The New Jersey Devils don't stop winning in extra time, and that continues in a special teams-filled match, beating the Edmonton Oilers, 2-1, moving ahead of Colorado for the NHL's most overtime wins with 11. Johan Hedberg got the start for the Devils, and took care of 22 of 23 shots that he faced in Wednesday's match.
The Devils have given up the most shorthanded goals in the league, but they also lead the league in scoring the most shorthanded goals. They were able to score one more shorty as Kovalchuk recorded his first of two points on the night after stripping the puck from Jeff Petry and heading down the ice for a breakaway goal.
Ales Hemsky tied it up nine seconds into their fifth power play before the halfway point of the third period to send the game to overtime. However, New Jersey took advantage of a power play earned late before the end of regulation and scored at the 1:06 mark of the extra frame, courtesy of Zach Parise.
Edmonton started the season well, but has struggled mightily lately, as they are now 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. Most of that is due to missing their best offensive players, as the Oilers are without Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Whitney and Tom Gilbert Wednesday night -- all due to injury.

Measles is a childhood infection caused by a virus. Once quite common, measles can now be prevented with a vaccine. Signs and symptoms of measles include cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes, sore throat, fever and a red, blotchy skin rash.
Also called rubeola, measles can be serious and even fatal for small children. While death rates have been falling worldwide as more children receive the measles vaccine, the disease still kills several hundred thousand people a year, most under the age of 5.
By 2000, the measles vaccine had practically eliminated measles in the United States. But there has been a recent resurgence of the disease, as more people have chosen not to vaccinate their children.
Measles signs and symptoms appear seven to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Signs and symptoms of measles typically include:
The infection occurs in sequential stages over a period of two to three weeks.
When to see a doctor
Call your doctor if you think you or your child may have been exposed to measles, or if you or your child has a rash resembling measles. Review your family's immunization records with your doctor, especially before starting elementary school, before college and before international travel.
The cause of measles is a very contagious virus, which lives in the mucus in the nose and throat of an infected child or adult. That child or adult is contagious from four days before the rash appears to four days after.
When someone with measles coughs, sneezes or talks, infected droplets spray into the air, where other people can inhale them. The infected droplets may also land on a surface, where they remain active and contagious for several hours. You can contract the virus by putting your fingers in your mouth or nose or rubbing your eyes after touching the infected surface.
Complications of measles may include:
If you suspect that you or your child has measles, you need to see your child's doctor.
What you can do
For measles, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
What to expect from your doctor
The doctor may ask that you come in before or after office hours to reduce the risk of exposing others to the measles. In addition, if the doctor believes that you or your child has the measles, he or she must report those findings to the local health department.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
What you can do in the meantime
While you're waiting to the see the doctor, be sure that you or your child stays well-hydrated. Pediatric electrolyte solutions, such as Pedialyte, or sports drinks, such as Gatorade or Powerade, can help you stay hydrated and maintain your electrolyte balance.
If fever is making you or your child uncomfortable, medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), can help bring the fever down. But, don't give aspirin to children because of the risk of Reye's syndrome — a rare but potentially fatal disease.
Your doctor can usually diagnose measles based on the disease's characteristic rash as well as the small, bright red Koplik's spots on the inside lining of the cheek. If necessary, a blood test can confirm whether the rash is truly measles.
No treatment can get rid of an established measles infection. However, some measures can be taken to protect vulnerable individuals who have been exposed to the virus.
If you or your child has measles, keep in touch with your doctor as you monitor the progress of the disease, and watch for complications. Also try these comfort measures:
If someone in your household has measles, take these precautions to protect vulnerable family and friends:
Preventing new infections
If you've already had measles, your body has built up its immune system to fight the infection, and you can't get measles again. Most people born or living in the United States before 1957 are immune to measles, simply because they've already had it.
For everyone else, there's the measles vaccine, which is important for:

The new Prince of Cambridge was introduced to the world today.
The Duchess held her son first and the couple looked relaxed and smiled broadly as the world's media captured the moment.
The Royal baby's fingers clasped and unclasped in what looked almost like his first royal wave.
Speaking outside the hospital, William and Kate said they felt "very emotional".
ITV News' Royal Correspondent Tim Ewart reports:
Kate's first baby appearance invites Diana comparison
The Duchess of Cambridge looked radiant as she presented her son to the world in a pale blue polka dot dress reminiscent of the pattern worn by Princess Diana on the day she left hospital with Prince William.
Kate stepped out of the Lindo Wing wearing a bespoke piece by Jenny Packham, a couturier who has become something of a household name thanks to the Duchess.
Observers were quick to draw parallels with the outfit worn by William's late mother when she posed on the same doorstep with her first-born son in a green spotted dress.
But where Diana appeared nervous and bewildered by the attention, a glowing Kate smiled broadly and spoke assuredly as she introduced her child to the world's press and the hordes of cheering well-wishers.

Old 100
As these pages go to print, I notice that we have reached issue 147. The number 147 might not seem particularly noteworthy to the rest of the world, but I noticed it. You see, the first issue with my picture on page 3 was issue 48, and if you count by ones from the beginning of the issue 48 cycle to the end of the issue 147 cycle, you get to 100 issues. This number 100 is always good for a milestone moment in our base 10 universe. Celebrating a numeral is not so important on its own, but having these reasons to look back can provide some context for looking ahead into the future – or looking around at the present.
So many things were different back in the first year I wrote this column. The last version of the old Red Hat Linux (Red Hat 9) was just ending, giving way to a new Red Hat-inspired community distro known as "Fedora Core." A few for-profit desktop systems were trying to nail down the role of Linux for nongeeks, including Xandros and Lindows (later renamed Linspire), and they actually carried a price tag of around US$ 35 dollars before getting washed away by the all-free Ubuntu. SUSE Linux came in a light green shrink-wrapped box. Debian was a really big deal – we even had a column on Debian, and we provided close coverage of the Debian elections. (Actually, Debian is still a big deal; people just don't talk about it as much as they used to.) Solaris was going open source; the kernel developers lost access to the BitKeeper distributed version control system and started building their own open source tool, which they called Git.

Colorado sports figures accept Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS research, awareness
It started with Pete Frates.
The former captain of Boston College's baseball team had a shot at a career in the big leagues. But two years ago, after noticing that a fairly common injury he sustained in game wasn't healing, he learned he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease perhaps better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease that eventually leads to death.
Frates' career, his dream, his livelihood — they all ended, and he was faced with the fact that his life as he then knew it would quickly take a drastic turn. At 29, he is now unable to walk, move his arms, speak and sometimes even breathe.
So, in an effort to raise awareness and funds for ALS research, the Ice Bucket Challenge was born, asking participants to either accept the challenge and dump a bucket of ice water on their heads within 24 hours of being challenged and donate a small amount to someone's ALS charity or the ALS Association (the original asking donation was $10 to the ALS Association), or refuse the challenge and donate a bigger sum (originally $100 to the Association).
Frates first challenged his fellow Boston athletes, including some Red Sox players, who accepted and then challenged others to do it, leading to tens of thousands of people across the world joining the icy and wet challenge, including celebrities, politicians, CEOs, athletes, fans and even mascots. Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert F. Kennedy, accepted the challenge. As did Oprah Winfrey. And Steven Spielberg. And Bill Gates. And Justin Timberlake. And Jimmy Fallon. And the list goes on. (President Obama, however, declined, opting instead to donate a larger sum to research.)
Earlier this month, Frates himself took the challenge after previously passing on the challenge, saying "ice water and ALS are a bad mix." Seated in the middle of Fenway Park, alongside Red Sox manager John Farrell, third baseman Will Middlebrooks, his pregnant wife, Julie, and other family members, he was doused with the ice water.
The best part: Since July 29, the social media phenomenon that started here in the U.S. has since taken the world by storm and, through Aug. 16 has raised $11.4 million for ALS research, according to the ALS Association.
And past and present Colorado sports figures have joined the movement. Here's a roundup of the latest Rocky Mountain participants, as well as one who is not a Colorado athlete, but whose challenge was so epic we just had to include it: Read more…

Childhood schizophrenia is one of several types of schizophrenia, a chronic mental illness in which a person loses touch with reality (psychosis). Childhood schizophrenia is essentially the same as schizophrenia in adults, but it occurs early in life — sometimes even before the teen years — and has a profound impact on a child's behavior.
Childhood schizophrenia includes hallucinations; delusions; irrational behavior and thinking; and problems carrying out routine daily tasks, such as bathing. With childhood schizophrenia, the early age of onset presents special challenges for diagnosis, treatment, educational needs, and emotional and social development.
Identifying and starting treatment for childhood schizophrenia as early as possible may significantly improve your child's long-term outcome.
Early signs and symptoms
The earliest indications of childhood schizophrenia may include developmental problems, such as:
Some of these signs and symptoms are also common in children with pervasive developmental disorders, such as autism. In fact, ruling out these developmental disorders is one of the first steps in diagnosing childhood schizophrenia.
Later signs and symptoms
As children with schizophrenia age, more typical signs and symptoms of the disorder begin to appear, including:
Symptoms may be difficult to interpret
When childhood schizophrenia begins very early in life, symptoms may build up gradually. The early signs and symptoms may be so vague that you can't quite decide what's wrong, or you may attribute them to a developmental phase.
As time goes on, the symptoms may become more severe and more noticeable to family, friends and school officials. Eventually, your child may develop the symptoms of psychosis, including hallucinations, delusions and difficulty with organizing his or her thoughts. As thoughts become more disorganized, there's often a "break from reality." This phase of childhood schizophrenia is often the most distressing to children and their families and frequently results in hospitalization and treatment with medication.
When to see a doctor
It can be difficult to know how to handle vague behavioral changes in your child. You may be afraid of rushing to conclusions that may lead to stigmatizing labels. Yet, treatment at the first sign of a problem may help in the long run.
If you notice that your child has stopped meeting daily expectations, such as bathing or dressing, no longer wants to socialize, is slipping in academic performance, has violent or aggressive behavior, or has other signs and symptoms of a possible mental health disorder, seek medical advice. These general signs and symptoms don't necessarily mean a child has childhood schizophrenia. They could indicate simply a phase or another condition, such as depression, an anxiety disorder or a medical illness that requires other types of evaluation.
If your child has a change in thinking, such as developing hallucinations, disorganized thinking patterns or distortions in reality, seek medical care as soon as possible, as these symptoms should be addressed right away. Your child's teacher or other school personnel also may bring to your attention changes in your child's behavior.
It's not known what causes childhood schizophrenia, but it's thought that it develops in the same way as adult schizophrenia does. It's not clear why schizophrenia starts so early in life for some, though, and not others.
Childhood schizophrenia and other forms of schizophrenia are brain disorders. Genetics and environment likely both play a role in causing schizophrenia.
Problems with certain naturally occurring brain chemicals called neurotransmitters may contribute to childhood schizophrenia. Imaging studies show differences in the brain structure of people with schizophrenia, but the significance of these changes isn't clear.
Although the precise cause of schizophrenia isn't known, certain factors seem to increase the risk of developing or triggering schizophrenia, including:
Signs and symptoms of schizophrenia typically develop between the teenage years and the mid-30s. Early-onset schizophrenia occurs in children younger than age 17. Very early-onset schizophrenia occurs in children younger than age 13.
Left untreated, childhood schizophrenia can result in severe emotional, behavioral, health, and even legal and financial problems. Complications that childhood schizophrenia may cause or be associated with include:
You're likely to start by first having your child see his or her pediatrician or family doctor. In some cases when you call to set up an appointment, you may be referred immediately to a specialist, such as a pediatric psychiatrist or other mental health provider who specializes in child development.
In rare cases where safety is an issue, your child may require an emergency evaluation in the emergency room and possibly a hospital specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry.
What you can do
Being an active participant in your child's care is critical. Start by getting prepared for a scheduled medical or psychiatric appointment. Think about your child's needs and goals, and review your child's symptoms and medical history. Before the appointment:
Questions to ask
Write down a list of questions to ask. These questions may include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions anytime you don't understand something being discussed.
What to expect from your doctor
Your child's doctor is likely to ask you and your child a number of questions. Anticipating some of these questions will help make the discussion productive. Your doctor may ask:
If your doctor or mental health provider believes your child may have childhood schizophrenia or another mental illness, he or she typically runs a series of medical and psychological tests and exams. These can help pinpoint a diagnosis, rule out other problems that could be causing your child's symptoms and check for any related complications.
These exams and tests generally include:
Your child may be evaluated to check his or her ability to think and function at an age-appropriate level. Your doctor may also request to review school records. And your child may be asked to complete psychological questionnaires to help examine his or her mood, anxiety and possible psychotic symptoms.
A difficult and possibly long process
The path to diagnosing childhood schizophrenia can sometimes be long and challenging. In part, this is because so many other conditions can have similar symptoms, such as depression, bipolar disorder or substance abuse. Also, doctors often don't want to rush a diagnosis of such a serious condition. A child psychiatrist may want to monitor your child for six months or more.
During that time, your child's psychiatrist will monitor your child's behaviors, perceptions and thinking patterns. For example, the psychiatrist will want to know whether problems occur at home or at school, or whether they occur in all environments. In some cases, a psychiatrist may recommend starting treatment with medications even before an official diagnosis is made. This is especially important when symptoms of aggression or self-injury have occurred. Some of the medications can be very helpful in limiting these types of behavior and restoring a sense of normalcy to your child's behavior.
Diagnostic criteria for childhood schizophrenia
To be diagnosed with childhood schizophrenia, your child must meet certain symptom criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
The psychiatrist may first diagnose your child with a nonspecific psychotic disorder, rather than schizophrenia. As thinking and behavior patterns and symptoms become more clear over time, a diagnosis of schizophrenia may be made if the criteria are met.
Diagnostic criteria for childhood schizophrenia are generally the same as for adult schizophrenia and include:
Childhood schizophrenia is a chronic condition, lasting through adulthood. Because of this, schizophrenia in children requires lifelong treatment, even during periods when symptoms seem to have subsided. Treatment is similar for all types of schizophrenia, but is a particular challenge for children with schizophrenia.
Treatment teams
Childhood schizophrenia treatment is usually guided by a psychiatrist skilled in treating schizophrenia in children. But because the condition can affect so many areas of your child's life, other professionals may be on the treatment team too. The treatment team can help make sure that your child is getting all of the treatment he or she needs and that care is coordinated among all of his or her care providers.
The team involved in treatment of childhood schizophrenia may include your:
Main treatment options
The main treatments for childhood schizophrenia are:
Medications for childhood schizophrenia
Antipsychotic medications are at the heart of treatment for schizophrenia in children. Most of the medications used in children are the same as those used to treat adults with schizophrenia. While most of those medications haven't been specifically approved to treat children — mainly because they haven't been thoroughly tested in children — they can be used off-label in children. Off-label use is a common and legal practice of using a medication to treat a condition or age group not specifically listed on its prescribing label as an approved use.
Because of the possibility of serious side effects, make sure you understand all the pros and cons of antipsychotic medication use in children.
Second-generation antipsychotics (atypical antipsychotics)
A class of antipsychotic medications called atypical antipsychotic medications are usually tried first in children because they have fewer side effects. The Food and Drug Administration has approved only two second-generation antipsychotics to treat childhood schizophrenia in children ages 13 to 17:
Atypical antipsychotic medications are often effective at managing such symptoms as hallucinations, delusions, loss of motivation and lack of emotion. Serious side effects can include weight gain, diabetes and high cholesterol and, more rarely, movement disorders.
First-generation antipsychotics (conventional, or typical, antipsychotics)
These antipsychotic medications are usually equally as effective as second-generation antipsychotics in controlling delusions and hallucinations. Conventional antipsychotics, however, may have more serious neurological side effects. Risks include the possibility of developing a movement disorder (tardive dyskinesia) that causes involuntary movements of the face, tongue, limbs and hands. Although the conventional and atypical antipsychotics both share this risk, the conventional agents are more likely to result in movement disorders, especially if they are taken over a long period of time.
Typical antipsychotics, especially generic versions, are often cheaper than second-generation antipsychotics. However, their risk of serious side effects means they often aren't recommended for use in children until other options have been tried without success.
Medication side effects and risks
All antipsychotic medications have side effects and possible health risks, some life-threatening. Side effects in children and adolescents may not be the same as those in adults, and sometimes they may be more serious. Children, especially very young children, may not have the capacity to understand or communicate about medication problems.
Be sure to talk to your child's doctors about all of the possible side effects and about routine checks for health problems while he or she takes these medications. Also, be alert for problems in your child, and report side effects to the doctor as soon as possible. By spotting medication problems early, your child's doctor may be able to adjust the dosage or change medications and limit side effects. Your child's doctors also can help all of you learn to manage side effects appropriately.
Also, antipsychotic medications can have dangerous interactions with other substances. Tell your child's doctors about all medications and over-the-counter substances he or she takes, including vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements.
Psychotherapy for childhood schizophrenia
Although medications are a key childhood schizophrenia treatment, psychotherapy also is important. Psychotherapy may include:
Social and academic skills training for childhood schizophrenia
Training in social and academic skills is an important part of treatment for childhood schizophrenia. Children with schizophrenia often have troubled relationships and school problems. They may have difficulty carrying out normal daily tasks, such as bathing or dressing. Treatment plans that include skill-building in these areas can help your child function at age-appropriate levels when possible.
Hospitalization for childhood schizophrenia
During crisis periods or times of severe symptoms, hospitalization may be necessary. This can help ensure your child's safety and that of others, and make sure that he or she is getting proper nutrition, sleep and hygiene. Getting symptoms under control quickly is very important in childhood schizophrenia, and sometimes the hospital setting is the safest and best way to do this. Partial hospitalization and residential care also may be options, but symptoms are usually more stabilized before moving to these levels of care.
Childhood schizophrenia isn't an illness that you or your child can treat on your own. But you can do some things for your family and your child that will build on the professional treatment plan:
Coping with an illness as serious as childhood schizophrenia can be challenging. Medications can have unwanted side effects, and you, your child and your whole family may feel angry or resentful about having to manage a condition that requires lifelong treatment. Here are some ways to cope with childhood schizophrenia:
There's no sure way to prevent childhood schizophrenia. But evidence shows that some signs of schizophrenia may be present as early as infancy. Early identification and treatment may help get symptoms under control before serious complications develop. Avoiding treatment delays may help improve the long-term outlook. Early treatment is also crucial in helping limit psychotic episodes, which can be extremely frightening to a child and his or her parents.
Signs and symptoms during infancy or early childhood years that may warrant further evaluation include:
Getting early treatment — and sticking with it — can help reduce or prevent worsening schizophrenia symptoms.

Correction: Bloody Elbow has been informed that photos previously published in conjunction with this article were not, in fact, of the deceased. On behalf of Bloody Elbow I would like to apologize to the family of the deceased and to those men who were misidentified. - Zane Simon
Athletic competition is dangerous, a fact that is often glossed over by fans, athletes, promoters, and journalists. Many injuries come with the territory. Bumps, cuts and bruises are easily dismissed, and broken bones, unapparent to the casual observer. Incidents that bring to bear these dangers are thankfully rare, but no less tragic for their infrequency.
At about 9:30 PM on Saturday night 35-year-old Felix Pablo Elochukwu collapsed. He had just lost his fight at AFC's Unleash the Beast in Port Huron's American Legion. Medical personnel were unable to revive him, and an autopsy, performed Monday, was unable to determine cause of death. Police Lt. Duane Hoxton released the following statment to the Lansing State Journal:
Loxton said the fight was ended by a judge's ruling in the third round. The man had lost the fight, but he and his opponent were believed to be evenly matched. After the decision, the man told a trainer that he wasn't feeling well and later collapsed. A paramedic at the American Legion administered aid before emergency crews arrived.
On the surface it's easy to say that the most reasonable precautions were taken. A paramedic was on site, there was general agreement that the fighters were evenly matched, and emergency crews were called immediately. If nothing else the event should be lauded for making sure that these precautions were in place and that appropriate steps were followed, but this misses the heart of the issue.
Michigan is one of about 12 states in the country in which amateur MMA is legal, but entirely unregulated. In the months prior to this event the lack of regulation has been highlighted. Alanna Derkin explained in her article for the Associated press:
The lack of regulation means Michigan amateurs sometimes can't be protected from themselves. While the Association of Boxing Commissions keeps a database of fighters who have been suspended due to injury, a recent knockout or bad blood work, Michigan promoters aren't required to report to it.
"I know a guy who has been knocked out five times in the last year," said Gardner, the promoter. Someone getting knocked out that often "is a serious liability for the entire sport."
Essentially, fighters are competing with practically no medical oversight prior to their fights. Although this may not have protected the man who died Saturday, his death will no doubt highlight the incredible risks that such a lack of regulation allows. Even still, there is no positive to be gained from such a tragedy; the best we as fans, fighters, and media can ask is that Michigan and other states realize the danger that these athletes face without commission oversight.
Yet I don't want this to be a rail against dangers of MMA because such dangers lurk in all sports. Athletes become seriously injured while competing in any number of sports at every level of competition. Athletes, enthusiasts, and hobbyists participate in these activities out of passion and desire. Screening, rules, and regulatory processes are needed to protect them from risks that they may not even be aware they're taking. At such a juncture, pointing to these passions as the source of injury does little to prevent future incidents; the responsibility lies in proper governance.
The focus on Elochukwu and his participation in MMA should be remembrance of passions and loves, both in and out of sport. And his loss should give us pause to think about those things which we love and give our time to; even, potentially, our lives, in the hopes that we will grow and gain from our experiences.
UPDATE: Joe Ferraro provided the following details from the event in his article for SportsNet:
Sometime in the third round, Elochukwu was mounted and was not intelligently defending what were deemed to be soft hammer fists. The referee made the decision to halt the bout, potentially believing that Pablo was not going to be able to improve the position he was in.
Elochukwu appeared to be fine during the announcement of the final decision and walked away on his own accord, albeit, with some assistance to ensure the fatigued fighter could make it to a seat.
When he did sit down, those around him noticed something was wrong and offered him some orange juice, believing his blood sugar may have dropped significantly. He then fell off the chair, where paramedics were called in to assist.
They showed up within minutes and apparently revived him, but took him away to be safe, likely to the nearest hospital. Shortly thereafter, Elochukwu passed away, and it is currently unknown if he did so en route to the hospital, or at the medical facility.

By Jeff Harding
It isn't as if taking your money and giving it to other people to buy new cars doesn't create sales, it obviously did and I would expect that we'll see an upward tick in GDP for Q3 as a result.
Almost every investment house is revising upward their predictions on Q3 results. The Wall Street Journal's survey of economists now collectively predict GDP to be +2.4% in Q3. Corporate profits are one of indications that they point to: a 5.7% increase in Q2 over Q1. Also they point to increasing new home sales, rising durable goods sales-4.9% in July, and declining inventories. They also point to consumer spending increasing for the third straight month in July, up 0.2% almost all of which is attributable to Cash for Clunkers.
What the bulls tend to discount is that consumer spending is basically weak, household debt is still high, and home prices, the basis of most people's wealth, continue to decline. Deflationary forces are still at work in the economy and inhibit credit expansion through bank lending. Banks still are burdened with a high amount of overvalued assets on their books, and, as the previous article, Anatomy of a Deflation, pointed out, banks remain cautious, if not nervous, and they are reluctant to lend.
Banks are concerned about commercial real estate loans, rising mortgage defaults, and, because of falling asset values, the value of loans and asset backed securities on their books. While mark-to-market rules have been relaxed, thus allowing them to avoid being adequately capitalized, the banks all know that stated asset values of many loans and asset backed securities are a fiction. Since much of banking involves being able to rely on the solvency of other banks, this has restricted lending as well.
The point to all this being that there are still powerful forces at work that point to continued deleveraging, deflation, and tight credit that will put pressure on employment, and thus spending.
While declining housing inventories is a good sign, we are going through the next phase of the bust: the deleveraging of overvalued commercial real estate and personal debt such as auto and student loans. I believe we will still experience declining home prices for some months before it stabilizes.
The "bump" in GDP seems to be primarily due to Cash for Clunkers. This is a transitory effect that will not last. As I pointed out in Cash for Clunkers = Cash for Unions, these sales come at the expense of future sales. You can't create growth by taking money from one person and giving it to another to spend. You lose the economic benefit that the original person would have achieved with the money, and, when the second person runs out of money, the effect is gone. Thus the GDP numbers when they come out will be fake, a false indicator of economic activity.
I just saw where GM and Ford are ramping up production to meet expected higher demand in 2010. This is sad to see and a serious error on their part.
What a mess. You can thank John Maynard Keynes and almost all the economists in America who are his disciples.

Maybe I'm just looking at this with my eyes as someone who tends to focus on spending what little money they have travelling and climbing but suppose they were specifically posting just to get money to replace the items they lost and get the hell out of there. Why would that be so unreasonable?
I dare you to ask that question on Supertopo;)
I don't have an account there but am reading through the thread. Maybe I haven't gotten to the good part but it doesn't seem unreasonable to take as many avenues as possible to recover yourself to the point before the incident.
Basically their home was destroyed by angry villagers and they barely escaped with their life. And now they stand looking at the ruins in a foreign country. One of the only things left to think about is how to rebuild and that will take money.
Thanks Pat, agreed on all points. I guess that's it for their truck. Pity, that was one sweet camper. My vote for the best comment on this thread goes to CDC: 1. supertopo is an open sewer Amen.
I marvel at the bravado and insensitivity of the majority of the posts on this thread. I haven't even looked at SuperTopo yet but it boggles the mind to think that it can be worse than some of the vitriol I've read here. What is it about internet forums and comment sections of stories about people in need that brings out the ignorant, angry and sarcastic among us like sharks drawn out of the dark depths when a bucket of blood is thrown overboard? Don't you all have some other outlet for your loathing, like setting fire to your South Park action figures? For the record, their story has been carried by major news outlets in Peru, and Cusco's office on foreign trade and tourism has confirmed the incident based on reports from the Ocongate police station. For those of you who still think it's a scam to pay for their trip, they've sure cooked up an elaborate one.
So I read through the whole thing and one thing I do not get is why the whole village is pissed at them and abusing them fr hours? How did it go from a few thugs probably going to rob them to what sounds like everyone coming out and taking whacks at them? I lived in Guatemala for two years, which is one of the most dangerous (beats Mexico by a lot) countries there are, and backpacked through a lot of Latin america and Asia, and unless something major happened like accidently running over a kid who jumps out in front of my car at a bus stop (almost happened in Guate) I don't see why a whole village is going to go crazy over some young tourists. Actually the first thing I thought was the villagers were thinking they were there to pick a kid to steal, because rumors fly around those small latin american villages that gringos want to take(adopted) their kids.
Upon reading this post, I feel extremely surprised in the actions of the Peruvians. My girlfriend and I just traveled for four months through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, spending over a month in Peru. We stayed with locals, both indigenous people and non-indigenous and experienced only the friendliest of personalities. Some of these people went out on a limb to help us with even the most simple things. Sure it is a third world country, but a little common sense goes a long way. These three travelers did nothing out of the ordinary to me; they asked for permission to camp, tried to use their Spanish (which shows a lot of respect for the local people), and didn't trespass. I can't imaging what this group of villagers consisted of. It sounds like to me they were some kind of extremist group (I did read from a Peruvian news report that they were Zappitistas). Violence towards travelers is pretty rare down there (well much rarer then most people think would occur in S.A.). I'm pretty lost with this one. Their story sounds legitimate to me, they would have no reason to lie about this, but still I'm BAFFLED!

After a long off-season to chew on a disappointing end to a good season, the Alabama baseball team is eager to get started. The first game is Friday, February 14th at 6:05 p.m., beginning the last season in the old "Joe." 'Bama finished 35-28 last season, and the year ended with a 9-8 loss to Troy in the Tallahassee Regional. The Tide took an 8-5 lead into the bottom of the ninth, before surrendering four runs to end the season.
Several of the players mentioned the loss as motivation for this season:
Senior first baseman Austen Smith: "the season ending the way it did last year was not what we were expecting, but that has driven us to work that much harder so something like that want happen again."
Sophomore center fielder Georgie Salem: "last year was a miserable way to walk away from the season." Salem added that "the experience all of us young guys gathered last year, along with competitive summer ball seasons, will carry on into this season. Salem feels that all the positives, plus the memory of the disappointment will serve the team well going into this season. Salem also said, "we have done everything possible to make sure this season doesn't end the way last seasons did."
Junior right fielder Ben Moore: "we are very confident going into this weekend because of all the preparation we've put in this off-season. With the guys back from last year, and the new guys that are ready to contribute right away, we feel like we are capable of going a long way, and we are using the regional to motivate us for this year."
Sophomore pitcher Ray Castillo, a freshmen All-American last year as a closer: "our goal is to win a National Championship, but we are going to focus on taking the season one game at a time. Obviously last year didn't end the way we wanted it to, but the experience we gained will show this year." Castillo also said that "look for a well-rounded team with a productive offense and a team that will really compete everyday."
Freshmen All-American shortstop Mikey White: "we expect to be really good this year, and host a regional and go further in the post-season. We are using last year as motivation. We came together at the end of last year, but I feel we were looking ahead. This year we are going to be very talented and very driven in every game."
White's keystone partner, sophomore second baseman Kyle Overstreet: "the team to be really good this year, and that we can do some big things. We have put in a lot of work in this off-season, and even though last year's ending was tough, we have to put that behind us starting tomorrow, and start anew. We should have an older, more dominating pitching staff and a lineup with some power that will be able to put up some runs."
Pitcher Jake Hubbard: "the end of the season helped us all mature as players, and allowed us to learn from out mistakes."
Coach Mitch Gaspard: "we are looking forward to getting going, excited to see the new guys. We need to get out there and play together, relax and settle in quickly to have the type season we are expecting." Gaspard added that this weekend is "going to be a good test. Saint Louis is a good team, and should be a good test for us."
Gaspard plans on using this opening day lineup:
- Ryan Blanchard-sophomore- LF
- Georgie Salem-sophomore-CF
- Mikey White-sophomore-SS
- Ben Moore-junior-RF
- Wade Wass-junior-DH
- Kyle Overstreet-sophomore-2B
- Austen Smith-senior-1B
- Will Haynie-freshmen-C
- Chance Vincent-sophomore-3B
Junior right-hander Spencer Turnbull will get the start on the mound.
Gaspard added that ''if we get into a save situation we look to use (freshmen lefty) Thomas Burrows or Overstreet. "I would expect that (senior) Tucker Hawley will be our long guy over the weekend, and depending on the game, could finish the game out. We also want to use our other freshmen Nick Eicholtz and Geoffrey Bramblett, probably for one inning each during the weekend. We want them to get their feet wet and ease them into helping us." Gaspard also mentioned that sophomore Daniel Cucjen would get a start at third base on Saturday, and redshirt freshmen Matthew Goodson would DH on Saturday, with Wass catching. Junior left-hander Justin Kamplain will draw the starting assignment on Saturday and Castillo will start on Sunday.
Saint Louis had a very good year last year, finishing 41-21, including winning the Atlantic-10 regular season and tournament championships. The Billikens return Atlantic 10 player of the year Mike Vigliarolo, who hit .341 with eight home runs and 42 RBIs last year. Alec Sole, who hit .326 also returns, as well as Braxten Martinez (.314 with seven home runs), and Michael Bozarth who hit .302 on the season. Saint Louis drew 253 walks during the 2013 season. The team returns its top two pitchers Clay Smith (8-3, 3.77 ERA) and Nick Bates (8-4, 4.18 ERA), as well as closer Matt Eckelman who had a 6-1 record, four saves, and a sparkling 1.64 ERA in 49 innings. Saint Louis will start Smith, then James Norwood (0-2,4.72 ERA) on Saturday, and Josh Moore (1-2, 4.85 ERA) on Sunday.
'Bama is ranked 21st in several preseason polls and look to be a much improved squad. The offense should be much improved from last season's .259 team average. The Tide only hit 26 home runs last season, and this team should be able to reach 40-50 round-trippers this year.
The defense was a strength last year and should only get better. The double-play duo of White and Overstreet are unparalleled in college baseball, and Salem is as good as it gets in centerfield. The catching is in great hands with Wass and Haynie, who both have very strong arms, and are excellent backstops. Smith at first base makes the scoop play with ease. Moore has a strong and accurate arm in right field and can cover ground. Blanchard in left field has speed and a cannon for a right arm. When the other team hits the ball, this team will catch it.
There is a lot of reason for optimism for this season. The team has worked extremely hard and is confident in their ability. Look for a 40-plus win season, and possibly an at-home regional in the final season for the old, decrepit Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The mixture of veterans and youth have jelled together into a cohesive unit that has great chemistry.
This weekend the games are Friday at 6:05 p.m., Saturday at 2:05 p.m. and Sunday at 1:05 p.m. If you are close to Tuscaloosa, come on out. It should be a nice, almost springlike weekend, and you will be treated to some exciting baseball.
Bama Baseball Fever, Catch it!

Atlanta has been buzzing for months over the Falcons push for a new stadium, but many residents still aren't sold on the idea of helping to pay for a new $1 billion facility—even despite the team's success on the field. On Monday night, the public got the chance to ask questions about the proposal at a forum. The Falcons have called the Georgia Dome home for 20 years, but now they want a new place to play. The proposed stadium would have a retractable roof—and a hefty price tag. While the team would cover the bulk of the cost, and estimated $300 million would come from the state's hotel/motel tax. Some residents believe that money could be better spent on things like infrastructure or roadways. But there's another side. As Frank Poe, executive director of the Georgia World Congress Center pointed out, you must also think about the up front cost and the money a new stadium could generate. Poe said he believes with the Falcons kicking in most of the cash, they would be more invested in the project's success. The Georgia Dome as it stands is 100% public. Still, some can't get over the idea that the Georgia Dome is just 20 years old, and still has a lot of life left in it.
NFL officials say a new stadium would increase the city's likelihood of landing another Super Bowl.When asked if the new stadium was a done deal, Poe said it isn't yet—and won't be until an agreement is signed. He added that they are very close to an agreement, and they hope to have it signed by the end of the year. The Falcons hope to be playing in a new stadium by 2017.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

No Doubt Cries "Don't Speak" to Band Hero Avatars

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Jacksonville University women's basketball team dug themselves into an early hole and battled in the second half to close it but ultimately fell on the road to Lipscomb, 94-79, on Thursday night.
Guards Queen Alford and Sherranda Reddick led JU with 20 points each while senior guard Stephanie Edwards contributed 13 points with five assists and three steals.
Lipscomb recorded five players in double-digits with Chandler Cooper leading the way on 22 points.
"From the beginning of the game I knew it would be all about defense," said Head Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin. "A team like Lipscomb is a dangerous team because they don't have anything to lose. They came out and did what they were supposed to do. They hit big shots; they shot the best I've seen them shoot all year and what we had to do was defend them."
Open looks for the Lady Bisons allowed them to jump out to a quick 7-2 lead. After the sluggish start, the Dolphins shook off the rust and knocked in back-to-back layups to pull within one, 7-6, with 16:48 on the clock. JU took their first lead of the game, 12-11, on free-throws from Edwards before the teams went on to tie for the fifth time at 16-all with 13:45 remaining.
The Dolphin's inability to defend three pointers provided the Bisons with a 24-18 cushion as they hit 5-of-7 from beyond the arc by 12:07. In an aggressive game with plenty of whistles, the Dolphins were over the limit before the midpoint of the frame and LU was shooting two at the line from then on.
By 9:14, the Bisons had built a 10-point advantage, 32-22, on another trey from Sara Bliss. Momentum was in favor of Lipscomb over the ensuing minutes as they worked their way up to a 44-28 tip with less than three minutes left in the half.
Freshman center Jenny Vernet and Edwards closed the gap to single-digits, 44-35, before Reddick closed the half with a power layup to allow JU to enter the half trailing 46-37.
Jacksonville opened the second frame with new life. After Edwards opened the period with a layin, Alford stole the ball on the Bisons inbound play and hit the close jumper. While the Fins were in need of a defensive stop, offensively they remained within an arm's reach.
Trading baskets, Reddick banged in a three-point, 56-49, at 15:48 but Danay Fothergill returned the favor on the Bisons next possession.
Pressuring LU, the Dolphins forced a steal and Reddick took advantage of the extra possession with a made midrange jumper to pull JU within six, 61-55, with 13:51 remaining. The Bisons couldn't stop the freshman as she worked JU's 10-0 run with six points of her own. Down by as much as 16 at one point, the Dolphins tied the contest at 61-all at 11:07.
In a game of runs, Lipscomb and Jacksonville traded them plenty. Three consecutive treys gave the Bisons back a 70-61 lead (8:35) after the stalemate. In a repeating cycle, the Dolphins would pull within a few scores and LU would end the stretch with a break of its own.
Trailing by 16 in the final two minutes, the Dolphins ran out of gas and fell out of range of a comeback.
The contest marked the Lady Bisons first home and conference victory of the season. In the loss, JU fell to 10-12 overall and 7-4 in the Atlantic Sun while LU improved to 4-19 and 1-11.
Jacksonville continues its travels on Saturday, Feb. 15 to face Northern Kentucky at 7 p.m.
"It's all about pride from now on as we play these teams for the second time," said McCuin. "You can win on any night and you can lose on any night. It's about executing from start to finish."

A season of giving to others
With the holiday season upon us, it is the time when giving to others less fortunate gets into high gear. People help others throughout the year, but charitable giving seems to take on new urgency during the holiday season.
Part of it relates to Christmas - the holiday has become a time of giving in addition to its religious meaning. That can mean exchanging gifts with loved ones. Or it can mean giving those who are needy.
And that charitable giving takes on many forms. It can be giving the most basic of needs - food, shelter, clothing. Or it can mean giving gifts, especially to children. No one wants to see a child without at least some type of present at Christmas.
There are so many efforts of giving during this season that it would be impossible to mention all that help. The giving comes from organized groups, civic and fraternal organizations, full-time charities, informal gatherings of volunteers and individuals. The giving ranges across the board.
There is no shortage of those who give. But unfortunately there is no shortage of people who need help, especially during a time of economic uncertainty.
Remember this holiday season to do what you can to give - not just to loved ones but to those who really need a helping and loving hand.

Publication: The Day
A spokeswoman for Attorney General George Jepsen said Wednesday that he has given a short extension to Amistad America to produce copies of its application for reinstatement of its nonprofit status and its audited financial reports.
Jepsen had set the deadline for Monday, but spokeswoman Jaclyn Falkowski said he has granted a few more days, till the end of the week. She said more information may be available on Friday.
The struggling organization that owns the Mystic Seaport-built schooner Amistad lost its tax-exempt status after failing to file federal tax returns three years in a row.
The news comes as state Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, presses the state Department of Economic and Community Development to detail how Amistad America has spent the $8 million in state taxpayer money that it has received for the construction, maintenance, programming and operation of the vessel.
DECD has not responded to The Day's request for information about how the money has been spent.
DECD has given the ship $1.9 million over the past four years. It plans to pay Amistad America $359,000 a year for the next two years and it made payments this year despite questions from the Internal Revenue Service.
The former New Haven-based organization, which no longer has an office or website, has now moved the Amistad to Maine, where it is being leased to a sail training organization.
In a May 29 email, the DECD told Urban that contrary to The Day's reporting of Amistad America's shaky financial status, "Our findings paint a positive picture ... of a struggling organization finally starting to turn the corner in achieving financial stability."
Except for mentioning three "potentially transformative partnerships," it offered no specifics about how much money the organization would generate for the vessel.

Rep. Diana Urban is demanding that the state Department of Economic and Community Development justify the continued use of taxpayer money to fund Amistad America. Do you think the state should continue to give money to the organization?

Free Action Game: Nexuiz 2.5
After almost a year of development, a new version 2.5 of the free Nexuiz open source action game has come out. What awaits users are some updated graphics and numerous fan-developed game levels.
Not much of the game's humble beginnings remain: the first version of Nexuiz, based on the DarkPlaces engine (a modified Quake engine), first appeared 2005. Beside being in a single player version, Nexuiz is primarily an Internet game.
Nexuiz 2.5 includes some new weapons and particle effects, a race game mode, new maps and improved network code. Nexuiz claims that a reworked client-server communication will cut bandwidth usage in half. In race game mode players have to complete a level from start to finish as quickly as possible. Even the bots are smarter, use teamwork, can swim and do bunny-hopping.
The recompiled maps have crisper shadowing, providing more realistic effects. Together with the game, developers also included the NetRadiant map editor to inspire gamers to create their own maps. Finally, the head-up display (HUD) was completely redone.
The release notes include full details. The Alientrap team is also currently looking for new developers. Game download is available for the more than 600-MByte
