About Oleta River State Park
Florida's largest urban park, Oleta River is located on Biscayne Bay in the busy Miami metropolitan area. Although it offers a variety of recreational opportunities, the park is best known for miles of off-road bicycling trails, ranging from novice trails to challenging trails for experienced bicyclists.
Along the Oleta River, at the north end of the park, a large stand of beautiful mangrove forest preserves native South Florida plants and wildlife. Canoeists and kayakers can paddle the river to explore this amazing natural area.
Swimming from a 1,200-foot sandy beach and saltwater fishing are also popular activities. Picnic tables and grills are available. Nine pavilions can be rented for a fee. All have water, and the largest one has electricity.
Visitors can rent kayaks, canoes, and bicycles. The park has a loaner system for bicycle helmets. For overnight visits, the park has rustic, air-conditioned cabins and a youth campground for organized groups.
Beach & Swimming
Visitors can enjoy the sandy beach and swim in the saltwater lagoon off Biscayne Bay. Lifeguards are not present on the beach, so swim at your own risk. Public showers are provided.
Oleta River State Park currently has over 10 miles of challenging, intermediate mountain bike trails. For the beginner, there are over 4 miles of novice trails and 3 miles of paved trail. The paved trail also offers great conditions for roller blading. The park is very conscious about safety on the trails and provides a bicycle helmet loaner system for those who forget their bicycle helmets.
Canoeing and Kayaking
Canoeing and kayaking is available along the calm waters of Biscayne Bay adjacent from the Haulover Inlet. Several routes to choose from that consist of open water and mangrove trails and the Oleta River.
The fishing pier is always a popular site for fishing as well as the shores of the park along the Intracoastal Waterway that borders the eastern boundary of the park.
Concession & Restaurant
The BlueMoon Outdoor Center rents canoes, kayaks, stand up paddleboards, and mountain bikes. The store has general merchandise, bait and snack items. The Blue Marlin Fish House restaurant is located outside the park at 2500 N.E. 163rd Street.
Ranger Programs
A ranger-guided nature walk is offered on weekends at 10 am. Join a park naturalist for a guided, one-hour walk through several of the park's unique natural communities. Comfortable walking shoes, drinking water, sunscreen and insect repellent are recommended. Tour begins on the east side of Parking Lot 8. For additional information, please call the Ranger Station at 305-919-1846. Free with park admission.
Cabins and Camping
Fourteen quaint little cabins, with covered porches and picnic tables, provide a great place to relax, with the convenience of being near shopping, restaurants and entertainment in Miami. Most cabins are equipped with one double bed, a bunk bed and air conditioning. Reservations may be made up to 11 months in advance through ReserveAmerica, or by calling 800-326-3521.
The Youth Group Camping Area is available for organized youth groups 18 and under. There are three primitive campsites which can accommodate 30 campers each. Each site is equipped with two tables, a fire circle, restroom and cold water shower. There is no electricity in the primitive camp. Call the park for more information and reservations at 305-919-1844.

Help Corinne Heavner a U19 get to Milwaukee!
Corinne Heavner fundraising for NEW YORK RUGBY CLUB INC
Family, Friends and Team Mates,
My name is Corinne Heavner and I am a current u19 captain. I am 15 years old, going to be a junior in high school and I love rugby! I have been with NYRC for three years now and I have been very dedicated to the club along with grateful for all the things that NYRC has done for me. Along with improving my skills and love for rugby, NYRC has made be a better person by making sure I keep up in school and giving me a mentor to help me with anything.
Some accomplishments in rugby I have achieved have been making captain of the NYRC u19 rugby team, playing with MetNY select side rugby team for 3 years and playing on the USA u17 team last summer.
This Summer I plan on improving my rugby skills greatly by attending as much rugby camps as possible.
The camp i want to go to is in Milwaukee and is the u20 Women's National Team Flight Camp. Its is four day camp that is led by the u20 national coach Bryn Chivers along with the u20 assistant coaches Danielle Miller and Karl Barth. I attended this camp last year and it got me a spot on the u17 national team. I hope that this year will result in the same way or even better. The cost of this camp is $250 and the cost of the flight is about $250
What I am asking of you is to help me with a scholarship of any amount, towards the $1,000 that I must raise to get to these camps, that will greatly help me achieve my goal of making the USA women's national team. NYRC is a 501 3c club which means that all donation are tax deductible. Any donation amount is helpful, it all adds up!
Yours in Rugby,
Corinne Heavner

2010 was a rapid-fire year for smartphones. In November, 45 percent of recent acquirers chose a smartphone over a feature phone, according to Nielsen.
U.S. consumers have purchased a total of 89 million iPhones, more than any other smartphone. The long-awaited announcement that the iPhone will be available on the Verizon network, combined with the rumored iPhone 5 release in summer 2011, will further boost Apple sales. Nielsen reports that despite Android's surge among recent acquirers, Apple still takes the lead in overall consumer market share by almost 3% at 28.6%.
Although the iPhone is still hot as the smartphone to beat, it's meeting fierce competition and sold 4 million fewer phones than Android-powered phones in the second half of 2010 (USA Today). It seems like every few days, another model came out, making it extremely challenging to keep up with the latest and the greatest. But all the innovations in technology have made for some very exciting new gadgets that people can't wait to get their hands on. Let's check out the very best that the smartphone world has to offer.
Apple iPhone 4 (AT&T and Verizon coming soon)
This is the smartphone with the most brilliantly clear display going. At a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels (which are each 78 micrometers wide, too small for the human eye to distinguish), Apple is leading the pack. When you want to check out something on your iPhone, you know it's going to look its very best. Not only does the iPhone 4 have the sleek design that characterizes all iPhones (at 9.3 millimeters thin, it's the world's thinnest smartphone), but also this model is especially sturdy. In order to protect the screen from scratches (and make it recyclable), Apple encased the iPhone in aluminosilicate glass, the same type of glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. The front-facing built-in camera is convenient for making FaceTime calls and shooting self-portraits.
HTC EVO 4G (Sprint)
This is the world's first 4G phone and comes packed with impressive things like two cameras over the iPhone 4's single camera (an 8–megapixel primary and a 1.3–megapixel front-facing one for more photo options), HDTV connectivity, and the ability to download, edit, and use HD content right on the phone. Another interesting feature is that the EVO has a kickstand on the back, rather like a bicycle. The difference is that this is a "bicycle" that can watch YouTube videos and search Google Maps in high-definition. Sprint Navigation's turn-by-turn driving directions and HTC Sense's Friend Stream, which integrates social media updates into a single flow, make life on-the-go easy.
Samsung Focus (AT&T)
This is a phone that feels great in your hand. It also features a sweet little 480 x 800 pixel display, which makes the Windows Phone 7 operating system look very nice. The best part of this phone isn't its physical features, but that it's based on Microsoft's new portable OS. Microsoft has taken People, Pictures and Camera, MS Office, Music and Videos, Marketplace, and Games, and turned them into "hubs," or the centers of organization for the phone. This, plus the complete customization you can do on the start screen (including adding your favorite programs, playlists, and websites, as well as removing anything you don't want), makes the Focus a great productivity device.
Motorola Droid X (Verizon)
The Droid X is easy to use in all different kinds of lighting conditions, even out in bright sunshine. And in spite of the hump for the HD camera, the Droid X is a svelte, beautifully designed machine. Motorola has even included a neat little keyboard program that allows you to type without lifting your fingers off of the screen, known as Swype. Its large display and fast TI processor make web browsing and gaming awesome.
Up to Bat in 2011
We're excited to see what the mobile industry has to offer as we usher in a new decade. Released in the last couple weeks of 2010, Nexus S improves on the somewhat failed Nexus One and showcases Gingerbread, the latest 2.3 version of the Android OS. Lots more devices were unveiled at 2011 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show, the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow). Mashable covers CES news and reviews here.
Smartphones came a long way in 2010. What are your favorites, and what do you think would be cool to see in 2011? How about favorite apps?

One of MARTIN'S other main core charitable efforts is improving the quality of life for children. Nationally 170 Children's
Miracle Network hospitals provide the finest medical care, life-saving research and preventative education to help millions of kids overcome disease and injuries of every kind.
Each year we hold several major events to support Children's Miracle Network hospitals located in our own backyard. Every July, we host the Our Kids Golf Outing when more than 1,700 participating associates and vendors tee up at 12 golf courses in one day. MARTIN'S has raised $22 million for the Children's Miracle Network to provide medical care for children. During the holiday season, MARTIN'S sells paper candles to our customers for $1 through the Candles for Kids program. We sponsor a similar program in June with paper balloons.

Keeping up during an economic downturn means focusing on smart business moves and making a few tweaks. What you might let
slide in a normal economic climate—capturing all charges and providing great client service—will only be amplified and painfully
obvious to you in bad economic times. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1. Provide stellar customer service. If you go above and beyond, clients will choose to spend at your practice even when money's
2. Do everything you can to keep your team happy and in place. Consider layoffs only as a last option.
4. Get a grasp on your practice finances. Track your transaction volume and your average transaction amount. You can't fix
things if you don't know what's wrong.
5. Check inventory to be sure you're not overordering. Keep your stock as lean as possible.
6. Delegate more to team members so you can keep the appointment book full and focus on client visits.

"What does a lesbian bring on a second date?" asks stand-up comic, and Broadway actress Lea DeLaria, who often bases jokes on her experience as a gay woman. "A U-Haul."
That's because on the first date, she says, they fall madly in love. On the second, they move in. Six months later, they stop having sex.

Strollers for Quadruplets
Four-seat quadruplet strollers are available and are a convenient -- though pricy -- option for transporting quadruplets. One of the most prevalent brands is from Runabout, a company that crafts multi-seat tandem strollers with hand-welded steel frames. They are quite expensive, costing nearly $1000 new from the manufacturer, but are widely available on the secondary market. (Triplet Connection also offers discounts for parents of multiples.)
Another option is the Foundations Quad Stroller (compare prices), a more portable umbrella-style stroller. This model is cheaper, lighter in weight, and collapsible, but much less rugged than Runabout models.

This working group will explore whether federal records on interceptions of non-native forest pests and pathogens can be used to identify species that may colonize the United States during the next several decades. The group will attempt to estimate the economic and ecological costs of such colonizations given different volumes and origins of trade. In addition, the group will explore how different policies related to interdiction, detection, or eradication may affect costs.

Original recipe yields 4 servings
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in salt, red onions and sweet onions. Cook 35 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are caramelized and almost syrupy.
- Mix chicken broth, beef broth, red wine and Worcestershire sauce into pot. Bundle the parsley, thyme, and bay leaf with twine and place in pot. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard the herbs. Reduce the heat to low, mix in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep over low heat to stay hot while you prepare the bread.
- Preheat oven broiler. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet and broil 3 minutes, turning once, until well toasted on both sides. Remove from heat; do not turn off broiler.
- Arrange 4 large oven safe bowls or crocks on a rimmed baking sheet. Fill each bowl 2/3 full with hot soup. Top each bowl with 1 slice toasted bread, 2 slice Gruyere cheese and 1/4 of the Asiago or mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle a little bit of paprika over the top of each one.
- Broil 5 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. As it softens, the cheese will cascade over the sides of the crock and form a beautifully melted crusty seal. Serve immediately!

Hi! Recipe creator/contributor here. Thanks for trying the onion soup and for all the thoughtful reviews. Just a couple of comments I thought might be helpful. The 1 teaspoon of salt in the beginning of the recipe cannot be omitted as it is necessary for the proper caramelization of the onions. However, at the conclusion of the simmering process, please be sure to taste the soup before deciding to add any more salt (or pepper). Also, the addition of balsamic vinegar at the end is very important--not only for taste--but also because there's a chemical in red onions that tends to turn the soup gray and cloudy, and the balsamic vinegar corrects that. Lastly, while my broiler does take 4-5 minutes to melt the cheese properly, that's probably because I place the baking sheet on a lower rack. Yours may take less time. Well, thanks again for all your kind comments... and, enjoy!
ONE MORE TIME... Have made this again and, again, wasn't disappointed. THIS IS THE BEST, without exception! Anyone looking for the best Onion Soup Recipe on the Planet? You found it! This was the most incredible onion soup recipe we have ever tried. We followed the recipe exactly. .Make sure you cook the onions as suggested to almost a carmelized soft, syrupy, consistency. You may not need to adjust the salt in the end; the combination of beef and chicken broth and the Worcestershire and balsamic vinegar may be salty enough for many. The bottom line to this review, is if you want to really impress your family and friends with a onion soup recipe that is better than any restaurant recipe we have ever tried, USE THIS ONE! You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us.
One recommendation: I use croutons rather than sliced French bread. It is much easier than cutting through a thick piece of cheese-covered bread. Guests and family say they like that: it adds to the enjoyment and ease of eating without losing any visual appeal.

The clocks have gone back so the days are now shorter and it is time to slow down – at least in where cooking is concerned. November is the month to dig out the soup pots, slow cookers and casserole dishes, as food rapidly puts on weight right now with rich comforting stews, soups, pies and puddings much needed.
Plummeting temperatures are very important when it comes to winter veg as a hefty nip of frost on many root vegetables means it is time to start eating them. No gardener would ever dream of pulling up a parsnip, swede or sprout before the frost as the veggies react to it by producing sugars, which then turns them from bitter to sweet. So, though they are now available in the shops, it may be worth waiting for Jack to put in appearance before you buy.
One root making its first appearance of the year in November is the misnamed Jerusalem Artichoke; misnamed because it bears no relationship whatsoever with Jerusalem or with artichokes. The knobbly, little tubers look much like a ginger root but when cooked more resemble the potato but with a distinctive sweet, nutty flavour. Cook much as you would a potato, they make a luscious soup, and are good in a gratin. The Jerusalem artichoke is stacked with nutrients, so is good for you but beware, they have a powerful wind-producing effect…
So that's the underground stuff taken care of, but there's plenty above as well. Cabbages, kale, chard and perpetual spinach will ensure you can keep up with your greens in the winter months. If they seem a little on the boring side then there's always Cavolo Nero, a posh, black cabbage from Tuscany, now widely grown in Britain.
November still has plenty of excitement in store for the foodie and it comes in the form of great fish and seafood: as the sea gets colder, lobster, mussels, scallops, monkfish, plaice and Pollack get fatter and tastier so are at their best right now. Wild and farmed rabbit, hare, guinea fowl and venison play a starring role for the meat-eaters' autumnal plate, and fruits come in the form of figs, satsuma's and a long-overlooked fruit, the quince.
Quince was once the pride of the Victorian garden but the furry, golden-coloured fruits seemed far too fiddly for the modern kitchen until a few enterprising chefs got their hands on them and reacquainted the quince with game and fatty meats in the form of jellies, cheeses and chutneys and to the sweet trolley poached in luscious boozy syrups.
This month there is no avoiding the appearance from that butt of British food jokes, the Brussels Sprout. 40,000 tonnes may be bought in the UK each year but undoubtedly, 39999 will be boiled to death, (if the myth about British Food is to be believed). The humble sprout has only been in Britain for a 100 or so years, so how it came to be part of a traditional Christmas dinner is anyone's guess? The Brussels Sprout is so underrated, especially as not only do they taste good they are stacked with vitamins. On a trip to Australia recently, I was served Brussels Sprouts with fish, not a way of serving them I had ever thought of, but the sprout had been deconstructed leaf by leaf, steamed for one minute, wafted through salty butter and served alongside the fish with a caper sauce – sublime. But, maybe life is just a little too short for deconstructing a sprout?

Identification of chemerin receptor (ChemR23) in human endothelial cells: chemerin-induced endothelial angiogenesis

Chemerin acting via its distinct G protein-coupled receptor CMKLR1 (ChemR23), is a novel adipokine, circulating levels of which are raised in inflammatory states. Chemerin shows strong correlation with various facets of the metabolic syndrome; these states are associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and dysregulated angiogenesis. We therefore, investigated the regulation of ChemR23 by pro-inflammatory cytokines and assessed the angiogenic potential of chemerin in human endothelial cells (EC). We have demonstrated the novel presence of ChemR23 in human ECs and its significant up-regulation (P < 0.001) by pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. More importantly, chemerin was potently angiogenic, as assessed by conducting functional in-vitro angiogenic assays; chemerin also dose-dependently induced gelatinolytic (MMP-2 & MMP-9) activity of ECs (P < 0.001). Furthermore, chemerin dose-dependently activated PI3K/Akt and MAPKs pathways (P < 0.01), key angiogenic and cell survival cascades. Our data provide the first evidence of chemerin-induced endothelial angiogenesis and MMP production and activity.

Submitted by the North Reading Secondary Schools Building Committee.
The SSBC would like to update you with the upcoming schedule of events that is happening with the building project.
We will be having a meeting with the abutters of the school project on June 12 at 7 p.m. in the Large Group Room in the . On June 26 and 28, we will have our SSBC meetings at 6:30 p.m. in the modular café.
Our Owner's Project Manger (OPM), PMA Consultants, has been working with our Construction Manager, Gilbane, in securing a moving company to relocate the middle school modular classrooms and relocate/install temporary utilities. They have had multiple meetings with the teachers to pack up the modular class rooms and make the move go smoothly.
The move of the modular classrooms will happen immediately after the close of school on June 18.
Clearing of trees in the front of the middle school will occur to create a temporary parking lot and pick up/drop off area due to the loss of the parking area east of the middle school that is currently used. Clearing of the area behind the middle school, the field and tennis courts, will take place to allow set up of the trailers and parking for the Construction Manager and construction crew.
A gated temporary fencing and environmental protection will be set up around the construction site for safety. Installation of a temporary road that will allow deliveries to the back of the middle school during construction phase 1 should be complete by July.
The move back into the relocated modular classrooms and set up of the classrooms as well as signage and traffic controls in the front of the middle school will be complete on later than Aug. 15 (before the start of school).

Searching for S.Y. Agnon's first novella
By BEN SALES/JTA

On 100th anniversary of book's publication, Israeli organization is searching for first copies of Agnon's first novella.

Except one: the first edition of his first book.
This year, on the 100th anniversary of that book's publication, an Israeli organization is searching for the first copies of Agnon's first novella, "And the Crooked Shall Be Made Straight."
An unusual tale lies behind the book's first printing: Yosef Haim Brenner, who in 1912 was a more prominent Hebrew author than Agnon, liked the latter's writing and sold a pair of suspenders to fund the novella's publication. At the time, Agnon had published popular short stories but no longer works.
Brenner printed 50 editions of the novella in Jerusalem, sending 30 to a small community of Hebrew speakers in New York who had emigrated from Agnon's native Galicia, an area that overlaps the border of present-day Poland and Ukraine.
A century later, just two of those 50 editions have been located: one in Israel's national library and the other in the Agnon family's private collection.
Agnon House, the group that maintains the author's Jerusalem home as a museum, is on a mission to find others.
Although the writer, who died in 1970, lived in Jerusalem, "And the Crooked Shall Be Made Straight" is among his few works that were printed there.
"We saw a lot of symbolism in this," said Eilat Liber, director of Agnon House. "He wanted to live in Jerusalem. In his [1966] Nobel Prize speech, he said he felt 'as one who was born in Jerusalem,' " even though he was born in Galicia.
The hunt has taken Liber far from Agnon's beloved city, with Agnon House searching the United States for books. The search has yielded nothing -- not even a few leads, although Liber hopes to find copies in American libraries and private collections.
During a cursory search, JTA was able to locate copies of a later 1912 printing of the book from Jaffa at Brandeis and Hebrew universities -- but not a first edition.
The search is one of a few efforts this year to celebrate "And the Crooked Shall Be Made Straight," which follows a childless couple through tragedy in Agnon's native town of Buczacz, in present-day Ukraine. The novella's first English translation is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
Michael Kramer, the translator, praised Agnon's rich and intricate language.
Agnon's writing in the novella and in later works is laden with allusions to the Talmud, Midrash, Bible and Chasidic tales.
Using the book's first edition, Kramer said, will allow him to translate with greater accuracy and better knowledge of Agnon's intent.
"When I started translating the book, it was clear that it was a kind of mission impossible," said Kramer, a professor at Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv. "On the one hand, I wanted to create a text that would render the story in an interesting and accessible way, but on the other hand, reading Agnon in Hebrew demands the kind of cultural literacy that is untranslatable."
To stay faithful to Agnon's textual references, Kramer is using the King James Bible and legalistic, Talmudic language. He believes the story, despite the esoteric nature of Agnon's writing, is relevant to American Jews.
"It reminds me of [Nathaniel] Hawthorne's 'Scarlet Letter,' " Kramer said. "What Hawthorne did for Puritan New England, Agnon did for 19th-century Jewish life in Galicia. It's a story about the constancy of life that will attract all readers."
The window Agnon provides into the world of Eastern European Jewry also has begun to attract a new generation of Israeli readers to the author, says Liber.
"For many years, Israelis didn't want to know about Jewish life in the exile, and now there's more interest in Yiddish and in the generation of Agnon," Liber said. "Israelis are going to Poland and Ukraine not because of the Holocaust but to see the synagogues and shtetls."
In another aspect of the celebration, Liber plans to lead a trip to Galicia to explore Agnon's roots.
That world may seem alien to today's readers, but Alan Mintz, an Agnon expert and translator, said that "And the Crooked" was revolutionary to Hebrew readers a century ago, when most books about Eastern Europe satirized life there.
"He took a chance writing his first longer work going back to Eastern Europe and showing that this is a world in which serious ethical and human dilemmas could be portrayed," said Mintz, a professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.
While the translation's publisher, Matthew Miller, thinks Jewish readers will enjoy the novella, he expects that many copies will be bought for college classes on Hebrew literature.
Miller's Toby Press has published some of Agnon's more well-known works, such as "To This Day" and "A Simple Story."
Lamenting a decline in Jewish literacy among American Jews most likely to read novels, Miller hopes that this book will introduce readers to the wide variety of Jewish texts.
"It would be nice if a modern American Jewish reader would discover that Jewish literacy," Miller said. "Maybe Agnon will be a spur to regain it."

Police were called to Burger King, 14300 S. Cicero Avenue, after employees reported an armed robbery on Dec. 17.
The two employees told officers that a black male, approximately 5-feet-5-inches tall, of medium build and wearing dark clothes, black gloves, a fake beard and possibly a wig, brandishing a small, silver revolver, entered the store at 7:25 a.m. As he entered, he asked the two employees if there was anyone else in the store, and both answered that there were not.
The robber then came behind the counter of the store and removed all the paper money from the register, before ordering the employees towards the office to empty the safe. While emptying the safe, the offender told the employees to unwrap all the paper bills and place them in a plastic bag he was carrying. He instructed the employees to leave all coin currency in the safe.
After loading approximately $800 into the bag, the offender ordered the employees into the walk-in freeze of the store and told them not to come out. The offender locked the employees inside, checking twice to make sure they would stay in the freezer.
After several minutes, the employees exited the freezer and immediately called police. Police were unable to find any fingerprints at the scene due to the offender wearing gloves, and video surveillance of the store was not operating at the time.
Two days prior to the robbery, a transformer blew behind the store, which was reported to police and ComEd. ComEd told officers that there was a report of a blown transformer on Dec. 15, but that a check of the area revealed no such damage.

Michal Neuvirth will start for in goal the Washington Capitals on Sunday afternoon against the Buffalo Sabres. Coach Adam Oates confirmed Saturday that Neuvirth will make his third straight start.
It would have been stunning had Braden Holtby gotten the nod, given Neuvirth's brilliant performance in Friday night's overtime loss at the New Jersey Devils. Neuvirth played both sides of the back-to-backs.
"Actually I felt pretty good," Neuvirth said. "I didn't have a lot of work [Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens] in the third period. I didn't skate [Friday] morning and I feel good the whole game."
John Carlson could again play with John Erskine as the 22-year-old defenseman tries to shake out of a rough stretch. Carlson has been on the ice for the past seven goals against and 12 of 17 that the Caps have allowed.
"He plays a lot of minutes so he's going to have more goals against," Oates explained. "He plays a lot of vulnerable minutes in terms of PK, etc. and that happens. That number doesn't bother me at all."
Assistant coach Calle Johansson said last week that Carlson perhaps lacked "focus" because his talent made so much of the game come so easy.
"Maybe it's a little fatigue sometimes," Oates said. "Maybe it's just a little bit of the system, a little bit of responsibilities that we ask versus last year. All in all I think he's playing very great hockey for us."
It remains to be seen whether defenseman Tom Poti will be back in the lineup against the Sabres. Poti played in each of the first three games after a remarkable comeback from a groin injury and fractured pelvis.
Poti sat out Friday night's game at the Devils, but the 35-year-old said nothing was wrong.
"I'm doing OK," Poti said. "Had a little talk with the guys [Friday] and a little bit of a lot of games in a lot of nights and a little bit of that, a little bit of timing stuff. Nothing too crazy."
Oates didn't have much of an update Saturday on forward Brooks Laich, who's on the non-roster list with a groin injury.
"He's here. Just still going through the process of we don't want to rush him, we don't want to set him back," Oates said. "He took a day off but he has been skating, very lightly, very gingerly."
There is no timetable for Laich to return to practice, let alone game action.

Here's an example: http://relaxedmachinery.ning.com/profiles/blogs/blog-copypaste-example-for
I would repost that same one under your name so people know it's from you... when you do - I'll delete my example.
I just read a few entries on your blog - and enjoyed your writing style and of course, what you're talking about. Yes - wonderful thing for you to repost here.
A quick copy/paste works nicely - even brings pictures and widgets and things with it if you're in visual edit. That's how I do the "member of the day" posts so quickly.
You could either repost the whole post (which would be great!) - or if you prefer to drive people to your original - post like half of it here in a blog - and then a link to the rest on your site. Up to you.
I truly think many people would enjoy reading your posts - so go for it!

The BMW X3 has long been a strong contender for anyone after a large 4x4; we named it our SUV of the Year between 2011 and 2013. Now the car has been updated with cosmetic changes and more efficient engine options.
The new look incorporates different front and rear bumpers, revised headlights that look a little sleeker than the ones they replace and a new surround for the double-kidney grille. It's a refresh that's designed to make the X3 look more like its big brother, the X5.
The changes to the engine line-up are more significant, with an all-new 2.0-litre diesel engine that promises to be more refined than the unit it replaces, as well as trimming a few g/km off its CO2 emissions.
What's the 2014 BMW X3 like to drive?
The weakest spot of the old X3 was BMW's 2.0-litre diesel engine, which offered decent economy and CO2 emissions but was beginning to sound increasingly noisy compared with the more modern units offered by several rivals.
The good news is that the new motor in the revised model (available in the xDrive20d tested here and, in detuned form, in the rear-wheel-drive sDrive18d) is a much more accomplished performer.
In xDrive20d form the engine has 187bhp and 295lb ft of torque; that's more than enough to ensure comfortable progress in a car of the X3's size, and the low-rev grunt means you rarely have to stress the engine.
Our test car had the optional eight-speed automatic transmission, which is superb; in manual mode it offers smooth, seamless changes. It's also worth noting than on the xDrive20d model the auto is actually more efficient than the manual (138g/km of CO2 emissions compared with 143g/km).
On all models except the xDrive35d, incidentally, you can also choose an optional 17in wheel and low-rolling-resistance-tyre package (£340) that cuts a further 7g/km from the CO2 emissions.
The most noticeable difference comes in refinement. While the old xDrive20d's engine could be heard at motorway speeds, the new edition's engine note fades nicely into the background when you're cruising along. At higher speeds you're more likely to be bothered by road noise or a modest rush of wind noise from around the windscreen pillars and door mirrors.
The rest of the X3 package is largely unchanged, but that's no bad thing. The ride is undeniably firm but there's enough sophistication in the suspension set-up to keep things comfortable over pock-marked roads. Body control is excellent for an SUV of this size, and while the steering may be a bit heavy for some, it's precise. The X3 does feel capable of swift progress along a B-road, with a surprising amount of involvement for a big 4x4.
What's the 2014 BMW X3 like inside?
Don't expect the face-lifted X3's cabin to feel like a different world compared with the outgoing model's. You get a bit more chrome detailing, different materials on the centre console and a leather steering wheel as standard across the range. An updated infotainment system includes the latest iDrive rotary controller, complete with integrated touch-pad on the top. BMW has also added an automatic parking system, a gesture-controlled rear hatch, a head-up display and auto-dipping headlights to the (extensive) options list.
There's decent space up front for two adults, and two more grown-ups will be comfortable enough in the rear. The central transmission tunnel is likely to make life uncomfortable for a middle passenger in the back, however.
Boot space is unchanged in the face-lifted car, so you get 550 litres with the rear seats in place or 1600 litres with them folded down. That's more than the capacity of a Land Rover Discovery, although the Disco is much larger with them down.
Should I buy one?
The BMW X3 was a strong package before, and the revisions to the car are in all the right areas. In particular, the new 2.0-litre diesel engine's refinement makes the car an even more accomplished all-rounder. If you're in the market for a refined, comfortable, well-finished and practical family SUV, the X3 should be at the top of your shortlist.

There are three street cars at the moment and overhead catenary wire powers the cars. The street cars visit great destinations in North Little Rock too, so the cars connects the two cities. This is great news for tourists & locals.
Where do they run?:
You can see them all over downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock. The River Rail route includes Verizon Arena, the Statehouse Convention Center, the River Market itself, both state houses, the historic Argenta neighborhood, numerous restaurants and hotels, the Historic Arkansas Museum, the Museum of Discovery, the main branch of the Central Arkansas Library System, two Chambers of Commerce, courthouses, the Robinson Auditorium Concert Hall, the Riverfront Amphitheater and more. Hotels that can be reached on the River Rail include the DoubleTree Hotel, the Capital Hotel, the Peabody Hotel (home of the ducks) and the Courtyard By Marriott.
Where can I catch them?:
The streetcar route uses the Main Street Bridge to connect the two cities. There are a total of eleven stops on Markham and Second Streets between Spring and Commerce in Little Rock, and Main Street, Seventh Street and Maple Street in North Little Rock. You can check out the map to see the stops in a graphic form.
How much does it cost?:
The whole point of the project is to make an easy and cheap way to get around downtown and I think they've done that. Most major attractions are connected and it is just $1.00 round trip (new price in March of '08) for adults and it is free for kids. A day pass is just $2.00.
What hours do they run?:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 11 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday 11 a.m. - Midnight
Sunday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Hotel managers do experience stress. Some may even feel that they are on call 24 hours a day, since the business never closes. Client expectations vary, and there will always be customers unhappy about the fluffiness of the pillows or the sudsiness of the soap, no matter how hard you try.
The reality is that a Hotel Manager must be dedicated to and happy with meeting customers' needs so that the thousands of details required to run a successful business don't become stressful.

Seeding the Cumberlands
I spent one day last week with Terri Ballinger, a seasonal naturalist for Cumberland Trail State Park. She is spearheading a really interesting project that involves collecting seeds from plants along the trail's North Chickamauga Creek Gorge Section (near Soddy-Daisy). Some of these seeds will be placed in cold storage as part of a program called Seeds of Success that preserves plant genetics in the face of threats such as catastrophic wildfires or even climate change. Tennessee state parks is the only agency actively collecting and banking native Southeast seeds in this manner.
Another thrust of the program is the restoration of a pine plantation that the state purchased from Bowater Inc. a few years back. The Cumberland Trail folks are working to turn this pine monoculture into a native hardwood forest characteristic of the rest of the Plateau. Right now, they're doing the prep work - removing invasives and burning the acreage to get rid of the pine. The Cumberland Trail eventually will come through this pine stand, so they're working to improve not just the ecology, but the native scenery, too.
I was so impressed by the volunteers that are pitching in on this. The funding is coming from Friends of the Cumberland Trail, with manpower provided by the Master Gardeners of Hamilton County. Below is a photo taken that day of workers collecting seed along the Cumberland Trail. On the left is Terri Ballinger with the Cumberland Trail, and to her right is Joyce McLain, a volunteer from Chattanooga.

The certified letter notifying him of his discharge was sent to the address of his (estranged) father.
07/22/10-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire
Lieutenant Daniel Choi has been more than willing to hide the fact that he was discharged on 29 June. On 8 July, Choi even claimed "I am paid by the Army and the Veterans Affairs (50% service disability)" in a text exchange between him and Dr. Paula Brooks. He was informed of his discharge by Lieutenant Colonel Paul A. Fanning by phone on that day. He was informed by certified mail as well, and someone by his surname signed for that letter. According to the letter, a memorandum dated 21 June 2010 concerned "withdraw of Federal Recognition for 1LT Choi, Daniel W., New York National Guard." Choi was discharged under Don't Ask, Don't Tell. This means that he is no longer paid by the military.
Why has Choi been unwilling to admit that he was discharged until tonight? Why has he not been willing to admit it until tonight? His discharge would have been the ultimate propaganda coup for him and his group, but then, it creates a bigger problem for Choi. It has been twenty-four days since Choi was officially discharged, and certainly been more than willing to wear his uniform in public. Indeed, he may have been in violation of the law by doing so since it is a violation for anyone who is not within the military to wear an official military uniform.
Daniel Choi has disgraced his uniform by continuing to wear it despite being discharged, and he has used it in such a manner which is, ultimately, a prop for him in the political theater that he has engaged in with Get Equal. He has been more than willing to wear his uniform while handcuffed to the White House fence, angering many servicemembers and even turning them against the cause of repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Choi's constant use of his uniform as a costume for his appearances in public have, ultimately, turned many within the military against him, and likely even made it harder for many leaders within the LGBT movement to approach the military chiefs in a manner which could have and even were making them at least less hostile towards repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
The tactics used by Dan Choi, who claims to have no affiliation with Get Equal, and the group he has been arrested the most with, namely Get Equal, have been problematic at best. While it may seem like targeting Senator Harry Reid may feel nice, stopping traffic in one of the most heavily trafficked areas in his state is not the best way to get people on our side. Instead of targeting the swing votes on legislation like the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, Choi and Get Equal have done their best to attack those who are ardent supporters of the LGBT movement. Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid cannot move on legislation that they do not have the votes for, and by targeting them instead of targeting those who do not support pro-LGBT legislation, all Choi and Get Equal do is waste valuable time and energy.
While it is regrettable that Dan Choi was discharged, he has chosen to act in a manner that is beyond disrespectful of the women and men who serve in the military. These are the women and men he is suppose to be trying to help, and instead, he had done so much to make repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell that much harder, and made it that much harder for them while in the service.
He has also hidden his discharge from the eyes of the public. This is a man who has been strongly and adamantly in favor of repealing DADT, and yet, when he is discharged, he is silent until tonight on The Rachel Maddow Show. He refuses to admit to having been informed at the time, and has said that he was informed by the media at a later time. The question is, why did he have to hide this until tonight?
The certified letter notifying him of his discharge was sent to the address of his (estranged) father.
It appears that the reason he didn't publicise his discharge is because he wasn't informed of it. They sent the certified letter to the wrong address, and the recipient didn't inform him.
"he has chosen to act in a manner that is beyond disrespectful of the women and men who serve in the military."
No. Fuck you.
Hmmmm, Dan claims he doesn't have a job yet is bragging around DC that he is going to buy a condo at the Floridian off of U Street. How can an unemployed man get a mortgage?
It's only one source, but Dan's good buddy from GETEQUAL is now on vacation and no longer doing movement work. Check out this site for more info, http://tinyurl.com/2e445d8,
I am still very disappointed in the fact that Lt, Choi and his agent will not help out our kids at Texas Tech University. He told the President that he wanted to be paid 7000 dollars up front to me that is just plain selfish B/S and That told me he could care less about those kids who are so discriminated against in west Texas!!! They needed his voice and he refused their cries!!!
Yeah, I get it. Choi is polarizing because of the way he chooses to be active on the issue of gays in the military. However, never forget, he actually volunteered, served in combat, and protected every Americans's right of free speech, including his own – unlike 99% of the American citizenry. And unlike most of the LGBT community, he's ACTIVE in repealing DADT. He sacrificed his career and said, "Take me", so that the next generation of gay troops can serve their country with integrity. As a retired Air Force Master Sergeant and gay man – I can appreciate that, despite his non-traditional method of protest – even if I don't condone his methods.
BTW, I've heard the 'making money off DADT' remark several times. I'm not saying he isn't, but how do you know that? Where's your proof? It wasn't in your post. I know for sure who's making money off DADT… LGB advocacy orgs who fund raise with the issue, give themselves 6-figure salaries, and then compromise on repeal language filling it with loopholes making repeal a lot longer process and more difficult to get done.
Lt Choi is not your enemy. The US government and the Deomcratic majority is where you need to focus your criticism – IMHO.
LezGetReal… how 'bout you stop the gossip and actually GET REAL?
If we're gonna talk about disrespect, let's first talk about the countless gay and lesbian soldiers booted unjustly from the force, and the utter disrespect to thm. Or the disrespect shown to all Amricans and Amricans soldiers when able-bodied soldiers who happen to be gay are taken out, putting everybody mor at risk, just to appease the ignorant segment of society. Or lets talk about the complete disrespect that military leaders show towards America when people who helped keep them safe are denied the very rights everyone else has?
I guess Dan was waiting a MONTH to give Rachel Maddow an exclusive tonight! Unless he realized his discharge was outed by Lez Get Real today and he had to rush to cover up that he waited a month to tell anyone,. What is going on I dont get it is Dan trying to hide something?
I have no idea why Lez Get Real has allowed you to repeatedly attack Dan Choi but I'm sick of it. Right now, I'm so sick of it, I'll probably take a week's vacation from this website. I think you should be banned from writing about Dan Choi because you have a personal grudge and your statements made with all this hatred could lead to a libel lawsuit against this fine website. Your grudge isn't worth destroying all that Lez Get Real has built up.

Voters Have Spoken: Stop Bailouts and Fix the Economy
Obama Democrats should stop rushing healthcare reform and address more important issues.
By Peter Roff, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
Tuesday's exit polls, while far from an exact science, showed that nearly 80 percent of those who turned out to vote in both Virginia and New Jersey cited the economy as a major concern. New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine's mishandling of his state's economy certainly played a significant role in his ouster while Republican Bob McDonnell's "jobs, jobs, jobs" campaign clearly resonated with voters in Virginia.
If there is a message for the national politicians buried somewhere in the elections returns it is that Washington's handling of the economy needs to change, and quickly.
By all accounts, however, the Obama administration continues tacking to port, and at full speed. Not only is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi trying to rush a healthcare bill through Congress, the administration—despite the new 10 percent unemployment numbers—continues to hint that another stimulus package is in the offing, the first one having proven to be so successful.
Voters also remain angry over the federal bailouts of the big banks and Wall Street firms and two of the three major U.S. automobile manufacturers, which one would think would be a rallying point for President Obama's political constituency. Apparently not, because the administration, like the Energizer bunny, just keeps "going and going and going."
As Bloomberg reported Wednesday, GMAC—which the White House regards as "as crucial to the survival of the U.S. auto industry"—is getting set to receive yet another round of government aid after it "reported a third-quarter loss tied to mortgage defaults."
General Motors, the former parent company of GMAC, and Chrysler both rely on the lender to finance the purchase of automobiles they sell. But GMAC is also in the home loan business and, after receiving a reported $13.5 billion in not one but two rounds of government bailouts, is back at the table negotiating for a third.
All this suggests several problems with the policies emanating from Washington. One, that the direct bailout of the auto industry and the "cash-for-clunkers" program really did not work as the White House has advertised, making indirect bailouts through industry-affiliated financial intuitions like GMAC necessary. Second, that despite the promises that were made, the programs that were created and the controls that were supposedly instituted on mortgage lending to shore up the market following the collapse of the subprime market, things may be continuing on there pretty much as usual.
Whether the administration is living up to its promises is something Congress should take a long and hard look at before corporate bailouts become a matter of policy as usual.

Help St. Joseph County Indiana Democrats With Act Blue

Hello to everyone from sunny St. Joseph County Indiana! This is my first post in a while and, wouldn't you know, I come asking for money.
However, the money is not for me, it is for our county Democratic headquarters. I have only been heavily involved in politics for about five years now but I have traveled most of Indiana and I can honestly say that we are one of the few fortunate counties to have a full time, established, downtown Democratic headquarters. Many communities in Indiana are not so fortunate. They run their campaigns out of short term rented space.
I can tell you that as a volunteer over the past few years I have seen quite an improvement in our building. I remember attending a Howard Dean meetup there back in late 2003 when first time Congressional candidate Joe Donnelly came to speak to the group. The roof had actually buckled from accumulated snow a few weeks previously and was propped up by large timbers in the middle of the meeting room. Toward the end of Donnelly's remarks he mentioned how the Party and headquarters could use our time, energy and donations when a heating/cooling duct fell through the ceiling. Fortunately no one was hurt but it definitely showed everyone that our headquarters needed work.
Fast forward to 2008. Everyone who comes in, even old political veterans, note how much better the place looks and feels. We have fixed the heating and cooling system, upgraded the phone and electrical outlets in the floor, upgraded the mens and women's restrooms, installed high speed internet and fixed the roof. Our chairman deserves quite a bit of credit, for he paid for a lot of these improvements out of his own pocket, but we got help from some good Democrats as well.
We still have work to do. We would like to replace the threadbare carpet in the front and back meeting rooms, we could use another desktop computer or two, we need a new paper cutter, and we really need a good heavy duty paper shredder. These are all "wish list" items, but there is much more to keeping a headquarters up and running than big ticket items.
We have to keep ourselves stocked with paper products (TP, paper towels, copy paper, etc...), pens, tape, pop, bottled water, snack food, food for meetings and events, and the various office supplies that are needed from day to day. Our fax machine takes four different colors of ink just to print black and white (a gyp, I know, but it is all we have). Not only do we have these costs but we still have to make a mortgage payment, utility payments, phone and internet payments and taxes.
Now that I have talked everyone who may have been considering investing in a headquarters out of the idea, here is my pitch: we have reached out to our Democratic family here in the county and now I am reaching out to fellow Democrats via the internet. I have set up an Act Blue page for our county headquarters. If you are so moved, you may contribute to our cause with a one time gift or a recurring donation. We are not looking for gold plated toilets or Dom Perignon. Every donation we get for the everyday essentials helps us help other Democrats in our community. While it may not always seem so, those local candidates for Recorder, Commissioner or County Council are our direct link to the man and woman in the community. Help us help these "down ticket" candidates be the best they can be and help us be the best people's headquarters we can be.
