[JURIST] Furious at a rising tide of lawlessness in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin Wednesday evening reassigned 1,500 New Orleans police from search-and-rescue missions to halt widespread looting [JURIST report] in the battered and flooded city. Declaring "martial law" in a dramatic invocation of his civic emergency powers, he directed officers to do "whatever it takes" to restore order, saying they could stop looters without regard to their civil rights and Miranda rights. CBS New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV has more. Earlier Wednesday, a Louisiana Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness spokesman said that contrary to earlier local reports and some statements by officials [JURIST report], martial law - technically, emergency government by military authority - was not in effect anywhere in the state [Bloomberg report]. The Louisiana Attorney General's office insisted late Tuesday that martial law is not recognized in Louisiana state law [JURIST report], although state statutes and declarations of emergency give civic officials - the governor, heads of parishes and mayors - broad powers to restore order after disasters.In another law-related development Wednesday, Louisiana Corrections Secretary Richard Stalder dismissed reports circulating late Tuesday that there had been attempted escapes and hostage takings associated with the transfer of some 7,600 prisoners from jails in the New Orleans area. In a briefing, he told jouranalists "We cannot find any credible intelligence that the kinds of things that had been reported have happened." WWL-TV has more.10:30 PM ET - A spokesman for Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco said in a briefing late Wednesday that military police, Louisiana state troopers and police from other states were being deployed to New Orleans, and that pursuant to a request by the Governor federal troops would be assigned to search-and-rescue to free Louisiana National Guard personnel for law enforcement in the city.
[JURIST] UN Secretary General Kofi Annan [official profile; JURIST news archive] has cut short a vacation and returned to New York in an attempt to break an impasse reached by negotiators discussing an overhaul of the UN and a related series of intrenational initiatives. A 33-member panel has been negotiating a set of reforms [JURIST report] for consideration at a Sept. 14-16 summit [official website], but the group has remained deadlocked over a number of contentious issues, including terrorism, disarmament and development. The September summit is also set to review the Millenium Development Goals [official website], although the US and some others have lobbied against including some goals during the reform negotiations. Annan called for the inclusion [UN news release] of the development goals at the summit. Annan also emphasized the need for UN management reform after the oil-for-food scandal [JURIST news archive] that has embroiled the UN for the past year. A report by the independent panel [IIC official website] investigating the scandal is slated for release only days before the summit gets under way. AFP has more.
[JURIST] The American Civil Liberties Union [official website] argued Wednesday that a federal judge should lift a gag order on a library from which the FBI has demanded circulation records under the USA Patriot Act [PDF text; JURIST news archive]. Prosecutors in the case said lifting the gag order would release the library's identity and jeopardize an ongoing investigation. The ACLU and the library challenged the government's use of the Act to subpoena records [JURIST report] in a suit [PDF complaint] filed last week, but the judge in the case placed the parties under a gag order. The ACLU argued Wednesday that the gag order prevented its client from entering debate about the USA PATRIOT Act, as Congress considers whether to reauthorize the Act [JURIST report]. Federal District Judge Janet Hall said she would not rule on the motion until next week. AP has more. The ACLU has issued a press release on the litigation.
[JURIST] The US Environmental Protection Agency Wednesday temporarily waived certain regulatory fuel standards [text] required under the Clean Air Act [text] in an attempt to head off any shortages and rising prices [AP report] caused by Hurricane Katrina. EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson [official profile] initially waived the standards for four states directly impacted by the hurricane, but then extended it to the entire country. The waiver covers standards for volatility and sulfur, which limit air pollution caused by fuel evaporation and emissions. Johnson said relaxing the standards was necessary to ensure that fuel remained available throughout the country, particular for relief and rescue efforts in the areas affected by Katrina. The EPA has more [news release].
[JURIST] EU diplomats said Wednesday that the European Union may hold off on calls for sanctions against Iran [JURIST news archive; IAEA issue backgrounder] if the country is referred to the UN over its continued nuclear activity. The UN has set a deadline for Saturday by which Iran must halt its atomic fuel production, but Iran has given no indications that it will comply with the demands. European powers Britain, France and Germany suffered a setback in diplomatic negotiations earlier in August when Iran resumed uranium enrichment [JURIST report], prompting the EU to threaten a harder stance at future International Atomic Energy Agency [official website] and UN meetings. EU nations have previously favored diplomacy, while the US has supported UN action [JURIST report] against Iran. The IAEA Board of Governors can refer Iran directly to the UN Security Council [official website]. Iran has maintained that it has a right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty [PDF text] to produce nuclear fuel for civilian uses. AFP has more.
[JURIST] A California state prison inmate who led a radical Islamist group and three others were indicted Wednesday [DOJ press release; AG Gonzales' remarks] on charges that they were plotting terror attacks on several sites in Los Angeles. The indictment [PDF text] charges Levar Haley Washington, Gregory Vernon Patterson, Hammad Riaz Samana and Kevin James with conspiring to wage war against the US government and to attack National Guard facilities and the Israeli Consulate. Prosecutors allege that James, a state prison inmate, founded the radical Islamist prison group Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh [Los Angeles Times report] and recruited the three others to carry out plans by the organization. Washington and Patterson were both arrested in July after allegedly robbing a series of gas stations to finance their activities. Investigators found evidence of the plot in searching the apartment of Washington following his arrest. The case has raised questions [AP report] about the religious practices of prison inmates, who the FBI has said may be more susceptible to radical ideologies. AP has more.
[JURIST] A high-level Food and Drug Administration [official website] official resigned Wednesday to protest the agency's delay in deciding whether to approve emergency contraception pills for over-the-counter sale. Susan Wood, director of the FDA Office of Women's Health [official website], announced her resignation and reasoning in an e-mail to colleagues at the FDA, which was subsequently leaked. The agency on Friday postponed a decision [FDA news release] on whether to allow the Plan B [official website] pill to be sold without a prescription to women over age 16, despite advice by agency scientists that the pill was safe for adult women. Wood's e-mail said the recent agency delay contradicted recommendations by agency scientists and her commitment to improving women's health. The manufacturer of Plan B has sought approval for over-the-counter sales of the pill for the past two years, but it has encountered stiff opposition from those who consider the pill equivalent to abortion and question its safety. Plan B remains available with a doctor's prescription. The recent delay caught many by surprise after FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford [official profile] promised senators during his confirmation hearing [JURIST report] that he would issue a final decision by Sept. 1. AP has more.
[JURIST] Attorneys general from California, New Mexico and Oregon have challenged a decision by the US Forest Service [official website] to allow road building and other development on more than 58.5 million acres of national forest previously protected. California Attorney General Bill Lockyer [official website] said allowing construction of roads on the lands would pave the way for mining and other resource extraction from the forests, which have remained undeveloped up to this point. The Forest Service decision reversed the "roadless rule" adopted by President Bill Clinton in the final days of his presidency, but which had been struck down by a Wyoming federal judge in 2003. The Forest Service instead adopted a policy [JURIST report] that required states to determine jointly with the Forest Service how forests should be managed. State governors were granted an 18-month window to petition for protection or opening of individual forests. Read the final rule [text] issued by the Forest Service. Lockyer's office has a news release on the suit. AP has more.
[JURIST] A Texas law requiring doctors to get parental consent [JURIST report] for minors seeking abortions will take effect Thursday [KXAN Austin report] even though the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners [official website] hasn't finalized the specifics of how doctors should comply with it. The Texas Parental Consent Act [text] is one of many abortion laws that have been passed by state legislatures this term - indeed, the number of state laws restricting access to abortion is at its highest since 1999, when bans on late-term abortions took effect in several states. Several other states have also enacted parental consent requirements and three states have mandated abortion-providers to inform women that the fetus will feel pain during the procedure, despite inconclusive medical evidence and differing expert opinions on the matter. Anti-abortion activists have said they are also pushing lower courts to ban abortions in order to pressure the US Supreme Court [official website] to consider overruling the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade [opinion] decision. For example, South Dakota has developed a controversial "trigger" law that will immediately make abortions illegal in the state in the event that Roe v. Wade is overturned. The Washington Post has more.
[JURIST] Lebanon [JURIST news archive] on Wednesday released a former lawmaker questioned in the investigation into the killing of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri [Wikipedia profile]. Nasser Qandil, a pro-Syrian legislator, refused to comment on what he told investigators after he turned himself in [Arabic News report] Tuesday to the UN commission [JURIST report] investigating the killing after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Four other pro-Syrian security officials remained in custody after being arrested [JURIST report] Tuesday. Lebanese President Emil Lahoud played down the arrests [Arabic News report] and said that no arrest warrants had been issued, a statement that contradicted media reports on the arrests. Media sources owned by the Hariri family reported that Qandil and the other four were questioned concerning a letter Qandil allegedly sent to Syria in support of assassinating Hariri. Investigators also searched two Beirut apartments Wednesday, in the latest of a series of breaks in the investigation into the February bombing that killed the former premier. AP has more.
[JURIST] Officials struggled Wednesday to control looting in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina as tiring law enforcement officers and National Guardsmen undertook more rescue and relief efforts. Widespread looting throughout the city has been reported, with crowds of people stealing food, clothing and other supplies in demand. Terry Ebbert, homeland security chief for New Orleans, said gangs of armed men had broken into stores around the city and taken guns. Police officers stranded on a hotel roof were even fired on by a group of criminals, Ebbert said. Officials seeking under emergency powers [JURIST report] to commandeer materials to aid in rescue efforts were at times competing with looters for supplies. Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco [official website] has sought additional rescue personnel so that state and local security forces can bring the situation under control. Meanwhile in Washington Assistant US Defense Secretary Paul McHale said Wednesday that the National Guard was ready to assist local civilian authorities in law enforcement across the Gulf Coast at the request of state governors, a procedure which circumvents restrictions on direct domestic law enforcement by the military [JURIST report] under the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act [text; Wikipedia backgrounder]. He said the President also could use active duty troops to restore order if necessary, but that step was unlikely. The new US Northern Command (NORTHCOM) [official website] established after the September 11 terror attacks is co-ordinating the deployment of military assets [US DOD report]. From New Orleans, the Times-Picayune has a late report on the looting situation and provides continuing local coverage of the emergency. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld [official profile; JURIST news archive] on Wednesday approved changes to procedures for military commissions [DOD materials] used for trying certain detainees held at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. The changes to Military Commission Order No. 1 [PDF text] primarily increase the role played by the presiding officer, while reducing that of other panel members on the commissions. Presiding officers on commissions are now responsible for deciding issues of law in proceedings, while panel members make determinations on factual issues and sentencing. The reforms also clarify procedures on the presence of those being tried at proceedings and access of the accused to classified information used by prosecutors. The Defense Department has a complete list of changes [PDF text] approved by Rumsfeld. The Defense Department has more [DOD news release].
[JURIST] Indonesia released over 1,400 Achenese rebel inmates Wednesday, granting them blanket amnesty in accordance with a decree signed by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono Tuesday night. The newly freed prisoners have agreed to honor their monumental peace accord [PDF text; JURIST report] with the Indonesian government, which allowed the rebels to form a local political party in exchange for discontinuing their demand for independence and provided for the creation of a human rights tribunal [JURIST report]. The next major step in the peace process designed to end three decades of violence will come in mid-September when rebels remaining in Aceh jungles are expected to begin turning in their weapons. Wednesday's Los Angeles Times has more. The Jakarta Post has local coverage.
[JURIST] US District Court Judge Denise Cote has ruled that a suit filed by the First Presbyterian Church of Sudan against Canadian oil and gas producer Talisman Energy [corporate website] should continue, despite US and Canadian government attempts to have the case dismissed. The church filed suit [PDF complaint] under the Alien Tort Claims Act [text; NPR audio commentary], providing US district courts with original jurisdiction over certain tort claims filed by aliens, claiming Talisman collaborated with the Sudanese government to commit gross human rights violations against the non-Muslim, African Sudanese population. The suit alleges that the violations, including extrajudicial killing, forcible displacement, war crimes, kidnapping and rape, amounted to genocide. The crimes allegedly took place when Talisman worked with the Sudanese government to secure oil fields. Cote's decision not to dismiss the lawsuit came despite a letter from the Canadian Embassy describing the case as "an infringement in the conduct of foreign relations by the government of Canada." The US State Department also sent a letter sharing these concerns, but didn't take a position on the merits of the case. According to Judge Cote, "Even giving substantial deference to the Canada letter, Talisman has not shown that dismissal of this action is appropriate" and "the United States and the international community retain a compelling interest in the application of the international law proscribing atrocities such as genocide and crimes against humanity." AP has more.
[JURIST] The Chinese government signed a Memorandum of Understanding [UN News report] Wednesday agreeing to collaborate with the UN's human rights agency to reform the Chinese legal system in preparation for the adoption of a key UN treaty on civil and political rights. The agreement to revise China's Criminal Procedure Law, its lawyers' law, and other related laws and regulations was signed by Chinese diplomats and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) [official website] Louise Arbour and is a major development towards Beijing accepting the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights [text], although there is no set date for ratification of the document. The UNHCHR agreed to assist China in reforming it's legal system, to help implement recommendations for economic, social, and cultural rights, and to help establish a program that would teach human rights in schools. AP has more. Read the UNHCHR press release.
[JURIST] Jailed Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky [JURIST news archive, defense website], who is serving a nine-year prison sentence on fraud charges, officially announced his intention Wednesday to run for a Russian parliamentary seat [JURIST report]. The election for Khodorkovsky's intended district in the State Duma [official website, in Russian], the lower house of the Russian parliament, will be held in December. The Central Election Commission [official website] has said that Khodorkovsky is eligible to run [RIA Novosti report], as his case is still under appeal. AP has more. MosNews has local coverage.
[JURIST] The Cambodian Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the appeal of a reporter found guilty of defaming Cambodia's foreign minister by suggesting he was involved in prisoners' deaths during the brutal Khmer Rouge [Wikipedia backgrounder] reign. Kay Kimsong and two American reporters working for the Cambodian Daily [media website] were sued over two 2001 articles that accused Foreign Minister Hor Namhong of being actively involved in the oversight of a Phnom Penh prison camp, where, the articles alleged, prisoners were tortured and executed. The Supreme Court upheld the $7,500 fine given Kimsong, rejecting his arguments that he had not received a fair trial and was treated differently from his American colleagues. AP has more.
[JURIST] The ongoing battle against changes to rules that regulate US power plants continued Wednesday, after the Natural Resources Defense Council [advocacy website] made public draft EPA regulations it insists will lead to dirtier power plants. The proposed standards would allow modernized power plants to operate longer hours, thus increasing the plants' allowed daily emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency [official website] has estimated that longer hours would allow certain plants to generate as much as 100,000 tons of pollutants a year under current New Source Review rules (NSR) [EPA materials]. The proposed regulations could also undermine the efforts of several states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont, to control carbon dioxide emissions from more than 600 power plants [NRDC news report] by basing decisions on whether modernized plants comply with the regulations on how much pollution it could potentially emit per hour, rather than the current standard of how much it pollutes annually. An EPA spokeswoman said that the current power plant rule is no longer necessary because the Clean Air Interstate Rule [EPA materials] achieves greater pollution reduction than the NSR modernization guidelines. Wednesday's Washington Post has more.Previously in JURIST's Paper Chase...
[JURIST] The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights (EOHR) [advocacy website], Egypt's leading non-governmental rights group, has said that it does not believe the upcoming presidential elections will be fair due to the lack of neutral election monitors. EOHR and other rights groups are concerned about the composition of the election oversight committee, the committee's decision to bar access to the polling station for independent observers, and the refusal of international supervision [JURIST report]. President Hosni Mubarak [Wikipedia profile] is largely expected to win the elections, which are the first multi-candidate elections [JURIST report] in Egypt's history. Despite the election committee's rules, EOHR has trained nearly 600 election monitors [EOHR press release] and plans to train more to monitor outside the polling stations and to catch possible abuses there. Reuters has more. Egypt Guide has local coverage.
[JURIST] Human rights group Amnesty International [advocacy website] reported Tuesday that two men who were formerly held at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp [JURIST news archive] have been detained in Russia [Amnesty International press release] by men claiming to be security force officials. Airat Vakhitov and Rustam Akhmyarov were released from Guantanamo Bay last year with five other Russian men and returned to their home country. Moscow police and prosecutors in Tartarstan, Russia said they have not received information on the reason for the men's detention, while Geidar Dzhemal, head of Russia's Islamic Committee, said that prosecutors have reportedly confirmed that the men are being held for their suspected involvement in several terrorist attacks. Amnesty International spokesperson Victoria Webb said that the group was "extremely concerned" about the men's whereabouts, and urged Russian authorities to conduct a full investigation. AP has more.
[JURIST] A US military tribunal in Iraq has ruled that a Reuters cameraman being held without charge in Abu Ghraib prison [JURIST news archive] will be detained for another six months while the US reviews its case against him. Iraqi Ali Omar Abrahem al-Mashhadani was arrested on August 8 and will not be allowed to see a lawyer, family, or anyone else for the first sixty days of his detention. A second Reuters cameraman, Haider Kadhem, was arrested after being wounded in a shooting that killed a colleague. Kadhem was released Wednesday [Reuters report], although the military says the investigation is ongoing. Reuters has demanded the release [AP report] of both men, and is currently seeking details of the accusations against them. Two media rights groups last week called for the release of the journalists [JURIST report]. The Guardian has more.
[JURIST] Attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union [advocacy website] are expected to file suit in federal court Wednesday, demanding the release of Numan Adnan Al Kaby, an Iraqi-born permanent US resident arrested and held in Baghdad since April 2005. Al Kaby was arrested in Baghdad after the US military camp where he worked as a contractor was hit by a mortar attack. A military tribunal later found that Al Kaby had nothing to do with the attack, and his attorneys argue that his continued detention without charge violates his right to due process. The story is similar to the plight of Cyrus Kar, an American filmmaker released in July [JURIST report] after being detained by US forces in Iraq for 54 days [JURIST report]. The Washington Post has more.
[JURIST] A US federal court has frozen the Palestinian Authority's access to assets held in the US after it failed to pay $116 in damages for the 1996 shooting deaths of an American citizen and his Israeli wife. After the deaths of Yaron and Efrat Ungar, a five-year legal battle ensued against the Palestinian Liberation Organization [UN backgrounder] and the Palestinian Authority [official website] which resulted in a judgment against the two groups [JURIST report] last year. The defendants are still able to withdraw monies from certain accounts in order to cover daily operation expenses in their New York and Washington offices. US State Department [official website] spokesman Sean McCormack said the department does not believe any of the assets have yet been seized [press briefing transcript], while lawyers for the Ungar estate insist the funds are already inaccessible. Aljazeera has more. The Boston Globe has local coverage.
[JURIST] After hearing oral arguments Tuesday, US District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein [Wikipedia profile] expressed hesitation over ordering the release of 97 Department of Defense [official website] photos and videotapes depicting the abuse of prisoners held by US forces at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison [JURIST news archive]. The request is part of a 2003 ACLU lawsuit [press release] in which the organization contends that release of the material is part of "our democratic idea of public accountability." US General Richard Myers [Wikipedia profile] and other US officials have warned the court [Myers affidavit, PDF] that the material will fuel insurgents and will spawn increased al Qaeda recruitment. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Supreme Court of Nicaragua [official website] has ruled that former Nicaraguan President Arnoldo Aleman [Wikipedia profile], who was sentenced to 20 years in prison [BBC report] in 2003, can leave his home and move freely around Managua, Nicaragua's capital. Aleman was convicted on multiple charges, including money laundering, fraud, embezzlement and electoral crimes, during his 1997-2002 presidency, making him the first Nicaraguan ex-president to be convicted of a crime. Aleman's 20-year sentence has been altered once before due to ongoing health concerns; last year Aleman was allowed to leave his jail cell to serve his sentence at his plantation outside the capital city. The Supreme Court Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling that Aleman should be free to move around Managua based on his chronic health care needs. Current President Enrique Bolanos, who himself faces election fraud charges, said that the change in Aleman's sentence was engineered by Aleman's allies on the court. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] AP is reporting that Philippine legislators have quashed the impeachment case against Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo [official website; Wikipedia backgrounder]. With opposition members boycotting, the House Committee on Justice [official website] voted to quash all impeachment complaints against Arroyo, who has been accused of rigging last year's election. AP has more.Previously in JURIST's Paper Chase...
[JURIST] Federal Bureau of Investigation [official website] agents have been ordered to conduct "threat assessments" of prison inmates in order to determine whether they could commit extremist violence when released, according to a letter obtained by AP. Randy D. Parsons, acting assistant chief of the FBI's Los Angeles office, wrote that the goal behind the new policy is to "assess and disrupt the recruitment and conversion of inmates to radicalized ideologies which advocate violence." In testimony [text; JURIST report] before the US Senate Committee on Intelligence in February, FBI Director Robert Mueller [official profile] said that
the FBI has been involved in a coordinated effort between law enforcement and corrections personnel to combat the recruitment and radicalization of prison inmates. Prisons continue to be fertile ground for extremists who exploit both a prisoner's conversion to Islam while still in prison, as well as their socio-economic status and placement in the community upon their release.

Murray State AD upset with search firm calling Prohm last weekAfter a 31-2 season, it was expected Murray State coach Steve Prohm would be targeted for many of the bigger college basketball vacancies across the country. It's when he was targeted that has upset Murray State athletics director Allen Ward. While Ward may not be happy with the timing of the call, it's apparently not out of the ordinary. One coaching source tells WPSD search firms call coaches in mid-season all of the time to check on their interest. Minutes after the loss to Marquette, and after the search firm had already contacted him, reporters asked Prohm about whether he would return to Murray State for a second season. "Oh yeah, I'll be back in Murray. I'll be back in Murray. I love Murray and I want to be at Murray. We signed a great class and we've got great kids coming back. We've got a great future here." |

Palladino: Poulter vs. Poulter
With VIDEO report
On Wednesday, it was Poulter vs. Poulter at Wilby High.
Wilby hosted Sacred Heart in a junior varsity soccer game and that meant that on one end of the field there was Randy Poulter, 53, coach of the Wilby junior varsity team for the past 10 years.
On the other side of the pitch was Dennis Poulter, 24, son of Randy and a former Wilby soccer star now in his third season as a coach with the Hearts.
For the first time, Waterbury's first family of coaching locked horns on the field.
It seemed odd that it took this long.
Papa Poulter, 53, is the assistant soccer coach at Wilby and the head boys swim coach. Oldest son Craig, 27, a Wilby grad, is the girls swim coach at Wilby.
He was All-City in soccer and baseball for the Wildcats. Youngest son Dennis, 24, is the assistant boys soccer coach at Sacred Heart. Dennis was All-State in baseball and All-City in soccer for the Wildcats. He played soccer at Western Connecticut.
And do not forget daughter Kelsey, 22, a three-time All-State gymnast performing as a team of one for the Wildcats while a student at Waterbury Arts Magnet School. She coaches gymnastics at Girls Inc.
Another father-son coaching matchup is in swimming between Naugatuck coach Jim McKee and his son Mark, head swim coach at Masuk. The McKees next clash on Oct. 15, at Masuk. It is the fourth family meeting. Dad has won the previous three.
"The meets were proud moments, but not special coaching moments," said Jim McKee. "I am proud of Mark all of the time, but I wanted to win the meet."
The Poulter coaching circles have spun throughout the city for nearly two decades. Wednesday was the first time the circles came together in the same place, with different teams.
"It is a little weird," Dennis Poulter said before the opening kick off. "It is kind of like the Super Bowl when the (Harbaugh) brothers coached against each other, but on a smaller scale."
Dennis has played on teams coached by his dad since the age of five. If there is one trait he hopes to inherit, it is Randy Poulter's passion and energy.
"His excitement and enthusiasm for the game, it's almost like he wants to be out there," Dennis said. "I try to emulate that."
The Hearts won this game, 3-2. Randy was OK with that. For dad, the big picture has all of his children working with city youth. The final score is only part of the story.
"You know, they are still in the city," Randy said. "Born and raised in the city, educated in the city, and still working with city kids."
And for at least one afternoon, going head to head with dear old dad in an NVL soccer game.

" What a great Waterbury family! The Poulters are an example of the amazing people that make up this city. There are many other Waterbury families out there making a positive impact for others but the Poulters are one of the BEST! I was able to see first hand the level of care, hardwork, and support they give to any city kid looking to do something positive through sports. Great article! "
Dawn wrote on Oct 3, 2013 8:34 PM:
" This is an amazing article about a family who are all dedicated to the young people of Waterbury. Their dedication, enthusiasm, integrity and loyalty are inspirational and it comes from great roots on both sides. Poppa Joe Skerrit and Poppa Bruce Poulter along with Mae and Rita instilled a value in their children that is now being carried on through the works of their children and grandchildren. "

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) - A day care transportation vehicle was involved in a crash Wednesday afternoon near downtown Toledo.
The day care center bus from Dreams of Tomorrow Learning Center was occupied by only the driver. No students were on board.
The driver was not injured.
It happened around 2 p.m. at the corner of Dorr and City Park. The driver says the steering on the mini-bus locked up and he lost control, crashing into a utility pole with traffic lights.
The traffic signal will be operating in the flash mode until repairs are completed.

Agreed with Spex and Mick, quite a thin donor. Definitely wouldn't do strip, can't imagine how long you would have to have your hair to cover even the thinnest of scars.
Good thing that you did your research and didn't have a strip from Ziering, the fact they they recommended that is bizarre, well they get a load of money from it. As you have progressed to this stage of hairloss, it won't hurt to spend a lot more time researching this before you do anything. Propecia and Regaine would be a good idea for now though.
My Hairloss Website |
Hi all,
This is an interesting thread, and I feel I'm suffering from the same issue as you Diego with a potential weak donor supply and significant crown loss. Sorry for hi-jacking your thread, but I would like to briefly talk about my story to. Here's the link to my photos: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.co...ransplant.html For now, I'm looking to stay on propecia and minoxidil every day for 12 months and re-assess how my hair has changed over the year. I am however, very interested in perhaps taking the FUE/SMP (temporary ink from Beauty Medical?) in 12-18 months time. I would like to re-shape my hair line with FUE, and perhaps get the crown filled in with a few graphs... or at the very least SMP. I am into fitness modelling which includes photography/getting up on stage etc and so framing the face is very important. FUT is unlikely to be an option for me and not something I am too interested in. I just want to wear my hair shaved as it currently is, or cropped with a bit of a fringe but shaved everywhere else. Interested in how your situation plays out and what you decide to go with Diego! All the best! |
I agree with spanker.... IMHO, the minox and fin are half-measures (maintain existing hair, with a small likelihood of regrowth); the routine of applying the topical and taking pills is a drudgery. You seem to have nice-shaped head and might look good with a buzz? Wish my head was as nicely shaped, but I still am shooting for the buzz look after SMP. Anyhow, if the buzz look doesn't satisfy you....look into a combo of ht and smp. Ultimately, the probability of long-term satisfaction with the combo(smp and ht with tons of doctor research) is much higher than with topicals, pills, cracking eggs on your head,licking banana peels, snorting ginseng, etc.....
I agree with the rest. Having surgery would do more harm than good. Try Finasteride and Minoxidil for a year and see what happens. I've seen people who weren't candidates for surgery have such a turn around with meds that they could have surgery.
Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1? |
Remember, Finasteride isn't for everyone. Stop using it about a week, if something doesn't feel right. Rogaine, I would totally stay away from. Those two products made my life hell! The best advice ever would be to leave it alone until you're ready for a hair transplant.

The Queue: Q?
I haven't opined about Star Trek in a while. So here's a video of Patrick Stewart being awesome for Gene Roddenberry.
Ic3d asked:
Whats the best class and spec to solo raids with and whatever class it is, how far can it go?
I've heard people say they've been able to solo the old raids with every class out there. Of course the damage and tanking specs are going to be the best, but I know even clothies are able to achieve success here.
From my own experience heavy AoE plate wearers with strong self healing abilities have the easiest time soloing old content. To me, that means my paladin, although I'm sure there'll be a lot of QQ below…
Valantor asked:
Has blizzard said anything about ciner kitty , i was under the impression we were waiting on the patch for it to go on sale but besides the announcement i havent seen anything else
We know we're getting it soon, but how soon we're not sure. Blizzard needs to deliver these things correctly, and there's a lot of moving parts in getting them out the door. While it's just 1s and 0s on our end, on Blizzard's side the business transaction has a lot more to it. Give it time, and I'm sure it'll be out.
It would have been nicer though to see it sooner… I do wonder if sales would have been larger when Sandy's impact was more on the forefront of everyone's mind. It's been almost a month now.
Ethan Kelleher asked:
When will Blizzard be updating the Armory to reflect upgrades, thus allowing us to use third party websites to better our toons?
We don't know, but we do know there's people at Blizzard that are actively upgrading the armory and the backend data service. So I'd assume the information will be available soon.
Amax asked:
So, is it possible to get a portal for an alt to the Shrine of Seven Stars before the zone is unlocked for an alt like we used to for Dalaran and Shattrath?
Yes. You can have a mage portal you there, or get a warlock to summon you. If you're there — you're there. Some things might not function correctly due to the story bound nature of your arrival in the zone, but it works just fine to park a guilded bank alt.
Broleap asked:
Why does it seem like whenever a vote kick is initiated, people jump on board? I was in a group the other day where we finished a boss and the tank walked a few feet and stopped. The hapless Mage accidentally sauntered into a group of trash, and we lived because the tank picked them up. No harm done. The tank immediately flips out, telling the Mage he should just tank if he wants to pull, and that he was waiting on the healer to get mana (I was healing and finished the boss with 90% of my mana intact… Not sure what he was waiting on). He votes to kick the Mage, I click no because people make mistakes. Mage gets kicked anyway by the 2 silent dps. This is just irritating. Sorry, more of a rant than a question haha
I fully agree with what Corey said in the comments:
"Welcome to the Internet, where people instantly agree with the loudest opinions, no matter how terrible."
People naturally gravitate towards group opinions. If there's a chance for everyone to socially agree with each other, most will take it. That often means that the strongestly stated opinion wins out. A vote to kick is a very strongly stated opinion. When people see a kick, their minds think that everyone will want to kick, so they do. You're then part of a group, and you have the best chance for survival in a group. It's very basic animal behavior.
I feel that in LFR when the group is less personal and more dehumanized, these group think actions are more prevalent. It's sad… it's annoying… and it's not right. But that's what's happening.
There have been a few times though when I've initiated a group kick. I try to make it clear in /raid chat why I'm kicking. I've never not initiated a successful kick either. And if I wasn't successful, I would just leave and find something else to do, because playing with people that need to be kicked is no fun.
(I realize that some people are going to say how rude I am for calling people out before I kick them, but if you're going to deny a gaming experience to someone, the least you can do is tell them why.)

Apple could make bid for map firm TomTom, analyst says
Apple could make a bid for GPS and mapping company TomTom, according to an analyst.
In a note to investors today, Hans Slob, a Netherlands-based analyst at Rabobank International, said he believes there's a 30 percent chance of Apple offering to acquire TomTom. The move, he said, would be designed to quickly handle any troubles Apple could be facing with its Maps iOS application.
"TomTom needs the cash from Apple, and Apple needs the know-how of TomTom," Slob said, according to Bloomberg, which was first to report on the story.

Check out Big Mama's Rib Shack in Pasadena, not too far from Roscoe's on North Lake Ave.
I love Big Mama's. http://www.bigmamas-ribshack.com/
Prepared for major Chow backlash here. I enjoy the fried chicken at Billingsley's. Yep, the place where if you are in your 50's, you will be the youngest diners in the restaurant. Oh, and by the way, if you sit at the bar and order a vodka gimlet, they have green cherries :)
re: Ogawak
As a child I frequented this restaurant with my parents. Then it was known as The Golden Bull. I skipped going there for decades after adulthood. Now at 52, I've re-discovered the enjoyment of "zero scene" at this restaurant. It's real people, real servers, and simple fare to eat. No long waits. No "on purpose" construction that makes the dining room noisy to simulate "fun". Besides their fried chicken, I really dig their fried shrimp dinner, and also the sliced sirloin steak. Typically I'm a "medium rare" steak person, but it was recommended that for their version, to order medium, as more of the seasoning/marinade flavors come through. It is tasty! Do I still enjoy visiting trendy restaurants with "wow factor" food, interesting people, etc? Absopositivelutely!!! But I also dig the comfort of restaurants that can give me a blast of the past, such as Billingsleys. By the way, I'm speaking of the one on Pico Blvd. in W.L.A.
Two suggestions:
1) Pioneer fried chicken on Sunset & Echo Park Avenue. Don't miss the fried chicken livers in addition to the normal fried chicken pieces. I love the tasty batter.
2) Hu's chinese restaurant (near corner of Motor Ave & National Ave in West LA). The spicy chinese chicken wings are fabulous. -
Porky's is amazing - every single thing on the menu. Honey's Kettle in Culver City also has delicious chicken and a very tasty, vinegar sauce to dup the chicken in.
re: Servorg
I completely agree about Honey's Kettle! Their chicken is great, but it takes forever! It doesn't make any sense, either. They have so much chicken ready (you can see it in the kitchen all ready to go) so why does it take soooo long to get your food?? Alas, it doesn't stop me from going back...
We've split a recipe for fried chicken out of this thread onto our Home Cooking board. The new thread can be found at http://www.chowhound.com/topics/495609
re: fgrade
I had Clifton's fried chicken recently. I wouldn't go out of my way for it but I would go out of my way to go to Clifton's so...
A photo from my visit:
Pann's sets the bar for tender fried chicken in the Los Angeles Area. Run a search using the key words "Pann's fried chicken wings" and you will find so many Hounds claiming Pann's makes the best wings in L.A. Well, that is true but the wing is just the tip of the bird. I love the wings also and the first time I decided to try the whole fried chicken dinner it was very hard for me to not order a large plate full of those wings insted. I have been back several times since then and now the Fried Chicken dinner is all I order at Pann's and Pann's is the only place in L.A. that I now order fried chicken.
re: JeetJet
Just had their fried half chicken dinner this past Saturday night, (wife had wings and waffle). Really fantastic.
re: Servorg
Yeah, the wings and waffle plate is so good that it is hard to not order it, but IMO the chicken dinner is even better. What I would really like is to have the half fried chicken with a waffle as my only side dish. I wonder whether they can substitute like that? Add one of those really good Oreo Cookie Shakes all inside that great Googie ambiance and that is the best chicken meal in L.A.
re: Servorg
Gaffey Street Diner makes outstanding biscuits and white sausage gravy. They akso make basted eggs very well. I never had the chicken but have tried the fried pork chops with all the above. Great food every time.
Gaffey Street Diner
Bertha's on Century Blvd near Crenshaw has the best fried chicken in Los Angeles. It is a restaurant where the after church crowd dressed in their finery go on Sundays. Porkchops, oxtails, greens are all far superior to Aunt Kizzy's, M and M's; also better and cheaper than Roscoe's.
No one has mentioned Honey's Kettle yet! I think it's wonderful and so cruncy. There's one in Compton and one in Culver City.
Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles has pretty good fried chicken but my favorite is the Golden Bird fried chicken at Porky's in Inglewood. There are other Golden Bird locations around but they don't start with chicken that's as fresh and plump as Porky's.

re: jlrobe
Went to
on Saturday...we have already eaten our way through the menu so I thought we'd start all over again...my friend and I BOTH ordered the fried chicken thinking we'd have enough for breakfast in the morning...wrong...not because the portions were small...on the contrary, we each got a thigh, wing, and drumstick...the think was, the crispy skin/coating situation is so damn addictive that I just couldn't stop eating it!
We just kep eating and eating and eating, next thing we knew, the bones were licked clean.
I LOVE their fried chicken!!! Damn them to he!!! I cannot resist the skin!
Aaah, and don't forget some potato salad.
Thanks Larkins for making me have to workout more because of all those yummy extra calories!
Well worth it!
OB Bear is a pub in Koreatown makes awesome Korean-style fried chicken. A whole chicken is split in half and fried until the skin becomes crisp (it's the best part). The meat is also very moist and tender. It's served with a side salt & pepper for dipping, daikon, and cabbage salad. OB Bear also has other Korean "pub food" that's yummy, but I think they're know for their fried chicken. They also have Samuel Adams and Heineken on tap!! And just for my non-Korean brothers & sisters, they have an English menu.

Does Pollo Campero count as fried chicken? It's more like broasted chicken but it is nice, juicy, crispy and oh so tasty. Has various locations in LA. We also like Roscoe's (on La Brea, in Hollywood and Pasadena). And Astro's in Silverlake area makes really good fried chicken too.
re: gonavera
Pollo Campero is a chain native to El Salvador, the Pollos there blow the LA location out of the water on juicy, crispy, tasty. I feel like its better in Salvador because of some magical frying oil that must be banned by the FDA. If you're ever in Central America you must go. Anyone who's flown Taca Airlines from San Salvador will certainly have noticed distinct smell of fried chicken emanating from all the boxes of Pollo Campero in the overhead bins...
re: wutzizname
Respectfully disagree. Cynthia's purports to be "healthier" fried chicken, as it's skinless and breast meat. It's overly peppery IMO, and totally doesn't do it for me in terms of a classic fried chicken craving. If I'm here, gimme something light, so I can save room for me cobbler.
If you're in a hurry and just want to satisfy your craving without restaurant, Albertson's fresh deli section will fry you up chicken to order, and it's surprisingly crispy and well-flavored.
re: wutzizname
Cynthia herself touted that to us when she was still on board... On one of her off days, she said we couldn't have her cobbler unless we had the fried chicken, "the best and healthiest in the city." Then again with Cynthia... she said whatever fit her moment... Healthy or not, it was always too peppery for my taste, and skinless isn't fried chicken to me ;)

Adapalene is an anti-acne medication belonging to the group of chemicals called as "Retinoids" and is related to Vitamin A. Adapalene is used for treatment of mild to moderate Acne, Psoriasis and few other skin conditions. It works by increasing the turnover rate of epithelial cells in the skin. Which basically means that it increase the rate of new skin cells replacing the older dead skin cells.
It is used on the face, chest or back for Acne, where the skin may have lots of blackheads, spots and pimples. It is absorbed into the body in very small amounts, and has little effect, except on the surface of the skin.

text: Pussy Riot band members Samutsevich, Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina are serving two-year prison sentences after they were convicted [JURIST report] in August of hooliganism in connection with "guerrilla performance" of a protest song in February at the altar of downtown Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral. Several days prior to the trial, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev [official website, in Russian] called for the release of the Pussy Riot band members, saying that time served has been severe enough and that any more time in prison would be counterproductive. The Russian Presidential Council on Human Rights [official website, in Russian] has questioned the legitimacy [JURIST report] of the court's verdict and sentence. Pussy Riot's defense lawyers moved [JURIST report] earlier in August to have one of the judges recuse herself from the case, saying her decisions are politically motivated. Since the beginning of the trial [JURIST report], the group's lawyers and human rights groups have said the charges were politically motivated by President Vladimir Putin [official website; JURIST news archive] to discredit his opposition.

TO THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS LORD COUNT OF NOAILLES[43]Counsellor of his Most Christian Majesty, Knight of the Order of the Holy Ghost, Field Marshal and Commander, Seneschal and Governor of Rouergue, and His Majesty's Lieutenant in Auvergne, my Lord and Worshipful Patron MOST ILLUSTRIOUS LORD:— In the pleasure which you derive from the possession of this work of mine I recognize your Lordship's magnanimity. The disappointment and discouragement I have felt over the ill-fortune which has followed my other books are already known to you. Indeed, I had decided not to publish any more of my work. And yet in order to save it from complete oblivion, it seemed to me wise to leave a manuscript copy in some place where it would be available at least to those who follow intelligently the subjects which I have treated. Accordingly I chose first to place my work in your Lordship's hands, asking no more worthy depository, and believing that, on account of your affection for me, you would have at heart the preservation of my studies and labors. Therefore, when you were returning home from your mission to Rome, I came to pay my respects in person as I had already done many times before by letter. At this meeting I presented to your Lordship a copy of these two works which at that time I happened to have ready. In the gracious reception which you gave these I found assurance of their preservation. The fact of your carrying them to France and showing them to friends of yours who are skilled in these sciences gave evidence that my silence was not to be interpreted as complete idleness. A little later, just as I was on the point of[44] sending other copies to Germany, Flanders, England, Spain and possibly to some places in Italy, I was notified by the Elzevirs that they had these works of mine in press and that I ought to decide upon a dedication and send them a reply at once. This sudden and unexpected news led me to think that the eagerness of your Lordship to revive and spread my name by passing these works on to various friends was the real cause of their falling into the hands of printers who, because they had already published other works of mine, now wished to honor me with a beautiful and ornate edition of this work. But these writings of mine must have received additional value from the criticism of so excellent a judge as your Lordship, who by the union of many virtues has won the admiration of all. Your desire to enlarge the renown of my work shows your unparalleled generosity and your zeal for the public welfare which you thought would thus be promoted. Under these circumstances it is eminently fitting that I should, in unmistakable terms, gratefully acknowledge this generosity on the part of your Lordship, who has given to my fame wings that have carried it into regions more distant than I had dared to hope. It is, therefore, proper that I dedicate to your Lordship this child of my brain. To this course I am constrained not only by the weight of obligation under which you have placed me, but also, if I may so speak, by the interest which I have in securing your Lordship as the defender of my reputation against adversaries who may attack it while I remain under your protection. And now, advancing under your banner, I pay my respects to you by wishing that you may be rewarded for these kindnesses by the achievement of the highest happiness and greatness. I am your Lordship's Most devoted Servant,Galileo Galilei. Arcetri, 6 March, 1638. |

Descriptions: The M60 Machine gun has seen service with the United States Military since 1957 and is most famous for its use by G.I.s in the Vietnam War. Since that time it has been adapted for use all over the world with countries like Australia, Columbia, Taiwan, and South Korea. Although there are numerous newer designs that are in use with the military the M60 has seen combat in the Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The M60E4 has the standard M60 handguard replaced with one that includes a vertical foregrip that allows the M60 to be wielded more effectively when not in a fixed position. The barrel of the M60E4 has also been shortened and the bi-pod has been attached to the receiver for improved stability. The Escort M60 is by far the most realistic replica M60 to hit the market. It is built off the body of the Inokatsu M60 which is already well know for having a realistic external design constructed almost entirely out of metal. Escort adds to the realism with their own custom CO2 powered blow back mechbox. This unique blow back design causes the bolt to blowback every time a BB is fired and runs off a standard CO2 canister that can be purchased at any paintball store. This M60 is an excellent addition for collectors or anyone looking for a support machine gun.
Specifications Gearbox Type: Escort M60 Blowback Custom Length: 1077 mm Accuracy: 120 feet Magazine Capacity: Drum Magazine Muzzle Velocity: 300-420 FPS (120 to 140 PSI) Package Includes: gun, box magazine, manual
Features: Sling Attachment Points Folding Carry Handle Inokatsu Metal Externals Escort Gas system Internals Flip-Up Adjustable Rear Sight Integrated Folding Bi-Pod

If you wanna be with Dominic press here
You must be very patient in order to do this. If you notice, Godfrey probably has been visiting your shop lately. I tell you this: Godfrey knows how much Dominic loves you (a LOT) and he can see why. It is designed in the game that everybody thinks you are the nicest and prettiest person they know, they just won't admit it. What you have to do is visit Dominic's mansion (hopefully Dominic won't be there) twice a day for a few months, and Eunice will find out Dominic likes you, and Godfrey and Eunice won't be able to stand it anymore and persuade Dominic to ask you out. If that doesn't wort Godfrey will 'accidentally' create a dinner for 2 for u and Dominic. Good luck!

Thanks! But I can't credit running with my weight loss at all. I haven't lost a single pound with running (even though it was my primary reason for starting). I lost my weight by watching carbs (cutting out all white flour, white sugar, white rice, potatoes--high glycemic carbs...eating lots of veggies and low-glycemic fruits, instead) and calories very carefully. I had tried the low-fat thing for years but all I lost was sanity and will to live. By the end of the day the blood sugar fluctuations had me wanting to gnaw my arm off. The only reason I can eat "normal" levels of carbs now is because I am actually burning them off at a regular rate. I come from a family of people with blood sugar issues and was well on my way to type 2, myself, if I hadn't reined things in when I did. About a year ago a good friend of mine was diagnosed and seeing what she has to deal with makes me so thankful that I took control when I did.

Atlanta Braves: 4 Reasons Tim Hudson Should Pitch Potential 1-Game Playoff
By Matt Powers ,
Tim Hudson deserves a chance to start any one-game playoff for the Braves.
After being a bit of a disappointment in the first half of the season, the Braves have seen their starting rotation pitch better since the All-Star break. The signing of Ben Sheets, the trade for Paul Maholm and the conversion of Kris Medlen from reliever to starter have been big reasons why the rotation has stepped up.
In fact the Braves have been pitching so well of late that it appears the team is set to go with a six-man rotation once Tommy Hanson returns from the disabled list. Considering the Braves struggled to find more than three solid starters in the first half and lost their best pitcher to injury, things have come a long way.
One decision the Braves will need to make is who they will start if they head to a one-game wild-card playoff. My choice is Tim Hudson, and this article gives four reasons why I believe that should be the case.
Tim Hudson is a veteran that still wins games.
One thing about Tim Hudson is that he seems to be the veteran leader of the group, and has been for the last few seasons. Hudson's work ethic and ability have helped him to remain a strong pitcher at the age of 37, as well as set a good example for the younger pitchers on the staff.
Hudson has won a total of 193 games in his career, and is currently sitting at 12-4 with a 3.59 ERA in 20 starts this year. His stuff isn't what it used to be, but he's still a guy that averages more than six innings per start despite his age and the fact that he had back surgery in the offseason.
There just isn't a better mix of veteran presence and ability on the staff right now, and Hudson has plenty of big-game experience throughout his career.
Ben Sheets may be Tim Hudson's toughest competition.
Taking a look at the Braves' roster, it is pretty easy to pick out the best starter so far this year. Obviously that guy is Brandon Beachy, but with him out due to injury, that honor belongs to Tim Hudson.
Mike Minor and Randall Delgado have been up and down all season, while Tommy Hanson and Jair Jurrjens have had disappointing seasons by their standards. That leaves four other guys in the picture, and three of them just don't have the number of starts to beat out Hudson.
That is because Hudson's top competitor, Ben Sheets, didn't even sign with the Braves until the halfway point of the year after being out of baseball since 2010. As good as Sheets has been, he's only made six starts on the year.
Kris Medlen has spent the bulk of the year in the bullpen and Paul Maholm just recently came over in a trade, though he's more of a strong back-of-the-rotation pitcher.
Hudson is clearly the best starter the Braves have this season, and also has the longest track record with the team this year.
Tim Hudson knows how to handle the bat as well as pitch.
In a one-game playoff with the season on the line, intangibles become a big part in decision making. This is another thing in Tim Hudson's favor, as his ability to handle the bat separates him from the rest of the Braves pitchers. The former Auburn University star is actually one of the better hitting pitchers in the game.
For the year Hudson is hitting a very solid .211 in 38 at-bats with a pair of doubles. This doesn't even include his ability to move runners over, as he has four sacrifice bunts and a pair of sacrifice flies among his five RBI. Hudson is second among Braves pitchers in batting average, and leads the group in hits, sacrifice flies, RBI and extra-base hits.
This is especially important in the playoffs as Hudson may be allowed to stay in the game instead of getting pulled in favor of a pinch hitter. Giving Fredi Gonzalez this option could potentially make a big difference in a close game.
Paul Maholm has no playoff experience, just like most of the Braves' starters.
Tim Hudson has appeared in 10 playoff games in his career, including nine starts, coming over the course of six different seasons between his time with the Braves and the Athletics. He has gone 1-3 with a 3.46 during that time, but has managed to post a 1.14 WHIP. This is by far the most impressive playoff resume out of all of the pitchers on the Braves' roster.
Tommy Hanson made one playoff start, and got hit hard. Hanson is the only other member of the projected six-man rotation with any playoff experience as Ben Sheets, Mike Minor, Kris Medlen and Paul Maholm all have yet to pitch in a postseason game.
When one game decides the whole season, it will be extremely hard for the Braves to give the ball to a guy with no playoff experience. The way last season ended only puts more pressure on management to win now and make it deep into the playoffs.

Comfortable Cardigan
Par Claire

This is a very comfortable cardigan ,not too heavy and a looks great with a dress or a pencil skirt. The camisole from the Orange Fashions matches perfect and makes a lovey ensemble. I wear m/l and have no problem with this cardigan.
Disappointed - sleeves too tight
Par TC
de PEI
This is a nice cardigan except for the fact that the sleeves are snug. I believe I have average size arms and find the sleeves to be extremely tight. I would have to wear the cardigan with something that had short sleeves because anything with a sleeve would be impossible to comfortably wear. It had a nice weight and feel to it. But, I am disappointed with how the sleeves feel and plan to return it.

So comfortable and nice for winter, office or casual evening wear.Fits on the small side. I wear a petite medium size, so ordered S/M and it just fits, just... The black sweater is soft and moves beautifully - has an attractive, draped style. It fits with a bit of stretch.

Another Winner!
Par YorkieLover

Orange has done it again! This charcoal cardigan is just the right weight & has a lovely swing/flow to it. It is perfect to wear on top of a long or short sleeve sweater,top or dress. It does not cling to the fabric underneath as other cardis do. Dress it up or down, another Orange winner!!!
Love this cardigan!!
Par Cheryl
de Edmonton
I was so shocked at how soft this beautiful sweater was. I bought this in the grey and swear to you I have worn this every single day ever since. With the cooler weather upon us plus I live in Alberta, this SOFT gorgeous sweater is a must!! Thanks to TSC and Orange, keep it coming!
Another Orange winner!
Luv Orange!I fully agree with the other shopper: soft, comfortable & affordable.Goes with anything but I would most likely wear it for daytime. It's a bit on the thinner side, so one couldn't wear it in place of a sweater. Highly enjoyable!
Great fit and Comfort
Par Maureen
de Thunder Bay, Ontario
I purchased the emerald swing cardigan in the small which fits perfectly. The material is so extremely soft and as usual when I receive a garment, I wash it. there were no problems after hanging to dry. I find some of these knit garments last longer and do not pill if not put in the dryer...or at least not a full cycle of heat. It is the perfect weight, but trying to find a matching green to accompany this sweater has been a challenge, although I have ordered the reversible pants/leggings. If need be, will try to locate a multi-green shirt or at least wear black under the sweater with black slacks and/or brown in both. either way it will work out. I have another similar sweater from Orange in a taupe from last year plus a couple other summer garments. Usually I have to go with a small in this line, and it is flattering and comfortable at the same time. I can't say enough about the feel of the sweater's fabric. Oh, so soft.
So SOFT!!!

This is such a soft comfortable cardigan, perfect for casual or dressy events!

Home insurance rates in Indiana
Homeowners in Indiana are paying around $811.00 for home insurance as of February of 2014. Rates have increased since January when Indiana homeowners insurance premiums were approximately $809.00. The rate of $811/year reflects standard coverage and does not include flood or earthquake damage which is covered under a separate policy.
Although average Indiana homeowners insurance rates can decrease as well as increase, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to save more on your own home insurance premium. Make it point to shop annually for coverage and ask about discounts that may be available to you.
For example, homeowners can often save up to 20% by bundling their home and auto policies with one carrier or can save up to 10% by have a security alarm installed in their home. Here are some other common discounts you can ask about:
- Claims-free discount
- 55, retiree discount
- Non-smoker discount
- New home discount
Don't be afraid to ask about even more available price breaks.
Standard Indiana homeowners insurance coverage
- Dwelling: Protects your home's structure against covered events such as fire, wind, and hail. Your dwelling coverage should be enough to replace your home in the event of a complete loss.
- Other Structures: Covers structures on the property outside of your home from those events. The structures may include detached garages, sheds, fences, etc.
- Loss of Use: In the event your home becomes partially or entirely uninhabitable due to a covered peril, your loss of use coverage would help pay for living expenses incurred while being displaced.
- Contents: Standard Indiana homeowners insurance offers protections for the personal possessions inside your home such as electronics, furniture, clothing, jewelry, etc. You may need to purchase additional coverage if you own high value items because the standard coverage may not fully cover them.
- Medical Payments: Helps pay medical bills if someone is hurt on your property and doesn't plan to sue you.
- Personal Liability Protection: Provides financial protection in the event someone is injured on your property and sues you.
Keep in mind, standard Indiana homeowners insurance policies do not offer coverage for flood damage. Homeowners who need flood protection can purchase a separate policy through the National Flood Insurance Program. For homes located in flood plains, flood insurance is a necessity. For homes not located in flood plains, flood insurance should still be considered. Weather can be unexpected and homeowners in the Northeast whose homes were damaged by the rising waters from Superstorm Sandy can attest to that. Learn more about the National Flood Insurance Program and check here to see if your home is located in a flood plain.
Review your home insurance policy and see what perils are covered and which are not. You may need to adjust your coverage in order to have full protection. Refer back to your policy and contact your agent if you ever have questions regarding your coverage.
