Two former Syracuse players were selected to play in this year's All-Star game in San Francisco. Outfielder Alex Rios was selected to his second All-Star game while 2B Orlando Hudson was selected to his first All-Star game.
Entering play today Rios is hitting .288 with 17 HR, 46 RBI and 8 SB. 12 of Rios long balls have come from the leadoff spot this season where he has filled in admirably for the injured Reed Johnson. Only the Indians Grady Sizemore has more home runs, 13, than Rios from the leadoff spot this season.
Rios was selected to play in last year's game but was unable to play due to a staph infection in his foot.
The O-Dog will be playing in his first All-Star game. Entering play today Hudson is hitting .299 with 7 HR and 46 RBI. While Hudson has always been noted for his defensive abilities, including two Gold Gloves, this year has been a breakout-year for Orlando at the plate.
Pitcher Roy Halladay, who missed two weeks of the season, is still in the running to make the AL squad as part of MLB.com's final vote.
Other former Syracuse players who are not playing but should have received strong consideration include Oakland pitcher Chad Gaudin, who ranks 4th in the AL in ERA, and Toronto 2B Aaron Hill, who leads all AL 2B with 46 RBI.
In just two weeks the major league baseball season begins and clubs are now beginning to set their rosters. After three weeks of playing minor league prospects and invitees to their camps, big league teams need to get serious and start playing their starters at least 7-innings.
Yesterday the Blue Jays sent the Chiefs four more players who will begin the season in Syracuse. One of them, Adam Lind will be welcomed BIG TIME. Lind has captured MVP honors in two different leagues on his way up and will likely continue his early career success in Syracuse this season. Hopefully, he's here for more than just a month. Two of the Blue Jays other top prospects Alex Rios and Aaron Hill never saw June.
Also sent to the Chiefs was Russ Adams who will play everyday at Second base and corner infielders John Hattig and Rob Cosby. Hattig who can play 3rd base and 1st base batted .277 for the Chiefs last season – his first in AAA with 32 doubles. The line driver hitter with gap power needs ro improve on his power numbers (only 4 HR's last season) to make the next jump.
Cosby not only played 3rd base and 1st base but also right and left field for the Chiefs last season and after hitting 18 home runs in his rookie season at AAA.
Also sent to the Chiefs was righthanded pitcher Ty Taubenheim who came over from the Brewers last season and was impressive early as a starter and earned a promotion to Toronto in June.
Taubenheim now joins Josh Banks, Ismael Ramirez, Dustin McGowan and youngsters Michael MacDonald, Kyle Yates, David Purcey and Ricky Romero in a crowded fight for five or six spots in the Chiefs rotation.
Still with Toronto are righties Casey Janssen, Shaun Marcum and Josh Towers who are all battling Tomo Ohka and John Thomson for the final two spots in the Jays rotation.
Sounds like no matter what happens the Chiefs will be stacked with starting pitching.
Don't forget that on Monday 5-6 PM The Voice of the Chiefs Bob McElligott will be broadcasting live from Dunedin, FL on 1260 AM ESPN Radio.
All week look for up-to-the minunte reports from Spring Training.
Is there anything better at this time of the year than watching a Major League spring training game from Florida or Arizona? Tigers vs Mets today on SportsNet New York officially ended winter for me.
And with Spring games beginning onThursday, including the Jays vs Red Sox, we will try to provide some insight on Blue Jays player moves this spring. From the Blue Jays camp, it looks like Brandon League might be all right after all as he threw on the side for a second time without any pain. The Jays are also happy with Victor Zambrano's pace and aren't counting him out from making the roster, possibly as a reliever, this spring. 36 year-old Japanese lefty Jo Matumoto will be given an opportunity to pitch in Major League games this spring and who knows what he can do.
Jays skipper John Gibbons also indicated that rule 5 pick-up Jason Smith will play everywhere this spring as he tries to make the team as a utility player or the 25th man. Although Adam Lind is expected to begin the season in Syracuse, Gibbons isn't ruling out him not making the team. Could the Jays still be interested in trading Reed Johnson or Alex Rios for help in the pitching department (starting pitcher or set-up man)?
Thanks go out to Assistant Professor of Marketing Scott Lathrop from Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management for inviting Chiefs General Manager John Simone to participate in the "Marketing Speaker Series" on Wednesday night. John talked about Sports Marketing and Management, building interest in the community, developing alliances, the creation and launching of promotions, and the new branding of the Chiefs for the 2007 season.
The Chiefs hope to continue the association during the spring and summer sessions with Professor Lathrop and the university's marketing program. The Marketing Speaker Series has been such a success this winter that even Post Standard reporter Matt Michael attended Wednesday night's talk. Hopefully he enjoyed the presentation!
With the signing of free agent Frank Thomas by the Blue Jays on Friday the Jays took care of their designated hitter needs and unless they trade one of their three outfielders Reed Johnson, Vernon Wells or Alex Rios super prospect Adam Lind will likely begin the season in Syracuse. That's a good thing and something we thought people in Syracuse would be excited about. Not true. A good number of fans have told us this weekend that due to the fact that Frank Thomas has been injured so much from 2003-2005, that they look forward to seeing the future hall of famer in Syracuse during the next two years on an injury rehab assignment. Go figure.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Construction is now underway at an affordable housing project at Broadway and Fraser in Vancouver.
The 103 units are expected to be finished by September, 2013.
"The supportive housing site, run by the Vancouver Native Housing Society and the Broadway Youth Resource Centre, [will have] 103 units there of supportive and social housing," explains Councillor Kerry Jang.
"It's set up for the local-area homeless who were there initially, as well as youth in dire circumstances. It will bring some security to the area and ensure that we take the people who are homeless in the area, hopefully, off the street for good," he adds.
It was once the site of a HEAT shelter, which has since moved closer to Mount St Joseph's Hospital.
The project isn't all smiles, though; neighbours are worried the tenants will have addiction or mental health issues, with limited support services.

More TSA rights abuse porn

I'm not offended by traditional porn — the kind with naked people and and kinky this and that (as long as it isn't kiddie porn and as long as the participants are consenting adults).

All the airport's a stage, and all the blue-clad men and women merely players.
Actors often remark on the power of costume in terms of bringing a character to life: before donning the white-blonde wig, the pirate's eye-patch, or the Batsuit, they say, it's just line-reading and imagination. But once they emerge from wardrobe, Presto! The make-believe becomes near-reality.
TSA waste and fraud
by Bill Fisher
Each week there are reports of the TSA groping children and harassing the elderly, along with stories of internal corruption and theft. To divert attention from this continual bad publicity, the TSA likes to place stories trying to show that its employees sometimes do their job and find a weapon that a passenger forgot to remove from a carry-on bag. (Though how doing one's job is somehow newsworthy is puzzling. Imagine if Domino's issued a press release every time it delivered a pizza.)

Fish, Chips, and PEAS!
- 8 Comments
- Follow
Hey all,
Being originally from England, I'm craving a good Fish and chips. I know a couple of good places for this - but I'm actually looking for something more specific...! Is there anywhere in Toronto (in or close to downtown) that does the British traditional Fish and Chips served with peas?! Everywhere I know of serves with coleslaw on the side...but I want PEAS!!!!! :D
Help appreciated!
re: shana
Hmm, I know that place...excellent fish. But preferably not mushy peas (my other half doesn't like them mushy!!!!).
Oh, not mushy? That'll be harder to find. British Style (Dundas and Coxwell) has peas -- they are mushy, but less thoroughly 'mushed' than Chippy's.
I'm sorry I can't help. I haven't seen peas as a side in any of F&C stores I've been.

The place called Frank McNie's at Burnamthorpe and Martin Grove and High Street F&C on Underhill, near Lawrence and DVP (which actually IS Frank McNie's).
0 -
Bishop and Belcher, and English pub that used to be on Queen near CityTV did their fish and chips with proper (not mushy) peas - but I haven't been there since they moved to Church and Hayden... worth a call tho, I imagine.
0 -
I'm 99% positive St. Andrews offers peas with their f&c.

(2) Wed Dec 31 2008 20:22 Squeezing Out The Tube Of 2008:
I read 44 books in 2008, about half of what I read in 2007. Kind of depressing given I've got about 130 unread books, enough to keep me busy for the next three years at this rate. On the other hand, I wrote six short stories, compared to two in 2007.
I'm generally dissatisfied with the quality of the books I read in 2008, so I'm only going to mention a few that stood out: The Making of the Atomic Bomb (crummy.com Book of the Year), Anathem (the only fiction on this list), Consciousness Explained, Jimmy Carter's presidential memoir, and Sumana's friend John Morearty's self-published autobiography. Runner-up award to George Saunders, I guess.
A question, a conundrum if you will, about the quality issue. I've got a number of excellent books that I haven't read because I know I'm going to want to keep them. Instead I tend to read huge books that I know I'll discard after reading, to free up the maximum space on my bookshelf. A good strategy if I had infinite time, but I'll only live so long and I want to read books with a higher expected value. So I ask you, how do I force myself to read the books I think will be super good keepers in preference to the ones I just think might be good?
One idea I just thought of is to pick out the 30 books with the lowest expected values and hide them in a box. More room on the unread-book bookshelf = less pressure. And maybe one day I can just get rid of that box and not feel like I lost anything. Any other ideas?

Jane Goodall discusses plants, peace and plagiarism
The world's most famous primatologist talks with MNN about turning 80 years old, finding peace among plants, protecting forests and the long struggle to publish her latest book, 'Seeds of Hope.'
Thu, Apr 03, 2014 at 08:42 AM
Jane Goodall has a busy April: She's turning 80, releasing a book and promoting a movie. (Photo: Robert Gray/Getty Images)
Jane Goodall celebrates her 80th birthday on April 3, yet another feat for one of the most beloved scientists alive. Not only has she changed how we look at both chimpanzees and ourselves, but she has helped humanize science. It wasn't some prosaic old professor who first reported chimps eating meat and using tools in 1960 — it was a relatable, 26-year-old secretary without a university degree.
Goodall soon earned a Ph.D. from Cambridge University, of course, and became the de facto liaison for our species' closest living relatives. Over five decades, she has also been a world-renowned advocate for animal rights and environmental protection. She's now a U.N. Messenger of Peace and a Dame of the British Empire, among dozens of other titles, and holds honorary degrees from at least 40 universities. As her curriculum vitae can attest, she doesn't have much left to prove.
But even at 80, Goodall is still far from finished. Just this week, she's attending a birthday gala in San Francisco to raise money for orphaned chimps, promoting her latest book, "Seeds of Hope," and helping promote "Bears," a new movie from Disneynature. "Oh, it's awful," she says, laughing, in an interview with MNN this week. "It's just a tough week. It's the three Bs: birthday, book and bears."
It has also been a tough 12 months for Goodall, who planned to release "Seeds of Hope" in April 2013 before the Washington Post found passages that were apparently taken from other sources without attribution. Goodall was quick to apologize, saying she was "distressed" by the discovery. She has since explained that "chaotic note-taking" led to the lapses, telling the magazine Mosaic "I am not methodical enough, I guess. In some cases, you look at my notebooks, there's no way you can tell whether this is from talking to somebody or whether it was something I read on the Internet."
"Seeds of Hope" was nonetheless shelved by the publisher before its 2013 release. Goodall has spent months revising and adding to the book — a both personal and big-picture opus on the plant kingdom, inspired by her already-extensive work on animals — and it was released this week by the same publisher. I spoke with Goodall by phone Tuesday from her hotel in San Francisco, covering her new book and a wide range of other topics. Here are some highlights from our conversation:
In "Seeds of Hope," it sounds like you've had a lifelong fascination with plants?
I just grew up loving plants, animals, nature. All of it. Those [childhood] drawings and paintings in my book, that wasn't schoolwork. I just loved doing it. Watching bugs and leaves, buds breaking open in the spring. I don't know, I was just born that way I think. I think a lot of children are like that, then they sort of get swept away form that early love, they're kept out of nature.
What interests you about plants?
I suppose the extraordinary variety and adaptations and the way, if you just take the orchids, the different ways they have evolved all these different ways of pollination. I just find all that fascinating. This strange plant in Africa that's had the same rootstock for 2,000 years. So many different forms have evolved in so many different climates and ecosystems, and that I find really fascinating.
You write in the book that "the peace of the forest has become part of my being." Do you think the world would be more peaceful if everyone spent more time in forests?
Yes, and not just forests. There is tremendous peace being up in the Alps, in alpine meadows, or the middle of the Serengeti. It doesn't have to be the forest. I find peace in all of these wild places. I've never been attracted by the desert, but when I'm in the desert, there is so much to marvel at.
Do people need to actually live or work in a forest to appreciate it, like you did in Gombe? Or can a more abstract appreciation be enough?
No, I think you've got to be there. You've got to feel it and be a part of it. You've got to feel what you're walking on or lying on, smell it. You can see it on TV, but you can't be part of it unless you're there.
Why do you think some people don't respect trees or forests?
I think it has different causes. One would be extreme poverty: You destroy the forest because you're poor, you're desperate to feed your family and the rest of the land is not fertile anymore. But then you also get the Western materialistic lifestyle, where money is almost worshipped in itself. This constant seeking and scrabbling to get bigger and bigger. But how much bigger can you get?
What changes are needed to stop deforestation around the world?
Just think about the consequences of deforestation. We know how it's linked to the release of CO2 into the atmosphere. And the U.N. says climate change is now affecting every corner of the planet. People are struggling with it. The growing middle class around the world is eating more and more meat, which means more animals must be raised and more forest must be cut down to feed the poor things.
So the idea of trying to give a tree a value, so it's more valuable standing than cut down, would be a very good way of moving forward. If governments could make slightly more money by keeping trees standing than by selling timber rights, that's what we need.
What gives you the most hope for saving wildlife habitats?
Two things: One is the youth. Roots & Shoots is now in 136 countries. We reckon there are at least 150,000 active groups, and it's growing all the time. There is more and more interest. We're talking now about partnering with the Boy Scouts, and we partner with many other youth groups. We've started in Iran, Abu Dhabi, and we have 900 groups across China. In Chinese culture, in Confucianism, there are deep roots to nature. Many cultures have this deep respect for nature in the beginning, and so by helping children understand where they came from, that could be helpful.
And the other thing is the extraordinary resilience of nature. Plants are the ones who can bring life back to a dead ecosystem. We've seen it with our own eyes around Gombe.
"Seeds of Hope" was originally going to be released last April, but it was delayed ...
Right, I was accused of plagiarism! Which was a real shock for me. There were a few lines that were taken from websites. But that is fixed now. I think if you look at the chapter at the end of the book called "Gratitude," you'll see that I've tried to acknowledge everyone who has helped me in any way.
I just didn't realize that these things can be plagiarism. In hindsight, I think I'm glad because the book is much better now. I've been able to take time and improve it, but also some new things have come to light that I was able to add in. It was a shock at the time and I thought "Crikey, plagiarism? That sounds awful." It particularly shocked me because I always try so hard to acknowledge everybody, whether in a lecture or a book or whatever it is. But I'm wiser now.
If the book inspires someone to help or learn about wild plants, what would you suggest?
First of all, just look around more. Don't walk past the tree, look at the tree. Look at the leaves. See how little pieces of plants and grass have pushed up in the most unlikely places, the tenacity of life.
And if they have means to bring native species into their gardens, to help wildlife, more and more people are doing that. And use their voice to say please don't cut down that tree. Find a way not to. People's voices get together and they can make a difference.
Do you have plans yet for your next book?
[Laughs] I'm having a sabbatical. I've been writing a book on deadline, I think, for the past 13 years now. It's all I can do now to keep up with the things coming in from all over the world. The demands are huge. I care about too many issues, that's the trouble.
What project are you most excited about right now?
Roots & Shoots, without question. That covers everything. I can't go devote an awful lot of time to protecting rhinos, for example, but through our Roots & Shoots program we educate the kids and they can work on solutions to it. That's the program I feel like I can accomplish the most through.

China adopts HD DVD
Originally Posted by

Sony certainly has reason to be concerned about price pressure.
The price cut announcement came in the same week that the Steering Committee of the DVD Forum, on which Sony sits, gave formal approval to specifications for a "China-only" version of the HD DVD format.
It also approved the licensing of the basic DVD specs for incorporation into the China-only HD DVD formats, pending the formation of an appropriate licensing entity.
THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT difference between the China-only HD DVD and the version used in the rest of the world is the codec used to encode content.
In the rest of the world, HD DVD supports VC-1, H.264 and MPEG2. The China-only version supports only the Chinese-developed Advanced Video System (AVS).
In nearly every other respect, including the physical specifications of the disc, the interactive layer and the optics, the two versions are identical.
The purpose of the China-only version is to spare Chinese manufacturers the licensing fees associated with the global codecs on decks sold in China and to help propel China into the ranks of technology developers, rather than simply manufacturers.
But manufacturing HD DVD players they will be. And once those production lines are up and running, swapping out the codecs for their outside OEM clients is no big deal.
In other words, HD DVD just secured the inside track on a potentially vast new market. The economies of scale that could result from China's embrace of HD DVD is likely to have significant impact on retail prices in every market that sources its electronics from China—that is, the rest of the world.
HD DVD players mass-made in China can be modified to work in the US by swapping one single decoder chip. And if you look in any electronics store, most of the electronics are made in China. Heck, my $5000 of high end Parasound gear are made in China.
Bring on the $200 HD DVD players
We're all in it together.

Reliant may get face lift for Super Bowl LI bid
OCT 24, 2012 11:50a ET
That was the takeaway from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's visit to Houston on Tuesday. Goodell spoke to civic leaders in the city about the possibility of Houston hosting Super Bowl 51 (LI) in 2017, and he said Reliant Stadium would need some minor upgrades.
"You have an outstanding stadium," Goodell said, according to KHOU-11 TV in Houston. "I know people are looking at how we can improve that stadium, not just for Texans fans but fans that would come to the Super Bowl."
One of those improvements would be to the scoreboards, Texans owner Bob McNair said. The existing scoreboards in the 10-year-old stadium would be replaced by digital ones, which would cost between $10 million and $30 million. Just who would be paying for that is unclear. Reliant Stadium is not owned by the Texans, but by Harris County.
"I think what we have to do is look at all of our venues and assets and make sure everything is up to snuff," McNair told KHOU.
Houston, which is competing with Miami and San Francisco, hosted Super Bowl 38 (XXXVIII) in 2004, when the New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers 32-29. The city was widely criticized for its gridlock and sprawl.
Houston's METROrail, a single-line train that runs north-south from approximately downtown to the South Loop, passing through Reliant Park, opened a month before that Super Bowl, but did little to relieve the gridlock of a Super Bowl weekend.
Construction has begun on three new lines, which are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015.
Logistics aside, Goodell said Houston was a fine host.
"At the end of the day, it comes back to passion for football and love of football, and you have that for sure," he said.

Guglielmo Marconi
Apr. 25, 1874
Provincia di Bologna
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Jul. 20, 1937
Provincia di Roma
Lazio, Italy
Italian Inventor, Physicist, Nobel Prize Winner. He is remembered for his pioneering work on long distance radio transmission and for his development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. He is often credited as the inventor of radio, and he shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun. Born Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi, his father was an Italian aristocrat and his mother was of Irish/Scottish descent. He was educated privately in Bologna in the lab of physicist Augusto Righi, in Florence at the Istituto Cavallero and in England, spending two years at Bedford School, Bedford, Bedfordshire, England. During his early years, he had a keen interest in science and electricity and at the age of 20, he began his first experiments, building much of his own equipment in the attic of his home at the Villa Griffone in Pontecchio, Italy. In the summer of 1894, he built a storm alarm made up of a battery, a coherer, and an electric bell, which went off if there was lightning. Soon after he was able to make a bell ring on the other side of the room by pushing a telegraphic button on a bench. The following year, he moved his experimentation outdoors and soon he was able to transmit signals over a hill, a distance of approximately one and a half miles. Believing his device would have commercial and military value, he e to the Italian Ministry of Post and Telegraphs to requesting additional funding, but was turned down. In 1896, at the advice of a family friend, took his apparatus to England where he was introduced to William Preece, Engineer-in-Chief of the Post Office, and later that year was granted the world's first patent for a system of wireless telegraphy. He demonstrated his system successfully in London, on Salisbury Plain and across the Bristol Channel, and in July 1897 formed The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company Limited (renamed Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company Limited in 1900). In the same year he gave a demonstration to the Italian Government at Spezia where wireless signals were sent over a distance of twelve miles. In 1899 he established wireless communication between France and England across the English Channel. He erected permanent wireless stations in England, at The Needles, Isle of Wight, at Bournemouth, and later at the Haven Hotel, Poole, Dorset. In 1902, during a voyage in the American liner SS Philadelphia, he first demonstrated "daylight effect" relative to wireless communication and in the same year patented his magnetic detector which then became the standard wireless receiver for many years. In December of that year, he transmitted the first complete messages to Poldhu, Cornwall, England from stations at Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, and later Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with these early tests culminating in 1907 in the opening of the first transatlantic commercial service between Glace Bay and Clifden, Ireland, after the first shorter-distance public service of wireless telegraphy had been established between Bari in Italy and Avidari in Montenegro. In 1909 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with German physicist Karl Ferdinand Braun for his contributions to radio communications. In 1914 he was made a senator in the Italian Senate and was appointed Honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order in England. The same year, he was commissioned in the Italian Army as a lieutenant, later promoted to the rank of captain, and in 1916 transferred to the Italian Navy in the rank of commander. He was a member of the Italian Government mission to the US in 1917 and in 1919 was appointed Italian plenipotentiary delegate to the Paris Peace Conference. In 1919 he was awarded the Italian Military Medal in recognition of his war service. In 1923 he joined the Italian Fascist party and in 1929 he was given the title of marquess by Italian King Victor Emmanuel III. In 1930, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini appointed him President of the Royal Academy of Italy, which made Marconi a member of the Fascist Grand Council. He died at the age of 63, following a series of heart attacks. In 1977 he was inducted into the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame and In 1988, the Radio Hall of Fame (Museum of Broadcast Communications, Chicago) inducted him as a Pioneer. The National Association of Broadcasters (US) bestows the annual Marconi Radio Awards also for outstanding radio programs and stations. A statue of him stands in Church Square Park in Hoboken, New Jersey and a bronze memorial sculpture devoted to him was erected in Washington DC in 1940. A granite obelisk stands on the clifftop at Poldhu, Cornwall near the site of his radio station, commemorating the first transatlantic transmission. There are numerous places and organizations named after him throughout the world.

See what questions
a doctor would ask.
The list of types of Headache mentioned in various sources includes:
When a person has a headache, several areas of the head can hurt, including a network of nerves that extends over the scalp and certain nerves in the face, mouth, and throat. The muscles of the head and the blood vessels found along the surface and at the base of the brain are also sensitive to pain because they contain delicate nerve fibers. The bones of the skull and tissues of the brain itself never hurt because they lack pain-sensitive nerve fibers. The ends of these pain-sensitive nerves, called nociceptors, can be stimulated by stress, muscular tension, dilated blood vessels, and others triggers of headache. Vascular headaches (migraines are a kind of vascular headache) are thought to involve abnormal function of the brain's blood vessels or vascular system; muscle contraction headaches appear to involve the tightening or tensing of facial and neck muscles; and traction and inflammatory headaches are symptoms of other disorders, ranging from brain tumor to stroke to sinus infection. Some types of headache are signals of more serious disorders: sudden, severe headache; headache associated with convulsions; headache accompanied by confusion or loss of consciousness; headache following a blow on the head; headache associated with pain in the eye or ear; persistent headache in a person who was previously headache free; recurring headache in children; headache associated with fever; headache that interferes with normal life. (Source: excerpt from NINDS Headache Information Page: NINDS)

News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 4, 2006
Doctor Sentenced to 15 Years in Federal Prison Health Care Provider Found Guilty of Dispensing Oxycontin without a Legitimate Medical Purpose
DEA Chicago Special Agent in Charge Gary Olenkiewicz announced that Dr. David Demaret Chube II was sentenced in the Northern District of Indiana to fifteen years and 8 months in a federal prison for violating the Controlled Substances Act. The sentence is the result of his conviction May 1, 2006, on a six count indictment charging Chube with four counts of dispensing controlled substances (oxycotin) without a legitimate medical purpose in violation of Title 21 USC Section 841 (A)(1); and two counts for health care fraud in violation of Title 18, USC Sections 1347 and 2. Chube is also facing a $60,000 fine to be paid directly to the District Court. His brother and business partner, Dr. Charles Randall Chube, was also sentenced for dispensing controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose.
"This sentencing sends a message to the medical community that they are not untouchable when they prescribe narcotics for no legitimate reason," Olenkiewicz said. This investigation was successful due to the combined efforts between the DEA, FBI, FDA, and the Indiana Attorney General's Medical Fraud Control Unit. We will continue to work with our partners in the law enforcement community to keep rogue doctors from harming our citizens."
The investigation involved the doctors selling oxycotin to patients from southwest Michigan and Indiana who then distributed it in the Gary, Indiana area. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney's office in Hammond, Indiana.

Tools & Resources
"Fantastic Operating System"
I am a Windows XP fan, but switching to Window 7 Home Premium Upgrade was one of the best choices I had when it comes to switching my operating system. What I like the most in this upgrade is the snipping tool. I usually depend on the Print Screen tool when it comes to copying web pages in the internet. I also loved the improved audio and video functions, and of course, the exceptionally cool new wall paper designs that allow me to personalize my PC the way I want too.
The challenge in this new program is not due to the program itself but its user. Since I am a former Window XP user and was using it for almost 5 years or more, changing to a more techie operating system somehow gave me a hard time adjusting to the new operating system format. Nonetheless, upgrading in this OS system was a very good decision.
"Quick starting operating system"
One of the quickest startups I have ever used, nice gadgets to add to your desktops and themes to personalize your computer. Great for entertainment and everyday use.
Dont see any weakness to this wonderful operating system.
I prefer this operating system over Windows XP with I had before with my Toshiba computer, now I have a Acer and the Windows 7 operating system is good for school and entertainment. -
"Loved the program"
Installed on Mac Parallels very easily.
Working great so for.
Easy to use and navigate.
A bit to many help boxes pop up before going to the area you want to use.
Love the program and especially the service from Softwaremedia.com. Before sell, after sell, and even the 1 return which was my fault went very smooth. -
"Great deal, fast shipping, best OS"
best OS - was ready to go Apple and give up on MS
good for just 1 computer use
I like it -
"Big improvement to Vista!"
Faster and not as intrusive
Few driver issues
Could be less resource intensive
big improvement in terms of utility and overall looks -
"much easier to work with"
Easy to install and work with. Seems more secure than previous versions.
I'm not aware of any so far.
"Great OS"
Ease of setup, everything works. Stable, fast, no problems.
doesn't remember window size too well..... need 3rd party software to manage
I was skeptical about upgrading, but now, I would not go back to XP (even though it was good), for anything. I didn't use Vista, but I heard too many bad things about it. -
"An amazing operating system"
Great short cuts, easy access to my entire computer, great wallpaper designs, and improved audio/video functions.
Nothing that I can find so far
awesome improvement from the prior version. -
"Newest windows desktop OS"
Install was simple. No hitches or problems with updates either. Am running as a virtual machine in a new Mac Pro using VMWare Fusion v3.1 and seems quite stable. Like the new print dialog on the side of the document. Interface seems a bit more simple than XP.
Seems like 64 bit programs (like I.E.) should be the default and not have 2 different versions showing up on the app list. Seems fluid but just a little sluggish (could be the fact it's running virtual).
Purchased to run with VMWare Fusion

HOY en Delaware LLC
Dept. of Interior, DNREC initiate process for first lease of commercial wind power for offshore Delaware "No competitive interest" determination made for area proposed by Bluewater Wind Delaware, LLC
Lewes, DE – U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) Michael R. Bromwich today announced that the Department is initiating the process to offer the first commercial wind lease under the "Smart from the Start" Atlantic Offshore Wind program, off the coast of Delaware. The decision follows a determination that there is no competitive interest for commercial wind energy development in this area of the Outer Continental Shelf, precluding the need for competitive bidding. |

If we here at Samsung Tomorrow had to rank some of our favorite things, of course technology would be at the top of the list. But what's next? Many of us ranked "fashion" or "shopping" highly, so it was super-cool to find out about what our colleagues over at Samsung Electronics Netherlands are doing.
They have partnered with a local fashion retailer in order to innovatively introduce a new technology to the target audience of hip and trendy shoppers. Members of this retail dream team are Samsung Netherlands, retailer "Jeans Online" and creative agency "SALES window." Together, their collective goal is to introduce "smart shopping" through the use of Samsung's TecTiles, as well as the Near Field Communication (NFC) functions of Samsung smartphones.
NFC is a contactless data communication between a small chip and a smartphone. Samsung TecTiles are small stickers that contain reusable NFC chips that can be programmed by users so your smartphone can do all sorts of wonderful and useful things automatically. But, as our team in the Netherlands shows, TecTiles can also be used for innovative retail marketing.
All users who own a Samsung smartphone with NFC (GALAXY S III and GALAXY Note II) had access to exclusive deals at Jeans Online, the biggest online jeans store in The Netherlands with pop-up stores selling the most fashionable and exclusive brands such as Levi's, Replay, Nudie Jeans, Hilfiger Denim and Diesel.
How did the promotion work? Simple. Kalverstraat – the most popular shopping street in the capital city Amsterdam – is always bustling with activity. For the promotion, Creative Agency "SALES window" designed the Samsung TecTile sticker, which was affixed to the Jeans Online store window. All shoppers had to do was scan the TecTile and they would receive a digital voucher available for immediate use. With this voucher, the customer could receive a second item for free! And the deals didn't even stop there. The customer could also win a voucher of € 100 by logging into Facebook using the TecTiles NFC chips in the store to upload a picture of their purchase. So, shopping + social media = big savings? Sounds like a great equation to us!
The promotion proved to be very successful. Not only did the awareness for NFC and Samsung TecTiles rise among the public, but our retail partner, Jeans Online, had a rise of 14% in its store traffic and a rise of 9% in its sales during this super promotion! Thus, everybody won: customers went home with an extra item, our retail partner was happy with the increase in its store traffic and turnover and we got the satisfaction of making everybody happy while raising awareness for our NFC smartphones and for Samsung TecTile. Win + Win = Win!
Here is the video for you to check how shoppers bought clothes using TecTiles.

Rating:Debra is amazing! I moved to humid Florida from Denver, which has a very dry climate, and my curly hair freaked out. With a great dry cut from Debra my hair has finally learned how to be beautiful in this much humidity. As any of you with curly hair knows, when it's good, it's really good, but when it's bad, goodness, it's bad. Mine was bad and Debra saved my life with her hair cutting skills and her calm, reassuring advice. She was/is a true godsend!

Loc: New York City I just wrote a line of dialogue consisting of the single word "out." Since this is the only word uttered in the scene (making it a monologue, I suppose) I parked on it a minute. And then, I wondered. If I were to write the word phonetically (and, I admit to having an odd accent), I might write 'aut' (short 'a'). Which brings me to my question. To the extent that standard spellings represent pronunciation at all, do they reflect the current pronunciation of words at the time and place they were set, or standardizations of received spellings? I understand, for example (as I believe we once discussed) that (Amer.) Revolutionary War manuscripts contain good information on the pronunciation of Elizabethan English.

Loc: California Well, I'd heard the Elizabethan English still spoken in the Appalachian mountains factoid, but not the Revolutionary War one. I don't buy either. Orthography is just one dangerous swamp into which I try not to go. That having been said: our spelling totters between the phonological and the etymological. Spelling influences pronunciation and vice versa. What bothers you about out? Is it the 'u'? Stressed vowels becoming diphthongs is pretty normal in language change.

Loc: New York City <<What bothers you about 'out'?
Well, "bothers" is a bit strong. The spoken dipthong is 'a' (as in, yes, 'an') and 'u' as in 'blue'. But if I were just coming ashore, I'd read it like a Dutchman 'oh-u-t' -- or, pretty close to 'oat'.

Loc: California Ah, but you're not a Dutchman. How do you feel about the 'o' in one? OTOH, ounce, our, and oust all go with with the {#ou} to /Aw/ mapping. There's really no rhyme or reason to English spelling—pausing to don asbestos suit—just a lot of post hoc rationalization.

Healthy Blog REVIEW...What did you change and are you still going?

Sunday, March 10, 2013
Hi Sparkbuddies and Teddy Bears and fellow 5% Challengers!!
REMEMBER: "If something is really important to you than you will find a way
if it is not you will find an excuse!!"
You always have a choice!!!
I am here reviewing what we did last week on our challenge team...make a commitment to change something or commit to a goal that would improve our health, blog about it for a week with the goal of impacting both our own health and those of our team mates for the better!!
I chose to add in some change to my exercise, decrease the fat and increase the fiber in my diet all with the ultimate goal of making these changes permanent in my lifestyle. After 7 days of doing these I have added them to my spark goals and am realized that ongoing change requires me to remember them each day and to keep them as a priority. Writing them in my goals and having to look at them and check them off each day is what works for me!!
So I was wondering...
What goal did you commit to last week?
What changes have you made in your life?
Were you successful in the change?
Are they valuable enough to make them life style changes?
How will you sustain them for the long run?
Would love to hear from any of you have made a change and how you make/made this change for the long run and part of your life style??
Thanks ahead of time for sharing!!
Hugs Barb

Oh, how very true this is, "If something is really important to you than you will find a way
if it is not you will find an excuse!!" The biggest change I made was in the level of activity within the SparkChallenge while playing host and travel/tour guide to my company. Lots of great fitness minutes, photos, and memories. I'm feel a big relief in the break provided in not blogging and feeling responsible to the feedback -- this has always been more concentrated effort for those of us who live a little more on the private side, yet expect to put forth a quaity effort. You've been an exceptional trooper in this process. Praise God for all the great wealth of activity this team brings forth. Hug- hug -- Evelyn

I committed to meal planning and did pretty good. Even on the day that I forgot about an appointment I still managed to eat well even if it was a little off plan. So, I suppose I had a pretty successful week! It's definitely got me in the right mind set for continuing to plan and think about what I eat.
Way to go on adding the variety to your workouts!

You opened with one of my favorite quotes! We all need to take responsibility for our choices, owning that most everything IS a choice! I'm so happy to hear that your habits are coming along well and that you are still committed to them. I have been making some progress in my dancing habit, staying focused on it is very important. It will take much more than a week to make it a habit I don't have to think so much about, but the end result will be worth it!
Report Inappropriate Comment
I committed to exercising at least 10 minutes every day. Only missed one day so far and I found there is really no excuse to not get at least 10 minutes. I've been sick the past 3 days and still managing to get in some gentle movement.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I've recommitted to working out more consistently. So far I'm doing good, giving myself 2 rest days in the week (Monday and Friday). I also found out in the process that you have to find balance between your fitness and nutrition, else you could hurt yourself in the long run.
You are doing great!
Report Inappropriate Comment
I've recommitted to the habit of eating 5-8 servings of freggies (also as many different kinds daily) daily. I was good for the first 4 months and then I slowly started backsliding.
As you know 1200 - 1550 calories per day doesn't leave alot of room and dense calorie food doesn't leave you satisfied as long as volume style eating does.
Freggies taste good, it's just not ever going to be my first go to choice. But I'm learning to eat for health, not necessarily pleasure or medicating purposes.
Have a great day!

Appearing before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee this month, Solicitor General Elena Kagan presents a candidate as polished as can be: former Harvard law dean, highly regarded professor, a clerk for Justice Thurgood Marshall—a top-tier resumé showing a talent for consensus-building. Since she criticized the confirmation process in a 1995 law review article as "a vapid and hollow charade," we asked several experts what questions could be posed to Kagan to invigorate the process.
You've written that nominees should have to answer questions about "her views on particular constitutional issues." Do you believe that Kelo v. City of New London was rightly decided by the court?

When i go into my photo gallery and turn the phone horizontal the photo does not rotate. I have to click on the rotate icon in the top right hand corner. It works in Youtube and on webpages but not photos. Tired calibrating still same problem. Screen rotation option is defanilty on. Any ideas
I have the same problem OP. It was working fine but this morning it stopped rotating in gallery when I tilt the phone. Tilt still works when taking a picture and everywhere else. If I manually rotate the image it fills the screen but scrolling is then top to bottom and I have to manually do it for each image, plus when transferring to desktop images are sideways. Update* I fixed it. I had screen rotation turned on in the deep settings menu, but that quick bar settings you see when you swipe down, rotation was turned off there. The funny thing is that rotation still worked in most places, just not in gallery and web browser.
It turns out that with the Australian version S4 this feature has been turned off intentionally because of the Apple law suit. I have checked with 3 others of my friends and all the same, cannot rotate picture gallery but everywhere else you can. Also for those interested the Australian version does not allow you to move the home icons at the bottom of the Page they are locked . I have installed a launcher to overcome this.
Also if you are using the app profile scheduler you need to go into each profile and make sure "auto rotation" is set to on.
My S4 auto rotation works only for 3-4 hours every time i RESTART the phone.Tried every thing to fix it..but..same problem.... Is it hardware problem? Any solutions?
