The rentals clearly are not properly maintained. I had to return one rental because the brakes and steering were not functioning properly, only to receive another rental which also had issues. Also, the manager did not offer any type of discount or extension of the rental time for the inconvenience. My move could not even get started until Saturday as opposed to Friday evening due to issues with the initial rental.
Give customer option on equipment that takes up space on the truck, such as Blankets and dolly.
I ordered a dolley.. There was no dolley on the truck. This caused a two hour delay in our move...When I returned the vehicle I was told ,well at least you weren't charged for it..... Well that's good for you that I wasn't and a little humility that you screwed up a part of my move would have been nice.
The truck worked great. Thank you.
Everything was great at this location.
We thought everyone was wonderful.
Check in staff was excellent and fast. Gas gauge seemed rigged against me. I only traveled 27 miles and I had to put in 6 gallons of gas to get the gauge back to where it was. That's 4.5 MPG. I know those trucks get at least 8- 11MPG. I was frustrated about putting 6 gallons of gas back in the tank, but I knew if I took it back with the gauge low I would be charged even more. Other than that it was fine.
CSRs were GREAT --- got us in and out and back in and out quickly and efficiently
Easiest self-move ever. Knowledgable, friendly staff. Truck and auto transport worked like a dream. I had never driven a truck with a trailer before, but would not hesitate to do it again. I dare say that it was a fun experience.
Service was friendly and prompt. The ladies at the counter were very nice, efficient and knowledgeable about the product. Will definitely use this location in the future.
Easy drop off!!
they did ok.
cheaper fluted cardboard plate seporators .
for peak hours more sales help
The system of findings us the best rate after returning the truck was fantastic, and checking out could not have been faster or easier. All good!
Customer service was very poor. Did not offer to help with the auto transport for a first time user. Had to ask, and when they did help they did not ensure the auto transport was secured properly.
Get more help... The girls was awesome and very polite... But I feel it was a busy time of the month, and there should have been more than two people working.
When we realized that we reserved a much too small truck for our needs, they worked hard to find us a larger truck. Thank you!
Centrally located, very friendly, and gave suggestion for smooth rental
The entire experience was unprofessional & traumatic. It all started with our reserverd truck not being there as scheduled and it went down hill from there. I never want to work with uhaul ever again.
Good experience, friendly and courteous staff!
Poor customer service ever!!!! Not friendly people at all! This location is low staffed and took me 40 minutes just to get my money back for returning the truck! Would NEVER come back here. Only had 2 people working the end of the month, which is ridiculous because this is the busiest days of any month. No one apologized for me being patient while they were the ones moving slow and didn't have a idea what they were doing. Will Never return here ever!
Dont be so bitchy
debited my account twice it fell off while it was pending but the charge had already posted not sure why my account was debited again
These guys were open early Sunday for the move. The entire team was nearly running to serve customers. They went above and beyond what a customer expected. They treated me better than my family does sometimes.
Have someone at the front desk.

THURSDAY, June 30 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration on Thursday advised doctors to warn women of
childbearing age that fetal exposure to certain drugs used to
control seizures or migraines appears to diminish intellectual
abilities in offspring.
The drugs include so-called "valproate products" -- medications
such as valproate sodium (Depacon), divalproex sodium (Depakote,
Depakote CP, Depakote ER), valproic acid (Depakene, Stavzor), and
their equivalent generic formulations, the FDA said in a
Children born to women who take these medications during their
pregnancy "have an increased risk of lower cognitive test scores
than children exposed to other anti-seizure medications during
pregnancy," the FDA said.
The agency said it based its conclusions on epidemiological
studies that showed that fetal exposures to the drugs tended to
correlate with lower scores on IQ and other cognitive tests.
Valproate drugs are FDA-approved for use against epilepsy,
migraine and bipolar disorder, although the agency notes that they
are also used "off-label" for other conditions, mainly other
psychiatric disorders.
The drugs have also long been linked to an increased risk of
birth defects known as neural tube defects, the agency noted.
The FDA advises that doctors counsel women of childbearing age
of the risks to offspring associated with valproate products, and
"weigh the benefits and risks of valproate when prescribing this
drug to women of childbearing age, particularly when treating a
condition not usually associated with permanent injury or death.
Alternative medications that have a lower risk of adverse birth
outcomes should be considered."
In late 2010, a Swedish study of over 1,200 teenage children
born to women with epilepsy found that those born to women who took
two or more epilepsy drugs while pregnant fared worse in school
than peers with no prenatal exposure to those medications.
The findings, published in
Epilepsia, echoed earlier research that linked prenatal exposure to epilepsy drugs, particularly valproic acid medications (such as Depakene and Depakote), to negative effects on a child's ability to process information, solve problems and make decisions.
"Our results suggest that exposure to several anti-epileptic drugs in utero may have a negative effect on a child's neurodevelopment," study author Dr. Lisa Forsberg of Karolinska University Hospital told HealthDay at the time.
Forsberg recommended that women with epilepsy plan their
pregnancies. "That way, they and their doctors can come up with
individual treatment plans that make the pregnancy safe for both
mother and child," she said.

Performer: Purdue University
Project No: FE0011796
Program Background and Project Benefits
This project will develop novel tools to predict creep-fatigue crack growth in nickel-based gas turbine alloys for stationary power applications. Incorporation of this new model into existing product life cycle management approaches at NETL has significant potential to reduce turbine manufacturing costs and maintenance costs through increased blade life, leading to lower plant costs and lower electricity costs. Specifically, this project will create and validate a robust, multi-scale, mechanism-based model that quantitatively predicts creep-fatigue crack growth and failure in the nickel-based gas turbine alloy IN 718.

I'm a retired engineer, but in the course of my career I worked with and hired a lot of engineers. Some of the best engineers I knew had no formal training at all, and some of the stupidest had advanced degrees. Go figure... And besides that, some of the most valuable contributors to the programs I worked on were not engineers at all (by title). For example, at one defense contractor, our machinist had decades of experience working with materials and components that I had no experience with at all. I had the degree, he didn't, but I could not get the job done without him. Not to mention, he was well-paid and hadn't wasted years in college getting some worthless degree. Instead, he became a skilled tradesman.

DAT SMIRK. Black Lady may not be my favorite villain, but damn is she full of snark. xD
Wiseman enjoys killing characters as I start to love them.
This is the best. Not only did they do something for friends but it was to help a villain they typically hated…
well not really but more like they thought ACK VILLAIN.
And Saphir's face. :) He's never experienced kindness like this from enemies. I just love this moment.
Turn your hatred upon this world.
A comment about this scene: I just would like to say that Wiseman aka Death Phantom is 10 times worse than Demande. I don't like Demande and I do not condone what he tried to do with Usagi, but Wiseman, an old, deteriorating skeleton, made a little girl into a woman prematurely and brainwashed her.
Enough said.
And just when I was starting to love her…..
Sorry I just really like this sequence. xD

The Buffalo Sabres have three games left on the schedule before the Olympic break, the first two will be at home, and the third game will be hosted by division rivals the Ottawa Senators. The Sabres need this Olympic break, not because they deserve it, but it gives Tim Murray time to really assess the team that he has recently taken over.
Happy Monday, enjoy the links!
Here is a quick update on everything Sabres from Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald – the article also goes in-depth about Linus Omark facing his old team tonight, which would be just after he ridicules Omark for his play in Buffalo. [Olean Times Herald]
The Edmonton Oilers have been down right terrible the last few years, and they know it. This season though it has been slightly different for the Oilers, a new team has joined them at the bottom. I suppose that makes tonight's game the toilet bowl of the NHL! [Edmonton Journal]
Were you wrapped up in all the hype of the Super Bowl yesterday? Then you missed the fact that there were two NHL games on the schedule. Here is yesterday's three stars of the day. [Puck Daddy]
NHL.com's Sunday Long Read features coach Ken Hitchcock this week – an article that goes into detail about how Hitchcock views the NHL and the game of hockey. [NHL.com]
Here is a final tally of which teams in the NHL are sending the most players to the Olympics – obviously the Sabres will not be on this list. [The Hockey News]

A bathroom, like the kitchen, is one of the hardest-working spaces in the home. If it's not functional, everybody suffers. Keep all of its functions in mind when choosing the sink, tub, shower, toilet and other pieces. For instance, the bathroom is a workstation for preparing for the day so plenty of storage and access to outlets is key.

The easiest way to get there is using CCleaners tool.In an admin acct open CCleanerTools | Startup | Internet Explorer | right click and disable.This you can do for all sorts of extensions.This is what it does:Navigates to this key for me for Adobe Reader:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{18DF081C-E8AD-4283-A596-FA578C2EBDC3}It sets a DWORD entry NoExplorer with a value of 1Once you have created your own disabled DWORD entry, you can then export it for later as per your request.Added note: The CCleaner tool will also open the registry entry for any plugin item, theoretically you could disable all sorts of entries for IE then export the whole registry entry. You could also do this for your startup items to some extent and have a bulk registry file if you install the exact same software across numerous machines. The problem with startup items is the softwares will still try to set the entry, startup items are best turned off in the programs themselves.--The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke
I do not want to diable Internet Explorer, I only want to disable the Adobe Reader Add-on. Because since Adobe Reader 11 came out, they took out the option checkbox to disable View PDF in Browser under the Preferences > Internet setting in Adobe. And the only to do it, is by my print screen.So, I want to just disable this Add-on by using the registry. But I dont know if we understand each other on this. But this time, I gave you pretty much all the details now.Thanks

For those who really would prefer to visit 'Aircrew Remembrance Society' please contact us and we will provide you with their website address.
After spending 4000 hours of our own time AND at our own cost developing a presence for aircrew stories, we were forced to conclude it was no longer possible for us to continue to support or work with the two people who style themselves rather pompously as 'Aircrew Remembrance Society'. The only thing we regret about our decision is that we let their abusive and unacceptable behaviour go on for as long as we did. We should have cut them adrift much earlier.
Thus far we have kept a dignified silence about all this and have never responded to the long chain of lies this pair have uttered about us, but we've had enough. We were prepared to forget the past and get on with the future, but they just keep banging on about how dreadful we are.
A year after we told them to take a hike, this pair continues to lie about us on their new site, claiming we 'hijacked' their site name and content. They do this to deflect readers from the fact they can't be bothered to do the hard work needed to develop a really useful site, as a result of which their new site has seen just a dribble of new content in the past 12 months.
The facts are we always owned and paid for the old site name and we developed and owned the vast majority of its content ourselves with very little input from them. We were the ones up at 2AM responding to family emails. And when we moved our own content over to our new site, we left behind the few pages they had written. A very small number of pages, in fact. We have no need to hijack anything: we've added over 300,000 records to our site in the past 12 months! That's what hard work and dedication can do.
Instead of strutting around posing as 'Chairman' of a non-existent entity (last time we checked, there is no 'Society' as you and I recognize the term, it's just a name they invented so they can seem important) this pair should stop their pathetic and childish moaning about us, and get on with the hard work of making their own site the best it can be.
In December 2012 we designed our new site Aircrew Remembered to enable us to deploy new technologies that we hope will make possible the release of millions of untold personal stories currently buried in cupboards and drawers across the world. We've made several advances already to enhance our service, and there's a lot more to come.
All our earlier copyrighted work is on the new site and our work continues, and indeed greatly expands. You will shortly arrive at our new site where you should find the information you are seeking today plus many more subjects to interest you. We have over 400,000 individual records at varying levels of detail to study! Please use the Search facilities on Aircrew Remembered to locate the specific page you are looking for and remember to Bookmark our site.
If you submitted information or photos in the past and are interested to know how this material was dealt with in regard to the new site, please contact us and we will, of course, respond. Respect for you and your loved ones is foremost: that is why we do this work. Email UsWe hope you enjoy our new site, which has been built for you, the family member and researcher.

Pixeljam make art in the tradition of Nintendo guru Shigeru Miyamoto and filmmakers the Coen Brothers.
Like Miyamoto, they have a reverent, childish imagination. Their simple obsessions blossom into tight, pure game designs. And like the Coen's characters, Pixeljam's protagonists (the hungry Ratmaze Rat, the domestic Gamma Bros., or the Romantic, pastoral Dino of Dino Run) are preoccupied with the pursuit of the simple life, but struggle to cope with the presence of evil.
That they manage to wring out such emotional depth from blocky pixels and fat-free design is shocking. That they seem genuinely humble and unaware of their genius is even more so. Rich Grilloti (art) and Miles Tilmann (programming, sound), the two masterminds behind Pixeljam, took some time to answer some of my questions via email.
THM: Choose three video games to represent the medium as an art form to an outsider.
Tilmann: What a tough first question! I really have to dig deep and try to remember the games that made an impression on me beyond mere entertainment. I would say Karateka was one of those games, and perhaps Passage by Jason Rohrer would be an obvious choice, although I'm stuck trying to think of a third. I've played a lot of amazing games, but I'm not sure if I would consider any of them "art".
With Dino Run, it seems like you were pushing gameplay as a narrative tool. The act of playing is what progresses the game and its themes. It doesn't rely on explanatory text or cutscenes.
Grillotti: I don't think there was ever a thought about cutscenes for this game. I would however like to have nice, big, pixel-y cutscenes for some future games. An adventure game, or an RPG, perhaps.
Tilmann: To make an immersive prehistoric environment I think it was necessary to remove any trace of humans, including typical human ways of conveying information like cutscenes and narrative. Although I don't think we did this on purpose. We just didn't have tons of time and budget for the game and had to present it as simply as possible, which for this type of game, works out to its advantage.
Your games are very—gameplay seems to flow from the graphics. Are these organic designs a result of your working process?
Tilmann: I think it's because Rich and I are close friends and I feel like I understand what he wants to see when he gives me the graphics and animations. Of course, I never have the time and energy to make exactly what he wants, but it usually comes out close enough to satisfy both of us. I can imagine in a larger development environment where the programmers are not terribly familiar with the personalities the artists, or even friends for that matter, that the gameplay would suffer because of that personal disconnect.
The ambient effects lend a lot to the surreality of an idyllic world ending in Dino Run. What was the feeling you were aiming for?
Tilmann: That's probably a question for both [third Pixeljam member] Mark DeNardo and myself. We work on the music and sound together. Mark is really good at coming up with very organic and sometimes otherworldly sounds using a Gameboy, and I neurotically comb through 30-40 minutes of his improvisations to find the perfect sound for a stegosaurus moan, or a distant bird about to be squashed by a boulder.
You were recognized at the Independent Games Festival Awards last year. What were your impressions of the other games? Are you looking forward to this year's IGF?
Grillotti: From this year I liked Crayon Physics Deluxe a whole lot. I would like to go next year, sure. We'll enter Dino Run and see what happens.
Tilmann: I just noticed a few days ago that the Best Web Browser Game category has been removed, so it will be interesting to see how flash games can actually compete with the big boys. It's somewhat discouraging, but at the same time I think it will be good for the flash game community, as it will encourage them to get their act together and stop making crappy addictive games just to collect advertising revenue.
What kind of alternate business models do you think would help the flash game community?
Tilmann: I'm not sure what type of model would help the community financially, but if we want to talk about making the world a better place to live, or at least enabling some sort of social evolution, we need to move away from the current model of:
1) Make game as banal and addictive as possible.
2) Drown game in ads that appeal to the lowest reptilian faculties of the brain.
3) Make money, go back to step 1).
It's somewhat painful for me to see our game spread to sites that are obviously pathetic attempts to cash in, instead of helping spread a form of media that can affect positive social change if utilized correctly. I think most people would agree that gaming is still in its infancy, so I think we'll just have to be patient for now.
A Pixeljam RPG or puzzle game: what would they be?
Grillotti: We have some ideas for a Pixeljam RPG involving a wizard-type character…
Tilmann: We are also brainstorming a puzzle game that might be one of our next projects, but I won't give away anything else.
The Dino Run character has very natural, instinctual expressions no matter how dire his situation—probably how a real dinosaur would have looked during disaster. Despite this, he creates a deep connection with the player, even instilling deep terror when he is near death.
Grillotti: Yeah, he's a pretty calm dinosaur, considering the circumstances.
Tilmann: I would imagine that huge reptiles would stay pretty focused regardless of what's going on. We'd like to keep the characters realistic but lovable at the same time. It's a tough balance.
How do you get so much expression and empathy out of pixels?
Grillotti: I'm amazed how it actually works out sometimes, really. I think timing is a pretty important aspect. And trial and error is certainly a part of it. One frame at a time, pixel by pixel. And I think I put myself in the position of what's going on for the character, the responses and reactions just come naturally to mind, and then I am off pushing pixels around to animate it.
A lot of traditional art critics are seem scared of the video-game medium because they've spent decades analyzing mostly static works. What do you think interactivity brings to art?
Grillotti: Another dimension for creativity to work through. I don't know much about what critics are saying about games in the context of art. I do think some games and game experiences are certainly art to me.
What kind of messages can we get from it that we can't from old-fashioned static art?
Grillotti: Depends what messages the designers are trying to express, if any. In a game, it can be an effective way to engage people by drawing them into identification with a character, get emotions and bodily responses involved. The creative possibilities are really unlimited. But the range of what can be interactive art is vast and mediums are really merging. Cinema, games, music, art, communication of thoughts, ideas, and concepts in general; it's evolving.
Tilmann: I think it's really important to send a positive message once you've made a deep connection with the player. It seems irresponsible not to, considering that video games have more or less captured the imagination of most young people around the world. I'm not sure where Dino Run fits into this, but I'd like to think that the wall of doom is a metaphor for a possible future that nobody really wants, so we'd better start improving (and evolving) ourselves.
I had a friend in grade school during the 90s named Robert Hubbard. Do you think he was secretly C64 composer Rob Hubbard?
Tilmann: [Rob Hubbard] was born in 1956, so I'm doubting it.
Was your time at Florida State University valuable?
Grillotti: Sure it was valuable. I began to question what art was there, and that led to a lot of exploring. I did manage to create a particular area of interest of my own. I became interested in different forms of energy and the aspect of spontaneous creation, and basically wanted to get familiar with it through the creative process. So, it became a focus and I worked in many mediums, and I also wound up doing abstract pixel animations from that (under the domain of pixeljam.com). Eventually I wound up playing with character forms and looking for the most minimal pixel art I could make, where it still looked like the object I was trying to create. I found a very minimal balance I really liked that I hadn't quite seen before. Miles and I were roommates at the time, and he was interested in trying to program simple games in Flash, so we decided to try to make a game with the stuff I was making.
What kinds of games do you think your favourite classic artists would have made?
Grillotti: I have no idea! I bet Dali would have made some very interesting "games" (interactive art) if it was an option. Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, cavemen that made cave paintings…
Tilmann: Good question. I imagine that some of those artists would not necessarily make what we would call a game, but perhaps more like a tool, or an experience. The word "game" is somewhat loaded I think. I know that in the future we would like to make some "art toys" that people get in touch with their creativity, in the same way that Lego, Etch-A-Sketch and Light Bright did for our generation. I'm pretty excited about that prospect.

ImpactLehner has earned more playing time with his great play. On Saturday, he allowed just two goals on 40 shots to post a .950 save percentage in the game. He helped kill both Blue Jacket power plays. Lehner will likely stay in net as long as he is playing well.

NewsLeft wing Clarke MacArthur should be a solid contributer this season for the Senators.
ImpactHe is coming off a 55-point season, and is firmly in the prime of his career, at 29-years-old. MacArthur could eventually see time on Ottawa's top line, making him a potential steal late in drafts.

NewsSenators winger Bobby Ryan will look to score 30 goals, yet again.
ImpactHe had a somewhat down year during his first season with Ottawa (23 goals, 25 assists). Look for Ryan to be closer to the 60-point mark in 2014-15. Target him starting anywhere from the fifth round.

NewsSenators left wing Milan Michalek looks to improve in 2014-15.

Those concerned that Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson would be in a 50-50 time share situation with Robin Lehner should like the words spoken by head coach Paul MacLean on Friday. | 09/20/2014 12:09 AM
NewsThose concerned that Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson would be in a 50-50 time share situation with Robin Lehner should like the words spoken by head coach Paul MacLean on Friday.
Impact"Craig Anderson is the No. 1 goaltender," reports Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen. Anderson was a disappointing 25-16-8 with a 3.00 GAA and .911 save percentage last season. Only time will tell, but we see Lehner with a significant workload.

NewsLeft wing Clarke MacArthur and the Senators have come to terms on a five-year extension.
ImpactMacArthur went on to tell the Ottawa Sun that he will not change the way he plays the game. "Just because I've got a five-year deal, that doesn't mean I need to change a whole lot.

Kyle Turris poised to replace Jason Spezza | 07/12/2014 9:58 AM
NewsBarring a trade by the Ottawa Senators, Kyle Turris is the primary candidate to fill the first-line, center's job left vacant by the departure of Jason Spezza.
Ottawa Sun
ImpactTwo seasons ago, when Spezza was injured, Turris was 22 and forced into the top spot. When Spezza returned in 2013-14, Turris was relieved. He said he enjoyed centring the second line and not having to see the opposition's best defensive players every shift. He responded with his best NHL season -- 26 goals, 32 assists, 58 points and a plus-22 rating -- and at least part of that had to do with the extra breathing space. Now Turris is better equipped for the more prominent posting. "I definitely think I've learned a lot over the past two years from those experiences, from being put into that role when Spezz was hurt, and seeing how hard the matchup is," Turris said. "I just tried to take that mentality and put it into the role I had this past year. This upcoming year, if I'm put into that role again, I think the experience I have now will work in my favor, to know what to expect and how better to prepare for it. If I get that opportunity I'll be excited about it."
Ottawa agrees to terms with Derek Grant | 07/10/2014 8:15 PM

Senators GM Bryan Murray has cancer | 07/07/2014 1:26 PM
NewsOttawa Senators GM Bryan Murray has been diagnosed with cancer.
ImpactMurray will start undergoing treatment immediately and his battle might require that he periodically spends some time away from the Senators.

Shane Prince is aware of the trade rumors | 07/07/2014 9:51 AM
NewsShane Prince has been the subject of trade rumors lately.
Ottawa Sun
ImpactThe Senators are still believed to be in the trade market as they try to offset the loss of Jason Spezza. Prince alone wouldn't get them an established player, but he could be used as part of a larger package. "Obviously they're trying to make a deal, and guys have to go the other way," Prince said. "I don't really think about it too much. If it happens to be me, then so be it. That's great. If not, that's also great. I'm happy to be here. There's obviously a lot of options to go the other way, it's not just me. I don't really think about it, I just control what I can control." He had 21 goals and 48 points in 69 AHL games last season.

"I got invited for a reason, they obviously like the way I play. I've got to go there, nothing to lose, and just leave a good impression." The Ottawa Senators' prospect is projected to return to the OHL's Guelph Storm for the 2014-15 campaign.
Senators feel Legwand fills a hole at center | 07/05/2014 1:25 PM
NewsThe signing of David Legwand should take away some pressure from Kyle Turris and Mika Zibanejad.
Ottawa Citizen
ImpactLegwand believes he can serve as the team's second-line center and GM Bryan Murray likes his versatility. "David is a good veteran center, a guy who skates pretty well and gets up and down the ice," Murray said in an audio statement. "He's an experienced guy who can fit in either at the top or bottom of the lineup. He has been a captain and a leader, so we know we're getting a good person." Legwand generated 14 goals and 51 points in 83 games between Nashville and Detroit last campaign.
Legwand could team up with Bobby Ryan | 07/05/2014 10:05 AM
NewsThere is a chance that newly-signed center David Legwand could play alongside winger Bobby Ryan this upcoming season.
ImpactClarke MacArthur, the Sens' other natural left winger has developed chemistry with top pivot Kyle Turris, so it seems logical that the club's other top port-sider would line up with Legwand, who is slated to be Ottawa's second-line center. Although neither is a star, the Legwand-Ryan duo could be surprisingly effective.
Ceci shines at Sens' development camp | 07/05/2014 10:01 AM
NewsCody Ceci, who has 50 games of NHL experience, is far ahead of the other Senators' prospects at this week's development camp.
ImpactThis shouldn't come as a surprise. Ceci showed tremendous promise at points during the 2013-14 in Ottawa and should be a fixture on the Sens' blueline for years to come. We expect him to take a huge leap forward and register 35 points this upcoming campaign.

NewsThe Ottawa Senators have signed David Legwand to a two-year, $6 million contract.
Senators.nhl.com on Twitter
ImpactLegwand had 14 goals and 51 points in 83 games with Detroit and Nashville last season. He can't hope to fill the void left by Jason Spezza, but he is a solid top-two center and is actually something of a bargain at that price. He will earn $2.5 million next season and $3.5 million in 2015-16.
Mark Stone wants to dominate development camp | 07/03/2014 5:59 PM
NewsMark Stone wants to stand out at Ottawa's development camp.
Ottawa Citizen
Impact"I feel like I need to dominate when I'm out on the ice and show I can play at the next level," said Stone. "When it comes right down to it, if people can see the things I've gone through from my first development camp to my fifth, I'm just trying to show that I've become better over time." He played alongside Kyle Turris and Clarke MacArthur at the end of season when Bobby Ryan was injured. Stone has played 23 games with Ottawa over the past two years. He'll be looking to seize a full-time NHL spot in 2014-15.
Ottawa agrees to terms with Aaron Johnson | 07/03/2014 3:51 PM

ImpactHe produced 13 goals, 12 assists and 91 penalty minutes in 68 games with Binghamton of the AHL last season. Dziurzynski dressed in 12 NHL games with the Senators in 2012-13, but he didn't get any time with the big club this past campaign.
Alex Chiasson set for new challenge in Ottawa | 07/03/2014 11:26 AM
NewsAlex Chiasson is looking forward to playing in Ottawa.
Ottawa Sun
Impact"I'm really excited for this opportunity that's coming to me," he said after being acquired from Dallas in the Jason Spezza trade. "It's definitely a new challenge and I'm really looking forward to the new experience. It should be a fun year ahead." He feels ready to play for a Canadian team and heard good thing about the city of Ottawa from Antoine Vermette, who partners with Chiasson in a summer training program.

NewsCarter Camper has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Ottawa Senators.
ImpactThe Columbus Blue Jackets acquired Camper from Boston in February in exchange for Blake Parlett, but didn't retain his services. Camper had 12 goals and 51 points in 60 AHL games last season.

Darren Dreger on Twitter
Milan Michalek re-signs with Sens | 07/01/2014 12:27 PM
NewsMilan Michalek has re-signed with the Senators for three-years and $12 million.
ImpactAfter a disappointing season where he registered a mere 39 points in 82 games, Michalek might be poised for a bit of a bounce-back campaign. That said, he will no longer have Jason Spezza to play alongside of and that may temper the extent of his comeback.
Ottawa gets prospect Nicholas Paul from Stars | 07/01/2014 11:15 AM
NewsThe Dallas Stars have sent Nicholas Paul to the Ottawa Senators as part of the Jason Spezza deal.

Spezza trade talks leave Sens at standstill | 07/01/2014 10:49 AM
NewsBecause Ottawa wasn't able to trade Jason Spezza before the start of the unrestricted free agent period, the Senators are going into it in an awkward position.
Ottawa Citizen
ImpactThe Senators don't know exactly how much money they have to work with because there's no guarantee yet if Spezza will be traded. Even if he is, factoring in what the return might be for him into their plans is difficult until a trade is finalized. The sooner the Senators can trade Spezza, the easier the rest of their offseason is likely to be, but they don't want to trade him for less than they feel he's worth.
Jason Spezza could circle back to Nashville? | 06/30/2014 11:06 AM

Impact"Nashville was on Jason's list that we put together a while ago and without the benefit of a crystal ball, I can't say (if that will change)," agent Rick Curran said. "Call me in three or four days and we might have a better answer." The Predators and Senators had something worked out at the draft, but a deal was vetoed by Spezza's camp because Nashville is on the center's no-trade list. St. Louis and Chicago are still in the hunt, along with Dallas, and whichever team misses out on a middleman like Paul Stastny in free agency could go after Spezza once the dust settles on the "frenzy."

NewsSenators general manager Bryan Murray knows he might have to alter the package he expects to get back in a Jason Spezza deal.
ImpactMurray originally wanted a first-round pick, but no team was willing to give one up during this year's draft. "I think going forward there will be discussion, I believe there will be," Murray said. "[Spezza] is a quality player in the NHL. If we can do something we'll do something, whether it be a pick or, from my point of view I'd like to get a couple of guys to put on the ice. ... So I don't know whether it was because of the draft and on the day of the draft, picks are very valuable, whether that was part of it or it was something different. "Murray is prepared to be patient with a trade.

It is not clear where Spezza, who has requested a trade, will go now. This situation has the potential to drag on over the summer which would not be a good thing for Ottawa GM Bryan Murray, the Sens or Spezza. Of course, after a number of free agents sign next week, things could loosen up again. The Predators are said to be looking for a number one pivot to team with newly-acquired James Neal. Spezza could fit the bill if he would agree to waive his no-trade provision to Nashville. Stay tuned.

NewsAlthough he registered an extremely impressive 74 points this season to lead all defencemen in scoring, Erik Karlsson was criticized by his coach Paul MacLean for his defensive play.

Defensively, his competitiveness was hampered by his continuous recovery from his Achilles tendon injury he had last year," MacLean said. "He's not a big guy so he has to depend on his skating ability and stability on his skates and he didn't have a lot of confidence in that. In saying that, it can't be an excuse for some of the shoddy play he had during the season. He is our best player and moving forward he's going to be an important part of what we do." It will be interesting to see if Karlsson reacts positively to this tough love approach.

Influenza, or flu, is a respiratory infection caused by a variety of flu viruses. The "flu" is a common catch-all term used for a variety of illnesses, but it correctly applies only to the upper respiratory disease caused by the influenza virus.
Estimates are that between 15% and 40% of the population will develop illness from influenza every year. An average of about 36,000 people per year in the United States die from influenza, and 114,000 per year have to be admitted to the hospital as a result of influenza infection. Anyone can get the flu (even healthy people), and serious problems from influenza can happen at any age. People age 65 years and older, people of any age with chronic medical conditions, and very young children are more likely to get complications from influenza.
For the most current information about influenza in Florida, please see Florida's weekly surveillance report, the Florida Flu Review.

2011 general election totals
Election results delayed
The clear winners of a few races in Tunica County's general election were not apparent Tuesday night, as Election Commissioners remained at the courthouse hand counting absentee ballots until well after midnight.
At presstime on Wednesday, unofficial totals were still being held, pending input from the Attorney General's office. The commission did release numbers that did not include any absentee or affidavit ballot counts. How many ballots will be counted is also unknown.
In the contested races, Beat 2 Supervisor, incumbent Cedric Burnett, leads challenger Mark Hudson 378 to 226. In the race for District 3's supervisor seat, Phillis V. Williams was ahead of incumbent Paul Battle 436 to 279. Henry 'Lil Sonny' Nickson Jr. led incumbent Bobby E. Williams 230 to 180 in the race for District 4. Rev. McKinley Daley was ahead of Rico Harris 320 to 310. Constable Southern District Incumbent Lil Joe Anderson posted 1037 to Tyler Brown's 271.
Developers eyeing local properties
With at least two possible developers looking at Tunica County property, interest in wind farms is accelerating.
In August, public notices in this newspaper declared the intent of Torch Renewable Energy and Property Management Southeast to place meteorological towers in Southeast Tunica County to gauge wind conditions over the course of a year. Now, a conditional use permit is also being sought for property in East Tunica County belonging to James Daniel.
Eric Bergstrom, Project Development Manager for Wind Capital Group, brought local Rotary members up to date on wind farm technology in late October.
