Rangers beat Caps 5-0 in Game 7 to reach 2nd round
While Callahan did have 16 goals this season, the other four Rangers who put pucks past Braden Holtby on Monday combined for a total of only 14.
"You need your third and fourth lines to get some goals to win games," Asham said, "and it was proven tonight."
Also made clear: Lundqvist gives the Rangers a chance to win every game. From the moment Mike Ribeiro's overtime goal gave Washington a Game 5 victory, Lundqvist was simply superb.
The Swede stopped all 62 shots he faced in Games 6 and 7, showing exactly why he won the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goalie last season and is a finalist this season.
"In a game like this, obviously you're looking for a great start. I thought we set the tone in the first. You just need a couple of good bounces and we got them tonight. A couple of big goals for us," Lundqvist said. "When we scored the fourth one, I thought, `OK, we got this.' As long as it's three, you never know with (the Capitals). They have so much skill, they can turn it around quickly."
But Washington's offense managed to score 12 goals the entire series - and zero over the final six periods.
Indeed, Ovechkin was held without a point in Games 3-7. The Russian wing led the NHL with 32 goals but he heads into the offseason after the longest playoff point drought of his career. He had a goal in Game 1, an assist in Game 2, and that was it.
"It's very frustrating," said Ovechkin, never past the second round of the playoffs. "That's the whole point: You're here to win the games and try to win the cup."
The Rangers-Capitals finale began only a little more than 24 hours after the shoving- and wrestling-filled end of Game 6, which New York won 1-0 on Derick Brassard's second-period goal. That, of course, was played at Madison Square Garden, continuing the pattern of the home team winning each of the first six games of the series.
That ended emphatically Monday, in a Game 7 so similar to Washington's 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh in 2009, even Ovechkin brought up that defeat afterward.
Another pattern done away with: Games 2-6 between New York and Washington were all decided by one goal.
"Quite honestly, tough to explain," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "It's funny how over the years sometimes the seventh game turns into some form of blowout."
Since the start of the 2008 playoffs - when Washington's core of Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green made their postseason debuts - the Capitals have appeared in nine series, and this was the seventh to last the full seven games.
They're now 2-5 in those, and Ovechkin and Co. have never been beyond the second round. Going further back, to 1985, the Capitals have lost nine series in which the club led either 2-0 or 3-1.
"Nobody is yelling at each other here. Nobody was pointing a figure that it was somebody's fault we (lost) the game. It's everybody's fault," Ovechkin said. "All the guys' fault. My fault. (Backstrom's). It's everybody. It's not about one person or two people. It's about the team."

Don't say "climate"; do say "innovation."
- By Christina Larson<p> Christina Larson is a Beijing-based contributing editor for Foreign Policy. Kevin Chou provided research assistance. </p>
On Wednesday, a fascinating and eclectic group of scientists, journalists, policy makers, and entrepreneurs converged at the "Energy Innovation 2010" conference in Washington, sponsored by the Innovation Technology Foundation and the Breakthrough Institute. Speakers and moderators included the New York Times' Andy Revkin, DOE Under Secretary of Energy Cathy Zoi, MIT's William Bonvillian, Tom Kerr of the International Energy Agency, NPR's Richard Harris, Time's Bryan Walsh, longtime staffers for Sens. Richard Lugar and Jeff Bingaman, and many others.
One thing that immediately struck me was the stark change in tone from recent past conferences: After two years of fairly disappointing outcomes at the U.N. climate summits in Copenhagen and Cancun, and after watching hopes for cap-and-trade or other measures to regulate carbon fizzle in the U.S. Congress, a growing slice of those favoring investment in clean-energy are working hard to ditch the association with "climate," which now seems to many a losing political issue. As the Breakthrough Institute's Ted Nordhaus put it, "We need to free energy from the polarizing climate debate."
Thus, the new framing is that energy innovation is about building a stronger America; it's about leading the next global innovation wave. It's not about creating in the short-term "green jobs" (a term we don't hear so much anymore), but about recognizing that long-term economic prosperity will require greater investment in science and engineering education. (Tom Friedman was not present in person, but clearly in spirit.) And so, the ensuing conversations focused not on temperature targets or sea-level predictions, or even on the imperative of loosening America's dependence on Middle East oil, but largely on trying to sleuth out just what is innovation, where it comes from, and how to nurture it.
Over the last 100 years, America has had a pretty good track record at leading global innovation waves: developing and commercialzing the technologies for the combustion engine, aviation, the telephone, television, computer, and the Internet. How did that happen, and how can we make it happen again? The historic role of generous, sustained funding from the federal government, in particular the Department of Defense, in the early stages of developing the aforementioned technologies was several times mentioned. (Over at Time's Ecocentric blog, Bryan Walsh has posted a chart of government R & D investment over the last 50 years in various sectors, including basic energy research, which many argue is now too low.) The recent policy paper "Post-Partisan Power," co-published by theBreakthrough Institute, Brookings Institution, and American Enterprise Institute, is just one of myriad recent pleas for greater "federal innovation investment," which the authors now calculate at $4 billion and recommend bumping up to $25 billion. Needless to say, it's hard to argue against throwing more money at an important challenge, but also hard to imagine that money materializing in the next two years. But let's say it does. Where and how should we spend it?
One relevant upcoming report will be the International Atomic Energy's global study on green energy investments, which according to senior energy analyst Tom Kerr will look at both comparative national policies supporting basic and applied research and at policy tools to drive adoption of new technologies. When it comes to questions of how to build up a massive solar-panel manufacturing base in five years, we're collectively in awe of China. But when it comes to figuring out how to get utilities and customers to actually adopt new technologies at home, Kerr suggested we might learn more from boring Old Europe.

"People often ask, what is the energy solution?" said Vinayak P. Dravid, one of Kanatzidis' close collaborators. "But there is no unique solution -- it's going to be a distributed solution. Thermoelectrics is not the answer to all our energy problems, but it is an important part of the equation."
Dravid is the Abraham Harris Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science and a senior author of the paper.
Other members of the team and authors of the Nature paper include Kanishka Biswas, a postdoctoral fellow in Kanatzidis' group; Jiaqing He, a postdoctoral member in Dravid's group; David N. Seidman, Walter P. Murphy Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern; and Timothy P. Hogan, professor of electrical and computer engineering, at Michigan State University.
Even before the Northwestern record-setting material, thermoelectric materials were starting to get better and being tested in more applications. The Mars rover Curiosity is powered by lead telluride thermoelectrics (although it's system has a ZT of only 1, making it half as efficient as Northwestern's system), and BMW is testing thermoelectrics in its cars by harvesting heat from the exhaust system.
"Now, having a material with a ZT greater than two, we are allowed to really think big, to think outside the box," Dravid said. "This is an intellectual breakthrough."
"Improving the ZT never stops -- the higher the ZT, the better," Kanatzidis said. "We would like to design even better materials and reach 2.5 or 3. We continue to have new ideas and are working to better understand the material we have."
The efficiency of waste heat conversion in thermoelectrics is governed by its figure of merit, or ZT. This number represents a ratio of ele

A Russian-funded TV channel presenter, who spoke out about the country's military intervention in Ukraine, said she has no intention of going to Crimea despite being asked by her channel's bosses to gain a "better understanding" of the situation on the ground.
Abby Martin, 29, an anchor in the English version of Russia Today, said in a live programme that Russian President Vladimir Putin was 'wrong' to send troops to Crimea, media reported Wednesday.
"Just because I work here, for RT (Russia Today), doesn't mean I don't have editorial independence and I can't stress enough how strongly I am against any military intervention in sovereign nations' affairs," The Telegraph quoted Martin as saying in the programme 'Braking the Set'.
"I will not sit here and apologise or defend military aggression," she said.
Her statement contrasted with the station's usual coverage of the Ukrainian crisis.
Western media often accuse the channel of ignoring a number of human rights abuses in the country.
This is not the first time Martin has taken a strong stand against any government after she previously labelled the US government's version of 9/11 as "propaganda".
"Martin also noted she does not possess a deep knowledge of reality of the situation in Crimea. We'll be sending her there to give her an opportunity to make up her own mind from the epicentre of the story," Russia Today said in a statement.
She, however, later wrote on Twitter: "I am not going to Crimea."

Flexibar & Tennis Elbow Treatment - What does it do?

Is Radial Deviation Part of the Flexibar Exercise?
I just purchased a blue Flexibar to learn how it works and try some exercises. I don't have TE.
When I do the exercise for TE I notice that the exercise causes radial deviation of the wrist -slightly uncomfortable to the wrist - along with the flexion. The demo Thera-Band website shows this same radial deviation at 0:04 & 0:11 sec of the main video.
Inconsistent - the small video in the upper right - girl in the blue top - does not have this same radial deviation but only wrist flexion, which I assume is how the exercise with the Flexibar should be done. Also, the instructions received with the Flexibar show this same exercise and girl in the blue top, no radial flexion.
If I move my arm out to the side I can almost eliminate the radial deviation.
Probably the blue bar is too heavy for my forearm & wrist but I have no problem twisting it. Maybe supporting muscles are weak?
Can any Flexibar users comment on the inconsistent videos regarding the final position of the wrist?

Streisand, Berlin, Bernstein and Spielberg To Be Honored in Philadelphia's "Only in America" Hall of Fame
The American Museum of Jewish History in Philadelphia will honor Barbara Streisand, Irvin Berlin, Leonard Bernstein and Steven Spielberg among 18 inductees into its "Only in America" Hall of Fame, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Each of the honorees, will be the subject of an exhibit and a short video. Inductees were in part selected by a public vote of over 200 luminaries.
Streisand's newest CD, "Love Is the Answer," will be released on September 29. She appeared on Broadway in I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE and FUNNY GIRL, for which she won the Oscar for the film version. She has also won the Grammy and Emmy Awards, a special Tony Award, and is a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honor.
Irving Berlin is widely considered one of the greatest songwriters in history. During his 60-year career he wrote an estimated 1,500 songs, including the scores for 19 Broadway shows and 18 Hollywood films, with his songs nominated eight times for Academy Awards. Many songs became popular themes and anthems, including "Easter Parade," "White Christmas," "Happy Holiday," "This is the Army, Mr. Jones," and "There's No Business Like Show Business." His Broadway musical and 1942 film, THIS IS THE ARMY, with Ronald Reagan, had Kate Smith singing Berlin's "God Bless America" which was first performed in 1938. Berlin's songs have reached the top of the charts 25 times and have been re-recorded countless times by singers including Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, Rosemary Clooney, Diana Ross, Bing Crosby, Frankie Laine, Johnnie Ray, Al Jolson, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald.

By PRIYA MENON email@example.com
AirAsia with its tagline "Now Everybody Can Fly" has launched a new television show, Travelog AirAsia, which will air on TV3 every Sunday evening.
A production of Primeworks Studio, the 13-episode show will be aired every Sunday at 7.30pm starting tomorrow.
Hosting the show is AirAsia's Edd Razhe, the personal assistant to the chairman and deputy chief executive officer of AirAsia group, who was chosen for his vivacious and friendly demeanour.
Edd has had years of experience in the entertainment industry and his personality gels well with the many celebrities who will be seen on the journey to the 13 AirAsia destinations.
Among the destinations are Paris, Hanoi, Jogjakarta, Macau, Hong Kong, Tehran, New Delhi and Guilin in China.
The event was launched at Bangsar Village 2 in the presence of celebrities including Juliana Evans and Elfira Roy. as well as Media Prima Berhad chairman Datuk Johan Jaafar, AirAsia X Group chief executive officer Azran Osman Rani and AirAsia Regional Commercial head Kathleen Tan.
AirAsia chairman Datuk Aziz Bakar said the show was conceptualised for the company's 10th anniversary and would feature places for the average member of the public to visit and enjoy.
"The show will feature places for the average person who cannot afford five-star hotels or places. Edd and the celebrities will also hand out tips that will help travellers plan their holiday," he added.
Media Prima's chief operations officer (Television Network) Ahmad Izham Omar said the idea to produce the show stemmed from the good relationship both organisations had with each other over the years.
"TravelogAsia has its own identity and will help TV3 viewers find out the best destinations and products AirAsia and AirAsia X have to offer," he said.
The first episode will feature Edd and actress Maya Karin in Paris, the city of fashion and will showcase places like the Eiffel Tower, Deauville town, La Valle Village and the King Louise Palace.
"I enjoyed my trip to Paris with Abang Edd and we went to little boutiques and even cycled around the Deauville city," said Maya Karin, who was wearing a suave pair of pants she bought during her trip.
Viewers who are interested in the places featured in the show can opt to book packages via AirAsiaGo.

These are great suspenders. They do what suspenders are supposed to do and they do it well. There isn't much to a suspenders outside of materials and craftsmanship and these suspenders are in no way lacking in those departments. They are velcro and are capable of snagging on thin base layers, but I typically do not have that problem. If it was something you are concerned with you could easily fashion some sort of sleeve to slip over the velcro to deny it access to your other articles of clothing. I would recommend these for anyone looking for an adaptable suspender that does not have any bulky or heavy hardware.
This have a low profile and won't interfere with your pack straps etc. The really BIG plus is the fact that you don't have to worry about your packs hip-belt from pushing your pants down and causing your crotch to sag (crotch of your pants...not your actual crotch...that takes a completely different type of suspenders...trust me). I use them to hold up my softshell pants for snowshoeing in the Adirondacks and I am very pleased. These also allow me to hang wet gear within my jacket to dry them off.

Courage My Love Announce The Becoming North American Tour!
October 09 2013
Band makes New York City debut at CMJ Music Marathon October 16, 2013.
Wednesday, October 9, 2013 - For immediate release
Homeskool Prom Records / Warner Music Canada recording artist Courage My Love are thrilled to announce The Becoming Tour (America and Canada). The 22-date tour kicks off in their hometown of Kitchener, Ontario on November 17/2013 and wraps up in Lansing, Michigan on December 20/2013. The US leg will be the band's first ever tour of the United States since signing with the FATA Booking Agency in the U.S. Prior to the tour, the band will make their official US debut in New York City on October 16/2013 to perform at CIMA's Canadian Blast Showcase at the influential CMJ Music Marathon Festival in front of fans, music industry professionals, college radio tastemakers, bloggers and press from across the country.
On June 11, 2013 Courage My Love released their latest EP, Becoming. Recorded in Toronto with producer Chris Perry, Becoming's 8 songs showcase the band's rip-roaring rock. In July the band graced the cover of Canadian Musician Magazine as "the new breed of Canadian recording artist."
The Kitchener, Ontario-based Courage My Love is led by singer/guitarist Mercedes Arn-Horn and her twin sister Phoenix (drums/vocals). The group is rounded out by bassist Brandon Lockwood. To mark the recording of the new EP, Courage My Love launched the online episodic video series "The (Un) Real Lives of Courage My Love" which is posted on the band's Youtube page
. The series is a fictitious look at the creation of Becoming.
Courage My Love have cut their teeth and built their audience with fiery live performances. They have torn up the stages of a number of key festivals like the Vans Warped Tour, NXNE and Canadian Music Week while playing alongside the likes of Paramore, Tokyo Police Club, The Pretty Reckless and A Day To Remember. Alternative Press Magazine pegged Courage My Love as one of the '100 Bands You Need To Know'. The group's debut EP, For Now, was released in Canada in the Fall of 2011 and in Japan in the Summer of 2012. The Japanese release was followed up by a live showcase in the land of the Rising Sun six months later.
The band have also produced a number of popular broadcast and viral videos (over 3.9 million views on the band's youtube channel) as well as the podcast series, "Homeskool Detention," that can be heard on their website,

The Apple: New Crimson Petal Storiesby Michel Faber
"Enjoy more Sugar ... Take a saunter down Silver Street once more for an early Christmas encounter with the determined heroine of The Crimson Petal and the White, and find out more of what became of her." "In this collection, Michel Faber revisits the world of his bestselling novel, briefly opening doors onto the lives of its characters to give us tantalising glimpses of where they sprang from and what happened to them."--BOOK JACKET.
The Book of Strange New Thingsby Michel Faber
A monumental, genre-defying novel that David Mitchell calls "Michel Faber's second masterpiece," The Book of Strange New Things is a masterwork from a writer in full command of his many talents. It begins with Peter, a devoted man of faith, as he is called to the mission of a lifetime, one that takes him galaxies away from his wife, Bea. Peter becomes immersed in the mysteries of an astonishing new environment, overseen by an enigmatic corporation known only as USIC. His work introduces him to a seemingly friendly native population struggling with a dangerous illness and hungry for Peter's teachings--his Bible is their "book of strange new things." But Peter is rattled when Bea's letters from home become increasingly desperate: typhoons and earthquakes are devastating whole countries, and governments are crumbling. Bea's faith, once the guiding light of their lives, begins to falter. Suddenly, a separation measured by an otherworldly distance, and defined both by one newly discovered world and another in a state of collapse, is threatened by an ever-widening gulf that is much less quantifiable. While Peter is reconciling the needs of his congregation with the desires of his strange employer, Bea is struggling for survival. Their trials lay bare a profound meditation on faith, love tested beyond endurance, and our responsibility to those closest to us. Marked by the same bravura storytelling and precise language that made The Crimson Petal and the White such an international success, The Book of Strange New Things is extraordinary, mesmerizing, and replete with emotional complexity and genuine pathos.From the Hardcover edition.
The Courage Consortby Michel Faber
With his elegant prose and perceptive imagination, the bestselling author of The Crimson Petal and the White creates a unique, self-contained world, where the perennial human drama plays out in all its passion and ambiguity. In these acclaimed novellas, Michel Faber takes on the interior world of inventively crafted characters. "The Courage Consort" tells of an a capella vocal ensemble sequestered in a Belgian chateau to rehearse a monstrously complicated new piece. But competing artistic temperaments and sexual needs create as much discordance as the avant-garde music. In "The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps," a lonely woman joins an archaeological dig at Whitby Abbey and unearths a mystery involving a long-hidden murder. In "The Fahrenheit Twins," strange children, identical in all but gender and left alone at the icy zenith of the world by their anthropologist parents, create their own ritual civilization.
The Crimson Petal and the Whiteby Michel Faber
At the heart of this panoramic, multidimensional narrative is the compelling struggle of a young woman to lift her body and soul out of the gutter. Faber leads us back to 1870s London, where Sugar, a nineteen-year-old whore in the brothel of the terrifying Mrs. Castaway, yearns for escape to a better life. Her ascent through the strata of Victorian society offers us intimacy with a host of lovable, maddening, unforgettable characters. They begin with William Rackham, an egotistical perfume magnate whose ambition is fueled by his lust for Sugar, and whose patronage brings her into proximity to his extended family and milieu: his unhinged, childlike wife, Agnes, who manages to overcome her chronic hysteria to make her appearances during "the Season"; his mysteriously hidden-away daughter, Sophie, left to the care of minions; his pious brother, Henry, foiled in his devotional calling by a persistently less-than-chaste love for the Widow Fox, whose efforts on behalf of The Rescue Society lead Henry into ever-more disturbing confrontations with flesh; all this overseen by assorted preening socialites, drunken journalists, untrustworthy servants, vile guttersnipes, and whores of all stripes and persuasions. Twenty years in its conception, research, and writing, The Crimson Petal and the White is teeming with life, rich in texture and incident, with characters breathtakingly real. In a class by itself, it's a big, juicy, must-read of a novel that will delight, enthrall, provoke, and entertain young and old, male and female.
The Fire Gospelby Michel Faber
Theo Griepenkerl is a modest academic with an Olympian ego. When he visits a looted museum in Iraq, looking for treasures he can ship back to Canada, he finds nine papyrus scrolls that have lain hidden for two thousand years. Once translated from Aramaic, these prove to be a fifth Gospel, written by an eye-witness of Jesus Christ's last days. But when Theo decides to share this sensational discovery with the world, he fails to imagine the impact the new Gospel will have on Christians, Arabs, homicidal maniacs and Amazon customers. Like Prometheus's gift of fire, it has incendiary consequences.The Fire Gospel is an enthralling novel about the power of words to resonate across centuries, and inspire and disrupt in equal measure. Wickedly provocative, hilarious and shocking by turns, it is a revelatory piece of storytelling.From the Hardcover edition.
The Fire Gospelby Michel Faber
From The New York Times best-selling author of The Crimson Petal and the White, Michel Faber's The Fire Gospel is a wickedly funny, acid-tongued, media-savvy picaresque that delves into our sensationalist culture. Theo Griepenkerl, a Canadian linguistics scholar, is sent to Iraq in search of artifacts that have survived the destruction and looting of the war. While visiting a museum in Mosul, he finds nine papyrus scrolls tucked in the belly of a basrelief sculpture: they have been perfectly preserved for more than two thousand years. After smuggling them out of Iraq and translating them from Aramaic, Theo realizes the extent of his career-making find, for he is in possession of the Fifth Gospel, and it offers a shocking and incomparable eyewitness account of Christ's crucifixion and last days on Earth. A hugely entertaining, and by turns shocking story, The Fire Gospel is a smart, stylish, and suspenseful novel.
Middlemarchby George Eliot Michel Faber
"People are almost always better than their neighbours think they are" George Eliot's most ambitious novel is a masterly evocation of diverse lives and changing fortunes in a provincial community. Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfillment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; the charming but tactless Dr Lydgate, whose pioneering medical methods, combined with an imprudent marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamond, threaten to undermine his career; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past. As their stories interweave, George Eliot creates a richly nuanced and moving drama, hailed by Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people".
Some Rain Must Fallby Michel Faber
Michel Faber's short stories are markedly diverse-the voice of each is so distinct that the book reads like an anthology of different writers. But Faber's radically inventive style fastens all fifteen stories into a compelling collection deserving of the high praise it garnered in the United Kingdom. One surreal story, "Fish," projects a futuristic world populated with fish swimming in the air. As sharks hover in abandoned corners and human zealots of the Church of the Armageddon loose their fanaticism on the innocent, it's a mother's full-time job to protect her young daughter. The title story, "Some Rain Must Fall," tells of a substitute schoolteacher called on in a crisis, and as she encourages her pupils to express their feelings, we learn the source of the class's trouble: a devastating act that resonates with contemporary America. As Garth Morris wrote in the Mail on Sunday (London), "these are well-crafted pieces of quiet forlorn intensity in a very real world."
Under the Skinby Michel Faber
Hailed as "original and unsettling, an Animal Farm for the new century" (The Wall Street Journal), this first novel lingers long after the last page has been turned.Described as a "fascinating psychological thriller" (The Baltimore Sun), this entrancing novel introduces Isserley, a female driver who picks up hitchhikers with big muscles. She, herself, is tiny-like a kid peering up over the steering wheel. Scarred and awkward, yet strangely erotic and threatening, she listens to her hitchhikers as they open up to her, revealing clues about who might miss them if they should disappear. At once humane and horrifying, Under the Skin takes us on a heart-thumping ride through dangerous territory-our own moral instincts and the boundaries of compassion. A grotesque and comical allegory, a surreal representation of contemporary society run amok, Under the Skin has been internationally received as the arrival of an exciting talent, rich and assured.

A host of motorcycle riders, and Community EMS rallied at Tracy Park Saturday morning to prepare to escort the body of Pike County native, Justin Helton who was killed recently in Afghanistan. The entourage was also accompanied by the Portsmouth Police Department and Scioto County Sheriff's Office.
Michael Bell, a member of American Legion Post 471 who coordinated the escorting effort of sergeant Justin Helton's body, said he is grateful for the opportunity to honor Helton.
"I had a lot of people from Ashland and Portsmouth and so many different areas tell me that they would like to ride. So I thought, let's bring it together, let's make it organized and everybody ride together. This is extremely special. I am a disabled veteran, so this means a lot to me just to have the honor of escorting this sergeant, that is the best. He is a brother, so this is the best we can do to honor him," Bell said.
According to Bell, Saturday's journey entails a trip to Rickenbacker Airbase by way of Portsmouth and Waverly. The final destination is to be Waverly where Helton's body will be relinquished to Boyer Funeral Home.
"This gathering is to escort sergeant Justin Helton's body back from Columbus to his family in Waverly.We are actually starting here (Portsmouth), and headed to Waverly for an 8:30 mandatory meeting with the Patriot Guard of the Motorcycles of Veterans. They (Patriot Guard) are the lead group, so once they get to Waverly they will have a mandatory safety meeting, and from there it's taken over by the State and the Patriot Guard. Then then they will go to Rickenbacker Air base," Bell said.
Bell also said the group of motorcyclists and law enforcement will also escort Helton's family.
"These bikes will escort the family as well to Rickenbacker, and then escort them back," Bell said.
Bob Neal, second Vice Commander of the American Legion, and Riders Director of the Legion Riders Association, said Helton deserves to be respected.
"This man has given his life, and he deserves respect no matter what his personal beliefs are. He died in combat, and died for this country," Neal said.
John Jenkins, an EMT with Community EMS, said they are glad to be of assistance in the escorting effort.
"Mr. Mike Bell asked us to help escort the motorcycle riders to Waverly. Anytime we get an influx of a large number of motorcycle riders, we try to participate, and be on standby in case something were to happen. You just never know. We are all about safety, and taking care of the community. So, when Mike contacted us we said, 'Sure we'd be here with no problem," Jenkins said. "It means a lot. Without our veterans, we would not have the freedom that we have here today."
He said he would be accompanying the group to Waverly, where MedCare, one of Community EMS's sister companies, would assemble and resume travel with the group.
Motorcycle riders, law enforcement agents from around the state and region, and concerned citizens are expected to form a human barrier around the funeral for Helton which will be held on Monday.

Blog your thoughts and opinions here.
Hey Everyone. The Saviour here with another blog consisting of a fresh perspective and new stuff to read for everyone to enjoy.
Now, before I get started, I had an awesome thought. There might not be enough time to coordinate something like this, but I would like to get together with three or four of the best bloggers on here and do some sort of a round table debate. Sort of like the

Good Day Fanatics of the wrestling world. Welcome to being locked into the Abdominal Stretch, bringing you fresh opinions and perspectives in what's happening in wrestling. I didn't do a Raw post this week because frankly, it sucked and there's not much to say about it. The Miz is buried completely. There's still no real build for Sheamus and Daniel Bryan. The focus seems to be on the top 3 WM matches,
Hey Wrestling Fan-Addicts, The Saviour here with another fresh, new perspective. At least, I think it's fresh and new, as I haven't read anything similar.
In lieu of tonight's Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk match, where I saw Daniel Bryan use the Abdominal Stretch, I've come up with a new name for my JR Style Blog. It will be called The Abdominal Stretch, and it'll be featured on either Wednesday

Hey fans of the squared circle. The Saviour here introducing a new concept that I'm going to do. it's going to be a blog styled like JR's blog that gets posted on here. I'm going to briefly, or at least as briefly as I can, touch on a few opinionated topics. I'm going to do this once a week, around mid-week. This is my pilot for this. Hopefully, everyone likes what they read. If not, I'll kill it

Hey hardcore wrestling fans, The Saviour is here with more fresh, new topics to talk about. I figure after Raw and the live Smackdown, everyone would be giving their Wrestlemania predictions and talking about how great John Cena's promo was...and it was, possibly one of his career best, I'm here to talk about those who have headed down the road to the burial grounds.
When I say burial
Updated 02-22-2012 at 09:24 AM by Frank
Hey sports entertainment fans of the world wide web. The Saviour here with a review of what I found to be a surprisingly very good PPV. Eyes have been opened, cases have been closed, the picture is becoming clearer as we come down the 6 week stretch before Wrestlemania XVIII. There was an equal amount of good and bad and that's what I want to touch on. I'm sure this will bring on a lot of debate
Hey fans of the squared circle, DK Wrestling Savior here with another interesting topic. This is one that I feel is out of the realm of the usual, just like my blogs about the fans.
The list is interesting and I'm going to do what I can to not be so obvious with my list. I'm not going to spend a lot of time trying to add fuel to the already sky high flames of the fire with the John Cena
Hey Everyone. DK Wrestling Savior here putting up something new and different today. I'm going to blog about the IWC. There is a broad range of us and I'm going to do my best to touch on everyone. This isn't going to be negative and I have no intentions of insulting anyone, though I'm sure some feelings will be hurt. There are so many topics, I'm only going to mention the most popular based on comments
Hey Everyone. DK Wrestling Savior here hoping you all had a great weekend. I enjoyed the Superbowl, and like I'm sick of seeing Cena and Orton in the title picture, I'm sick of seeing The Patriots in the Superbowl and was very happy to see The Giants win.
Okay,k let's jump right in as I have a lot of stuff to talk about here. I'll do my best to not jump all over the place.
Hey wrestling faithful. DK Wrestling Savior here with, finally, a report on TNA that is worth writing.
I haven't written anything about TNA recently because, well, it has just sucked. The bleeping out of the "A" word, the holding back and incredibly fake looking chair and chain shots by Bubba Ray Dudley, *yes, I said it*, too much Eric Young and ODB screen time. And everything

In a stunning victory for Fourth Amendment rights and personal information privacy generally, the United States Supreme Court in Riley v California has held that police may not search an arrestee's cell phone without a warrant. This unanimous decision suggests that both the liberal and the conservative wings of the Supreme Court agree that personal information on cell phones (and presumably other mobile devices) is protected under the Fourth Amendment.
The decision arose from two cases—one from California and one from Massachusetts—that raised the common question of whether police may conduct a warrantless search of digital information on a cell phone.
In the California case, David Riley was convicted of attempted murder and assault with a semi-automatic firearm in the San Diego County Superior Court. Local police had stopped him because the registration on his car had expired, but the police also noticed he was driving with a suspended driver's license. They arrested him and impounded and searched his vehicle under San Diego Police Department policy.
In the search, they found a cell phone containing information that connected him with the shooting, for which he was then convicted. The Court of Appeal affirmed the conviction, holding that when an officer is justified in impounding a vehicle, a warrantless inventory search under a standardized procedure is constitutionally reasonable.
On appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court, Riley contended that, although the search and seizure of the cell phone may have been constitutional, the scope of the search didn't extend to retrieving information unrelated to the grounds for the arrest and impoundment. In reversing and remanding, the Supreme Court not only agreed with Riley's contentions but expanded its holding to create "clear guidance" that the police generally may not, without a warrant, search digital information on a cell phone seized from an individual who has been arrested. 2014 US Lexis 4497, *8.
The Court declined to apply any of the warrantless search exceptions to this case and used a balancing test, attempting to determine, on the one hand, the degree to which a cell phone search "intrudes on an individual's privacy, and, on the other hand, the degree to which it is needed for the promotion of legitimate governmental interests." It concluded that "more substantial privacy interests are at stake when digital data is involved" in a cell phone search than merely inspecting the contents of an arrestee's pockets, as is permitted under a warrantless search incident to arrest. The Court also noted that, although the search incident to arrest exception no longer applies to cell phones, the exigent circumstances search exception may still apply to justify a warrantless search.

At least 350 killed, thousands feared dead in Afghanistan landslides
Published on May 3, 2014 12:51 AM
MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan (AFP) - Landslides buried a village in northern Afghanistan on Friday, killing at least 350 people and leaving thousands of others feared dead, as rescuers searched desperately for survivors trapped under the mud.
Villagers at the disaster site in Badakhshan province used shovels to dig through rocks and dirt, with national authorities, the United Nations and the US-led military force all racing to assess the damage and provide help.
Badakhshan governor Shah Waliullah Adeeb told AFP by telephone that the death toll could be as high as 2,500.
"Our initial findings based on local people's reports show around 2,500 people, including women and children, might be dead," he said. "It is difficult to get confirmed information from the scene and we are seeking to determine the facts."
Provincial officials said that two successive landslides hit Aab Bareek village within one hour as a hillside collapsed, engulfing hundreds of mud-brick homes.
Villagers were at Friday prayers in two mosques when they were swamped by a tide of debris, and the second landslide hit many who had rushed to assist those in need.
"The number of deceased has increased to 350," the UN mission in Afghanistan said in a statement. "A response is being mobilised for those who survived but were displaced, with some partners already on the ground.
"(NATO's) Regional Command in the north (is) in contact with the Afghan National Army in regards to search and rescue efforts," said the UN.
Badakhshan is a remote, mountainous province in north-east Afghanistan bordering Tajikistan, China and Pakistan.
It has been relatively peaceful since the US-led military intervention began in 2001, but has seen increasing Taleban activity in recent years.
President Hamid Karzai expressed his condolences to those affected and said immediate action was being taken to save survivors as emergency efforts continued after darkness fell.
Local officials said that the landslides occurred at about midday (0730 GMT) in the Argo district of Badakshan after days of heavy rain. Between 350 and 400 houses were destroyed, they said.
"It is a disaster. The landslide has affected around 1,000 families," Mr Sayed Abdullah Homayun Dehqan, provincial director of the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority, told AFP. "Around 300 families are missing, that could involve around 2,000 people. People are working to remove the rocks, so far three bodies have been recovered."
"Around 700 families were rescued, we have sent in some basic assistance such as tents and blankets," he added.

Jaitley stressed upon Modi government's success in delivering transparent and corruption-free governance along with passage of all bills except GST and Land Acquisition bills. He assured to tax corporate profits at competitive rates and implement new national sales tax in future. Jaitley put his faith on judicial procedure for resolving FII's complaints on unresolved MAT issues. He weighed in favour of simplifying ITR forms.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said that the dual approach of Indian army heavily guarding the LoC with Pakistan coupled with intelligence-backed "targeted kills" against terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir has resulted in 30 per cent drop in infiltration bids and cross-border ceasefire violations. While emphasizing on the fact that the situation along the border areas are "pretty much under control", Parrikar said that targeted kill approach has led to minimum collateral damage and maximum neutralisation of identified terrorists. Defence Minister said in an event that it is immaterial to use soldiers for neutralizing terrorists when it can be done by using other terrorists, thereby hinting at covert operations. Parrikar went on to say that monthly salaries in the range of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15,000 are paid to the terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy, Piyush Goyal, chaired USIBC (US India Business Council) investment round-table conference in Washington DC.

The Reserve Bank of India has made it easier for Indian companies, with overseas operations, to raise funds from abroad in rupees denomination and not in any other currency by relaxing the related rules. Indian corporate entities having offshore operations had to earlier take loans in US Dollar denomination and then convert them to Indian currencies. However, this arrangement included exposure to foreign currency risks. Now, lender abroad will swap currency with banks abroad, which will provide fund in rupees through tapping of a bank present in India and extend money in Indian currency to the borrowing company. A senior foreign banker said that the foreign exchange risk involved in the earlier system will now to borne by the offshore lender.

Ashutosh Sharma, Department of Science and Technology Secretary, said that India's rank (regarding publication of total number of scientific research papers in various journals) has improved from 10th to 6th position, a jump of four spots. Sharma made this statement while addressing an audience at a function organised by Research Council UK. While acknowledging the efforts made by Indian scientists in the recent past, Sharma also acknowledged the fact that India still lags behind China by miles. Available data shows that with respect to 1 million people there are just 160 scientists in India, which is abnormally low when compared to China's 1000 scientists per million population. He went on to say that India has to improve quality and in this quest international collaborations will play an important role.

The Ministry told media that the letter sent from them to IPC CEO Xavier Gonzalez thanked him for his support provided to the para-sports as well as para-athletes despite the fact that the national body of the games in India is banned. The letter also mentions that the para-athletes will be demotivated if they are not allowed to participate in the upcoming games without their national flag. The letter went on to say that in such a case, it will be a huge setback for the Union Government in its quest to promote para-sports in India.
India's test cricket captain Virat Kohli has been named by SportsPro, a renowned British sports business magazine, among the top 10 most marketable sportspersons in the world. His rank is 6th in the list. This places 26-year old Virat in the same league as other world-renowned athletes including sprinter Usain Bolt and football sensations Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar. Another Indian who made it to the top 50 most marketable person list is Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal. She secured 44th rank. The only cricketer who made it to this list is Australia's Steven Smith, whose rank is 45th, one behind Saina. Factors on which the athletes' marketability are judged include charisma, home market, age, crossover appeal, and willingness to be marketed.
BCCI has announced squads for one test match and three one-dayers to be played in Bangladesh from 10 June to 14 June and 18 June to 24 June respectively. Keeping in mind the good performance of Bangladesh cricket team during the World Cup, India has chosen strong teams for both ODIs and test matches. While the ODI team will be led by skipper MS Dhoni, the Test squad will be led by Virat Kohli. Announcement of the teams was done by selector Sandeep Patil and Anurag Thakur, the newly elected BCCI secretary. One of the highlights of the test squad is the comeback of 34-year old 'turbanator' Harbhajan Singh, one of the most reliable off spinners who last played test series back in March 2013 against Australia. Indian pacer Mohammad Shami missed out due to knee injury.
The selection committees, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, met today at PM's residence to appoint the heads of the Chief Vigilance Commission and Chief Information Commission, the key positions that are currently lying vacant for last several months. The decision to fill up the important posts comes after INC President Sonia Gandhi accused Modi government of keeping the CIC post vacant to weaken RTI Act and thereby compromise on containing corruption. The selection committee panel includes Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, MoS PMO Jitendra Singh, and others. Reports say that 12 people have been shortlisted from 530 applications. However, the selection committees failed to select chiefs for the important positions. Sources say that the final decision will be taken in a meeting to be held in first week of June.
The Home Ministry has issued a gazette notification that favours Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung's moves done in the last few days and said that the constitutional post has primacy in both transferring and posting officers. While specifying jurisdiction of Delhi L-G on multiple areas including police, public order, services, and land, the notifications also detailed Jung's powers as well as roles. Central government also said that it is not mandatory for L-G to consult input of CM while appointing key bureaucrats. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal hit back at centre and accused them of betraying people of Delhi by favouring Jung. Kejriwal also accused Union Government of trying to control Delhi Assembly by proxy through Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, in spite of the fact that they have just three BJP MLAs.
The External Affairs Ministry has said that in the current submitted form the passport application of the separatist leader cannot be processed. Vikas Swarup (spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs) told media that the passport application of Syed Ali Geelani was incomplete. The separatist leader submitted the passport application without photographs, biometric details, and fees. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, meanwhile, said that Geelani will be issued passport by the Indian Government only when he writes "Indian" in the passport application's nationality column. Ministry of Home Affairs has made it clear that they have no problem in issuing passport to Hurriyat hardliner Syed Ali Geelani and they will judge the case on merit. However, they also pointed out that the Hurriyat leader has to complete all the formalities related to passport application, just like any other citizen of the country.

From the PublisherThis brief but remarkable book is balanced in its consideration of the history and scope of health care in the US today … Although Schulte (Grand Valley State Univ.) avoids legislative recommendations, this work should have been required reading for every member of Congress and all lobbyists seeking to impose their own, more limited agendas before Congress took up the challenge … Everyone should read this book.
—D.R. Shanklin, University of Chicago, CHOICE, Vol. 47, No. 09
Margaret Schulte provides a concise introduction to the history, issues, terminology and structure of a very complex and often unwieldy industry – healthcare. This book would be helpful for those early in their careers or transitioning in from other industries to help improve quality and processes. I certainly wish I had this guide when I was starting in healthcare.
—Mark Graban, Shingo Prize-Winning Author of Lean Hospitals
Because traditional approaches to health reform aren't working, the business of medical care obviously needs new thinking from skilled professionals who can approach it from fresh perspectives. Many creative problem solvers from other industries would surely relish the opportunity to bring their insights to health care, but first they need to understand the industry and to speak its special language. Dr. Margaret Schulte has written the perfect book to bridge the gap. Healthcare Delivery in the U.S.A. is the resource that outsiders need to join the conversation and start teaching the medical sector lessons it must learn from other industries. The more non-health professionals who read this book, the sooner we'll see efficiency and effectiveness in medical care.
—Jeff Bauer, Ph.D., Management Consulting Partner and Director of the Futures Practice, Affiliated Computer Services Healthcare Solutions, Author of Paradox and Imperatives in Health Care
I wish a book like this had been available when I entered health care. In easy-to-understand terms, Dr. Schulte lays out the components of the healthcare system so those of us who enter can be oriented to the terms and to the various entities we will be encountering. As the level of complexity of the healthcare system continues to increase, books such as this can help us deconstruct the system into understandable components. As we know, in order to improve, we must first understand. Dr. Schulte helps us understand.
—Dean Bliss, Lean Improvement Specialist, Iowa Health System
Selling technology solutions to hospitals is challenging because it requires knowing what's important to different people – patients, doctors, and employees – without any margin for error. Dr. Schulte's book is 'Healthcare 101' for any sales professional striving to understand the healthcare industry. It couldn't be more timely with the new economic stimulus package which includes $20 billion for healthcare IT.
—Linda Ewing, Regional Sales Director, Amcom Software
