I couldn't agree more. They played the way they needed to in order to get the W. And even though there weren't many goals, there were a lot of good saves! Couldn't be happier that they are coming back with 4 out of 4 points on that road trip. Now it's all about Saturday and lord knows we owe the flyers a beat down or 3! GO HABITANTS!

If Cole and Pacman step it up this team is going to be hard to beat! The kids are looking fantastic and I don't see them slowing down one bit, on the contrary I only see them growing more confident as the season continues. The addition of Prust has payed off large, Bourque is a machine this year and the depth on our blueline runs real deep with a healthy Markov and a signed PK. Not to mention Emelin, I love that guy! He doesn't get talked about enough and you know every player in the league is looking over their shoulder and keeping their head up when he's on the ice. Jesus Price. Nuff Said! GO HABS!

This is my daughters 5th year at Antioch. We love the small classroom size and family like environment. My daughter is in 2nd grade ( she did 2 yrs of preschool) and is reading at a 6th grade level. Her math skills are great and her vocabulary is amazing. She is 7 years old and I could not be happier with her academically! The social aspect of the school is great as well she has grown up with the children that are now in the 6th,7th and 8th grades and therefor has no fear in giving speeches and presentations in front of them. ( yes she has given speeches and presentations already!) I would and do recommend Antioch to all my friends and family!
I love this school! This was our first year and could not be more happy. The small class room size and student to teacher ratio is amazing. The teacher was informative on a daily basis. It is a warm and friendly environment among other parents and teachers. I highly recommend this school.
This school did not adhere to the mission to provide a safe and nurturing academic environment for my child. I wasted over $9K in two years for my child to be a victim of humiliation tactics by his teacher. My child now scored the highest grade in NECAPS in public school and is recognized as an exemplary student both academically and behaviorally in his public school.
Not worth the tuition. No gym. The Principal stood by when I inquired about applying for my child and never introduced himself. Not a welcoming environment. There is no gym. Students use the main room for cafeteria and gym. Last year, an employee fried his shirt in the microwave. Look elsewhere before you jump into this.
After researching many private schools in the MA and RI vicinity I was incredibly impressed with Antioch's philosophy, curriculum, and overall interest they take each their student's education. My daughter is the in Pre-K class and I am impressed with how positive of an atmosphere there is at this school The teachers are able to chat and give a synopsis my daughter's day wuth a face to face progress report when I pick her up. This school/community has been a pleasure to be a part of overall and would suggest Antioch as an excellent choice for any parent for their child.
Excellent school! Small classes, attentive teachers and happy students! This is the 3rd year my daughter attends this school and we love it!
Took the tour and enjoyed it, but am glad we decided against sending our kiddo there. A friend's kiddo is being treated like real garbage, while another pulled her kiddo, opting for a (GASP!) public school, because the social environment is BETTER at the public school. Save your money, we did!
I went to this school nearly 15 years ago and it tremendously jump started my education. I am currently attending The University of California at Santa Barbra and could not be any happier!
My children went here and loved it. Now my grandson is enrolled and loves it too. It's a wonderful place to entrust your children.
Entering this school is like a breath of fresh air, relaxing and invigorating at the same time. A great learning environment for academics and life experience.
This School is amazing and I love the tachers and kids!!!!!

Kansas education officials are seeking to calm concerns about the student data that is being collected as the state switches to new education standards.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that two Kansas State Department of Education officials answered questions during Tuesday's board. The questions are coming amid the switch to the Common Core educational standards. The new standards replace a hodgepodge of educational goals that had varied greatly from state to state.
Education department information technology director Kathy Gosa says information collected includes demographic data and test scores. Much of that data is aggregated without personal identifiers and used to determine state or federal funding.
Speaking at the meeting, former board of education member Walt Chappell urged the board to "please stop collecting so much data on children and families."

Wonder if Kris will be invited to the baby shower?
Via RadarOnline reports:
Pregnant reality TV star Kim Kardashian is venting to close friends that her estranged husband, Kris Humphries, is ruining her life because he is "hell bent on dragging her name through the mud by prolonging the divorce proceedings" and claims if not for the delay, she'd already be married to her baby daddy, Kanye West, by now, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
"Kim is seeing red because she is still legally married to Kris Humphries. Kim is overjoyed at the news that she is pregnant with Kanye's baby, but she isn't able to fully embrace it because of Kris. Kim feels that Kris is hell bent on dragging her name through the mud by prolonging the divorce proceedings," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
"Kim knows that she most likely will still be married to Kris when she gives birth to Kanye's baby, and that absolutely sickens her. Kim has been pressuring her attorney, Laura Wasser, to get Humphries to sign off on the divorce, to no avail. Kris is holding the position that if Kim grants him an annulment on the grounds that the marriage was a sham, this whole thing ends. However, Kim won't give in to his demands because it would damage her brand," the insider added.
On Friday, February 15 – the day after Valentine's Day – Kim and Kris' divorce lawyers will be in court setting a date for the trial. The earliest the trial can be scheduled would be the middle of June to accommodate Kris' basketball schedule. His team the Nets is now in second place in its division, and the play-offs don't end until June. Kim, who's 12 weeks pregnant, is due at the end of June.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the reality starlet's rapper boyfriend announced Kim's pregnancy at his concert in Atlantic City last Sunday night.
When will this
sham marriage end!?!?
Its a pride thing! They both wont bend to end the marriage, but Kim at this point, everyone knows the marriage was faker than a lil but, you may as well do whatya gotta do to end it with the dumped hump!
These two will be married forever if this keeps up! Kanye taught you to not care what others think, just get it annulled, no matter what the haters say, and move forward!

About Lisa Steuer
We live in Charleston SC and Tampa FL and love our getaways to the mountains of North Carolina - especially in the hot summer months. In the fall, the colors are beautiful and remind us of where we grew up in southern Ontario and Bavaria.

Why Lisa Steuer chose Burnsville
My husband and I bought our cabin in 2006 and immediately fell in love with the people and surroundings of the South Toe Valley. Five years later we joined with my architect sister and her husband to build this new, beautiful cabin on the neighboring property, so now more people can experience the beauty of this area. We hope you will join us soon!

It would seem an unlikely time to sign up for an unlikely web site. I'd seen SparkPeople referred to on other web sites I frequent, in connection with food tracking. I had never seriously considered looking at the site, because I don't track food. Don't want to, and the one experiment I had with it in the 1980s was not a long term success. The site is totally unlikely for me.
Then there's the moment. I was on vacation, visiting family. My sister, ONEKIDSMOM, talked me into looking at how things work. The site says I started on 7/10/2011, but I only registered that evening. Tracking started 7/11/2011 . . . the last day of my visit. A day of big meals eating out. The day before a two day road trip home, with all meals eaten from fast food. Starting a new discipline in this total break from my normal routine doesn't seem like the sort of thing that could last.
But . . . I'm between 5 and 10 pounds heavier than I was a year ago. A year ago, I was at my lowest weight in 20 years. I was as fit as I've been in my adult life, and it felt pretty good. But it didn't maintain itself automatically.
I've gone the route of exercising and just trying to eat reasonably without keeping track. It's done well for me, but hasn't worked consistently. Life happens, the exercise falls away, and the eating goes out of control. Maybe not out of control a lot, but enough to gain 10 pounds in a year. Something has to change, and the SparkPeople site got my attention.
So far, so good. The act of recording changes the decisions that are being recorded, for the better. Eventually, if I keep this up, I should have some idea of what kind of food intake I should be aiming for, and more control of myself in getting there.
The sixty four thousand dollar question is, will I keep this up? The first test will be next week when I go back to work and have commitments and pressures I don't have on vacation.

TAMPA - They used to be known as the last line of defense.
Now, safeties such as Troy Polamalu and Adrian Wilson are much more. They are ball hawks, pass rushers and run-stoppers.
In the NFL, safeties are in, and these two are big reasons why.
Polamalu and Wilson are soft-spoken, humble types who credit other elite safeties for raising the position's profile. But make no mistake: They are two defenders whose versatility has helped redefine the position.

Cards notes: Fitzgerald would rework deal to keep "Q"
INTERACTIVE: Follow Cards fans to the Super Bowl
The Pittsburgh safety is a whirling dervish; the Cardinals probably have to account for the presence of Polamalu – and his high-flying hair -- all over the field more than any other player.
Polamalu, who was born in Santa Ana, Calif. and attended high school in Oregon, is of Samoan descent. He embraces the role of serving as a model for young people from Samoan and Polynesian backgrounds.
"I think every athlete realizes that, whether it's their family, their faith or their culture, when they step onto the field, they represent something," Polamalu said.
"There are not many big Samoan players who have a shot of really making the Super Bowl and getting that type of prestige. It's really an honor."
Arizona fans probably first noticed him at USC, where he played from 1999-2002.
Nationally, fans know him mostly by the long, flowing hair that he says has become "like an extra appendage."
"Sometimes I wish I could go without it," said Polamalu, who added that it's a "dead give-away" for his identity when he's out in public.
But that's just it; it's part of his identity.
Opponents know him by his unpredictable whereabouts on the field.
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt, who faced him in practice for years when he was offensive coordinator for the Steelers, said, "I have been frustrated with Troy many, many times going against him. He is all over the field.
"We have to be very disciplined about knowing where Troy is.
"The biggest thing with Troy is underestimating his ability to make a play on the ball from the line of scrimmage. … He is a big part of why that defense is so potent."
In Arizona, Wilson has been a quasi-linebacker for years, rushing the passer and stuffing the run.
He has had an often brilliant career, marred only by penalties (though this really hasn't been a problem this season).
He has 18.5 sacks and 18 interceptions for his career, meaning he should end up as one of the few players ever to go 20-20 for their careers.
More than this, Wilson represents the resilience of the Cardinals and their fans.
He's the "senior Cardinal" having been with them since 2001. He stuck with them through the lean years, in part because he didn't think the franchise was hopeless and in part so his family could stay rooted.
And now he's being rewarded.
"I have a wife and two kids. You never want to move your family around. You want to be as stable as possible," Wilson said.
"For me, I think it's very important and important for my kids, more than anything, to have those grounded roots and not have to move around everywhere. The dedication you have to one place… means a lot."
In addition, "pride and stubbornness" kept him going over the years.
"It was a just a great sense of pride and not leaving a job undone, just wanting to stick it out and try to get things turned around," he said. "It's a hard process, but once it's completed, it makes you feel a lot better."
Because the Cardinals had been losers through most of his career, Wilson didn't get much national notice, despite his great stats.
"Now, because of the stage of the Super Bowl… and throughout the playoffs, people are able to see the kind of player he is," Cards defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast said.
Wilson's biggest improvement this season has been taking on a leadership role, according to coach Ken Whisenhunt.
In particular, he's worked with Antrel Rolle, who is making the transition from cornerback to safety, and with rookie cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
"He took that mantle of leadership and ran with it," Whisenhunt said. "I've seen him grow in that role tremendously this year."
As for the position's higher profile, Wilson cites Polamalu more than any other player.
"I really idolize the way he plays on the field. I think he stands out more than any of the other safeties who are playing."
He also points to Ed Reed of Baltimore, who – like Polamalu – consistently comes up with game-breaking interceptions.
"When you have guys like that, it helps the whole league," Wilson said. "Just to have my name mentioned with those guys is a huge compliment."
For his part, Polamalu credits Reed, Wilson, Bob Sanders of Indianapolis and Rodney Harrison of New England for raising the stature of the position.
In fact, he breaks down videotape of those players after every season and tries to incorporate their best tendencies into his own game.
"Adrian Wilson, the way he blitzes, the way he plays run support… his athleticism is pretty amazing," Polamalu said.
Safeties such as Ronnie Lott of San Francisco have made a big splash in the past, Polamalu said, but the position only started to get real notice recently when Reed "started making all those big plays a few years ago."
Now, with offenses becoming more sophisticated and explosive, "Safeties have become a big trend," he said.
On Sunday, this trend, and the skills of two of the best, will be on display on the game's biggest stage.

University of Cincinnati prof's tax law blog widely read, but no cash cow
In the Know: Business Advice
Send this to a friend
- Jon Newberry
- Courier staff reporter
University of Cincinnati law professor Paul Caron has become something of a celebrity, a nationally recognized source of information on tax law.
His popular TaxProf Blog recently logged its 10-millionth view since debuting on April 15, 2004. Keeping the site up-to-date and refreshed throughout the day is like having a second job. But financially – well, let's just say the income it generates probably isn't causing him any tax problems.
"I would make more if I worked at McDonald's. That's not what drives this," he said. "It's not substantial by any stretch of the imagination."
The genesis for TaxProf was Caron's self-professed ignorance when he arrived at UC's College of Law in 1990, the only tax professor on the faculty.
"As a rookie starting out, I was smart enough to realize all that I didn't know," Caron said.
In those relatively early days of the Internet, someone had begun an e-mail discussion group for law professors. That gave Caron the idea of starting a more narrowly focused group for tax law professors, a kind of sounding board for academics to get ideas from other people in the field. As technology progressed and the World Wide Web spawned a rash of blogs, people kept asking Caron when he was going to start a blog on tax law. He initially thought it was a stupid idea, he said, but they persisted. He finally came around and saw it as a natural extension of the discussion group.
The power of online information-sharing was impressed upon Caron in 1998 when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire were racing to break Roger Maris' single-season home run record. A debate ensued on Caron's e-mail discussion group about the tax consequences of catching the record-breaking homer. Two members of the group carried the debate into the bleachers at Wrigley Field one day and were overheard by a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, who wrote a story on the topic. It generated so much publicity that the IRS issued a press release on the subject, concluding that the fan who caught the ball wouldn't suffer any tax consequences until he or she sold it.

New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham still dealing with lower leg injury from game against New England Jason Cole
New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham is likely questionable for the game this Sunday against Buf-falo, although his lower leg injury is not expected to be a lingering problem, a source said Monday.
Graham was injured at the end of the Saints loss at New England on Oct. 13. The Saints had a bye this week. However, it's unclear if that was enough time for Graham to get healthy enough for the next game against the Bills. Graham had 37 receptions for 593 yards and six touchdowns this season.

According to the latest Elliman report, compared to last month in June, prices seem to be decreasing. Don't get too excited just yet though, because although there was a slight decrease between these past two months, July's overall rents are the highest they have been in the past six consecutive Julys.
Low inventory rates and high demand are the current reality of New York City's apartment rental market. The Big Apple is one of the world's most competitive places in which to find housing, but finding your dream rental is not impossible. The following are four tips to help you maximize your rental experience.
Courtesy of: Anthony Quintano/ Flickr
Apparently, warmer weather coupled with high consumer demand this past June contributed to higher rental prices in New York City. The latest Elliman report shows that the median rental price for Manhattan rose to $3,300 - a 3.3% increase from the same month last year and the highest it has been in more than 5 years. The June vacancy level fell to 1.64% from last period's 1.83%, and is the lowest June level in the 5 years the metric has been tracked.
President of the Rent Stabilization Association: Joseph Strasburg
The Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) will be making a highly debated decision next week in regards to a percentile increase of rent stabilized apartments. Although this vote takes place every year, this year's decision has been exceptionally publicized due to a potential rent freeze. Bill de Blasio, the first mayor to ever run on the platform of a rent freeze, may come through on his promise—considering that over half the board has been given a seat via his appointment. Although the board favors implementation of the first rent freeze in NYC history, the Rent Stabilization Association (RSA) has other ideas.
Mayor de Blasio has so far stayed in consistency with his plan to create more affordable housing here in NYC. One method of making NYC a more affordable city would be pursuing a renters' freeze of regulated rents. The Rent Guidelines Board, which is comprised of nine people, had five seats on this board that were recently up for re-appointment or new appointments in March. De Blasio had finally filled these five of the nine seats. The other four seats left for re/new-appointment will be filled in December 2014.
New York City renters are hoping that Mayor de Blasio will follow through with his campaign promise of a renting freeze. The NYC Mayor will be appointing the nine members that make up the Rent Guidelines Board (RGB). This board decides how much regulated rents will increase per year.
Twenty-somethings have all the responsibilities of adulthood, but more often than not, they lack apartment hunting experience. Renting in New York City can even prove challenging for the most learned rental veteran, so for someone fresh into the market, it can easily overwhelm. It doesn't have to, though. We're here to help learn from mistakes of renters past. From budgeting to neighborhood research to lease comprehension, these are the top 5 mistakes 20-somethings make when renting in New York City.
People will do crazy things to get their hands on a rent controlled apartment, from pretending to be someone's relative to pretending their dead relative that owned the home is in fact, still alive and kicking. A book by Robert Fogelson entitled The Great Rent Wars: New York 1917-1929, explains the tumultuous story of the many attempts to fix a terrible housing situation before rent control. Enacted 70 years ago, the story of rent regulations started with a government that could care less about the issues happening with housing.

Two men walk into a bar, one wearing a cowboy hat and the other wearing a Yankees cap. The guy in the Yankees cap approaches the bartender and make a bet: "I'll bet you $1,000 that I can put a shot glass at one end of your bar and piss into it from the other end of the bar without spilling a drop."
The bartender laughs and says, "You're crazy, but you're on."
The man positions a shot glass on one end, walks to the other end and unzips his fly. He then pisses everywhere -- all over the walls, over the bar top, all over the bottles of booze, and all over the bartender. The bartender roars with laughter and tells the man to pay up.
The guy in the Yankees cap pays up, laughing and smiling, too.
"What are you smiling at?" asks the bartender. "You just lost $1,000!"
"Well, you see that guy in the cowboy hat over there crying? Before we came in, I bet him $10,000 that I could piss all over your bar, your walls, your liquor AND you, and not only would you not be mad -- you would laugh hysterically about it!"

Intern Bryce Remixes Lil Wayne And 2 Chainz For 'Broke as F**K' [VIDEO]

Obviously NIck Kosir loves his job and it is very visible.
Fall Out Boy has 2 Chainz on the remix single 'My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark.' 2 Chainz joined Fall out Boy during their performance at the 2013 NBA All Star game to perform the unheard verse, now we have the official audio track for you.
Ace Hood has been in and out of the spotlight for about 5 years now, coming up with hood hits and radio friendly songs.
He first aligned with Florida DJ, DJ Khalid, and have done songs with Pitbull, Birdman, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Fat Joe and it seems like everyone else in the rap game.
It seems like people forget about his witty wordplay since he is always overshadowed and has big guest appearances.
Drake had the Internet in a tizzy earlier this month with his heated song '5AM in Toronto.' Now photos have arrived, which show the rapper shooting the accompanying video in his hometown.
It seems like Toronto rapper Drake is a very easy target to make fun of, and this new parody is the funniest since Club 93.7 intern Bryce dropped his hilarious parody about 2 weeks ago.
Basically this parody pokes at Drake talking about how he started out not so poor and very spoiled by his rich parents, and how he moved up to starring in the show Degrassi.
Once he is noticed by Wayne and Birdman they start to mistreat and take advantage of him.
This is your chance to have a direct effect on what gets played.
I know Lil Wayne has been in the news a lot lately over the past week and it wasn't for a good reason.
It was rumored that his health was on a downward spiral and it wasn't going to get any better anytime soon.
Fortunately after being in ICU for more than a couple of days he is back at home and resting.
Hopefully he will slow down and relax after those serious drug induce seizures and learn from that serious lesson.
Tyler the Creator is not only producing the newest Mountain Dew Ad, he is also playing the voice of a talking goat in this uncanny ad. Mountain Dew worked with Lil Wayne, now they have Tyler under there belt.
Lil Wayne sent out a tweet saying he is 'good.' After the TMZ Report the music world was seriously on edge waiting on some light from this coming tragedy.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
CBA now a done deal: We have NHL liftoff
Owners and players officially end lockout
IT lasted for 113 days, most of them frustrating, and then carried on with nearly another full week of limbo before the NHL and NHLPA were able to officially put the lockout behind them.
The green light on the 2013 NHL season came mid-evening Saturday when the league and its players union put ink to paper on a memorandum of understanding. They had agreed on the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement in the wee hours of last Sunday morning.
The MOU was reportedly a hefty legal document several hundreds of pages long that will provide the platform for the league's restart.
The Jets' schedule was announced late Saturday night.
A version of it appeared on Twitter on Friday but was not correct, only a draft.
A 48-game season opens Saturday, including an afternoon contest featuring the Ottawa Senators at the MTS Centre against the Winnipeg Jets at 2 p.m.
Winnipeg's first road game is one week from Monday, an afternoon game in Boston.
The NHL's owners endorsed the labour agreement last Wednesday, 30-0.
The players began voting on it late Thursday and wrapped up the electronic balloting Saturday morning. The NHLPA tally was 667 yes, 12 no, giving it a 98.2 per cent approval among those who voted. Eighty-four players among the NHLPA's 763 did not vote.
"I don't think there are any surprises," Jets captain Andrew Ladd said. "You saw by the amount of guys headed back to their cities and getting ready to play that most guys were going to be in favour of ratifying it.
"I think it was just more of a formality, making sure everything was good, that everything that was agreed upon was in the agreement."
Most teams, including the Jets, have been holding informal practices or on-ice workouts, where the players run matters by themselves or with fitness trainers but without their real NHL coaching staffs.
Today will be the first day NHL coaches are permitted to do 100 per cent of the jobs with their teams.
"Everyone's excited to get playing now and focusing on getting this game back where it needs to be," Ladd said.
The Jets and the NHL confirmed that Winnipeg's Southeast Division games will include five each against Washington and Florida and four each against Tampa Bay and Carolina.
The Capitals have three games of their five vs. the Jets in Winnipeg -- including a concession by the NHL to allow a double-header here March 21 and 22 -- while the Jets have three of five at Florida.
That's 18 games, and the other 30 are made up by playing each of the other Eastern Conference teams three times apiece.
Among those opponents, the Jets drew two home games and one road game against Boston, the Islanders, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Toronto.
The season will end April 27 (April 25 for the Jets) and the Stanley Cup playoffs begin April 30. The league's trade deadline is expected to fall on April 3.

April 1, 2011
Today the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the results of an internal review of ways they could address additional LGBT healthcare issues. HHS announced many recommendations today, including a commitment to collecting LGBT health data through federally-funded surveys, guidance to states regarding access to federal welfare programs for LGBT families, guidance to states regarding protection of a same-sex partner's assets when his or her partner uses Medicaid for long-term care, and expanded outreach regarding the range of HHS funding opportunities for organizations that serve the LGBT community.
For years, HRC has been lobbying the Department to make a number of policy changes related to LGBT health and we've detailed them in our Blueprint for Positive Change, including recognizing the LGBT community as a health disparity population and collecting health data on sexual orientation and gender identity. We're encouraged by this major step at HHS and are certain that Secretary Sebelius will take the necessary steps to address the appalling deficiencies that exist.
As federal efforts to address our community's health care needs and challenges goes forward, HRC will continue to raise the bar for health providers and advocate for policies that promote equal access to health care.

Ryan Madson
Reds still haven't given up on Aroldis Chapman as a starter
Nov 5, 2012, 3:15 PM EST
Aroldis Chapman worked as a starter in spring training before Ryan Madson got hurt and the Reds decided to leave him in the bullpen, where he saved 38 games with a 1.51 ERA and 122 strikeouts in 72 innings during his first season as a closer. Three years and 137 appearances into his big-league career…
The Top 50 Free Agents of 2013

With the free agent signing period beginning tonight, it's a good time to update that list and count them down once again. Up first,…
Ryan Madson declines $11M mutual option for 2013
Oct 31, 2012, 9:48 PM EST
The Reds wouldn't have picked it up anyway, so right-hander Ryan Madson beat the team to the punch on Wednesday night and declined his half of an $11 million mutual option for the 2013 season. This according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. Madson gets a hefty $2.5 million buyout and will officially become a…

When it comes to bullpen use in Philly, the tail wags the dog
May 5, 2012, 8:00 AM EST
Twice this past week we've watched the Phillies lose in walkoff fashion while their best relief pitcher, Jonathan Papelbon, sat on the bench.

Dusty Baker finally makes it official: Sean Marshall is the Reds' closer

For whatever reason manager Dusty Baker was hesitant to name Sean Marshall the Reds' new closer after Ryan Madson went down, saying: "You just don't throw somebody in that role." Marshall made it very clear that he wanted the job and his excellent performance during the past two seasons made it equally clear that he…

Not in the pen yet, Aroldis Chapman goes five innings for Reds
Mar 29, 2012, 6:40 PM EST
When the Reds said Ryan Madson needed Tommy John surgery, ruling him out for the season, all indications were that Aroldis Chapman was headed back to the pen to help out in the seventh and eighth innings. Yet the 24-year-old Cuban defector made another start Thursday, allowing two runs in five innings against the Brewers.…
Reds "audition" free agent reliever Mike Gonzalez

Sean Marshall, unlike Dusty Baker, is sure he can thrive as the Reds' closer
Mar 28, 2012, 11:51 AM EST
Dusty Baker may be unsure if Sean Marshall can step into the closer role for the injured Ryan Madson, but Marshall's performance over the past two seasons suggests he'd be fantastic in the ninth inning and yesterday the left-hander made it clear that he'd "like the opportunity to pitch in that role." Part of Baker's…

Mat Latos was pulled from his start this afternoon against the Cubs after 4 2/3 innings due to a strained left calf. However, the Reds were more fortunate this…
Reds undecided on closer replacement for Ryan Madson
Mar 27, 2012, 12:16 PM EST
As soon as news broke of Ryan Madson needing season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery the assumption was that the Reds would move setup man Sean Marshall into the closer role, but manager Dusty Baker apparently hasn't made up his mind yet. Baker told Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com that he's "been getting that question from all…

Madson was expected to pitch in a minor league game today, but it was announced last night that he was being scratched. Neither Madson nor team officials…
Ryan Madson still experiencing right elbow discomfort?
Mar 22, 2012, 10:40 PM EST
Reds closer Ryan Madson has yet to make an appearance in a Cactus League game this spring because of discomfort in his throwing elbow. And he's unlikely to debut anytime soon. According to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Madson was scratched from a scheduled appearance Thursday in a minor league exhibition game with what…
Ryan Madson: "I can't prove it, but I do believe" Phillies made $44 million offer

General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. and agent Scott Boras have much different stories about how Ryan Madson went from reportedly being on the verge of a four-year, $44 million deal to remain with the Phillies to settling for a one-year, $8.5 million deal with the Reds. Boras insists the Phillies made a verbal offer to…
Ryan Madson's elbow "is pretty close to 100 percent"

Sidelined early in camp by what manager Dusty Baker called "a little irritation in his arm," Ryan Madson has been cleared for game action. Madson was officially diagnosed with elbow inflammation, but told Tom Groeschen of the Cincinnati Enquirer that "it's pretty close to 100 percent right now." Groeschen reports that Madson threw a 30-pitch…

Berlin looks to bill for false alarmsBy David Delcore
Staff Writer | May 22,2013BERLIN The Select Board is considering letting the towns police and volunteer fire departments charge an escalating fee for responding to calls that turn out to be nothing.
In a move designed to recover the expenses of dealing with what they described as an inordinate number of false alarms, Fire Chief Miles Silk Jr. and Police Chief Bill Wolfe both urged the board to enact an ordinance similar to those in some surrounding communities.
If approved as presented to the board at its Monday night meeting, the ordinance would create a mechanism for both departments to recoup costs associated with alarms that go off when they shouldnt.
Silk told the board that volunteer firefighters respond to hundreds of false alarms a year. The proposed ordinance, he said, could begin to take some of the financial sting out of an all-too-familiar sequence of events that begins when an alarm sounds.
We have a lot of commercial fire alarms and were burning a lot of fuel every time we run out to these, Silk said.
Wolfe echoed that, suggesting the proposed ordinance would help offset the expense of responding to security alarms at commercial establishments.
As much as we welcome the commercial segment in Berlin, they do drain (our) resources, he said.
Under the proposed ordinance, businesses would be entitled to two false alarms per calendar year one between January and July and the other from July to December. A second alarm during either of those six-month spans would trigger a $100 fee, and any subsequent alarm in that same time frame would cost $200 each.
By way of example Silk said there were more than 30 alarm activations at the Price Chopper Plaza on the Barre-Montpelier Road during renovations last year in the space now occupied by Staples. Those alarms alone could have generated in excess of $5,500 in revenue under the proposed ordinance.
According to Silk, that money would be both billed and collected by the chiefs of both departments.
At least with respect to the Volunteer Fire Department that arrangement would funnel the new revenue away from the general fund and directly to the autonomous department that incurred the expense.
The town would have no role in collecting or accounting for that money, and the Select Boards only responsibility under the proposed ordinance would be to entertain appeals and consider requests for waivers.
Though the Volunteer Fire Department is partly subsidized with local tax dollars, it is an independent organization, unlike the Police Department. For the past two years the volunteer firefighters have tried but failed to persuade voters to appropriate an additional $180,000 to the department to allow round-the-clock staffing at the Four Corners Station.
Silk said some central Vermont communities Barre, Waterbury and Stowe among them have alarm ordinances and that given the concentration of large commercial buildings in Berlin adopting one makes sense.
Town Administrator Jeff Schulz said that will first require scheduling a public hearing on the proposed ordinance something the board agreed to consider at its next meeting.
The proposed ordinance includes a couple of other requirements and allows for a fine of up to $500 for violating any of them. Failure to pay the proposed service fee within 30 days would be a violation.
Silk said one advantage of the proposed ordinance is that it could prompt property owners to take better care of their alarm systems to avoid fees. Town-owned properties and the Volunteer Fire Department would be exempt from the ordinance, he said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER New management plans for a vast section of Vermonts remote Northeast Kingdom an...

Vivid Italian oil paintings adorn the walls of Milano Grille's dining room; together with the crisp, white-clothed tables and the soft lights cast by hanging lamps, they create a facsimile of Italy on par with the plates of pasta and meat-based entrees to come. Servers' heels click against the tile floor as they emerge from the kitchen carrying lunches of paninis, personal pizzas, and calzones or dinners of veal, chicken, and seafood. Though Milano Grille offers full delivery and catering, the restaurant lures guests in to its dining room with a BYOB policy that allows them to bring in their favorite bottle of wine or flask of virgin moonshine.
The poultrygeists at Cluck-U glorify grilled, fried, and buffaloed bird with a Southern-style bill of fare devoted to the chicken. Diners debate dressings for buffalo wings, choosing from 15 different flavors such as Cluckster's hot, mustard barbecue, and Fiery 911 sauce, which requires a signed waiver and back-up set of taste buds. Six pieces of fried-to-order light meat, dark meat, or a combination of each come standard or, like an amicable bee, bearing a satchel of honey. Three buttermilk biscuits buttress main courses, and seven sides vie to rub elbows with entrees, prompting mac 'n' cheese to plump its profile with four types of dairy and mashed potatoes to reinforce its gravy boat with cannons.
When he cofounded his first sandwich shop in 1965, 17-year-old Fred DeLuca planned to use his profits to pay his way through medical school. But the combination of quality ingredients and friendly service at the shop?then called Pete's Subway?proved so popular that nine years later, he and his partner found themselves in charge of 16 locations across Connecticut, and Fred left behind his doctoring plans for a career in business.
Today, Subway restaurants number over 34,000 around the world?almost as many shops as there are sightings of Elvis buying cold cuts. At each location, staffers pile sliced ham, marinara-slathered meatballs, and other fillings into halved loaves of bread before customizing handhelds with tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and other healthy toppings plucked from chilled containers behind the counter. Salads free crisp veggies from bread's overprotective embrace, and crunchy baked chips or apple slices accompany entrees to tables. Subway's website also facilitates health-conscious eating by listing each item's nutrition information?and fastest mile time online.
For Sean Ulley, the owner Smokehouse Barbecue in Somerville, grilling meats is a family tradition; his father runs his own barbecue joint in Andover. To infuse ribs, brisket, and pulled pork with deep flavor, Sean seasons the cuts with a dry rub and smoke them for up to 17 hours—as deliciously described in the Somerville Today. The cooks also make good use of their fryer, deep-frying everything from corn on the cob to Oreos. Patrons can also opt for fried chicken, burgers, or Creole dishes such as the Louisiana Steampot—a medley of clams, mussels, crawfish, and shrimp served over rice and garnished with a strand of sautéed Mardi Gras beads. In the summer and spring, diners can head to an outdoor patio to eat in the warmth of the sun.
The chefs at Luna Rossa Ristorante fill their menu with traditional recipes that were first created in Italy and brought across the Atlantic by the Terraglia Family. Giovanni, Assunta, and their two sons Salvatore and Luigi arrived in America in 1955, and within a decade, Salvatore and Luigi opened their first restaurant, and more followed, including Luna Rossa Ristorante.
Nearly 50 years later, the chefs still follow Salvatore and Luigi?s recipes for housemade pastas and hand-cut steaks. Fresh vegetables and seafood are delivered to the kitchen daily, which the chef's use to create broiled lobster tails, flounder piccata, and chicken Pompeii with artichokes and mushrooms. The chefs also supersize their meals for catered gatherings that celebrate anniversaries or Frank Sinatra?s birthday.
The seas have been the frontier of some of humanity's greatest travels and the source of some of its most delicious food. Savor Restaurant's chefs celebrate the sea's diversity of flavors with a robust menu of oceanic treats. At their raw bar, they prepare fresh shellfish such as oysters or clams on the half shell for consumption in their naturally briny juices. They augment the flavor of other seameats, searing Atlantic salmon in sherry wine sauce or baking tender cod with fresh herbs and roasted potatoes. Savor's culinary crew also a crafts a number of authentic pasta dishes, including wild mushroom ravioli and seafarer-friendly zuppa di pesce, served with clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, and eye patch.

In the rugged highlands of Guatemala this December, 10 North Central College students are learning about fair and direct trade, the coffee business—and themselves.
William Muck, assistant professor of political science and coordinator of global studies, and Etienne Mashuli '13, economics major, co-authored an op-ed piece about the Robin Hood Tax campaign that was posted on the website of an international NGO focused on global poverty. Their comments about the proposed Robin Hood Tax, a small fee on all global financial market transactions to raise money to help fight poverty, were made in the context of the recent G20 Summit in Seoul, Korea.
Stephen Maynard Caliendo, professor of political science, and Charlton D. McIlwain have co-edited and published a book, "The Routledge Companion to Race and Ethnicity." It's a comprehensive guide to the increasingly relevant, broad and ever-changing terrain of studies surrounding race and ethnicity.
NAPERVILLE, Ill. (Nov. 16, 2010)—North Central College is offering a new option to earn both a bachelor's degree and a master of leadership studies degree in just five years.
Students accepted into this program earn both a bachelor's degree—in any discipline—and the master of leadership studies with the completion of 141 credit hours.
Stephen Maynard Caliendo, professor of political science, can be heard on WDCB-FM 90.9 at 5 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 18-19, in a two-part interview with assistant news director Gary Zidek '03 about the role of race in the Chicago mayoral election. Listen live at www.wdcb.org.
"If you're studying politics, you're in the right place," author Mark Quinn told students during his talk Sept. 29. He explained how Chicago's political "Machine" outlasted other cities, but is no longer the force it once was.
Quinn regaled the audience with tales of Chicago's "mythology" and told facts behind what happened, explaining how race, death and even weather crafted Chicago's history. "What's more entertaining? It's great theatre. Where else can you find this cast of characters?"

Sept. 24, 2010--Both classics in their own way, the award-winning Bollywood film "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India" and local documentary "Workers' Republic" will be shown at North Central College.
"When I took my first class in political science I fell in love with the field," recalls Megan, who was named the College's Outstanding Major in Political Science during her junior year. "I changed my original plans to include political science."
Megan appreciates the way professors teach at North Central. "You learn both on a research level and a practical application level," she says. For instance, in one course she and her classmates played the roles of House members and majority and minority leaders trying to pass legislation. And one summer, Megan helped a professor create a database of fundraising statistics for every congressional campaign since the 1960s. "That really broadened my horizons," she says. "In fact, the experience may change my focus from political campaign management to research. But that's what's great about this major. As you define your interests and strengths, professors help you personalize and tailor your studies."
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.
