I'm a Biology major/Music minor and thus far I've enjoyed my time here as a student, but will be graduating in the spring; Yay me!! I enjoy singing in the choir here at St. John's and I leisurely read from time to time. I'm a huge movie fanatic, so I'm always down to go to the theatre whether it be to watch a film or see a play. Aside from being a senior, I'm now going into my third semester working here at the writing center. For each session that I have, I usually start off with sort of an ice breaker to get to know my client a little better. From there, we get into the assignment and what's required. I believe in listening to the clients first before any input is given on my end. The net goal for me is to let my clients come up with their own ideas, and for me to help put those ideas onto paper. With that being said, I'm looking forward to a very fun and fantastic final year here at St. John's and the IWS!

Texas Pit Bbq324 S Saginaw Blvd, Saginaw, TX | Directions 76179
32.856803 -97.361762Texas Pit has become a weekly thing for me and my wife. Everything on the menu is superb but we cannot get enough of their pulled pork tacos. The atmosphere is perfect, good food, frosty beers, sports on every TV and the patio is great for those cool nights. I rate Texas Pit as a must try!!
Great BBQ and ICE COLD BEER. When I got a beer there the other day mu first reaction was OMG!!! It was so cheap and so cold. It was absolutely wonderful. The BBQ is actually really good as well. I was very happy. I will definitely be back!
Great place for a cold cold beer & the best bar b-que. Has a great atmosphere, nice friendly folks, and 6 tv's around this small joint. Beer is cheap from 3-6 pm. $2.00 for goblets ( draw beer ) and $2.75 for imported goblets. Ice just floats on top of the beer. I guess I need to go this evening after work!

This ice cream has a really refreshing flavor. I will find a different recipe for next time however because the sugar and/or the gelatin did not dissolve and so the ice cream has a granular rather than a creamy taste. Prepared per the receipe and ice cream maker directions. Not sure what happened!

I got this in a kit from Nordstrom (with an MSF and blush, I think) some time ago so I can't remember exactly, so the price was great. I use it for many things: buffing out too-strong contours, MSFs, blush, even mineral powder, and I love it. It's so dense that colors are diffused and look very natural. I would definitely search this out again if I ever lose it. I've had it for years and it has stood up well to multiple washings.

I love this small buffer brush! It retailed for SGD$64 when it was being sold locally. This is my favourite makeup brush from MAC. I was looking for a kabuki brush but something smaller than MAC 182 as I realized that I have small loose powder containers which this MAC 181 fits perfectly! Due to the small size, it gives the user better control of the brush and it is able to reach any small areas and corners of the face. I had washed this and it does not shed at all, and I put it in a kabuki brush guard to reshape it, and it looks like new :) However it dries quite slowly due to the density of the bristles, and it needs about 1 day to completely dry. I recommend washing it regularly as after prolonged usage its hard to get the brush completely clean. I don't know why but even using MAC Brush Cleanser doesn't get the bristles completely clean. Maybe I should try Michelle Phan's method of using Antibacterial Soap and Olive Oil? MAC 181 is often compared to MAC 182 and the latter is said to be softer and most people prefer that, but I guess that I am in the minority. This brush was released 3 years ago in the MAC Sonic Chic Collection in 2008. I will be very happy if its part of the permanent collection as I bring this brush out for touch ups everyday and I will not be able to repurchase even if I lose it. I will recommend this to everybody who likes small kabuki brushes and I will definately repurchase this (but sadly I can't)!

This brush is such a cutie! It's super soft and blends blushes and bronzers very well! I got this in the MAC Magic, Mirth & Mischief Collection: Mineralize Pinkzapoppin'! Face Kit! I use this to apply, shade and blend blushes and bronzers. I love the dome shaped hairs, it helps so much! The regular brush is $45, I think. But if anything ever happened to mine, I would repurchase!

Just got one for a very good deal at the CCO. It's the perfect size for mineral foundation, bronzer or contour. I found mine to be very well made in that it hasn't shed one fiber. Excellent buffing qualities also. Not sure what it's made of but it does really do a great job of buffing so that there's a nice glow that emanates from the mineral formula. This is a lot better quality than the 181SEs from the mineralize kits.

Great for travel, super cute and sturdy, but the hairs are not that soft. A few washes with conditioner should help though. Great for on the go touchups.

Funny story: I hate doing laundry. I pretty much do the bare minimum. I don't check pockets, flip things inside out, or every zip and latch things. I just separate whites and colors. So i was washing my clothes, and when i went to get them from the dryer i saw my little 181 sitting on top of everything. I couldn't stop laughing. It's a bit scratchy now but still completely in tact.
So i guess this brush is very durable but not a necessity.

My HG brush for mineral foundation and studio fix powder:) I LOVE IT! This is the best if you use any kind of powder that you need to buff into skin. It's super soft, and the size is just right to get around the eyes and nose. Worth every penny! I got it in a set with a bag and some other stuff so the price wasn't bad at all. I have a back up and want to get another back up to the back up:) Only problem is that I wish I would have kept the plastic container it came in for travel.

This brush is great! I use it to buff in all my foundations. I mix all my foundations with whatever moisturizer I like at the moment along NARS primer. I just put a dab of all 3 on the back of my hand and swirl it together using the 181 and buff into into my face. I get a flawless finish every time. I also use it to buff in NARS powder foundation or Chanel's. If I am not in the mood for liquid. It does shed, but I was told by a MA that it will stop over time with more washing. But it is so dense and really works product into your skin, some kabuki brushes are too soft and don't buff it in, or too harsh and hurt my skin! I've washed it a few times and it has popped right back into shape! I save the plastic tube it came in to store the brush so the packaging sucks.

I use this on a daily basis to apply powder on my face to set either my liquid foundation or just a face powder. I am able to apply light to heavy coverage with this brush depending on how many times I swirl this brush into the powder. It does a great job of buffing the powder into my skin to provide the type of coverage I want. Great brush.

Oh boy do I love this. Unless you own one you know what i'm talking about.
I got this in the Red Garnet (I believe thats the name) bag gift thing, and I was really excited it was in there. I was considering buying the big one (45 bucks plus tax? No thank you, lol)
Anyway, this brush is amazing and has perfected my makeup application. I will continue to use, buy, and repeat for the rest of my life.

I don't personally have the MAC 182, but I think I would like the 181 better anyways, because the size is just perfect for my face! The hairs are so soft, and I haven't had one problem with shedding or anything!
It picks up the right amount of colour, but I would love to see it on a longer handle (if it's possible)

UPDATE: Just discovered that this brush is fantastic for applying and spreading out pearl cream a.k.a. the tackiest substance known to woman! When I want a thicker layer at night I use my EDM flat-topped brush, but when I don't want to look like a ghost, and want to use pearl cream under my makeup during the daytime (esp. during winter) I use this. Yay! I *really* think I'm going to get another one now.
I hesitated several times about getting this because I already have the 109 and 182, but I'm very glad I did: the 181 is the perfect in-between size! I bought this to use as a back-up, but it's now become my favorite brush for light application of pressed powder! My 182 stays safely on my dresser at home, but my 181 is with me all the time for touch ups. Every time I use it it makes me happy, because it's just so goshdarn cute. It's soft and dense, I feel like I'm smooshing my face with velvet. Trying to control myself from purchasing another one (for blush).

Purpose of Subgroups
One of the key objectives of the Weightless SIG is to work up then finalise the Weightless standard.
Development of the standard will be enabled by Sub-Groups. These are currently established for the Applications Layer, MAC Layer, PHYsical Layer, Regulatory, Security and Test & Certification topic areas together with a Specification Review Sub-Group formed during the Second Plenary Conference to ensure 'content' is to a high and consistent standard. Other Sub-Groups may be formed over time as needed.
Each Sub-Group has a chairperson and other formal positions as necessary. The drafting Sub-Groups are expected to provide Change Request documents for the Weightless Specification at the quarterly Plenary Meetings/Developers Conferences, at which proposed changes and additions to the specification are set out.
The input from each of the Sub-Groups is considered at the latter meetings, giving all members an overview of changes proposed and the opportunity to debate any changes of concern, in particular those that have implications beyond the Sub-Group that drafted them.
Sub-Group membership is open to Core and Promoter members only on completion of the Weightless Terminal Licence Agreement.

It may have been one of the biggest football days of the year, but country music was front and center (for a minute anyway) during both the NFC and AFC championship games yesterday!
The Zac Brown Band sang the National Anthem just moments before the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers game. The quartet did a beautiful, acapella rendition of the song.
Gloriana continued the country theme and sang before the AFC Championship game featuring the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens. Gloriana also performed an acapella version.
Did you like seeing country represented in the sports world?

- Report: #996333
Complaint Review: Direct TV
Direct TV 196 Plaza Dr,
West Covina, California United States of America |
Direct TV Smart Circle, Best Buy Fraud, Elder Abuse in Financial transaction West Covina, California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
While visiting the Best Buy Store in West Covina, CA we were approached by a Direct TV salesman Brandon Downs, who asked us about our current cable service. We told him were not interested because we just signed a 2 year contract for bundled TV, phone and internet with Verizon. Brandon advised us that he was working in concert with a Verizon District manager to allow Verizon customers to drop Verizon FIOS TV and add Direct TV a total cost of $110. per month.
He promised us that Verizon would waive the $230 early termination fees. He stated he and Verizon has worked a program on numerous occasions over the past three months. He agave us the name of the Verizon District manager and his phone number (909) 547-7691. Brandon promised us that Titus would discount our current Internet and Phone to $50 per month and thus the total fees including Direct TV would be $110 plus $115.
Many other promises were made regarding HBO and Showtime access during the next two years via Direct Cinema TV but the real fraud is the visual and verbal fraud being perpetrated by Direct TV and BEst Buy who enabled a cable services dealer called Smart Circle International LLC to conduct their fraudulent sales pitches on senior citizens. Smart Circle employees wearing Direct TV logo shirts inside a Best Buy store are being allowed to perpetrate fraud on unsuspecting seniors.
The truth was Titus at Verizon was only a sales rep at the local Glendora store and he had no knowledge of what Brandon Downs was promising. I called the Best Buy and reported the situation to the store manager ( name forgotten). He was shocked at the story and promised to call a Direct TV district manager by the name of Billy to start an investigation. He promised to call me back but he never did call me back. Billy Arevalo at 310-254-0788 called me later that same day. Billy Arevalo stated he was a district manager for Direct TV.
He listened to my story and promised to work with me to" make us whole" He also promised to call me back in a couple of hours but he did not call again. Verizon was contacted and advised us that they would never waive the early termination fee and the total charges for phone and internet would be $85. Adding the Direct TV fee would make the overall cost nearly $150. Best Buy was contacted, and Direct TV was contacted. Veronica Christy of Direct TV 800-254-3810 pin#29288, advised us that we had never been working with Direct TV.
The people who sell Direct TV in Direct TV shirts in Best Buy stores are actually employees of Smart Circle Int. LLC. Direct TV says they have no authority to make us whole. They can only investigate this and ask Smart Circle Int. LLC for our money back. We want the $60 paid for the satellite equipment installed, plus the $20 fee paid to Smart Circle Int for sign up and we want Smart Circle to pay for Verizon to come back to our home and reinstall the Verizon FIOS services. Direct TV has asked us to wait until January 18 th for them to get an answer from Smart Circle.
Smart Circle would not be able to perpetrate theses FRAUDS without having the Direct TV clothing and operating inside Best Buy stores. We were induced and influenced by the fact were were dealing with Direct TV inside a Best Buy store. What could be wrong? These two large corporation would never allow fraud to be perpetrated in their names.. Wrong.. Now they want to separate themselves from Smart Circle but they cannot. They enable the fraud by giving Smart Circle the powerful images of direct TV clothing and Best Buy locatiions.

$79.95 / 10 lbs – ($7.95/lb)
The same high quality, high omega chia seeds that we offer in our 30 oz and 25 LB box varieties. This is the perfect quantity for those who use chia on a daily basis and are looking for a great deal, but don't have a need for large bulk quantities. FREE SHIPPING.
Bulk chia grown 100% free of chemicals and pesticides. Purity controlled and grown in Mexican high country which produces superior omega content.
Chosen Foods offers a variety of quantities for OEM & Wholesale customers. Please contact email@example.com for a price quote on pallets or truckload quantities of chia seeds for your business.
Nutrition Business Journal estimates that total consumer sales of products containing chia (functional food and supplements) will grow as much as another 160 percent, after a 90% increase in 2012. "While many of the finished products we're seeing on the market have latched on to omega-3 claims, chia's high fiber content and satiating effect lend the ingredient to other in-demand health claims.
Chia has more than double the fiber of ground flax and is gluten free. The fiber in two tablespoons of this little seed is equal to five pieces of whole wheat bread. The high fiber content of AztecChia™ may:
The ancients didn't need hydration stations – they used chia. Since it binds ten times its weight in water, AztecChia™ locks in the body's hydration, making it a perfect endurance drink.
Highly trained athletes enhance energy through the sustaining, hydrating power of chia.
It is an ideal fat replacement for baked goods, sauces, dressings, etc. Because it contains zero net carbohydrates and high dietary fiber, AztecChia™ can be eaten with meals to slow the conversion of carbohydrate to blood sugar, keeping you fuller longer and more energized.
Chia has the most protein of all grains including wheat, corn, rice, oat, barley and amaranth. Two tablespoons house as much protein as an egg. It is a complete, vegan protein, containing all essential amino acids.
Protein is crucial for sustaining energy and building lean muscle.
Chia seeds are roughly 20% protein, 25% fat, and 55% carbohydrate – a ratio recommended for daily optimal nutrition.
This warrior's food is an unparalleled fighter itself, warding off free radicals with its potent, natural antioxidants. Your body is exposed to free radicals – damaging molecules that cause stress to your cells – many times a day through our food, our air, and lifestyle. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. AztecChia™ may:
AztecChia™ is a rich source of polyphenol antioxidants, surpassing powerhouses like blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, wine, and tea. Chia seeds last a long time because its high level of antioxidants prevent it from spoiling, evidence of its fighting power in your body.
Boost Brain Power. Enhance Energy. Improve Mood.
Chia Seeds are the highest source of natural, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids - housing 800 mg more than ground flax. Two tablespoons of chia have more omega-3 than two servings of salmon.
Omega-3 fatty acids are vital in optimizing heart health, boosting brain function, enhancing mood, fighting inflammation, and strengthening the immune system.
Unlike fish oil, AztecChia™ does not contain the risk of heavy metals accumulation or overconsumption of EPA & DHA. Epidemiologic studies report that ALA (Alpha Linoleic Acid) has a very valuable, unique role in the body – taking fish oil is not enough by itself. Omega-3 fatty acids from plant sources should be included in a cardioprotective diet, especially for pregnant women and those managing blood sugar. Read more.
We would do well to learn from healthier cultures around the world whose traditional diet has a higher omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.
Aztec warriors blew through the equivalent of high-altitude ultramarathons by munching on only handfuls of chia. Today, this superfood is the vital force that powers the Tarahumara runners, who conquer 50-100 mile distances with bare feet.
Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run, the true story of the Tarahumara, compares the nutritional value of chia to concocting a "smoothie of wild salmon, spinach and human growth hormones."
Q: How do I use AztecChia™?
A: AztecChia™ has a slightly nutty flavor and can be sprinkled on oatmeal, cereal, smoothies, or yogurt for a power breakfast. Ground chia is an excellent flour substitute and can be used to make gluten-free breads, baked goods, and pizza dough. Chia can be made into a gel and used as an egg or oil replacement in baked goods to up the nutrient density while lowering the fat and calories. Dr. Vuksan, of the University of Toronto, has one approach: a salt shaker, a pepper shaker and a chia shaker.
Q: How much AztecChia™ can I have?
A: People would do well to make a habit of adding chia to their daily diet. As Dr. Coates, coauthor of Chia: Rediscovering a Forgotten Crop of the Aztecs, states "Most people can eat a cup a day without a problem." Gradually increasing dietary fiber is important to avoid gastrointestinal distress.

Warren Buffett's son Howard, who is a Decatur, IL farmer, recently announced the Invest an Acre partnership with Feeding America, and Archer Midland Company.
The partner ship between the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Feeding America and the Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) engages U.S. farmers in helping provide food to their neighbors.
Through Invest An Acre, farmers are able to invest the proceeds from one acre or more of their crops in Feeding America to support their local food bank. This is the first effort to mobilize farmers on a national scale to support hunger relief.
While speaking in Decatur Saturday, Howard Buffett also discussed the need for immigration reform, saying the farmers of America are suffering and producing less for the nation due to lack of farm workers as a result of current immigration laws.
"We had over $3 billion worth of food rot in fields last year because it didn't get picked, and the (American Farm Bureau Federation) estimates that if we keep on this track, it'll be over $9 billion," Buffett told the </em>Chicago Tribune</em>.
"Immigration reform doesn't impact me personally, nothing my foundation works on does," Buffett said. "But the truth is I have a long history of ties to Latin America. Some of my best friends are in Latin America. As I look at this issue, it is personal in a way because I care about the people in that part of the world. … Our biggest single focus is agriculture for small, poor farmers."

Dream world.
Source: architizer.com
is (among other things*) a novel by science fiction writer William Gibson published in 2003. Set in August and September 2002, the story follows Cayce Pollard, a 32-year-old marketing consultant who has a psychological sensitivity to corporate symbols. The action takes place in London, Tokyo, and Moscow as Cayce judges the effectiveness of a proposed corporate symbol and is hired to seek the creators of film clips anonymously posted to the internet.
"The novel's central theme involves the examination of the human desire to detect patterns or meaning and the risks of finding patterns in meaningless data. Other themes include methods of interpretation of history, cultural familiarity with brand names, and tensions between art and commercialization. The September 11, 2001 attacks are used as a motif representing the transition to the new century. Critics identify influences in Pattern Recognition from Thomas Pynchon's postmodern detective story The Crying of Lot 49". ~ from Wikipedia
*The title of Gibson's book is derived from the polymath Marshall McLuhan's early thoughts. In Douglas Coupland's new book, Marshall McLuhan: You Know Nothing of My Work!,' he states,
"One must remember that Marshall arrived at these conclusions not by hanging around, say, NASA or I.B.M., but rather by studying arcane 16th-century Reformation pamphleteers, the writings of James Joyce, and Renaissance perspective drawings.
"He was a master of pattern recognition, the man who bangs a drum so large that it's only beaten once every hundred years."

The French fashion show producer Alexandre de Betak is known for infusing the runways of everyone from Christian Dior to Rodarte and Victoria's Secret with the drama and danger of cutting-edge performance art. (T's Alix Browne visited de Betak's Paris apartment in 2005.) In the first of a two-part video, "Fellini of Fashion," our friends at the online video magazine thecrane.tv take a tour inside his smithy of the spectacular. "Some shows we work on for six months," de Betak says. "Some shows I've worked on the set for a year — literally, absolutely. All for 12 minutes, sometimes 10. C'est la mode."

Welcome to
Hey guys just wanna say I joined today and great site. My GSP is 7 and we took him pheasant and quail hunting for the first time a couple of weekends ago. He had never had any experience with hunting before in his life but he performed adequately. (We had another man out there with me, my father, and my friend who had 4 american shorthairs that we used to hunt with. My GSP had no experience or training in honoring the other dogs, so it was pretty funny to watch him charge at pheasants and quail sitting in rows of corn.) He did not seem to have the focus to find the birds himself though and stayed at my heels because he was a little wary of the shotgun shots. I would like some advice on how to train an older GSP to hunt quail more effectively. Feel free to share stories of your older GSPs hunting as I am interested in hearing them. It would also be great to hear stories of how you trained your GSPs to hunt either as pups or older dogs.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the input.
Attached is a link to some pics of him "hunting"
No worries. The most important thing I can say about gun breaking is that you should take things slow and always make things fun for the dog when using the gun. I like to have the dog doing something fun when the gun goes off, like playing fetch or chasing a bird. Let me know if you need any other help, I'll be glad to offer any help I can. There are also a lot of other experienced trainers on here who can offer a lot more help than I can.
Experience, experience, experience. Find a way to get your dog on birds during the off-season. This might include purchasing some quail, or pigeons. If you don't have property to use, or desire to keep birds around the house (hey - who does?!?!), you may join a hunt club, or other club or association (like NAVHDA). I totally agree with the sentiments on getting the dog used to gunfire. I usually start my pups with loud banging of food dishes around dinner time, cap-guns at a distance with treats, etc... I do believe that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks, but I also believe old habits are hard to break - including focus (or lack of) in the field due to non-use. I try to get my dog out into a field 3 - 4 times a week, not including time on birds, to habituate her field manners (staying close, obeying commands, chasing only when allowed...).
One more thing, you may need to adjust your expecations for the 7-year-old. If the dog's prey-drive is good, you will end up with a good dog that will find birds for you. More refined elements, like retrieving, may take longer to train than you have with your dog. My suggestion would be to enjoy what time you have in the field with it.

What are some examples of training sessions you've done?
We had the first continuing legal education seminar this year [on sexual abuse] that was sponsored by the Family Law Section of the Georgia Bar. We had 25 attorneys attend. It will now be an annual event. We hope to get 50 attorneys next year.
My younger son's preschool is on its way to being a partner in prevention, which means at least 90 percent of their staff will be trained.
Before you got involved, did you know anyone victimized by abuse?
I was never exposed to it as a child, thankfully, not knowing anyone personally affected. As a father, I sort of woke up when the Penn State case broke. Someone said to me, "We all know someone who has had cancer, which affects one in nine people. Statistically, the estimates are that one in four girls and one in six boys under the age of 16 are victims of sexual abuse to some degree." That was shocking to me.
Do you believe the Penn State case has raised awareness of the problem?
Any situation like that does raise awareness but only for the short term. It's a blip on people's radar screen. They say it's unfortunate, then move on. Whether it's something with the Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts, it's in the news almost weekly. Long-term, I think educating people is the best way to raise awareness.
The new law passed in Georgia requires that any person or organization that deals with children has a duty to report [sexual abuse]. Most people don't know where to report or how to report it.
How else has your involvement affected your awareness or how you deal with the issue?
With my children, I know how to talk to them about it. It's not an issue that we keep hidden. I talk to my family and my friends. It's not a comfortable social topic, but I don't feel uncomfortable about it.
When you talk about it [to adults], inevitably someone will say, "You know, I was a victim." Or, "I knew someone who was a victim." Or "I knew someone accused of sexual abuse." For some people, it's the first time they've spoken about it. That catches me off-guard.
What was the idea behind Mobilezen?
In 2009, we saw an opportunity for a way to deliver information that at that time was unique and outside the box. It originated out of wanting to get information on real estate property at the curb. It evolved into the idea that, "If I have information about a business, a product or a service and everybody has a phone in their hand, I should be able to make that information available to them now through text messaging or a mobile website."
We've done a number of programs with Emory University, with Fulton County, Ga., with the Florida Panhandle and others.

Let me guess: you want to grow food someday, but right now you don't have a yard. That was my reasoning too — until I discovered Mike Lieberman's blog, the Urban Organic Gardener.
A Brookyn native, Mike started growing organic food on his tiny fire escape a couple years back. He blogged every detail with photos, information and open discussion. His site has since become a resource and an inspiration source for any would-be urban grower. Yep, that includes you, and me too.
Nowadays, you can find Mike on Twitter, where he's become a well-loved expert on gardening and green living. He's been featured on HuffPo and Planet Green, but today Mike is talking to you.

Reimer out, Monster in against Wild
By DAVE HILSON, QMI Agency
It looks like the James Reimer experiment is over — at least for a game anyway. Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson has elected to go back to Swedish keeper Jonas Gustavsson against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night at the Air Canada Centre. Defenceman Mike Komisarek and forward Nazem Kadri will also be back in the lineup for the Leafs after being banished to the press box for one game, Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Tough guy Jay Rosehill, who came in for some added muscle against the physical Senators, is being yanked in favour of Kadri, while Keith Aulie likely will be the odd man out on defence. After letting in a couple of questionable goals against Ottawa, Reimer (7-5-4, 3.01 GAA, .899 SV%) is being pulled in favour of Gustavsson, who had made six consecutive starts before Wilson put Reimer in Tuesday. It was Reimer's first start since a 3-2 New Year's Eve loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Reimer only faced 21 shots against the Senators but allowed three goals as the Leafs blew a two-goal lead despite peppering Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson with 39 shots. Gustsavsson (13-9-0, 2.92 GAA, .906 SV%), meanwhile, had been very steady in his six consecutive starts despite dropping the final two games before being replaced by Reimer. "I think over the last two or three weeks he has performed the best. Period," Wilson said when asked after the Leafs' morning skate on Thursday why he was putting Gustavsson in net against the Wild. "Right now I'm just thinking about this game, getting two points," Gustavsson replied when ask how it felt to be back in net so quickly. "Of course it feels good to play and I'm excited and ready. I feel like I have lots of energy right now." Getting two points is something the Leafs need to desperately do after dropping three consecutive games for their longest losing streak of the year. They have four games remaining before the all-star break and have to take advantage of playing three of those at home. Perhaps playing the Wild, a team that has dropped 14 of its past 16 games, might be just what the doctor ordered. Not only are the Wild in free-fall, they are also missing some key players, with important forwards Mikko Koivu, Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Guillaume Latendresse all injured. Leaving nothing up to chance, though, Wilson has shuffled the deck in an attempt to get some better defence from his team. First-line forwards Joffrey Lupul and Phil Kessel, who were on the ice for Ottawa's winning goal, have been split up, with Lupul moving down to the third line to play with Tim Connolly and Kadri, while speedy forward Matthew Lombardi has been bumped up to take Lupul's spot on the wing. "We've been together as a group all year, we know each other pretty well," Lombardi said of taking top-line duties. "Obviously we haven't played much with each other but you see each other in practice every day and watch each other in games, so we kind of know each other's tendencies. "Just keep it simple off the bat and build off that." Lupul said he wasn't surprised he and Kessel are being split up, at least to start this game. "We haven't been getting the job done since, probably, the last four or five games," Lupul said. "It's not uncommon for things to get changed up. It's not to say we're going to be on different lines forever but that's how it is now and that's all right." The Leafs have also shifted their defensive pairings with captain Dion Phaneuf skating alongside Luke Schenn, rookie Jake Gardiner getting paired with the returning Komisarek, and Carl Gunnarsson and Cody Franson working together. It's a nice birthday present for Komisarek, who turns 30 today, to get back into the lineup. "Just having better communication, making sure I'm not getting mixed up back there is important," Komisarek said of his return.

Police: Man throws woman on subway tracks in Philly (With Video)
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A man has been arrested on charges he grabbed a woman by the feet and threw her onto the tracks at a Philadelphia subway station, police said. The woman managed to get off the tracks on her own and suffered only minor injuries.
View more videos at: http://nbcphiladelphia.com.
Police announced the arrest Thursday, more than two days after the woman was assaulted around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at a subway station in the city's Chinatown neighborhood. The victim had been sitting on a bench when the man asked her what time the train was coming and requested a light for his cigarette, according to investigators. After she obliged and put the lighter back in her coat pocket, police said, the man grabbed her by the neck and began punching her.
In the assault, which was caught on surveillance video, the man can be seen grabbing the victim by her feet, dragging her along the platform and then throwing her on the tracks as she screamed. The suspect walked away with her cellphone, police said, but the woman was able to get back up onto the platform with only bruises and cuts.
Investigators with the city's police department and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority said they didn't release information about the attack until Thursday because they had identified the suspect by his distinctive jacket, which has one red sleeve, one aqua sleeve and a Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resorts logo on it, and didn't want to compromise the investigation by giving a description.
SEPTA police chief Thomas Nestel called the decision not to release the description of the jacket earlier "very, very difficult," but said police thought it was their best chance to catch the suspect and didn't want him to take it off.
"That was our best lead," Nestel said Friday. "That was the most likely item that was going to help us solve this."
Philadelphia police identified the suspect as William Clark, 37, of Philadelphia; he faces charges of aggravated assault, theft and related counts. Continued...
Clark was arraigned overnight and is being held on $2 million bail.
Clark was arrested around 2:30 p.m. Thursday at a plaza near City Hall, authorities said. A SEPTA officer identified him because he was wearing the same jacket, Nestel said, which was visible under another jacket. He resisted but was arrested and the victim's cellphone was recovered, police said.
It doesn't appear the suspect knew the victim and investigators believe he may have mental health issues, Nestel said. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.

A state implementation plan, or SIP, is a state's blueprint for carrying out requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) essentially, but not exclusively, related to attainment and maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The NAAQS are set for six criteria pollutants: sulfur dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, lead, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide, which are codified at 40 CFR Part 50. When EPA establishes a new NAAQS or revises an existing NAAQS, it sets in motion a series of actions to ensure that air quality throughout the country meets those standards. A SIP defines an individual state's role in this process. more…
