It's hard to get excited about a '67c-per-week-budget'. Feel free to use your eventual tax-cut as a down-payment on one of these T-shirts.
Business is getting $1.42 billion of tax-cuts. Good. But it's partially paid for by the $720 million Carbon Tax. Bullshit.
The country's top 500 students are offered an Anderton-backed scholarship offer of $3,000 if they promise to stay in Godzone for three years, although how the NCEA system would know which these 500 are is anyone's guess. But in any case why tie bright graduates to New Zealand when they can go offshore and get a good 'post-graduate OE'? And is $3,000 going to induce anyone to give up a more lucrative offshore income? I think not. The way to get back our best and brightest once they've done their OE is not cheap bribes, but surely to ensure this country is wealthy, vibrant and the opposite of a sorry, welfare-ridden Nanny State. No chance of that under this Government.
There is more money for a police force still unable to deal with its case load. Good. Only $73.6 million more. Hmmm. For 100 more policemen. That's it? I hope they won't be put straight on to traffic duties and revenue-collecting. A good way to effectively double the police would have been to announce the immediate legalisation of cannabis, effectively doubling police numbers to deal with real crime and at the same time knobbling the profits of organised crime. Not going to happen any time soon, is it?
There's more for roads. Good. $700 million more. Pathetic. Enough for just 7km of new road. "Glacial" is how infrastructure advocates accurately describe the pace of NZ's roading improvements. No change here. No word of RMA improvements to help new roads be built, or of allowing private investment in roading. No surprise at all.

This month marks 10 years of international intervention in Afghanistan. Liberating its women was one of the justifications given for the US led NATO intervention in the country and toppling the Taliban – a regime that made female education illegal and forbade women to hold jobs or even to leave the house without a male family member.
A Kirk leader has repeated the Church of Scotland's General Assembly call for the government to bring the troops home from Afghanistan.
Faith leaders in Zambia are calling for unity and peace as the southern African nation awaits the outcome of the presidential election on 20 September.
Professor Jolyon Mitchell focused on the biblical and practical theme of 'swords into ploughshares' for his inaugural lecture in taking up a new personal chair at the University of Edinburgh on 15 September 2011.
Over the past ten years we have witnessed the birth of the neologism '9/11' and the horrid and inaccurate phrase 'global war on terror'. Some of what happened in those ten intervening years is now history, says Harry Hagopian. But much of it continues to resonate across the globe, calling us to a change of outlook and action. Revolutions and popular revolts across the Middle East and North Africa region vindicate the standpoint that real changes should come from within and do not necessarily get imposed militarily upon a whole people anymore.
In answer to that question, Edwin Starr responded "absolutely nothing." But others say that it protects our freedom and way of life from those who would destroy it.
The visit to Britain of Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, from the Cordoba Initiative in New York, resonates not just with our reflections on the impending tenth anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, but with the continuing quest for interreligious understanding in a conflictual world, says Professor Hugh Goddard.
The Patriarch of the Georgian Orthodox Church has called on his Russian counterpart to reconcile, after a war between the two countries in 2008.
A group of 40 religious leaders in the United States have called for President Barck Obama to "bring the war in Afghanistan to an end."
Whatever happens in Libya in the coming weeks, the dichotomy in western policy between armed intervention in one situation and lack of an adequate response elsewhere will continue, casting a shadow over humanitarian claims and undermining other proclaimed purposes, says Professor Paul Rogers. The damage and the lost opportunities produced will be measured for years to come. The west's military-political strategy prolongs the war in Libya and gives space to authoritarian regimes elsewhere in the region.

Congressman on Armed Services Committee Not Allowed on Base Housing Illegal Aliens
What is going on at the military bases Obama is using to temporarily house his largely underage army of illegal alien colonists until they can be disseminated throughout the country along with the exotic diseases they carry? Media access has been curtailed. Doctors and nurses who work in them have been threatened with arrest for talking to the public. A Congressman who is on the Armed Services Committee and therefore has oversight authority over military bases, particularly bases in his own state, attempted to get a look inside. He was rebuffed:
Congressman Jim Bridenstine (OK) was denied access [Tuesday] to the HHS facility at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma currently housing up to 1,200 unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who illegally crossed the southern border into the United States. …
The Health and Human Services (HHS) official who appears to be in charge of the facility told Congressman Bridenstine he could schedule an appointment for July 21. HHS Deputy Director of the Office of Public Affairs, Ken Wolfe, would not take the Congressman's phone call.
Rep Bridenstine asks the obvious question:
"What are they trying to hide?"
A Congressman getting blocked from entering a military base begs an even better question: As the ongoing constitutional crisis unfolds, who will the military take orders from, Obama or Congress? We already know why Obama has been purging the officer corps so as to replace it with loyal political toadies.

COLUMBUS — Opponents of controversial collective bargaining reform signed into law recently by Gov. John Kasich are literally waiting for the ink to dry on petitions so they can begin collecting signatures to place the issue on the November ballot.
Dennis Willard, spokesman for We Are Ohio, one of the groups involved in the drive, told reporters Monday that 100,000 petition booklets are being printed and checked to ensure there were no ink splotches before sending them to 10,000-plus volunteers who will circulate them throughout the state.
Senate Bill 5 opponents could begin adding their signatures to the booklets as soon as Friday.
"Our goal is to get between 460,000 and half a million signatures," Willard said.
For the complete story, read Tuesday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
Eager to sign!
Please don't ask me to sign it. Because my answer will be NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where do I sign?
Redeye: Don't be a "kitty". sign it. It's gonna happen!!
No signage for me. SB5 is good for Ohio and the public employees who want to continue their plush pay, cadillac healthcare, and golden pension plans on my ever increasing tax dollar know where they can go - straight there!
Somehow the message isn't getting to the little people who pay taxes that anyone working for the government is special . They deserve to keep their status quo while the little people take a pounding from the economy and their tax load . Austerity will help them to shoulder a bit more in taxation to keep the special ones from sinking to this level .

"Why am I here?" she asked for the fifth time in as many hours. The tone of her voice was at once plaintive and a bit belligerent. "Why am I here?" she repeated, as if I had not answered fast enough. I looked up from the book I was reading. "You are here in the hospital because you got pneumonia and were very sick," I answered, just as I had each of the other times. "Oh, that's right," she mumbled and went back to watching Wheel of Fortune . . . unequivocally her favorite pastime.

Recently, I was assigned the task of converting an in-house application to a service. Little did I realize that the original developer was fond of goto's and variable obscurity.
Submitted for your perusal:Doesn't this piece of code, this veritable work of art, just make you say, "Now there is a developer that truly understand's his/her tools. I mean, it's just a model of efficiency. It is so elegant; simple and easy to understand."Code:Public Function FixImagePaths(ByVal tc As String) As String Dim imgStr As String = "" Dim srcStr As String = "" Dim imgPre As String = "" Dim fName As String = "" Dim pre As String = "" Dim post As String = "" Dim m As Integer = 0 Dim k As Integer = 0 Dim i As Integer = InStr(tc, "<BASE href=") If i < 1 Then Return tc Dim j As Integer = InStr(i, tc, ">") If j < i Then Return tc Dim base As String = Mid(tc, i + 12, j - (i + 12)) base = Trim(Replace(base, Chr(34), "")) LoopThru: 'use j as new starting point each time i = InStr(j, tc, "<IMG") If i < j Then GoTo CleanUp k = InStr(i, tc, ">") pre = Mid(tc, 1, i - 1) post = Mid(tc, k) 'was k +1 imgStr = Mid(tc, i, k - i) imgStr = Replace(imgStr, "%20", " ") i = InStr(imgStr, "src=") If i < 1 Then GoTo LoopThru If InStr(imgStr, "http://") > 0 Then GoTo LoopThru 'leave internet url's alone j = InStr(i + 5, imgStr, Chr(34)) imgPre = Mid(imgStr, 1, i + 4) srcStr = Mid(imgStr, i + 5, j - (i + 5)) srcStr = Replace(srcStr, "\", "/") m = InStrRev(srcStr, "/") fName = Mid(srcStr, m + 1) tc = pre & imgPre & base & fName & Chr(34) & post j = k + 1 GoTo LoopThru CleanUp: Return tc End Function
No? You don't want to say that? So, I am not the only one that thinks this quite possibly one of the worst pieces of code I have ever laid eyes on...
So what is wrong with this code? Well, the developer has decided that the standard looping mechanisms within the language just are not good enough. They have decided that using a For( ; ; ) or For Each or While...Loop or even a Do...Loop, just are not good enough. Nope, let's use goto's. Not only that but we will use the most obscure names for our variables (a single char); lovely.
And think of the joy I expressed when I found that his application was littered with such gems. Oh, boy, I was overjoyed.
Well as it turns out, I ended up basically rewriting a good portion [translated as most] of the code within this application. Some portions I had to leave as is because the method to their madness eluded me.
Ultimately my point is this, before writing anything:
1. Understand the basic concepts of the language.
2. Understand fully what it is your function is trying to accomplish.
3. If your code requires documentation to help you keep track of what it is doing, then you have done something wrong.
4. If your variables are obscure, you are bound to make a mistake (we have 5. integers, all using just one character, which one is my loop controller? i? j?)
That all being said, here is my rewrite of the function in question:-sage-Code:Friend Function FixImagePaths(ByVal Code As String) As String If String.IsNullOrEmpty(Code) Then Return String.Empty If Code.IndexOf("<BASE href=") = -1 Then Return Code If Code.IndexOf(">", Code.IndexOf("<BASE href=")) = -1 Then Return Code Dim base As String = Code.Substring(Code.IndexOf("<BASE href="), Code.IndexOf(">", Code.IndexOf("<BASE href=")) - Code.IndexOf("<BASE href=")).Replace("<BASE href=", "").Replace(Chr(34), "") Dim index = Code.IndexOf("<IMG") Dim preTag As String = String.Empty Dim postTag As String = String.Empty Dim imageTag As String = String.Empty Dim fileName As String = String.Empty While (index <> -1) If Code.IndexOf(">", index) <> -1 Then preTag = Code.Substring(0, index) postTag = Code.Substring(Code.IndexOf(">", index)) imageTag = Code.Substring(index, Code.IndexOf(">", index) - index).Replace("%20", Chr(32)) If imageTag.IndexOf("src=") <> -1 AndAlso Not imageTag.Contains("http://") Then fileName = imageTag.Substring(imageTag.IndexOf("src=")).Replace("src=", "").Replace("\", "/").Replace(Chr(34), "") fileName = fileName.Substring(If(fileName.LastIndexOf("/") <> -1, fileName.LastIndexOf("/"), 0)) imageTag = imageTag.Substring(0, imageTag.IndexOf("src=") + (imageTag.IndexOf("=", imageTag.IndexOf("src=")) - imageTag.IndexOf("src=") + 1)) Code = String.Format("{0}{1}""{2}{3}""{4}", preTag, imageTag, base, fileName, postTag) End If End If index = Code.IndexOf("<IMG", index + 1) End While Return Code End Function

Early in his career, Marvel Comics' Spider-Man found out that his actions can have dire consequences when he discovered that the burglar who murdered his beloved Uncle Ben was the same burglar he had allowed to escape earlier in the evening. Now, Spidey's world is populated by a very large supporting cast, so everything the webslinger does has the potential to affect a lot of people he cares about. In the coming months in âWeb of Spider-Man,â writer Fred Van Lente and artist Javier Rodriguez will examine Spidey's choices and the ripple effect they have on his large supporting cast. CBR News spoke with Van Lente about the series and the new direction he's taking it in.
For the past several months, âThe Gauntletâ, a series of interconnected stories featuring the return of Spider-Man's classic foes, has been running through the pages of âAmazing Spider-Man.â In November, Van Lente began a series of stories in âWeb of Spider-Manâ that supplemented âThe Gauntlet,â done-in-one stories revealing untold tales from the early days of some of these Spider-Man's classic villains. The final issue of these âGauntlet Originsâ stories focuses on Kraven the Hunter and appears in âWeb of Spider-Manâ #7, which hits stores April 14th.
âIt's a story set during Kraven's early years and it's actually more of an origin story of Sasha Kraven,â Van Lente told CBR News. âShe's Kraven's paramore and the apparent mastermind behind 'The Gauntlet.' She's definitely a major source of all the problems Spider-Man has been having recently with his classic villains.â
In âWeb of Spider-Manâ #8, on sale May 12th, Van Lente kicks off a new direction for the series that finds him moving the spotlight back on to Spider-Man. The series will have more of an ensemble feel though because the writer plans on paying quite a bit of attention to Peter Parker's supporting cast, as well.
âPeter Parker is definitely front and center in this one. He is still unemployed, and he can't really find work as a photographer any more because he was unfortunately disgraced due to his own actions; a typical Parker-esque mishap. So 'Web of Spider-Man' is definitely going to be looking at a lot of that aspect, as he struggles to find out what the next phase of his life is,â Van Lente said. âWhat's exciting though is that this book is called 'Web of Spider-Man,' so we can show how Peter's actions affect multiple members of his supporting cast, such as Flash Thompson, Betty Brant, Michelle Gonzales, J. Jonah Jameson, everybody. I think Peter is blessed with one of the best supporting casts in all of comics. And they're all caught within Spider-Man's web! HA! HA! HA-HA! Hence the title. So that's definitely the theme that I really want to explore.â
âWebâ #8 also kicks off the series' first multi-part tale, which is titled âThe Extremistâ and begins at the dawn of the Marvel Universe's new âHeroic Age.â âAs the 'Heroic Age' begins, a new vigilante appears in New York City called the Extremist and he is whacking people who say bad things about superheroes. He's doing so in a rather spectacular manner, which I can't get into right now, but will be quite obvious once you see the preview pages. And because the Extremist is killing critics of Spider-Man, Peter feels obligated to help out. And since he's unemployed and has such a connection with Spider-Man as Peter Parker, he starts trashing Spider-Man himself in order to lure the Extremist out into a trap. BUT WHO IS THE ONE REALLY BEING TRAPPED? Read 'Web of Spider-Man' to find out.â
Van Lente sees the Extremist as a Marvel Universe version of the classic note-sending type of serial killers, like the Zodiac Killer. âThere is an important connection between the Extremist and the X-Men, which is explored in 'Web of Spider-Man' #9. It won't be what you're expecting, though,â Van Lente said. âAnd he's definitely someone who's sort of disrupted the entire superhero community by basically being a really violent spokesperson for them in a way that you really, really wouldn't want to happen, especially not at the beginning of this new 'Heroic Age.'â
The inspiration for the Extremist, both the character and the storyline, came from Van Lente and artist Ryan Dunlavey's independent comic series âAction Philosophers." âOne of the philosophers we profiled in that series way Ayn Rand, the founder of Objectivism. So I was reading 'The Virtue of Selfishness' and her other philosophical works and started wondering what would happen if you took a character who took some of her ideas to the extreme and pitted him against Spidey? And that's where a lot of this story is coming from,â Van Lente explained. âWe're contrasting these two characters. What makes a guy like the Extremist different from a guy like Spider-Man? What's the dividing line between a vigilante, someone who thinks they're out doing what's right, and someone who is convinced their extreme sense of right and wrong is justifiable.â
The supporting cast of âThe Extremistâ arc will include Peter Parker's ex-girlfriend and confidante Mary Jane Watson as well as one of the primary targets on the Extremist's hit list. âWe all know who the biggest critic of superheroes in New York City is, Hizzoner J Jonah Jameson, the mayor,â Van Lente stated. âSo when you have a super powered assassin gunning for the mayor that's not good news for New York City.â
J. Jonah Jameson is best known for his anti superhuman zeal and his crankiness and that will definitely be part of âThe Extremist,â but Van Lente plans on showing some of the character's other aspects as well in the story. âJonah is probably my favorite over all Spider-Man character. He's only second to Spider-Man, although on some days I think maybe he is my favorite Spider-Man character. To me, Jonah is basically a good guy,â Van Lente said. âAnd I know everyone doesn't have the exact same outlook on this, but I sort of see J Jonah Jameson as kind of like Ahab, from 'Moby Dick'. He's basically a good, decent guy who has this one obsession sort of nagging in his brain and that is his total dislike, distrust, and pathological hatred for Spider-Man. I kind of love characters like that.
âAnother character that I see as being somewhat similar to J Jonah Jameson would be Doom. I think that the Marvel Universe would be speaking Latverian right now if Doom didn't hate Reed Richards so much. That's Doom's great Achilles Heel,â Van Lente continued. âHe can't process the fact that people think Richards is smarter than he is. So I see a lot of his schemes unraveling as a result of that. He really would be emperor of everything if he would just let the Reed Richards thing go.â
Van Lente is very pleased with the work that his âWeb of Spider-Manâ collaborator Javier Rodriguez has been doing for âThe Extremistâ story line. âReaders of 'Amazing Spider-Man' will already be familiar with Javier's work. He is the colorist extraordinaire who works with Marcos Martin and Javier Pulido on that book,â the writer said. âHe also drew a terrific J Jonah Jameson story in 'Web of Spider-Man' #2. This is his triumphant return as penciler and inker to Spider-Man.â
Currently âWeb of Spider-Manâ features a main story by Van Lente and additional stories by other creators. That will continue for the duration of âThe Extremistâ arc and beyond. â'Spider-Girl' is moving to her own title, but we will keep having the back up stories in 'Web',â Van Lente said. âAnd I believe I'm on the book for the foreseeable future. It's very exciting to have my own Spider-Man toy box to mess around in.â

Goldsign Jeans
Kate Hudson in Goldsign Crop Skinny Jeans in Gracie
Kate Hudson was photographed by the paparazzi while taking her two sons out to lunch. She wore a pair of Goldsign Crop skinny jeans in Gracie, with a pair of suede boots and a sweater.
Kate tends to favor the same washes and styles, as we usually see her in medium wash, mid-rise skinny jeans. I always love seeing her casual style but would love to see her wear some of the flared styles we saw her in years ago. Do you prefer Kate in flares or skinnies? You can buy Goldsign jeans online from Shopbop.com.
Reese Witherspoon in Goldsign Glam Skinny Jeans
Out after doing some more shopping, Reese Witherspoon looked to be in good spirits while heading back to her car. She wore a pair of Goldsign Glam skinny jeans in petal denim with a quilted jacket and green suede pumps.
It's been quite a while since we've seen Reese out in a pair of Goldsign; no matter which brand she's wearing, she seems to stick to a similar cut and fit, slim fit and slightly cropped at the ankle. I would love to see her try out a skinny boot cut/flare style, which I think would look great on her with a pair of heels.
Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi in Double Denim
Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi were seen having fun while shopping around West Hollywood, California. The couple played paparazzi for the day enjoyed their day out.
Portia wore her Goldsign jeans again, this time with a grey tank top and Ellen wore her favourite worn in straight leg jeans with a denim shirt. They both seem to love denim a lot, which is wonderful! How many of you love Ellen? Her show always cheers me up, I absolutely adore it!

Naomi Watts was seen out doing some shopping at the Farmers Market in Brentwood, California again. It looks like she picked up a whole bunch of flowers.
Naomi wore her Goldsign HisJeans Boyfriend Jeans in Ursula again, this time with a long sleeve tee and lace up flats. We don't often see female celebs out in neutral looking caps, only usually the embellished ones. What do you think of her look? Buy Goldsign online at Shopbop.com.

The intersection at Lionshead Avenue and Eagle Drive in Carlsbad will be closed for about four weeks starting Feb. 19, as construction crews installing pipeline for the Carlsbad desalination project work through the area.
According to a release from Poseidon Resources, the project developer, eastbound traffic restrictions will be extended in early March along Lionshead, with work progressing toward South Melrose Drive.
Scheduled for completion in 2016, the Carlsbad desalination project will provide the San Diego County Water Authority with 50 million gallons per day of desalinated seawater. The pipeline running from the plant through Vista and San Marcos will be used to transport water from the desalination site to the Water Authority's aqueduct in San Marcos.
By late March, Lionshead Avenue will reopen to two-way traffic between Eagle and Business Park drives, the release stated.

The isotherms of the hexagonal Laves phase materials Zr(FexAl1-x)2( ) were obtained experimentally in fields up to 72 kG and at a temperature 4.2 K. The resulting Arrott plots (M2versus H/M) show downturns from the linear behavior characteristic of weak itinerant ferromagnets in fields in the range H/M about 0.5-1.0 kG/emu/g. These deviations arise, at least in part, from magnetocrystalline anisotropy effects. The relevant anisotropy fields were measured directly using the singular point detection method and indirectly by using a theoretical analysis based on domain rotation effects. From the differences of the observed and calculated Arrott plots and from these anisotropy fields conclusions regarding other causes of the anomaly may be drawn.

As part of a collaboration with Port-au-Prince workshop Caribbean Craft, West Elm worked with artisans in Haiti to create these cheerful reindeer. Made from recycled materials.

WINDSOR, Ontario -- Some eight hours before game time, Warren Rychel was lacing up his skates in the coaches' tiny dressing room, his head down, his hands and voice shaky.
''I first knew about Mickey when he was an atom, 6 or 7 years old, and he'd put his skates up on the counter for my father to sharpen at the arena out in Tecumseh," he said. "I knew that Mickey touched a lot of people in the community but I had no idea until last week ... within a day or so, I got 500 e-mails, calls ..."
Rychel, the general manager of the Windsor Spitfires, was about to say something else but words failed him. He had been a tough guy in the NHL, 400 games and dozens of brawls against the league's heavyweights, and now he was fighting back tears. Again. No counting how many times over the past 10 days.
Meanwhile, just steps away, the Spitfires were starting to file through the arena doors. Maybe they were making their entrances more quietly than usual for junior hockey players, but still there was chatter about NHL games the night before, about sticks and skates and cars, about the Arctic cold that made starting their cars dicey. Bradley Snetsinger, second-oldest player on the Ontario Hockey League's second-youngest team, was watching C.J., the tow-headed son of assistant coach D.J. Smith, stick-handling a ball of tape while the Spitfires were getting ready for a game-day skate.

Windsor Spitfires captain Mickey Renaud, 19, was a fifth-round draft pick of the Calgary Flames in 2006.
The funny thing was, the ex-NHLers who own, manage and coach the Spitfires seemed to be taking it harder than the teenagers in the junior team's dressing room. It feels cruel just to type that, but you couldn't miss it. Thursday morning, on the eve of the Spitfires' first game after the sudden death 10 days before of Mickey Renaud, the team's captain, it seemed like the kids were in better shape than the former pros.
The key word here is "seemed." It had to be all about appearances.
You could find signs of tribute and grief in the dressing room.
Some were easy to put together. The empty stall with No. 18 hanging in it. The lantern with a candle burning in it, lit by the first player in the room and to be blown out by the last to leave. The white board at the front of the room, blank but for "18." Other signs were tougher to spot. The necklaces around the players' necks, 18 again, gifts from a local jeweller. For some, a freshly tattooed "18" on their chests. And there was one sign of the memory of Renaud that you wouldn't have caught without being told: A pair of enormous workboots with shoelaces as thick as fingers and reinforced soles that a nailgun couldn't penetrate.
The boots looked like they'd been left there by a worker on the arena crew, but they had been Renaud's idea -- he was always trying to think up motivational gimmicks, stuff that the team, his team, could rally around. An award for the hardest-working player on a given night. Renaud had bounced the idea off Tom Webster, the Calgary Flames scout in Windsor, the one who had convinced the Flames to draft Renaud in the fifth round in 2006. Webster dropped off the boots a few days after the funeral.
But the telltale sign of grieving wasn't one you could have seen. It was one you could hear. You could hear the players talking and they didn't have to raise their voices. In most dressing rooms you would have to shout to be heard over music booming at 100 decibels. In the Spitfires' dressing room, there was no music. Maybe it was a conscious decision, that it wouldn't be appropriate. Or maybe it was the fact that Mickey always brought his iPod. He was in charge of the music.
By 6:30 p.m., 4,228 fans had filled the arena -- fans of the Spitfires and fans of Mickey Renaud. That was before you counted the arena staff who first met Renaud when he was a grade-schooler, the kid whose father Mark had played for the Hartford Whalers in the early '80s. The stands were filled almost an hour before game time. Hundreds braved the cold outside the arena, waiting for two hours for fear of being late to the pregame ceremony.
Renaud's friends and classmates from St. Anne's High School were there. The stands were filled with No. 18 sweaters, many that Renaud had autographed with a Sharpie. Hockey fans in Windsor might be able to pick a few Spitfires out of a crowd but they all recognized Renaud -- hard to miss at 6-feet-2, 210 pounds, blond-haired, smiling, outgoing, always saying hello first. If any fan in the crowd knew one of the Spitfires or had talked to just one, it was bound to have been Renaud. Joe Louis Arena is just across the Detroit river from downtown Windsor, but if Niklas Lidstrom came out of the tunnel on the Canadian side few would recognize him. Mickey Renaud couldn't walk a city block in Windsor without getting stopped by a friend.
Junior hockey has home teams but fewer hometown heroes than you might think. A junior player usually has to head out at age 16 to play for a team in another town.
"I played in Sudbury and Ottawa, never for the Spitfires," Rychel says. "I had a hard time just coming back here to play a game or two a season."

Members of the Windsor Spitfires Ontario Hockey League team carry the body of Renaud during funeral services on Feb. 22.
It can be a mixed blessing for some. You get home-cooked meals, but that doesn't help with the unrelenting pressure of performing in front of those who know you. Some struggle with it but Renaud thrived.
"It didn't make his life any easier," Spitfires coach Bob Boughner says. "He was pulled in a lot of directions. He had his friends on his team and his friends from his neighborhood. He had the kids he went to school with, too. As the captain, he tried to do things in the community -- if there was an event that a player had to attend, if someone had to get up and speak, it was Mickey. And he wanted to do that. If a player was traded to the team, he was the one who picked him at the station and drove him to his billets' house and introduced him to his teammates. Mickey looked for a way to lead."
He did that right up to the end. Last week, on a morning when the Spitfires were scheduled to have a community event, skating with the public at the Windsor Arena, Renaud invited a few teammates over for breakfast -- Conor O'Donnell, Bradley Snetsinger and Jordan Nolan, the son of Islanders coach Ted Nolan. While at the breakfast table Renaud collapsed. No previous condition. No symptoms even moments before. An ambulance arrived at the Renauds' home. Minutes later his family was at the hospital. Doctors couldn't revive Renaud. No last words, no clues. An autopsy was ordered but nothing was going to make any sense of it.
The Spifires showed a couple of videos in tribute to Mickey as fans stood throughout. Twenty minutes of highlights. The videos featured the stuff that you'd expect -- goals, big hits, even a couple of fights, which drew the biggest cheers. But the tribute videos couldn't show everything.
"Mickey was a good player with a good chance to play as a pro," Boughner said. "What made him special was all the stuff off the ice. He was the best teammate the players here could have. He was a quality person. There's no video we could make that could really show that."
The Spitfires lined up on the blueline before the game, wearing No. 18 sweaters, with Renaud's name on the back and a captain's C over their hearts. Two by two, they peeled them off and stacked them on a table before a moment of silence that lasted barely longer than a few of them could stand.
The Spitfires hadn't played in a couple of weeks. After Renaud's death a couple of games were canceled. Rychel and Boughner brought in grief counselors for the players. Parents arrived to be with their sons. Some of the players went home for a few days. Boughner was able to get them on the ice a few times for practice but a team's confidence even at the best of times can be a fragile thing. And even at the best of times the Spitfires would have been in for a tough game.
The Belleville Bulls have the second-best record in the 20-team OHL and their roster is made up of older players, a half dozen high NHL draft picks, including top Florida prospect Shawn Matthias. The Bulls were just the sort of team that Renaud played best against. He was always matched up against the other team's top line -- that's how he was going to make the NHL, not as a scorer, but as a shutdown checker.
Those 4,428 fans came out for the tribute; a stirring hockey game was just a bonus. The final score, a 4-3 Belleville win in a shootout, doesn't do either team justice. The winners get two points and credit for playing a hard, clean game after donning their own No. 18 sweaters in the warm-up, a tip of their helmets. The story, though, was the Spitfires, who twice rallied from a goal back to tie the game. The home team took the play to the Bulls, outshooting them 40-24 and hitting the post at least three times. Taylor Hall, a left winger who turned 16 in December, set up Windsor's first goal with a nifty drop pass and scored the goal that sent the game into overtime. With a great backhander for a goal in the shootout, you got a sense Hall was going from boy to man in front of your eyes. The same could be said of others.
"There has been a lot of emotions over the last few days and it's been tough," Hall said in the Spitfires' lounge after the game. "We channeled our emotion into playing a game but we kept our discipline, too. The first few minutes were the hardest ... it was a nervous time. But after that we found our game. This is always going to be hard to think about and talk about. Things will be different with Mickey gone. There isn't one of us who can replace him. We all have to try to do more."
Matthew Bragg, a 20-year-old center from Newfoundland, walked into the lounge in his sweats, wearing the oversize work boots that nearly came up to his knees.
"It could have been any of this who'd wear Mickey's boots tonight," he said. "It was a hard night but a special one, too. I think all of us have changed the way we look at things. We had a chance to remember Mickey and then we had a chance to play the way he did and the way he would have expected us to. Every night Mickey would have worn these boots."
There was no music. Bragg said that might change.
"It was Mickey who was in charge of the music and I used to get on him," Bragg said. "He used to play this awful rap or hip-hop or whatever. I'd get in there and try to sneak on some of my music. Some Irish stuff. Some Newfoundland music, like the band Great Big Sea. I might take over the music in the room from now on. Maybe that's what I can do."
At practices and before games there'll be music the rest of the season and maybe Bragg will put on Great Big Sea. But no one is going to replace Renaud, their captain -- someone will wear his boots but no one will put on the Spitfires' C.

Binge Drinking
Nationwide Problem, Local Solutions
Articles on Teen Drinking and Driving
Summer is here, the temperatures are warm and muggy- most of the time- and people are heading to pools, beaches and lakes for summer fun. Many people reach for a cold beverage during the hot summer weather, and it is good for your health to drink plenty of fluids. Remember, though, that whether you are boating, swimming, water skiing or diving, fun in the water and alcohol don't mix. Alcohol impairs judgment, balance, vision and coordination-not a good combination with any water sports.
White House Drug Policy Office Awards $625,000 to Local Coalition to Prevent Youth Substance Use in Hamilton, N.Y.
Washington D.C. – Today, Michael Botticelli, Director of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), announced 697 Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grants, totaling $86 million. The grants will provide local community coalitions funding to prevent youth substance use, including prescription drugs, marijuana, tobacco and alcohol. The Hamilton Area Community Coalition from Hamilton, NY was one of the grant recipients and will receive $625,000 in DFC grant funds to involve and engage their local community to prevent substance use among youth.
Madison County Victim Impact Panel
VIP is an opportunity for court mandated participants to hear real life stories and become aware of the spiral effect of impaired driving crashes. Those who have been affected in one way or another hope their stories will help others to make low risk choices and avoid the pain they have experienced.
A speaker might be family member or a friend of someone injured or killed, the actual person injured, a first responder or the offender themselves. Each has a story to tell and the telling of that story can be a part of their healing as well.
Madison County VIP is a program of the Office of the Madison County Sheriff and administered by BRiDGES. If you have any questions regarding this program or if you or someone you know needs support as a result of an impaired crash you can reach the program administrator at 697-3947 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Responsible Server Training
Training for Intervention Procedures

The trainings increase awareness of the effects of alcohol on the brain, intoxication rate factors, tolerance and BAC, and provide intervention strategies, including checking IDs.
Trainings are available, at a nominal cost, on a regular basis for establishments or organizations that sell or serve alcohol to the public. Call Susan Jenkins at 315 697-3947 for information on classes available in Madison County.

I bet you ladies have some good advice on this. My 4 month old son HATES taking his antibiotics and has become increasingly more adept at spitting it out. His was on Cephalexin the first week and didn't seem to mind it nearly as much. But now he is on Nitrofurantoin, which has a much thicker, more viscous consistency. It's like drinking a heavy syrup, which is probably why he hates it so much. So far we've trying sneaking a tiny amount in at a time and then offering the bottle right away so that he is encouraged to swallow. No dice. Then we tried holding his chin closed and tilting his head back to force him to swallow. It feels like torture and he finds a way to spit it out anyway.
The only advice from the doctor's office is to try to squirt it towards the inside of his cheek so that it slides down the gullet more easily. He spits that out too.
So what do we do? We're using the little syringe dropper but have also tried the measuring spoon.

A story of the gift of Life.
|Here is a pic of Isaiah with his EEG monitor on. His sister needed to sit right next to him in bed!
|Where did Belle go?
|The nurses put a sticker on his head, because... BATMAN!
|When coloring gets too intense.
So Isaiah had his cast off about a week and a half ago. Things are very much the same. He is still not very mobile, and it's like starting over with pain. After not moving for so long he is very stiff and tender.
We still have the hospital bed to keep him comfortable. He still spends the majority of his time here. We take him for short walks and out and about. We had thought we could take a short camping trip but it ended up being way too much for him, even though we were able to position him relatively similar he was whining and crying pretty much the whole time except when he was sleeping.
He starts physical therapy next week. He also gets his Botox injections this week. Hopefully these two things will help him be more comfortable. In the meantime, hopefully some sister hugs will help.
Anytime I am away from my cuties, I am always checking my phone's photo gallery just to get a peek at them. They are too adorable! I try to take at least one picture a day. Even though Isaiah is stuck in bed healing, he still has some smiles. He gets some tummy time with the help of his dad on a nightly basis, but otherwise, its only one week til his cast comes off!
One thing that lots of special needs families struggle with is finding care for their children and balancing work and family life. We have been struggling with this for a long time, and still do. But we have been through a lot and have finally come to find a solution that works for us.
We went through a few PCAs before finding one we trusted. She worked out for a couple of wonderful years. But we never really had a back up plan, since finding someone to fill in part time is even harder. When she recently decided to reduce hours, we understood, but were sad to see her less. Isaiah loves her and they have a really good bond. We tried finding a replacement and decided that just wasn't working out. We knew we were the best able to care for Isaiah and Isabelle. But in order to do this, one of us would have to leave our job. For practicality reasons, that was me.
When I approached my employer to break the news, I also proposed another solution. I could work a reduced schedule, while still coming in for meetings one full day a week. I didn't know if it would work for them, but figured it was worth a try. Thanks to my hard work and determination, they accepted this and let me keep working. So now I work from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm four days a week and one full day. John gets home to take over at 2:30, and on the full day Isaiah's PCA stays with him.
I am thrilled with this schedule. I like to call myself a part-time stay at home mom. I get to spend more time with my cuties while remaining in the workforce. I have been working (slowly) toward my MHA, so this will continue to keep me up-to-date in the healthcare industry and valuable in the job market for the future.
I think things like this work out for a reason. Right when we thought we would need to take a major drop in our family income and struggle to get by, this just happened to work itself out. Although I am taking a reduction in my income, we are able to use some of the funds that would have gone to his PCA care as a consumer support grant, which makes us almost whole again by providing parent pay and helping with equipment needs.
Praise God for helping us work everything out and for giving us more precious time with our children.
Isaiah came home from the hospital on Saturday. Since then, mom and dad have taken on the role of nurse to him. It really is a full time job. I feel like we weren't properly prepared proir to his surgery for all of the needs he would have afterward.
First of all, he needs a special wheelchair that can recline (his could tilt back, but didn't recline) because he can never be bent more than 70 degrees up. It can't ride in his spot in the van, and in order to transport him home, and anywhere, he has to wear a special vest and be strapped flat in the back seat. Because our van is modified, we have no middle seats, so we can't bring both kids anywhere in the same vehicle until he gets back in his regular chair.
He has a normal bed, so we were trying to make him comfortable with pillows. This was nearly impossible, so we had to get a hospital bed to rent. I wish we would have had this right away, so we didn't struggle to make him comfortable for the first two days. His bed is parked in the living room and it goes up and down, plus the head and feet go up and down so changing positions is easier.
Changing him is a struggle. He has to be rolled up and onto his side, back and forth to change what is underneath him. He was swollen bad from surgery and didn't fit into his diapers. Since he was already in the largest size of over the counter diapers, we had to buy some men's Depends that we cut the sides and put on him. I also bought some pads to put under him to catch any leaks, they were meant for puppies but they work great. He hates being changed because it hurts him. He cries and I feel so bad. But this is slowly getting better.
Because he can't sit up, his secretions keep getting stuck in thr back of his throat. He doesn't swallow well, so this causes them to thicken up. He coughs a lot and gags on it. If I don't suction it out about every 10 minutes, he throws up. He also needs the cough assist machine frequently to help keep him loose. Thank goodness we already had these machines, or we would really be struggling. Plus he uses his nebulizer as needed to try and keep his lungs healthy and clear as well.
And then there is Isabelle. She tends to get pretty jealous of her brother getting attention and pretty much fusses about half the time we aren't holding her. But she also has her good moments when she can be by Isaiah. She loves him so much and tries to cheer him up. They make each other smile. It is so cute to see how their love is developing. I think she will be an understanding and helpful sibling as she grows up.
So, we pretty much won't be venturing out of the house for the next few weeks, besides wheeling Mr. Isaiah outside to get some fresh air. I am pretty much unable to transfer him myself so I have to wait each day until John is home. As hard as it is, it is only temporary. And we already have over a week done. I just pray he heals well so we can be done sooner rather than later.
Isaiah had his last day of school just prior to having surgery. He was able to participate in half of the summer session, but he was done once he had his surgery. He was doing great and I know he will look forward to going again in September.
The bus ride remains one of his favorite parts. He rode the bus all by himself a few times, and he did great. I heard that he did well in school and really enjoyed participating in all their activities. They use two switches on a tray to have Isaiah ask for turns and choose activities, and one of our goals for the summer is to get a similar set up at home. We can borrow through the Pacer Center until we find out what works best for him. I am excited to give some technology a try.
I have a whole stack of art projects that Isaiah brings home for us. I am also going to find a creative way to display these. Every time he brings something home he is so proud of it. When you ask him questions about them he beams with pride. I love that he is able to participate, and hope that he continues to do well with school as we get into September.
I'm sure Isaiah can't wait to be able to swing again!

NEW YORK — Cam Newton's selection as the No. 1 pick was perhaps the only predictable element of this most unusual NFL draft.
While the league's labor dispute played out in the courts, and the commissioner struggled to speak over a howling crowd chanting "We want football," the draft got under way Thursday night with a few surprises.
Newton was not one of them.
The Auburn quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner went to the Carolina Panthers —the worst team in the league — and vowed to immediately fix that. Newton led Auburn to an undefeated season and its first national championship since 1957.
"I'm ready to change this whole organization around, to go from worst to first," he said. "Just being a Panther is the most special part about this."
Not so special but certainly unusual was Commissioner Roger Goodell getting booed as he prepared to conduct a moment of silence for victims of the devastating storms that ripped through the South. He responded to their chants for football by saying, "I hear you. So do I."
Then he was bear-hugged by a player who is suing the league.
With the second pick, Denver took Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller, a plaintiff in the antitrust lawsuit players filed to block the lockout. He strode across the stage with tears in his eyes and embraced Goodell.
"I've never had anything against Roger Goodell," Miller said. "I just want to make sure football continues to get played. When I walked across the stage, I was meeting the commissioner. That was it."
It was a strange opening for what normally is a festive occasion. In this offseason of labor strife, the league's first work stoppage since 1987 temporarily ends Friday. The 32 teams will resume business in compliance with U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson's order to lift the lockout.
Then again, the lockout could be back in place if the NFL wins an appeal. If that happens, Newton, Miller and all the players chosen Thursday night would be thrown back into a labor limbo.
For now, they will be allowed to report to their teams, meet coaches and get playbooks. Contract negotiations are uncertain until the league announces its rules for the 2011 season — rules that might be in force for only a short time if an appeal is granted.
The draft was never in danger of being held because it was protected under the old collective bargaining agreement that expired in March.
Moments before the annual spring ritual got under way, Goodell requested a moment of silence for victims of Wednesday's storms, which left at least 280 people dead in six states and hundreds more injured. On stage, he was surrounded by the Auburn and Alabama stars and their coaches.
Of those stars, none shined brighter than Newton, who has shown he can handle the heat of a spotlight. He turned in a sensational 2010 season while the NCAA investigated his recruitment. Newton's father, Cecil, has admitted soliciting money from Mississippi State during the recruiting process, but said neither the player nor Auburn knew about the pay-for-play attempt.
With the third pick, Buffalo selected Alabama nose tackle Marcell Dareus, who gave Goodell an even bigger hug. Of course, Dareus weighs 308 pounds, about 70 more than Miller — and at least 100 more than Goodell.
"I wanted to give him a hug because I finally made it to the big dance," Dareus said.
Cincinnati, perhaps calling the bluff of quarterback Carson Palmer, who is demanding a trade, instead took the top receiver in this crop, A.J. Green of Georgia.
Arizona, also in need of a quarterback, selected the top cornerback available, Patrick Peterson of LSU.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Lynx have re-signed center Jessica Adair.
The team announced the deal Thursday but did not disclose terms.
Adair appeared in 31 regular-season games during Minnesota's championship run last year. The 6-4 center averaged 4.3 points and 2.9 rebounds a game while shooting .485 percent from the floor, and scored in double-figures twice.
Adair played in the final 2010 regular-season game for Minnesota. She spent much of the 2010 training camp with the Lynx and played in one preseason game before she was released.

Last time they preannounced the dividend (with no cut) BEFORE the SPO. This time the SPO precedes the dividend announcement by a few weeks, which makes me think there may be a cut. IMHO
I'm with you. I heard Gary all but promised the $1.25 going forward.
GL2UA and go AGNC and MTGE.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Think about it, if AGNC board intends to keep the $1.25 dividend, why not announce that at the same time as the SPO? It would certainly make the SPO much more acceptable to the market. Again, just my opinion.
Sentiment: Buy
It will be $1.25, GK practically promised that during the 4q12 ER conference call. Of course until it's officially declared by the board it's not officially declared, but listen to GK and you'll feel more comfortable expecting $1.25.
Tay, I was probably one of the biggest believers in the dividend getting cut. But from what GK indicated, I think I'd now be legitimately ticked if they did cut it! :o) I'm in for 2K at 31.49 basis. GL
Dont cry now, everybody on this site say that they are OK with one dollar divy.
AGNC wouln't have offered SPO with a dividend cut.
Will be biggest screw job coming if that occurs.
Coincidence SPO offered after Bernanke's speech?

|"Lost" Kubrick and Be@rbricks by MediCom
Fans lined up around the corner at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood Wednesday night for the chance to see the new Kubrick figures based on characters from âLost,â the hit ABC television show. Meltdown celebrated the event in a big way by bringing out a large number of the showâs writing team, Executive Producers Carlton Cuse and co-creators Damon Lindelof and J.J. Abrams.
At the head of the line, a young fan in a Dharma Initiative jumpsuit held a large Dharma sign. Meanwhile, Meltdown Staff wore specially made shirts with a variation on the same Dharma Initiative logo. ABC News had a camera on hand to capture the event and interview fans about their expectations for the upcoming season, which premieres January 21.
The 2.36-inch tall Kubrick figures, designed by MediCom, feature âLostâ characters Jack, Locke, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Charlie and Hurley, available in two-packs or individually. The figures representing Scot and Ben are available, but rare. Also available is a Be@rbrick variation featuring the Dharma logo on its chest. The figures were available in Japan since August, but this event marked the lineâs official US debut.
When the man in the jumpsuit arrived inside, he was greeted by writers asking him if he had made the costume himself, and he asked them all to sign his Dharma sign.
Besides the Kubricks and Be@rbricks, fans also asked to have DVDs and even a can of Dharma Initiative Chicken Soup autographed by the âLostâ staffers. Besides Abrams, Cuse, and Lindelof, also signing were a collection of producers and writers including Edward Kitsis, Melinda Hsu Taylor, Elizabeth Sarnoff, Brian K. Vaughan, Jack Bender, Adam Horowitz, Kyle Pennington, and Bryan Burk. During the signing, brochures for Oceanic Airlines were passed out. Several of those were signed as well.
|"Lost" co-creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof sign Be@rbricks for fans at Meltdown
Though initially told to keep the line moving, the event took on a less formal air and fans were allowed a few moments to chat with the âLostâ crew.
Later, the jumpsuited fan, a student at the University of Southern California named Nick Rizzo, explained both the suit and the sign. âI got it from ABC.com,â he said. The website made jumpsuits available for Halloween. âI wished theyâd made them sooner,â he continued. Using the suit, he dressed up as character Desmond from the show. Brian K. Vaughn asked him if he was recognized. Rizzo replied, âNot in Hollywood, but when I got to [the USC] campus, people knew who I was.â Rizzo dyed his hair to match the character. The Dharma sign was a birthday present ordered off of eBay. Rizza said the sign was âMy canvass to collect as many signatures as possible.â
The gallery section of Meltdown was decorated to feel like the hatch seen on âLost,â with shelves stocked with Dharma supplies. Additionally, art provided by producer Jack Bender was on display.

Species' distributions, assemblage patterns and the processes influencing these are poorly understood, and urgently require study. Use of volunteers to collect data is becoming increasingly common in biodiversity research. We assess the effectiveness of volunteers sampling terrestrial savanna invertebrates in comparison to experienced researchers, and examine the potential contribution of volunteers to terrestrial invertebrate surveys. There were relatively few differences in the diversity sampled by 54 Earthwatch Institute volunteers when compared to expert researchers. The major difference was in the results from the less spatially constrained method, where experience (microhabitat selection) most affected results, and experienced researchers performed better both quantitatively (more species sampled) and qualitatively (more unique and rare species). For the more constrained and less subjective methods, our training enabled the volunteers to quickly equal the experienced experts. Volunteers' experience in invertebrate research influenced both the researchers' perceptions of volunteers' capacity and the actual performance of the volunteers. This suggests that appropriate training for the methods used can help to improve volunteers' success with the sampling. We demonstrated that volunteers collect valid data; for the most part they sample invertebrates as effectively as a trained researcher, and that using volunteers has enormous direct benefits in terms of volume of work accomplished. For invertebrate studies using volunteers, we recommend that the subjectivity of the method be minimised, that experience is compensated for by increasing volunteer effort (two volunteers = one researcher), and that there is close management of volunteers in the field to ensure ongoing data quality. Volunteers provide a valuable resource to researchers carrying out biodiversity surveys, but using volunteers to carry out a scientifically sound project is not an easy option, and should only be implemented when volunteers would make a meaningful contribution and enable an otherwise impossible project.

This seems to be our theme this season. Get down by a huge deficit, then turn Alex Loose. It's obvious Smith can make plays, the thing is our coaching staff is stubborn as f**k. Why not come out with this game plan from the start. We NEED to use the spread the whole game.
I'm sick of seeing this adjustments after the game is all but put away, only for us to come back but not close the game out with a W.
I'm not done with Smith. When he is used properly, he can get it done. Coaches need to realize this.
I don't know, maybe go into the game with the mentality that you're already down by 20?
These losses to me hurt more than blowouts, because we were so close to tasting victory. 1st houston, then indy, now this?
I'm sick of it. Jed needs to be a man of his words, and hold his head coach accountable if we don't make the playoffs. Take that how u want to, but there are other Super Bowl winning coaches (Gruden, Cohwer, Shannahan, Holmgren) that I'm sure would love to get back into coaching..
That's my rant... this team hurts to watch...and i don't blame the players (smith included)

Lovecraft short story, Re-Animator tells the strange tale of medical student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbot) and his girlfriend Megan Halsey (Barbara Crampton), both of them drawn to odd new student Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) who's conducting secret experiments involving the re-animation of dead tissue. When one of the instructors, Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), stumbles upon their activities, West murders him -- but is brought back to life, now thirsting for revenge as well as lusting after Megan. The final denouement features the re-animated Dr. Hill squaring off against Herbert and Dan in a battle royale within the school's morgue, complete with resurrected "henchmen" and undoubtedly one of the greatest visual double entendres in all horror cinema!
