I think merging the factions would be a terrible mistake for cryptic, it would force every player to then have to do moral dillema ethical starfleet missions.
I don't personally like starfleet, I hate the rigid silly rules and regualtions.
I hate that there is a whole playerbase dedicated to forcing that rigid silly ethical playstyle on the game.
The best part about playing a klingon, and making klingon foundry missions, is you are never obligated to address the stupid prime directive in every single mission you do.
If they did merge us, that would go away, we would be klingon players playing fed centric storylines and the only difference for us would be the way our ships and characters looked.
That would kill immersion for me personally.
My Klingon is not captain picard with ridges on his forehead, hes a bloodthirsty warrior cutting a path across the galaxy with no time for the weakness of others.
I do not want to merge in the federation and have to start doing missions where I deliver medical supplies, solve diplomatic negotiations and "do the morally and ethically right thing"

LaGRULLA, Texas _ I'm not one to travel long distances for a long period of time. Whenever I need to get to a certain destination I travel by plane. It's fast and easy.
But in order to do my job properly, I had to travel the 2,141 miles from Oregon to South Texas with the Martinez and other migrant families.
To put it in a few words, it wasn't fun.
The first day was all right. I guess the excitement and newness kept me going. But that wore off real fast.
What really got to me _ and quite honestly, got me terrified _ was driving through a snowstorm in Utah. I've never driven through that type of weather before, much less through a canyon. I'm from San Antonio, Texas, where we may get one inch of snow every 10 years.
I had had three hours of sleep after driving 13 hours the day before and then I found myself under horrible weather conditions.
It took about two hours to drive through the canyon near Utah Lake. I also happened to be last car in our caravan. All I kept repeating to myself was, ``You can't stop now. Just keep driving and continue on ahead.'' I also kept hearing one of the last things a friend in Walla Walla said to me the night before I left: ``Be careful, drive carefully and take care of yourself. But most importantly, drive carefully.''
When everyone pulled over to regain composure and to make sure everyone was all right, one of the other drivers practically had to pry my hands off the steering wheel.
I was also in desperate need of a cigarette. But I don't smoke.
It was at that moment that I stopped and looked around and noticed that I was the only woman driver in our group.
There were four men, four women and five children. The men knew how to drive, as did three of the women. Yet I was the only one who ever got behind the wheel. The other women were always passengers.
After we drove through the snowstorm in Utah and later the next day through sleet and icy road conditions in New Mexico, the men would good-humoredly joke about me and how scared I was.
Raul Martinez would even say, ``But you were never scared when you would drive by yourself from Boardman to Walla Walla every weekend. And there you drove at night and went 80 mph.''
He exaggerated a bit, yet I did point out to him that I always drove in good weather conditions.
Only after the men continued joking about me for a while longer did Iris, the Martinezes' daughter-in-law, speak up. ``That was the first time she ever drove in snow and she did it by herself,'' she said. ``None of us (women) have ever tried it.''
That kept the men quiet for the rest of the trip.
Raul's wife, Maria Elena, also kept pointing out to everyone that I drove most of those 2,000 miles without much help.
The Martinezes' son-in-law, Christobal Saenz, did take over the wheel of my car twice: when we got out of the snowstorm because I was too nervous to continue, and once at night because I was too sleepy.
The rest of the trip went by without much mishap, although I did go over a deer that was dead on the road, and a skunk. The smell in my car was unbearable for days, but after that snowstorm I felt I could handle anything.
This trip taught me something about myself: that placed under any conditions or situations, I don't give up.
But what I really wanted to learn was what pushes the migrant workers to such extremes. I didn't learn that, and I don't know if I ever will.
During the preparation of our returning to Texas and while on the road, I learned that they wait until the last minute to do things. And then, they are always in a hurry.
We knew on Oct. 23 that we were going to head home five days later. I had been packed for two weeks. When I returned to Boardman from Walla Walla the Sunday night prior to our departure, I found the families still packing their belongings. It was midnight and things were still scattered throughout the apartment.
So I asked Iris, ``When did you start packing?''
``Today,'' she answered.
Then I asked Maria Elena, ``If you knew for days that we were leaving on Monday, why did you wait until Sunday to start packing?''
``I don't know,'' she said, almost embarrassed. ``Because that's the way we are, I guess.''
Then there was the road trip.
We spent 12- to 15-hour days driving, without much sleep and only stopping once per day for a warm meal. The rest of the time we stopped only to refuel and to ask each of the drivers if they could continue another 300 miles or so.
I understand trying to beat the terrible weather that was heading our way, but there was also their mentality of hurrying to get home.
Christobal had even told me, ``Once we made it from Texas to Walla Walla in two days.'' And he was very proud of that.
So I asked him, ``If you know that you're supposed to start a certain job with a harvest on a certain date, then why don't you prepare yourselves and give yourselves ample time to get there without having to drive such forsaken hours without sleep?''
He too looked at me embarrassed and only said, ``I don't know.''
I asked Maria Elena Martinez the same thing and reminded her that just four months ago her son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren where in a car accident in Idaho as they were heading home to Texas. Her son had fallen asleep at the wheel and their truck overturned.
Maria Elena just stared at me and said, ``I don't know. That's the way all migrants are. But don't ask me why because I don't know.''

"A body in motion tends to remain in motion..."
Ribs and Rib Pain
Rib issues are one of the most common issues patients present to my office with.
They say the pain resembles a "knife or in the back" off to the side of their spine. Often the pain is much, much worse at the end of a deep breath, restricting breathing and causing the characteristic "ice pick in the back" feeling. It's been my experience that more issues occur on the non-dominant handed side, for reasons I can't really put my finger on. (That's chiropractically funny, because we can put our finger on it.)
There are (normally) twelve sets of ribs in the spine, all attached to the thoracic vertebrae, by what we call the costovertebral joint. (costo: rib, vertebral:vertebra) The ribs attach to the vertebrae in two places, one on the body of the vertebra, and once again on its "arms", also called the transverse process. The rib actually connects in many cases to two vertebrae, one half above and one half below. We call this a demifacet, or half joint.
Anyone who has eaten barbequed ribs can describe the anatomy of the ribs there are criss-crossed muscles that form a matrix of muscle between the rib bones. There is a small white structure that lies between them that fires off these muscles; that's called the intercostal nerve.
An upright "normal" posture helps keep the ribs aligned and in position. A flexed posture, or better yet, a flexed and rotated position, forces the ribs backwards and stretches the costovertebral joint resulting with PAIN. Some of my patients note that their pain als has a tingly numbness that can go down their arm, so its easy to see why this can be unsettling . Since rib pain is so intense, with associated numbness in the arm, and many writers think that cases of rib pain, especially on the left side are the reason for up to 40% emergency room admissions, thinking they are having a heart attack. (This is certainly NOT to say that if you are having chest pain with numbness in the arm you should wait to see a chiropractor . if you suspect you are having heart problems, go to the emergency room immediately.)
Fixing the problem:
(You can read the whole thing, or just read the next two sentences )
* A forward curved, flexed, "hunched" posture causes the problem.
* Extension, both globally (over the whole back) and locally (at the point of pain) is the solution.
Computer work is a great way to GET rib problems, especially if you are hunched over at your work station. So is lifting asymmetrically, such as lifting a baby, or.
Chiropractors like me focus on the arm joint, or costovertebral joint on the arms of the vertebra. There really aren't any truly definitive tests for rib problems other than pushing on them to see if they elicit pain, so it often depends on the chiropractor (an unknown quantity, except in our office) you go see for the precision of this method.
Adjusting of the joint is the best way to reduce the pain, but this is a double edged sword, in that the joint is inflamed already and adjusting pushes on that joint, a recipe for pain.
There are a number of things you can do to help yourself out if you have this problem, and they all share one motion : extension.
Extension is bending backwards, usually over something. The bigger the object, the less specific it is. So a physioball is great, but nonspecific. Yoga is even less so. But a foam roller is more specific, and a tennis ball is even more so. Chiropractic adjusting, therefore, is like a laser for its specificity, and really has no compare in treatment.
Unfortunately, rib pain is not something that is miraculously cured on the first visit to a chiropractor. It typically takes three to five visits to get past this, and can be shortened (if the exercises are done) or longer, if the motions that cause the rib to misalign are continued.
Nor is the treatment all that fun, (again, did I mention it hurts?) as the pain from a rib joint can be worsened when moving the bone back into position. Please know that going in, the treatment will not be all that much fun, but will diminish as time goes on, and that by treating the problem, the pain will go away much faster than without treatment.

Bidding Strategies
Auction Types
There are three ways to bid on an item. Bidders may use any method or combination of methods to develop their bidding strategy.
Absentee bidding.
Live bidding on the Internet.
Attending auction in person.
First Time Visitors Must get a User ID and Password. This may be accomplished by clicking the "First Time Visitor" link on any page. After you receive your User ID and Password via Email you may leave Absentee Bids, or bid live in a Live Webcast Auction.
You must Register for each auction individually by selecting the auction on the home page under the Live Auction heading and following the Registration links.
Absentee bids allow registered bidders to submit a confidential maximum bid on an item that will be executed on their behalf. Your bids will start at one bid increment over the current bid and will increase one increment up to your maximum bid. Should the bidding stop before your maximum bid is reached, you will be the successful bidder at the lower bid. Absentee bids can be submitted on any item at any time before it goes to the auction block for live bidding. To leave an absentee bid you must select an auction under the "Live Auction" heading, click on the item you wish to bid on, and enter your bid. You then will be prompted to enter your logon ID and password. Your bid will be confirmed via email. Absentee bids may be placed in the lower section of the live bidders' applet when the Auction is in progress. Please note the auction type you are bidding on.
Click here for auction type descriptions.
Live bidding on the Internet.
Internet bidders may bid against the live event audience in real time as the event is taking place.
To participate select the auction you wish to participate in under the "Live Auction" heading. (When the auction is in progress you will see "live now" displayed as the date).
Enter your logon ID and password to enter the bidders' screen.
Bids may be submitted by clicking one of the three "Bid" Buttons on the live bidding screen. The first button on the left side is the minimum bid the Auctioneer is asking for on site. The middle bid button is the minimum asking bid plus one increment. The bid button to the right is the minimum asking bid plus two increments. Three bid buttons are provided to give Internet bidders every opportunity to get their bids into the bidding process as early as possible. For example: In the typical bidding process, when the bidding first starts on an item there are usually the most bidders participating. As the bidding advances less and less bidders are competing until there is only one, the winning bidder. Therefore an Internet bidder may have a more difficult time placing a bid in the initial moments of the bidding and a better chance as the bidding continues and less bidders are involved. The second and third bid buttons are provided for bidders that would like a better chance of getting their bids acknowledged in the initial bidding for an item. When the Auctioneer is moving at a fast pace an Internet bidder can have a better chance of getting their bid accepted by leading the auctioneer and placing a bid before the auctioneer has reached that amount. If your bid is accepted you will see your logon ID displayed in the "High Bidder" Field and the message field will display you as high bidder. If a bidder onsite is successful you will see "Floor" displayed in the "High Bidder" field. * The bidding process is fast paced.

The makers of outdoor furniture are very much in tune with the uncertain economic times.
Their collections for spring and summer focus on "dazzling color to brighten our moods, plush comfort to ease our tension and increased value to minimize the impact on our wallets," said Jackie Hirschhaut, spokeswoman for the American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA) in High Point, N.C.
Cheerful reds and yellows are key colors for 2010, along with calming shades of leaf green and watery blue.
"And the season's most vivid fabrics provide a dramatic contrast to new bright-white frames that are adding a contemporary twist to traditional styling," said Hirschhaut.
Comfort features include deep cushioning with outdoor foams that resist damp and mildew, along with rocking and reclining
options. New synthetics that look like natural materials add durability to many products.
Lightweight, nonrusting aluminum frames are teamed with materials that look like wood or wicker, but are much tougher.
And several new sofa, bench and swing designs offer "individualized" seats, where each seat can be independently operated to rock, recline or remain upright and stationary.
There is also a trend away from large, traditional pieces, said Greg Donelson, sales and operations manager for Robb & Stucky's patio division.
As more homeowners move into smaller houses and condos, designers of outdoor furniture are responding to the downsizing movement.
"Sectionals are not so overbearing. Styling is more contemporary, with a smaller scale and cleaner lines," said Donelson.
For homeowners wanting to splurge on a single item, he predicts daybeds with canopies will be popular for their "wow factor." Some include a variety of reclining options and even a built-in massage function -- along with solar panels to recharge the battery that operates the mechanisms.
Those on tighter budgets may postpone purchasing entire sets of patio furniture, opting instead for a few new accessories -- outdoor floor and table lamps, planters, silk plants, wall art, shatterproof tableware and pillows.
The quick, affordable way to make an old set of outdoor furniture look fresh, he said, "is with a splash of colorful new pillows."

Real stories of OFWs told in new book
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Jessica F. Napat, who was an overseas Filipino worker for seven years in Saudi Arabia and Dubai, has just released her book "Buhay OFW, Atbp. (Tagalog Edition)."
Napat, a hotel and restaurant management graduate and mother of two, said she wrote the book to correct misconceptions about OFWs.
For instance, she said, they were often accused of acting like they were too rich for their old neighbors when they came home.
But most likely, the real reason for their reluctance to leave the house was because they did not have the money to show for all the years they toiled abroad.
Currently an entrepreneur affiliated with the Alliance in Motion Global Inc., Napat said, through the book, which included contributed stories, she hoped to show people that not all OFWs were rich, arrogant or any of those other bad things they were thought to be.
The paperback edition of "Buhay OFW, Atbp. (Tagalog Edition)," published by Tatay Jobo Elizes, sells for $7.

In May, Sony and Google announced a strategic alliance to develop new Android-based hardware products. The partnership is bearing fruit in the form of Sony Internet TV, powered by Google TV. It seems that most premium new release HDTVs come with Internet connectivity these days but one of the big differences offered by Sony's Internet TV devices is a Dual View feature that lets viewers watch TV and surf the web at the same time.

KITCHENER — Three, two, one ... we have liftoff!
Two new ultrasmall satellites will be launched into near-Earth orbit in a project to be managed by the Communitech technology association, which is pulling together university and private-sector partners for a foray into space.
It is all part of $10.4-million in FedDev Ontario funding that was announced at the Tannery building in Kitchener on Thursday, by area federal MPs Stephen Woodworth and Peter Braid.
Communitech is getting $6.4 million to be the project manager in the creation of an "Intelligent Media Network" cluster of academic and private-sector partners that will be involved in developing the technology for two ultrasmall satellites.
One is a nanosatellite the size of a milk carton that will be incorporated into an existing network of satellites. The other is a microsatellite, the size of a milk crate, to be developed by the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo, along with private-sector partners.
Meanwhile, a Cambridge-based company, exactEarth Ltd., which provides satellite data gathering and processing services, is getting nearly $2.5 million from the FedDev program to further upgrade and commercialize its technology. The company will play a role in the space effort as well.
"We will work with exactEarth to make the investments in academic institutions and with our partners to build out not just the technology, but also the ecosystem that supports it," said Iain Klugman, chief executive at Communitech.
Peter Mabson, president of exactEarth, said the project also opens the door for other software companies to develop applications that can turn satellite data into useful information. This represents a "huge opportunity" to leverage the expertise of the cluster of technology companies in this area, he added.
Mabson said that in the past, satellites that captured marine data from ships in the oceans were in the 80- to 100-kilogram range. But the next-generation satellites being developed are much smaller, which means they are much cheaper to build and get into near-Earth orbit.
"In space, size matters," he said. "What we can do now, in having these powerful payloads on these small satellites, would have been impossible 10 years ago."
Being able to deliver a lot more information for a lower cost means there are many opportunities for companies to create applications to turn that data into useful information, Mabson said.
Mabson gives the example of agencies that might be interested in knowing about the carbon footprint in shipping. The raw data from satellites won't have that information, but satellites can gather data about how fast the ships are moving and on what course. Then, knowing the type of engines on the ships, it becomes possible to build an application that estimates the carbon footprint accurately.
"We will be working through Communitech and its Apps Factory and with local university development teams to develop a lot of these applications that will make use of our data," Mabson said.
Klugman said Communitech has managed collaborative research projects with partners in the past, "but this is the first time we have had this level of support from government." It's also the first time the technology association has gone so far into the frontier of space.
Besides satellite data investments, the FedDev funding also included loans to two other local technology companies.
Dejero Labs Inc. of Waterloo, which makes portable broadcast equipment and software, is receiving a $925,000 loan to help it further develop and commercialize its live broadcast delivery technology. It hopes to generate 15 more jobs.
TribeHR Corp. of Kitchener, a developer of web-based human resources management software, is receiving more than $542,000 in a loan to accelerate the commercialization of its product. It hopes to generate up to 25 jobs as it enters new markets and up 40 new jobs by 2016 in Kitchener.

possible bug
I've encountered what appears to be a bug, but maybe I'm missing something.
I was able to buy quite a few lvl 10 blue quality gear items from the vendors in the main city. Later on, on a different character, I tried to do the same when I hit lvl 10. The gear simply wasn't available from any of the vendors - didn't show in Show all gear or in Show my gear. I checked on my other character, and he couldn't view any of the items either (basically NONE of the lvl 10 blue items from ANY of the vendors showed up).
I suspected maybe a patch changed what the vendors sold, so I had my friend look at the vendors, and he could see all of the items, so he bought what I wanted, then traded it to me. A specific example would be Surestrike dagger - vendor didn't show he had it, but my friend could buy it from him and trade it to me.
I have checked numerous times since this happened, and I still cannot see any of these items, while my friend (and most others, I presume) can see these pieces of gear. I'm wondering what else I'm unable to view from these vendors, I really don't want to have to get someone else to tell me what they see every time I want to buy or simply see what I can buy from these vendors.
Am I missing some setting I may have inadvertently changed that may cause this kind of behavior? Is anyone else experiencing this?
There is a specific vendor that shows you the "best" available gear for your character that can be bought on the auction house, my guess is that's the one you bought the blue gear from. If your level increases, a lvl 14 green will possibly be better than a lvl10 blue, so he will show you a lvl14 green, and so forth.
You were that lonely? You should have children...
You'll never be lonely, plus you get to watch them grow into delicious little angels. - BreakJob
I wish it were that simple. I know the vendor you're talking about. My rogue is still lvl 11, and what's funny is he shows me greens as if the blues don't exist (for me).
I still can't see the items offered on ANY of the other merchants----i've visited each one----and verified with my friend that the items are in fact there.

It probably can't be a coincidence that in the same week rumors surfaced that she'll stay on The View another year, co-host Rosie O'Donnell announced she's laying down her machete in her very loud, very public, and very ugly feud with Donald Trump.
In the last several months, people have jumped on every challenging statement to drip from Rosie's mouth -- whether daring to call into question the solvency and taste of our most perplexingly follicled business blowhard or suggestion racism by the producers of America's most cherished and holy institution (American Idol). Rumor had it that View boss Barbara Walters was displeased with her new hire, even hated her. Elisabeth Hasselbeck found herself on the other end of a Rosie rant and started crying a lot. Web site and magazine polls eagerly asked readers if Ro should go, and the answers trended toward yes. So why bring her back? Two words: ratings and publicity, both of which The View garnered in spades over the last year.
But now the confluence of her new contract and her surprising attempt to take the high road with Trump have us worried the producers have convinced Rosie to dilute herself. And we can't be the only ones with the fervent hope that's not the case.
Although at this point Rosie is basically a semi-professional bullhorn of brouhaha -- seriously, for a while there, if you sneezed wrong you risked an on-air anti-you diatribe -- our view of her is largely sympathetic. We like Ro. Sure, we see why some people think she's a defensive windbag so powered by her own hot air that it's a wonder she hasn't lifted off and Jules Verne'd herself around the globe. But we find her constant need to court controversy quite entertaining, not to mention highly understandable, based entirely on our own very scientific theory about why she can't stop stirring the pot: Rosie is restless. She's bored.
The View used to be a screeching, chatty estrogen-fest we loved to hate -- seriously, would Star Jones please shut her yap about the wedding, and Al, and "dieting," and being a lawyer? Did we need to hear one more time that Meredith Vieira doesn't wear underwear? No. And yet: Yes. It was fascinatingly weird. And if Rosie had joined that fray, she'd have blended right in rather than standing alone. (We still feel cheated that we never got to see Star hiss and claw and try to tear a chunk out of Ro's neck.) But tragically, Rosie was only invited to the party to offset the departures of Meredith and the fatally self-righteous Star. What remained were the dregs: Barbara Walters checked in only occasionally so that people could kiss her ring while she all but yawned; Elisabeth Hasselbeck was, and still is, in such a perpetual state of fragile despondence that a hangnail might set her off (making her cry isn't even fun for Rosie any more, although we still kind of enjoy her hair-trigger tear ducts), and Joy Behar was mostly pimping a book she'd written called, we shih-tzu not, Sheetzucacapoopoo: My Kind of Dog. In short, The View had been declawed.
Rosie enlivened the joint more gently at first, inching the show closer to what it used to be with welcome humor and conviction -- a savvy hybrid of her Queen of Nice days and the High Priestess of Nasty she became shortly after her solo talk-show got canned. But not even she could shoulder the load alone. Not one woman on that stiff, sensible, sectional couch could go toe-to-toe with her, and the lack of actual conversation kept the show from returning to its glory days of gossipy nutbars alternately guffawing and sniping. It turned into Rosie Talks, And Some Other Ladies Say Stuff Sometimes Also. So of course she snapped. Put yourself in her place, forced to sit with those people every day -- an absent old lady; a drowning, weakened youngster; and someone who would actually say the word "Sheetzucacapoopoo" on live television -- and it's no wonder Rosie started firing bullets at everything and anything she could. When the going gets tough, you've got to make your own fun.
Ergo, we hope people -- and especially her producers -- give ol' Ro a pass. She's just mixing it up because no one else will. We don't even really think she'll adhere to the spirit of the Don't Thump Trump law and will instead get around it by referring to him using a series of Voldemort-type nicknames, like "He Who Will Never Love Anything So Much As The Sound Of His Own Voice," or something. She won't last a week.
Which should make the producers happy, because although the show isn't can't-miss yet, it's close. Instead of neutralizing Rosie, The View's execs need to nurture her genius for uncensored discussion by giving her a real reason to stick around longer than the rumored year: A few better partners in crime to bring back the group bitchiness. Someone who'll take some of the heat and even crank up some on her own, relieving Ro of the task of making sure the spotlight isn't dimming. Someone who'll bite back and not just nod and cackle (we're looking at you, Behar). Grab supermodel Janice Dickinson, who's good for a scathing verbal diatribe on any topic of your choice, and who will probably flash her boobs in the bargain. Draft Danny DeVito, who so memorably guested on the show while hammered a few months ago. Bribe Star Jones into coming back for a few weeks. Just take the pressure off Rosie. Because at this rate, she'll only be able to blaze bright and brash for another few months before she burns out, and then where will we go when we want some crazy with our coffee break? —The Fug Girls

Mitch Fadden on Unconditional WaiversSubmitted by chad on March 16, 2011 - 20:37
RDS reported earlier today Lightning prospect Mitch Fadden is on unconditional waivers today. Fadden, who hasn't played since January 7 due to a blot clot in his leg, will have his contract terminated, said Damian Cristodero of the St. Petersburg Times. Yzerman told Cristodero the move to put Fadden on waivers was due to "off-ice issues" and neither the Lightning GM nor Fadden's agent would comment further.
A report in the Salmon Arm Observer stated Fadden was arrested in early March for driving intoxicated, among other charges, in Salmon Arm, B.C.
Fadden was home in B.C. while taking blood thinning medication.
Ellis Sent to Anaheim for McElhinney; Smith on Re-entry WaiversSubmitted by chad on February 24, 2011 - 11:28
The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired goaltender Curtis McElhinney from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for goaltender Dan Ellis today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced.
McElhinney, 6-foot-2, 197 pounds, has played in 21 games with the Ducks this season, posting a 6-9-1 record with a 3.43 goals-against average and a .890 save percentage. He also has two shutouts. McElhinney has set career-highs this season for games played and wins. He recorded his first career shutout on November 10 against the New York Islanders.
Lightning Swap Wishart for RolosonSubmitted by pete on January 1, 2011 - 23:36
TSN and several other media sources are reporting the Tampa Bay Lightning have traded prospect defenseman Ty Wishart to the New York Islanders in exchange for goaltender Dwayne Roloson.
The 41 year old Roloson is 6-13-1 this season, but he has a very respectable 2.64 GAA and .916 save percentage.
Wishart had 4 goals and 18 points in 31 games with Norfolk this season. The former Sharks first-round draft pick was acquired in the Dan Boyle trade.
Oshawa Sends Zador to Owen SoundSubmitted by chad on December 15, 2010 - 16:31
The Oshawa Generals have announced they've dealt Lightning prospect goaltender Michael Zador to the Owen Sound Attack for a fifth round pick in 2012 and a fifth round pick in 2013. The former OHL first rounder and fifth round pick of the Lightning in 2009 began the year as the Gens' starting goalie, but after a few weeks was relegated to back-up duty. Within the last two weeks he suddenly missed a game due to an illness and the Gens traded for veteran OHL goaltender Peter Di Salvo. With Di Salvo and Kevin Bailie manning the nets for Oshawa, Zador was no where to be seen and many speculated he'd be traded.
Zador will now join fellow Lightning prospect Geoffrey Schemitsch in Owen Sound. Goaltenders Scott Stajcer (Rangers draft pick) and Jordan Binnington (2011 draft) have been splitting duties in Owen Sound, with Binnington earning slightly more games (20-14). Stajcer is facing surgery for a lower body injury and a back-up was needed.
Zador is currently 10-3-2, but with a pedestrian 3.36 goals against average and .879 save percentage.

Ashton Sent to Tri-CitySubmitted by chad on December 10, 2010 - 21:37
The WHL's Regina Pats, as expected, have traded former Lightning first rounder Carter Ashton. The Regina Leader-Post reports the Pats sent Ashton to the Tri-City Americans with a third-round pick for forward Tanner Olstad, forward Nils Moser, a first-round pick in the 2011 WHL bantam draft, and second and fifth round picks in the 2010 bantam draft.
Ashton, who signed a professional contract with the Lightning in 2009, is in his final year of junior and with Regina struggling again this year, it was only a matter of time before the Pats sent him to a playoff contender for future help.
Tri-City is currently tied for second in the U.S. Division, 13 points behind Portland.
Ashton, chosen 29th overall in the 2009 draft, was third on the Pats in scoring with 27 points (16 goals) in 29 games. His 27 points will slot him in second on the Americans.
Ashton will join the Team Canada World Junior Championship Selection Camp this weekend.

Having gotten through the fiscal cliff debacle by the skin of its teeth (somehow passing a deal that both raises taxes AND the deficit), the US political class is now playing chicken with the debt ceiling.
The media, as it likes to do, continues to rave about social issues (gun control being the latest), ignoring the fact that the US would be in technical default already if Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner hadn't already raided various funds for some $200 billion.
We're not here to debate social issues, but it's telling that a US default, something that would affect every American, gets less airtime than assault rifles, which affect less than 5% of the population.
The market, is already giving us hints of what the likely outcome will be. Despite start of the year buying and a seasonal bias, the rallies of the last few days have been very weak, usually peaking out mid-day and then retreating.
[Related -China's Cunning Plan To Revive Growth]
More telling however is the big picture view of the S&P 500 where it is tracing out virtually the exact same pattern as it staged going into the failed debt ceiling talks of 2011.
Here's the S&P 500's recent action:

Here's what followed:
History doesn't necessarily repeat, but it often rhymes. And the fiscal cliff situation has made it clear that when it comes to issues such as cutting the deficit and debt, US politicians are totally clueless. Remember, Congress hasn't passed a budget in four years, which incidentally goes a long ways towards explaining why we're about to breach the debt ceiling again. The notion that these folks are somehow going to "get religion" about the debt situation will very likely prove to be as misguided as the hope that the fiscal cliff deal would do anything to help the economy.
