MN Senate race - Day 1 of the trial complete
The trial of the Minnesota U.S. Senate election contest began today. Each side gave lengthy opening arguments. Coleman's attorney began and emphasized in his statement that the absentee ballots were by far the biggest issue and it will likely be dispositive. He only briefly addressed the original/duplicate and missing ballot issues. Franken's attorney refuted the Coleman camp's assertion that Minnesota officials had violated the rule of Bush v. Gore by treating absentee ballots in a non-uniform manner from county to county. He characterized the case as requiring "some assurance that the rudimentary requirements of fundamental fairness are satisfied". Coleman's first witness was the political director for his campaign. Franken's attorney questioned her about copying errors made in Coleman filings that include absentee ballot envelopes. The day ended with the 3-judge panel interrupting the testimony of Coleman's second witness so they could discuss Coleman's plan to have ballots provisionally accepted by the court based on the photocopies of the ballots. The court sustained an objection by Franken attorney Marc Elias which cited the best evidence rule in seeking to stop the admission of evidence in this manner. The court denied a motion by Coleman last week to order the counties to deliver all rejected absentee ballots to the court but, today it determined that the Coleman campaign must obtain a fresh copy of the ballot envelopes from local officials. In a press conference outside the court, Coleman's attorney indicated that copies of all 12,000 rejected absentee ballots will now need to be delivered to the court. It is unclear how much time the Coleman camp will be allowed to gather these documents. Franken has made a motion in limine to limit consideration of rejected absentee ballots to the 654 that Coleman mentioned in his notice of contest. See the motion here and Coleman's response opposing the motion here. See the Coleman v. Franken case page here. Throughout the proceedings and in statements to the press today, Coleman and his team said that they seek to have all votes counted but only once. Franken's team, on the other hand, said that Coleman was the one who originally wanted to keep the wrongly rejected absentee ballots out of the recount. Coleman's position now appears to be that absentee voting is a right and not a privilege and that technical errors should not keep a ballot from being counted. This is similar to Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy's argument in the Skaggs case over the counting of provisional ballots in the OH-15 Congressional race. See the Star Tribune coverage here.

Supreme Overlord of the mighty Cantstandian Empire!
I just marched my army into the Cannibal base, and took over. Every time one of their patrols comes home with a new victim, I destroy them.
Don't you think after 500 years or so, they'd figure it out? Dunno where they GOT the horses though.
No point. SC 2 ruined Starcraft modding for me. They made it so that mods no longer exist, only modified maps. Completely destroyed my will to continue this. Sorry.
Though if you really want to try it, I believe .06 or .07 is the most complete version.
I won't be playing it, if it's browser based. Sorry, but it's just not for me.
Should work with the newest. Haven't tried it in a long while though. It's not done. Sorry, but life happened, and I've not been able to get back to it.
I loved the controls...lol
If I had anything to contribute to the mod, I gladly would! I know alot about lore, but that's all I've got. KEEP GOING!
This is a game, not a mod, just so everyone knows. It's got nothing to do with Mechwarrior 4 directly.
No. It's stand alone.
I run a 40k RP forum, it's got information used for RP purposes, but if any of it's helpful to you, feel free to ask. I'm not going to post the link here, because I'm not trying to advertise on your page. If you're interested in pre-researched weapons and stuff, just send me a message. I'll find it eventually.
Indeed! I agree! Indie games are often better, but overlooked. Advertise!
There's a Timberwolf/Madcat mech! Awesome!
The Empire of the Rising Sun would be awesome as a playable faction.
Elephants. Sorry, this discussion was getting irrelephant.
Xenos scum! Tech heresy! *blam*
They look freaking AWESOME!
Only that MekTek's handling it now...and that was SUPPOSED to make it come out faster, but it seems to have had the opposite effect. They're also busy releasing Mechwarrior 4.
Hey! That's my middle name! Maelstrom. lol
Yeah...I can understand that. I followed this for a very long time before it came out.
""Where/when is it set?"
I'm not telling you."
Bought this game a while back. :D
I look forward to it!
Edit: I still want guns (or a mod with guns), and Lan support though!
What about now? :D
Can you really get overpowered in the 40k universe?...There's always something bigger...
Why would you recommend other people stay away from mods that are more than one part, just because you don't like it? Not everyone feels the same way. Sometimes, for whatever reason, it's necessary.
Still ****** me off that I bought Crysis to play this game way back when...and now I need to buy Crysis Wars, if I want to play it...which I'm not going to do...It was a great mod, but it's left me behind.
Or people need to learn to pilot their mechs better...
I come in peace *shoots you through the head*

Caleb TerBush passed for two touchdowns and ran for another to help Purdue defeat Eastern Michigan 54-16 on Saturday afternoon.
Akeem Hunt ran for 106 yards and a touchdown on just four attempts and scored a 50-yard touchdown on his only catch. Brandon Cottom ran for 95 yards and Antavian Edison caught five passes for 78 yards for the Boilermakers (2-1), who were coming off a last-minute 20-17 loss to Notre Dame.
Purdue's defense was stingy again, holding the Eagles to 313 total yards. Eastern Michigan's only touchdown before the fourth quarter came on a 28-yard interception return by Pudge Cotton in the second quarter.
Dominique Sherrer led the Eagles (0-3) with 12 carries for 73 yards.
The Boilermakers gained 576 total yards and ran 42 times for 392 yards.

Engine Overheat Problems of Ford Escape
Ford Escape owners have reported 2 problems related to engine overheat (under the engine and engine cooling category).
#1 - Engine Overheat problem of the 2013 Ford Escape
Vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle is 1FMCU9GX2D_. My Ford Escape 1. 6l engine will overheat if I park it by the beach all day & then try to drive over the foothills to the valley. This is a consistent and repeatable problem. I have two videos that I showed Ford but apparently they can't fix it. This car is not safe to drive since my car can overheat when I'm on a road like highway 17, which doesn't have a shoulder. The failure date was Wed., May. 1, 2013.
See all problems of the 2013 Ford Escape.

From office of McKool Smith, Attorneys
TYLER – A final bankruptcy plan submitted on behalf of Lon Morris College by attorneys from the Texas offices of McKool Smith has been confirmed by Judge Bill Parker of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Tyler.
The 158-year-old Methodist college, Texas' oldest junior college, filed for bankruptcy protection last summer amidst a severe liquidity crisis that saw school employees miss three payroll periods and an interruption of the school's utilities services.
Attorney Hugh Ray III of McKool Smith and Dawn Ragan of Bridgepoint Consulting have guided the school through the bankruptcy process.
"This is an important step in satisfying Lon Morris College's debts and ensuring former employees are paid for their work in furtherance of the school's mission," says Mr. Ray. "Much credit goes to Dawn Ragan for her work with creditors and foundations to get this plan confirmed, and to Judge Parker for his patience and direction during this process."
The bankruptcy plan was confirmed following a February 4 hearing where Judge Parker praised the work of Mr. Ray and Ms. Ragan, saying he recognized and appreciated the many hurdles that were overcome in order to reach the plan approval stage.
"We always believed that a workable plan could be achieved based on the shared goals of all parties involved," says Ms. Ragan, who served as the school's chief restructuring officer. "We could not have accomplished what we did without the support of many people, including the few remaining employees who are continuing the school's charitable mission."
Previously, Mr. Ray and Ms. Ragan negotiated a significant interim payment for former Lon Morris College employees who had not been paid for their final weeks of work. At last week's hearing, the college announced agreements with several Methodist foundations that are expected to result in former employees receiving all the back wages they are owed, pending approval by the foundation boards and their regulatory agencies. The Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church organized an earlier humanitarian appeal that generated enough funds to cover one missed payroll for the school's former employees.
Oklahoma-based AmeriBid worked with Mr. Ray and Ms. Ragan to complete a recent auction of the college's 112-acre campus in Jacksonville. Purchases by the Jacksonville Independent School District include land intended as the site for a new elementary school that will generate jobs and spur additional commerce in the Jacksonville area.
Under the approved plan, the school's unsecured creditors, other than those owed wages, will receive financial recoveries over time as the school's representatives continue to liquidate claims, sell assets and collect on insurance policies, all of which are expected to produce several million dollars.

Since 2010, to me, was the strongest year for movies in a good while I figured it'd be a good idea to see what some of my fellow TC members favorites were. I'm a huge movie nut, see about 100-120 movies a year.....which is easy with a lack of a social life.
1. The Social Network
Interesting through every frame and clicks on every aspect of filmmaking. Incredibly sharp screenplay, top-notch directing and acting, and some of the best pacing in recent memory from a Hollywood production. The pacing is what makes this such a beautiful watch, imo.
2. Four Lions
The funniest movie since last year's 'In The Loop', which was also done by the same filmmakers. It's not as funny as the former, but easily the funniest movie of 2010.
3. True Grit
The Coens can do no wrong in my eyes. Which means that my eyes have forgotten about Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers, but these guys are two of the most consistently awesome filmmakers in the history of film. Never liked the original, and I may be bias but Bridges blew Wayne out of the water here. I'm not as high on Hailee Steinfeld as a lot of others though. It was a perfectly adequate to above-average performance from anyone her age, I just disagree with awards circuits feeling like they have to heavily consider every 14-or-under actress in a Best Picture candidate. Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and the always reliable Barry Pepper round out what's probably my second-favorite ensemble of the year. Incredibly fun watch....
4. Catfish*
I don't know how much was authentic and how much of it was staged, but what I do know is that it's completely impossible for a lot of the emotions I witnessed in this to be fake, especially on Angela's end. I went in to this with little expectation and came out at a loss for words. Haunting at times and rewarding at others, it's something I'll never forget seeing. And the music choices were fantastic.
5. Blue Valentine
This is ranked high based almost entirely on the two lead performances, which were two of the most naturalistic I've ever seen. It's depressing throughout, but I can't say enough about Michelle Williams and especially Ryan Gosling in this movie. I just wish the 'Revolutionary Road' comparisons would stop, BV is 10 times the movie RR is.
6. The King's Speech
Much like The Social Network, it's the pacing that elevates this movie. I've never been a big fan of period pieces and the subject matter didn't exactly make me want to run out to see it, but I thoroughly enjoyed Rush and Firth here, excellent chemistry from two of the most reliable actors in the business.
7. 127 Hours
If it weren't for James Franco this never would've made my top 10. Boyle pulls out every trick in the book to fill the movie up with enough screentime, and it surprisingly doesn't hamper the final product. The split screens fit in well with the atmosphere, gorgeous cinematography(which is expected in a Danny Boyle film), but it's Franco that makes it special. He went from one of my least favorite actors to someone I look forward to over the past 3 years with solid turns in Milk, Howl, and Pineapple Express.......but he blew me away here. Not sure if it's enough to entrust him to direct 'Blood Meridian' though, really worried about that.....
8. Black Swan
9. Get Low
Duvall and Murray are two of my favorite actors, both in top form here. I figured it would end up in my top 10 as soon as the movie was announced.
10. Animal Kingdom
HM: Another Year, Toy Story 3, Uncle Boonmee**, The Way Back, Winter's Bone, The Kids Are All Right, Inception, The Ghost Writer, How To Train Your Dragon, Shutter Island, The Fighter, The Town, Made in Dagenham, Restrepo*, Exit Through The Gift Shop*, Incendies**, Biutiful**, Temple Grandin, Rabbit Hole, Carlos**, Barney's Version, Jack Goes Boating, and Of Gods and Men**
Top overall performances from 2010:
1. Ryan Gosling - Blue Valentine
2. Christian Bale - The Fighter
3. Michelle Williams - Blue Valentine
4. Javier Bardem - Biutiful
5. James Franco - 127 Hours
6. Colin Firth - The King's Speech
7. Robert Duvall - Get Low
8. Natalie Portman - Black Swan
9. Andrew Garfield - The Social Network
10. Jacki Weaver - Animal Kingdom
11. Claire Danes - Temple Grandin(didn't feel right not including her)
So by all means, agree, disagree, make a list, do whatever. But DO NOT list I Love You Phillip Morris in your top 10, I will hunt you to the death.

Aviation Security:
Progress Made in Systematic Planning to Guide Key Investment Decisions, but More Work Remains
GAO-07-448T: Published: Feb 13, 2007. Publicly Released: Feb 13, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), established in November 2001, has developed and implemented a variety of programs to secure the commercial aviation system. To implement these efforts, TSA funding related to aviation security has totaled about $20 billion since fiscal year 2004. Other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components, such as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), also play roles in securing commercial aviation. In this testimony, we address the efforts TSA has taken or planned to strengthen aviation security, and the challenges that remain, in three key areas: airline passenger prescreening, airline passenger and checked baggage screening, and air cargo screening. GAO's comments are based on issued GAO reports and testimonies and our preliminary observations from ongoing work on TSA's passenger checkpoint screening procedures and technologies, and staffing standards for Transportation Security Officers (TSO).
DHS and TSA have undertaken numerous initiatives to strengthen the security of the nation's aviation system, and should be commended for these efforts. However, more work remains. Meeting the congressional mandates to screen airline passengers and checked baggage alone was a tremendous challenge. Since that time, TSA has turned its attention to, among other things, strengthening passenger prescreening; more efficiently allocating, deploying, and managing the TSO workforce; strengthening screening procedures; developing and deploying more effective and efficient screening technologies; and improving domestic air cargo security. Some of the actions taken by TSA in these areas were in response to GAO recommendations. For example, consistent with GAO's recommendation to strengthen checked baggage screening, TSA has developed a strategic planning framework and identified several funding and financing strategies for installing optimal checked baggage screening systems. While TSA has undertaken numerous efforts to strengthen aviation security, GAO found that DHS and TSA could strengthen their risk-based decision-making efforts and collaboration with stakeholders. For example, as TSA moves forward with Secure Flight--TSA's prospective domestic passenger prescreening program--it will need to employ a range of program management disciplines, which we previously found missing, to control program cost, schedule, performance, and privacy risks. TSA has put in place a new management team, but it is too early to know how this change will affect the program's development. In addition, while TSA has tested some proposed modifications to passenger screening procedures at airports to help determine whether to implement the changes, GAO identified that TSA's data collection and analyses could be improved. GAO also found that limited progress has been made in developing and deploying technologies due to planning and funding challenges. For example, limited progress has been made in fielding explosives detection technology at passenger screening checkpoints, and while TSA has begun to systematically plan for the optimal deployment of checked baggage screening systems and to identify funding and financing strategies for installing these systems, the agency has identified that under current investment levels, installation of optimal checked baggage screening systems will not be completed until approximately 2024. Additionally, the federal government and the air cargo industry face several challenges that must be overcome to effectively implement technologies to inspect air cargo, such as ensuring that air cargo can be inspected in a timely manner to meet the delivery time frames of air carriers. GAO also found that more work is needed to fully implement a risk-based approach to securing air cargo, including finalizing a methodology and schedule for completing assessments of air cargo vulnerabilities and critical assets. TSA stated that the agency intends to perform a vulnerability assessment of U.S. air cargo operations and activities, as recommended by GAO, and plans to complete this assessment in 2007.

… Prometheus… Two arms up!!
When Mr. Amazing and I were dating I told him I looovveeedd scary movies, and we went through a time when he tried to show me scary movies… all of which I hated…(Pandorum being the movie I hated most of all) … I in turn showed him anything and everything by Wes Craven… Stephen King…. etc… and he just rolled his eyes and we agreed that we liked scary movies for different reasons… I dont like being scared… I like the warped sense of humor that comes in those movies… Seriously… Freddie Krueger… being my all time favorite.
Mr. Amazing would regale me with tales of hiding from his parents behind the couch to watch "Alien" and being absolutely terrified … I of course having an older brother had seen it… but it had been so many years I couldn't remember anything but the alien coming out of Sigourney Weavers faux uterus… so we watched it.. and mr. amazing prepared to laugh as I shrieked and screamed… I laughed through the whole movie… to the point of tears when the creepy robot man melted… Much to the dismay of Mr. Amazing… WOW thats a hell of a lead into Prometheus… but I must say it was required because there was a lot of pressure on this movie date this weekend…. He so wanted it to be everything alien wasn't… he didn't want me to laugh…. oh my hell… I laughed… and laughed… the entire audience was laughing… and we kept rolling our eyes … and saying "ridiculous"… but were still completely enraptured with the scenery… and the gruesomeness… and then we jumped in our seats a little… and had some nostalgic feel good moments…. questioned the existence of God… and laughed again as some people died… because well… you will just have to see it for yourself… and that is the whole point of this really… see it for yourself… because at the end of all of the "oh my gods" and "oh puhleezes"… I realized that it was probably one of the most entertaining two hours all weekend… and I loved it… and Just like I dont like Freddy for scary… I dont like prometheus for a good alien flick (there isn't a good alien sci fi flick as far as Im concerned… other than Star Trek) But that it was awesome.. and warped.. and a lot of fun! (btw. The opening 10 minutes of the film in Imax 3d were AMAZING!, absolutely breathtaking)

By Mark E. Vogler
---- — NORTH ANDOVER — Soon after an earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, Steven M. Daly raised thousands of dollars throughout the Merrimack Valley to help buy shelters for those left homeless in the Caribbean country.
"Steve truly embodied the giving and sacrificing spirit that is Rotary," Susan Rochwarg, president of the Rotary Club of North Andover, said yesterday in a note she posted on the club's website, which eulogized Daly as an "exemplary Rotarian."
Daly, 61, of 162 Bradford St., died after his motorcycle collided head-on with a lumber truck on Route 1A Thursday afternoon in Wenham. Emergency crews took him to Beverly Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Essex County District Attorney's Office didn't identify him as the victim until yesterday.
Carrie Kimball Monahan, spokeswoman for the district attorney, said the driver of the truck, a 60-year-old man from Gloucester, received minor injuries in the crash. Wenham police and state police continue to investigate the accident. No charges have been issued.
Rochwarg noted Daly's involvement with ShelterBox, an international disaster relief organization that brings emergency shelter and essential equipment to people hit by natural disasters, in her website posting.
Daly and Marblehead Harbor Rotarian Ed Bell were cited as among the top 10 U.S. fundraisers for ShelterBox in 2010 and were credited with raising more than $146,000.
"We're very proud of the leader he was in the community and within our family," Brendan Daly said of his father last night. The family gathered with friends in the Daly's Bradford Street home.
Family members said Daly embraced volunteerism and giving back to his community "with a contagious spirit."
Daly leaves his wife Anne (Gormley) Daly, sons Brendan and Thomas, and daughter Maura.
Born in Yonkers, N.Y., Daly graduated from Merrimack College in 1974. He taught middle schoolers English in Lawrence and Andover. He was later employed by Eastprint Inc. for 12 years, and more recently worked as a Sales Manager at GGI International.
Family members said he was also heavily involved with other community activities in town, including Acting Out community theater, Trinitarian Neighborhood Theater and the St. Michael's Parish Music Ministry.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Michael Church, 196 Main St. Calling hours will be Monday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Conte Funeral Home, 17 Third St.

The Massachusetts House and Senate passed an important
civil rights bill, An Act Relative to Transgender Equal Rights, which seeks to extend protection of the Commonwealth's
non-discrimination laws to transgender people. The Boston Bar Association has
supported this bill for several years and recently submitted testimony in support of its passage. The bill now heads
to the
Governor's desk for his signature.
"Discrimination against individuals who are gender non-conforming is both
dehumanizing and inconsistent with the bedrock principle of justice for all,"
said BBA President Lisa C. Goodheart. "Massachusetts now has an opportunity to
take an important step forward, and we urge the Senate to approve this bill as a
matter of access to justice and equal protection."
The bill passed by the legislature would prohibit discrimination based on
gender identity in jobs, housing, insurance, mortgage loans and credit. Gender
identity would be defined as "a person's gender-related identity, appearance or
behavior, whether or not that gender-related identity, appearance, or behavior
is different from that traditionally associated with the person's physiology or
assigned sex at birth." The bill would also make offenses against transgender
people subject to treatment as hate crimes.

Snow time: Sunrise Park to open this weekend
PHOENIX -- Rather than wait for Mother Nature, Sunrise Park Resort has been making snow and will open in a limited capacity this weekend.
The resort's beginner runs will be open, as will mid-mountain areas, a cafe, the ski school and shop starting Saturday. The facility will close Sunday evening and reopen Nov. 29.
A powerful storm is expected to dump several inches of snow in the mountains.
The lifts and facilities will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on these days with lift ticket prices at a reduced rate because of the limited open terrain.
Arizona Snowbowl will open Nov. 29.

Beavers knock Grizzlies out of playoffs
Mar 4, 2014
By Robert Husseman
Of the News-Register
BEAVERTON -- The McMinnville girls basketball team's stay in the Class 6A state playoffs proved to be a short one.
The Grizzlies turned the ball over 18 times in the first half alone and wilted under Beaverton's backcourt pressure as the Beavers won Tuesday night's Class 6A first-round contest, 73-31.
McMinnville led 7-2 at the 5-minute, 15-second mark of the first quarter before the Beavers (19-6 overall) went on a 29-5 run that ended at halftime. Beaverton extended its lead by outscoring the Grizzlies 20-11 in the third quarter, putting the game further out of reach.
Audrey McMillan and Elizabeth Logsdon each scored eight points for the Grizzlies. Danielle Hartzog and Allison Mueller each scored 18 points for the Beavers.
McMinnville ends its season with an 8-17 overall record. The Grizzlies finished six in the Class 6A Pacific Conference in 2013-14 (4-10).

Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral important for maintaining strong bones, particularly in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Solid bone health involves the normally occurring processes of building bone mass while preventing bone loss; and research shows that strontium actively helps both. Bones are a complex structure of proteins and several minerals, and strontium is one of these important support minerals.
For optimal utilization, do not take strontium at the same time as calcium-containing supplements or foods.

AFC South players in the crosshairs

After not finding a willing trading partner during the draft, the Texans have opted to release WR Jacoby Jones.
The nine-time Pro Bowl safety signed a contract with Houston on Friday, a week after leaving town with no deal in place.||||||| The Texans did not disclose terms, though the Houston Chronicle reported it was a three-year deal worth $15 million, with $5 million guaranteed. The move is another blow to Baltimore, where Reed played his first 11 NFL seasons.
Reed is back at Reliant Stadium for more meetings with the Houston Texans.||||||| The 34-year-old Reed arrived in Houston on Thursday aboard team owner Bob McNair's private jet and had a full day of meetings.

Reed intends to return next season.||||||| There was speculation that the 34-year-old Reed might retire after the Ravens complete their Super Bowl run next Sunday. But Reed said Thursday, "I'll be playing next year."
Reed avoided a one-game suspension for late hits after an appeal. He instead will be fined $50,000.||||||| Reed was suspended for one game without pay on Monday by NFL vice president of football operations Merton Hanks for his third violation in three seasons of the rule prohibiting helmet-to-helmet hits against defenseless players. The third violation occurred in Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh: Reed's hit to the head of receiver Emmanuel Sanders. Reed appealed the ruling in phone session Tuesday morning with NFL hearing officer Ted Cottrell.
Reed has been suspended for one game by the NFL for repeated violations of rules prohibiting hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players.||||||| The 11-year veteran will miss Sunday's game against San Diego. Reed is suspended for three violations of the player safety rules in the past three seasons. The latest came in Sunday night's 13-10 victory over Pittsburgh when he was penalized for unnecessary roughness in the third quarter for a hit to the head of receiver Emmanuel Sanders.

Oh yah that's cool
Nice plot, easy to understand voices, I like the animation. And lol cats. I love cats

Fabian Brunnstrom has agreed to a try-out with the Red Wings. He actually had a pretty decent rookie season (17+12=35 points in 72 games) a few years but it has been downhill since then. The Wings are an odd place to go for a try-out as their 23 man roster is set and somebody would need to get traded to make room for Brunnstrom. What we're trying to say is that unless something drastic happens, don't expect to see Brunnstrom in red and white this year.
Jonas Hiller said he's symptom free in an interview with a Swiss TV station. "I'm going to be ready come training camp and the season," he told Schweizer Fernsehen TV. "And the All-Star game is certainly a goal again." He's still an injury risk but it sounds like he's progressing well. We'd still recommend to back up HIller with Dan Ellis if possible but this is encouraging news. [PD with the transcript in English]
Daniel Alfredsson was back on the ice yesterday for the first time since his back surgery in June. Everything went well and he's hopeful to be ready for training camp. We wouldn't want to be betting on a 38-year-old with injury question marks. Pick Alfie as a flyer and nothing else this year.

Caring for an Officially Gifted Southern Child
By: Angela Gillaspie Copyright © October 2002
When I received a letter from my son's guidance counselor a few weeks ago, my first thought was, "Is my insurance paid up?" My second thought was, "Will I need bail money for this?"
In the letter, the guidance counselor asked permission for the school to test my son for the "gifted" program, and I immediately wondered if my health insurance would cover a future DNA test to prove they really meant MY child.
Don't get me wrong; my son makes good grades, and I've always considered him (and his siblings) gifted - but for the school to hang the 'gifted' tag on him, well, it made him an Officially Gifted Child.
I attended the orientation for my Officially Gifted Child at his school and received an inch-thick folder labeled, "Caring for Your Gifted Child." After paging through the contents, I realized that those white-coated researchers must've seen a child eat fish sticks with a fork and thought, "That child is gifted! Hey, let's write a book!"
Now, this information was semi-useful, but hardly pertained to my Officially Gifted Child and his special circumstances. So, I decided to make my own list. Here's how to care for your Officially Gifted Southern Child:
Another thing the guidance counselor mentioned was that we mustn't make a big deal out of the fact that our child is gifted, it could cause jealousy and embarrass him. I reckon wearing my "I'm with gifted." tee shirt would be too much.
Besides, I realized that I treated my Officially Gifted Southern Child the same way as I treated his Unofficially Gifted But Extremely Above Average Southern sister and brothers. Being deemed 'officially gifted' only matters to me when I need something to brag about while waiting in the car pool line.
Stay tuned for more SouthernAngel's special stories!

A Somerville woman was charged with shoplifting Aug. 8 after it was discovered that she had allegedly been stealing items from for about two months, police said.
Zoila Sancho, 43, of Somerville, was charged with shoplifting around 11:49 a.m. Aug. 8 after she was allegedly found with $656 worth of merchandise from the store.
According to Bridgewater Township Police Sgt. Luke Daley, Sancho was actually an employee at the store during the time the items were stolen.
"They launched an investigation," Daley said, adding that it began when the items were found to be stolen.
In addition, Daley said, officials looked at the surveillance cameras, and went back and talked to Sancho about the situation before she was arrested.
Sancho was processed and released.
A South Plainfield man was arrested Aug. 11 for theft of mislaid property.
Ernesto Azana, 52, was charged around 1:59 p.m. Aug. 11.
According to Daley, this charge means that someone steals something that was left behind or lost instead of turning it in to police.
"The woman who reported the item missing said she believed she dropped it in the parking lot," he said.
Azana was processed and released.
Police are also investigating two separate incidents of theft and criminal mischief.
On Aug. 9, at 8:33 a.m., a resident reported that someone smashed the windshield and passenger's side window of his vehicle, while it was parked overnight.
And on Aug. 11, at around 1:15 a.m., a Bridgewater resident reported that someone stole $1,018 worth of tools from his vehicle.

RED LAKE, Minn. (AP) -- Authorities say it could be weeks before a wildfire in northwestern Minnesota is contained.
The fire near Red Lake is the largest of several burning in the area and has consumed more than 38 square miles.
The Department of Natural Resources says the North Minnie fire is not expected to be contained until the end of the month.
The fire is threatening private land, timber resources, a major power line and a few private hunting cabins in Beltrami Island State Forest. It started about a week ago and is about 5 miles northeast of the Fourtown area.

This whole Tebow chanting thing and QB controversy is seriously getting in the way of our ability to enjoy the game and to enjoy Mile High Report. This is something that has grown to the proportions that it has reached the team, and has the potential to cause damage to our team. The idea for this post was born in the response section of Trinity's "Ya its an Orton Thing" post. Unfortunately, I got my dander up in response to what I considered to be irrational condemnation of every thing Kyle Orton and offense did on Monday night. I took off my fans hat and put on that old comfortable debaters cap and proceeded to unload on Trinity15, Core Grind, Asinsoin and Tunesmith. To each of you I apologize, that behavior is not appropriate on a sports blog.
By now I have become known as a total Orton Homer and Tebow hater. Not that anyone is going to believe, or that it really matters, but I am neither. I am of the camp that Kyle Orton is the best quarterback on our roster and that Tim Tebow is not ready to be an NFL starter - those are areas for discussion in a different post.
The real point of this post is to disspell the myth that the sky is falling and our season is already over. We lost by 3 points on Monday Night Football, in our own house, to the ever hated Raiders. That is never easy to take. Throw in a little context and a silver lining stars to break through. We were the second worse team in the league last year, Raiders were middle of the pack. We have a new coaching staff and plenty of new members. We started 4 rookies. There was virtually no off season to put all this together in.
Here is where the intellectual honesty thing comes in. If you approach the game looking to prove a particular point, you will find or invent the evidence to support your point. If you are a Tebow fan looking to have your guy start, you will likely find fault with Kyle Orton and minimize (if not ignor) the good things he does. Beat up on Orton all you want, but there are 10 other guys on that field that deserve your support for the things they do right.
Ok - intellectually honest shocker number 1. This offense performed very well in the second half of the game. Take away the wet ball fumble and this team scores 24 unanswered points on three out of the four drives it is given. I've heard it said often that a team was just one play away from winning. In this case it happens to be true.
The Bronco's did not get the ball until 6:51 left in the third due to Decker's amazing punt return. They start this drive at their own 11. On 2-10 Orton hooks up with Royal for 18 yards. 1st and 10 from the 29, Moreno runs for 9 yards. McGahee picks up the first with a two yard run, but the Raiders gift us with a 15 yard penalty (of course we take it!). Three incomplete passes in a row, but we are under the Raiders skin and get a double penalty call to keep the drive alive. 1st and 10 from the 30 and Moreno is stuck at the line. 2nd and 10 - Orton to Moreno for a beautiful 24 yard catch and run. Back to the run, McGahee picks up one. An incomplete followed by a sack and we settle for 3 points. 12 plays, 4:56, 84 total yards before the sack.
If you are looking for the negatives - Once again Kyle Orton does not finish off a red zone drive. Orton was only 2 of 5 and 1 sack. The drive was kept alive by a penalty. There is good news here also. Contrary to what is written elsewhere, we did not abandon the run. 3 attempts for 10 yards. One successful rushing first down - given up for the major penalty. Most importantly we are kicking the Raiders while they are down. We had scored the special teams touch down and then stopped the raiders at mid field. This drive kept Mighty Mo alive.
The Defense feeds off of this MO and forces a 3 and out. We get the ball with great field position.
Two quick passes covering 33 yards and we are on a roll! THEN - it happens. Orton fumbles. Mo is gone. The boo birds are out chanting TEBOW. With 15 and 1/4 games left to play, our season is already lost! It matters not that we are only down by 3, or that the Raiders are still pinned back in their territory and the Defense is playing pretty mean ... nope ... none of that matters. Mighty MO is gone!
The defense is playing pretty lights out to this point in the second half. A 4 play drive to open the half. A nine play drive netting only 26 yards. A HUGE three and out netting -2 yards. The Defense puts together one more critical 3 and out before the game is over - so what happens next is without explanation. The mighty defense gives up 65 yards on two plays, the Raiders punch it in from a half yard out.
In the second quarter, following Moreno's fumble, the Defense rose to the occasion and forced a field goal stuffing two McFadden runs for negative yards and no gain. After the INT they stuff Bush for a two yard loss and then a no gain. This defense DOES have Oakland's number.
So why the melt down? A fumble is a momentum changer. But the previous two turn overs did not result in a melt down and the game was still very close. My turn to be a little intellectually dishonest: the fumble was disappointing, but the Tebow chants were humiliating, an overt sign from the fans that they had no faith in the Denver Broncos. Disappointment combined with humiliation equals dispare. Oakland, that just scored a major turnover, had their victory amplified by the humiliation the Bronco's were subjected to (very chippy and personal football game). BANG - the only major failure of the defense the whole night.
Back to the offense. Mo is gone. Humiliation has been compounded by the unopposed score. Time to quit and just get out of this game ...right? First and 10 from the 20, Kyle Orton is sacked for -4 yards. Out come the chants. Orton to McGahee for 12, another fumble but McGahee recovers. Still, the chants. Still time to quit. Third and two, Orton to Lloyd for 20 and a first down - but yet another fumble. Somehow that wet football squirted out of the hands of two defenders and right back into Lloyd. Next play, 4 yard pass to Moreno called back on a Franklin holding. This is looking bad folks. Raiders give back the penalty the next play on a PI. Denver is in Oakland territory. Then, SACK - nine yards back to the 50. Drive is over. But the offense managed to change the field position and leave the Defense in a favorable situation, and gave them enough time to regroup on the sidelines.
THANK YOU COACH ALLEN!!! First and 10, McFadden for only one yard. Second down - incomplete. Third down, McFadden for two yards - punt!
After and exchange of penalties, Denver starts first and 15 at the 15. In the next 3 minutes and 43 seconds the offense will convert a third and 6, a third and 10, and then a third and goal from the 9 for a touch down. Contrary to the popular conception here, none of these conversions were by penalty. Also contrary to popular conception - the net yardage awarded to the Bronco's by penalty was ZERO. I don't care what Trent Dilfer said, this offense covered 85 yards in three and a half minutes using no time outs. They may not have shown it, but this offense was playing with urgency. More importantly, they were playing with intensity, discipline, and efficiency. They entered the drive knowing they needed a touch down and a field goal to tie. They got the touchdown and left more than enough time to get back on the field and get in position for the field goal. THIS is the definition of clutch play. Every member of the offense, including Kyle Orton, deserves a lot of credit for that drive - Tebow chanters rationalize this one all you want, the offense performed perfectly in a clutch situation.
Alas, the comeback was not to be. The Defense had lost Champ and a few others - they were unable to get the ball back into the offense's hands.
What are the honest things we take away from this second half? First and foremost - this team has a lot of fight in it. This team recovered from extreme adversity and kept the game competitive until the final minute. This Defense is GOOD! The young offensive line has work to do, but they too have a lot of promise. Kyle Orton did not quit, he picked his offense up after his mistake and helped his defense. We can convert difficult third downs when we need to. We can put together clutch drives - at least this once. We can stand tow to tow in a slugfest with a very physical team. We will win games that no one expects us to win.
We know that turn overs hurt - that is not a big secret. After this little rant maybe we understand that there is a possibility that the fans do make a difference. We know we can make it hard on the other team with our Rocky Mountain Thunder - maybe now we know we can likewise make it hard on our own team with the unwarranted Tebow chants. Giving aide and comfort to the enemy during battle is traitorous.
Intellectual honesty? Be honest with yourself. The bad thing were obvious enough - three turn overs. The good things are there in abundance if you only care to look for them. Do you want to see the good things, the improvement, the accomplishments? Or do you just want to see #15 start?

CATEGORIES Animation, Deals, Paramount, Distribution, Family Films, Movies, CinematicalParamount family division Nickelodeon Movies is set to make feature films based on the cute and highly collectible toys manufactured by Kidrobot, according to Variety. The homogeneously shaped yet heterogeneously decorated toys, which are smooth, cartoon-like action figures adorned with limited-edition designs created by well-known international artists, are to star in a series of films mixing animation and live-action. The studio will work with Kidrobot owner W!LDBRAIN, the animation studio that also produces the show Yo Gabba Gabba! for Nick Jr., and original owner/creator Paul Budnitz, who still functions as president of Kidrobot. Two years ago, when W!LDBRAIN bought stake in Kidrobot, the company's main goal was to produce TV series, feature films and direct-to-video projects involving the toys.
Unlike many toys-turned-movies, though, the Munny and Dunny (and Labbit, etc.) figures from Kidrobot have no backstory, so producer Scott Aversano (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events), who heads the Nickelodeon and MTV film labels, is seeking a screenwriter to come up with something involving kids who are somehow transported into the "edgy world" populated by the creatures.
As a huge fan of Kidrobot toys (though owner of only a couple figures, which sit in random spots around my apartment), I'd prefer not to see that same old real-life kids interacting with cartoon characters angle, but I guess these films will be targeted to audiences much younger than myself. And when I was child, I enjoyed such plots in animated films featuring the Care Bears and the Smurfs, both of which seemed to initially inspire the Munny figures (at least slightly). Still, I'd like to see something more along the lines of the Kidrobot "Sprout" ad, which you can check out below.

Weymouth Library has been picked from 100s of applications to be one of only 24 libraries on the English and Welsh leg of the Children's Laureate Libraries Tour this autumn.
As part of her Children's Laureateship, Julia Donaldson – bestselling author of over 150 books including The Gruffalo, What the Ladybird Heard and Zog – is embarking on a tour of libraries that will take in England, Wales and Scotland, from John O'Groats to Lands' End, over six weeks.
Schoolchildren from all local schools will be attending the invite-only event, which will see Julia bringing some of her hugely popular stories to life through special dramatisations.
They will also be showing off their own acting and singing skills during a short performance inspired by children's literature which they will present to Julia. Julia will be at signing copies of her books at the event.
