Aeros lose in epic fashion, 6-4 to the Marlies
But this game, a 6-4 win for Toronto, was such a clusterfrank, I couldn't NOT write about it.
I'll say this: The only good thing about it after the 2nd period is that only about 3000 tickets to the game were distributed, and there weren't that many seats filled. If the boys had to pick a night to absolutely go to hell at the end, good job that it was on a night where there were more people working that game than attending it.
If you weren't there, count your blessings while I'll sum it up for you:
Toronto started out guns ablazing, and the Aeros looked like they'd been off for 2 weeks. Toronto scored early, the Aeros found their game legs, and Fontaine scored 6 minutes later to tie it.
Aeros played well in the second. Really well. Goals from Rau, Zucker, and Coyle were answered by only one goal from the Marlies in the period.
And I don't want to gloss over how nice the goals were, because sometimes you have to enjoy the bright spots regardless of the outcome. Fontaine's, in the first, was just his line creating a scramble in front of the crease. Scrivens just couldn't keep up with all the quick little passes and Fontaine backhanded it over the dizzy goalie.
Rau's was a point shot from Corbin Baldwin that tipped in off of him. Zucker's was just one of those power to the net, shoot the puck, beat the goalie deals, unassisted deals that makes goalies hate you.
And Coyle's was my favorite. He and Phillips were streaking up ice, Coyle looks back and points with the blade of his stick to where he wants Phillips to pass it. Phillips puts it right there, Coyle gathers the puck and fights off two defenders to get an off-speed shot on net. Scrivens just doesn't seal the ice, doesn't read the speed of the shot right, etc. and it trickles through him.
Painful goal to let in from a tendy's perspective, but just smooth brilliance from Coyle, who now leads goal scoring among AHL rookies.
Then the horrendous 3rd period with 4 unanswered goals. Someone commented to me on Twitter that the one through traffic was a garbage goal (it was deflected, so no it wasn't), but really, Hackett played well the whole game and got no help. He saw a ton of really tough shots that if Hack weren't more skilled at sending rebounds to safe places, would have ended up in the net.
Torchetti was even keeled after the game, as he tends to be after losses. This is a development league and here's a teaching moment: You don't take advantage of the opportunities presented to you, you get the snot beat of you. Details, details, details.
He said he's glad they're coming back tomorrow with a chance to make it right, but also said that he feels like some guys aren't putting 100% into their ice time and if that doesn't improve, some ECHL guys may get a stab at it while the offending parties watch from the stands.
So, we'll see where that leads.
The good thing is, Zucker didn't hurt himself when he threw himself violently into the boards celebrating his goal. If he hadn't just gotten back from injury, maybe it wouldn't have made me cringe like it did. I'm guessing Chuck Fletcher and Jim Mill were thisclose to needing fresh undies watching that. Toting Granlund and Brodin around to to doctors in Minnesota is probably more than enough for them in one month.
Back at it tomorrow, gang. Maybe it will be more fun with a bigger crowd. Lake Erie is actually quite good this season, especially on the road, so the Aeros are going to have to bounce back quickly.

Hmmm... Torchettis' remarks saound remarkably like his comments last season... you know that "not there 100%"!

What else can I say? So-so first period, great second, disastrous third.
I was hoping Torch would have been angrier after the game and maybe he was in the room. It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall there - - except you might have been squashed by a flying object. Certainly the fans were angry. A lot of fans in my section spent the last half of the third either booing or mocking the Aeros' ineptitude (often by name).
Torch owes us, the fans who have had to endure the last two home games, an explanation of just WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED. I mean, they collapsed, but WHY? Was he out-coached? Did his team quit when they went up by two (same thing, sorta)? Was the moon out of alignment with Jupiter? JUST WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, COACH? (From the fans' perspective, "teraching moment" just doesn't cut it.)
I thought Hackett was struggling all night – almost as badly as Koharski struggled with officiating. If it wasn't for a few lucky breaks, Hackett could have easily given up EIGHT instead of five. It seems like apart from Sunday Hackett hasn't been himself lately, I would not be surprised to see Kuemps as the #1 for a while. Maybe that needs to be.
It also seems that apart from MiG, Coyle, and maybe a couple of other guys that this team is pretty weak on stick skills. I'm thinking that given the awful passing and feeble clearing/break-out attempts we have endured recently – not once or twice but time after time after time. Not that we have ever seen that before in teams the Wild has sent us. Even the 2010-2011 team was not strong in this area.
Given the two recent third period collapses, I'm also getting concerned about their conditioning. Speaking of that, 20 minutes of Herbies after the game Thursday in front of the fans might have been a good idea (or maybe just a welcome sight to the disgruntled fans…).
The good thing is that at most maybe only 2000 people saw this mess, and it wasn't on the radio.
P.S. – Saw Jim Mill at the game with his head glued to his cell phone (as it usually is). Makes me wonder if somebody isn't getting brought up…. or traded.

I sent to my family via IM last night after the first "1-1 after 1. Don't know how. We are getting schooled by the Marlies."
Second period looked much better still not the snappy pass, pass, pass, shoot that did them so well in previously, but much improved over the first.
Then the third period. Sheesh. I must have went through a time warp and stepped back to last year's season.
* Holding and playing with the puck too damn long
* Passing the puck directly to the opposing team
* Shots that missed the goal by ten feet
* No effort in trying to clear out the puck
* Horrible power plays
* Going into power play mode when at full strength
* Overplaying the puck leaving half of the Marlies team wide open
* And the worst part, that drives me crazy, is instead of constantly moving the puck forward, they keep moving it backwards. Like they're scared!
Yep, third period was definitely a reemergence of last year's team.
Agree with Forecheck. Was Torch out coached? Or did the team quit on him? In an age of being politically correct, we will never get a straight answer. Just the typical rhetoric.
- November 9, 2012 at 8:07 AM
Like Joe pointed out was Torch out coached?
At 11:21 of the 3rd period Palmeri is serving an Aero penalty. At 11:57 the Marlies tie the game on a PP goal with Larsson on the ice as one on the penalty killers.
Right after this goal Torch puts the Larsson line back out.
(Why I ask after Larsson is probably spent after a 36 second PK shift) Marlies then score the go ahead goal at 12:26 on the Larsson line. That's just poor bench management!
Tired of seeing it ....Let's bring Yeo back for some "bench management " tutoring!
- November 9, 2012 at 8:41 AM
All I can say about last night is yikes. 1st period they looked a bit tired, 2nd period looked pretty great. We were winning, people were playing well and everyone was having a good time. 3rd period...it looked like they got too comfortable. By the time they realized it, the game was pretty much over.
I'm going to be upfront and say there are guys on the team that I don't think belong there. But the vast majority of these guys are really good hockey players. They didn't even really get out-played, watching the Marlies with the puck was almost as entertaining as watching paint dry for most of the night. But some of the guys just didn't do their job last night. Genoway was in on almost every play on his shift, and there were a few guys that I wouldn't even have known were playing last night if I hadn't been watching the game.
It's a tough lesson that they should know by now. Your head has to be in the game, for the whole game. This should have been a pretty easy game for them to win.
- November 9, 2012 at 8:45 AM
Last night was painful, to say the least. I'm not a hockey expert, so someone who is, please explain why Hackett continues to get accolades when, from where I sit at center ice, it looks as if much of the time he isn't moving quickly and doesn't know where the puck is. Is this the fault of his teammates? And was his little temper tantrum, breaking his stick, acceptable hockey behavior? Just wondering.

I would agree Hack hasn't looked as good lately as we're used to, but as I said, I thought he played well last night but got hung out to dry more often than not. Torchetti said he felt Hackett kept them in the game, but did admit that the stick breaking and "showing your frustration" is something that shouldn't happen.
It's a pretty helpless and frustrating feeling when you're busting your balls and pucks keep going in. It's really really tough not to blow your top for a few seconds at some point. I've done it many many times and always feel badly afterward because I know how childish it looks to my teammates. I've rolled my eyes at many a defenseman who skates away cussing up a storm after being party to a goal against and it's like, "Dude, chill. You're harshing my mellow." But when it's YOUR emotion breaking through your stony exterior, it's really really tough to swallow and reactions are almost involuntary sometimes.
Nothing like getting lit up because your team is playing badly to bring on a case of sailor mouth or stick abuse.
Add to this that Hack probably isn't super happy with his stats right now, Kuemper's playing like a rock star, and there's definitely cause for pressure to build up.
And guys, I know this was a mind blowingly awful game (though honestly, imagine it without the Aeros 4 goals... THAT'S what last year's team would have looked like), but this was game #11 of a 76 game season. They're missing some key pieces and they're still learning.... and part of that learning is learning to be professionals who play a full 60. Keep in mind, the AHL darling Barons blew a 3 goal lead to the Aeros not too long ago. It happens to the best of them. I think they'll respond with a better game tonight if they can push last night's debacle aside fast enough.
- November 9, 2012 at 10:50 AM
Points to ponder...
1. Does Jim Mill notice we are being outcoached?
2. During his time with the Aeros...Does Rau not deserve more PP time?
3. Who coaches the specialty teams?
4. Are Rau and McMillan not our top experienced PK guys?
5. Does McIntyre not deserve some PK time over the rookies?
6. Does development of players supersede experience of veterans?
7. Does development of players supersede winning?
8. Is Kuemper getting his fair shot in net?
9. Does Broda get a chance on the PP ever over Foucalt or others?
10. Is Joe O'Donnell not realize he is the only announcer that misses calling the game over his unnecessary "stat" information rant?
Your opinion/answers regarding these questions would be much appreciated.
- November 9, 2012 at 11:17 AM
@anon... Does development of players supercede winning? Well, not exactly, but one must keep in mind that having only wins does not a player make! It's like the 'every one is a winner' attitude that is being used in schools etc. No, not everyone is a winner. There have to loosers in order to have winners!
That's called (oldfashioned I know)character building! One has to learn to loose and still be determined to learn from it and go on to win next time!
- November 9, 2012 at 11:52 AM
- Ms. Conduct said...
I can't answer all of these, and honestly don't have an opinion about the coaching. And really, you can't ask a GM 11 games into the season if he sees his team being outcoached and get an answer you believe is honest.
I can say that on 6 and 7, yes. Development is the #1 priority, but part of development is creating a winning culture, so there's a natural balance check. And I think that answers 4 and 5, too. They play people where they think they'll best meet the goal of balancing development with winning.
8. The organization wants Hackett playing a lot. But that want could certainly change if he's not meeting expectations. Kuemper's in the catbird seat here. This is a big year for both goalies and it's just going to have to shake itself out.
9. I don't always note who is on special teams, but I'll watch for that.
10. No clue. I've never noticed that on away game broadcasts.
- November 9, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Ms C...thanks for your comments regarding goalie performance. I feel better knowing someone else sees what I see, but appreciate your putting it in perspective. It's good to hear the coach thinks the stick breaking is out of line. It doesn't look good for Hackett when he throws a tantrum like a little boy. And I'm sure the opposing team loves to know they can irritate him into such behavior. Tonight will be better!!
- November 9, 2012 at 12:45 PM
Aeros fans should consider the Toronto game "an outlier" and look forward to some very exciting hockey ahead.
The absence of Scandella and Brodin were obvious in the THIRD, and together with the absence of Granlund on the Power Play "flops" over the past TWO games (including the 5/3 last night).
To be sure, there are FEW BETTER coaches (than Torchetti) that the WILD could have found to develop the talent on this AEROS roster. Yet, Torchetti must rely upon Messrs. Van Ryn and Laplante for one-one interface with the players and those "teaching moments", ..... and none of us can have any clue regarding how effective his subordinates have been.
Finally, it has been very painful to watch Matt Hackett (the Wunderkind of the 2010-11 Special Team) regress over the past two seasons. We all hope that he can turn it around and measure up to the WILD's expectations. No one can say that he has not been given the opportunity.
BTW, has anyone noticed that Barry Brust is now 2-0, with a shutout and sparkling stats (.979 SAV and 0.50 GA). Best of luck to our old friend.
Go Aeros!

This may very well be the longest thread of comments we've ever had for a game story ... at least during the regular season.
I am sorry I had to miss the game last night, but a big thank you to Heather for filling in!
Also, I just can't get over how bad this group has been at home over the last two plus years.
That is my only slight complaint toward the staff. I really do think they do a better job of getting them better for road games.
- November 9, 2012 at 2:28 PM
As they say, and I concur, the most important skill for a goalie to have is a short memory.

Searching for an artful new way to cook and serve your favorite dishes? Himalayan Pink Salt Slabs, Plates, and Bricks are nature's cook top and serving platter in one, offering many creative culinary uses while delivering the benefits of natural, pure salt with no chemicals or additives. Heat your Himalayan salt slab, plate, or brick to high temperatures and sear thinly sliced meats, fish, vegetables, seafood and other quick-cooking foods (see recipes below!). Or, chill it for use in serving sushi, appetizers, cold meats and cheeses, fresh fruit and vegetables, and even cold desserts.
Himalayan Pink salt slabs, plates, and bricks are harvested from deep within the ancient Himalayan mountain range of Pakistan. There, they have remained protected from pollution and impurities for centuries, making this what many consider the purest, cleanest salt in the world. The salt is mined as large, meteor-like boulders and later sliced into, slabs, blocks, bricks and plates as well as sculpted into bowls. Because Himalayan Pink salt slabs are a natural product, the threshold for high temperatures and pressure may vary, as will the physical characteristics and inclusions which give your salt slab a one-of-a-kind appearance. You'll find that Himalayan salt slabs, plates, and bricks make for an intriguing presentation of both hot and cold foods for your home, restaurant, spa or catering facility. All of our Himalayan salt products are "Gourmet Food Grade" and the very highest quality Himalayan salt available.
*Himalayan salt bricks, slabs, plates and blocks are also available wholesale by the case or to distributors by the pallet. For wholesale/distributor pricing please feel free to contact us using the information on our contact page or call (800) 353-7258.
*See bottom of page for more product information and recipes.

How will the Himalayan salt slab, plate, or brick affect different types of foods?
Foods placed on a Himalayan crystal salt slab take on a light, clean, naturally salty flavor while absorbing minerals necessary for good health and longevity. When placed on the Himalayan Pink salt brick for an extended period of time, thinly sliced fish such as salmon, tuna and whitefish will begin to cure from the salt, which acts as a preservative. Generally, a natural salt slab will add a hint of salty taste to moist or wet foods, but will have no effect on dry foods. For example, if you use your salt slab to serve cheese and crackers, it will lend a bit of saltiness to the cheese but the taste of the crackers will remain the same.
How to Cure Foods Using a Himalayan Salt Slab, Salt Plate, or Salt Brick:
Himalayan salt slabs and bricks can be used to cure thinly sliced meats, fish and seafood. Simply chill your natural salt slab for several hours, then place thin strips of ahi tuna or beef carpaccio directly onto the salt slab and observe as the curing process slowly takes place. The irregular shades of pink and varying textures of this 100% pure wonder of nature make for intriguing conversation and an attractive, natural serving platter for all your favorite foods.
How to Sear Meat, Fish and Vegetables With the Himalayan Pink Salt Slab:
Imagine cooking your food on a 250 million year old slab of pure, crystallized mineral salt. What better way to bring the clean taste and nutritional benefits of pure mineral salt to your table? Himalayan Pink salt slabs can be heated to as high as 450 degrees Fahrenheit and used to lightly sear all sorts of delicious foods. When the cooking is through, your mineral salt slab will slowly return to room temperature for future use as a cold serving plate.
Your Himalayan salt slab can be slow-heated, either in the oven or over a gas flame or electric burner, for searing or lightly grilling meat, fish or vegetables. Note that when subjected to high temperatures, the salt slab will turn white in some spots. This is normal. As it cools, your Himalayan salt slab will regain more of its original coloring. Because of the potential for this slight alteration in appearance from heat, you may wish to preserve one slab for display and/or serving, and one slab for cooking if this is a concern. When cooking with your salt slab, ensure that it is completely dry prior to applying any heat, as lingering moisture inside the slab may expand and cause damage to the slab. Typically the dry time should be at least 24 hours since the slab's last contact with any moisture.
To heat in the oven: Place your dry salt slab into a cold oven and turn the heat to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. When the oven has reached 250 degrees, remove the salt slab and let cool for about 30 minutes. Then return it to the oven and set the temperature for 400 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat will distribute slowly and evenly throughout.
To heat using a gas burner: Place your dry Himalayan salt slab over a low gas flame for 15 minutes. If you desire a higher temperature, heat for an additional 15 minutes on a medium-high gas flame.
To heat on an electric stove: Use a metal spacer or wok ring to prevent the salt slab from making direct contact with the heating element. Follow instructions for gas heating.
Once you've thoroughly heated your Himalayan salt slab, you're ready to sear your meat, fish and/or vegetables. Place the thoroughly heated salt plate on a heatproof surface. Lightly toss your meat, fish or vegetables in oil, spices and herbs. You may also wish to lightly drizzle the salt cooking surface with olive oil, adjusting to your desired level of saltiness (less oil will cause more salting of your food and vice versa). Place directly onto the heated salt slab, then cook to desired doneness, stirring and moving around the salt plate as you would any other grilling surface. Your salt block will retain the heated temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Avoid making direct contact with the salt block for some time after cooking the meal, as it will take several hours to cool completely.
Cleaning your Himalayan Salt Bricks, Salt Plates and Salt Blocks:
To clean your Himalayan salt block, wipe with a clean, damp cloth or paper towel and remove any remaining food bits. Avoid running your natural salt block under water or submerging in water, as any remaining moisture in the salt slab can cause breakage upon heating. Be sure to let your salt slab dry for at least 24 hours after exposure to any moisture. There is no need to use soap or detergent on your Himalayan salt slab, as it is naturally anti-fungal and anti-microbial. You may wish to freshen your salt block with a bit of lemon juice from time to time.
Note that the appearance of your Himalayan salt slab will change over time. The more varieties of foods you cook and serve on your salt plate, the more likely the surface will acquire various, interesting new colors and shades. This merely adds to the irregular beauty of the Himalayan salt slab. Your salt block may also develop small fissures and cracks over time; this is typical with regular use. And when it finally is time to replace your Himalayan salt block, you can break up what remains and shave it down to crystals to sprinkle over your food or into your bath.
What types of foods can you cook and serve on a Himalayan Pink Salt Slab?
For serving chilled:
Cold appetizers
Fruits and vegetables
Cold dips
Cured meats
Hard-boiled eggs
Ice cream
Chilled desserts
For curing:
Thinly sliced tuna, salmon or other fish

I finally was so incapacitated that I did the 5-4-3-2-1 dosage treatment and the swelling went down almost immediately in my knees and hips.
I really don't want to go on the biologics.
thank you
Sandy, just really happy to see that I am not the only one who feels this way
It is often necessary to very slowly decrease prednisone. I often use 1mg tabs to help with tapering.
I wanted to ask you, I am doing some research for my mother
so I have been reading up on Rheumatoid Arthiritis and think
that she might have this as well. You see her fingers have
slightly deformed and are hurting quiet often, and so do her hands, lower arms below the elbow. And recently she advised that her legs are hurting and numbing. Unfortunately she does not have insurance at this time so is unable to see a Dr. She does take Aleve or Tylenol and uses this EMU cream. It helped for a while but now it is to the point that she cannot sleep at night. Is there something she can do or take that could help her until she has the money to see a Dr., and am I on the right track of thinking it is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Please help me, i am desperate for answers.
Thank You
Methlprednisone 4 mg. This is my third day taking it and it
has not helped. I am on pain med's and they are not getting rid
of the pain. I plan to call the Rhumo. Monday for the next step.
I don't know if this is from the Osto arthritis or the RA.
My hands are beginning to show visible malformations and nearly every joint in my body is in pain...what other options do I have?

Product Summary:
Durango Kids Round Toe Western BootsThe Rebel by Durango Boy's Dusk & Green Saddle Western (Style #BT206) boots looks so authentic that your little one will be a spitting image of John Wayne. Not only will your little boy be fond of the "Just like Dad's" construction, but he will like the look of the fancy stitching on the shaft. It is a great looking western boot that he can wear outside playing with his friends, and can wear when he goes to the mall with mom. A common downfall of some boots is that they are tremendously difficult to get on. You know that your son isn't going to want a boot that will take practically ten minutes to get onto his foot. So, a great feature of the #BT206 boots is that they have four finger holes that make it easier to get the boots both on and off.Product Features:

Kammron Taylor's three-pointer with four seconds remaining lifted number four Wisconsin to a 52-50 victory over Michigan State today.
Michigan State's Drew Neitzel hit a long jump shot to give the Spartans a one-point lead, 50-49, with about a minute and a half left. Taylor then missed a jump shot with 57 seconds left, but Michigan State's Travis Walton missed a jumper on the other end to give the ball back to the Badgers, who called timeout with eleven-point-seven seconds left.
Taylor got the ball after an inbounds pass to Marcus Landry, and hit the three-pointer to give the Badgers a two-point lead. Neitzel ran the length of the floor and tried to answer with a desperation three-pointer at the final horn, but it fell short.
The Badgers were back in action for the first time since losing at Ohio State last Sunday. Wisconsin was ranked number one for the first time in school history a week ago.
Alando Tucker led Wisconsin with 26 points in his final home game.

Pickup Rumor Mill
May 11, 2007 3:48 PM
Pickup rumors are swirling as networks go in pre-upfront lockdown mode, lips pursed, refusing to officially confirm anything until their presentations next week.
That said, some rumors are stronger than others…
-- NBC has renewed "Scrubs" for 18 episodes for the fall, sources said. "Scrubs" was a huge question mark due to the show's cost and modest ratings. Net has also picked up hot pilot "Lipstick Jungle" for 13.
-- Some rumors about "Notes From the Underbelly" getting picked up, but things are still iffy there. One possibility is pairing "Notes" with female-centric ABC pilot "Sam I Am." Also rumors continue about renewing "Knights of Prosperity" with Ray Romano in the Mick Jagger role as a possible pairing with "Cavemen" (a pilot that has divided those who've seen it; I've heard it described as "extremely funny" and "absolutely horrible" with equal emphasis and enthusiasm).
-- Also at ABC, "Cashmere Mafia" is looking good, but nothing official yet.
-- The CW pilot "Gossip Girl" has been firmly picked up. "Pussycat Dolls: The Search For the Next Doll" is looking very close to a renewal (but, really, how many more Dolls does the group need?).

Worried that a year-old ban on registered sex offenders in local parks wouldn't hold up in court, Lake Forest's City Council voted Tuesday to repeal the law.
In a 3-2 decision, the council officially undid the measure, which had been on the books since last December and prohibited registered sex offenders from entering city parks.
The law was stricter than the one it was modeled after, a county measure penned by District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and County Supervisor Shawn Nelson.

- Follow Lake Forest Patch on Facebook and Twitter.
The move put the council in the unusual position of saying it was either wrong to enact the ban in the first place or unwilling to defend it. Mayor Kathryn McCullough and Councilmen Scott Voigts and Peter Herzog voted to repeal the law.
The council's two newly elected members, Dwight Robinson and Adam Nick, voted to keep it.
At the council meeting the ban, citing the financial hit the city would take defending itself against lawsuits.
About half the cities in Orange County have enacted similar laws at the request of Rackauckas. However, the county's law suffered a setback when an appeals court overturned the conviction of Hugo Godinez for entering Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley.
In that case, an Orange County appellate panel said the county ban was superseded by a less restrictive state law.
Cty Attorney Scott C. Smith said keeping Lake Forest's law would cost at least $200,000 in legal fees to defend, and that's if the city won in court. Losing could bring penalties, including paying the legal costs of the sex offenders who challenged the ban.

Meadville Tribune
As friends and family gathered at Frenchtown's St. Hippolyte Church for last November's wedding of Samantha and Matthew Foulk, many thought they were witnessing some sort of practical joke. There was the groom, flat-out on his back on the altar, attending his wedding on a stretcher.
Holding on bravely to an unspoken wedding-day commandment, "the wedding must go on," his young bride carried through on two years of nuptial plans despite her groom having to attend their perfect day unable, except briefly now and then, to stand up.
A year now past, the former Samantha Jo Taylor of Townville recalls putting aside the initial shock and dismay to realize her and Matthew Foulk's dream of a wedding after her fiance had herniated a spinal disc one month prior.
Granted, the honeymoon cruise had to be put on hold. But their big day was accomplished.
"It was an accumulation of issues," Matthew explained about his ill-timed back injury. "Doctors said it was from heavy lifting, spinal compensation for wearing my wallet on one side, and being hunched over desks and computers in college."
Chronic back pains around October 2011, just weeks prior to the Nov. 12 date, brought Matthew and his wife to Meadville Medical Center's emergency room and eventually the care of Dr. Brian Dalton of UPMC Hamot, Tri State Neurological Surgery president.
During the course of his month-long, pre-wedding treatment, Matthew was given two steroid injections at different intervals, meant to strengthen the muscles next to his herniated disc which would, in turn, push it back into place.
The first one improved his condition somewhat.
"The second injection actually enflamed my muscles and helped the disc strangle the sciatic nerve going into my right leg," he said. "Sitting was out. I could stand or walk with a cane for short bursts thanks to chiropractic and physical therapy.
For a whole week before the wedding, Matthew visited a chiropractor once a day and attended physical therapy twice, Samantha said.
Her husband's longest stint of standing during those painful weeks was during their vows. He lasted three minutes before having to rest.
"We didn't really have to adjust wedding plans that much overall," said Samantha. "We just added times for him to lie down and rest during the service."
Meadville Area Ambulance Service provided Matthew with a stretcher free of charge for the reception at the Meadville Elks Club.
"A lot of people were coming from out of town for the wedding; we weren't canceling," said Matthew. "We just had some minor ceremony adjustments."
The service was certainly memorable and very enjoyable for the newlyweds, despite initial reactions to Matthew's condition. Plenty of family support was present throughout the ceremony as well as for his post-wedding surgery.
"We let my immediate family know," said Matthew, outlining his and his then-fiancee's move back with parents. He spent most of his time at home in bed — the newlyweds also spent their after-wedding weeks waking up at 8 a.m. every day for physical therapy.
"The doctors had to detach my muscles to get to my spine," he said, noting invasive procedures were the final option, albeit necessary because of the steroid reactions.
"My wife became my nurse after the surgery," he added. "She dressed me, helped me brush my teeth, etc."
Surgeons removed Matthew's herniated disc by opening his spinal casing to relieve pressure on his sciatic nerve — his back muscles then expected to fill the gap and replace the disc in supportive and motorskill duties.
"It was definitely a full-time job," said Samantha of her new role. "It was still enjoyable just being with him and finally being married."
Fond memories
The couple remembered their wedding fondly from their new home in Latrobe, where they moved in January 2012.
"It was fine; we had fun," he added. "People said they loved it and it was pretty mild as far as concerns went. We didn't let it get us down."
"Mostly my wife, my mother and my mother-in-law planned the wedding; I was pretty hands-off," Matthew laughed. "I just agreed to be there, which turned out to be a bigger deal than we thought."
While the couple held out on the wedding, the Royal Caribbean Cruise was canceled and rescheduled for the couple's upcoming first anniversary.
"Fortunately we had travel insurance," said Matthew, as the couple prepares to finally enjoy their honeymoon trip. "It's a one-week cruise with stops at some of the Caribbean islands. It will be nice to finally take it."
"Far worse things happen to people every day," Samantha agreed. "It's certainly memorable; a wedding no one will forget."

Background: Panic disorder and agoraphobia are closely linked. There are indications that uncontrolled panic attacks often lead to the rapid development of phobic avoidance, but our ability to predict which individuals with panic will develop avoidance has been limited. The purpose of this study was to identify independent predictors of the development of phobic avoidance and the time course of that development.
Method: We conducted a secondary analysis of survey data from the community-based Panic Attack Care-Seeking Threshold Study. The presence of panic attacks was confirmed in 97 randomly selected adults from randomly selected households screened using the Structured Clinical Interview of DSM-III-R (SCID). The presence of limited and extensive phobic avoidance was measured using the SCID, while rapidity of development (lag time) was measured as the difference between onset of panic and onset of avoidance. Predictors considered included panic characteristics, psychiatric comorbidity, cognitive appraisal, family characteristics, illness attitudes, symptom perceptions, and coping style.
Results: Thirty-six subjects (37%) had at least mild phobic avoidance, with 81% (N = 29) of those developing the avoidance less than 1 year after the onset of panic attacks. The development of phobic avoidance was associated with the presence of panic disorder (beta = 1.36), the number of comorbid psychiatric disorders (beta = 0.69), and the number of family members and/or friends available to discuss health concerns (beta = 0.87). Further progression to agoraphobia was predicted by the presence of depersonalization during panic attacks (beta = 0.50). Rapid onset of avoidance (panic avoidance lag time < 1 year) was predicted by the perception that depersonalization is a life-threatening symptom (beta = 1.56).
Conclusion: The development of phobic avoidance is closely linked to panic attacks and often develops soon after panic onset. Full-blown panic disorder and psychiatric comorbidity are important in this development. Depersonalization is also key to the development of avoidance and the rapidity of the development.

Should Federal Employees Be Forced to Switch Health Plans?
- By Charles S. Clark
- August 2, 2013
- Leave a comment
As the House prepared for the 40th time to vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Republicans and Democrats talked past each other Thursday at a contentious Ways and Means Committee oversight hearing on implementation of the law. Amid the fireworks over whether Obamacare should be "destroyed," the two federal officials present as witnesses had to beg off on opining about political and policy conundrums that are literally above their pay grades.
But then Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas, as part of a series of questions based on the premise that the health care law is forcing Americans to sign up for insurance exchanges against their will, asked acting Internal Revenue Service chief Danny Werfel why his employees who belong to the National Treasury Employees Union have declined to switch from their current federal insurance to the coming new marketplaces.
"I'm not speaking for NTEU, but will tell you how I feel," Werfel replied. As federal employees, "we have affordable health coverage now. The Affordable Care Act was designed as an option for those who do not. So if you're satisfied with your coverage, you're in a position to stick with that coverage rather than make the change. But if others are unhappy, the exchanges offer an alternative. The NTEU prefers to stay."
The person who does speak for the NTEU is its president, Colleen Kelley. Late last month, she offered a statement opposing H.R. 1780, introduced in April by Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. The bill would provide that the only health plans that the federal government may make available to the president, vice president, members of Congress and federal employees are those created under the Affordable Care Act or offered through a health insurance exchange.
This bill "would single out federal employees by denying them the right to continue to be covered by their existing employer-provided health care plan," Kelley said. "The main point of the Affordable Care Act is to encourage more employers to provide coverage to their employees. It makes no sense for Congress to mandate the end of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, a longstanding, successful employer plan. That would be a result diametrically opposed to the intent of ACA—which is to provide a marketplace for the sale and purchase of health insurance for those who do not have such coverage, not to take coverage away from employees who already receive it through their employers."

With his teammate James Harrison receiving media criticism all week for the hard hits he made in the Steelers' Week Six win over the Browns, Pittsburgh WR Hines Ward said some blame for the recent rise in helmet-to-helmet hits should be placed on quarterbacks.
Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette talked to Ward about the recent attention paid toward physical play, and the receiver told him that it's not only defensive players who are at fault for the hard hits.
"It's funny, I was talking to (Browns WR Mohamed) Massaquoi about quarterbacks pregame," Ward said. "I told him it's rough playing with three different quarterbacks. It's especially tough playing with a rookie. If he considers you his go-to guy, he's going to watch you run your route the whole way. That's what happened on that play when (Massaquoi) was hit. (Browns rookie QB Colt McCoy) followed him with his eyes the whole way. James (Harrison) saw that and knew that pass was coming."
On the other big play of the weekend, Falcons CB Dunta Robinson's collision with Eagles WR DeSean Jackson, Ward said: "His quarterback (Kevin Kolb) didn't see the cornerback there and led him right into him. What was (Robinson) supposed to do? He led with his shoulder. That's a good football play. If he tackles him low, he blows out his knees and ends his career. Is that what the league's trying to tell us it wants?"
The way we see it
While it is uncommon that a wide receiver would call out quarterbacks, Ward is defending his teammate and making a valid point. While it is easy to blame Harrison and Robinson for their tough tackles, the receiver is saying they are just doing what they've been instructed to do. As long as quarterbacks try to fit passes into tight spaces between defenders, receivers are going to be on the wrong end of crushing hits.

Lance Armstrong may not be done confessing.
His interview with Oprah Winfrey hasn't aired yet, but already some people want to hear more — under oath — before Armstrong is allowed to compete in elite triathlons, a sport he returned to after retiring from cycling in 2011. In addition to stripping him of all seven of his Tour de France titles last year, anti-doping officials banned Armstrong for life from sanctioned events.
"He's got to follow a certain course," David Howman, director general of World Anti-Doping Agency, told the AP. "That is not talking to a talk show host."
Armstrong already has had conversations with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency officials, touching off speculation that the team leader who demanded loyalty from others soon may face some very tough choices himself: whether to cooperate and name those who aided, knew about or helped cover up a sophisticated doping ring that Armstrong ran on his tour-winning U.S. Postal Service squads. Former teammate Frankie Andreu, one of several riders Armstrong cast aside on his ride to the top of the sport, said no one could provide a better blueprint for cleaning up the sport.
"Lance knows everything that happened," Andreu told The Associated Press. "He's the one who knows who did what because he was the ringleader. It's up to him how much he wants to expose."
World Anti-Doping Agency officials said nothing short of "a full confession under oath" would even cause them to reconsider the ban. Although Armstrong admitted to Winfrey on Monday that he used performance-enhancing drugs, Howman said that is "hardly the same as giving evidence to a relevant authority." The International Cycling Union also urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims that the sport's governing body hid suspicious samples, accepted financial donations, and helped Armstrong avoid detection in doping tests.

Great recipe. What I did was reduced the baking powder to a teaspoon, added more banana, and upped the chai. I took the advice of some of the other posters and when I added the chai, I warmed my pre-packaged chai and added three chai teabags to strengthen the chai taste. Interesting recipe, but surprizingly wonderful. I recieved many complements on this recipe.
I made this for some of my friends at work, and it was a big hit. I raised it to a 1/2 cup of chai (the powdered kind) which made it very moist and lovely. Also, the cream cheese made little cream cheese blobby pockets randomly, which were so delicious! Served with strawberries and coffee, this was really fantastic, so easy and rewarding.
Great recipe. After I made it Talia's way I substituted Fat Free Cream Cheese and a Fat Free Egg Substitute. I also halfed the flour with whole wheat. Few people believe me when I tell them the recipe is nearly fat free (about 1.5 grams in the loaf from the bananas).

Tonawanda News — If you grew up in Western New York and can remember the Sattler's jingle, you likely were influenced by Buffalo radio, and "influenced" is the operational term here.
Under the imprimatur of the Buffalo History Museum (née the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, that imposing building with the marble pillars next to Delaware Park) the "Giants of Buffalo Radio," five men with a heavy presence in those late Fifties and Sixties and into the Seventies days when a radio was constant company, recently presented a laugh-soaked roll down memory lane. And other than a lot of reminisces and anecdotes, we learned it was all about the money.
Of course it was, radio being a business like, and unlike, any other. Charity stunts were at the behest of advertisers, on-air contests were fixed, disc jockeys wielded considerably less power than their personae suggested and generally the "talent" seemed to be having a riot of a time until the grownups at the station put a stop to all the nonsense.
Some of this was brought out by the alleged "Giants," each an elderly man in a comfy couch or armchair. They excel at talking and they have stories, so they talked.
We can look back on any job we've ever had and tell tales involving screw-ups, incompetence and whatever it took to get us fired. No one wants to hear about the idea you stuffed into a suggestion box that earned you $20 bucks and saved the company thousands.
And while those of us with a connection to media enjoyed the stories of radio hijinks, the underlying current was clear: the fun stops when it is reinforced this is a business. A zoo does not give free reign to the animals.
Since the "Giants" forced me to recall those days, days when a radio was playing wherever I was, I am stunned by my, our, collected naiveté. Perhaps I look at the era with more maturity than I had back then, but it seems money was less important, and the thrill of experience meant more.

Maryland Lottery spokeswoman Carole Everett told Pikesville Patch Wednesday afternoon that no one has yet come forward with the .
Meanwhile, Baltimore resident Marlinde Wilson, who reportedly is an immigrant of Haiti and mother of seven children, still maintains she has that ticket.
On Wednesday morning, Wilson and her attorney held a press conference.
Wilson did not speak, according to a FOX News report, but her attorney Edward Smith asked the media "to not pester his client."
He said her claim is "a legitimate claim," but he has not seen the ticket, the report states.
Wilson allegedly bought Mega Millions lottery tickets for herself and a pool of coworkers at the Milford Mill McDonald's where she works.
She has also said she bought a ticket separately—the winnning ticket.
One of three winning Mega Millions tickets was sold at the 7-Eleven at 8014 Liberty Road, in Milford Mill, Baltimore County, the Maryland Lottery has reported. Two others were sold in Illinois and Kansas.
, but she has not shown it yet.
On Tuesday, she said she hid it in a safe place at the McDonald's in Milford Mill, according to a report by the New York Post.
She won't go back to get it until the media attention has died down, it states.
Wilson is a resident of the Westport community in Baltimore, according to the report.
Emphasizing that the Maryland Lottery has "nothing new" to report, Everett said Wednesday that the lottery will hold a press conference Thursday afternoon to discuss the process for a winner to claim a ticket, and how the lottery would announce it.

ABC has officially given the axe to supernatural soap 666 Park Avenue. This likely comes as a surprise to no one. The series started flat and stayed that way. The network will air the remaining six episodes of the 13-episode order in its usual Sunday night 10pm time slot. The network ordered a couple additional scripts about a month ago but declined to go into production on them.
Because of this cancelation, I will be suspending my 666 Park Avenue recaps. But I am still planning an autopsy on the abbreviated season - and unless the last few episodes change dramatically, I will be eviscerating the series. So you have that to look forward to.

Tips from the AHA on avoiding danger from the cold
To keep warm, wear layers of clothing. This traps air between layers, forming a protective insulation. Also, wear a hat or head scarf. Much of your body's heat can be lost through your head. And ears are especially prone to frostbite. Keep your hands and feet warm, too, as they tend to lose heat rapidly.
Don't drink alcoholic beverages before going outdoors or when outside. Alcohol gives an initial feeling of warmth, because blood vessels in the skin expand. Heat is then drawn away from the body's vital organs.

Following up on my post last week, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford appeared on Fox's Glenn Beck show Tuesday to discuss the prospects of a California bailout, and the subject of golf course privatization came up, offering some comedic relief:
BECK: How would you — how do you respond — how do you feel about the federal government coming in and basically saying, "You know what, forget about your governor, forget about your governor"? I mean, here, you tried to — you had to actually go and veto things like newly created "Capital Police Force" aimed at protecting entrances to the legislators' garage, a provision that prevents exploring privatization of state-owned golf course parks that lose $500,000 — why do you have state-owned golf courses in the first place?
BECK: I mean, what do you — what do you...
SANFORD: Amen to that. That's why we're trying to say — we're trying to say we ought to privatize them. I mean, in other words, if there's anything that South Carolina private sector has shown a great capacity for, it's running golf courses.
You go to Myrtle Beach, you go to Hilton Head, you go to the — all kinds of corners of South Carolina, this is something the private sector can do well. It's not something the government needs to do. But there's actually a proviso in the budget that prevents us from even exploring the option of privatizing golf courses.
And so, yes, there are a lot of zany things in the budget. But the really, really zany thing is the federal government stepping in with a massive amount of new money that prevents us from making some hard choices that are necessary to us becoming competitive over the long run.
The most telling piece of that exchange was the laughter. The notion that there is a public interest in low green fees is indeed humorous, as I explained here and here.

By C.V. Moore
Register-Herald Reporter
Town officials are getting closer and closer to an understanding of Oak Hill's aging sewer system and how it might one day be improved, thanks to a study of the system by an outside consultant.
The Inflow & Infiltration study, part of a much larger $14 million sewer improvement project aimed at cleaning up the New River, is now three-quarters complete.
Oak Hill's sewer system works well under normal circumstances, but during heavy rains, storm water gets into the system through breaks in lines, manholes, and illegal connections to gutter downspouts. The wastewater overloads the city's sewage collection and treatment system and overflows into Arbuckle and Loop creeks, which feed the New River.
Known as "inflow and infiltration," or "I&I," this phenomenon is most often caused by aging infrastructure that needs maintenance and repair.
The purpose of the study is to identify deficiencies in the system in order to develop a rehabilitation project for the areas of critical concern. It will also provide data so that city officials can undertake long-term planning. When the project is complete, the sewer system will be mapped in the city's new GIS system.
"This is going to go a long way in mapping our sewer system. We don't have a good grasp of what all is out there in the ground," said Oak Hill City Manager Bill Hannabass when the project was launched earlier this year. "It's going to give me a tool to plan better to not only operate the system but maintain the system."
Pentree Engineering, which is undertaking the study, reports that the existing system is "in typical condition for a municipality such as Oak Hill. Much of the old system has the normal deficiencies found in gravity collection networks."
"Leaking structures, root penetration, corrosion, erosion, concrete deterioration are prevalent throughout the network. There was also evidence found of backups due to sagging lines and lack of proper design effort. There are portions of pipeline laid on top of the ground."
Pentree employees have been searching for the city's 882 manholes, but that can be difficult given the system's age. Some have been buried or paved over. The rights of ways are often blocked by trees, brush, and thick undergrowth.
So far, surveyors have located 555 of the manholes.
Five flow meters are also set up and monitoring the sewage collection system. Flow metering will continue through 2013.
The New River Clean Water Alliance, a grassroots group of locals working on water quality in the region, just wrapped up a water monitoring project in Arbuckle Creek — with monitoring points above and below wastewater plants — to better understand where fecal coliform pollution is coming from in the creek. Arbuckle Creek is a major source of pollution in the New River, according to a report released by the group last year.

Niagara's Juan'ya Green has been named MAAC Player of the Week. Here's the league release:
EDISON, N.J. – Sophomore Juan'ya Green was named Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Player of the Week on Monday for the first time in his career.
Green helped lead the Niagara Purple Eagles to a 2-0 weekend as they defeated Marist and Fairfield to extend their conference winning streak to three games. Green averaged 26.0 points per game while shooting a blistering 65.5 percent (19-for-29) from the field and 92.3 percent (12-for-13) at the free throw-line line; he also converted on both 3-pointers he attempted. The Philadelphia native led the team with 4.0 assists per game and 3.0 steals per game. Green recorded consecutive 20-plus point games, beginning on Thursday versus Marist. Green finished with 21 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals as the Purple Eagles had season-highs in points (94) and in field goal percentage (52.2).
Green was the catalyst to NU's first win against Fairfield since Jan. 4, 2010. Green led all scorers with a season-high 31 points, which is the most by a Purple Eagle this season, for his fourth career 30-point game. Green, who played in the entire game, scored 21 of his 31 points in the second half. Green put NU back in front twice in the second half and was clutch at the free-throw line as NU held off Fairfield for the 71-67 win. Green's game-high 12 free throws tied a career-best and are the most this season for NU. Green added a game-high four steals and led NU with three assists.
