Comments on Streetscape Project from Village Trustee & Reader
The entire streetscaping project seemed like a pain from the beginning ... the minute they tried to justify the beginning date of construction because of the Criterion bike race, I knew it would be an irritating process.
Far be it from me to criticize the actual process of construction having not done it myself, but the first thing they did was tear up the sidewalks on the west side of Oakland (where I live in an apartment building), and it looks like those will be the last spots to be filled in. For almost two and a half months now I've had to walk through the mud, piles of rocks, or the middle of the street to get to my car or walk to class. Not so much a walkable community.
It's also very dangerous. With the impeded walking routes and the dearth of light fixtures, people are forced to walk randomly and on occasion have to dodge cars. I ride my bike to class each day and cheat death each time I am on Oakland.
The parking situation affects me twofold as I have nighttime parking in the east lot of the high school, right by the fitness center, which is the only parking available. Back to the timing, they could have easily started this when school was not in session so the closing of the SHS parking lot was less cumbersome. Some intrepid Saturday drivers have managed to find their way into the lot anyway by driving on the sidewalk.
Anyway, I'm a full time grad student at UWM and I have no need for my car, so now I have to wait until 10:30p each night to get my car into the lot and take it out by 7a. I park west of Oakland on Beverly taking the only open road outside of Morris to get there: Newton. Not many people know of Newton because it's partially obscured by haphazard construction barrels, raised concrete, and mud. But it works.
Judging by how few cars are parked over there, I am guessing the businesses I live above are suffering because the casual person would not know of any place to park. Beverly east of Oakland provides a few street spaces for consumers, but that's highly difficult to turn on if you're coming from the north ... with the street light out at Menlo, cars have no reason to stop and this stretch of Oakland becomes even more dangerous.
Some of what I ramblingly written can't be fixed, but the least the village could have done was schedule this construction when SHS wasn't in session and when UWM was in summer session so that the crews could focus on the work without the significant amount of traffic they've had to deal with this fall. Particularly amusing is the letter the village sent this week saying they were "considering a proposal." Great, make a decision and get it over with already.
Thanks for the time,
Nate Roth
Your recent posts would seem to indicate that this is the end of the world in Shorewood. We have to endure – gasp! – heavier traffic, slightly slower travel times on Oakland and to top it off – WE CAN"T PARK WHERE WE WANT TO!! Horrors! We might have to park our stupid cars and actually walk a couple extra blocks to our destination.
Dear Trustee Anderson –response to your comments on parking &construction in Shorewood:
Following are Trustee Dawn Anderson's comments (underlined) and my responses (in italics) to her:
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Halloween can be traced to ancient times, when some pagans set aside a day to commemorate the end of summer. The spirits of dead people returned to earth at this time, they believed, taking the forms of cats and witches and the like. Fearful that these spirits might do them harm, people attempted to scare them away by building fires and displaying pictures of grotesque faces. They would also place food offerings at their doors, hoping that any visiting spirits would take the treat and forget the trick. Our lighted carved pumpkins, masks, and trick-or-treat rituals have their origins in these practices. …Richard MoawEvery year schools around the country have similar discussions. Should Halloween be celebrated? Well, let's think. Other than it recalling happy pasts in us adults, feeding the economy and keeping dentists in starched, monogrammed shirts, why DO we make it such a big deal? Is it a tip of the hat to paganism, carrying on our country's proud tradition, or just one more reason to go out drinking?
No Work & No Parking for Shorewood Merchants
Pictures of Oakland Ave 4400 block --- no parking for business customers and no work being done --- same picture going on third week
Kirk Juffer --- New School Principal with Old School Values
Kirk Juffer, the principal of Lake Bluff grade school makes his job look easy --- probably because he loves what he does --- and he has the experience and wisdom to see problems while they are still in a potential state.
I believe I have met Kirk about half a dozen times --- mostly, just "hello – how's it going". Additionally, I have probably seen two or three presentations he has made over the years. I don't remember the exact topics of those presentations, but I know that each time, I thought "wow" this guy is good --- and he even has common sense !
Dear Village Board and Administration -- Please Stop Injuring Local Businesses
Amazingly Shorewood Village Officials have still not addressed the parking situation on North Oakland despite NO CONSTRUCTION WORK HAPPENING.
The NO PARKING signs are still up --- prohibiting customers of the local businesses from parking.
Streetscape Progress - D2D Review - Blindsiding Village Board - Reader Comments
No Gauntlets In Kids' Sizes
You walk into the cafeteria at work and posted on signs sticking up from the middle of each long table are numbers: 20-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, 40-45, 46-50, and 50+. You sit down with your brown little bag of celery sticks and peanut butter, and a big bouncer type guy comes up to you and asks you your age. No reason to lie here, you give it willingly. He shakes his head and unfolds his arm leading to an arrow-tip index finger. The 55 year olds sit at THAT table. You look at your friend who is 49 and back to the bouncer. You tell him that you are friends and want to eat together. You want to talk about your new baby or grandchild or boyfriend. The bouncer says he's sorry, which means just shut-up and move 'cuz he's not budging on this, and tells you it just doesn't work to mix everybody up that way. It's too hard to keep track of things. The younger employees need more help, the thirty-somethings always tease the new hires by stealing their desserts and besides, everyone finishes at a different time and that leaves people scattered all over the room. Add to that the known fact that old timers want to be left alone and the only solution is staff segregation. So you pick up your vitamin water and move. Later that day, back in your office, an email memo circulates reminding employees of the new cafeteria policy. Break it and you are subject to a charge of insubordination. You take the gauntlet out of your "In Box" and throw it down. Before you know it there are gauntlets flying all over the place.
Light Rail --- A Shot of Vitality for Shorewood and the Northshore
In today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, was a proposed Light Rail plan by Michael Cudahy.
I won't repeat his reasoning for Light Rail here. If you are interested and don't have today's paper, you can look it up online at http://www.jsonline.com/
Contractors in public areas prove exasperating.
Those who have not had experience with contractors especially in relation to public agencies do not realize how difficult it is to control schedules, services and even the quality of services and materials. Coordination is also an important and difficult factor of this type of activity.
Just one more surge.
I'm hoping for a surprise surge by our contractors on Oakland. It won't be until the final design elements go on that we'll see that there is any change.
The problem is that we don't know when the first days of winter are coming. We didn't know how the towers of the former University Club parking lot were going to look until the final cladding was installed. Now they look pretty good up there in the air.
Shorewood and its fantastic people is my community.
Shorewood is made up many grand people. I've always felt that way about this community and I'm very grateful to those involved in service to it.
Holding the ball.
Wherever there's a condition for group survival, in clans, in small villages and now in nations, government inevitably emerges.
Over-employment in Shorewood?
I was shopping on North Oakland again this afternoon. It wasn't raining but a bit wet and sort of sloppy for construction work; yet I saw one worker and a truck.
There was evidence of fresh concrete, so I'm sure that there must have been more than one worker earlier. The bolts in what seemed to be curred concrete indicate that the light standards could be installed at almost anytime.
Village Board, informal.
In attendance at the first Shorewood Village Board meeting of the month, I found that with only five members present that the Board acted more informally than during any of my other experiences. I've always thought that a 7-person board functions too ceremoniously in its actions. A five-member board seems to be just right
Announcement of priorities.
With all the various plans for Shorewood completed, paid for and absorbed in the minds of Shorewood's leaders they can now be stacked away. The steps that followed and are to follow are their conversion into priorities and the rationale for their order.
It appears that few public officials enter the local blogosphere as few if any comments are made by elected "representatives."
It may however, be the case that some of Shorewood's informed citizens do read these postings; therefore it might be wise for elected officials to know in advance what they may be held accounted for.
Seeing The Light on Oakland Avenue --- More Than Enough
As I was driving on North Oakland the other night, I suddenly realized that even though the Village has torn out half of the streetlights --- there was more than enough light for driving and pedestrian purposes.
Even though the lights on the west side of the street are gone - the ones on the east side do more than an adequate job. The question I have therefore is -- why do we need so many lights ?
Now is the time for Shorewood to consider the dynamics of urban design and the means for creating potential commercial activity areas.
We want to do more than remain an ordinary community where walking is pleasant and where children can attend good schools.
Why Not Leave the Autumn Leaves Alone
I often feel that Autumn may be the best season of all -- brilliantly colored leaves reflecting bright sunlight are a treat for the eyes - weather just cool enough for maybe a light jacket, a nice respite from the heat and humidity of August - something almost magical about walking through the carpet of leaves the trees have given to the ground - walking on rustling clouds of color - that induce one to a contentment of the moment mixed with a melancholy contemplation of the past and future.

Has Isaac led to gasoline price gouging?Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Allegations of price gouging have been pouring into consumer agencies in Florida and other states.
The average price of a gallon of gas climbed 12 cents in Palm Beach County after Tropical Storm Isaac dumped a foot of rain here, and then headed into the Gulf of Mexico to become a hurricane.
State laws forbid stores to jack up prices on gasoline, food, water and lumber in an emergency.
Retailers deny price gouging. They note that oil platforms and coastal refineries shut down as Isaac approached.
The rain-laden storm also disrupted gasoline distribution, leading to shortages in many places as tanker trucks stayed off the roads near refineries.
That's why, they say, prices also have risen far inland in states that do not expect to get any of Isaac's wind or water.
There also was a deadly explosion recently at a huge refinery in Venezuela, which allegedly affected world gasoline supply and contributed to the price run-up.
And it all comes just as people will be filling up their vehicles for Labor Day trips.
It always is amazing that gasoline prices go up instantly but come down slowly. It's hard to deny that retailers are taking advantage of excuses to raise prices. But does it amount to price gouging?
What do you think? Take our poll and/or leave a comment.

Public Access TV Eliminated in Seattle/King County
(Seattle, November 10, 2010) Yesterday SCAN TV (Seattle Community Access Network)
announced that they will cease operations as of December 31, 2010. Dian E. Ferguson, SCAN Executive Director, states "It saddens and disappoints me greatly that it has come to this. SCAN has lobbied both the Mayor's Office and Seattle City Council to reinstate funding, but has been unsuccessful. While public support has been high, the interests of Seattle citizens and SCAN viewers are being ignored. The public support has been overwhelming, but it does not appear that anyone with the authority to restore funding is listening." SCAN also attempted to negotiate a 6-month transition period with the City of Seattle, Department of Information Technology, but was unsuccessful in reaching workable terms.
On September 27, when Mayor Mike McGinn released his 2011 budget, funding was eliminated for SCAN and the budget required that public access be sent out to bid at a level far below what SCAN could operate with. At all three of the City Council budget hearings, SCAN had the largest turnouts of speakers/supporters, who spoke to the importance of public access television and free speech. At the final hearing, SCAN turned over to the City Council thousands of signatures collected in support of SCAN. Additionally, on the IdeaScale website <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?SCAN/bd71ef8a1f/fcd9144354/db05b899d4> that the City Council used to obtain public comment on the budget, supporting SCAN was among the top three issues the public wanted. Clearly, our public officials are not supportive of the concerns of our citizens.
Public access channels come from Section 611 of the Communications Act. They are dedicated channel space on cable systems specifically for "use by the general public." SCAN has operated Seattle's public access channel since 1999, airing on Comcast channel 77 in Seattle and most of King County and Broadstripe 23 in Seattle. The cable channels pay for public access through franchise fees paid by subscribers; since 2006, those franchise fees are paid by Comcast to the City of Seattle, Department of Information Technology, and are held in the Cable Television Franchise Subfund. The Department of Information Technology contracts with SCAN as the "designated public access manager for the City of Seattle." In 2010, SCAN received $650,000 from the City for this purpose.
SCAN offers two multi-camera television studios, three state of the art edit suites, and camera usage by the community, all at no charge. In addition, SCAN provides video production and editing training to hundreds of individuals and organizations annually. The proposal by the Mayor to fund public access at a level of $100,000 would not allow for funding for these services.
Community producers create the content for the majority of SCAN programs; it is broadly representative of a variety of perspectives and cultures. Many programs are in languages not available on mainstream television networks. SCAN ensures the presence of diverse cultural groups and ideas traditionally unheard, marginalized, or under-represented in the media. Mainstream and commercial media too often fails to tell the stories of diverse cultural groups. When the stories of these groups are told by mainstream and commercial media, they are often told incorrectly and/or with a bias. SCAN allows people to tell their own stories without filters, allowing the storyteller to be an agent of change that can foster dialogue and break down barriers. In this era of media consolidation, it is important that a medium be available for the independent voice. SCAN is a commercial-free station that embraces the notion of free speech.
SCAN currently airs on Comcast 77 and Broadstripe 23. It is unknown what will air on those channels until the City chooses a new public access provider. SCAN programming is not available for re-runs, as the individual producers own the programs, not the public access television station. Additionally, the City is threatening to sue SCAN to turn over its building, which SCAN owns outright. The building was deeded to SCAN by Comcast in 2006.
Lastly, the loss of SCAN will result in 15 individuals losing jobs. SCAN will be working with Employment Security and their health insurance broker to assist employees. More than one hundred community producers will lose the medium for sharing their messages and stories.

Read what the end of this sentence means.
My show is one, but also so many others. Some of the news on this station is only viewable on the public channel. The commercial channels can't show some shows because of the advertisers. It's nice to see some of the indepentant news that isn't filtered by big business.
I guess we are edging into "America the Business".
Amen to that!
The cable provider in my area just made all of us users purchase a box for "free" to each and every tv in the home that has internet feed...even though it has been working fine without for over a decade.
"Free" goes to .75 cents a box on the bill starting in January. It's a racket.
We have public service channels here and I rarely ever view them but I understand its value completely for churches and business, community design completely.
Everything it seems must have compensation in order to justify its existence nowadays.

As an alumni and parent, NDA is doing amazing things all of the time. The campus has been revamped with students and families responding well to it. New programs have been great. Keep up the good work!
11 of 13 8th grade boys attending Loyola in fall of 2012. Stats speak for themselves. Don't believe sour grape postings!
After being at Notre Dame for years, first as a student myself, and then as a parent, I have noticed a sad trend in the last couple of years. They are so interested in being a flashy school that they have lost sight of the true meaning of Catholic Education. The iPad technology while fantastic in its idea, is not being used a a supplement to the teaching, but as a replacement for the teacher. A general lack of concern for the student also seems to be prevalent now.
NDAE was a good school when we our son started 8 years ago. We chose NDAE because of the safe campus, good teachers and diverse community. What I could not have predicted was how GREAT NDAE would become. Our new principal started 2 yrs ago & committed to making NDAE "a catholic school for the 21st century". She & her team work to reach this goal every day! Progressive teaching methods, ongoing teacher development & best practices from a career in catholic education are helping drive the transformation. 4 boys basketball teams, after school arts (theater) and academic programs (#1 Decathlon team). Most programs did not exist 2 years ago & are a blessing at a small school. Technology is fully embraced by the entire community. All Jr. High students have iPads. My son is more engaged with Math & Science than ever before! The skills taught at NDAE will get our sons ready for HS & beyond. Instruction is focused on critical thinking, project based learning & teaching to the whole child. Our boys will be life long learners! Their future success will be due (in part) to the dedication of the NDAE administration and faculty. Our experience at NDAE has always been good but now it is GREAT!
NDAES offers a balanced curriculum and since the new administration took over, emphasis on building character and spirituality has taken the forefront even more. The administration made some much needed changes and the school is now a better institution. The new principal identified which curriculums needed an overhaul and took appropriate action. The new teachers this year have brought life to their subjects. For example, the JH students produced full Spanish dialogue imovies which illustrated their technological advancements and recently learned Spanish communication skills. The new principal has also catapulted the school into The Nation's spotlight by becoming a successful pioneer in the use of ipads at the K-8 grade levels. She remodeled and updated classrooms to keep up with modern-day technological needs and even surpass them. The new Junior High Villa houses a full Broadcast Media Center. The principal is humble about the school's accomplishments. Every newsletter we receive gives credit to where credit is due and the letters thank parents for their hard work and contributions. NDAES is giving our child a superior well-rounded education in an incredibly caring community.
Our daughter started K in September and so far, she is doing very well and already reading proficiently. The school is strict, but fair and while demanding of parents, everyone pitches in to help. We were accepted into two other excellent catholic schools in the area (St. Timothy's and St. Paul's in Westwood) and chose NDA over both, mainly due to the school's long-staning academic record, leadership and experience of the new Principal Mrs Paetzold and finally, the school's impressive campus facility. We also like the diverse community at NDA. We thought we would miss not having a church asociated with the school, but have not found this to be an issue.
Don't believe the March 2011 posting. Talk to some of the great teachers that the school administration drove out. Talk to the 6th grade parents whose children have been working on the names of colors in spanish class. When the last Principal left, many had great hope for the school's future, but another ineffective leader followed her. Academic Decathlon? The credit goes to the PARENT who managed the team. Most will tell you how the school hardly supported her efforts.
Notre Dame Academy is a great school. My suggestion to anyone interested is to visit during visitors day or open house and see how well the 8th grade class has done. 8th grade represents the end result of a rigorous yet balanced curriculum. Every student takes algebra before getting to high school. The school's Academic Decathlon team has brought home the LA Archdiocese 1st place trophy 2 years in a row (2010-2011) and came in 3rd place in the state last year! The sports programs are excellent also. Often placing 1st in the league and placing in LA Archdiocese-wide competitions such as basketball and track.
Notre Dame Academy has a great sense of family and community.
Too many students in the class rooms. Not enough time for one on one.
Compassionate,caring environment and strong on academics and traditional values. My daughter has attended from k through 2nd grade and she loves the social life. She has done well academically and made many friends. We are very pleased overall.
My three kids are all different and all have had an exceptional experience. High quality education, state of the art technology, credentialed teachers and accredited school. Very family friendly. Children can get into any high school of choice upon graduating here with decent grades.
An excellent school to send your child to.
They offer computer, music, art and Spanish. Also have after school care and sports teams. Currently reducing class size to 30 (from 35 or more). Good moral code. Traditional learning style (text book driven).

Menopause Health Center
Menopause Basics
What Are the Symptoms of Menopause?
Most women approaching menopause or who are postmenopausal will experience hot flashes, a sudden feeling of warmth that spreads over the upper body and is often accompanied by blushing and some sweating. The severity of hot flashes varies from mild in most women to severe in others.
Other common symptoms experienced around the time of menopause include:
- Irregular or skipped periods
- Insomnia
- Mood swings
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Irritability
- Racing heart
- Headaches
- Joint and muscle aches and pains
- Changes in libido (sex drive)
- Vaginal dryness
- Bladder control problems
Not all women get all of these symptoms.
How Do I Know When I Am Going Through Menopause?
Either you'll suspect the approach of menopause on your own, or your doctor will, based on your reported symptoms. Two very simple tests can accurately determine what's going on and what stage of menopause you're in: A blood test that detects your follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, which will dramatically rise as your ovaries begin to shut down, and a Pap-like smear. The smear, a sample taken from your vaginal walls, can be analyzed to check for vaginal ''atrophy,'' the thinning and drying-out of your vagina. With the approach of menopause, the cells lining the vagina will not contain as much estrogen.
It helps if you keep track of your periods and chart them as they become irregular. Your menstrual pattern will be an added clue to your doctor about whether you are pre- or perimenopausal.
What Long-Term Health Problems Are Associated With Menopause?
The loss of estrogen associated with menopause has been linked to a number of health problems that become more common as women age.
After menopause, women are more likely to suffer from:
- Osteoporosis
- Heart disease
- Poor bladder and bowel function
- Poor brain function (increased risk of Alzheimer's disease)
- Poor skin elasticity (increased wrinkling)
- Poor muscle power and tone
- Some deterioration in vision, such as from cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye) and macular degeneration (breakdown of the tiny spot in the center of the retina that is the center of vision)
There are a number of treatments to consider that can help reduce risks that are associated with these conditions.

Division of Teacher Education
Dominican College
Casey Hall

Orangeburg, NY 10962
Program Description:The forty-two credit Childhood Education Certification Program leads to eligibility for certification in grades 1 through 6 in New York State. Many Dominican Childhood Education graduates also seek and secure teaching positions in other states. In the past two years, 100 percent of our certified teacher education graduates who actively sought positions have secured employment in teaching. All programs in Teacher Education are accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (T.E.A.C.) and adhere to the quality principles of this certification body.
The capstone experience is a sixteen week student teaching placement, eight weeks in grades 1-3 and eight weeks in grades 4-6. Personal requests for student teaching placement may be presented when application for student teaching is made the semester before proposed ED 472 is to be taken; however, final selection of placement sites remains with the Division.

I think a second PhD opinion outside of the VA system is your best bet. The VA is a notorious pill dispenser, I know watching my dad how many "hopeless" conditions he has that the VA refuses to treat and simply medicate.
That said, I think the VA is reflective of the military way-quick fix and back to work. I think it makes vets like my dad more comfortable than lengthy discussions of possible outcomes. My dad has hydro bottles stacked like legos in his medicine drawer (thank god I'm allergic )

Well more fun from the VA. My RSD, and now Diabetic Pain Syndrome in my feet is getting worse, the pain is sometimes all consuming. Now I have two pharmacists with different ideas. The VA can not repair my implanted neuro-stim due to my A1C being too high for surgery, so no pain relief there, been 'off' since Nov 2011, and they, the VA pharmacists keep trying to give me Hydrocodone or Oxycodone. Now my oldest daughter who is also a pharmacist for Rite-Aid in NY is all upset that the VA is giving me 10/650 Hydrocodone seeing that the carrier is basically Tylenol. She states that Jack and Coke for pain will do less damage to my liver than the 10/650 hydro's, so drink up there Dad.
So here is the dilemma, who do I go with the VA, or Daughter, and my answer is who yells at me more....Daughter...so I go with here 'recommendation' so I don't get yelled at as much. I got bottles of hydro that I return to the VA, and my primary care Doc thinks I am 'fighting' the system which I am. Saw the elephant once before, don't care to go that route again.
This getting old 'inhales deeply' and is going to get worse, but I will soldier on.

Laura knew she wanted to be a meteorologist when at 12, right around the time Hurricane Andrew delayed her first day of sixth grade at St. Paul's Episcopal. She was glued to the TV watching the radar and doing fake weathercasts for her family and anyone else who'd listen.
Born and raised in Metairie, Laura attended Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi, earning a degree in broadcast meteorology in Dec. 2003. While she was there, Laura said she presented weathercasts for the local television studio.
Laura interned at WWL during the summer of her senior year at MSU, spending the afternoons forecasting with WWL-TV Chief Meteorologist Carl Arredondo.
"It was a great learning experience, and made me even more excited to begin my career," she said.
Laura's first on-air job put her in the role of weekend meteorologist for KOLR 10 in Springfield, Missouri, where she witnessed many stretches of bad weather, firsthand.
"One night that stands out in my mind, we had a tornado track across the entire viewing area, and we had continuous coverage for eight hours" she said.
She moved back to New Orleans just five days before Hurricane Katrina, but quickly evacuated to Tupelo, Mississippi for eight months.
In December 2005, WWL asked Laura to work in the Channel 4 Weather Center for a week while the meteorology staff got a much needed break. Not long after that, Laura returned to the city for good and now serves as the morning meteorologist for the Eyewitness Morning News.
When she's not tracking high and low pressure systems moving across Louisiana, Laura likes to travel with her husband and pet schnauzer, watch the MSU Bulldogs football team, and loves dining out at new restaurants.

Ryan Getzlaf signs 8-year, $66M deal in Anaheim; Is Corey Perry next?
By Allan Muir
Anaheim Ducks GM Bob Murray crossed one item off his to-do list today by signing team captain Ryan Getzlaf to an eight-year extension worth $66 million.
That's a significant commitment from the Ducks. The eight-year term is the max allowable under the new CBA and the annual cap of $8.25 million ties him for the fourth highest in the league, trailing just Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby. That's pretty thin air for a player that put up career-low numbers last season and ranked among the year's biggest underachievers.
But Getzlaf has been among the most impactful players so far in 2013. His 27 points puts him among the league's top-10 scorers and he's been a consistent force for a Ducks team that has to be recognized among the few legitimate contenders for the Cup.
There'll still be plenty of voices suggesting this is an overpayment, but this feels like a case of a team paying to hold onto one of the best players in franchise history, and fearing the alternatives if they don't.
Yeah, $8.25 million is a chunky hit, especially with the cap going down next season to $64.3 million, but big, proven No. 1 centers like Getzlaf are hard to come by. If he'd gone to market as a UFA this summer, another team would have put up at least that much…and the Ducks would have had to settle for an inferior replacement. This was a much smarter option.
Now that Getzlaf is signed, Murray has one more decision to make: what to do about 2011 MVP and Rocket Richard winner Corey Perry.
Perry, like Getzlaf, is in the last year of a deal that is paying him $5.25 million. With Getzlaf off the market, he looks to be the premier UFA this summer. That's a nice position for any player to be in.
The smart money says the Ducks are willing to give Perry a similar deal to Getzlaf's. It's a lot to commit to two players–just over 25 percent of the total cap–but they have the room to make it work, especially if young prospects like Emerson Etem, Peter Holland and Hampus Lindholm are ready to step in and replace more expensive veterans next season.
But does Perry want to stay? And is he willing to accept a twinsie deal when he's had greater individual success than Getzlaf?
"Getzy and I have talked a bunch of times," Perry told the Orange County Register. "I'm not going to sit here and say yes or no [about being willing to sign a similar extension]. It's one of those things where I'll wait and see what happens. I'm not going to change my answer just because he signed."
But he did admit that knowing Getzlaf was on board was important. "When you know he's going to be here for a long time, it could definitely have a factor in my decision."
Perry wouldn't be a bad guy for wanting to test the market. But if he does, it puts Murray in a tough spot. Can he afford to trade him with the Ducks set up to make a deep postseason run? That would be a gutsy call, but can he afford to risk losing Perry for nothing over the summer?
You know the answer to that one.
And what about Bobby Ryan? The winger has been on and off the trade market for the past 18 months, and the Ducks may decide that the $5.1 million he's due for the next two seasons might be better spent elsewhere if Perry and Getzlaf both are going to be signed. You have to think that Ryan would also draw a premium on the market over a rental like Perry given that he's signed for the next two seasons. Moving him might be a precursor to committing to Perry.
Murray deserves to take a victory lap after settling up with Getzlaf, but he shouldn't tire himself out. He still has work to do yet.

For Chuck DeHaan drawing and painting came as a gift. As soon as he found out pencils left tracks…horses were the subject, and western art the base. The drawing of Fred Harman's Red Ryder amazed Chuck awakening the need inside to express himself. Will James forced him up another step.
Never having the opportunity for formal art training, Chuck worked at it the only way he could. He starts with an under paining of many grays, building up from there with many glazes. To him, the success of any artist comes from the viewers. Chuck worked with many publishers and won many awards, but it's still the viewers that put the final stamp of approval on any artist's work.

Homicide detective prevents likely homicide
Ebaugh got into his car and rolled down all of the windows to follow the noise. As he approached the corner of Allendale Drive and Barlowe Road, he heard what he describes as metal hitting an object. Moments later, he witnessed the suspect strike a nearly lifeless man with a shovel to the head.
With no time to call for backup, Ebaugh drew his handgun and ordered the suspect to stop, just as the suspect was poised to hit the victim once again. The suspect complied with the detective's orders and surrendered. Ebaugh called for backup and for emergency help for the victim.
The victim remained in the hospital as of Monday afternoon.
The 48 year-old suspect, David Eugene Hamilton, of Palmer Park, is charged with first-degree assault.
Ebaugh is an eight-year veteran of the Police Department.
Police seek bank robbery suspect
The preliminary investigation reveals the suspect walked into the bank at approximately 12:30 p.m. Saturday. He passed a note to a teller implying he had a weapon and demanded cash. The teller complied. The suspect left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money. No one was hurt during the robbery.
Anyone with information on this case is urged to call PGPD Robbery Unit at 301-772-4905. Callers can remain anonymous by calling Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477) or text "PGPD" plus your message to CRIMES (274637) on your cell phone or go to www.pgpolice.org to submit a tip online. A cash reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and indictment in this case.

One part of Alabama's new law regarding illegal immigrants has federal officials especially upset. It requires schools to report to the state numbers - but not names - of students whose immigration status is in question.
That prompted the Justice Department to get a federal court order prohibiting the reports. Federal law bans denying public education to anyone based on immigration status.
Again, however, Alabama isn't trying to do that. It has merely requested information, presumably to gauge the seriousness of the illegal immigration problem in the state.
But the Justice Department's campaign against Alabama has taken a new twist: Now, the federal agency is demanding Alabama school districts provide it with enrollment information about all students. The data is to include students' race, national origin and whether English is their primary language.
As an Alabama legislator put it, "They are asking for the same student information we tried to get."
Well, not exactly. The Justice Department also wants the names of students who have withdrawn from school.
Illegal immigrants in Alabama are far more likely to be scared by the federal initiative than by the state's action.
But that is merely one more example of President Barack Obama's penchant for bullying state governments solely to demonstrate Washington's power.

Eggnog is notoriously known as "THE" Christmas drink, but I had no idea what it was really made from. So after a bit of research and asking around I learned the real ingredients in Egg Nogg.It is dairy-based, traditionally made with milk and/or cream, sugar, vanilla, and whipped eggs, the eggs are what give it a frothy texture. Also in the mix can be brandy, rum, whisky, bourbon, Kahlua, vodka, or any combination you want! And to top it all off, a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg is sprinkled on top to give it that beautiful look! This tradition dates way back into the 18th century!This popular holiday drink is enjoyed many different ways. Many people have their own tradition when it comes to eggnog. Some enjoy it warm, others cold and some baked into holiday treats. I know my family likes to sip theirs warm, by the fireplace on Christmas Eve. This drink is meant to be enjoyed with loved ones getting cozy by the fire. With this recipe for eggnog, you get a bit of chocolate to spice up that traditional taste! Now this drink can be heavy on the calories, but you can cut fat and calories by swapping traditional full fat eggnog with a skim or reduced fat brand. This way you can indulge and not feel guilty during the holidays! Calories (per serving): 385, Fat 19 grams, Sodium 209 mg, Carbs 46 grams, Fiber 0.9 grams, Sugars 37 grams, Protein 9.9 grams*cut fat and calories by swapping traditional full fat eggnog with a skim or reduced fat brand

Ingredients1 litre eggnog (full fat or skim) 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 18 (3 ounces) Milk Chocolate Hershey's Kisses, chopped 2 teaspoons malt powder 2 cinnamon sticks 1/4 cup Crème de Cocoa (optional) 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions1. In a medium saucepan bring the eggnog up to a simmer; don't let it boil. 2. Add the cocoa powder, Kisses, malt powder, cinnamon sticks and salt; stir to combine. Simmer for 15 minutes until the chocolate is completely melted and the eggnog has thickened slightly.3. Remove from the heat and stir in Crème de Cocoa (if using). Let the eggnog cool for 5-10 minutes. Ladle into glasses or mugs and enjoy warm.

Domestic Goddess, Esquire
"Why are mother lawyers so unhappy? Why do they leave the profession? Do they really 'want' to leave, or do they feel pushed out? Are they happy once they do leave? Do they hope to return to the profession? What will it take for them to return? What, if anything, would have prevented them from leaving in the first place? How have those who do 'opt out' been able to afford that decision – especially in light of their often crushing student loans? This blawg will examine these questions, and hopes to become a gathering spot for all mother-lawyers."

Only a small percentage of cancers involve inherited mutations that are passed from generation to generation. The majority of cancers can be attributed to acquired mutations. "Acquired" means that the mutations occur only in the tissue that is affected by cancer and that the changes are not present in all cells of the body. Acquired mutations are not inherited and are not passed down to our children.
Listed below are several genetic syndromes associated with an increased risk for ovarian cancer that require clinical care by a physician or other health care professional.

StratEgery Articles
Articles and photos related to celebrity strategy, politics, and media manipulation. The term "StratEgery" is not a LaineyGossip original. Look up Will Ferrell doing George Bush to understand.
Marvel's favourite son
JD/ Splash
In the year 2004… Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp were supposed to be the sh-t. Ten years later, Brad Pitt has an Oscar, so does Matthew McConaughey, and Robert Downey Jr owns the box office. In other words, nobody knows anything, ever. Here's RDJ in Malibu yesterday with his lunch box of vitamins, looking pretty fit as he gets ready to start working on Avengers 2, if he hasn't already. Full Story
The Art of Douchebag Dressing
This week, Lainey wrote about celebrities being paid to dress like assholes (click here for a refresher), otherwise known as Coachella. It's a mess – flower crowns, fringe boots (because why wouldn't you wear suede boots in the desert?), floppy velvet hats - and I guess getting high and riding the Ferris wheel calls for a certain esthetic. Full Story
Gaga like Beyonce
Theo Wargo/ Getty
Lady Gaga performed at the Roseland Ballroom last night. It was the last of 7 sold out shows and the final show ever before the historic venue closes down. Gaga is a New York City girl. No doubt it meant a lot to her to have this opportunity. In other Gaga news… Page Six Full Story
Rachel & Daniel's night out
Wenn, Gilbert Carrasquillo/ Splash
We don't see these two very often. They spend time in New York but they don't wave themselves in front of the paps so when they do step out, it's like a gift. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig were at the Night of Opportunity gala in NYC last night. The organisation helps low income high performance students access educational opportunities that might otherwise not be available. Full Story
Distraction from the bridge
Zac Efron was front and centre at the Laker game the other night. And he had a girl with him. So that's what we're talking about now. We're not supposed to talk about how he randomly showed up under a Los Angeles bridge and got his ass beat by some vagrants in a shady part of town known for drugs and gangs. Full Story
The Belly-Cupper party
Wenn, Charley Gallay/ Michael Buckner/ Getty
Jennifer Love Hewitt has a line of maternity clothes now. You know, my colleague on The Social, Melissa Grelo, was pregnant through the entire first run of our show and she wore regular clothing the entire time. Same thing with Cynthia Loyst. And so many of the other women I hear from. The only "maternity" item they bought were the jeans with the elastic waistbands which, frankly, I plan on investing in even though I will never get pregnant because that just seems like a really good f-cking idea. Full Story
Nicole Richie Back to Reality (TV)
When Nicole Richie's AOL webseries #CandidlyNicole came out, I was all for it (see here and here for a refresher). At the time, I wrote that all the things that she's done in her career - bratty socialite, BFF of Ebola Hilton, fashion designer - are things we (and by "we" I mean those of us who like our celebrities with a bit more cache) frown upon. Full Story
Chris Evans Take Back Tour of 2014
Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes out on Friday. This is your daily reminder that it's really good (it's tied with Iron Man for the highest-rated Marvel movie yet). Since it's the last week of publicity, we have a lot of new appearances from Chris Evans as he shills hard in the last days before the box office is open for business. Full Story
Has Posh given up?
Vladimir Labissiere/ Splash
Victoria Beckham and her children arrived in LA this weekend. Cruz walked with his mother. Big brother Brooklyn held H7 in his arms. H7 had her hair down. Her hair was down! Has Posh given up? It was a joke, sort of, when I wrote a few weeks ago that Posh was tying H7's hair up all the time to save it for a big reveal…like the cover of American VOGUE, edited by Anna Wintour, who went with Kanye West and his fiancée instead. Full Story
More bold lip and better reviews
Wenn, Eddie Mejia/ Splash
I love everything about Emma Watson's look at Letterman yesterday. All of it. Even the slingback and I'm not normally feeling a slingback. But the suit is beautifully tailored. And the pant length is amazing. And I'm never going to complain about a crisp white shirt. You'll note, Emma continues to work the bold lip. Full Story
Rebranding Gwyneth Paltrow
I love Duana. Duana texted me in a rage last night about Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's separation announcement. Specifically this: "We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. Full Story
Chris Evans is retir—wait what was that? About money?
Chris Evans has a fancy Variety profile in advance of Captain America: The Winter Soldier opening in the US next week (have I mentioned today that it's really good?). The headline is that he's going to leave acting and pursue directing, full-time, once his Marvel contract is done (he has three pictures remaining on his deal). Full Story
Johnny Depp's engagement tour
Fame, KCS Presse/ Splash
You remember when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were engaged and it happened to be when he was promoting some movie and it became like their engagement tour? Why am I getting the same vibe from Johnny Depp? Is Johnny Depp as cheesy as Tom Cruise? Depp and his fiancée were in New York the other day. Full Story
Maybe it was for award season
The last we heard of Kate Hudson, she and Matt Bellamy were having problems in their relationship. She hadn't been wearing her ring. And even PEOPLE was reporting that she and Bellamy were estranged. If PEOPLE was willing to go there, it had to have been subtly sanctioned. Full Story

1 G, 3 A, + 2, 2 PIMs, 0 PPP, 13 SOG
David Backes
1 G, 1 A, -1, 4 PIMs, 1 PPP. 5 SOG
Only two misfires - operating better than Dobber's famous 52% rate!
Who's Hot
Alex Burrows & Ryan Kesler – Both players had huge weeks and should see the trend continue this week with four games on their plate. Three of the four teams (Dallas, Colorado, and St. Louis) rank amongst the bottom half of the NHL in goals against average, which should bode well for the Vancouver duo. The Canucks are also only three points back from the division-leading Flames, which should provide more incentive for the Canucks to "go after it" this week. At 52% and 33% owned in Yahoo pools respectively, both members should be widely available in most leagues this week.
J.P. Dumont– Dumont certainly had a bit of a hot streak as he's tallied four goals along with 13 assists and 43 SOG this past month. During his recent five game point-scoring streak, he has picked up seven points, 19 SOG all while averaging 17:02 in ice-time. His stats are intriguing because the Preds are missing their number one center in Jason Arnott with post-concussion symptoms. Nashville is also clinging onto the eighth spot in the Western Conference which gives them plenty to play for in this four-game week. At 66% Yahoo-owned he might be a bit harder to scoop up off the waiver wire, but hey you never know…
Sam Gagner– Gagner started this season with a massive sophomore slump while tallying only 20 points in his first 56 games, but has salvaged this season with his solid play during the past month. Gagner has eight goals and six assists along with 28 SOG in the month of March (10 contests) and was on a six-game point-scoring streak before having that streak snapped in Sunday night's shut out loss to the Wild. He seems to have found a perfect fit playing alongside Ales Kotalik and Robert Nilsson on the Oilers' second line. What's impressive is that he's not logging a lot of ice-time. In the past 10 contests he's only averaging 16:08, which isn't a ton by fantasy standards. The Oilers also play four times this week, which should give plenty of opportunity for Gagner to pick up some points this week. At 24% Yahoo-owned he's a steal for this week.
Joel Ward – Ward is fitting in nicely on the Pred's second line alongside Vernon Fiddler and J.P. Dumont. Ward picked up five points this past week, while firing 11 SOG. He's averaging 18:37 in ice-time in the past six contests and gaining plenty of confidence since joining the Predators top-six. With the Preds fighting for a playoff spot, while having four games this week, it's a perfect time to add Ward to your fantasy squad. Ward should be easily attainable while being only 2% Yahoo-owned.
Scottie Upshall - Upshall is enjoying quite the change of scenery as he seems to be blossoming in his new home in Phoenix. Since joining Phoenix at the trade deadline, Upshall has picked up seven points while firing 30 SOG and tacking on 16 PIMs during that span. Those are the types of numbers that should prove to be very beneficial in many fantasy leagues. In the last five contests, he's also averaging 18:43 in ice-time which shows that coach Wayne Gretzky has plenty of confidence in the former 6th overall pick in the 2002 NHL entry draft. With nothing much to play for this season, look for the 5% owned Upshall to get plenty of ice-time for the remainder of this season.
Cam Barker – Barker has had a huge month while tallying 12 points, 10 PIMs, and 28 SOG in the process. Barker was on an eight-game point-scoring streak before missing Sunday night's contest against the Kings with a lower-body injury. He's also picked up three minutes or more in power-play time in seven of the past nine contests while quickly becoming an integral part of the Hawks' power-play unit. At 41% Yahoo-owned he should be widely available in many fantasy pools. Definitely add him to your roster if he's available on your waiver wire. CAUTION: Barker is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Who's Not
Paul Stastny –Stastny has struggled immensely this past month since returning from his forearm injury. He's only registered five points and 28 SOG in 11 games. The Avs don't have much to play for in the remaining games of this season, so don't look for a huge production from Stastny this week, especially when they face the Canucks sandwiched by the Ducks on this week's schedule.
Brad Richards – He returned from a wrist injury that sidelined him for 15 games only to break his opposite hand in the third period in Saturday night's loss to the Sharks. The injury will most likely sideline him for the remainder of this season, which means he's pretty much droppable in one-year leagues. You should be able to replace him with Gagner, which will pretty much fill in the exact same missing stats.
Dustin Brown – Brown's not on a terrible slump, but with the Kings needing wins badly to get them into a playoff spot, they'll certainly expect more production from their captain. Brown only has five points in 11 March contests, but has fired 33 SOG during that span. The Kings face St. Louis, Dallas and Nashville this week, which all could potentially have hot goalies on the rise. Brown isn't an immediate drop, but if a Dumont, Burrows or Backes is available I'd probably take them over Brown for this week.
Alex Frolov – Frolov was one of the top streakiest players to own in fantasy leagues if you read Dobber's column a few weeks back. When he's hot, he's really hot, and when he's cold, he's extremely ice-cold. He's on one of the cold streaks since being booted off the Kings' top-line of Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown, which is why he's point-less this past week while firing only four SOG in three games. He also collected a minus four rating, which won't be doing your fantasy squad any favors. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the headache and drop Frolov for this week. *Update - he is injured and out for a week, per the ramblings.
Jonathan Cheechoo – A lot of people have been waiting for the Cheechoo-train, but it doesn't look like it's going to arrive this season. Despite averaging 18:44 in ice-time in the previous three games before Sunday's contest, Cheechoo tallied only two points and 10 SOG. If you ask me, give up on the Cheechoo-train and pick up someone who won't cause you to tear your hair out during the playoffs.
Jason Arnott – As mentioned earlier, Arnott has been sidelined with post-concussion symptoms and according to the news reports from Nashville, it looks like he won't be anywhere close to returning to the Preds' lineup in the near future. He does not have IR eligibility, which means he'll just be chewing up a roster spot this entire week, while not helping out your fantasy team at all. He's a great fantasy own over the course of the year, but you won't miss his production for the rest of this year even if he comes back early.
With head-to-head playoff hockey pools being as tight as they are, a single point here, a PIM there, and a SOG possibly could make or break your fantasy season. That's why it is essential to take advantage of the players that you have at your disposal, and cut loose any of the dead weight that is dragging your fantasy squad down. After all this is your last opportunity to claim the crown even though you might not have had a great regular season. It's not about emotions, but purely based on stats from here on in. Good luck! See ya next week, if you are still alive in your pools.
