LIVE BLOG: DiPIETRO'S NON-OPTIONAL PRACTICEStill no timetable for AHL stint and NHL return
Rick DiPietro's post-practice comments at bottom
11:50 am, Iceworks – Good day, everyone. No, this is not a momentous day. But I'm here, so I figured what the heck.
11:54 – Rob Schremp takes the ice, followed by Tim Jackman. Although the word last night from the Islanders was that only scratches from the Toronto game would practice today, that's not going to be the case.
11:56 – Rick DiPietro emerges from the locker room. He is wearing white pads and a blue practice jersey. His first step on the ice is with his right foot. (Just play along with me, Country. I already used my walk-on-water line with John Tavares. And besides, the way Dwayne Roloson played last night, there is no need for DiPietro to be a savior).
12:01 pm – Assistant coach Scott Allen is running this optional on-ice workout. Head coach Scott Gordon is in his coach's office at Iceworks. Allen takes the ice. Goalie coach Mike Dunham joins him.
12:03 – Allen meets with the group at center ice and goes over the goals of the practice. I'm not too far away, but I did not hear Allen tell the troops to deke DiPietro into Cirque de Soleil contortions.
12:05 – In a two-minute drill, Schremp takes the first shot on DiPietro. OMG it was the greatest friggin' save I have ever seen in…nah, he just blockers a wrister.
12:07 – The practice lineup: Schremp, Jackman, Jon Sim, Blake Comeau, Jeff Tambellini and Josh (50% From the Floor in his last three games) Bailey.
12:10 – Allen has the boys take the puck at the blue line, do a pair of spins and then fire a wrister from about 20 feet. DiPietro handles the ones on goal with ease. He appears to be comfortable.
12:12 – I would have bet the ranch on this one: Tambellini beats DiPietro with his trademark wrister just inside the post.
12:14 – The goalie lets out his first loud profanity of the afternoon after Tambellini beats him again.
12:16 – When Comeau scores, DiPietro voices his first soft profanity of the afternoon, this time adding an adverb.
12:25 – Contrary to what many readers have said Howie Rose has mentioned on TV – didn't see it and know know if he did – DiPietro has not changed his goaltending style at all. End of that story.
12:27 – Scott Gordon leaves his office for five minutes to observe DiPietro. "Looks good," he says.
12:28 – The drills continue. One player makes a pass to the blueline, skates to the net for screen or deflection.
12:32 – DiPietro continues to handle the workload with no visible discomfort. He is also focused and serious. No clowning around.
12:34 – A little half-court 2-on-1. The goalie doesn't have much of a chance in this drill.
12:44 – The formal part of the workout is over. DiPietro skates to the blue line and stretches. Dunham comes over to chat.
12:46 – As DiPietro leaves the ice he says, "Thanks fellas." Sim tells him, "Not bad."
1:05 – Steve Marcus from Newsday and I just spoke with DiPietro, as captured by Islanders TV. A summary:
There is no timetable for him to start playing games for Bridgeport of the AHL. "I'm not sure," he said, unconvincingly.
He will not set a date for an NHL return. "I'm done putting down markers," he said.
The Islanders' lack of practices is not ideal, but he'll get in the work whenever he can – including at Wednesday's morning skate at the Coliseum.
DiPietro is not changing his style in his comeback. "I've always incorporated a little stand-up in my play," he said. "I'm not changing anything."
He is playing at 100%, with no restrictions in his movements.
He has gained perspective: "You realize how lucky you are to be a pro athlete when it's taken away from you."
DiPietro feels bad that he's been out of the lineup for so long, but is determined to come back and win a Stanley Cup with the Islanders. "The expectations I put on myself are a lot more than anyone else could put on me," he said. "Luckily for me, I have twelve years left to rectify the situation.This is where I want to be and I'm doing everything I can to improve and help this team get better. I know I haven't been able to do that. I realize that and I'm sorry I've been hurt. I realize that and I'm sorry for that. It's something you can't control. I made a commitment to Charles and Long Island and I look forward to helping our team win for a long time."

I am trying to use a relative path to access my folders on the webserver.
Basically, i need to be able to read any subfolder under folder MAIN and echo its contents. I am able to do this if my path is static like c:\php\blah\blah. What i need is to use the webserver directories from my isp which only give me 'public_html' as the first folder (no root)
I tried
$fp = fopen ("/public_html/blah/file.txt", "r"); -- i got an error
$fp = fopen ("http://www.example.com/", "r"); -- i got an error

Richardson will begin his third season with the Bluejays in 2014-15.
A Washington Metro Area native, Richardson began his rowing career in the fall of 2005 at Gonzaga College High School. Almost immediately pegged as a coxswain, he competed across much of the Northeast during his interscholastic rowing career.
Richardson rowed all four years at Marquette University, during which served as coxswain for both the varsity women and men respectively. During his collegiate career he would find success, medaling several times. His two proudest moments were being the coxswain to the boats that won gold at the final Indianapolis Collegiate Invite, and a 4th place finish at the 2009 Head of the Charles, the world's largest two day regatta.
Richardson graduated Marquette in May of 2012 with a BA in International Affairs. While in college he served as co-President of the Executive board for Marquette's club Rowing team in the 2010-2011 academic year. He also served as the Volunteer Assistant Coxswains Coach for the Milwaukee School of Engineering during the 2011-2012 Academic year.
Currently Richardson is working on his Juris Doctorate from Creighton's School of Law, with hopes of achieving a certificate in International Law as well.

Galesburg, IL -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team stayed on a roll Saturday at Knox College, taking control late for a 74-69 win, their third straight in Midwest Conference play.
Beloit jumped on top early, using an 8-0 run to take a 10-2 lead five minutes into the game. The Prairie Fire kept chipping away but the Bucs held the lead thru to halftime, paced by James Lazarcik's 21 points. They led 40-34 at the break.
The Buccaneers still led 51-43 four minutes into the second half before KC went on a 12-2 run to take a 55-53 lead with just over ten minutes remaining. Knox pushed their lead as high as six but a 7-4 Beloit run put them back on top 60-59. The score was tied at 65-all with 2:30 remaining before a Tyler Butke jumper at 1:55 gave the Bucs a lead they wouldn't give up. Steve Dowden's steal and free throw with 31 seconds left sealed the win.
Lazarcik finished with a career-high 30 points and added 14 rebounds. Butke had 14 points. Beloit got 20 points off nine Knox turnovers and shot 51.9% (28-54) from the field, the fifth time in seven games they've been over 50%.
The Buccaneers look to stay hot on Tuesday night when they host Lake Forest College in Flood Arena. Gametime is at 7:30 p.m.

Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, after Jupiter. Visually, it is the most beautiful of all the planets, clearly defined and cold, with its most obvious characteristic being the rings which surround it. It has its own boundaries. Mythologically, Saturn-Cronos ruled the old world, which is often referred to as the golden age. Saturn swallowed his children as soon as they were born, because an oracle had predicted that he would be overthrown by one of them. He was fearful of losing his authority, his control and his power. Eventually, of course, he was indeed overthrown by his son Jupiter and banished to the outermost boundary of the solar system.
Saturn is the planet of darkness, cold and death. It is the principle of restriction and limitation in time and space. In this sense, Saturn is the reality principle, since none of us can escape the fact that we are physically mortal and restricted and defined by the actual circumstances of our lives. As lord of time, Saturn rules our allotted life spans, cutting the thread of life with his sickle when the appointed time comes. Unlike Jupiter, there is no 'getting away with it' where Saturn in concerned. As the god of agriculture Saturn describes the idea that 'as we sow, so shall we reap'. Where Saturn is involved, unless we plan in advance and make the necessary preparations and do the necessary work, and have the patience to wait, we will not achieve our goals. Wisdom comes as the result of age, experience and the recognition of realistic limitations.
Saturn is the threshold, the boundary and the ego structure without which we are unable to function effectively in the world. Saturn is also known as the great teacher, describing the hard work and the difficult lessons we need to master our lives, regardless of the obstacles which appear to obstruct us. It represents parental and authority figures, whoever it is who defines the 'oughts, shoulds and musts' in our lives. If we can learn Saturn's lessons, however, then we will gain our own sense of personal authority and responsibility which nobody can take away from us. From an alchemical point of view, Saturn is the lead without which it would be impossible to make gold.
A Saturn which is functioning in a cynical, critical and rigid fashion is a distortion of the archetype of practical wisdom. Ultimately, Saturn is the gift of self-sufficiency. In the birth chart, Saturn describes what we crave but feel we have been denied. It is where we feel awkward and deficient, as if we cannot do anything right. Saturn describes what we take seriously, and where we have a marked lack of humour and spontaneity. We are often highly defended and defensive where Saturn is, because this is where we are particularly sensitive to criticism and afraid of being humiliated. Although Saturn's boundaries can protect us, taken to extremes they can become rigid, constricting and suffocating. If Jupiter describes how and where we feel confident, Saturn describes how and where we feel fearful and vulnerable and where we experience limitation, frustration and a lack of confidence. Saturn indicates the hard lessons we need to learn, where we will not get anything unless we pay our dues. Saturn consolidates and concentrates, strips everything down to the bare bones, indicating where we have to become realistic, where we eventually learn to accept our limitations.
An image from Michael Maier's alchemical text, Atalanta fugiens (1618), showing Saturn (the prima materia or raw substance) being transformed through the calcinatio, the process of burning away dross and black bile.
Let's put Saturn together with some of the other planets to see how it functions in aspect. The Saturn-Moon contact can describe someone who is emotionally (Moon) inhibited (Saturn), or emotionally (Moon) starved (Saturn), or who has a fear (Saturn) of being unsafe (Moon). A fear (Saturn) of being needy (Moon) can lead to emotional (Moon) self-sufficiency (Saturn). The Saturn-Moon person may take responsibility (Saturn) for the care (Moon) of others, or this placement could indicate a working (Saturn), older (Saturn) mother (Moon). There is usually a strong need (Moon) for safety and security (Saturn). Someone with a Saturn-Venus contact may be cautious or inhibited (Saturn) in relationships (Venus), possibly as the result of a lack (Saturn) of self-worth (Venus). On the other hand they can show great commitment (Saturn) in relationships (Venus). They are likely to value themselves (Venus) according to their achievements in the world (Saturn), and find it difficult (Saturn) to relax (Venus). They will desire (Venus) to prove themselves to others (Saturn). Pleasures (Venus) will be taken seriously (Saturn), and this is an individual who may value (Venus) social status (Saturn) and traditions which have stood the test of time (Saturn).
Both Sally and David have Saturn-Moon and Saturn-Venus contacts in their charts. We have already seen that David has a gentle Moon-Venus contact. Now that Saturn is added to the picture we can understand that he is likely to be cautious about making commitments, and will wait for some time before he feels he can trust. In Sally's case, on the other hand, we have already seen that her Jupiter-Sun-Moon-Venus-Mars contacts could be fairly overwhelming, over-the-top and unrealistic. Adding Saturn to the picture is likely to provide an element of stability and caution which will enable her to structure her natural enthusiasm and ground her vision, turning it into something useful and effective.

Upcoming games: @ Flyers, April 3, 7:00 p.m.; @ Penguins, April 5, 7:00 p.m.; Capitals, April 7, 6:30 p.m.
Philadelphia Flyers (101 points, 5th place, 46-24-9)
The Rangers can sweep the season series 6-0 and take their overall victory streak over Philadelphia to eight straight if they defeat the Flyers on Tuesday. Captain Ryan Callahan scored three goals in the Rangers 5-2 victory over the Flyers back on February 11. Though Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov missed the last two games of the month due to a foot fracture, he was on fire the month of March and named the NHL's star of the month. He went 10-2-1 which included four shutouts with a 1.43 goals-against average. He is expected to be back in net soon. The Flyers won a heated match against their other Atlantic rival Penguins 6-4 on Sunday. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 43 shots while the team overcame a 2-0 deficit. Some questionable cross checks, hits and checking line melee even got coaches Peter Laviolette and Dan Bylsma verbally duking it out while standing atop the benches. Danny Briere will be out indefinitely with an upper back contusion and defenseman Nicklas Grossmann will be out 7-10 days with a lower body injury.
Pittsburgh Penguins (102 points, 4th place, 48-25-6)
The Rangers are 2-3 against the Penguins this season. This will be the final meeting of the season between the two powerhouses jockeying for first place which the Rangers have had a stronghold on. Matt Cooke scored two goals as the Pens beat the Rangers 5-2 back on March 15. Center Evgeni Malkin was named the NHL's second star of the month of March thanks to his 11 goals and 12 assists in 15 games. Malkin leads his team and the league with 104 points. Marc-Andre Fleury has lost his last three starts and allowed a total of 14 goals in that span. Captain Sidney Crosby has 19 points in 11 games since his return to the lineup on March 15. The Penguins are 5-4-1 in their last ten games.
Washington Capitals (88 points, 8th place, 40-31-8)
The Rangers are 2-1 against the Capitals this season. Three different Rangers scored a goal a period to win 3-2 against the Caps on February 12. The Capitals are looking to clinch the eighth and final playoff spot. They have a two point lead over the Buffalo Sabres. They've won their last two games and are 5-3-2 over their last ten. They beat the Canadiens 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday which pulled them to within two points of the Florida Panthers for first place in the Southeast Division. Michal Neuvirth made 41 saves. Center Nicklas Backstrom returned to the lineup after missing 40 games with a concussion.

Alex Ovechkin has three goals and six points in his last five games.

POTSDAM - Clarkson Universitys already green campus will get even greener in November when the University becomes the winter home of the Potsdam Farmers Market.
Starting Nov. 2, the Cheel Campus Center will play weekly host to the Farmers Market from 8:30 a.m. to noon most Saturdays until the market moves back outdoors in the spring.
A large number of favorite winter products will be available weekly in the main floor lobby of Cheel.
Meat products will include locally raised pork, beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, and beef sticks with no antibiotics, steroids, or growth hormones.
Eggs and vegetables with no pesticides, herbicides, or sprays will be available - such as pumpkins, squash, cabbage, potatoes, onions, and Brussels sprouts.
Freshly made maple products like syrup, maple cream and maple candy will also be a weekly staple.
Sweets and baked goods, like homemade fudge, cookies, bread, brownies, gluten free cookies, jellies and jams, biscotti and rugelach, will also be available.
Rounding out the selection of goods will be handmade crafts, like alpaca gloves, hats, and scarves, jewelry, and pottery, as well as fresh Christmas wreaths, center pieces and garland, closer to the holidays.
Our motto is from our farm, to your table, says Farmers Market Manager Marie Cook. We work to not only make a healthier and more sustainable community, but also to support our local economy with this endeavor.
Clarkson University is well known for its campus sustainability programs. This spring, the Princeton Review named Clarkson one of the most environmentally responsible colleges in the United States and Canada through inclusion its The Princeton Reviews Guide to 322 Green Colleges: 2013 Edition.
Supporting local farmers as part of a vibrant and sustainable north country region is important to Clarkson University, said Susan Powers, associate director for Sustainability & Spence Professor in Sustainable Environmental Systems. At the same time, the market will be a wonderful resource for our students, faculty and staff, as we help to increase their access to locally grown and produced goods.
Clarksons campus dining service is welcoming the Farmers Market with open arms. The Cheel Campus Center location will make it easier to source some local products for the all-local Main Street Grill and Adirondack Kitchen selection of foods, which features a variety of all-local salads and sandwiches. Many other local food products are also used in Clarksons kitchens.
Having the Farmers Market in the same building as our main kitchen will be great, says Senior Director of Dining Services John Lehmann. We look forward to shopping for local products this winter and supporting more local businesses.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Glen Simkins is a man on the move. In the last two weeks, he has moved to Price from Lund, Nev.
Simkins then moved into an assignment as the first principal of grades kindergarten to sixth at Pinnacle Canyon Academy. And this week, he is moving into a new school building.
"I have 21 years of experience teaching and being an administrator, but this is all new to me," said Simkins as he sat in the principal's office in the new wing of the school . "This whole situation is very intriguing to me. It will be a challenge."
Simkins, who hails from Enterprise in Washington County, has never shied away from moving around to get different experiences.
After graduating from Southern Utah University with a bachelor's and master's degree in school administration Simkins spent 11 years working in Panaca, Nev., where he taught and acted as an assistant principal, but without a title. He did the same job at all three levels of schools in Lincoln County.
In addition, Simkins spent a good deal of time working in the Uintah Basin, specifically the Duchesne School District. While in the Uintah Basin, he worked in Altamont and Roosevelt.
For the last two years, Simkins has spent his time being an elementary administrator in the Nevada community from which he came. Now, he finds himself in an entirely different situation.
"I wanted to be in elementary education full time and this is where I found that opportunity," stated Simkins. "I like the idea of a healthy educational environment that is in this charter school. I like the idea that people have a choice of schools because this campus is here."
But Simkins' background involves more than teaching and being an administrator at other schools.
He has a strong background in technology education he received by attending multiple institutions programs including those at University of Nevada Las Vegas, University of Nevada at Reno, Utah State and the University of Utah.
"One of the emphasis here will be on technology," he said. "This new building has smart boards in every classroom and there is a computer lab on every floor."
Simkins' whirlwind tour to get to Price has left him and his family a little breathless.
"My wife and (five) kids are still in southern Utah, but will be here soon," noted Simkins.
When Pinnacle Canyon began a few years ago , the academy was a small charter school with around 100 students that first year. The current the studentbody will range somewhere between 300 to 400 children.
The elementary enrollment will be housed in the old part of the Notre Dame School and the new building added on to the south end.
The secondary students will attend classes in the relocatable buildings north of the permanent structure.
But plans are in the works to add on a twin of the new south building to the northern end sometime in the near future.
Now that Pinnacle Canyon has been approved to handle high school students, charter officials expecte that the need for more room will continue.
But for Simkins, the elementary part of the school is what he desired and it appears he has what he wants.
"My feeling is that I want to be a part of the entire community," he said. "I am very happy to be here."
Simkins said that he intends to keep the door of his office open to students and parents and wants to do for them what ever he can to help them have a successful academic experience.
Last Friday, the school presented on open house so residents from the Castle Valley area could get a peek of what had been built. The Aug. 18 open house packed people into the halls as they talked to teachers and toured at the new facility.
Greeting people as they came in the door, Simkins met the parents and students, who will be a part of his school this coming year.

Pediatric dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides both preventive and therapeutic dental care for infants, children and adolescents.
Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. After completing dental school, we are further trained for the unique dental health needs of children. Our specialized education consists of child psychology, growth and development, management of oral-facial trauma, sedation and general anesthesia.
At Boston Children's Hospital, our Pediatric Dentistry Service is designed to help children feel at home and comfortable, and our experienced dental staff is trained to respond to the special concerns and needs of our patients. Children are offered the opportunity to see, touch and operate all of the dental equipment.
All children are not alike! Our pediatric dentists provide an ongoing assessment of the changes in your child's oral health. As experts in dental development, we monitor your child's needs and provide advice and treatment to ensure a winning smile. From teething infants to appearance-conscious teenagers, the pediatric dentists at Boston Children's Hospital provide dental care based on comprehensive dental research and extensive clinical experience.
Maintaining disease-free teeth and gums is a major goal of the pediatric dentist. To help prevent tooth decay, we make sure our patients receive optimum fluoride exposure and we apply pit and fissure sealants when appropriate. In addition, our dental staff demonstrates proper brushing and flossing techniques and assists patients and their families in identifying foods that promote tooth decay. The total care your child receives in our department will serve as a motivating force, promoting good oral health habits that can be maintained for a lifetime.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

It's time to introduce you to an artist that I think is a pretty big deal. Not only does she have a great eye for color, a great knack for quality workmanship in her assembly, but she's also got a very bright spirit and even bigger heart. Kristen has actually had her stuff for sale over at Urban Gypsy for a little while and I remember talking with Ashley about her. So when Kristen approached me about her work, not only was I already familiar, but I was already a fan. Being an even bigger fan of Urban Gypsy, however, I didn't want to have the same work in my shop. Unnecessary competition isn't what cool people do. Kristen not only understood but took it upon herself to talk with Ashley about it and created a very large collection just for us!
I can talk for pages about Kristen and her work and her awesome drive, but I want you to get a chance to meet her. So read her interview below and then swing by the shop and check out her work. She's one of our best selling artists so far and we haven't even given her the official "plug" yet . . . so you know she's gotta be good!
Name: Kristen Reimer
Age Group: Cherry Blossom
Business Name: Peaceful Treasures (Jewelry)
Facebook Page: Facebook.com/Peaceful-Treasures
Website: PeacefulTreasures.Etsy.com
ALBH: What got you started making jewelry?
KR: After falling in love with another artist's jewelry at a farmer's market, I decided I could make my own.
ALBH: Would you consider the art of jewelry making hard to learn?
KR: Not yet. It has come naturally so far.
ALBH: 'Jewelry' is a pretty broad hobby and can be made from just about anything. What materials do you enjoy using most?
KR: I love silver, particularly sterling. I would use all sterling if it was affordable for my hobby. I use recycled paper beads made by women in Uganda who are struggling to get out of poverty. The non-profit fair trade organization I buy from is called Beadforlife. I also like glass and semiprecious stones. I enjoy making my own fabric beads in various different shapes. Lastly, I like to edit digital images to fit certain pieces of jewelry, like bracelets and earrings.
ALBH: You've got quite a collection – how long have you been at this?
KR: I have been creating jewelry for about a year. I have had my ETSY shop since February 2011.
ALBH: Does your jewelry require any special care?
KR: I wear my jewelry and keep it with my other pieces. I have tested the recycled paper beads by submersing them in water for a period of time. They did not distort, but I don't recommend wearing any of my jewelry while bathing or swimming.
ALBH: What's your long-term goal as an artist?
KR: My long term goal is to be happy and to bring happiness to others. I want the women in Uganda who are often HIV positive and war refugees to be educated to make better lives for themselves and their families. I want to be able to donate my pieces to various organizations to help others. I want people to be inspired by my jewelry and my company.
ALBH: I always have to ask – what does the word "Hippie" mean to you?
KR: Love, peace, unity, tolerance, and good music! While I don't condone all of the activities of the actual hippie movement from the 60's and 70's, I tend to be a mainstream contemporary hippie/bohemian at heart.
ALBH: As a bench jeweler myself, I'm always interested in similar artists' approach. How long would you say a typical piece take you to make?
KR: It depends on the piece and my creative energy. Earrings typically take the shortest amount of time unless they involve my fabric beads or if I have to find paper beads that somewhat match. Each bead is unique, so that can be difficult.
ALBH: What is your typical day like?
KR: I am a full time Mom. My son and I like to wake up late, between 8 and 10am. We have breakfast: coffee for me and whatever he will eat for him. When we stay at home, we play, clean, read, do crafts, snuggle and play with our dog and two cats. When my son entertains himself and/or naps, I make jewelry. In the evenings after my husband gets home, we hang out as a family. I make jewelry whenever I can and whenever I have an idea. I am constantly thinking of new designs and ideas. I am very fortunate and know it!
ALBH: It sounds like your days are already pretty full, but I always like to ask – what do you do for fun, outside of your art?
KR: I love to garden, cook, entertain and read. I enjoy a good glass of wine. I love hanging out with good friends and my family, extended included.
I can easily to speak to Kristen's sense of charity and giving. For the silent auction that was just held for SARA, Inc, Kristen didn't donate 1 piece of her jewelry. She donated 5 individual pieces. It's refreshing to meet someone that is passionate about others and her community and willing to help . . . a true "Hippie!"

End of an Era
I ran and pulled plugs but it was too late! The CFamp has no power on the high voltage side of the power transformer and the output transformers have no continuity across them. It ruined all of the power supply caps, no continuity across any of them in the CF amp.
On the bright side, the other CF amp is fine.
My insurance company is working on a settlement.
Bitch of it is I just replaced the processor in my Lightstar pre, it's a doorstop....again....GGRRRRRRRR!
I want to try to buy the pieces for salvage, maybe they can be parted out to save another Lightstar. This SUCKS!!!

Reporting in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Tomás González-Villa and colleagues devised a recipe for improving beer foam. They identified a gene in brewer's yeast that prolongs beer foam lifespan by making a protein that protects the bubbles. They say they've brewed beers with heads that stay frothy for several hours.

So, sitting in front of a computer and searching online for the best pack and play?
This is something not very uncommon these days. People do search for this in order to meet the sleeping, playing, resting and other requirements of their little ones. But the real question is, what exactly should you look for whenever searching online for the best pack and play?
It can be safely assumed that the answer is not easy as it seems. Yes, there are multiple facets that you should look for whenever you are searching for it.
Keeping in mind the utmost need of answering this question and making it easier for our online researchers, we have compiled a list a few features that contribute towards the overall performance of the product.
Some of them are:

For example, you go to a restaurant and if you don't face any issue placing the product near you without disturbing anyone then it means that it is providing you all the ease the world.
- Baby Protection
Whenever you are searching online for the best pack and play, make sure that you keep a keen eye on the fact that it provides protection to the child. It covers various aspects like harm from product parts or choking hazards. Ensure that you take a close eye on each of the facets.
- Easily Cleanable

Officials in Scotland have decided it is fit and proper to take obese children away from their parents. In particular, parents of four obese children had received warnings from officials regarding the weight of their children. As those warnings were not heeded, those officials proceeded to remove the children from their parent's home.
According to the Daily Mail, the three daughters are aged 11, seven, and one, and the only boy is five, and belong to obese parents. The family lived in government housing for two years, called a "Big Brother" house, where they were the subject of government scrutiny. A social worker was present during all meals to monitor the family, and imposed a strict curfew as well as set of rules regarding their lifestyle.
Regarding the living situation, the mother complained, "It feels like even prisoners have more human rights than we do." The father explained, "To have a social worker stand and watch you eat is intolerable."

Richard Fuld had a $66 million payday in 2000 because, well, he was a great chief executive officer, now wasn't he?
Though the Internet bubble popped and the Nasdaq peaked in 2001, he made another $105.2 million. In 2002, he bagged yet another $28.7 million; 2003, $52.9 million; 2004, $41.8 million; 2005, $104.4 million; 2006, $27.3 million; 2007, $40 million.
His tab for eight years of CEO work came to $466.3 million.
You may still remember the name of his company. It was called Lehman Brothers. In 2008, it set a record as history's largest bankruptcy, setting off the nuclear reaction we now call the financial crisis and cementing America's future as a socialist state for giant banks and corporations.
Fuld is among the cast of characters enumerated in a retrospective report released by the Institute for Policy Studies: "Executive Excess 2013. Bailed Out, Booted, Busted: A 20-Year Review of America's Top-Paid CEOs." Before 2008, he made the list of America's top 25 highest-paid executives for eight years in a row.
"To be in the top 25 for eight consecutive years before you crash and burn the economy, it's just unbelievable," said Sarah Anderson, one of the report's authors.
Her study analyzed 500 corporate executive positions that have been listed in The Wall Street Journal's annual executive pay surveys over the past 20 years.
When she began this research, she expected bailed-out, booted and busted CEOs would make up maybe 15% of the sample. But no, it tallied 38%.
Watch a video report on the study.
"These poorly performing chief executives either wound up getting fired, had to pay massive settlements or fines related to fraud charges, or led firms that crashed or had to be bailed out during the 2008 financial crisis," the report says.
• CEOs whose firms received taxpayer bailouts or ceased to exist held 22% of these 500 slots over the past two decades.
• CEOs who were forced out of their jobs made up 8%. (This is not bad work, if you can get it: The average golden parachute was valued at $48 million.)
• CEOs who led companies paying significant fraud-related fines or settlements comprised another 8% of the sample. (Most of these settlements totaled more than $100 million.)

Dordogne experiences fairly mild winters and moderate summers, which can be long and very warm at times, making it the best time of year to visit Dordogne and Lot. Average summer daytime highs range from 77°F to 95°F (25°C to 35°C) with occasional storms and showers. Spring and autumn are mild with a higher chance of rain, while in late spring heavy rainfall can occur. Winters are generally mild with short periods of cold weather and with frequent rain. The region experiences variations in weather depending on the local area, due to the variable landscape, and things like rainfall and temperature can vary from village to village, making conditions quite unpredictable. No matter what time of year one visits it is a good idea to take a rain jacket. Summer is peak tourism season but many visitors find the off-season pleasant in Dordogne and Lot.

Let's be honest. There are some dud stocking stuffers. Finding a toothbrush poking out the top of your stocking or an orange bulging at the bottom does beg the question, "What was Santa thinking?"
To avoid an epic fail or, at the very least, a tiny teardrop on Christmas morning, here are five stocking stuffers with two important things in common:
• They are top sellers on Candy.com (a.k.a. proven winners)
• There's something about each item that makes it special
You be the judge, though. Don't take my word for it.
1. Sévigny's Peppermint Ribbon Candy
What makes it special? This paper thin peppermint ribbon candy is made in Brockton, Mass., by the family-owned candy company, F.B. Washburn. It's truly a rare gem that won't break the bank! Each 4 oz. box is $2.95.
2. Zotz Strings
What makes this special? Zotz are 100% nostalgic fun. Imported from Italy, these hard candies have been around since 1968. (The "I Dream of Jeanie," "Gilligan's Island," and "Addams Family" era.) The "fun" part comes from the candy's surprise sour fizzy centers and getting a whole string of them. Zotz Strings are available in six fruit flavors, including apple, cherry, watermelon, lemon, grape, and orange.
3. Mini Hot Tamales and Mike and Ike Gum Dispensers
What makes this special? These 9.5-inch plastic bubbles dispense gum that's shaped and flavored to match classic Hot Tamales and Mike and Ike candies. Put one of these on your desk and watch your office turn into Grand Central Station.
4. Baileys Chocolate Tube
What makes this special? Baileys Irish Cream + Turin Chocolate + Alcohol-Free = Holiday Cheer For Everyone. Plus, the 7-ounce chocolate-filled tubes fit perfectly in the neck of a stocking.
5. Candy.com Gift Cards
What makes this special? It's a convenient e-card that you simply print and drop in a stocking—and you can buy one for as little as $5. It also introduces friends and family to their own private Candy Land, which is way more fun than Walmart or Target. The best part? You don't need to leave your house to get this sweet gift. ?
p.s. – If none of these ideas grab you, take a look at Candy.com's Holiday Sweet Deals. Most of these Web Busters can be squeezed into a stocking. Last holiday tip: Take 10% off your entire Candy.com order today (Cyber Monday!) with webcode cyber10.

A little of this, a little of that ŌĆ"
Based on recent discussion by the Rhode Island Interscholastic LeagueŌĆÖs PrincipalsŌĆÖ Committee on Athletics, it might be time to chisel in stone the following commandment:
ŌĆ£Thou shalt not alter the makeup of divisions in non-realignment years.ŌĆØ
The time has come to take a hard line on teams petitioning the PCOA to move up or down in the midst of a given realignment cycle. The 2013-14 school term marks the conclusion of a two-year realignment, a precursor to the presumed changes to the realignment formula that figure to take effect in 2014-15.
LetŌĆÖs go back to Monday, June 17 when events furthered the belief that itŌĆÖs best to leave well enough alone. The PrincipalsŌĆÖ Committee was being asked to consider three divisional relocation requests before voting. Two of the requests were from the same sport (girlsŌĆÖ soccer) while the third involved the girlsŌĆÖ basketball team at Woonsocket High.
Presented to the board in an order that on the surface appeared to have some strategy behind it, the PCOA first heard the plea on Warwick VetsŌĆÖ behalf to move from Division I to Division II in girlsŌĆÖ soccer. Documents were presented that detailed the injuries and the significance they played in the HurricanesŌĆÖ 1-13 league record in 2012.
The vast majority of the members were moved and voted 12-2 to allow Warwick Vets to compete in Division II next year ŌĆō a non-realignment year.
With that, Division I girlsŌĆÖ soccer went from 15 teams to 14. Teams adhered to a 14-game schedule last fall, so observers wondered if that would mean the 2013 schedule would now include one fewer league game?
Hold on a second.
The ink on Warwick VetsŌĆÖ request had barely dried when the second girlsŌĆÖ soccer request was laid before the PCOA. This one involved Exeter/West Greenwich and the Scarlet KnightsŌĆÖ desire to compete in the stateŌĆÖs top division after posting a 13-0-1 regular-season record and winning the Division II title.
On the surface, it looked like a silky smooth transfer. One team wants up, the other wants to move down.
As the PCOAŌĆÖs 9-5 vote in favor of placing EWG in Division I suggests, however, not everyone was comfortable with reconfiguring the divisions for the coming school year ŌĆō a year supposedly devoid of realignment matters.
The final piece of business involved Woonsocket and its girlsŌĆÖ hoops program. Even though the girlsŌĆÖ basketball committee had denied the Villa NovansŌĆÖ request to drop from Division I to II ŌĆō speaking on behalf of the girlsŌĆÖ basketball committee, Bay View Principal Colleen Gribbin said Woonsocket was informed that ŌĆ£they could not move during the two-year realignmentŌĆØ ŌĆō the item was still published on the PCOAŌĆÖs agenda.
Unlike Warwick Vets girlsŌĆÖ soccer, Woonsocket girlsŌĆÖ basketball held up its 1-17 Division I record in 2012-13 as circumstantial evidence why a change in divisional scenery was necessary. The Hurricanes had already demonstrated that when youŌĆÖre going before the PCOA with a realignment request, win-loss data shouldnŌĆÖt be the underlying reason.
ŌĆ£This yearŌĆÖs team struggled mightily, losing 17 games by an average of 32 points. Many teams would play their junior varsity against our varsity,ŌĆØ was what Tom Mezzanotte, RIIL executive director, read from a letter sent by WoonsocketŌĆÖs camp.
The committee unanimously denied WoonsocketŌĆÖs request (14-0), though the subject matter did not fade quietly into the night.
By rubber-stamping a teamŌĆÖs petition to move up ŌĆō EWG girlsŌĆÖ soccer joins Mount Pleasant football as the second team this year to receive clearance from the PCOA to play in a higher division next year ŌĆō it sends what Gribbin referenced as a ŌĆ£mixed message.ŌĆØ Why does realignment exist in the first place if teams are going to present cases why they should be re-classified?
ŌĆ£Are we doing the right thing by moving a team up?ŌĆØ asked Mezzanotte.
In a word, no. To this observer, an agreement was breached. The realignment period lasts for two years, which if you think about it isnŌĆÖt a long period of time. Teams should honor the process and resist the temptation to tamper.
LetŌĆÖs recall the PCOAŌĆÖs January 2011 meeting. Three football teams ŌĆō Ponaganset, Pilgrim and North Kingstown ŌĆō sought to move down a division. All cases were rejected.
Then thereŌĆÖs the 2009 instance when Woonsocket girlsŌĆÖ basketball wished to move up to Division I after winning the Division II title the previous year. That proposal was approved and was accompanied by additional movement ŌĆō Barrington up to Division I, Toll Gate down to Division II and North Smithfield down to Division III.
The long list of transactions came during non-realignment years. They also seem to drive home the ŌĆ£mixed messagesŌĆØ point made by Gribbin earlier this month.
IŌĆÖm sure there are teams across the state that would like nothing more than to have the opportunity to either move down ŌĆō like Woonsocket girlsŌĆÖ basketball desired and Warwick VetsŌĆÖ girlsŌĆÖ soccer was ultimately granted ŌĆō or up a division, a la Exeter girlsŌĆÖ soccer and Mount Pleasant football. My response is simple: Wait and see what the next realignment brings and take comfort in knowing that itŌĆÖs not that far off.
Otherwise, the PCOA may wind up getting more than what they bargained for.
While Doc RiversŌĆÖ non-committal attitude regarding his return to the Boston Celtics was on full display following the teamŌĆÖs playoff-elimination loss to New York, there lies an interesting piece of evidence that makes perfect sense following the long, drawn-out ordeal that culminated with him taking the coaching reigns of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Initially, a book entitled ŌĆ£Into the Green: Doc Rivers, the Boston Celtics and the Modern NBAŌĆØ was scheduled to be released this October. A few weeks after RiversŌĆÖ wavering remarks about continuing to coach the Celtics, the book authored by WEEI afternoon co-host Michael Holley was changed to a March 2014 release.
On Friday, two days after Rivers was officially introduced as the ClippersŌĆÖ next head coach, a title search on barnesandnoble.com yielded no returns.
While we donŌĆÖt know the true reason why the change in the release date regarding this particular book took place, we feel that RiversŌĆÖ remarks back in early May were integral in setting the wheels in motion.
With the Red Sox, itŌĆÖs refreshing to have actual baseball problems to worry about rather than the shenanigans that stunk up the clubhouse the past two years. Instead of chicken and beer or players complaining about the manager, our chief concern is whether the pitching staff will endure. ThatŌĆÖs more on par with the topics people want to discuss regarding Boston baseball.
