With the holiday season coming up, and jewelry commercials saturating all forms of media and consciousness, I thought I'd talk about NHL players have been certifiable gems thus far this season, as well as some that have been absolute fool's gold.
Let's try not to address the same tired old players that you've heard about time and time again. Everyone and their mother knows that Nik Antropov, Matt Cullen and Mike Richards are producing at an amazing rate. These columns will address players that you haven't yet read about in other articles.
***The following statistics are accurate as of Wednesday morning, December 12, 2007***
In Part I, I'll discuss some players who (if you managed to snag them in the draft or off of the waiver wire in the early goings of the season) have paid nice and somewhat unexpected dividends. These guys have (in many cases) rewarded their savvy fantasy managers with a good position in the standings heading into the holiday season.
Shawn Horcoff – 33 Points in 32 games. He's averaged just over a point per game which puts him on pace for a career season.
On top of his raw point total, further analysis shows that this guy has more goals (he currently has 15) than the likes of Dany Heatley, Sidney Crosby, Michael Cammalleri, and Zach Parise (who all have 14), Ryan Getzlaf (who has 13), Marion Hossa (who has 12), Evgeni Malkin, Jonathan Toews, and Daniel Sedin (who all have 11). He is the third ranked natural center in goals in the league. Only Vincent Lecavalier and Olli Jokinen have more goals than him thus far.
In addition, his plus/minus rating is a team leading plus-6 rating; he has 20 penalty minutes on the year, and has taken 69 shots on goal. He's been one of the most well-rounded centers in the league through the first third of the season.
His production might taper off a bit through the rest of the season, but he is almost a lock to return to 70-plus points this season (after a disappointing 51 point season last year). Many people are recommending him as a sell high candidate, and in keeper leagues that is very advisable because of the depth the Oilers have in terms of prospects at center. In one year roto leagues however, I'd hold onto him for now. He's currently riding an 8 game point streak in which he has 13 points, and for some reason people have a low opinion of this guy and you might not be able to convince many experienced fantasy players that he is worth their time of day. Remember, they don't have to be pretty to watch, but if they put up the numbers they are worth your time.
Rod Brind'Amour – 32 Points in 31 games. Many people out there continue to think that he'll slow down… he's got to right? Apparently he didn't get the memo. He's once again on pace for 70-plus points, and has a great shot at breaking 80 for the second straight season.
Like Horcoff, Brindy is also a well balanced center who will get you goals, assists, shots on goal, and penalty minutes. He's also one of the most defensively responsible forwards in the NHL so his plus/minus will also always be good. If your league counts faceoff wins, this guy should be as valuable (or possibly more valuable) than the likes of Malkin, Heatley, and Lecavalier.
As Dobber said in his preseason guide, he looks to have at least a couple of years left in him, but if you own him in a keeper league, perhaps his consistent production since the lockout is enticing enough to other owners to trade him for a great prospect.
Nikolai Zherdev – 24 Points in 30 games. He's here (not in Russia), he seems to be playing hard, and he's not disputing his contract. What else could you want as a Zherdev owner? How about a 60-plus point season (for the first time in his NHL career)?
He's got 12 goals and 12 assists and 97 shots on goal. These might be the supporting stats that you need to finally dump this guy if you own him in a long term league. He does have great potential, and you might be loving him right now, but just remember how he made you feel for the last 2-3 years. He's the epitome of a player that can get you points one year and not even play the next. Trade him while you can and get a more reliable (but still promising) guy in return.
In one year leagues, pat yourself on the back. You took a chance on him when no one else wanted to touch him with a ten-foot pole.
Ed Jovanovski – 17 Points in 27 games. Only eleven defenders have more points than him so far this season, and only three defenders have more shots on goal than his 79 so far this year. He's on pace to break 50 points for the first time in his career. Not bad for a guy that you likely drafted fairly late (if he was even drafted at all).
While his plus/minus is a biting minus-8 on the year, much of that is from the beginning of the season as he was minus-1 during the last month of play. Ilya Bryzgalov coming to town will only help this stat, so don't let his plus/minus scare you. The only legitimate concern you might have about Jovocop is his health. He has been far less fragile so far this season then he had proven to be previously though, and I think that he has a great shot at playing at least 75 games this year.
Either try and dish these guys if you think they will slow down or get injuried (or in Zherdev's case stop trying), or just ride the heat wave. These guys have been golden so far this season and show signs of continuing their pace through the end of the season. Enjoy every bit of production you get out of them.

text: Josh Flint The Clock Is Ticking on Meat Label Laws Prairie Gleanings Will nutrition labels on packages of meat change how you purchase protein? Published on: December 31, 2010 Nutrition labels, to be required on packages of meat by 2012, have grabbed quite a few headlines in the past few days. After reading an article in USA Today, I realized this requirement is going to push me toward purchasing healthier cuts. The newspaper showed the differences between 73% lean ground beef and 96% lean ground beef. For a 4-ounce serving, that's 350 calories (270 from fat) for 73% and 130 calories (25 from fat) for 96%. A ground beef lover, I've always been willing to eat more fat calories in return for more taste. Of course, I didn't realize how much more fat I was eating as a result. When numbers are included on my favorite cuts of meat, I'll probably hesitate before picking up a package of pork shoulder blade steaks. I bet a lot of folks start picking up more expensive, leaner cuts as a result. Probably not a bad thing, but I'll always remember those blissfully ignorant days when I scarfed down pork steaks slathered with barbecue sauce. O.K. so maybe I'm not ignorant to the difference in fat content between a pork steak and a pork tenderloin. Still, it will be tough to see the numbers displayed in black and white. In today's recessionary climate, folks are already looking for a great bargain when it comes to protein. Many analysts have pointed toward trends away from beef, which is typically more expensive. With the new label laws, I hope it doesn't give an unfair advantage to boneless, skinless chicken breast. Hopefully folks take the time and effort to prepare pork and beef in a health conscious manner. What about you? Will labels change your purchase habits? Registered users may comment on this blog.

That last one's really cool, but don't get lazy man; the cast shadow on the ground is kinda messy and it should start with the occlusion where feet meet the ground. You know that, push it all the way next time or I'll write you off my will
Dig this fresh comic style you got going on, man. Good stuff.
There's something about the blue girl I can't quite put my finger on. The left foot seems very flat, and there's something about the leg muscles that take a ton of femininity away. Nevertheless, that mech is boss mang.
That last one's really cool, but don't get lazy man; the cast shadow on the ground is kinda messy and it should start with the occlusion where feet meet the ground. You know that, push it all the way next time or I'll write you off my will
toast@ Stop staring to her boobs!
gunz@ I think we could all agree in a consensus that I take away some of the femininity of womens in my draws, like there is one that look some what manly or muscular (also some fatty around the belly). And even so I agree in your point and everyone else who have said one of my females look some what manly, I don't feel the need to change it. Even so I must take this suggestions on mind ones I try to make a more feminine girl (at the moment I have only drawn strong females). In resume, I agree with all those opinions, but at the same time I haven't tried to make feminine girls, but more strong (warrior?) females, so gonna take it in consideration ones I try a more normal female.
For the record, the style is still in development.
rubisko@ I'm lazy, but I will try to finish the shades in other draws (probably in ones where the background is something I do care, lol). But I'm having struggles on the shades casted over the ground, specially because I'm trying other patterns of colors in some draws and cast of lights, which makes me really bother about shades at the moment.
I quite like characters of this nature. Anyway, I'm sure about how she's holding the sword. Firstly I don't think she would support its weight without holding it more tightly, but if she were to hold it tightly how she is holding it, she'd cut her hand!
The other thing I notice is her..right foot? The toes look really flat to me.

I need to know what people think on my paintings; I'm in a constant concern that my art work is not enough to get a professional value or that it could but I'm losing the potential at not selling it, so what do you guys feel about my art work (paints)? Where should I focus more? And what do you like more (you can see more paints on the whole thread)?
really, I think in terms of paintings, you just need to worry more about neatness. That's really all that bugs me. Also, a lot of your earlier work like head break and tired of wanting are uncentered and really throw the pieces off. But I'm sure you get that by now
However, in terms of art in general, I think you should push yourself more and start to get into backgrounds and all that, mostly because I only see you draw characters. also work more on your boobs because the way you draw boobs are really weird looking
Generally in your work I think you should develop the style you used for your barbarian and archer. The high contrast, and the wood cut feel to those pieces are really cool. If you follow up on toasts advice about environment and architecture, and then prsent them in that same style I think a lot of people would be interested in that world.
As for this last rat-man, the main technical error you should watch is that the fingertips of the hand in front of the body creates a lot of tangents with, well, the body. I also think you should try to put in a few more visual clues to the narration here, as with any story you can't give up the whole thing at once, but if you don't leave stuff to answeer the viewers questions they'll get bored pretty quick.
Other than that, just push yourself harder. Make sure to finish up your paintings properly, and if you want to get more creative then just draw more.
-Center images (I feel I'm checking this after I did those paints).
-Work on the barbarian and archer style (lets see if I do commissions some people might want that style).
-Backgrounds (ugh, at the moment I have no project around backgrounds, but lets see if I made some time for it).
Also, currently working on a 16bit papercraft piece for a contest. I hope to finish it before the closing time, if I fail on this I'm going to post it here.
At the moment I'm also working on this piece, which is a fake comic cover for a film. I'm not getting payed for it, but I hope, when the money of the film get spend I might get some cash for this (specially because i have to do more draws).
And I'm thinking in opening commissions. But I have no idea how much to charge or slots to open, so if you guys have any idea, or if you guys have a value to give to my work or the best pay methods, please, tell me. Anything can help.
What else? Oh ya, I made a facebook art account to show pieces and hopefully sell those. I have one piece at the moment (the polished version of rat man), but I hope to fill the facebook account with more stuffs.
Yeah, I love it.
I found some tangents though, I marked them on this treasure map:
Drawing looks incredible; lines are clean and crisp like a pro. The girl's face on the lower right side may need a little tweaking. Angle is a bit off. Aside from that, anatomy and pose look flawless. Also, it seems that the girls aren't meant to share a page. I mean, the poses aren't cooperating/ relating well to each other... but maybe you intended it that way, so i'm not really sure.
I can't really offer advice on commissions since i'm not familiar with that.
sorry if this was all i could say. anyway, good luck on your projects! i'm sure many would be interested to buy your art, considering your talent and eye for aesthetics.

Spanish Springs topped Reed 3-1 the first time the two rivals played a month ago and beat Reed again, 2-1, on the road on a chilly Wednesday night.
Spanish Springs, the High Desert League champs, remained undefeated at 14-0-2 in its final league tuneup before a non-league contest with Sparks Friday, and the regional tournament next week. Reed, which finished the season 5-10-1, was left to play for pride after being eliminated from the playoffs in a loss at North Valleys last Wednesday.
"It came down for us playing for heart, us playing for pride," Reed coach Joel Martinez said. "Obviously, we kept up with them for 73 minutes of the game."
With the game tied 1-1 in the 73rd minute, Victor Garcia showed off his blazing speed to burn past the Reed defense. He found a wide open Chris Moreland who drilled home the game-winner from seven yards out.
Moreland is the son of Spanish Springs coach, Rob Moreland, and entered the game off the bench late in the second half.
"That's pretty cool," the Spanish Springs coach said. "You never know what is going to happen. You throw him out there and see what happens. He did a good job."
Edwin Medina scored the Cougars' first goal just three minutes into the match. The Reed defense was unable to clear the ball with its back against its own net and Medina capitalized.
Reed's Roberto Jacuinde tied the match in the 55th minute after streaking down the middle of the field and slotting the ball inside the near post from 15 yards out.
Jacuinde had a chance to tie the match, much earlier, in the sixth minute. After Spanish Springs' goalie Omar Trujillo was unable to clear the ball, Jacuinde corralled it at the top of the box with an open net but his shot rolled right of the net.
"We missed the one without a keeper at the beginning of the game but that's just the way soccer is," Martinez said.
The Raiders were without four starters who were ineligible after failing to make grades.
"It was good to comeback," Moreland said. "I think it shows character. This field is hard to get your passing going, so it was tough on our guys but I'm glad they came back and got out of it."
Moreland added his team is not playing its best soccer after the Fall Break but believes his team will regain crisp form before the regional tournament next week.
Spanish Springs hosts Sparks Friday, before the regional tournament, in an intriguing non-league matchup between arguably the two strongest schools in northern Nevada.
Reed put the 2013 season to bed with the loss.
"I think we did what we had to do we just didn't capitalize on certain mistakes and they (opponents) did," Martinez said. "At the end of the game, what matters is what's on that scoreboard."

Non-developer here with a new start-up. I know that a lump-sum, all-encompassing flat fee for a website/application isn't practical.
However, I've read the threads about devalued programmer fees, so could you guys help me figure how best to estimate the cost (or at least a decent range) of having a website/app designed and developed?
As someone with limited technical knowledge, trying to budget for web development is a black hole of confusion...and given that the company is a website, that's a problem in writing even semi-accurate proformas.
The site needs to act as a subscriber-based e-commerce site like Ebay, Amazon or Etsy with store subscriptions for clients, a social networking aspect, and a CMS.
What is the general financial range I need to be thinking about?
the best way to estimating the cost of a app is based on the feature and its complexity from which we will got how many hours the project will be completed and it will end up with how much cost you have to spend on it. actually there's more accurate estimation based on line of code etc.. but i think features and it's complexity is the objective way for programmer and project owner
ebay, amazon, etsy is very complex site i think, it would take more than 6 monts development time i guess =)

Staff turnover leaves team foundation at risk
New Manchester United manager David Moyes swept through the Old Trafford door Monday and brought his three closest colleagues with him. Paddy Crerand and the Reds greeted new coaches Chris Woods, Steve Round and Jimmy Lundsden and the new era is underway. It makes total sense for the new boss to bring in his own assistants, but what exactly has been lost with the departures of Mike Phelan, Rene Meulenstein and Eric Steele?
David de Gea's improvement last term was phenomenal and he finished the campaign as many pundits' pick as goalkeeper of the season. However, a great deal of the credit for that must lie at the door of Steele, the outgoing keeper coach.
-Moyes brings in coaching trio
-Thiago keen on United clause
Whether or not de Gea can maintain his form in the new campaign remains to be seen. It is worth noting that it would only take three mistakes from de Gea to cost United about six points, and potentially the title. His importance to the team cannot be overstated. It is important that he builds rapport with Woods quickly.
The last two seasons have born witness to a terrific return to form for Rio Ferdinand. In 2010 he looked close to finished, the recurrence of injuries to his back and calf meant he could rarely be relied upon to make two performances in a month.
Ferdinand managed 28 league performances last term and provided the solidity and consistency that had been lacking the previous two campaigns. It seems as though they have finally found a way to manage his aging body and trouble-plagued back. Being plunged into the training schedules of a new set of coaches could undo all the good work that has been done so far.
Nemanja Vidic's knee remains an ongoing concern. He has been operated on several times in the past few years and, although he made a string of impressive performances in the second half of last season, his consistency has still not completely returned.
Along with Rio and de Gea, Vidic makes up the foundation of the team. With those three working well in unison, United will always stand a chance. If that trident has a weakness though, then so do the aspirations of the club.
The good thing United have done so far is keep quiet. This is in stark contrast to the behaviour of the closest challengers to last year's title. Jose Mourinho sauntered into Stamford Bridge and started talking about dynasties and consistency somewhere in the middle of his sixth hour as Chelsea manager.
Similarly, Manuel Pellegrini addressed the press on his first day and outlined a target of winning the Champions League and at least one trophy a year with Manchester's second club. He still had fresh food in the fridge in Spain.
Moyes and United have said precisely nothing. People have quietly had their holidays, kept their counsel and drawn up plans for the new season. Moyes' first press conference as United manager will be later this week and it will be interesting to see what he says. However, he doesn't need to make a great speech, he needs to get the foundation of the team right.

William Carey University of course !!
Which is the better Flipping Cheerleader 3, Washington State or William Carey?
Sometimes, a story doesn't need much telling. In today's case, all you need to know is "Wazzu cheerleader, 70 feet away, backflip, bang."
Video evidence above (h/t @collegespun)
Now, this isn't the place for snarky jokes about how the Cougars' real players can't do any worse trying to shoot threes like this. They shot a decent-enough 34.7 percent as a team last season from behind the arc. It was really on the defensive side of the ball that the Cougs struggled, and defending the arc with backflips probably isn't efficient, even for a last-place Pac-12 team.
The real question is whether this is even the best flipping cheerleader shot of 2013. Ohhhhh, you forgot about the William Carey half-court, front flip with a pick-up of the ball in mid-flip?
I'm still leaning toward William Carey, for the technical difficulty. Hit up the comments below and let us know which Cheerleader Flip 3 you prefer.

In a Barbie doll world, the company's Bratz line gives girls options. MGA Entertainment manufactures children's fashion dolls under the Moxie Girlz, Novi Stars, and Lalaloopsy names. The company also owns Little Tikes (maker of the iconic Cozy Coupe) and produces Rescue Pets-brand plush animals. Through a partnership with Zapf Creation, MGA makes and markets lifelike baby dolls. MGA holds a 65% stake in the venture. Founded in 1982 as ABC Electronics, the manufacturer changed its name to Micro Games of America and then shortened it to MGA when shifted its focus from games to dolls in the late '90s.
Geographic Reach
MGA Entertainment reaches retailers worldwide. The company has operations in the US, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Greece, France, Monaco, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Mexico, Italy, Russia, and the UK.
MGA Entertainment has owned the exclusive license to sell Zapf Creation's products in American markets since 2007. In return, Zapf Creation is paid a distribution fee to sell MGA products in certain European markets. MGA recently took orders for a doll featuring Lady Gaga from retailers in 10 countries.
MGA also acquired the license to make a doll with Lady Gaga's likeness and voice. However, the toy manufacturer in mid-2012 sued the pop star (and her management and licensing companies) for more than $10 million, alleging they broke the agreement by delaying approval of the toy, which threatens to miss the fall and Christmas shopping season.
MGA Entertainment ended a legal battle with rival toy maker Mattel in 2011 over the Bratz line of multiethnic dolls, The aptly dubbed "doll wars" has taken a toll on MGA's finances. The company has incurred more than $137 million in legal fees associated with copyright and trade secrets issues. It also missed out on the benefits of its top-selling Bratz, whose revenues were diverted to an escrow account until all appeals were exhausted. In 2011 Mattel's claim to the dolls was denied and its rival awarded $319 million in damages and legal fees. Mattel moved to appeal the award in spring 2012, but dropped its claim that MGA infringed on its copyright. MGA Entertainment also faces an uncertain future as the Toys R Us IPO stalls. The toy maker along with other manufacturers relies heavily on the chain to showcase its products. Without an IPO to pay off its considerable debt, Toys R Us' appears an increasingly risky retail partner.
As part of its rebound strategy, MGA has brought out a line of Bratz True Hope bald dolls in solidarity with cancer sufferers. Other efforts in 2012 include a partnership with tween apparel, accessories, and lifestyle retailer Justice (owned by Ascena Retail Group) to debut the cosmic Novi Stars brand of dolls. The introduction follows MGA's rollout of the Bratzilla doll line, enchanted good witch cousins of the Bratz.
Sales and Marketing
The company sells its products through big-name retailers the likes of Toys R Us, Target, eBay, Kmart, Amazon.com, and Wal-Mart. Not all of the company's products are available at all retailers, however. Some are available only in stores while others are available exclusively online.

SOURCE ELCOMSOFT Co. Ltd.
MOSCOW, January 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. updates iOS Forensic Toolkit, adding physical acquisition support for last-generation iOS 7 devices. Physical acquisition is now available for jailbroken devices running Apple iOS 7 and iOS 6.1.3-6.1.5 including iPhone 4S, 5 and 5C, iPad 2-4, iPad Mini, iPod Touch 1-4 and either having no passcode protection or carrying a jailbreak installed.
With more than 83% of all iOS devices now running iOS 7, ElcomSoft gives the mobile forensic industry a boost. Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit is still remaining the only commercially available forensic product that is able to perform physical acquisition of iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and newer generation hardware.
Physical acquisition allows extracting information from Apple's protected storage, the keychain. In many cases, the enhanced iOS 7 keychain may contain the original passwords to Apple ID accounts. If present, this data allows investigators seamlessly accessing information stored in the iCloud as well as tracking the users' geolocation coordinates in real-time by using Apple iCloud Find My Phone or Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker (available separately).
Physical acquisition of last-generation iOS 7 devices is possible if either of the following is true:
"Apple users are fast when it comes to upgrades," says Vladimir Katalov, ElcomSoft CEO. "The latest version of iOS, iOS 7, is already installed on some 83 per cent of compatible devices. We are proud to be the first to make a tool for our customers that gives them access to valuable information stored in these devices."
Windows and MacOS X versions are available. Physical acquisition support varies depending on lock state, jailbreak state and the version of iOS installed.
iPhone 4 and older; iPad 1; iPod Touch 1-4: no restrictions, all versions of iOS.
iPhone 4S, 4C, 5, 5C; iPad 2-4, iPad Mini; iPod Touch 4-5: if already jailbroken, or jailbreak can be installed (passcode known or not set).

Here's how The Enquirer describes an Ohio Supreme Court decision allowing Democrats to challenge a ridiculous Republican attempt to unfairly redraw Congressional districts: "Court ruling throws 2012 elections into chaos." Here's the same report by WLWT, minus the drama: "Ohio Supreme Court Allows Redistricting Challenge."
President Obama came to town yesterday, rolled up his sleeves and told a group of 1,500 supporters to tell Congress to get to work on passing his jobs bill. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell reportedly stayed in Washington, called the speech "political theater" and then ate some steaks. These mopes fact-checked the speech, finding that the major points were accurate, including the fact that all McConnell and Boehner really want to do is defeat Obama and eat steaks.
Plans to put a culture tax in front of voters have been put on hold due to a potential conflict with a Cincinnati Zoo tax renewal levy that will be on the 2013 ballot. Backers of the culture tax — a 0.25 percentage-point sales tax increase that would raise $30 million annually — fear that overlapping the tax increase and levy could be confusing and potentially hurt the chances of either to be approved. The culture tax will likely be put on the 2014 ballot.
City Council this fall will consider a new form-based development code that will allow individual neighborhoods to create their own codes that supporters say will reinforce neighborhoods' existing urban fabric while aiding in development. Supporters include the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Cincinnati Inc. "For developers, there is more predictability and basically no battles. And once they know the parameters, (developers) can really turn their creativity loose," David Ginsburg, president and CEO of Downtown Cincinnati Inc., told The Enquirer.
The Enquirer on Sunday checked in on
the state's higher education situation, finding that many recent
college graduates and families of potential college students are
wondering if college is even worth it considering the high cost —
"total student loan debt is nearing $1 trillion, or more than
$20,000 for each graduate" — and lack of guaranteed return —
"government data this year show that fully half of graduates 25 or
younger are either unemployed or working in a job that doesn't use
the skills they learned in college." No word on whether Enquirer-endorsed Gov. John Kasich thinks his kids should skip college and go straight into the service industry.
A record number of participants ran in this year's Flying Pig Marathon over the weekend. The winners were Californian Sergio Reyes, who also won the men's race in 2009, and Rachel Bea, a Kenwood resident.
Joe Biden says he is "comfortable" with same-sex marriage, though he doesn't know the answer to the question of whether a second-term Obama administration would come out in favor of legalizing gay marriage.
Europe's election results have gone and spooked the markets, due to political uncertainty in Greece and the defeat of French President Nicolas Sarkozy by Socialist Francois Hollande.
Vladimir Putin is back in business in Russia, amid protests.
Al-Qaeda has released a video of an elderly American hostage who says he will be killed if President Obama doesn't agree to Al-Qaeda's demands, which include ending military strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.
An ad campaign linking global warming believers to terrorists only lasted a few hours before public outcry forced the Heartland Institute, a libertarian organization funded by a bunch of corporations who don't want to stop polluting the earth, to take them down. One billboard included Ted Kaczynski's mug shot with the words: "I still believe in Global Warming. Do you?"
Poll watch: "Romney polling well with independents as Obama campaign kicks off."
The supermoon was in full effect over the weekend, reportedly "wowing" viewers.
Some Ohio anti-abortion groups apparently didn't learn their lesson from Gov. John Kasich's SB 5 failure, as at least one has broken away from Ohio Right to Life for refusing to endorse HB 125, the "heartbeat bill." Ohio Right to Life believes HB 125 won't withstand a challenge under Roe v. Wade, but Warren County Right to Life wants to spend a lot of time and resources pursuing it anyway. Ohio Right to Life says a successful legal challenge could strengthen the women's choice side, but other groups are expected to join Warren County Right to Life anyway.
"It would be the height of irresponsibly to commit funds they knew were not there," Rhodes said. "I've long criticized various governments for living in dream world.
"This takes it to a whole new level," Rhodes said.
Cincinnati Police arrested more than 20 Occupy Cincinnati protesters last night. Here's a recap of the events, which notes that a parade to honor local billionaire Carl Lindner was scheduled for this morning.
Here's an impressive collection of reports that back up nearly every grievance articulated in its first official press release. The research was done by a young woman in Boston who runs a Congressional watchdog website called C-SPAN geek. You can follow her on Twitter here.
We Are Ohio, the organization that helped repeal SB5 last year, says it will team up with nonpartisan Ohio Voters First to help put on the November ballot a constitutional amendment that would change the way legislative and congressional districts are drawn. The effort is in response to Republican-drawn redistricting maps that attempted to create 12 solidly GOP districts and four Democratic districts. The proposal calls for a nonpartisan commission to redraw legislative and congressional boundaries rather than letting politicians and anyone who gives them money do it.
The University of Cincinnati has released a study showing a considerable economic impact from construction of The Banks. Between construction contractors, new residents and visitors to the area's restaurants, the development reportedly will impact the local economy by more than $90 million a year.
The parent company of Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino will host two informational sessions this week to offer local vendors information on how to bid on contracts for supplies and services the entertainment complex will need. The first takes place 6 p.m. tonight at Bell Events Centre near the casino site at 444 Reading Road, and the second is 9 a.m. Thursday at Great American Ball Park.
The Enquirer on Tuesday reported that the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University have agreed to move the Crosstown Shootout to U.S. Bank Arena for two years in response to last year's massive brawl. NBC Sports today reported that the presents of both universities issued a press release in response, stating that no final decision had been made.
The University of Cincinnati and Xavier University were both surprised to see today's announcement concerning the future of the Crosstown Shootout. While both schools are committed to the future of the Crosstown rivalry, specific discussions are ongoing and no details have been finalized. We look forward to sharing our plans with the community at an appropriate time in the coming weeks.
If it does happen, The Enquirer's Bill Koch says it's reasonable, while Paul Daugherty says that's fine but kind of dumb.
President Obama is finding it rather difficult to even win primaries against nobodies in the South. Not that it's surprise or really matters, though.
Of course, there are reasons for these kinds of returns. Few Democrats are voting in these primaries where Obama faces only token opposition; only protest voters are truly motivated.
There's also the fact that Obama is an underdog to Republican candidate Mitt Romney in the states of Kentucky, Arkansas, and West Virginia; Obama lost all three in 2008 to John McCain.
Another potential factor: Race.
Just when you thought Sarah Palin was super reliable, she goes and backs a Utah Republican incumbent over a tea party supported candidate.
The John Edwards jury entered its fourth day of deliberations today because they need to see more prosecution exhibits.
A white supremacist was sentenced to 40 years in jail by a federal judge for a 2004 package bomb attack that injured a black city administrator in Arizona.
researchers say they can figure out if Bigfoot really existed, if
they can just get one of his hairs.
The film version of On the Road premiered at the Cannes Film Festival today, 55 years after Jack Kerouac's Beat Generation-defining novel was published. London's The Guardian says the "handsome shots and touching sadness don't compensate for the tedious air of self-congratulation in Walter Salles's road movie."
During a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado last night, a gunman walked into a theater, threw tear gas, and opened fire. Police identified James Holmes as the suspect in the shooting. Twelve were killed and at least 50 were wounded. On Twitter, one witness lamented that "there is no dark knight, no hero, that could save us from anything like this."
Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig will learn later this summer if he'll be required to undergo additional training and take the state police exam. Craig and his attorneys yesterday told the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission about his 36 years of policing experience.
This summer, Ohio families will receive health insurance rebates as part of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. The average family will receive $139. In total, Ohioans will be getting back $11.3 million.
Ohio's unemployment rate dropped to 7.2 percent in June, down from 7.3 percent in May. That's the lowest unemployment has been since 2008.
An Ohio Supreme Court task force approved changes that will help prevent racial bias in death penalty cases.
Gov. John Kasich can't get even his own people to agree with him on his tax plan. An Ohio Tea Party group came out against the plan yesterday.
Speaker of the House John Boehner called the issue of Mitt Romney's tax returns a "sideshow" and said that Americans don't care about it. But Romney apparently disagreed with Boehner's perspective in 1994 when he asked then-Senator Ted Kennedy to release his tax returns.
First giant mirrors, then volcanoes. Now, scientists want to use plankton to help fight global warming.
Bill Nye the Science Guy and Creation Museum founder Ken Ham will engage in a so-called "debate" tonight over evolution and biblical creationism, even though the scientific evidence rules out any possibility of Nye losing on the facts of evolution.
Although the scientific evidence is clear, evolution remains a contentious conflict in the United States as religious fundamentalists struggle to reconcile their literal interpretations of religious texts with scientific facts.
The conflict between science and religion is nothing new. In the late 19th century, John William Draper, an American scientist and historian, brought the conflict to the mainstream with his book, History of the Conflict between Religion and Science.
Since then, the conflict has actually expanded to include anti-science pushback from political and business interests over a wide range of issues. Here are four leading examples of today's conflicts as they pit science against everyone else:
Evolution is essentially the foundation of modern biology. It's overwhelmingly supported by modern scientists. Evidence ranges from centuries of scientific observations to similarities in life's genetic and physiological makeup to fossilized records.
"At the heart of evolutionary theory is the basic idea that life has existed for billions of years and has changed over time," notes UC Berkeley's evolution explainer. "Overwhelming evidence supports this fact. Scientists continue to argue about details of evolution, but the question of whether life has a long history or not was answered in the affirmative at least two centuries ago."
In the scientific world, it's silly to dispute the entire concept of evolution. Some, like Nye, question how the world can even make sense to someone without evolution.
"Your world just becomes fantastically complicated when you don't believe in evolution," Nye told Big Think.
Expect more arguments along those lines at Tuesday's "debate," which will be streamed live here.
Global warming
Scientists widely agree global warming is occurring and man-made. In the latest report from the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, scientists said they are at least 95 percent certain that human actions contribute to global warming.
To understand global warming, it's crucial to first differentiate weather and climate. Weather forecasts look at short-term trends in specific areas, like the current local temperature and whether stuff is falling out of the sky in Cincinnati. Climate science looks at huge, long-term trends that span the globe, such as global temperature trends over decades.
When climate science is viewed through the correct scientific lens, the results become practically impossible to reasonably question:
Vaccine safety
The anti-vaccine movement claims vaccines can lead to extreme complications like autism, asthma or diabetes, but the argument is backed by no notable scientific evidence.
In its broad analysis of vaccines and their adverse effects, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found "few health problems are caused by or clearly associated with vaccines." Specifically, the study ruled out connections between vaccines and autism, asthma and diabetes.
That's not to say vaccines are without side-effects. In some occasions, IOM found vaccines can cause allergic reactions, seizures and fainting. But the data did not indicate serious, widespread problems.
Fortunately, both liberals and conservatives mostly reject the idea that vaccines are dangerous. That's good news for everyone's health. If most people doubted the science, the fears could diminish the herd effect that's so important for preventing and combating epidemics.
Safety of genetically modified foods
Despite the sweeping scientific consensus that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are safe, detractors continue rallying against any genetic manipulation in foods.
Major scientific groups have extensively studied GMOs during the decades the technology has been available. The consensus, from groups including the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the American Medical Association and the Royal Society of Medicine, was clear: Genetically modified foods aren't any more harmful than conventional foods.
Even in the extremely anti-GMO Europe, an independent European Commission report found, "The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding technologies."
An even larger study from Italian scientists reached similar conclusions.
In its defense, the anti-GMO movement typically points to a study that initially claimed to find evidence of tumors in rats that consumed genetically modified foods. But the scientific journal that published the study, Food and Chemical Toxicology, actually retracted the findings after deciding they were "inconclusive, and therefore do not reach the threshold of publication."
Given the lack of evidence, it's easy to understand why scientific organizations around the world seem so aligned against the anti-GMO movement:
A misleading advertisement by pro-SB 5 group Building a Better Ohio has been pulled from nearly 30 TV stations, including two in Cincinnati. Here's the original report about Building a Better Ohio splicing the an ad created by We Are Ohio. The Columbus Dispatch's "Ad Watch" had already designated the Building a Better Ohio version as "misleading" because Republican spending cuts are largely to blame for any firefighter layoff decisions local governments are facing.

I watched Rafa play Tsonga. Rafa was way too tired to go for the balls. Made too many UEs too. I think he needs to go home to Spain to recharge his battery.
Interested to see Tsonga play the young Brit tomorrow. He appeared from nowhere to be in the semis.
Thank, y'all. Almost by accident I opened the stream at match point, saw the score & could not believe it was sraight sets! Yeah, however off Rafa was, Tsonga had to be playing some hellacious tennis!

Olga Govortsova/Alla Kudryavtseva (BLR/RUS) WON the Birmingham doubles final. They defeated Italians Errani & Vinci 16 61 10-5 in 58 mins. MOLODYETS!!!
Final played indoors due to rain
Olga Govortsova & Alla Kudryavtseva are the AEGON Classic doubles champions after winning 1-6, 6-1, 10-5 against the Italians Roberta Vinci & Sara Errani.
"It feels great," said Kudryavtseva after the win, "It's our second title this year and we've won both on a super tie-break, we 'like the pressure'."
The Russian & Belarusian combination got off to a bad start but recovered well in the second set before dominating the final set match tie-break.
On a very rainy day at Edgbaston Priory Club the match was moved indoors and it seemed to benefit the Italians more in the early exchanges.
"It took us a little bit of time to get used to [the courts]," continued Govortsova. "We played like we'd been playing all week [on the grass] and 1-6. But then we made a couple of changes and it worked out good for us."
The third seeds seemed comfortable with the higher bouncing ball and were impressive as they won the first set 6-1.
After two tight games at the start of set two it was the second seeds who made the break through and carried the momentum forward to win the second 6-1.
Which meant the final would be decided on a match tie-break and it was Govortsova & Kudryavtseva who took the early initiative, holding a 3-1 lead.
The Italians refused to give up without a fight and struck back to level the breaker at five all before the Russian/Belarusian duo won the last five points in a row.
In an entertaining rally on the first match point an Italian forehand went wide and Govortsova & Kudryavtseva had won their second title of 2011.
Next week the pair will compete in Holland, where Kudryavtseva is the reigning doubles champion. "I'm defending the title in Holland so Olga better bring her A game," joked a smiling Kudryavtseva as she held the trophy.

As my wife and I sit here watching
, one of our new favorite shows on MTV, I can't help but wonder a few things. First, how do these people fall in love over the internet with someone they've never met? Second, why does everyone complain that MTV doesn't show music videos anymore? Doesn't anyone remember those things? They weren't very good and this reality stuff is way better. On this particular show, the host finds people involved in these internet relationships who have never met face-to-face and arranges for them to finally meet in real life. Inevitably, one of them is always keeping some huge secret that will no doubt ruin the relationship once it's brought into the open. And the other person is so laughably naive and desperate that they don't see the obvious truth about their bogus relationship even though it's annoyingly clear to everyone on the outside looking in.
It's hard to believe that something like this could ever happen to a star athlete, especially one the caliber of Manti Ta'o. Manti's story dominated headlines when the world first learned that he lost his grandmother and his girlfriend on the same day. But after that story helped keep Manti and Notre Dame in the national spotlight all season, even landing him a seat at the Heisman Award Ceremony, we found out it wasn't real. At least the girlfriend part wasn't, the grandma part seems to check out. After this most recent revelation the sports universe immediately took sides. Some believed that Manti was duped into a phony relationship by someone online posing as someone they're not. Others believed that Manti was in on the whole thing and proceeded to make countless jokes on social media sites that were only semi-funny at best.
Whichever side you're on, you have to understand that things are drastically different for the younger generation than they've ever been before. In the last ten years the world of social media has taken over. You ask "How can you love someone that you've never met in real life?" But for young people today, the internet IS real life. Texting and direct messaging accounts for 99% of their interactions with each other. It's hard to understand because it's not how you grew up, it's not how you met your spouse. But the fact is that online relationships are extremely prevalent in our society, some real and some not. And it's not hard to believe that a college athlete was involved in one. We're at a point where college kids have spent most of their lives online. They can't remember a time when the internet wasn't a way of life. College athletes aren't any different just because they're athletes. So what if Manti's telling the truth? What if he really suffered through the death of his girlfriend on an emotional level, then found out it was all a lie? And now he can't turn on a radio or the TV. without hearing about it over and over, isn't that pretty heavy for a 22 year old? Are the jokes still as funny?
The only thing anyone can take from this is that we all need to be careful. Every episode of Catfish ends similarly. Sometimes the two people develop a friendship and sometimes they don't, but they never find love. So young people need to be careful about putting their trust into a computer screen, because you never really know what's on the other end. And the rest of us need to be careful about how quick we rush to judgment of younger people. Remember, it's a different world now. And just as the generations ahead of you didn't understand your bell bottoms or horrible music taste, you'll never fully understand this generation's skinny jeans, horrible music taste, or online relationships. But just because you don't get understand them doesn't make them not real. Except sometimes...when they aren't real.

Simipour clearly has stiff competition when compared to the numerous other Water-types in UU. Luckily, it does stand out in a few areas: there's the obvious Nasty Plot (which it shares with no other Water-type bar Slowking), its good Speed stat that enables it to outspeed a lot of important Pokemon in UU, and its effective attacking movepool. Unfortunately, Simipour's frailty means even neutral attacks will take huge chunks of its HP, making switching in throughout the game a challenge, especially when you add Life Orb recoil and entry hazard damage to the equation. Generally, Simipour is a lesser option, but one would be mistaken to discount it as a threat.
Simipour's good Speed and usable Special Attack stat make boosting with Nasty Plot its most reliable option for sweeping. After a Nasty Plot boost, it can comfortably outspeed and OHKO many prominent Pokemon in UU, including but not limited to Hitmontop, Zapdos, Milotic, and certain variants of Mismagius. To put the icing on the cake, Simipour has access to Hydro Pump, which, after STAB, Life Orb, and a Nasty Plot boost, will do a heap of damage to most targets that doesn't resist it. Ice Beam and Grass Knot are used to cover Grass- and Water-type opponents, respectively.
For a more reliable option in terms of accuracy, Surf can be Simipour's main attack instead of Hydro Pump, but note it can sometimes fall short of several potential kills. For example, a neutral-natured 252 HP Uxie has a high chance of being OHKOed by Hydro Pump (94.0% - 111%), while Surf fails to OHKO without some prior damage (74.8% - 88.4%). The bottom line is this: your choice of a Water-type STAB move comes down to whether you favor reliability and are confident in your ability to provide entry hazard support, or prefer a more immediately powerful option at the cost of accuracy.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Looking at Simipour's stats, one would think it would make an equally good physical attacker. However, Hone Claws and Work Up, its two physical boosting moves, are not nearly as effective as Nasty Plot, and there are generally better physical Water-types available, such as Feraligatr, Azumarill, and Sharpedo. If you still want to run a physical set, Waterfall and Return alongside Low Kick (for Empoleon) provide great coverage. Likewise, a mixed set with Work Up is an option, but Simipour prefers investing all its EVs into one stat so it can hit as hard as possible. Taunt is a good move, but is similarly hard to fit on a set. Choice items could work on Simipour, but it's inadvisable for it to run sets that force it to switch constantly because of its general frailty.
Simipour's Dream World ability, Torrent, would be preferred over Gluttony in most cases considering Simipour finds itself with low HP quite often and the boost could be very helpful. However as it is only available from an event that released male Panpour, it is illegal with Nasty Plot, which is a breeding move. The stat boosting Berries also can work quite well on Simipour; Gluttony allows it to consume the Berries at 50% health, meaning you won't need to drop an attacking move for Substitute if you give it a Salac Berry. With a +1 Speed boost, only Pokemon with Speed boosts of their own will outspeed Simipour. Still, Life Orb will be missed for its ability to OHKO Suicune and Milotic after a Nasty Plot.
Checks and Counters
If Simipour manages to boost with Nasty Plot, few Pokemon can actually stop it from destroying the opposing team. Empoleon is a perfect counter since it's only neutral to Grass Knot, although it must watch out for Focus Blast. For a more offensive approach, the easiest way to beat Simipour is to revenge kill it with the long list of Pokemon that are faster than it and have a moderately powerful attack, common examples being Raikou and Choice Scarf Heracross. Finally, entry hazards and Life Orb wear down Simipour severely, so opponents can expect the water monkey to go down quickly if it is stalled out.

Grey's Anatomy Caption Contest XIXby Steve Marsi at .
Another week, another Caption Contest complete. This week's was certainly quality in terms of responses received, and picking one winner was a tall order. Manuela's scathing indictment of Addy, Rebecca's conspiracy theory, Nicole K.'s witty punch line and Justin's long-winded, highly amusing dialogue were all worthy efforts and given consideration.
Ultimately, though, we're going with SR as this week's winner. Something about this short and sweet caption just stood out.
Check out the winning entry beneath the picture below. Scroll down to see the full list of responses. Thanks so much to everyone who submitted one or more replies, and be sure to take another shot this week! If we get enough submissions, we'll start giving out prizes (CDs, other merchandise) once the season starts. Thanks again and best of luck!
"Richard, I think one affair a season is enough for us."

Chief: Good work Addison! I am glad that I called you to keep Derek away from Meredith.
Addison: No problemo! I am the Queen! Derek is so easy! He even invited me to that prom thing last night. I can't wait though for Mark to get back in town so I can have some wild fun.
Chief: Maybe I will offer Mark a job at the hospital.
Addison: Perfect! I am getting so tired of trailer living.
Chief: Ok, well I got to go, someone left a pair of black panties in an exam room and I am running a DNA analysis to kick their irresponsible butts out of the hospital.

BABYBJÖRN Little Potty - White
" I bought this potty to keep in our van to use on the go. I love it's small size and how easy it is for my tiny toddler to sit on. The one piece design is nice as well and you don't have to take it apart to clean it if not all the potty makes it into the bowl. It is a little bit of a pain to dump out though, especially for poop.

Have Caryatids, Will Travel: Karl Friedrich Schinkel's Architecture in Motion
When an unknown ancient craftsman first decided to substitute a sculpted female body for a load-bearing column, a curiously contradictory element entered the architectural vocabulary: a "caryatid" is a fixed, structural member who, by virtue of her human form and gesture, suggests a capacity for movement.
Such figures appeared only rarely during antiquity, yet the nineteenth century witnessed a surge in the caryatid's popularity, with female architectural supports popping-up across European cities from London to Berlin. By following a sequence of these 'modern' caryatids – copied, modified, multiplied and re-deployed in the projects of Karl Friedrich Schinkel – Steven Lauritano considers how and why this particular motif contributed to the Prussian architect's conception of historicist design.

Timothy Lamar Hutchinson, 26, of Anniston, allegedly took his 43-year-old ex-girlfriend's 2000 Honda Accord on Jan. 28 after the two had an argument, Anniston Sgt. Chris Sparks said. The woman reported the stolen car to police immediately after the theft. Hutchinson was discovered driving the car in Oxford the same day, Sparks said.
Oxford police attempted to pull Hutchinson over, but he fled in the vehicle, Oxford Lt. L.G. Owens said. Owens said Hutchinson also has active warrants for his arrest on charges of third-degree domestic violence and second-degree criminal mischief.
The police pursuit ended near 15th Street and Noble Street in Anniston, Sparks said, when Hutchinson left the vehicle and ran from police. The car was left with two flat tires after the chase, Sparks said. Hutchinson's identity was later determined through a police investigation and he was subsequently charged on Friday, the sergeant said.
Hutchinson was in the Calhoun County Jail on Monday afternoon, Sparks said, with bond set at $12,000. A court date is scheduled for March 7.

Neighborhoods: The Quorum
Remaining a Customer – Too bad about the 'lost customer'... I am a full time resident of the area and always enjoy the food, atmosphere, and waitstaff at Coach's. Relaxed, friendly place.
Lost a customer – I have been to Coache's about six times in the last six months, so I'm not a "regular" there. The food is good, good value, pretty open atmosphere, good place to watch a game. But went there tonight with my wife, the place was very packed. They offered us a table with stools that wobbled so bad I almost fell off. So they offered us a table that seats 4. We placed our order, then a large group (six) walked in and the manager/owner guy said "I'm going to have to put you at another table" -- which was a very small wrought iron garden table he brought in from outside. So, I'm a paying customer, sitting at a table they offered me, then this guy wants to push us over to a small, dirty little table that is not meant for dining. So I said, "that's okay, we'll just leave." And the owner guy says "Leave, I don't care".....So, I won't spend any more of my money there. Too bad for me I guess, too bad the owner has no consideration for seated, paying customers.

Environmental Commitment
Killington Resort continues to implement innovative energy conservation measures and environmental management practices to reduce energy consumption and the effects of climate change.
Our Mission
To exceed customer expectations, be innovative, profitable and environmentally responsible.
Environmental Partnerships
- Efficiency Vermont
- Green Mountain Power
- Casella Resource Solutions
- The Marble Valley Regional Transportation District
- National Ski Areas Association
In 2012, Killington created the Go Green Team to help raise awareness of our Resorts' commitment to rethink, reduce, reuse and recycle.
Questions? Ideas? Email Killington Go Green Team for more information.
Environmental Programs
Killington Resort continues to strive to be more energy efficient, reduce its carbon footprint and empower small, sustainable energy suppliers.
Cow Power
Killington Resort is enrolled in the Cow Power program, a completely local form of renewable energy made in Vermont. Staying with Vermont tradition of buying local, the K-1 Express Gondola will be powered solely by manure from local dairy farms. In the process, this reduces greenhouse emissions produced by cows and expands the use of the readily available, renewable resource in Vermont.
- In 2012, we purchased 300,000 kilowatt hours of Cow Power to run the K-1 Express Gondola year round.
- For 2013-14, we are purchasing additional kilowatt hours that will allow both the K-1 Express Gondola and the new Peak Lodge to run on Cow Power.
Freeaire Refrigeration
- Since 2007, Killington Resort has converted 12 walk-in coolers to Freeaire Refrigeration.
- Freeaire, a Vermont-based company, created and installs systems that use cold, outside air to refrigerate coolers instead of using high energy consuming compressors to cool stored food.
- Retrofitting all of the coolers here at Killington Resort with the Freeaire system has greatly reduced energy usage, and has reduced CO2 emissions by 13.2 tons a year.
Paper Products
From paper towels to facial tissues, we're making sure all of our product choices are environmentally responsible.
- In 2012-13, Killington used close to 50,000 pounds of 100% recycled, third-party certified Tork paper products.
- The use of this recycled product saves approximately 175,000 gallons of water, 75 cubic yards of landfill space, 102,000 kilowatt hours, 1,500 pounds of air polluntants, 9,500 gallons of fuel oil, and 424 trees.
Forest Stewardship Ccouncil Certified Paper for Printed Collateral
FSC works to improve forest management worldwide, and through certification creates an incentive for forest owners and managers to follow best social and environmental practices. The growing demand for FSC certified products tells forest owners that businesses and consumers prefer products from well managed forests.
- Since 2009, both the Killington Resort trail maps and guest guides have been printed on FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) paper.
Renewable Energy Credits
Since 2008, Killington offsets most of our electricity use through the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), while Powdr Corp as a whole offsets more than 100% through REC.
- Killington Resort has purchased over 107 million kilowatt hours of RECs, which has eliminated more the 66,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions – an amount equal to the emissions produced by 7,466 average homes.
- Killington's commitment of RECs is the largest of any resort in the East.
Sustainable Slopes Member
Since 2011, Killington Resort has been a member of the National Ski Area Associations Sustainable Slopes program.
- This program provides an overarching framework for ski areas on sustainability and enhanced environmental performance.
The Marble Valley Regional Transportation District
Killington Resort is the largest private contributor to "The Bus" - The Marble Valley Regional Transportation District. The Killington Region Transit Expansion Plan was a proactive response to the Village Master Plan proposed in 1998 to reduce traffic impacts to the region.
- Current ridership for the region exceeds 800,000 one way trips, with resort related trips exceeding 375,000, of which 75,000 are commuter and employee related - which continues to increase each year.
- The combined efforts of the state, the resort and regional business supports the nearly a $1 million operating budget of "The Bus".
- The objective is to reduce the dependence on the automobile, drastically reducing emissions in the region and to creating a pedestrian friendly village that is contiguous to the surrounding community.
Water Conservation
The source of snowmaking water has been supplemented by the use of the Woodward Reservoir.
- This conservation measure has allowed the historical flows in local streams to be maintained, and in some cases increased, to insure protection for aquatic species.
- At the same time the snowmaking water supply can now support future growth without impacts to natural resources.
- In addition, the cold water pulled from the depths of Woodward Reservoir reduces the need to power cooling plants at the resort prior to pumping water through the snowmaking system.
Additional water conservation measures have been achieved through an innovative design to use recycled waste water systems throughout restroom facilities at our six base lodges.
- This saves up to 30,000 gallons of fresh water a day during peak usage and will be expanded in the future.
Zero-Sort Recycling
In 2008, Killington Resort partnered with Casella Resource Solutions in a zero-sort recycling program. No sorting on our end makes it easier to recycle, putting more of our stuff back into the world and less into landfills.
- Zero-Sort Recycling makes it easier for our customers to recycle, promoting greater participation in recycling by eliminating their need to sort materials.
- From December 2012 through March 2013, Killington Resort recycled 73 tons of waste through the zero-sort program which equates to taking 652 cars off the road during those four months.

Bill Clinton: Who wants a president who will knowingly lie to them?
**Written by Doug Powers
Just something to alleviate any Election Day tension that may be accumulating. I expected the biggest laugh in the last 48 hours of the campaign to come from Joe Biden — and it still might (the day is young) — but to fill the time, here's Bill Clinton campaigning for Obama in Philadelphia yesterday:
"You're laughing, but who wants a president who will knowingly, repeatedly tell you something he knows is not true?" Clinton asked, after discounting a claim in a recent Romney ad that the Obama administration's auto bailout hurt American workers.
"When I was a kid, if I got my hand caught in the cookie jar, where it wasn't supposed to be, I turned red in my face, and I took my hand out of the cookie jar," Clinton added.
After the cookie jar incident Clinton had a compunction-ectomy performed at a local clinic so those pangs of conscience could never come knocking again.

Live at the 2008 Litchfield Jazz Festival Photo By Antonio Monteiro
Nicole Zuraitis, a native of Litchfield, CT, began attending the Litchfield Jazz Camp at age 12. Midwest Records hails Nicole as having "a unique leg up on the field with her lighter than air voice and her understanding and appreciation of the lyrics...this is a singer we can enjoy now and keep an eye on for the future." Zuraitis is a recent New York University graduate (2007), receiving her bachelor of music in vocal performance, and has been pursuing an active, diverse and successful music career ever since. She has been a voice instructor for the Litchfield Jazz Camp since 2005, and debuted live on the Main Stage at the 2008 Litchfield Jazz Festival on August 2nd, right on the heels of the release of her debut record "Nicole Zuraitis; Spread the Word". Her CD was recorded with fellow teaching artists of the Litchfield Jazz Camp; Winard Harper, Luques Curtis and Zaccai Curtis. Nicole won First Place in the New York City National Association of Teachers of Singing Vocal Competition, CTLIVE Music Artist Spotlight Winner of August 2008, and most recently has begun collaborating with her fellow musicians on a new recording project of her original compositions. Her music bridges the gap between straight ahead jazz to neo-soul and blues, and her diversity extends all the way to her roots as a classical singer. NBC-30 CT sums up Nicole's performing in one word: "Amazing".

I found this site while trying to find some online music as my regular site (WCRB out of Boston)is changing or upgrading their online streaming. I really like this site except for the ballgame. I heard some great music I haven't heard in years! Although I commend this station for supporting their local sports teams I do not want to listen to a ballgame over the internet.
Earlier I saw an option to pay for commercial free streaming and no longer see it. Is it still there? And if it is do we still get the ballgame or is it replaced with some of this great music?
Thank you.

Twin mattresses can accommodate one child or one adult sleeper although the length of the mattress might be too short for an adult. Twin size mattresses are used for children's rooms, bunk beds, daybeds and smaller spaces such as guest bedrooms.
Twin XL 39"x80"Twin XL mattresses are great space savers and are commonly found in dorm rooms and offer an additional five inches of length to your sleeping space.
Full 54"x75"Full or double mattresses provide more width for your sleeping area. A full size mattress is ideal for one person. If you divided the mattress in half two people would only have 27 inches of sleep space (or the equivalent of a crib mattress).
Queen 60"x80"If you prefer more living space in your master bedroom, a queen size might be what you are looking for. Also, queen mattresses are ideal for someone who likes additional width and height while sleeping; which makes it a great choice for growing children and taller adults.
King 76"x80"If you have the space in your bedroom, a king size mattress is the best choice for couples; you each have a sleeping service equivalent to a twin extra long mattress. It is also great for growing families or pet owners.
California King 72"x84"If you are looking for additional length in your sleep surface, a California King might be what is right for you. Four inches of width are taken from a traditional king mattress and added to the length.
FIRMFirm mattresses offer the least surface "give" and would be considered harder in feel to the other mattress surfaces. If you like a solid feel rather than soft, firm may be your choice.PLUSHPlush mattresses offer more surface "give" and provide a softer surface comfort. This is a happy balance between firm and pillow top.PILLOW TOPPillow Top mattresses provide the ultimate in surface comfort and firmness, cradling and supporting your every move with pillow like softness while you sleep.CONTOUREDContoured mattresses provide pressure relieving support by conforming to your body. It is firm where you need it and soft where you want it.PERSONALIZEDPersonalized mattresses are customized to your unique body type and sleep needs.
A low profile foundation is 4.5" to 5.5" in height and is helpful if a high profile (standard) foundation causes your bed to be difficult to get into and out of easily. A low profile foundation can also help your mattress from covering a low headboard.
A high profile (standard profile) is 8" to 9" in height and is the most common height used for a foundation.

HIGHLAND PARK, MI (My TV20 News at 10) --- Water continues flowing around the city, but, it does not come from Highland Park.
The city now gets its water from Detroit.
It's part of a temporary agreement while Highland Park decides how to pay for improvements to its Water Treatment Plant.
Mayor DeAndre Windom announced the deal Monday morning, and explained his decision to shutdown the plant.
Plus, Windom unveiled a new advisory board to discuss how to raise the money for the repairs, and how to run the plant.
City, county, and state representatives make up the board.
The mayor did not say how much is needed to repair the plant, but, several reports estimate the amount to be at least $10 million.
Windom also did not say how the shutdown of the plant will affect Highland Park financially.

Leaders from across the Commonwealth are meeting for the Smart Beginnings Leader Institute.
The institute helps teachers involved in early-childhood education learn from each other by sharing ideas and experiences.
Organizers say there is a gap in early-childhood education, and teachers need to learn new skills and techniques.
"This is very hands-on," says John Thomas with the Early Childhood Foundation. "They're in there right now sharing with each other, what are the barriers in my community, and others are saying, that used to be a barrier for us, we figured out how to deal with that."
The seven-month program is hosted by the Early Childhood Foundation.
