Read: Something Needs To Start Happening In The Next Week
At ESPN.com, Scott Burnside writes that within the next week one of the two sides will need to make a move in the others direction in order to save the season.
Burnside says, "with the clock ticking, we still think the call will come and the two sides will reconvene one last time to save a part of this season and bring a merciful end to this exercise in silliness."
He adds that following a week of having a tentative deal and ratification and then a one week training camp, hockey can be played by the start of January, but only if the two sides get to work on making a deal.
Chris Botta tweets "If NHL and PA don't finalize a CBA within 10 days, it would be time for Bettman to set a deadline to save this season."

SPRING GLEN - Jerry Dolinski, age 73, passed away May 21, 2012 at Castleview Hospital in Price after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born Sept. 24, 1938 in Libau Manitoba, Canada to Steve and Jean Gursky Dolinski.
On May 18, 1962, he married the love of his life, Deon Thomas in Smithfield. Jerry always stated that "she swept him off his feet because she was the best polka dancer and he liked what he saw."
Jerry was a longtime resident of Carbon County who was employed as a mechanic at Braztah, Soldier Creek and Plateau coal mines. Jerry was highly respected in the mining industry and he made many lasting friendships over the years. His passion was to be a mechanic and anyone who knew Jerry, knew he had a case of "tinkeritis". Some of his favorite hobbies were golfing with his sons-in-law, Rocky, David and Lou, his best friend, Ralph Dyett and brother Mike. He also enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing, bowling and working on cars. He loved sharing time with his family on Sundays and was always ready for a Wendover trip. Jerry was an avid subscriber to Days of our Lives and he never missed an episode.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to everyone at Castleview Hospital and Dr. Shane Gagon for their expert care and service.
Jerry is survived by one son and three daughters, Randy (Tina) Dolinski, Helper, Deborah (David) Pilling, Price, Sherri Thorsen, Price, Dawna (Lou) Nickel, Goodyear, Ariz; his faithful companion, Shadow; 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; sister, Florence (Harold) O'Sullivan, brothers, Mike (Myrna) Dolinski, Donald Dolinski, many loving nieces and nephews, all of Canada; his wonderful in-laws in Cache County including Marie Archibald of Wellsville; close friends, Renate Nickel, Ralph and Dee Dyett, Rudy and Alma Rae Procarione, Bill and Judy Burton, Gene and Barbara Strate, Raymond and Valene Jones, Dean and Helen Garrett, Bud and Joan Pilling and many other dear friends.
Preceded in death by parents, wife, and son-in-law Rocky Thorsen.
Funeral service, Tuesday, May 29, 2012, 11 a.m., Mitchell Funeral Home (233 E. Main Street) in Price. Family will be at Mitchell's Monday evening from 6 - 8 p.m. and Tuesday one hour prior to service. Interment, Cliffview Cemetery, Price. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome daily and may share memories of Jerry at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

(ii) the proportion of the Federal Government market for the product currently served by small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, or businesses operating in labor surplus areas;
(B) The corporation shall announce in a publication designed to most effectively provide notice to potentially affected private vendors the plans to produce any new product or to significantly expand production of an existing product. The announcement shall also indicate that the analysis prepared under subparagraph (A) is available through the corporation and shall invite comments from private industry regarding the new production or expanded production.
(C) The corporation shall directly advise those affected trade associations that the corporation can reasonably identify the plans for new production or expanded production, and the corporation shall invite such trade associations to submit comments on those plans.
(D) The corporation shall provide to the board of directors—

On June 28, 1919, the First World War officially came to an end when France and Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles with the Allies. The German delegation, which had been forced to sign the punitive agreement, signaled their attitude by breaking the ceremonial pen.
The treaty required Germany to pay such onerous reparations to the victors that the country was impoverished for the next two decades. The terms were regarded with such bitterness in Germany that many historians believe they were directly responsible for the rise of Nazism and World War II.
One little footnote that has been almost forgotten: President Woodrow Wilson, the most powerful person at that conference, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1920 for his efforts there. As Henry Kissinger could testify, it would not be the last time the "peace" prize had very little to do with achieving a just and lasting peace.

I want to enlist for the first time into OCS. I meet all the other qualifications but I'm not sure if I will pass the criminal check for security clearance. I was arrested once for petty larceny about $40 in food. When I was 17 I ran away, I thought I was cool and I ran out of money pretty fast. This charge was a sealed charged as a juvenile but I understand that means nothing to the FBI. This charge is a misdemeanor; it was my only arrest and run in with the law. The arrest was also about 8 years ago. I have a spotless record since and Im a current school bus driver. Is this charge something that would stop me from enlisting non-prior into traditonal OCS? Should I be concerned?

I'm lovin' this new sign in Budapest. Spotted on Critical Mass Hungary's FB page.
Nobody promotes cycling so positively as those brilliant Hungarians.
Does that mean "car love bicycle"??? We need those in Australia
car wants to by a cyclist:)
and still most of the cyclist are riding on the sidewalk among pedestrians. a sign doesn't make biking culture...
Wrong. _Some_ beginners do. Most use the road properly.
This post gives us support and strength. Thanks, Mikael! :)
Very nice but we need some proof that this works, or even that the non-loving see it.
In the USA several states pass laws requiring motor vehicles to give cyclists 3ft (about 1m) when passing, but I have seen no proof that this does anything except create a little awareness. But boosters publicly say that it will make a big difference, while the head of the cycling coalition in one state told me privately that he thought it was just about awareness.
There is good communication - and by the way I am 1/4 to 3/4 Hungarian depending on who you ask - and there are good solutions: This sign looks to be on a 50km/h street, right? If this was on a 50km/h street in Copenhagen you would be laughing at it, Mikael.
Please don't patronize people in "Eastern Europe" as you have done in Spain. They deserve the same infra. as Northerners, just like they have same highways, iPhones and whatnot. If indeed the Hungaraians and Budapesters are making some real changes, tell us what they are, with statistics.
Unfortunately, as this sign proves it, the Hungarian hardcore cycling community promotes vehicular cycling, instead of demanding segregated bike infrastructure like the dutch and danish model. On the other hand the sign is funny :).
I would guess that the "hardcore cycling community" and most groups which support normal, boring cycling (the non-fashion conscious version of Cycle Chic TM) are not promoting VC as much as they are overselling the good feel without the real deal. Car companies can put this graphic on their website as part of their "community engagement" strategy.
Give the Budapest cycling movement credit. Since the city's first Critical Mass ride was held in 2004, cycling levels have grown tremendously. Anyone who's been here during this period will confirm this. There is no citywide figure for modal share, but the bike traffic monitoring that has been done shows impressive numbers: http://cyclingsolution.blogspot.com/2010/09/heavy-traffic-on-little-ring-road.html.
Sure Hungarians deserve the cycling infrastructure of Copenhagen, but you don't get there overnight. Here's a post I did that puts the car-loves-bike sign in some context: http://cyclingsolution.blogspot.com/2011/07/pictograms-bridge-differences-on-margit.html
Hey, my comment is off topic. I'm a bike lover and messenger from Vienna and i'm visiting Copenhagen right now. I spent my day chasing couriers and searching for cheap hotels, both rather unsuccesful ;)
Does anybody wanna meet up for a ride or a drink? I'm in staying 'till tuesday noon.
Here's my email: firstname.lastname@example.com
And here's my homepage: www.simongraf.com
I would be pleased to meet you,
Hello! I just found this article in our local paper from London, Ontario Canada and thought you would like it. London is absolutely a 'car city' so it's nice to see something like this in the paper!
All the best,
To the 1/4 Hungarian person: read the blog. We cover these topics and have done for four years. And Hungary is in Central Europe. Calling it Eastern Europe is a faux pas.
@Mikael- Eastern Europe was in quotes. Surely someone with a "literary background" such as yourself knows what that means.
@Greg - Why no hard numbers on modal split? Why do you leave "...naturally, no city administration wants to go there." - your opinion that sacrificing motor vehicle space is politically impossible - to the end of your blog entry? That is the reality which that sign symbolizes. Shared Space is not working for cyclists (check the "View from the Cycle Path" blog) and it sounds like pedestrians get a raw deal here, and without further infrastructure improvements - and hopeful further increases in bike modal split - it will just get worse for them.
It is great how you illustrate the sliminess of the Budapest politicians and unfortunate that you end up falling into some of the same wishy-washy-ness in communication.
To Anonymous part-Hungarian person,
You ask why Budapest doesn't have hard data on cycling modal share. It's because City Hall hasn't funded a bike traffic count since the early '90s. And the reason it hasn't done that -- to anticipate your question -- is because the city administrators haven't made cycling enough of a priority. It's crazy, but the only systematic bike traffic counting that we have is done on the Little Ring Road by an automated bike counter -- paid for entirely through small, private donations. That's cool or sad, depending on how you look at it. If you want to get to the bottom of this, please phone the mayor's office at 361-327-1000. Your anonymous blog comments are certainly appreciated, but I'm not sure they're reaching the people who can actually make a difference.
I guess I'm not surprised that the Dutch blog 'View from the Bike Path' looks askance at the concept of shared space. In the Netherlands, shared space has been a step backwards for cyclists: Implementation of this concept has involved the removal of cycle tracks! Imagine that! On Budapest's Margit Hid, it's a slightly different context: the bridge never had cycling tracks (or cycling anything!) to begin with. In fact, there's not a single, proper cycling track in the whole city.
I agree with you that that sucks. I really wish Budapest had better cycling facilities, and I'm sorry that I have to celebrate such meager advances as the creation of a pseudo-bike lane that bloggers from the Netherlands wouldn't deign to spit on. But I'm living and bicycling in Budapest, and I feel obliged to give local cycling activists their due -- even when they don't achieve everything I want them to.
Needless to say, though, I would welcome the help of a hard-hitting anonymous comment poster such as yourself if you could come to Budapest and set some higher standards.

iPad: Desperately Seeking Guest Mode
If you ever share your iPad, you may be familiar with the anxiety that can cause. Careless swipes or prying eyes can both cause some real problems. Creating multiple user accounts or a guest account could solve this, but Apple hasn't given us that feature so far. Maybe that's because it wants to maximize sales, but it's been long enough. iPads need guest accounts as soon as possible.
May 10, 2012 5:00 AM PT
After you get over the worry that kids or grandmothers are going to drop your iPad and then accidentally trod on it or stab it with the leg of a walker, other problems quickly arise: For instance, what sort of iMessage or Reminder is going to pop up from your crass buddy and mortify your grandma? Which email from the friend who won't stop sending the joke emails is going show up in front of a kid?
What happens when a friend or family member wants to check out the iPad or listen to music or watch a movie or surf the Web ... and then hours later start poking around? How much chaos can they create with some curious tapping and swiping?
Might they accidentally accept a calendar invite signing up me for a meeting that I do not -- or cannot -- attend?
My iPad 2 is meant for me. I don't really want anyone messing it up. There are things I'm writing, to-do lists, reminders, and while I DO NOT have any Anthony Weiner-style self-portraits to worry about, I'd prefer that family photos not get emailed out to business contacts.
Kid Rule #1: If They Can Get Into It, They Will
If you know anything about kids, for the most part they will happily focus on squashing bugs and adding up numbers in various apps made for children. But inevitably their curiosity will lead them down other paths, and suddenly they are connecting to accounts or, depending on the age, systematically going down a list of your business emails, swiping and deleting, swiping and deleting. It's almost like a game!
That is, until you realize that your email account is nicely tied into your company's email server and those messages may be deleted ... or worse, totally out of your consciousness because you never read them and now you don't know they even existed.
Depending on the email, this could lead to a career-changing U-turn.
The iPad Needs a Guest User Mode
The easy answer to this problem -- and all the app-related issues that could also arise -- is an instant-on guest user mode. You could lock down some apps so they wouldn't launch, limit users to seeing only a certain set of apps, or you could lock down various services. There are dozens and dozens of ways you could implement and create a guest user mode, or "safe" mode, and I don't really care how it's done. But I do know that we need it. Yesterday, in fact.
The iPad is a very sharable device. It's easy to hand over, easy for someone to touch and use and enjoy. But it's increasingly used for sensitive information, contextual information, private information, in addition to watching "Dora the Explorer" on road trips.
It's a magical device, clearly, that spans every sort of user, and that's why we could use some basic controls.
Apple Just Wants Us to Buy More iPads!
I can see where Apple considered multi-user support, and then realized that it was too complicated to deliver ... and by that I mean it was a layer of complexity that would slow sales and the eager use of the iPad. That makes sense.
But what if Apple knows how to do it but simply puts it on the back burner to simmer because they know keeping it off iPads will lead to more iPad sales? Dads will only put up with their children happily tapping the little Xs to delete one jiggling app after another for so long before they buy an iPad for the kids. Or find out that their action crime drama movie was deleted to free up space for "Toy Story 3."
It's all a good business plan, at least until enough people start thinking things like, "Damn it, Apple is a $100 billion company ... how in the heck can this be any sort of engineering or programming hurdle?"
It's not. If Apple wanted us to have a guest mode or safe mode or multi-user support right now, we'd have it on our iPads. Seriously. If Apple can deliver Siri, surely multi-user support is far less of a challenge.
'Known Issue, Being Investigated'
As it turns out, according to a developer who submitted a suggestion requesting multi-user support for the iPad, Apple is well aware of the desire. Rumor site AppleInsider published Apple's response to the (anonymous) developer, so now it's clear that multi-user support is a known issue that is being investigated by Apple's engineers.
And now the real waiting begins ...

Putting the together the biggest run of the game in the second quarter and then limiting Malone comeback attempts in the second half, the Ogdensburg Free Academy Girls Basketball team gained a 2-0 start to NAC Central play with a 44-38 win over Malone on Friday.
A pair of sophomores provided the offensive spark as Susie Morrow converted three times inside and Riley Luckie buried two three-pointers, with one coming at the halftime buzzer, as the Devils took a 27-13 lead with a 15-4 second quarter advantage.
The Huskies (1-1 Central) used swarming fullcourt pressure defense to cut the difference to 41-36 with 1:36 to play but the Devils secured heir programs first win against Malone in 10 years with a putback by Morrow and a sweeping hook shot by Felicia Barr in the lane.
Getting a win against Malone is always special because they have such a great program. I was very pleased with our defense but we all know that we have a lot of work to do offensively, said OFA Coach Lynn Blevins who will lead his team into away games at Norwood-Norfolk and Carthage (7 p.m. varsity start) on Monday and Tuesday before hosting Potsdam in an NAC Central contest on Friday.
I was happy with the way we played tonight. We played very hard and they girls really wanted this one. It was a nice win.
Luckie finished with 13 points and four assists, Morrow tallied 12 points with seven rebounds and Barr finished with eight points and five rebounds. Courtney Sherwin and Meg Dodge each struck for threes as the Devils gained a 6-2 advantage from beyond the arc.
The Huskies were led by Morgan Fountain who tallied 11 points, backcourt mate Janelle Heden who netted 10 with a pair of threes and Rachel Lamica who scored 10 points in the low blocks.
The OFA JVs dropped a 52-34 decision to Malone after winning their opener 37-24 over Gouverneur. Erin Tooley led the Devils against Malone with 12 points and Taylor Perry and Kristen Snyder tallied four. Malone was powered by a 22-point performance from Taylor Poirier.
Tooley and Snyder both scored 10 points in the win over Gouverneur and Keira Johnson netted six.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The idea of a community hotel, owned and operated by local business people died in January of 1959 when the New Hotel Company, sold the partially finished building and the property to the Price Lodge 1550 Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
The hotel had been a dream for six years and had sold almost 2,900 shares of stock. The organizers, one of which was at the time Mayor J. Bracken Lee, had dreamt of a multi-story hotel that would be the showpiece of the city and a place for weary travelers to stay and relax. It was expected that the hotel would not only accommodate visitors, but also would be of such quality that it would become a destination. But financial problems and other squabbles ended the dream as the property was sold, with only one ground story of the building done. Today that building is the Elks Lodge on Carbon Avenue and 100 North.
The debate over television broadcasts also was still on-going in 1959. In January the Carbon County Commission asked the county clerk to get applications from the Federal Communications Commission for putting a translator that would relay Salt Lake televisions stations to Carbon County somewhere on the mountains above Wattis. At the time some private concerns that had been broadcasting television in the area had lodged a complaint seeking a restraining order against the county on such action in district court. But the complaint had gone no further at the time and the county decided to proceed. By October, nearly $4,000 in equipment had been ordered and the road to the mountains above Wattis was nearly complete to install it when it arrived.
But the controversy wasn't over. In late October a restraining order was once again sought from owners of local cable television systems and some private citizens challenging the constitutionality of a state statute that allowed government to operate broadcasting systems.
In late January the new courthouse that had been under construction for a year and a half was ready to be moved into and dedicated. The building cost more than a half million dollars and was considered state of the art at the time. Over 500 people attended the dedication and open house that followed.
In May as the school year ended, a tradition also ended. Up until that time from 1938 on, Carbon College and Carbon High School had operated on the same campus. With the construction and completion of the new Carbon High School building where it sits today, that operation agreement ended. In July the first principal of the new school was appointed. He was Loman P. Hutchings who came to the area from Roosevelt. At the same time students from the east county area who had been attending the old Carbon High, were being moved to the new East Carbon High School as well. School at both buildings opened in September, and dedications for the buildings were held in December. At the time Carbon High had 810 students and East Carbon High had 333.
Water restrictions on Price residents were put into effect in June. Price residents could not use outside water at all including watering lawns, nor for washing cars.
"This action was taken by the city council yesterday morning when it became apparent that the (city's) water tanks were being depleted faster than the water was coming into them," stated the Sun Advocate on June 11. "In fact, Tuesday night the tanks were almost empty and water was turned off in certain sections of the city to allow a build up within the tanks."
At the time the city was installing a new water line from Castle Gate and the rapid growth and demand for water in the area was outstripping the system's capacity. On June 18 it was reported in the paper that the restrictions, once thought to be very temporary had to be continued. The next week a schedule of outside water use was set for alternative days based on the odd/even number of the address of the property.
A bond issue for an even bigger water line was being considered at the time as well. On Sept. 1 a bond election was held to garner another $500,000 for a new water facility to help solve the problems. It passed by a 9 to 1 margin.
On July 1, Carbon College became a branch of the University of Utah. This was done when Governor George Clyde signed a bill from the legislature in March that had proposed the change. At the time it was felt that this affiliation would lead to expanded programs, a higher sense of visibility for the college and eventually many four year programs on campus.
A fire in early August destroyed Price Lumber and Hardware. The fire was started when lightning struck and air conditioning unit on the building, subsequently causing nearly $70,000 in damage. The lightening actually traveled through the entire electrical system of the building, causing the breaker boxes to fuse together and creating a force that blew out all the windows in the back of the building. The overheated, melted wires then set fire to the wood structure of the building.
At the end of the year tragedy struck the East Carbon area as the swimming pool at the new East Carbon High claimed a victim. A swimming party after a basketball game between Grantsville and East Carbon led to the drowning of John Allan Frasier of Grantsville. The boy drowned on a final swim across the pool with two other players from his team at about 9:30 p.m. On Dec. 23. He was the last one off the diving board as the other players went into the dressing room and missed a few minutes later. Before the team could react to look for him a student saw him on the bottom of the pool from the balcony.

Research on Effectiveness of the PREPARE/ENRICH Program
PREPARE Outcome Study:
Individual vs. Group Feedback - 2011 (click here)
Futris & colleagues
To further advance our understanding of the efficacy of inventory-based premarital education programs, this study examined whether the effects of the PREPARE program varied by delivery format. Following participation in the program, engaged couples exhibited positive gains in knowledge, felt more confident in their relationship, engaged in more positive conflict management behaviors, and felt more satisfied with their relationship. No differences were found between participants who completed a series of conjoint sessions versus a 1-day group workshop. These findings highlight the robustness of premarital education and suggest group workshops can have similar effectiveness as the more prevalent conjoint sessions.
Effectiveness of Adapted PREPARE-ENRICH Program in Hungary (click here)
Gabor Mihalec
This study evaluated the impact of a marital enrichment program called CONNECT that was based conceptually on the PREPARE/ENRICH Program and couple exercises. The program significantly improved the couples' relationship on the 12 PREPARE-ENRICH scales while the control group decreased their scores.
PREPARE Outcome Study: Feedback vs Only Assessment
Complete Study published in Marriage & Family Journal - 2003 (click here)
Luke Knutson & David H. Olson
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the PREPARE Program (Version 2000) for couples receiving premarital counseling by professionals and clergy trained in the standard 1-day training workshop. There were 153 premarital couples in three groups: the PREPARE Program group (59 couples who received an average of four feedback sessions), the PREPARE No Feedback group (46 couples who received feedback after the post-test), and the Waiting List Control Group (48 couples who received PREPARE and feedback after the post-test).
Results found that only the PREPARE Program group significantly increased their couple satisfaction, while there was no change in the PREPARE No Feedback or the Waiting List Control groups. Couples in the PREPARE Program improved in 10 out of 13 relationship categories, while those in the PREPARE No Feedback group increased in 4 of the 13 categories.
Significant changes were made in the couple types only in the PREPARE Program group, demonstrating a significant impact on 90% of these couples. In the PREPARE Program group, the number of Vitalized couples (the most satisfied type) increased by 52% from pre to post-test. Over half (55%) of the three other couple types (Harmonious, Traditional, and Conflicted) increased one or more levels. For the highest risk couples, the Conflicted types, 83% moved to a more positive couple type.

PREPARE/ENRICH Group Program Highly Rated - 2009 (click here)
In a comprehensive review of eight Marriage Preparation Education Programs (MPEP) by Geniel Childs (2009), the PREPARE/ENRICH Group Program ranked first in Content with a score of 92% and the Instruction Process score was 90%.
The overall Content Score of 92% was based on four criteria: theory and research (97%), context (82%), practice (96%), and premarital predictors (88%). The overall Instruction Process score of 90% was based on two criteria and the scores for those two areas for Teaching Plans was 88% and for Presentation was 92%.
PREPARE/ENRICH and Couple Communication Program - 2007 (click here)
David H. Olson & Sherod Miller
This longitudinal study followed up on 25 married couples one to five years after marriage who had taken both the PREPARE/ENRICH and the Couple Communication programs before marriage. Overall, the results demonstrated the couples were very satisfied with both programs and also found the combination of two programs very valuable. The couples significantly improved their communication, conflict resolution skills and marital satisfaction. Couples reported they found it helpful to their marriage to coach other couples on communication skills.

The Quotable Rebecca West
By: Legacy.com Staff
2 years ago
West's definition of feminism, written 100 years ago in her essay Mr. Chesterton in Hysterics, has fired up generations of activists. And her quotability doesn't end there. Rebecca West had something pithy to say on a wide variety of subjects. A few of our favorites:
On writing: "Fiction and poetry are the only way one can stop time and give an account of an experience and nail it down so that it lasts for ever."
On art: "Any authentic work of art must start an argument between the artist and their audience."
On war: "Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology."
On reading: "In these pages your imaginations, your desires, your passions are given life; Thoughts take shape that turn into dreams and our aspirations all start with a dream. Reading is where those dreams really can come true over and over again."
On chasing one's dreams: "It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion."
On discretion: "If it be ungentlemanly to kiss and tell, it is still further from gentlemanliness to pray and tell."
On good intentions: "If the whole human race lay in one grave, the epitaph on its headstone might well be: 'It seemed a good idea at the time.'"
Rebecca West turned a fine phrase, and there's more where these came from. Interested readers might start with Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, a celebrated travel book written after she visited Yugoslavia. With it, she helped define travel literature as handily as she defined feminism.
