Tomlin, Deduno each set to make first starts of '14
Indians, Twins back at it after extra-inning affair in opener
The Indians made a decision based on depth when the time came to piece together their starting rotation for Opening Day. It came down to Carlos Carrasco and Josh Tomlin for the final job. Of the two, only Tomlin had a Minor League option.
After giving Carrasco a chance to reach his potential, the Indians have since altered their initial thought process. Carrasco has been placed in the bullpen following four rocky starts, and Tomlin will be promoted from Triple-A Columbus to start Tuesday's game against the Twins at Progressive Field.
"For Josh, he had a pretty good spring," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "For what I think are the right reasons, we wanted to see Carlos pitch. There's a lot more that goes into it maybe, than just a guy pitching. You know going into the year that you're going to need more than five starters and, if you clear the cupboard to make sure you're set for Game 7 of the World Series on Opening Day, you don't keep your organization very healthy.
"That was something we really were trying to think about a lot and Josh probably caught a little bit of it, because he had an option. That's what we talked about. ... You want to keep depth, knowing that you're going to need it."
Tomlin's start against Minnesota will mark the completion of a long comeback for the pitcher.
A fixture in the Indians' rotation in 2011, Tomlin dealt with arm issues in 2012 and required season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Aug. 22 of that season. He last started a game for Cleveland on July 27, 2012, and has not won a game for the Tribe since July 5 that year.
All Francona has seen of the 29-year-old Tomlin are two scoreless innings last September, and a solid showing from the righty this past spring.
"Before I got here, I had heard all the stories about what kind of teammate he was," Francona said. "I got to see it firsthand. When we sent him down, he was as classy as you can be. I root for everybody on our team, but it's hard not to like them. My goodness."
In five starts at Columbus this season, all Tomlin has done is post a 2.06 ERA with a .185 opponents' batting average. In 35 innings, the right-hander has piled up 28 strikeouts against nine walks. On Thursday, Tomlin spun a shutout, limiting Durham to three hits and finishing with 10 strikeouts and no walks.
The Twins will counter with right-hander Samuel Deduno, who will be making his first start of the season for Minnesota. Deduno has been working out of the bullpen this year following a comeback from right shoulder surgery. When Mike Pelfrey went on the disabled list with a strained groin, Deduno got a chance to return to the Twins' rotation.
"They wanted me to be in the bullpen to protect my arm," Deduno said. "My success, doesn't matter what team, I just want to go out there, compete, throw strikes, make my pitches. If I do this, I know I'm going to be successful."
Twins: Mauer dealing with balky back
All-Star first baseman Joe Mauer was unavailable on Monday after leaving Sunday's game with back spasms. Mauer received treatment on Monday and he is considered day to day with the injury. After a slow start, Mauer entered that game hitting .406 with six RBIs in his previous eight games.
"When his back lets him play," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said, "we'll put him back out there."
Indians: Bourn's hamstring acting up
Center fielder Michael Bourn sat out Sunday and Monday due to tightness in his left hamstring. Bourn has indicated that he does not feel that the injury is serious, but it is the same hamstring that required surgery on Oct. 15 and flared up again in March, necessitating a trip to the DL.
"It has crept up now a couple times," Francona said. "I think, from talking to the trainers, the hope is that there's just some scar tissue that is in there, and he's going to feel it sometimes. If that's all it is, we're good to go. That's the hope."
Worth noting
• Entering this four-game series with the Indians, Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe had hit at a .345 clip at Progressive Field, dating back to the start of the 2011 season. His 14 extra-base hits in that span were tied with Kansas City's Alex Gordon for the most among opponents. Detroit's Miguel Cabrera ranked first with 18.
• The Indians used Michael Brantley, Carlos Santana and Lonnie Chisenhall as their 3-4-5 hitters in the lineup on Monday against the Twins. In their career against Deduno, Brantley has hit .286 (4-for-14), Santana has hit .154 (2-for-13) and Chisenhall has hit .333 (3-for-9).
• Entering Monday's series opener against the Twins, the Indians rotation had a 3.35 ERA (37 earned runs in 99 1/3 innings) at Progressive Field. That included a 1.51 ERA (six earned runs in 35 2/3 innings) over the last five starts.

This tiny camera contains a 20X optical zoom lens, for getting closer to distant subjects. Closer. Even closer. Right there. And once you're in tight on your subject and ready to shoot, you'll get the benefits of Canon's DIGIC 6 image processor. It excels in low-light settings as well as shooting with wide dynamic range. So whether you're trying to capture a wide-angle landscape with contrasting shadows and highlights or snapping an evening portrait, the SX280's processor can deliver bright, colorful photos that don't look overexposed or washed out. Cut the cord with built-in Wi-Fi The SX280's built-in Wi-Fi connectivity makes sharing photos with friends and family easier than ever. Even without an available Wi-Fi network, you can send photos directly to your smartphone using Canon's free CameraWindow app for Apple® and Android™. You can even send HD video to your mobile device. The SX280 lets you record in MP4 format, so your videos are optimized for easy viewing on tablets and smartphones.

It's also helpful in tracking your route between shots, so you can re-create trips on the map by seeing where and when each of your photos were snapped.

Power Shot 280sx Written By PS, Charlottesville on Monday, March 31, 2014 The camera takes very good pictures and the telephoto is outstanding. The wifi is not very useful. GPS is better. Pros: Really nice images. Great optical zoom. Compact. Cons: No panorama software built into the camera. Wifi only communicates with the canon software. The same thing can be accomplished by popping out the memory card and placing it in a card reader. Does not allow you to see images in real time or operate the camera remotely as my GoPro does. The gps tracking function is nice to see where you have been, but mostly works with the proprietary software. Would like to show people a map of where I have been and then allow them to click on photos. Can' do it!

I received the Canon PowerShot SX280 HS for X-mas and just love it! I have never been able to take great pictures and with this camera I am having so much fun! It just about does everything you could think of doing and it comes out picture perfect, so if you are looking for a camera to fit your needs, then get this one and shot away! Pros: The zoom on this camera is awesome! Cons: None

Canon power shot SX280HS Written By JoeO, West Hollywood, California on Sunday, November 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The camera seems to take great pictures. The process to transfer photographs directly by Wi-Fi to my iPad is slightly awkward but seems to work well. I wish the camera had a little higher amount of megapixels, 12 seems a bit low. But, basically I am very happy with the camera. Pros: Slightly awkward to use Wi-Fi. The optical zoom seems to work wonderfully. Cons: Would be nice if it was more like 16 or 18 megapixels rather than only 12.
Canon PowerShot SX280 HS Written By Alan, Dalian China on Wednesday, September 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is the best Point and Shoot Camera I have ever owned and I have had a few! But buy an extra battery! Still I highly reccommend this camera. Pros: Great pics. Cons: Battery life
Compact and effective Written By joe f, Lancaster, NH on Monday, August 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am just beginning to use it. I bought because it is the same as sx10 powershot canon-except 12 mega pixels and about 1/3 the size and weight and made in Japan. Additionally, it has rechargeable batteries which is very useful when traveling in remote areas where I have been the last few years. It is great as you can take shots in an unobtrusive way. It also has the great benefits of WI Fi. Pros: Small, size, rechargeable batteries, Wi Fi, 20x optical zoom. Cons: None so far-but I am just beginning to use it.
Canon PowerShot SX280 HS Written By JW, Nebraska on Thursday, June 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Looks like it is going to work great. I wanted it for distance and it takes nice pictures of the kids in their programs.. Pros: Love the red! Cons: Sometimes my finger is in the way when the flash pops up.
Canon PowerShot SX280 HS Written By CJ, Philadelphia, PA on Sunday, June 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) very happy with the camera Cons: no panoramic
Really Like This Little Camera Written By SandyH, Frankfort, KY on Saturday, June 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wanted a small camera that I could take on vacation to Disneyworld that would take sharp pictures and be relatively fast. I received this camera about a week before we left, so I had a little time to play with it but was still learning. It is very easy to use, lightweight and compact. I have a Nikon D3200 that takes great pictures, but I did not want to lug that around in Disneyworld. I was pleased with the quality of the pictures from this camera. The ones that did not turn out well were operator error. :) Pros: This camera takes fairly sharp pictures and the camera lag was not as bad as other compact cameras that I've had. It is compact. Cons: Battery life was short. I had read reviews about the short battery life, so I purchased a second battery. Having a second battery is critical if you want to use the camera very much.

Don't miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs!
Tampa Bay Lightning News: Regular Season and Preseason Updates
About Tampa Bay Lightning
3/25/15: Please do not discount the Tampa Bay Lightning because they play in Florida. This is one of the best teams in the NHL and they showed it again with a solid 3-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings last Friday night. The Bolts are still competing for the first spot in the East, or at least the Atlantic Division. That may not happen, so there is a very good chance that they end up playing the Red Wings in the first round. For the record, the Lightning keep beating the Wings this season, and they hope that continues should they meet in the playoffs.
3/18/15: The Tampa Bay Lightning have played very well lately, though are still battling Montreal and Detroit for the top spot in the Atlantic Division. Since Tampa has played a few more games than their rivals, their standing position is a bit skewed, and every point counts for playoff positioning. Captain Steven Stamkos may have cost his team a precious point when he tossed a broken stick in the crowd last week. He got a 10 minute misconduct, which ended his game. They went to a shootout against Boston, but Stamkos was out and the Bruins won. Hopefully this will be a lesson learned by Stamkos going forward.
3/11/15: The Tampa Bay Lightning will be an interesting team to watch in the playoffs. Finesse teams often struggle in the postseason when the games get tighter and more physical, though Tampa has the best offense in the NHL and averages an impressive 3.3 goals per game. Another concern is playing on the road. Tampa is only 15-14-5 away from the Bay, and successful playoff teams can win on the road. On the other hand, they are almost impossible to beat at home with a 25-6-7 record. The Lightning are home on Saturday to host the Winnipeg Jets and Monday to host the Montreal Canadiens.
3/4/15: The Tampa Bay Lightning are still playing well, but not quite as well as the Atlantic Division-leading Montreal Canadiens. They earned a big win last Friday, shutting out perennial contenders Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 at home. Youngster Jonathan Drouin made the play of the night setting up the first goal. He pulled a no-look backhand pass from behind the net to the slot where Brian Boyle was set up undefended. The Lightning continue to be a monster on offense and were the first team to break 200 goals this season. The Bolts have home games on Thursday and Saturday, hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars, respectively.
2/25/15: There is no team in the NHL that is so vulnerable to an injury to their starting goalie than perhaps the Tampa Bay Lightning. Everyone saw what happened last season when starter Ben Bishop missed the playoffs. The team was swept in four games in the first round by the Montreal Canadiens. First and foremost, the Bolts need Bishop healthy and playing well at playoff time. But if there is an injury, the Lightning solidified their goalie depth by signing Allen York to a two-way deal, which will allow the team to move him between the NHL and AHL as needed.
2/18/15: The Tampa Bay Lightning are a great team this season and will go as far as goaltender Ben Bishop will take them. However, they have not been able to figure out the St. Louis Blues, who have beaten them twice in 10 days. Ironically, Bishop is from St. Louis and started his NHL career with the Blues. But a bigger problem has been their road trips. The Lightning are a mediocre 12-11-5 away from Amalie Arena. They need to improve that right away as they are on a Western Conference road trip. The face Anaheim tonight, Arizona on Saturday and Colorado on Sunday.
2/11/15: The Tampa Bay Lightning play an exciting brand of hockey. This is the kind of team to take a friend who knows nothing about hockey to see. They have a young, dynamic offense that leads the league in goals scored by a large margin. Their defense and goaltending is underrated. And the team is very, very young. They will be good for a long time. That youth hurt them last week when the St. Louis Blues scored late in the third period to tie and then in overtime to win. They will learn how to close out those games in time. But the Lightning have another shot at the Blues this week, hosting St. Louis on Thursday.
2/5/15: For those who have not been paying attention, the Atlantic Division is displaying the type of top tier competition that the NHL loves. Tampa, Montreal and Detroit are all within one point of each other and take turns at the top of the standings. Additionally, all are on hot streaks with a combined 23 wins in their last 30 games. Tampa jumped back on top of the race last week when youngster Cedric Paquette notched the first hat trick of his career in a crucial 5-1 win over the Red Wings. Paquette is among several young and talented players on the Lightning which should keep Tampa near the top of the standings for several years.
1/28/15: It has been a good first half of the season for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They entered the All Star break with a 30-14-4 record, good for 64 points which leads the entire Eastern Conference and is third in the NHL. The Lightning are known for their offense and lead the NHL in goals scored with 156 and are third in the league in goal differential with +29. One of their young offensive stars is rookie Jonathan Drouin, who won the fastest skater competition at the NHL All Star Skills Contest, finishing with a blazing time of 13.103 seconds.
1/21/15: There has to be some concern in Tampa these days, even though the Lightning are at the top of the Atlantic standings. The Lightning are a great offensive force. They lead the league in goals scored and it is not really close. At the same time, they are average on defense. They are not going to win many 2-1 games, they will win a lot of 6-4 games. But their best defenseman, Victor Hedman is out with an injury and no one really knows when he will be able to return. It is possible that for the next few weeks, the Bolts are going to have to move forward by scoring seven or eight goals.
1/14/15: The Tampa Bay Lightning continue to be the cream of the Eastern Conference. The season is just past halfway complete for the Bolts and they lead the NHL in goals scored with 140 and are second in the league in the all-important goal differential at +29. The Lightning continued their hot play against the Buffalo Sabres last Friday. They peppered Sabres goalie Michal Neuvirth with 47 shots. Neuvirth was outstanding and stopped 45 of them - good enough to earn the first star of the game. Tampa is home this week to host Edmonton on Thursday, Colorado on Saturday and Vancouver on Tuesday.
1/7/15: With the majority of their roster healthy, and that includes goaltender Ben Bishop, the Tampa Bay Lightning are tearing up the NHL. They currently sit on top of the Atlantic Division (though that can change daily with the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings lurking) and have the best goal differential in the East with a whopping +27. They are an offensive force with one of the best goal scorers in the league, Steven Stamkos. But the Lightning do not have to rely exclusively on Stamkos. They have a lot of offensive depth and their best line is Ondrej Palat, Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov. Even better for Tampa? All four of those forwards are 24 or younger.
12/3/14: The Tampa Bay Lightning only had two games last week, but Ryan Callahan played big in both. He posted three goals and two assists in those games, which moved him up to third in goals and fifth in total points this season. The Bolts won both games and share first place in the Atlantic Division with the Montreal Canadiens. The Lightning continue to be an offensive powerhouse and have registered a whopping 85 goals in just 24 games, which is four more than the next team - the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tampa hosts Buffalo on Thursday and Columbus on Saturday.
11/19/14: Tampa is so much better than people give them credit for. It is not a fluke that they are 11-4-2 after 17 games, and trail the Atlantic Division-leading Montreal Canadiens by just one point. Tampa can score. They already have 61 goals to their credit, which is about 15 more than the league average. On top of that, they have only surrendered 46 goals, which is about average. They could be a dangerous team later on the season and especially in the playoffs. They are on an East Coast road trip for most of this week but are back in Tampa to host the Wild on Saturday.
11/12/14: Don't forget about Tampa, everyone. The Lightning are not only at the top of the Atlantic Division (tied with Montreal at 21 points, though having played one fewer game), but they are simply lighting it up offensively. After chasing Blue Jackets goalie Anton Forsberg from the game after the first period with four goals, and putting up seven goals, the Bolts are averaging nearly four goals a game. Only the Pittsburgh Penguins are scoring more. This is a team that everyone should be mindful of. Tampa returns home on Thursday to face San Jose and then the New York Islanders on Saturday.
11/5/14: The Tampa Bay Lightning are rounding into shape. They are playing winning hockey and have put themselves near the top of the Atlantic Standings. Sniper Steven Stamkos continues to wreak havoc on opposing goaltenders. He netted two more goals against Philadelphia last week in a 4-3 win. Rookie Jonathan Drouin was dropped to the fourth line so he can learn to play without the puck. He may not put up huge numbers this season, but the experience will be invaluable and he will develop into a solid player over time. Tampa hosts Calgary on Thursday before heading out on a tough road trip.
10/29/14: There was a line on Twitter about how updating the Lightning's injuries was becoming a full time job. More than a little hyperbole there, but the sentiment is true. Tampa has been plagued by injuries already this season and lost Brett Connolly and J.T. Brown last week in a game at Winnipeg. The Lightning would go on to win the game 4-2, and it is a good thing they have some strong offensive weapons like Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Drouin and Ondrej Palat. That was their fifth win of the season and put them within a point of Montreal. Tampa has nice homestand this week with Philadelphia on Thursday, Washington on Saturday and Calgary the following Thursday.
10/22/14: It is impossible to figure out how good the Tampa Bay Lightning would have been last season if star sniper Steven Stamkos has not missed four months to a broken tibia. Or how far they could have gotten in the playoffs if goaltender Ben Bishop had been healthy. Both are back now and the difference shows. Stamkos scored a hat trick against the Montreal Canadiens - the same team that swept them in the first round last season. Meanwhile, Bishop, through three games has two wins and an overtime loss to go with a 1.61 goals against average and a very solid .931 save percentage. If both stay healthy, then the Bolts will go far this season.
10/15/14: The NHL would like for a real rivalry between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers to develop. It is there, but throughout the history of both franchises, they really have had nothing binding a rivalry except geographic location. That may soon change after the big hit the Lightning's Radko Gudas put on Florida's Scottie Upshaw. It was an elbow to the head that kept Upshall down for a few minutes. The NHL initially did not schedule a disciplinary hearing. If nothing else, it should get the blood boiling between the two teams. Tampa won the game 3-2 in overtime.
10/8/14: The Lightning won the Stanley Cup a decade ago, which was a tremendous shock to the established NHL franchises. Since then, they have been up and down. They have put together some good teams, even made it to the Eastern Conference Finals a few years ago, but have not been able to seal the deal. Last year looked promising until goalie Ben Bishop went down with an injury at playoff time. The Bolts are back this season and have all the ingredients to win the division. And don't think this is an apathetic fan base (as the Rays are considered), Lightning fans are some of the most passionate around.
10/1/14: The Atlantic Division should be on notice. The Lightning took second in the division to the Boston Bruins last season (notching 101 points in the regular season). Unfortunately, an injury to starting goaltender Ben Bishop essentially kept him out of the playoffs, and led to a quick first round sweep. But Tampa is back this season and looking for some vengeance. Bishop is healthy, and when he is healthy, he is one of the better goalies in the league. Martin St. Louis is gone after a bitter divorce from the team, but Ryan Callahan should be able fill those skates. Tampa starts the season at home against in-state rival Florida Panthers on Thursday, October 9th.
2/28/13: The Lightning are in a tough fight for the Southeast division crown. Currently, they are tied with Carolina at 19 points, and just beat the Hurricanes with a late flourish from some of their youngsters. Tampa has had most of their games at home, and won for only the second time in six tries on the road with the 5-2 victory over Carolina. The upgrade in goaltending and defense is making a definitive impact on this team. The Bolts could always score, but now the can defend as well - and that makes them very dangerous as the playoffs approach.
2/21/13: At one game above .500, the Lightning are ahead of last year's pace and just a win behind the Carolina Panthers for the top spot in the Southeast. However, this has to be a frustrating time for fans. The team can score - as expected. They lead the league with 55 goals in 14 games; an average of almost four goals a game. But they have also given up 45 goals, so they find themselves in shootouts. The upgrades in net and at the blueline have made a difference, but not enough to separate themselves from the pack . Don't be surprised if GM Steve Yzerman makes a move for another defenseman before the trade deadline.
2/14/13: Nail Yakupov was the number one overall pick and is contributing in Edmonton. Fellow Russian Vladimir Tarasenko started out on fire and is a must-watch every time he touches the puck. Justin Schultz spurned the Ducks, got to Edmonton and is showing he can play. But the guy who may win the Rookie of the Year is in Tampa - Cory Conacher. Conacher had five goals in his first 10 games and is showing he is a complete player. The Lightning struck gold with this youngster, though the league should be proud of all of their talented rookies.
2/7/13: At 6-3, the Lightning are atop of the Southeast Division by three points over Winnepeg. Give GM Steve Yzerman and the front office credit, they identified their biggest need and filled it. Although anyone could see they needed defensive help. Last season they were among the best on offense and Steven Stamkos led the league with 60 goals. But the defense and goaltending let the opposition pass through like a turnstile. Yzerman convinced Matt Clarke and Sami Salo to come to Tampa and traded for goalie Anders Lindback. So far the results speak for themselves. Tampa should win their division this season and can make a run for the Cup.
1/31/13: Its only been a few games but it looks like the Lightning learned from last season. It is no secret that the team has as much offensive fire power as any in the league, led by Steven Stamkos who led the league with 60 goals last season. But the defense was awful last year. The addition of goaltender Anders Lindback, as well as defensemen Sami Salo and Matt Clarke seems to have bolstered the group, as evidenced by the 5-1 thrashing on the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. If this trend continues, expect the Lightning to be playing deep in to the post season.
1/17/13: The Bolts will open the shortened NHL season against the rival Washington Capitals on Saturday, January 19th. Tampa made the Eastern Conference Finals two years ago as goaltender Dwane Rolloson had a remarkable resurgence. But he could not duplicate his work last season, so even though the Lightning could score with any team, they simply could not stop anyone on defense. This season, former Nashville backup Anders Lindback takes over between the pipes. He has impressed so far in informal practices. If he is anywhere above average, then Tampa will be a force in the East.
11/29/12: Most of the focus in the Lightning organization these days is on the Syracuse Crunch. The Crunch, whose players comprised the Norfolk Admirals last season and won the Calder Cup while sporting a record 28 game winning streak, are showing their strenght again, continuing to give hope to the Tampa fans who follow the prospects. Brett Connelly is a very interesting prospect. The big center is back from knee injuries and is making his mark in the AHL along with goaltenders Riku Helinius and Dustin Tokarski. Connelly has a chance to make the Lightning roster this season, that is, if there is a season.
11/22/12: Sad news for the Lightning family, as word is out that former defenseman Kaspars Ashtashenko has died. Ashtashenko only played in 23 games for the Bolts between 1999 and 2001. He played for the Latvian Olympic Team in 2002 as well. He was only 37 years old. Meanwhile, the lockout continues in the NHL, and many NHLers have transplanted themselves to European and Russian teams. Tampa fans are getting restless, and desperately want to fill the Forum this season. Tampa may not be a traditional hockey hotbed, but the fans are loyal and abundant, and can't wait to get back to the games.
11/15/12: With the NHL on hiatus (read: owner-imposed lockout), it's a good time to check in on some of the Lightning's prospects. Tampa's AHL affiliate is the Syracuse Crunch. Most, if not all of the players, were on the Norfolk Admirals last season, which was then Tampa's AHL affiliate. the Admirals cruised to the AHL championship, setting records by dominating the league. The Crunch this year are leading the AHL East division, ironically, by two points over the Admirals. Former first round pick Riku Helenius notched his first shutout since 2009 in a 3-0 win over the Hamilton Bulldogs, who are the AHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens.
11/8/12: Putting aside all of the hand wringing about Tampa's defense and goal tending concerns, Lightning fans can appreciate their hoards of riches when it comes to offense. Sure, there are the usual suspects such as Vinny Lecalvalier, Marty St. Louis, Steven Stamkos, and Teddy Purcel. But the Lightning may have another blue chip prospect in the pipeline. Cory Conacher was the AHL MVP last season and should make a strong push to join the NHL club soon. Though not big (5'8, 175 lbs), he can score - and would make a great addition with St. Louis and Stamkos.
11/1/12: This could be coach Guy Boucher's make or break year in Tampa, should there be an NHL season. The Lightning invested heavily in improving their back half by acquiring defensemen Sami Salo and Matt Carle. More importantly, GM Steve Yzerman pulled the trigger and traded for Nashville backup goalie Anders Lindback to be the starter in Tampa. The Bolts are already loaded offensively, and now believe they have the defense and goaltending to compete. All that is left is to actually have a season so the team can prove they belong in the contenders bracket, rather than play golf early again.
10/18/12: The Lightning players, through their own dedication, managed to keep practicing together during the lockout. In recent weeks, the numbers have dwindled as several players have gone back to their summer homes or opted to play overseas. But those that stayed should be commended. This is now Steven Stamkos' team, even though Vinny LeCalvalier and Martin St. Louis are still on the roster. And Bolts fans should expect a significant improvement over last season now that Anders Lindback is between the pipes. Considering the dedication of the players, the strong young talent, and an improved netminding situation, Tampa should be on the road back to the playoffs.
10/4/12: Lighting players are still trying to skate together, despite the lockout. But numbers are dwindling, and recently, only 11 players showed up for player-organized workouts. To make matters worse, defenseman Eric Brewer took a puck to the face and had to leave for medical treatment. And since it is a lockout, the treatment would have to be by a regular hospital/doctor, rather than team-provided personnel. Players and fans are getting frustrated by the lack of progress in the CBA negotiations and a perceived unwillingness by the owners to negotiate, but hopefully it will get settled soon and the games can begin.
8/16/12: Outside of lottery draft picks, rarely ever does an 18 year old prospect have a chance to make the NHL. However, the Sabres have two young guns with a legitimate shot of making the team. Buffalo selected Mikhail Grigorenko (No. 12) and Zemgus Girgensons (No. 14) with their two first round picks. Both centers are under contract and will compete for a job with the big club. Grigorenko was the third rated skater going into the draft, but fell due to concerns that he wanted to return to Russia and play in the KHL. The Sabres believe he is worth the risk and expect him in the NHL soon.
8/2/12: While some teams (the Islanders come to mind) are fighting for a new arena to call home through public and private financing, the Lightning are getting some upgrades at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. The Republican National Convention will use the facility for their political convention in late August, and has run of the joint from mid-July to mid-September. Some improvements include better cell phone coverage and an enhanced audio system. The Times Forum underwent a major renovation a year ago, which amounted to a much better fan experience as well as a more aesthetically pleasing look.
7/26/12: The Lightning underachieved last season mostly due to shaky goaltending throuhout the year. GM Steve Yzerman filled the void by trading for Nashville backup Anders Lindback, who gets rave reviews among NHL players. The Bolts also re-signed Riku Helenius, presumably to be the backup. Which poses a problem for young Jaroslav Janus, whom the team qualified but not re-signed. Tampa has hinted that he would be the odd man out in Syracuse (AHL affiliate) and he is far too good for the ECHL. A loan to a European club is an option, but it is very possible the team coul lose the talented young netminder.
5/22/12: The Tampa Bay Lightning have fifteen players signed to play the next season in self-proclaimed 'Hockey Paradise'. Cornerstones Vinny LeCalvalier, Martin St. Louis, Teddy Purcell, Steven Stamkos, and Victor Hedman are locked up - which is a good start. Those are players who can lead a team to a Championship. But aside from Eric Brewer, the Bolts really need to work on getting some defensemen on the roster. Of course the white elephant in the room is goaltending. Play between the pipes ultimately doomed Tampa in 2001-12, and an upgrade is deparately needed. Only Matieu Giron is under contract today.
5/15/12: Offense is not a problem in Tampa. The Bolts boast four prolific talents in Marty St. Louis, Vinny Lecavalier, Steven Stamkos, and Teddy Purcell. However, lackluster goaltending and defensive play doomed the team to a finish out of the playoffs, just one year removed from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. Head coach Guy Boucher believes over-confidence at the beginning of the season, combined with injuries were the major causes for the team's decent. At onetime, the Lightning were last in the East, but rallied to get within three points of the playoffs. Unfortunately, a 1-5-1 slide to finish the season ultimately ended any postseason hopes.
5/11/12: Tampa's goaltending problems highlighted its fall from Eastern Conference Finalist in the 2010-11 season to missing the playoffs outright in 2011-12. Veteran Dwane Roloson could not recapture his magic from the previous season, leading to a tough first half of the season. Tampa did have an opportunity to make a move mid-season and passed. St. Louis Blues' minor-league goaltender Ben Bishop was available at the trade deadline. Bishop was a top minor league goalie but not likely to play in majors behind the top league's goaltending tandem. Tampa stayed pat while Ottowa made the trade - and then the playoffs.
5/3/12: While the Tampa Bay Lightning missed the postseason this year, some players are invited to the World Hockey Championships. Nate Thompson and JT Brown will join Team USA and Teddy Purcell, who enjoyed a breakout season with 24 goals and 65 points, will play for Team Canada. Team Canada will also have Lightning coach Guy Boucher serving as an Assistant Coach, offering Purcell the chance to continue his growth as a player over the summer. Purcell was one of five Bolts players to score at least 20 goals, joining Steven Stamkos (60), Martin St. Louis (25), Vinny Lecalvalier (22), and Ryan Malone (20).
4/25/12: The Bolts showed they can score, finishing 8th in the NHL in scoring and owning the league's only 60-goal scorer in Steven Stamkos. Additionally, they have Vinny LeCavalier, Martin St. Louis, and Teddy Purcel, making this a very potent offense. But defense/goaltending and special teams were an issue this past season. The club allowed a league-worst 3.4 goals against per game, and ranked 25th and 26th in penalty kill and power play, respectively. Lightning fans are already clammoring to acquire either Roberto Luongo or Cory Schnieder from Vancouver to replace Dwayne Roloson in net, though Tampa would probably have to pay heavily for either one.
4/15/12: Where did the Lightning go wrong? The Bolts have a championship resume, stars who can score, good defense, a refurnished arena, and better looking uniforms than past years? Goaltending is the obvious and correct place to put the blame. Dwayne Rolosson was mediocre this season and the Lightning let the trade deadline slip by without addressing the issue. Unlike the crosstown Rays, the Bolts play in a well-located arena and have dedicated fans. Management owes it to them to find a true number one goalie for a team that should be able to contend for a few more years.

Baby Brian is so excited to see his grandparents, he can't hold his food down.
Today marks a milestone event in the Zuckerman household: We're taking baby Brian (now four months old) on his first airplane trip. Five-hour, non-stop flight to Phoenix to visit his grandparents, great-grandmother and other assorted aunts, uncles and cousins. Wish us luck. We have no idea what we're getting ourselves into.
We'll be out west all next week, flying home on Monday, Jan. 16. So you won't be hearing from me for the next 10 days … sort of. I've set up the blog to auto-post a new thread each morning so everyone can continue the conversation and discuss whatever happens to be taking place on that day.
If anything big breaks, Chase Hughes and the CSN gang will have you covered and will attempt to post news here. Also be sure to check the CSNwashington.com Nationals Talk blog for various items and updates throughout the day. And you will find one posting from me here on Monday: Revealing my Hall of Fame ballot shortly after the results are announced at 3 p.m. EST. Set your alarm clocks now.
I don't say this enough, but a heartfelt thank you to everyone who regularly reads this site, posts comments and sends me emails. You guys are the best, and this place wouldn't amount to anything without your participation. Talk to you in 10 days!

Zuck — I, father of three young boys and with family at 29 Palms, so know what you're getting yourself into woth that plane trip! You'll be fine. Babies on planes can have a hard time, but it goes a lot quicker than you tink (after you've landed) and he'll do great anyway. If some jackass gives you the stinkeye, because your beautiful little baby is a little cranky on the plane, tell him where to go! (I hate that. As if an infant can control the cabin repssure.) Safe trip and have fun.dfh21

Oh, with you gone, there is little doubt that we sign Fielder, …and Cepedas, and BJ Upton… and Lou Gehrig. There is little doubt. That's the way it always works in my business, if I go away, all hell breaks loose.
- Wally - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:05 PM
Mark – thanks for everything and enjoy that experience. I remember taking my daughter (now 10) on her first flight around the same age – IAD to Seattle. We thought that we were so smart, leaving on that late afternoon flight right in line with her nap time. Except we forgot that she needed to be walked before she fell asleep. Not so easy doing that while they are serving food & beverages. She finally settled for playing peek-a-boo at the guy in the seat behind me, who thought it was very cute for the first 10 minutes, and then wasn't so happy for the rest of the flight when she kept going.I am sure that you will do better!
- MicheleS - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:07 PM
Anon 3:02..Well we usually score a ton of runs everytime Mark leaves the press box! So the odds of Fielder being inked are pretty good now!
- Water23 - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:09 PM
Breaking news!!! Scott Bora$ is flying to Arizona to confront Mark about why he keep poo pooing the Fielder to Nats deal and costing his client. In reality, Scott is actually there to meet with Mrs. Z. and lock up the young BZ to a contract for appearances on NatsInsider. I hear it is a 5yr deal with opt out clauses!Have a good vacation!

Thanks much for taking the time to set up daily posts for us. That way, we (probably) won't trash the place while you're away. But just in case there should be some mishaph, allow me to say in advance (a) I didn't do it or (b) It was that way when I got here (choose the one that best applies).

I have one word for you–Robitussin. My daughter flew over 10 times in her first two years of life, always with the assistance of a little Vitamin R. I don't think it counts as a "drug of abuse" . . . .Have a great vacation.
- Natslifer - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:21 PM
Biggest thing to worry about is clearing his ears when the cabin pressure changes (one of mine screamed for 15 minutes on the way down – very painful!). If he's not a pacifier kid, then make sure he's got something to drink. Bon Voyage and have a great trip.
- Anonymous - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:28 PM
That actually would be funny … Fielder signing, Upton trade all in 10 days? Perhaps it gives Amanda Comack as chance to shine a bit. She has been doing some good work of late so …
- Water23 - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:33 PM
To help with Mark's time off, there is a decent article by Kilgore on the Fielder/Zim and the way the Lerner's do/may want to do business in the future.http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/nationals-journal/post/for-the-nationals-prince-fielder-or-ryan-zimmerman-is-only-a-choice-if-they-make-it-one/2012/01/04/gIQAo0KlcP_blog.htmlNice back and forth thinking piece.
- Water23 - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:36 PM
Also, there is some rumblings that Kendry Morales might get moved. If healthy he is a good young switch hitting power 1B.Interesting option
- Doc - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:41 PM
Have a good visit Mark, and get a few rays!
- Anonymous - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Nice back and forth thinking piece.Exactly, there a great many more variables that go into this. It becomes fairly complicated indeed! Factor in the possibility of moving Zim to first base? Seems remote to me. Zim has become an animal about staying in shape. Still?We probably need a spreadsheet to encapsulate them all. But my feeling is that the heavier weights are on the side of signing Fielder. I believe he could lead directly to Upton trade. And that would immediately give the Nats a world series capable lineup. I would say they would then be 1 pitcher away.
- pauloyd - Jan 6, 2012 at 8:48 PM
Wait a minute…your 4 month old is eating baby food? I have a 3 month old and didn't realize that was approaching so quickly. Now I must google this. Oh, go Nats!

- Anonymous - Jan 6, 2012 at 9:09 PM
Also, there is some rumblings that Kendry Morales might get moved. If healthy he is a good young switch hitting power 1B.Having Rendon, Zimmerman together, plus Chris Marerro, Tyler Moore and likely first base instead of catcher David Freitas? Still if Freitas could learn to catch … in any case it precludes a lot these sorts of options. The Nats will likely go to the draft for another first baseman first at this point. Then there will be time for things to become clear.
- John C. - Jan 6, 2012 at 9:16 PM
Bon voyage, Mark! Just remember to not check in with this cantankerous crew while you're gone. It's a vacation, after all. Safe journeys, we'll look for your posts on the flip side
- Anonymous - Jan 6, 2012 at 9:21 PM
Bring a pacifier or sippy cup to help Baby B's ears with the fluctuating cabin pressure. My wife and I always took turns playing with our little ones on the plane, so one of us would also be enjoying a little down time. Made the flight a lot easier.Oh, and I totally agree with another poster….don't worry a lick about what other people think of your crying/screaming/kicking kid. They can get off the plane and sleep through the night….you, on the other hand, probably aren't there yet.
- natscan reduxit - Jan 6, 2012 at 9:25 PM
… as a grandfather myself, I have to applaud you, Mark, for taking Brian to see his grandparents. I am so fortunate that of my five grandchildren, only two are a long drive away. The others are right here in the same city. But I know of too many people my age and ilk whose own grandchildren live so far away they never get to see them…. next to life itself, grandkids are the absolute very best thing ever!!… and oh yeah, have a great time in Phoenix, but don't forget about winter.Hurry up, spring training, and Go Nats!!
- Constant Reader - Jan 6, 2012 at 9:36 PM

According to Bowden (via Patrick Reddington) its the Nats board of directors sitting on the decision to sign Fielder. Rizzo is ready to get the thing done. IMO that deal could directly lead to an Upton signing which would theoretically give the Nats a playoff and potential world series roster for the next 5 years with just one more pitcher. Probably one of Solis or Purke depending on who gets their the quickest. Also a deal could be made to bring one from the outside: Tampa Bay Rays are the best source right now.That would be an incredible turn around.
- Farid - Jan 6, 2012 at 11:14 PM
Here's another grandpa who salutes you, Mark. I was born in Beirut Lebanon and in small nations like that, you can usually throw a rock and hit a grandparent. But in this great (and huge) nation, the love of grandparents is just too far away. And as a father of seven, I understand first-hand the hassles of travel cross country. Way to go.

An Upton signing could theoretically do a lot of things, most of them are bad. The dude's just not that good. One huge month in Spetember and we're all supposed to think he's got it all figured out now? Maybe, odds are long. Bourn baby Bourn.

Safe travels to Family Z.Isn't it interesting how the PF-F is up for free agency in a year when all of the biggest markets are taking a pass? Now that the Cubs are out, Boras might try to wait and see if the Rangers whif on Darvish. If they're out too, this just might happen. Does he really want to play in Seattle or Baltimore?If the market completely collapses, I wouldn't be surprised to see Prince go back to the Brewers. I know the Cards have said they're not in on Fielder, but it would be neat to see the nice folks in that great baseball town welcome a new Prince of the city.

Advocate Serah Blain, left, hugs Sandra Keeme, a homeless Navy veteran, at MANA House, a transitional housing facility for veterans in Phoenix, Ariz. The women's shelter opened this year and is seeking a stable funding source. (David Wallace / The Arizona Republic)
PHOENIX — The population of female veterans in the U.S. is small, but the challenges the women face to stave off homelessness are significant.
Sandra Keeme, 35, served in the Navy for seven years. She was deployed three times twice to Iraq, once to Japan.
During her deployment to Japan, she was sexually assaulted by a fellow service member. She developed trust and anger issues and quickly spiraled into alcoholism after she left the Navy. She eventually became homeless.
Keeme is one of six women living at a transitional housing facility for veterans in downtown Phoenix that is run by the Madison Street Veterans Association, a local nonprofit that helps homeless vets. She has post-traumatic stress disorder as a secondary effect of military sexual trauma. PTSD and military sexual assault are common among women in the military and are increasingly gaining national attention as more women step forward.
Weve all been through kind of the same situation. Being a part of the veteran community is like you have automatically an extended family, Keeme said, sitting on her bunk bed in the veteran womens center at MANA House, which stands for Marines, Army, Navy and Air Force.
We dont know how many women veterans are homeless in the Valley. I think one of the biggest reasons we dont know is because of the domestic violence that is prevalent in the veteran world.
Especially female veterans, theres not that many of us, but theres a lot more than there used to be, she said. We can identify with being surrounded by guys and being kind of taken for granted sometimes.
Female veterans make up about 17 percent of the veteran population in the U.S., according to the Arizona Department of Veterans Services.
MANA House provides transitional housing for homeless male veterans and opened its doors to women earlier this year. It is one of the only resources specifically provided for homeless female veterans in the Phoenix area. There is room for up to 16 women there.
The long-term viability of the womens shelter at MANA House is unclear because it does not have a stable funding source. There are several fundraising efforts to pay for the womens space until the organizations leaders can find a stable source of money.
Sean Price, homeless-veterans-services coordinator for the Arizona Department of Veterans Services, indicated that the number of female veterans who become homeless is relatively small. But he said there are unique challenges and needs for the women that do become homeless.
We dont know how many women veterans are homeless in the Valley. I think one of the biggest reasons we dont know is because of the domestic violence that is prevalent in the veteran world, said Price.
At MANA House, the women openly talk about menopause and other female issues. The area looks more like a hospital emergency room, with pastel-colored plastic curtains used as partitions between bunk beds. But for the women, its a safe haven where they can work to stabilize themselves and work to find a home.
This is really the only place for women, and they barely have room for us. We share the military. We share the homelessness, said Bonnie Diaz, who served in the Air Force from 1987 to 1994.
Diaz has been at MANA House since March and is on the hunt for a job. She lost her job and became homeless after her fiance, with whom she was searching for a new place to live, was arrested.
Diaz is the squad leader of the womens area at MANA House, responsible for keeping the living space in order and helping other residents. The mens center operates in the same way, with residents divided into squadrons that rotate chores.
Greater Phoenix is gaining national attention for its efforts to combat veteran homelessness, regardless of gender or family status. Most prominently, President Obama gave a nod to Phoenix during his speech on middle-class homeownership last month, saying the area is on track to end chronic homelessness among veterans by mid-2014.
It is difficult to find funding for just female veterans, but there are general resources designed for veterans that are available for both women and men, Price said.
Project H3: Vets is a program coordinated by the Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness, which works with community organizations to use federal housing vouchers to get chronically homeless veterans into permanent housing. The veterans also receive services to help them get back on their feet, such as substance-abuse counseling and behavioral-health care.
The program has been highlighted by federal agencies, including the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, as a model for other areas combating veteran homelessness. After Obamas speech in Phoenix, three regions Washington, D.C., Salt Lake City and Philadelphia challenged Phoenix in a race to end veteran homelessness.
Terry Araman, program director at the Madison Street Veterans Association, said he wants to keep the womens center at MANA House a transitional place that could provide women with the specific services they need until they can find housing on their own.
Keeme, for example, needs a place to stay while she addresses legal issues with a DUI charge.
By October, she wants to move to Prescott, Ariz., and start a new life. MANA House is a dry house, meaning no alcohol consumption is allowed. Keeme receives substance-abuse counseling and attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Constantly, since we opened the doors, Ive had people ask, and women veterans ask: You have a space for men; when are you going to have a place for women? Araman said.
The space for 16 women in MANA House costs between $200,000 and $250,000 a year. He intended the womens center to be supported the same way MANA House was, through a Veterans Affairs funding model, but he was not able to obtain the same funding.
While Araman works on securing a stable funding source for the womens shelter, organizations and individuals are raising money.
As a nation, its our obligation to make sure were stepping up and not shortchanging women veterans, because I think thats what has happened in the past, Araman said. Theyre a small group and maybe not as vocal, maybe not as prominent as the men veterans. But still, they deserve all the support we give to the men.

An ostomy creates an opening in the abdominal wall. A urostomy reroutes urine so that urine can pass through this new opening to a bag outside the body. Sometimes an internal pouch is created using the intestine.
You should be able to return to normal activities after your urostomy.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A urostomy may be needed if urine is not able to pass through the urinary system. Most of the time, a urostomy is needed because of problems with the bladder such as:.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems like:

You will have general anesthesia . It will block pain and keep you asleep.
An incision is made in the abdomen. A piece of intestine will be removed. The tubes that pass urine to the bladder will be detached from the bladder. The tubes are then reattached to the intestine that was removed. The other end of the intestine is then brought through the abdominal wall to form a stoma. One end is closed together to make a pouch that holds urine inside the body. The bladder may or may not be removed.
The abdomen will be closed. Stitches or staples will be used to close the skin.
Your breathing tube will be removed. You will be taken to the recovery room.
About 2-5 hours.
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You will be in the hospital for a few days. Your doctor may keep you in the hospital longer if you have any complications.

I've been a Warriors fan since they traded Chris Webber. Can you imagine how that's like....
The mighty Lakers, best team ever, 1-4. Been capping on them being favorites nearly every game.
Hopefully they continue to play rubbish for their next game.

On inside-oustide offense: "In the half court yeah but coach tries to emphasize to really push in transition. We had a lot of transition buckets in the first half and that really sparked our offense to not just walk the ball up and run sets. We still have speed and talent on the wings to run. Our bigs run pretty hard too, we have to use that to our advantage when we get in the open court." maybe mark jackson is getting it at last. "i wish i was a little bit taller" skee lo
The dubs have to bring their A game if they want to come out with a W. The Lakers are looking to right their ship and you can expect they will be playing hard. We need to get in the passing lanes and stop easy buckets.
Looking forward to Bogut and/or Ezli vs Howard.... "Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn't Work Hard"

I'm worried about this game.
Some guys are talking about the Lakers being 1-4 like that's an advantage. It's not. That team is going to the playoffs and they'll win more than 45 games once they put it all together. Kobe and Pau are career Warrior killers, Jamison always puts on against Golden State, Artest is a nasty guy for youngsters like Klay and Barnes to run into. With Bogut grounded and Ezeli still a bit naive, I dunno how well they'll be able to slow down Howard. My heart says Dubs by 8, my head says Lakers by 5. Either way, expect DLee to stay hot for another week. The man bunches great games. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Without bogut, this is going to be a hard game to win. Ezli has the size and strength to battle Howard, but he lacks experience. We will probably see some Bedrins.... at least I would hope that over landry or lee guarding howard. Remember last year when Jackson did the hack a Howard strategy and he went to the line like 50 times....
"Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn't Work Hard"
: 2010 - 2011 |
I'm not opposed to that... Although, i think if Jackson still had that urge in him we'd have seen it on DeAndre Jordan in that close game against the Clipps...
Where'd you hear Bogut wasn't gonna play? I thought it was the Denver game he was going to miss... GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |

It's either play limited minutes for a while or play extended minutes when it is fully healthy. Those were the options laid out to him. He chose resting for ten days to be 100 percent instead of playing an X amount of games till healthy.
Well, I hope the 10 days WILL make him 100%..or else I'm going to be pissed. I know it's early in the season, but given that BOLD statement, it better be true!
The Hulk is a Warriors fan.
Lots of nightmare matchups for us. Hope we're competitive enough for me to watch the game.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
Vegas keeps upping the beat down on us, from LAL 4.5, to 6.5, and now 7.0
Its a good day for motherfuckers to lose some money, I'd say. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |

The BIA calls its newest proposal the Forestry Privatization Initiative, which means what it sounds like: letting the private sector take over the management of Tribal timber land. In addition, the Bureau has scheduled a 33% cut in its forestry budget, and plans to charge tribes an increasing amount of administrative fees over time, beginning with FY-88, which starts Oct. 1, 1987. At the heart of the proposal appears to be the opinion of one Frank Ryan, an assistant to BIA head Ross Swimmer. Ryan believes the Bureau's trust responsibility with regard to Tribal forest resources only covers fire and insect danger. Why should the BIA help tribes make money with their resources, he seems to reason. Tribes with timber, of course, strongly oppose the initiative.

Would be interesting if they sent a couple of women - Von Braun saw the positives for such an approach:
-Women weigh less (generally)
- Take up less room
-Eat less
- and I believe said or implied they were more stable for such situations (boring, confined space flight)
So maybe a Xena, space princess and friend would end up going if this ever gets off the ground?
But there is one huge draw back, women... talk a lot more thus consume oxygen faster....
Don't send TWO women, a married one is bad enough, can you imagine:
Husband: What's wrong dear?
Wife: Nothing.
H: I can tell there's something wrong, what's up?
W: Nothing.
H: Is it something I've done?
W: Oh no, you never do anything wrong.
H: Come on dear, we've piloted the first manned mission to another planet. We are on Mars, now is hardly the time.
W: I'm fine.
H: I can tell you're not.
W: Oh so you notice me now then! You couldn't take your eyes of that interstellar storm earlier! Yes I saw you, ogling it! You haven't looked at me like that for years. *tears, lots of unwanted tears
H: Oh for fuck's sake.
W: Don't swear at me! *hysterical now
H: I wasn't swearing at you dear, I was swearing at the situation.
NASA: Mars 1, we're detecting a sharp rise in your blood pressure, is everything okay? Over.
Husband: Houston, she, erm, has a problem.
Think of the ratings for what could be the ultimate reality show...Kind of a European Big Brother in space....could subsidize costs of the mission too...

Safest Cedar Park Neighborhoods
Population 61,238
Cedar Park has an overall crime rate of 15 per 1,000 residents, making the crime rate here near the average for all cities and towns of all sizes in America. According to our analysis of FBI crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of crime in Cedar Park is 1 in 66. How does Cedar Park fare compared to other communities in Texas of all population sizes? Cedar Park's crime rate is lower than approximately 64% of Texas communities.
However, compared to other communities of similar population size, Cedar Park has a crime rate that is noticeably lower than the average. This means that for comparably sized cities all across America, Cedar Park is actually safer than most according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis of FBI crime data.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Cedar Park does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Cedar Park.
NeighborhoodScout's research shows that Cedar Park's violent crime rate is 1 per one thousand inhabitants, which is about average for all communities in America, across all population sizes. Violent crimes that are tracked and included in this rate are armed robbery, aggravated assault, forcible (not statutory) rape, and murder and non-negligent manslaughter. Roughly similar to the national average, our analysis shows that your chance of becoming a victim of violent crime in Cedar Park is one in 785.
Moreover, the rate of property crime in Cedar Park; burglary, larceny ($50 or more), grand theft auto, and arson; is 14 per 1,000 residents. This is about average for all cities and towns in America of all population sizes.

Hey everyone,
This is my first post, so sorry if I posted this in the wrong location.
Anyways, I have been riding a 7' 10" funboard for a couple years, and I was looking to buy a cheap, used shortboard. So, here is my info:
I live on Cape Cod, so I would generally be surfing on the national seashore - majority of waves are knee to thigh high, but I plan on using the shortboard on days where the surf is higher. Sometimes there are overhead breaks (but rarely).
I am 5' 10", 160 pounds. I consider myself above a beginner - I can catch most waves that are below head level, but above that I find the nose of my board digging into the water. I rented a shortboard and found it much easier with the bigger waves.
Anyways, I was looking for a board in the 6'6 range at local shops, and I found two semi-beat up boards for $130 and $110 (I don't care about quality that much, I just want something to mess around on).
The $130 dollar one is 6'3 in length, 20 inches wide, and 2 3/4 inches thick. This board is very thick and has a pretty decent rocker. It has a squared off tail (the regular tail - I think I used the correct terminology).
The $110 dollar one is around the same length (I don't remember the exact specifications), a little less wide, and about half the thickness. It is also very light, has a lower rocker, and has a small fin tail (like the fish tail - but the fins are not massive like most fish boards).
So, for my situation, which one would be better? The guy at the shop said that the thicker board would be easier to catch the smaller waves, but it is thick so I would sit on top of the water and could potentially ride quickly away from the break. The guy suggested the thinner board, but what do you think? The thinner board is in a little better shape.

Staff writer
A Lusby man was arrested Friday on charges including sexual abuse of a minor for allegedly inappropriately touching a 16-year-old girl between August and September.
At 7:30 p.m. Oct. 5, a man and a woman made a report at the Calvert County Sheriff's Office of a sexual offense involving the man's 16-year-old daughter.
The woman told deputies that on Oct. 1, while using an iPad the alleged victim had recently used, she came across Facebook messages between the 16-year-old girl and 47-year-old Timothy E. Johnson, according to charging documents. The woman read several messages, which were "very sexual in nature," deputies said.
Johnson, the president of Trumbull Mechanical Services in Waldorf, rented part of his Lusby home to the victim's father and the 16-year-old, according to charging documents. After the woman told the girl's father about the messages, he went to his daughter's school to speak with her. The girl allegedly began to cry and apologized to her father after admitting she and Johnson had a sexual relationship.
Troopers from the Maryland State Police Prince Frederick barrack met with the 16-year-old girl Oct. 11 at the Calvert County Department of Social Services. She told troopers she had about 15 sexual encounters with Johnson, which began in August and ended in September. She said she did not want any sexual activity to occur and told Johnson "no" on several occasions.
At 2:30 p.m. Nov. 6, troopers met with the girl again. The girl "had trouble remembering specific dates and the sequence of events" but told police what she could remember, charging documents state.
The girl told troopers some of the incidents happened at Johnson's workplace, according to charging documents. She said he would send her text messages and visit her throughout the day during normal work hours. Johnson allegedly tried to kiss her at the office, and she said "no," troopers said, and Johnson then "hugged her and rubbed" her body. The girl told troopers of about 15 occasions where Johnson allegedly kissed her, touched her inappropriately and forced her to touch him, charging documents state.
Johnson was arrested on a warrant and charged with sexual abuse of a minor and fourth-degree sex offense.

It depends on your definition of new. If you mean unused maybe, in the term of a current board then no. Every Intel s1155 board supports UEFI. Basically most AMD AM3+ boards support UEFI, FM2 boards must likely all. Imho UEFI is the coolest thing that you can use, especially when you use direct boot without grub - that saves you at least 5 sec from boot time. Btw. every board that supports UEFI Secure Boot (those with Win8 Logo on the product page) has an option to disable Secure Boot - so no problem at all. Also the default is usually that the CSM which is used for legacy OS which boot from mbr is on. Whenever you use an old gfx card without UEFI GOP then the CSM will be active anyway. Only with a very new gfx card with GOP mode or onboard vga you can disable the CSM and save extra initialisation time (also required for secure boot, some let you use secure boot with CSM enabled but thats completely stupid as you can already boot vom old legacy boot media).
PS: All boards are basically banana ware that you buy, so look for firmware updates - in most cases they fix uefi problems. Update immediately - the most simple solution for that i saw in new Asrock boards which had an integrated firmware update with online check for new versions and update directly from that.

Target: Chrna4tm2Lst Name: targeted mutation 2, Henry A Lester Alteration at locus: Knock-In |
Target: Chrna4 Name: cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 4 Chromosome: 2 Alteration at locus: Knock-In |
Genotype Determination:
ES Cell Line: Not specified derived from B6;129S1
Homozygous: Viable and fertile homozygous behavioural hypersensitivity to Nicotinic agonists
Heterozygous: Viable, fertile, anxious and hypersensitive to Nicotine induced seizers.
Strain of Origin: 129/ SvJ
Strain genetic background: C57BL/6
Strain Development: Donor took a complementary approach to the KO strategy by replacing an endogenous exon with one containing a single point mutation, Leu9' Y Ala9' (Leu9'Ala), within the putative pore-forming M2 domain of the a4 subunit, rendering a4* receptors hypersensitive to nicotine.
Suggested Control Mice: Wild-type littermates
Donor: Henry A. Lester, Ph.D., CALTECH
Primary Reference:
Colony Surveillance Program and Current Health Reports
Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on recipient females. Health reports will be provided prior to shipment. If you require additional health status information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com color:

1 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
2 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.
3 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer to at least two recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

My horse contracted West Nile virus (WNV) before there was a vaccination for it. I've heard some horses have been reported to have very different personalities after having WNV and would like to know if any were able to be safely used afterwards.
