The 1987 National League Most Valuable Player, stoic Andre Dawson clubbed 49 homers and drove in 137 runs for the last-place Chicago Cubs, becoming the first player on a cellar-dweller to earn the award. He hit 174 homers in a Cubs' uniform, but that was just the second act in his fine career. Earlier, "The Hawk" starred as a five-tool center fielder for the Expos, hitting 225 homers and stealing 253 bases for Montreal in ten full seasons. With Ellis Valentine and Warren Cromartie, and later Tim Raines, he formed one of the most talented outfields of the era. He finished his career with two seasons for his hometown Florida Marlins. In 2010 he was elected into Baseball's Hall of Fame
Unform Number
#10 (1976-1986, 1993-1994), #8 (1987-1992, 1995-1996)
Replaced By
Dawson was a DH the last few years of his career, often a part-time DH. His last starting job in the outfield was as the Cubs' right fielder in 1992. After he left for the Red Sox in '93, Sammy Sosa took his spot in right for Chicago.
Best Season
Though Dawson was a more well-rounded player from 1979-1983, he was a monster in '87. I can't agree with his selection as Most Valuable Player, but he had a fabulous season for a very mediocre team. Dan Holmes Several sources claim Dawson signed a blank major league contract with the Chicago Cubs in 1987. This is not completely true. Dawson was one of several free agents that off-season who did not receive any offers from teams. Lance Parrish, Tim Raines, Bob Boone, Bob Horner and Rich Gedman were a few of the others. These free agents were later awarded compensation because it was found owners' had agreed to ignore high-price free agents in an effort to drive down the price of players. Dawson eventually signed with the Cubs, his first choice because he had always had success at Wrigley Field. In his years with Montreal he had hit .346 (122-for-353) with 16 homers and a .598 slugging percentage in Wrigley. Dawson originally told the Cubs he would sign a blank contract and allow the team to fill in any salary they saw fit, just so he could get to play 81 games in Chicago. The Cubs refused and settled on a $650,000 contract - still far less than Dawson would have commanded in a "collusion-free" fair market. After his MVP campaign in 1987, the Cubs tore up the contract and re-signed him for $1.8 million./
Factoid 1
On May 22, 1990, Andre Dawson set a major league record for intentional walks in one game, when he received five in a 16-inning contest.
June 3, 1975: Drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 11st round of the 1975 amateur draft; November 12, 1986: Granted Free Agency; March 9, 1987: Signed as a Free Agent with the Chicago Cubs; November 4, 1992: Granted Free Agency; December 9, 1992: Signed as a Free Agent with the Boston Red Sox; October 21, 1994: Granted Free Agency; April 10, 1995: Signed as a Free Agent with the Florida Marlins; November 7, 1995: Granted Free Agency; January 5, 1996: Signed as a Free Agent with the Florida Marlins.
Power to all fields, and his throwing arm. Prior to his knee problems, he was also very fast.
Dawson never walked more than 44 times in one season. He was a free-swinger.
On September 24, 1985, Dawson became the second player in major league history to hit two home runs in an inning twice in a career, having previously done it on July 30, 1978.

WASHINGTON (ICIS)--President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill approved by Congress to continue the federal government's role in providing helium supplies to industry and the general market, the White House said on Thursday.
The White House press secretary said that Obama signed the bill, HR-527, on Wednesday night.
Unanimously approved by both the House and Senate, HR-527, "The Helium Stewardship Act", essentially provides that the federal government will continue to operate the helium reserve under existing terms for another year.
After the one-year extension for the existing federal role in operating the helium reserve, semi-annual helium auctions will be held to achieve a more open and competitive purchasing process and ensure a better return for taxpayers, according to the bill.
That process will continue until the federally owned helium reserve is drawn down to some 3 billion cubic feet (bcf) (85 million cubic metres) when public sales will be ended, and that volume will be available only for federal national security and government scientific purposes.
The US government-operated system, the Federal Helium Reserve (FHR) in Texas, provides 30% of the world's supply of helium and fills more than 50% of US domestic demand.
That system feeds raw helium recovered from natural gas production to six refineries operated by four major industrial gases firms along the FHR pipeline that spans parts of three states – Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Because of complaints about the way that FHR operates and losses to the federal government due to under-priced sales of the helium, Congress decided in 1996 to shut down the federal role.
But US industries appealed the shutdown order, arguing that without a planned private-sector-based procedure to take over the federal role, an abrupt shutdown would cause chaos.
The measure approved by Obama enables that transition.
Helium is broadly used across US manufacturing industries, and it is critical to medical sector operations, especially diagnostics such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems.
The lighter-than-air gas also plays a crucial role in welding – which is ubiquitous in almost every manufacturing and process industry, including chemicals and refining – and in such varied products as LCD video screens, computer chips, medical lasers, rocket fuels and nuclear reactors, among many others.

Penn State's 6-foot-4 center Nikki Greene had the ball wide open at the top of the key. It wasn't her kind of shot, so Greene took a couple awkward dribbles before the ball rolled away after bouncing off her foot. Coach Coquese Washington could only shake her head and smile, because almost everything else went right Sunday afternoon for the ninth-ranked Lady Lions' frontcourt. Guard Maggie Lucas and forward Mia Nickson each scored 12 points, and Penn State dominated the paint to build a big lead in a 75-34 rout of Lafayette. Lucas added nine rebounds and four steals but hit just 5 of 16 from the field. Still, the Lady Lions (3-0) hardly needed their prolific shooting guard against the overmatched Leopards (1-3). ''Our focus today was putting a body on (opposing players) and getting boards,'' Lucas said. ''Shots don't always fall, so you have to find a way to make an impact in our ways.'' Emily Homan had 11 points and six rebounds to lead Lafayette, which shot 19 percent. The Le...

BOSTON — The Hockey Hall of Fame inducted four players Monday night — Mike Modano, Rob Blake, Peter Forsberg and Dominik Hasek. It was one of the most well-rounded classes from a player perspective in recent years, and the 2015 class is shaping up to be fantastic as well. Here's my list of the most deserving players for the 2015 class. Be sure to vote in the poll at the bottom...

No. 5 retirement: Lidstrom didn't know he had it in him
DETROIT -- When the Detroit Red Wings informed 19-year-old Nicklas Lidstrom that they planned to pick him in the third round of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft, he told the team that he was looking forward to being at the draft so he could hear his named called in person.

Day 12 New years day
It was raining lightly but it was a planned rest day and time to catch up on some washing and to get a few things from the shops we had planned on going up Mt Wellington but it remained hidden in the clouds all day so we decided not to bother. Now I regret not going as it would have probably been great riding up into the clouds.
We took bacon to Joe,s Garage after-all it was Tuesday - Bike night.
Being New years day it was pretty quiet. Had a few drinks and headed off. Bacon met Vanessa and Tam I thought he was going to score but alas he struck out.
They have a crazy pool table
Vanessa & Tam
Joes's is packed wit all sorts of stuff this is a burnt out 916
After Joe's we headed down to the Tassie taste for dinner then watched the fireworks at midnight
Bacon had a few to many we found him in the morning still with his hat on and he could not remember how he got home or ended up on the carpet
Hobart is great at that time of the year all the boats competing in the Sydney to Hobat and the Melbourne race are in town an Constitution dock is a very busy place.

|3 - 7 nights
Our immaculate executive home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The private pool/spa area faces south-west to get the most of the sun. It also has a shaded/covered lanai.
Both Master bedrooms have king size beds and have their own door to the pool area. The other two bedrooms come equipped with twin size beds and share a bathroom.
Our home was recently painted inside and out with new tile in living areas & carpets in the bedrooms. It also has brand new furnishings including leather couches and chair in family area. There is a washer/dryer for your use. We have a park-style BBQ for your use.
We offer free WiFi and calling to anywhere in the United States or Canada. We have a games room with a pool table in it.
You can pick your own oranges from around the subdivision to make freshly squeezed orange juice each morning!
We are located in Orange Tree Subdivision which is a quiet well maintained area. It is only a short 20 minute drive to Disney World's parking lot. We are 35 minutes from Universal Studios and 45 minutes from Lego land. If you are a shopper, we are 30 minutes away from Orlando's Factory Outlet Stores.
There are so many restaurants within a short drive from our villa.
This is definitely the villa that will make your holiday a memorable one!
We have a family owned business that our father started in 1970. It is a water well drilling/ water pumps/ geothermal sales and service business.
We live in our hometown, Pembroke, on Canada.
Canada is a beautiful country, but it is nice to escape to our Florida home for a few weeks in the winter months!
Erica MacKinnon purchased this house in 2012
We both have young families and wanted to purchase a holiday home near Orlando, FL that would be close to attractions and shopping. We also knew that we wanted a South or West Facing pool area to get the optimal sun until the end of the day! It took us over a year to find a subdivision and home that we were happy and felt safe in. Our families have made wonderful memories already and we look forward to spending more holidays in Florida!!
One unique benefit with our villa is that you can see the glow of the Disney Fireworks everynight standing on the front doorstep! You can also pick oranges every morning from nearby trees!
Just to let you know that we had a fantastic time down in Orlando, and the vacation home was absolutely fantastic, we cannot say enough about this wonderful home, it was impeccably clean and welcoming and there was plenty of room for all 8 of us. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home and the beautiful Orlando area. This was a memorable vacation to say the least!
We enjoyed ourselves so much at this property! This was our first time using VRBO so I was a little nervous, turns out there was no need for the worry! It was just myself, husband & two kids. The kids loved having their own bedrooms & bathrooms!
It was clean & exactly as it is pictured. I especially liked that the main areas were tiled so it was very easy to keep clean. Plus it was open concept so I never felt hidden away in the kitchen while everyone was enjoying themselves.
The pool was actually bigger than we expected & very private. This kids couldn't get enough of it! We really enjoyed our early morning coffee in the hot tub each and every day!
Thank you for sharing your home with us!
It was close to all the major parks with easy access. It's only about 10 minutes from Disney which was a blessing after a long day at the parks. There were restaurants close by that we slipped out to dinner for. And grocery shopping close by as well, including Publix & a super Walmart.
We cooked in most days, and I found the kitchen very well stocked. I would maybe recommend a casserole dish or two, as that was the only thing we found we wished we had.
There is tons of room to spread out here & is in a lovely neighbourhood. It's way in off the main road so you don't hear any traffic, just the birds!
The owner, Erica, was a dream to deal with & provided a TON of helpful info for the trip. She is super easy to communicate with & I would in a heartbeat rent here again!
We stayed at this villa for a month, the pictures are true to life. Decorating is nice and makes you feel like you are home , not in a rental home. We were close to the parks but enjoyed the quiet neighbourhood. The pool was well maintained .There was plenty of pool furniture ,so when we had guests everyone had a spot. The house is well equipped and everything we needed was there . When we arrived we had the wrong code and couldn't get in , made a call to the management company and the lady was there in a short period of time , so we were impressed with their service. Very spacious home, clean and very comfortable.It was great having a washer and dryer to keep towels and laundry clean. Publix grocery store is 5 mins away, and 24 hr walmart is 10 mins away. Would recommend this house. Dealt with the owner and she was good to deal with, was very prompt and friendly with all correspondence. You will not make a mistake renting this property.
It is just a beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed the area. It is very close to all the attractions. The best place we ate was at the Cracker Barrel family restaurant. The shopping was great also. The best shopping place was Kohl''s department store. We had a wonderful time even though the weather wasn't great. I would recommend this Villa to everyone. Thanks for the wonderful accommodations.
We've rented both condos and homes in different Florida locations and this was the best so far.
-The pool was about 30% larger than other rentals and very well maintained as was the wonderful connected hot tub. Our 3 yr old granddaughter really enjoyed both. The hot tub heated first and she didn't have to wait to get wet. The pool is large enough for a lot of people at the same time.
-The lanai was covered with a celing fan and large table where we ate most of our meals. There is more than enough seating on the lanai with comfortable pool furniture.
-There is a safety fence around the pool to prevent unauthorized access by small children. My daughter loved it.
-The house was very clean and well maintained and the bedrooms were not cramped by any means. The master bedroom was located apart from the others which provided both privacy and quiet. The master bath had a walk in shower, tub, and two separate vanities. The other bathrooms are larger than others we've encountered.
- The furniture was comfortable and in very good condition. There are several recliners.
- There is a large screen HDTV in the family room and we were able to use an available HDMI port to watch Netflix with all my Granddaughter's favorite shows from our smartphone. Which testifies to the stability and bandwidth of the WiFi connection. At a previous rental the WiFi capacity would not support streaming video. There is cable available but the channels that we watched seemed to be displaying in standard definition rather than HD. But since we don't watch cable at home it could be that those channels were not broadcast in HD. We had excellent HD with Netflix and movies we had loaded on our smartphone.
- The kitchen has all the essential appliances and utensils in excellent condition. However there weren't any coffee filters and a small amount of coffee. This was only a concern because we arrived around 9pm. A quick trip to the nearby Publix market took care of the problem. Be advised Publix closes at 10pm. Fortunately they were very kind and helpful and did not kick me out when I went passed closing time.
- Disneyworld is an easy 1/2 hour drive away. We only went to the Magic Kingdom but should have followed an internet posting that suggested parking at the Epcot lot and taking the monorail to the Magic Kingdom.
- The owners were very easy to work with and answered all our inquires quickly. I especially appreciated the convenience of using PayPal.
- We highly recommend this rental.
The home is beautiful and clean. We were 5 adults and 5 kids. House was perfect for our Disney vacation. Location was great and the pool was perfect after long hot days at Disney.

Morgan State University officials said Saturday they have promoted campus police Chief Adrian J. Wiggins to the new post of chief public safety officer, in which he will explore changes to campus safety and emergency management systems.
The move comes two months after a student was accused of dismembering a family friend and eating his heart and some of his brain.
University President David Wilson said the new post will involve issues such as security of university laboratories, pedestrian traffic on the campus and relations with nearby neighborhoods. The university will soon begin a search for a new police chief, he said.
Wilson said the change was not in response to the case of Alexander Kinyua, the man accused of cannibalism. Months before, university officials had flagged Kinyua for alarming behavior.

Soldiers loaded men, women and crying children into trucks as rocks and debris hurled in the air and down the mountain's slopes. The danger zone was widened from 10 kilometers from the glowing crater to 15 kilometers.
Indonesia's deadly volcano erupted on Wednesday with its biggest blast yet, shooting searing ash miles into the sky and forcing the hasty evacuations of panicked villagers and emergency shelters near the base of the mountain.
Soldiers loaded men, women and crying children into trucks as rocks and debris hurled in the air and down the mountain's slopes. No new casualties were reported immediately after the booming explosion that lasted more than an hour.
"This is an extraordinary eruption, triple from the first" on Oct. 26, said Mr Surono, a state volcanologist.
Tens of thousands of villagers have been evacuated from Mount Merapi, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, since it began erupting just over a week ago, killing 38 people, most from severe burns.
The danger zone was widened on Wednesday from 10 kilometers from the glowing crater to 15 kilometers because of the heightened threat.
"I (didn't) think of anything else except to save my wife and son. We left my house and everything," said Tentrem Wahono, 50, who lives in Kaliurang village, about 10 kilometers from the peak. He and his family fled on a motorbike, "racing with the explosive sounds as the searing ash chased us from behind."
The last eruption has raised Merapi's status to "crisis" condition, said Andi Arief, a special staff at the presidential office dealing with disaster and social assistance.
Indonesia, a vast archipelago of 235 million people, is prone to earthquakes and volcanos because it sits along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," a horseshoe-shaped string of faults that lines the Pacific.
As a reminder of that, a 6.1-magnitude quake hit waters off the eastern province of Papua on Wednesday evening, rattling several villages but causing no known damage or casualties.
The volcano's initial blast on Oct. 26 occurred less than 24 hours after a towering tsunami slammed into remote islands on the western end of the country, sweeping entire villages to sea and killing at least 428 people. In both cases, relief operations are expected to take weeks, possibly months.

In a normal heart, the heart's lower two chambers, called ventricles,
pump at the same time. When a person has heart failure, often the right
and left ventricles do not pump at the same time. When the heart is out
of sync, the left ventricle is unable to pump enough blood to the body.
This may eventually lead to an increase in heart failure symptoms such
as shortness of breath, swelling in the ankles or legs, weight gain, fatigue,
and an irregular heartbeat.
A special type of pacemaker, called a bi-ventricular (BI-V) pacemaker,
can be implanted and helps to keep the right and left ventricles pumping
together. This is known as Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). This
BI-V pacemaker is similar to a regular pacemaker, but instead of having
leads only in the right side of the heart, the BI-V works with a lead
in the left side of the heart as well.
With leads in the right and left ventricles, the bottom chambers beat in
a more balanced way, which has shown to decrease the symptoms of heart
failure in many people. Some people with heart failure are at higher risk
of fast irregular heart rhythms—which may be life threatening—and
may benefit from both resynchronization therapy and an implantable cardiac
defibrillator (ICD). These devices combine bi-ventricular pacing with
the ability to detect and treat rapid heart rhythms.
Bi-V pacemakers improve the symptoms of heart failure in about 70 percent
of people who have been treated with medications but still have severe
or moderately severe heart failure symptoms.
To be eligible for a Bi-V or cardiac resynchronization therapy, you must be:
Most patients who are eligible for a Bi-V pacemaker or cardiac resynchronization
therapy also meet criteria for ICD implantation due to their increase
risk of sudden cardiac death from poor heart function. Your doctor will
discuss what type of device would be most beneficial to you.
Should I take my medications?
Prior to the procedure, your doctor will discuss what medications to continue
taking or what medications to stop.
Can I eat before the procedure?
You will not be able to eat or drink anything after midnight before your
procedure. If you must take medications, you will be instructed to take
them with a very small sip of water. When brushing your teeth, do not
swallow any water.
Where does the procedure take place?
ou will be instructed on what time to arrive and where to arrive the day
of your procedure. You can call the office at (408) 839-5900 if you have
any questions.
The procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours. The Bi-V device is implanted
with numbing medication injected into the surgical site. Intravenous pain
and relaxation medication is administered by an anesthesiologist. Flexible
insulated wires (leads) are inserted into a vein under or near your collarbone,
typically on the left side. The leads are guided with the help of X-ray
images to the proper chamber of your heart: the right atrium (RA), the
right ventricle (RV), and left ventricle (LV). The other end of the lead
is attached to the generator which is implanted in a pocket under the
skin in the upper chest. Your new device and new leads will be tested
after they are properly implanted. If you received a BI-V ICD, then testing
the device may require "shocking" your heart. The anesthesiologist
will heavily sedate you so that you will not be awake during the test.
After implant, you may have some discomfort around the incision area, which
can remain tender and swollen for a few days or weeks. Pain medication
will be provided by your physician so that you have adequate pain relief.
You will stay in the hospital overnight. Your device will be re-evaluated
the morning after implant and, if everything is stable, you will be discharged
home. You will receive specific instructions about how to care for yourself
after the procedure including medication guidelines, wound care, activity
guidelines, and device care and maintenance.
You will be periodically followed in our Arrhythmia Device Clinic or by
your cardiologist. You will be given follow-up instructions prior to discharge.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy is only one part of a comprehensive treatment
program. It is important that you continue to take your medications, make
dietary changes, live a healthy lifestyle, and keep your follow up appointments.
We want you to be an active member of your treatment team.

the Heart Rhythm Center Services please call:
Your opinion matters. We want to hear from you.

Paul Murphy / Eyewitness News
NEW ORLEANS The water is inching closer to the top of the levees here along the New Orleans riverfront, a very dangerous time for people who make their living on the river.
Ships on the Mississippi River in the New Orleans area are now fighting a six to seven mile per hour current on a river that continues to rise, and as a result of the high water, certain restrictions are now in effect for mariners.
This afternoon the water splashed only a few feet from the top of the levee on Algiers Point, and the river isn't expected to crest for another two weeks.
'This is a crazy time on the river, that's for sure,' said Cpt. Michael Rooney, president of the New Orleans - Baton Rouge Steamship Pilots Association, or NOBRA.
NOBRA has implemented emergency procedures for ships to follow up and down the lower Mississippi.
'No one in my lifetime, your lifetime any of our lifetimes has seen the river at this stage,' Rooney said. 'So, we're at the highest level of alert.'
Until further notice, southbound river traffic from Baton Rouge to New Orleans will be in daylight only. Northbound traffic from the sunshine bridge in St. James Parish to Baton Rouge is also daylight only. And vessels with a draft of more than 30 feet must have a pilot on board while at anchor.
'With this historic level of river, the ship would be at the top of the levee and it would take very little for that ship to punch a hole in the levee,' Rooney said.
The vessel traffic center in Algiers is like the air traffic controller for ships on the lower Mississippi. Melvin Mayer has been controlling river traffic here for 23 years.
'Normally it gets a little more hectic when we get a high river with traffic and one way traffic, but when it gets to this stage here, you have to be extra careful with it,' Mayer said.
The Coast Guard is keeping a close watch on the river and how the historically high levels have affected city's and towns north of New Orleans. Right now vessels cannot pass one another on Algiers Point, and there are certain restrictions on barges and ships that can't travel more than 10 mph.
'The likelihood that we would shut down the entire length of the river is pretty unlikely and that's not something that we look to do, and that would be a last option,' said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Marcie Kohn.
Kohn also said that vessels are now being told to be mindful of their wake and the damage it could do to the levees and structures along the river under these high water conditions.

Pricing strategies to help you earn what you deserve
Many business owners may not be asking for what they deserve. They may be undervaluing their services or undercharging for their products in order to offer a good deal to their customers.
Our featured guest in this episode of Small Business Trends Radio is Maria Marsala, Founder of Elevating Your Business [1], a business strategies company that focuses on helping its clients earn more money and enjoy a quality lifestyle. Maria is a no-nonsense, bottom line, problem solver and she's here to help you get your business back on track and begin to earn what you deserve.
Here is a sampling of some tips from the show:Consider offering — less for the same price. If you're offering a consultation service, try offering less time for the same rate. If your offering a product, consider offering a smaller amount without a rate decrease. Early bird specials and introductory prices can also be used to increase sales and build clientele.
Practice — makes perfect. It's important to learn how to properly communicate the value of your product or service to a potential customer. And many small business owners may not be comfortable with it or simply do not focus on it. If you can successfully impart the value of your offerings to a potential client, chances are that you will be equally successful in closing that sale. Start by practicing your pricing pitch in the mirror and on your friends and family to build confidence. Ask for constructive criticism and make necessary adjustments. If you project confidence to your client, they will feel confident in purchasing the services and products you have to offer. Don't give away — too many freebies. Five out of ten times, when too much is offered for free upfront, the client may not call back for additional products or services. If in a service business, do not offer your advice for free. When it is requested, simply state your consultation rates and then arrange to set an appointment. This will give value and appreciation to those who are ideal clients and will sift out those who may not be. If you give away items or services for free, the client may not value it. Plan ahead — for things to come. Learn to handle clients who make last minute changes, want the job rushed, or require that work be performed on weekends in order to accommodate their wishes. Think and plan ahead as to what your response will be and how far you will go. Set your charges for extra rates, weekend hours, etc.
Marsala has a lot more tips to share with you. To experience her no-nonsense energy and drive, click the link below to listen to the full interview.

Arizona Coyotes
Phoenix Coyotes rank high in defenseman rankings
The Phoenix Coyotes' 2012-13 season didn't go according to plan for a number of reasons, but there is optimism for the future.
General manager Don Maloney and head coach Dave Tippett were re-signed to new contracts in the offseason and IceArizona, a group headed by George Gosbee and Anthony LeBlanc, bought the team from the NHL.
There's also reason to be optimistic on the ice, more specifically the blue line, according to ESPN's Craig Custance.
In an Insider piece, Custance ranks the top ten groups of defensemen in the league, and has the Coyotes at number seven.
The Coyotes have nine defensemen on one-way contracts, which says something about the depth that GM Don Maloney is building on defense in the desert. One NHL source joked that Dave Tippett would dress them all if he could. The Coyotes also make this list because they have a defense led by Oliver Ekman-Larsson, a young star you can pencil in as a Norris Trophy finalist this coming season. "[Ekman-Larsson]'s an absolute stud," said the scout. "They have him and [Keith] Yandle and they've got some guys who can defend, as well. And Tippett's style -- they play a good, predictable defensive style. But Ekman-Larsson, he's a star."
The 22-year-old Ekman-Larsson led the Coyotes with 21 assists last season and 2013-14 will be the first in a new six-year extension he signed with the club that's worth $33 million. In other words, the belief is the 2009 first-round pick is just getting started.
Yandle, a two-time All-Star, is still just 26 years of age and his 30 points led Phoenix last season.
Custance has Stanley Cup champion Chicago at the top of the list, followed by Boston, the New York Rangers, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Vancouver ahead of the Coyotes.

"We've been duped by the Republicans. Kentucky Sen. and minority leader Mitch McConnell in a news conference one day after the election, stated that the single and sole goal of the GOP over the next two years is: to make Barack Obama a single term president. What an arrogant and obnoxious goal and statement. There agenda before the election was to get votes by promising that there first goals were jobs, the economy and health care reform. It seems their goal is to grab power, not to do things for the people that are in need of jobs and or unemployment pay, health care for those that don't have it, and the people losing their homes. This is the same party that wanted the auto plants and their suppliers to go out of business. We are just coming back from what they did to this country, and now we have them back to do the same things to our country again. What a mess the next two years is going to bring to this country. Talk about partisanship." Carl D. Leow Rogers Cit

Your record could become that of a felon without you changing a thing. It'll be like magic. One day you're a model citizen, the next, your a felon.
Thank God for Republicans, (and a few wayward Democrats who are standing up to their freedom snatching, Constitution shredding party).

Norm and 57 could sing a duet lullaby. No doubt some were singing the same tune on December 6, 1941, in Hawaii.
Others sang a similar lullaby the day before "The Night Of The Long Knives" in Germany, also known as "Operation Hummingbird".
Yep, lots of lullaby singers died with a song in their hearts and dissonance in the ears of their non-fool listeners.
If you sent a courier to go and collect the message: "It can't happen here". That runner would be on a fools errand, and would likely have to pass by Norm and 57, grazing in nearby fields while standing in their own waste.

nobo..You are feeding your own paranoia by reading flat earth garbage. We all watched what happened to the California cop who fought the government no matter how well armed or tuff he was. Left wingers who try to take legal guns will be unemployed. Now go to your bunker, surround yourself with tons of ammo and feel free. The Russians are comming, the Muslims are comming , the Americans are comming!

nobo..With all your conspiracy fantasies I am glad you are 'enslaved' under a law that prohibits you from owning a bazooka. You call for truth right after lying about an attack on the 2nd amendment which says nothing about 30 round clips. The slave owning founders are dead and didn't assign owning a machine gun to anyone. You excite yourself with a false premise then expect us to think your fantasy is fact. No, I am not responsible to jesus, allah or Zeus no matter what you claim is 'fact'.

Thank you for the explanation Rshill. I'm paranoid enough these days without alarmist and misleading blogs. Seeking the truth turns out to be a lot more than you expect to learn - truth comes from all sides - not just the side you want to believe - Thanks

I read today at (thegatewaypundit(.)com/2013/02/shock-report-veterans-receive-letters-from-va-prohibiting-ownership-or-purchase-of-firearms/) That returning vets are being denied their rights to firearms. Can anyone else give another ref. on this?

I've seen them snatch smaller birds out of the air right in front of my truck windshield, and it scared the Declaration out of me. Have seen a pair of them teaching their offspring how to fly. Love watching them fish especially. Those Eagles used to remind me of my country. Now I don't feel that way. I want those Eagles to remind me of my country's men and women. The individual citizens.
Am I an Eagle? Could an Eagle be a metaphor for you or me? I hope so. We have an unwelcome rodent problem in State Legislatures. We have them in our nation's capitol running it...into the ground. We need to learn how to hunt and how to fly. These little mammals need to be carried away...with stern conviction, overlapping wings, and sharp, focused, vision.

Was looking out our front bay window about an hour ago. Gazing across the country road over towards the neighbors on the opposite side. Good neighbors. Right then, a very large, Bald Eagle, with a snow white head (just like some of you have) swoops down from over the top of our house, grabbed what appeared to be a black squirrel on the road, did a 180 turn, and flew straight towards that window I was looking out of, up, up, and over the top of the roof back where he came from towards the woods and the river. I went quickly to the back kitchen window to note his landing place, and he was gone.
"The Bald Eagle was chosen June 20, 1782 as the emblem of the United States of America, because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on this continent."
I used to get feelings of patriotism and pride when watching these beautiful creatures make their living and ply their trade.

Perhaps to some of them we are the domestic enemies. However, we are not violating the Constitution, they are.
At this point nothing will surprise me. Hopefully something surprises them and they wake up...peacefully.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
There a lot of senators and reps violating their oaths. They are not defending the Constitution, and they appear to be ignoring domestic enemies.

The attack on the American people and our way of governance has been under attack since before 911. But, since 911 the attacks on freedom and liberty has escalated. There is not a sane man or woman who has lived through 911 until now that can deny our country has changed drastically. There comes a point that a conspiracy theory is not a theory but a cold hard fact of life. There are criminals in power, the government is broken, the wolves are at the door, friends. We all need to arm ourselves with information from all sources and learn to separate the truth from political and socially engineered spin. We must demand accountability now before we lose the rights to do so.
Posted 823 days ago.
Each of us are responsible to ourselves, god, and our destiny. If you choose to go unquestioning into oblivion in a 250 year experiment in governance, to be written off as a side-note in the grand scheme of human history, then more is the shame on you. It is your responsibility as a citizen and a free human to question the motives of those we have elected to lead us. The political parties are corruptible. We have seen this happen throughout history. The dominant media is not a free media – its a state owned and run media that feeds us opinions and expects us to fall in step with a state agenda. There are no red states there are no blue states there is no left and right. There is freedom and those who would take it from us.
Posted 823 days ago.
Sorry Norm, Its not the NRA that is terrorizing the public. It's Bloomburg, Como, Finestine, and dozens of other gun grabbing authoritarians who have no regard for freedom, personal responsibility, and liberty. They would enslave us under regulations and rules that they do not have to follow. They would social engineer us into worker drones that pay for their elite lifestyles. If we lose the fight for the 2nd amendment we lose our freedom and our ability to throw off an oppressive government which is a duty assigned to us by our founding fathers and responsibility of every citizen to uphold.

I don't give a fig about the sequester. It isn't a cut. It is a reduction in the rate of growth. In other words, spending still increases under the sequester...Obama's encephalitic brainchild.

When an army holds the line, is that considered 'fear' inside your gumball machine with one rotten ball left inside?
No, standing up against tyranny is not fear. Lying down, slumbering, and inducing others to slumber is much closer to fear.

Dumb arse, I have NEVER advocated 'gun control' IF you were capable of comprehending American English, you would know that. I differ from you in that I have not given in to FEAR, which is the bread and butter of the NRA, and right wing speak.
Posted 823 days ago.
Nobo, it saddens me to see an otherwise rational purveyor of truth in this forum give in to the fear mongering NRA. Shrillstein cannot comprehend a simple notion that the sequester he is so fraught with fear over was and is a function of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The REPUBLICAN HOUSE voted FOR the sequester, by a wide margin. FACT. Congress voted FOR the sequester, in spite of all the GOP nonsensical history revision that presently dominates Republican speak. FACT. Your guns are safe. FACT. The NRA is scaring the 'crap' out of you guys. I am not afraid of my guns and ammunition being taken away, they are safe and secure. Nothing I have ever said in this forum contains lies of the sort rshrill would so marginalize my ideals with by insane innuendo and misrepresentation, let alone plain American English, which he has little grasp of. Do not be fooled, by a fool.

Business & Finance Consultant
United States - Last active: 1 day ago - Tests: 6
The services I provide enable my clients to perform at their highest levels. I am the interface between management and staff, between client and owner, and across all business and community partners. After all, the Wizard of Oz without his technology was just another man behind the curtain! I am a high-performance financial management professional with diverse management abilities. My favorite projects are the problems I stumbled across by chance. My natural strengths are observation, communication, and a "lead the charge" attitude. I'm passionate about people and fascinated by the nature of humans; I try to factor our human nature into all my calculations and recommendations. I've listed some achievements with former employers below. Since April 2013, I have been working with a variety of clients as an independent contractor. I enjoy an on-going relationship with my clients and for confidentiality purposes I do not post their projects. References from current clients can be provided as needed. Facing an $80,000/year budget cut, I saved a program and the jobs of everyone working on it. I identified cross-divisional savings opportunities and presented a proposal to the financial decision makers, enabling the department to realize savings that were right there all along. By boosting morale, actively listening to staff, and adjusting work duties to better match them, I vastly improved the performance of my county office. I earned a High Performance award and a Teamwork award. Statewide, our office ranking moved up 10 out of 40 positions compared to other county offices. I designed an Excel document that automated the preparation of cases for court. Previous preparation required 2 staff for 3 days biweekly. The automation decreased prep time to 1 person for 2 days biweekly.

Hi Ladies,
I woke up this morning and noticed that my breasts are not sore anymore and I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow. I don't have any spotting or major cramps (usually get a few every evening), but I can't stop worrying that this is a bad sign. I do still have lots of nausea - it was so bad over the weekend (with vomiting) that I had to be put on Zofran because I was about to be hospitalized for dehydration. I hate taking the medication, but need it to eat/drink and function at work. Hopefully someone else has noticed their breasts are not sore anymore too!

Smokers know their habit can kill, so why do they keep on doing smoking? How can they find the motivation and the strength to quit? Our studio guest Dr. Thomas Hering is an expert on smoking cessation. Another topic on the show is the danger of cat bites. And we meet one young epilepsy sufferer who challenges myths about his condition.
Backache is such a common problem that it's not always taken seriously. The causes are myriad and even the mind can play a role. We'll be discussing back pain in this week's interview. Also on the show: the fashion for fasting and how to treat chronic middle ear infections.
This week's edition focuses on: Hypnosis. In many countries hypnotherapy is a scientifically recognized method of treatment. Our studio guest, hypnotherapist Harald Krutiak, tells us what kind of patients can benefit from hypnotism. Other topics on the show include: juvenile diabetes, wounds that require special treatment and chiropractic medicine.
Few illnesses scare people as much as cancer. We talk to cancer specialist Ulrich Keilholz about the most common causes of the disease - and how you can reduce the risk of getting it. Plus: How viruses and bacteria may trigger cancer, why cardio tennis is a quick way to get fit and whether to use MSG in your food.
A horror scenario? The days when people died of minor cuts or bladder infections could soon return, as harmful bacteria become resistance to antibiotics. Protective measures against multidrug-resistant pathogens are the topic of our studio interview. Plus: how our intestines and skin can detect scents and why experts are warning against E-hookahs.
A glass couldn't hurt……….says the German who thinks he's earned a beer or glass of wine. Yet many people don't limit themselves to just one glass. But maybe they should consider it.

2012, end of the world. Oh for heavens sakes people! #!@#!@$@%$#!! How many times has it been predicted the world would end? I remember being a senior in High School and so many people were so certain about Y2K. I ignored it and enjoyed watching the premiere of the latest Backstreet Boys music video on MTV new years eve. Guess what happened when the clock struck midnight? It kept snowing outside and I fell asleep with "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" by the Backstreet Boys ringing in my head.
Seriously folks, I don't understand the fuss. Those prophecies are being taken way out of context. The world will change in some way shape or form, I'm sure, but its not the end of the world. From some of the research I've done, the Mayans just maxed out their calender to the end of some celestial cycle. Something to that affect. Its just an end of a cycle and the start of a new one. We just happen to be alive when its happening and its nothing thats going to wipe out most of the human race. Think about it, if something THAT massive was really going to happen, don't you think their would be a lot more fuss about it than there is now? It's funny to see Scientists talk casually on the History Channel about 2012. If they truly believed the world was going to end, I seriously doubt they would be wasting their time discussing it in an interview with the history channel. They would be finding ways to get OFF the planet. I know I would.
So, stop freaking out. The world is not ending. Changing? Most likely. Ending? Seriously, doubt it. No need to waste your time wondering if its true or not. Just live your life. Dont waste your time on something that is most likely not gonna happen. This is just another Y2K repeat.
On another note, I saw the movie 2012 and it was excellent. :-)
