Poodle Rescue of Vermont was contacted by volunteers from the Taylor County Animal Shelter. Paulette was taken home by one of the volunteers to save her from certain euthanasia. Once we were contacted we had Paulette taken to the Vet immediately and the Vet agreed, if he had seen her at the shelter, he would have put her down. However, upon closer inspection, this little girl proved him wrong! She has a good strong heart, clear lungs and excellent blood work. PRVT paid to have Paulette spayed, large cyst removed from her neck and mammary tumors removed (all benign) and have a complete dental. Paulette's foster Mom reports that Paulette enjoys her walks, is getting stronger everyday and especially loves her foster Daddy. See? Poodles are a hardy breed and live a very long time. The seniors do not deserve to be dumped in a kill shelter. Will you help us bring Paulette home? Poodle Rescue of Vermont will find a senior human to cuddle her the rest of her days.

I can't pinpoint when I first started feeling sick.
In the past few months, I went from feeling not quite myself to struggling with daily pain and problems.
I battled digestion problems, which worsened into severe abdominal cramps, gas, bloating and nausea. Then came headaches, chronic sinus infections, hives, extreme fatigue, skin changes and painful body aches.
Brain fog felt more like mud that had been poured onto my skull. My mind was working, only slower and with fatigue, a slippery state for someone whose life revolves around words.
I decided to change my diet. I ate healthier by adding more whole grains. I tried to appease stomach upsets with cinnamon toast, crackers and more fiber-rich foods.
I plugged through each day and hoped the new medicine or lifestyle change would finally resolve the umpteenth sinus problem or stomachache.
The problems became more than an inconvenience; they were affecting my career and family.
My mama lion pride pulled me through our son's special events and middle school graduation. My husband stepped up to ease my worries when possible.
If you've ever dealt with a health problem, you've probably run into the well-meaning friend who knows a friend of a friend's neighbor who had the exact same symptoms. Right before the person died of some horrible disease.
Fortunately, I missed the terrible stories. I finally found the answer after hearing from a couple of friends with symptoms eerily close to mine.
After consulting with my doctor, I was diagnosed with celiac disease.
1 in 133 Have Celiac Disease
It turns out that increasing your intake of whole grains isn't part of a healthy lifestyle if your body can't tolerate gluten.
The disease is more common than you may realize.
According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, one in 133 people have celiac disease. It can occur at any age and affects men, women and children. More than 97 percent of people who have the disease are undiagnosed.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, in which the body attacks itself.
For people with the disease, the small intestine is unable to process gluten, the protein molecule found in wheat, oats, barley and rye.
In addition to those grains, gluten can be hidden in thickeners for sauces, processed foods, soups, salad dressings and more.
Hidden gluten can be found in product ingredients (food, vitamins and medications), labeled as unidentified starch, binders, fillers, extenders and malt.
Gluten is the protein that preserves moisture and prevents foods from falling apart. It also helps breads, muffins and other bakery goods to rise.
Normally, our intestine uses small, hairlike villi to absorb nutrients. For those with the disease, the villi are damaged and unable to absorb nutrients from food.
Left undiagnosed, the disease can cause severe intestinal damage, nutritional deficiencies and the development of other health problems.
Tests, Symptoms, Family History Can Help Identify Disease
Celiac disease can be associated with other autoimmune diseases, such as insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Turner syndrome and more.
It can also be associated with people who suffer from fibromyalgia, Down syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Symptoms vary and often include gastrointestinal effects, but not always.
Research shows the disease has a genetic predisposition. When one person is diagnosed, other family members should consider testing.
Testing initially involves blood tests to see if you have an intolerance, allergy or the disease itself. You may need to undergo a biopsy to determine whether your intestines show villi damage.
Some people may have similar symptoms without having celiac disease. They may be allergic to wheat or intolerant of gluten.
Gluten-Free Diet Comes With Trade-Offs
It's not advisable to eat gluten-free if you don't have celiac disease, a gluten allergy or intolerance. The diet typically lacks fiber and nutrients that must be supplemented.
Gluten-free eating has been on an upswing recently with news of celebrities using it as a weight-loss diet.
For those with the disease or a gluten intolerance, gluten-free diets are a lifeline to better health.
With an increased awareness of celiac disease, more gluten-free foods are being made, and many have as much flavor as the gluten-filled counterparts.
For gluten-free living, look for gluten-free restaurants and check local grocery stores for gluten-free products. Support groups are available in person and online.
As my body heals, I'm paying close attention to nutrition: increasing important vitamins, minerals and fiber. I plan to take additional tests to see if I have any other food allergies.
Researching foods is the first big challenge, especially in hunting for foods that don't have hidden gluten.
Overall, the diagnosis has been a positive experience.
I've found new friends, helpful resources, great new dishes and foods that are delicious and make me feel good.
How to Get Help
Gluten Intolerance Support Group of St. Petersburg offers help to those with celiac disease.
The following are common symptoms of celiac disease:
- Abdominal cramping
- Intestinal gas
- Distention and bloating of the stomach
- Chronic diarrhea or constipation (or both)
- Unexplained anemia due to folic acid, B12 or iron deficiency (or a combination of all)
- Unexplained weight loss with large appetite
- Unexplained weight gain
Other symptoms can include osteopenia, osteoporosis, bone or joint pain, fatigue, weakness, lack of energy, depression, mouth ulcers, tingling or numbness in hands or feet and migraine headaches.

Travel inspiration in Berlin and Warsaw
Berlin, capital of Germany
Berlin is the capital of Germany and also its largest city. It is located in the northeast of the country and is home to more than 4 million people. Did you know that Berlin is 9 times bigger than Paris and has 1,700 bridges, more than Venice?
After the World War II, the city was divided into two parts surrounded by the Berlin Wall. In 1989 the wall was destroyed, followed by the German reunification in 1990. As a result, Berlin regained its status as the capital of Germany. Having bounced back confidently from 20th century division, Berlin is has become one of Europe's most exciting destinations.
Today Berlin, home to a multicultural population, is a city of culture, media, science and creativity.
Warsaw, the destination that becomes increasingly popular
Cosmopolitan Warsaw was almost entirely destroyed during the Second World War, but was painstakingly rebuilt over the following decades. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town enthrals visitors with its baroque architecture and vibrant culture, while the glassy skyscrapers and shopping malls of the modern city point to the future.

Gus Kenworthy Literally Flips for Pet Adoption at Petco Park

Olympic silver medalist, Gus Kenworthy, literally flipped out tonight trying to raise awareness for pet adoption at the San Diego Padres game.

Woburn City Council is considering some moves to prevent, limit or at least regulate possible medical marijuana dispensaries in town.
According to minutes from the Jan. 15 City Council meeting, provided by Town Clerk William Campbell, the council considered two different proposals, a moratorium and a zoning change.
The moves are in response to the passage of a ballot article that now allows medical marijuana in Massachusetts in the November, 2012 election. The passage of ballot question 3 allows for medical marijuana dispensaries, up to five in each Massachusetts county. The new law goes into effect January 1, but requires rules and regulations be set up by the Department of Public Health.
According to the minutes, Aldermen Michal Anderson and Michael Raymond and Council President Paul Denaro put forward a petition to amend the 1985 Woburn Zoning Ordinance by adding a definition of "medical marijuana treatment center' between "message therapist" and "menu board/order board."
If those changes are approved, no medical marijuana dispensaries would be allowed:
- Within one thousand feet of a residential zoning district, public or private school, or church or other structure used in whole or in part all the time or part of the time for religious or spiritual services.
- Within one thousand feet of any facility where large numbers of minors regularly congregate.
- Within two thousand feet of a public park, playground, nursery school or day care center.
The council also discussed a proposal from the Woburn Planning Board on a moratorium, according to the minutes.
In a letter to the council from the planning board, on Jan.8 the board voted to recommend a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries until Jan. 1, 2014.
"At the Planning Board meeting held on January 8, 2013, the Board voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a temporary moratorium on the use of land and structures in Woburn for the siting of medical marijuana treatment centers and associated activities, so as to allow the City sufficient time to engage in a planning process to address the direct and secondary effects of siting such centers in Woburn and to enact zoning amendments in a manner consistent with sound land use planning goals and objectives and any regulations promulgated by the State Department of Public Health," a letter from the board reads.
According to the letter the moratorium would disallow building permits, special permits, variances and site plan approval for any medical marijuana establishment. It would also address any applications that come in before city council votes to establish a moratorium.
"Applications for permits submitted after the first publication of the notice of the public hearing which results in the adoption of this moratorium but before the moratorium's effective date, shall be administered according to established procedures until the effective date of this moratorium, and if a permit or other relief is granted prior to such effective date, it shall be subject to the effectiveness of this moratorium and shall be issued at the peril of the permit applicant and/or recipient," the letter states.
Woburn City Council did not vote on either measure but instead voted unanimously to continue the public hearing until the meeting on Feb. 19.
What do you think? Should Woburn restrict where medical marijuana dispensaries can be set up? Should the town attempt to prohibit dispensaries all together or simply allow them? Let us know in the comments below.

This versatile, oil-rich fish is a popular restaurant choice but you can work wonders with it at home too. Try one of our salmon recipes - from classic dishes such as salmon-en-croûte and salmon tart to Oriental-inspired laksa and sashimi.
The salmon group of fish is extensive and can be found in both salt and fresh waters around the globe. The members of this group (which include trout species) are versatile, oil-rich fish with varying flavours and textures. Lesser-known members of the salmon group include char, which resembles trout but has distinguishing markings. This fish has a delicate flavour and was traditionally 'potted'.
Salmon is a sea-going fish, but starts its life in freshwater. Atlantic salmon is the head of the salmon group. It has a deep-orange flaky oil-rich texture and is easily recognisable due to its heavily-scaled, silver skin and black, speckled back.
Atlantic salmon was once prolific in the rivers of Northern Europe, but its popularity led to its decline and because it is now a vulnerable species, conservationists recommend avoiding wild Atlantic salmon. The fish is now mostly farmed and due to concerns about the impact of fish farming, it is best to choose organic or RSPCA Freedom Foods if you can. It is sold whole, or as fillets or steaks, both fresh and frozen. It is also available hot - and cold - smoked. The Pacific salmon species are more abundant and sustainable in the wild.
Whole salmon are usually gutted: if you're cooking a whole salmon, the gills should be removed. Salmon fillets usually require skinning; if cooking salmon fillets with the skin on, be sure they've been scaled. Pin bones can be removed before or after cooking.
Salmon is a popular choice due to its versatility. It can be grilled, baked, pan-fried, deep-fried or poached and pairs well with many flavours. It is excellent poached and served with hollandaise sauce, or deep-fried as tempura and cooked with Asian flavours such as soy, sesame, chilli and ginger. Cooked whole or as sandwiched whole fillets, salmon is a good fish to use when catering for large numbers.

NORTH MANKATO — A marble representation of the Blessed Mother above the main doors at Holy Rosary Catholic Church could well be dubbed "Our Lady of the Patient Parish."
It's been 63 years since a pocket where a figure could be placed was built into the house of worship.
Holy Rosary parish was organized in 1924. The original church building now houses the parish school. The present building was built in 1950.
"So many in the parish didn't even know the insert for a statue was there," said Kurt Evans, maintenance manager.
Rev. Peter Nosbush began a search a few years ago to fill the longtime vacancy.
Church secretary Lorraine Klaseus was the one who noticed the empty spot on the building where she has been attending services during the past 52 years. So, when she found out the Nosbush was making arrangements to order a marble figure, she pitched in. Klaseus donated funeral memorials she was given in honor of her husband, John, who died in 2011.
"I went to Father and asked, 'Can this be used for the statue?'" Klaseus said.
Parishioners contributions covered most of the cost of the $10,000 needed to purchase, deliver and install the 45-inch, 250-pound carved work.
Richard and Carol Boruff gave in memory of his parents, Sam and Juella Boruff, who were members of Holy Rosary for about 70 years.
"We thought it would be nice to do something in their honor," Richard Boruff said.
Nosbush ordered the bas relief statue of Mary and the baby Jesus from a marble company in Italy.The stone work is a replica of any earlier work by an unidentified artist. Its figures were fashioned from a Tuscany quarry's blue-gray Carrara marble, the same material Michelangelo used for his "David" and "Pieta" sculptures.
On May 31, a crew from Kunkel Electric installed the statue, which looks out over Sherman Avenue. The Mother Mary and her Son, now smile lovingly over everyone who enters the church.
"She is Our Lady of the Rosary," Nosbush said.
Parish members were able to get a close look at the statue when it was blessed during a service last fall, before she was lifted to her permanent spot above the peak of the building. Lighting for the statue has not yet been placed.

Loudoun County Commissioner of the Revenue Robert S. Wertz Jr. announced this week that he recently mailed 2013 personal property filing requirement notices to more than 170,000 personal property owners currently on the county's tax rolls, and changes are due by Feb. 1.
This marks the fourth year that property owners have been asked to complete the annual vehicle reporting process online, which eliminates the need to complete and return forms by mail for each automobile, truck, motorcycle, camper, trailer, boat, motorhome, aircraft or mobile home a taxpayer owns.
Notices include an account number that can be used by personal property owners to access the online reporting system at www.loudoun.gov/vehicle-file.
Corrections, address changes, the sale or disposal of a vehicle, or unusually high mileage can be reported, since these items might affect the property's valuation or number of months to be taxed.
To avoid late filing penalties, report newly acquired vehicles or those recently entering the county to the Commissioner of the Revenue within 60 days of a purchase or a move to Loudoun County. For information or filing assistance, please visit www.loudoun.gov/cor or contact the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue at email@example.com or 703-777-0260.
Taxpayers without Internet access can submit written statements to report changes, or stop by the Commissioner's Leesburg, 1 Harrison Street SE, or Sterling, 21641 Rigetop Circle Suite 100, offices on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Tribune-Star
Even third-degree burns don't get a cheerleader down when it's time to play.
Nine-year-old Carmen Schleppy — who suffered severe burns in 2011 — got on the field inside Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday as Indianapolis squared off against the Miami Dolphins. Earlier in the weekend she helped launch the Indiana Pacers' opening night, all as part of the 2013 Class of Riley Champions presented by Kroger.
By 2:30 p.m. Sunday, the stadium was loud with cheers, but Carmen said over the telephone she was having fun.
"Watching the cheerleaders," she said when asked about what she saw.
Last week, Carmen's mother, Colleen, said her daughter's accident on May 2, 2011, resulted in severe burns over 60 percent of her body. The family was moving into its new home just south of Brazil, and the little girl was standing next to the fireplace in their old home. Sparks caught onto her skirt, and within seconds her clothes were on fire. The burns, both second- and third-degree, were severe, covering her left leg and waist, up her back. Portions of her right leg and left hand were also burned.
Carmen was airlifted to Riley Hospital for Children, which offers the only pediatric burn unit in the state.
"All the nurses were outstanding," Colleen said, crediting the program's diverse range of therapies from physical to occupational. "She had to learn to walk all over again."
Carmen spent three months at Riley as a patient, two of which were in bed. Nine surgeries and months of therapy later, she was back to catching frogs in her family's pond.
"She's back into tumbling and cheerleading and her normal Brownie activities. Nothing stops her," Colleen said of the Jackson Township Elementary School student.
Kathy McGregor, clinical manager at the Riley Burn Center, said Carmen's successful recovery is one of the reasons staff are so loyal to the program. Getting kids back to playing after severe burns is very rewarding.
"She had a tough fight," McGregor recalled.
But the program incorporates as much fun into recovery as possible, and Carmen proudly displayed her necklaces full of beads and charms earned while an in-patient. Children in the burn unit are given beads each day as they complete routine tasks, from waking up and going to bed, to completing various therapies. The incentives add up, and by the end of three months Carmen had several necklaces full of ornaments.
The beads program, sponsored by former Colts player Jeff Saturday (now with the Green Bay Packers), gives kids something they can look forward each day, McGregor said.
"That's something that's pretty unique to what we do," she said, explaining how the kids use the beads as a measure of their own progress.
Carmen also enjoyed her music and art therapy.
"I had lots of fun doing music therapy because I like to play the guitar," she said.
Art therapy involved coloring and making princess ornaments, all of which helped her regain fine motor skills in her hand.
The Riley Champions program was launched five years ago to honor patients who have inspired communities with their bravery and commitment to help others. The group is selected from nominations submitted by Riley Hospital caregivers, Riley Children's Foundation staff, school administrators and others inspired by their character.
After her experiences in the hospital, Carmen has begun raising funds for the Hoosier Burn Camp, which provides activities for children and networking for past patients.
With nurses at the hospital, she also helped start Compression for Compassion, a program which sends compression garments to burn survivors in Third World countries.
Carmen said she was looking forward to meeting the seven other Riley Champions in her class, and Thursday afternoon she was hoping to score a hug from Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.
"Nothing gets her down," her mother said.

By Nick Curcuru
Sports Editor
---- — For Gloucester's Jacob Holscher, Matt Carpenter and Bianca Giacalone this is now uncharted territory. The trio has found plenty of success, even dominance on the track this season, but this will be the first trip to the MIAA All State Track and Field Championships for all three Gloucester stars.
Holscher, Carpenter and Giacalone will square off with the state's best on Saturday at the Reggie Lewis Track and Field Center in Boston.
The Gloucester trio qualified for Saturday's All State Meet last weekend at the Division 2 State Championship Meet as Holscher placed third in the mile, Carpenter third in the 600 and Giacalone fourth in the 300.
Stepping right in
Holscher is remarkably competing in winter track for the first time in his high school career, and it didn't take him long to make an impact on the team. A star on the outdoor track and on the cross country course, Holscher immediately gained the respect of his teammates as both a competitor and a leader as the team voted him in as captain.
"I sat the team down the first week of practice and told them we haven't named a captain yet because all of them graduated," Gloucester head coach Jeff Destino said. "Jacob stepped right up. In the back of my mind I knew he would be a good captain, he was a tremendous captain during cross country season. But it was his first year running indoor track so I didn't know if his teammates would vote him in but they did and he's been great.
He leads by example on the track. He's quiet by he's very mature and has turned into a quality leader."
Holscher's presence as a leader was felt by the team immediately, as was his production on the track. The senior captain has steadily improved his time over the season en route to a berth in the All State meet.
Although it was just his first season running indoors, Holscher finished the regular season unbeaten in conference play and went on to win the mile at the Northeastern Conference Championship Meet earlier this month.
Holscher said he decided to run winter track this year because he just can't get enough of running.
"It's my senior year and I just wanted to run as much as I could," the NEC mile champion said. "It took a little time to transition from running a 5k in cross country to the mile but I think I'm a little better at the shorter distances, it's been a good season."
Holscher got to the All State Meet with a career best performance last weekend. Squaring off the best milers in Division 2 he shaved 11 seconds off of his previous personal best time to finish in third place (4:23.19).
"My goal was a top four finish and to qualify for the All State so I was really happy to get them both," Holscher said. "My training has gone very well over the last couple of weeks and the competition really pushed me to get a good time."
He is hoping to top that time again on Saturday against the best milers in the state.
"I want to live up to my seed," he said. "I'm looking for a top five finish."
Peaking at the right time
It takes a special breed of runner to successfully navigate the 600, and Carpenter certainly fits the mold.
The 600 can be a very tricky race as it is a bit of an in between race as one has to have sprinter like speed to go along with the endurance of a straight distance runner. As a soccer player in the fall, Carpenter's skill set falls into both of those categories which makes him one of the most dangerous 600 runners in the state.
"You have to be versatile," Destino said. "The 600 is kind of an in between race. Often times kids running the 600 are very athletic and Matt is definitely a great athlete. He also has an endurance background being a soccer player and a middle distance runner.
What also makes Matt so good is his toughness. It's the shortest distance race in indoor track and he has the determination and he loves to compete."
Since the start of the season Carpenter has inched closer and closer to his goal of the school's 600m record, which currently belongs to Kevin Hurd (1:23.88). Carpenter came within a second of that mark in the Mass. Coaches Meet last month and came really close again en route to a first place finish at the Northeastern Conference Championships earlier this month.
Carpenter, however, saved his best time for the most important meet of the year with a third place finish at last week's Division 2 State Meet with a time of 1:24.18. The time bumped Carpenter up four spots from the No. 7 seed he entered the meet with.
"He came into the season super motivated knowing he has a chance to break the record, and he has another chance on Saturday," Destino said.
Raising the bar
Giacalone came into the winter track season already sporting the school record in the 300m, but that didn't stop her from breaking her own record three more times this indoor season.
The senior captain has been wreaking havoc on the Northeastern Conference over the last four seasons, but this is her first trip to All States. She is hoping to best her school record mark, which currently stands at 42.42 seconds, once again at the All State Meet.
"It's really exciting, especially with it being my senior year," Giacalone said. "I've been to states since my freshman year but haven't been able to make it this far, it's exciting to get to the next level. Hopefully I can end the season on a good note and lower my time again."
Entering the Division 2 Meet last weekend as the No. 9 seed, Giacalone had to improve upon her time to get into the All State Meet in a race where times are very closely contested, and she did just that.
The senior sprinter, who is heading to Merrimack College next fall to run track and play soccer, competed in the slower of two heats last weekend, but her mentality did not change. Instead of focusing on her opponents, Giacalone focused on herself and that mind set paid off as she finished in fourth place with another record time.
"It's these big meets where you have to step up to the plate so I came in a little nervous but focused," Giacalone said. "I knew my standing would be by time, not where I finished in my heat so I went out with the mind set that I needed to break away from the pack. In a few races I went out too fast and I have finished with too much energy before too, I think I put it all together (last weekend)."

Williamstown, Mass. - September 24, 2011 - The Springfield College women's cross country team competed in the Purple Valley Classic Saturday afternoon at Williams College, placing 12th out of 16 teams.

'UFO Octopus' Destroys Wind Turbine; Gore Fears for Life
Coming next: Loch Ness Monster Cause of All Water Pollution, Yeti Melts Polar Ice Caps.
A few British papers are running a story, based on eyewitness reports, that an "Octopus-shaped UFO" swept through Lincolnshire, UK and destroyed a wind turbine, lopping off one blade and twisting another.
Well, this explains everything. Polluted water? It's because of the Loch Ness Monster. Melting ice caps? blame the Yeti. If we could manage to catch a unicorn, their magical powers would help us get to 350 million parts per million of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Rather than being man-made, global warming is monster-made. Al Gore probably anticipated this, and is hiding in a monster-proof, alien-proof bunker, trembling (he's purchased offsets for his emergency generator, of course). Clearly, he is next on the octopus alien army's list.
Or, you could believe that the blade was blown off by some errant fireworks, or ice that had built up on the blades. Whatever.

Statistics say 80 percent of inmates at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Jail and jails across the country abuse drugs in some way. Here's the story of one former Charlottesville inmate who not only turned his life around but who is also helping others recover from addiction.
For 35 years, Herb Dickerson abused drugs and committed numerous crimes to keep up his habit. He was in and out of the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional jail more times than he wants to remember.
"I wouldn't stop at anything to get the drug of my choice," said Dickerson.
From heroin, crack cocaine, to marijuana and alcohol, Dickerson used it all.
"I think my lowest point [was] when I lied and said my mother had died [in order] to get a paycheck from my employer to buy drugs," said Dickerson.
His highest point was four years ago when he gave up a life of drugs.
"I got clean April 21st, 2001," said Dickerson.
Dickerson credits the drug rehabilitation program at the jail and Region Ten with his success. Now he wants to give back.
Today Region Ten announced that Dickerson will head up a Charlottesville chapter of the Substance Abuse and Addiction Recovery Alliance.
"[SAARA] is a local grassroots advocacy group that really works to increase resources available to people with addictions within the community," said Neta Davis of Region Ten.
"If we just save one or two [people, and give them] a better way of life, it will be worthwhile," said Dickerson.
The first meeting of the Charlottesville chapter of the SAARA program is on October 19th at 6 p.m. at the Region Ten offices on 4th Street NW.

RALEIGH — Jeff Skinner was back in town Wednesday, back skating with some Carolina Hurricanes teammates at Raleigh Center Ice.
And, he said, he is still unsure where he will be skating next.
Skinner has been home in Markham, Ont., since the NHL lockout began Sept. 16. He has stayed busy, saying he has conditioning workouts five times a week with former Canes forward Gary Roberts while skating three times a week.
"I'm just taking it day by day, seeing how it goes," said Skinner, a forward. "It's tough to make plans because you don't know if things are going to change. So you just take it day by day."
Skinner, the 2011 Calder Trophy winner, was one of 28 players assigned by the Hurricanes to Charlotte of the American Hockey League on Sept. 15, the day the NHL's collective bargaining agreement expired. That made him eligible to play in the AHL, but he was given permission by the Hurricanes to remain home in Canada and train on his own rather than reporting to the Checkers.
Skinner said Wednesday he was not headed to the Checkers, who will play their home opener Sunday at Time Warner Cable Arena, but would skate a few times with the Canes at RCI and likely go back to Toronto.
"I'll see how these workouts go here," he said. "I had a good training program going on at home, so I'll probably head back within the next week. I'll just play with the guys (at RCI) until then."
Skinner said he drove to Raleigh with his father, Andy, to check on his apartment and to see some teammates at RCI. On Wednesday, he joined Eric and Jordan Staal, Jussi Jokinen, Jay Harrison and others, and appeared to be having fun.
Skinner, 20, also had a different look – longer hair. Maybe not a Justin Faulk-like flow, but a flow.
"I just figured to change it up and let it grow for a while," he said, smiling.
Like many NHL players, Skinner is getting antsy. He understands the need for player solidarity in insisting on a fair CBA, but he also wants to play.
"We're all hockey players, so that's what we want to do," he said. "Everyone, I think, is pretty anxious and everyone is ready to go."
If the lockout lingers, he might look to join the exodus of players going overseas. More than 200 NHL players have made the move and there will be more to follow.
"I'm not really ruling out any options right now," Skinner said. "I'm just looking into everything. It's something my agent (Rick Curran) is going to explore. He'll get back to me when he has something me and my family can talk about, and we'll go from there."
Living in the Toronto area, Skinner is inundated with constant stories and media reports about the lockout, about the CBA talks. He said he tries to keep up with the latest news, but only to a point.
"You don't want to get caught up in all the rumors and speculation, but at the same time I want to be informed," he said. "I'm pretty up to date on what's going on, but my focus has been on my training."

I've been seeing a lot of pretzel creations on the Internet lately and this is one of them, thought I'd jump on the bandwagon myself. I went to three different stores looking for the round pretzels and no luck so I opted for the Christmas pretzels. The round ones actually work better because the hugs settle in there so nicely. All you do is place a hershey kiss on top of the pretzel and melt them in the oven for 4 to 6 minutes at 200 degrees, and once they come out you place an M & M on top of them. Super easy and it doesn't require mixing anything in a bowl. What other pretzel creations will they come up with next?
Recipe adapted from Cooking Classy
Pretzel M&M Hugs
- Hershey chocolate kisses
- M&M candies
- Round or square pretzels
|Step 1
|Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
|Step 2
|Place pretzels down on a cookie sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Put a Hershey kiss in the middle of each pretzel. Let the hershey kisses melt in the oven for 4 to 6 minutes. Immediately after the pretzel and hershey kisses come out of the oven place an M&M on top.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Rifampin decreases blood levels of prednisolone by increasing its breakdown in the liver. The dose of prednisolone may need to be increased in order to avoid therapeutic failure.
Corticosteroids have variable effects of warfarin (Coumadin) therapy. Coagulation levels should be monitored more closely when anticoagulants are combined with corticosteroids.
Estrogens may increase the levels of prednisolone by decreasing its breakdown. When estrogens are used with prednisolone, side effects of prednisolone should be monitored.
PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies in pregnant women of prednisolone.
NURSING MOTHERS: Prednisolone has not been adequately evaluated in nursing mothers.
SIDE EFFECTS: Prednisolone side effects depend on the dose, the duration and the frequency of administration. Short courses of prednisolone - days to a week or two - are usually well tolerated with few and mild side effects. Long-term, high doses of prednisolone will usually produce predictable, and potentially serious side effects. Whenever possible, the lowest effective doses of prednisolone should be used for the shortest length of time to minimize side effects. Alternate day dosing can also help reduce side effects.
Side effects of prednisolone and other corticosteroids range from mild annoyances to serious irreversible damage. Side effects include fluid retention, weight gain, high blood pressure, potassium loss, headache, muscle weakness, puffiness of and hair growth on the face, thinning and easy bruising of the skin, glaucoma, cataracts, peptic ulceration, worsening of diabetes, irregular menses, growth retardation in children, convulsions, and psychic disturbances. Psychic disturbances can include depression, euphoria, insomnia, mood swings, personality changes, and even psychotic behavior.
Prolonged use of prednisolone can depress the ability of body's adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids. Abruptly stopping prednisolone can cause symptoms of corticosteroid insufficiency, with accompanying nausea, vomiting, and even shock. Therefore, withdrawal of prednisolone is usually accomplished by gradual tapering. Gradually tapering prednisolone not only minimizes the symptoms of corticosteroid insufficiency, but it also reduces the risk of an abrupt flare of the disease under treatment.
Prednisolone and other corticosteroids can mask signs of infection and impair the body's natural immune response to infection. Patients on corticosteroids are more susceptible to infections and can develop more serious infections than healthy individuals. For instance, chickenpox and measles viruses can produce serious and even fatal illnesses in patients on high doses of prednisolone. Live virus vaccines, such as smallpox vaccine, should be avoided in patients taking high doses of prednisolone, since even vaccine viruses may cause disease in patients taking prednisolone. Some infectious organisms, such as tuberculosis (TB) and malaria, can remain dormant in a patient for years. Prednisolone and other corticosteroids can reactivate dormant infections in these patients and cause serious illnesses. Patients with dormant TB may require anti-TB medications while undergoing prolonged corticosteroid treatment.
By interfering with the patient's immune response, prednisolone can impede the effectiveness of vaccinations. Prednisolone can also interfere with the tuberculin skin test and cause false negative results in patients with tuberculosis infection.
Prednisolone impairs calcium absorption and new bone formation. Patients on prolonged treatment with prednisolone and other corticosteroids can develop osteoporosis and an increased risk of bone fractures. Supplemental calcium and vitamin D are encouraged to slow this process of bone thinning. In some patients, medications used to treat osteoporosis may be prescribed. In rare individuals, destruction of large joints can occur while undergoing treatment with prednisolone or other corticosteroids. These patients experience severe pain in the involved joints, and can require replacement of joints. The reason behind such destruction is not clear.

After many years of seclusion and prayer, he traveled to Gaul (modern-day France) with 12 companion missionaries. They won wide respect for the rigor of their discipline, their preaching, and their commitment to charity and religious life in a time characterized by clerical laxity and civil strife. Columban established several monasteries in Europe which became centers of religion and culture.
Like all saints, he met opposition. Ultimately he had to appeal to the pope against complaints of Frankish bishops, for vindication of his orthodoxy and approval of Irish customs. He reproved the king for his licentious life, insisting that he marry. Since this threatened the power of the queen mother, Columban was deported to Ireland. His ship ran aground in a storm, and he continued his work in Europe, ultimately arriving in Italy, where he found favor with the king of the Lombards. In his last years he established the famous monastery of Bobbio, where he died. His writings include a treatise on penance and against Arianism, sermons, poetry and his monastic rule.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — There's an old saying that's been around nearly as long as the BCS: The computers like Oklahoma.
That appears to not be the case this year. The Sooners (3-0) have yet to crack the top 10 in either The Associated Press or USA Today Top 25. They have in three of the six computer polls that comprise one-third of the BCS formula for picking the teams for the national championship game.
OU is ranked No. 2 in the Colley Matrix Top 50, No. 4 in the Billingsley Top 50 and No. 9 in the Sagarin Top 50. The Sooners are No. 19 in the Massey Ratings Top 50. The Anderson/Hester Top 50 and Wolfe Ratings have not released polls.
The initial BCS standings will be released Oct. 13 (the day after the OU-Texas game).
Settling in: OU has shown two very different offenses over the first three games. It was run-heavy against Louisiana-Monroe and West Virginia, using a lot of two receiver, two running back formations. Against Tulsa, there were more receivers on the field.
With no game this week and extra time to prepare for the Sept. 28 meeting with Notre Dame, receivers coach Jay Norvell said a lot of that will be spent trimming down the offense.
"Over the first three weeks, you see a lot of different things you've been practicing in the off season, and there are a lot of things that we're implementing," OU receivers coach Jay Norvell said. "By the third game, you've seen a lot of it and you kinda polish it up and use what you need week to week to win. That's kinda where we're at right now."
Naturally aggressive: Freshman running back Keith Ford has quickly become a team and fan favorite because of his running style. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Ford has 11 carries for 66 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown run against Tulsa and hasn't done anything other than lower his head.
OU coach Bob Stoops said the freshman is the most physical running back he's coached since Adrian Peterson. Oddly enough, the Cypress, Texas, native is still relatively new to football.
Basketball and soccer were his sports as a child. He didn't start playing football until his freshman year of high school, but he quickly found a running style that fit.
"I always liked to hit people," he said. "It was just something I took to."
Nothing to relate: OU's trip to Notre Dame will be the program's first since 1999. Its quarterback in that 34-30 loss to the Fighting Irish was offensive coordinator Josh Heupel.
Obviously, he'll have some things to relate to current OU quarterback Blake Bell, but none of it will be recollections from that game. OU blew a 16-point in the second half in the loss.
"I remember having a three-possession lead and it not finishing the way we wanted it to," Heupel said Tuesday night.

RALEIGH — Two North Carolina Supreme Court justices had a handful of questions Monday for attorneys arguing for and against the constitutionality of the current congressional and legislative districts.
The questions about how the arguments fit with previous rulings on similar matters came amid two hours of arguments in a case that will decide whether maps from a 2011 redistricting directed by the Republican-led General Assembly will be used through 2020.
Paul Newby, a justice whose re-election in 2012 has made him the target for two requests to recuse himself from hearing the case, was there for the arguments but asked no questions.
Democratic voters and others challenging the 2011 boundaries have unsuccessfully sought to have Newby removed from hearing the case. They argued that Newby had a legal conflict of interest because a Republican group interested in keeping the legislative boundaries had indirectly contributed more than $1 million to his bid for the bench.
Democratic voters and civil rights organizations challenging the maps argue that 30 districts drawn in 2011 were designed to weaken the overall influence of black voters in North Carolina.
The map challengers contend that the shepherds of the redistricting packed black voters into districts where they had already been successful in electing their candidates of choice despite being in the minority.
The courts have allowed parties to draw districts for political advantage, but prohibit racial gerrymandering.
Republicans have argued that they followed the law when creating the districts. The U.S. Justice Department, whose leadership was appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama, found that the maps did not hurt the ability of minorities to elect candidates of their choice and pre-cleared them under a procedure laid out by the federal Voting Rights Act.
A three-member panel of N.C. Superior Court judges ruled in favor of the mapmakers in July and rejected many of the same arguments made before the state Supreme Court justices on Monday.
The justices offered no indication during the hearing of how or when they might rule.
