Andrew Ference earned himself a hearing Thursday afternoon with the NHL discipline office to discuss his elbow to the head of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at TD Garden Wednesday.
Preposterous Bruins rumors stretch as far as Edmonton
You don't have to live within the Bay State to cook up some ridiculous ideas for Bruins trade rumors as the April 3 trade deadline approaches in the NHL.
As far as Edmonton, people are throwing crazy ideas at the wall for general manager Peter Chiarelli to either consider or laugh about.
'11-12 Bruins Season in Review: Johnny Boychuk
There are benefits and risks to playing with Zdeno Chara, as Johnny Boychuk did for most of the 2011-12 regular season (as he did the prior season too).
On the one hand, you're playing with the best defenseman in the NHL and you know you always have someone to cover up your mistakes. But on the other hand, if you play poorly and force Chara to have to do too much, that can have ramifications throughout the entire Bruins lineup.
Bruins AM skate: Boychuk probable, Seidenberg on Ovie: "he's a tank"
BOSTON — The Bruins' morning skate today provided Johnny Boychuk with a chance to skate in a practice setting for a fourth straight day in his attempt to return from a sprained knee. So although head coach Claude Julien wouldn't give a definitive answer this morning on his lineup for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with Washington, it's fairly certain Boychuk will play.
Positive strides for Boychuk, Rask at Bruins practice
WILMINGTON, Mass. — Tuukka Rask's first practice with the Bruins' full squad since his March 3 abdominal injury went so well today that he was able to measure his health in hockey terms instead of medical jargon.
"Pretty much I did everything. I didn't let in too many goals either," Rask said after the team was done with its 45-minute session. "So I'm more worried about stopping those pucks than doing all kinds of stuff. But it was a good day."
Rask and defenseman Johnny Boychuk, who's returning from a sprained knee. both skated with strength and conditioning coach John Whitesides before practice and then stayed on for the full session. Boychuk took a regular shift paired with Andrew Ference.
"I feel pretty good, so I'll take it day by day," said Boychuk, who noted that he got on the ice Sunday too but felt sore when he skated.
Head coach Claude Julien said that he's still confident Boychuk will be available for Thursday's Game 1 against Washington, but that Rask might be a little further off.
•Julien said that defenseman Adam McQuaid, who did not practice, is "up in the air" in terms of his injury status. Proving that he's in full-on playoff mode, Julien wouldn't elaborate on the nature of the injury and just called it "upper-body."
•Defenseman Greg Zanon shaved his mustache to get a fresh start for the playoffs.
Bruins off day: Chiarelli says Horton a long shot, Boychuk & McQuaid day to day
The Bruins players had today off and the coaching staff is probably holed up somewhere dissecting video of Alexander Ovechkin, Mike Green and even Dennis Wideman.
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli, however, took some time out of his Easter Sunday to chat with the media on a conference call. During the call he was asked about the potential for a Nathan Horton return to the lineup.
Bruins pregame: McQuaid, Boychuk to miss Sabres, Rask still progressing
BOSTON — Adam McQuaid and Johnny Boychuk will both be scratched today against Buffalo because of a head injury and a knee injury, respectively.
While head coach Claude Julien said he sees no reason why Boychuk would not be ready to start the playoffs with Boston next week, there are no similar assurances about McQuaid because of the type of injury the blueliner is battling.
'Mild' knee sprain for Bruins' Boychuk
Bruins head coach Claude Julien said today that defenseman Johnny Boychuk has been diagnosed with a "mild" knee sprain. The coach classified Boychuk as "day-to-day."
Boychuk was injured in a collision with Pittsburgh forward Arron Asham in the third period of the Boston loss at TD Garden Tuesday night. Boychuk is not with the team in Ottawa, where the Bruins will face the Senators tonight.
No Chara, Bergeron, Thomas or Boychuk for Bruins vs. Senators
WILMINGTON, Mass. — Fans in Ottawa might be disappointed they'll have to wait another week to see some of the Bruins' biggest stars.
Bruins practice: Horton, Rask skate; Boychuk doesn't
WILMINGTON, Mass. — Prior to today's practice at Ristuccia Arena, Bruins forward Nathan Horton skated with Bruins strength and conditioning coach John Whitesides.
Goaltender Tuukka Rask was also on the ice.
Pittsburgh 5, Bruins 3: Boychuk injured, Krug gets in lineup
BOSTON — Playing in the first of three games that are basically glorified exhibitions because of their locked-in status as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, the last thing the Bruins wanted to happen tonight against Pittsburgh was an injury to a key player.
Well, their worst nightmare became reality when Johnny Boychuk went down to the ice after a collision with Penguins forward Arron Asham 6:45 into the third period of Pittsburgh's 5-3 win at TD Garden.
Boychuk's perseverance rewarded with Bruins' Masterton nomination
WILMINGTON, Mass. — Johnny Boychuk is one of the Bruins' most physical players.
His open-ice hits can turn the momentum of a game, and he's seemingly mastered the hip check so well that no opposing puck-carrier can take his eyes off Boychuk when approaching Boston's blue line.
No extra discipline for Pens' Malkin after hit on Bruins' Boychuk
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Penguins star forward Evgeni Malkin will not face any addition discipline for his hit from behind on Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk Sunday.
Malkin was assessed a two-minute minor for boarding on the play.
Bruins earn back-to-back wins behind Boychuk's blast
BOSTON — Defending Stanley Cup champions aren't supposed to have such low expectations.
But when you've failed to win two games in a row 10 games, it's the little things that matter most.
Zanon set to make Bruins debut against New Jersey tonight
BOSTON — The Bruins, who debuted two new players Tuesday in their loss to Ottawa, will replace one of those new faces with another newcomer tonight against New Jersey at the TD Garden.
Head coach Claude Julien confirmed that Greg Zanon will be in and Mike Mottau will be the healthy scratch on Boston's back end.

ARCADIA, Calif., (April 1, 2009) – Prussian, making his West Coast debut, mowed down his competition Wednesday in Santa Anita's $56,508 Midnight Rambler Purse to give trainer Mike Mitchell his third consecutive victory and a one-win lead over John Sadler in the meet's trainers' race with three weeks remaining.
With Rafael Bejarano aboard, Prussian closed swiftly to defeat Headache by 1 ¼ lengths in the optional claiming event contested at 6 ½ furlongs over the track's downhill turf course. The winning time was 1:12.26.
Headache, ridden by Julien Couton, finished one length ahead of third-place Quick Enough, with Jose Valdivia Jr. aboard, in the field of 10.
Mitchell, who won last year's Santa Anita training title with 33 victories, reached that figure with Prussian after taking the two previous races with heavy favorites Dadsalittleunusual and Big Wave Rider.
A 4-year-old son of Danzig, Prussian wasn't quite as well fancied as Mitchell's previous two winners while sent off at odds of 2-1. He returned $6, $3.80 and $3. Headache paid $7.20 and $3.80. The show price on Quick Enough was $3.20.
The Midnight Rambler marked the first start in Mitchell's care for Prussian, who had not raced since last Aug. 23 at Saratoga while trained by Bill Mott.
After winning his first two starts in 2007 including the Group III Summer Stakes at Woodbine Racecourse in Canada, Prussian had raced six times without a victory. However, he was second three times including a runner-up effort behind Gio Ponte in last June's Grade III Hill Prince Stakes at Belmont Park.
With Wednesday's winning purse of $31,800, Prussian's earnings were elevated to $274,529 from a 3-3-0 record in nine career starts.
Racing continues on Thursday at Santa Anita with an eight-race card that begins at 1 p.m.

ING Programs Motivate Greater Retirement Savings; Receive Industry Awards for Helping Participants
Effective strategies focus on communication, education and personalization; Eddy Awards and DALBAR seal among recognitions
In an effort to help Americans become better prepared for retirement, ING's Retirement division works closely with its clients on programs that motivate employees to save more into their defined contribution retirement plans. Specifically, these strategies are designed to increase plan enrollments, encourage greater contribution rates and provide participants with the advice, guidance and planning resources they need to successfully save.
While ING serves all types of defined contribution customers, many of ING's participant-focused strategies begin in the institutional, or large, corporate market. Employers in this segment typically have longer histories with their 401(k) plans, as well as the size, scale and resources to implement programs that set future trends for the industry.
"The success of our voluntary retirement system depends on Americans taking ownership of their savings and actively contributing to their workplace plans," said Rick Mason, president of Corporate Markets for ING Retirement Services. "Much of the innovation and progress made to encourage employees to save more occurs in the institutional market, in collaboration with our largest customers. The insights and best practices we gain from this work are then shared across broader employer groups, in an effort to positively impact the greatest number of participants."
"For example, in order to encourage positive saving behaviors, many large companies are integrating innovative media and new techniques for delivering targeted messages into their communication and education campaigns," noted Wayne Finnegan, head of the Institutional Corporate Markets for ING Retirement Services. "As we continue to experience positive actions by plan participants, we expect more sponsors will follow this approach."
Communication and Education Programs Earn Results and Industry Recognition
At the heart of ING's large corporate service model is a commitment to providing best-in-class communication and education campaigns. For many 401(k) sponsors, this work is an ongoing effort throughout the entire plan year.
During 2010 alone, ING created more than 2,000 separate communication programs for its large plan customers to increase employee participation and contribution rates, and drive positive savings behaviors — particularly among low wage earners. One area of success has been with campaigns aimed at increasing paycheck deferral amounts. For programs conducted in 2010, the rate at which participants responded and took positive action to increase their deferrals reached as high as 34%.
Another proof point has been the recognition ING regularly receives for print and online communications and education. Earlier this year, ING and eight of its institutional plan sponsors were honored with nine Pensions & Investments 2011 Eddy Awards. The Eddy Awards, which have been presented annually by Pensions & Investments magazine since 1995, recognize plan sponsors and service providers that epitomize best practices in offering investment education to defined contribution plan participants. Winning ING customer campaigns included those with Nestlé USA, Inc., UPS, Hanesbrands Inc., DIRECTV, PPG Industries and SUPERVALU Inc. The breadth of categories ranged from fee disclosure to ongoing participant education and plan conversions.
Most recently, the customer website serving many of ING's institutional plan participants, which was enhanced last year with new tools and multimedia education, was awarded the DALBAR Communications Seal. This honor is given for written and electronic communications that achieve excellence in serving the needs of customers.
Personalization a Key to Success
Creating micro-websites with personalized messages for employees, or "PURLs," is another innovative way ING has been supporting its institutional corporate customers. Working with sponsors, ING has reached out to more than 80,000 plan participants with PURL concepts, and it views the large market as a valuable testing ground given the number of employees that can be targeted within each plan.
As an example, ING developed a PURL for the employees of one large client who stopped contributing to their company plan. Of this group, 13% restarted their contributions as a result of the personalized communication strategy. For another large organization, ING targeted a message that focused on the employer's matching contribution. Those participating below the match level responded at a rate of 23% by taking positive action to improve their deferral amounts.
To experience a sample PURL, go to http://samsample.ingpurldemo.com.
Another aspect of personalization involves delivering retirement support and guidance in the way that individuals prefer to receive it. This includes ING's in-plan advisory services and managed accounts program, which sponsors can leverage to help employees increase deferrals and improve their investment diversification and planning.
As part of this service, employees receive personal evaluations that explain their retirement preparedness in terms of savings rates, portfolio diversification and potential for retirement income. The goal is to encourage investors to find more structured financial help when they need it. Recently, ING has seen a significant increase in interest and adoption by sponsors and participants. Today, two-thirds of ING's large market clients are offering some form of advice programs and participant assets covered by such programs at the end of 2010 were 300% greater than the prior year.
"Personalized messaging and support is a critical component of our delivery model to large corporate customers," added Finnegan. "Through this multi-faceted approach, we're working to meet our shared goals and overcome the barriers to successful saving. While significant progress has been made on this front, we realize much more must be done."
ING's Retirement business holds top rankings in the defined contribution industry with more than $300 billion in combined assets under management and administration. It is one of the few providers that serves all types and sizes of customers, including corporate, government, healthcare, K-12 and higher education employers.

SALEM, N.H. — A man was left unconscious after an altercation at The Mall at Rockingham Park yesterday morning as hundreds of people waited in line for release of the latest iPhone.
Two other people in line were arrested on unrelated charges, according to Salem Deputy police Chief Shawn Patten.
The unidentified man was found lying in brush outside the mall about 6:45 a.m. as people waited for it to open at 8 a.m., he said.
The man, who apparently had been assaulted, remained unconscious as he was placed in an ambulance and taken to a local hospital, Patten said. He later woke up and was treated and released, Patten said.
None of the hundreds of people in line admitted to witnessing the assault, which remains under investigation, he said.
Police responded to the mall several times overnight to control the crowd, Patten said. Shoppers started lining up about midnight, he said.
A man and woman from Peabody, Mass., were arrested on trespassing charges after they became unruly, Patten said.
They were identified as Mark Young, 24, and Jennifer Young, 22. Jennifer Young was also charged with possession of marijuana, Patten said.
Both were released on $1,000 personal recognizance pending their arraignment in 10th Circuit Court.

Counterfeit Nintendo games seller estimated to have made about £600,000 (From Croydon Guardian)

Counterfeit Nintendo games seller Justin Success Brooks estimated to have made about £600,000
8:40am Friday 19th October 2012 in News By Hannah Williamson, Chief Reporter
A man who cheated video game makers Nintendo out of approximately $12m (£7.46m) by selling unlicensed games online is facing jail.
Justin Success Brooks of Foxley Lane, Purley, sold thousands of counterfeit, unauthorised cartridges of popular games such as Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, for the Nintendo Wii, DS and DSi consoles.
The 41-year-old, who sold the illegal games online between 2009 and 2011, pleaded guilty to seven counts of fraud when he appeared at Croydon Crown Court last Friday.
It is estimated Brooks made in the region of £600,000 from the online sales.
An original game from a reputable retailer is priced between £30 and £40, but test purchases and web pages of Brooks' business showed he was supplying the cartridges, each of which contained up to 200 games on them, for between £39.95 and £89.95.
Brooks was caught after Nintendo raised concerns an online retailer was selling and distributing Nintendo products.
The video game company and the United Kingdom Interactive Entertainment association (UKIE) undertook purchases from a number of websites, and their investigation led them to Brooks.
He is charged with two counts of fraudulent trading, two counts of supplying an article to use in fraud, two counts of unauthorised possession of goods bearing a trademark and one count of unauthorised use of a trademark.
Judge Shani Barnes, granted unconditional bail pending a pre-sentence report, but told him: "This is clearly a serious matter and this is not giving any promise of anything other than custody if that is what the sentencing judge decides."
Brooks will be sentenced at Croydon Crown Court on November 9.

text: Good luck getting bar service during Happy Hour. The staffing at the bars involved was ludicrous with usually one person waiting on a room full of patrons. The food was mediocre at best. We had a great meal at the Murano restaurant but had to pay extra. We were traveling with friends and were told that we could be together on the tour we taking on the last day even though our friends had an airport drop off and we we were staying an additional night and had a hotel drop off. Wrong information again. As we boarded our bus we were told that of the two buses going on this tour one would be going directly to the airport without stopping at the hotels and the other would only be going to do hotel drop offs only. Double wrong answer this time as both buses did hotel stops as well as airport stops. There's more but I think I've made my point. It's been 5 or 6 years since our last cruise and I felt this time I was being nickeled and dimmed to death where I didn't feel that way before. The misinformation was palpable, the food poor, and the ports were boring.

In 2011 the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a training manual for asylum officers titled "Guidance for adjudicating lesbian, gay, bisexual,transgender, and intersex (lgbti) refugee and asylum claims."
In addition to training officers how to recognize and avoid bias, the manual also includes a very important section that provides possible reasons to explain a delay in the application for asylum. These reasons include: 1. Recently coming out as LGBTI; 2. Recent steps to transition from birth gender to corrected gender; 3. Recent HIV diagnosis; 4. Post-traumatic stress disorder; 5. Severe family opposition to an applicants identity.These provide possible exceptions to the rule that requires applicants to file for asylum within the first year since the last entry in the U.S.
As a psychologist and psychiatrist, we both volunteer to provide mental health expert testimony for asylum seekers and have found these new guidelines a great help when explaining to asylum officers and immigration judges the psychological challenges that LGBTI asylum seekers face.
As part of our work we have developed a measure to help document the many changes that LGBTI asylum seekers may experience in their sexual orientation and gender identity.
Because many LGBTI persons who have just fled persecution may require time to come out and integrate their sexuality with the rest of their lives, we have found it helpful to shift the argument in court away from a focus on any particular aspect of sexual orientation and gender identity to a broad picture that documents shifts over time of sexual behavior, falling in love, relationships, identity, disclosure to LGBTI persons and disclosure to heterosexual persons. This way the adjudicator gets to see the bigger picture of an LGBTI applicant. We are able to refocus the discussion in court to the difficulties that LGBTI persons have in being safe enough to be who they are as LGBTI, their identities, and away from the intrusive and sometimes homophobic questions of whether someone is really LGBTI. In the U.S. an LGBTI asylum seekers needs to argue that they belong to a "particular social group" (the language of the asylum law)--this measure can help support that there are many aspects and ways of being LGBTI, so that some asylum adjudicators can get beyond their, possibly, narrow interpretation of what it means to be LGBTI.
The new measure can be downloaded here as a pdf. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions about improving it by emailing the Research Institute Without Walls (RIWW) at email@example.com.

Inspired by Bunny Hunter, Rarity tracks how many chances you've had to obtain various rare items throughout the game, and tells you how lucky (or unlucky) you are. It will tell you how likely you are to obtain the item, track how long you've been farming for it, etc. This is primarily useful for farming companion/battle pets and mounts, but it also supports virtually any item including patterns and designs, archaeology projects, etc.
Rarity tracks an exhaustive list of every mount and companion/battle pet in the entire game (at least those that require significant farming to obtain). Items can be filtered by expansion and type. Rarity factors in the size of a typical group when determining probabilities, and can even tell you if you've killed certain world bosses!
Farming a huge collection of bones for the Bone-White Primal Raptor? Rarity will show you your progress.
- Provides an LDB feed, tooltips, and progress bar, allowing you to track items of your choice
Tracks every kind of item you can imagine:
- Supports zone-wide drops (like Hyacinth Macaw)
- Supports containers (like White Polar Bear)
- Supports two-level loots (like Disgusting Oozeling)
- Supports archaeology projects (like Scepter of Azj'Aqir)
- Supports fishing (like Sea Turtle)
- Supports item usage (like Mojo)
- Supports items dropped from bosses that require a group to defeat
- Supports items obtained from holiday boss bags (like Big Love Rocket)
- Supports items looted from world containers (like Bonkers)
- Supports collections of things (like Reins of the Bone-White Primal Raptor)
- Supports some special cases (like Elementium Geode, Mysterious Camel Figurine)
- Supports things other than pets and mounts (like Skyshard, Primal Egg, recipes, legendary components)
- Supports bonus coin rolls (like Mogu Rune of Fate)
Other features:
- Fully user configurable—you can add your own items to track
- Adds to game tooltips, showing you when something you're looking at is the source of something that Rarity tracks
- Lets you modify your kill count without having to edit saved variables
- Shows an "achievement" alert when you obtain the item
- Uses boss kill statistics whenever possible to keep track of attempts
- Can report your progress to various channels or in whispers
- Tracks how long you've been farming this session, day, week, and month
- Supports tracking two items at the same time
- Tells you if you've defeated world bosses this week
- Automatically imports data from Bunny Hunter
You should also install
- Rarity works best with an LDB display like Fortress, Button Bin, or Titan Panel. If you don't have a display, turn on Rarity's minimap icon. There are lots of displays available—if you don't like one, try another!
- AddonLoader is highly recommended. This will let you keep the configuration UI unloaded until you need it.
- Collectinator is a good companion add-on to Rarity. It will show you where to obtain everything that Rarity tracks.
- Archy is recommended to replace the default Archaeology UI, which Rarity has been known to cause problems with.

ok so i understand that rarity doesn't track kills before download but are there any addons out there that can do this? or would something like that be even possible? also is there anyway to back up the data in case of a crash and your UI gets reset (this happened to my twice since last post)? i mean i get the personal counts getting reset? but isnt there any way to backup the attempts you made with rarity installed and running without having to update your record weekly?

I have added Rarity. Tested in world enviroment. I have no problems with Whelpings in Wetlands, Mr Pinchy, Hyacinth Macaw.
My question - for heroic dungeons for Reins of the Raven Lord & Swift White Hawkstrider mount drops - Rarity is not picking this up. Is supposed to be grouped or solo'ed.
I am doing something wrong?
Thanks for your time! :)

Thanks for your reply.
It would seem then that I either cannot find the 'global disable' or it isnt working for me.
Am I right that the global to disable option is under 'General -> Announcements -> Output ->' and if none are checked I should not have any annoucements?
Pseudopath Jan 05, 2013 at 22:51 UTC - 0 likes
Thanks for creating/maintaining this addon.
A request; would you please implement an option to enable/disable the 'announcement'; I prefer a more passive option that I can decide to enable visible updates for? Thanks.

The Lebanon Reporter
Nona Fay (Tinsley) Van Dusen, 69, of Thorntown, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, June 23, 2013.
Nona was born March 9, 1944, in Swifton, Ark., to Virginia Tinsley and the now late Taylor Tinsley. Reared and educated in Arkansas, she was the salutatorian of her high school class.
She was married to James William "Jim" Van Dusen, and he survives.
Nona worked for 22 years at Waste Management.
A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Nona loved every minute with her family. She was an avid gardener and loved to grow flowers. She also enjoyed riding motorcycles and watching NASCAR races.
Nona was a member of the Dover Christian Church.
Survivors include her husband, Jim Van Dusen of Thorntown; her mother, Virginia Tinsley of Hoxie, Ark.; two children, Deborah Gardner of North Hollywood, Calif., and Jim (Tricia) Van Dusen Jr. of Frankfort; three sisters, Pat Tinsley, Mary Hawkins and Margie Starling, all of Hoxie; brother, Roger Tinsley of Walnut Ridge, Ark.; grandson, Brandon Van Dusen of Frankfort; and great-grandson, Bentley Van Dusen.
Nona was preceded in death by her father, Taylor Tinsley.
Visitation was held Tuesday in Hoxie. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. today, June 26, at the Bryan Funeral Home, 415 N. West St., in Hoxie. Interment will follow at Lawrence Memorial Cemetery in Hoxie.
Myers Mortuary, 1502 N. Lebanon St., Lebanon, is handling local arrangements.

Athletic Bilbao came into their match against Villarreal with a number of fatigued players and players with nagging injuries, and elected to rest some of their stars. They were made to pay for it by the Yellow Submarine, who have only lost once at El Madrigal this season despite their 17th position in the league table. They put in a solid performance in a 2-2 draw that neither team will be terribly disappointed with.
Marcos Senna opened the scoring and sent his team into the halftime break up 1-0 with a spectacular direct free kick in the 10th minute. Just before the break, striker Marco Ruben had to come out injured and was replaced by Nilmar, who would eventually have a big impact.
Down 1-0 at halftime, Marcelo Bielsa elected to sub in his rested star, Fernando Llorente. He missed an absolute sitter in the 53rd minute, but made up for it in the 62nd when he scored Athletic's equalizer. Four minutes later, Markel Susaeta put Les Leones ahead, giving them a fortunate lead after what was a poor first half from the visitors. Diego Lopez should have stopped the shot easily, but inexplicably let the ball go right by him.
Gorka Iriazoz matched Lopez on the other end with an absolute howler of his own, failing to handle a shot by Alejandro Martinuccio in the 68th minute. Nilmar was there to pounce on the rebound and netted the equalizer, snatching a valuable point and taking two away from Bilbao.
For more on the two teams, head over to Villarreal USA and The Offside Athletic Bilbao.

This new 8th Edition of "New Venture Creation: Entrepreneurship for the 21st Century," is a significant update from the 7th edition, yet it still maintains the market defining "Timmons Model of the Entrepreneurial Process." Teaching one of the first entrepreneurship courses, pioneers Timmons and Spinelli remain leaders in their field by introducing and incorporating new concepts as the world of entrepreneurship evolves. As always Timmons and Spinelli cover the process of getting a new venture started, growing the venture, and successfully harvesting it. Through text, case studies, and hands-on exercises, this how-to text prepares students with the knowledge, concepts, and tools that entrepreneurs need to know-before taking the startup plunge, during, and after-if they are to get the odds in their favor. The 8th addition contains the latest updates, including examples of entrepreneurs in action, coping with the post-Internet bubble era and the mortgage loan crisis in 2007.

Freeman Hospital receives a grant to help develop the Southwest Missouri Breastfeeding Coalition to educate women on the benefits of putting down the baby bottle. The new coalition is a joint effort with Mercy Hospital and the City of Joplin, and hopes to raise breastfeeding rates over the next three years.
New mom Stephanie Nixon always felt that breastfeeding her son Dalton was the natural thing to do, but that didn't stop her from looking at other options.
"I did some research and formula babies are more likely to be overweight, more likely to have long term health issues than breast fed babies and that just reinforced my decision that I wanted to breast feed anyway," says Nixon.
Breastfeeding levels in Missouri are lower than the national average and that's why Freeman thought it was important to have vital information available for moms-to-be.
"A lot of it is just education," says Project Coordinator Cathy Brown. "Breastfeeding isn't seen as a norm. A lot of women see it as an additional way to feed a child but not the normal way to feed a child."
Breast milk awareness is becoming a national trend. New York City's mayor has even suggested putting formula under lock and key to prevent new mothers from using it.
But lactation specialist Dee Alejandro says that's not necessary.
"Wince the nurses don't give formula unless it's ordered, or unless mom asks for it, I really don't think there is a need to lock it up," says Alejandro.
According to the hospital newborns should be solely breast feed for the first six months of life.
Breast Feeding Awareness month starts August 1. Supporters across the nation will use the month to educate the public about the benefits of breast milk, even if takes some getting used to.

The 180-room Westin Verasa looks more like an upscale boutique hotel than major chain. From the comfy beds to the sleek furniture and artwork, to the unique bocce ball court outside, everything feels modern and trendy. Right in the heart of downtown Napa, the hotels' rooms offer impressive views of the Napa River and city -- and a spacious outdoor patio and pool with private cabanas make it a nice place to kick back. Guests checking in with kids might want to request a larger Deluxe room or Suite for even more space.
Located right on the banks of the Napa River, the Milliken Creek Inn is one of the swankier hotel options in Napa. The luxury inn does have limited amenities (no restaurant, for example), but all 12 rooms are supreme, from the four-poster canopy beds, to the working fireplaces, to the 42-inch plasma TVs, to the stunning views. This is a great pick for a couple looking for romance -- you'll return to your room in the evening to lit tea candles and soft music, and you can opt to have free breakfast served every morning in bed, on your patio, or anywhere on the grounds. There is no fitness center, but guests receive free passes to a high-end wellness center two miles down the road. There is an amazing full-service spa on-site that makes this tranquil, secluded retreat even more relaxing.
The luxury Carneros Inn is geared toward high-budget travelers -- it's pricey -- but guests who can afford it will find a sort of homey elegance here. Hillside Adirondack chairs overlook the vineyard. Crackling fireplaces warm every room. Private gardens and tree-lined infinity pools invite guests to relax. The entire resort feels like it's set on a farm, with cottages strewn about that house some of the guest rooms. The rooms are very comfy, with private decks and stone patios surrounded by overgrown greens and a fire pit. They also have outdoor tubs and showers, which is a cool feature. The open bathrooms inside are huge, with walk-in showers and a soaking tub. The property has three restaurants, one of which overlooks the vineyard, a bright and airy yoga studio, a fitness center, a hair salon, and a grocery store called The Market at Town Square.
The Inn on Randolph is a newly remodeled, gabled property dating to the late 19th century on a residential tree-lined street, walking distance from downtown Napa. The inn consists of a mix of buildings, including the main historic house, which contains a handful of rooms, and a small number of stand-alone private cottages. The lovely rooms are airy and luxurious with soft neutral tones; some have fireplaces and terraces. There is an excellent gourmet breakfast and peaceful shaded gardens with Adirondack chairs for sipping wine in the evenings. Service is consistently praised; the innkeeper can help make arrangements for wine tours and restaurant reservations.
This luxurious 158-room property, which saw a $40 million expansion in 2012, has everything the quaint Wine Country boutique hotels offer, but at a larger scale thanks to a long list of outstanding extras that make the stay ultra-convenient. Despite not being in the most attractive part of Napa Valley, the resort manages to make you see past that with large, elegant rooms featuring classic decor, plush beds and modern amenities, and a long list of great freebies (an evening shuttle to Napa, Wi-Fi, and parking -- all included in the inexpensive resort fee). The upscale 22,000 square-foot spa, the intimate wine tasting room, the beautiful on-site vineyards, and the solid farm-to-table restaurant make it possible for guests to have a real Wine Country experience without leaving the property.
Most guests equate the 22-room Best Western to more of a cozy bed and breakfast than a mid-range chain. Perhaps it's due to the personal touches -- such as the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, milk, and apple cider served in the lobby every afternoon. The hotel capitalizes on its homey feel -- some rooms offer fireplaces, terraces (though overlooking a parking lot or street), or Jacuzzis , and the furniture and decor is quaint, if not high-quality. The place does lack some facilities that other mid-range hotels have -- there is no pool (just a Jacuzzi), fitness center, or restaurant. It's a mile from downtown Napa, within a 20-minute walk of its restaurants and shops, but overall there isn't much to rave about -- the quality of experience is still that of a Best Western.
The Embassy Suites in Napa does not look like your typical chain hotel upon arrival. It strives to emulate the Napa Valley vibe with manicured, sprawling grounds, a palm tree-lined, villa-like facade, and warm decor in the 2012-renovated suites. The juxtaposition of patterned rugs and patterned walls in these suites may have missed the mark (they feel a bit busy to some), but the decor is fresh and all suites feature separate living rooms, wet bars, mini-fridges, and microwaves. Families will enjoy the two nice pools -- the indoor pool is large and the outdoor pool is in a quiet courtyard, surrounded by the hotel (similar chain hotels often feature roadside pools), but the fitness center is a drive away.
Located within the Historic Napa Mill, in the heart of downtown, the Napa River Inn is one of the most convenient properties for those who want to be within walking distance to great shopping, excellent dining and entertainment, and wine tasting rooms. There are a bunch of renowned restaurants, as well as a few shops, an acclaimed jazz club and a day spa within the complex. But room quality varies, depending mostly on the building the room is in, and not all have the same high-tech amenities-- while the rooms in the Hatt Building feel high-end and romantic, those in Embarcadero and Plaza buildings feel more mid-range (but are still cozy and have wonderful beds).
The Chablis Inn is basically a simple two-level mid-range motor lodge with no frills. The rooms are big and comfortable enough, but you have to put up with old fixings like tube TVs and old-school alarm clocks. While it does have a (tiny) pool, perks such as free Wi-Fi, and a pet-friendly policy, this place is probably better suited as a one-night stopover for wine country visitors than a long-term stay. It's close by to some great wineries, but the hotel itself isn't the type of environment where you'd sit outside with a couple of glasses of wine and relax.

Cowboys end regular season with win
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Feb. 21, 2013) Five Cowboys were victorious in their matches and the University of Wyoming wrestling team won a closely contested conference dual Thursday over the Air Force Academy, 17-16.
The 22nd-ranked Cowboys (9-6 overall, 4-1 Western Wrestling Conference) won their fifth-straight dual versus the Academy (10-4, 1-3 WWC), but had to fight off a scrappy Falcon squad until the last match. Despite losing, sophomore heavyweight Leland Pfeifer sealed the UW win when he gave up only a 12-6 decision with the Pokes leading 17-13 heading into the last match.
UW finished the regular season in second place in the WWC dual standings at 4-1, trailing North Dakota State, which went 5-0.
"I knew it would be really competitive and I knew there would be some toss-up matches," UW head coach Mark Branch said. "I was surprised how some matches went pleasantly on some and disappointed, obviously, on others."
Wyoming began the dual on a three-match winning streak, starting off with sophomore 125-pounder Tyler Cox winning his fourth match against a ranked opponent this season. Cox, ranked 19th, defeated AFA's Josh Martinez, ranked 11th, in a 13-4 major decision. Senior Kasey Garnhart then was victorious in his final dual, beating Dylan Hyder of Air Force in a 6-2 decision at 133.
Shortly after, Cowboy senior McCade Ford earned a takedown with just 36 seconds left in the match to win a 3-1 decision over Carter McElhany at 141.
"After winning the first three matchups, I really thought we were in the driver's seat (in terms of) how the dual would go," Branch said.
When Air Force responded with wins at the next three weights to tie it up at 10-all, senior L.J. Helbig went to work to earn a tough 7-4 decision at 174 pounds to give UW the narrow 13-10 lead. After a loss at 184, fourth-ranked senior Alfonso Hernandez completed an unbeaten dual season (13-0), winning a 14-4 major decision to give UW the 17-13 cushion heading into the final bout.
UW will begin the postseason March 9, when the Cowboys host the WWC Championships/NCAA West Regional in Laramie, Wyo.

MIAMI -- Jose Reyes has batted leadoff on Opening Day for four straight years. No Mets player had done so in the club's first 46 years. David Wright and Carlos Beltran are the only other current Mets to start on Opening Day in four successive seasons, but they have batted in different slots.
Wright is the first Mets player to start at third base in four straight Opening Day games since Howard Johnson started in six straight from 1985-1990. Johnson started at shortstop in 1991 and center field in 1992. ... Before Beltran, not since 1982-1985, when Mookie Wilson started, had a Mets center fielder started in four straight Opening Day games.
Luis Castillo is the sixth Opening Day second baseman in six seasons -- Roberto Alomar, Ricky Gutierrez, Kaz Matsui, Anderson Hernandez and Jose Valentin preceded Castillo. ... Ryan Church is the sixth Opening Day right fielder in six years, preceded by Jeromy Burnitz, Karim Garcia, Eric Valent, Xavier Nady and Shawn Green.
Johan Santana is the 20th Opening Day starting pitcher in Mets history, and the eighth left-handed pitcher. ... Willie Randolph is the fifth Mets manager in place for four straight Opening Day games. The other four were Gil Hodges, Joe Torre, Davey Johnson and Bobby Valentine.
