Marleau Leads Off The Ice Too

from the Mercury News,
All of that is impressive. But if you want an even bigger reason the Mercury News is today naming Marleau the 2006 South Bay Sports Person of the Year . . . well, let me tell you about a phone call that happened last weekend.
Many of the Sharks do community work. But Marleau is usually the go-to man, according to Rob Jaynes, the Sharks' director of fan development.
``He's just one of those guys who loves doing that stuff,'' Jaynes said. ``Last week, we heard from a family in Connecticut with three kids and their dad is in the final stages of ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease. They were Shark fans. I spoke with Patrick and he agreed to have me set up a call to the family last Friday.''

Get Rid Of Fighting Or The Instigator Rule
by Paul on 12/28/06 at 12:53 PM ET

from the Harford Courant,
Removing the fear of retribution has rid the sport of an unspoken code among players. Players in past generations thought twice about their conduct because there was the threat of retaliation.
It was part of the NHL.
"It's self-policing," Clement said. "It traces back through the history of hockey."
Either the NHL should work toward eliminating fighting or it should embrace it as part of the sport. One way or another, the league needs to figure out what to do with an element of its sport that has been around since the first puck was dropped.
"I think it's an inherent, important part of our sport," Clement said. "It's part of the heritage of our sport. ... I don't like apologizing for the fighting."

Keep An Eye On The Biega Family

from the Montreal Gazette,
Many years from now, when people are looking for answers as to what is behind the legend of the Biega brothers, they will need look no further than the backyard of their Pointe Claire home.
In the image of the Staal hockey family of Thunder Bay, Ont., that is starting to make its mark in the NHL, the Biega family has four boys with very bright hockey futures ahead of them.
The eldest of the four brothers, Alex, 18, is in his freshman year as a defenceman at Harvard University and was a fifth-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres in last summer's NHL entry draft.

High Praise For Doug Wilson

from Jim Adams at The Union,
...It is an indicator of how far this franchise has come and the bright future on the horizon. Even though he may appear to take all of this in stride; the intelligence, demeanor, and direction in which Doug Wilson has led this team has been a determining factor.
His promotion to general manager was a defining moment.
Although he may be the very last to drink from the Stanley Cup should it arrive in San Jose over the next several years, there will be little doubt among those closest to the sport and the team of the individual who brought credibility and success of the sport to Northern California.

Briere Was Sending Message

from Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News,
All right, so I missed it. I'm no better than the NHL referees, who didn't see it, either. Apparently, we were all looking the other way Tuesday night when Daniel Briere speared Washington's Alex Ovechkin in the groin in the first period of the Sabres' 6-3 win.
There was no penalty on the play. But I'm imposing a two-minute minor on myself for being hooked - by the Sabres' promise that they wouldn't seek physical retribution against Ovechkin for running Briere from behind when he was skating to the bench in early December.

Manny Should Worry About Playing Goal

via the Tennessean,
Legace called Tootoo a "donkey" following the game, and added that Tootoo was "out there running around, just trying to kill our guys."...
Tootoo paid little heed to the comments.
"They can yap all they want, but I'm here to help our team win and whatever that takes," Tootoo said following Wednesday's practice. "Obviously it's bringing emotion to the game. They just seemed to get rattled. But it's all about the results. That's why we're in first place in our division."
Predators Coach Barry Trotz had a concise message for Legace.
"Manny should just be worried about playing goal," Trotz said.
added 9:50am, via the New-Democrat,
Davidson said injuries are a part of hockey, but was particularly upset about Tootoo's hit on Backman.
"The only thing that bothered me was when Tootoo takes a charging penalty on an icing call, that breaks the code," Davidson said, referring to things that are and aren't accepted as typical behavior by NHL players. "If you're going to take a charging penalty and hit somebody on an icing, to me that should be a major penalty. You have no intention to play the puck, it should be a major penalty.
"You can't have people in this league running 60-80 feet full speed and not being able to be held up because it's against the rules. Yet you can take a charging penalty and really hurt a player."

from the News & Observer,
Riding a season-best, five-game win streak, Carolina (20-14-4) faces the Buffalo Sabres on the road tonight and the Anaheim Ducks at home Friday.
"It's two big tests for our hockey club," Carolina center Eric Staal said. "If we want to show we will be in the thick of things, we need to play well and to get wins in these two games."...
"Every team wants to play good against us, because we won the Cup last year, the same way you want to play good against the best teams in the league," Walker said. "Fortunately or unfortunately, we've got them back-to-back."

Foppa Back, Nittymaki Hurt

from the Delco Times,
Peter Forsberg and Robert Esche were back, but now it looks like Antero Niittymaki will be gone for at least a little while. And the soap opera continues for the Flyers, who, by the way, lost for the 10th straight time, 3-1 to the Florida Panthers.
Forsberg played, but got winded after the first period. Esche played too, but only because Niittymaki got hurt.
Niittymaki said he felt pain in his left groin for most of the game and that it kept getting worse and worse.

Phoenix Getting Offers

via the Arizona Republic,
The NHL lifted its holiday roster freeze on Wednesday, and according to multiple sources the Coyotes have been getting inquiries from other teams about impending unrestricted free agents Ladislav Nagy, Mike Comrie and Shane Doan.
No deals are imminent, but by virtue of their weak offensive numbers, those three players have given the Coyotes no choice but to consider all offers.
The Coyotes might be willing to part with one, two or all three forwards considering there are several younger forwards waiting in the wings…

Winning Is Fun

from the Columbus Dispatch,
Unlike a handful of other players, Vyborny never went batty while trapped in a culture of losing. He never requested a trade, never quit playing hard, never headed back to the Czech Republic.
And now that the Blue Jackets are tasting victory and tracking upward under coach Ken Hitchcock, nobody's enjoying the success more than Vyborny.
"It's more fun to go home at night," Vyborny said. "It's more fun to come to the rink the next day.
"It's something new for all of us here, including the fans. We've waited for it, a long time."

he looks at you, spits on the floor, and says, 'What do you want me to work for? I joined as a programme executive and I am retiring next month as a programme executive'. This is complete demoralisation. You can't function with a force of 32,000. These are the pains of non-autonomy. Do you know there's no term called radio jockey? Thirty years ago, the term didn't exist, so we call them casuals. There is no Panel Control Room (PCR), no Camera Control Room (CCR), these terms didn't exist, so they do not exist even now. I can't explain to babus at the lower level that these are required. Give me recruiting powers, I will stick my neck out.
Coomi Kapoor: What you are saying is that the Prasar Bharati CEO is a figurehead?
Prasar Bharati can operate on a day-to-day basis, but should not get overtly ambitious about things like promotions.
Coomi Kapoor: You have no control over your staff?
No, I have control over my staff, minus promotions, recruitment and service conditions.
Shailaja Bajpai: How did Modi obtain the full video of the DD interview? He was the first one to release the part with Priyanka.
Till date, I have not found out whether there was a fourth camera. I was told in the report that there were three camera operators, they were cleaning up the external sounds. It appears there may have been a fourth camera, and it's only when the full thing comes out that we will know. The point is that of judgment call — an editor takes a call, another group of senior editors makes a judgment.
D K Singh: With so many private channels, why should taxpayers pay for a public broadcaster?
It's open to the taxpayer to take a call. If the wider issue is whether we need a public broadcaster, I would love to join the debate. There is need for a public broadcaster on another count. In Manipur, everyday we telecast in Manipuri, six major dialects and 23 minor dialects. That accounts for 30 lakh people, 30 broadcasts. In Manipur, that's almost the only service available. In Kargil, there is only one person. There is just one person in Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh. We have a role in uneconomic routes. I would not go to illogical lengths to defend it, but look around the world, no one has given up public broadcasting. But it's a thing that should be open to debate.
D K Singh: You talked about a discussion on balancing things out over Modi's interview. Were you suggesting that you sought Rahul Gandhi's interview and you didn't get it?
I didn't, the news channel boys did. A public broadcaster needs to balance out to the extent possible.
Shubhajit Roy: How many times do you get a call from a minister or bureaucrat to play down news?

IN a letter to Prime Minister Hage Geingob yesterday, Namibian Exile Kids Association (Neka) chairperson Benitha Nakaambo asked him to be specific about when and how the government plans to address the plight of the children of the liberation struggle.
The association also said it has in the meantime called off the national demonstration it threatened the government with a week ago as it is "willing to engage the government to address the issues of the children of the liberation struggle amicably".
Neka's response to Geingob came a few days after Geingob, in a letter to Nakaambo, asked that the association give the government the "necessary time to solve the plight of all of Namibia's youth".
"The generalised letter we received says nothing about when, how and where action will be taken. It doesn't say anything different from what government has said four years ago. We would feel better as an organisation and as individuals who have been tasked to do this, if the State can specify on the time period and the strategy that they envisage to take," Nakaambo said.
A week ago, Neka complained that Geingob was "unresponsive" towards the struggle children's demands to be given jobs.The association also wants to know from Geingob whether the recruitment committee, which was established during former Prime Minister Nahas Angula's tenure to facilitate job allocation for the 'struggle kids', is still active.
"We would like to know if the recruitment committee will proceed with its business as usual. The way forward is that we have informed our members that the national strike is called off as we are busy engaging with the State and Swapo Party on the way forward. We therefore request your office to grant us [a] courtesy visit to come and discuss the way forward," Nakaambo said.
Meanwhile, Nakaambo has distanced herself and the whole Neka association from a letter written by vice chairperson Magongo Iipinge. She said Iipinge's letter was written and distributed without her knowledge and consent, or that of Neka general secretary Rauna Amutati, which fuelled rumours that there is division within the association.

International Notebook: Timbers contributing to 2014 World Cup qualifying campaigns
It was a busy weekend of soccer across the world, with four Timbers players taking part for their respective national teams. Jake Gleeson, Futty Danso, Lovel Palmer and Steve Purdy all played for their countries this weekend in a variety of different tournaments and qualifying rounds.
After suffering a 2-0 loss to New Caledonia in the semifinals of the OFC Nations Cup on June 8, Gleeson and the All Whites played Solomon Islands in the third-place match on June 10, winning 4-3 with Gleeson in goal. As a semifinalist in the OFC Nations Cup, Gleeson and the All Whites advanced to the final round of Oceania World Cup qualifying, which takes place in September.
Danso, playing in World Cup qualifying with The Gambia, played the full 90 minutes in a 2-1 loss to Tanzania on June 10. That was after Danso played the entire game in a 1-1 draw with Morocco on June 2. With World Cup qualifying over for The Gambia until next fall, Danso and the Scorpions will play Algeria on June 16 in 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifying. The Gambia will have to overturn a 2-1 loss in the first-leg match against Algeria on February 29 to advance to the next round of 2013 ACN qualifying.
Playing for his home country of Jamaica, Palmer and the Reggae Boyz began 2014 World Cup Qualifying on the right foot, beating Guatemala 2-1 on June 8, with Palmer playing the full 90. Next up for Palmer and Jamaica is a World Cup qualifying match at Antigua & Barbuda on June 12.
Purdy and his El Salvadorian side drew Costa Rica 2-2 on June 8 in World Cup qualifying, with Purdy playing the entire match. Unfortunately, the intra-Timbers rivalry with midfielder/defender Rodney Wallace was not to be as Wallace did not suit up for his the Ticos squad due to injury. El Salvador hosts Mexico on June 12, continuing World Cup qualifying.

Anyone with any JavaScript/jQuery experience? Need some help…
I'm putting together a page that will be used for an account creation process. As part of it, the user has to pick three security questions and provide answers. So, on the page there's three identical select boxes with the same set of questions to choose from.
Now, the issue is that we don't want the user to be able to pick the same question multiple times. So, we've put together the following script (with the help of a tutorial we found online). When the user selects a question from one of the menus, that same question is disabled in the other two menus.
Here's what we have so far:
< !DOCTYPE html>
That works fine, but there's one issue – if the user changes any of the questions that they picked, such that one that they chose earlier is no longer used, it remains disabled even though it shouldn't be. In other words, say the user chooses Option 1 from the first menu (which then disables Option 1 in the second and third menus). If they then change their selection in the first menu to Option 2, then Option 1 should reenable in the second and third menus since it's no longer selected anywhere.
So, I need to write a function that checks to see if an option is disabled but not selected across all three menus, and if so, then reenable it. I just have no idea how.
If anyone has any insight, or knows of a better way to do this, please let me know!
This could be a little cleaner, like storing the $('.question') in a variable and whatnot, plus I don't particularly like hard-coding '.question' everywhere, but here:
// This function should return an array of the value properties of all the selected options
function getSelectedValues() {
// Initialize an empty array to store the values
var selectedValues = []
// grab all the selected option elements and store them in a variable
, $selected = $('.question').children('option:selected');
// this = the selected element. this.value = the value property
// the push method adds its argument to the end of an array
// Send the results out into the ether
return selectedValues;
// This grabs all the disabled options and changes their disabled property to the empty string
function clearDisabled() {
$('.question').children(':disabled').attr('disabled', '');
// This function disables all the options that are in the array it gets passed
function disableSelected(selectedValues) {
// This probably wasn't necessary, but it's good practice to build things like this into your code in case you reuse it in ways you didn't expect. You could add a different default value
sv = selectedValues || [];
// For each value in the array, we get all the options whose value is the same as that value, but filter out the one that is actually selected
// Then we change those elements to disabled
for (var i=0;i
$('.question').children('option[value=' + sv[i] + ']').not(':selected').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
// OK, the DOM is ready to manipulate, so let's call all those functions we just assigned:
// When any of the selects change, do some stuff:
// First find all the values that have been selected, and store them as an array
selectedValues = getSelectedValues();
// Then make all the options enabled
// Then pass the selected values we got earlier to the function that disables those values everywhere they are not selected
Get all the values that are selected, then enable all the options, then disable all the options that are selected.
Fantastic! Can I buy you a beer? :-)
I was trying to think of ways I could "track" which options had to be reenabled, but that whole line of thinking was too complex and I couldn't get it to work. Your method is brilliant – just reset everything to enabled first, and THEN disable the selected options. Now that I've seen it, it makes perfect sense.
Can I credit you in the code somehow when I use this in my project? You really helped me out a lot.

PayPal has fired its director of strategy Rakesh "Rocky" Agrawal after he apparently got a little bit messy with his tweets recently.
According to VentureBeat, Agrawal decided to leave the company prior to taking a vacation to New Orleans for Jazz Fest. But before the Jazz Fest, he took to Twitter to voice some of his frustrations, in the process insulting some of his coworkers.
The tweets have since been deleted, but not before Business Insider and Valleywag publicized the outburst. Agrawal said he never intended for the messages to be made public, noting that he was using a new Android phone that he wasn't familiar with.
Among the targets of Agrawal's Twitter outburts were PayPal's head of communications Christina Smedley and the firm's retail chief Don Kingsborough.
Although Agrawal had given notice, PayPal announced that the insults were grounds for Agrawal's immediate termination.
"I had submitted my resignation with two weeks notice. Clearly they chose not to use that. No one from PayPal contacted me before the tweet," Agrawal said in an email to VentureBeat. "The last communication I had was that Stan [Chudnovsky, PayPal's VP of growth, strategy, and special ops] was trying to set up a meeting for Monday night to discuss. Clearly someone had other ideas."
While Agrawal declined to apologize for his earlier comments, he did say he was looking forward to his next business venture, a startup called reDesign Mobile.

Moody's Bistro & Lounge Restaurant Review, Truckee
Posted by Foodnut.com
Reviewer: Foodnut.com
Moody's Bistro & Lounge
10007 Bridge Street
Truckee, CA 96161
Moody's Bistro & Lounge Website
Moody's Bistro & Lounge is a high end Mountain comfort food restaurant in downtown Truckee. Local, organic, seasonal focus or as they tell it – Moody's food philosophy is "fresh, local, seasonal and simple". Chef de Cuisine is Guy Frenette. The Restaurant opened in 2006 and is owned by the same folks who used own the now closed Baxter's restaurant in Northstar at Tahoe. Moody's has live music occasionally. Our last visit was during a trip to the mountains, at the end of 2012.
Decor, Vibe – Moody's is housed in an old Truckee Hotel building with Mountain decor, lots of dark wood, bar in front with boothes and attached lounge area, main dining room, old pictures, pots hanging by the kitchen. Most folks coming up to ski/board, and some locals, mostly in their 30's to 50's. Pretty packed. They recently adjusted the room to make it more casual.
Moody's Menu (Click to zoom into any picture)
Menu change all the time. Starters, House made Charcuterie and Offal, Soups, Salads, Pasta, Meaty entrees, and a single Vegetarian entree. They have happy hour at the bar with half off wine and well drink specials before 6:30 PM. On our last visit at the end of 2012, we noticed that they added a pizza oven.
Moody's Picks:
The homemade Warm bread with a good crispy crust is stellar.
Mojito ($8) was tall, strong, and fairly well made.
Hot Buttered Rum ($8) Kraken Spiced rum, house made compound butter, hot water, nutmeg was perfect on this freezing winters night.
Pork Belly, Pomegranate glaze, Apples and Frisee ($11) was highly recommended, balanced between fruit and richness, and justified its fatty content.
Crab Toast ($14) dungeness crab / ciabbatta / butter / lemon is also a signature appetizer. This stellar starter comes with a huge mound of fresh crab with a bit of lemon zest on top of a thick toasted. Simple and effective. On our last visit it was on the vinegary side.
F.E.I Mussels with house Chorizo, White Wine, Saffron and grilled Toast ($13) had a fairly light broth and a moderate amount of mussels. Still a reasonable dish that requires lots of extra bread to sop up the broth.
Tomato Soup en Croute tomato / red wine / mint ($9) is also a long time signature dish. A thin and buttery puff pastry covers some very fresh tomato soup. The soup is not creamy, allowing the rich shell to balance out this dish. Great for vegetarians.
Beet Salad ($12) with red beats, strawberries, lite dressing was simple, very nice and refreshing.
Ahi four ways ($16) comes with seared sesame crusted lemon sauce, sashimi soy sauce with wasabi, tartare with a tartar sauce ala 1000 island, and seaweed wrap and fried. Stellar dish with fresh fish. A signature dish and must get. We actually didn't follow the four styles precisely and mixed and matched to better effect. The soy glaze was a bit too salty, so we swapped it out.
Hedgehog Mushrooms organic polenta / shaw family farm sunny side egg ($13) had several very fresh mushrooms sandwiched between some creamy polenta and a perfectly cooked egg. Another excellent starter, also good for vegetarians.
Fusili pasta with duck ($18) had lots of tender meat and good pasta. We had to ask for more pasta because the amount of duck was so great.
Vignetto pasta ($18) braised beef, brussel sprouts, garlic, onion, lemon, Parmesan cheese was another hearty great sized pasta with lots of tender beef chunks. This semolina pasta was made without eggs and proved to be far better than most pastas we've had in San Francisco.
Spaghetti ($18) Four huge, fluffy but not dense meatballs. Balanced sauce and solid tender noodles.
Pizza ($13) Fresh Mozzarella, Basil and San Marzano Tomato Sauce looked wonderful and had a crisp texture. A bit on the cold side though. Probably was cooked and sitting around for other items to finish up.
Big ass pork chop ($28) with polenta, broccoli, Apple chipotle barbecue sauce glaze was one huge piece of delectable pork. It costs as much as a portion half the size in San Francisco! High-quality pork that was especially juicy once you past the surface cuts. This dish was extremely hard to cut, could have used a Santoku! A must for fellow pork fans.
Coffee raised Bison Short Ribs Organic Spoon Spinach, Brown Butter mashed Potatoes, Carrots and crispy Onions ($30) is another signature dish. Very tender, large portion, silky texture although it could use more flavor.
Filet Mignon Special ($38) is one of the most expensive things on the menu on our last visit. Tender, nice portion size, slightly overcooked as we asked for medium rare.
Wild Striped Bass ($32) Radish, Cipolini Onions, crispy Potatoes, Chicory and Citrus Beurre Blano was recommend and was very good. Cooked just right, flaky and flavorful.
Pan roasted Antelope ($32) Came cooked Medium rare and was excellent. Great flavors, not gamey, big portion size, tender brussels sprouts. It needs more starch! Are they catering to Atkins diets here? We used up a ton of bread with this. A perfect type of dish for this Sierra Nevada locale.
Grimaud Farms Muscovy Duck Breast and Confit of Leg ($32) with parsnip puree, black trumpet mushroom, pink lady apple and huckleberry sauce was a perfect medium rare. Cooked just right with a perfect sweetish accompaniment.
Grilled Asparagus meyer lemon / evoo ($8) was simple, fresh, and cooked in a healthy manner.
Fruit Crisp ($8) was HUGE and made with cranberries and apples. A loose crumble topped it off along with some quality vanilla ice cream. Not very buttery unlike other places. Food portion sizes are so generous, that is hard to order dessert. On our last visit, it changed to include a custard.
Pumpkin cheesecake ($7) was a very well done dessert. Rich cake with subtle pumpkin flavor.
Kingston's brownie ($7) was recommended but simply wasn't very memorable.
Moody's Bistro & Lounge had friendly and competent service with servers continuously patrolling the restaurant. The service hiccuped on our last visit. Prices were on the high side, typical for high end places in a touristy locale, but portion sizes and food quality was extremely high. You can dip your toes by trying drinks and lower cost happy hour appetizers. With PlumpJack cafe, Moody's, and Manzanita, North Lake Tahoe now has some excellent restaurants that we look forward to. You can stick around for the live entertainment at the bar.
Good wine list with high markup. Wine by the glasses from $8, $20 corkage. Happy hour 7 days a week 2:30-5:30.

ModelMaker from Seattle, WA reviewed the Country Tuscan Style Hardwood Wall Curio.
Bottomline: Yes, would recommend to a friend.
Comments: The unit arrived double boxed and in fine condition. Light weight and mounted easily on the wall. I lined the tempered glass shelves with red felt and use it to display my handmade brass steam engines and they and the display case look terrific. While this is not top quality fine furniture for the price it can't be beat.

Employment scam leads to arrest
ROOSEVELT – Police are investigating a scheme to defraud that occurred in Roosevelt last October.
According to detectives, Darin Poole, 50, of 48 W Clinton Ave., Roosevelt, while on Nassau Rd., was engaged in a conversation with a female victim, 50, and told her that he was employed by Time Warner Cable and would be able to get her a job. The defendant subsequently advised her that she would have to give him $120, which would cover the cost of application and fingerprinting fees. The victim, who is unemployed, agreed and later that day met with the defendant and gave him the money.
The victim advised the defendant that her family members and friends, who were also unemployed, would be interested in jobs. Six additional victims either met with the defendant or wired him money after being promised jobs. After not hearing from the defendant, a victim contacted Time Warner Cable and was advised that the defendant did not work there. The victim attempted to reach the defendant with negative results and then contacted police.
On Saturday, First Squad detectives arrested Poole while at 100 Centre St. in Manhattan. He is charged with scheme to defraud 1st degree and was scheduled for arraignment on Sunday.

ONE of space travel's most pressing but least known problemswhat to do with dirty underwearcould soon be solved. Russian scientists are designing a cocktail of bacteria to digest astronauts' cotton and paper underpants. The resulting methane gas could be used to power spacecraft, they claim.
"This will be a revolution in the science of biodegradation," says Vyacheslav Ilyin, project director and head of the microbial ecology laboratory at the Russian State Research Centre's Institute for Biological and Medical Problems in Moscow.
The disposal unit will be able to process plastic, cellulose and other organic waste aboard a spacecraft. "Cosmonauts identify waste as one of the most acute problems they encounter in space," says Ilyin. Each astronaut produces an average of 2.5 kilogramsor up to 9 litresof uncompressed waste a day. To keep waste to a minimum, they are forced to wear underwear for up to a week at a time. ...

Businesses weigh fines over paying insurance
Brokers say owners awaiting more data on health exchanges
Craig Gussin, a local insurance agent and president of the San Diego Association of Health Underwriters, added that other questions also remain, leaving him and his colleagues frustrated that they cannot yet paint a fully accurate picture of future costs and benefits for their clients.
"It's like going to watch a baseball game at Petco Park and having no idea what the rules are until the umpire makes them up at 7:05 when the game starts," Gussin said.
All insurance plans include networks that agree to see a given insurance company's patients at specified rates. Consumers who see doctors outside that network generally pay higher prices.
Hammett predicted that, because the government largely sets the types of benefits insurance plans must offer, and also sets parameters on the prices that can be charged, doctor networks participating in the plans offered on the exchange are likely to have a limited choice of doctors.
"An ultra-limited doctor network that resembles Medicaid may not be what a business owner is looking for," Hammett said.
In addition, employer contributions to health insurance are tax deductible for employees. Gussin noted that employers who decide to simply give their employees a monthly allowance, added directly to their paycheck, in lieu of directly subsidizing coverage, would force their employees to pay more income tax. However, many employees could also be eligible for a partial subsidy of their insurance costs by purchasing coverage on the exchange.
There is also, noted Neil Crosby, director of sales for Warner Pacific Insurance Services, a competitive advantage in offering benefits that will likely push back against initial desires to save money by shifting employees onto exchanges.
"I think a lot of employers will toy with the idea of dropping coverage. In the end, I think they will realize what a benefit it provides for their employees and, if they want to keep those employees happy and healthy, I think they will continue providing benefits," Crosby said.

When I first started learning SEO I was overwhelmed trying to learn and understand the different types of Meta data. Although Meta data is an essential part of any SEO campaign, it is often misused in an attempt to boost page rank. If you are confused by the different types of Meta data and which ones are most beneficial, you should read Kate Morris's post about SEO Meta tags on The Daily SEO Blog. She does an excellent job breaking down the tags and grouping them into the good, the indifferent, and the bad. Reading her blog gave me a much better understanding of the wonderful world of Meta tags.
On the SEOmoz blog, Randy P. discusses the effects of blog comments on SEO. He started a blog from scratch for a "business friend," so his results are unique in the respect that all the data is as a result of his actions. He started testing the results of blog comments on his blog's ranking, and although this is hardly a large amount of data (one blog's results), he found that blog commenting is not an effective use of SEO resources. However, the comments do help legitimize the blog in the eyes of readers, as more comments stimulate more reading, more discussion and possibly more clicks.
Sometimes it feels like second nature to build links with anchor text. Yet SearchEngineWatch.com's Kristi Hines has written a persuasive article on how to build links without anchor text., She offers clear reasons for avoiding the anchor-text route. Whether your trying to increase traffic, work on branding, get more specific searches, or link within your site, trying a natural-looking link may be a good course of action. As a bonus, Hines's blog also focuses on how you can convince clients to try a new tactic, even if they're worried about losing traffic. Anchors away!
Oh, Google Analytics – what a great tool for understanding your website and its visitors. Tim Leighton-Boyce of Search Engine People wrote a great step-by-step guide for monitoring your SEO projects with custom Google Analytics segments this week. If you follow these tips, you can split your keywords into groups and set up Google Analytics Intelligence emails that notify you when things change. What's the benefit, you ask? According to Tim, the intelligence system will report on the things that contributed to the change, which means you'll have a better understanding of what your changes are actually accomplishing for your site and its rank.
So, I've been using Mozilla Firefox for a while, and I really like it. It's my browser, you know? But lately, it seems like everybody is mentioning Google Chrome. Then today I came across an article by Patrick Ahler on SEOmoz…and I might be a step closer to switching. He gives his top 10 must have SEO Extensions for Google Chrome. Among the all-stars are: the MozBar (naturally), SEO Site Tools and my personal favorite on his list—Note AnyWhere. You'll want to check out his post if you too have been thinking about switching over.

A Russian passenger plane crashed into a snowy field in Siberia shortly after takeoff Monday, killing 31 of the 43 people on board, officials said. The 12 survivors were hospitalized in serious condition.
A locally built Iranian passenger plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Tehran on Sunday, killing 39 people and reviving questions about the safety of a cash-strapped aviation sector left hobbled by international sanctions.
President Hassan Rouhani offered his condolences to victims' families and quickly ordered an investigation into the crash. Similar planes operated by Iranian carriers will be grounded until the probe is complete, he directed.
A float plane carrying a group of hikers into a remote Vancouver Island park crashed shortly after take-off Friday, leaving two unharmed survivors, two injured and two dead.

Moments ago a Malaysian BA 777 Passenger Jet Crashed in Ukraine. 280 passengers and 15 crew were killed. The plane was at an altitude of about 33,000 feet.

LAGOS, Nigeria — A chartered airplane nosedived into the ground and burst into flames meters from tanks of aviation fuel Thursday, killing up to 14 people, Nigerian officials said.
Six survivors have been rushed to the hospital, two in critical condition, Joe Obi, spokesman for Nigeria's Aviation Ministry, told The Associated Press.
Obi said 14 people were killed on the aircraft that was carrying 20 people — 13 passengers and seven crew members.
KAZAN, Russia — The grainy airport video is dark, short and chilling. Within five seconds, a dot of light that Russian authorities say is a Boeing 737 appears in the sky over the tarmac and plunges to the ground in a near-vertical crash. The result is a blinding fireball.
The video shown Monday by Russian television stations of Sunday's horrifying crash at Kazan airport that killed all 50 people onboard raises a host of questions, including why the plane's second attempt to land at night in good weather went so horribly wrong.
BUENOS AIRES (AP) — Two helicopters carrying passengers filming a popular European reality show crashed Monday in a remote area of northwest Argentina, killing eight French citizens and two Argentines, authorities said.
The helicopters crashed while flying near Villa Castelli in La Rioja province, about 730 miles (1,170 kilometers) northwest of Buenos Aires, La Rioja Secretary of Security Cesar Angulo told television station TN. All 10 people on board both aircraft were killed.
BRUSSELS — A plane carrying parachutists planning to celebrate a birthday with a skydive crashed in Belgium on Saturday, killing all 11 people aboard.
Minutes after the aircraft took off from a small airfield near the city of Namur, witnesses saw part of a wing break off, sending the plane into a spiraling nosedive and crash in a field close to Fernelmont town, said its mayor, Jean-Claude Nihoul. The skydivers and their instructors "were not able to jump out," Nihoul said in a telephone interview.
MOSCOW — A passenger airliner careered off the runway at Russia's third-busiest airport and partly onto a highway while landing on Saturday, broke into pieces and caught fire, killing at least four people.
Officials said there were eight people aboard the Tu-204 belonging to Russian airline Red Wings that was flying back from the Czech Republic without passengers to its home at Vnukovo Airport.

This device only allows a single PWM frequency to be used per device. While I could allow you to change it, that seems like a pretty "expert" setting. My plan was to force it to around 60 Hz which is fine for LEDs and bulbs and resistive loads. The PWM generator I am using has a range of 40 Hz to 1000 Hz. I like 60 Hz as it doesn't have any visible flicker and nor does it have an audible hum or whine.
Can you offer any reasons why I should offer this expert setting? Allowing people to do stuff that is likely to reduce their happiness with a product is generally a bad idea I think. Not to mention that each new feature turns into new support calls. I am open to being convinced to add it but I don't see why I would want to (unless you could set it for each channel which you cannot).

Just got a new bike after a careless cager took out my old one, so I am going to be doing lots of re-wiring for HID's, new heated gear, etc... I would definitely be in the market for buying a prototype and giving feedback...

refmix vs. fireclay mortar
I'm about to start building my tuscan and am so excited. But I want to do it right the first time. I have fireclay and cement but no lime for fireclay mortar. How important is the lime in the mix and will this mix be sufficient for heating up and sustaining the heat for my backyard oven.
Re: refmix vs. fireclay mortar
I am no expert, but it is my understanding that the addition of lime to mortar in general increases the flexibility of the mortar. The expansion and contraction of the bricks when heated and cooled causes movement, and mortars with lime in them are able to flex with this movement without cracking. Mortar with lime is usually more workable as well, from what I have read.
There may be other reasons, that I am not aware of.

Just for kicks try my advice in France. See if suddenly everyone goes from "rude" to "friendly" just by following the local customs.
Just for kicks try my advice in France. See if suddenly everyone goes from "rude" to "friendly" just by following the local customs.
My wife can walk very short distances without a chair. Obviously, navigating a park as huge as the Magic Kingdom is a different matter. Also, we have never had a wheelchair issue at a Disney park before. Finally, when parties with disability issues bring up problems such as we had, please don't jump to conclusions and second-guess. Listen, and help. Someday it might be you, or someone you love, who needs special attention. Unless you've experienced first-hand the obstacles faced by people with disabilities, you will have no idea how challenging it is. That's all we ask. Thanks.
I'm guessing there was no way to rent you a wheelchair if you weren't inside the park, and rather than humoring you with faux condolences like Americans would do, the French CMs were more direct and to the point.
You're making a big assumptions there. We are always very polite. We use the local language as often as possible. (My wife and I speak German, and a little bit of other languages. My son speaks Spanish.) I open doors for people. We smile. I offer to take pictures for families, so dad can be in the picture. (I'm a former WDW cast member.) I offer assistance to people in need. I can honestly say we make a great effort to be good citizens of the world.
Is getting "booed" (by members of an attraction audience) because we announce we are from the United States a local custom? Is getting repeatedly cut in front of our wheelchair a local custom? Is acting put upon by people with special needs a local custom? (We, for example, are very aware of people with strollers and wheelchairs. Because we live it.) We were polite and cognizant of our surroundings from the start. Trite answers are rarely the answer to a problem. You may want to to consider this, just for kicks... Thank you.
I'm not saying you're impolite. I'm saying you are American, and you come with a different set of baggage.
I'm very polite, too, and I figured this out living in France.
BTW, I also tried volunteering to take family pictures for strangers at Disneyland Paris and I got a puzzled look and a "Non, merci". Every time. People over there just don't mingle with strangers or strike up conversations easily with people they don't know.
Wow, you're turning out to be a real piece of work, CaliforniaAdventurer. A) We have NEVER had a problem with wheelchairs at a Disney park before. B) We did look into renting chairs elsewhere. The earliest we could get one was 2 days later. (Why didn't we contact the rental place earlier? See letter A.). C) I don't know what you mean by faux condolences. Disneyland and WDW have always been incredibly helpful. They are extremely attentive to the needs of people with disabilities. As I've said repeatedly, we have never had a problem with wheelchairs at Disney parks before.
Someday, if you ever find yourself in a wheelchair or with some other disability, I hope you never encounter people with attitudes like yours. Why all the hate and sarcasm? Try building people up, instead of tearing them down. You might enjoy it. Also, the world will be a much better place...
As everyone has told you, the CM did nothing wrong. You could have checked a wheelchair for free on the plane. You could have rented one elsewhere. You have a problem with the CMs and other customers in the stores. And now you throw in being "booed" by the audience for being American?
Drop the personal attacks. You're being booed by this audience, too.
Exactly where else was my personality grating, CA?
I gave very logical and reasonable answers to the things you just mentioned. You just chose to ignore them. I was addressing the poorly thought-out comments & inferences you made to me. (How were they not personal attacks?) I stand by defending all people with disabilities. Further discussion with you is absolutely pointless. Peace.

France lacks the ADA. They have stairs everywhere and few ramps.

Next year I'm trying for a summer internship at Stark Industries.
Sadly for the disabled, Disneyland Paris is in France - and it follows French laws and customs.
Its still the Old World - or America 30 years ago, for that matter.
This highlights how expecting everything to be "normal" because you're on Disney property overseas can be a disappointment when one forgets they ARE overseas. Still. At Disney.
Now, can the park better serve their disabled guests? If so I'm all for suggestions that we can propose to DLP management.
But constructively and not by placing blame at the front line CMs in France.
If this thread is to remain open, and some of the posters in here hope to maintain their member status, the personal attack posts, the presumptive posts, the posts that seem to have an agenda that is not related to this subject, and all the other posts that break our rules need to stop at this moment.
To be clear . . . you are not allowed to attack other members. If there is a rule they have broken, report the post to the mod lounge using the "report post" link at the bottom left of ever post. Never, ever attempt to hand out judgement in public on our boards.

But it has nothing to do with bad customer service. It's down to Disneyland Paris and its policy on the disabled/wheelchair users. The post you shared even mentions how the Cast Member made an exception for this particular person. Lets not get confused between rude service and Cast Members following company procedure. The big issue like I have stated from the start is nothing to do with rude service but Disneyland Paris and its policy on users in wheelchairs and how it apparently differs from those Disney Parks in the United States.The experiences of the OP and the MiceAge comment poster above are really no surprise, considering the huge number of complaints on the internet about bad customer service at Disneyland Paris.
I'm hoping this thread remains open because it can provide some valuable information to the readers here.
For example...that for disabled guests, there is no equivalent of the ADA in France, so prepared to bring your own mobility devices and deal with some hassles. Also bring a doctor's note if you need a GAC.
Also, be prepared to deal with some of the eccentricities of the local culture. What a previous poster noted about saying "Hello, sir/madam" before waiting for an acknowledgement and a response is good advice (I took a few French courses in college and that was one thing the instructors all stressed...if you do not greet someone in France properly and wait for a response, they will probably get downright rude with you!). Although you think that Disneyland Paris, being an international tourist destination, would be a little more relaxed about its etiquette.
As for the woman throwing things in the shop...I live in a international tourist city. I've seen shoving, rude behavior, and mentally unbalanced of people of all nationalities throw things. I'm not going to exclusively blame the culture here for this one, but the individual.
OP, keep posting. I think we would benefit from all kinds of different reviews here, even bad ones.

Industrialized Nature by Paul R. Josephson, Island Press, $25, ISBN 1559637773
GUESS what? In the great war of the second half of the 20th century, Russia and America were on the same side. Sure, they stood head to head throughout the cold war, but who remembers that? No, the big war, the lasting war that shaped our world was the war against nature. And they were both on the side of what environmental historian Paul Josephson calls "brute-force technology".
Together, they paved the planet and plugged the great rivers with "pyramids of concrete". They turned forests into cellulose factories, oceans into fish ponds and prairies into an endless bio-industrial landscape. They remade the very atmosphere itself.
Many Americans have got used to the idea that their assaults on the environment - from the Hoover dam to the interstate highway system, from the irrigation of the Californian ...

May 29th 2011 marks 100 years of perhaps the most famous sporting venue in world sport, certainly motorsport. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
It becomes one of the oldest events in world Motorsport when you think the Le Mans 24-hour race stared in 1923 and the Monaco Grand Prix began in 1929.
It was in December of 1908 that Carl G Fisher his good friends and partners Jim Allison, Art Newby and Frank Wheeler acquired 328 acres of farm land five miles northwest of downtown Indianapolis for USD$72,000 and the basic 2.5 mile course which endures to this day was born. June 5th 1909 and "Indy" stages its first race as construction crews worked on the ever growing race track, high above it, the racers soared in gas filled balloons and racing at Indy had began.
By August 13 of the same year Fisher had hoped to host a motorcycle race but the bad weather limited the crowd and most of the riders baulked at the tracks conditions and the local newspapers went on to call it a fiasco. It was intended to run a series of races at the speedway but the partners made the call to put their chips on one big event in 1911 with USD$25,000 in prize money and the 500 was born.
40 cars lined up for the first 500-mile event and qualifying consisted of sustaining 75mph for a quarter mile down Indy's main straight. 80,200 spectators turned up for that event, each paying $1 for grandstand seats and Ray Harroun in his single seater Marmon Wasp claimed victory at the Speedway claiming USD$14,250 in prize money in a race taking some 6 hours and 42 minutes with an average speed of 74.602 mph.
This very car will thrill fans once again on race day morning this year as it completes parade laps of the track along with many of the other wining cars from throughout the history of the event.
Comparing this time of Harroun's with last year's event and things have changed the winner Dario Franchitti's time was 3 hours and 5 minutes (including a total of 9 cautions for 44 of the 200 laps) and an average race speed of 161.623 mph and the prize money for the winner of USD$ 2,752,055 from a total prize purse of USD$13,592,815 and things most certainly have changed but the lure of Indy and the 500 mile race is stronger than ever.
Indianapolis Motor speedway has hosted this most famous race every year apart from brief breaks in 1917 - 18 and 1942 - 45 due to the two world wars. Originally laid with over 3.2 million paving bricks and nicknamed "the brickyard" a tribute to the old surface, still remains to this day with the famous yard of bricks that marks the start and finish line.
With over 225,000 permanent seats this makes this milestone venue also the worlds largest sporting facility and it plays host to the single largest attendance at any sporting event world wide each year.
The event became the benchmark over the years for racing innovation as the front enginied roadsters became the cars of today, co drivers disappeared and the modern single seaters arrived with Jim Clark becoming the first driver in 1965 to win in a rear engined car.
History and tradition have made Indy what it is today and many of these virtues live on. Perhaps the biggest one relates back to 1936 and Louis Meyer wining his third Indy 500 and to the delight of the National Dairy Council establishes the tradition of drinking milk in the winner's circle.
How did this come about? Well Louis regularly drank buttermilk on a hot day as his mother had told him that it would refresh him so as a matter of course he consumed some in Victory circle. A dairy executive happened to see a photograph in the following days newspaper and believing it was regular milk vowed to make sure this would be repeated in the coming years and thus it continues to this day.
Some 732 drivers have driven in "the greatest spectacle in racing" and our very own Scott Dixon claimed victory in 2008 and became the first New Zealander to have his face etched onto the famous Borg Warner trophy.
Four past winners and four IZOD IndyCar Series champions are among the drivers named to the 42 entries filed for the 2011 Indianapolis 500. Eighty-three cars comprise the 42 entries, the most entries since 2002.
It's the third consecutive year with at least 40 entries on the list. It's also the eighth consecutive year in which the number of entries has climbed or held steady. The attraction of Indy lives on.
Come "Bump Day" on May 22nd the field of 33 (the traditional starting field number) for this years event will be locked into place and those unlucky not to have made the cut will miss the event as the field of 33 embark on the race the following weekend on May 29th and prepare to do battle over a grueling 200 laps of the 2.5 mile track once again.
Defending Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti (2007, 2010) leads the list of past winners, which also includes Helio Castroneves (2001-02, 2009), Scott Dixon (2008) and Dan Wheldon (2005). Franchitti will attempt to become just the 10th driver to earn at least three Indianapolis 500 victories, while Castroneves is trying to become just the fourth four-time winner in the illustrious history of the race, joining A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears.
For the 2011 IZOD IndyCar series the Indianapolis 500 marks the fifth round of the championship and the first oval race of the season, after races on permanent road courses and street courses to begin the 2011 season before an oval event.
For Dixon its been a season so far filled with frustration, events in races, not of his own doing that have lead him to drop to eighth in the championship but things change very quickly in this series and Dixon is strong at Indy and the Target Chip Ganassi Racing team are a force at the speedway.
One win at Indy could turn things around so very quickly, many of the recent series champions, in the past few years have won the series after wining Indy, Dixon one of them in 2008, so what better race to do it in than the 100th year of racing at this most famous speedway of them all.

KAMPALA - There is likely again to be a big Kenyan presence in the MTN Marathon.
"They are showing a lot of interest ahead of the event," said Uganda Athletics Federation secretary Beatrice Ayikoru on Saturday. Registration of individuals starts today and will end on November 21.
Uganda dominated the podium places of most races in the last event. Kenya, a global powerhouse in marathon, however still made its presence felt with a 1-2-3 finish the men's 42 kilometres.
Abraham Kiplimo and Viola Chemos had earlier in the day led Uganda to top five finishes in both the men and women's 10km races respectively.
Dorcus Inzikuru then won the women's 21km.
Kenya's Onesmus Serem topped the men's race followed by Rwanda's Robert Kajuga while Uganda's Jackson Kiprop was in third position. Uganda's Jane Suuto won the women's event.
Team registration started a week ago and ends this Friday. Registration is at the MTN Arena at Lugogo.
