SBA names Victoria Tifft Ohio's Small Business Person of the Year
Blog Entry:
May 17, 2012 10:57 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Ohio's hopes rest on the shoulders of Victoria Tifft.
OK, it's not the future of the state that's at stake. But Ms. Tifft, president and CEO of
Clinical Research Management Inc.
of Hinckley, in Medina County, has been named Ohio's 2012 Small Business Person of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration and will represent the state next week in a national competition in Washington, D.C.
Ms. Tifft and the SBA winners from all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam, are going to Washington as part of the May 20-22 celebration of National Small Business Week. One of the entrepreneurs will be selected as National Small Business Person of the Year.
The Hinckley company, which is known as ClinicalRM, is a full-service contract research organization that supports clinical research and clinical trial services for biologics, drugs, and devices for both government and commercial customers.
Its technologies address issues related to traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder and regenerative medicine, among other things.
"The innovation, inspiration and determination shown by Victoria Tifft and her employees have elevated ClinicalRM to a level that is above and beyond the norm," said Gil Goldberg, district director of SBA's Cleveland District office, in a statement.
Mr. Goldberg said nominees are judged on seven criteria: staying power; growth in number of employees; increase in sales and/or unit volume; strong current and past financial reports; innovativeness of product or service offered; response to adversity; and contributions to aid community-oriented projects.
National Small Business Week is "a big deal for small business" because it "cast(s) the spotlight on the importance of supporting small business owners and shine(s) a light on best practices to that end."
This Penguin can bite
The Wall Street Journal
that Google Inc.'s recent tweaks to the way its search engine ranks websites — designed to downplay sites it suspects of artificially boosting their rankings — has some small businesses "scrambling to avoid being relegated to the Internet's junk bin."
The newspaper starts with a recounting of the woes of Andrew Strauss, co-owner of San Francisco-based Oh My Dog Supplies LLC. In the past,
The Journal
says, about 70% of his customers found his company from the results of Google searches, often for terms such as "dog beds" or "dog clothes."
But since Google's algorithm change at the end of last month, "he says his website isn't showing up in Google rankings — at least not where most people would see it," according to
The Journal
. Traffic through Google has plunged by 96%, he says.
Google declines to divulge specifics of its search-ranking algorithm, but it "discourages paid links and low-quality website links," the newspaper report. According to Google, the recent shifts in its algorithm, known as "Penguin," will enhance the user experience and don't punish businesses that follow its guidelines.
"The Penguin algorithm update was designed to reduce web spam, which is when websites try to get a higher search ranking than they deserve by deceiving or manipulating search engines," says Matt Cutts, a Google engineer. "In many cases, the affected sites had been spamming for a long time," Mr. Cutts adds.
The Journal
notes that among the tactics Google dislikes are "keyword stuffing," or overloading Web pages with keywords, and paying for inbound links as a way to artificially boost search rankings.
So if you're doing those things, stop.
On the cutting edge
In its ongoing effort to use the power of government to bolster the still-weak economic recovery, the Obama administration
has proposed
a 10% small business tax credit tied to new hiring.
Almost everyone likes the sound of that, but
The New York Times
that the policy "appears designed as much to draw a political distinction as to generate new jobs." (Imagine that in an election year.)
Under the proposal, a company would get credit against income taxes worth up to 10% of the increase in total wages in 2012, "which could come either in the form of salaries for new hires or raises,"
The Times
notes. A company that increased its payroll by $4 million would see a $400,000 income tax credit.
The tax credit is capped at $500,000 to make it more valuable to smaller companies. And the White House specifically targets middle-income earners by limiting the proposal to the top wage that is subject to Social Security tax, $110,100.
The Times
notes that the administration goes to great lengths to contrast its proposal with a Republican small business tax cut that passed the House last month, which the White House contends is too tilted toward the wealthy.
allows companies with fewer than 500 employees to deduct 20% of their income in 2012, though the deduction is limited to half of cash wages paid to employees.
The Times
notes that an
by the Tax Policy Center "estimates that almost half of the benefit of the tax cut would go to people earning more than $1 million."

Col. Hunt is my sister's favorite army guy (mine is MG Rick Lynch, in case you forgot). He was the guest host on the Howie Carr show (WRKO) today. He is a howl. So, anyway, he gets on the crazy "Global Orgasm for Peace" thing and I called. First off, he couldn't say my name. How can you mispronounce Maggie? He kept saying it with a soft G, like DiMaggio. So, I laugh and say "Maggie"and I pitch him my "Orgasm for Victory" alternative. I tell him we have to "Be Sweet to the Fleet!" He laughs and keeps asking how they are going to measure their reaction in the Global Orgasm for Peace" camp. I tell him "We don't care. They are long haired, rope-smokin' Kerry voters!". He replies "Oh Moonbats?". "Yes" I tell him. I remind him that we met at the Milbloggers conference and this story is all over the blogs. You know he blogs, right? Then I harrassed him because he is always mentioning that he lives in Maine and is from Scituate. I asked why he never mentions Charlestown. He yells "My father is from Charlestown!" I tell him I know and that means he is from Charlestown, that's where his people are from. LOL Jeez! A few minutes later he mentions my "Orgasm for Victory Day" again.
Come on people! Practice, practice, practice!

Help for an out of towner!
- w
- Wannabfoode Aug 19, 2009 08:47 PM
Hi, I'm yet another visitor begging for help! I will be in LA for 3 days next week and looking for some suggestions. I have been perusing the boards but there is so much! Looking for the most delicious things LA has to offer, food tends to be a central theme in my vacations!... Have car, will travel...
In the past I have eaten at AOC--amazing! The Ivy--pretty ,but underwhelming food, and 1 Sunset, which was alright, and some random taco stand between LAX and the beach (darn tasty!). I am curious about Providence and Lucques; any thoughts?
I'm travelling alone and I'll be spending one day in Malibu, so definitely need a recommendation for there (nothing too high-falutin' as I'll be coming from the beach) then staying in West Hollywood and visiting family/friends in Silverlake, and Santa Monica. I like to dine at the bar when solo, so good dining bars are always appreciated. I know this is a bit vague, but all suggestions are appreciated.
We've been in LA all week. Today went to Hugo's in West Hollywood for brunch. A fascinating menu and our food was delicious. Particularly if you are into vegetarian, "green", and creative, you'll enjoy it.
Malibu: Malibu Fish & Seafood
West Hollywood: 8 oz. or Village Idiot for casual food, Angeli for something nicer
Hollywood: Hungry Cat
Silverlake: Blair's
In the Silverlake area, if you don't mind a bit of a dive, try Millie's on Sunset. Delicious, creative and interesting food.
You can take a look at their menu here: http://losangeles.menupages.com/resta...
ADD: This is a breakfast and lunch spot only as they close around 4 PM - just so you know
Millie's Restaurant
3524 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
re: Servorg
Another well-loved brunch option near Silver Lake (in east Hollywood, across from the Scientology temple) is Square One. Amazingly fresh ingredients. House-cured salmon benedict, nice patio.
They're also only open for brunch/lunch and tend to have a long wait on the weekend. But since it's August, they've been slower. Got a table right away last Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
I also second Hungry Cat for seafood.
you can't go wrong with Lucques or Providence...
In Malibu, definitely hit up Malibu Seafood...perfect for after the beach as it's ultra casual, with outdoor picnic tables...or if you're going to be further north in Malibu Neptune's Net.
In Silver Lake area...Barbrix on Hyperion or Canale in Atwater...or if you'd go a little further east Palate Food and Wine in Glendale...actually that would be perfect for a solo dinner
re: JPomer
Malibu Fish & seafood is great - but fyi: it's further up PCH (the highway) than most other places, and unless you're at that particular beach across the street, you will need to drive and parking can be very tight, unless you don't mind parking on PCH and have cars whizzing by you at 55 mph while you navigate the shoulder. Also it's BYOB if you want to drink alcohol, and closed on Mondays. Just so you know...
If you're not that far north, you may want to hit the Country Mart & Lumber Yard, which are two nice shopping areas at Cross Creek & PCH. Lots of decent casual places there.
re: Phurstluv
parking can be tight at Malibu Seafood, but you can always park in the adjacent parkland lot...JUST BE SURE TO follow the rules and pay the parking fee because they'll ticket you in the blind of an eye if you don't!
re: JPomer
Oh yeah, especially now that they're BROKE!!
re: JPomer
Don't waste your time with Mailbu Fish & Seafood... it's well worth the drive up to Neptune's Net. If you're looking for something casual, "beachy," and delicious, this is the spot. If you go, notice that there are two different counters to order from. One is where you'll grab drinks and order something fried (fish, calimari). Then there's a different line for the non-fried seafood. Don't skip that. Get a pound of steamed shrimp, and some raw oysters. Something raw, something steamed, and something fried. Delicious.
Neptune's Net Seafood
42505 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265
If you liked AOC, try the bar at her new restaurant, Tavern in Brentwood. Malibu's restaurants aren't great but Tra Di Noi in the Cross Creek shopping center and maybe even the new Malibu Pier Club might be worth looking into.
Bar dining in Santa Monica:
Anisette - french brasserie
I Cugini - italian seafood
Bar Pinxto - spanish tapas bar
Musha - japanese itzakaya
All within walking distance of the promenade & ocean avenue.
re: Das Ubergeek
thanks for help!
my friends mentioned trying a place in malibu called gladstone's. anythoughts?
re: Wannabfoode
Only for drinks. The view is great as it is located right on the beach but the food is little more than mediocre--though the portions are large.
re: Wannabfoode
Tourist trap, highest grossing restaurant in California, don't go for the food.
re: Wannabfoode
Only if you want to blow your entire vacation's food budget and then fling yourself off the pier in a fit of gastronomic remorse.
re: Wannabfoode
In a word. Don't. Trust me, I live right up the street.
re: Das Ubergeek
also supposed to be having lunch at a place in beverly hills called The Farm. Any feedback on this one?
re: Wannabfoode
See http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/643291, not to be confused with The Beverly Hills Farm at the Grove.

- A US Strategist Speaks on Japan's Leadership and Energy Policy NeedsTaniguchi Tomohiko
In early November 2012, Abe Shinzō, president of the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party, was announcing that his party would reactivate Japan's nuclear power plants if it returned to power. This was in response to Prime Minister Noda Yoshihiko's announcement of a plan to phase out nuclear power by the 2030s. On November 7, Nippon.com editorial board member Taniguchi Tomohiko spoke to John Hamre, president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, to hear what he had to say about Japan's energy policy choices and the outlook for bilateral ties.

The "shale revolution" offers the promise of energy independence for the United States and another energy option for Japan in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Boulder, CO

I recently purchased a Kenmore Elite 600 series Maroon gas grill. Initial impressions were that it was very solidly built (with the exception of a couple of internal struts that are designed to be loose for some reason I cannot understand...) Seems to have very even heat distribution and the stainless grates and burners are excellent. My only complaint is that the tray around the side burner does not lift out without disassembling the gas connection, so if any food spills into burner area, you cannot easily clean it. Good product overall.
Congers, NY
via sears.com
Unit assembly instructions for shelf screw mounting locations are not clear in drawings (especially the location of M4X12 screws). Several pre-assembled screws were stripped and loose on unit. Natural Gas connector kit was unavailable in the store and required online order. Kit arrived missing essential flame height tool needed for proper setup of BBQ.
Norcross, GA
via sears.com
I bought this grill to replace a Kenmore Elite grill purchased in 1998. That grill lasted many years and was rebuilt several times. I just didnt want to get rid of it. I decided this was the year, so we went to Sears to see if the new Kenmore Elite grills were as nice. Turns out, they are! The grates are very thick allowing you to get perfect grill marks and the grill gets very hot. The design minimizes flareups and after using it 4 times I am very happy with the decision to stay with Kenmore Elite. IT IS A GREAT GRILL!!!
Scranton, PA
via sears.com
I shopped around for at least a month,read reviews on consumer reports then decided this was the best grill for the money I was putting out.I previously owned a Weber, which is a wonderful product, however the quality in the Elite 600 is comparable to the Weber. Much more features for grills in and around the same price range. If this grill lasts as long as my Weber I will truly be impressed. I must mention that I grill all year round.

Well, we're starting to get some real quality bikini pictures these days. No more second-stringers. Today it's some great Kate Beckinsale bikini pictures for you from Kate's family vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Kate looks as sexy as ever in her bright orange bikini, but she really does have me questioning whether her breasts are real or not.
There has been a lot of speculation in the past, but in some of these pictures, I don't know what's going on. I hope that's just some awkwardly trapped water, because otherwise there is definitely something very wrong with Kate Beckinsale's breasts.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Absolutely love this card- we used it for our reception and accommodation information. It was beautiful and was perfect size for the information!"
"I chose my wedding invitation in the watermelon color which was a neutral pink. I absolutely love them. Complimentary review was included and my invites arrived earlier than expected (this was with standard shipping). I am very pleased with Wedding Paper Diva."
"This card was fantastic and you can do just about whatever you want with it. I uploaded a map to put on the reverse for directions and rather than just put one on there that would turn out poorly, they recommended I pick a different one! I went out and found another map, submitted it and it is PERFECT."
"This really completed our wedding invitations! We used the wedding invitation, the RSVP card and this card as part of our invites. It would be perfect for providing information of how to get from the church to the reception - however we actually provided a map and used this card to include a cute poem asking guests not to bring gifts and just add to our honeymoon fund!"
"LOVE THIS! We used this card to say the 'wishing well' poem where we basically asked our nearest and dearest to give us money in a suitcase for our wedding gift, nicely of course. It matched the whole peacock plume range, I'd probably add another or have same pattern (with clear centre) to write on both sides (for like accommodation, gifts, info). EXCELLENT!"

Geek challenge - a hack-proof network
That's the challenge facing computer experts building a new system for the Homeland Security Department while keeping the existing network operational and secure.
Technology will be a key to the success of the new system, which is expected to take years to complete, said Edward Kinney, director of information technology for Customs & Border Protection.
Kinney spoke Wednesday at a conference that put government and private computer company representatives together to discuss security. He declined to provide specifics about the network.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Moved out of district to get a decent education. Small town logic. Some excellent teachers, but handcuffed by higher authorities. Should combine with a bigger neighboring district.
I think the teachers are great! However, the union representative/librairian is totally worthless just as their grounds facilitator! Eventually, I think the new sup will start to see through their mists of deception and get rid of the one who pretend to care about the district's real interest, a clean, safe and happy place for all!
great school, great overall education for a small school and teachers
Great school, small but my children really like the instruction received. Class sizes are rather large though.

Justin Bieber Pulled Over By Cops After Paparazzi Freeway Chase (PHOTOS)
Justin Bieber apparently feels the need for speed.
The "Boyfriend" singer was just pulled over for racing down the 101 freeway in Hollywood.
Why is an eyewitness saying the 18-year-old singer should have been arrested?
L.A. City Councilman Dennis Zine, who saw Bieber in action, told TMZ:
Bieber was driving like a maniac. He was weaving in and out of traffic. There was hardly any space between cars as he weaved from lane to lane. If I was on patrol, I would have arrested him for reckless driving. I was going 60 and he drove by me like he was in a rocket ship. He was a maniac.However, Bieber's manager Scooter Braun said Zine "is just a councilman looking for a headline" and that Bieber was going 80 mph in an effort to shake the paparazzi.
Just yesterday, Bieber made headlines as well. Reports claimed that he and girlfriend Selena Gomez were on the rocks; however, the couple were pictured holding hands in Los Angeles last night.
Celebuzz recently talked with Bieber about his new album. Get dating tips straight from him in this video:

i just got a new order for an appraisal on a property being sold. it has an unpermitted addition of about 300 sqft. with the additional sqft the value is there but without the addition it falls about $50,000 short of the purchase price.
do i include the addition in as sq ft or not? i know i shouldnt but it's bound to get me yelled at if i say the value is not there
|Sponsored Links
Much depends on how your market views the addition. How does your local government view such issues? Do they generally ask for it to be removed or gladly change the tax card and charge a fee for the privilege of paying higher taxes? Make sure you know what is correct for your particular market before acting.
As for getting yelled at, if that is a problem for you that would cause you to alter your opinion of value of a property you need to become deaf, grow thicker skin or find another profession. You will get yelled at in this profession and generally need to be able to handle it like a duck's back handles water.
i dont mind getting yelled at but i dont want to defend my reasoning on why the value isnt there. if i include the unpermitted addition in the gla i will get conditioned and they will ask for permit #'s but i already know there are none. so they will tell me to take out the addition and that will result in different comps and a lower value. we shouldnt have to worry about permits and just appraise what we see
$50,000 for a 300SF addition? Thats $167 a square foot! Not in my market.
I am doing one right now where they added a 450 square foot stick built addition to a HUD manufactured home of 2100SF. The addition is of a higher quality than the main structure and it was done without a permit.
Contributory value of the addition...maybe $10,000. Should I include it in the GLA? I think so BECAUSE the market will recognize it's contribution not the fact it was done without a permit.

It depends on the market area. This situation would be a problem here. The title company would note it and then the brakes would be put on the loan until the certificate of occupancy/compliance was issued for the structure. If the structure was not built to code or in a nonconforming location, it may have to be altered or razed.
Depends on your area. How old is the addition? How old is the house? You could make the report subject to inspections and approval of the addition.
My advice is to contact your client and ask them to check with the lender to see if they require permits in order to value non-permitted areas.
My general advice:
In appraising an addition, it is the market that determines if there is value for a non-permitted area. For example, in San Francisco, non-permitted additions/conversions are common and typically have full market value. In other areas, the market does not give full (or any) value to non-permitted areas. So, whether an area has market value is market derived.
Having said the above, the lender has the right to require all areas that are given value in an appraisal report be fully compliant and permitted with the local regulatory agencies and zoning.
HUD and Fannie do not require permits for value, but individual lenders may and do; it would be considered a contractual agreement of the assignment (not a Supplemental Standard, since its not a Government Agency or GSE). Again, my advice is to get with your client and have them run it by UW or lender rep.
Good Luck!

Puck Daddy
Ryan Garbutt draws 2-game suspension for kneeing Taylor HallJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy7 hrs ago
More American Thanksgiving suspension fun from the NHL. Ryan Garbutt ... you've just been hit with a two-game suspensionfor kneeing Taylor Hall in a Tuesday night game, which will cost you $43,902.44. Oh yikes, that's a lot of money -- but hey it's going to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund so it's all good .
The NHL announced the move as indeed, for kneeing.
The video please:
As the NHL indicates, Hall wasn't injured on the play, and Garbutt got just a two-minute minor for tripping. But then again Garbutt is s repeat offender, having garnered a five-game suspension for boarding Dustin Penner in 2013, and a fine for spearing Corey Perry.
Adam Lowry gets 1-game for slamming Patrick Kaleta into the boardsJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy8 hrs ago
Happy Thanksgiving in the United States, Adam Lowry. Oh, we know you play in Canada with Winnipeg, but the NHL decided to give you a one-game suspension for the below hit on Patrick Kaleta from your Wednesday game against the Sabres.
Look at the video ... it's just ugly from a Kaleta perspective. I mean, his face just gets rubbed into the boards, and way after he gets rid of the puck. His back was turned ... ouch.
Lowry got a major penalty and a game misconduct for the play. And he's going to get fined $4,453.41 as part of the suspension. Kaleta did return to the game later. Also, it was Kaleta's first home game in 14 months.
Said Kaleta to the Buffalo News after the game:
"That's the way it happens sometimes," Kaleta said. "If you've followed my career you'll notice I'm attracted to that sort of stuff. It is what it is. I'll be fine."
What we're thankful for in hockey, 2014: Friends of Puck DaddyYahoo Sports Staff at Puck Daddy10 hrs ago
(Ed. Note: It's Thanksgiving in the U.S., a.k.a. "Real Thanksgiving", which means it's once again time to reflect on what we're thankful for in the world of hockey. Here are some of our favorite hockey people from around the 'web telling you what they're thankful for; our picks are later. As always, we give thanks to you, the reader, for supporting this blog.)
Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
Scrape: The brief life and merciful death of the dry scrape. It's an example of the NHL being willing to try new things, and to them abandon them if they prove unworkable.
Vladimir Tarasenko: What's a new season without a thrilling young player to get unrealistically excited about? (Tomas Hertl is so last year.)
The long-awaited emergence of the Islanders: Hockey in New York—and around the league-- always seems a little more meaningful when the Isles are good.
The struggles of the Avalanche: There's a difference between confidence and hubris.

What we're thankful for in hockey, 2014Yahoo Sports Staff at Puck Daddy14 hrs ago
(Ed. Note: It's Thanksgiving in the U.S., a.k.a. "Real Thanksgiving", which means it's once again time to reflect on what we're thankful for in the world of hockey. Here are the editors and writers from Puck Daddy and Yahoo Sports, offering their picks for this year. As always, we give thanks to you, the reader, for supporting this blog.)
Sean Leahy, Editor, Puck Daddy
Jaromir Jagr. He's ageless. He's going to play until he's 50. He's amazing. The fact that he started in the NHL in 1990 an is still scoring 20 goals a season 24 years later is a testament to his skill and dedication to the game of hockey. I hope he never retires.
Advanced stats. While I'm still educating myself in that world, to have statistics available (and still developing) that better analyze teams and players is a gift for hockey media and fans.
Hall of Famer Pat Burns. Finally.
Darryl Sutter. He once responded to a question of mine back in 2012 about if the Kings' scoring woes concerned him after a low-scoring, shootout loss. "Nobody died, and it's a hard-working point for our team." Just the best.
NHL Three Stars: Leafs, Caps downed in OT; Patrick Kane, boy wizard; Captain PickardJen Neale at Puck Daddy21 hrs ago
No. 1 Star: Blake Comeau, Pittsburgh Penguins
Comeau secured his second career hat trick in dramatic fashion by scoring the OT winner against the Leafs.
No. 2 Star: Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks
Kaner assisted on all three 'Hawks goals in Chicago's 3-2 victory over Colorado. He pulls some kind of black magic puck handling to set up Bryan Bickell's game winner.
No. 3 Star: Calvin Pickard, Colorado Avalanche
WHO?? Exactly. The 22-year-old backup to the backup netminder for the Avs drew the short straw and had to face the Chicago Blackhawks in his fifth ever NHL game. He may have taken the loss, but the kid made 45 saves against a pretty good team.
Honorable Mention: The Islanders were credited with 55 (!!) hits to the Caps 28 ... Washington was 2-for-2 on the power play and the Islanders were 2-for-3; either both teams are really good on the man advantage or really bad on the penalty kill ... Alex Ovechkin scored 2 power play goals in the 3-2 OT loss to NYI; John Tavares netted the winner on the power play (natch) ... My, what wonderful power play passing skills you have, Pittsburgh Penguins ...Fri, Nov 281:00 PM PSTChicago at AnaheimPreview Game
Watch Martin St. Louis tribute in return to Tampa Bay (Video)Jen Neale at Puck Daddy1 day ago
The parting of ways between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Martin St. Louis was about as amicable as any reunion episode of a reality show.
Still, the contribution to the franchise cannot be ignored. In 927 games played with the Lightning, Marty amassed 953 points (365 goals, 588 assists), and one Stanley Cup back in 2004. On Wednesday night, St. Louis returned to Tampa Bay for the first time since the trade.
He was honored during a TV time-out in the first period with this video:
St. Louis, with tears in his eyes, saluted fans tapping his fist against his heart. The arena gave him a standing ovation (despite booing him heartily the first time he touched the puck earlier).
It's funny. Often when a contentious breakup of a team from one of it's 'face of the franchise' players happens, fans are left asking the question of who their loyalty is truly with: the player or the the team? Can it be to both? Sure, but often the most passionate of fans take the reasons for the parting somewhat personally.
(S/T to Caity Kauffman and the Tampa Bay Lightning for the video.)
Adam Lowry ejected for boarding Patrick Kaleta (Video)Jen Neale at Puck Daddy1 day ago
Things were getting nasty in the game between the Buffalo Sabres and the Winnipeg Jets. So Winnipeg's Adam Lowry decided to go and make it worse.
Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta was watching the puck after he released it when Lowry came in for the hit. Kaleta, with his shoulders square to the glass, had his head whip backwards before it makes contact with dasher. Take a look.
In recent player safety videos, the department has emphasized the number of seconds between the time the player receiving the check has released the puck and the time he was checked. Anything over a second or two usually results in a suspension.
The 6'5" Lowry coasts from the goal line to Kaleta without taking another stride in an attempt to correct his trajectory. The check is well after the Buffalo player has released the puck, and he sees those Twinkie gold numbers the entire way.
For the hit, Lowry was ejected, given a 10-minute game misconduct penalty, and an additional 5-minute major penalty for boarding. Kaleta went directly to the locker room.Fri, Nov 284:00 PM PSTMontreal at BuffaloPreview Game
Martin Brodeur to join Blues on a tryout basis beginning FridaySean Leahy at Puck Daddy1 day ago
"I'm here if somebody needs me. I'm going to keep myself ready. Whatever happens, I don't need to make a decision. I don't want to cheat myself of any opportunities if it happens later on. I'm just taking it day by day."
Those were Martin Brodeur's words earlier this month at the Hockey Hall of Fame inductions. One day, he'll be part of the ceremony in Toronto, but for now he still wants to continue playing, and isn't ready to retire.
Well, someone does need Brodeur. The St. Louis Blues, to be exact.
On Wednesday, the Blues announced that the 42-year old Brodeur will begin practicing with the team later this week. Their goaltending situation took a blow with the news that Brian Elliott is "week-to-week" with a lower-body injury. Jake Allen will take the helm for now, and Jordan Binnington has been recalled from the AHL on an emergency basis.
Puck Daddy Power Rankings: Jack Johnson's parents, Slava Voynov and Daniel AlfredssonRyan Lambert at Puck Daddy1 day ago
[Author's note: Power rankings are usually three things: Bad, wrong, and boring. You typically know just as well as the authors which teams won what games against who and what it all means, so our moving the Red Wings up four spots or whatever really doesn't tell you anything you didn't know. Who's hot, who's not, who cares? For this reason, we're doing a power ranking of things that are usually not teams. You'll see what I mean.]

Graduation address given by Swati Dave
Swati Dave gave the following occasional address at the University of Sydney Business School graduation ceremony held at 2.00pm on 4 October 2013 in the Great Hall.
Ms Dave is Executive General Manager, Specialised Finance, Product and Markets at National Australia Bank.
Graduation address
Pro-Chancellor, Associate Dean, Academic staff, Graduates, Parents and Friends
I'm delighted to be here to offer my congratulations to the graduates.
It's truly an honour to share this moment with you because it's so full of hope, enthusiasm and optimism about the future – it reminds me of how I felt almost 30 years ago...
Your journey to this point is a mark of your hard work and achievement. You've shown your dedication and determination to succeed.
No doubt your parents and your family, your teachers and your friends have also invested time and effort to help you reach this milestone. I'm sure there've been many sacrifices along the way too....
As you embark on the next phase of your life – it's important that you take the time to reflect on your exceptionally good fortune in getting to this point - at this wonderful institution and say "thank-you" to these important people in your life.
You now have the academic credentials to start or perhaps further your career.
The world is full of opportunity and it's now up to you as to how you make the most of it.
My own career in banking started in 1985 – and quite opportunistically. I didn't set out with an ambition to become a banker but once I got there - I realised very quickly that it was a great opportunity to learn and to contribute given the important role that a bank plays in our society.
I've had some amazing roles and experiences over this time.
I've also made some mistakes and learnt from them and continue to do so even now.
That's what makes life interesting and worthwhile.
I'd now like to share with you some of what I've learnt through my career:
Firstly - Live and work with purpose
We all have dreams and aspirations, which inspire us to reach for our goals – whatever they may be.
And while we'll have different views of what success means and how we'll get there, we all need to feel that our work is meaningful and appreciated.
That's what I would encourage you to look for in your roles – it's a choice you can make.
My dreams and aspirations motivate and drive me to do my best – it's also what I draw upon when things are tough or not working out as I'd like them to.
I 've consciously chosen to work in an area of banking where I can help improve people's quality of life and I do this by financing things like hospitals, schools, roads and so on. It makes me feel good.
Secondly - Do something you're passionate about
I'm passionate about my family and about making a valuable contribution to my community both locally and globally. I prioritise this in my life.
So when I'm doing what I really believe in or love, it doesn't feel like I'm working. It feels like fun even though I'm working very hard. This kind of happiness is felt by the people around you, who'll see the passion and energy and want to help you succeed.
There's nothing more soul destroying than working in a job you're not interested in. When this happens, people around you notice they're not getting the best out of you – and you're unlikely to do well.
That's a waste of your talent, your potential and your energy.
Thirdly - Be an active learner
This is really about investing in your own personal growth and development. Whether you do this through formal education, through learning in your role or through other interests (like sporting or community group)s – it's a good idea to keep broadening, refining and developing your skills.
It's how you stay interested, relevant and productive.
It also helps you to adapt in a constantly changing environment.
I've done this throughout my career and continue to do so. It's given me the confidence and the courage to try different roles that stretch me and force me to learn more – and prepare me for future roles.
Fourthly - Be a team player
Life is a team sport. We all need to be good team players – sometimes we lead and sometimes we follow. So whether it's your personal or professional life, you'll need to nurture, support and sustain relationships.
Understanding and engaging the people around you is really important if you want to succeed.
Finally - Give something back
At the beginning of my address, I spoke of the time and effort invested by your parents, your family, your teachers and your friends in getting you to this milestone.
It's now time for you to start thinking about what you'll give back.
You can do this while you're building your career and in any way that works for you – it could be mentoring, volunteering, leading or supporting causes that you're passionate about.
You're all smart and motivated people and your point of view matters.
You have the ability to shape and influence agendas and outcomes and I suggest you do this early in your career and not wait till you are older, richer or wiser.
The process of giving and helping others will keep you connected with people and balance your intellect and ambition with compassion for others.
So in closing, I'd like to remind you that you have a choice about what future you create for yourself. You can choose what you do and who you work for.
Be passionate, be courageous, and have the self awareness and self confidence to achieve your dreams and aspirations.
I wish you all the best of luck.

Contrary to initial reports from
Canadian defense officials, two members of the Snowbirds precision
aerial demonstration team did not eject from their mortally wounded
aircraft. Instead, a report just released in Ottawa says they rode
the aircraft to the ground. One pilot was killed -- the other was
ejected from the aircraft by the force of the ground impact, but
walked away with only minor injuries.
It happened December 10th near Mossbank, about 65 km south of
the Snowbirds' home base in Moose Jaw. The two aircraft were on what the government
called a "routine training flight." Capt. Miles Selby,
31, of Tsawwassen, B.C., was a two-year veteran of the Snowbirds
and had flown CF-18 fighter jets during combat missions in Kosovo.
Capt. Chuck Mallett, 35, of Edmonton, was reported alive after an
ejection from his CT-114 Tutor.
The CBC reports an interim investigative report is due to be
released next week, but will contain only factual findings. There
will be no conclusions or recommendations, according to a Canadian
Air Force official.

Four major Eastenders characters have been given the boot in order to boost the flagging ratings for the BBC programme.
The changes will occur in the New Year with characters Kirsty Branning, AJ Masood, Carl White and Poppy Meadow all leaving the soap.
Producers are hoping that the shake-up will help the drama regain its position as Britain's most popular soap, and increase viewing figures back up to its peak of 16.6 million.
Although some familiar faces are leaving, the show is also introducing new characters including a love interest for Bianca Butcher played by comic Terry Alderton.

Woman accused of drunk driving with grandchildren in carMay 02,2013Grandma accused of drunken driving
BENNINGTON A Silver Street woman was charged with five misdemeanors on Monday after police said she had been stopped on Saturday while driving with three children in the car and a blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit.
Evelyn L. OBrien, 53, of Bennington, pleaded innocent on Monday to two charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and three charges of reckless endangerment.
In an affidavit, Officer Joshua Stemp, of the Bennington Police Department, said he stopped OBrien around 9:10 p.m. on Saturday after watching her drive through the intersection of Main and Depot streets. According to Stemp, OBrien drifted toward the opposite lane while driving through the intersection.
During the stop, Stemp said he learned there were three children in the car, a 10-year-old, an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old. Two of the children were OBriens grandchildren and the third was a family friend.
According to the affidavit, OBriens blood alcohol content was measured at 0.176 percent at the scene of the stop around 9:25 p.m. The legal limit in Vermont is 0.08 percent. At the police station, around 10:30 p.m., OBriens blood alcohol content was measured at 0.0162 percent.
OBrien, who has no criminal record, was released without bail on Monday but ordered not to have any children younger than 18 in her vehicle when she drives.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Controlling costs and ensuring educational opportunity across the state are two of...

So I happened to have some free time to finally do my last load test for some FMJ reloads for my .243. Went out to the field I shoot in with 70 rounds of a load I know works well. I ended up shooting at gophers most of the day.
One of the saddest yet best moment of my shooting days happened all at the same time. I hit a gopher at 343 yards, which was freaking awesome.....but nobody was there to witness it. The owner of the field came over as I was walking back from the corpse though. So that's proof enough.
I also shot a few gophers with the SKS, but all where under 100yards. I never thought those little buggers would be so hard to see with iron sights man. Happened to take fifteen shots at a target to show a friend, same guy who owns the field, just how "accurate" the gun is. Even I was surprised by the size of the group. I'm alright with it though since its still minute of bad guy, defiantly going to adjust the sights though.
After all that, I finally got to doing my load testing, six hours after getting there. The three groups where done with an 80gr FMJ pushed by 40.5gr of accurate 4350. The optic used was a Tasco 2.5-10x39, all groups where done from a prone position with a Walmart bipod.....please for the love of god don't ask what happened to the one group, I've no idea.
Also, to those who say Rem 770s aren't worth what they cost, mine must be a special one.....but the SKS still has a better trigger, in my opinion anyways. All-in-all, was a pretty fun day.

Comments about Aspen Flocked Table Top Christmas Tree:
Was concerned, initially, that the tree might look better in the picture than it does in person...boy, was I wrong. It's even prettier! Absolutely love it! It was a little messy (the flocking) when I was shaping it, but it's worth the little bit of mess. I'm so happy I chose this tree!

Advent: December 10th
Monday of the Second Week of Advent
» Enjoy our Liturgical Seasons series of e-books!
Old Calendar: St. Melchiades, pope and martyr
St. Melchiades "who suffered much during the persecution of Maximianus; when at last peace was restored to the Church, died in the Lord." He was an African whom St. Augustine calls "the true child of the peace of Jesus Christ." He ruled the Church of God in the last period of the Christian persecution from 311-314; hence the title of martyr is applied to him in a wider sense. His was the good fortune of witnessing the beginning of an era of peace, for in 312 the Emperor Constantine granted freedom to the Church. According to the the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite today is his feast.Jesse Tree ~ Joseph
St. Melchiades (also known as St. Miltiades)
Two popes had been exiled by Emperor Maxentius, and for nearly two more years the Church in Rome was steeped in turmoil, making it impossible to choose a pope. Finally Miltiades, an African, was elected. He had served as a priest under Marcellinus during the terrible Diocletian persecution. Now, however, he witnessed the effects of a kinder, more generous Roman government. Indeed, the Church would actually be favored with splendid gifts. By 311 the Church began to enjoy a peace resulting from a decree of toleration issued in both the East and the West. Emperor Maxentius ordered the properties of the Church restored. These included the land and buildings that had been confiscated during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. In 312 for the first time since the outbreak of persecution, a pope was able to preside over the celebration of Easter in full possession of the Church's holy assets.

Labour slams broadband plans… "misses the mark by a country mile"September 5 - 9am
National's blatant pork-barrelling ICT announcement should reinforce a growing sceptical electorate's view that they are all about the gift wrap and not the present.
That's the damning view of Labour's ICT spokesperson Clare Curran who says the government needs to focus on what matters following its broadband announcement this week.
"Instead of addressing the real issues – the woeful inefficiency of Chorus in rolling out ultrafast broadband and its desperate attempts to keep copper prices high along with the low uptake of UFB by households, National has merrily announced it will broaden its scheme to parts of New Zealand where it needs more votes," Curran says.
"The industry hasn't been consulted; even Crown Fibre Holdings, the government agency charged with managing the UFB contracts, hasn't been consulted. And to cap things off National will use asset sales coffers to fund the UFB expansion.
"National has based its ICT policy on spending the industry's money to increase rural broadband using a failed model and extending the urban scheme to appear to be handing out free lollies using a deeply flawed recipe."
Curran says National must provide a "solid guarantee" that it hasn't promised any more backdoor hand- outs to bail out Chorus.
"National's polling clearly indicates regional New Zealand has lost patience with the current abysmal connectivity and is scrambling to patch over the cracks," she adds.
"Instead of creating a Chief Technology Officer to develop a joined up vision for a tech-savvy nation across rural and urban New Zealand and undertaking an increasingly urgent, fast but thorough, review of UFB and the rural broadband scheme, Amy Adams has produced a mediocre and thoughtless policy.
"It makes no attempt to address the issues raised by communities, the industry and by those hoping for ICT to be at the heart of economic development. It is nothing more than a cynical gap filler."
