History Biographies of Justices Maps of Judicial Districts FAQ About the Court
When the Supreme Court of Louisiana granted writs in the case of Chittenden v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., et al., 2000-0414, (La. 6/16/00), 763 So.2d 610, the Court noted in a footnote that "[a] committee is to be appointed to study the revision of Rule 1.8(e) of the Rules of Professional Conduct, regarding financial assistance to a client." After the Court rendered judgment in Chittenden, 2000-0414 (La. 5/15/01), 788 So.2d 1140, the Court appointed a Committee "to study and make recommendations concerning possible amendments to the Rules of Professional Conduct concerning financial assistance to clients." The Supreme Court Committee to Study Financial Assistance to Clients consists of the following members:
Justice Catherine D. Kimball, Chair Justice Jeannette T. Knoll Kim M. Boyle Richard C. Broussard John W. deGravelles Elizabeth Erny Foote E. Phelps Gay T. Haller Jackson, III Lawrence S. Kullman J. Burton LeBlanc, IV Christine Lipsey Frank L. Maraist Jacques A. Massey Charles B. Plattsmier Gary L. Ryan Dominick Scandurro, Jr. Richard C. Stanley Phillip A. Wittmann
The Committee completed its work and submitted its proposed rule changes to the Court. The Committee has recommended that the Supreme Court retain the humanitarian rule originally enunciated in the case of LSBA v. Edwins, 329 So.2d 437 (La. 1976), which allows lawyers to provide limited financial assistance to clients in necessitous circumstances. The Committee proposal places a number of parameters and restraints on such assistance. The Court has decided to place the proposed rule changes on its website in order to allow interested persons to comment. Persons interested in commenting on the Final Recommendations of the Supreme Court Committee to Study Financial Assistance to Clients may forward written comments to:
Tim Averill Deputy Judicial Administrator/General Counsel Office of the Judicial Administrator Supreme Court of Louisiana 1555 Poydras St., Suite 1540 New Orleans, LA 70112-3701
or via e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com Comments should be forwarded no later than Tuesday, January 21, 2003. Please be advised that any comments which are forwarded constitute matters of public record and are subject to public inspection. PROPOSED RULE CHANGE Rule 1.4(c) {New} "A lawyer who provides any form of financial assistance to a client during the course of a representation shall, prior to providing such financial assistance, inform the client in writing of the terms and conditions under which such financial assistance is made, including but not limited to, repayment obligations, the imposition and rate of interest or other charges, and the scope and limitations imposed upon lawyers providing financial assistance as set forth in Rule 1.8(e)." PROPOSED RULE CHANGE Rule 1.5(c) {Amended} "... A contingent fee agreement shall be in writing. A copy or duplicate original of the executed agreement shall be given to the client at the time of execution of the agreement. The contingency fee agreement shall state the method by which the fee is to be determined, including the percentage or percentages that shall accrue to the lawyer in the event of settlement, trial or appeal litigation and other expenses to be deducted from the recovery, and whether such expenses are to be deducted before or after the contingent fee is calculated." PROPOSED RULE CHANGE Rule 1.8(e)(1) {Amended} "A lawyer may advance court costs and expenses of litigation, the repayment of which may be contingent on the outcome of the matter, provided that the expenses were reasonably incurred. Court costs and expenses of litigation include, but are not necessarily limited to, filing fees; deposition costs; expert witness fees; transcript costs; witness fees; copy costs; photographic, electronic, or digital evidence production; investigation fees; related travel expenses; litigation related medical expenses; and any other case specific expenses directly related to the representation undertaken. An advance of court costs or litigation expenses by the lawyer from the funds of the lawyer shall not bear interest, fees or charges of any nature. Where the lawyer obtains or facilitates a loan, the proceeds of which are to be used to advance court costs or litigation expenses, no interest or fees incurred on such loans may be passed on to the client unless: a) the client consents in writing, and b) the interest charged together with fees does not exceed the lesser of the actual costs of borrowing or the maximum interest rate permitted by these rules. Nothing in this rule shall require client consent in those matters after a court has certified a class under applicable state or federal law; provided, however, that the court must have accepted and exercised responsibility for making the determination that interest and fees are owed, and that the amount of interest and fees chargeable to the client is fair and reasonable considering the facts and circumstances presented." PROPOSED RULE CHANGES Rule 1.8(e)(2) {New} "Overhead costs of a lawyer's practice which are those not incurred by the lawyer solely for the purposes of a particular representation, shall not be passed on to a client. Overhead costs include, but are not necessarily limited to, office rent, utility costs, ordinary postage charges, charges for local telephone service, office supplies, fixed asset expenses and ordinary secretarial and staff services. With the informed consent of the client, the lawyer may charge as recoverable costs such items as computer legal research charges, long distance telephone expenses, and outside courier service charges, incurred solely for the purposes of the representation undertaken for that client, provided they are charged at the lawyer's actual, invoiced costs for these expenses. Paralegal services shall be considered as professional services and not an overhead cost." PROPOSED RULE CHANGE Rule 1.8(e)(3) {New} "In addition to costs of court and expenses of litigation, a lawyer may provide financial assistance to a client who is in necessitous circumstances, subject however to the following restrictions:
(i) Upon reasonable inquiry, the lawyer must determine that the client's necessitous circumstances, without minimal financial assistance, would adversely affect the client's ability to initiate and/or maintain the cause for which the lawyer's services were engaged. (ii) The advance or loan guarantee, or the offer thereof, shall not be used as an inducement by the lawyer, or anyone acting on the lawyer's behalf, to securing employment. (iii) Neither the lawyer nor anyone acting on the lawyer's behalf may offer to make advances or loan guarantees prior to being hired by a client, and the lawyer shall not publicize nor advertise a willingness to make advances or loan guarantees to clients. (iv) Financial assistance under this rule may provide but shall not exceed that minimum sum necessary to meet the client's, the client's spouse's, and/or dependents' documented obligations for food, shelter, utilities, insurance, non-litigation related medical care and treatment, transportation, education, or other documented expenses necessary for subsistence. (v) Any financial assistance provided directly from the funds of the lawyer to a client shall not bear interest, fees or charges of any nature. (vi) Financial assistance provided by a lawyer to a client may be made using loans obtained from financial institutions in which the lawyer has no ownership, control and/or security interest; provided, however, that this prohibition shall not apply to publicly traded financial institutions where the lawyer's ownership, control and/or security interest is less than 10%. Where the lawyer uses such loans to provide financial assistance to a client, the interest charges together with any fees or other charges attendant to such loans shall not exceed the actual charge by the third party lender or three percentage points above the prime rate of interest as reported by the Federal Reserve Board on January 15th of each year in which the loan is outstanding, whichever is less. The total of interest, fees, and charges, that exceeds the maximum permitted under these rules shall be borne solely by the lawyer, and shall not be passed on to the client. The lawyer may not guarantee or provide security for a loan in favor of a client where the loan provisions obligate or may obligate the client for interest, fees, and charges, which, when totaled, would exceed the maximum interest provided by these rules. (vii) Any portion of financial assistance provided by a lawyer to a client which is in excess of the sums allowed by these rules shall not be recoverable from the client by the lawyer. (viii) In every instance where the client has been provided financial assistance by the lawyer, the full text of this rule shall be provided to the client at the time of execution of any settlement documents, approval of any disbursement sheet as provided for in Rule 1.5, or upon submission of a bill for the lawyers services."

Critics have been pretty tough on Justin Bieber in recent months causing him to physically lash out and use Twitter as a way to broadcast his feelings. And while it's no secret that the 19-year-old singer hasn't been having a good year, it is a mystery as to why he lets the littlest criticism get him down and why he turns to such a popular social media platform to fight back even though it may mean more negative press. Justin opened up to Teen Vogue about his urges to post things on Twitter, which you can watch in the video up top!
How else do you think Justin should deal with hateful comments? Tweet us @OKMagazine and share your advice in the comments below!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano told the media Monday that Darrelle Revis had a scheduled day off from practice Monday but he was in the building working out.
"He went four in a row, he wasn't off. He was inside doing strengthening," Schiano said about Revis.
With the Bucs off on Tuesday, today's break makes sense for Revis.

If you would take some time to read the following and help me that would be grand ;)! With the passing of what I call LoL age(past five-six monts), I have come to experience strange emptyness in what to play. Ideally it would be Warhammer MMO(NOT WAR!!!) where I could log on and do whatever and feel just fine. Why no WAR you ask? Well it has to do with the way EA has been treating Warhammer IP lately. I am looking for games,MMOs, even mods that accomplish most of the following -Based on strong IP(made up IPs can work if they are like GW and not like Warcraft where it is shameless ripoff) -Roleplay friendly(even better if it is MMO with strong RP aspects) -Realistic Graphics(Stylized gfx can pass too, but NO ANIME!!!!!) -PvE focused but with a dressing of PvP(so the ideal split would be 75/25%)-only for MMOs!!! -Alt char friendly(i.e. not so much mandatory grinds)-ie replayable -Standard combat is fine(both for MMOs and other games) -I HIGHLY dislike mindless fighting/zerging/shooting/cheap strategies -COOPERATIVE rather than COMPETITIVE(for MMOs) -Warhammer Fantasy(40k is good too) if possible(no their ripoffs, they frustrate me greatly) ;) Game types I like are: Strategies(all kinds of), RPG(all kinds of, with the exception of JRPG) List one present game or MMO and one upcoming game or MMO. If talking about game you can even list mods used. Hell you can even recommend mods(Nehrim for example)! Am very interested what the results are going to be ... :) Thank you in advance and Asuryan's blessings! |
I do not want to spam or sth, but 50+ views and not single reply?
I also wanted to add that good Community(be it online in a MMO or on forums otherwise) is definitely a plus. Also, I Like cohesive stories(one of the major elements of Immersion imo). Convoluted systems are a detractor for me. The simpler/better explained, the merrier. |
I hate to be a naysayer, but I don't think there is such an MMORPG that meets your requirements. All MMOs have their advantages and disadvantages. For the most immersive world with the largest amount of lore you'd probably want to look at World of Warcraft, which is somewhat based off Warhammer anyhow. However World of Warcraft has little to no RP elements and the combat can be somewhat mindless, though it becomes tactical later on when a varity of spells are avilible, also some say the graphics are cartoonish. For more realistic graphics vanguard or everquest 2 might be worth a try for you, but combat is more or less then same as WoW, since WoW combat was based on everquest combat. In truth I think what you might be looking for is a table top roleplaying game, it is cooperative, emphasizes roleplaying and originality in characters, ect. There are a few online type sessions for these, but they are usually chat room based with simple map graphics, so no hyper realism. You may instead want to look into your local game shops and see if any of them host table top games. |
Noted. How about single-player Strategy/RPG type games?
Anyone else? |
Originally posted by Gorwe Some of the things you're asking for are vague, and the list taken as a whole doesn't clearly point to any particular game. This is the sort of thread where, if you get any suggestions at all, they're likely to be of the "I'm ignoring what you're asking for and listing my favorite game" variety. |

What would you suggest Quiz(I wanted YOUR opinion ;))?
So, is there really no game that meets my demands?
If so, then call me Ishmael cause that can't be the truth! (can it?) |
Originally posted by Gorwe Fine then. Go play Guild Wars. I don't know if you'll like it, but it's a great game. |
Originally posted by Gorwe You're wanting pie, cake, dingdongs, twinkies and french fries.. it just isn't going to work. |
Perhaps lotro, landroval server
So besides GW 2 I have basically nothing to play. Great!
And yes, a game should have all of those things I listed. Hell, GW 1 had it. Morrowind had it. Baldur's Gate had it. But those games are Legendary. I am SOOO angry/disappointed that today's games are all one trick ponies. Take TERA for example. Remove nice Graphics and targetting reticules and you have your old MMO. A game should be an experience in itself and it HAS to immerse you. I do not care what anyone else thinks, but I loved Space Marine. Such a beautifully done 40k game(and you actually felt as a Space Marine while playing it). Curse WoW/CoD for what they have done to games. I feel as though games of today are lacking something. Luckilly, there is ANet, Relic, CD Projekt, Valve ;) Perhaps they will start making good games again instead of filler trash. Filler trash such as WAR. And now there won't be a Warhammer Fantasy game(let alone MMO) for ages! I mean true Warhammer experience and not Wrath of Heroes something, something. Anyways, I am rambling. Thank You for Your help! Thank You very much ;)! |
I recommend Skyrim, it is really what you are searching for. |
If you didn't like warhammer online PvE, you may not like GW2 either, since its basically an evolution of the war dynamic events. Besides that, GW2 doesn't seem to be coming out this summer, we'll be lucky if it's out by September.
I think the best mmo for you is going to be The Secret World. http://www.thesecretworld.com/gameplay
What I don't Like about War's PvE(I LOVE stories there, Like "The lesser of two Evils") is the fact I have NOBODY to play it with, seeing how xp in WAR = Bad, therefore everyone avoids PvE Like Plague(see what I did there?) It is also filled with PvE haters(wtf it has one of the conceptually best PvEs out there) and its' PvE is riddled with bugs. Otherwise, yes I love WARs PvE. Therefore I will love PvE in GW 2.
If only I had someone to play WAR with(someone who does not care about Renown *shudders*)... |
Originally posted by Gorwe Sounds like you may love Guildwars 2 its current going through close beta events (If you prepurchase From GW2 website you get acess to the events) It has alot of the stuff your looking for and more. |
Originally posted by Gorwe After read ur post there is one game that pops on my mind GW2.... I played the beta and i think u will really like it when it launches. |

Originally posted by Gorwe Some of these may be slightly older titles, but I've found them quite fun. STRATEGY/RTS: -The Homeworld trilogy -Starcraft II -Nexus, The Jupiter Incident -Hegemonia, Legions of Iron RPG: -Dead Island (playing this one currently, mucho fun :) ) -Summoner -Neverwinter Nights -Half-Life 2 All of the above are computer games; if you list what consoles you have I could give some suggestions for those as well. Where's the any key? |

in the rivers. From there they make their way out to the
Great Lakes where they spend the next 2-4 years cruising
around and growing very fast and large.
When they reach full maturity they will ascend the rivers to spawn. This takes place as early as mid- July and will last into mid- October. On the way up to their spawning gravel they take their time to rest in slower pools and runs. They soon find a spot they find suitable to spawn and get on with business.

Ok, I really am clueless on how amps and portable amps work. But I do know that the headphones I would like to improve are the Etymotic ER-6i and UE Super.fi 3's. My source is an Apple iPod 30GB 5.5G. So pretty much I want an amp to improve bass and give the Ety's and the UE's a more "fuller" sound. Also, what about cables and stuff, like what cables do I need, and please list where I can buy these from. Also, I would not like to buy anything off of ebay, or any of the DIY amps, as I am completely clueless on electronics. I just know I like good sound, the only thing I guess I really need is an amp that improves bass? Sorry for being clueless to this.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Rowan Companies.

Physical and Drug Testing: complete physical, x-rays, functional capacity, U/A.

Negotiation was not possible. All levels/positions paid the same per grade.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Rowan Companies (Houston, TX (US)).
Having completed an online application I was contacted within a week or so with an invitation to come for interview. Interview was very informal. It was more of a discussion about the job than competence based interview. Verbal offer was made on the day.
Interview Questions
- No difficult questions asked. Answer Question
Salary and benefits negotiated at interview.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks – interviewed at Rowan Companies (Houston, TX (US)).
I was initally contacted by a Rowan recruiter, via LinkedIn. He provided me with information about an open position and the general job description. After I indicated interest, there was a long period without contact. I assumed that the position had been filled; so I was surprised to get a phone call from the recruiter about 6 weeks after initial contact.
We set up a preliminary phone interview, though it seemed to be a bit of a screening exercise - it was only me and the recruiter on that call. I was asked about my background, we discussed some of the experience listed on my resume, and I was asked about my personal feelings regarding safety culture. At the end of the call, an in-person interview was set up.
This in-person interview was held at the HQ offices in Houston. I was given clear directions on where to go when I arrived.
The gentlemen conductiong the interview were running a little behind schedule, but they put me at ease once the interview began. Several senior members of the engineering group were included in the interview. I was a little surprised to find that at the end of the interview, I was introduced to the VP of the department. He was obviously busy, but stopped to take the time and speak to me for a few minutes.
On the way to the elevator, I was told "[the recruiter] will contact you in the next few days with an offer." It was nice to leave with confirmation that the Rowan people thought the interview had gone as well as i thought it had!Interview Questions
- All of the questions that I was asked were appropriate to the position for which I was interviewing. I wasn't especially surprised by any of the topics that were discussed. I wasn't quizzed on any specific or tricky areas of expertise. Instead, I was asked about my experiences and my expectations about the position, including my willingness to travel. Answer Question
The negotiation phase was reasonable. All contact was through the same recruiter who orginally contacte me. I did not negotiate salary, but other benefits were discussed and negotiated. I was pleased with the outcome, and at the end, felt that both Rowan and I "won" with a fair and reasonable employment offer.

"...there's a certain genius-a literary genius, that is-in the metaphor Harrington constructs. ...Things Come On might be regarded as one long metaphysical poem-a postmodern metaphysical epic, maybe."—Aaron Belz, On the Seawall
An informative account of the social meaning of poetry in the 20th century US.
Since Romanticism, poetry has reigned as the most exalted of literary forms; consequently, as Joseph Harrington argues in this new study, public debates about the nature and function of poetry are really debates about larger cultural and political values. In Poetry and the Public, Harrington sheds new light on changes in the textual form of poems, the critical reception of poems, debates in the popular press about the nature of poetry and the poetic theories of poets. The period 1910-1940 represents a major transition in the social meaning of poetry in the U.S. Harrington focuses on three important factions of the US poetry scene during these years. The first, popularizers, wished to retain the older, popular notion of poetry as a public art, a communal experience shared between writer and readers. The second, high modernists, responded with the well-known notions of the self-sufficient art object and the autonomous artist who held no responsibility to a reading public or public affairs. The third group, poets of the radical labor movement of the 1910s, combined aspects of both popular and modernist poetries in order to intervene in specific historical settings or to interact with specific audiences. Poetry and the Public shows how this more public tendency in poetry evolved into the latter half of the 20th century in forms such as poetry slams and community-based workshops, and how the history of poetry can help us understand the genre's relative absence from histories of American literature.

"While the summertime shuttering of Borders might have given readers a sense that books are in diminuendo, American poets chorused powerfully for one of their best years. Midwesterners showed especially strongly with worthy entries from Rodney Jones, Carl Phillips, Devin Johnston, Joseph Harrington, Tony Trigilio and many others."—James Henderson, St. Louis Times Dispatch
"Poetry and the Public is a welcome addition to a growing but still small body of revisionist studies of 20th century poetics that employ some version of New Historicist and cultural studies methods to make new areas of poetic activity, beyond the received high modernist canon, available for critical scrutiny."—Alan Golding, author of From Outlaw to Classic: Canons in American Poetry
"Poetry and the Public brings poetry and a historically informed American studies into productive dialogue to show that poetry has played as significant a role in shaping national identity and public culture as any other literary or textual art."—Maria Damon, author of The Dark End of the Street

The new guy ran onto the practice field at Halas Hall and began to warm up. By himself. He waited. And remained by himself. "We do everything as a group," Chicago Bears right guard Edwin Williams said. "We don't go anywhere without everybody.
The new guy ran onto the practice field at Halas Hall and began to warm up. By himself. He waited. And remained by himself.
"We do everything as a group," Chicago Bears right guard Edwin Williams said. "We don't go anywhere without everybody.
"That's something I had to adjust to my first week. I'm out on the field and nobody is out there. Where is everybody at? Everybody is in the locker room waiting for me. Oh. They all go out together. That's a good thing."
Williams has been an unexpected good thing for the Bears' embattled offensive line. An undrafted free-agent last year, the former University of Maryland center/guard was signed by his favorite team and started two games for the Washington Redskins as a rookie. But the Redskins cut him August 30. Williams signed with the Bears the next day.
"Being released by the Redskins wasn't my ideal choice," Williams said. "It wasn't easy, especially leaving a team I was a fan of since I was a kid. But when that door closed, I didn't have to wait out in the hall long."
The Bears then cut the 6-foot-3, 317-pound Williams again and re-signed him to their practice squad. The Bears elevated him to their 53-man roster on Sept. 27 for the Green Bay game and then pushed him into the starting lineup last week.
"We've been very impressed," offensive coordinator Mike Martz said. "We don't have backups on this team. We have guys waiting to be starters when the opportunity comes. He took his chance."
Williams started last week in part because Lance Louis was a little banged up. He'll start again after the Bears tripled their season average with 218 yards rushing against Carolina.
"If it ain't broke, you don't fix it," offensive line coach Mike Tice said. "He didn't make any mental errors, so that was nice. He's trying to play physical. He's got a long way to go technique-wise, especially as it pertains to pass protection, but he gets after it pretty good."
Not making mental mistakes is huge on an offensive line in such flux that center Olin Kreutz is expected to be the only Game 1 starter still in the same spot for Game 6 Sunday against Seattle.
"Offensive line play is about playing together," Kreutz said. "But this is the NFL. That's what happens. Guys go down and guys have got to step up."
That's why Chicago's offensive linemen step together wherever they go.
"We feel like brothers out there," Williams said. "It is somewhat tough to mesh.
Everyone has their own different blocking abilities and blocking techniques, but chemistry also works off the field as well. When you know it's somebody you depend on and they depend on you, it feels a lot different than if it was just a co-worker."
Page 2 of 2 - Chicago's newest blocking brother was taken aback to be such a center of attention this week.
"It's good, but that was just my first start," Williams said. "Olin has over 100 starts. Once it gets to that elite level that will be cool. I'm just trying to focus on start No. 2."
If it's anything like his first start, he'll keep starting.
"For a guy to move up the way he has says how he has performed in our eyes," head coach Lovie Smith said. "Every time we've moved him up a bit, we've liked what he's done.
"He's got a future ahead of him."

Ecclestone, who is in his 80s, was not only robbed of jewelry and a Hublot watch worth about $300,000, he was also severely beaten by the muggers.
So naturally, Ecclestone decided to do a newspaper ad for Hublot, using a picture of his bruised face and a caption that reads "See what people will do for a Hublot?"
I'm not sure that I would want to buy a watch that would get my face beaten, but you have to admire Ecclestone for finding a way to have a little fun with a serious situation.

Time To Take Control
by Patrick Hoffman on 05/16/12 at 10:00 AM ET
Comments (0)
This is what the New York Rangers need to do tonight in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Finals series with the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden.
With the Blueshirts coming off a 3-0 victory in Game 1 and the 1-0 series lead, the Rangers should try and do everything they can to take control of this series. Through the first two rounds, it never felt like the Rangers had the series well within their grasp and while this series is in no way easy for the team, they should be able to grab control of this series in a hurry if things go their way.
For starters, Rangers' netminder Henrik Lundqvist is more than just on top of his game. While he did not face as many shots (21) as Devils' Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur (27) did, Lundqvist made the big saves when he had to and was especially good in the second period when he made 10 saves, many of them of the difficult variety.
Secondly, the team has its forechecking game going again. This was evident on the team's first goal by Dan Girardi when Chris Kreider got to the puck first and fed Girardi for the one timer and it was also apparent as the team won many puck battles along the boards.
It should also be mentioned just how good the Rangers' defense has been in their last two games. The team held the Devils to just 21 shots in the game and 4 in the last period on Monday night in Game 1 and in Game 7 on Saturday night against the Washington Capitals in the third period, they held up the likes of Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin, Nicklas Backstrom, Brooks Laich, Marcus Johansson, and Mike Green and gave them very little room to maneuver or shoot the puck.

Rangers' Power Play Comes Through When It Matters Most
by Patrick Hoffman on 05/08/12 at 12:38 AM ET
Comments (0)
The New York Rangers power play for what seems like the first time all year long was a huge factor in their 3-2 overtime victory in Game 5 against the Washington Capitals at Madison Square Garden.
Rangers' defenseman Marc Staal scored a power play goal just 1:35 into overtime to take a 3-2 series lead. For the Rangers, the play was simple as they won the face-off back to the point and Staal just put the puck on net, which is what a team is supposed to do when they have the man advantage.
However, this game looked like it was going to end up a 2-1 Capitals win. However, Capitals' forward Joel Ward took an ill-timed high-sticking double minor with 22 seconds to go on Rangers' forward Carl Hagelin.
The Blueshirts were able to capitalize on the first part of the power play with 6.6 seconds to go when Brad Richards scored off of Callahan's third shot past Braden Holtby to tie the game up. For now at least, this goal will go down as Richards' biggest goal as a Blueshirt.
When overtime started, the team still had over a minute to go on the power play and again, the team was able to come through. If there was ever a time for the team's power play to start clicking, it was this game. On both goals, the team threw plenty of pucks on Holtby, which again, is something that a team is supposed to do on the power play.

Late Penalty Hurts Blueshirts Again in Game 4 Loss to Capitals
by Patrick Hoffman on 05/05/12 at 05:06 PM ET
Comments (0)
Much like it did in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden, a late penalty taken by the New York Rangers turned into the game-winning goal for the Washington Capitals in a 3-2 win in Game 4 at the Verizon Center.
This time, the culprit for the Blueshirts was Carl Hagelin. Hagelin took a two minute slashing penalty and Capitals' defenseman Mike Green took advantage and ripped a slap shot past Rangers' goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.
For the Rangers, this game was a tale of two different teams. On one side, the Rangers' played like a team that would rely on its goaltender Lundqvist to make timely save after timely save as well as a team that had no offense to supply.
On the other side, the Rangers played like a club that was willing to go to the net, get goals from the dirty areas and play disciplined hockey. Unfortunately for the Rangers, neither of these teams prevailed as the series will now head back to the Garden for Game 5 tied at two games apiece.
On the bright side, the team got a great performance from Artem Anisimov. Anisimov, who had been quiet for much of these playoffs, picked-up a goal and an assist and was more than present in this hockey game.

Well Deserved Playoff Berth and What They Need to do to Win
by Patrick Hoffman on 04/10/11 at 03:19 PM ET
Comments (0)
This can definitely be said when it comes to this year's New York Rangers.
It was a roller coaster season for the Blueshirts that featured lots of injuries, some untimely losses as well as some inconsisten play. With that said, however, there was a lot more good than bad from the Rangers this season, which is why there is a possibility that they can make a long run in this year's postseason.
To beat the No. 1 seed Washington Capitals, you have to first look at Rangers' netminder Henrik Lundqvist. It is more than likely that Lundqvist will face a barrage of shot in the first round from the likes of Alexander Ovechkin, Alex Semin, Nicklas Backstrom, Jason Arnott, Mike Knuble, Mike Green, John Carlson and others. Luckily for the Rangers', Henrik was quite good against the Capitals this season in shutting them out twice and winning another.
The team will also need to get timely goal scoring. Guys like Brandon Dubinsky, Marian Gaborik, Vinny Prospal, Artem Anisimov, Derek Stepan, Brian Boyle and even Brandon Prust will have to do everything they can to put the puck in the net.
This is especially true because the team will be without their heart and soul player, Ryan Callahan. Callahan was instrumental on the team's power play, penalty kill and knew how to score when the team needed it the most. Certainly a big piece of the puzzle to replace at such an important time.

Blueshirts Get the Job Done Against the Capitals
by Patrick Hoffman on 01/25/11 at 11:20 AM ET
Comments (0)
When New York Rangers' fans heard that Martin Biron was starting last night against the Washington Capitals, they all thought that head coach John Tortorella was giving the game away and hoping to pick up two points tonight against the Panthers.
As it turns out, they were wrong and the Blueshirts came away with a 2-1 shootout victory, thanks partly to some timely goaltending from Biron and a terrific defensive effort. The defense held the Capitals to just 23 shots and did a solid job of keeping the likes of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green, Mike Knuble and others quiet on their way to another road victory.
Fifty-two minutes into the game, the Rangers were down 1-0 until Marian Gaborik tied it up when a Dan Boyle shot ffrom the top of the circle hit off Capitals' netminder Braden Holtby and then deflected off Gaborik's shoulder and in. It may not have been Gaborik's prettiest goal but it was a goal that the team needed and a goal that will hopefully get Gaborik going offensively on a consistent basis.
In the shootout, the team got two great goals from Mats Zuccarello (4/4 in the shootout this season and in his career) and the eventual game winning goal from Artem Anisimov, his first ever shootout goal, giving the team its second straight shootout victory.

Lundqvist Leads the Blueshirts to 3-1 Series Lead
by Patrick Hoffman on 04/23/09 at 11:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
Its been said by hockey pundits and experts that you need goaltending to win in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Case in point: Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers.
Thanks to Lundqvist's 38 saves last night, the New York Rangers beat the Washington Capitals by a score of 2-1 in Game four to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. He was not only able to stop initial shot attempts, but he was also able to stop rebound attempts and frustrate the likes of Alex Ovechkin (who scored the Caps only goal), Nicklas Backstrom, Alexander Semin and Mike Green.
Through four games in this series, Lundqvist has stopped an incredible 141 of 149 shots, good enough for a 2.00 goals against average, .946 save percentage and one shutout. Simply put, Lundqvist is the main reason why the Blueshirts are one victory away from eliminating the Capitals in the first round.

Keep it Going
by Patrick Hoffman on 04/19/09 at 03:20 PM ET

Many hockey pundits and analysts figured that the Washington Capitals' offense would dominate the New York Rangers in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. However, with two games in the books, the Blueshirts are up 2-0 with the next two games at Madison Square Garden.
Surprised? I'm actually not because I've written before that if the team could shut down the Caps' big guns and get timely goal scoring against the Caps' suspect goaltending, this team would have a chance win.
Through two games, the Rangers have gotten 67 saves (on 70 shots) from their star netminder Henrik Lundqvist, lots of blocked shots by forwards and defensemen alike, and timely goal scoring from their young guys (Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan). For the Rangers, this spells s-u-c-c-e-s-s.

Thoughts Heading Into Game 2
by Patrick Hoffman on 04/17/09 at 02:00 PM ET
Comments (0)
Tomorrow afternoon at the Verizon Center, the New York Rangers look to go up 2-0 in their first round series against the Washington Capitals.
While the Blueshirts were able to pick up a 4-3 victory in Game one on Wednesday night, there are a few things that the team will most likely look to improve upon:
- Limiting Alex Ovechkin. In Game one, Ovechkin fired 13 shots at Rangers' netminder Henrik Lundqvist. Luckily, the "King" was on his game.
- Staying out of the box. Markus Naslund was guilty of taking three penalties on Wednesday night. The last thing the Rangers' want to do is give the Capitals power play time with lethal weapons such as Ovechkin, Mike Green, Nicklas Backstrom, Alexander Semin, and Sergei Fedorov.
- Face-offs. The Caps' outclassed the Blueshirts in the face-off circle on Wednesday night. Hopefully, the return of captain Chris Drury will change that.

All Eyes on The King
by Patrick Hoffman on 04/14/09 at 11:35 AM ET
Comments (0)
When the puck drops tomorrow night at the Verizon Center, all eyes will turn to New York Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist as the Blueshirts take on the Washington Capitals in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
If the Blueshirts are going to advance to the next round, the "King" will need to be at his best when he faces the likes of offensive machines Alex Ovechkin (56 goals, 54 assists, 110 points), Nicklas Backstrom (22 goals, 66 assists, 88 points), Alexander Semin (34 goals, 45 assists, 79 points) and stud defenseman Mike Green (31 goals, 42 assists, 73 points).
Lundqvist will face pucks from all angles and will have to steal at least one of the first two games of the series if the team wants to give themselves any kind of shot when the series shifts back to Madison Square Garden.

The AHL: A Bargain for Great Hockey
by Patrick Hoffman on 11/12/08 at 01:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
For a person that has seen many, many National Hockey League games, it will probably come as a surprise to some of you that I had never been to an American Hockey League (AHL) game before, especially since I live within 150 minutes of two American Hockey League franchises: the Hartford Wolf Pack (New York Rangers farm team) and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (New York Islanders farm team).
As I mentioned this past weekend, that all changed on Saturday night when I went to the XL Center (formerly the Hartford Civic Center) to take in a Wolf Pack vs. Springfield Falcons (Edmonton Oilers farm team) game. However, as you also all know, I wasn't able to enjoy the game from a fan's perspective.
Instead, I got to enjoy it as a credentialed member of the media, covering the game for the Wolf Pack web site and boy was the game ever good. This game had it all: speed, great puck movement, solid goaltending, a fight, and hard hitting. All in all, it was just as good as an NHL game.

Wind farm company EnergieKontor is taking its fight to build three 100-metre high turbines near Gargrave to appeal.
For the second time, the company has refused to accept the refusal decision of Craven District Council and has appealed to the Planning Inspectorate.
Its plan to build at Brightenber Hill, East Marton, was turned down in September by all but one of the council's planning committee, despite the recommendation of officers.
The grounds for the refusal were the impact on the living conditions of the occupants of nearby Ash Tree Farm.
The three-turbine plan followed an earlier scheme for five on the same site that was also refused permission by the council and upheld on appeal to the Planning Inspectorate.
EnergieKontor Project manager, Justin Reid, said the company had consistently maintained that it had a 'planning compliant project'.
"We were encouraged by Craven District Council planning department's very clear recommendation for planning approval and the expressions of support we received for the planning application, which numbered over 1,000 individuals.
"The project would make a vital contribution to the renewable-energy needs of Craven, particularly important in light of the planning refusal for the Chelker Reservoir wind farm application."
The appeal is currently earmarked to be dealt with by written representations, with a deadline of January 8 for final comments.
It will mean that an inspector will make a decision based on written evidence instead of the more expensive public hearing, or public inquiry, both of which are held in public.
Skipton MP Julian Smith said he was disappointed that EnergieKontor had decided to appeal and that he would be discussing wind farms in general with the chief executive of the Planning Inspectorate.
"I have consistently said that I do not believe we should cover our stunning countryside with metal so it is disappointing that this appeal means there continues to be no resolution to this long-running planning process," he said.
"Though this specific appeal is a matter for the Planning Inspectorate, it is important more generally that communities feel their voice is heard when that organisation gets involved. I will be meeting with the Chief Executive of the Planning Inspectorate later this month to highlight the concerns that have raised with me.
"I also continue to meet with ministers at Westminster, along with many other Conservative MPs, to make the case that we must radically cut the subsidies paid to wind developers."

New Study Shows Older Diabetics Are Less Aware of Hypoglycemic Symptoms as Reported by DiabeticLive.com
A recent study conducted on older (age 65 and over) individuals with Type 2 diabetes found that they demonstrated less awareness of hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) episodes than middle-aged (age 39-64) diabetics as reported by DiabeticLive.com.
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) September 26, 2011
New Study Shows Older Diabetics Are Less Aware of Hypoglycemic Symptoms: A recent study conducted on older (age 65 and over) individuals with Type 2 diabetes found that they demonstrated less awareness of hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) episodes than middle-aged (age 39-64) diabetics. The exact reason for the reduced awareness was unknown, but researchers hypothesized that hypoglycemia could cause increased impairment of cognitive and physiological alterations in older individuals.

The study's objective was to analyze the subjective responses of older Type 2 diabetics to hypoglycemic episodes — in other words, how the patients themselves perceived their own episodes. It has been previously shown that elderly diabetics are at an increased risk of severe hypoglycemic episodes but their perceptions of their own episodes had not been previously studied. The researchers noted that hypoglycemia is the primary limiting factor in diabetes management and that management of such episodes is an important facet of effective overall management of the disease.
The study included 13 older patients (age 65 and older) and 13 middle-aged patients (age 39-64). All patients had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, while none of the patients displayed a history of stroke or symptoms of heart disease, overt nephropathy, or neuropathy. Additionally, none of the patients had experienced a severe hypoglycemic episode requiring the help of another individual within the year prior to the study.
Upon arriving at the test facility, patients were administered insulin and dextrose intravenously. They filled out semi-quantitative questionnaires which inquired whether they were experiencing eleven symptoms of low blood sugar, including dizziness, blurred vision, tingling, faintness, and difficulty concentrating. Once they completed the questionnaire, patients were asked to estimate their own blood sugar levels.
To determine whether the patients experienced a decrease in cognitive function during a hypoglycemic episode, researchers tested their reaction times both before and during the episode using a standard vigilance task which required the participants to identify alterations in the frequency of a sound.
Upon the conclusion of the study, the researchers discovered that while baseline blood glucose levels were not significantly different between the two age groups, the middle-aged group reached a hypoglycemic plateau faster than the older group did. The older patients failed to identify certain neuroglycopenic and autonomic hypoglycemic conditions symptoms that the middle-aged patients identified successfully.
The researchers could not definitively pinpoint the reason behind the older patients' impairment in identifying hypoglycemic symptoms, stating that âœthe mechanisms underlying the severe impairment of hypoglycemia awareness in our older patients cannot be derived from our data.â However, they hypothesized that older patients are more severely affected by hypoglycemic episodes that impair the cognitive processes responsible for detecting changes in physiological symptoms.

July 19, 2011 in Communication, Web Conferencing
Why integrate your phone conference and web conference for your next meeting? This is an especially apt question when you already have VOIP nested in your web conference platform. It seems much more convenient to just use a web conferencing platform. And you would accrue significant savings cutting out the conference calling bridge. There are five upsides though to using those good old fashioned conference call connections:
There is a clear but slow trend of increased VOIP usage for web conferences. iPad users and other mobile devices will be able to directly participate. In the immediate foreseeable future quality providers will continue to offer integrated phone conferencing/web conferencing solutions. Otherwise a significant number of users will not be able to participate in web conferences.

It's the raw immensity of the landscape. As far west as you can go. Youngest state, oldest place. The last frontier—not just a cliché but something you feel in your body. Supernatural things happen in Alaska. Grizzlies roam. Glaciers calve. Moose forage. You ride alongside rivers named Matanuska, pass volcanoes called Wrangell, stroll through famous towns like Valdez. Follow the trail of fur traders, copper miners, oil diggers and naturalists. One acre for every person. Things get put in perspective.
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Accommodations & Service Standards
Alaska is a land of rustic and rugged beauty, and while Backroads has selected the best properties in the places we visit, simplicity and comfort outweigh elegance and luxury in this great state. While the Valdez Harbor Inn offers simpler accommodations than the typical Backroads property, it's been selected for its picturesque setting and access to the best riding in the region.Generally speaking, service in Alaska can seem laid-back when compared with the high standards of service found on other Backroads trips.
While Backroads strives to find routes that are quiet and off the beaten track, that's not always possible in Alaska and some options on this trip follow more heavily trafficked roads. Of course, you're always welcome to jump in the shuttle to avoid the busier roads.Day 1 A true biking adventure in remote Alaska, where few travelers journey Get your legs moving with a beautiful ride from Palmer up Hatcher Pass, and savor expansive views of the Cook Inlet and soaring Chugach Mountains.
Day 2 Feel the vastness of Alaska's interior Pedal over rolling hills and beside the icy Matanuska River, fed by the mighty Matanuska Glacier Your home-cooked dinner is served with vistas of untouched wilderness.
Days 3-4 Ride in the shadow of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park's 16,000-foot peaks, nicknamed "the mountain kingdom of North America" Gear up for a big day of biking along scenic Glenn Highway, passing spruce forests, alpine meadows and possibly a moose! In the rugged and remote Copper River Valley, a challenging route past glaciers, rivers and woods is yours for the taking Climb Thompson Pass and up to Worthington Glacier before an incredible descent past thundering waterfalls and into harborside Valdez.
Days 5-6 Prince William Sound by ferry—watch for seals, bald eagles, orcas and puffins The snowcapped peaks of the Chugach Mountains and the chance to witness giant floating icebergs of the Columbia Glacier are sure to leave a lasting impression Hear rumbling?

This was one of the very best trips that I've taken with Backroads. I enjoy riding and riding and riding, and this trip offered that. How can you beat the scenery?- Saint Charles, IL
This was our first Backroads trip in 18 years and it exceeded all of my expectations. The itinerary, the leaders and the accommodations were wonderful. I am the cyclist in our family and was looking for challenging riding in an amazing place. This trip delivered in spades, but I was really pleased with how much my wife enjoyed the trip and the cycling.- Salt Lake City, UT
We have just signed up for our fifth Backroads trip and we have learned from experience that the guides are always top-notch, the routes are scenic if not breathtaking, the hotels are welcoming to jaw-dropping and the food is memorable. We leave all our worries behind and just enjoy the cycling!- East Fallow Field, PA
Backroads came to us well-recommended, but it was the location in Alaska that really drew us in. It wasn't until we had the experience of being so spoiled by Backroads that we really understood the feelings behind the recommendations.- Wayland, MA
This was the best trip we have ever taken. The leaders were awesome. The group dynamics clicked. The riding was challenging. It was just plain fun.- Pittsburgh, PA
The experience was beyond my expectations. The leaders were extremely helpful and wanted everyone to have a great vacation. I felt a part of the Alaska experience and not just a tourist.- Wichita, KS
We felt we experienced Alaska in a unique way. Gourmet lunches were terrific! Guides were wonderful! Loved accommodations and bikes. Everything seemed new and clean and for our pleasure. We are still talking about it and pulling our pictures and videos together.- Cincinnati, OH
