WASHINGTON (AP) -- About 113,000 adult portable bed handles used to help people get into and out of bed are being recalled following reports of three deaths.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the recall involves handles sold by Bed Handles Inc., of Blue Springs, Missouri.
The agency says the handles can shift out of place when attached to a bed without the use of the safety retention straps -- creating a dangerous gap between the handle and the side of the mattress.
CPSC says three women became trapped between the mattress and the handles, and died. One was an elderly woman at a Minnesota assisted living facility; another was at a Washington state managed-care facility. The third woman, in her 40s and disabled, died at an adult family home in Washington state.

Dovetail Walk-Out
- c
- chadradchad Apr 18, 2008 11:59 AM
We made a reservation a week ahead for 9:15 and received a call asking if we could push it back to 9:30. We arrived at 9:30 and the host asked us to wait on the side, stating our table would be ready shortly. He then told us to move to the bar (very narrow, tiny 4 seat bar) and order a drink while the table is being set. Not ready for a drink, we stepped over to the side of the restaurant, he gave us a look. Around 15 minutes later, he told us that our table was ready. He brought us down to the basement (where there are 4 tables) and sat us in a round 8-top. The waiter came over and snidely said, "isn't it great to have room to spread out in New York City for once!" We were disgusted, who seats a small party at the biggest table in the restaurant. There was no warning of the table, or was there, "this is the only table that is ready for now..would you like to wait for another one." We then all got up and walked out of the restaurant as one person in our party spoke with the host. I heard about rude New York service, but this pushed the limit! We walked over to Eighty-One and told the host our story and were treated to AMAZING SERVICE. Not normally a ranter, but this was over the top!
re: ginsbera
Yeah, I am not normally a walk-out type of guy. But we just sensed this rude tone and we weren't ready to spend money at a place that made us feel uncomfortable.
re: chadradchad
In what world is that NOT walk out worthy?
Just to clarify, you made a reservation and the restaurant actually called you to push back the reservation?
re: MomoMed
the whole calling to push back the reservation is not a good thing, but at least they called. It could have been found out upon arrival. My whole thing was, the poor seating at a very large table didn't seem walk out worthy, but then again I wasn't there and can't get the tone of voice from the servers through an internet posting....at the same time, we pay for a service and expect a certain level when prices are high, as they are at Dovetail. With that said, they should have handled the situation better and the manager should have done something to remedy the problem.
re: andymadrid
Many restaurants comp drinks for the diners in situations like these. Don't know if the OP had that happen to him though.
Call me a claustrophobic hayseed, but I actually find it kind of nice when the table ends up being bigger than the party. As long as you don't feel like you have to shout to get heard at the other end of the table, I'd rather to feel like I was free to spread out a little at the table without infringing on others' space.
From the view of a Host:
You never mentioned how many people your reservation was for, it makes a difference if you were like a party of 5 on a round 6-8top or a party of 4 on a round 6-8top as opposed to a square table. Most NYC restaurants don't have tables sized for 5-6 people and then tables sized for 7-8 people. The round tables in NYC restaurants are all the same size for parties of 5-8 people.
re: eyesofahost
a lot of restaurants use big tables in an extra room to support walkins or accidental overbook resy's. This sounds like your resy might have accidentally taken or they had trouble turning tables throughout the evening. Also eyesofahost is correct they don't really make big enough or small enough tables to handle 5-6 people, so this may have been the size of your table no matter where you were sat.
the phone call asking to nudge your reservation was unusual, but my impression is that the restaurant was overbooked and trying to juggle parties. it also prevented what could have been a 30-minute wait. you waited only 15 minutes to sit, which isn't outrageous in my book. table-turns don't always run like a swiss watch.
i also don't understand why the restaurant should apologize for seating you at a large table. when pressed, i will put 4's on 8-tops and never once has anybody complained. it certainly seems preferable to being squished on a table too small. would it have been impossible for you to say, "gee, we'd prefer something more intimate. how long would the wait be for a smaller table?"
it never ceases to amaze me what people perceive as personal affronts.
re: hotoynoodle
There was indeed shouting between me and the other parties. I would say there was a good 5 foot distance between two diners. They made it feel like it was a privilege to be in their restaurant. I have been to many fine dining establishments and have never heard this tone being used. It made me not want to return to Dovetail.
NB: The reservation was for four.
re: chadradchad
so you were seated at a 20-foot table? wow.
re: hotoynoodle
Could have been circumferential distance. 20 ft circumference = <6.5 ft diameter.
re: hotoynoodle
I have to say, while I don't take it as a personal affront, I really do dislike being seated at a table that is far too large for the party. It often takes away from the ability to converse in a normal, unforced fashion, and does completely change the dynamic, IMHO. Actually, the more I think about it, the more strongly I recall how unpleasant it can be. I'll try to pinpoint more why ... but, as a diner, I, at this point in my life, unless I was really terribly keen to try the food at a place, would refuse the table. And, I'm generally not at all a picky restaurant diner.
re: MMRuth
and as a paying guest, you have every right to refuse a table, provided you are willing to cool your heels and wait for another. the op was seated within an acceptable amount of time relative to the reservation, and because they didn't like the table, walked. not much of an opportunity for dovetail to make any sort of gesture.
recently, we had a very busy night booked. reservations were all counted and the floor plan mapped. tables set with menus, wine lists and appropriate number of settings. between 5:45 and 6:15, i had 4 empty tables for walk-ins. an older couple walked in. i showed them to a nice 4-top. they wanted a booth, but i had reserved requests for the few booths. i showed them to another 4-top, explaining how busy we were, and i'm giving them a very nice table. the man very loudly called me a b***h, right in the middle of the dining room. they stormed off, saying they would never return. honestly, i'm fine that. what a jackass, ok?
other seated diners were shocked by the man's behavior and praised my composure.
in my estimate i had done the best i could to accommodate that couple. in their mind, i was unreasonable. two sides to every story, i guess, huh?
re: hotoynoodle
That does sound like a nasty customer! And I really was just commenting on my view generally of being seated at a table being intended for a much larger group than my party, rather than referring to what the OP did etc.
If I have a reservation for four, and "fulfill" my side of the bargain by showing up on time, confirming the reservation if needed etc., being shown to a table that seats 8 really would not, from my perspective, be the restaurant fulfilling its end of the bargain, and I think a restaurant should realize that. I know that yes, they are giving a table that can seat 4 people, but it would honestly affect my enjoyment of the evening for the reasons I stated above.
In my home, I adjust the table size depending on the size of the party and the ambiance I want to create, and the table size does contribute to the ambiance. It would surprise me if restauranteurs didn't realize that as well. Of course, I do understand that sometimes restaurants get squeezed for space etc., but I would certainly expect an apology or a "we're terribly sorry, but the only table we have is for a larger party, do you mind?" if seated at a table for 8 with a party for four. One thing I see a lot in New York is tables for 4 (square) that can be converted to larger tables by putting larger rounds on top to accomodate larger parties.
Edit - I wrote this quickly and it's not meant to sound confrontational etc. - just thought it might be useful for you, since you're in the business, to know that there are some customers who really don't like it when this happens - I'm actually amazed that you've never had anyone say anything about it.
re: MMRuth
To the OP: When the host asked you to wait at the bar you chose to wait somewhere else, probably in a traffic lane which inconvenienced other diners (no one asks guests to wait where they will be in the way, but guests often choose those spots specifically to be a problem and get seated quicker--sort of like threatening to hold your breath until you pass out). This spells difficult customer and they seated you asap at the first table available and away from the majority of guests because they expected trouble. You fullfilled their expectations.
And once seated, why not move your chairs closer together?
In all my years in the restaurant industry, I have never had guests complain about a table being too large. Too small, yes...but never too large.
re: Le Den
I agree with Chad. 4 people at and 8 top is wack! I would have demanded to be seated at the very narrow 4 seat bar!!
re: Le Den
My issue with this is that, while it's fine at a long rectangular table, where you can seat two people across from two people and just ignore the rest of the empty table, at a round table, even moving the chairs closer to one another, you still end up with the awkward situation where it is difficult for the two people sitting at either end to, respectively, converse with one another, or for that matter, the person two people down from them. It is interesting to me that those in the industry have never had complaints about this.
There are a million stories in the naked city.
The resto did a bad job on this reso from the beginning and when the snowball started downhill, well you know the ending. But this is not a catastrophic or worst story winner. Just a series a bad decisions and try-fors on the part of the resto and the MOD.
When the call came to move the reso to 930, the antennae should have gone up. That is in the same vein as "the people at your table have just received the check." Usually a bad sign. And while you were sitting at the bar the resto thought that they had it under control. Once you "stepped over to the side of the restaurant" the dominoes started falling. MOD thought let's get this party a table and he gave you what he had. Seeing a standard 60" round table (jfood assumes from the 5 foot statement) you could have said that this was not acceptable. Then the waiter doubled-down with his stupid/cute (depending on your point of view ) comment, hence the last domino fell. And jfood thinks you did the correct thing in leaving. You would not have enjoyed the meal no matter what at that point.
So jfood thinks the resto did a number of unfortunate things, but when their hand was forced by your leaving the bar the MOD went into hyper-try-for. You could have just said "No" upon seeing the 8-top. Jfood is not blaming you AT ALL, just stating what he thinks how people react. Jfood would be interested what was said between the MOD and your colleague on the way out.
Was it "over the top"? can't really get there. Was this a very inexperienced MOD who tried to see if he could think out of the box? Probably, but unfortunately in your, and jfood's, opinion he failed miserably.
Give the restaurant a call and explain what happened and see what they say. You never know. they may have been put in a bad situation by other diners that night and unfortunately you took the brunt.
I went with wife a month or so ago. Had made reservation weeks in advance via opentable. We arrived and they too brought us downstairs. It was a two-top table at least, but the other than that the cavernous room was set for 2 very large parties. Was completely ridiculous! We were wedged in between these 2 tables set for 8 or 10 each.
Whne we asked to be moved and they did - to a nice table upstairs. Meal was good, etc. But was a little put off that they even tried to seat us down there! They should reserve crappy places like that to walk-ins.
re: BKAL
OMG ... I cannot believe all the whining here. You complied with their request to move the reservation 15 whole minutes and were rewarded with twice the amount of space you usually get in a NYC restaurant. You had to wait a few minutes in a safe spot, but you decided to put yourself in the way (for the above noted holding-my-breath reason, Im guessing). Not ready to drink? Order a soda or fizzy water -- which would probably be compt anyway. Then you decide to walk out rather than negotiate for another, better table? If I were this resto's MOD, and the server assigned to that table, I'd be glad to see you go.
I don't think I'll ever dine at a top restaurant in a big city - I don't know how to behave when confronted with rude server behavior. I'd probably take the 8-top table, and then just work the server to death all dinner long.
I'm afraid I just don't understand this. You were seated at a table within fifteen minutes of your reservation in Manhattan. You had more than enough room at your table. I don't see how "isn't it great to have room to spread out in New York City for once!" can be snide in any way. I think it's more a case of the server trying to make the best of what was a bad situation.
In fact, do you really think that a busy restaurant would deliberately seat a four-top at a table for eight? There's no way they would want those seats to go to waste. They made a decision to accomodate your party as quickly as they could, knowing they would lose four dinner receipts. The waiter tried to appease your party in the way he/she best knew. They had the courtesy to phone and ask to push back the reservation when they knew they could not uphold it instead of making you wait when you got there.
Yes, this was an unfortunate situation, but "rude New York service" that "was over the top?" I think your expectations may be "push[ing] the limit[s] " a little.
re: miss_bennet
This may have been a situation that you would have had to be there. I do not want to feel like I am doing a restaurant a service by paying $90 a head when I do not feel comfortable. I think many people forget to realize that you are a PAYING customer. One should not pay for services they are not satisfied with. Thus, I find it perfectly acceptable to walk if you do not fit in. If the restaurant was truly busy, they could replace that table in heartbeat.
re: chadradchad
Oh, I believe quite strongly that custmoers are customers, whether they're right or wrong. I am not afraid to "let my feet do the talking" if need be. Saying what you just posted is reasonable. But the original post had a giant "does not equate" neon light flashing above it.
I understand that internet speak leaves something to be desired. I'm glad you enjoyed your evening at another restaurant.
re: gloriousfood
that made me chuckle a little bit, so true.
re: ginsbera
This is quite funny...a 15 min wait and a bigger table...
Was it the OP's first time dining out in manhattan?! Gimme that horrible treatment anyday...:)

Grilled Cheese (Wow I Feel Uncreative!)
I haven't made anything new in a long time, just old standby items, and not even many of them. I'm trying to finish up two papers, class prep, and move, which seems to suck up all available brain power....
But just because there's been a lack of content, I'll discuss an old standby, the grilled cheese sandwich. According to a family legend, my father---who is no cook---lived for six months on grilled cheese, popcorn and beer, as these were the only things he knew how to make. I'm not sure I believe it but grilled cheese is very adaptable.
Based entirely on experimentation, the keys to success are:
-Standard width slices of bread, not too thick or thin. Make the bread good, so a nice pane, sourdough, etc. Bread with fillings like olive loaf might be good, too, if it complements the cheese.
-Pick between one and three cheeses. Nearly any of the obvious ones will do, cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, etc. If a cheese doesn't melt well, it's not a good candidate, at least for the dominant component of the sandwich.
-Cut the cheese into uniform pieces and arrange on the bread uniformly (get the pattern? :).
-Fillings such as ham, bacon, olives (or ???---whatever you think matches the cheese) are optional but do make for a nice sandwich. Don't overload the sandwich, though, or it'll never melt on the inside before the bread is incinerated on the outside.
-Lube both sides with butter or, if you're lazy, no stick spray. (Butter tastes better, no question.)
-Medium to medium low heat in a skillet. A lid is helpful to make the cheese melt but you don't want to let the bread get soggy so finish without the lid.
-Don't crowd the pan!
-You will have carryover, just like for anything else. So if the cheese isn't absolutely perfectly melted but the bread is GBD, turn off the heat and let it stand in the pan for a few minutes.
Some thoughts on grilled cheese
- If you have a griddle, use it.
- If you have some garlic butter, herb butter, or even honey butter around, using that on the bread can lead to some amazing results (depending on the cheese you choose). Alternately, a bit of grated parmesan (or other hard, salty, umamiriffic cheese) works wonders when mixed in with the butter on the bread.
- Don't be afraid of using fancy cheeses. Sometimes I'm left with a wee bit of something in the fridge. Grilled cheese is a great way of using it up in a really indulgent manner.
- Tomato soup.
- Extra-sharp cheddar with a few thin slices of apple or pear.
- In the past, when I've wanted to make sure my grilled cheese was perfectly melted, I've started it open-faced in the oven (sometimes using the broiler a bit), before finishing it in a pan or on a griddle.

Could a happy ending be on the horizon for this Hollywood couple?
Appearing on a late night talk-show to promote her new movie, Scream 4, Courteney Cox revealed that she and estranged husband David Arquette are at a very good point in their relationship,
"We are separated and David is sober now, we are getting along great, it's kind of the best we have ever been."
Though when asked about the future of their relationship, she said that remains to be decided,
"I don't know what's going to happen", she said, "I'm sure this decision needs to be made at some point, we're getting along so well, I hate to rock the boat"
The couple had a happy family holiday in Disney World last week with their daughter Coco, and it is clear that no feelings have faded between the two, as Courteney declared:
"I love him more than anything in the world"

Beer and Brown Sugar Kielbasa & Sauerkraut
Two major disclaimers right off the bat:
#1: I have never been a fan of kielbasa.
#2: I am even less of a fan of sauerkraut.
Yet, I am hopelessly in love with this recipe. It doesn't make logical sense. And yet, the stars somehow aligned. Could it be that beer and brown sugar make all the difference? Given the magical powers of both, it's certainly possible. Back on the 4th of July, my Chief Culinary Consultant and I went to his friend's house for a cookout. He mentioned there was kielbasa and sauerkraut (which I typically pass right over), and as a footnote said that they were cooked in beer and brown sugar. My ears shot up faster than a dog who hears a bread bag being rustled (or a peanut butter jar open, or a banana being peeled. Okay, my dog is weird!). I had to try it, even though I still kind of thought I wouldn't really be crazy about it. Forget being crazy about it, or even liking it, I loved it. Afterward, I was sorry that I had filled up on so many side dishes because I was dying for another sandwich but was too full.
Over the last few months we reminisced about how great those kielbasa sandwiches were and how we needed to get the recipe from his friend. Finally last weekend we scored the recipe, and within hours had it simmering away in the crock-pot. This recipe honestly couldn't be any easier to make – less than 10 minutes to get everything into your slow cooker, and then let it do the work. As with most things like this, the longer you let it cook the better it will taste. The kielbasa becomes so tender that it melts in your mouth, and the sauerkraut takes on a sweet flavor – delicious! If you're a kielbasa and/or sauerkraut-averse person, take it from one of your brethren – you NEED to give this a shot!
This is perfect for football game days, and even for late Oktoberfest celebrations. Enjoy!

Beer and Brown Sugar Kielbasa & Sauerkraut
Yield: About 10 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 4 to 10 hours
Total Time: 4 to 10 hours
12 ounces beer (can or bottle)
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
3 pounds polish kielbasa
1 bag (or jar) sauerkraut (32 ounces), drained
1. Combine the beer and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, until the sugar melts and the mixture is slightly thickened; set aside.
2. Cut the kielbasa into links and place in a slow cooker. Cover with the drained sauerkraut. Pour the beer and brown sugar mixture over top. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or on low for 8 to 10 hours. (We ended up doing a combination - high for 3 hours and then low for another 3 or so. Definitely the longer it cooks the better it tastes!)
3. Serve on its own or on your favorite sandwich roll.

I have been making this for years and absolutely love it. It's even good baked in the oven so the brown sugar makes the top of the dish a little crunchy. You don't have to limit yourself to just kielbasa. You can also use polish sausage, fried pork chops, brats, etc. DELICIOUS! I like a bit of mustard to top it all off.
This looks and sounds delicious! It's in the crock as I type. I used a 1/2 c. brown sugar, and it's plenty sweet. I saved a little sauer kraut juice just in case it was too sweet. I also added a 1/2 sliced onion. I'll be back after we eat!
WOW, WOW,WOW! We loved this! A lot! Just the right amount of sweet and tart. We used spicy brow mustard on our sandwiches. Next time, I think I'll let the kraut and sauce go on high for 2 hours, reduce to low and add the sausage. I am a kraut and sausage Slovakian girl, so this was perfect for me. The DH is Polish and Lithuanian so this was a comfort food for him too. I will look for a crusty roll next time. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe.
I'm a little late commenting on this. My son had 8 young men over to the house and I made a double batch of this and they absolutely LOVED it! I will definitely be making this again for get togethers and just for an easy and relaxing weekend dish. I've never spent such little time making something so delicious.
This recipe looks delicious, but unfortunately, it did not work out for me. I reduced the brown sugar to about 3/4 cup based on previous comments, and cooked it on low for 8 hours. The sausage was falling apart and most unexpectedly, it took on an Asian flavor. It had a moo shu type flavor which seemed to be from the brown sugar and cabbage (which is what sauerkraut is) combination. I was so excited for the recipe but won't make it again.

Over the past half century, the prevalence of childhood disabilities in the United States has been on the rise, possibly due to an increased awareness about these issues. Now a study published in this week's online issue of Pediatrics suggests the nature of those newly diagnosed disabilities is changing.
The report, "Changing Trends of Childhood Disability, 2001-2011" found the number of American children with disabilities rose 16% over a 10-year period. While there was a noted decline in physical problems, there was a large increase in disabilities classified as neurodevelopmental conditions or mental health issues, such as ADHD and autism.
"We found that that physical disability health conditions in children were down 12%, but the disabilities related to mental and neurodevelopmental health went up 21%," said lead study author Dr. Amy Houtrow, chief of the Division of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.

NHS IT: what went wrong, what will go wrong

Am I the only one wondering just how many kitchen sinks have been thrown into the spec of what should be a relatively straightfoward system?
DVB-H is the official mobile-TV standard
Surely there's an easier way
Do we really need a specific DVB format for mobile phones?
Surely it would be simpler to create a suitable chip to go inside mobiles that can receive and decode current DVB-T broadcasts?

Re: Andrew Bush
"The whole point in not bundling the OS is the imbalance between the OEM cost and retail boxed price. There should be no difference in price between these two other than the packaging/distribution."
You are incorrect here. The reason why the OEM version of the OS is cheaper is because when you buy the retail version the extra cost gets you a certain number of support calls with Microsoft. With the OEM version the system builder will be the one providing the support and so they add that cost on to the PC/laptop as they see fit.

Euro consumers favour plasma over LCD
Take it with a pinch of salt
Given that this comparison seems to have been sponsored by the plasma manufacturers I'll take the results with a pinch of salt. I'd like to see the results of a truly independent study where it has been verified that the TV's had all been set up with equal care
All TV types need properly calibrating when you get them out of the box, not just LCD. And the truth of the matter is that lots of people don't know (and worse, don't care). I've been in people's houses where they had quite expensive 32" CRT's and they had clearly never bothered to set colour, contrast and brightness as the picture just looked unnatural. Likewise you can't just stroll into Currys or Comet and judge the relative merits by what's on display there. Chances are the sets haven't been set up properly and are probably all being fed from the same RF feed.
Regarding Sky not being the best thing to use when demoing TV's - well it is the best thing to use if that's what you watch most. Any set should look fabulous if you're feeding it a CGI movie by digital connection as there's seldom the amount of image noise that trips up TV processing that you get from film derived sources.
I wouldn't hold my breath for HD CRT's - you'll probably have to go through dozens of sets to get one with decent geometry, regardless of how good the picture is otherwise, and you're always going to be limited as to the maximum screen size.
HD TV, without the monthly fee
Can't pick up Sky HD on this surely?
Your article says that "... you still won't get access to all Sky's HD content, unless you have a subscription."
Surely in actual fact the only way you will (legally) get access to Sky HD content is via a Sky HD box - Sky still haven't licensed their encryption for use in anything other than their STB's. Unless the Reg knows something we don't...?

It is a beautiful, relatively flat golf hole, where all shot options are apparent. The strong player can take dead aim at the green. However, any mistake will be severely punished. Play safe and you still have a very small target green to approach from an awkward angle. Note the tire marks from the tractors in the right of the photo. This shot was taken early in the course's life when much of the grass outside of the fairways had yet to grow in. We left the tire contours specifically to give the grass seeds a place to find purchase in the windy and sometimes rainy conditions. This created a very natural pattern of growth.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Hawks top Jets 4-1 in rematch
CHICAGO — If this was a football game, the Chicago Blackhawks would have been accused of having the Winnipeg Jets' playbook.
The Hawks were everywhere the Jets wanted to go on Wednesday night and the feast on the Winnipeg mistakes continued with a convincing 4-1 victory before 21,112 at the United Center.
Chicago trounced the Jets 5-1 last Saturday in Winnipeg.
"They had a good game plan and we weren't able to create ways to get around them," said Jets right-winger Blake Wheeler. "When they do that, it makes it really tough.
"I think they put a lot of pressure on you to be extremely smart with the puck and even when you're smart with the puck, you've got to have good support and if you don't have good support they get the puck back and they're probably the best in the NHL at transitioning. You see a bobbled pass, anything, and they're off to the races."
The Hawks were off with goals by Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane in the final 2:31 of the first period — Kane's goal came with just 5.8 seconds left in the period — to get control of this game.
Brandon Pirri and Patrick Sharp made it 4-0 by early in the third before Devin Setoguchi ruined Corey Crawford's shutout with 11:20 to play.
Chicago's now 10-2-4, and a perfect 2-0 against the Jets this season.
Jets coach Claude Noel said observers are way too tuned into Chicago's great transition game at times.
"They don't only need transition," Noel said. "Look at Sharp's goal. Turnover on the wall, dot, boom, top shelf. They can hurt you not only in transition but pick your poison. You have to manage the puck well, you have to minimize many mistakes.
"You want to start shooting yourself in the foot, it's in your net. We've given up nine goals in two games (against Chicago). Do we need to give up another four or five the next time to recognize this is what they can do? I understand we're not perfect but those things hurt you. Your puck management's got to be great."
Closed off
The Hawks were almost flawless Wednesday at closing off all escapes up the boards, forcing the Jets into turnovers along the way or bumbled plays to the more dangerous middle of the ice.
It caused untold headaches from start to finish.
And when the Jets weren't turning over pucks coming out, they were much like a collapsing paper lantern on far too many occasions when the Hawks were attacking.
"You probably don't even get to the point where you can think most of the time, honestly," Wheeler said. "Like I said, it's all about smart decisions with the puck and supporting each other."
Said Setoguchi: "This is a team that has a lot of back pressure. When you're breaking out, if you're not clean, they're going to catch you from behind.
"That happened several times tonight, we weren't making clean plays out of our end and they're a pressure team, they can skate. And if we're not making the right play, it's going to result in turnovers."
Scratch or hurt?
Jets left-winger Evander Kane missed Monday's game with an undisclosed lower-body injury. He took Wednesday's morning skate and said he was looking forward to playing but then was scratched for the game vs. Chicago.
Kane told a TSN broadcaster he was a healthy scratch Wednesday night.
Noel told a different version after the game.
"I think we follow the same protocol with all the players," Noel said. "What you have to do is make sure that you're looking out for the welfare of the players. That's why you have to assess a lot of different things and that's what we do.
"It's no different than with Evander, Mark Stuart. Players for the most part always believe they can play and you have to do the things that are intelligent. There's been no change."

What happens when contradictory leftist narratives collide? We get a battle between a woman with a penis and a woman pretending to have a penis. The reason these two groups get into conflicts is because their premises are fundamentally opposed. Transgendered people acknowledge that gender identity is tied to physical identity, while feminists deny this outright. Feminists claim that women do not behave inherently different from men and can have all the traits and responsibilities a man has without the physical traits. This has resulted in actual violent conflicts between the two groups.
Transwomen getting into conflict with feminists is not the only instance of colliding leftist narratives; many feminists spend time attacking pornography while other feminists participate in it. As a result, the public continues to get contradictory messages about what feminists stand for. Not to say that any movement has complete solidarity, but the types of conflicts that arise have no solution. There is no Final Authority to make the final call on feminist theory because it is an individualist philosophy. The proponents of this individualist philosophy correctly recognize that society exists in a hierarchy and they are in opposition based on their belief in egalitarianism. The hierarchy that feminists chose to focus on is the gender hierarchy which is typically referred to as the patriarchy. Cultural Marxists have three heads: the socialists who focus on economic inequality, the feminists who focus on patriarchy and the anti-racists who focus on racial hierarchy.


text: Comcast to Bid for Houston Sports Network if Court Forces Sale Print article Send a Tip from REUTERS.CANADA 30 Sep 2013 post a comment (Reuters) - Comcast Corp is prepared to bid if it can force a sale of the financially troubled, regional-sports network that carries the games of the Houston Astros baseball team and the Houston Rockets, the city's basketball team, court papers show. (Note: Breitbart Sports reported last month that the Astros were the most profitable team in history despite putting together a dreadful line-up that ultimately lost their last 15 games to finish 51-111). Comcast "believes the network's assets have meaningful value, and would be prepared to make a bid to acquire either the network (under a plan of reorganization) or substantially all of its assets," the media conglomerate said in court documents. Comcast also said that it wanted the court to appoint a trustee to replace the network's management, which is at a "complete impasse," according to court documents. The network's three-member board consists of representatives of Comcast, the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association and the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball, according to documents filed by a Comcast affiliate. The network has been locked in a dispute with cable and satellite television providers over how much it should receive per subscriber, which has limited the network's reach. Comcast, which loaned the network $100 million through an affiliate, also said it was prepared to provide the financing necessary to keep the network operating until the bankruptcy could be resolved. The Astros called the filing "improper," although the team had not been paid its media rights fees by the network for the last three months, according to a Friday press release. Creditors can put a company into bankruptcy involuntarily if they can prove the debtor is not paying its bills. The company generally has about 20 days to respond to the filing. Creditors of Allied Systems Holding Inc, a major hauler of cars for auto dealers that was majority owned by private equity firm Yucaipa Cos, used an involuntary bankruptcy petition to force the company into Chapter 11 last year. The case is In Re: Houston Regional Sports Network LP, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Texas, No. 13-35998

We regret we have to close the Inter-Lakes Senior Center
To The Daily Sun,
It is with deep regret that the Community Action Program Belknap-Merrimack Counties Inc. (CAPBMCI) is announcing the closing of the Inter-Lakes Senior Center in Meredith. The agency has been faced with making this very difficult decision due to rising costs and funding reductions. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the community for supporting the center for many years. The Senior Center would not have been possible without the support of volunteers, civic groups, business donations, local agencies and municipalities.
The Senior Center relocated to the Meredith Community Center in Apri, 2006. Senior Center activities were held at the Trinity Episcopal Church for many years.
We want to be clear that the Elder Services Department under the umbrella of CAPBMCI will continue to provide all current services for residents of Meredith, Center Harbor and New Hampton. Meals-On-Wheels participants will continue to receive their meals five days a week through the nearby Laconia Senior Center. Service will continue without a noticeable change.
It is our intention to continue the Rural Transportation Program offering rides for medical appointments, grocery shopping and other important community resources.
For a delicious mid-day meal and fellowship seniors may take part in luncheons held at any of our senior centers, such as the Laconia Senior Center. We may offer rides to Laconia for lunch as needed. Other nearby luncheons includes Tilton, Franklin, Alton or Belmont. Depending upon the interest of local seniors we are exploring the option of a new community luncheon to be held once or twice each month in the area.

Truth prevailed in the end; Gulick v. Cormier was frivolous lawsuit
To The Daily Sun,
A Victory for Truth, Justice and the Rule of Law was decided by James D. O'Neill at Laconia Superior Court on April 16,2014. Case Name: Ruth P.Gulick, et al v. Jane Cormier, et al (211-2014-CV-00034).
The definition of a lawsuit is a case in a court of law involving a claim, complaint by one party against another. A frivolous lawsuit is characterized by lack of seriousness or sense and of little or no weight, worth, or importance.
On March 3, 2014, a complaint for violation of RSA 91-A was filed in court by Ruth P. Gulick, retired attorney, Democratic Representative to the House and also the Belknap County Convention. Colette Worsman, Republican chair of the Belknap Convention and Jane Cormier, Republican clerk were named as defendants. After the filing, David O. Huot, retired lawyer and judge, Laconia rep. and convention member took over as the case name in the suit. The complaint was signed by three more Democrats, Beth Arsenault, rep. from Laconia, Ian Raymond, rep. from Sanbornton and Lisa A. DiMartino, a rep. from Gilford.
The lawsuit was definitely frivolous in context, a political maneuver to fight for a bigger Belknap County budget, without thought of the taxpayers. Did the elected Democrats have limited knowledge of RSA 91-A statute? What will happen now? Will the Belknap County taxpayers be responsible for the cost? The elections this year gives us a chance to vote for the best candidate, one who will be for We the People.
At the Hearing on April 3, it was stated the court may invalidate the action of a body, not a person. I believe the judge stated this. The plaintiffs' filed a motion to amend on April 8. The motion was granted. Another try to keep the frivolous lawsuit moving by Rep. Huot, who was arguing for the plaintiff.
Did Rep. Arsenault, on February 18, decide to bring a vote to the table knowing there were more votes for the commissioners budget? Was the stormy night a chance to facilitate the bigger budget? Did anyone object to the speaker-phone conversation of Rep. Comtois? There was stealth participation from the convention members, no one objected (RSA 91-A:2, 3a and c).
All representatives take a vow to serve the public with honesty and integrity. The truth prevailed in the end, from a N.H. Superior Court: Interested parties at a meeting are entitled to object, but are not entitled to change their decision after the meeting. Accordingly, the plaintiffs' count 1 and 2 denied.

I hope you'll stand with nursing home residents & employees
To The Daily Sun,
Monday night the Belknap County Delegation (Convention) will discuss and vote on a special appropriation to provide Belknap County Nursing Home employees a modest 1.5 percent wage increase — the first increase in two years. The contract has been approved and ratified by the employees and the county commissioners. Now it is up to the county delegation to fund it.
There is unnecessary and embarrassing opposition and discord within the delegation, caused by its leadership, that is likely to unfairly victimize these nursing home employees and their new contract. I ask, will the anti-worker group that currently controls the delegation purport that their (anticipated) objection is really about the 1.5 percent wage increase, or is it more about the ongoing strife with the fair-minded, more socially responsible commissioners who oversee our county resources and responsibilities?
For more than a year, I have read about and seen their childlike behavior and shenanigans unfold. Their meetings have included name-calling, tantrums, members storming out, deception, and an overall lack of respect for the law. This is certainly not indicative of democracy, and in fact, has become an embarrassment to the people who elected these extremist legislators.
Now the dysfunctional behavior is being focused on one of our most vulnerable populations — our elderly. Nursing home residents cannot safely and fully care for themselves at home. Families make the difficult decision to move their elder loved ones to a new home for better, safer and healthier care than they can provide at home. They take a leap of faith and entrust their beloved family member to nursing home staff. And in turn, staff rise to the occasion by providing loving, attentive care for the family member.
As a 30-year Belknap County resident and as their union president, I stand up for the nursing home employees. Their work is incredibly challenging and difficult but it is also full of compassion, grace and virtue. I respect and value them more than I can express in this simple writing.
They toil around the clock to make sure the residents are clean, shaved, fed, entertained, monitored, and as physically fit as possible — and let's not forget — loved. Staff members often lift and move individuals who outweigh them and must attend to individuals' most personal hygiene needs. This is not a "day at the beach" job. And yet some members of the delegation are not supportive of a 1.5 percent pay raise. It's disgraceful and shameful that their political ideology so blatantly overshadows the needs of our most vulnerable citizens.
Nursing home residents thrive under a continuum of care provided by the same quality, loving team members. "Familiar faces" matter so much in our final days of life. A revolving-door of staff, which low wages cause, jeopardizes elderly residents of nursing homes. In order to maintain excellent care and standards, we must compensate workers at a rate that ensures they can take care of our loved ones, as well as their own. They deserve and need to earn a living wage.
Both bargaining teams — the employees' and the county's — agreed to a contract that recognizes the challenges created by the high cost of health benefits. The employees made concessions in their health benefits in order to get the modest wage increase. The employees are not money grabbing gold-diggers, much as some delegates like to portend. They simply need a fair contract to be funded so they can take care of their families while they take care of ours.
If the contract is funded, as taxpayers it will cost us less than a medium cup of coffee to help these workers feed their families. Surely the seniors in our community are worth that small sacrifice.
I hope you will stand with the Belknap County Nursing Home residents and employees. Join us at a rally of support on Monday, April 28, starting at 3:30 p.m. at the Belknap County Complex, 34 County Road, Laconia. You can also help by signing on in support at this link: http://1984.seiu.org/page/s/support-belknap-county-nursing-home-residents-and-staff.

Sunday, April 27 is Gold Star Mother's Day in New Hampshire
To The Daily Sun,
During the First World War, in May 1918, President Woodrow Wilson approved the suggestion of the Women's Committee of National Defenses recommending that American women should wear a black band on the upper left arm adorned with a gold star. Each star representing a family member who had given his or her life for their country. President Woodrow Wilson first used the term "Gold Star Mother" in his letter to the Women's Committee.
The mothers of New Hampshire's fallen heroes have made the ultimate sacrifice for human freedom, and we owe them the most profound debt of gratitude. More than anyone, they bear the deep emotional burden and loss of those who have laid down their lives for the cause of liberty. New Hampshire owes these dignified and graceful mothers of freedom our deepest admiration and our promise that the sacrifice of their children will never be forgotten.
To assure that their children would not be forgotten, in 1999, Gov. Jeanne Shaheen signed into law RSA 4:13-h: "Gold Star Mother's Day, "calling for ...the proper observance of the first Sunday after Easter which shall be known as Gold Star Mother's Day recognizing and honoring all mothers who have lost sons or daughters while on duty in the United States armed forces. The governor shall urge the citizens of the state to observe this day with appropriate events..."
Each year, this observance is an opportunity to offer our solemn respect to Gold Star Mothers and renew our ongoing pledge that America will always remember those who died while wearing the uniform of the United States and forever honor their families' sacrifice.
In the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944: "There is nothing adequate which anyone in any place can say to those who are entitled to display the gold star in their windows America lives in freedom.

Renewable energy has become politically correct boondoggle
To The Daily Sun,
Profiles in courage defined John Kennedy. Profiles in cowardice describe Barack Obama.
Once again Obama has kicked the can down the road on the Keystone pipeline to placate environmental advocates who hold sway in key Senate elections in November. The delay has not only drawn the wrath of conservatives, but union construction workers who are the really big losers. They are the ones missing out on tens of thousands of new, high-paying jobs while Obama plays politics first. It is no wonder why working-class Americans by majority have become a key voting segment for the Republican Party over the past 25 years.
If a good job is a key to happiness and security, Main Street knows, who best provides those opportunities (and who stonewalls them).
After an exhaustive two-year investigation, the U.S. State Department issued an exhaustive report suggesting the Keystone posed little environmental threat while giving its approval to proceed. The U.S. has dozens of pipelines that cross the border with Canada.
America has tens of thousands of miles of pipelines that crisscross every state in the country like veins in the human body. These pipelines are the life blood of our economy. They provide the gas for our automobiles and the heat for our homes. Obama uses the Keystone as a "dog bone" to reward deep-pocketed, political donors to the Democratic Party.
Renewable energy has become a politically and socially correct boondoggle. All it has done is killed tens of thousands of high-paying jobs in the fossil fuel industry, increasing our debt through a complex maze of generous federal and state subsidies that obfuscate the REAL and true cost of alternative energy generation. The cost comparison of alternative energy sources like wind and are now at all-time highs compared to fossil fuels, most especially natural gas. Wind energy has never been more expensive that it is today. These billions in hidden subsidies that totally distort the true cost of energy to the consume are going to mega size corporations most all of which are based in Europe.
If global temperatures can rise unabated from carbon emissions (a theory still hotly debated scientifically) then the likelihood we are all headed to be fried chicken without being rolled in the colonels secret batter is a strong possibility, no matter how many wind mills the U.S. erects, or how many thousands of square miles we cover with solar cells.
It took America 150 years to create 1 billion tons of coal burning capacity annually. The Chinese just did it in 10. They are on target to add another billion in the next eight years. China still has hundreds of millions of people who have yet to experience the joy of a single light bulb in their home. Coal is cheap and abundant in China.
Listen carefully. All we are doing with federal subsidies to alternative energy is hiding the real costs, which to this day are uncompetitive with fossil fuels with little likelihood they ever will be. After decades of searching to make them less costly nothing has ever been found to make them practical competitively.
The German government just announced recently it was slashing its renewable energy subsidies because high energy costs from renewable energy are causing them to lose billions in business on global markets. That is what is coming to America.
Lost business and more lost jobs from high renewable energy costs and beautiful mountain tops pock-marked with windmills that only make sense to run if government hands endless billions to their European owners.
