This ? comes up from time to time . Although many will argue for the 12ga , the 20ga has more than enough energy and stopping power for HD.
Let me put it another way. A 2&3/4" 20ga #3 buckshot delivers about twice the energy as a 357 magnum. Is that enough ? It is for me .

Very well actually and it is a good choice for women who are usually more recoil sensitive. You throw much more lead per shot than any handgun.
In addition, with buckshot, you reduce the problem of over penetration into neighboring buildings as well compared to a .357 for instance.
In fact, I have two 20 ga shotguns that I got years ago to teach my kids how to shoot. They now serve me well as my bedside guns. No problem with a 20 ga at all for home defense.

Yes, with buckshot or slugs.

If a 20 gauge with buckshot doesn't stop someone you're in some serious trouble.
December 25, 2012, 12:55 AM
I seen this show where they shot 12ga & 20ga side by side. Both did great,wasnt til target was 50+ yards away. That the 12ga really shined. The 12ga would slug shot 100yards no problem. But for sd/hd,shouldnt be a problem

A 20 will do fine providing you do your part.
Just like owning a guitar doesn't make you Hendrix, owning a shotgun doesn't make you Awerbuck.

Try a 20 ga with buck-shot on a watermellon. Enough said.
December 25, 2012, 10:36 AM
A .410 with proper loads in the hands of someone that knows how to use it is fine. Any shotgun loaded with proper loads will work (don't use bird shot).

Yes, more then adequate. I have been preaching the 20 for HD for years. HD distances are in feet not yards so the light loads of a 20ga take nothing away from your ability to protect yourself. I am not wrong on this one as a perp with a load of #3 buck from a 20ga in his chest is as "Shotgun Dead" as a perp with a load of 00 from a 12ga.
December 25, 2012, 11:53 AM
A 20 is fine, but if you're expecting less recoil for your mom and brother you may be surprised to find that they are about the same as a 12. When fired from guns of equal weight the 20 will recoil less but most 20's are considerably lighter.
A 12 guage 870 is one lb. heavier than the same gun in 20 guage. Run the numbers through a recoil calgulator program such as this. http://www.handloads.com/calc/recoil.asp and you will find that with common loads the 20 has slightly more recoil than the 12. Even with lighter payloads.
I personally find the 12 to be more versatle with far more options for loads, including reduced recoil loads that will truly get recoil down to more manageable levels. You can always shoot 20 guage equivalent loads through the 12. You buy the lighter 20 guage gun for carrying miles each day while hunting in rough terrain, not for recoil reduction.
December 25, 2012, 12:10 PM
One would think will all of the people who are REALLY ready for one, there would be some empirical data about any kind of home invasion and shotguns.
In any event I would think a 20 would be fine. I risk my life daily going to bed without a pistol grip, extended magazine, breacher attachment, short barrel, rail, or light.
December 25, 2012, 05:11 PM
can all 12 gauge shotguns shoot 20 gauge loads? I've been looking at the Mossberg 500 mostly.
December 25, 2012, 05:24 PM

A 12 ga cannot shoot a 20 ga shell. If you are hand loading, it is easy to load a lighter 7/8 oz shell that is equivalent to a 20ga, but they are not interchangeable.
December 25, 2012, 05:27 PM
A couple of notes,
first a 20 GA buckshot load is very similar in overall performace to these "low recoil" 12 GA loads.
second, while it is true that most 20 GA shotguns are built on smaller frames than their 12 GA brothers and ar therefore lighter, there are some exceptions, such as older full size frame 20GA Remington 870's built before the mid 1970's
p.s. one more note for smaller framed people often a smaller frame gun will work better, particularly things like the Mossberg Bantum sized guns as they have shorter throws on the pump action which can be an issue for people with short arms.
December 25, 2012, 05:49 PM
Simple answer - yes it is
December 25, 2012, 06:20 PM

He said a 12 ga can shoot 20 ga equivalent loads, i.e. loads with 20 ga weights of shot, not that it can literally shoot 20 ga ammuniton, because it can't be done.

Yes, the 20 has adequate stopping power. I would say it has better stopping power than any handgun likely to be used, and 2 and 3 buck are available from major manufacturers.
No, one 20 gauge (presumably pump) shared by 2 persons will not stop a home invasion.
If you are expecting a home invasion, you need (2) .223 carbines and the requisite skills to use them--and 2 handguns for backup, among other things.
And a piece of gratuitous info: 20 gauges with aluminum frames do not kick! I had my Maverick HD out shooting buckshot 10 days after I had my gall bladder whacked with no discomfort at all. I would not have dared to shoot a 12 gauge.
December 25, 2012, 10:01 PM
These folks make some interesting 20 ga buckshot ammo:
The van has a Remington 870 Youth 20 ga w/ 21" bbl, full choke, an extended magazine, & a Pachmayr pistol grip cut down to fit the 20 ga frame. It recoils far less than issue 12 ga 00 buck from a 17" Mossberg 500 the Navy had me qualify on. With #3 buck, I have 140 chances to hit my target.
If one is expecting a home invasion, go to someone else's house. A 20 ga shotgun w/ buckshot is sufficient to repel anyone not wearing body armor.
December 25, 2012, 10:02 PM
It's wise to know the actual performance of your intended defensive ammunition. Properly selected .357 HPs have less penetration at close range than 00 buckshot. Same with Foster slugs: despite what most people "know", Foster slugs at close range penetrate less than 00 buck. I mean, why actually look up tests done by professionals when we can just claim to know how the loads perform! :rolleyes:
20 is enough power, but in a lightweight gun, will still kick.

Well, in a way, yes it can be - with a breech-loader - i.e., SxS or O/U, and using subgauge tubes, you can fire 20 gauge ammo out of a 12 gauge gun; but that is not where this thread was intending to go.
I shoot the equal of a 28 gauge load (3/4oz) out of both my 12 and 20 gauge guns - this lets me save on reloading components and allows me to shoot a lot more with a lot less recoil
December 26, 2012, 03:05 PM
Federal's premium #4 buckshot holds 24 pellets, each 0.25" diameter. I'd say it's plenty :uhoh:
20 gauge shells fire the same pellets at the same velocity, just less of them per pull of the trigger.
December 26, 2012, 06:57 PM
+1 to 12Bravo20.
If recoil is a problem, a .410 bore shotgun with the new "Judge" .410 loads is a good alternative to either a 12 or 20 gauge.
December 26, 2012, 07:56 PM
No matter what gauge you choose (12, 16, 20, 28, .410) practice shooting your shotgun with the loads you are going to use. I don't feel under gunned with my .410 one bit (reload my own 5 pellet 00 buck in 3 inch shells)
I can out-shoot most of my friends with my .410 versus their 12's but I also practice a lot. As the saying goes: practice makes perfect.

IIRC in the early 1990s there was an article in a police magazine where some police and sheriff's departments armed their female officers with 20 gauge Remington 870s. They used the youth stock on some and found them very effective. The only reason they went back to the 12 gauge was so they would not have a problem with different ammo. Imagine one officer with a 20 have to give some ammo to an officer with a 12 or vice versa. The 20 is quite effective in home defense. I have been considering a left handed model for my wife.
December 27, 2012, 01:38 PM
a 20 gauge will do just fine as a home defence gun
a 410 will do a fine job also.
get a pump, the sound alone, of you racking a shell will send most hommies running
i personaly like the mossburg 300-a 12 g pump with a pistol grip
it will do the deal
December 27, 2012, 02:21 PM
The 20g will be better than any handgun, hands down.
However, IF you are going to 20 to reduce recoil, you are likely to be in for a surprise. As the 20g guns are very often lighter, your felt recoil will be as great as, if not more than the same gun in 12g.
Also, you have a lot more flexibility of the loads you shoot in a 12 over a 20, including reduced recoil loads. I can't recall ever seeing them in 20g.
December 29, 2012, 10:25 PM
As someone that's been giving this *a lot* of thought, I'd like to add my .02. Take it with a grain of salt because I'm a total newb, but I'm a newb that's read quite a bit over the past few months lol.
So the 20g 870 is about a pound lighter than the 12g 870 when new. That does bring the 20g recoil closer to the recoil you get with the 12g, BUT I think it's important to keep in mind that the lighter 20g seems to 'handle' better than the heavier 12g for me, and it's ALWAYS possible to add weight to the 20g to get it up to 12g weight. For home defense a lot of people want to add a light on the front, and adding weight to the stock is no problem either.
I really like the way the short-barrel, extended tube 20g 870 feels. Still, after tons of thought I'll probably end up with a 12g semi-auto as my all-around gun just because there's SO MUCH 12g ammo and so many varieties out there. It's not set in stone, that's just where I'm leaning now. Still, I can easily see myself being happy with a 20g too.
December 29, 2012, 10:44 PM
A 45-70 which killed millions of Buffalo launched a 500gr bullet @1500 fps. The 20 ga has a 480gr slug at 1250fps. It will do the job :cool:
December 30, 2012, 01:55 AM
Your statement about the weight 20 GA 870's vs 12 GA 870's is true is you add words "current production", as the 20 GA 870 has came in 3 distinct frames, the original full size from 20GA which weighed about the same as the 12GA (Same frame), the LT and the LW. (I think, but am not sure that the current 20GA is the same as the 20GA LW frame). As far as ammo selection goes, there is less choices for 20GA, but that still many types to choose from, probably dozens of viable defensive shot loads alone, and probaby dozens of different slug options also.
December 30, 2012, 02:29 AM
If it was me, I would find someone who loads for 20 ga, and have them make me a case of #4 buck.
December 30, 2012, 03:02 AM
There is some overlap between 20 ga and 12 ga recoil, but in reality, the 12 ga can generate nearly double the recoil between the two.
I taught my 12 yo kids to shoot a 20 ga and it didn't bother them much at all. They were not as big as an average woman. The recoil should not be much of a factor for most people.
In addition, the risk of over penetration with a .357 for instance is not as much. Buckshot should not be able to go through an inside wall to an outside wall to your neighbors outside wall to an inside wall. I have two by my bed and my .357 but I hope I would reach first for the 20 ga. More lead, more knock down power, easy to point and shoot and less worry of over penetration since we live in a condo.
December 30, 2012, 07:39 AM
No need for buck shot at HD ranges. Out in the grouse woods my 20ga with 7/8 oz of #8 has taken down saplings as big as my wrist at 5 yards when they jumped up and got between me and the bird. ;)
December 30, 2012, 08:01 AM
Theoretical stopping power? Sure no problem, it will do the job.
Now, unload the shotgun before you go to bed tonight. Put it where ever you are going to keep it. Set your alarm for 2:17 a.m. When the alarm goes off tomorrow morning, bolt out of bed, grab your empty shotgun, cycle an imaginary round, remember to move the safety to fire, and make it to your front door in less than 2 seconds without tripping over anything, or having the shotgun hang up on anything.
Seriously, give it a try.
Would you under those conditions be able to discern an intruder from the family dog, or one of your kids?
Would you be ready to fire before an intruder could deduce the location of someone to take hostage?
Is a 20 gauge with buckshot safer to fire indoors than a .357? Take a couple of pieces of 1/2" drywall to the range with you and shoot at them from 2-3 yards, with a watermelon 2 yards behind them. You tell us what you think.
December 30, 2012, 10:20 AM
Works just fine for HD.
bubba in ca
December 30, 2012, 10:28 AM
My shotgun is not unloaded--ever. It is in its own safe in the bedroom with the key in the lock at night.
My shotgun does not go to the front door, at least not to go thru the door. Anything outside the house is a hunker down and call the police item.
Stray rounds are a concern--that`s why a long gun is the ultimate HD gun--given like training, the chance of hitting the perp is at least double with a long gun compared to a handgun. Handguns are for CC, in your own house carry a weapon. Everything worth shooting can over-penetrate.
Identifying your target applies to any firearm. And the gun is not the first defense--our first defense happens to be motion lights and burglar bars on all windows and doors. The shotgun is the backup to the burglar bars and the revolver is the backup to the shotgun!

IMHO the shooter is the most important factor in the equation. If the shooter can manage it, a 20 gauge will definitely do the job. But there are no magic wands where home defense/self defense firearms are concerned. The SHOOTER has to be able to run the gun and get hits. That takes training and practice.
The question is, how much experience/training/practice do all the expected defenders in the household really have? Are they ready and able to use a shotgun, if needed? If not, would it be easier to teach them to use a shotgun, or something else that might be easier for a beginning shooter, like a pistol caliber carbine?
I don't know the answers, but those are some of the questions I'd be asking...
December 30, 2012, 10:41 PM
Long answer: It's more about the indian than the arrow.
Short answer: 20 Gauge is a damned fine arrow.

December 31, 2012, 01:28 PM
The 20 gauge shotgun is more than adequate for home defense. I just bought myself a Mossberg SA20 - 20 gauge semiautomatic shotgun in an 18 inch barrel. I used 2 and 3 buck and the grouping was surprisingly large of about 8 inches at 7 yards. My Benelli Tactical 12 gauge grouped very nicely of about 2 1/2 inches at 7 yards with 00 buck.
January 1, 2013, 10:08 AM
Honestly, 20 gauge is more than adequate for home defense. I have a 12 gauge that serves multiples purposes and I feel is too much for home defense. If I were buying a shotgun for home defense ONLY, I'd look for a .410. If you're blasting away inside the house, you're less likeley to accidently kill someone in the next room with a .410.
Then there's the argument that long guns aren't the right choice for home defense because as you're coming out a door or around a corner, the barrel comes first and could be grabbed by the intruder. I'm not about to shoot from the hip with my shotgun, it would be shouldered if needed so that barrel tip is at least a foot and a half in front of me. My shotgun is my second choice in my home, my .38 revolver is my go to gun.
Which brings us to the next idea. What about combining the two, a .410 gauge shotgun in a revolver platform.

For inside the home distances a 20 Ga. is a very good choice. Did you ever see what #3 buckshot does to a mellon shot out of a 20Ga. short barreled shotgun in real life in the home distances of 12 to 15 feet. I do not agree with the use of a 410 Ga. for HD. I do not think it will stop a BG who could be hyped up on who knows what.
January 1, 2013, 09:31 PM
I have a 20 gauge and I'll tell you,I would not like to be on the business end of my Beretta with those 3'' shells with no. 2 buck at 10-15' no sir ! or any load really,even some light bird shot will wreak havoc on a human.Try some test shots on some 1/2' or even some 3/4" plywood and youll see the damage and patterns.And most home defence situations will be at very close ranges.I would say that a Judge Taurus with the .410 loads are adequate also.
January 25, 2013, 06:24 PM
A 20 is probably better than a 12 for inside use and handling and has plenty of power for that use. The problem may be that there are FAR fewer "tactical" accessories and defensive ammo choices for 20 gauges.
January 26, 2013, 08:41 AM
When you do YOUR part, the 20-ga will perform its part.
Or has been said, 'tis the Indian, not the arrow.
January 26, 2013, 10:19 AM
It's still a .62 cal shoulder fired weapon, which is no slouch. Weighs less, recoils less than a 12. The loads in a 20 are similar to Reduced Recoil 12 loads, which are common these days.
The standard buckshot load of 20 pellets of #3 (.25 cal) @ 1200fps is a nearly perfect home defense load, IMO. Pellets are bigger than #4, widely considered the minimum size, and there are 20 of them.
January 26, 2013, 10:26 AM
there are a lot of choices for ammo, at least there "were"... that include how much powder is loaded and thus are lower recoil. For shooting clays, I bought my wife a 20ga mini bantam and several cases of low recoil shot.
I'm not sure if there are low-recoil buck or slug shells, slug by the nature of the weight of the bullet is alway going to have some recoil though.
You could also consider a recoil reducing shotgun which has a shock absorber in the stock. Fitting the shotgun to the person (length of pull) should be an important consideration as well as what has already been recommended.
January 26, 2013, 10:26 AM
Yes a 20 Gauge Is enough For home Defense, but I am the one to argue to get a 12 Gauge Instead because Its not that much more In cost Per Round. If You Get a 12 Gauge though I would get a Semi auto (Trust me) a Mossberg 500 20 Gauge Pump Kicks harder than a Mossberg 930 12 Gauge Auto, So Yeah I would Get the 12 Gauge auto :D I know this because my Dad owns the 930 and My brother owns the 500 Pump :D
January 26, 2013, 10:51 AM
The biggest problem with 20 gauge is that the shells go fully into a 12 ga chamber, but hang up in the forcing cone. Then if a 12 ga shell is subsequently loaded you now have a problem.
There is nothing wrong with 20ga for home defense. It's just a recoil/ power tradeoff you need to make.
Instead of 20 ga I use reduced recoil 12 ga in a pump.
More important than what you choose is that you become proficient with it.
January 26, 2013, 11:11 AM
Maybe I'm the vintage guy here, but how about a sawed off (legal) 16 gg. double barrel, #4 buck. And yes, I've had to grab and go with it, load it, and check uncomfortably strange noises in the house (we live in the country). So far, I've thankfully not had to use it, but I have trained with it and I have taken game like deer (slugs), varmints, and small game. Not my first choice for hunting but it did give me plenty of live training.
January 26, 2013, 11:19 AM
The Mossberg 500 is a fine choice. Available in .410, 20 gauge, and 12 gauge - I own all 3.
Ammunition is not interchangeable between the 3.
January 26, 2013, 11:28 AM
I do not agree with the use of a 410 Ga. for HD. I do not think it will stop a BG who could be hyped up on who knows what.If I said I was using a 12 gauge reduced recoil tactical load that had five pellets of 000 buck, would you say it probably wouldn't stop a bad guy?
To the original topic: yes, with the right ammo choice 20 gauge is more than adequate for home defense.
All the rest is just commentary on platform, accessories, preparation, training and mindset.
There isn't a shotgun gauge or bore can be named that isn't adequate for home defense when properly applied.
January 26, 2013, 06:34 PM
20 gauge works for me.
And if 8 rounds isn't enough, I got 10 round steel magazines also.
January 27, 2013, 04:12 AM
I recently cut down an old Moss 500, 20 gauge for a lady friend of mine. 19" barrel and 12" pull. Today at the range was the first time she gotten to shoot it. (only the second time she has shot a shotgun)
At HD ranges she was a natural! fast to the shoulder, positive reloading ect. We used a tape measure and mark the distances to the target that matched distances in her apartment, longest being 39 feet.
She now is very confident that she can defend her self in her apartment with the 20 gauge pump. This is a great improvement over her 9mm handgun which due to limited hand strength she could not control or operate reliably.

20ga is adequate and is also what I use for HD.
Here is a comparison piece that I put together, shooting the different shot sizes into ballistic gelatin : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhZf_x8Esms
As someone mentioned earlier, www.custombuckshot.com is a source for about every shot size, loaded into 20ga shells.
Best of luck,

A country other than your own which is purposefully advertised as an enticing place to live in, but in reality it's just a crime-infested dump. Once you're there you realize you spent 1000 $ on a plane ticket because of misleading ads, but it's already too late-your passport has been stolen, and you end up abducted and raped and, subsequently, in some cases, even murdered. In the happiest scenario, you will have to deal with the trauma of wasting so much money on tourism agencies and airplanes.

LISBON - Two down and only East Liverpool to go before the city's eight-year-old lawsuit against the Buckeye Water District officially can be laid to rest.
Columbiana County commissioners agreed at this week's meeting to officially sign off on an agreement resolving the lawsuit filed by the city of East Liverpool, joining the BWD, which voted to do so at its April 18 meeting. East Liverpool's approval is needed for the agreement to become final.
The settlement was actually reached at a December court hearing, where East Liverpool agreed to accept $6.2 million from the BWD to settle the dispute once and for all. The attorneys for the parties have spent the time since putting the agreement in writing.
The dispute dates back to 2005, when East Liverpool filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the BWD after the BWD ceased purchasing water from the city, despite having a long-term agreement with East Liverpool to do so. The judge ruled in East Liverpool's favor, awarding the city $4.8 million. The additional $1.4 million represents interest on the judgment that accrued while the BWD exhausted its appeals.
Because the BWD was created in the 1990s out of the former county water district, county commissioners were co-defendants in the lawsuit and, as such, also liable for the judgment. To help resolve the lawsuit, commissioners loaned the BWD $1.5 million to be put toward the judgment.
The settlement agreement contains a provision requiring the BWD and commissioners to pay East Liverpool an additional $350,000, plus interest, should the U.S. Department of Agriculture take legal action laying claim to any of the $6.2 million. East Liverpool is concerned because over the years the USDA has loaned the BWD millions of dollars for various projects. The USDA has previously said it has no intention of filing any such lawsuit.
Commissioners protected themselves should this occur, however, by entering into a side deal in which the BWD agreed to assume any and all future liability that may result from the settlement agreement.
"In other words, the board of commissioners would be out nothing should something in the agreement go awry," said Commissioner Chairman Mike Halleck. "We don't anticipate that happening, but we just want to protect the county."
Halleck said if the USDA was going to lay claim to those funds used to pay East Liverpool it would have done so already.

The Associated Press reports that the spill on the Boston-area highway slowed down traffic and caused the road to turn red.
Cleanup crews used shovels and hoses to clean up the mess, and then sanded the area, but the highway retained a distinct reddish hue, according to broadcast traffic reports.
The cause of the spill is unknown.

Radiation Therapy provided close to home by an expert team of compassionate, dedicated professionals using the most advanced technology
Radiation therapy is an essential part of many cancer treatment plans. One of the most important components of radiation therapy involves the complex process of treatment planning. Our board certified radiation oncologists, medical physicist and dosimetrist use computed tomography scans and sophisticated computer programs to create three-dimensional images of the tumor, including the size, shape and location. Equipped with this information, the radiation therapy team determines the amount of radiation (dose) and the best way to focus the radiation at the cancer cells. Once treatment planning is complete, our certified radiation technologists accurately deliver the treatments.
Your treatment team includes radiation oncologists, radiation technologists, oncology nurses, oncology social workers, medical physicist and medical dosimetrist and our receptionist/secretarial staff.
Cooley Dickinson Hospital has added an Elekta Synergy® S, a state-of-the-art digital linear accelerator with integrated imaging capabilities to the radiation therapy department. It is the first advanced multi-functional linear accelerator with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT ) and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT ), which enables our clinicians to both image and treat patients in the same frame of reference, at the time of treatment. The result is unmatched clinical confidence, enabling more aggressive treatment of tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The Elekta Synergy® S enables our radiation oncologists to perform stereotactic surgery and stereotactic radiotherapy in addition to conventional radiation therapy. Elekta® XVI (X-ray Volume Imaging) technology enables visualization of soft tissue detail in any area of the body. For more information about Elekta, please visit www.elekta.com
Conformal Radiation Therapy
Conformal (3D) treatment planning utilizes three-dimensional imaging information to visualize the target and critical structures so that an optimal treatment plan can be designed.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
Combining the highest level of patient comfort with less side affects than standard radiation therapy, IMRT is a highly accurate radiation instrument that spares normal tissue, allows for superior dose distributions, and is able to treat tumors near critical structures. Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) offers patients the most effective treatment for each type and stage of cancer. IMRT uses small beams to treat a tumor from different directions and with varying intensity, while limiting the radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissue.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
IGRT is the most advanced form of radiation therapy available. It enables radiation oncologists to precisely locate and visualize the tumor before each dose is administered while the patient is in the treatment position using radiographic, fluoroscopic or cone beam CT images. Your radiation oncologist may use this information to continuously adapt your treatment program to ensure optimal tumor dose while minimizing the volume of healthy tissue exposed to radiation during treatment on a daily basis.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy
Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy involve highly precise alignment of a tumor for high-dose application of radiation in one to five treatments, instead of the many smaller doses given in standard radiation treatment.
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)
Elekta Synergy incorporates Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), an innovative way to deliver radiation treatments that is a significant improvement over existing radiation therapies. With VMAT, the target area is continuously irradiated while the source of the beam rotates around the patient. VMAT technology provides a simultaneous control of the linear accelerator gantry position and speed, the leaves and angle of the multileaf collimator and dose rate. This flexibility enables highly conformal cancer treatments, as well as optimal sparing of the healthy tissue around the target. In addition, VMAT significantly reduces patient treatment times, leading to greater patient comfort and stillness for a more efficient and precise treatment.

LOCKPORT – The Town of Porter requested $150,000 in Niagara River Greenway funds Monday for upgrades at Porter-on-the-Lake, the town's only municipal park.
Town grant writer Bernie Rotella said the request breaks down as $90,000 for playground equipment, $40,000 for park pavilions and $10,000 for mandatory Greenway signs.
The Niagara County Legislature's Greenway Committee seemed friendly to the request but won't give a formal response for about a month on the town's request for a recommendation. The actual purse strings are controlled by the Host Communities Standing Committee, whose next meeting is in late March.

The dollar made ground against the euro, which weakened across-the-board amid month-end related selling, while arriving to the early European PM near net unchanged versus the yen. Sterling carved out moderate gains following an unexpected revision higher in Q2 GDP, to +0.7% from 0.6%, and consumer confidence data for September showing a rebound not pre-Brexit vote levels. The UK data were part of a flood of end-of-month releases, which mostly had limited ... Read More ►

The yen rebounded as the oil price rally faded and stock markets concomitantly ebbed. USD-JPY has given back most of yesterday's gains in ebbing to back under 100.80. AUD-JPY is showing the biggest movement out of the currencies we track, with a 0.4% loss. EUR-USD, meanwhile, continued to ply a narrow range in the low 1.12s, as it has done for most of the week since logging a 15-day high at 1.1259 on Monday.

The dollar was mixed through the N.Y. session on Thursday, though the greenback's fortunes swapped versus the euro and yen later in the session. EUR-USD firmed up to 1.1250 into the London close, amid mixed U.S. data, and a bevy of Fedspeak. USD-JPY meanwhile retained its bid tone, reacting to risk-on conditions following the sharp OPEC-inspired oil rally. Later, as Deutsche Bank stock came under heavy pressure, EUR-USD retreated into the 1.1200 level, ... Read More ►

Although it may seem that communities along the Ohio River are not seeing much impact from the Shale gas and oil boom, at least one business owner believes it's coming and that Wellsville, especially, will be in the thick of it.
Larry Heck, owner of Pier 48 at the Wellsville Intermodal Park, was the guest speaker at Thursday's Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon, held at Casa De Emanuel in East End here.
Heck told the chamber about the business he and his partners, Jim Pastore, Larry Petrozzi and Carl Frankovitch opened about 18 months ago at the Intermodal Park, saying it has grown during that time due to the gas and oil industry.
"I don't think people can comprehend what's going to happen to this area. The drilling has just begun," Heck said.
Pier 48 began with just a crane and Heck said he has now connected two 10-yard buckets to it to handle the barite being brought in for the oil and gas industry.
Barite is a quartz aggregate used as a lubricant in the drilling process, and Heck said, "It is a very important commodity for drilling."
A year ago, Heck said he was unloading five barges a month and is now up to between seven and 15 per month, with a project of 40 per month, pointing out, "They haven't even started drilling. Once the infrastructure is in, it will go wild."
He also handles steel coils that are used to make pipe for the oil industry, with as many as 45 trucks per day transporting the coils from his facility to the Youngstown area.
Pier 48 started with two employees and now has six, and Heck predicted the industry is "going to grow."
With that anticipated growth in the demand for both steel and barite, Heck said he is building a conveyor system to handle 800 tons per hour, saying, "If I hit the 500-ton mark, I'll be doing good."
Pier 48 is one of several companies located at the Intermodal Park, with others also involved in the gas and oil industry, and Heck said there is talk about $7 billion worth of development across the highway from the facility that will provide the infrastructure needed to support the industry.
"It's growing, and it's expanding, and it's going to keep growing," Heck predicted.

"It was a unanimous decision," says Joe.
It came after a meeting on Oct. 3, where Nick Jonas confessed to his brothers that he had serious concerns about the future of the band.
"I was feeling kind of trapped," he said. "I needed to share my heart with my brothers."

Say happy 50th to James Bond, movie star – don't we all wish we aged as well. Since 007 first appeared on screen in the 1962 thriller "Dr. No," a good number of Bonds have come and gone. We all have our favorite Bond, here are mine.
1. Sean Connery (1962-67, 1971, 1983): He was the first Bond on the silver screen and remains the best. Enough said.
2. Daniel Craig (2006-present): He has an unnerving gravitas and a killer stare. Those Speedos weren't so bad, either.
3. Timothy Dalton (1987-89): Sorry, but some of us think the classically trained Dalton can do no wrong. Thoroughly misunderstood as Bond.
4. Pierce Brosnan (1995-2002): Suave and debonair, he wore the tux well.
5. Roger Moore (1973-85): The Bond films of this period were outlandish, but Moore was in on the joke.

I am about to take my final exam and I am grateful for having had the opportunity to take this course! In high school, my mathematical abilities were practically non-existent; however, I now have found a new confidence in my abilities that will allow me to successfully start and complete a university degree in the near future!
I enjoyed the class and the instructor was great and the lessons were easy to understand. I also thought the lessons were just the right length. Thank you for having an online class.
I just wanted to thank you for your time and the education you have provided me. I will continue to study my GED book a little more and then go take my test. I feel better about myself now that I can do this math. Thank you so very much, Barb.
I really enjoyed this math class and found it most helpful. In this class nothing was assumed that you must know it, but rather, every little detail was explained. New methods that I have never see before made previous difficult areas so much easier. This was certainly a great class.
I've always hated math with a passion but this course changed that. Thanks!
I was nervous that I wouldn't understand the course because it was online and not face-to-face. It turns out, I really enjoyed it and it was very easy to understand and fit into my schedule. I plan on taking the GED Math test this Wednesday and thanks to your course, I'm confident I will pass.
Math used to be an obstacle to me. After this course it no longer is. Barb knows what she is doing when it comes to math. The lesson format was exactly what I was looking for. The lessons are so well formatted that there is no need for "guesswork". Suprisingly, I actually found the course interesting. I am so happy to have my new math skills for the GED test and also for use in my daily life. Much thanks to you Barb and keep up the good work!
This was a nice and compact course to ENSURE that I was ready. I really liked the whole set up. Thanks so much for everything, I went from a score of 390 to a 460! Passed my math!
I have recommended this course to several of my students who are needing extra help on the GED math. They like the simple way that the concepts are explained. I learned new ways to explain some problems to my students to help them to remember how to solve the problems. I highly recommend this class if you want a no-nonsense, down-to-earth math overview before you take the 2014 GED.
Instructor was supportive and made efforts to communicate online. Excellent selection of real-life problems (roofing, Facebook, etc.), clear explanation of relevance (shopping, quadratics used for programming online class, etc.) Good balance of teaching math content along with info about the GED test (formula sheet, calculator).

COLUMBIANA A city employee was chosen as the new city manager Tuesday night, but the decision was not unanimous.
Following a roughly 40-minute executive session during the special council meeting, Mayor David Spatholt was called upon to break a 3-3 tie to hire Wastewater Superintendent Lance Willard for the full-time administrative position.
Those opposed were Bryan Blakeman, Bob Bieshelt and James King.
Councilman Lowell Schloneger had originally moved to hire Willard and Councilman Tom Ferguson seconded, but Councilman Bryan Blakeman moved to amend that motion and hire Ted Andrzejewski, of Eastlake, effective immediately.
Blakeman's motion was approved by Bieshelt and King but Schloneger, Ferguson and council member Mary Calinger opposed, leading Spatholt to break that tie by voting against and killing the motion.
The motion to hire Willard then moved forward with Spatholt's vote.
Blakeman, who has lobbied for the position to be filled by someone with no ties to the city, was visibly upset and expressed his displeasure.
"I'd like for the people in the city to know that over the last month we have met diligently and spent hours upon hours having these conversations of who we would pick. For the last week or so this council was mostly united in a decision that did not involve a current city employee," he said.
He went on to say that Andrzejewski met all of the qualifications council members and Spatholt were requesting in a candidate while Willard did not.
"We did interviews this weekend ... We interviewed him for over an hour and after looking at all the people and all the qualifications, this person, hands-down, has the greatest skill set of running the city," he said of Andrzejewski.
Willard was first hired by the city in 2001 as wastewater superintendent and has not previously held a city management position. He spent four years in Newton Falls in Trumbull County working as a wastewater operator prior to coming to Columbiana.
Andrzejewski is currently serving as mayor in Eastlake, a position he has held since elected in 2004.
Neither men were present at the meeting, although Willard was available for comment later in the evening.
"I'm totally honored and excited," he said. "I look forward to doing a great job for the city and I will work very hard for the citizens and I believe everybody will see that I'm doing a good job."
Spatholt said Willard was the best choice because he's a forward-thinker.
"I was in both interviews and I felt comfortable he was the person to pick," the mayor said.
Willard was given an interview despite not even meeting the scoring requirements. He and Police Chief Tim Gladis were the only two city employees who applied for the position.
Spatholt said they were given interviews because as city employees they needed to be considered.
Of the 70 applicants from all over the country, interviews were given to seven people, with three approved for second interviews.
Blakeman said Willard is a "very good guy" and would make a good service director, but was baffled by the decision to chose him over someone with the required experience.
After the meeting Blakeman said Andrzejewski's name was in the hat as a result of civil service commission member Rick Noel, who also served on the selection advisory committee with Schloneger, Spatholt and Bieshelt.
Much like what happened Tuesday evening the committee members weren't united, with Schloneger leaning toward a candidate and Bieshelt leaning toward another candidate, so a compromise was suggested by Spatholt.
Blakeman said he suggested the committee take Noel's suggestion since Noel does no hiring within the city and wouldn't be biased. Noel suggested Andrzejewski, Blakeman said.
Like Blakeman, Bieshelt has also said he didn't want to see someone hired from within.
"I hate to be competing and everything but Ted Andrzejewski met all of the requirements that we set forth in this job ... we had asked for five to 10 years of experience and we didn't get any of that. The person we voted down has all of them," Bieshelt said.
King said he was "shocked" with the decision and questioned how council came to be divided when they were all united only a short while ago.
"I thought we had a decision a couple of weeks ago and for some reason everything changed. I don't know how things change unless council votes on it. We didn't have any vote ... how does that happen?" he said.
Schloneger said he believed the right person was chosen for the job and that comments made during the meeting "don't represent the entire council."
Willard will replace acting city manager Mike Harold, who is also the city's full-time finance director. Harold was chosen for the temporary position in December following the retirement of Keith Chamberlin, who has since been selected to serve on the county's Port Authority board.
Willard said someone is already in line to replace him as wastewater superintendent.
"We have a succession plan in place. How I manage people, my goal is to create superintendents if at all possible. I'm a very transparent person, very transparent in the way I manage and I try to let everybody know what I'm doing and train them," Willard said.
The man in line to fill the superintendent position has been training since January 2011.
"He's really taken an active role in learning to operate the plant as far as what needs to be done," Willard said.
Ultimately, that person will need to decide if they want to step into the superintendent role, however. Willard didn't wish to disclose that person's identity at this point since the decision has not yet been made.
As for council's mixed reaction to his hiring, Willard said while he doesn't have city management experience he has always been a leader.
"Anybody that knows me would tell you that I try to be forward-thinking," he said.
He is currently the president of the Northeast Section of the Ohio Water Environment Association, a non-profit that provides technical education and training for water quality professionals.
"I believe that the knowledge that I've gained by leading that non-profit section (has) prepared me for the leadership aspect of this position. I'm really looking forward to working with everybody on council. I really believe that time will prove I'm doing a great job," he said.

People who watch movies online using an old computer may encounter different problems that would compromise their viewing experience. This can be avoided by following simple tips that would improve the viewing process.
When watching online movies, the bandwidth should remain stable at all times. The user should disable any programs or browsers that would compromise the connection. Downloading items in the background could create a lot of problems. The loading process would lag and slow down by a large margin. The entire bandwidth should be dedicated to the online movie.
Internet browsers used by consumers to watch movies online should always be updated with the latest plug-ins, codec and other necessary software support. This is necessary since online video files would have varied formats. If the video file is not compatible with the browser, the movie would not load properly.
Updating internet browsers is very easy. The user who watch movies online would simply need to download a patch or installer to establish compatibility with movie files. The software needed to be downloaded can be usually found in the home site of the browser developers. The usually programs needed would include Flash, Adobe and DivX. The following programs would allow better data management and loading. The latest movie being played would also have better visual and audio quality. The use should select auto update in the options of the browser. This would enable immediate downloads of the new versions of the plug-ins and programs needed.

Not all mastitis cases hurt us the same way
by Julia Hertl
The author is a research aide in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.
As every dairy producer knows, clinical mastitis is a common and persistent problem. It may occur several times during a lactation, with various consequences on milk yield, reproduction, cow well-being, death, sale, and, ultimately, on the profitability of your enterprise. We wondered if subsequent cases had different effects than the first case. Given the question's importance, we received USDA funding to investigate the impact of multiple cases of mastitis on the production and economics of the cow.
In this article, focus on "pathogen-unidentified" mastitis; that is, you observe only clinical signs of it. We discuss the effects that we have seen regarding recurrent cases on milk yield, conception, death, and sale in New York Holsteins.
Future articles will explore the consequences if further information is known, such as whether the bacteria is gram-positive or gram-negative, or what the actual pathogen(s) is.
Effects on milk yield . . .
We studied 10,380 lactations in five large, high-producing New York herds with low overall incidences of contagious mastitis pathogens. Twelve percent of first-calf heifers had at least one mastitis case, 2 percent had a second case, and 1 percent had a third. In older cows, these incidences were higher: 24, 8, and 3 percent, respectively.
Figure 1 shows three lactation curves. The "healthy" curve is of a cow without mastitis. The "mastitis" curve shows the milk yield of a cow that had three cases of mastitis. The "potential" curve shows the milk yield that the mastitic cow would have had if she had remained mastitis-free.
We can see that there is a substantial drop in milk yield after each case, and it takes some time to recover. In fact, we can see that a mastitic cow never regains her potential yield. The same was true of first-calf heifers as well as cows.
Getting to the precise estimates, in first-lactation cows, we found significant losses in the eight-week period after diagnosis of the first case. This ranged from 2.4 to 8.4 pounds per day. The greatest losses occurred immediately after diagnosis, and then they gradually declined. In the eight weeks after diagnosis, the total loss associated with a first case was 361 pounds.
Even greater losses were associated with the second case: 12.8 pounds per day in the first week after diagnosis and 9.9 pounds per day in the second week. Then there was a gradual decline, for an eight-week loss of 436 pounds. The only significant loss (6.4 pounds per day) associated with a third case was in the first week after diagnosis. Interestingly, mastitic cows outproduced their nonmastitic herdmates by 1.5 pounds per day before mastitis occurred.
In second-lactation and older cows, losses were higher, but, of course, they are higher yielders than first-calf heifers. These cows lost 10.8 pounds per day in the week after diagnosis of the first case and 13 pounds per day in the following week. Thereafter, losses gradually declined but were still 1.5 pounds per day seven weeks later.
The total loss associated with a first case, during the eight weeks after diagnosis, was 557 pounds with the older cows. With the second case, again the greatest losses were in the first two weeks after diagnosis: 12.3 and 13 pounds per day, respectively. Five weeks later, mastitic cows had recovered their production. The total eight-week loss associated with a second case was 524 pounds. A third mastitis case was a bit less detrimental, but losses in the first two weeks still were more than 9 pounds per day.
After five weeks, mastitic cows were producing the same amount as nonmastitic cows but still below their potential. The eight-week loss associated with a third case was 475 pounds. Additionally, we found that even one mastitis case in a lactation was associated with an 880- pound drop in production in the next lactation.
Better cows; more mastitis . . .
So, what have we learned about recurrent mastitis cases and milk production? First, mastitic cows tend to be higher producers than nonmastitic cows before they experience mastitis. Therefore, we should pay particular attention to the higher producers in our herds that are exhibiting clinical signs of mastitis. Focusing on this group of cows, especially if resources (labor, and so forth) are scarce, could save your enterprise a substantial amount of money by catching mastitis cases early and treating them promptly before they cause too much damage or before they even need (antibiotic) treatment. These measures would reduce both absolute milk loss and milk produced but needing to be discarded due to antibiotic presence.
Second, first-calf heifers lost more milk after a second case (436 pounds) than after a first case (361 pounds). The opposite was true for older cows where milk loss was less severe for subsequent cases (557, 524, and 475 pounds for the first, second, and third case, respectively).
Our findings provide information on the differing milk losses associated with mastitis cases, without needing to know the causative agent. Armed with such knowledge, you can better assess the profitability of individual cows. Cows that have repeat mastitis cases may be less desirable to hold on to, as they experience large production drops with every case, taking weeks to recover . . . never returning to their high potential.
As observed by many dairy producers, we have found that mastitic cows have lower conception rates after artificial insemination (A.I.) and delayed days to first breeding. More recently, we also have found that the timing of mastitis with respect to A.I. can affect the probability of conception.
If mastitis occurred one or two weeks before A.I., probability of conception dropped by 44 percent. If it occurred in the week before A.I., the drop was much greater at 73 percent. If it occurred during the week after an A.I., the decline was 52 percent. So, obviously, mastitis has an impact on reproduction, and it varies with when it occurs (Figure 2). It actually may make sense to refrain from breeding a mastitic cow, and wait for the next cycle, by which time she, hopefully, may have recovered. These are important things to consider when estimating the total cost of a mastitis case.
Shortens life . . .
We also calculated the probabilities of death and sale for a combination of factors (parity, timing of mastitis, stage of lactation, and so forth), based on 16,145 lactations in five New York herds. We found that those probabilities vary with case number and the timing of each case. Mastitis clearly has a detrimental effect on a cow's herd life . . . the probabilities of dying or being sold are much higher for mastitic cows than for nonmastitic cows.
For example, in a second-lactation cow, sale is much more likely after a second case only if it occurs in the first 60 days in milk (approximately 0.05). After this time, it hardly seems to matter if the cow had a second case (0.013 versus 0.011 for a nonmastitic cow). Such results also can be used to economically assess different mastitis management options.
In this article, we have discussed the consequences of mastitis if you only know that your cow had mastitis based on clinical signs. As we have seen, recurrent mastitis cases have different consequences relating to milk yield, conception, death, and sale. We hope that this article has provided some useful information on the varying consequences of mastitis cases.

Registered Apprenticeship Graduations Up 28 Percent in FY2011, Highest Level of Participation in 20 Years
Minority and women participation at near record levels
BALTIMORE, MD (July 13, 2011) Maryland graduated 1,457 apprentices during Fiscal Year 2011, a 28 percent increase over Fiscal Year 2010. The Apprenticeship Maryland Class of 2011 is the largest since 1991 and among the most diverse. Of the nearly 1,500 apprentices who graduated over the last 12 months, 31 percent were minorities the highest percentage on record. The state also graduated 65 women the second largest number of female graduates in 10 years.
As Maryland recovers from the national recession, we need to increase our commitment to building a sustainable workforce pipeline. Apprenticeships provide workers with an opportunity to earn and learn and they offer employers comfort that their workers will have the skills to do the job, said Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. Despite federal budget compromises that have reduced funding for workforce training and apprenticeship programs, Maryland is making progress. Because of our partnerships and our commitment to moving forward no matter the challenge, we graduated more apprentices last year than we have in 20 years.
As a former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Maryland Apprenticeship Program for the Operating Engineers, I know the value of the training and the hard work that these individuals put into their careers, said Maryland Labor Commissioner Ron DeJuliis. We are committed to enhancing the skill level of our workforce to achieve Governor OMalleys mission of maintaining Marylands status as a national leader in workforce development. We know that apprenticeship will continue to play a major role in shaping the landscape of Maryland industry and the overall skill level of our workforce.
In early June, the Maryland Department of Labor (DLLR) launched the Apprenticeship Maryland initiative. Through creative outreach and education, Apprenticeship Maryland has worked collaboratively with partners in state government, private sector organizations, the labor community and higher education to promote apprenticeship and training opportunities to jobseekers and employers; identify avenues to expand opportunities to earn and learn; and expand skills training to more Marylanders. Going forward, the initiative will work with key partners to expand registered apprenticeships to nontraditional fields and identify strategies that build on last years gains in minority and female graduates.
Nearly 3,200 Maryland employers participate in 314 apprenticeship programs across the state, employing more than 8,500 apprentices. The building trades make up more than 80 percent of the apprenticeships in Maryland.
Apprenticeships provide employers with unique opportunities to develop the skills of their workforce and increase employee retention, while offering workers the chance to learn while they earn. The Apprenticeship Maryland initiative aims to build greater awareness of apprenticeship opportunities among jobseekers and employers and foster the necessary partnerships to expand skills training through apprenticeship programs.
Apprenticeship Maryland supports the Skills2Compete Maryland initiative a collaborative effort to expand skills training and continuing education by 20 percent by 2012 which is led by Lt. Governor Brown and Secretary Sanchez and administered by the Governors Workforce Investment Board, a division of DLLR.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

Sources: Facebook, HTC [First announcement], The Verge
quote: Facebook unveiled its long-awaited mobile phone platform today. It is, as assumed, a Facebook "layer" on top of Google Android. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, or even take a detailed look at the presentation. But I can already see where it might be useful and popular.I don't expect many happy iPhone users to bolt to Facebook phones — not yet, at least. Apple still has a big lead in hardware and OS quality, apps, media, and customer service.I also don't expect hardcore Android users — the type of people who buy and love Samsung Galaxy Notes, or Google Nexus devices — to jump to Facebook devices. That's not the target audience.But that's hardly the entire phone market. It's actually only a fraction of it.What about those millions of people who have bought Android phones — and some iPhones, probably — who don't really care that they're Android phones, or even smartphones?The types of people who, every couple of years, go into the Verizon or AT&T shop and walk out with whatever newish thing the store rep says they should buy? (All those people who buy Android phones but don't really show up in usage logs.)Or even first-time smartphone buyers?My guess is that many — most? — of these people are Facebook users, and could easily see some utility in having Facebook features highlighted on their phones. And — bonus — Facebook's software looks good. Much better than the junk that ships with typical low-end Android devices.Boom. Done. Easy, defensible purchase, assuming the price is right.Facebook isn't likely to MySpace Android or iOS any time soon. But this is a smart, ambitious project for Facebook. I like it.

The Apartment was really nice to live in. We were 7 young people and had a lot of space and fun. It is very well located since every touristic place is reachable in 15 mins. The only thing you should know is that the biggest cabaret darling is 3mins next to it, but we didnt have any trouble with that. Also Alexander was a friendly host and gave us good tips when we arrived. Thank you!
We had an amazing stay! Great and clean flat. We have stayed with 6 and two guys hat to sleep on the spare bad. Though i wouldn't suggest it, even that is possible. Easy 10 points to me!
We really enjoyed staying in this house, and we probably will visit again in the summer time, as Prague is lovely. Accommodation is situated in good place, not too far from tube station and supermarkets. Kitchen was well equipped, decent bathrooms, the only exception were armchairs, old and used.
The flat was very clean, modern and comfortable - we loved the building itself as well. It was walking distance from all of the main sites and our party went everywhere on foot. The hosts were responsive and everything went smoothly -we all had a lovely time in Prague.
All good. No comments :)

Plenty of shops and bars and restaurants around the area.Ideal for a weekend in Prague! Great help also from picking me up at the airport late and took me to the airport at stupid time in the morning.
Excellent Service and a wonderful Apartment with a great price. :-)

Fire swept through a 52-year-old Volkswagen repair shop on Fulton Avenue early Monday.
Sacramento Metro and city fire crews were called to Chet and Cliffs Volkswagen Garage at 2025 Fulton Avenue at 2:07 a.m.
Firefighters said smoke and flames were coming from an office area near the front of the shop.
Heavy smoke spilled into the garage area, but firefighters said it did not appear that any of the vehicles were damaged in the blaze.
A print shop and auto glass store adjacent to the burned garage were not damaged in the fire.
Firefighters credit an alert citizen who called 911 with helping them save the building before the flames spread too far.

the pa has refused to meet on nhl terms and the nhl refuses to meet on the nhlpa terms. the pa are also the ones who refused to come up with a new proposal unless the nhl took salary rollbacks off the table. likewise the owners refused to negotiate until the players accepted rollbacks.
both sides are guilty of wanting it their way or the highway.
Difference is the pa wants to be able to negotiate the whole contract, the nhl does not want that by any means. The pa submitted three contract proposals, and the nhl wants them to submit another after they barely even looked those three? I think its the nhl's turn to submit another proposal, but they never want to move off of their stance, there is about 600 million dollars seperating them over 6 years, they should be able to figure this out, meet in the middle.
On Wednesday, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Canadian Press there is no way a full schedule can start after Nov. 2. The league has maintained that training camps would have to open by Friday in order for the season to begin a week later.
An invitation from the NHL Players' Association to reopen talks "without preconditions" was quickly denied by the NHL on Tuesday night. The request came after a conference call with the union's executive board and was seen as a way to "bridge the gap," according to a NHLPA spokesman.
The league saw little value in sitting down together if neither side was prepared to offer something new.

The Rockford Register Star's Nov. 1 headlines talked about demolishing a couple thousand homes in Rockford at a cost of $10,000 each to the taxpayers. If I let my grass grow too long I get a nasty letter telling me to mow or I will get a fine. If I want to remodel my house I have to get a permit.
If I was an aldermen in Rockford I would be asking why these houses were allowed to get in that condition. I think if Rockford spent more time working with owners of those houses instead of seeing how many more fast food joints they can pack into east state street many of those houses just might be the pride of Rockford. Someone has to own them and someone should be held accountable.

Arnold Machine Inc. and Northstar Industries are to strengthen their partnership by sharing manufacturing space.
Northstar is to construct a 15-foot by 15-foot by 15-foot, 1 million BTU powder cure oven and a spray booth of the same size in an portion of the AMI facility which they are taking over.
"An overall increase in business and the need for powder coating larger items drove the expansion/move," sales manager Dan Shook said in a press release. "We are excited about the increased space and size capacity for our powder coating. This enables us to expand our reach and customer base, which will in turn lead to growth."
Northstar is expecting to add two or three new employees as a result of the expansion.
AMI also announced its expansion project is expected to be completed by April.
The company is adding 15,000 square feet to its facility.
"The increased space will allow us to continue to grow," AMI president Zach Arnold said in a press release. "We intend on continuing to grow in the areas of machinery manufacturing and general manufacturing."

Repaving Fillmore Avenue is nearly complete, and Republic Street in the Old First Ward is up next.
The city will likely have spent $10 million on repaving projects around the city this year when the construction season ends in three weeks, Mayor Byron W. Brown said Wednesday.
A $320,000 repaving of a 1.2-mile stretch of Fillmore Avenue, from North Parade Avenue to William Street, should be finished by today, said Public Works Commissioner Steven J. Stepniak.
In the spring, a $2.1 million streetscape project on Fillmore from North Parade to E. Ferry Street will begin. The street is considered a gateway to Martin Luther King Park, where a new splash pad and reflecting pool are being installed in a wading pool basin. The new water feature hasn�t opened yet.
Elmwood, Linwood and Hertel avenues also have been repaved this year, and the city has added 10 miles of bike lanes.
