Nuke mishap: update
The initial round of bioassays reportedly was good news for three workers contaminated Jan. 16 at the EnergySolutions waste-processing plant in Oak Ridge.
The containers with alpha materials, a legacy of DOE operations at the Portsmouth, Ohio, site, reportedly arrived in Oak Ridge in December, but weren't opened until a couple of weeks ago. The shipping manifest from the U.S. Enrichment Corp. apparently had incomplete or incorrect info, which may have contributed to the spread of radioactive powder.
Meanwhile, EnergySolutions spokesman Mark Walker said the Utah-based company still plans to import about 20,000 tons of radiaoctive waste from Italy and process it at the Oak Ridge facility. The application is pending with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
"Right now, it's just answering questions with the NRC as they have them," Walker said. "As we indicated before, it's a long process. Nothing really to update at this time. We're waiting to hear from the NRC on this thing."
An earlier report indicated the waste from Italy could begin arriving as early as April.
EnergySolutions made a presentation before the Utah Radiation Control Board in December, and another session is planned this month, Walker said. The residual waste from the processing operations would be shipped to Utah for disposal.
Tisha Calabrese-Benton, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, said the state has not heard anything from the NRC regarding the proposed project.

DENTON (UNT), Texas - UNT will receive accreditation reaffirmation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, according to an announcement made by the Executive Council of SACS' Commission on Colleges during its annual meeting this month.
A letter from SACS making the re-accreditation official is expected in early January.
Accreditation granted by a recognized regional accrediting body, such as SACS, provides an assurance of quality within higher education and signifies that a university or college meets a prescribed set of rigorous standards in its operations.
The council's decision certifies UNT's substantial compliance with 76 wide-ranging standards and requirements and officially accepts the UNT Quality Enhancement Plan.
"This is wonderful news. Accreditation from SACS is an important external measure of our quality," President Gretchen M. Bataille says. "I also was pleased the UNT QEP - which is an important plan for improving student learning in large classes - was endorsed. That is exceptional and speaks to the quality of our plan and our educational foundation."
UNT is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of SACS to award baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degrees. To remain an accredited institution, UNT will need to undergo the reaffirmation review again in 10 years.
"Many faculty and staff members across campus dedicated countless hours for nearly three years to ensure the university retained its accreditation, and I sincerely thank each one of them for their continuing commitment to our quality," says Howard Johnson, provost and vice president for academic affairs.

Vivian Girls have lead a girl group revival in the indie world.
Tonight doesn't offer a huge selection of live music, but there are a few solid picks, enough that I still haven't quite committed to a show. The Casbah and Soda Bar are both featuring indie bands that hit big on the blogosphere, so you're gonna have to make a choice where to ride your fixie. Vivian Girls have led the charge of a resurrection of girl bands, and they do it well. Beach Fossils hail from Brooklyn and do the fuzzed-out indie thing, with simple guitar lines and a touch of melancholy to their otherwise chill sound. Then, of course, there's always Stevie and the Hi-Stax over at Bar Pink if you just need to shake your thing and dance the Mondays out.

PCs can be set up to allow for physical limitations of the user
Getting old is no disgrace. It's just inconvenient at times.
I'm old so you can take my word: Some of the changes aging brings can make using a computer challenging at times. Type that's big enough for a younger person can seem tiny. Old age can also make in dent in our ability to hear, cause fingers to be less than nimble and — worse yet — create the false notion in our own minds that computing is a complicated affair beyond our reach.
I'm generalizing of course. Not all older people need additional help with computing. I know an ex-fighter pilot who started sky diving at 70 and uses a computer to create painterly graphics. My 91-year-old father-in-law knows more about online stock trading than I do. Besides there are young people with physical disabilities who face great challenges as far as using a computer. Today's tips can be a help to anyone in those groups, regardless of age.
We'll talk about ways a computer can be set up to compensate for common minor physical disabilities. And we'll stick with things that can be done with the built-in accessibility options that come free as a part of Windows. They can help a person navigate around minor disabilities. There are better resources and more capable programs for those with more profound disabilities — hardware and software that can put computing within the reach of almost anyone. Providing that kind of assistance is beyond my competence. We'll leave that for professionals in the field and talk instead about dealing with minor vision, hearing and mobility problems.
Eyes often get worse with age. Even bifocals or corrective surgery can't return vision to the way it was when young. For one thing the eye gets less elastic and has more trouble shifting from one distance to another.
Type size isn't much of a problem within word processing programs. All of them I've used let you easily change the type size used on the screen. And you can usually change the screen size without changing how the type will appear in a printed document. And most Web browsers let you tinker with how the page appears on your screen, including adjusting width and type size. That may be enough for some.
But Windows provides a program that lets you make more dramatic changes. I'll assume you are using Windows 7 as I explain how to do that. But almost all the features I'll mention today are available — in slightly different form in some cases — with Windows Vista and even XP. If my directions don't work for the version of Windows you are using, use the search feature in Windows Help and type in this word: access.
That same procedure, typing in the word — access — works in Windows 7 too. When I type that word in, I am given a clickable link to what Microsoft calls the Ease of Access Center. Click on it and you'll see an option to set the screen to high contrast. The high contrast setting can, for some people, improve the legibility of the screen. You'll also see an option called Start Magnifier. If you click on that option you can set it to either increase the size of all type, or to create a virtual magnifying glass that can be moved around to only magnify one small section of the screen.
What if that's not enough? If your eyes still can't quite make sense of things. Windows can be set to tell you — in a computerized voice — what's going on. For instance, if your mouse is hovering over a check box it'll tell you whether that box is checked or not. It can also read out loud the text you have on the screen — whether it comes from a website or document you've received, or one you're typing.
Here's how to get that program, called Narrator, working for you. Click on the Start button. That will open a small window that includes a search box. In that box type the word — narrator. You'll be able to set the program up to read aloud to you.
Now let's go back to the Ease of Access Center and get some help with mobility problems. You'll find options for making the keyboard easier to use. Some commands in Windows require that more than one key be held down at a time. Some people don't have the dexterity to do that. So turning on the feature called Sticky Keys lets you punch the command in one key at a time without continuing to hold each key down. Those who need help with mobility problems can check out all the possible settings at this Web address: http://tinyurl.com/62yfuud.
Now let's talk about help for the hearing-impaired. Some programs use sounds — perhaps a beep — to warn of errors or to signal that you've done something wrong. That same Access Center menu will let you set up Windows to show on screen that the beep has sounded.
There are other options in Access Center that are worth investigating. Even those with no physical challenges may find that some of them make working at the computer easier.
Spending a little time exploring the ways Windows can compensate for physical challenges is worthwhile. Being able to comfortably use a computer is especially important for those who may have physical challenges. The computer can let a person travel to places their legs can no longer take them — shopping, entertainment and paying bills can be done at the click of a mouse button.

By Christian Jennings - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A crime spree in Albany overnight has police asking the public's help to find the suspects. Albany police are looking for a man they say robbed a restaurant employee at gunpoint Monday night.
Police say around 11:45 a man ran in the Johnny Carino's on Kensington Court with a gun and demanded money from the assistant store manager, 30-year-old John Dykes. The suspect's face was covered with a bandana, sunglasses, and a dark colored baseball cap.
He got the money and ran out the door. Police haven't made any arrests.
They're asking you to call crime stoppers at 436-TIPS with any information.
A few hours after that armed robbery, someone broke into two Albany businesses, by cutting huge holes in the buildings.
The Coachman Park Grocery on South Jefferson Street was the first one hit around 3:30 Tuesday morning. The burglar used some kind of tool to cut a massive hole in the cement wall on the side of the business. Police say once the burglar was inside he tried taking a few items but failed to make it back out with the items.
Then around 5, the Bio Buzz store on North Slappey Blvd. was broken into the same way. A thief cut a hole in the back of the store and ransacked the business. Police say nothing was taken in that burglary either.

Questions & Answers
Vitra Tip Ton Side Chair
Tip Ton wins
faiza hanafi from Los Altos Hills, CA– Verified Buyer
When choosing any piece of furniture I look and form and function. After looking at numerous chairs - narrowing it down to a final four - I chose the Tip Ton as desk chairs for my girls rooms. The Tip Ton chair won because of its simple yet clever ergonomic design. The girls have been using the chairs for a few weeks now and give it a thumbs up!
Wonderful styling
Eliab Alvarez de la Campa from Cranford, NJ– Verified Buyer
I absolutely LOVE the look of this chair but going from an Eames Soft Padded chair to this was quite a change and significantly less comfortable. I decided to keep the Eames and am now using this to replace my keyboard bench, which for that purpose works well and looks infinitely cooler. ;)
Tip Ton is Tip Top
Sheila from Phoenix, AZ– Verified Buyer
Great computer chair- comfortable and lightweight. I can easily move it to different locations in the house when using the laptop.

Nothing shows how science changes like old textbooks. Here's a hobby—next time you're at a flea market or rummage sale, find Dad's or Grandma's old geology textbook. It's not hard to find items like Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin's 1914 classic Introductory Geology, or Harold Jeffreys's 1929 volume The Earth. And the first true text of geology, Sir Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology of 1830, is available in an inexpensive reprint or online.
In 1900, the texts had a great deal to teach about mountains (and beautiful line drawings of their structure). Mountains are exceptionally important for geology, and not just because that's where the rocks are. What keeps them high?
Almost everything on the Earth's surface is eroded, worn down by time and weather, turned to soil and sand. The rocks of mountains, too, are softened and crumbled into sediment, carried downhill by streams, slides, and glaciers, sifted into the oceans. Yet after billions of years, the mountains remain. What keeps building mountains is not obvious.
Arm-Wavers of Previous Centuries
Oh sure, volcanoes are mountains that build themselves. But most mountains are pushed upward, their rock beds wrinkled like bedsheets or tilted like stacks of newspapers. A hundred years ago, geology textbooks described mountains in detail, but couldn't explain them. In 1914 when Chamberlin got to that part of his textbook, what he had to say boiled down to some arm-waving about geosynclines, a 19th-century concept involving great piles of offshore sediments gradually accumulating, sinking under their own weight until something pushed them back up into mountains.
This was a slight improvement over James Hutton's first speculations in 1795, in Theory of the Earth with Proofs and Illustrations, that oceans and continents must slowly rise and fall to exchange positions, spilling sediments back and forth between them like a Slinky in your two hands. Between Hutton and Chamberlin, James Dwight Dana had shown that continents and ocean floors are made of very different rocks, which could never exchange places. (Dana also gave geosynclines their name.)
But mountains also expose evidence that large piles of solid rocks are shoved sideways along thrust faults, like scraps pushed by a janitor's broom, for dozens of kilometers. Chamberlin didn't have a good explanation for that either. It used to be thought that the Earth had shrunk as it cooled over geologic time, forcing the crust to buckle like an apple's skin as it dries. But by 1914 it was known that the crust made its own heat through radioactivity, and the Earth did not cool. So that theory was out the window.
From Arm-Waving to Hand-Wringing
By 1932, when Chester Longwell, Adolph Knopf and Richard Flint first published their Textbook of Geology, the problem of mountains was the subject of a whole chapter. "Why have sea floors of remote periods become the lofty highlands of today? What generates the enormous forces that bend, break, and mash the rocks in mountain zones? These questions still await satisfactory answers," they wrote.
The evidence was more and more puzzling.
- First of all, seismology showed that Earth is solid rock at least 1,500 kilometers down, which seemed to rule out large movements of the continents.
- Yet, second, in places like the eastern ranges of America, petrology made it clear that the rocks consist of sediments from still older mountains to the east—where nothing but the Atlantic Ocean stands today.
- Third, paleontology found that more and more fossils in widely separated continents are closely similar, and the theory that land bridges had risen for the ancient creatures to migrate on was looking clunkier as the evidence grew.
Continental Drift Prevails
Finally—and this was not entirely a scientific development—German meteorologist Alfred Wegener had popularized a bold theory in which the continents are moving around the Earth's surface like ice cubes in a punchbowl. It was the first true theory of Earth tectonics, a word meaning "large-scale architecture" that geologists borrowed (along with many other words from architects). Certainly Wegener had real evidence, but his books had so much speculation, too, that few people working in geology cared much for them, especially in America.
Thus Longwell, Knopf and Flint mentioned his theory of "continental drift" briefly, using quotation marks. And while they cited Wegener's book The Origin of Continents and Oceans in the reading list at chapter's end, they added a comment: "This book outlines the theory of continental drift and cites supporting evidence of several kinds. It is an entertaining volume." They were actually being kinder than most American geologists, perhaps because Wegener had recently died.
But Wegener had the right idea after all, if not the right theory. He saw the continents as chunky, iceberg-like objects that shouldered their way around, deep roots and all, like the blocks on a Rubik's Cube. The real Earth is too stiff and solid to work that way. Instead we have the 1960s theory of plate tectonics, in which the continents and sea floor alike cover the world in thin rocky plates that move fairly easily over a shallow layer where the rocks are relatively soft. The plates bump each other's edges in a slow-motion Demolition Derby, and that's where mountain ranges get their start. (See Plate Tectonics in a Nutshell for more.)
The textbooks quickly changed, and by the time I was in college, in the early 1970s, everyone was on the same page they're on today. Instead of the arm-waving and hand-wringing of the older texts, we have the straightforward explanation, "Mountain belts are typically formed by plate tectonic activity, specifically continental collision." It's been a great century.
PS: Plate tectonics does a good job of explaining the Earth's crust. Today, the arm-waving is about the deep Earth—the mantle and core. Here's a seven-part introduction to the mantle and a closer look at the core.

While "Prometheus" may have stolen the movie trailer fire over the weekend (see what we did there?), the week is kicking off with a bang as a new trailer for the highly anticipated "Snow White & The Huntsman" has arrived, and it promises to face the darker aspects of the story head on. After all, it is a bout a Queen who wants to eat a young girl's heart.
It's particularly interesting to note how dead-serious the tone of the film is considering how fun/silly (think the first "Pirates of The Caribbean" film) the first scripts out there were. This version of the "Snow White And The Huntsman" trailer focuses on the relationship between Snow White (Kristen Stewart) and the man hired to track her down in the dark forest (Chris Hemsworth) by the evil queen (Charlize Theron). And while the film does look "Lord Of The Rings"-ish in spots, we must say, the impressive look of the dark forest -- both the dark and sprite-like light side -- are very unique (someone like Guillermo Del Toro would be impressed with the faeries). We also get a better look at the dwarves who help out on the journey.
We also gotta say, this thing looks like they didn't scrimp on effects either. The budget on the movie must be at least $150 million, and whatever it was, director Rupert Sanders certainly spent it. Our only quibble here is that Charlize Theron continues to walk away as being far more interesting and compelling on screen than Kristen Stewart. Is it weird that we kind of want to see her come out on top instead of Snow White? Hopefully in the context of the film Stewart will be given a bit more of a chance to shine, but she continues to be second fiddle here -- a bit odd when her character is named in the title of the movie.
"Snow White And The Huntsman" opens on June 1st. Watch both the two and five minute trailers below [embed for 5 minute preview via Latino Review, trailer via XfinityTV].
Unindie | March 22, 2012 6:37 AM
I've never seen such ridiculousness in the comment area not to mention this psuedo review of the trailer. Since it is clear none of you know nothing about the script, Snow White is all through it. The Queen stands out because she's evil like Voldemort or Darth Vader. Evilness always stands out.
As for the British accents for you non-experts, Robert Pattinson who is British commended Kristen on her British accent. Not only that, she and Theron had one of the best dialect coaches in the WORLD named Barbara Berkery work with them regarding their British accents. So to say their accents are "all over the place" or any other negative connotation is Bull! You people are just hating because you don't like Kristen Stewart so let's call a spade a spade.
As for the score, James Newton Howard is the composer for the score. He is an Oscar winning composer in his own right and doesn't have to rip off anyone's music. Besides the trailer music is not necessarily the film's music...or haven't you learned that yet?
Kristen Stewart is not playing Second Fiddle to Charlize in this movie. Once you see the entire film or have at least read the script, IT'S ALL ABOUT SNOW WHITE. They are just not giving away the story. The scenes you are seeing are basically Charlize scenes in the entire film. It will be all about Snow White and the Huntsman trust.
Lest you snobs do not realize...but the trailer is not the movie.
Kristen's British accent is perfect and that's according to the British actors she's starring with as well. Nick Frost, Johnny Harris, Sam Claflin, Rupert Sanders all have commended her on her accent. So clean your ears. Her accent is perfect. She's not speaking Cockney. Duh!
The trailer played on The Voice and sent Twitter trending twice in one night. So even thought it doesn't appear that Snow White and the Huntsman isn't to popular with the people who follow this page, it's popluar in the rest of the world.
So keep on hating...because you all sound foolish.
DrDang | March 19, 2012 8:36 PM
I'm still not convinced. The way Charlize Theron says "all" creeps me out. And for God's sake stop so blindly ripping off Hans Zimmer. An original track would have been half the battle.
padre | March 19, 2012 6:44 PM
Interesting choice of music. And this looks flat out glorious. The official trailer is a bit choppy and I wonder how it plays for anyone who hasn't seen the extended preview first, which makes sense of it all.
paul | March 19, 2012 4:04 PM
i think stewart is playing second fiddle to charlize for a reason. who can attract more people? charlize will own this movie no doubt about that.
Kevin | March 19, 2012 2:22 PM
Yes, villains are often more compelling than the heroes. But Christian Bale at least has presence and you care about what happens to him. Kristen Stewart just looks like the oddball out here -- we're not really given any reason to invest in her plight at all.
hg | March 19, 2012 2:09 PM
playlist a villian 9 times out of 10 is always more compelling
ledger's joker was 100 times more compelling than bale's batman for example
KC | March 19, 2012 2:03 PM
"Our only quibble here is that Charlize Theron continues to walk away as being far more interesting and compelling on screen than Kristen Stewart."---> please explain to me how this is a quibble. This is fantastic news and very very expected. Only in delusion land does Kristen walk away as more interesting and/or compelling than Charlize badass Theron.
Oogle monster | March 19, 2012 2:01 PM
This looks fantastic. Still worried about K Stew- lots of lip biting and face scrunching going on. But my queen looks spectacular, fierce, and seems to be working at a higher level than everyone else involved- as usual. Thor man is not disappointing either.
Nik Grape | March 19, 2012 1:55 PM
Looks surprisingly fantastic. The Queen will clearly be the best thing about it. Charlize Theron really sinking her teeth into roles, becoming better and better as she gets older; she will rule this film. I'm liking the imagery, tone, atmosphere. Can't wait.
Nolan | March 19, 2012 1:09 PM
This is going to be a monster year for Charlize Theron.
marcus | March 19, 2012 12:45 PM
Looks good until you get to all the shots of KStew wondering around looking like a dazed mouth breather.
cirkusfolk | March 19, 2012 12:04 PM
Looks badass, plain and simple.
bs | March 19, 2012 11:42 AM
Let's see if the media will bash the accents in the film on the same level they bashed Anne Hathaway's accent in " One Day ? "
JoJo | March 19, 2012 9:32 AM
You guys are saying it takes itself seriously like that's a bad thing. I think it's important for this movie to establish a serious tone to distance itself from that train wreck of a movie, Mirror Mirror.
Glass | March 19, 2012 8:56 AM
Wait, so what'd you do there? (I kinda want to know if someone's trailer on a movie set caught on fire or something)
eays company | March 19, 2012 8:42 AM
accent?? who gives a fuck about the accent,this is a fantasy action-adventure movie-not a piece on queen elizabeth.
as for the budget thing,i heard i few times already that the budget is "only" 100 mill $.it just shows you what brilliant young filmmakers can do...
Kitcon | March 19, 2012 8:41 AM
One beauty to rule them all.
jasmine | March 19, 2012 8:33 AM
Those accents are all over the place. Theron's is hammy, from the land of Olden Timesville. Hemsworth's is a muddled mess. And Stewart is barely attempting one.
Looks great, but I have to agree that this seems to take itself VERY seriously.
Zoe | March 19, 2012 8:20 AM
Is that really shocking though? "Evil" or "Crazy" characters are often the more memorable. Think of Alice in Wonderland, I remember the Queen of Hearts or the Mad Hatter far more than I remember Alice.

A Columbus, Ohio man has been charged in federal court in Wheeling with ''Conspiracy to Possess with the Intent to Distribute Crack Cocaine", after authorities said the car he was traveling in was stopped for speeding on Interstate 70.
Authorities said John Allen,III,29 years old, allegedly had approximately six ounces of crack cocaine on him which has a street value of more than $10,000.
If he's convicted Allen could spend between 5 to 40 years in federal prison.
''This was the largest seizure of crack cocaine made by the Mountaineer Highway Interdiction Team since its inception in 2010, and it goes to show how this elite crime-fighting unit continues to have a positive impact upon Northern West Virginia,''said Captain James Merrill of the State Police.

What Makes Our Thermostat Click On And Off Continuously?
We have a 100 year old house. We had a new electric heating/cooling unit installed in the attic for our upstairs 4 years ago, and downstairs has the original gas furnace.
We have had several problems, seems I call the repairman every year for something. Our thermostat keeps clicking on and off, like doesn't even run a second and shuts off, clicks on again over and over. We just turned it off, and dh bougt a new thermostat and changed the air filter. Was fine for a while and then started up again. We've called the repairman for this in the past but I don't remember what they did/said. We've had three different thermostats now, don't think that's the problem??

Satay is an excellent dish for introducing kids to the flavors of the East. These skewers of grilled marinated beef and the spicy-sweet peanut dipping sauce have kid appeal from every angle. Slices of cucumber -- also delicious dunked in the peanut sauce -- and jasmine rice complete the meal.
To make the satay: If using skirt steak, cut the meat crosswise into 4 pieces, each about 4 inches long. Slice each piece across the grain into 4 strips 1 inch wide. Lightly pound the strips to flatten them. If using flank steak, halve the meat lengthwise, then thinly slice it across the grain into 30 to 40 1/4-inch strips. (Tip: Partially freezing the meat for 45 minutes makes it easier to slice).
Whisk the lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, dark brown sugar, garlic, curry powder, and crushed red pepper in a medium bowl. Add the steak and toss gently. Cover and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Prepare your grill or heat a grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates or pan.
Thread 1 piece of skirt steak, or 2 to 3 pieces of flank steak, onto the skewers, stretching each piece taut to maximize contact with the grill.
Grill the skewers until the steak is seared and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with the Peanut Sauce. Serves 4. SAFETY NOTE: If you plan to eat right off the skewer, be sure to use bamboo (not metal) to avoid burns.
To make the peanut sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Add the shallots, garlic, and Thai red curry paste and sauté over medium-low heat until the shallots and garlic are just tender and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, dark brown sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the lime juice and let the sauce cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 1 2/3 cups.

Forecast: Saints opener a big, hot mess
The Saints as some people in the South like to say, "A big hot mess." Penalties, turnovers, and confusion were the key ingredients in a 40-32 beat down. The most concerning thing about Sunday's game and the thing which should worry you the most is the secondary. Right now it's a fatal flaw. I'm not talking a keep-you-out-of-the-Super Bowl flaw, I'm talking keep you from the playoffs and will make you mediocre flaw. The Saints were without Jabari Greer and lost Johnny Patrick and proceeded to get burned to the ground.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - Leadership of county government in Chatham County is about to experience a heavy turnover as four new members of the county commission are fixing to take over.
The Savannah Morning News reports that longtime assistant county manager Pat Monahan is retiring early next month and county manager 70-year-old Russ Abolt is planning to retire in 2014.
Monahan said the new commission should take a cue from the current board. He said the new commissioners should immediately establish goals and figure out how they are going to achieve those goals.
The last day on the job for the 58-year-old Monahan will be Jan. 4. He became assistant county manager in 1985.
A regular marathon runner, Monahan plans to continue getting up early every morning to run and work out.

An Arizona court entered a not guilty plea for nine new and unrelated felony counts on the behalf of a man suspected in the murders of a Paradise Valley couple and a Phoenix cigar salesman.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 32-year-old Michael Crane was arraigned Thursday morning on counts of attempted second-degree murder, burglary, theft, misconduct with weapons, armed robbery, aggravated assault and attempted burglary.
The new charges stem from a burglary late last year and an armed robbery in early February. His next appearance in court is scheduled for Oct. 9.
Crane already is jailed and facing 15 other counts including first-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary, arson and auto theft.
He's pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the killings of Bruce Gaudet on Jan. 26 and of Lawrence and Glenna Shapiro on Jan. 30 in separate robberies.

UW Medicine and PeaceHealth have agreed to create a "strategic affiliation," with details to be spelled out by the end of September, Seattle Times health write Carol Ostrom reports.
PeaceHealth, a not-for-profit system based in Clark County and founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, operates nine hospitals and physician groups in Alaska, Washington and Oregon, and a Medicaid health plan.
Ostrom writes:
The two organizations said they will remain legally separate and independent, but critics of such affiliations noted that after Swedish Medical Center used such language in an affiliation with Providence Health & Services last year, it stopped doing elective abortions and closed its hospice service.
The U.S. Catholic Bishops' Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services restrict such services as abortion, birth control, sterilization and patients' rights regarding end-of-life treatment.
Seattle Times staff columnist Danny Westneat questions the growing role of the Catholic church in healthcare in Washington state.
By the end of this year, half of our state's medical system will be Catholic-run, as measured by number of hospital beds. That's the highest share in the nation, and rising fast — up from about 30 percent just last year. Somehow our godless state has become Ground Zero for faith-based medicine.
He asks:
We'd never turn our education system over to one church to run. Why are we doing it with health care?

I have not which makes me wonder if Fitchner has the inside track for the position. Also, does Miami hiring Philbin possibly take Clement off the board since he could get promoted to OC in GB? Fitchner makes some sense to me since he knows the players and personnel.
I am expecting the OC position to be filled by the Super Bowl but you never know.

10Lindsay Lohan Can't Even Close Her Mouth Anymore
Really, she can't. That's what this whole thing is about. Lindsay Lohan has done so many horrible things to her poor lips that they won't even shut. These pictures were taken last night, and that's the first thing I noticed when I saw them. How can she think that those look good? Seriously, check out those pictures where she's trying to close her mouth. It's not a great situation.
Other than that, I think Lindsay looks pretty great (for Lindsay). I actually kind of like her dress, and her shoes are kind of cute. But her makeup and hair look a little like what I was into when I was in the sixth grade. It's the random bobby pin and the glittery white eye shadow, and it takes me right back to my sixth grade dance. I wore this light blue silky shirt and this awful blue skirt, it was 90′s as hell, and yes, I had the bobby pin and the eye shadow. I was 11 though, so I didn't get to have all the collagen pumped into my lips. Small miracles, I guess.
But this is all just my opinion – except the part about Lindsay not being able to close her mouth, that part is just a fact – so tell me, what do you guys think about Lindsay's look?

are you kidding me? she looks terrible
Who cares about her lips. Look at her eyes – dead. That's sad.
Oh wow. What's with her tanner/bronzer?
and her hair is so greasy…
Poor thing. Her hair looks terribly greasy and the make up's horrible, and the dress is just so overdone. She's a star, you'd think she'd be able to look a bit more star-ish and less fresher's week-ish. (I don't even think you'll get that. I meant less whatever-ish).
Wow. That is so bad. SO bad. How does no one stop her from going out in public?
Wow. That is so bad. SO bad. How does no one stop her from going out in public?
Lookups flaird and swollen the top of her nose is. She's doing something that's evident.
Considering she now goes to every envelope opening, she should look better for the picture taking part.
her hair stylist(if there is one?) has to be kidding throwing in silky smooth beautiful extensions with that brittle ashy hair…have to be KIDDING

1230 Hendricks Avenue
Jacksonville, FL 32207
By Barbara Denman
July 9, 2012
Loudy Mortimer readily admits that as a "backslider," she had fallen away from the faith she once held dear.
When she visited New Covenant Fellowship Church in south Orlando, she found a pastor who "appealed to something inside of me," she said. But most importantly she found a church home where, "I could come just as I was."
"Coming as you are" is a tenet of the new church planted in 2011 as a multicultural congregation to meet the needs of the community, said Pastor Charles Jones.
"Come as you are but you will not stay the same way you come," he promises.
For Mortimer, who turned her life around and now teaches Sunday school to a growing youth class, as well as others in the congregation, the pastor's words have rung true.
When he planted the church, Jones envisioned it as a "hospital for the spiritually sick. We care less about people's pasts. We care about their future," he said.
To fulfill that, the church has tried to remove any barrier from acceptance or worship to create a place where "every nationality or race, regardless of color or socio-economic background can meet here freely," he said.
The openness extends to casual dress and non-traditional worship, which features a contemporary approach to music with keyboards, bass, drums and guitars.
In a year, the church that meets at the Freedom Middle School in Orlando's Hunters Creek community has grown to 225 members and 300 people in worship attendance who represent eight nationalities. Twenty new converts were welcomed into the fold during the month of February, alone.
For nearly a decade Jones had served as a youth pastor at the First Haitian Baptist Church in Orlando. But he discovered that younger Haitians no longer spoke the Creole language of their parents and grandparents. Nor were they fully engaged in worship and Bible study in the more formal, first generation Haitian congregation. He feared that they were losing the current generation.
So he was determined to plant a church that would be a place where younger families could be committed in their faith and express their faith in comfort. To accomplish that, worship services are conducted in English, but Bible teaching is offered in Spanish and French Creole as well as English.
Although Jones himself is Haitian, he said, "God didn't call me to be a Haitian minister, He called me to be a pastor to His people."
Florida Baptist church planting field missionary Ray Campbell has walked alongside the pastor in starting the new church. "The growth of the ministry is a result of the Lord working in the life of Pastor Jones as he learned of the spiritual need that was developing within the second generation of immigrants," Campbell said.
When he was "rebuffed in his efforts to get the mother church to make adjustments to meet these needs," Campbell said, "the Lord led him to plant a ministry for second generation English speaking Haitians."
Children's director Suzette Woods agreed that the church's strong foundation in this first year can be attributed in a large part to the efforts of Jones.
"He really is a go getter," she said. "Everyone he meets or comes in contact with he shares about the church and his faith."
Jones also urges members to invite friends, bring visitors and use their Facebook page to promote the church. He often gives prizes to members who bring the most guests.
While Woods, who serves as a Mission Service Corp volunteer, calls such methods "back to basics," the church also utilizes a more sophisticated approach through direct mail and marketing campaigns, evidence of Jones' professional acumen.
As a result, the children's area where Woods works is filled each Sunday with children as young families are drawn to the church.
For his role as pastor, Jones does not receive compensation, but relies on his salary as an investment officer with Regions Bank and his wife's salary as a nurse to support their family of five. Jones resigned from another banking position to work with Regions because the new job enables more time and flexibility to plant the church, even though it meant a 50 percent pay cut.
He credited Campbell and the Florida Baptist Convention, which provides the congregation with church planting financial assistance, for giving guidance and support. The Greater Orlando Baptist Association lent a helping hand with summer missionaries to help grow the church.
As he looks at the phenomenal growth of the past 12 months, Jones believes the church's philosophy has resonated with the community. "People are looking for a place where they can be accepted, where they can be loved and no one will judge them."

A former elementary school volunteer in Sandy who sexually abused a student will spend 35 years in prison.
Kenneth Cartlidge was sentenced Monday for charges in three sex abuse cases. He pleaded guilty in November 2012 to charges including sex abuse, using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct and rape.
He was arrested in September 2011 on sex abuse charges involving a child from the Oregon Trail School District in Sandy.
Investigators said he volunteered in the district, primarily at Firwood Elementary School, for two years.
He was supposed to be sentenced on Jan. 25, but authorities said he refused to cooperate with jail and court workers. The date was reset to Monday.
As part of his sentencing, Cartlidge also must register as a sex offender and faces post-prison supervision for life.

September 2, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) -- Moody's Investors Service says it may cut its rating on Penn State's credit as the university deals with the fallout from the Jerry Sandusky child sexual-abuse case and sanctions against the school's football team.
The agency has an `Aa1' rating on Pennsylvania State University's credit. That is its second-highest possible rating. The firm said a recent report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh and sanctions levied by the NCAA could hurt student enrollment and fundraising for the university.
Moody's says Penn State has about $1 billion in debt.
The announcement comes a day after the NCAA fined Penn State $60 million, banned the school from playing in postseason bowl games for four years, and stripped the team of dozens of scholarships.

2014 Outlook: The BYU Quarterbacks
BYU announced the transfer of back up quarterback Ammon Olsen to Southern Utah University on Tuesday.
Ammon played his first year at SUU prior to his mission and will join former BYU head coach Gary Crowton, who was named as the offensive coordinator for the Thunderbirds earlier this week.
Olsen's transfer puts added emphasis on keeping starter Taysom Hill (6-2, 221 Jr.) healthy and upright in 2014.
Hill shattered the school single-season rushing record for quarterbacks last year with 1,344 yards.
He also holds the career rushing record for QBs with 1,680 yards, and his 14 career rushing touchdowns is second only to Steve Young's 18.
Despite producing those impressive rushing numbers, there is some real concern about the number of carries and hits he took in the process. Hill had more rushing attempts last year (246) than pass completions (236). He averaged 19 carries per game and finished off the season by rushing 31 times for 133 yards in BYU's bowl loss to Washington.
Though Taysom is a big, strong guy, its bucking the odds to expect him to see that may carries and continue to avoid injury.
The bottom line is that he and the Cougars got lucky last year. They weren't so lucky in 2012 when Hill went down for the season with a leg injury. Putting your quarterback in harm's way nearly 20 times per game is asking for problems, especially after losing your back up.
For that reason, it's important that Hill develops himself as a passer. With the team shifting gears and players beginning their workouts in preparation for another spring practice, Hill has already addressed the need for him to improve that all-important area of his game.
"I want to improve my accuracy and decision making," Hill told BYUtv True Blue host Dave McCann last week. "As a quarterback, you are always constantly trying to improve on those (things) at any level."
Hill went on to say that he has reached out to a few quarterbacks who have played in the NFL in an effort to learn how to take the next step in his development.
During his sophomore season in 2013, he completed just under 55 percent of his throws for 2,938 yards, 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. In the first year of the go-fast, go-hard offense, Hill and the Cougars had issues sustaining drives and getting into the endzone. They finished 62nd in the country in redzone offense,
If the Cougars are going to consistently sustain drives and produce touchdowns in the redzone, Hill's completion percentage will need to push the 65-percent mark. His passing production will also need to be closer to 3,500 yards next season. Reaching those levels of performance in the passing game will also reduce the need for the offense to rely on Taysom's legs to keep the chains moving.
Green vs. Stewart
With the departure of Olsen, the battle for the back up job behind Hill will come down to a competition between Christian Stewart (6-2, 201 Sr.) and Billy Green (6-2, 206). Both saw action in one game last year, getting snaps in the Cougars' 59-13 win over Idaho State.
The decision to burn Green's redshirt year by playing him for a couple of snaps against the Bengals last season was a curious decision by the BYU coaching staff. He still has a redshirt season available to him, but he may not be able to take advantage of that next season, especially if he ends up as the back up.
Billy was a great player in high school in the state of Washington, but the fact that he played at a small school created questions about how well he can perform at the Division-1 level. Despite those concerns, he's been a winner and Bronco Mendenhall loves him as a player.
Stewart walked on to the BYU program for the second time in 2013. He originally walked on in 2008 before serving a mission to Japan. After his return from the mission field, he played two years at Snow College where he ended up as the nation's second-ranked quarterback following his sophomore season.
During last year's spring game, both Stewart and Green flashed some promise. This spring, the coaches will be looking for one of them to step up and claim the role as the second guy on the depth chart.
The QB pipeline
The heir-apparent at quarterback when Hill's playing career in Provo is over is fellow Idahoan Tanner Mangum (6-3, 200 Fr.). Tanner left for his mission to Chile this past summer and is scheduled to return to the program in 2015. He was considered one of the nation's top pro-style high school quarterbacks in the 2012 signing class and greyshirted during the 2012 season.
Oustside of Green and Mangum, there isn't really anyone in the pipeline. Alex Kuresa, who had more of a future as a receiver and return man, has returned home early from his mission and has since transferred to Snow College.
The Cougars have offered scholarships to duel-threat high school quarterbacks Ronald Monroe (6-4, 195) from Richmond, Texas, Kimane Domera (6-2, 190) from Portland, Oregon and Malik Henry (6-2, 175) of Westlake Village, California.
Monroe has committed to Washington State as a wide receiver, but is planning a trip to BYU just a few days before signing day. The Cougars are reportedly interested in him playing his preferred position of quarterback.

What is a Weed? Finding Appreciation
- At January 9, 2013

- In Herbal Blog

What is a weed? There was a time in my life when weeds were simply generic plants, unnamed and unknown. I used to drive down the street and hardly notice the "green carpet" that would buzz by me. The world consisted of people, animals, objects, and a sort of blur of green—plant life. They say that before we have the language or ability to name things, our eyes do not see them the same—or maybe we don't even see them at all! For example, have you ever learned something new, like what a new make/model of a car looks like, and then all of the sudden you see it everywhere you go?!
That was what happened to me when I learned about plants. First the world consisted of this "green carpet", and then all of the sudden I had discovered that, in fact, that green carpet consisted of individuals—ones that I slowly got to know and love as my curiosity spurred me on to learn more of their names, their uses, and their stories. Life was suddenly less lonely, as everywhere I went I was surrounded by individuals new and familiar. Individuals that often times had rich histories and stories attached to them, along with uses for my life. So, life was less lonely, but it was also like I was suddenly aware of this world of free treasure available for my picking—plants that could be used for food, medicine, bodycare, decorations, games, beauty… but how come nobody else seemed aware of this amazing treasure that surrounded them? Why isn't "what is a weed" asked by more people, more often? These are questions I am still trying to understand.
We have modernized. Our lives have become so much more convenient—I no longer, as a mother and homemaker, have to spend my entire days doing laundry by hand and making food for the household as my ancestors did—I can just go to the store to buy food, prepare it with my modern kitchen, and throw my laundry in the washer and drier. However, with these conveniences, has come disconnect. Most other people I know have NO IDEA what plants around them could be used for, let alone which are edible vs. poisonous. I wonder if they even see them at all.
When we think of useful plants, I think the first that come to people's minds are the few they may know because they have some use in their life. For example, a tomato plant produces tomatoes, and some people can recognize those plants if they see them without the tomatoes. Daisies are pretty familiar to most people, and it is because we have appreciated their beauty (or someone we know appreciated their beauty) and this taught us the form to look for, which we now recognize when we see daisies in gardens. But fewer and fewer people know even the plants that give us the largest contributions to our livelihoods, such as those that provide the basic foods we eat.
It isn't surprising, then to think that most people don't recognize the wild and often wonderful weeds that grow around them—be they the plantains that sprout on the side of the road which can be used for many things such as in calming salves and lotions for the skin or as a quick poultice to stop the flow of blood from a minor cut, or the dandelions that are sprouting in their lawns that make excellent salad greens and can be prepared as an herbal medicine to promote liver health.
What is a weed? To me, these plants are keys to what makes life worth living. I hope that others will open themselves up to the possibility or challenge of just learning a few plants and then see if the world becomes a different place. Attend an herbal school or simply go on an herb walk with someone who knows. We may not all turn into tree-hugging hippies, but at least maybe we can all learn to become a little more self-sufficient and appreciative. In these modern times, connection to nature is a truly healing experience in itself, and the added self-sufficiency can help us to become more self-reliant in case we ever want or have to get by without a grocery store at our fingertips.

Greetings and welcome to 2011. I hope your holiday season was as wonderful, emotional, and rewarding as mine luckily was this year. It was nice to get some time off from the shows on the Fan 590, but I'm always excited to get back and will be back tomorrow morning.
In addition to some time off, I was also fortunate enough to fill in for McCown on Prime Time Sports a couple days and had a blast doing it. Thanks to Bob for leaving the chair warm (custodial staff IS looking into that…), and thanks to his bountiful audience for treating me so nicely….it was nice to be on hearing from folks driving HOME from their jobs instead of driving around aimlessly, or sneaking a call in from their offices. As much as I've loved my new environment at Rogers and The Fan 590, I was thrilled to get asked to fill-in. I've said it before, Bob's the gold standard — and The Fan 590 really is the house that HE built by being so good at what he does. You need to believe me when I say that every day I get to mention his show is coming up next, is kind of an exciting moment for me, no question.
Now — this time of year also brings the World Junior Hockey Championships. I was 5 1/2 years old when they "officially" started in 1977. Pretty amazing evolution. The first tourney had eight teams, they all played each other once, and that was pretty much that. No national (or regional) television, no gold medal game, no ticket scalpers, and umm, Poland was in the tournament. Nothing against Poland — but…did I mention Poland was in the tournament? OK, I am now.
Slava Fetisov made that tournament's All-Star team. Yes, he was 18, but looked 33. Danny Almonte thought something was suspicious about "Papa Bear" and his birth certificate. Dale McCourt and future Leaf John Anderson led the tournament in scoring and Canada finished with a 5-1-1 record. The Soviets were a perfect 7-0, and many of the core of this team would be with the Soviet National team by the time they walloped the NHL All-Stars in the 1979 Challenge Cup, and the 1981 Canada Cup Final by an 8-1 score. They even beat the USA squad 15-5.
Canada would only pick up one bronze medal in the next three World Junior Championships, and that was at home the following year, when the tournament was held in Montreal in 1978.
It really hit the radar here in Canada the first time Canada won in January 1982, tying the final round-robin game in Rochester, Minnesota, against Czechoslovakia. That year's tourney was bizarrely shared by several cities in Minnesota, with some games being played in Winnipeg and Kenora.
I seem to recall the first tourney to get serious TV coverage (on CBC, before TSN or Sportsnet existed, obviously) was the 1986 tournament in Hamilton where the Canadians were led by Jim Sandlak, Shayne Corson, and Joe Murphy. In fact a few games were played in London that year, and being a massive fan of international hockey at an early age, I have no idea how I didn't con my dad into taking me to some of the games. Obviously the Piestany Punchout got a great deal of attention for the tournament itself and once the 1990s hit and Paul Romanuk began calling the games, the World Juniors really hit their stride and full and awestruck credit to TSN folks at the time, on-air and off-air, who decided it could become an iconic staple of their programming schedule.
But with the tournament almost 40 years old, it's fair to ask some serious questions about where it is now and where it will go. Though I'm a big Buffalo supporter and love the Western New York community, I'm not sure the tourney has "worked" there. Be it slower than usual ticket sales, teams like the Russians and Swedes playing to 30 percent or under capacity at Dwyer Arena in Niagara, or just a general lack of buzz when the extremely talented USA squad plays evening games in its OWN arena, something's not right.
As an example, I'm writing this ten hours before puckdrop for the Canada/USA semi-final – should be an amazing night, right? I can buy a $95 ticket online for face value on the Buffalo World Juniors website. Why is this? People have dropped $400-$500 in recent years at Canadian venues to scalpers or ticket brokers to get into such an affair, whether it's the gold medal game or the semi-finals. Are prices too high? Is the border-crossing that much of a hassle? People cross the Peace Bridge from Ontario to go to Target or Dick's Sporting Goods. Or 41 Sabres games! You can't tell me they won't do it for an affordably-priced piece of hockey history.
Next year's tourney is in Alberta — Calgary and Edmonton — it should be a raging success. In 2013, it's in Russia, where it WON'T be a raging success. I maintain the best thing that happened to the tournament last year was Team USA winning. The more forward-thinking Canadians might have been disappointed not to win a 6th straight gold medal seem to comprehend that the tournament needs: a) to find successful homes outside the Canadian border for hosting it, and b) Canada can't win every year. The sports fan loses interest in anything that's predictable. Take USA basketball — when Greece 2004 was a total disaster (thank you, Larry Brown), the great players finally decided they ALL (not just a few) wanted to play again. The World Juniors was and may still be risking becoming a tournament only WE as Canadians care about (I know, I know, many of you think it's there already but you embrace it nonetheless) and once that fully comes to fruition, it'll be a tournament only we send our best players too. Although watching Team USA play, you get the sense they're here to stay and will start being the more consistent threat than the Russians on the junior level as well as the adult level.
These are all valid questions and concerns but there's no great solution one way or the other. I don't know how you MAKE nations care about a sport or be better at a sport without funding injections or resource-sharing. Similar to men's soccer, once the United States spent money, improved their NCAA system, and got good on the world stage, they were never coming back to Canada's level, and they never will. Same as women's hockey, which has provided, in my mind, some VERY entertaining and amazing moments on the world stage at the Olympics, but the game will stagnate if countries like Sweden, Russia, and Finland don't get more women playing hockey at a grassroots level, and developing them (either over there, or through NCAA means) when they become elite. It's the only hope the game has.
Lastly, it's so laughable to see members of the women's hockey community take shots at this tournament and a few lopsided scores, given their own game internationally is in such jeopardy. Never mind that an 8-1 Canada/Slovakia score in the World Juniors on an entertainment/value level can't even be compared to watching the Canadian women wax China 8-1 in an Olympic Women's tourney or a world championship. That's an argument they know they'll never win.
Canada and Team USA outscored their female counterparts at the Olympics 86-4 in 8 games…an average score of just under 11 goals to, umm, a half-goal. And they want to trash THIS tournament in terms of competitive balance. What a joke.
I was in attendance at the USA/Sweden women's semi-final in Vancouver last February. Just a dreadfully boring, antiseptic sporting event. Sweden BEAT USA in the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics, but this was so lopsided. You'd never find a quarter-final game in a women's tournament that had the energy, human drama, or passion that Russia/Finland had last night (the Russians coming from 3-1 down after 56 minutes to win in overtime), not in a million, trillion years. So honestly, ladies, don't compare apples and oranges. Your tournaments aren't in the same universe in terms of entertainment value — keep working on that "pro league" thing that people like Hayley Wickenheiser feel the women's hockey community is "owed". And no, one isn't a sexist because the only women's hockey that matters to them involves either friends, family, or Canada v. USA for a gold medal, they're simply a discriminating consumer.

It's a bit cliche to say that life has its ups and downs. But most people would agree -- it does. Add a new dimension into your life -- such as arthritis or another illness -- and the ups and downs can feel like you are on a perpetual seesaw.
The ups and downs of living with arthritis are the most difficult aspect of arthritis to grasp. Specific arthritis symptoms -- such as pain, stiffness, redness and warmth -- are tangible, understandable, and explainable. But the variable nature of chronic arthritis is nearly impossible to explain to others who do not live with the disease and frustrating for the person who does.
Can't Put Two Good Days Together
There is a lot of great advice out there for arthritis patients -- pace your activities, manage your disease the best you can, surround yourself with emotional support, don't let the disease define you.
But there is little, other than your own experience, that can guide you through the ups and downs of living with chronic arthritis. Imagine a day when you feel your pain is well-controlled, you feel well-rested, productive, and in charge of your life. Imagine other days that are just the opposite -- your pain is not well-controlled, you are fatigued, can't concentrate enough to get much done, and your disease is controlling your life.
It goes without saying that you would do whatever you could to have more good days than bad. But at times, even with you doing all the right things, the disease disappoints.
Best Laid Plans
Perhaps the biggest frustration comes when you plan out activities well ahead of time. Even with planning and preparation, when the time comes, you can't pull it off. On the day of a planned activity, your arthritis symptoms flare up or you are just too tired to carry out the plan. There is only one bit of advice regarding best laid plans -- know that it is going to happen from time to time -- that plans can't be carried out. Know this and accept it. It's part of living with arthritis.
Saving Chores for the Up Days
It makes sense that you should save bigger chores or projects for the days you feel better. The problem with this is that since you can never be certain of when or how many "up days" you will have, too much gets saved and it becomes unmanageable.
Once you fall behind on chores or other projects, you have to work hard to not become overwhelmed by what is still not done and what's left to do.
The Seesaw Effect of Living With Arthritis
Since there is so little predictability tied to living with arthritis, a seesaw is a perfectly appropriate analogy. On a seesaw, you are either up, down, or in balance. To maintain the balance with arthritis:
- Realize you will have ups and downs with arthritis.
- Adjust and adapt to those moments that bring you down.
- Realize that while arthritis does not define you as a person, it defines your life.
- Battle the unpredictability of arthritis with flexibility.
Flexibility is essential to living well with arthritis. Allow yourself to be flexible. Don't consider flexibility giving in to the disease or giving up. Instead, look at flexibility as a survival technique. Being flexible is a must-do.

In tonight's football, Exeter City played host to Accrington Stanley in a game scheduled for Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon to attract a wider range of fans.
It certainly went the Grecians' way at St James Park. It was goalless until the 79th minute but two goals in quick succession from Jimmy Keohane gave them a 2-0 win and a welcome boost to their promotion campaign.

A few people have requested a full depth chart for the Montreal Canadiens this year that can be referred back to, so I mocked one up.
The schedule came out last week, now it's time to go through it in detail.
Tomas Plekanec was completely under-appreciated last season as David Desharnais ran away with the glory in an offensive role. Now that Pleks has some healthy linemates, have things changed for him?
It looks like 3 potential players have survived the last series of cuts at Habs camp.
What went wrong? What went right? Well we don't know, but here are some of the things we could be writing about in several months.
According to media reports, Kaberle has come into camp in much better shape than he was in last year, how big of an effect can that have?
It's been a long time since we looked through the Habs roster to see where we stand, who's in and who's out from last season? Click to find out.
When the news broke on Saturday night about the schedule, we brought it to you, but we didn't really go over it in depth. Let's change that, shall we?
TSN's Scott Cullen put out a projection of the offensive output of the top 300 players in the NHL for the upcoming season. How does he think the Habs will do?

The New year will bring in a bit of prosperity for thousands of minimum wage workers in Rhode Island, about a thirty–five cent increase to hit on New Year's day.
The minimum wage of seven dollars and forty cents will rise to seven dollars and seventy–five cents
an hour. Many workers are excited about the increase saying, it will help families who are struggling. One worker telling ABC6, "You really can't make living, even if you're a teenager, trying to live off of 6 or 7 dollars an hour, after taxes and everything". Michael Manni, owner of LaSalle bakery says he's happy to see workers get the increase, but it will have a negative impact on small business owners.Manni says,
"It's definitely going to affect the bottom line, it's not going to break us but everything that we buy goes up and our prices have to reflect that.
The minimum wage increase will go into effect January the first,no matter what develops with the fiscal cliff.If a deal does not go through,the minimum wage increase will become a wash because wage earners may have to pay more in taxes. And, that's in the hands of congress.

Say what you want about Chief Keef, but he sure knows how to pick a beat. The bearded brothers of MMG, Rick Ross & Stalley, agree and take a turn over one of the Chicago hitter's best selections in their "Love Sosa" freestyle. Ross sounds typically comfortable over the Young Chop-produced trunk rattler. Stalley sounds typically uncomfortable.
Far be it from me to pigeon-hole anybody, especially artists I enjoy and respect like Stalley, but I don't think I am reaching by saying that the Ohioan's post-MMG output has been inconsistent at best. Here's hoping that his next release strikes a comfortable balance between the intelligent trunk music that initially caught fans' ears and his star turn on "Party Heart."
Free Sosa!

"I used to practice Tony speeches in my bathroom with my hairbrush," McDonald tells interviewer Mo Rocca in the upcoming segment. "I wish I could make that up."
The practice evidently paid off. McDonald has won five of the coveted awards and was nominated again this year for her portrayal of the pioneering jazz singer. McDonald says she spent a year-and-a-half researching the life of Billie Holiday before tackling the one-woman production at Circle in the Square.
"But eight months ago, once I discovered all of these recordings of her rehearsals of her speaking, where she's been drinking and she's just with her band or her close friends and she really lets loose, her speaking voice is very similar to my grandmother's," McDonald says. "I thought, 'Oh, she sounds like Nana when she speaks. Maybe that's my way in.' And through that, I ended up finding her singing voice."
"And all of those sort of domestic things that she craved and wanted desperately, I'm fortunate to have," McDonald tells Rocca. "I'm the luckiest person I know."

PINEVILLE, Ky. (WATE) - Two teenagers were arrested Wednesday following an investigation into several cows being shot on Bell County farms.
Bell County sheriff's deputies charged the teenagers with shooting more than 20 cows on March 27.
The teens are being held in the Adair Juvenile Detention Center. Because of their age they have not been named.
Bell County Sheriff Bruce Bennett says the teens face two felony charges and several misdemeanors.
The owners of the cows said the slaughter was disturbing and devastating.
"Most of them were shot in the face or head somewhere," Carroll Gibbons told 6 News last week.
Gibbons said nearly a dozen of his cows were slaughtered.
Evidence at the scene indicated the suspects used a four-wheeler to reach the cattle.
Bell County Sheriff's Department Deputy Shane Stewart said the suspects drove to several different places to kill cows.
The cows were shot on land leased by the farmers in an industrial park.

Today is Laetare Sunday, the Fourth Sunday in Lent. We've passed the midpoint of Lent, and the Church offers us a little break today, substituting rose vestments for the penitential purple usually used during the Lenten season and reciting the Creed for the first time since Ash Wednesday.
If our Lenten fasting has been strenuous, now is the time for a little celebration; if we still haven't quite hit our stride, now is a good time to redouble our efforts, starting with Confession. St. John Chrysostom, in a famous Easter homily which is still read in Eastern Orthodox and many Eastern Rite Catholic churches on Easter, reminds us that it is never too late to get our spiritual house in order--both the man who has fasted from the beginning of Lent and the one who only fasts for a day or so at the end share in the joy of Easter.
In the Scripture Readings for the Fourth Week of Lent, we see the institution of the Old Testament priesthood, which, unlike the eternal priesthood of Christ, passes away. The sacrifices of the priests of Israel, too, need to be repeated again and again, but Christ's sacrifice is offered only once, then made present again on the altar at every Mass. The contrast reminds us that the Promised Land that we strive for, unlike the one to which Moses led the Israelites, will never pass away.
Laetare, the first word (in Latin) of the Introit or entrance antiphon for this Sunday, means "Rejoice." Drawn from Isaiah 66:10-11, the entrance antiphon is an expression of our joy:
Rejoice, Jerusalem! Be glad for her, you who love her; rejoice with her, you who mourned for her, and you will find contentment at her consoling breasts.
This little reminder of our heavenly destiny refreshes us, as we prepare for the final three weeks before Easter 2014.
