If he gets suspended for a completely accidental play then it's horses***...let's see Z get suspended for something like this when Datsyuk couldve gotten his knee blown out on a knee on knee hit earlier in the game and there was no call at all. This was nothing more than 2 minutes from behind, no intent, not even a (real) physical force induced.
Accidental or not, an injury occurred. I am pretty sure Z is going to be suspended because the league has to be consistent and this type of play has been brought up for suspension already this season (can't remember specifics, someone else might). Since he doesn't have a history of suspensions, I think that the only reason this goes past a one game suspension is that an injury occurred that could have been worse.

I think Zetterberg deserves a one game suspension. Two at the very most.
I'm glad everyone's OK.

Guys are dropping like flies this season and with the new CBA agreement coming this summer there needs to be something done on protecting the players. I say get rid of the interference calls and allow the game to return to where it was in 2004. The game is too fast and guys simply cannot get out of their own way. Thats what happened on the Datsyuk play, the Columbus player never meant to hit knee on knee with Dats, he simply could not get out of the way simply due to speed.
I think its time to put a restrictor plate on these guys and slow it down.
Posted 22 January 2012 - 09:34 AM
It is an unfortunate play, but it is not a suspendable play, especially since the punishment on the ice was severe.

I agree that the players must have some kind of protection, but if this is going to a no contact league, I will not be watching. In my, not so learned I'll admit, opinion, the reason that there are so many injuries is that the players are trusting some new rules too much. Why wouldn't a guy skate hard to the corner, knowing that just about any hit will result in a penalty and possible suspension? It's making them reckless and they aren't watching out for themselves.
I'm predicting that no suspension will come down, Shanahan will release a video detailing why there is no suspension, and Evgeni Malkin will always look like a potato from the neck up.

example of suspension-worthy hit, with intent to injure. Yes, Pronger was suspended one game.
What Zetterberg did... skating too fast, and unable to pull up in time, was not at all the same thing. We shall see if the league wants to make these two situations equal in magnitude and intent. One of these things is not like the other.
I am glad Nikita is fine. He left the arena under his own power.

...they were both slowing and stopping, The guy would've have fallen whether Zetterberg was there or not. The play on Mursak's injury in the pre-season was worse than this and did anyone get suspended? If Shanahan suspends Zetterberg, he should be erased from the Detroit Red Wings history books. His goals and points should be taken away and his name should be removed from the Stanley Cup...it's the ref that should be suspended for making the call. I watched it over and over and over, he just places his hand on his back, there is no push, no shove, no intent, not even a tickle...

@kuklaskorner. There will be no sup discipline. View is there was no intended shove.

Guilty of what exactly?
Zetterberg is guilty. I don't think there was any malicious intent, but you can't be reckless. Even a little push or bump when a guy is in that position isn't acceptable.
I think Zetterberg deserves a one game suspension. Two at the very most.
I'm glad everyone's OK.
Guys put their hands on a player like that all the time as they ride him into the boards. There was no real shove to speak of. Just an unfortunate outcome.
5 and a game was too much punishment already. It'd be a joke if Z got any suspension, while Subban gets a little fine for a dangerous slewfoot on a player headed to the boards.

Agreed. Had Nikitin's legs not slipped out from under him, that would have been a pretty harmless check into the boards.

For what it's worth, Mlive has a bunch of quotes from players and the coaches about the incident...
DETROIT -- Here is some reaction about the play in which Detroit Red Wings center Henrik Zetterberg received a five-minute major for boarding and game misconduct for pushing Columbus defenseman Nikita Nikitin, who injured hurt his left ankle:
--Zetterberg, on the play: "The puck went down to the corner and I chased down their defenseman. I had my hand on his back. I don't think I pushed him hard. He went down. It looked bad, it looks really bad, so I can't blame the referee for giving me five minutes. ... I really don't know what to say, it looks bad."
--Zetterberg, on potential disciplinary action by the NHL: "It's up to (NHL vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan). Shanny and the league are going to review this and see what they feel. The rule is the rule, I made contact and he went down. Hopefully he's OK, I didn't mean to hurt him and we'll have to wait and see."
--Red Wings coach Mike Babcock: "There wasn't (anything malicious), but still that's the way they're calling it. They're trying to protect the D-men. I talked to (referee) Denny LaRue right away. I just said, 'Denny, is that the way you're calling it?' and he said that's the way. So why wouldn't they (call it)? We're trying to protect the players. It was an unfortunate play. I hope the guy's not hurt.''
--Columbus captain Rick Nash: "It's a dangerous play. But the whole league knows that (Zetterberg) is not that kind of a player. I thought he was going for the puck. I don't think Zetterberg is that kind of player."
--Columbus coach Todd Richards: "I did see it. I looked at the replay. He obviously goes into the board awkward. It looks like Zetterberg puts his hand on his back just as he's getting close, so it will be something that the league will have to look at and then make a ruling on."
--Richards: "It's that danger area, where guys are going into the boards and at full speed when guys are moving it's dangerous. ... And that's really where the danger comes. It's not the physical hit. It's throwing a guy off-balance, which I think in looking at it … the hand on the back throws him off-balance a little bit. The game is moving so fast now that, again, just a little bit here or there and you're going into the boards at full speed."

Maui's "March Against Monsanto" drew more than 1,000 people who rallied to call attention to what they say are the health risks of genetically modified crops and their belief that such products should be labeled as a warning for consumers.
The protesters waved anti-Monsanto signs and walked from War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku to Hoaloha Park in Kahului.
Meanwhile, Monsanto maintained that the company's genetically engineered crops are safe.
Article Photos
A large crowd of sign-wavers marches from War Memorial Stadium to Hoaloha Park in Kahului on Saturday as part of a "March Against Monsanto" rally. "I'm here for my son," said Wailuku's Carlos Cardenas, who marched with his son Isaac, 4. "I'm 47 years old, I've lived a good, long life, but he has his whole future ahead of him. What is being done is sickening, and it is all condoned by our government. The greatest nation on the planet does not have the guts to be upfront with its people, to let them know what is in their food."

More than 1,000 people took part in Maui's "March Against Monsanto" rally. Holding a sign that read "Maui Experiment Zone" made on the cardboard box that his yet-unborn baby's cradle came in was Kihei's Correll Saint. "It is an issue that has for a long time been ignored," Saint said. "She (wife Rhonda) wanted to be here for
the baby." Expectant mother Rhonda Saint did not let the fact that she was 7 1/2-months pregnant stop her from marching. "I'm here to support the baby's future," she said.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
"There has not been a single substantiated instance of illness or harm associated with genetically modified crops," Monsanto's website says.
The Maui event was one of hundreds staged Saturday in locations around the world.
Maui march organizer Keoki Medeiros said that the rally was aimed at raising awareness among residents that Monsanto had "infiltrated" the Valley Isle years ago and that consumers want product labeling to alert them to genetically altered foods.
"We're getting information out to our people," said Medeiros, a Wailuku resident and a registered nurse at Maui Memorial Medical Center.
Another Maui march organizer, Pukalani resident and carpenter Cody Darcy, said that Monsanto's cultivation of genetically engineered crops and its use of pesticides cause a "massive amount of damage to the land and to the people."
When asked for evidence, Darcy said that a Russian study showed that rats developed tumors after consuming genetically altered corn. He said the herbicide Roundup has been "proven to cause fetal damage and increase cancer risk."
Other studies are "coming out every day," he said.
On the "food safety" section of its website, Monsanto says that several researchers have done studies claiming to indicate that genetically modified crops are unsafe, but such studies have been repudiated as being scientifically unsound.
"There is a large body of documented scientific testing showing currently authorized genetically modified crops are safe," the company said. "These studies focus on the wholesomeness and nutritional value of genetically modified crops and upon the safety of the specific modifications used."
On Maui, people suffer respiratory ailments from dust blown from genetically engineered crops treated with pesticides, Darcy said. Such crops also are on Molokai and Kauai, he added.
There hasn't been any testing on the long-term health effects of genetically engineered crops, he said, and "the long-term effects are what we're concerned about."
"This is affecting future generations," Darcy said. "We don't know what is going to develop in the next 10, 20 or 50 years."
Medeiros said that while he has not been sickened from consuming genetically engineered foods, more than 50 countries other than the United States have banned or required labeling for such products.
Alicia Maluafiti, executive director of the Hawaii Crop Improvement Association, disputed the protesters' claims.
"There is a lot of incorrect information and fear-mongering about the health and safety of genetically modified foods and our companies who help to produce them," she said. "Genetically modified crops are the most tested and regulated crops, and the scientific consensus about their safety is overwhelming."
Another rally organizer, Pukalani resident Ann Evans, said that the demonstration was not against Monsanto but "for humanity."
"We can't let this happen," she said of allowing the production of genetically engineered foods.
Evans said she believes that the public's consumption of doctored foods has led to incidents of cancer, autism and Alzheimer's disease, although she did not point to a scientifically proved link between the diseases and genetically engineered products.
"I'm not a scientist," she said, although she asserted that "you can't chemically change things and not know the outcome."
Another health concern is Monsanto's herbicide products, such as Roundup, that may "affect our genetic makeup," Evans said.
Protesters are seeking a "better world, a better place and a better Maui," she said. "They need to leave Maui alone."
Medeiros said that the group plans to hold future demonstrations against Monsanto and genetically modified foods.
"We're not going away. This is just the beginning," he said.
Maluafiti said Monsanto proponents "value the concerns of the public and are committed to transparency and welcome respectful and open dialogue with anyone genuinely interested in learning more about what we do."
"The seed industry in Hawaii, through advanced technology, helps farmers all over the world increase their production and yields," she said. "They reduce pesticides use and soil erosion and help farmers face agricultural challenges such as drought."
Evans said those speaking in support of Monsanto do so as paid lobbyists.
"If you pay somebody enough, they'll say just about anything," she said.
Those protesting genetically altered foods come from a wide spectrum of the community, including doctors, lawyers and teachers, she said, and they outnumber the few people speaking out in favor of Monsanto.
In response, Maluafiti said she's paid by an association that represents feed farmers in Hawaii, and not Monsanto or other biotechnology companies.
She said that because anti-biotechnology activists can't argue scientific facts in support of their position, they "make personal attacks against anyone associated with agriculture."
"You can't pay me enough to take personal attacks," she said. "Once we start focusing on the facts, we can have a dialogue."
Maluafiti said activists have every right to demonstrate against biotech companies, but "they do not have the right to take away the tool of biotechnology that helps over 17 million farmers across the world."
Monsanto's website (www.monsanto.com/newsviews/Pages/food-safety.aspx) addresses food safety and maintains that genetically modified crops are "as safe as conventional food."
The first large acreage plantings of genetically engineered crops - herbicide-tolerant soybeans and canola took place in 1996 "after successfully passing U.S. regulatory review," the company says.
"Since then, additional genetically modified crops with herbicide tolerance, insect tolerance and virus resistance have been given clearance for planting and consumption," the company says. "These include varieties of corn, sugar beets, squash and papaya. All of these crops have been assessed for food and feed safety in producing countries, and many more countries have approved the import of food or food ingredients that contain genetically modified products. Hundreds of millions of meals containing food from genetically modified crops have been consumed."

Right to Carbon or Right to Life: Human Rights Approaches to Climate Change
Svitlana Kravchenko
University of Oregon
November, 20 2008
The limitations of compliance mechanisms under international environmental law suggest that we should look to the usefulness of claims of human rights violations. At least three forums might be used for litigation regarding climate change: international courts or compliance bodies, international human rights bodies, and national courts either applying international law or adjudicating human rights claims under domestic law.
If we come to see human-caused global climate change as violating fundamental substantive or procedural human rights, perhaps we can make a breakthrough in the policy debates to move our politics and jurisprudence toward a solution based on rights claims.

Altoona Fish would have been a funny name. For about 10 minutes. Then it would have been hokey and borderline embarrassing for the city and franchise.
Ridge Runners? No way.
Coasters? Eh. Interesting but not overly exciting.
As it turned out, the local franchise stumbled upon the perfect name with Altoona Curve, a double entendre representing the famous local landmark, the Horseshoe Curve, and a baseball tie-in, plus it rolls effortlessly off the tongue.
Had team owner Bob Lozinak not stepped in and made the final decision, however, the name of the franchise very well may have been the Altoona Lake Monsters.
The franchise paid homage to that what-might-have-been scenario during "What if Wednesday" at Peoples Natural Gas Field. The gimmick of renaming the team the Lake Monsters for one evening fit right in with the quirky greatness of minor league baseball.
The club wore teal jerseys with the words "Lake Monsters" on the front - along with fins coming off the letters - and on the sleeves was a fish with a baseball inside its open mouth and holding a bat.
"I'm looking at that new logo tonight, and it's pretty intimidating," Tobi Rispoli of Altoona said with a smile.
Rispoli is credited with coming up with the name Lake Monsters during the name-the-team contest back in 1998, and she even submitted a logo with her entry. She drew her inspiration from attending Lakemont Elementary School - where the Lake Monster was the unofficial mascot - and since the ballpark is in Lakemont, that name seemed like a logical choice.
"I am still on a high to think the lovable Lake Monster is still thought of two decades later," Rispoli said after throwing out a ceremonial first pitch Wednesday.
All references to the baseball team were as the Lake Monsters, and instead of calling it the usual Curve, Pa., the ballpark area was renamed Lake Monster, Pa. Sandwiches at the concession stands were even served with green seaweed, which actually was sauerkraut dyed green.
Ahhh, only in the minor leagues.
The Lake Monster jerseys were auctioned off after the game, with a portion of the proceeds going to charity.
"They were different, but it's fun doing stuff like that, change the look a little bit," Curve shortstop Brock Holt said.
Because the team lost, though, Holt joked, "I wouldn't mind not seeing [the jerseys] ever again, but whatever."
From a history perspective, Lake Monsters, Fish, Ridge Runners and Coasters were the finalists of the name-the-team contest in 1998. Coasters was the top vote-getter, but thankfully 33 people submitted the name "Curve" as a write-in candidate.
Lozinak loved the name from the get-go and made the final decision to select it. Unfortunately, there is no single person credited for coming up with the name Curve because several people submitted it at once.
"When it was suggested, people thought, 'That one really hits a chord,'" general manager Rob Egan said.
It absolutely does, so much in fact that the opinion here is that Altoona Curve is as good and fitting of a name for a sports franchise as any in the world.
For this team, in this town, it is the perfect name, and nothing else is even a close second.

I just cut up some mini watermelons for the kids. There's that.
This morning I was fixing oatmeal/cleaning the kitchen/getting towels from the basement/answering the phone when I nicked the corner of the counter with my wedding ring and ka-clink. My diamond was gone. Thankfully I
So, yay, I have my diamond and boo I can not get my ring off. And yes I've tried freezing it/cold water/above my head/soap/oil/bath. I think the last time I even took it off was before I was pregnant with Ivy. I checked with our homeowner's insurance. They do not cover cutting the ring off my finger.
Good thing prongs are so in right now. Totally.
Last night I made the most awesome cupcake sandwiches (you know where you cut the cupcake in half and put the frosting in the middle to make it easier to individually wrap for the school bake sale?) and then a few hours later the two kids involved in the bake sale are throwing up. All night long. All night. I saw the clock at every hour. Until the sun came up, and beyond.
So, what would you do? You'd probably throw out those cupcakes, right? I mean, everyone in this house except for Jeff has now been stricken by this bug in the past few days so it's likely I could get the whole school sick, eh? All those cupcakes = trash them?
How am I going to get this ring off my finger?

Welcome to the Institute of Climate Change, Oceans and Atmosphere at California State University, Fresno
The purpose of the Institute of Climate Change, Oceans, and Atmosphere (ICOA) is to foster interdisciplinary research and teaching in areas of climate change, oceanography, and atmospheric science.
Unintended human induced climate change is a large-scale environmental problem requiring urgent global action. For the San Joaquin Valley, climate change has special importance due to the importance of agriculture to the Valley's economy, the dependence of agriculture on seasonal precipitation, and a large and growing population.
The study of physical, chemical and biological processes in oceans and the atmosphere are integrally related to climate change, and must be part any systematic and focused investigation of climate change and what it means for the Valley. For the purposes of ICOA, oceans are interpreted to mean not only the marine environment, but all other elements of the water cycle, including precipitation, runoff/recharge, surface water and ground water.

Daron Rahlves thought his Rahlves' Banzai Tour could beat the elements.It always did - rain, snow, fog or ice - until Sunday.Mother Nature had the final say in cutting short the KT-22 Banzai at Squaw Valley this past weekend, as crummy conditions caused by a wet mix of rain, snow and fog forced the cancellation of Sunday's finals. "It was a bummer. I always thought that out motto was, 'If we can make it to the top of the mountain, we can run Banzai.' But we had such challenging conditions, with the fog and everything, that we decided that it was best to call it off," said Rahlves, who was laid up with a dislocated hip suffered in Saturday's time trials, taking him out of the running for the Super Final at Sugar Bowl this Sunday.Rahlves said with so few trees atop KT-22 as reference points, visibility was dangerously low in the flat light, while the "rotten" snow prevented the gates from staying upright."I never even thought this would happen. I thought we could always pull it off, no matter what," Rahlves said. "But the b-nets weren't even staying in, and you couldn't see the ground."With only half of the race completed, Rahlves and his Banzai crew decided to use Saturday's individual time trials as the final results. Typically, the second day of the Banzai Tour stops are reserved for the finals, which feature eliminating heats of four skiers or snowboarders racing down a course that follows a resort's natural terrain. John Bochenek out of Squaw Valley, who won the men's ski division in the opening Kirkwood stop, easily claimed his second tour victory with a time of 1:41.90. Kyle Coxon finished second in 1:46.75, and John Lange was third in 1:47.34.Initially, Lange was awarded second place due to a timing mistake, Rahlves said. But second place was later awarded to Coxon after it was determined upon further review that his time was actually faster. The position was crucial because, along with the $1,500 payout, it also comes with an entry into the Super Final and overall points awarded toward the tour title, since Bochenek had already secured his spot. The Super Final is a one-run, winner-takes-all heat among the winners of the men's ski division from each of the four tour stops. With Rahlves sidelined, the Super Final will pay $5,000 to the fastest of the four - Bochenek, Jesse Maddex, who won the Alpine Meadows stop, Coxon and whoever wins the final men's ski event at Sugar Bowl.Rahlves said he feels bad about the initial mistake and confusion, but he's glad race officials got it right in the end. "I'd rather suck it up and admit that we made a mistake, because I don't want to live with a mistake. We had to make sure we got it right. It's a big deal," he said. "There's a lot of money on the line."Daron's sister, Shannon Rahlves, claimed victory in the women's ski division, as she posted a time of 2:11.59 to runner-up Shelly Robertson's 2:11.94. McKenzy Golding was third in 2:19.91.Lucas Dehmlow won the men's snowboard division in a time of 2:35.10, while Rob Vandervoort was second in 2:35.33 and Ronnie Schoff was third in 2:40.01.Macy Price slipped into first place in the women's snowboard division ahead of Iris Lazzareschi (3:14.28) and Casey Lucas (3:23.40).The Rahlves' Banzai Tour will wrap up at the place it all starter, Sugar Bowl's Silver Belt Gully, this Saturday and Sunday with the Silver Belt Banzai and Super Final. Competing athletes and sponsors are invited to the event kickoff at Moody's Bistro, Bar & Beats in downtown Truckee on Friday from 5-7 p.m. After the solo qualifying runs on Saturday, everyone is invited to the Rahlves' Banzai Aprs Party by the High Fives Foundation at the Sierra Vista Bar from 3-6 p.m.

Because they lost power to the water cooling system, they needed to vent the pressure that's building up inside.My suspicion is that as the temperature inside the reactor was rising, some of the metal cans that surround the fuel may have burst and at high temperature, that fuel cladding can react with water to produce zirconium oxide and hydrogen.That hydrogen then will be part of the gases that need to be vented. That hydrogen then mixes with the surrounding air. Hydrogen and oxygen can then recombine explosively. So it seems while the explosion wasn't directly connected with the nuclear processes, it was indirectly connected, because the hydrogen was only present because of what was going on in the reactor core.
quote: The new reactors need energy input to sustain fission so if the power is cut the reaction dies out automatically.
quote: There are simple and effective solutions in use today that guarantee a reactor shutdown if coolant power is lost. Simply suspending the control rods above their slots via electromagnets is probably the simplest. If the magnets lose power the control rods drop into the reactor and bring the nuclear reactions to a stop (or near enough anyway).

Has the United States become a safer place to live since Sept. 11, 2001?

This is a tough question. If you can eliminate politics from your way of thinking. I would say yes because I trust our Military and the intelligence that they rely on. I guess it I could say in my view...I think our Country works really hard to make sure it's safe and another 9-11 doesn't happen again. However, the evil and the enemies still exist. That could be a no answer if you want to look at it that way. Anyhow, tough question to answer.

notSocialist can't help you there. I stayed in most of the day. Put my flag out and lit a candle. Called my family just to say "I love them" and thanked God for the gifts he gives us. Then asked him to send angels to those that suffered such terrible losses on that gut wrenching day to get them through the painful memories.
I sure hope many did. It is a day we should never forget.

BELLWOOD - With Noah Davis, one of the best players in the area, out until at least the state playoffs, the Bellwood-Antis High School boys basketball team will have to find other ways to win if the Blue Devils want to return to the PIAA playoffs.
Friday night, Bellwood turned to Davis' younger brother Nathan - four times.
Nathan Davis, a freshman for the Blue Devils, missed three straight open 3-pointers with the score tied at 52. That didn't deter B-A coach Brent Gerwert to go right back to him, and Davis didn't disappoint, hitting the go-ahead trey with 58 seconds left in a 59-52 Bellwood victory.
"I was a little disappointed, because I had missed three straight from my bread and butter spot," Nathan Davis said. "But my teammates told me to keep believing in myself and that the shots would start falling, so that made me feel better about it."
One of those teammates was his brother, Noah, who is out with a wrist injury but sat on the bench with his fellow Blue Devils.
"I loved playing with my brother the first half of the season," Noah Davis said. "He missed three in a row, but I told him to just keep on shooting and just keep on shooting. That's why we go to the [recreation] center and shoot 100 shots a day. That's what you got to do, and he came through for us."
Nathan Davis' 3-pointer capped a big Blue Devil comeback to keep B-A undefeated (10-0) in the Inter-County Conference's North Division. Bellwood improved to 16-1 overall.
The Blue Devils led by five at halftime before falling behind at the end of the third quarter.
Williamsburg took advantage of several second-chance points and six 3-pointers to take a 46-38 lead.
"We started catching the ball down under and making baskets in close," Williamsburg coach Mike Farrell said. "Even if we didn't make the basket, we were getting to the foul line so that's what I was looking for us to keep doing."
Instead, the Blue Pirates went cold, and Bellwood-Antis started playing like an inspired team.
With his team sitting on the bench just before the fourth quarter, Gerwert pleaded with the Blue Devils to get back into the game.
"This game isn't over," Gerwert screamed. "You have to start playing basketball. This is just ridiculous."
With just more than six minutes to play, Bryce Young connected on a hook shot to give Williamsburg a 50-45 lead, but Bellwood held the Pirates without a field goal the rest of the way.
"The kids started to believe they could win and upped their pressure," Gerwert said. "They got hands in their faces, boxed out and got rebounds when they had to."
Eli Fay made 2-of-4 free throws on back-to-back possessions for Williamsburg to make the score 52-49 with 4:12 left but the Blue Pirates did not score again.
Bellwood finally caught Williamsburg when Kyle Bartlett made a free throw with 1:35 left, and the Blue Devils scored the final 10 points of the game.
Nathan Davis led all scorers with 16 points, and Steffen Wyland added 10 points. The Blue Devils were 18-of-23 from the foul line including Dominic Sisto's 8-for-8 performance.
"We're going to have to really come together as a team [to do well in the playoffs]," Gerwert said. "That's what we did tonight, and we have to limit teams to one shot."
Williamsburg (10-6, 7-3 in ICC North) got 14 points from Jed Dishong, 12 from Fay and 10 from Josh Morrissey.
"I think we're a quality team, and this game will help us," Farrell said. "It was a high pressure, high intensity game that we can learn from."
WILLIAMSBURG (52): Biddle 2 0-0 6, Fay 4 3-6 12, Morrissey 2 5-6 10, Dishong 6 0-2 14, Palmer 4 0-0 8, Young 1 0-1 2, Ross 0 0-0 0, Appleman 0 0-0 0. Totals - 19 8-15 52.

Authorities in Dauphin County have identified the man they said shot a police dog before he was shot and killed by police.
Investigators said Skyler Stewart, 20, opened fire as he ran into a wooded area to hide from police Friday night in Lower Paxton Township.
One of the bullets hit Zeke, a Harrisburg police dog. He had emergency surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
The Dauphin County district attorney said he thinks the officer was justified in the shooting.
The Dauphin County coroner said three bullets were recovered from Stewart.
He said police were serving a warrant for an aggravated assault charge.
Stewart is accused of cutting his mother's boyfriend and shooting at his car.

I enjoyed this course. The information presented was very useful. There were some excellent graphics included, like the submarine sandwich and wheel, which I intend to use in my classroom. Overall, I just really enjoyed this course and am charged up to begin teaching again! I took many notes, and intend to refer to them throughout my school year. Thank you.
Wonderful, extremely informative class. Excellent teacher who really made learning enjoyable and fun!
Your course got me excited to teach writing in the classroom once again! I found the material to be interesting and useful.
This course was excellent. I learned a lot and reflected on a lot of the practices as I went through the material. Our instructor was not only very knowledgeable in her field, she was also very personable and resourceful in her responses to our discussion area sessions. Thank you !
I really enjoyed this course! The information was so well-organized. I know I'll be able to apply much of what I've learned to my teaching. Melanie is clearly very knowledgeable. I appreciated that the course was extremely hands-on and teacher-friendly. I've taken many online courses, but this has been the best, by far. Thanks again for a great class!
I loved this course! It was full of excellent ideas for implementing an interesting and effective writing program in the upper grades classroom. Thank you so much! I walked away from this course with a greater understanding of the writing process as well as so many ideas that I can't wait to try out.
This course was an excellent course. It will help me in the fall to engage and help students with writing. The instructor was knowledgeable and informative and I learned a lot from her.
This course was wonderful! As a fifth grade teacher home on maternity leave, I was able to get a complete overview of teaching writing to upper elementary students. Not only was it all encompassing, I learned many new terms, strategies, and fun lesson ideas I could incorporate into my classroom the next day. The course was totally relevant and very interesting. Thank you!
This was an outstanding course taught by an excellent instructor. I would highly recommend this course to others. I got more than my money's worth in taking this class. Thank you.
Writing can be a dreadful chore and an insurmountable challenge for some students. "Teaching Writing: Grades 4-6" provides a strategic road map with many exciting adventures along the way. Because she has taught in public schools and has been in the trenches herself, Melanie Park recognizes the problems writing presents and gives practical advice for solving them. Every lesson is a precise how-to with varied suggestions for implementation. As a student, I have been challenged to think about writing in many novel ways and am grateful for the step-by-step techniques and strategies outlined in this course.

isango! Customer review: Vintage Car Tour0
We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and Don our driver kept us well informed all of the way. He queued up for our Alcatraz tickets.
The weather was not to good on the day but Don said that if we were here in the Summer the Golden Gate bridge would most probably be shrouded in mist.
He was a mind of information and kept you listening.
Would we recommend this excursion our answer would be a definite yes.

BERLIN CENTER - The end result of the Division IV sectional final softball game between Wellsville and Western Reserve will have to wait.
With the threat of severe thunderstorms forecast throughout the day as well as a tornado watch looming, the 11th-seeded Tigers and top-seeded Blue Devils attempted to get their contest going, but once lightning was spotted in the bottom of the first inning, both teams took for cover, and the game was called off with no score from either side.
"I'm disappointed," Wellsville coach Joe Soldano said. "We were looking forward to go up against a top-seeded team like Western Reserve and then this happens and it's just disappointing."
The teams will try to finish the game at 5 p.m. today depending if it stays dry.
The disappointment of the Tigers (8-13) in the rain-out comes a day after knocking Youngstown Christian out of the tournament Tuesday with a 16-1 five-inning victory, the Tigers' first win in a tournament game in years.
"We came in to this game after beating Youngstown Christian, and were just excited to make it here," Soldano said. "I can't quite remember the last time we were able to advance in the tournament. I know it has been a long time since we've been this far."
The game was already behind schedule as transportation issues forced the Tigers to arrive just 10 minutes before the scheduled first pitch, but the game finally got underway at 5:20 p.m. as Maddie Kreitzburg struck out one and walked one for the Blue Devils (16-2) and Toni Lombardozzi hit a single for the Tigers.
Then, around 5:37 p.m. lightning was spotted in the southeast, forcing everyone to take cover. Both teams and umpires went inside the high school where Soldano, Western Reserve coach Joe Serensky and Reserve athletic director Jeff Martig monitored the storm pattern.
Once another storm cell was spotted over Canton heading northeast towards town, the coaches and umpires made the decision to hold off the game and wait for today.
"We're going to try again (today)," Martig said. "If for some reason the weather doesn't cooperate with us then, we will have it at 1 p.m. Saturday."
The game will resume in the bottom of the first with no outs and a runner on second for Western Reserve. The winner will face third-seeded Columbiana, who knocked off Sebring 5-2, in the district semifinal Tuesday at Dickey Athletic Complex in Lisbon.

NEW RIEGEL - It isn't often one can put a finger on the turning point in a 33-point loss.
But it was clear Seneca East's Joe Bedingfield would have liked to have had the last 90-plus seconds of the first half against New Riegel back for another try here Thursday night.
The Blue Jackets scored the last 10 points of the half and benefited especially from five Tiger turnovers in the final 1:34 on the way to a 79-46 Midland Athletic League win.
"We have to come out ready to go every game," New Riegel coach Todd Aichholz said after his club improved to 15-2 overall and 7-1 in the league. The Blue Jackets remain one game behind MAL leader Old Fort, which whipped Hopewell-Loudon 73-37 Thursday to maintain an edge.
"Every game is a championship game for us if we want to stay in the league race," he said. "We can't afford any more losses."
The Tigers (9-6, 4-4) had them on the run for much of the first half. Ethan Caudill had three baskets, including a 3-pointer and Ben Hahler added a couple inside hoops. Seneca East opened an 11-6 lead that narrowed to 15-13 by the end of the first quarter.

3-point goals: Seneca East 5-12 (Caudill 3, Phillips 2); New Riegel 6-11 (Williams 4, Wank 2).
Foul shots: Seneca East 7-12; New Riegel 15-18.
Rebounds: Seneca East 16 (Phillips 6, Hahler 5); New Riegel 21 (Hohman 4, Wank 4).
Turnovers: Seneca East 20; New Riegel 7.
Caudill, who led the Tigers with 15 points, had five more in the first five minutes of the second period although his club fell back a little. His baseline drive for two pulled Seneca East to within 26-24.
Nick Wank's foul shot and Brandyn Reinhart's inside basket gave the Blue Jackets a five-point edge, and then came clincher burst.
Wank came up with a steal and zipped a pass for an Andrew Hohman basket. Then Korey Williams, who scored 10 in the first half, stole a pass and fed Reinhart.
The Tigers had three more turnovers to close the half, the last one leading to Wank's 3-pointer for a 36-24 halftime lead.
"It was a huge run," Bedingfield said. "We're trying to figure out the point guard spot. We have to figure out if somebody wants to step up and be our point guard.
"We knew New Riegel was capable of going off in spurts like that if you let them," he said. "We came out and played hard, but fell into a little rut. To go down 12 at the half like that, that took a little gas out of us."
New Riegel led by as many as 20 and as few as 12 before settling for a 54-39 lead heading into the fourth period. The Blue Jackets then went on a 15-3 run to seal it.
Reinhart, the league's leading scorer at 23 points per game, was limited to six in the first half but he finished with 18. Williams hit four 3-pointers and matched Reinhart at 18. The Blue Jackets also got 11 from Wank, 10 from Josh Burns and six each from Joshua Nye, Hohman and Jake Dryfuse.
"Our guards really set the tone for us tonight," Aichholz said. "Korey shot the ball really well and Andrew did a great job of attack when he had the opportunity, and I thought Nick had a whale of a game. That was the best he's played all season.
"Josh Burns, he has that capability to score like he did," he said. "Brandyn's had the flu all week and you could tell he was just a little bit out of it tonight. But I still thought he had a pretty good game."
New Riegel shot 60 percent from the field, hitting 29-of-48 overall. The Jackets went 13-for-19 in the second half.
"We wanted to come in and put a little pressure on them, make them a little tight because they are still in the league race," Bedingfield said. "But their kids stepped up. The Reinhart kid came up big in the second half and they hit some shots from the outside. It was kind of pick your poison out there."
Nate Phillips backed Caudill with 13 points for the Tigers. But from there, the scoring dropped down to six points by Hahler.

Toilets are a popular research subject. They're an essential part of modern life. Everybody has one, everybody uses them everyday, and everybody has an opinion.
Manufacturers are constantly researching new designs, products, and technologies. To be approved for market, fixtures must go through rigorous tests in which the flushing mechanism is deployed thousands of times.
This toilet model, made by Niagara Conservation, flushes by a tipping bucket rather than a conventional flapper. Photo source: Aquacraft, Inc., by permission.
Currently there are several research projects that are evaluating the effectiveness of several new toilet models as well as customer satisfaction with these products. Sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and two water providers (East Bay Municipal Water Utility District and City of Tampa Water Department), these studies measure water use in single-family homes before and after the installation of high-efficiency fixtures including toilets and clothes washers. Results from these studies should be available in 2002.
There are ongoing research efforts into toilet performance and toilet flapper durability being conducted by a number of independent laboratories. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California bench tests toilets and flappers to ensure that they meet performance standards. The National Association of Home Builders also has a bench testing lab for toilets.

One chocolate Labrador Retriever has changed the nature of drug searches in Randolph County schools, enabling the potential search of students.
When K-9 Officer Macy joined the Elkins Police Department as the force's drug and tracking dog in mid-November, city officials anticipated Macy would be helpful in detecting the presence of drugs during traffic stops and on warranted searches.
Randolph County School officials also foresaw that, as a passive drug dog, the 21-month-old Labrador Retriever could be brought into schools to look for drugs without fear of any student being harmed.
Article Photos
The Inter-Mountain photo by Katie Kuba
Cpl. C.D. Cross with the Elkins Police Department and Elkins Mayor Duke Talbott introduce K-9 Officer Macy during her second week of work with the EPD in November 2012.
So, the school system and the City of Elkins entered into a contract, whereby the school system has agreed to pay the city $6,000 annually - a sum that will likely decrease in subsequent years - for the acquisition of Macy and the training of her and her handler, Cpl. C.D. Cross.
In return, the EPD has pledged to use Macy to search each of the following county schools at least twice a year - the middle and high school sections of Harman School, Elkins Middle School, Elkins High School and Tygarts Valley High School, EPD Chief Rob White said in a recent interview with The Inter-Mountain.
What's different about Macy, Randolph County Superintendent of Schools Terry George recently told The Inter-Mountain, is the passive K-9 officer "makes it possible for us to get close to the kids, with absolutely no possibility of a student being injured."
"She will not attack or react aggressively even if she hits (finds drugs) on something," George explained.
Macy is a passive drug dog, meaning she does not physically search people; instead she searches the air around them, EPD Chief Rob White recently explained. And when Macy detects the presence of marijuana, opiates, methamphetamine or cocaine - or some derivative thereof - she assumes a sitting position in front of the person or object bearing the substances. This alerts her handler, Cpl. C.D. Cross, that further action is warranted.
Such action could include a police search of students.
"Macy can be walking past students and if she reacts (indicates drugs are present on a student), you can have probable cause for an officer to search (the student)," George said. However, George and former Randolph County Schools Superintendent Dr. James Phares said police cannot search students unless their parents are present.
"Before a student can be searched by an officer," Phares told an Inter-Mountain reporter in December, "the parents must be present."
Both George and White were adamant that Macy would not be searching the students.
"We don't allow dogs to search the students," George said. "Macy doesn't do student searches. That's not permitted."
Macy does, however, search the air around students, said White, which is legitimated by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling which holds that "there is no expectation of privacy in the air around a person," White said. "Or in the air anywhere, for that matter."
The police chief said that although Macy may be used to establish probable cause, the EPD won't be lining students up to be searched.
"We're not going to line the students up and have the dog go down and smell each one of them," White said. "Now, if during the course of a normal search of the building, the dog would detect something, we may investigate further."
George said he sees Macy as a "second reinforcement" to the school system's drug testing policy. Under that policy, quarterly drug testing via hair samples is performed on a randomly selected group of student athletes, student drivers and students participating in extracurricular activities. Any parent may also opt his or her child into the drug testing program, George said, noting that of 200 tests administered during the 2011-2012 school year, not one returned a positive result.
K-9 Officer Macy expands the administration's reach as to how many students it can monitor for drug possession.
"We can use Macy to look at kids not in our random pool," George said. "She gives us an alternative to look and see if students are bringing drugs into the school that we might not otherwise know about."
George said parents in Randolph County are aware that random drug searches occur, although the school system has not specifically notified parents that it will be utilizing Macy, who could potentially be used to establish probable cause for a police search.
"This is a very good collaborative effort on our part and on the part of the city," George remarked. "The passive drug dog is sending a message that is getting through to our students - drugs and alcohol will not be tolerated. Students need to surround themselves with positive activities, including extracurricular activities, sports, school activities and enjoying friends."

TOWN OF LOCKPORT – Niagara County sheriff's deputies, tracking footprints in the snow up and down driveways to almost every vehicle parked on Amanda Lane, eventually arrested a 19-year-old man early Sunday and charged him with stealing watches and loose change from the vehicles.
Deputies were called about a suspicious vehicle on Kimberly Lane at 2:20 a.m. After an hour of checking the area and looking for the driver, they got another call of a man running down Kimberly Lane toward Tonawanda Creek Road.
They found a knit hat, a Ziploc bag with watches, and eventually a suspect who was found in a backyard in the 6500 block of Tonawanda Creek Road.
Lucas J. Smith, 19, of Lockwood Lane, the registered owner of the suspicious vehicle, was charged with petit larceny and trespassing at six homes in the 6800 block of Amanda Lane. He was charged after agreeing to show deputies which vehicles he had targeted. Deputies recovered $41.28 in change and three watches valued at $100.

How UB Won: UB knew that UMass was familiar with their offensive signals and plodded through the first half. In the second half, they went back to being themselves, developed a rhythm, stuck with the ground game and imposed their will.
Turning Point: Down 3, UMass had advanced to the UB 48 when QB Mike Wegzyn was nailed for consecutive sacks, by Steven Means/Colby Way and Jake Stockman/Willie Moseley. UB scored the game's final points on its next posession.
Offensive Player of the Game: Joe Licata hit the big throws and finished 18 of 30 for 226 yards and two touchdowns. His go-ahead TD throw to Alex Neutz with a defender bearing down epitomized composure.
Defensive Player of the Game: Khalil Mack was in on a season-high 15 tackles, 3½ of them for losses including 2½ sacks.
What It Means: UB improved to 4-7 overall and 3-4 in the MAC. UMass is 1-10, 1-6.
He Said It: "I wish I could have got more yards obviously but I did what I could. For the first-time debut it's not bad, I started out 'D' line. Now I'm playing running back. You never know what tomorrow brings." – Senior fullback Rashad Jean, who ran 17 times for 73 yards.
Stat Check I: UB ran just nine plays in the first quarter – for 22 yards.
Stat Check II: Wegzyn was sacked eight times, leaving UMass with minus-15 yards rushing in the second half and just 49 for the game.
Next Up: The Bulls close out the regular season Friday at Bowling Green, coached by Lew-Port's Dave Clawson. Game time is 2 p.m. The Falcons fell to Kent State, 31-24, Saturday, giving the Golden Flashes the East title.

A buzz word over the past few years on the Internet has been "Web 2.0″ including the facet of "Social Networking". As a whole, the lacrosse community has not had much to discuss in this arena. A few companies, sites and players had put themselves on exsisting sites such as Facebook or Myspace in order to take part in the scene of social networking and that was the extent of the use of these tools in our sport.
What is Web 2.0?
The term Web 2.0 may have many of you out there in the lacrosse world confused. What it means is the 2nd generation of the web. It's a move away from static information based pages of the past to more dynamic technologically driven sites containing functionality to allow user interaction, collaboration and the sharing of content, information and ideas.
What is Social Networking?
Social networking is a place or community where individuals can gather who share a common interest, belief or hobby. These social places often offer the ability for users to stay in touch and to keep tabs on the activities of each individual. They also create a medium for users to express themselves in a creative and meaningful manner in which other interested parties can utilize this information.
So now that you know what the Web 2.0 and social networking are…
When did these technologies make it to lacrosse?
The origins of lacrosse in the Web 2.0 come from the forum based sites that started as far back as the mid to late 1990's. The sport of lacrosse has its share of online forums that allow users to register and express their feelings or write about topics in the game.
The Web 2.0 lacrosse revolution made it mainstream in 2007 when a website called LaxSpot.com was launched by 3 former lacrosse players from Salisbury University. The new age of the web was introduced to the lacrosse community through this application and would spread like a wildfire across the spectrum.
LaxSpot.com was the first fully based social network dedicated to lacrosse. It incorporated the functionality of the popular social networks with the ability to add friends, join groups, post blogs, pictures and videos. The separating factor, it was for the lacrosse niche only. This was something that the sport had not seen before but could only be envisioned.
For the 2008 season, the National Lacrosse League (NLL) introduced a social networking tool on their site for their fans. Not only could fans keep track of their teams on the regular website, but they could now befriend other fans and share their point of view about NLL topics.
Also in 2008, the Warrior Lacrosse company launched a social network of its own on their site. Many have brought up the question, why would a manufacturer launch a site such as this? The answer is to keep users coming back with brand in their mind. Warrior was the first manufacturer to use social networking as a marketing tool to get product information to the consumer, keep their sponsored athletes in the limelight while promoting their product and to keep the user base coming back to get the scoop on new ideas and products.
Has social networking become too much?
If you're a proficient web user, chances are you are already a member of Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Freindster and E-Lacrosse's LaxSpot. You may be asking yourself, "When will this end?" Unfortunately, there is not an end in site, but things will get better. Look for the collaboration of sites to include applications that offer sharing of roles. This isn't ideal for a Hamburger Eating and PETA social networks to do but it will work for networks where users tend to be redundant.
What can we expect out of Social Networking?
You can expect social networks to be a continuance of existing sites well into the future. For instance, with the acquistion of LaxSpot.com by E-Lacrosse, the process has already begun to integrate the social networking aspects into the everyday experience that you have on E-Lacrosse. This means that you won't have to be a member of the sites' social network to see featured blogs, videos and galleries. They will be available to all browsers of the site, but only members will have the opportunity to interact with one another.
Both recruits and coaches have already begun to use social networking applications in their respective efforts. A recruit can now join a recruiting network to post a bio, videos and other information to be viewed by coaches. Not only can coaches use these tools to find recruits, but there have been major advancements in media based technologies that allow coaches to securely watch and distribute game video to staff and players alike. This has been a growing trend in sports like football and has now spread to the sport of lacrosse.
How will E-Lacrosse lead the way in Social Networking and Web 2.0?
As stated above, E-Lacrosse has already made strides in providing social networking functionality through the acquisition of LaxSpot.com. "E-Lacrosse's LaxSpot" is now available for all our readers to join and take part in the online experience. After a user registers, they have the opportunity to create and customize your profile, join or create private and public groups, view and add videos and pictures, chat, discuss topics on the E-Lacrosse forum, make friends, comment on media and much more.
E-Lacrosse has also launched its new blog platform. The bloggers on this site are actual lacrosse players, fans, coaches and players both past and current. Our blogging site brings the reader real life takes on the sport and what's going on with teams and organizations from around the globe.
When all is said and done, E-Lacrosse has plans in 2009 to integrate its LaxSpot into the entire site to further promote friendship, collaboration and the sharing of the only complete lacrosse experience on the web.

There may be no more frustrating part of being a sports fan than having no control.
Like in 2005 when I watched Game 5 of the NBA Finals in an Elmore bar willing Rasheed Wallace to guard Robert Horry when the game was on the line. Did it work? No. Instead, I got to watch in misery as the Will Smith lookalike buried the gamewinner for the Spurs in overtime.
Or Sunday when I was at Progressive Field watching Papa Grande blow a save situation and subsequently push the Tigers farther back in the AL Central standings.
It's a wonder that fantasy sports are so popular as it's just as maddening as it is satisfying.
What it's provided for me this week is something to take my mind off the Tigers seemingly squandering their season away.
A guy who should be squandered away on your bench this week is Mikel Leshoure. The Lions running back was drafted last season but hasn't appeared in a regular season game yet. He tore his Achilles last year in the preseason and subsequently spent his year on the IR. Thanks to some ingestion of some "herbal" supplements this offseason, he was suspended the first two games of the year. Now he gets to make his debut this weekend.
Kevin Smith has been what we've seen before in the first half, Joique Bell stole some of his carries away. Leshoure was a beast at Illinois and the Lions need someone to be able to run the ball effectively to keep defenses honest. Even former fantasy stars Ryan Grant and Steve Slaton made appearances in Detroit this week for tryouts. While he's unproven, it won't take much to wrestle the starting job away. Certainly worth a flyer.
Speaking of flyers, where did Dennis Pitta come from? Well, if you were paying attention last year, and judging by his ownership at the beginning of the season, you weren't, he finished 2011 strong. He outpaced Ed Hickson in the last six weeks of the year scoring three touchdowns among 15 catches and 161 yards.
In the first two weeks of this year, the Baltimore tight end leads all TEs in targets this year with 24. He's made 13 grabs for 138 yards and a score. Definitely worth a pickup as Flacco is clearly seeking him out so far this year.
Another sought out tight end so far is Martellus Bennett of the Giants. Keep in mind, Jake Ballard last year quietly had a nice season with 604 yards and four scores. With Ballard out of the picture, there's no reason to think Bennett couldn't exceed those numbers. With nine catches among 16 targets, Bennett has amassed 112 yards already and two scores. Think Marcedes Lewis of 2010, except with a much better quarterback.
The last tight end to talk about is Kellen Winslow, who is no soldier by any wild stretch of the imagination. But he is employed again as the Patriots signed him to replace Aaron Hernandez who will be out until mid October minimum with an ankle sprain. Winslow was a top 13 TE last year with 763 yards and two scores. New England loves their tight ends and if you lost Hernandez, Winslow could be a nice stop gap in the meantime to plug that hole.
A couple of other running backs to keep an eye on this week are Andre Brown and Daryl Richardson.
Brown takes over for the injured Ahmad Bradshaw who is expected to be tonight. He had a respectable 90 yards on 15 touches and a touchdown in relief of Bradshaw last week. Certainly worth picking up as a handcuff if you area Bradshaw owner but I wouldn't expect much out of him long term at this point. And David Wilson owners may want to pay attention that it was Brown that got the touches, not Wilson, when Bradshaw went out.
Richardson is the other rookie by the same name, just not as costly for the Rams as his namesake was for the Browns. The Abilene Christian rookie came in relief of Steven Jackson last week, getting 17 touches for 102 yards. Interestingly enough, like the Wilson situation above, it was Richardson getting the call and not Isaiah Pead, who many Jackson owners drafted as his handcuff (or eventual replacement). Jackson has a groin injury, which is an injury that's kept him out in previous seasons for a game or two so Richardson is worth the pickup if you are Jackson's owner or to replace Pead.
The last name of the week is Danny Amendola. He's a PPR (point per catch) dream. He already has 20 grabs in two games for 230 yards and a score. He's been targeted 25 times and yet we act surprised. Amendola was hurt most of last year but in 2010 he had 85 catches for 689 yards and three touchdowns. He's clearly Sam Bradford's No. 1 target and should be owned in all leagues, yet he's still not.
Take a lesson from Rasheed Wallace and play some defense. Pick up Amendola before your competition does.
