The top headline on Yahoo news this morning was "World gears up to celebrate a fresh start for America." What this country needs is a solid seven minute montage where we all dig thorough our stuff and take anything republican and throw it in the trash. We all roll up our sleeves and just CLEAN. Now get our there and VOTE.
Pick any old cliché about fire (trial by fire, out of the frying pan and into the fire, etc.), and you could apply it directly to Vince's situation as he rides out in a production truck to the dry, sweltering hills of his first movie set since Medellin.
Jean-Claude Van Damme is an international action superstar. With a long line of classics (Bloodsport, Universal Soldier, Timecop, Death Warrant), he has solidified himself as martial arts master and the quintessential action hero. Yet for all his tireless efforts towards the action genre, he can't escape from being the butt of b-movie jokes.

There are some movies that will cause your face to bleed from the constant scratching of it that goes on, simply because you do not understand what is happening, or why it is happening. Though all the key elements of a movie are there, like plot, characters, and a central conflict, the universe seems to say the movie should not exist.
It was basically a non-Halloween this year. I slept most of Sunday but managed to watch Shoot Em Up. I think that if Daniel Craig's beautiful face somehow gets mangled and they need a new Bond character, it should be Clive Owen. That just the kind of brilliant insight you're going to get around here.
Welcome to a new column where we let our many entertainment aficionado readers sound off on matters of immense import. This week's rant comes from Brendon in Seattle, WA. With the news this morning that a previously popular television show will be losing some of its top production talent due to poor ratings, I believe you will find this opinion piece to be both timely and impassioned. Without further adieu, I give you "In Defense of Heroes."

Admit it. There are times in the back of your mind when you want the good guy to lose. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes the star is a just a gigantic wuss who deserves total failure. Here are some that we believe are worth mentioning. 16. Special Agent Starling vs. Hannibal Lecter Eat people, listen to classical music, break out of prison. Repeat. And he killed the principal from Boston Public (everybody wanted to do it; he got there first). Special Agent Starling just ran around and tried to get people out of basement dungeons. Nice work, but there's no money in it. Plus, I tried Chianti with fava beans. It's pretty kick ass. 15. Llewelyn Moss vs. Anton ChigurhTry this just once for a job interview. Before you're called into the office, just fire blast off the doorknob with a CO2 tank. Walk in slowly.
The four kids and Craig manage to escape from the government and become stranded in the Andes mountains, with Craig consistently giving deadpan "you-guys-suck" variety delivery, up until the point where he leaves the group and accidentally runs into a showdown with some kind of super guinea pig.I'm Done With This

Christian Slater and his clone star in a series where one Slater is a superskilled secret agent and the other is a suburban dad. While one clone drives his kids to work, the other dishes the lead out. Unfortunately, the clones never appear in the same scene together, you know in one of those long lost brother sortof…What? They're the same person? Really?
Times are tough. Luckily the Juggernaut that is Screenjunkies has remained relatively unaffected. You might have noticed some interruption in content lately like missing movie reviews and TV recaps.

People, we live in strange times. Florida is leaning toward voting a black man into the oval office. The economy finally said "Oh, I got you GOOD BITCHES! Earnings? Whatever!" And it looks like Paramount is fast tracking the new Footloose. I pray every night that they name it Footlooser. And every morning, we put the news together for you.
Quite possibly the best fucking show on TV right now, if not easily the most offensive and amazingly accurate when it doles out the hits on everything from Anal Probes to Peruvian pan flute bands. If your not a fan, your an idiot! Or a Russian.
Monday Morning. A time for reflection. A time too look back over the weekend and wonder if you made all the right moves, if you did your best keg stand and provided reliable wingman services for your bros. A time for the morning links.
Halloween is almost here. It is the time of year where we honor the memory of the dead and the things they have given us by dressing up like slutty pirates and asking our neighbors to give us snacks.
Last night I had one too many Jamesons. I turned on the TV and watched about five minutes of the Chris Rock special on HBO on demand. Then I started packing up the apartment because my girlfriend and I are moving. Are you thrilled? Here's the morning news, Junkie.

Western Illinois (8-4), which only won one game last fall (1-10 last season) finished in second place with a 5-3 record in the Missouri Valley Conference. And quarterback Matt Barr of the Leathernecks, a Walter Payton Award candidate, was named the Missouri Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year.

Eastern Washington is No.1 with 13 first-place votes, and Stephen F. Austin, a possible second-round opponent for ASU, is No.2 with one-first place vote. William & Mary and Delaware round out the top five.
Wofford is sixth, Jacksonville State, which plays the Terriers at home on Saturday is ninth. The Gamecocks also received one first-place vote; Georgia Southern, which blew out South Carolina State on Saturday and plays at William & Mary in a second-round game on Saturday, is ranked 22nd.
The Mountaineers are 3-0 lifetime against the Missouri Valley Conference. Saturday's second-round game with WIU begins are 12 noon. Our coverage begins at 10 am on AM 1450, WATA.

What is the K-12 Blueprint?
Sponsored by the Intel Corporation, the K-12 Blueprint offers resources for education leaders involved in planning and implementing technology initiatives. Whether you are launching a one-to-one or BYO program, moving from print textbooks to digital content, revamping the curriculum to improve STEM learning, rethinking assessment, or embarking on (or continuing to support) any other ambitious technology-supported initiative, Intel's Blueprint model can help.
Download a PDF overview
Why Intel® Education Created the K-12 Blueprint
In hopes of preparing all students—regardless of socioeconomic status—for the modern workforce through digital inclusion, Intel hosted a small conference in 2000, bringing together a group of roughly 30 leaders in the education eco system for a series of collaborative, face-to-face meetings. The participants worked together to create the founding document and principles behind the K-12 Blueprint. The K-12 Blueprint model was based on these conversations and brainstorming sessions—all ideas recorded and all minutes transcribed—with Intel going back to the group to get additional snippets or clarification points.
The discussion focused on the common areas necessary for successful implementation of digital curriculum. Seven areas— Leadership, Policy, Curriculum and Assessment, Funding, Infrastructure, Professional Development, and Results—came up consistently during the discussions, with these are forming the structure of the K-12 Blueprint model.
Intel's K-12 Blueprint website has grown since its initial inception, with a dedicated team responsible for updating the site with current education-technology news and downloadable tools. The K12 Blueprint expanded into Canada with www.k12blueprint.ca in 2012. The K12 Blueprint also has an active Twitter feed, with news outlets such as the New York Times and USA Today picking up some of the tweets.
Please explore this collection of resources and see how today's educators can harness the power of data-driven decision-making to optimize instruction and staff productivity. The K12 Blueprint is committed to delivering the latest solutions to help power students for real-world success in both school and beyond.

Key elements for building effective and impactful technology initiatives.
The success of any effective technology implementation depends on inspirational and supportive leadership from superintendents and school boards to parents to informal teacher leaders.
Effective federal, state, and local policy provides the foundation that enables classroom innovation to flourish. Key aspects of effective policy are flexibility, frequent evaluation, and the ability to modify policy as needed to engender true transformation.
Curriculum and Assessment
Teacher involvement, clear program goals, assessment measures, and a sharp vision for how curriculum, content, and instruction need to evolve in order to prepare students for the challenges of the future are all essential.
The costs and complexity required to implement technology programs are enough to discourage many educators or administrators. Despite these challenges, countless schools and districts — including those in low-income communities — have found the funds to launch or expand winning technology projects.
Schools are working to find cost-effective solutions that support quality teaching and learning, as well as streamlined administration and management. District leaders must consider infrastructure issues ranging from the choice of mobile computing devices to wireless networking and security implementations.
Professional Development
Professional development is one of the most frequently overlooked aspects of implementing a technology initiative. Effective professional development is ongoing, frequently reinforced, well-supported, and embedded into the daily life of schools.
Every successful education technology should not only end with great results, but also begin with those in mind. Specifying a program's goals from day one and determining how progress will be measured is a crucial first step. Monitoring results every step of the way—stopping at various points to assess the overall impact of the initiative and determine necessary changes—is also vital to ensuring the success.

About time! Maybe they can do something with the obsolete "Nav Lights".
I agree that there should be some updating. Maybe even more hand flying when deemed prudent. However, one size does NOT fit all! Just remember all those smaller, single-pilot operations out there whose pilots depend on a good autopilot to reduce their workload, especially in high-density areas. I have certainly seen over the years that stick-and-rudder skills have decreased. Though this, I believe, goes back to primary training. So, anyway, when making sweeping statements, please remember we must be considerate to everyone in the community.
Bring back the good old stick and rudder...
I agree... I think pilots should be required to hand fly a certain amount of flying and should also have to manually fly VOR-VOR Navigation. I had a high time pilot to give me the following discrepancy... "At station crossing both NAV 1 and NAV 2 needles go hard to the right, then hard to the left and then back to center"... Hello people.. What happened to basic navigation skills. Now I have a plane at an out station, the pilot did not stay with the plane. The FMS is on MEL, 2 INOP Navs due to an IDIOT, and no qualified mechanic to sign it off. Had to road trip a crew in with a test box, op ck the system, and get the plane moving.... Maybe they need more basic recurrent training in navigation in the simulator.
What type of aircraft was it?
Hi Sparkie,
Just curious.....are you a pilot or maybe involved with maintenance with the operator? I'm not being critical,
Just trying to figure your background.
I am an a/c mechanic for almost 20 years. Currently working Maintenance Control for a Regional Airline. I also have some piloting back ground, but only for pleasure. Most of my experience is Avionics working under part 121 for most of my aircraft history.
Atta-boy Sparkie,
My background is in Aviation as well. As a career Pliot, I understand your plight. During initial training with the Airlines and/ or Type training on various Aircraft, some but not all give initial on the avionics, and then it is up to the crew member to further their knowledge of the systems. It also depends largely on the training facility to have the proper instructors that know the systems in and out. I have seen both sides. In the end it comes down to the crew to have the knowledge and foresight to work with the rest of the "team" and not just lay the ball on the ground.. :)

LOWVILLE Lewis County legislators on Wednesday moved forward with a fee change to the countys all-terrain vehicle permit system despite opposition from ATV club members.
Lawmakers voted 9-1 to change the ATV permit fee to $65 and eliminate any club member discounts, with the intent of paying clubs only for trail work they complete. Legislator Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson, was opposed.
Mr. Stanford as well as several club members in attendance expressed concern that the switch would discourage riders from joining clubs.
Myself and many of our club members are against this, said Clifford White from the Highmarket Wheelers ATV Club. Youre killing the clubs. Thats what it boils down to.
Initial permits have cost $40 for an ATV owned by a member of a club in the Tug Hill Adirondack ATV Association and $80 for a machine owned by a nonmember, although nearly all riders have become club members to qualify for the discount.
Under the new plan, which will take effect once the law is filed with the state, all riders would be charged $65 for their initial permits, with a multipermit rate of $20 per additional machine remaining in effect.
The permit fee increase would provide more funding that the county could distribute to clubs to offset trail development costs in their areas, according to legislators.
The (Economic Development) Committee wants to work with the clubs that are doing work on the off-road trails, said committee member Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville.
The county contracts with the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce to sell ATV permits, with the chamber receiving a 10 percent administrative fee.
During the first years of the program, riders who bought permits could simultaneously join the club of their choice for a $25 membership fee. The proceeds then were distributed to the clubs, with $24,050 collected in 2011.
However, the program was altered for the 2012 season so the chamber would offer memberships only for the Tug Hill Adirondack ATV Association, not specific clubs, and the association which had consisted of representatives of three Lewis County clubs and four others based outside the county collected $18,975 from it.
Chamber officials have said that the switch was made primarily because of how difficult and time-consuming it was to verify riders were members of individual clubs and that things went much more smoothly last year.
However, the move was criticized by many legislators, who said it was improper because the board never approved it, and perceived by many club members as an attempt to effectively get rid of them in favor of the regional association.
When questioned about the reason for the permit fee hike, Legislator Richard C. Lucas, R-Barnes Corners, chairman of the legislative Economic Development Committee, said the $65 was the same amount riders have paid in past years for a permit and club membership.
If you think this isnt going to hurt the clubs, youre wrong, said Francis Roy, president of the Brantingham-based Black River Valley 4 Wheelers Club.
After already paying $65 for a permit, riders may not want to pay any more for a club, and clubs with few members are not going to be able to do trail work, he said.
Mr. Roy also warned that club members may decide not to buy permits once the change is made. Because the countys trail system is so heavily dependent on municipal roads, and because the county is banned from charging for the use of public highways, riders without permits cannot be banned from the majority of the trail system.

BATAVIA, NY - Troopers say a man was drunk behind the wheel and led officers on a chase lasting more than 40 miles.
Investigators say it began around 10:40 Monday night when a trooper observed a Buick LeSabre going more than 100mph westbound on the Thruway between Depew and Pembroke.
When the trooper tried to pull the car over, the driver sped up and continued to drive erratically. Just before he reached the Williamsville toll barrier, he made a U-turn and went eastbound with troopers still in pursuit.
As he reached the Batavia interchange, officers deployed spike strips which left all four of the car's tires flat. Despite this, the driver exited at Batavia and still drove on. After passing through the toll barrier, he rammed a trooper's car not once but twice.
Troopers finally managed to stop the car in Batavia with the assistance of Batavia Police and sheriff's deputies.
The driver's name is not being released at this time but investigators say he is 42 years-old and from the City of Batavia. He's charged with DWI, reckless endangerment and numerous other traffic violations. No officers were hurt during the chase.

Men's Soccer Tabbed Second in BIG EAST Preseason Poll
NEW YORK - The BIG EAST men's soccer coaches selected No. 6 Creighton to place second in the 2013 preseason poll the league office announced Tuesday afternoon. CU junior Eric Miller and sophomore Timo Pitter were also named to the preseason All‐BIG EAST Team.
Creighton garnered three of the 10 first-place votes to help total 75 overall points. Despite claiming seven first-place votes, top pick No. 3 Georgetown finished just four points ahead of the Bluejays in the poll at 79. Like the Jays, the Hoyas are coming off of a College Cup appearance in 2012.
No. 12 Marquette was picked for third place with 63 points and St. John's was placed fourth by the coaches with 59 tallies. Xavier was slotted for fifth place at 49 points. All three squads appeared in the 2012 NCAA Tournament alongside the Jays and Hoyas.
Villanova was picked for sixth place at 42 points. Providence (25) was selected seventh, followed by Butler (24), Seton Hall (18) and DePaul (17).
It marks just the second time in the last nine seasons that Creighton was not picked to win the league in a conference preseason poll. Prior to its entrance into the BIG EAST this summer, Creighton was picked to win the league 14 times by conference coaches before the season, including every year between 1993-99.
CU's Miller spent the summer playing with the United States Under-20 National Team at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey. He also earned a roster spot with the Portland Timbers U-23s of the Premier Development League (PDL) alongside fellow Creighton teammates Zach Barnes and Jose Ribas. Despite splitting time, he ranked third on the Timbers U-23s with five points this summer (two goals, one assist).
He started 19 matches for the Bluejays in 2012, logging 1,596 minutes. Miller collected three points on one goal and one assist last season. For his career he has one goal, three assists in 43 matches. He claimed first team all-conference and all-tournament honors as well as all-district and all-conference academic first team accolades in 2012.
Pitter led the team with 24 points, 10 goals and 34 shots on goal last season as a freshman. He ranked nationally as the No. 4 freshman and No. 42 overall with 10 goals. For points scored in 2012 he stood No. 5 nationally as a freshman and was No. 51 overall in NCAA Division I with 24 points scored. His 10 scores were the most by any CU freshman in 22 seasons dating back to 1990.
Pitter claimed 2012 All-Freshman First Team recognition from College Soccer News as well as Soccer America. He also earned all-conference and all-freshman league laurels during his first season in Omaha including conference Freshman of the Year honors.
CU finished 2012 with a 17-4-3 record, the nation's No. 6 NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) mark, and a No. 4 national ranking from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) after competing in its second consecutive College Cup as the No. 12 national seed in December. The Jays also won their conference regular-season and tournament titles for a second straight year.
Third-year head coach Elmar Bolowich leads the Jays in their quest for the program's 21st NCAA Tournament appearance in the past 22 seasons in 2013. Bolowich has led his teams to five consecutive College Cups (North Carolina in 2008, '09 and '10 and Creighton in 2011 and '12).
The Jays return 16 letterwinners and eight starters from last year's team. Four 2012 all-conference selections return for the Jays including Miller, Pitter, junior Jose Ribas and sophomore Brendan Hines-Ike. The Bluejays welcome 10 newcomers to the squad but lose the services of 2012 NSCAA All-Americans Jose Gomez and Andrew Ribeiro.
Creighton opens its 2013 campaign Thursday with the Blue-White Scrimmage slated for 6 p.m. CT at Morrison Stadium. The No. 6 Bluejays battle No. 7 Notre Dame this weekend in a home exhibition match on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT.

|Cook Signs With ASU
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Thursday, 07 April 2011 14:40
Watauga High senior Sydney Cook made it official Wednesday afternoon as she signed her national letter of intent to continue her track career at Appalachian State University next fall.And Cook, who is strongly contending for the state record of 12-feet, one-inch set by former Pioneer Sally Gurganus in 2006, is hitting her stride at the right time. She came very close to the mark on Wednesday at a tri-meet at Jack Groce Stadium, where she cleared the bar with a personal-best effort of 11-9.
"I fully expect her to clear 12 feet by this weekend (at the Taco Bell Invitational)," said WHS pole-vaulting coach Daniel Isaacs. "She had a couple of good looks at (clearing 12 feet on Wednesday), but it just didn't come together. But it's a mindset. Everything has to fall into place, from the running start, to planting the pole, the lift and the turn. I'm very confident in Sydney."
And well he should be. Afterall, Cook has put together an impressive resume competing for the Pioneers. Last year alone, she was a state runner-up at the indoor championships in the pole vault, and she was named the outdoor female athlete of the year in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference.
Her biggest obstacle was getting over the 10-6 barrier, something she easily conquered at the New Balance Indoor Championships in New York City on March 11. She cleared the bar at 11-2 1/2, a mark that ranks her second all-time in school history behind Gurganus.
"Chasing Sally is really pushing me right now," Cook said. "I really looked up to her when I was younger. She and my sister (Taylor) were great athletes and they really worked hard at the pole vault. Watching them motivated me to be a pole vaulter."
And Cook's work ethic has paid off in a huge way. It's earned her an athletic scholarship to a Division I school in ASU.
"They're getting a quality young lady," said WHS coach Randy McDonough. "She will join a great line of athletes that we've sent to ASU. It's funny, we used to be the distance-running capital of the world. But now it seems that we've become a pole-vaulting school. And all the credit goes to Daniel. He's done a great job with all of our vaulters over the years."
Gruganus, Ward, Taylor Cook, Sydney Cook and Laura Gulliver are just a few of the athletes that have greatly succeeded at the pole vault under Isaac's guidance. Gruganus alone produed five state championships during her stay with the Pioneers.
"Today is a huge reward to the girls like Sally and Julie that got us started in this event," Isaacs said. "They were the ones that all the other girls are measuring themselves up to. Sydney is a great example of that. She's worked so hard at this, and I am so excited about her going to ASU.
"I went there, and I competed there. They have a very good coaching staff, and this is a great opportunity for her."
And Cook, who will aim her sights at cracking the 12-foot barrier Saturday morning at the Taco Bell Invitational, is also a strong contender for a possible state championship next month in Greensboro (at North Carolina A&T).
"It's possible," Isaacs said. "It all depends on what happens that day. The field is very competitive. There's a girl that's all ready jumped 13 feet (Sydney White of East Forsyth did it at the East Forsyth/Parkland Duals on March 23), but you never know what's going to happen the day of the event. But getting over 11 feet for Sydney is nothing right now. It's coming naturally. And I expect her to keep getting better."

Stroke in Young Fabry Patients (sifap1): Frequency of Fabry Disease in Young Stroke Patients
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
More than one million people in Europe suffer from a stroke every day. Normally older people have a stroke, but also a significant number of younger people between 18 and 55 years. Usually, these cannot be explained by the classical risk factors such as diabetes, overweight and high blood pressure. New studies indicate that in about 1 - 2 % of the younger stroke patients the cause could have been an undiagnosed genetic disease, the so called Fabry disease. The purpose of this study is to determine in a large number of young stroke patients, how many strokes were caused by Fabry Disease.
Cerebrovascular Accident
Other: No intervention
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Stroke in Young Fabry Patients (sifap1): Frequency of Fabry Disease in an Unselected Group of Young Stroke Patients: an International, Multicentre Prevalence Study
- Prevalence of Fabry disease in the unselected group of young stroke patients [ Time Frame: baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Classification of stroke subtype in patients identified to have Fabry disease acc. to TOAST criteria, modified Rankin scale, Barthel index and MRI criteria. [ Time Frame: baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Fabry diagnostic will be done centrally: blood samples will be retained for analysis of a-galactosidase in blood to diagnose an a-galactosidase deficit; in females direct analysis of the gene has to be done since due to the Lyonisation effect a-galactosidase activity might be normal in blood although the patient might suffer from Fabry disease.
|Study Start Date:
|January 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
all adult patients (18 - 55 years of age) with an acute cerebrovascular event of any etiology
Other: No intervention
Observational study, only laboratory analysis and diagnostic interventions done; no drug tested
Other Name: only 1 observational group
Detailed Description:
To determine the frequency of Fabry disease in an unselected group of young patients (18 - 55 years of age) with acute cerebrovascular event (CVE)
Fabry disease and stroke:
Rolfs and co-workers have shown a high frequency of Fabry disease in a cohort of patients with cryptogenic stroke (4 % [28/721]) aged between 18 and 55 years. This corresponds to about 1.2 % in the general population of young stroke patients. Therefore the authors stated that Fabry disease must be considered in all cases of unexplained stroke in young patients, especially in cases with the combination of infarction in the vertebrobasilar artery system and proteinuria.
Cryptogenic strokes are cerebrovascular lesions of unknown origin. Clinical and laboratory data show that Fabry disease is itself a risk factor for accelerated atherosclerosis and cardiac and renal disease, which can lead to emboli and hypertension. The pilot-phase started April 2007; the official study started January 2008.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 55 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Probability Sample
Adult patients (18 - 55 years of age) with an acute cerebrovascular event of any etiology defined as patients having an acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack less than 3 months before enrollment into the study
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult patients (18 - 55 years of age) with an acute cerebrovascular event of any etiology defined as patients having an acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack less than 3 months before enrollment into the study
- MRI-scan evidence of associated corresponding brain infarction or hemorrhage, regardless of the duration of symptoms. Alternatively also patients with no signs of stroke in the MRI can be included if a stroke-experienced neurologist has done the initial diagnosis as ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack or hemorrhage.
- Detailed MRI documentation at admission to entry to the study
- Diagnostic procedures for CVE according to the EUSI recommendations
- Written informed consent from patient or legal representative according to local regulations
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients being younger than 18 years or older than 55 years of age.

| BEASTMASTER: Smoky Mountain's Richard Day-Reynolds and his trusty Traeger.
IMAGE: Matt D'Annunzio
Richard Day-Reynolds was born to barbecue. The Tennessee native bellies up to his carbon-black Traeger grill as though he entered the world with basting brush in hand, destined to slow-cook beef and pork into tender, juicy submission. Barbecue is just as much a part of him as he is a part of it—look no further than his forearm.
"I've gotten a hash mark tattooed for every year I've cooked a whole pig on my birthday," says Day-Reynolds, thrusting out his right arm to show off the outline of a roly-poly pig frolicking below 21 tiny hash marks. "It's not just me—six of us have these tattoos. It's like a cult." Family members and close friends who share the mark, including Day-Reynolds' wife, consider it a rite of passage. Based on the bone-sucking triumphs he's been turning out at his burgeoning take-out window, Smoky Mountain BBQ, it's safe to say his ink is well-deserved.
Opened on July 18th after relocating from North Portland, Smoky Mountain is literally a hole in the wall just off the corner of Southeast 72nd Avenue and Harold Street, a screened window and counter peeking bashfully from the side door at Queen of Hearts Bar. The walls on each side are lined with plastic lawn chairs and tables, flanked on the right by Day-Reynolds' trusty grill (just one of six more he's got at home). The sidewalk hums with neighborhood foot traffic, teeming with sunglass-wearing fogies and denim-clad dads pushing their topless toddlers in strollers through the dense summer heat.
Glamorous it is not, but neither is the food. It's everything barbecue should be: messy, sloppy, and too good to eat politely. Diners should come ready to gorge themselves barbarically, or be sure to specify takeout ($1 extra) so they can swoop home to pig out in private.
The vividly flavorful menu is a carnivore's wet dream: Each featured meat arrives with minimal fanfare, either on a golden bun or next to a square of sunny yellow cornbread, crowded into a paper-lined plastic basket with a tub of crisp marinated slaw and barbecue sauce for dipping, pouring or slathering. Out of the seven meat entrees offered, the obvious standout is the beef brisket ($6). Day-Reynolds slaps the gargantuan cut of meat onto a 210-degree grill for 10 sweltering hours before he serves it up, piping hot and tender enough to tease apart with the nudge of a fork. The divine pulled pork sandwich ($6) is spicy with unexpected heat from Day-Reynolds' housemade barbecue sauce, and even an urban-born city kid can conjure up images of simple country life after a single bite of the deeply satisfying barbecued meatloaf ($6). Sides like the smoked mac 'n' cheese ($4)— elbow pasta winding through a thick mass of melted cheddar—and crunchy sweet-potato fries ($3) with savory seasoning round out the menu nicely.
With hulking racks of pork ribs so tender that the meat nearly melts off the bone, one assumes Day-Reynolds has his meat shipped straight down from heaven—or at least from Painted Hills. But Smoky Mountain is pretension-free to its core: turns out he buys his meat from the grocery store. "Filet mignon for barbecue is stupid," he scoffs. "That's the whole thing about barbecue—taking a cheap, tough cut of meat and cooking it right to make it soft and delicious. It's what you do with it that makes the difference."
The explosive Southern flavors alone would be enough to warrant a return visit to Smoky Mountain, but the most compelling reason to come back is Day-Reynolds himself. He greets customers like old friends; cheerful, inviting and dying to put some good food in their stomachs. "Ya'll come back now!" he calls from his post at the grill. You bet your britches we will.
- Order this: The robust, supple beef brisket.
- Best deal: Andoullie sausage on a bun with a side of smoked mac 'n' cheese and collard greens—criminally affordable at $11.
- I'll pass: The cornbread, while admirably studded with real corn kernels, is bland.
EAT: Smoky Mountain BBQ, 5501 SE 72nd Ave., 560-9293, smoky-mtn-bbq.com. Dinner 4-9 pm daily. $ Inexpensive.

The Most Common Mistakes MSPs Make With Off-Site Backups
I recently spoke with three industry experts about the topic of cloud/off-site backups. I asked them about the most common mistakes MSPs make with regard to selling and implementing this kind of solution/service. Here is what they're seeing as well as some tips they shared.
Tom Simon, director of sales at Datto shared:
- While a BDR may be easy to use, it's important not to "set it and forget it". It needs to be managed. This is made easier with a good partner portal.
- Pricing. MSPs should set up a pricing structure that is most advantageous to them, and set a recurring revenue model.
- Training. MSPs should take advantage of all training their vendors offer. This will help MSPs become true experts on the technology and solution, therefore creating more value for their clients.
- Management of SLAs. It's key to create, communicate, and manage a service level agreement that is understood by both the MSP and its client.
- It's important for MSPs to have a full range of solutions, based on both end user size and specific needs.
Jamie Brenzel, CEO of KineticD, said:
- Trusting in a partner that doesn't have staying power is a common mistake. Countless vendors have just closed shop with little notice. Make sure you validate a potential backup vendor's financials before you partner with them.
- Even though it's VERY important to test restores regularly, it's just as equally important to have a test plan in case of disaster.
- Failing to create a service level agreement (SLA) that includes monitoring of the client's backups.
Charles Patsios, director of channel marketing at Unitrends, added:
- If the MSP doesn't perform due diligence in the initial exploratory audit, the ultimate outcome can often be a subpar solution for the customer.
- Common mistakes are made around data size and change rate regarding the ability to move the data through constraining systems such as Internet connectivity, having a significant impact on RTO in situations where it is not appropriately sized.
- Additionally, end customers often neglect to understand their rate of data growth and how it impacts their data protection strategy and framework. The MSP/VAR should walk the customers through different data growth rates and data loss scenarios to provide the most optimal data protection and recovery solution. For example, a common mistake MSPs make with off-site backup would be that they do not understand the customer's expected RTO (recovery time objective) or SLA. The data may be protected and safely stored off-sight; however, the recovery time to bring the business back online may not be able to be met due to the lack of sizing the appropriate pipe (throughput) between the cloud provider and the business operations on premise. Understanding the prospect's expectations is critical to the success of an offline backup offering.

Read: Arron Asham Tried To Lead and No One Followed
Last night the Penguins announced their starting lineup as James Neal, Evgeni Malkin and Tanner Glass. The Rangers countered with Rick Nash, Brad Richards and Arron Asham.
After the game on MSG, John Tortorella said that he started Asham because the Penguins are his former team and because the Penguins started Glass.
Two seconds into the game, Asham and Glass dropped the gloves.
Asham told the NY Post that he fought for one reason, "All fights are to try and get your bench going, get the crowd into it. I thought it was a good time to do it, but it didn't work out."
Tortorella said that he was angry with team's response, or lack thereof, to the fight,"high marks to Ash. That is what pisses me off. Ash goes in there, hangs in there and we don't come in behind him. When a player does something like that the other players need to feed off of that and do their thing."
Filip Bondy writes in the Daily News that the fight didn't have its intended impact and "choreographed fights are a continued disgrace in the NHL"

Future Decisions, and what's up with RA Dickey
Matthew Cerrone , Lead Writer
It's quite clear to me that Sandy Alderson is making decisions based on what's best for the Mets in 2014 and beyond. This is not to say he's given up on 2013… not at all. However, if a move is not also in the best interest of 2014, 2015, etc., I think it's automatically considered a bad decision.
In other words, a one-year deal for anyone is fine, because it only impacts 2013. But, if it's a long-term deal, it has to favor the Mets down the road, otherwise it isn't going to happen.
For instance, the Mets seem willing to bring back RA Dickey for 2013 (his current option), plus two additional years (2014 and 2015). Why? Because RA is awesome and he could still serve them well those two years, plus still have value in trade next summer or next winter with just two years and – say – $20 million left on his contract. However, because it would be much more difficult to trade a 40 year old that has three or four years left on his deal, which is what Dickey wants, they're instead exploring his trade market today.
Honestly, I am growing more and more convinced he will be traded this winter, but it's also I why I wouldn't be totally surprised to see him signed to a two-year extension (if he was willing to accept it). I suppose they could keep him and trade him next summer, though I do think that's the least likely of these three scenarios because it offers the least amount of upside. The only option I don't see happening is signing Dickey to a deal that guarantees him more than two years, for the reasons stated above.

T&S' success relies partly on timely acquisitions and investment in new product tracking technology, but mainly in its provision of a much-needed service. The convenience meal market will continue to grow as families find themselves pressed for time, unconcerned about the traditional meal, and unable to agree on a joint menu.
The launch of two new guarana chocolate bars for UK clubbers highlights the increasing use of trend-spotting in product development. But while giant Cadbury relies on traditional advertising, newcomer Experentis will use experiential and event marketing to target its core audience more precisely. The smaller firm's approach could well pay off.
UK supermarket group Morrison's, normally as commendably steadfast as its northern roots, has launched a bid for the Safeway chain. The move is a canny one that would launch Morrison's into the big time. However, it is likely to spark a bidding war that could herald major changes for the industry's leading players, with tougher competition meaning that consumers will be the real winners.

Tesco, already the UK's leading supermarket chain, confirmed its interest in bidding for Safeway on Wednesday. However, as Tesco tries to convince the OFT that its increased share would still be fair, it is possible that the whole matter will result in an enquiry into the supermarket sector. Tesco is keen to ensure its position doesn't deteriorate when this happens.

After refusing to join the Government's scheme, Sainsbury's has decided to introduce its own new logo to help alleviate consumer confusion over what exactly constitutes "five portions" of fruit and vegetables. Retailers want to be seen as responsible, helpful and informative - offering value-added services alongside their food.

Sturdevant Acres Bed & Breakfast
Editor's Review
This is the farm where innkeeper Donna Balke was raised, and she and her husband, Bud, treat guests like family. They tore down the decrepit family home a few years back to build their dream home, an adults-only bed-and-breakfast based loosely on the floor plan of the home Donna was raised in. It has a large, inviting front porch with wicker furniture and a big swing. Guests can choose the Route 66 room (with car floor mats as the bath mats), the Civil War room (with a chess set of Union and Confederate soldiers, which was fine, and a Confederate flag hanging on the wall, which might bother some guests), a room that pays tribute to Donna's mother (with her wedding dress and recipes) or the room that Bud calls "the frou-frou room," which has a bathroom that opens to the bedroom. All are a flat $85, cash or check, no credit cards, please. Every room has a private bathroom and a TV. Breakfast often includes an egg casserole and fresh-squeezed orange juice, and guests like to enjoy their coffee on the porch overlooking the family farm. Chickens wander the backyard, and roosters crow each morning.

Town of Mansfield, NY - The early spring snowfalls have kept the town of Mansfield Highway department busy as they plow 40 miles of roads. That's especially true since they're shorthanded. The fifth man of the crew is missing and that would be Highway Superintendent Gary Hahn. We asked his deputy if he has seen Hahn, who is an elected official.
Two on Your Side's Ron Plants asked Deputy Superintendent Brad Hurley "What was the last time you actually spoke to Mr. Hahn...the actual Superintendent do you think ?" Hurley replied "I don't know...guess on the phone maybe three or four weeks ago."
Reporter: And that's been the last contact you've really had with 'em ?
Hurley says "Probably..yeah."
Deputy Supervisor Hurley has been running the department for a while with town overtime costs for his juggling of administrative and other duties. That is even in the wake of a fire last October which destroyed the original highway building, some vehicles, and equipment.
Town Supervisor Robert Keis says "It's costing us a substantial amount of money. It's a very frustrating situation for myself and the town board and of course the taxpayers are not happy about it. We've sought some help from different avenues and so far there seems to be nothing we can do."
The town is also paying Hahn's $44,000 salary and health benefits and he is collecting retirement credits. Because even though the highway superintendent does not show up for work, Keis says he does show up every two weeks to file a time sheet. Keis says Hahn has not provided any explanation.
The reporter asked "Can't it be reported to the state police, the district attorney, somebody in the state or whoever...the sheriffs office to try and investigate this man and find out what's going on?
Keis replied "We've actually been audited just recently."
It was actually a state comptroller's audit and the concerns about Hahn's long absence was noted in a town reply letter to that audit.
It states "Several town officials expressed concern to the auditor that the Highway Superintendent has not come to work for the last several months. The Town Board is aware there is nothing the Town can do about the lack of attendance."
That doesn't sit well with some town residents like John Barry who asked "What accountability is there ? The town and the supervisor are saying...it's not us...we're not responsible."
Keis responds "The highway superintendent does not answer to the town supervisor or the town board. He answers to the electors of the town."
We tried to reach Superintendent Hahn but apparently there was no one at his home in the town and my phone calls just went to his voice mail.
Supervisor Keis says "I am not in a position to actually fire him or do anything along those lines to resolve this issue other than constantly trying to communicate with him as to what he's doing. But now he's not even showing up for me to communicate with. He doesn't come to town board meetings anymore."
We contacted the Cattaraugus County District Attorney but she did not comment. The State Attorney General's Office said they do have a public integrity unit but they had nothing specific to say about this case. So far there is no response from the State Comptroller's Office which again recently audited the town.
Supervisor Keis says he has researched such cases and found that when they go to court, the judge usually rules in favor of a superintendent who again is an elected official.
Hahn's two year term as Highway Superintendent will expire in December unless he opts to retire earlier.

"Excellent quality - make simple presents look more elegant and saves time as no card necessary for all of the nursery school party gifts."
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"Ordered for my daughter's first birthday's pretty in pink party. It is very dainty and elegant. Loved it! Quality is great as always."
"I was able to personalize these gift tags w/ the full date of the shower and then used them as sticker's to make keepsake book marks for my sister's guests! (we did a book-themed party since we didn't know the baby's gender of the baby!) Everyone loved them. We also used the stickers as cupcake toppers! We stuck them on different colored cardstock and cut them out, leaving just about an 1/8 inch edge and stuck them in our cupcakes - perfect complimentary shower decorations! Oh - we changed the graphic from the heart to the question-mark so it would match the invitations. So simple to make that request and Tiny Prints called and sent proofs showing me what it would look like both ways. So professional and courteous. I will definitely order from them again!"
"These stickers are very beautiful for a little girl. I use them as envelope seals for my daughter's stationery. The design is so pretty and the soft colors are perfect. They are a bit smaller than I thought they'd be but still a good size."
