So some of you have probably played the recently Free-to-Play DC Universe Online, but for some, you may not be as much a fan of DC as Marvel. For you, there's Gazillion Entertainment and Secret Identity Studios' Marvel Heroes MMO, which has recently been announced to use the Unreal Engine 3, the engine powering Mass Effect, Gears of War, Batman Arkham City, and many others.
The developers say that Unreal Engine 3 allows them to deliver a high quality game experience. "We [...] love the flexibility we get from the actor components, which have empowered us to make all kinds of customization without sacrificing the built-in features of the engine," says Jeff Lind, head of Gazillion's Secret Identity Studios. So far, no release date has been announced, but more will be announced soon, possibly by the time the E3 Video Game Convention rolls around.

5-time champ Johnson has new take on restarts |
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson is reshaping his views about restarts.
After two noticeable mistakes during recent restarts late in Sprint Cup races, Johnson says he plans to "lighten up and loosen up'' when it comes to restarts.
Johnson says he feels "like I'm maybe a little focused on the way the rule reads exactly and paying maybe too close of attention to that.''
Johnson was penalized at Dover early last month for jumping a restart. Since then, he's been critical of the pace of restarts and the interpretation of rules regarding them. He had a costly error at Kentucky last week, spinning shortly after a sluggish restart.
Now, though, he's focused less on the rules and more on how they are being enforced.

Many bloggers aren't really using G+ yet, but tons of photographers are and most of them just have a personal G+ page and post their blog or business stuff on that too. Some do have a G+ page, but not many right now. I just have one and only send out blog posts to my blogging circles.

Shared publicly -ok google+bloggers....are you asking followers to like "you" or did you start a separate page for your blog? i'm so confused!

I originally just had my own, but then I did make a page for my blog! https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/108628162657247563792/ I hear eventually GFC will be going away.
+Wendy Walker Cushing do you have a page for your blog? I will add you!!
Not yet. I'm still deciding. When I started G+ in the beginning it was only for people and they were blocking anything else. I'm still deciding. I just started posting my blog only to people in my blog circles. Most of my followers are photographers and I post all of my photographs public anyway. Thanks Cheryl! It's nice to meet new people like you and +Rach H

Whey Protein Isolates | Primary Source
The Bigger Picture of WheyWhey Protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That's why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as our primary protein source, we're able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving, and a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff that you can do without. There's no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Vanilla Ice Cream, 2 lb:
Use this product after workouts and in my smoothies for some extra protein. Not the best tasting whey, but it is low in carbs and sugar so I prefer this one over others.

Spoon Stirred: 100% Whey Gold Standard is instantized. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add 1 rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard to a glass filled with 6-8 oz. of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.
Shaker: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard to your shaker cup and then pour in 6-8 oz. of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Tip: Mixing one scoop with 6-8 fl. oz. of nonfat milk instead of water will give you a thicker, creamier shake.
Blender: Add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard to a blender filled with 6-8 fl. oz. of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 23-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Shake up your shake: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a delicious meal: try adding try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, unflavored yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds, or other ingredients. Stack Your Shake: By adding other supplements, including creatine, glutamine, taurine (e.g. CGT10), and/or BCAA powders you can make 100% Whey Gold Standard an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.
Suggested use: Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day through a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements. For best results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.

Choke Point
When an award-winning foreign journalist reveals the existence of an Amsterdam-based sweatshop known as a "knot shop" that employs and enslaves young girls as laborers, private security firm Rutherford Risk is hired by a philanthropist to find it and shut it down. David "Sarge" Dulwich, Knox's former boss from their government contractor days, knows that Knox's cultural knowledge, combat skills, and sympathy for the abused make him right for the job. Joined by Grace Chu, whose more subtle skills for acquiring sensitive tech information help to balance Knox's improvisational style, he heads to Amsterdam in an attempt to dismantle the child labor operation and rescue the girls. In their way is a crime organization that has permeated the neighborhoods with goodwill turning even the victims' parents against their would-be saviors. With enemies around every corner, Knox and Grace can't tell the good from the bad.
Author Information
Editorial Reviews
— Library Journal
[Chu and Knox] make a good team, with his brawn and her brains, as they fight and kill their way to the top of the child-abuse cabal. Plenty of action and some steamy sex help make the pages fly by.
It's obvious why Pearson has earned praise as thriller grand master; the pacing is flawlessly anxiety ridden, and the investigative elements are richly layered.
"A cunning thriller worthy of the promised series… Exotic locale. Credible heroics. Vicarious thrills. Fans will want more, and soon."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Pearson, who lived with his family in Shanghai for a year, has created an intense and realistic thriller. The atmosphere and culture of China draw readers into a new world.... With "The Risk Agent," he has a great start to what appears to be a new series."
Forensic accountant Grace Chu is a cool, whip-smart beauty trained in the Chinese military. John Knox is a combat veteran with focus and ferocity in equal measure....Pearson renders steady suspense and a vibrant portrait of a city that blends history, mystery, and a remarkably resilient citizenry.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An antibody found in the blood of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be present long before the onset of the disease and its symptoms, according to a study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 66th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, April 26 to May 3, 2014.
"If our results can be replicated in larger populations, our findings may help to detect MS earlier in a subgroup of patients," said study author Viola Biberacher, MD, with Technical University in Munich, Germany. "Finding the disease before symptoms appear means we can better prepare to treat and possibly even prevent those symptoms. This finding also demonstrates that the antibody development to the KIR4.1 protein, a protein found in some people with MS, precedes the clinical onset of disease suggesting a role of the autoantibody in how the disease develops."
For the study, 16 healthy blood donors who were later diagnosed with MS were compared to 16 healthy blood donors of the same age and sex who did not develop MS. Scientists looked for a specific antibody to KIR4.1. Samples were collected between two and nine months before the first symptoms of MS appeared.
Next, researchers looked at antibody levels in the blood at additional time points up to six years before and then after disease onset in those who had the KIR4.1 antibody in their blood.
All of the healthy controls tested negative for the KIR4.1 antibody. Of those who later developed MS, seven people tested positive for the antibodies, two showed borderline activity and seven were negative.
In the study, KIR4.1 antibodies were found in the people with pre-clinical MS several years before the first clinical attack. Concentrations of the antibody varied at different time points during pre-MS in individual people.
"The next step is to confirm these findings in larger groups and determine how many years before onset of disease the antibody response develops," said Biberacher.
The study was supported by the German Ministry for Education and Research and the German Competence Network for Multiple Sclerosis.

Moon serial sb2014
It's a sea, isn't it?
Lost in details,
Sometimes I feel blessed.
Today I went by the sea, I took some photographs and enjoyed the warm weather.
As I was walking, searching for the perfect pic, I found the little bridge that in the summer used to lead me to a nice swim. Going down slowly on the wooden bridge I had to stop taking photographs, my camera was low…I just looked at the sea and felt I was a part of something so beautiful that overwhelmed me and made me feel, for the first time since I don't even know when, calm, completed, in a certain way blessed to be there.
A few hours after, back home, I read this horoscope on the internet (written by Brezny a kind of astrologist) about this time for Taurus:
" the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings.
The German word selig can mean "ecstatic," "blessed," or "holy." It implies that profound bliss can be a divine gift; that deep pleasure may generate or come from spiritual inspiration.
The English language doesn't have a term comparable to selig, maybe because our culture regards ecstasy with suspicion. Religious people tend to believe that the blessed are those who are good and kind, certainly not those who are skilled at cultivating rapturous states. People who worship rationality, on the other hand, like intellectuals and scientists, often think of ecstasy as at best an irrelevant state, and at worst a nonproductive or deluded indulgence.
What would you have to do to place yourself in intimate alignment with the values embodied by the word selig?"
I should answer taking photographs, what would you?

September 23, 2013 - I think it is even cuter in person than in the pictures. They are so cool
June 10, 2013 - Super Cute! But, it's NOT a chime. An original mobile decoration is more accurate.
April 30, 2013 - I love all chimes & have a vast collection throughout my house. This one is above my sink & I see/hear it often. Very nice.
February 8, 2013 - This Paw Chime is so cute and sure would like to see more styles that have maybe some bells to really hear the chimes. A+++++ love it!

Picked up two growlers yesterday.
Beer pours a nice glowing orange with a rocky beige head. Smells like a west coast style DIPA. Obviously hoppy up front (Amarillo?) with a slight spicy note. Hops hit your tongue first followed by a pale malt slight sweetness. Nice bitter aftertaste (in a good way). Mouthfeel is rich without being too sticky. For a double IPA, there isn't a ton of booze in the aroma or taste so this one sneaks up on you. I hope this stay's on the NEBCO rotation. Cool artwork on the cans too!

Right off the bat this beer looks great with a nice hazy orange color with a murkiness that ive never seen in a ipa before. Aroma consist of sweet tropical fruits and bready malt. The taste is amazing. Pineapple, mango, slight grapefruit are the main flavors coming through. For a double ipa this is incredibly smooth with just the right amount of bitterness that even a non-hophead could get behind. A bready malt on the back end provides some balance and doesn't let the bitterness linger at all. Ready for sip a few seconds after the first. For me this is the best beer ive tried or at least top two or three. If your in the CT area this is a must try along with the other awesome nebco beers.

4.19/5 rDev -3.7%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: Pours unfiltered straw yellow with a 1/2 finger of white head. This is so cloudy it almost looks like grapefruit juice.
Smell: Grapefruit, pine, subtle mango and malt.
Taste: Much like the nose. Piney hops up-front, grapefruit in the middle of the tongue and lingering bitterness and malt on the back end. Very drinkable and hides the abv well.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with lively carbonation that really tickles the tongue. Doesn't get much better.
Overall: Solid DIPA that leans more toward the grapefruit side of the IPA spectrum. Would drink again.

We were able to get 1 case, so that was super.
I had the opportunity to taste it tonight. (Thank yo Spencer). The pour was a bit on the lighter side, I was expected more orange. But it poured cloudy, not like a wheat beer, but like a beer that had been shaken.
The nose and bouquet were perfect. The tar, the grapefruit, resin, citrus all were so present. With the fist sip, I the extreme hops came through loud and clear. But, what I noticed that it didnt have that dry bitterness from a high IBU beer, but instead had a touch of a sweet overtone at the end.
I am glad I had it, but I still know what my number one beer is.

Voces huecas. 5Voces huecas. 5 by CandyVonBitter
Lo habían contratado al muchacho una semana atrás para reemplazar a Alejandro (al final este prefirió dedicarse de lleno al estudio), pero era la primera vez que lo tenía tan cerca.
Desde entonces habían compartido un sólo turno a la mañana otras palabras que el saludo obligatorio del primer encuentro, cuando se lo presentaron. Era de un nombre corto que no recordaba haber oído antes junto a un apellido que le sonaba extraño, más propio de la invención que de la realidad.
-¿Te llamás Emma, no?
Era más bajo y delgado que él, aunque por poco. Miraba hacia arriba con unos grandes ojos azules impuros. El gel que utilizaba en el mojicano azul en su cabeza, peinándolo hacia atrás, desprendía brillos cada vez que movía la cabeza. A los lados el cabello negro se mantenía corto y lo bastante abundante para cubrir el color del cuero cabelludo. A pesar
The Mora - Intro*****Hit the description first.*****The Mora - Intro by QuiEstInLiteris
"Does it really matter if he killed his wife?"
"Don't look at me like that. You know what I meant. Isn't the rest of it enough? It should be enough."
"No, you're right. I wouldn't send her off with an abuser any more than with a murderer, and there can't be any doubt that his reputation is well-founded."
"Even if it can't be proven…"
"It's proven well enough. I saw the marks on the footman."
"Then we are agreed. It must be broken off at once. No financial security is worth that kind of risk."
"No. I'll send a letter. I don't know that I have the courage to confront him in person. Unless your father would be willing to accompany me…"
"Father would kill him if he threatened you. I don't want this to become an open conflict, Jan. I just don't w
Fuzz's Fortune- Chapter 1My face is damp with sweat as I take a shaky breath in, and then let it out. I can practically hear my heart pounding like that of a racehorse in my chest as I attempt to calm it down, but to no avail. Right now, "calm" seems like an impossible concept. I'm surprised I haven't passed out by now.Fuzz's Fortune- Chapter 1 by SPIKE295
The barrel of the gun presses harder into my temple, and I flinch. "Where did they hide it?" the man growls as he hovers inches from my face. Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't be all that intimidating with his thin stature and limp black hair, but I suppose anybody could make you cringe if he's moments away from ending your life. I swallow before answering.
"I- I told you, I don't know," I answer in a small, meek voice. The man just gets more furious, if that was even possible.
"Do you think I won't kill you right now?" he shouts, his face turning an unhealthy shade of purple. "Tell me what
The Tale of the Young Scholar and His LovesTitle: The Tale of the Young Scholar and His LovesThe Tale of the Young Scholar and His Loves by kiramaru7
Author: kira
Word Count: 2000
World: Santiago
Main Characters: Antonio, Maria (his sister), Conchita (her best friend), Paloma (his mother), Rico (his father)
Borrow: yes
Summary: Antonio longs to go to school, but he's needed at home. Determined to keep up with his studies, he nonetheless finds Conchita a welcome dstraction…
Antonio sighed softly as he desperately wanted to continue his schooling, but at fifteen he was needed at home to work the fields, especially now that it was harvest time. His younger brothers, Vidal and Tercero were lucky; they could still attend school along with his three sisters, although it would be María's last year to attend school this year as she would be getting married when she turned fifteen. His only hope of continuing his education would be to give his life over to the church, but as the eldest, he would inherit his family's small farm. It was hard sitting at the dinne
Asking questions never hurts! 1. Can we submit art of our oc's if someone else has drawn it? Most certainly! We do accept this, but bear in mind that the person who has drawn it must agree to have it put into the group as well. 2. Can I submit art of other people's characters as long as they are original? Yes, absolutely! Just be sure if they ask you to remove it you do. 3. My characters aren't humans! Can we still submit them? Of course! We've made folders to accommodate anthro and creatures. If you're curious about which folder, or feel we need an addition, feel free to note us and let us know! 4. My picture/story has violence/gore/sexual themes in it, can I still submit it here? As long as the picture has the proper warning on it, that's not an issue. 5. Do you qualify a fandom as a story we ourselves have created? This one is a bit hard to judge as it varies from person to person; but generally speaking, it's all fine to submit here, as long as you, the creator, are aware. 6. Do you accept stories? Yes, haha, we have a whole folder for them, go wild! 7. Why only finished/completed works allowed? Because if it's a WIP, that likely means when you finish, you're going to submit it again. We'd rather only have the finished product. 8. Why did my _____ character get into this section?! Because you accidentally submitted it there. We don't choose where things go, you guys do when you submit them, sillies. 9. I accidentally submitted to the wrong folder! What do I do? Simple. comment on the submission telling us your mistake and we'll fix it. Or withdraw the submission, and resubmit to the correct folder. 10. Can we advertise on the main page? It kind of all depends what it's for. Perhaps journals meant for advertising will come in the future, so all you lovelies can get your stuff out there. 11. Why is it taking longer than others to get my work approved into the group? That simply means there's a possible issue and we're trying to work it out without bothering you, the creator. If it can't be resolved ourselves, we will then talk to you and get everything worked out! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Welcome to the Group! This group is for OC's with their own stories! That is, they are not related to any fandom. This group is to feature your original characters, as well as your stories, or comics, or even original creatures/species!! We hope you'll enjoy your time in the group! Any questions feel free to ask and either the co-founder or myself will be happy to answer them. Rules Only 3 entries per day Please be patient for your submission to be approved. Please put artwork in the correct folder. Do not submit anything to the feature folder No flaming/trolling! If we get any reports of this, you're kicked out. All forms of art are accepted (Visual art, literature, comics, etc) Any maturity level is fine with the proper filter Have fun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Black, LGBT, American: Doug Spearman
BY Doug Spearman
July 15 2013 4:00 AM ET
When Jason Collins came out to the world and to the NBA, he said that he was black and that he was gay. Most people glossed over the first part of the statement and concentrated on the fact that he had just become the first openly gay participant in a major American sports franchise.
However, there's the fact that he felt the need to include the obvious fact that he's black. Why? Because black people speak in code. It's a cultural phenomenon that goes back to the days when we couldn't openly express an opinion of our own. It's like "the nod." If you''re black, you understand what "the nod" is.
He wasn't just talking to sportswriters, fans, players, and gay men. He was letting the black community know that he was standing up for himself as a man and that his family stood behind him, that they had not thrown him under a moral bus because of their own religious beliefs or fears.
What Collins did, I believe, in front of the sports world and beyond that to Black America, was to literally put himself between black kids and the ignorance and accompanying emotional and physical violence that comes at many of them from within their own families, from their peers, and from their churches. By coming out he threw a monkey wrench into a belief system. I'd bet that somewhere, someone is looking at their child differently. By coming out, he may have created a pause in an act of violence long enough for understanding to creep in.
It's hard to be black and a gay man. You can be black and a punk, sissy, or a faggot. Gay is code for white to a lot of black Americans. Black men who sleep with other men are looked at as being less than men. Being gay means you've abdicated your responsibility as a man in our community. We don't have a lot of role models and heroes — but the ones we do have are expected to be straight. That thought process gets hung up when you see a 7-foot, All-American center from Stanford who got picked up in the first round. That's not someone you can call "faggot" all that easily, is it? That's not someone you can tear down or humiliate. And if you can't pull him down, you might not be able to tear down your own child, your brother or sister, or that guy who lives down the block or sings in the church choir.
Collins stood up as a man and let his community — our community — know that you can be both a black man and gay; that the barber shop beliefs and the Sunday morning rhetoric about what a man is and what he is not don't work anymore. His coming out signifies that you can be a baller and be gay. That you can be a sports hero and be gay. That you can be someone to cheer for or follow up and down a court, someone color commentators and coaches can point out and marvel at, and be gay.
Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 two years ago when he called a referee "faggot." And Bryant was one of the first pro athletes to publicly support Collins.
It does get better. Collins just made it better for a lot of kids in housing developments, projects, gated subdivisions, and schoolyards. He made it better for all of us. It's hard to be first. But thank God, someone was.

Scotland worry over Gray as he is 'isolated' with stomach bug
It was not quite a "Who shot Bambi?" moment, although Jeremy Guscott might have seen it that way.
Richie Gray, the 6ft 8in stand-out performer on the opening weekend of the Six Nations, was placed "in isolation" by Scotland yesterday and rated as a big doubt for the engagement with Wales at Murrayfield today.
Described by Guscott as "Bambi on ice" and "too slow and cumbersome" ahead of Scotland's visit to Paris last Saturday, Gray proceeded to look more like Red Rum at Aintree as he galloped around the Stade de France like a second-row thoroughbred. Still, the skids have been put under the towering Glasgow lock.
"Richie has got a stomach bug," Andy Robinson, Scotland's head coach and a team-mate of the princely Guscott in his playing days at Bath, reported after lunchtime training yesterday. "He's been isolated from the camp and we'll make a decision tomorrow morning about whether he plays."
Edinburgh's Scott MacLeod has been drafted into the squad and the chances are that he will be on bench duty today, with Richie Vernon moving up to a starting berth at No 8 and Kelly Brown switching to openside flanker and Nathan Hines into the second row. "These things happen," Robinson said. "You just have take them in your stride"
Perspective is one thing that is unlikely to be lacking as Robinson's Scots, buoyed by an impressive performance in defeat (34-21) against the French, lock horns with a Welsh side beaten 26-19 by England in Cardiff and short on confidence after a run of eight games without a win. It was in the reverse fixture in last year's Six Nations that Thom Evans, Scotland's right wing, suffered the serious spinal injury that ended his highly promising playing career.
At 25, the second cousin of radio presenter Chris Evans is attempting to rebuild his life with another change of career. A member of the successful boy band Twen2y4se7en before making the international grade in rugby union, Evans is on an acting course in Los Angeles with hopes of breaking into movies. He has also been busy dating Kelly Brook (below), the actress, model, and sometime partner of his former Wasps colleague Danny Cipriani.
Thom was offered a date at Murrayfield today, to watch his brother Max win his 17th Scotland cap, but the prospect was too much for him to bear. "He watched the France game on television and it was hugely emotional for him," Max said. "He has seen me playing rugby since the injury but that was the start of the Six Nations, where it all happened last year. I'm sure it would have been even more emotional this week.
"He's very comfortable in Los Angeles. He's thoroughly enjoying the acting. It's still early days but I've no doubt that he will make it in whatever he pursues. It's like when he met up with Kelly Brook. He happened to be in the right place at the right time and he was able to work his magic."
With Max Evans on the left wing, Scotland will be looking to work the kind of try-scoring magic they performed in Paris (where they crossed the home whitewash three times) but while losing the turnover habit that cost them four tries and regaining some clout at the scrum. "We made 200 passes last week," Robinson said. "I was delighted with that. It shows that we're improving our skill levels.
"I'm really looking forward to this Test against Wales. You've got two sides who want to play and who play with width. The key for both teams is how they get go-forward ball. Wales have got some big ball-carriers – Jamie Roberts, Ryan Jones, Bradley Davies, Matthew Rees – and we've got to make sure they don't get that go-forward."
Wales have Ryan Jones at No 8, the former captain replacing the injured Andy Powell for a return to the arena in which he bagged his solitary international try six years ago. "I've been in and around the environment for a long time now, and been through some highs and lows," the 47-cap veteran said.
"There are certain players in this environment that others will look to when things aren't going so well. If those guys are walking round with their heads down, it does have an effect on everyone else. We're the slight underdogs and we've got to thrive on that. We've got to make sure we are bold, brave, and more clinical."

Release Year: 2013
Cast: Julian, Samantha
Genres: All Sex
It is Sams first time in Prague, when she set her eyes on Julian we knew together her experience of Prague would be a moment to remember!
Being left in the room alone together they couldn't wait, touching each other and sharing passionate kisses. The look of pure lust in each others eyes. Just in time the camera started rolling capturing the moment they start to caress each others bodies, slowly undressing each other whilst exchanging desperate kisses. Sam can feel Julians excitement through his trousers and is keen to show him why he has every reason to be excited. She goes down on him teasing his hard cock with her tongue and taking as much of it into her mouth as she can. Julians eyes turn to pure lust as he watches her before turning her over showing his appreciation, he sucks and licks at Sams wet pussy making her squirm and orgasm.
Feeling the effect he's had on her he slides inside her with ease, pushing deep inside her hitting that sweet spot until they can both take it no longer.

DALLAS -- Pavel Datsyuk recorded his first playoff hat trick and the Detroit Red Wings moved within one victory of the Stanley Cup finals by beating the Stars 5-2 in Dallas.
Datsyuk scored twice in the opening period before adding an
insurance goal with 2:41 remaining, securing a three-games-to-none
lead for the Red Wings in the Western Conference finals.
The Red Wings have won nine straight games since a Game-4 loss
in the conference quarterfinals. It's the longest postseason
winning streak since the Montreal Canadiens took 11 straight in
Jiri Hudler snapped a 2-2 tie with a breakaway tally midway through the second period. Henrik Zetterberg added a short-handed goal and two assists for the Wings, who are trying to reach the finals for the fifth time since 1995.
Chris Osgood turned back 16 shots and was perfect after Brad
Richards tied the game four minutes into the second period.
Nicklas Grossman also scored for the Stars, who host Game 4

Retirement planning takes backseat
- Patty Tascarella

- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Retirement planning isn't a favorite priority of most Americans according to a national study PNC Financial Services Group Inc. released Wednesday. Some 84 percent of respondents said they expect to visit their dentist for a regular cleaning but just 43 percent plan to meet their financial adviser to review investment strategies.
And while 70 percent vow to get more regular exercise this year, only 46 percent intend to increase saving and investing.
The survey, titled Perspectives of Retirement, was commissioned by PNC (NYSE:PNC) and conducted online by Artemis Strategy Group in January 2013 among a cross-section of 1,020 adults age 35 to 70 with over $100,000 in investable assets and at least $25,000 in liquid investable assets. One quarter of the sample had at least $1 million in total investable assets.

"The seams will flatten out over time. But I doubt she's glad she did this right now."
Carol Stoudt
"Some of the towns have been flattened, so there's nothing there,"
Shaukat Aziz
"The market reacted exactly the way they wanted it to, which was to flatten the yield curve. I think the point is clear: Policy makers are going to do whatever they can to help the Fed. The rate cuts that the Fed is putting through are only hitting the short curve; they're only psychological."
Lara Rhame
"To visualize it here in South Carolina, it would be like Garden City or Surfside flattened."
Freddie DeBose
"[They made it to Biloxi, Miss.] It was absolutely wiped out. If you flattened two rows of Palm Beach mansions, that's what it would look like, ... I had the four-wheel-drive on because the ocean highway washed away."
Scott Lewis
"For those not very loaned up, a flattening yield curve could start crunching their margins."
Alan Rowe
"My sense is that Massachusetts and New England will experience some sustained cooling in real estate markets and some flattening of prices. But this trend is not likely to affect the region overly negatively."

Five golden rules communicating in a crisis
Some of the UK's biggest businesses have faced crises this year. Allan Biggar shares his five golden rules on what to do when disaster strikes
Monday 26 September 2011
As a communications specialist, I have had a career of stepping in to help clients in crisis. That experience spans a spectrum of sectors and issues and includes working with corporates which include Equitable Life, Dow, Altria and Unilever. So here are my five golden rules on how to get a grip of a crisis and how you communicate.
Acknowledge the problem and take ownership
In the first few hours after a crisis, a huge amount of misinformation can appear. A friend of mine in one of the world's leading mining companies tells me that in the event of an incident at one of their operations, the company has a policy of issuing a statement within the first two hours. That was the view internally of how quickly news could carry – especially in high risk industries such as extractives. So the rule here is to communicate early and often. Equally, it is important that you are sure of your facts before you do begin communicating. For example, it's better to acknowledge that you don't have all the facts than to try and adopt a message which is unfounded.
Be sincere and demonstrate understanding
If your industry is affected by a crisis – whether or not it's your company's fault – you need to acknowledge the impact at a human level and express empathy quickly. I have seen many big corporates resistant to communicating at an early stage of an incident or crisis in fear that it implies culpability or liability on their part. If you don't express sympathy, it opens you and your business to accusations of being uncaring or unconcerned, and silence is often read as guilt. But your first and overriding message must be to share your thoughts with those impacted by the incident (internal or external stakeholders) and you will lend every effort to the authorities in addressing the problem. If the fault clearly lies at your hands, acknowledge and accept that as soon as is possible.
Be transparent and accessible
Honesty pays, even if you don't have all the best-in-class systems in place. Being transparent demonstrates confidence in you, your leadership team, your product and your manufacturing and distribution methods. Following a crisis, the spotlight will fall on the way you operate and it is better that your business is allowed to be scrutinised than for the media or other interest groups to tell the story for you. You can control how that probing might be conducted, but make yourself open and accessible. It is critical to the process of rebuilding your reputation.
Leadership in communications
You need to appoint someone to serve as the public face of the company in the crisis, who is equipped to deal with the challenges that might involve. If you don't provide a public face early on, the media and other stakeholders will decide on one for you – and who may not be the best placed person to help you. Ideally the public face will either be your most senior manager or someone from the leadership team. They will need to accept the role of taking the flak and be prepared to face the ire of stakeholders – which may not be a comfortable role.
Prepare, prepare, prepare
It is no good having a public face of the company, if that individual is untrained for the role. Equally your communications team need to be prepared. If there is one thing that can be guaranteed, your business will face an issue or crisis at some point – and the only way to know how to deal with it, is to prepare and train in advance. That way, you'll see where your team can deal with an issue, and where they can't; where communications worked, and where it didn't; who performed well and who didn't (and there'll be some people on your team who simply don't have the strengths to deal with crisis situations). Those are all lessons you want to learn before a crisis and not during one.
