Kellymom.com states that one or two drinks is safe while breastfeeding.
Beyond that, the recommendation is to wait two hours for every drink that you have before breastfeeding again.
I EP-ed for six months. I had the occasional drink or two. I don't think that I harmed my DD at all. There are test strips that you can buy at Target, Walmart, etc. that will tell you if there is alcohol present in your breastmilk!

An Analysis of Exports and Growth in India: Some Empirical Evidence (1971-2001)
The relationship between exports and economic growth has been analysed by a number of recent empirical studies. This paper re-examines the sources of growth for the period 1971-2001 for India. It builds upon Feder´s model to investigate empirically the relationship between export growth and GDP growth (the export led growth hypothesis), using recent data from the Reserve Bank of India, and by focusing on GDP growth and GDP growth net of exports. We investigate the following hypotheses: i) whether exports and GDP are cointegrated using both the Engle-Granger and the Johansen approach, ii) whether export growth Granger causes GDP growth, iii) and whether export growth Granger causes investment. Finally, a VAR is constructed and impulse response functions (IRFs) are employed to investigate the effects of macroeconomic shocks.

NBC executive session: Leno, Office spin-off, and infronts - TCA Report
Poehler will not be in an Office spin-off, but Rashida Jones may reprise Karen - TCA Report
Got that? Neither did the critics, who repeatedly asked mostly Silverman to clarify the situation during both the panel and the scrum that followed.
Leno pulls a Kimmel at NBC exec panel; also late night timeframes revealed - TCA Report
Some of the "funny" lines are after the jump, but here's the gist of the news: Leno's last day on the Tonight show will be on May 29, with Conan O'Brien taking over the following Monday, June 1. Conan will do his last Late Night sometime during the first quarter, according to Graboff and Silverman, and Jimmy Fallon will take over the timeslot at an undetermined time during either March or April (that's after starting online, as Lorne Michaels announced yesterday). No word on what will play in Conan's 12:30 slot in the interim period.
NBC to unveil 2008-09 schedule next week
NBC is trying to get a head start on all of the other networks by unveiling their new fall schedule not in the traditional month of May but six weeks earlier.
The network has announced that instead of unveiling their 2008-09 schedule in May, when all of the networks give their upfront presentations, they're going to do it a press conference next week. The press conference will be held at Rockefeller Plaza and will be headed by NBC chairman Ben Silverman and Universal Media Studios chairman Marc Graboff.
NBC executive session part two: Rosie and The Donald? - TCA report
Asked what he felt was missing from NBC's lineup, the new Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, joked he wanted the chimes in the network's jingle turned up by 30%.
Silverman assures a reporter that he and Graboff are comfortable working side by side. "This wasn't an arranged marriage," he says. "We've known each other a long time."
NBC day one - TCA report
The thing about the cable and PBS portion of the TCA tour is that it's a lot like your first two years of college. Remember when you had to take all those science and literature required classes before you could sink your teeth into your major?
Don't get me wrong there's a lot of great programming that's not on the major networks. But attending panels on Discovery Channel's Ocean of Fear: The Worst Shark Attack Ever, CNN's Planet in Peril, and The History Channel's 1968 with Tom Brokaw kind of feels like going to school.
NBC starts today and it's one of the most anticpated days of the tour.
NBC wants Jon Stewart
Every time I say that I think Jon Stewart might one day go to late night TV again (network talk show-wise, I mean), people comment that there's no way he'd leave The Daily Show because it's so popular, it gets buzz, it's the perfect job for him, etc, etc. And all that happens to be true. But I also think that people change jobs on TV all the time. They want a different challenge, and often plan their moves for when a show has lost it's buzz or isn't quite as challenging anymore.
I bring this up because Broadcasting & Cable is reporting that NBC execs Jeff Zucker and Marc Graboff "wined and dined" Stewart and his agent, James Dixon. A source says no firm offer was made, but NBC made it clear they want to work with Stewart.
Is Kevin Reilly finally gone from NBC?
Over the weekend, Nikki Finke of LA Weekly reported on her blog that Reilly will be replaced by two people: producer Ben Silverman, whose company brought The Office and Ugly Betty to the U.S., will be in charge of the entertainment side and Marc Graboff, currently NBCU Television's West Coast chief, will run the business side. Bill Carter of The New York Times is also reporting on the change, but in a less definitive manner.

PHOENIX The Diamondbacks returned two of the supplemental pieces from their NL West title team for 2012 while making their first moves in the free agent market Wednesday. Veteran shortstop John McDonald, who added a defensive presence down the stretch after joining the D-backs on Aug. 23, signed a two-year, 3 million contract, fortifying them at shortstop while starter Stephen Drew continues to work his way back from a severe right ankle suffered in July. The D-backs also are expected to re-sign catcher Henry Blanco, who turned down his side of a mutual option Monday worth 1.15 million next year in what could amount to a largely procedural move. The sides are working on a new deal that could morph into one-year deal with an option for 2013. Blanco was considered not only an invaluable clubhouse but also a mentor for Miggy Montero, who had a career year in 2011. Aaron Hill and Lyle Overbay also are persons of interest as the D-backs enter the final day of negotiating exclusivit...

Caroline Bergvall has emerged over the past decade as one of the most brilliantly inventive poets of our time. Bergvall's new book, Meddle English, is multilectical, conceptual, sprung lyric – let's just say pataque(e)rical – extravaganza.
At Sibyl, the English portal of Sibila, we've published Bergvall's own excerpt from the first piece in her new book, which I asked her to send my way as I was eager to have at least part of this work readily accesible on-line. Here are two crucial passages which are for me a kind of manifesto for writing in our time, for the kind of poetries I want: a poetry that doesn't accept English as a standard but as a site for meddling: a meddling that allows for the kind of transformation that is the foundation of exchange. Indeed, Bergvall's comments on voice strike me as getting to the heart of a central concern in the expanded field of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E: the aversion of "voice" in the pursuit of voices, voicings.

Don't impose K'kulam reactors
Publication Date : 04-10-2012
Even zealous supporters of nuclear power should logically concede three things to their opponents. First, after Fukushima, it's natural for people everywhere to be deeply sceptical of the claimed safety of nuclear power, and for governments to phase out atomic programmes, as is happening in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and now Japan.
Second, nuclear power, like all projects, should only be promoted with the consent of local people, and with scrupulous regard for civil liberties. And third, safety must be paramount in reactor construction and operation, with strict compliance with rules laid down by an independent safety authority.
The way the Indian government has dealt with the opponents of the Koodankulam nuclear reactors being built in Tamil Nadu violates all three red lines. The Department of Atomic Energy and its subsidiary Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. see the opposition as a pathology to be cured by psychiatrists from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences.
The government has all along demonised the opposition. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, no less, vilified it as "foreign-funded" without an iota of evidence. The government deported a German tourist living in a 200 rupees-a-day (US$3.84-a-day) room for "masterminding" and financing the agitation. Last week, it summarily deported three Japanese activists who were planning to visit Koodankulam.
All this shows official disconnect with reality. Globally, nuclear power has long been in retreat. The number of operating reactors peaked 10 years ago, and their installed capacity has been falling since 2010. Nuclear's share of global power generation has declined from its peak (17 per cent) to about 11 per cent.
Fukushima precipitated the global nuclear industry's worst-ever credibility crisis. With increasingly adverse public opinion, and rising reactor costs (which have tripled over a decade), it'll probably go into terminal decline. Jeff Immelt of General Electric, one of the world's largest atomic suppliers, says nuclear power is "really hard to justify".
However, in pursuing its Nuclear March of Folly, India has unleashed savage repression against protesters. FIRs have been lodged against several thousand people in Koodankulam, with many charged with sedition and waging war against the state -- read, protests without one violent incident.
It's hard to think of another occasion, including the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, or the 1992 Babri demolition, where the state has behaved so irresponsibly.
On September 10, the police attacked Koodankulam protesters with batons and tear-gas although they were obstructing nobody's movement. The police literally drove many agitators into the sea, molested women, looted homes and killed a fisherman.
A fact-finding team led by Justice B.G. Kolse-Patil journalist Kalpana Sharma describes the "reign of terror" in Koodankulam, with "totally unjustified" use of force, physical abuse, vindictive detention of 56 people including juveniles, and sexual harassment. Such police behaviour "has no place in a country that calls itself democratic".
Yet, repression of movements against destructive projects is becoming routine in India. No socially desirable project can be built on the ashes of citizens. This itself is good reason to oppose the Koodankulam reactors.
Dr. Singh last year suspended Koodankulam construction until people's apprehensions regarding safety are allayed. But his sarkari experts didn't even meet the people's representatives or answer queries about the site's vulnerability to tsunamis, volcanism and earthquakes.
NPCIL refuses to disclose relevant information, including the Site Evaluation and the Safety Analysis Reports, and the text of an Indo-Russian intergovernmental agreement, which reportedly absolves the reactors' supplier of liability for an accident.
This puts a question-mark over the official claim that the reactors are safe, and accidents are all but impossible. If so, why is the supplier evading liability?
That brings us to the third factor: NPCIL's non-compliance with safety norms, and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board's approval for fuel-loading in breach of its own norms. Last year, following Fukushima, an AERB Task Force suggested 17 safety improvements pertaining to freshwater and power backup, improved sensors, instrumentation, etc.
The Koodankulam plant isn't compliant with as many as 11 of the 17. The AERB first told the Madras High Court that it wouldn't permit fuel-loading without full compliance. But within four days, it made an about-turn -- under government pressure.
As the Comptroller and Accountant General has recently established, the AERB is totally subservient to the government. On August 10, it permitted NPCIL to start fuel loading. This is wrong, dangerous, and shows reckless disregard for safety.
The AERB is guilty of more safety violations. Its own rules say there must be absolutely no population in the 1.6-km-radius "exclusion zone" from the plant, and that the population in the 5-km radius must be under 20,000.
But as anyone who has been to Koodankulam will testify, a tsunami rehabilitation colony, with 450 tenements, stands less than 1 km from the plant. At least 40,000 people live within a 5-km radius.
The AERB has turned a blind eye to this. Equally disgraceful is its failure to enforce the stipulation that no fuel-loading be permitted until an emergency preparedness drill is completed within a 16-km radius jointly by NPCIL, the district administration, state government and National Disaster Management Authority.
This involves full evacuation, with prior warning, identification of routes and vehicles, and public mobilisation. No such drill was conducted. The AERB's fuel-loading clearance amounts to playing with people's lives.
A victim of domestic and international atomic lobbies, India is loath to abandon nuclear power although the world is rapidly doing so. The process is fastest in the OECD countries, which account for 70 per cent of the world's reactors. Only two reactors are under construction in the West -- mired in safety problems, long delays and 130 per cent-plus cost overruns.
Even France, which gets 80 per cent of its electricity from atomic reactors -- a fact the nuclear industry repeats as if that were clinching proof of atomic safety -- will reduce that dependence to 50 per cent by 2025.
As nuclear power declines, clean renewable sources like wind and solar are rapidly expanding and their costs are dramatically falling. Renewables are the future.

Cannon keeps on the move ahead of golf's best
DULUTH -- In November 2008, Ryan Cannon relocated his family to metro Atlanta for his job. The Tennessee native had lived in suburban Detroit for the past seven years before his duties ended and he received his new assignment. He'd lived in Atlanta before, making his life a strange game of Pong between Michigan and Georgia.

Do You Play Favorites With Your Kids?
Monday, September 26th, 2011
There is a buzz both online and in print about parental favoritism. Check out these observations from Katherine Bindley in a fascinating piece in the Huffington Post:
Dr. Ellen Libby, who wrote "The Favorite Child,"argued in a blog post on HuffPost that favoritism is alive and well in every family. Parenting.com even listed favoring a child as one of its "Top Ten Mom Confessions" last month, when 14 percent of respondents were willing to admit to it. And, Jeffrey Kluger, author of "The Sibling Effect," told theWashington Post earlier this week that 99 percent of parents have favorites, and that the other 1 percent is lying.
Much of the interest in this topic stems from claims (NOT from me!) that it is natural – and even biologically hard-wired – for parents to like one child better than another, and that being either favored or not favored has lasting effects on development. So, for example, if you happen to be the favored child, you carry around a sense of entitlement for the rest of your life. And if you are not favored, you harbor anger and resentment and bring that into your dealings with the world, for the rest of your life.
What do I think? Well, I'll offer some observations, and then pose a question for all you parents who have more than one child.
As a researcher who has studied sibling and families for about two decades, it is not that easy to find scientific evidence of favoritism. Why? Because, at least in observational studies, the majority of parents don't really act all that different with their children. In most cases the differences are more subtle and what you would expect since siblings frequently have different personalities, can many times be different genders, and are different ages. In our longitudinal studies, we get to see families over periods of time – sometimes across decades. So we get to observe, for example, how a parent may be much more attentive to their 2-year-old as compared to their 5-year-old (because a 2-year-old requires more attention) – but that this does not necessarily remain steady when the kids are 5 and 8.
Sure, there are outliers, but these are typically situations in which there is a lot of conflict between a parent and one child. A parent might respond differently to an easy-going child than their more demanding sibling – but such a difference doesn't imply favoritism. Let me give a concrete example. Once I was flying to a child development conference, and a guy sitting next to me noticed the child development book I was reading. For the next 45 minutes, we had an engaging conversation about his two daughters – his 6-year-old "angel" (his word) and his 4-year-old "devil" (his word). He told me how hard the "devil" could be to deal with – and how she ended up "running the family" (his words) to always get her way. So was the "angel" the favored child? Well, he certainly found the "angel" easier to deal with. But then again, all his attention was focused on the "devil" who always got what she wanted – and he spent about 44 of the 45 minutes talking about the "devil." So favoritism may be a slippery concept.
The point here is differences do not necessarily imply favoritism. And if you ask children and adolescents (like we do in our research studies), they are all very capable of not only telling you about the differences, but also how they are not favored! Even identical twins – twins who share the same genetic make-up – describe differential treatment and getting the short end of the stick. Why? If you have more than one child, you know very well that you cannot attend equally to each child every second of the day. So in some sense, siblings are always reacting to the moments in which they are not getting attention or feeling left out. But in the majority of cases this is not an overwhelming influence on their daily lives – it's just a reality of living in a family and actually prepares them for the real world.
Now for the question. I get that there are some parents who overtly favor one child over another. But I think these cases are pretty rare – they are the exception rather than the rule. So outside of the normative differences you experience raising more than one child – and acknowledging that one of your kids might be easier to deal with, or you might identify (for better or worse) with one child versus another, or a given age difference at certain periods of time might skew your attention toward one child (say when one sibling is a baby, or one sibling turns into a teen) – tell me, do you really have a favorite child?

Oregon Senior
40: 5.04
Shows decent athleticism and moves well in space. Gets to the second level and gets the seal against the linebacker. Is able to pull and get out in front of screens. Shows potential as a cut blocker. Shows ability to get position as a run blocker, particularly when he's blocking in space. Shows decent footwork to match up with speed and sets up fairly well. Flashes mean streak and shows ability to finish his blocks.
Undersized and needs to get stronger. Doesn't get much push as a run blocker because he doesn't play with good pop. Struggles in a short-area and doesn't do a good job initiating contact either as a run blocker or pass protector. Needs to improve his punch and struggles to redirect pass rushers. Gives up too much ground at times off the edge by the bull rush. Will give up the quick inside move, or end can go right around him wide. Needs to take better angles in space and has some trouble adjusting to a moving target on the second level. Misses too many assignments when cut blocking and pulling outside. Can't consistently lock on as a run blocker.
Thran was a capable and fairly consistent blocker for Oregon at left tackle. But the Ducks blocking scheme doesn't directly translate well to the next level. He'll likely have to move inside to be successful. He started 30 games the past two seasons, most of which came at left tackle. Combined for 20 starts at left tackle, 9 at left guard, and 1 at right tackle.
Thran probably projects best as a guard at the next level. He just doesn't have the ideal size and speed to match up with ends on the edge. But he also doesn't have the ability to work in a short area that you like him on the inside either. The best way for him to produce at the next level is going to a zone blocking scheme. THat is similar to what he did at Oregon. But he was mostly asked to pull, cut block, and hit his assignments on the second level. That had him blocking in space quite a bit, which he was OK at, but will struggle against NFL quality talent. If Thran can improve his punch and hands, then I think he can be a capable inside presence at guard, with some ability to also play on the outside in a zone blocking scheme. But he needs time to develop and probably shouldn't be expected to make much contribution until his third season. So you might have to stash him on the depth chart or practice squad until then. He seems more like the type of player that becomes a journeyman guard. Not quite good enough to stick long-term, but can add some depth in some systems and thus should be able to get opportunities.
Thran isn't a good fit here in Atlanta. His ability to pull and block on the second level gives him a chance as a guard in the Falcons system. But he needs to definitely get stronger and improve his technique and hand use. If he was to bulk up to around 305-310 pound range, I think he would stand a decent shot at being able to stick as a reserve. But there are likely to be better options that will come along and prevent him from sticking long-term. Instead, he's a guy that will likely have to make the Falcons practice squad early and then perhaps three years down the road with development, can stick as a backup. But that's probably all he'll ever be in Atlanta, and just average depth at that.
If a zone-blocking team is desperate for depth at guard, Thran might merit a late seventh round pick. But he's better value as an undrafted free agent.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 2.5
Pass Blocking: 2.5
Run Blocking: 2.5
Footwork: 2.5

Does It Feel Good — or Do Good?
There is a question that all of us need to ask. How we respond makes all the difference in what type of life we lead and what type of world we make.
That question is: Does an action feel good or do good?
Let me give three areas of examples — personal life, the left and most recently, unfortunately, the right.
In the personal sphere, many parents, especially in this last generation, have done what feels good rather than what does good.
It feels good to give one's children what they want, but it rarely does good. It feels good to build children's false self-esteem — giving them trophies for no achievement, for example — but it doesn't do good. It feels good to provide one's adult children with money and other material benefits when they should be providing for themselves, but it doesn't do good. And it feels good to coddle children rather than discipline them. But it doesn't do good.
In the social and political spheres, feeling good rather doing good has characterized virtually every left-wing policy.
Liberals feel good (especially about themselves — remember, the left founded the self-esteem movement) when they promote race-based affirmative action. Given the centuries of suffering blacks endured in America, it feels good to change rules of admission in order to have more blacks attend more prestigious colleges. The problem is that these policies have done considerably more harm than good to blacks (and to society). The black dropout rate at many colleges is much higher than that of non-blacks; and many black students feel resentful while at college — believing that, because of affirmative action, they are frequently not regarded by other students as equals. But to progressives, none of that matters. What matters is that they (the progressives) feel good.
For more than half a century, liberals have felt good (again, in large measure about themselves) giving ever increasing unearned benefits to poorer Americans. That these policies have led to an unprecedented percentage of Americans becoming dependent on — often addicted to — state handouts in no way disturbs progressives, because these policies make them feel good.
That the left cares more about feeling good than doing good is shown by the results of virtually all of its policies.
For example, over the long run the welfare state must fail, as it is doing in nearly all of Europe. Creating such a state and doing so by "taxing the rich" feels good, but it doesn't do good. There simply aren't enough rich people. Likewise, there are not enough young workers to support retirees. But giving away (someone else's) money feels good.
The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, is a classic example of feeling good rather than doing good. Progressives feel good about insuring uninsured Americans. That the government would begin to take over another sixth of the American economy; that the Act consists of 2,500 pages (and its regulations already run into the tens of thousands of pages); that this is the first piece of major American social legislation to be passed without one vote from the opposition party; that doctors and hospitals will be paid less; that more doctors will retire or only take private patients; that medical devices needed for Americans' health will be further taxed; that companies will relegate vast numbers of workers to part-time work — none of this matters. What matters is that progressives feel good about the ACA.
And now, sadly, we have witnessed this most seductive human frailty — feeling good as opposed to doing good — within the conservative movement, the movement that prides itself as placing doing good before feeling good.
Republicans and conservatives achieved nothing — and did themselves substantial harm — when the House passed legislation that demanded defunding Obamacare as a condition of further funding the government and perhaps even raising the debt ceiling.
I have not read a convincing argument on behalf of these tactics. But I have read that the Republican Party is held in lower esteem than at any time in its history.
And any Republican who dismisses such polls ought to recall that the polls, not wishful-thinking Republicans, were right about Obama winning re-election.
Conservatives who supported the doomed repeal-Obamacare-tactic argue that it — and Senator Ted Cruz's filibuster — brought national attention to Obamacare's deficiencies. In reality it only brought attention to the Republican Party's deficiencies.
The primary reason for this tactic was that it made many conservatives feel good — "we need to stand up for what we believe" (even if we know in advance that it will fail to accomplish the stated goal). Otto von Bismarck, father of the modern welfare state, is credited with saying, "Politics is the art of the possible." His side seems to understand that better than ours.
My fellow conservatives fell into the very human — and very leftist — trap of asking what feels good rather than what does good. In politics, the only thing that should feel good is winning.

GABBY HAYNES to Release Three-Song Single, 2/14
Butthole Surfers legend Gibby Haynes, Jack White and Third Man's Ben Swank want to be your valentine.
So instead of something lame and predictable as flowers or chocolate, they're comin' a-callin' with the latest installment in Third Man's Blue Series (TMR 179), a three-song single featuring the two originals "You Don't Have To Be Smart" and "Horse Named George," and a cover of Adrenalin OD's "Paul's Not Home," a lost classic (cough cough... ahem) that originally appeared on the 1982 New York Thrash compilation alongside the first ever recorded material by Beastie Boys and some of the earliest known recordings by Bad Brains, Kraut and others.
The limited edition component of this single will be another first for Third Man Records: a FLEX-RAY.
A very limited number of copies of this single pressed on old medical x-rays will be sold exclusively from the Third Man Records Rolling Record Store at next month's South By Southwest free for all in the Butthole Surfers' old stomping ground of Austin.

South Texas Report: 09.28.06
Isles' Arrow gets contract extension
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball coach Ronnie Arrow was given a one-year contract extension that will go through the 2009 season, athletic director Brian Teter announced.
Over the past two years, Arrow has guided the Islanders to a combined record of 40-16, recording back-to-back 20-win seasons, and was named the Independent Coach of the Year both years, as well as being named the collegeinsider.com Independent Coach of the Year after the 2005-06 season.
In 14 seasons as a NCAA Division I head coach, Arrow has compiled a record of 222-177 record and has made two appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
Arrow, the only coach Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has known, has guided the Islanders to an overall record of 108-84.
"It's always nice to get a contract extension and nice to know the president of the university as well as our new director of athletics feel our program is deserving of this," said Arrow, who will lead the Islanders into their first season as a member of the Southland Conference. "Our players and coaching staff have worked really hard to make it what it is today and to know that its appreciated really means a lot."
His extension comes two months into Teter's tenure as director of athletics.
"I am not only impressed with what coach Arrow has accomplished during the days of being an independent, but how he has continued to work tirelessly at building the men's basketball program here at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi," said Teter. "It is exciting that we are now in the Southland Conference and that coach Arrow is positioning Islander basketball to be both successful and stable for years to come."
Along with Arrow's extension, he also was selected as one of the 31 voters in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches top 25 poll, representing the Southland Conference.
Magazine honors Hooks' Pence
Hunter Pence was named a first-team minor league all-star by Baseball America.
Each year, the baseball publication releases an all-star team of minor leaguers in all classifications.
Pence, who led the Hooks this season with 28 home runs, 95 RBI, 97 runs and 67 extra-base hits, was one of three Texas Leaguers to make the first team. Tulsa catcher Chris Iannetta made the first team and Wichita third baseman Alex Gordon was named the magazine's Minor League Player of the year.
Rayz add three more players to roster
The Rayz' roster continues to swell with training camp looming.
Corpus Christi added three more players on Wednesday with the signings of forward David Friel and defensemen Tony Johnson and Travis George.
The team has 23 players signed so far for training camp, which opens on Oct. 9. The Rayz will begin their ninth Central Hockey League season on Oct. 21 at home against Laredo.
Friel, 23, will be making his pro debut after four years at Plattsburgh State (N.Y.). The 6-foot, 185-pound Friel had 118 points (60 goals, 58 assists) in 122 collegiate games.
Johnson, 26, played his first two pro seasons in the East Coast Hockey League. Last year, the 6-foot, 190-pounder had 12 points (one goal, 11 assists) and 37 penalty minutes in 59 games with Stockton and Idaho. George, 26, spent the past four seasons at the University of Calgary. In 141 collegiate games, the 6-3, 195-pounder had 51 points (12 goals, 39 assists) and 165 penalty minutes.
"David is a skilled forward who we think will be able to put up good offensive numbers for us," Rayz coach Ken McRae said. "He had great career numbers at Plattsburgh that speak for themselves. Tony and Travis add to a strong, solid defensive crew that we're putting together... We have a lot of quality defenseman signed who will come in and compete for a spot on this roster."

@mediagoon isn't the only one with a closet full of jerseys.
This was actually my first. I bought it in 1998 in a Modell's on Hempstead Tpke, and I was sad it had drop shadow. I remember being nervous about dropping $50 on a jersey.

A Taxing Proposition
Will California's voters soak themselves?
Oct 29, 2012, Vol. 18, No. 07 • By KATE HAVARD
That's a sentiment the governor might want to ponder. Brown is fond of showing how serious he is about fiscal responsibility. He flies Southwest Airlines and eats leftover tuna sandwiches for lunch. But he's less frugal where it counts.
In May, while promoting Proposition 30, Brown's office released a list of 70 state parks it planned to close because the state could no longer afford them. In July, the Sacramento Bee discovered that the Department of Parks and Recreation was hiding $54 million in operating funds.
Perhaps more egregious: Jerry Brown asked the legislature in July for $6 billion to launch his high-speed rail boondoggle, which will cost at least $68 billion to complete—already more costly than the $40 billion plan voters agreed to in 2008.
"What kind of governor would threaten cutting 14 days from the school year if his tax increases don't pass, and then do this?" asks Katy Grimes, a reporter for CalWatchdog.org. A governor who favors big labor, that's who. The light rail is a "union labor jobs bill," Grimes says, a "dream" for unions, but a "nightmare" for taxpayers.
If Proposition 30 passes, Brown will have a $6 billion a year excuse to leave the state's unsustainable public-sector pension plans untouched. "Brown put the unions in power 30 years ago as governor, and this is the result," Grimes says. "This is why passing Proposition 32 is so important. It's an actual reform."
Prop 32, the Paycheck Protection Act, would ban automatic deduction of union dues for political purposes. It would also bar corporations
Endorsing the proposition, the Orange County Register wrote:
Labor unions have spent $45 million on a "No on 32" campaign. According to Field Poll, Proposition 32 is struggling. Voters oppose it 44-38 percent.
It's too close, and too early, to call Prop 30 or Prop 32. Californians might choose to start making needed cuts and curb the power of labor unions. If they don't, the State Budget Crisis Task Force will need a more unnerving name.
As Laer Pearce, author of Crazifornia, warns, "We have hit bottom already, but not the bottom of the bottom."

You can't predict your pet's health. But you can protect it.
Although it is a cost every caring pet parent is willing to pay, unexpected veterinary bills can run into the hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. The fact is, 2010 Allianz claims data shows pet parents are more likely to claim on their pet insurance policy than any other form of insurance offered by Allianz. Simply put, pet insurance is something that many pet parents today cannot do without.
Top five questions to ask before buying pet insurance:
Hip dysplasia. Luxating patellas. Cataracts. Heart disease. Epilepsy. These are just a few of the hundreds of hereditary conditions to which our pet's genes can leave them vulnerable. For peace of mind, ensure your pet insurance policy provides full coverage for hereditary and chronic conditions. Petplan covers them all, as standard.*
Did you know that 40% of all pet insurance claims received are for chronic conditions which last beyond 12 months?* That's why it is extremely important to check that the policy you select will provide long-term coverage for your pet and that your premiums won't increase if your pet becomes ill. Once your pet is insured with Petplan, we'll cover chronic conditions for life,* as long as you continue to renew your policy each year without any break in coverage. Additionally, premiums will not increase due to claims activity.
Just as it is important to ensure that chronic diseases will be covered for your pet's life, make sure your pet insurance policy does not limit reimbursement based on your pet's specific condition. Petplan policies do not have any condition-specific dollar limits. Our plans have simple annual limits that replenish each year at renewal.
Can you afford the risk of purchasing a policy from a company that may not be there when you and your pet need them most? Make sure that the company you select is well-established with a rated underwriter and a solid track record of covering pets and paying claims. Petplan has been insuring pets in the UK and around the world for more than 35 years. Petplan is proud to offer policies underwritten by AGCS Marine Insurance Company, a member of the Allianz Group – the world's largest property and casualty insurer group.*
When it comes to family budgets, no two are alike. It is extremely important to select a pet insurance provider who can offer you solutions should your financial needs change over the course of your pet's life. That's why Petplan offers you the flexibility to choose the right level of coverage for you and your family budget – even up to 100% reimbursement.

Nation's fourth largest health insurer continues expansion of model that integrates and analyzes medical data to optimize member health, reduce unnecessary health care costs and maximize use of evidence-based medicine
CHICAGO, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), which operates the Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in Illinois, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, today announced that it is providing health plan members with free, private access to personal clinical summaries through the insurer's members-only Web portal.
The clinical summaries are part of HCSC's Blue Care Connection program, which is designed to encourage the pursuit of evidence-based care so that members can improve their health and avoid unnecessary medical costs. Summaries are available now for members in Illinois, New Mexico and Texas, and will be available this fall for members in Oklahoma.
"The value of these electronically available clinical summaries for our members is not only that they provide a concise history of the medical services that we have reimbursed physicians and hospitals for on a member's behalf, but that members will be able to see for themselves potential opportunities for intervention and prevention that they can discuss with their doctors in hopes of leading healthier, more productive lives," said William Gerardi, M.D., clinical advisor for Blue Care Connection.
HCSC developed Blue Care Connection as a means of addressing the
problems of increasing medical costs and uneven medical quality. The
collaborative care system is designed to link members, health care
providers and HCSC's care management clinical staff. The system enables
medically recognized clinical rules and protocols to be applied to member
health data from claims, health care provider records and self-reported
member information. Based on the available information, best-practice
treatment opportunities can then be identified and pursued to optimize

Magic rookie F Mario Hezonja, the No. 5 pick in last month's NBA draft, drives through the lane and finishes with a basket-rocking, one-handed jam against the Thunder during Monday's summer league matchup.
Solid debut for the 3rd overall pick. @JahlilOkafor finishes with 20 & 9 on the night. pic.twitter.com/azV0p0TiFr
Jason Williams' son, Jaxon, plays basketball, and like his old man, he is absolutely untouchable on the court. Check it out!
The top remaining NBA free agent? That'd be the former four-time MVP. LeBron is also up for multiple ESPYS awards, including Best Male Athlete -- where he faces this year's MVP, Stephen Curry. Cast your vote
The Jazz guard left Monday night's summer league game vs. the Celtics with an ankle injury. Exum has a brace on his ankle but is not using crutches or a walking boot.
Jahlil Okafor made quite the impression in the Sixers' summer league opener with 20 points and nine boards in a 74-71 loss to the Spurs.
The PG averaged 14.2 points and 6.2 assists last season with the Timberwolves and Hornets. Williams played 2 seasons with LeBron James in Cleveland from 2009-11.
"At the end of the day, I want to play until I'm 40. And I would like it to be my choice. I 100 percent think that my best basketball is ahead of me." Full gallery
Great stretch here for Dante Exum, getting to the basket off the dribble and making outside shots.
Think LeBron James deserves to win @ESPYS Best Championship Performance? Make your voice heard and cast your vote: es.pn/1JQwAuA
If Jahlil Okafor's a consolation prize for the Sixers, he's an awfully good one.
The Jazz have verbally agreed to a deal with free agent Joe Ingles, according to multiple reports. Details of the deal were not immediately available. Ingles is the first free agent to reach an agreement with Utah this offseason.
Leandro Barbosa will return to the Warriors on a 1-year, $2.5 million deal, sources told ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne. He averaged 7.1 points and 1.5 assists in 14.9 minutes per game last season.
.@JahlilOkafor's starting to find his rhythm. Give him a dozen. #SummerSixers
Julius Randle, the Lakers' No. 1 pick in 2014, joined other members of the team's summer league squad for a practice session at the team's facility leading into Friday's game against the Wolves in Las Vegas. "It's something I've been thinking about for a long time," Randle said.
Justise Winslow outdueled Stanley Johnson, scoring 17 points in the Heat's 78-76 summer league win over the Pistons.
.@BPortistime is ready to throw out the first pitch for the @whitesox! pic.twitter.com/M9qV8ae2L2
Mario Hezonja scored 14 and and had a monster jam, but it wasn't enough to lead the Magic over the Thunder in a 73-65 loss in summer league.
Unlike Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid before him, 76ers top pick Jahlil Okafor is wasting no time getting into NBA action. He's starting tonight as the Sixers face the Spurs in Utah Summer League action.
Chris Broussard explains: "At one point it seemed like the ball was in the Cavaliers' court ... Now it seems like the Nets don't really want to do it."
Hearing that another target for the luxury-tax strapped Clippers is Josh Smith.
The top remaining NBA free agent? That'd be the former four-time MVP. LeBron is also up for multiple ESPY awards, including Best Male Athlete -- where he faces this year's MVP, Stephen Curry. Cast your vote
Chandler Parsons on DeAndre Jordan: "We plan on playing the rest of our career together."
He was the only player in the NBA last season with at least 1,300 points, 600 rebounds and 300 assists. He also is just the sixth 7-footer -- three of whom are in the Hall of Fame -- to reach those totals in a single NBA season.

- 2 medium eggplants (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf seeded Italian bread
- Basil Spread
- 2 cups New Orleans-Style Olive Salad
- 4 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces sliced provolone cheese
Position an oven rack as close to the broiler unit as possible, and preheat the broiler.
Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on two lightly greased baking sheets. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of the slices with the olive oil. Season both sides with the salt and pepper. Broil the eggplant, in batches, until the slices are tender and lightly browned and have released most of their moisture, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and move the oven rack to the center position.
When you are ready to assemble the sandwiches, slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally. Using a pastry brush, spread the bottom half with a generous amount of Basil Spread.
Spread the olive salad (with its olive oil—do not strain) over the top half of the loaf. Layer the sliced mozzarella and provolone on top of the olive salad, and then layer the slices of eggplant. Place the bottom half of the sandwich on top and lightly press. Quickly and carefully turn the loaf over so that the olive salad side is on top.
Place the muffuletta on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake until the cheese has melted, the muffuletta is heated through, and the bread is slightly crisp, about 12 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the loaf to a cutting board. Press lightly, and cut the loaf into 4 sections. Serve immediately.

Toward the tail end of 2013, we highlighted a couple of reports that pointed to a fairly stable angel market in the U.S.
The latest from one of those reports, the Halo Report — from Angel Resource Institute (ARI), Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and CB Insights — may suggest reason for a bit of concern. According to the report, median angel round sizes are down $180,000 per deal since Q1 2013 ($700,000 to $520,000).
The Q3 2013 Halo Report data is based on 278 deals totaling $445 million in total rounds including co-investors.
California is still the leader when it comes to the number of deals with 20.1% of the national total. Following it is the Great Lakes region — anchored by Hyde Park Angels in Chicago and Wisconsin Investment Partners — which recently completed 14.0% of all deals — double the regional total from a year ago.
But while California has the volume, the New England region continues to see the bigger deals with 25.3% of all dollars invested — an increase of 6.6% over Q2 figures. California follows with 19.0% of dollars with New York at 14.9%.
Who is getting all the money?
"The big three – Internet, healthcare and mobile – continue to dominate the interest of angel groups, and we noticed a particular spike this year for healthcare companies," said Rob Wiltbank, Vice Chairman of Research, Angel Resource Institute. "Despite the downward trend in round sizes overall and the drop in total dollars into healthcare for the quarter, we noticed a significant jump in full year round sizes for the healthcare industry – a trend we'll continue to watch."
