and equipment the firemen use and see some of the training gear they use to prepare themselves for a fire.
In the event of a fire or ambulance call during the open house, Schutte said the department will continue with the event as planned.
"This is one of our biggest functions of the year. Most of the deparment will be here, not to mention the retirees and wives that come and help with it," Schutte said. "If we get called out, they will have it covered."
The event is open to the public and will offer refreshments, snacks and fire truck rides to all who attend Saturday.
"We put a lot of effort into this stuff," Sowle said. "It's really a neat day."

I'll never see Lance Thomas dunk, will I?
Told y'all we'd cut the lead to 15.
Meh, don't even know if I want to go eat now. May just head home. Terrible game.

Meh losses like this happens with young teams. I'm not thrilled about this group of players, but I'm not going to point to this game and panic. Seems like we got punched in the mouth early and couldn't respond like we did against Houston.

Don't you love it when a recipe (like this one) tells you to season "to taste" and then some bright bulb reviews it as "too bland". If you season it *to taste*, then it can't be too bland unless your taste is bland, and then you shouldn't be complaining! People are a riot, aren't they? This is a perfectly serviceable recipe for roasted potatoes. Just make sure you salt and pepper "to taste".
My family and I really liked this recipe. I will have to try it again a few more times to work the kinks out, but had a good start tonight. I must have cut my potatoes too thin, because they only took about 20 minutes to bake. I just flipped them over and placed under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp them up. I also used too much oil. I didn't bother to measure. Next time I will use just enough to coat the potatoes. I also used season salt rather than regular and I like them. I think next time I will try some powdered ranch.
I have allowed myself to add some BBQ spieces which made it sensational. One mistake though, added more oil than needed. not fatal but less oil, better.

WEST LIBERTY — West Liberty votes to remain dry
WEST LIBERTY - West Liberty residents voted to remain dry in a close vote on Tuesday. Unofficial totals had 287 voting no and 213 voting yes in the local option special election.
The vote was for the city of West Liberty, which last March was hit with a devastating tornado that leveled the Morgan County town.
Man injured in police chase
IRONTON - An Ohio man was injured early Tuesday when he crashed his vehicle during a police pursuit.
Jacob E. Ball, 26, of South Point, was taken to Cabell Huntington Hospital following the wreck at the intersection of U.S. 52 and Charlie Creek Road.
According to Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless, deputies responded to a report of a domestic dispute at an apartment complex on County Road 1 in South Point just after midnight. Ball fled the scene prior to their arrival.
Deputies then spotted Ball's vehicle traveling eastbound on U.S. 52. They caught up with the suspect and signaled for him to stop, but he refused, Lawless said.
When the pursuit reached the Charlie Creek Road intersection, Ball attempted to avoid vehicles stopped at the traffic light there by cutting through the median, Lawless said. That caused his vehicle, a 2000 Daewoo, to overturn and come to rest on its top in the westbound lanes of the highway. Ball was ejected.
Ball will be charged with assault, aggravated trespass, auto larceny, disrupting public service and failure to comply with the orders of a police officer. Additional charges could also be filed, Lawless said.

Kathy Sullivan: In NH, some politicians are acting like knuckleheads
In the spirit of bipartisanship, I will start with a Democrat, Rep. Tim Horrigan of Durham. I do not know Rep. Horrigan well, but from what I do know he seems to have his heart in the right place in wanting to be of use to the people of his district. He also seems to take being a state legislator very seriously. However, he has a penchant for getting in trouble when using the Internet.
In August, 2010, he participated in a Facebook discussion about the impact Sarah Palin's death might have. After the controversy went national, he resigned, but then unsuccessfully tried to withdraw the resignation. Despite the incident, the voters of Durham reelected him, and then reelected him again in 2012.
The Palin comment controversy should have ended public pronouncements by Horrigan about the deaths of prominent figures, but whoops - he did it again. Last week, Horrigan forwarded a tweet from someone else that apparently was supposed to be a joke about Dick Cheney shooting Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. He quickly realized it was a mistake, and deleted it. However, he should not have retweeted it in the first place. Joking about someone getting shot is bad enough, but when it is a state representative joking about a member of our highest court getting shot, it is just inexplicable and inexcusable.
Horrigan now has deprived his constituents of effective representation, as the controversy will be a distraction from his duties as a representative. Despite his subsequent and sincere apology, he has embarrassed the General Court, which has suffered way too many embarrassing moments from inappropriate conduct and statements over the last couple of years. Additionally, but of much lesser importance, he has handed the Republicans a club with which to hit the Democratic House majority. Rep. Horrigan has said he will not resign again, but if I were him, I would consider it - and also give up my Twitter account.
Then there was Executive Councilor Chris Sununu, who had his own "what were you thinking?" moment. A former member of the Salem Budget Committee was convicted of obstructing government operations after he tried to stop EMTs from taking his wife to the hospital after she called 911. Charges for felony witness tampering are still pending. He asked Sununu to write him a character letter.
Sununu, who says he writes character letters "all the time," hand-delivered the letter to the court, where it ended up on the desk of the presiding judge in the case. That is a possible violation of RSA 640: 3(b). That law makes it a crime for any person to privately address a public servant who has judicial or administrative discretion with the purpose of influencing that decision. The Salem police have asked the Attorney General to investigate the matter.
Sununu's direct delivery of the letter may have been an unintentional act, although one would hope that an elected official who writes character letters all the time would know that he is not supposed to contact the court directly. But his next action, which has not received much attention, is what was really remarkable.
He personally approached Michael Delaney, the New Hampshire Attorney General, the state's top prosecutor and the man whose office would handle an investigation, and discussed the matter with him. Perhaps Sununu was unaware at that point that the Salem police had requested an investigation, but he at the least knew that the judge in the case had called Sununu's actions highly unusual and untoward.
In any event, in speaking with Delaney, Sununu may have violated the same law for a second time: privately addressing a public servant who has discretion with the purpose of influencing that decision. Delaney's term is up in a few months; if Delaney is reappointed, Sununu will be voting on his confirmation. Sununu's internal ethical alarm clock should have told him that going to Delaney directly like this was inappropriate.
Just a few days later, when speaking at the New Hampshire Republican State Committee meeting, Sununu referred to Democrats as "knuckleheads." All you can do is shake your head that someone who may have violated the same statute twice in three days, and who did not realize that speaking to the state's top prosecutor about the matter might be questionable (especially when he may be voting on that person's reappointment in a matter of weeks), is calling anyone else a "knucklehead."
Kathy Sullivan is a Manchester attorney and member of the Democratic National Committee. She was chairman of the state Democratic Party from 1999-2007.

Police east of Los Angeles in Riverside say two officers were ambushed overnight and the suspect is a former LAPD cop who's still on the loose.
Riverside Lt. Guy Toussaint says the officers were stopped at a red light while on routine patrol around 1:30 a.m. Thursday when someone shot them.
One of the officers was killed and the other was critically wounded.
Toussaint says investigators believe the shooter was former LA police officer Christopher Dorner, who's also the main suspect in the weekend killing of a couple whose bodies were found in Irvine.
Police say Dorner implicated himself in the killings in a "manifesto" that included threats against several people, including members of the LAPD.
Toussaint says police don't where Dorner is but think he left the area.
