USPS, unions extend contract deadline again
Wednesday - 12/7/2011, 5:58pm EST
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
The U.S. Postal Service and the two major Postal unions have agreed to extend the deadline for negotiating a new labor contract until Dec. 16.
It is now the second extension agreed to by USPS and the two unions — the National Association of Letter Carriers and the National Postal Mail Handlers Union. The initial deadline for labor negotiations was Nov. 20, which had been extended until midnight Wednesday.
"All parties have now agreed to continue negotiations until midnight, Friday, Dec.16," a USPS release stated.
The Postal Service has faced dismal finances for years. Plagued by a precipitous drop-off in mail volume, USPS posted a net loss of $5.1 billion at the end of the last fiscal year.
The union negotiations come amid various plans to restructure the agency and shore up its finances. The agency has proposed ending Saturday delivery, cutting as many as 100,00 positions from its workforce and offering an alternative to the Federal Employees Health Benefit plan.
In a speech at a National Press Club luncheon last month, Postmaster General Pat Donahoe said the major issues in the ongoing contract negotiations are healthcare costs and labor flexibility.
Still, NALC President Fred Rolando told Federal News Radio last month he felt confident the agency and the unions could come to an agreement.
Unlike the private sector, Postal employees are not allowed to strike if negotiations come to an impasse because of the agency's "essential service to the nation." If the two parties are unable to come to an agreement, an arbitrator steps in to determine an outcome.

Political parties, other than the BJP for its PM nominee Narendra Modi, are having a tough time filling up grounds for the election rallies of their candidates. And while they point out that sultry heat, strict election commission guidelines and the sowing season are behind the thin crowds, they attack the BJP for using money power to bring thousands to Modi's rallies.
The low turnout has been particularly embarrassing for Congress leaders, including president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi. BJP ally, Lok Janshakti Party president Ramvilas Paswan and JD (U)'s KC Tyagi too have had to put up with thin crowds.
Sonia had turned the tide against the Congress by addressing rallies extensively across the country in 20004, pointed out Anis Durrani, a functionary at the AICC headquarters. "Soniaji's campaign had stalled the media hype about the Bharatiya Janata Party' (BJP)'s march to power," said Durrani. But Sonia's ailing health and Rahul's lacklustre appeal has sent the grand old party into a tail spin this time around.
For instance, Sonia abruptly called off her meetings in Nandurbar, Dhule and Mumbai around noon on Sunday, fuelling speculation about her health. These were further intensified when daughter Priyanka too cancelled her scheduled tour of Sonia's constituency, Rae Baraeli. While senior party leaders evaded questions, sources said she had developed minor complaints owing to her election tours. Rahul too had to cancel his Rae Baraeli meeting to be able to stand in for his mother in Mumbai on Sunday. With Sonia not arriving in Mumbai, her ally, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar too skipped the meet.
Earlier on March 24, Sonia felt nauseated and had to be given medical care when she appeared on stage to release the party's manifesto.
On April 12, Rahul gave a slip to a rally at Shahjhanpur in Uttar Pradesh due to poor attendance. Congress leaders say he could not reach Shahjanpur due to a delayed departure from the previous rally at Kanpur Dehat. But insiders say that his helicopter reached the spot, but didn't land as Rahul saw few people on the ground. Likewise, on March 22, Rahul's rally in Agartala, the capital of Tripura, too saw a low attendance.
To add insult to injury, candidates in Telangana and Tamil Nadu do not want Sonia or Rahul to campaign for them. Rallies that Sonia addressed at Nagercoil or Kanyakumari Lok Sabha constituency last week, and Rahul's Ramanathapuram rally on Monday did not attract desired crowds. Nagercoil is a traditional Congress bastion, which, the party believes, is its only trump card to prevent it from drawing a blank in Tamil Nadu. It is believed that P. Chidambaram's son Karthi, who is contesting from Sivaganga, wanted the Central leaders to stay away from his constituency, fearing they would be identified with anti-Tamil sentiments.
JD (U)'s Tyagi pointed out that as per media reports, only 10,000 people attended Modi's Jamshedpur rally in Jharkhand. But beyond Jamshedpur, BJP is happy with the crowds. The party believes that in small towns Modi's rallies draw some 25,000 to 30,000 people on average.
Detractors, however, say that this is the case because of BJP's liberal use of funds. "The elaborate arrangements, including that of transportation, lodging, food and other arrangements contribute to the crowds. He must explain where these funds are coming from," demanded senior Congress leader Akhilesh Pratap Singh.
Singh alleged that 29 trains were arranged for Modi's rally in Lucknow, at a cost of Rs 5 crore. He added that an additional 5,000 buses, 15,000 jeeps, lodging, food, decoration and other arrangements would have entailed a total expenditure of not less than Rs 40 crore.
It is not just the Luckow rally that has seen such lavish publicity. Congress spokesman and Union minister Anand Sharma pegs the cost of Modi's Hunkaar Rally in Patna at Rs 10 crore. "Even if we take a conservative estimate of Shri Modi addressing 300 rallies at Rs 10 crore per rally, this alone would amount to Rs 3,000 crore," he said.

Staff Reporter
KOCHI: The Admission Supervisory Committee for Professional Colleges has resolved two complaints related to collection of additional fee from students at the Kannur Dental College and the Devaki Amma Memorial Pharmacy College at Chelembra.
The committee observed that the management of the Kannur Dental College had collected Rs.87,000 from students who got admission in 2007-08 (merit quota) instead of the prescribed Rs.20,000 annual tuition fee and Rs.1.75 lakh interest-free refundable caution deposit.
The committee directed the management to include the excess Rs.67,000 (deducting Rs.20,000 from Rs.87,000) collected from the students in the caution deposit (total Rs.1.75 lakh). The students need to pay the remaining Rs.1. 08 lakh within 10 days.
In the case filed by students (merit quota, 2007-08 batch) of the Devaki Amma Memorial Pharmacy College, the committee directed the management to collect only Rs.20,000 annual tuition fee and Rs.1 lakh interest-free refundable caution deposit from the students. The students had complained that the management had collected Rs.35,000 from them.

I have had a full tummy tuck 3 weeks ago, including repair of tummy muscle, right from the moment I woke I experienced NO pain. I am struggling to understand this. I certainly have the tightened sensations and I couldn't walk straight for 10 days because the skin felt to tight, and I can definatley feel the newly stitched tummy muscle is very tight, but I have experienced no pain. Is there any explanation?

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
For the second time in six years, Tony Granato today was introduced as the head coach of the Avalanche, taking over for the man who replaced him four years ago.
If it was a surprise to the rest of the hockey world that the Avs would promote the same man they demoted four years ago, general manager Francois Giguere is not concerned.
"He was my first choice," said Giguere, who departed ways with coach Joel Quenneville by mutual agreement earlier this month. "I'm convinced today that Tony is the best coach for us."
Technically, Granato was not fired from his first head-coaching position, which lasted from the early part of the 2002-03 season through 2003-04.When former assistant Rick Tocchet left for Phoenix, Granato said he agreed with former Avs general manager Pierre Lacroix that the best thing for the organization would be for him to take Tocchet's job on the bench next to Quenneville.
After three seasons apprenticing under Quenneville, Granato said he can be a better coach this time.
"I know this team very well," said Granato, 43. "I know what it takes to motivate the players here. As far as systems go, we'll design a system that will allow these guys to show their talent."
The assistants under Granato have yet to be named, but Jacques Cloutier remains under contract with the team.
Giguere would not discuss any other names he considered for the job. But after Quenneville left, Giguere said Granato kept coming back into his head as he deliberated.
"I've spent two years around him now in this job, and I really like his energy and his attitude, and let's not forget, he had success here as a head coach," Giguere said. "He is always positive, always upbeat and I think he's going to be very good with our young players."
Despite a 72-33-17-11 record with the Avs and a franchise-best .647 winning percentage, the team is aware Granato's rehiring will not be without its critics. Granato coached a star-studded team his first time around and had a 9-9 record in the playoffs. Included was a first-round loss to Minnesota in 2003, in which the Avs blew a 3-1 series lead.
Granato also was partly in charge of the team's power play last season, one that finished 28th in the NHL at 14.6 percent. In the one full season (2003-04) that he was the Avs' head coach, however, the Avs' power play finished third in the league (20.3 percent).
"As a staff, we were all responsible for it," Granato said. "So, I accept some of that responsibility. There's no doubt special teams are an important part of the game, and we're going to want to improve in those areas."
Granato has an uncertain roster going forward. The Avs have nine regulars from last season who can become unrestricted free agents, including captain Joe Sakic.
Granato said he spoke with Sakic Thursday morning, but didn't get an indication whether he will return for a 20th season. Giguere is hoping to know soon about Sakic's plans, along with those of Peter Forsberg.
"It's going to be a little bit like Anaheim's situation. We need to know their intention, so we can establish our intention and put the plan in place," Giguere said. "Right now, we're planning with different contingencies."
Also unsettled is the goalie situation, with Jose Theodore's contract up at the end of the month. But Theodore's agent, Don Meehan, said he spoke with Giguere Thursday and plans to meet with Giguere at next week's NHL scouting combine in Toronto to discuss a new contract for Theodore.
"There's a lot to do in the coming weeks," Giguere said. "But it's a good feeling to have a coach in place, one who I'm very confident in."

Why is My Life in Ruins rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: My Life in Ruins is rated PG-13 for for sexual content.
While this film is most likely to appeal to the over thirty crowd, anyone that does hitch a ride with this tour guide who "hasn't had sex in forever," will catch more than a few glimpses of naked art, sexual jokes, crass terms and innuendoes. Sexual activity occurs between married and unmarried couples, although only some kissing is shown. A sexual threesome is implied. A straight man inadvertently attracts some homosexual attention. Women are seen in revealing clothing, underwear and bathing suits. A man suggests a woman use sexual favors to pay a debt. A character constantly shoplifts, and suffers no consequences for this illegal activity. Language includes the use of many mild and a few moderate profanities, along with some terms of Christian deity. An angry man tackles another, knocking him into a pool. After being involved in a fistfight, a man sports a bleeding lip. A motor vehicle accident is depicted: no injuries result. Alcoholic beverages are frequently consumed and some characters become slightly inebriated. A man smokes a cigar. Humor is derived from cultural stereotypes.

"The ability of Benicar(R) to bring elderly patients to blood pressure targets is very important, since attaining blood pressure targets can be so challenging in this group," said Dr. Joel M. Neutel, MD, director, Orange County Heart Institute and Research Center. "Although some physicians may be reluctant to use aggressive treatments for fear of an increased risk of adverse events, the findings show hypertension treatment can be accomplished safely and effectively in the elderly."
Benicar was well tolerated by elderly patients, with only nine of the initial 178 patients discontinuing treatment because of treatment emergent adverse events (AEs). In this trial, occurrence of drug-related AEs included: dizziness (3.4 percent), hypotension (2.2 percent), and/or headache (1.1 percent).
High blood pressure can cause permanent changes to blood vessels and the heart that may create serious problems elsewhere in the body.(4) Hypertension is one of the most prevalent conditions in the United States, affecting approximately one in three American adults (about 73 million people age 20 and older) and approximately one billion people worldwide.(5),(6) It is often difficult to control, and of those with high blood pressure, approximately 55 percent do not reach recommended BP levels.(7) The number of people with high blood pressure is expected to reach about 1.6 billion worldwide by 2025.(8)
Patients Older Than 75
A sub analysis of the trial found that 82.5 percent and 67.5 percent of patients over age 75 treated with BENICAR and BENICAR HCT(R) were able to achieve an ambulatory BP target of <135/85 and <130/80 mm Hg, respectively. Adverse events were also found to be similar for patients above and below 75 years of age.

It's been nagging at me for quite a while--I should get insurance for the bike, especially if I want to leave the state (legally).
Fellow Washingtonians: who do you recommend? Who actually had to "use" their insurance and how was it to deal with the insurer?
I did
And without it woulda been in a rather large financial hole.
Long story short, some uninsured dickwad decided to hit and run on my ass. Totaled the bike and gear (helmet, jacket, pants), shoulder surgeries. I burned every penny of my motorcycle 'Un/underinsured' policy. My auto insurance kicked in to help cover the costs, there were that many $ bills. All because dickwad was late for work and didn't know what the mirrors in the car are for.
I have since upped my policy coverage, $50,000 will go quick when you go under the knife. I look at it this way - $200-300 a year is cheap when you're sitting at home unable to work for 3 months. Knowing the coverage would take care of the bills was worth it.
Regarding dealing with the insurance company, there was good and bad. The adjuster and the bike/gear settlement was very good. The medical/out of work settlement, that was a JOKE. Progressive sucks balls. They fought me every step of the way. I attribute it to the business model of ' Do everything you can to not pay a claim.'
That just my story.
Do you not have any insurance, not even liability? There is no reason for that, I have state minimum liability on one bike, it is $15 per year. My other bike has full coverage with $100 deductible for $110 per year. I have never made a claim so I can't say how it is to deal with the insurance company in that regard.
Are you talking a dirt bike or a street bike? If street, then of course the answer is YES! Liability insurance is required for street bikes and protects the rest of us.
Wow, I had no idea!
You dont need to have insurance when you operate a vehicle registered as any of the following:
The state of Washington does not require insurance on motorcycles. Just realize that it's your own assets and life at risk. I believe that all surrounding states require insurance.
Three bikes with Allstate.
I have and have used Nationwide. I have had to use them for a motorcycle and a car accident. They did great both times.
maybe WA lets us ride without insurance, but it's illegal to wreck without it:lol3
Two words: State Farm
Paging Tod701
You may be able to ride in Wa. without insurance but don't cross the border. Even if you live elsewhere, Oregon requires insurance to ride here.
I use AAA insurance. They use Progressive for my bike.
I have also used GMAC for my bike. It was cheap at the time.
Progressive is cheaper now.
Look at AAA, they are more than maps & towing. I have saved considerably on everything insured with them.
I have also learned not to underinsure. I was broken up pretty good and needed more coverage (not to mention the people that hit me were underinsured also).
Its your risk... You feeling lucky?
Any way I have ins on 3 dual~sports for way less by switching from where I was[for 35 yrs].:D

"We ordered these address labels in "Taffy" for our RSVP's. When they came they looked so fantastic! They made an otherwise plain envelope look classy with a nice pop of something extra! If I need any more, I would definitely order these again!"
"These are very nice and I recieved a number of compliments on them. The size is just a bit larger than I expected, but the color is clear and the quailty of the paper is very nice. Would definitely recommend to a friend."
"Wonderful product! Chose custom color, which was darker to match the invitations. I like how striking it is with little darker color and white lettering. Only thing is that these do not come in a pearlized white paper because they a sticky label product (I was told). They print just slightly brighter than the invitation color, but it's very slight and I'm probably the only one who noticed it. Overall, loved them!"
"This address label is perfect. It has a great design, quality sticker, Easy to use. I chose the orange color and was worried since I wouldn't get to see it before hand, but it was very true to what I expected. The best part is that once I got it I realized 1) I had put the wrong city on the addres, and 2) that the last page of the labels and not printed correctly and had an ink link through the whole sheet causing them to be unusable. I contacted customer service, mentioned both problems and they immediately mailed me another full order of the labels with the corrected address. Great customer service!"
"These addresses labels are very good quality, but they were bigger than I expected. I think they are a little pricey, but they are definitely nice."

all these reviews from 'pro gramers' and 'mmo veterans' are so annoying. it is like you guys dont want a new game to besuccesfull. that same sort of reviews were made about rift. i played wow since vanilla and i still dont see the 'clone' u idiots speak of. omg skill trees 'wow clone'. skill bars 'wow clone' are just a couple of examples. there is no such thing as a polished game no more. the days of nintendo 64 releasing a game with no bugs at all are gone. ive come to learn that if i do the opposite of all the wow fanbois and negative nay says i tend to actually enjoy a game and realize they retarted and wrong.
this just in: FPS PRETTY MUCH USE THE SAME CONTROLS EVERY GAME. If something works why change it. the only thing that has changed with fps is that instead of using the arrow keys like in doom and doom 2 you use keyboard and mouse now.
in fact stay in wow with ya single button macro to do everything noob shit. i dont want to play with QQ babies

This thread blew up. I guess if you want people to reply you need flameworthy content.
To the OP: I agree with a lot of what you are saying. Actually, some of your ideas are pretty good to be honest. If these IP's didn't take so effing long and require so much time and dedication, I'd say MAYBE you should be calling the shots on a game suh as this.
The MMO genre has *barely* evolved in any way shape or form since WoW. It was successful, and thus, companies like BioWare want to copy it to copy the level of success WoW had. For some reason, what they don't understand, is that there is a potentially gigantic number of the MMO populous who would like to see the next step in the MMO world. BioWare/EA had the money to do it, and yet the chose to play it safe, VERY VERY safe, as safe as they possibly could by creating WoW 2.0 on a platform that just about every geek loves.
Smaller start up companies are the ones who are making the biggest leaps and bounds in terms of MMO-innovation, but because of their lack of funding and following, and most always crippled by launch statistics, things aren't going as smoothly as they should be in terms of the MMO-evolution we are so desperately waiting for.
Perhaps we will eventually get lucky and a big company with the right amount of money to invest will put it into making the next best thing. Until then, if we want to continue our online roleplaying game addiction, we are stuck sifting through titles like WAR, Rift, ToR, playing them for a few months and then moving on to the next one that pops up. It's kind of sad. I like SW:TOR and I think it has a shit ton of potential but it's up to BioWare to fulfill that potential. Whether or not they will do so at all, we will have to wait and see. But THUS far, the product being delivered to us is exactly what we knew it would be all along. WoW 2.0 in space, with lightsabers. I had fun in WoW for a while, so I know i will get SOME fun out of this game. And then I'll move on, assuming drastic changes are not made that I would like to see.

If you have an opinion then discuss it with the intelligence that you were given and not on the bloated idea of your self importance. No one cares about your war time service more then you so get over that. Just some advice from a guy whos been playing army for 15 years and decided long ago that what I did on my tours is my own personal thing and no one else has the right to know what I went through (except my battle buddies).

A "WoW" clone? I think not. Of course, all of these "truth's" people are throwing out are very subjective. Keep in mind your opinion isn't the truth to everyone since of course it is an opinion after all.
As far as a wow clone goes, yes there are some things that are very similar. It has characters, story, levels, professions and what not. If that makes it a wow clone, then I guess it's really an ultima clone, or maybe meridian 59 (or whatever the name of that game goes). Is any iteration of call of duty suddenly a wolfenstein or doom clone because they share the same basic framework?
My tastes are quite different these days. I dislike WoW. Not because it's a bad game. It's in fact, a very good game. I'm tired of WoW as I think many other people are and that is the biggest reason many bash it. People on these boards act like Bioware ripped of Blizzard's code, reskined it and slapped the SW:ToR name on it. It's hardly that. Honestly I don't feel it plays or acts anything like WoW (basic combat/character development aside).
Honestly it's a great game and I think a lot of people will like it. I know I'll be spending a great deal of time on it and I look forward to the expansions it will have. Not everyone will like it but again, it's all subjective to the person who's going to be paying for it.

Forum ranks are useless.
Im sorry but i find your review too much agressive and not very realistic, also the lack of wisdom on it is very obvious, im not complaining on the review itself but how you did it, im almost convinced that you can do it better though.
To the OP:
----> That way to Guild Wars 2. The Themepark game that is actually trying to move the themepark MMOG out of the darkages that is the WoW paradigm. Sure it still has the look and feel of the themepark (levels, classes) but besides those it is finally bringing freedom and choice to the themepark MMOG.

My main problem is that we are only going to get one Star Wars MMO for at least the next decade, and instead of something really innovative and new, we get a literal cut and paste copy of WoW. Oh, wait I'm sorry, they added ranged tanking. So I can tank from 10 meters way instead of 1 meter away, so that makes my claim completely invalid. lol
I guess there's never any hope for these big IP's. They will always be given the safe treatment so they can cover royalties to Lucas the Hutt.
Oh, and lol at the guy named SgtAirborne who is pissed at me mentioning my recent deployment. Irony much? I demand you change you change your screen name. How dare you bring your military service into the gaming community! lol

Hehe, how does this extremely negative review of the game get 10 pages of replies and my well thought out post gets no replies? I took ages over my review and it's dropped to page 4 with no replies in less than half a day. Anyway.
As for this guy's review, well I'm not even sure he played the same game as I played this weekend. I don't remember being asked to kill a bajillion of something. I don't even remember being asked to kill 50 of something. I thought Bioware handled the questing very nicely. Nothing I was asked to do ever came across as a kill 5 or fetch 5 type of quest that is so familar in a dozen dozen MMOs. There were instructions to kill 10 of something but it was an optional add on and you were nevr required to do so. I actually found that I was fullfilling those tasks easily in the course of reaching my story based objectives.
Story based is exactly what the questing in SWTOR was. It was like one big epic quest that started at level 1 and will finish at whatever level SWTOR calls max. I always felt like I was doing something to further my character.
Ok in some ways I find myself wishing that SWTOR was as open as SWG, but I've barely scratched the surface of the crafting. I have a feel it can be as much a part of my character as it was for my SWG time. The world is perhaps not as open as what I remember in SWG, and there is certainly no housing or player cities. There is your ship though, but I haven't gotten that far in beta.
I think I saw someone hit the nail on the head earlier when they said this is a sandbox loving guy after a game to satisfy his needs. He's looking in the wrong place because I don't think Bioware have ever suggested they are making a seriously open game. I don't really like the terms sandbox and themepark because there is far too much overlap in the genre to really classify so narrowly. If I had to put SWTOR in a category it wouldn't be sandbox though. Very few games would be sandbox, or especially the depth of sandbox that the OP is after. He should perhaps be playing something such as Xsyon. Yes, I know it's a poor game with a small audience, but that's often what you get for such a narrow frame of wants from a game.
He certainly shouldn't be coming here and listing a whole page of complaints that a game doesn't have what he wants when that game never really appeared to be likely to provide that. It's like buying a sandwich from a vegetarian cafe and asking why they don't have ham. You'll get told you've come to the wrong place. At least he was constructive, even if he was angry, but that's besides the point in his case.
All hail the Pixel, for it is glorious Orange!

Some of us are sick of eating lettuce on rye every meal, and calling it "le lettuce au rye" doesn't change the fact that it's still lettuce on rye. I want to walk into the vegetarian sandwich shop and see lettuce on rye, tomato on sourdough, tofu burger on wheat and lots of options. Not the same thing renamed time and time again.

You knew this was themepark. You knew you did not like that fact, but you did not do enough research to back up your rant. and ended up with some very incorrect facts. You like sandbox and you think everything should be sandbox. You are entitled to that opinion. You have fun now.

What a great review!
The funny thing is, this is hardly even a sandbox vs linear game issue... The game could have addressed all of the OP's concerns without even being a sandbox. Maybe slightly less linear, but thats it.
He wasn't asking for player cities, elaborate crafting systems, housing, player driven economy, conquest, scripting, or freeform skilltrees. For the most part he is just sick of the same old classes, etc.
And anyone who is saying the contrary is foolish.

Did you get to coruscant with a republic char? Because the 'bonus' missions on there (and every planet thereafter) are outragous and do boil down to 'kill 60 more of x enemy'. It's called a 'bonus' mission but you have to do them or you fall behind the leveling curve in your story if you don't. Also past level 20 your personal story goes dramatically into the background. Where as the first 20 odd levels it's about 4/1 missions/story missions but after that it becomes much less important. You can do dozens of missions between every single story mission. It kinda sucks. I really enjoy the story but after 20 it almost becomes the games background.

LMAO that is a fantastic analogy of what is wrong with themepark MMOGs these days. They are all lettice on rye with different names. TOR does nothing to change that fact besides things like companions and that you listen to people talk instead of reading a block of text.
For me, GW2 is the vegetarian restaurant that finally realized tomato on sourdough could be just as good as lettuce on rye, if not better.

I know that's gotta hurt that not everyone shares your OPINION (notice the difference between opinion and fact), but you'll eventually get over it.
I don't fault people for not liking the game. I fault people who think that their opinion is the only one that matters. Considering millions of people will be enjoying this game, that's obviously not the case.

Gallinari's knee injury appears not that serious
Jan 3, 2011, 11:52 AM EDT
When the Pacers' Brandon Rush fell and rolled into the knee of the Knicks' Danilo Gallinari Sunday afternoon it didn't look good. You saw Gallinari's knee bend awkwardly, you saw him go to the floor and soon limp into the locker room.
What you didn't see was later, when he was walking out of Madison Square garden with barely any limp. Gallinari told Chris Sheridan of ESPN he didn't think Monday's MRI would turn up anything all that serious.
"I think I will play (on Tuesday). We were not talking about that after the game, because right now I still have the adrenaline going, and a lot of pain goes down when you have the adrenaline going," Gallinari said. "It was not feeling the feelings you feel when you break something."
Don't be surprised if Gallinari misses a game or two, but it doesn't sound like the MRI is going to show a serious injury where he would miss significant time. Which at the time of the injury seemed very possible. This is a break for the Knicks.

Watching the game yesterday it looked very bad. Luckily it seems to be only a strain. The Knicks aren't in position to be without ANY of their key players especially Amar'e, Ray or Gallo. Hopefully Walsh sees this as a sign to add much needed depth to the roster. While Dantoni uses this opportunity to give the bench ie Randolph, a chance to contribute. P.S. any word when Azu will be returning? His shooting and defense will be key for the Knicks in the coming weeks.

Followed the videos and various instructions to take out the screws holding the top, then the screw holding the front. Tip the control panel back. WARNING, it can distort when you bend it back which makes reassembly hard. Pushed drive belt back and removed drum. Easy accress to the heat coils but to get them removed you have to remove the coil assembly circular plate. GE was nice enough to bend small tabs on connections, so those have to be bent back for removal. Okay , wise people, you cannot thread the new coils thru the insulator blocks unless you bend the tabs back AGAIN, who thought that out? Not difficult by any measure. Put the coil back in the machne, slide the drum back on and uh oh, how do you get the belt (replaced because I was there, diid not have to put in a new) back on the drum and drive? Make sure you see the video and note the need to use the rear access panel whoich you did not need to remove earlier. Very clever, the idler has alocked position against the motor housing and when you put the belt & drum back in the machine, just reach thru the access port, put the blet around the motor pulley and zap, release the idler tensions the belt and you are done. Subtle but easy. Put the front and top back on, argue with the top because it has distorted the control panel, and you are done.

By CARL SMITH
Is OCH Regional Medical Center positioned to deliver expanded, quality medical services for the future?
The answer depends on who you ask.
District 2 Supervisor Orlando Trainer says a transaction could place OCH in control of a health care system with the ability to provide more future resources than the hospital and the county can supply; however, OCH trustees say previous investments, including a voter-approved $27.5 million bond issue, readied the county hospital for future challenges.
Health care quality is not the only variable in limbo with a potential transaction. Hospital jobs, county tax rates and potential economic development keys also hang in the balance while both sides of the issue claim positive and negative results of a transaction.
If the hospital is sold, OCH administrators say there are no guarantees a bottom line-driven owner will not cut job numbers; however, Trainer points to evidence presented Monday by Richard Cowart, Baker Donelson's Health Law Department chairman, saying covenants can be established to preserve employment and, in some cases, job numbers increased dramatically after a transaction.
While no one can be sure how jobs could be impacted after a sale, a millage adjustment would occur. State law dictates any public hospital debt must be dealt with in a transaction. Roughly six mills would come off county tax rolls, which would save the county approximately $1.8 million per year. If a transaction brought in more than the hospital's total debt, state law dictates the remainder can be deposited in the county's general fund and used for any lawful purpose.
Trainer, a self-described champion of infrastructure, said the use of any possible financial flexibility would not be determined by one supervisor. No specific plans have been developed to spend money since supervisors do not know how much the hospital could fetch in a sale, nor if a transaction is even recommended, he said.
"What we can do is limited to what three members (a voting majority of the board) want to do for the county. We can't determine anything now, but it's only logical and fair each supervisor develops proposals for projects after bonds are paid off if a sale even occurs. Right now, it's hard to spend money you don't have," Trainer said. "Each supervisor is capable of developing that kind of plan. Some may say leave it as a tax break … while (retired mills could allow) … an investment in county education. Education and infrastructure — anything that provides a positive impact and return to quality of life — can be looked at. You could even invest some of the money (like Lowndes County after its transaction) and use the interest to service other bonds, projects and community economic development."
But why entertain the notion of a transaction? Trainer says his perspective is simple: The hospital came to taxpayers for a bond once. As operation costs continue to rise, will officials have to repeat the action for future expansion or to develop new services? Can taxpayers continue to support the hospital?
"I don't think (the hospital) can (cover future investments). The cost of business and the cost of salaries are all going up. They won't be able to fund raises and buy equipment while tending to expansion needs," Trainer said. "I think our community is a community all about being at the forefront and being leaders. (A transaction could) put us in a position to provide the things we can't now and aren't projected to."
Four current OCH Board of Trustees members and previous hospital administrator Arthur C. "Sonny" Kelly agree previous investment projects — the last general obligation bond passed by the county and other private revenue bonds obtained by the hospital — developed the hospital into a quality health care provider and poised it for the future's challenges. A hospital transaction could very well shuffle the board of trustees and replace them with a new owner's choices, but Cowart's presentation stated previous covenants allowed a split corporate-local oversight group.
Trustees Jimmy Linley, Leon Mathis, Glenn Mullins and Fenton Peters all said a future public bond need is highly unlikely in the coming years. The trustees also said county supervisors have not approached them with complaints about the hospital's current quality of health care, but meetings with individual supervisors were held in the past month.
"What we've got in our plans … we don't have anything to lead me to believe we'll come back to supervisors for more bondings. Right now, (future plans include) fine tuning what we have now and recruiting doctors," Peters said. "We're trying to accommodate public need for any areas we feel we have."
Linley, the board of trustees' chairman, said the hospital bond's passage reflected a desire for this community to invest in health care.
"We didn't have to go to the public to ask for tax dollars to help fund the expansion. What we did was what the people in this community were talking to us about every day. They wanted different things, including bigger rooms and better services. What we did was put a plan together and put it out to the people. The people voted overwhelmingly to (pass the bond)," he said. "Sometimes people forget we are a community-based, community-owned hospital. We move to the dictates of the community. It was not like we did something where we went to the community and said, 'You have to vote for this.' Oktibbeha County Hospital's expansion put ourselves in a position not only to survive, but also to grow and expand services."
Kelly, who retired as the hospital's chief administrator in February after a 38-year career with OCH, said the hospital's niche and community-oriented services allow it to serve its residents and the area differently than other major health systems in the area. He said it's unfair for one supervisor to challenge the hospital's financial condition when its mission is community-focused health care and not the financial bottom line.
"If (administrators) wanted that hospital to make a lot of money, they can do that. If we had not built these facilities, we would not have had a dog's chance to bring in good qualified physicians. The number of doctors we have recruited in the last 10 years is phenomenal. (In other communities, some specialists) are as hard to find on teeth and a chicken." Kelly said. "We are sitting like a rock in the middle of a stream between major (health care) systems. We're not jealous of anybody. If you take it on the scale of your niches, we do as well or better than anybody. When you have a supervisor come up and say we can improve it, how do they know? For anybody to tell you OCH is in a weak financial position, they absolutely don't know what they're talking about."
The board of supervisors has taken no official action further than seeking proposals for a financial analysis. Following an analysis, supervisors could seek potential suitors to purchase or lease the hospital; however, the final decision on a transaction probably will be made by Oktibbeha County citizens.
Frank Davis, an OCH supporter, said he and other grassroots volunteers have collected almost 800 public signatures against a possible hospital sale or lease. According to state law, if 1,500 registered voters' signatures are collected, a potential sale would be moved to the November general election's ballot.
"If this thing comes to a vote, I feel extremely sure the public will vote down the three supervisors (who approved a sale or lease)," Mullins said. "I think the public knows what it has in OCH. The hospital, I believe, will stay in the people's hands after November."

Medium term planning
Medium term planning
I am in the last 3 days of an mdrol cycle. Currently up about 10 pounds and a bit leaner so pretty happy.
That leaves me at about 180 or so pounds and about 12% BF. My longterm goal is to get a ripped 196 pounds.
Following pct and a break, I am thinking about running a cycle again in January. I am either going to run mdrol again (although I have M1T and would consider trying it instead) to try to add the extra weight or try cutting, then run a cycle to add mass.
Am I best going for mass first then cutting? Any thoughts on whether i should run mdrol again or give M1T a pop? I've read M1T can give pretty significant games but is very toxic.

PORTLAND - Since 1969, Canopies Unlimited on Southeast 82nd Ave. in Portland has sold truck toppers to hundreds of satisfied customers.
When the business changed hands lat year, problems popped up. So many that the business closed its doors according to a note left on the door.
With those doors closing, KGW s Unit 8 discovered dozens of unhappy customers who said the company owes them hundreds, even thousands of dollars.
I m out $1,150, said Duane Bernard from Rainier.
I gave her $600 down not Visa, cash right on the table, said Warren Shifflette from Vancouver.
$600 is what I m out, said John Schulz from Fairview.
All of these gentlemen said they gave their money up front to the daughter of the man who used to own the company, Paul Schunk.
While Tamra Schunk changed the name to Canopy Girl Unlimited LLC, it was still doing business as Canopies Unlimited LLC.
We have 11 complaints on file and show the business is no longer in business, Better Business Bureau spokesperson Kyle Kavas, said.
But as of Friday afternoon, the company website was still up with nothing about closing it s doors and appears to be still taking orders.
If you put money down with Canopies Unlimited you should file a formal complaint with the Oregon Attorney Generals office.

Good morning all! I am wondering how many of you have knitted the Spectrum tam...and what if any, yarn substitutions you may have made. I have fallen in love with this hat, but the yarn required is a big hit to my pocketbook! Please share what yarns you may have used, as well as colors. I'm thinking about the possibility of doing the hat in varying shades of one color as Kathleen suggested. Thanks! Lisa :)

"I am the owner of 8 condo units in Lakeside and Edgewater condos. Both condo associations are side by side and identical.

The complexes are also convenient to major tourist attractions like the beach and the theme parks. You will find my unit to be an excellent choice for your vacation or local visit. We have taken pains to decorate in a bed and breakfast fashion and to equip the unit with all that you will need for a successful stay...cable TV, WiFi, full equipped kitchen, digital telephone with unlimited calling in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, etc."

Hi, my name is Esther.
Also a single, straight female non-smoker. Not a drinker or party animal.
Only looking to get away for the week of 5/24 to 5/31/09 on a cruise for singles called Carnival Legend.
Leaves Tampa, Florida to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize and Roatan,Honduras.
Please let me know if you are interested.
I am a non-smoking, light drinking 57 year old straight woman, looking to leave in May. My preference is Southern Caribbean from San Juan for 7 nights, leaving May 10th. I had considered a Mediterranean cruise, but there was a huge earthquake in Italy a couple of days ago, which killed a lot of people. Since there may be after shocks, I have decided to avoid that area. That's why I'm thinking of Southern Caribbean. The cruise I have in mind stops at a different island every day, so it should be quite interesting. Also, I'm a very young (in spirit and attitude) 57, but because of my age we'd be eligible for the senior discount on some ships.

Gelson Fernandes is delighted with his first months at Manchester City.
The Swiss midfielder was recruited by Sven Goran Eriksson from FC Sion over the summer.
He had to wait to be given his chance in the Premier League but now has three successive starts under his belt and looks set to line up against Tottenham on Sunday.
Fernandes maintains that he never had doubts about his move to Eastlands, having been an avid fan of English football since his youth.
"I always make my own decisions and do what feels right in my heart," Fernandes told the club's official website.
"Whether or not I like the country or the kind of football was always going to play a big part in choosing where I moved to and when City came along, I knew this was the move for me.
"I love England and English football, which I've always watched and loved since being a kid, so I am very happy to be a Manchester City player."

|Effect of refrigerant spray on orthodontic composite resin-bracket debond strength and associated adhesive remnant index
|Gossett, Lauren Ashley
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|This study evaluated effects of refrigerant spray and crosshead speed on orthodontic composite resin shear debond strength and Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) after bond failure. Orthodontic brackets were bonded to forty paired extracted mandibular third molars. Pairs were divided into experimental and control groups, with and without refrigerant spray prior to debond, respectively. Each group was further divided into two subgroups based on crosshead speed of 1 or 10 mm/min. Bracket shear debond strength was tested with a universal testing machine and ARI scores assessed. Results showed no statistically significant difference for shear debond strength or ARI score as a function of refrigerant spray usage. Statistically significant differences were shown for shear debond strength and ARI score as a function of crosshead speed. As crosshead speed increased, shear debond strength and ARI score both increased. These results indicate that application of refrigerant spray prior to bracket debonding is not beneficial.

Keyshia Cole - Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away)
Artist: Keyshia Cole
Producer: Amadeus
Album: Point of No Return
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 4 votes )
Featured on our front page just yesterday, the first single off Keyshia Cole's sixth studio album found her threatening to "slap a b*tch like Rick James" in response to her partner's infidelity. One day later, the pop songstress's fury has largely subsided, giving way to the sad realization that "the love [they] had is gone." On single numero dos, Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away), she ruefully shuts the door on the man in question, telling him, "I miss you but I can't, can't do this no more." As she struggles with the decision to walk away, producer Amadeus accompanies her behind the boards, backing her vocals with sharp snares and warm synth harmonies. Featuring this poignant jam and much more, Cole's next full-length currently lacks both a drop date and a title. Fans can, of course, keep it locked for the latest singles and release details.

MANILA, Philippines–Malacañang on Thursday said President Benigno Aquino III's order renaming the waters within the country's exclusive economic zone as West Philippine Sea would not require the amendment of the Archipelagic Baselines Law.
Signed by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2009 and upheld by the Supreme Court last year, the Archipelagic Baselines Law defines the borders of the Philippines, but does not cover the Kalayaan Island Group in the Spratly archipelago and Panatag Shoal (Scarborough Shoal) in the West Philippine Sea.
The law classifies those islands that the Philippines disputes with China as a "regime of islands" in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos).
On Sept. 5, Aquino signed Administrative Order No. 29 renaming the waters in the Luzon Sea and the waters "around, within and adjacent to the Kalayaan Island Group" and the Panatag Shoal as the West Philippine Sea.
Those areas are recognized as the Philippines' EEZ under the Unclos.
It is not clear, however, whether the Kalayaan Island Group is within the West Philippine Sea. The Palace has yet to determine whether those islands in the Spratlys that the Philippines claims are within its EEZ.
Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda pointed that out in a briefing for reporters at the Palace on Thursday. Renaming the area West Philippine Sea is a "regular step" for the Philippines in the exercise of sovereignty over what has always been its territory, Lacierda said.
Aquino's order notes that as provided under the Unclos, the Philippines has sovereign rights "to explore and exploit, conserve and manage the natural resources, whether living or nonliving, both renewable and nonrenewable," of the waters within its EEZ.
So, Lacierda said, there is "no need to amend the Archipelago Baselines Law."
Renaming the waters within the Philippine EEZ reinforces the country's claim to the Kalayaan Island Group in the Spratlys and the Panatag Shoal off Zambales province, Lacierda said.
The EEZ within the West Philippine Sea extends 370 kilometers from Philippine shores. Beyond that distance, the sea is known in Vietnam as East Sea. Up north, the waters are called East China Sea.
But China calls all those waters South China Sea and claims nearly the entire area, including parts of it claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan.
Lacierda acknowledged that the Archipelago Baselines Law did not cover the Kalayaan Island Group. He said, however, that the chain was still part of Philippine territory under the regime of islands principle in the Unclos.
But reporters asked him: Is the Kalayaan group within the West Philippine Sea?
"That's one thing that we're verifying," Lacierda answered.
"In fact, the President also mentioned that he is going to verify if the Kalayaan Island Group was part of that. So we're looking at it," he added. "We're still verifying what part[s] are the disputed islands, [what parts are within] the West Philippine Sea."
Later, Lacierda said in a text message that the order could not affect the Archipelago Baselines Law since an executive order cannot amend a law.
Asked during the briefing what had prompted the President to issue the order, Lacierda said the administration felt the use of the name West Philippine Sea should be "formalized" through an administrative order since governmental agencies were already using it in official discussions.
Noting that Taiwan had opposed the renaming of the Philippine EEZ, Lacierda said the other claimants should not see the Philippine decision as a provocation, as the country was not claiming the entire sea.
