WINOOSKI, Vt. (AP) - The Shumlin administration's point person on overhauling the state's health insurance system says a delay in implementing federal requirements won't have much impact on Vermont.
The Obama administration announced this week it was delaying by a year a health coverage mandate for large employers, with 50 or more full-time-equivalent employees.
Robin Lunge, Vermont's director of health care reform, says the state remains on track for its own version of the exchange called for under the federal Affordable Care Act.
The Vermont exchange, called Vermont Health Connect, is focused on enrolling small employers - those with 50 or fewer employees - and individuals. It's to be up and running by Oct. 1.

Now to a tragic development to a story NewsChannel 11 has been following since Friday. The three year old Lubbock girl who fell into a backyard pool has died, according to family members.
Amari Danielle Mendoza was taken off life support after tests revealed she was brain dead. Police say Amari wandered into the backyard of a home in the 1900 block of 63rd Street Friday afternoon and climbed into the pool. Witnesses told police that adults inside the home were asleep at the time. Family members pulled the girl out of the water, and performed CPR until help arrived.
Family members want to remind parents to take extra precaution with their children around water. "My advice to everybody that has pools out there, if you're going to go get a pool for your children, make sure you're there. Take responsibility of what you get for your children. Not to ruin their fun or summer, just make sure you're there with your children. Don't let this happen to any other children anymore," says the little girl's aunt Ester Rojas.
A memorial fund has been set up to help with funeral expenses. Donations can be made at any Compass Bank location.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Lansing snow plows and salt trucks are out on the roads, actively trying to clear snow from major streets and state trunklines.
Plows are currently clearing routes: 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30. To see where these streets are, check the map HERE. If possible, officials are asking for drivers not to leave cars in the street if possible. It's prohibited from 2a.m. to 5a.m.
Crews warn visibility and blowing snow could still be an issue during the evening commute. Several inches of snow fell Tuesday night into Wednesday morning in mid-Michigan. The range of snow stretched from around 3.5 inches to nearly 6 inches.
Officials are still warning drivers to slow down and be cautious on the roads.
"It's gotta be a partnership out there. I mean we're out there but we also need motorists if they're out there to really slow down and pay attention to conditions as well," said Lt. Joseph Tomas.

Clippers Broadcast Schedule
Nothing really new here, 79 games will be on prime ticket of FSW, 2 are on TNT. This means 1 game is not televised which is odd. Of interest though is that 2 preseason games will be on TV: Oct.14th vs Denver and Oct. 19th Sac. I am guessing that if we do end up playing the Lakers then that game will be on TV but will be announced by the lakers announcers (yuck!).

Hi, I have PPMS. For past 3 or 4 month I have had tight arm which does not resolve with anything. Se ems to be related to knots in neck. Already lost legs and question is could this be a sign I'm going to lose arm function?
?losing arm function
Hi Scooter,
I don't think MS is quite as predictable as that.
Stiffness in a limb doesn't automatically mean you are going to lose the function of that limb. OK, I'm not PPMS, so I guess the situation's, slightly different, but I've had tight legs for at least a couple of years. I haven't lost use of them yet - it just makes life more annoying/uncomfortable.
What meds (if any) are you already on for the stiffness/tightness? If you are not on any, perhaps you should be? Physiotherapy also might help to ease the tightness in your arm.
But try not to worry about what "might" happen, because it also might not. Even with PPMS, MS doesn't have a definite pattern that is the same for everyone. You can't say that just because 'A' happens, 'B' will certainly follow.
thanks for taking time to reply, guess I'm just scared
thanks for taking time to reply, guess I'm just scared
I'm sure there's nobody with MS who doesn't worry what will happen.
But as science hasn't found any reliable way of predicting that yet, I think the only way is to take things one day at a time - deal with those things that do happen, but try not to dwell on the ones that haven't, because you might be lucky and they never do.
It's worth asking about treatment for the arm. I'm not saying it will ever be as good as new, but with a combination of drugs and physio, it might be a better than it is at the moment.
I am much weaker than I used to be, but I have found frequent practice does help maintain what strength and stamina I still have.
Check you are not winging - shoulder blades sticking out as this is poor posture which can cause pressure on the arm nerves. I get pain but sometimes weakness. It is hard work trying to remember that I need to maintain correct posture. The physio gave me some great excersies (MS specialist physio).
It is also important to try and stretch the nerves as this helps damaged nerves keep some function. Anyway small things make me feel I have achieved something. God, my typing skills are fantastic at the moment.
your arm sounds like its behaving like my right leg when the nerve feels trapped. I take amytryptiline which relieves it. It can be so frustrating not knowing if indeed it is ms or just the nerves being tweeked or trapped.
Please look at meds and try holding your shoulders back if possible. Maybe ask to see neuro physio as your posture might be affecting your arm.
Try not to worry too much as we each get lots of weird things which are not always related to ms.
Take care,
I'm not sure if it is the same thing as you are experiencing.
I have been having problems with my shoulders for over nine months now. It started with a tight shoulder and gradually became so that I now can only move one of them a very small amount.
I have walked with sticks for over twenty years and I think they have finally had enough of the pressure. I am going in to hospital this coming weekend for an operation to open up the joint so that it doesn't pinch the rotator cuff muscles, time will tell if this will help, I have my fingers crossed.
I guess the point I am trying to make is that it may not be MS but related to it, if that makes sense.
Hope this helps Chris
Hi Scooter, I'm ppms as well. One thing I've learned over past few years, never assume something is caused by MS. It's quite possible you have a muscular problem, possibly from the way you are sitting in you wheelchair, or possibly a frozen shoulder... a painful but common problem. Anyway, hopefully it's something that a physiotherapist can get sorted.
Suggest you go and see GP as soon as poss. A GP can do a physio referral. Also it might be good to have an OT (occupational therapist) come and have a look at your home and how you move about in it. They can sometimes see how you can be helped by an adaptation so that you're not putting stress on your body. Again, GP can do the referral.
Hope you can get it sorted soon. I also dread losing the use of my arms. Bad enough not walking but please let me keep the use of my arms and hands!!!
Pat x
Lots of great suggestions and information. Fortunately, I only had a frozen shoulder on one side although it did take 9 months to correct, including some very physical interaction from a hefty physio so I did not need an op. The thought of going through any of that again keeps me doing the few easy exercises prescribed. Apparantly I am now susceptible (brain is doing good) on both sides - the gifts of disability just keep coming, lucky old me.
Never give in (well only for a couple of minutes).

Man stabbed to death following argument in Welwyn Garden City
12:25pm Monday 17th March 2014 in News
A 26-year-old man from Welywyn Garden City was stabbed to death following an argument on Sunday night.
Police were called to Guinness House, Little Hardings at approximately 6.35pm following a call from a member of the public and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 52-year-old man, from Welwyn Garden City, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in police custody.
A police cordon has been put around the immediate area where the incident took place while police carry out inquiries.
This comes after the death of four-year-old Alexa-Marie, of Queen Bee Court in Hatfield, who was killed on Wednesday, March 12.
Chief Inspector for Welwyn Hatfield, Jo Walker said: "I am sure that the deaths currently being investigated in Welwyn Hatfield will be of concern to residents. These are highly unusual events for the borough and I would reassure people that we have a number of experienced detectives and specialist officers investigating them.
"We have one person charged in connection with the death of Alexa-Marie in Hatfield and a further person in custody for the death in Welwyn Garden City on Sunday. We do not believe the deaths are linked.
"My deepest sympathies go to the families of both victims. Specialist family liaison officers will be providing them with support at this extremely distressing time. If any residents do have concerns in relation to either of these deaths I would ask them to speak to their local Safer Neighbourhood Team by calling the non-emergency number, 101. If you have any information please report this to police via 101 or anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
Any witnesses to, or anyone with information are asked to contact Detective Constable Donna Norris via the non-emergency number 101 citing crime reference B1/14/740. Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Asbestos News
Team updates findings on mesothelioma, cancers among Chinese asbestos workersChina is the world's leading purchaser and consumer of asbestos, according to the Center for Public Integrity (CPI). As such, in certain Chinese communities, the rates of asbestos exposure and consequent diseases (like malignant pleural mesothelioma) are unbelievably high.
For proof, take a look at an update of an ongoing examination of asbestos-related mortality among Chinese asbestos workers. Published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology (JTO), the report is based on 37 years of data collected from workers in one asbestos plant in Chongqin.
Protections for workers are slim, underused
The new article updates data published in a 2001 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology. In both cases, the research team - which primarily hails from the West China University of Medical Sciences - based their findings on a cohort of 577 asbestos workers.
There is no lack of such people in China. In 2007 alone, the nation used 690,000 tons of asbestos, a figure that dwarfs all those of other countries. For comparison, consider that India, the next-largest consumer of asbestos, used less than one-half that amount in the same time period.
The CPI reports that China is also the world's second-biggest miner and producer of raw asbestos, exporting nearly 309,000 tons annually.
Several years ago, Li Qiang, the executive director of the New York-based nonprofit China Labor Watch, told the source that "in the future, China will face a public health crisis triggered by the use of asbestos."
That future appears to be now.
Mesothelioma, lung cancers abound
In the newly updated JTO report, researchers noted that 259 asbestos-exposed participants - or nearly one-half the studied cohort - have died since first being enrolled in 1972. Many of these deaths have been caused by malignancies, some of them clearly associated with asbestos exposure.
The article noted that 53 participants have died of lung cancers, which is four times the expected rate of this disease. Likewise, the prevalence of deaths related to respiratory disease in general were three times higher than the average.
Furthermore, two of the study participants have succumbed to mesothelioma, making that illness's mortality rate much higher in the Chinese cohort than is typical worldwide.
Qiang blames much of this trend on poor adherence to safety measures.
"The guidelines that China's government has put forward to protect workers do in fact offer workers protection," he told CPI. "But the challenge is Chinese officials don't have any way to effectively implement them. Factories flagrantly fail to respect Chinese law."
In the U.S., legislation restricts the use of asbestos, yet due to mesothelioma's long latency period, previously exposed workers continue to die from the disease.

@Anon, I was thinking the same thing. So many athletes/entertainers think that they can magically become actors/actresses as if they it's not an acquired skill that takes work. I wish her the best of luck and hope that she comes correct.

Newcastle center-back David Rozehnal has given a surprising interview to Pravo, in which he says he is bitter at Newcastle United.
Rozehnal - surprisingly negative comments from our Czech International
David told Pravo today:
"I am bitter. I was looking forward very much to coming to Newcastle after playing at Club Brugge and PSG.†"Now I am not sure if this looks like a dream spell. I did not expect I would be sitting on the bench.â€
"Once I play as right-back, then left-back. Then in right midfield, or as a defensive midfielder.†"For instance, in the FA Cup fixture against Arsenal the coach wanted me to play in center midfield like when I played against Bolton, but Enrique injured himself so I was put in defence."
"I don't like such rotation." "I don't want to drop out of it ahead of Euro 2008. Training (sessions) at Newcastle are of a high-quality but game practice is irreplaceable."
Rozehnal, who apparently has been linked with Lazio and Real Zaragoza, plans to speak with Keegan over his plans for the future, but still says he is determined to fight for his place.
David said:
"He promised to speak to us individually. I want to know his ideas and therefore know what I can expect.–I like competition, it is useful. There are four equally-talented players for my position. I admit that the team composition is up to our coach and don't complain at all.â€
"But I think we are on the same level, I am not worse than them. Moreover, I showed some good performances at the beginning.â€
"That is why I am so sad that I don't play as much as I wish to. That is why I don't feel as well as I felt in Brugge or in Paris. I will fight on."
David though has a bad habit of making mistakes that lead to goals, and he has made such mistakes at Newcastle. But if he is this unhappy we may see him moved out in the summer, depending on what Keegan has in mind for the summer transfers.
We only want players who want to play for the club, and in all honesty he has hardly set the Premiership alight in his time at Newcastle, although he has looked a decent enough player.
We're surprised and a little disappointed by this outburst, and think David should have talked to Kevin Keegan first, before expressing these views in the press.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

What is Shawarma?Shawarma is thinly sliced cuts of meat, like chicken, beef, goat, lamb, and sometimes turkey, rolled into a large piece of flatbread or pita that has been steamed or heated. Inside the pita, foods like hummus, tahini, pickles, vegetables, and even french fries are added. Think of shawarma as a taco or burrito Middle Eastern style.
How is Shawarma Made?Raw meat is placed on large, rotating cones. As it rotates, the meat is cooked by a heat source that is located behind the actual cone. The meat slowly falls off or is thinly sliced by a chef with a large knife. It can take several hours to fully cook.
What is Served with ShawarmaI have had shawarma with fries, salads like tabouleh, falafel, and just by itself for a quick bite on the go.In some places it is served alone, without the pita or flatbread.
Do I Need a Cone Tower to Make Shawarma at Home?It's really hard to duplicate the taste without a tower. You can come very close, but there is still that "something" that is missing!
When buying your meat, try to get chicken. Dark meat (thigh meat) is the best for shawarma, but white meat will work, too. Ask your butcher or supermarket meat department to slice it very thin. Ideally, the meat will be thinner than cutlets.
I have tried many shawarma recipes in my lifetime and over time have developed a really good shawarma recipe. Try it out, email me, and let me know how it comes out!

It can only be described as heartbreaking when you lose your best played game all season, in the final two seconds, on a miracle 3 point shot at the buzzer after having done the exact same thing just seconds before. In our gameday post you saw that these two teams lit up the scoreboards in all four of their meetings last season, and tonight would be no different. The Thunder had probably their best overall, and easily best offensive performance of the season. Mid way through the 2nd quarter the Thunder took control of the game (outscoring Denver 38-21 in the period) and held the lead all the way until the final few minutes of the game. The Thunder once again let the lead slip away, but battled back and gave themselves a chance to win, and with only a few seconds left, Kevin Durant hit a wicked 3 point shot off the inbound to give the Thunder a 120-119 lead with just 2 seconds left on the clock. But 2 seconds is too much time to leave the Nuggets, and Carmelo Anthony, as he hit a 3 point shot off the inbound to give the Thunder their fourth buzzer beater loss of the season.
Its definitely a hard loss to swallow, but you really do have to come away from this game feeling better about the way this team is playing. Two months ago, this would have been a 130-80 win for the Nuggets, and tonight, the Thunder took them to the wire, and nearly pulled off the big upset. It really seems like the offense is starting to jell a bit more, and just seems like they are actively trying to get each other good looks, sometimes looking a bit too much, but overall, just better ball movement.
Its really encouraging to see the better play now as they prepare for Krstic to join the squad, with any luck, next week. Until he gets the go ahead to play a live game, he is hard at work with the rest of the team trying to get game ready, and develope a report with his new teamates. Scott Brooks commented on being surprised how far along Krstic is at this stage, so things are definitely starting to look a bit better. It'll be interesting to see what kind of trades Presti gets involved in before the deadline to make this team more competitive.

The Capitals completed a massive comeback against the Rangers in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series on Wednesday night with a dramatic double overtime goal from Jason Chimera. And, in no great shock, the call of a double overtime game-winner on the ice is awesome, even if no one's quite sure what's going on at first:
Chimera's goal was sort of a freak happening: he originally tried to fire a wrist shot on Henrik Lundqvist, had it blocked, and then got lucky while crashing the net when the Rangers couldn't get the puck out of their end.
Style points don't matter so much in playoff hockey, though. And if the Capitals needed any of those, storming back from a 3-0 deficit to take a commanding 3-1 series lead with a road win at Madison Square Garden probably gave them more than enough, beauty of the game-winner be damned.
Game 5 of the series will be played on Saturday afternoon in Washington.

Your Transfer Credit Evaluation:
Congratulations on your admission to the University of Maryland.
If you have transfer credit from another institution (including AP, IB, or CLEP credit), here is where you will find
preliminary information about the status of your credits. You may begin
accessing your transfer credit evaluation online ten business days after accepting admission to UMD.
Coursework from some institutions, like Maryland community colleges, may be accessed sooner if it was
sent electronically. Once posted, your evaluation will display courses from
previous schools that have been evaluated up to this point in time.
As you look over your preliminary information, you will see that certain
courses have been articulated to specific equivalents on our campus. Others may fulfill general
education requirements (noted with codes such as "D," "SH" or DSHS). Still others may appear without any
additional notation besides the fact that they were awarded credit. This is normal and means
only that these courses are still under a closer review by the campus. Rest assured that research on
them is already being done and that every effort will be made to provide a comprehensive evaluation
before you register for classes at orientation.
It is important for you to know that your transfer evaluation is an ongoing process that sometimes
continues through your first semester at College Park. While your advisor will finalize the applicability
of most of your evaluations at Orientation, a very small percentage of evaluations may change if new
information regarding this coursework comes to light during the semester. For this reason, it is important
for you to check back on your transfer credits online at least once at the end of your first semester
to see your final evaluation. Any courses showing credit which are still "blank" at that time have been
evaluated as "electives." If you need further clarification, see your
College advisor.
When looking at your evaluation, please note the following:

Woodworking Project Paper Plan to Build Twin Adjustable Adirondack Chair
This was a lot of fun for a first timer, directions were easy to follow and the chair came out awesome, now my friends want one. The only disappointment I found was that I needed a work bench instead of a plastic table. As a first timer, I wish the plans were just a little more detailed as to where bolt holes on the legs were to be,other than that it was a breeze, just ordered plans for a work bench.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

text: Wow. I went a while without listening to Soulfly, and this is what happens. I check out the new record, and it is nowhere NEAR anything done by Max. Dark Ages saw this band taking a sharp turn into the thrash metal scene, and this one took it even further. This album is one of the best thrash albums i've ever heard. There are an insane amount of heavy, fast riffs on this album as well as complimenting drum-work. This is definitely Max's best work to date and better than anything Sepultura has recorded (I know, they're still legends). Marc Rizzo is one of the fastest and best guitarists i've ever heard, up there with Dino Cazares. If you don't like this album, you should stop listening to music now. EVERY single song on this album is great. Buy this now.

It looks to me like the lockout is going to happen. The owners are in a position of strength, and the players have shown no indication of budging. In the past, teams in this situation have given playbooks and plans for practice to the players to hold practices themselves. Also, with no CBA in place, it's impossible to trade current players. Whether the worst-case scenario transpires or not, teams would be wise to prepare for the worst.
For now, the Broncos are stuck with two legitimate starting quarterbacks in Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow. Without a CBA, there can neither be a trade, nor a competition. While Elway said that Tebow needed to develop as a pocket passer, he wasn't specific whether he thought it best to develop as a backup or under live fire. Elway also said that there would be "competition" for the starting QB job, but an extended lockout would prevent any competition. The decision will have to be made before the lockout. Assuming that one player will lead the offense through the offseason/ preseason: Who will it be?
Kyle Orton
The journeyman incumbent with six years of experience in the NFL, and two in the Broncos' current offense. However his lame-duck status may impinge upon his leadership ability, which isn't great in the first place. Orton is also an alternate NFLPA representative to Brian Dawkins, who may not be returning. Given that the Broncos will be stuck with him until the CBA is resolved (at which point may be too late to trade him) it may be wise to stay the course, let him start for another mediocre rebuilding year, and trade him as a starter prior to the 2012 season. If that's the plan, the Broncos may hand him the playbook if they expect the lockout to extend into the regular season. On the other hand, it's doubtful that Orton would be helpful in the development of his inevitable successor.
Tim Tebow
The kid is still raw, there's no doubt about that. The lockout would happen at the worst possible time for Tebow, who needs more coaching than anyone. With that said, his abilities as a leader on the field are unquestioned, and the players seem to be behind him (N=Brandon Lloyd). However, his legendary work ethic as a player might work against him as a de facto coach, as he may attempt to drive the other players as hard as he drives himself.
Chaos reigns, and the players go their separate ways until the CBA is resolved. Some players will work out together, but this will progress willy-nilly, and the offense will remain fragmented until the new CBA is announced. On the other hand, having player-organized practices during strikes/ lockouts is viewed by some as cheating, so this possibility wouldn't pose any additional risk to the Broncos' scuffed reputation. This situation could also lead to a locker room divided by the groups players practiced with during the lockout.
Another Player
Assuming that an offensive player would have to lead the offense... Who would it be? Brian Dawkins? Brady Quinn? Correll Buckhalter? Kris Kuper?
Again, this is strictly speculative and dependent on the ownership's belief in the imminence of a protracted lockout. The ultimate question is simply what happens to the team during the lockout. I'm assuming the coaching staff will give instructions to a player who will lead the team during the lockout, but that will not necessarily the case. If that doesn't happen (or even if it does) is there a chance that one player will assert leadership and lead a cohesive offseason program without any direction from the coaching staff?

Preparing for a job interview can feel like you're slaying a two-headed beast. You've got to sell yourself, while also interviewing your host to make sure the job is one you really want.
The first part is easy. After several decades on the job, you know how to sell yourself. But lots of candidates neglect the flip side of the interview – what you should ask. Smart questions that show you know a lot about your potential employer can be the best sales pitch of all.
The right approach is to ask questions that demonstrate you're really interested in the job and the company, and also show off your experience and know-how, says Vivian Steir Rabin, co-founder of iRelaunch, co-author of Back on the Career Track and a former executive recruiter.
Just about every interviewer ends with "Do you have any questions for me?" "That last ten or fifteen minutes is your time to shine," says Rabin. And if your interviewer doesn't ask, be sure to volunteer, saying something like, "I have a few questions for you if you don't mind."
Prepare, prepare, then prepare some more
The key to questions that transport you to the top of the list is massive preparation. You already know you should read the annual report (if the potential employer is a public company) and any news reports. By now you've talked to everyone you know who works or worked for the company or has a friend who worked there. These days you've also got to scour the internet and social media sites. Read the company's Facebook page, Twitter feeds, the LinkedIn account. Watch every You Tube video the company has posted. Often smaller companies that are not required to file public documents will have a big presence on the Web.
Pose questions that show off your smarts
Armed with this research you should formulate big-picture questions about the business as well as specific questions about the job. For instance, "What about that dip in earnings last quarter?" Or, "I know there's a new product line in the works. Would this marketing job be involved with that?" Be sure to mention what you saw – or didn't see — on new media. Something like, "I noticed your Facebook page hasn't been updated in a while; what is your social media strategy?" Or, "Have you ever considered posting your customer service videos on You Tube?"

Since 2004, the City of Albany has been home to the amphibious tour group Aqua Ducks. After nine seasons of informing visitors and entertaining crowds, the company is selling the tour vehicles. Our Erin Vannella has more.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- It's the end of an era in the City of Albany. After July 15th, the popular Aqua Duck tours will no longer be in operation in Albany.
After nine seasons of entertaining and informing visitors, the tour company has sold both its amphibious vehicles. While the company can't say where the duck vehicles' new homes are, they are saying that they are running the trolley services until their three trolleys are sold.
Representatives of the company say that it has been an "absolute delight" to provide this service for people interested in New York's capital.
"The local history here is amazing and I never knew it and I'm so thankful for this job. It gave me the opportunity to pass it on to people that come on the boat from all over the world. We've had people from all over the world. And I've had the pleasure of meeting them and talking with them and loved every moment of it," tour guide Cacy Tunny said.
The company employs about 40 people in a variety of full and part-time positions from Duck captains to tour guides.

Booking Through Thursday has swept in again this week, to save me having to think for myself, with another query intended to send you all scurrying away to the literary part of your brain. I'm not entirely sure my brain has any other part - which is all to the good here.
This week's question is: do you have any foreign language books, and if so, can you (still) read them?
Well, I'm afraid my non-cosmopolitan mind can only proffer a simple negative to the latter - I am about as bilingual as the National Anthem - but I do have a copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in French, which I bought in an attempt to make French GCSE 'fun'. Also Winnie the Pooh in Latin, I believe. Can we count Old English as a foreign language? Well, I'm not sure I could comprehend 'The Wanderer' and 'Dream of the Rood' any more, but once I memorised what they meant. Not really reading a foreign language, is it?
All this reminds me of a man who lived near us in my Merseyside days (those days being up until the age of 7ish). He liked the look of the books in Ikea, the ones used to decorate bookshelves and show how wonderfully functional they are. Indeed, he liked the look of them so much that he asked, and was allowed, to buy them by the yard. Despite not speaking of word of Swedish, the language all these books were written in. Marvellous.

Are Phil Hughes's days numbered in the Bronx? All recent rumors seem to confirm his impending departure. Question remains where and for whom?
My bet is the San Diego Padres. Currently, going nowhere fast the Padres have lost 10 of 11 games and in the process of losing another one. Being from Mission Viejo, California, Phil would be returning home. He easily slides into a top spot in this San Diego rotation. He would be a great addition for the Padres. Hughes would pitch most of his games in some of the top pitching stadiums in baseball, San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Then throw in the cool air in the desert of Arizona and he becomes deadly. Believe me this fly ball pitcher would thrive on the west coast, with no DH to contend with. This makes a lot of sense for the Padres to take the rest of the year to work out an extension with Phil. Most likely for 4 yrs in the 55 to 60 million dollar range.
For the past two years everyone has speculated on a trade for Chase Headley. Headley becomes expendable because of Jedd Gyorko steady improvement at the major league level. We hear of prospects being offered by several teams but nothing to the Padres liking. Plain and simple they evidently want a controllable #1 or #2 starting pitcher and Phil Hughes fills that need. They would have an inside track to sign, one of the top available pitchers. This is a good jumping off point for the Yankees and Padres to find some common ground on this trade. Throw in Adam Warren or Mark Montgomery and Corban Joseph or David Adams and we may see Headley in Pinstripes soon.
This trade benefits both teams going forwards in 2013 and beyond.

A river ran through it: Nasa's Curiosity rover finds rock evidence of an ancient streambed on Mars
Nasa's Curiosity rover has found evidence that a stream once ran across the surface of Mars.
Evidence for the presence of water on Mars has been found previously, but this evidence - images of rocks containing ancient streambed gravels - is the first of its kind.
A River Ran Through It. I found evidence of an ancient streambed on Mars, similar to some on Earth http://t.co/wfbpp7BW
The discovery of the rock outcrop which has been named "Hottah" after a lake in Canada's Northwest Territories, came from analysing the size and shapes of pebbles and gravel near the Gale Crater.
At a news conference, Rover project scientist John Grotzinger jokingly said:
We've named it Hottah.
To us it just looked like somebody came along the surface of Mars with a jackhammer and lifted up the sidewalk that you might see in downtown LA at a construction site.
The team said it appeared the water was fast-moving and deep.
In this image, a rock outcrop called Link pops out from a Martian surface that is elsewhere blanketed by reddish-brown dust
Scientists say water transport is the only process capable of producing the rounded shape of clasts of this size.
This set of images compares an outcrop of rocks on Mars called Link with similar rocks seen on Earth.
The name Link is derived from a significant rock formation in the Northwest Territories of Canada, where there is also a lake with the same name.
Curiosity is on a two-year mission to investigate whether conditions on Mars could have ever supported microbial life.

This crazy place is made up of a mineral called travertine, a mineral deposit from hot springs. It has a feel of limestone with multiple pockets.
The routes here are difficult, all overhanging as they travel through the cave. Not only are they difficult to climb, we found them quite difficult to find! Typically you are lowered off single chains from the roof of the cave, and left wondering what route you did! There were many that were described in the guidebook "Jemez Rock", and we could not even figure out which was which. So, be warned, fun and difficult climbing with confusing route finding!
Please leave the biners on the chains for lowering!
Getting There
Follow the directions to the Jemez Valley, and continue up highway 4. About one mile beyond the town of Jemez springs is the Soda Dam. Once you see the Soda Dam, continue to drive just past by some guardrails and park in the left side parking lot. Follow a trail going up the left side of the canyon, directly across from the Soda Dam, for 2-3 minutes and you will run into the cave.

The Syracuse Orange defeated the South Florida Bulls 56-48 on Wednesday. Here are the quotes to prove it.
Scoop Jardine, on what USF coach Stan Heath said to him during the game:
"Wow. He gave me a great compliment," Jardine said. "He said he didn't know I was that good and I'm really the best guard in the league and nobody even talks about it...He said my freshman year, they didn't play me at all. They didn't even try to play me. And he said I've grown as a player. I respect that."
Fab Melo, on whether or not he likes to take the charge:
"I like to take a charge. They get a foul and we get the ball. Whatever gets the stop is great."
Dion Waiters on the team's slow start:
"I was mad. I was kind of upset, you know? Five points in 10 minutes? That's kind of a disgrace."
Melo on the slow start:
"Weird. Nothing was going in. You can't figure it out. Things like that happen, I guess. But it was very weird."
Dion on whether or not it was the fault of the platinum uniforms:
"A lot of people might say the uniforms were a problem, but not me. How you come out and play has nothing to do with any uniform. Some people might think that, but they're crazy if they do."
Why didn't Dion complete the uniform with the prescribed sneakers?
"I love the uniforms, man. You know, they're a different flavor. Nice. But I didn't go with the shoes. I went with the 'Kobes.' I gotta keep something basic. The jersey was nice enough, but I gotta keep my-socks-and-my-sneaks thing going on."
USF coach Stan Heath on watching the Orange make their run:
"We were pissed. We thought we just kind of let it get away...But you knew — they're so good — that they were going to make a run. You just hope it wasn't as long as what they did."
Jim Boeheim on how you win games like this:
"We've been in these games all year, and our veteran guys have made plays coming down the stretch for us. That's how you win these games."
Boeheim on the minutes his starters are getting:
"I think we're playing those guys a little too much."
Boeheim on James Southerland, who continues to struggle:
"We'd like to get James going, there's no question about that. I think he's rebounding better. I think he's playing better. I think he's moving better. But, you know, we'd definitely like to get him going. I think it'd be important for us.''
Boeheim on getting Southerland and Baye Moussa Keita more involved:
The next couple games we are going to get a little bit more time and try and to get James Southerland in there a little bit more. Try to get him going; he's struggling, try to get him in there. Try to get Baye Keita in there and see if we can get him going a little bit, get a little rest for these guys.
Kris Joseph on his play against USF and the team's reliance on him when it matters:
"Basically, I was playing terrible the whole game. And they still had confidence in me to come down and make plays when it really counted. I got the iso, got my own rebound and a put-back, I think I did that two times in a row. That was big."
KrisJo on the value of wins like this:
"In situations like these, they're tough enough wins. We would rather not be in situations like these, but if you look at this thing it could be a positive. We could be in this situation further down the road and we've been placed in this situation a few times this season. It will help us in the long run."
Boeheim on the upcoming UConn game:
Saturday night is the Connecticut game. They're obviously much tougher there. I already told the players this is going to be the toughest game they had this year."

Find out about the a potential second-round pick in this year's draft at the wide receiver position, Jonathan Baldwin. Promoted to front page by Chris P.
Ht: 6' 5" Wt: 225 lbs 40: 4.4 sec
College Statistics
Season Team REC YDS AVG LNG TD
2008 Pittsburgh 18 404 22.4 60 3
2009 Pittsburgh 57 1111 19.5 79 8
2010 Pittsburgh 53 822 15.5 61 5
Totals 128 2337 18.3 79 16
A standout player from a size prospective, Baldwin presents an immediate problem for pass defenses. Sure to draw a double/triple team on most plays, he is used to catching the ball in traffic and his strength makes him able to rip the ball away from defenders. Great hands and concentration gives him ability to catch badly thrown balls which has been aptly demonstrated at Pitt where he hasn't had the best of quarterbacks. Difficult to bring down, he gets a lot of yards after the catch. Also an excellent blocker. Definitely No. 1 receiver potential.
Needs to improve route running. Decent speed but not elite speed. Not a great "cutter", can be a little sluggish on his breaks and off the line. This all translates to Baldwin having to catch the ball a lot while being covered--he is not often wide open because of a great move he made or just running past someone. In 2009, Baldwin was charged with disorderly conduct and harassment in which he was alleged to have "slapped a female nursing student on the behind." He was found not guilty at the trial but did admit to some wrong-doing and was disciplined by the team.
My Take
Looking at Baldwin's body type one might think him to be more of a down-field target and he can fill that role. But his great hands, focus and awareness make him an excellent possession receiver who will be a terror to defenses trying to cover him in the Browns' new west-coast offense. This guy can flat out catch the ball. I remember when Edwards was drafted there were Michigan fans who reported that "he catches the hard ones and drops the easy ones." This is not the case with Baldwin--he catches that hard ones AND the easy ones. Add to this his towering height and an ability to catch the ball at the apex and that translates to a better red-zone performance for the Browns. I don't see how opponents can hope to cover this guy in the corner of the end zone with a properly positioned throw. Also a great asset in the west coast is the ability to run after the catch and Baldwin has shown great ability to rack up yards after the catch. With his size and exceptional catching ability there is tremendous upside to this talented young wide receiver.
I see Baldwin as an excellent second round pick. I even think the Browns should consider trading a later pick (such as a 4th or 5th) to move up into the late 1st or early 2nd to get Baldwin should the need arise. I prefer to see the first pick this year used on a defensive lineman and I think the difference between Baldwin and any other wide receiver besides Green is insignificant.
On the other hand, wide receivers typically take a year or two to develop and the Browns need help at receiver right now. Free agency might be a better route to pick up a receiver if there is a proven, high-character player available. The character issue is also troubling with Baldwin but when the judge found him not guilty he actually scolded the prosecution for trying to make a bigger case of the incident than it was. If there was going to be a problem in this area I think it is good that he has already experienced what can happen and has hopefully learned a valuable lesson.
For your viewing pleasure, here are some of Baldwin's highlights: Here and here.
If you watch the second set of highlights you can see how he suffered with pretty bad quarterbacking last year. If the QB would have had the passes on the money he probably would have scored 4 TDs in this game against West Virginia. Baldwin had his coverage beat on several occasions only to have the ball overthrown or underthrown. Who knows what kind of stats he would have accumulated with a top QB throwing to him.

South Carolinians who served honorably in the Armed Forces can soon get a driver's license identifying them as a veteran.
Gov. Nikki Haley and Department of Motor Vehicles Director Kevin Shwedo are holding a news conference Friday to announce availability of the new licenses.
It comes nearly five months after legislators passed a law instructing the DMV to include a "V'' or the word "veteran" on driver's licenses. At least eight other states already do.
The legislation was sponsored by Sen. Jake Knotts of Lexington. He says he wanted to recognize veterans for their service and let businesses know if a customer is a veteran.
The law requires veterans to produce a form to show they were honorably discharged. They must pay a $1 fee to help defray costs.

Ospreys triumph over Treviso in season opener
Ospreys began their Rabo Direct Pro 12 season with a hard-fought victory over Benetton Treviso, whose run of five successive home wins against Welsh sides came to an end at Stadio Monigo.
Tries from Scott Baldwin and Ben John plus 14 points from the boot of Dan Biggar sealed an important victory for the Ospreys, who were made to work hard for their victory by a determined Treviso outfit.
The hosts led 12-10 at the start of the second half following four penalties from Alberto di Bernardo, while they then reduced the deficit to two points heading into the final quarter of an hour through Simone Favaro's try but Biggar's penalty effectively settled matters.
Final score Treviso 19-24 Ospreys.
