A couple weeks ago, after the collapse and obvious doom of Fox's The Mob Doctor, we had a replacement triage guessing poll to try and figure out what Fox would do on Monday night.
But with today's announcement that Kitchen Nightmares is premiering on Friday, October 26, and Touch is being held until January (no date or timeslot announced), it seems that the "something else" answer (chosen by the fewest polled) is going to happen.
Monday October 15 is definitely baseball (NLCS game 2), October 22 might be baseball (NLCS game 7), Oct 29 might be baseball (WS game 5). Historically, a game 7 is relatively rare, but a game 5 is almost certain.
At this point, I'm almost out of guesses as to what Fox does for Monday at 9pm, so this poll is a simple one.

Inside Moto-X Off Road Magazine
"I could go on and on about the bits and pieces that make up the Crossfire 2, but the more important thing is how they fit. These boots were simply amazing. From the moment you put them on they are comfortable and feel as if they are already broken in."
Vurb Moto.com "The new Crossfires are not-only a technologically advanced, and highly protective footwear, they are seriously some of the best-made boots on the planet."

Dr. Norman Lepor's Ratings
After spending 35 day of care doing EECP treatments, I can't commend the staff and technicians enough. It is an office that upholds a very high degree of professionalism, from a very early start of the day. Arthur Shafer

I had an excellent experience in Dr Lepor's office as far as his diagnostic and personal skills. He immediately imparted a confidence to me that was amazing and he was right on in his treatment. I Felt better almost immediately! Dr. Lepor is an exceptional and caring physician

All I can say is that I was almost giving up hope of being a vital and functional person with heart failur until Dr. Lepor did what so many other cardiologist were not able to do: Get me feeling better. I am now travelling, palying doubles tennis and having relations with my wife. I highly recommend him!!

The first place that was able to tell me what my vascular age was. They also did great job of helping me lose 60lbs. He has a nutritionist and hypnotherapist as part of their program and also referred me to a trainer. The also did a full body vascular imaging with combinations of ultrasound and 64 slice CT and looked at my aorta, arteries to my heart, brain and legs. Also were able to tell me how stiff my arteries were. This place was unbelievable, worth the flight from Houston.

Just cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Lepor. I have referred my husband, mother and friends and all have been happy. He has all this great diagnostic testing equipment in his office that is so convenient. His staff works hard and they even get insurance companies to authorized tests. I know he went to John Hopkins, the best medical school and he teaches doctors. Saw him written up in the LA Times a few years ago as "Doctors Doctor:.

I had really bad chest pains, my doctor and I thougt something bad was happending and my doctor gave me 3 names of cardiologists. I had my doctor show me on the internet who they were. Dr. Lepor seemed to be the most accomplished but figured he would be too busy to see someone like me. First two would not see me as I have Medical cannot aford insuranc . Dr. Lepor's office had me seen that same day, they did not even ask me what my insurance was when I called. Even though he does not take Medical he saw me found my problem with his special heart CT scan and believe it or not had me in the hospital within 5 hours and put a stent in my coronary artery that same day and saved my life. I felt bad that my emergency made others who were seeing the doctor that day wait, and I say sorry to them but thank god he was there and had a heart to save some poor lady like me. I told him I hope that I will not have to see him like this again, he said if you listen to my advice I probably wont have to.

I've known him since he was a resident, and have always adored him. He's a fantastic doctor, but I really hate sitting in his waiting room for one or two hours. His staff will never, ever bother to tell you that you will be waiting, or how long it will be.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2156879].votes_count ]]
Dr. Lepor is arrogant and should be avoided. The tech in his office was polite but didn't seem very familiar with equipment. Dr Lepor took three weeks to return numerous calls I made trying to get my test results. For very mild arterial plaque he tried to get me to go on statins without even bothering to learn my cholesterol or blood pressure. I'm not saying that statins would not be part of the treatment. I just think a good doctor would want to know your cholesterol before putting you on a cholesterol-reducing drug.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 254 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AndieNicci Perfect Very comfortable and stylish. I can wear these all day without any pain. September 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CuteShoes37 Perfect pump for work that goes with everything! Great for work or out to dinner, this classic black pump works with everything. It fit nicely, perhaps a little snug, on day one, but after just a little wear it feels like it was made for my foot. It's my go-to, don't-worry shoe for mornings when I need to run to work and want a shoe that will look great and feel great as the day wears on. I started with a pair in black, but bought a second pair in the nude color and couldn't be happier :-) August 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by DrStef Lovely This is a very sharp looking shoe. The fabric is nice to the touch. Love them!!!! August 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CFYS Love the look I thought these shoes were very comfortable for extended periods of time standing (on concrete) and while walking around the office. July 16, 2015

There are three generally established sectors that drive the U.S. economy - the for-profit sector, the non-profit sector and government. Enter the "Fourth Sector," a realm in which for-profit companies attract investors interested in achieving some social good. Maine has its own examples of this so-called "social impact" investing, which, as Keith Shortall reports, still faces a number of hurdles.
These cows in Dexter were part of bold iniative back in 2009 to provide a second chance for Maine dairy farmers, and more specifically, organic dairy farmers.
"We're just waiting for MOO Milk to hit the shelves and let the consumer know that we are striving to have the best quality, the best tasting, organic milk out there," said Dexter dairy farmer Mark McKusick. McKusick and nine others got together after HP Hood stopped buying their organic milk products in 2009. They created their own brand, called Maine's Own Organic - or MOO - Milk.
"And it will be fresh and local," McKusick said. "It's not ultrapasteurized, so it will spoil in 10 days, so they need to buy it and drink it 'cause it's gonna be great."
Though MOO Milk has struggled, it's now standing more solidly on its own four hooves, and is found on supermarket shelves throughout New England. It's an example of a new business model, which operates as a for-profit entity, but offers more than just quality organic milk.
"With impact investing, it's not just about that capital - it's about building companies, it's about human capital, about management, about so many more things other than capital," says Ron Phillips, CEO and co-founder of Coastal Enterprises Inc., a non-profit community development corporation based in Wiscasset which distributes capital to rural businesses like MOO Milk on behalf of investors who see some greater value in the company's very existance.
"We were able to step in with other private investors not driven so much by tax incentives, but trying to help build a company, frankly," Phillips says. "And the merit of this company, and the possiblities are to restore and begin to rebuild a component of the dairy industry in the state of Maine, namely organic dairy farmers, and a large segment of them in Washington County and northern Maine."
In the world of accounting, MOO Milk operates as an L3C, shorthand for "low-profit limited liability company." L3Cs are a kind of bridge between the for-profit and non-profit realms. They provide the same protections as limited liability corporations, or LLCs, and can make a profit. But they also are allowed access to grants, and to so- called program related investments, or PRI's.
"A company, such as MOO Milk, could be set up in such a way to accept these program related investments from a foundation," says USM Accounting Professor Jeff Gramlich.
The problem, however, says Gramlich, is that there are major hoops to jump through in order in order to be granted status as an L3C.
"In order to avoid severe penalties, the IRS almost requires that you go and ask permission to do that, and it's very costly," Gramlich says. "You have to get lawyers, and it takes a long time, and by the time you actually get through it all, maybe the business opportunity, or the opportunity to meet a social need, is gone."
This new breed of company isn't legal in every state. In fact, Maine hadn't yet adoped the legal status when MOO Milk first formed, so the company had to register in Vermont at the time.
And MOO Milk has had a difficult time attracting capital, which has caused a constant problem with cash flow. Gramlich says these kinds of businesses are not attractive to, say, venture capitalists. "What kind of venture capital wants to invest in a company that is low profit?" he says.
But MOO Milk is now found in more than 250 stores around New England, with a major presence in Massachussetts. The company is hoping that a major investor will follow through soon, and provide a boost of capital to help fund equipment upgrades and ratchet up its marketing effort, which is largely word of mouth.

Design Concept
Michael Young's new timepiece "Hacker Watch" for o.d.m. is inspired by many of the precision
engineering projects his studio has been involved with. The name derived from a group of
experts that create useful programming for the public is combined with play on words for running about town.
In this case, Michael is a professional watch designer while o.d.m. is a top level watchmaker; Michael has
masterfully combined the aesthetics and craftsmanship of fine watches with customer's highest expectations
in mind.
appearance is based on the application of visual ergonomics by using
bold lines from the center to the
edge of case that lead the eyes pleasantly allowing the time to be read
at a glance, the dial curvature and watch case are near seamless to
deliver a
premium yet delicate timepiece.
Designer Michael Young at Hacker Launch Party

Washington Minus the Myth: Ubiquitous but Remote
In the space of his own lifetime, George Washington saw himself canonized, transformed from a gung-ho fox-hunting Virginia squire into a transcendent symbol of the new American nation.

A Human Face for an American Hero
Combining real and imaginary settings, artists have been depicting and embellishing Washington's legend, personal history and public contributions for more than two centuries.

The Bumpy Path To a New Republic

Combing the Century For a President to Honor
The President's character, his contemporary critic wrote, was a "non-describable, chameleon-colored thing called prudence," which was "in many cases a substitute for principle" and "so nearly allied to hypocrisy that it easily slides into it." The critic was Thomas Paine, the Revolutionary pamphleteer. The President was George Washington, at the end of his second term in 1796.February 19, 1995 weekinreviewNews

Those who have been touched by cancer know that the disease never sleeps, affecting millions of Americans from every walk of life, everyday. Because of that common thread, the American Cancer Society's annual Relay for Life has become one of Carbon County's biggest events bringing together the whole community to help make the dream of a cure come true.
"I have had a lot of people ask me about this year's theme," said 2012 Relay for Life Chairperson Terri Lott concerning this year's "Cancer Never Sleeps - Dream of a Cure" slogan. "They would ask me, why would we want to dream of a cure. My answer was that dreams, just like prayers, come to life everyday."
The Carbon County Senior Center hosted this year's kick off, as youth dancers from all over the Castle Valley helped relay officials sign up the event's first teams.
"We are very happy to have some new teams on the roster already this year," said Lott. "It is our hope that if we can put the new teams together with those who signed up last year we can get over 20 groups in the event."
This year's relay will take place on June 22 and 23 at the USU Eastern track behind the BDAC. The overnight event celebrates cancer survivors, honors those who have lost their battle with the disease and raises funds to assist cancer related programs and fund the search for a cure.
"This year we are planning to have a lot of education which we hope will promote prevention," explained Lott, who is chairing the event for the second straight year. "Our goals are to educate concerning prevention and work toward a cure and the only way to find a cure is to fund research."
While funds raised through the American Cancer Society do largely go to fund the search for a cure, Lott did explain that certain portions of the relay's annual gains are used for local programs.
"This last year, Castle Country Radio donated the money from their pie auction to the relay," she continued. "That money was then taken to help fund perky travel, to provide gas cards for local individuals participating in chemotherapy and to fund a scholarship program for local students effected by cancer."
According to Lott, one of the most heartbreaking and simultaneously inspiring facts she learned while working on last year's relay revolved around just how many children are affected by this disease locally.
"It was amazing to learn about the lives of young people and their journey with this disease," she said. "Some stories were so wonderful and others were completely devastating."
For those interested in the event, this year's first team captain meeting will take place on March 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the Carbon School District Administrative Offices. Lott stressed the inclusive nature of the event for those who are thinking about getting involved for the first time. Relay for Life teams are typically comprised of 10 to 15 individuals. Each team member is then asked to either participate in group fundraisers or to gather $100 in donations on their own.
The Relay for Life was brought to life by Dr. Gordon Platt in 1985, it quickly gained popularity and became the ACS's signature event in 1992. Those close to the program are adamant about the fact that relay is far more than a fundraiser, celebrating hope, life and the memory of loved ones.
Community wide inclusion is vital to a successful event and according to Lott, local officials are doing everything possible to make sure as many people as possible sign up.
"The fee for registration is $100. However, all teams that register for the event before April 1 will be able to get their team in for $50," she said. "We would like the whole community to know that they are welcome and that having a team is nothing to be intimidated by. It's a great way to come together as a community over a great cause."

PHILADELPHIA Indian River Central has the largest population of military-related students in the north country.
The districts high school also has a teacher, Daniel Prusinowski, in the Army Reserves, who left for Afghanistan in September. The school community keeps him included by shipping care packages to him once a month.
Family and Consumer Science teacher Linda S. Elcsisin said her Independent Living special education class raises money for postage through popcorn sales every Friday.
Im really big on community service in the class, said Mrs. Elcsisin. Dan is a part of us. When hes here, he always has a smile on his face. We need to let him know he hasnt been forgotten.
On Tuesday, she had the students pack three boxes stuffed with snack cakes, jerky, instant noodles and crossword puzzles donated by students and staff.
The Independent Living class helps students become more mainstreamed by teaching life skills. Through the popcorn sales, the students learn how to deal with money and interact with others.
All the money from the popcorn sales is always donated, whether it is for care package postage, relief efforts in Haiti, buying yearbooks for students who cannot afford them or raising money for a staff member with breast cancer.
Mr. Prusinowski, a biology teacher, was deployed two years ago, and English teacher Sarah L. Booker said the school also sent him care packages then.
She has been carpooling with him from Lowville for about 12 years.
Hes the commanders right hand man as far as the hospital goes, but he does all of the back-of-the-house work, she said.
The packages give Mr. Prusinowski a brief break from his military duties to pass around all the goodies he receives to his military coworkers. In the past, he has gotten a school sports jersey and letters. Mrs. Booker said Christmas cards may be included in the next package.
In the process, Mrs. Elcsisin and Mrs. Booker hope the community gains a lesson from his service.
Our military kids, they totally live the war all the time, said Mrs. Booker. The other kids are removed enough that they may forget, and we dont want them to ever forget.

I have been tasked with by hand converting .pdf documents to HTML pages. The Brass has the bright idea that this will save on paying for translations since Google Translator can translate all the text for us...
Anyone who has used Google Translator can agree that it is about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop but the good little soldier that I am, I decided to go along with this scheme.
To save on manually having to convert these documents (with lots of pictures that have lots of text overlays) I was going to try using Adobe X to convert them.
Anyone have experience with this software. Is it worth investing in the license?

Meinl Usa Activity...lots Of It!
Everyone keeps complaining about the economy. Not sure what they are talking about, because, wow!...it has been an incredibly busy couple of months at Meinl USA. It seems that it's busy all of the time now, but lately it has been especially so.
Lots of planning for lots of events...a Brann Dailor in-store signing tour, Moe Carlson and Damien Schmitt at the Montreal Drum Festival, Rodney Holmes at Cascio Interstate's Drummerfest, Chris Adler in-store signing sessions, a Nick D'Virgilio clinic at West Music, a Benny Greb clinic tour, and PASIC with Felix Pollard and Benny Greb performing are all just a few of the projects that have required a lot of time and preparation in order for a successful outcome for each and every endeavor.
This time of the year is always packed anyway with preparations for the beginning of 2010...work on the new cymbal catalog and preparations for the 2010 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA in January (a BIG event) require a good deal of time and energy as well. So add on all of the other events and you have a very full schedule. :-)
Check out the photos of a few of the things that I've mentioned that have been going on.

The debate continues in Augusta over the right way to develop online - or "virtual" - public schools in Maine. Gov. Paul LePage strongly supports virtual charter schools, while Democratic leaders have generally resisted them. But as Jay Field reports, Democrats in Maine are facing pressure from Washington, and are more openly conflicted about how to proceed on the issue.
At a recent gathering of the Education and Cultural Affairs Committee, Senate President Justin Alfond, one of the Legislature's top two Democrats, took a hard line on virtual charter schools. "I stand here today, urging the committee to put a moratorium on virtual public charter schools," Alfond said.
In fact, Alfond is sponsoring a bill that would do just that.
"I've always felt that technology should play a huge part of a student's learning," he says. "But where I differ, I think, from at least right now, the full-time virtuals is that I don't believe we should be replacing the classroom. We should be enhancing the classroom."
Two years ago, the Legislature, controlled by Republicans at the time, passed laws allowing both virtual schools and charters in Maine. Last spring, two out-of-state, for-profit companies - K-12, Inc. and Connections Education - submitted applications to the state Charter School Commission to open virtual charters.
Maine Democrats had immediate reservations about the proposals. Democrats in many states take their cues on education policy from groups such as teachers' unions that are largely opposed to both charters and virtual schools.
Democrats here also point to national research that has raised serious questions about the performance of virtual schools tied to K-12, Inc. And last fall, an investigative series in the Portland Press Herald exposed the ways that a Florida foundation - connected to both K12 and Connections Education - had worked with the LePage administration to influence the development of virtual education in Maine.
"The for-profit status of a lot of the players in online education has been a difficult issue for some Democrats," says
Joe Williams, who heads the group Democrats for Eduation Reform. He says Democrats tend to take issue with the for-profit model when applied to public virtual schools.
"On the flip side, though, it tends to be for-profit operators that are most willing to invest in research and development to come up with the kind of game-changing innovations that we're looking to see in education," Williams says.
It's a big reason why, at the national level, President Obama and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan have embraced virtual schools and charters, and pursued policies designed to push states to do so as well.
Williams says this sort of pressure from Washington means it's not quite so easy for Democrats in places like Maine to simply write off these kinds of approaches to education reform - which may explain why Democratic Sen. Emily Cain, of Orono, is behind a bill to create a state-run virtual school.
"I think looking at other state models would be good. Because the first question is, 'Who's going to need to use or access the virutal academy?'" Cain says.
The state-run model may garner more support from Democratic colleagues. But Joe Williams says there's a potential downside. "If a state-run system is being created as a way of trying to shut down the marketplace for innovation, it could end up being problematic," he says.
Still, Williams says Cain's idea of experimenting with virtual education through a state-run, online school could work - provided that the school is open to tapping into innovative approaches from the private sector that have delivered proven results.

Buzz: Derek Stepan Isn't Getting Traded For Rick Nash
According to Larry Brooks in the NY Post, Scott Howson is demanding Derek Stepan in a deal for Rick Nash and Glen Sather still refuses to include Stepan in any deal.
Brooks writes " This isn't just a measure of Stepan's value as a player straight-up against Nash's value. It is a measure of Stepan's value carrying an $875,000 cap hit without the possibility of salary arbitration on at least his next contract against Nash's value carrying a $7.8 million cap hit through 2017-18."
60% of readers would not include Derek Stepan in a deal for Rick Nash.
It has been reported before that the Rangers WILL NOT move Stepan.
Advanced Stats were used to see if the Rangers should part with Stepan for Nash.

Invitation to contribute to the Draft Guide on Human Rights for SMEs Data tal-pubblikazzjoni: 31/08/2012
The European Commission invites you to provide feedback on a Draft Guide on Human Rights and SMEs.
In the Communication on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) published last October, the European Commission identified the development of a guidance for small and medium-sized enterprises, based on the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, as one of its priority actions.
A Draft Guide has been produced to provide practical advice to SMEs on how to meet the expectations of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Rights.
You are invited to submit your comments on the Webpage of the Open consultation .
This online consultation is open until 26 September 2012.
In parallel, the Commission is also developing specific human rights guidance in 3 sectors:
