Developmental Fluoride Neurotoxicity: Clinical Importance versus Statistical Significance
Siamak Sabour, Zahra Ghorbani
School of Dentistry, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, E-mail: email@example.com
Environ Health Perspect 121:a70–a70 (2013). http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1206192 [Online 1 March 2013]
The author declares they have no actual or potential competing financial interests.
We were interested to read the article by Choi et al. (2012), who investigated the effects of increased fluoride exposure and delayed neurobehavioral development by reviewing published studies and performing a meta-analysis. Of the 39 studies identified, the authors considered 27 to be eligible. Choi et al. reported a mean difference in IQ (intelligence quotient) score between exposed and reference populations of –0.4 (95% confidence interval: –0.5, –0.3) using a random-effects model. Thus, children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas.
Even if we ignore the weaknesses of the study (Choi et al. 2012), including a lack of individual-level information and the high probability of confounding because the authors did not adjust for covariates, a difference of 0.4 in mean IQ is clinically negligible (Jeckel et al. 2007; Rothman et al. 2008; Szklo and Nieto 2007) even though it was statistically significant. In general, clinical importance takes priority over statistical significance. The p-value can easily change from significant to nonsignificant because of sample size or the mean difference and standard deviation of the variable in the study population (Jeckel et al. 2007; Rothman et al. 2008; Szklo and Nieto 2007). As Choi et al. (2012) pointed out in their conclusion, there is a "possibility of an adverse effect of high fluoride exposure on children's neurodevelopment." Such a conclusion can be considered an ecological fallacy, which can easily lead to misinterpretation of the results. It is important to know that statistics cannot provide a simple substitute for clinical judgment (Jeckel et al. 2007; Rothman et al. 2008; Szklo and Nieto 2007).

Nathan's/Yonkers/Central Ave
- menton1 Feb 25, 2011 06:44 AM
Hadn't been to this place in years, but was passing by and I had a coupon so decided to indulge. This Nathan's seems a cut above the Mall places. I believe it's because this is a Corporate-owned location. The star of the place, however, is the homemade sauteed onions! They are on the help-yourself condiment bar, and are absolutely fantastic! Goes great with the hot dogs! Just the right seasonings, crunchy enough, and no liquid. Great!
I know this place goes back decades to the old Adventurer's Inn, they still have pinball machines and a kiddy play area...
But go for the onions!
You mean it's not Adventurer's Inn anymore? Jeez, I wonder if that is hurting the business at Mazels.
aka dirty nate's for probably 30 years now, definitely a step up over mall, but without a coupon very pricy,.i also like their cheapo philly cheese steak on a hot dog bun, not really competition to a real one but tasty, and almost the same as their reg. one but about 1/2 price
When we used to come up here to visit my aunt 40+ years ago (before we moved here), this was one of our favorite stops. When you first walked in, they had a huge deli counter with gigantic slabs of pastrami, corned beef, and brisket, along with giant salamis. They also had a bakery counter with gorgeous cakes. Back then, the best thing in the game room was the fortune-telling machine (just like the one in "Big.")
re: foodiemom10583
Yes, the deli counter. I'd forgotten. They had the best pastrami sandwiches. They also had great fried chicken. Different stations - deli, one for hot dogs and burgers etc. Alas it WAS much cleaner then. And that game room. It was a great place for a kid's party.
Those onions are a relatively new thing, only a few years, if that. I didn't like them. I thought they were only partially cooked since they were still crunchy, and so had that stale raw onion taste that cut onions get after sitting for awhile. I only had them since my last visit about four or six months ago.
I have to stop by Nathan's every now and then. Nostalgia I guess. I barely remember when it was Adventurers, there was also one in Cross County. I think they both were gone by 1978 when I got my drivers permit because I used to hang out at Nathans as a teen. Tuesday and Thursday night hot rod and motorcycle cruising on Central Ave., picking up girls, racing, and getting in fights where no one got seriously hurt, just a few thrown punches, no weapons. I still remember the amazing collection of muscle cars I had back then. Roadrunner, Challenger, Chevelle, 'Cuda convertable, tiny Vega with a 400cc engine.
re: wincountrygirl
Nathan's are hit or miss. The better ones use a natural casing frank and prepare it on a hot griddle. Nathan's in Coney Island is great as are a few that I've been to; one in a crowded mall. They use the griddle, the dogs are natural casing and served hot. There is quick turnover as a lot are sold. The dogs are always fresh and good. Every bit as good as Coney Island but without the atmosphere.
On the other hand, there are a lot of Nathan's that serve the skinless version and prepare it on one of those roller grills. There is a world of difference between these two methods. Most of the time the franks on the roller grill aren't served hot enough or are dried out from being on it too long. In addition to lacking the snap of a natural casing, these dogs do not have the char or flavor that a griddle imparts. Too bad because someone eating at one of these inferior franchises may think that all Nathan's are like this.
Roller grills are for gas stations, movie theatres, and convenience stores. Not for a place claiming to serve a quality hot dog.
re: hotdoglover
In Yonkers the dogs are natural casing, big turnover, and flat steel grill. No need to trek to Coney Island. And those saute onions, ahhhhh....
A while back ( 2008 ish) I had read that the Nathan's in Yonkers was being replaced by an office bldg that would have a Nathan's kiosk in its lobby. I asked a manager recently about this and he said that this was still happening. I don't understand why the current bldg is not landmarked.
re: chowdom
2290 Central Avenue? I'm looking at preliminary plans for the building (local engineering firm) and the proposal calls for a 3500 sq ft Nathan's on the first floor with a drive up window. Along with a bank and "retail space" on that floor (three floor building total).
No clue if this design will be revised or come to fruition or what but in this case it appeared to be more than a simple kiosk design. Whether that holds true if/when this happens is uncertain.
Although it doesn't have the ambiance (or lack there of depending on how you feel about it) that the Yonkers store has I think the food at the Nathan's on Rt 6 ( near ugh Wallmart) has way better everything, also if the same woman still owns the franchise she is very nice and runs a tight ship.
re: chowdom
Do they have help yourself saute onions?
re: menton1
I think so, you can call: 3139 E Main St, Mohegan Lake, NY 10547-1521
(914) 526-8581
re: chowdom
Nah. Yonkers is good enough. Hot dogs are the same, so I don't know why it's "better food". Big turnover at Yonkers, which, as hotdoglover remarked, is very important. Dogs don't sit and dry out on the griddle.
re: menton1
I didn't suggest you go there I was stating my preference! I found the food at the Mohegan lake location tasted better and fresher enough so that it surprised me! Could be because they were cooking most items to order. Why are you always so darn snarky?
re: Ho_Nutha_Levoo
agreed!! with that cool red plastic fork that looked like a trident pitchfork! you speared the crinkle cuts with great efficiency and didn't get all greasy or ketchup-y. You can't tell the difference though between a Walter's griddled spilt & a dirty water Sabrett? odd! The 3 you mention happen to all be great dogs with 3 different tastes & preparations so at least you have good taste there.
re: cubanat
I guess we can only be picky about so many types of foods (you've seen my threads on apple pie and fried shrimp). Hamburgers are more my thing, but I wanted to try the most reputable hot dog stands and by some amazing coincidence of geography we Westchester people have Walters in our midst. Papaya King was well recommended and Sabrett is on every Manhattan street corner so I sampled those also. Yes, the red fork was awesome, now I'll have to pick up an order this weekend (and a hot dog too it seems).
re: Ho_Nutha_Levoo
The frozen fries are still around and delicious. Toss with a little oil and put in the oven - YUM
re: wincountrygirl
Yes I recall seeing them pretty recently, but ever since Jello Pudding Pops I've learned to take nothing for granted.
The Nathan's in Yonkers was one of the 3 original Nathan's. Of course the first is the one in Coney Island. The second was in Oceanside. Now it's a strip mall with a small free standing Nathan's in one corner. That one was huge in its heyday.

Rap mogul Jay-Z has revealed that Kanye West decided to use a few of their Watch the Throne joint album collaborations for his upcoming My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy solo album.
According to Jay, records like "Monster" and "So Appalled" were slated to appear on their collaborative effort.
In the Q&A session Hov revealed that "Monster," "So Appalled," "Power (Remix)" and "The Joy" were all supposed to be on the album, but the first two ended up on Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy instead. "We went away to Bathe, England, last week," Jay said, referring to him and Yeezy. "I was out there doing some promo and we did about seven records in three days. We gonna finish another three records, [then] probably look at it to see if we should take any records off and record new ones, just to make it better. But it's coming out amazing." (XXL Mag)
In October, Jay said he and West were headed to Europe to work on new tracks for the LP.
"We had done five [songs] so far, and then a few of 'em, kind of, were out there, and I put them on my album. Sorry Jay," he said, laughing. "But we got some more, and we going to the south of France at the end of this month just to record new ideas." (MTV)
Earlier this month, rap pioneer DJ Premier broke the news to SOHH that he would be working on Watch the Throne.
"H*ll yeah, I'm excited to be a part of anything and I love working with Jay," Premier told SOHH about getting aboard Watch the Throne. "I wish I was on Blueprint III, but I got on board really too late and he couldn't make it in time but I just saw Jay the other day and we kicked it." (SOHH)
Premier also discussed feeling pressured to deliver his one-two punch on the LP.
"It's fun to create something that you know they're going to spin on, I dig deep with every artist I work with," Preemo added. "Even if it's an underground artist like a Termanology or even CNN or a Canibus, but when you got a Jay and Kanye or Nas or B.I.G. or even the Drake records, I know how deep I gotta go. If I got to do a Lil Wayne record, I know how deep I've got to go. You judge it based on the overall package. And that's what I still do. So working with Ye and Jay will be easy and fun but difficult. You gotta come a whole different way with your approach and it's pressure but it's good pressure, it's a fun pressure. I love going that route." (SOHH)
A release date for Watch the Throne has not yet been announced, however, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will be released on Monday, November 22nd.

I try to set the timer on the tv so that it turns off at the same time that I fall asleep. Sometimes, I nod off too quickly and the tv drips into my dreams. Last night, I dreamed about some show called 'Grams & Glum.' It's a crime solving show with Angela Lansbury and her emo granddaughter. I should probably pay more attention to which channel the tv is on when I am sleepy.
If you need to adjust the temperature in the house,
click the thermostat and rotate to the menu screen. It might be easier if you download the app. I will need to create a profile for you. text me and I will change the thermostat settings for you.
If the smoke alarm goes off, I will call you.
Each dog gets a scoop of food twice a day. The scoop is inside the dog food bucket. The old dog likes to have company when she eats. Make sure she doesn't steal the cat food when she is done with her food. The neurotic dog has to eat in private. If she hears a loud noise during her meal, she won't eat.
The boy cats get three scoops of food twice a day. The girl cat gets two scoops. The scoop is a coffee spoon inside the cat food bucket. Don't look away from the bucket of cat food when the lid is open or the orange boy cat will eat all of the food. Make sure the lid is locked or the orange boy cat will open the food bucket. Don't let the orange boy cat steal the other cats' food. Don't let him steal the old dog's food either.
The girl cat gets steroids for her hips. Put them under her tongue. She does not like them.
All the furry animals get a treat at bedtime. Treats are in the toy box in the basement. Don't let the orange boy cat steal the other cats' treats. Don't let him steal the dog treats either.
Don't worry about the snake's food. He doesn't eat again for a week. He just needs fresh water once a day, unless there is skin in his water dish. He hates that. Please pick the skin out of his water dish.
Every extended family gathering:
"You won't die from an allergic reaction if you eat an onion, will you?"
"No. I will vomit though."
"Great! You can eat around them."
Followed by:
"Hey Cathy, want more onions? Ha-Ha!"
"I put extra onions it, just for Cathy. Hee-Hee!"
Making me physically ill is great and hilarious… if you're a jerk.

Thanks to a successful marketing campaign that had my two youngest asking DAILY if they could go, we went to see Big Hero 6. It's a cute movie, but I would have preferred to wait and buy the Blu-ray. Feast, the short before Big Hero 6 is absolutely wonderful. Go see Feast. Before Big Hero 6 and Feast, there were trailers for upcoming movies.
Spare Parts – A robotics team version of the 'teacher rescuing high school students' trope. Wait until your local robotics team is hosting a screening as a fundraiser.
Paddington – Paddington looks like Stuart Little with better effects and no Dr. House. Wait until it gets to Netflix.
Minions – Toilet humor with a classic rock soundtrack. Buy the soundtrack. See the movie on Netflix.
Penguins of Madagascar – See above.
Inside Out – Gave me Nick Jr flashbacks. Netflix.
Tomorrowland – I am cautiously optimistic about this film, but I'll decide when they release more than the tiny blips of film with George Clooney's voiceover that we've been seeing for months.
Annie – Go see this at the theatre and sing no matter what you think your voice sounds like to others. Then, prepare yourself for all the viral videos of children singing and dancing to the soundtrack.
SuperTween has always been petite. She wasn't a preemie. She has no serious health issues. She simply never made it above the 10 percentile on height. Every year at her checkup, I asked if she needed to visit a specialist about her height. Every year, they pondered her chart for a millisecond before telling me that they wouldn't give me a referral unless she dropped to zero on the average height chart.
Over the years, she met and exceeded her developmental milestones. After she began middle school, she developed curves and her maturity increased exponentially. At the same time, SuperTween's brother who is three years younger than her, caught up to her on height.
At her checkup this summer, it finally happened. She dropped off the height chart. I asked about a specialist. They said that puberty is the cut-off point for most of the treatments used to help with growth problems. While in my heart I know that I would have been hard pressed to agree to the risks of growth hormones for a few inches of height, I am sad that SuperTween was never given that choice to make.
I worry that her height will interfere with her ability to drive a car and have romantic relationships. I worry about her being trampled in high school hallways. I worry about her being teased and bullied. I wore a full back brace in 7th and 8th grade. I know how adolescent ignorance can sting and scar.
At the same time, I know that SuperTween is stronger than I was at that age. She is stubborn and determined. She holds her own in a house full of loud and rowdy brothers. I can easily see her shouting commands as a coxswain. Is there a musical rowing league? SuperTween's singing voice is as loud as it is lovely. She would be amazing.
She already is amazing.
Q: "Why do you try so hard to avoid the Interstate? There are no traffic lights to slow you down and it's more direct than zig-zagging all over neighborhoods."
A: Knoxville Interstate drivers take it as a personal affront if someone merges in front of them and they aggressively try to avoid allowing anyone to switch lanes. Knoxville Interstates are dominated by the selfish and rude drivers.
Knoxville drivers on the streets will sit at a four way stop for a million years while they wave for the other drivers to go first. Knoxville drivers on the streets will cause a traffic jam stopping to let opposite direction drivers turn left in front of them. Unless they are driving a Humvee or a similarly oversized vehicle, Knoxville streets are filled with mostly polite and thoughtful drivers.
Staring at the cable guide, trying to choose a program to watch and
"Go? Got? Got ham? What's that about? Oh, #%!* it says Gotham. Why is the guide so tiny?"

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Travel for pleasure will thrill you today. You feel a strong need to break free of your daily routine and grab more of life. Carpe diem! Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, you will enjoy art galleries, museums, parks and beautiful places. You want a vacation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
This is a hot, heavy, sexy day. No question. However, sex isn't everything. You can also attract money to you today. (Definitely.) Or you might benefit indirectly through your partner. This is a good day to ask for a loan or a mortgage or get support from others.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Love affairs and romantic relationships with others can flourish. You find it easy to express your affection for others in a clear, direct way. (Naughty, naughty, I saw that.) This is also a good day to mend broken fences with others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a great day for fun, pleasure, entertaining diversions, social outings with others, sports events, playful times with children, vacation getaways and intimate sessions with lovers. There is no need to pretend to be what you are not. "I yam what I yam."
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You have a strong drive to improve where you live today. Of course, you are very affected by your surroundings. Today, in particular, you want to get rid of what is nasty or offending. "Out with it!" You want to make everything more attractive and elegant.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You're extremely persuasive today. Not only can you convince others to do something, you will talk yourself into it as well. However, in addition, you might discover just how much love and beauty there is all around you. Who knew?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You like to make money. Actually, you like to make a killing. Today you feel very passionate about a particular project that will, hopefully, boost your earnings. Ironically, some of you feel just as passionate about buying something today. "Gotta have it!"
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a great day to be with others, or take a vacation, or just relax and enjoy yourself. But your penchant for fun and pleasure is actually quite intense. This means you're going to go after what you want, even if it's just a good table at a nice restaurant.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Secret love affairs are definitely on the menu for you this year. (Many Aquarians are kinda kinky.) Of course, kinky is simply from someone else's point of view, isn't it? Meanwhile, some of you are willing to sacrifice for the welfare of others today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Friends can become lovers and lovers can become friends today. You feel very passionate about all your close relationships, especially groups to which you might belong. You might also feel a bit possessive. Well, we all do from time to time.
Race-car driver/owner A. J. Foyt (1935) shares your birthday. It's important for you to feel that you have given your best. And you want acknowledgment for this; then this acknowledgment reinforces you so that you continue to your next goal. You are hard-working and diligent as you constantly seek bigger goals and bigger rewards. In your year ahead, a major change will take place, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2004.

2 flee Texas jail, 1 faces capital murder charge
Two inmates with long criminal histories - including one awaiting trial for capital murder - escaped an East Texas jail, dumped their black-and-white scrubs and were fleeing a manhunt Tuesday, authorities said.
Associated Press
Two inmates with long criminal histories - including one awaiting trial for capital murder - escaped an East Texas jail, dumped their black-and-white scrubs and were fleeing a manhunt Tuesday, authorities said.
Brian Allen Tucker of Sulphur Springs and John Marlin King of Cumby slipped past a fence around a recreation yard at the Hopkins County Jail around 8 a.m. Tuesday, officials with the Hopkins County Sheriff's Office said.
The two men dumped their jail uniforms on rail tracks near the jail, Deputy Alvin Jordan said. They had white T-shirts and boxer shorts on underneath, and Sheriff Butch Adams said it was possible they had clothes stashed on the outside.
"Certainly, we're going to do our best to get them back," Adams told reporters. "We have a lot of help here from other counties and jurisdictions."
Dispatcher Beth Renfro said a maintenance person noticed a problem with the fence around a recreation yard used by female inmates at the jail in Sulphur Springs, about 75 miles northeast of Dallas. Jordan said the men either slipped through a gap in the fence or they scaled it.
Hours later, deputies and other law enforcement were searching the woods and area east and northeast of the jail.
Tucker was being held on $1 million bond in the 2011 death of Bobby Riley of Mahoney. Riley was found strangled in his home and some music instruments and firearms had been stolen. Jury selection in his murder trial was set to begin June 3.
Tucker was previously convicted of burglary and driving while intoxicated, and has been arrested several times for violating parole.
King was being held on several charges, including evading arrest, burglary and possession of a controlled substance. He's been convicted previously of burglary and possession of a controlled substance. According to court documents, he pleaded guilty last month to the possession charge as a habitual offender and received a sentence of 40 years in prison.
Local schools were locked down as a precaution, though classes were continuing as normal, an official for the Sulphur Springs schools said.
Kris Mitchell, who lives across a field from where officers were focusing their search, said she was telling her family to lock their doors and stay vigilant.
"This land is all ponds, tree lines and brush," Mitchell said. "You could hide pretty easily, I think."
Merchant reported from Dallas. Associated Press writers Diana Heidgerd and David Warren contributed to this report.

Mega promotion company Live Nation has officially launched their own in-house ticketing company.
Cutting business ties with Ticketmaster after 10 years, Live Nation now faces the difficulty of booking large arenas and venues.
"Anytime you have a major rollout, you hold your breath and hope there are no major glitches," Live Nation CEO of global music Jason Garner said. "What we went live with was our own venues, and no amphitheater shows are up yet. So it was a bunch of small club shows, which in many ways is more difficult because of the volume." (Billboard)
Ticketmaster Chief Executive Officer Sean Moriarty is skeptical about his former client's decision and predicts the price of tickets to decrease.
"You would expect there to be some adjustment of pricing for an economy where people have less money in their pocket," Moriarty said. "The conditions that I would expect in 2009 are going to feel like the conditions in the back half of 2008." (Bloomberg)
Despite these initial concerns, Live Nation feels the increase in sales will come.
Chief Executive Michael Rapino said the company sold 2.91 million tickets for 1,213 shows for the year ended Dec. 15, compared with 2.95 million tickets from 1,206 shows a year earlier. Most concert tickets are sold many months in advance. (Reuters)
Renowned for their mega deals with Jay-Z and Madonna, the company recently linked with Blockbuster for future ticket distribution.
The three-year agreement will provide the rental franchise an additional outlet in roughly 500 stores by providing customers more reasons to visit the chain. (SOHH)
Select Blockbuster locations are expected to begin servicing concert tickets this month.

Perfect weather – for a change – for Waukewan Ladies
After the previous week's rain-out, the Waukewan Ladies League cheered as the sun shown brightly and the light breezes held little humidity. The game for the July 30 round was called "Throw Out 3".
President Ridlon explained the game as using the two best net scores of the foursome for each hole and then at the end of the round, "throw out" the three worst scores. The total of the remaining 6 scores will be the team's total.
The team of Mary Dickerson, Fran Howe, Kathy Baker and Sharon Corcoran turned in the winning score of 45, which drew applause of appreciation from the League for such a low score.
Jane Flynn and Bobbe Fairman shared the cash from the chip-in pot with their off the green shots. On hole 15, Bobbe was able to putt her ball about 12 ft. uphill to a forward flag. On hole 17, Jane's ball had landed in the thick rough about 5 ft. beyond the green. She chipped accurately to a back positioned flag and watched as it found its mark. Faith Bartlett displayed her precision on 17 as well. Faith found her third shot just onto the green as she approached the green on this par 5 hole. She putted her ball "60 feet" Faith exclaimed, across the elongated green and into the cup. "This year my putting has been the best part of my game" Faith cited.
There were five contest holes this week and Mary Dickerson (19 and below division) and Ingrid Smith (20 and above division) won the longest drive contests on hole 14. The trick with this hole is keeping one's drive on a left to right sloping fairway. On hole 11, which is a 160 yd. par 3, Rose Hansford drove her ball straight as an arrow and measured the distance at 13 ft. after it came to rest to win "closest to the pin". The golfers had a second chance on the same hole to win "closest to the pin-second shot". As she drove the ball and watched it traverse the green, coming to rest 6 ft. off the back, Val Langbehn then chipped her ball just 3 ft. 3 7/8 in. from the pin. And on hole 12, Kathy Sweeney's name was drawn from the collection of ladies' names that landed on the 12 green on their second or third shots. Kathy joined the other winners at the prize table to choose her prize.
Those ladies who managed some challenging conditions to post scores of 50 and under were Denise Doyle with a 47, Charlotte Gregory-49, and Faith Bartlett and Jan Pano -50. Carol Ashton's day was made as her name was drawn as the winner of the 50/50 pot.
President Ridlon discussed the upcoming Invitational that will be held on Wednesday, September 11. The league voted to support New Hampshire's American Heart Association and has themed its 40th Invitational tournament "Heart of a Woman".
Participation was encouraged by all, as this is the signature League event that hosts 100 ladies from all over the state.

Leafs Are Now Lakers and Playing in Eastern Hockey League
LACONIA — The Laconia Leafs have changed their name to the New Hampshire Lakers Junior Hockey Club and starting in September will be playing in the Eastern Hockey League.
Tim Martin, communications director for the Lakers, says that the name change ''is designed to show the organization's commitment to the Lakes Region by adopting the same name as the local youth hockey organization.''
He said that the two-team, not-for-profit, organization will continue to call the Laconia Ice Arena home and will feature a new look and a new logo.
They will also be looking for a new head coach to replace Joe Cardarelli and expect to be naming the new coach within a few weeks.
Currently, Brad Wheeler, who is in his second year with the Lakers, is serving as general manager and interim head coach.
The Lakers recently hired Rocky Romanella as an assistant coach. Coach Romanella will assist in all facets of the New Hampshire Lakers program, including serving as the club's recruiting coordinator.
The Lakers are members of the Atlantic and Metropolitan Junior Hockey Leagues. Junior hockey is a competitive level of hockey with players who are 20 years or younger. The principle purpose of the program is to prepare, promote, and develop the athletes for future endeavors into a college or professional program.
The Leafs/Lakers have placed over 120 players into college and professional rinks over the last ten years. Over the 2012-13 season, players representing 17 different states and three European countries have worn the Laconia Leafs jersey. The athletes live with local families around the Lakes Region.
The Eastern Hockey League will kick off its inaugural season with three divisions in 2013-14. Each EHL team will play four games against its fellow divisional foes for 20 games; each EHL team will play 12 league Showcase games against teams in other divisions; each EHL team will play 12 more games against teams in other divisions for a total of 44 regular season games.
The EHL divisions are listed below:
North Division: New Hampshire Lakers, Boston Bandits, Boston Jr. Rangers, New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs, Northern Cyclones and Valley Jr. Warriors
Central Division: Connecticut Oilers, Connecticut Wolfpack, New York Applecore, New York Bobcats,
Walpole Express and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights.
South Division: New Jersey Rockets, New Jersey Titans, Philadelphia Little Flyers, Philadelphia Jr. Flyers, Philadelphia Revolution, Washington Jr. Nationals.
Former NHLer and U.S. Olympian Mark Kumpel, who spent the past five years coaching and managing a successful Junior hockey team, will serve as the EHL's Director of Hockey Operations. "This group of coaches and owners are the best in Junior hockey," said Kumpel. "The coaching staff of the EHL rivals that of any junior league in the country." Current EHL head coaches include former college and professional players (see team web sites for individual bios).
For players and parents looking for clarity and solid information about the Junior hockey experience, these 18 East Coast organizations are excited to form the EHL with the intention of producing college-bound hockey players and providing high standards of operation to assure a quality player environment. Simply put – a better league with higher standards and a player-focused environment.
The EHL has implemented league-wide standards including player contracts that mandate numerous player experience criteria at no extra cost above the player tuition. Additionally, EHL member organizations have created a league-wide education service that will help players and parents find ways to continue their education, as well as helping them navigate their way through the process of becoming a NCAA varsity student-athlete.
The 18 EHL organizations combined for more than 120 NCAA commitments during the 2012-13 season and have a proven track record of preparing young hockey players for college hockey and beyond.

As a member of Oath Keepers
As a member of Oath Keepers I can tell you that we do not approve of this march. Oath Keepers are not involved in this and will not participate. Stewart Rhodes will be issuing a statement in the next few days. This march is not endorsed, supported, or condoned by Oath Keepers.
"Oath Keepers does NOT endorse Adam's march. The leadership at Oath Keepers has a wealth of tactical experience, and marching into the enemy's camp, to be captured makes no sense. What is to be accomplished by this action? What could possibly go wrong? These are the questions a responsible leader asks before sending his troops into harm's way. This is either tactical ignorance, or willful endangerment; the latter being the worst of the two choices.
I would say that Adam's choice of the words "Oath Keepers" is no accident. He is VERY familiar with Oath Keepers and our mission. Not only are his tactics questionable, so are his ethics. Not only has he embarrassed himself by announcing a pointless and irresponsible armed march, he has damaged his integrity by using the good name of Oath Keepers to bolster his own agenda.
James Hanna

President Obama is hosting leaders of the Group of Eight economies at Camp David in Maryland, where Europe's spiraling debt crisis is expected to be the top topic of conversation. European officials are working on emergency plans for Greece's possible exit from the euro currency, a development that could unleash chaos in global markets and stall America's fragile economic recovery. The White House views the crisis, and its potential impact on the U.S., as one of the biggest challenges facing Obama's re-election bid. The president is expected to wield as much influence as he can in encouraging Germany, Europe's biggest economy, to ease up on harsh austerity policies that have deepened the recession in Greece and encouraged the country to flirt with a euro exit. Can Obama avert European disaster?
Obama's influence has its limits: Obama "will find his diplomatic clout tested" at the G-8 summit, says Ben Feller of The Associated Press. Obama can "prod Europe toward more growth and less budget-slashing austerity," but the U.S. "is not in the lead of that fight," and can't back up its pressure with financial aid. Obama has "home field advantage," and the summit is his "best chance to hold sway with" Germany, but don't expect any game-changing breakthroughs.
"Obama's home-turf summits will test his leverage"
But he should still push Germany hard: Obama "must press Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany to commit to a eurozone growth package," says The New York Times in an editorial. "Her one-size-fits-all austerity program has been a failure, pushing heavily indebted countries deeper into recession, making it even harder for them to pay off their debts." At the very least, Obama can provide Merkel with "political cover" to change her position, "after insisting for so long that the profligate must pay for their sins."
"Germany, the crisis, and the G-8"
And Obama won't be alone: Merkel will find herself "isolated as other world leaders push her to help stimulate the economy in Europe," says Britain's The Financial Times. Obama is holding a one-on-one meeting with newly inaugurated French President Francois Hollande, who surged to power on a promise to reorient Europe's economic policies toward growth. British Prime Minister David Cameron supports Hollande's plan, while Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti is "closer to the position of" Hollande than Merkel. With pressure from Obama and others, the G-8 could emerge united behind a plan on how to avert disaster in Europe.

"We know a single man, an American, who lives on US$200 a month, with half that going for rent. He gets around on a bicycle and eats at noodle stalls...or free when a temple offers lunch. He makes a sport of spending as little as possible.
"We know a Thai-American woman who bought an apartment in a small town 15 kilometers from Chiang Mai. She manages on US$600 a month from Social Security and, as she is Thai and older than 60, enjoys free government health care.
"Those are special cases, though. Exceptions. You should start with a bigger budget...
"House and apartment rents can vary a great deal. We know a couple that rents a place in the countryside 12 kilometers from old town Chiang Mai. They pay US$135 a month for a small home and garden. You will pay more, of course, for a bigger, newer place in town.
"Foreigners can own an apartment or a condo in Thailand, though, unless you go through hoops, not real property. Still, owning is an option.
"Note that costs skyrocket if you want to live in Bangkok. Figure that, in the capital, you'll pay double for rent, transportation, eating out, and entertainment."
How, exactly, would a budget for a couple retired in Chiang Mai break down? Here you go...
If you rent:
Rent: US$400 (though, again, this can vary greatly)
HOA Fees: US$0
Property Taxes: US$0
Transportation: US$100 (it costs 60 cents to ride the local bus; an average taxi ride is US$2.50)
Gas: US$0
Electricity: US$50 (depending on air-conditioning use)
Telephone: US$15 (for a cellphone, depending on use)
Internet: US$40
Cable TV: US$50 (including English-language movies)
Household Help: US$50 (once or twice a week)
Food: US$100
Entertainment: US$250 (including meals out)
Homeowner's Insurance: US$0
Total: US$1,055 per month
If you own:
Rent: US$0
HOA Fees: US$75
Property Taxes: US$0
Transportation: US$100
Gas: US$0
Electricity: US$50
Telephone: US$15
Internet: US$40
Cable TV: US$50
Household Help: US$50
Food: US$100
Entertainment: US$250
Homeowner's Insurance: US$35
Total: US$765 per month
Thailand is one place where it can be affordable to keep a car. Here's how the monthly costs for car ownership would break down:
Car Registration: US$20
Insurance: US$20
Maintenance: US$40
Fuel: US$100
Total: US$180 per month...only US$80 more a month than the budget for using local transportation

CenturyLink and Frontier Communications say in a joint filing that the second phase of the FCC's Connect America Fund (CAF-II) should support the regulator's 10/1 proposed broadband definition in all rural areas they serve today.
Over 40 members of Congress have asked the FCC to give service providers the flexibility they need to deploy high-speed broadband connections to more hard-to-reach communities under the upcoming Connect America Funding II (CAF II) program.
FCC answers some questions on next phase of CAF, but raises new questions about the CAF Phase II and Mobility Fund Phase II Auctions If we go just by the title of the FCC's most recent action in the Connect America Fund (CAF) docket, the FCC accomplished quite a bit in one fell swoop. Show More Summary
The FCC won a victory to maintain its Connect America Fund (CAF), a $4.5 billion plan set on bringing broadband service to 7 million people, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Denver upheld the program.
At long last, the FCC can move forward with reforming its rural connection subsidies for the broadband era. A federal appeals court has upheld the agency's Connect America Fund after challenges from smaller carriers, which were worried that the shift...
Frontier may be a supporter of the FCC's Connect America Fund phase II, but like others, it's concerned that the regulator's proposal to raise the broadband speed obligations from 4 to 10 Mbps is not a realistic proposition unless it alters the funding model.
The FCC is moving ahead with the second phase of its Connect America Fund (CAF) program, which is being used to move government subsidies from traditional POTS phone service to broadband in high-cost rural areas, drawing a mix of criticism and praise.
Some Connect America funding contemplated once policies, standards are set in second phase of proceeding. The FCC is looking for proposals to bring advanced telecommunications services to rural Americans... and it's planning on providing governmental cash to worthy proponents. Show More Summary
CenturyLink is giving customers in North Carolina's Halifax and Northampton counties up to 40 Mbps of broadband bandwidth thanks to an FCC Federal Communications Connect America Fund (CAF) grant.
The FCC has allocated a total of $255 million in grants from its Connect America Fund Phase I (CAF-I), enabling five telcos to deliver broadband access to over 400,000 rural homes and businesses in 41 states.
The FCC is making $32 million in Connect America Fund grants available to enable service providers in Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska to bring broadband service to over 42,000 "underserved" homes and businesses
Last week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) posted an interactive map (embedded below) showing the locations where new higher-speed broadband may be deployed as the result of the second round of Connect America Phase 1 funding. Show More Summary
The FCC has released an interactive map that shows the locations of 660,000 homes and businesses that are eligible targets to get broadband access through its Connect America Fund.
FairPoint Communications is leveraging part of its $3.3 million Connect America Fund Phase I allocation from the FCC to expand and upgrade broadband service in 44 Maine towns that have either no Internet access at all or can only get low-speed dial-up services.
FairPoint Communications is taking $3.3 million in Connect America Fund Phase I funding from the FCC in order to extend broadband services to 1,284 unserved locations and 4,211 locations that can only get access to low speed Internet connections.

Campaigners disappointed over delay to Copeland mayor election
Last updated at 13:49, Friday, 29 August 2014
Campaigners who successfully pressed for a mayor to run Copeland say they are disappointed that the elections will not be held for another nine months.
The Time for Change group, which called for a referendum to scrap the existing council set-up and bring in a directly-elected mayor, originally supported an election date for next May as opposed to October based upon cost grounds.
However, following yesterday's announcement that new Government legislation has been published and people will now take to the polls next year, the team say the election "cannot come soon enough".
A Time for Change spokesman said they had initially asked the Government for a May 2015 date.
"However, following our assessment of a massive £1.2 million underspend in the last financial year, from Copeland Borough Council, we changed our position," he added.
"We were continually told there was no money, and that Copeland council couldn't afford an October election. The underspend highlighted a very poor grasp on finances by Copeland council and meant that those responsible for the failing would continue to waste taxpayers' money."
The new legislation means it will take place the same time as the general and local elections.
Copeland council wrote to the Department for Communities and Local Government earlier this year requesting that the election be held next May.
The council's chief executive Paul Walker said: "Holding this election at the same time as the general election and local elections should significantly reduce the cost. The stand alone cost of holding this election in October would have been around £120,000."
The Time for Change spokesman added that following the news of the council's underspend, they asked the public for their preferred date, with the majority wanting October.
He added: "We then made representations to the Government. Unfortunately we have been unsuccessful to have the election held in October as the current law dictates, due to the impending legislation change. We are obviously disappointed with this news. But, we will continue to fight for what is best for the people of Copeland."
The Notice of Election for the elected mayor is now scheduled to be issued no later than March 30, 2015, with delivery of nomination papers by April 9 and the deadline to register to vote by April 20, ahead of polling day on Thursday May 7.

November 28, 2014
Meridian police are still investigating a shooting and attempted robbery from this weekend. Detective Dareall Thompson says three people were leaving a local nightclub Saturday night when they were approached by two black females and a black male, who attempted to take their belongings. The group managed to get away, but were tailed home to Northwood Place Apartments by the three suspects. The suspects again tried to take their belongings. A scuffle broke out, in which one of the suspects pulled out a gun.
"One of the victims punched a male in the face," Det. Thompson says. "At that time, the black male suspect shot, and as a result of that, a female victim was shot in the leg."
The victim was treated at a hospital and has since been released. The suspect got away in a car with three others, but not without first the victims gathering as much information as possible on their attackers.
"They were able to give us a good description on the vehicle, so hopefully, later in this case it will help us solve this case," Det. Thompson says.
Police are searching for a red 2008 Chevy impala with an Alabama tag. Meridian police say they're thankful for that quick thinking.
But Detective Thompson says if you ever feel like you're being followed, don't go home. The best thing you can do is come right here to your local police station.
"Where it's well-lit," he explains. "That way, if you come to the police department, hopefully they won't bother you there. But if you feel like you're being followed just don't exit your vehicle."
Detective Thompson says these three suspects are considered dangerous, and are asking anyone with information to please come forward. The suspect's tag number is 3246H7.
