A British medical journal has retracted an article and apologized for claiming that internal industry documents it received from an anonymous source had gone "missing" during a 1994 product liability suit against the maker of Prozac.
The medical journal BMJ Thursday retracted and apologized for the claim it made early this month that internal industry documents it received from an anonymous source had gone "missing" during a 1994 product liability suit against Eli Lilly and Co., maker of the antidepressant Prozac.
Facing growing scrutiny over the safety of their products, the leading global drug companies last week pledged to disclose more information about their clinical trials. Adoption of this new policy, however, is completely voluntary and does not require any disclosure of exploratory trials.
An internal document purportedly from Eli Lilly and Co. appears to show that the drug manufacturer had data more than 15 years ago showing that patients on its antidepressant Prozac were far more likely to attempt suicide and show hostility than patients on other antidepressants.

If you are not shooting a course on picture taking, attempt getting involved in the pictures community.

On your smart phone (so long as it features a cam), keep a unique ideas book inside your photos. Each and every day you can stumble upon some awesome, inspiring idea, second or spot. Snap photos of those venues and seconds, and keep them in this inspiration record.

Earlier this month, we asked readers what they think the city should do with the Health Department building at 1294 Centre Street, as the department was planning to vacate the building and move to a new location.
But where is the new office located?
The city's Health & Human Services Department is now located in the Veterans Wing on the main (first) floor of Newton City Hall, 1000 Commonwealth Ave.
To get to the Veterans Wing, go through the front door of City Hall and walk straight back, down the middle corridor. The Health Department will be located on the left.
The Health Department phone number (617-796-1420) will remain the same.
As for the old Health Department building, a Joint Advisory Planning Group (JAPG) has done a study on the potential uses for the site. With some adjustments to the building, the JAPG suggested the space could be converted into a restaurant or indoor farmers' market.
During Tuesday night's Board of Aldermen meeting, Ward 2 Alderman-at-Large Susan Albright noted that the Real Property and Reuse Committee will hold a public hearing next week on the JAPG report for the Health Department building. Members of the public are invited to attend and give feedback on the report and potential uses.
The hearing will be held Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 7:45 p.m. in the Aldermanic Chamber at City Hall.

Far Cry 3 Information:
Far Cry 3 is an new coming first-person shooter game being developed and Published by Ubisoft in conjunction with Ubisoft Reflections, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Massive and game will be published for Windows, Xbox360 and PlayStation 3. it also have role playing game elements including exp. points, crafting system and skill tree. On 6 June 2011 Ubisoft released demo gameplay of Far Cry 3 in its E3 2011 conference.
As we reported last month , drugs will play a role Far Cry 3 . And this just upsets me because what I played of it was awesome. XBOX 360 it's Gamescom 2012 trailer shows 4 players coop campaign . Ubisoft offered no explanation for the Far Cry 3 delay. Ubisoft will announce the specific window for Far Cry 3 's closed beta at a later date.
That's why the makeup of the Far Cry 3 team intrigues me. Remember, Far Cry 3 is about you, trapped on an island of crazy people with weapons. With no defined geographical location as of now, it is takes place in an island paradise. The multiplayer demo for Far Cry 3 was a variation of the common Territories mode. I hope Far Cry 3 has some kind of scientific experimentation involved with it.
The designers of Far Cry 3 don't want to focus entirely on traditional mission types. One of the interesting hooks about the setting of Far Cry 3 is the island's maddening effect on its inhabitants.

The list is pretty bad though. Eli at 2? Come on.
Add/subtract: Jon Gruden moving from sideline to broadcast booth will have some effect on the QBs.
The Bucs will finish 8th in the league in rushing this year. You heard it here first. It was in a fortune cookie.
I think 21 was generous considering our QB situation is so up in the air right now.
You telling me you don't have faith in McClown or Leftwich? You must be a hater
With Bryant, Winslow, Ward and Graham along with our (hopefully improved) offensive line, I don't really care who's QB.With the right coaching, teams can hide a weakness at QB if other positions are solid.

After making our Advent wreath last Sunday, I sat on the sofa by the fireplace all day nursing a cold, and sipping liters of rooibos tea with grated ginger. I did only one other thing: I crocheted a hat.
Well, make that three other things, because I made three hats (it was a bad cold, that required lots of sitting, hot tea and ... crocheting!).
PomPoms and Puffs Pixie Hat is such a cute, quick pattern, that as soon as I finished a hat for Rebecca (sorry for the silly photos, I wasn't up to shooting better ones), I decided to make a toddler size for a little friend:
After finishing that, I just had to make one more hat, a baby size this time, for the grand-daughter of the owners of the pizza place down the hill. I don't really know their family at all, but this is the only baby girl I could think of, and all babies born in winter should have a handmade hat, even if it's made by a stranger:
I should add that Rebecca helped me make them. While I crocheted the puffs, she made the pompoms. Despite my cold, it was a good Sunday!
(pompoms made by Rebecca with the cardboard circle technique)

Krysta Rodriguez Lands Role on NBC's "Smash"; Leslie Odom Jr. Now a Series Regular
By Andrew Gans
Krysta Rodriguez, who created the role of Wednesday Addams in Broadway's The Addams Family, will be a series regular on NBC's second season of "Smash," according to TVLine.
Rodriguez, who has been seen on TV's "Gossip Girl," will join previously announced new series regulars Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson, Newsies Tony nominee Jeremy Jordan and up-and-coming theatre actor Andy Mientus.
Rodriguez will play Ana, "Karen [Katharine McPhee]'s fun and spunky new roommate who is looking for her big break on the Great White Way," according to TVLine. Her other Broadway credits include In the Heights, Spring Awakening, A Chorus Line and Good Vibrations.
Deadline.com also reports that Leslie Odom Jr., who had a recurring role during the first season of the musical drama as Sam, a love interest for Tom Levitt (Christian Borle), will be a series regular for the new season.
"Smash," the scripted musical drama series about the makers of a new Broadway musical, will again star Emmy Award winner Debra Messing ("Will & Grace"), Oscar winner Anjelica Huston ("Prizzi's Honor"), Jack Davenport ("Pirates of the Caribbean" films), Christian Borle (Legally Blonde the Musical, Peter and the Starcatcher), Katharine McPhee ("American Idol") and Megan Hilty (9 to 5: The Musical).
From Universal Television in association with DreamWorks Television, "Smash" came from an idea of executive producer and multiple Emmy and Oscar winner Spielberg ("ER," "Schindler's List"). The series' executive producers also include Joshua Safran ("Gossip Girl"), who is new to the second season; Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Oscar-winning "Chicago," "Hairspray" and Broadway's recent Promises, Promises and How to Succeed…); Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey ("United States of Tara," "The Borgias"); Tony and Grammy Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (songwriters of Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can), who pen the series' original songs; and Theresa Rebeck (Broadway's Mauritius and Seminar, "NYPD Blue").

It's a shame that Pat is not setting the world on fire like she did in the 80's-maybe its because her music has a more mature sound then back then. Some of the best songs on this album are "Only Love" and "River of Love" "Papa's Roses" prove that they can still write good songs. And the voice….better then ever.

University and the National Survey
of Student Engagement: Using Assessment Data
to Improve Student Learning
It would be hard to miss all the
recent news critical of existing methods by which colleges
and universities are assessed and ranked. Many critics have
pointed out the inadequacies of the U.S. News and World
Report rankings and especially their lack of attention
to any measures of student learning outcomes. In addition,
however, too many assessment models miss a key component--feeding
results back into continuous improvement of programs. One
exception to this rule is the National Survey of Student Engagement.
More than 470 different 4-year colleges and universities use
this instrument to receive information not only to demonstrate
their strengths to prospective students, but also to improve
the learning that occurs on their campuses and the programs
that can truly help students succeed in college.
At the heart of Millikin
University's learning experience is the Millikin
Program of Student Learning (MPSL). Evaluated in the 2001
NSSE, this innovative curriculum allows students, through
regularly scheduled meetings with faculty, to connect and
shape various areas of their study. The most recent NSSE study
measured the impact of the MPSL over four years, and, although
scores for Millikin seniors in all survey categories improved
from year 2000 to year 2001, these scores did not improve
at as high a rate as other institutions in the survey. This
data is particularly significant because the 2001 senior class
was the first class at Millikin to experience the MPSL curriculum
throughout their entire Millikin education.
Still, Paul Folger, Coordinator
of Institutional Research and Assessment at Millikin, feels
that the NSSE is a "great way to monitor changes"
at the institution. Mr. Folger is particularly pleased with
NSSE in comparison to other assessment instruments because
this survey "allows national comparison." He emphasizes
that NSSE questions measure "what students are doing
not just what their opinions are." He also stresses that
students get more out of their educational experience when
they are "engaged" and NSSE measures that student
Although "we are very pleased
with results in academic-based areas of the survey,"
he notes that one area of concern from this year's results
is "supportive campus environment" or social life.
Millikin is a small school in a moderate sized city, without
the community resources of some larger neighboring institutions.
Awareness of these findings from NSSE will allow the faculty
and administration to find ways to help students become more
involved in extra- and co-curricular activities that the University
currently offers and perhaps create more outlets for social
interaction in the future.
Mr. Folger also commented that the
graduating class of 2001 might have reacted to something of
a "guinea pig" effect. "We underwent a major
curricular change in 1995. The senior group that went through
the entire program may have reacted to the dramatic difference
from the upperclassmen's learning experience at the time."
The National Survey of Student Engagement,
or NSSE (pronounced "nessie"), was designed by assessment
experts to measure the level of academic challenge, time on
task, and students' participation in "educationally purposeful
activities directly influencing" quality of learning
and overall education experience. As a survey, NSSE annually
assesses the extent to which students at four-year colleges
and universities take part in educational practices that many
research studies show are strongly associated with high levels
of learning and personal development.
NSSE's "enriching educational
experience" category looks at elements such as community
service, practical experience, and participation in activities
outside the classroom. The "active and collaborative
learning" category evaluates elements such as making
class presentations, participating in community-based projects,
and working with other students on projects outside of class.
Millikin students scored particularly well in these two categories.
All of these elements are essential parts of the University
Seminar Program at Millikin, an introduction to university
life and to Millikin's commitment to service learning that
is required of all first year students. NSSE rankings for
Millikin freshman were in the highest percentiles.
Also mentioned in the 2001 NSSE
report is Millikin's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship
program. This program teams a student with a faculty member
to do an in-depth research project demonstrating that Millikin
undergraduates enjoy research opportunities similar to the
opportunities given to graduate students elsewhere.
Information in the NSSE report has
also been used by Millikin administration to support accreditation
information and has been built into reports to Millikin's
Board of Trustees. The Faculty Council on Curriculum is intensively
using NSSE data in its continuing effort to monitor the positive
impact of recent curricular changes.
Millikin University participated
in the pilot NSSE survey instrument. The survey was given
to Millikin freshman and then to the sophomores the following
year, allowing the originators of the survey to validate the
questions and survey structure.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places." Ephesians 1:3
"What a blessing!" Surely you have said that phrase before or have heard another person saying that in your presence (but not necessarily about your presence!). In Paul's letter the church at Ephesus he tells them that they indeed should be saying this phrase as they have received "every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places."
What does this phrase mean?
Paul gives some context later in the first chapter, namely that we might know God through spiritual wisdom and revelation (v. 17). Our spiritual blessings are in the knowledge and joy in knowing God—a relationship with God is the spiritual blessing! Twice, Paul says that these blessings are to the "praise of his glory."
God the Father has lavished the gifts of his blessing upon us so that we might be able to praise him more fully through those gifts. The plan was revealed so that all things in heaven and on earth might be fully united together (v. 10). When we receive his spiritual blessings and use them to glorify God we are an active participant in uniting heaven and earth. This is one of the ways that God calls us to join him on his mission.
Do you see all things as a gift? Maybe not, especially if you have fought hard to earn them. Consider your accomplishments, progress, milestones, or promotions: Did you earn them? Or are they gifts of spiritual blessings that you can praise God through?
Here are few more questions to consider:
- How have you been blessed spiritually?
- What spiritual blessings have you received that you have taken for granted?
- Do you seek to give "praise of his glory" through these blessings?
- Do you selfishly hold on to these blessings for your own gain?
Adam Christiansen is the Community Groups pastor at the Ballard church.


text: Since the releasing of Tanard Jackson, everybody has been talking about the need to get another safety or two. Out of all the people that have been suggested, I don't believe Dennard has been brought up. A few months back he was considered a lock to be a first round pick, however with a poor combine he could probably slip into the third round. I think getting a guy like Dennard in the third round would be a great pick up. Yes, I know he plays corner, however he is also thought of as a guy who can and should make the switch to safety. The last time we drafted a corner and switched him to safety he was on his way to becoming one of the better safeties in the league before his drug problems interfered with his game.....Tanard Jackson.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is FTWT different from other programs?
Founded by a history teacher who requires students to think "outside the textbook," Friendship Tours World Travel is dedicated to the principle that a dynamic understanding of our world is critical for student success. In 2005—30 years after the "Fall of Saigon" and with American forces stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq—pop culture began to reflect on the lessons learned from the Vietnam War. Inspired by the gravity of this inquiry and wishing to pose it to a broader audience of students and teachers, Alethea Paradis built an education-service-abroad program focused on Vietnam. By popular demand, the program expanded. Friendship Tours World Travel offers tours and corresponding curricula in five Southeast Asian countries: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.
Balancing the demands of active exploration, volunteer service and cultural immersion, FTWT offers a full-spectrum of travel experiences designed to cultivate our students' global consciousness. Our tours travel in small groups to ensure an authentic and intimate adventure that promotes safety, personal growth and cross-cultural connection. Our philosophy of experiential learning through travel and community service—actively engaging with the history and culture of the countries we visit—builds lifelong understanding of people once dismissed as the "enemy." After traversing the ground of milestone battles, interactive museums, sacred sites and natural landscapes, students are better equipped to analyze the human impact of the geopolitical strategic concerns of today.
Describe a typical day of travel with FTWT:
Every day of a Friendship Tour offers a unique and enlightening adventure. Rise early to see the sunrise above the ancient, jungle-entwined monuments of Angkor Wat. Spend mornings trekking mist-woven mountains, visiting hill-tribe villages led by a knowledgeable local guide. Stop for a French fusion lunch in Saigon's fashionable "District One." Construct an organic orchard for the victims of Agent Orange poisoning at the Vietnam Friendship Village. Enjoy dinners of fresh and authentic cuisine at some of Southeast Asia's finest establishments. Each destination and active exploration has a lesson, a purpose and a group of unforgettable people with whom we connect and humanize. Our detailed and Upcoming Trips are designed to give students a comprehensive introduction into different cultural histories—learning firsthand the real life implications of US foreign policy and forging a mentality of global citizenship through service-work and travel.
How do I contact the student or teacher traveler during the tour?
The Internet is the most convenient way to stay in touch and will be available at most of our accommodations. During our daily reflection time, students utilize hotel guest computers to upload pictures, blog and email personal reflections back home. In case of emergency, each chaperone carries an international cell phone and can be contacted at any time.
Why do you provide lodging in four and five star hotels and Homestay?
While recognizing that active travel requires physical energy of our travelers, we consistently lodge in places which are restorative and comfortable. All hotels provide convenient buffet breakfast for individual flexibility in the mornings. Typically, student pairs room together separated by gender in hotel suites, sharing a private bath.
Students and teachers utilize modern facilities of the hotel to foster individual reflection and study time. Access to Internet, light snacks, exercise rooms and lifeguarded swimming pools are helpful amenities in this regard. Most of our itineraries offer a balance of overnights in beautiful four-star hotels and in rustic homestay accommodations.
What is Homestay?
Homestay is best described as a rustic Bed & Breakfast with a family. In Homestay, students experience the authenticity of cooking, eating and sleeping in the style of local culture at their destination. In the Mekong Delta, groups can Homestay on the tropical properties of former Vietcong generals, turned orchid farmers. In rural Cambodia, groups can Homestay adjacent to an orphanage dedicated to teaching ancient art crafts to its residents. In Laos, students may Homestay at an old monastery, rising at dawn to live like a monk for a day. Each Homestay option is unique and offers an unscripted snapshot of ordinary life. For lodging, students are separated into two "dormitory-style" rooms with personal beds under insect repellent netting. Group restroom facilities are modest and clean.
Is it easy for a vegetarian or someone with special dietary needs to travel with FTWT?
All travelers appreciate delicious and authentic meals throughout their Friendship Tour and vegetarian diets are easily accommodated. While we aim to offer cuisine options for a variety of food tastes, Friendship Tours World Travel cannot guarantee that all food choices will be without allergens and those with food allergies are encouraged to take any necessary precautions to ensure their safety and comfort.
What happens if a traveler needs medical attention?
Every tour is equipped with standard safety and medical preparations: first aid kits, bottled water and on-call medical-professional staff. All of our Teacher Program Leaders are CPR certified, trained to administer basic first aid, and travel with copies of student medical data forms at all times. Although our solid planning, precautions and safety practices have ensured that no student traveler has ever suffered any injury on our tours, Friendship Tours World Travel is prepared for issues requiring emergency medical care. Our emergency response is supported by quality in-country medical facilities akin to American "Urgent Care" centers. In the unlikely event of an emergency, we contact parents immediately. Friendship Tours World Travel promises clear and candid communication with parents regardless of the severity of the concern.
Bad weather, political upheaval and power outages are not uncommon in developing countries. How do you respond to issues of safety and security if such events occur?
The safety of our student travelers is our top priority. The excellence and in-depth knowledge of our professional guides allows us to take necessary and on-sight precautions and our chaperones are all Red Cross CPR certified. Additionally, Friendship Tours World Travel independently reviews UN reports and NGO updates, keeping close and comprehensive track of the political and social environments of the countries we visit. In case of any unforeseeable problems, we pre-register our tours with the U.S. embassies in each country. Friendship Tours World Travel reserves the right to cancel an itinerary if deemed unsafe.
What vaccinations and health precautions do you recommend?
All travelers should see their physician prior to departure in order to make informed decisions about necessary immunizations and booster shots. Generally, our tour itineraries are classified as "urban and upscale" according to the Center for Disease Control, and present very low health risks to the traveler. Vaccination recommendations will vary according to itinerary destinations, season and personal choice. Student travelers who follow our preparatory "packing list" will be well-equipped for the temperatures and conditions present on their itineraries. Our best practices further minimize the possibility of illness and injury. In addition, every group is furnished with bottled water, anti-bacterial hand wipes, bug repellent and sunscreen on a daily basis.
What rules and regulations ensure constant chaperoning of students throughout the tours? What is the protocol for nighttime supervision?
To ensure overall well-being, students are never left unsupervised when outside of their private and secure hotel rooms. Teacher Program Leaders are always present during group activities and we employ the "buddy system" for brief departures from the group (e.g. to use the restroom). Students are not permitted to leave the hotel at the conclusion of the day's activities and Teacher Program Leaders conduct random room checks during "hotel free-time." Students who require a rest day are accompanied by a chaperone—no one is ever left behind.
How do you address the issue of safety for female travelers?
Our no-student-left-behind policy ensures that no one is ever unsupervised. We also prep our female students before departure to dress and behave modestly. Adapting to cultural norms of dress and behavior is the best way to avoid unwanted attention.
How can student travelers earn college credit with FTWT?
Our optional college credit curriculum gives students the opportunity to quantify their learning and demonstrate the breadth of their acquired knowledge.
Our academic credit is issued from California State University, Sacramento. To earn college credit, students must submit a ten-page paper, their travel journal, brochures and other "cultural artifacts" from our Friendship Tour. Students may use the FTWT curriculum and free access to ABC-CLIO educational database to research and write their college credit paper. Teacher Program Leaders are also available to advise student academic focus. Visit www.cce.csus.edu/programs/travelstudy.htm for more details about our Travel Study Program and to download all required forms.
Can I bring my iPod on the trip?
One of the primary objectives of FTWT is experiential learning—actively interacting with a foreign culture through service work and travel. Nevertheless, iPods and other mp3 players are permitted during flights, bus trips and free time.
How much spending money should I bring?
Our tour fee includes all lodging and meals. However, there will be opportunities to shop for souvenirs. We suggest bringing around $80 to $100 per week for personal expenses.
Can I talk to past participants and parents of former travelers of FTWT?
Absolutely. Please contact us and we'll connect with you the families of our alumni travelers. Learning first hand from previous travelers about their every-day experience is a great way to address any additional questions and concerns.

RELATED: Officials eye track in Lawrence County
By Marc Kovac
Jim Messenger said he was at the finish line 40 years ago when Secretariat won the Triple Crown in record-breaking fashion.
He saw Seattle Slew snag the Crown a few years later, and he's been on hand for every Breeder's Cup since the mid-1980s.
The Youngstown attorney is serious about horse racing.
"I've probably been to every racetrack in the United States and some in England," Messenger told the Ohio State Racing Commission on Wednesday.
Messenger also lives a mile or so away from a proposed Austintown racino, which he expects will become a hot spot for racetrack aficionados, given the distance he and others currently are willing to travel to watch a race. "Our economy is burgeoning, and we have a lot of horse bettors in Mahoning, Trumbull, Columbiana, Lawrence County, Mercer County, all around us. We love the sport. ... There's a whole bunch of us who will want to have our own table, who will want to watch the races probably two to three days a week," he said.
About 70 percent of those bettors want a seat with a view of the track and a table to spread out their racing forms, he explained — adding that the proposed Mahoning County track won't have nearly enough seats to accommodate them.
The racing commission is considering an application from Penn National Gaming to move a Columbus-area racetrack to Austintown.
The session near the Statehouse was the second in as many weeks, and commissioners have scheduled a third for next Wednesday for further discussion on spectator seating and other issues.
"I still have concerns about the number of seats," said racing commission Chairman Robert Schmitz. "If you could take another look at that, I would appreciate it."
Penn National added more than 250 indoor seats with racetrack views to its plans over the past week, and company officials urged commissioners to consider the $250 million investment the company is making to establish the Youngstown-area racino.
"We understand your desire to have higher seat counts," said Steve Snyder, senior vice president of corporate development. "And I hope you understand our constraint to work within the envelope of the building [on which] we've already begun the permitting and construction process."
Penn National is paying the state a $75 million relocation fee and $50 million license fee for two tracks it wants to move from suburban Columbus and Toledo to Austintown and Dayton, respectively.
Each new facility will cost about $125 million to construct, and the gaming company has estimated the creation of 1,000 construction jobs and 1,000 direct and related employees in the community as a result of each new track.
The main building will have room for up to 1,500 video-lottery terminals — essentially electronic slots overseen by the state lottery commission that are expected to draw crowds and bolster Ohio's equine economy.
Penn National owns a 195-acre parcel, formerly zoned for a proposed Austintown industrial park, and has already completed initial site work on the property for the new Hollywood Valley Race Course.
Darren Crivelli, Austintown Township zoning inspector, said Penn already has conditional-use and other approvals for the project. He also said the township likely could move quickly on site plan changes, with the exception of a 200-plus-foot buffer between the racino and an adjacent residential area.
"In terms of the zoning and in terms of the engineering, the township is satisfied with this project, and obviously our elected officials support this project," Crivelli told the racing commission.
Penn officials attempted to assuage commission concerns about the number of horse stalls and spectator seating on the grounds.
Snyder said Penn is working with the state's horsemen association to identify lower-cost options for barns, a process that could more than double the number of proposed stalls.
Penn's current plans include indoor and outdoor seating with track views for more than 1,160 people. In response to earlier commission concerns, the company increased indoor seating with views of the track to 518 from more than 200.
The racing commission asked Penn to consider additional seating, but Penn officials want to open the racino next year, and Snyder cautioned that changes to the building's proposed footprint likely would add four to six months or more to that timeline.
"We are very anxious to get these facilities built, to get these facilities open ... We are at a point now where we've started site work, we are ready to order steel, we are ready to begin construction on these facilities," he said.
He added later, "If you're asking us to add seating, we must expand the building, and expanding the building will delay the schedules that you've seen."
Crivelli added: "There's room to accommodate, but I just don't think you're going to need those outdoor seats for a winter racing schedule. It's not going to be very necessary, I think, to have outdoor seating in January."
Though he did not attend the meeting, Austintown Township Trustee Jim Davis said he remains optimistic for the future of the project. "I hope Penn National's efforts to add seating will persuade the racing commission to approve [the transfer]," Davis said.
What gives the Govt. the idea that it can tell a business how to run , maybe they can come and tell me where to put the wires on the panels that I build i'm sure that they could do a better job. This kind of interference has to stop if this country is going to survive.
You need to worry about the seating for the buffet around this town not the horse races.
The seating problem will be around the nickle slots. People in this area are cheap gamblers.
Keep it up it looks like your doing a good job or getting rid of JOBS! After all they are good at it, that is except for GOV'T JOBS!!!! Keep us all poor and dependent and we'll be another Iraq in a few years( A plan i think gov't is working towards). How about forget about a few seats and look at the money and JOBS this will bring and the trickle down effect of JOBS this would be. An area dubbed as Forbes 20th worst city!! Everybody needs to call/email these jokers and let them know about the REAL world!! If I can find them I will post here
Is there a competitor in the wings that is attempting to get this project fubared? Perhaps some campaign contributions did not go to the correct people? Just asking.
What gives the govt the idea that it can dictate how it can tell a business to run is that it is the law. We cannot have a casino only option as the Constitutional Amendment that was on the ballot a few years ago only allows this option in four cities. Under law, we can have a racetrack with VLT's, if it is relocated. So, to have the track license relocated to Y-town, the track owners must comply with the desires of the Ohio State Racing Commission. Horse racing is suffering in Ohio because adjacent states can offer larger purses since they are subsidized by the VLT's. The idea is to grow the purses to help the horse owners and breeders and to hopefully improve the environment for them. With the type of guaranteed profits these companies will make, adding some seats around a track is far from a deal breaker!
going....going...GONE!! Watch and see if they don't pull out and give this excellent opportunity to some deserving county!! What a history this gov't is laying down by telling us what we can eat, drink, read, what are kids can have to eat for lunch, and on and on. Its a slow process but our guy in DC is speeding it up they only have a few yrs left. I hope we can recover. Turning away good money is just to simple. Just call CLEVELAND see if they take a few seats away if it effects them. These people do this every day!!! SAD
I find myself agreeing with Walter on this one. People didn't want the slots so it is basically a technicality to get the slots in.
But the greedy don't want to put the extra seats in because they know no one really is interested in racing its all about the slots that we don't want. You would think they would be happy to get their looser business in the back door by going along with the extra seating but instead they are whining.
How long do we give this place before they shut down and move else where? North eastern Ohio, W PA and WV is saturated with gambling.
Trickle down? What a load of crap. Service sector starvation wages and outside building contracts that are temporary-business as usual except more undesirables in the immediate area.
Get a grip...Bigben and get out of the house and go to Las Vegas, Louisiana, Moutaineer, Horseshoe and on and on. This blows your "Trickle Down" ignorance to hell and back. Take a few minutes and put the comic books down and call Cleveland and maybe Weirton, WVA bureau of Taxation and see how the casinos are doing. What a loser!! Like this area is the employment capitol of the world or something!! What could we lose??? Ahh stumped for an answer?? I thought so. Geezzz go to Eastwood Field in Niles this summer(get out of the house ASAP) see a game talk to some people, there were a few ding bats like you who HATED that idea to Thugstown being one of them. That would be embarrassing to you for sure..lots of people having fun, spending money, and trickle down..get serious bigben what a laugh.

I'm sure it'll be a little easier for people to agree with my delusional point of view after this game than it was after ODU. The hoyas flushed the green wave pretty thoroughly last night at the verizon center. Despite the absence of our beloved swagman the hoyas were able to dominate in all facets of the game.
The team started out by dominating from beyond the arc raining 3's down on poor tulane. The hoyas built a 20pt lead in the first half. Naturally at that point they let up on the gas a little bit and JTIII began to shuffle more players in and out to get the bench minutes. Tulane was able to close the gap a little with a run that spanned the end of the first and the beginning of the second half.
JTIII turned to a 3/4 court trapping press to invigorate the team. I love our press. Fans have been clamoring for it for years. Not only are we running a press, but it's working too. The hoyas forced 14 turnovers against tulane and at least half of those were as a result of the press and we got a couple of easy buckets from the press as well. Georgetown had 14pts off of steals according to the good people at hoya prospectus.
The hoyas were able to flex their depth in this game as every hoya player that was available played. Get well soon Julian and Markel. Moses looked extremely cool in his suit tonight. Georgetown players always dress well.
Overall one has to be very happy with last night's result. We almost shot 50% from the field we shot over 40% from 3, held our opponent to 36% fro the field, played good defense, and were never threatened. On to the Charleston classic!
Player Evaluations:
Chris Wright: People love to complain about chris's decision making. Especially on the fast break. Honestly I didn't see much to complain about last night. He either got to the rim or got fouled last night. On one occasion he turned it over. no one bats 1.000. The issue we have here is confirmation bias. People expect chris to be bad on the break now so every time there's a fast break they're already expecting something negative so that's what they find even if it doesn't reflect reality. People complained about a fast break where chris took it to the hole and got fouled. They complained because he got fouled. Why is that a problem or his fault?
Chris actually played a great game. He dished out a career high 8 assists. So i think that counteracts his 1 assist against ODU. He also added 7pts 2 rbds(I'm sure he had more than that), and 4 steals.
Austin Freeman: Austin was austin 4-6 from 3pt land cool and collected. Just dominated the game with brutal efficiency. Don't need to say much about him he's just a joy to watch.
Jason Clark: Player of the game in my opinion. Not only was his stat line amazing: 17pts 11rbds, 5steals. But he did it all in the wake of his grandmother passing away early monday morning. Again not much to say. Jason has taken a step up from last year and is flat out doing work.
Hollis Thompson: Hollis found the rims @ ODU to be unkind, but back in the friendly confines of the verizon center hollis knocked down a couple three's played solid defense and grabbed 5 rebounds in a very solid showing. He had a phenomenal block in the first half and almost posterized a poor tulane player.
Henry Sims: Regular man stood in for swag man last night and henry acquitted himself rather well. He scored on a nice post move the first time he got the ball. He wasn't give the ball very often in the position to score and when he was the height deficient tulane double teamed him. Henry correctly kicked the ball out in that situation. Henry did a great job on the board pulling in 5 according to the stat keepers. It seems obvious at this point that henry will be a solid part of the rotation and I couldn't be happier
Vee Sanford: Seemingly fully recovered from his illness that kept him out of the ODU game, Vee submitted his resume for being a serious contributor to our already stunning back court. Pouring in 10pts in 19 minutes of play including 2-3 from 3pt land. Vee is also a energetic defender who was really effective in the press. I really like this kid and glad to see him in the rotation and that coach is using his quality depth.
Nate Lubick: Kid is a bundle of energy. He hustled his ass off grabbing rebounds and trying to block shots. Kid has ups too as demonstrated by him sitting on a tulane player's head.
He scored the first points of his career last night and would've had more but the refs decided it was unfair to call every foul tulane committed since they were so bad.
Jerrelle Benimon: The benimonster does what he does. He's another high energy player who's going to work his but off on both ends. He can come in play solid defense and knows the offensive sets. He'll be able to chip in points here and there, but his role is to play defense and grab rebounds.
Aaron Bowen: It was his first game and he was obviously nervous. Glad to see JTIII give him some run now in the preseason. He has the skills to be good down the road. He was active and energetic. It'll come together for him at some point.
John Caprio: he's a walk on, but that doesn't mean he's no good. He made a strong move to the basket to draw a foul. he didn't convert, but I love the attitude and he showed a fair bit of skill. Great walk on to have.
Ryan Dougherty: Ryan's my boy we go back quite a bit. He runs the offense well and is a huge part of the team even though most fans don't get to see it.

Feb. 1, 2014
MADISON, Wis. - Tina Samara may be new to the Wisconsin-Marquette rivalry, but it didn't take her long to notch bragging rights in the I-94 series. In her first season as the Badgers' head coach, Samara led UW (1-0) to a season-opening 5-2 win over Marquette on Saturday in Milwaukee.
"It was definitely great for the team to beat Marquette since we lost to them last year," Samara said, referring to UW's loss a year ago, which snapped an eleven-year win streak over the in-state rivals. "We owed them one back."
Wisconsin started off strong by securing the doubles point when Sydney Rider and Lauren Burich defeated Ali Dawson and Aina Hernandez in the No. 1 match. Nova Patel and Anastasia Tripolskaya also took down Ana Pimenta and Vanessa Foltinger. Both matches ended with final scores of 8-4.
The pair of Lauren Chypyha and Becca Bailey fell short to Erin Gebes and Rocio Diaz, 8-1.
Playing No. 1 Singles, Lauren Chypyha clinched the win in a third set tiebreaker against Ana Pimenta, 4-6, 6-2 (10-4).
In Burich's No.2 singles match against Erin Gebes, she rallied back from a 4-6 first set loss to claim the second set, 6-4. However, Burich would fall short in her third set tiebreaker 6-10.
The Badgers then went on to claim victory in three out of the four remaining matches. Tripolskaya dominated against Ali Dawson, 6-1, 6-0, in the No. 3 position. Rider won, 6-2, 6-4, against Laia Hernandez. Patel defeated Aina Hernandez, 7-5, 6-3.
In her first match back from a three-year break, and first-ever collegiate match, Bailey fell short to Rocio Diaz, 4-6, 1-6.
This match marks the first Wisconsin win for Samara and assistant coach Matt Manassee. "Any win is a good one," said. Samara. "It was nice to win especially with all the changes that have happened since the fall. Everyone played tough and it showed a lot of heart."
Up next, the Badgers will host Northern Illinois in the season home opener tomorrow, Sunday, Feb. 2, at 3 p.m. (CT) at the Nielsen Tennis Stadium.

Real Life Survivors
Stacey Strayer of Manchester Middle - $3,749
This initiative will be part of a Manchester Middle study skills class for students who have been retained and is designed to motivate students to improve their grades, work and study skills and behavior. Using play money as an incentive to achieve, students will earn money for the time they spend in school. Opportunities will be given to earn extra money, taxes will be deducted, rent will be charged for desks and fines will be levied for bad behavior. Students who save a certain amount each nine weeks will get a special opportunity, such as camping, rock climbing or a basketball game, which will further boost real-life survival traits, including team building and self-confidence.

City officials are encouraging residents to heed local water conservation ordinances that limit outdoor watering.
"Lubbock has plenty of water to take care of our needs today, but it is absolutely essential that we carefully manage and conserve our existing water resources," said Sandra Offutt, education coordinator for the City of Lubbock water utilities department.
Lubbock is currently in Stage 1 of the Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan which limits watering to two days per week with 1.5 inches of water between the hours of 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. while avoiding significant runoff. Watering lawns in the early morning and evening reduces the amount of evaporation.
"The goal of our community should be to ensure that every drop counts and is used for a beneficial purpose," said Offutt.
A violation of the ordinance could result in fines up to $200 per day, according to Stuart Walker, director of codes enforcement for the City.
"We will be issuing citations for violations of the water conservation code," said Walker. "For the past year, we have worked to educate property owners about the ordinance and answer questions regarding violations."
The most common violations observed by code enforcement officers include watering outside of prescribed time and faulty or broken irrigation equipment.
