Reds face tough task against CityComment on this story
Liverpool's regrets about missing out on a first English league title for 24 years last season will be stronger than ever on Monday when they visit champions Manchester City, who pipped them by two points.
The meeting of last term's top two is the highlight of the weekend Premier League programme, in which Arsenal and Manchester United face tricky away games while Chelsea will expect to record a second straight win over a promoted side.
Liverpool will make the short motorway trip east to Manchester knowing they should be arriving as title holders.
With three matches to play last season, Brendan Rodgers' side were nine points clear of City, who had two games in hand but had just lost 3-2 at Anfield.
Liverpool then lost at home to Chelsea, and then frittered away a three-goal lead at Crystal Palace, allowing City to finish top by winning their four remaining games.
The Manchester side were the more impressive of the two on the opening weekend of the new campaign, easing to a 2-0 win at Newcastle United with goals by David Silva and Sergio Aguero.
Liverpool, now without last season's leading scorer Luis Suarez, were below their best at home to Southampton and needed a late goal from Daniel Sturridge to win 2-1.
City's neighbours Manchester United visit Sunderland on Sunday hoping to shrug off last weekend's surprise 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City in their first league match under new manager Louis van Gaal.
The experienced Dutchman will have spent the week trying to restore his players' confidence, which he was said was "smashed" by the Swansea result.
"We make steps and you have to learn from your steps," he told the club's in-house television station MUTV.
The late kickoff (1630 GMT) on Saturday sees Arsenal travel to Everton, needing to recover physically from a long trip to Istanbul in the Champions League playoff round on Tuesday, when they were somewhat fortunate to draw 0-0 with Besiktas.
Last April. Arsene Wenger's team lost 3-0 at Everton, one of several emphatic away defeats which they need to improve on this season.
Chelsea, comfortable 3-1 winners at Burnley on Monday, when Spain's Diego Costa scored on his competitive debut, play last season's Championship winners Leicester City, who were impressive in holding Everton 2-2 in their first Premier League match for 10 years.
The other two matches in London are both derbies with special managerial interest.
Harry Redknapp, sacked by Tottenham Hotspur two years ago despite leading them to fourth place, returns to White Hart Lane in charge of Queens Park Rangers, with former Spurs midfield hero and manager Glenn Hoddle now in his coaching team.
Crystal Palace and West Ham United, both beaten by London rivals on the opening day, meet at Selhurst Park with the home club looking for a new boss.
Last season Palace won both meetings on their way to finishing unexpectedly high in 11th place, having been widely tipped for relegation.
But they have to regroup quickly after Tony Pulis, the architect of that achievement, left two days before the start of the new season, reportedly following a dispute about new transfer targets. – Reuters

SUMMERFIELD TOWNSHIP — A man federal authorities said failed to register as a sex offender was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon at a home on Lulu Rd.
The U.S. Marshals Office identified the man as Correy Rymers, 44, whose last known address was in Toledo. Agents arrested Mr. Rymers without incident in a house on Lulu west of US-23.
Mr. Rymers was convicted of two counts of aggravated criminal-sexual abuse of victim aged 13 to 16. Because he crossed the state line, his alleged offense became a federal crime, said authorities with the U.S. Marshals Office in Detroit.
Mr. Rymers was expected to be arraigned today in U.S. District Court in Detroit.

e're done!
Starting almost a year ago (and yes, we're making plans to ensure You Make the Card #4 has a much tighter schedule), we've had nine steps and six votes. The last one was on the card's flavor text and here's how it went:
And that means that Out of sight, into mind is our winner.
The winning flavor text was submitted by Thomas Lefler. And Mike Lose. And also Tim Ebert, as well as Robinson Mead and somebody who goes by just "Chris." Congratulations to all five of them.
As a special treat for finishing this incarnation of You Make the Card, I thought I'd treat you with the first preview card from the Coldsnap expansion coming out. Click here to see it.
Yes, Vanish Into Memory has been slotted for Coldsnap. And just between you and me, the fact that the entire readership of magicthegathering.com came up word for word (and art for art) with a card the Ice Age designers made over a decade ago only to be misplaced in Richard Garfield's file cabinet for ten years is staggering. Staggering! (You all seem okay with the brain in the jar running R&D so work with me here.)
I think you guys did an excellent job and I'm excited to see what happens when Vanish Into Memory finally sees print. Once again, good job!

SUP AIR Technology
The SUP Air is a high pressure inflatable board using "Drop-Stitch" material. This material is made up of a double-layer PVC coated and reinforced fabric, with a mesh of very fine polyester threads connecting the deck to the hull. These threads ensure that the board can be inflated to very high pressures, and when combined with a 6" thickness as standard on all SUP Air boards, the rigidity and performance is maximized for general all-round use. A high-pressure pump is supplied with the board, allowing you to easily inflate it to the 15 PSI recommended for maximum performance and glide.
1- Outer layer PVC fabric for extra stiffness and durability.

While not the fastest USB 3.0 drive, Kingston DT Ultimate 3.0 is very tempting with killer warranty and enough speed to satisfy most customers' needs. If you don't mind giving up some read speed for longevity, then it may just be right up your alley.
Flash Drive Design
For anyone who has used Kinston flash drives the new DT Ultimate USB 3.0 will be refreshingly new in appearance. Unlike past models, the new Ultimate has a very short and stocky plastic body. It is down right thick when you hold it in your hands. I can honestly say I like this design as it fits nicely in your hand and more importantly, has a reassuringly solid feel that belies its reliance on mainly plastic for its case.
The reason for most of this added weight is that the Data Traveler Ultimate uses copious amounts of aluminum coverings on its body. These brushed aluminum side panels are only there for looks and do not really do much to act as heatsinks. This is both a good and bad thing. It is a downside as it is a missed opportunity to let the body of the Ultimate shed even more heat from his controller and NAND chips. But where this model barely gets warm to the touch, it certainly isn't a big deal either! The fact that the flash drive barely warms up during extended usage really is a nice bonus, considering the speed boost Kingston has bestowed upon this new version. The speed of this drive at 80/60 MB/s certainly will not win any performance awards, but it should still be more than enough for most users needs.
As with most flash drives, the Ultimate 3.0 has a removable cap with a non moveable port. I personally both like and dislike this design. At least with the sliding port which can be hidden inside the body, a removable cap can easily be lost. On the positive side, the rear of this flash drive comes with a built-in lanyard ring (with included small lanyard attachment) and is also designed as a integrated cap holder. You can literally plug the cap unto the end of this drive for safe keeping and do so without blocking the integrated blue activity LED.
The LED itself is another nice little tweak which didn't fail to impress. Unlike some other models, Kingston has taken the same approach as Super Talent made the LED internal. The center rear half of the drive glows a nice mellow blue which is neither distracting nor annoying, while still being bright enough to be noticeable. It may only be a small tweak, but this does lend a nice air of refinement that this drive badly needs. Please don't get me wrong, the Super Talent Express 3.0 Drive still looks much nicer and more refined but the Data Traveler Ultimate 3.0 is no slouch in the looks department. It's just that a plastic drive (aluminum side panels or no) just doesn't scream "sophistication" or "elegance" like an all metal chassis does. Considering the price point, this drive resides in plastic just doesn't cut it anymore.
Daily Use & Usability
As mentioned earlier, the Data Traveler Ultimate 3.0 is a very short and thick USB 3.0 flash drive. Luckily, it is no wider than your "typical" USB 2.0 counterpart. In practical terms, this combination means that while it may block the port below (or above) it, it will not block adjacent ports. Considering most USB 3.0 adapter cards have the two ports side by side, this should only make the over-sized footprint of the Ultimate a potential issue for any one using a motherboard with built in USB 3.0 ports.
If you fall into the latter category, it may have a tendency to block a secondary USB 2.0 port, but considering most motherboards come with a veritable kings bounty of USB 2.0 ports, the loss of one port to the Ultimate is neither here nor there. For anyone planning on using this on a USB 2.0 port, I can honestly say that in for my systems the Y adapter was not needed, but I wouldn't count on not needing it either. Kingston's instructions are very clear that you should always use it for completely backwards compatibility. I consider this a major negative as it negates most of the portability aspects a flash drive offers you. Who really wants to carry around a bulky cable just to reliably use their flash drive?!
On the upside, as USB 3.0 becomes more popular, this issue will become more and more moot. Also on the positive side, I did find the Ultimate flash drive to fit comfortably in darn near any of my pockets. It is large enough you know its there, but it is not so large as to be annoying or uncomfortable even after being stuck in a pants pocket all day.
Crystal DiskMark Benchmarks
As expected, the read performance of the Data Traveler Ultimate 32GB did significantly drop off compared to the competition as the file size gets smaller. Luckily, most people will not be pulling gigabytes worth of small 4k files from their flash drive so the differences are more than likely not going to be noticed by consumers in the real world. With that being said, the write performance of this drive is surprisingly peppy and goes a long ways to justifying the added expense of the Ultimate compared to the Super Talent Express 3.0 Drive.
Real World Performance
In more real world orientated tasks, the Ultimate once again shows very good write abilities that are somewhat hobbled by less than optimal read performance. Please don't get me wrong, these numbers are very good for a "mere" flash drive, but they are relatively low for its price range.
There is certainly a lot to like about the Data Traveler Ultimate USB 3.0. I liked its fit and feel. I liked its above average (for its class) write abilities. I especially liked its amazing five year warranty. Heck, I even liked its funky looks (though I do wish Kingston had opted for a full metal chassis). With that being said, there is a few caveats worth pointing out before rushing out and buying one.
One of the biggest issues I have with the Ultimate is its less than stellar read speed. This certainly is a massive improvement over its USB 2.0 brethren but in this new USB 3.0 market, that is actually a tad on the anemic side. It really is a testament to how big a paradigm shift USB 3.0 is, when I can say something like that in all seriousness. The other issue I have is with its backwards compatibility. I didn't have any problems using it directly attached to a USB 2.0 port. But the fact that Kingston not only includes the Y adapter but strongly recommends using it is a tad troubling to say the least. Unlike the read speed issue, this one will go away as time goes by. After all, once USB 3.0 becomes the de-facto standard, the Y cable will no longer be needed.

The very first thing a newly elected president does is swear an oath, on the Bible, to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
President Obama did not honor his first oath in 2009 and already has broken the two taken in January by usurping the rights of Congress and the states. In his State of the Union address, he opened with a quote from JFK: The Constitution makes us not rivals for power, but partners for progress. If he truly believed this, why does he continually issue a plethora of presidential decrees and ignore our Congress and the Constitution?
In violation of our First Amendment rights, ObamaCare has required the Catholic organizations to pay for medical insurance that includes abortion and contraceptive coverage. This directly contradicts the beliefs of Catholics. There is also a petition on the White House website requesting signatures to declare this church a hate group. In Germany, Hitler had a similar plan for the Jews, and we all know how that ended.
He is antagonistic to right-wing talk radio and is working to get all these stations and Fox off the air. Freedom of speech is in jeopardy.
He wants to take away our Second Amendment right to bear arms, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy a gun, much less to purchase the ammunition that weapon needs. The Department of Homeland Security has purchased enough ammo to wage a full-scale war for 30 years. As if that wasnt enough, they are buying an additional 2.6 million rounds of ammo.
During the campaign, Obama said sequestration would never happen under his administration, and now our military is about to be gutted, leaving us vulnerable to our friends Russia and China, as well as our enemies, Iran, North Korea and Egypt. The latter is ruled by a radical Muslim who wants to drive our only ally, Israel, into the sea. President Obama is providing that country with fighter jets, tanks and money. Not smart.
He is decreasing the number of nuclear weapons we hold, while Russia and China increase their inventory, and Iran and North Korea are working to perfect their delivery capability. He is making us vulnerable to the very countries that would destroy us as a free nation, while announcing that we are the most powerful nation on Earth.
As he talks about bloating government even more with a laundry list of new initiatives and investments (aka spend money), a national preschool, fix-it-first for infrastructures (more shovel-ready) and declares we are the wealthiest nation on the planet, he ignores the $16.5 trillion debt that China holds over us.
Colorado sheriffs also take an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution of Colorado and the United States. Thank God for Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith, who honors the oath he swore.
Our safety and freedoms rest with Smith and these dedicated lawmen. Smiths selfless hard work during the fires of 2012 was greatly appreciated. Now, because he conducts himself with integrity and refuses to violate the Second Amendment, which gives us the right to bear arms, the left is denigrating a real champion of democracy. Wake up, Colorado. Its not too late to save our freedoms.

Yes please! I wear Halflinger shoes, boiled wool on a cork bed. I love them, but they wear out and the first to go is the insole. I've been thinking if felting a new insole for awhile now, maybe I should do that next week. It's back to real shoe weather here in MN.

I would knit some pieces with felting wool at least a third larger than you need for each insole, felt it, then cut out your insoles in the size to fit your shoes.

Or, knit and felt the insoles. I did this for fleece-lined slippers where one insole had split side-to-side across the heel. I knit a long rectangle out of yarns that I knew were good felters, allowing for the standard 30% vertical shrinkage and 10% horizontal.
For a thinner (but still sturdy) insole, I would use Manos Silk Wool. It makes a beautiful felt fabric, and one of the variegated ones would look very pretty.
Also, have you tried the fleece-lined Haflingers? I got a closed-back one called "Siberia" a couple of years ago. Coziest slippers EVER! They don't make it anymore, but I bet the clog "Snowbird" would be good too.

Oh, and I should add that after I knit and felted the long rectangle, I cut out two insoles to size.

No I haven't tried those yet. Halflingers are usually a one pair of shoes every 3 years kind of thing, they're expensive! Mine have suddenly become horribly uncomfortable, on my feet for 8 hours and I had so much heel pain, it was ridiculous. I think I might try those liners and see if extra padding helps.

Splasm ships Audiobook Builder 1.0
updated 09:30 am EDT, Fri October 27, 2006
Audiobook Builder 1.0
Splasm Software has released Audiobook Builder 1.0, an easy way to combine your Audiobook CDs into a single iPod-friendly Audiobook file. "Now you can take data directly from audio CDs, iTunes and/or QuickTime-compatible audio files and creates files that your iPod accepts as actual Audiobooks, visible in the Audiobooks menu. Tag your Audiobooks with a title, author and cover art. Set up enhanced chapter stops with custom artwork that you'll see while you listen to your color-capable iPod." The company notes that each Audiobook is bookmarkable -- both iTunes and your iPod remember the place when you take a break and resume listening later. Audiobook Builder is US $10 for single users and $15 for families. The Universal Binary application requires Mac OS X 10.4 and QuickTime 7.

|A role for data: an observation on empowering stakeholders.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23195168 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|CONTEXT: This article discusses the role of data in the reform of the U.S. healthcare system by focusing on electronic health records (EHRs) and the role of stakeholders.
EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Review of research published between 2005 and 2012 was conducted in 2012.
EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Published literature supports the benefit of information technology in the healthcare field. Interoperability among systems is deemed key to successful use. However, incorporating information technology into medical practice will require methodically revamping the system, and consumers will need to learn how to use and manage their personal medical records. The healthcare industry's use of data-driven innovation needs to be based on modernized data systems, increased access to data, and implementation of easy-to-use technology that will enable stakeholders to participate actively in achieving desired health outcomes and cost reductions.
CONCLUSIONS: Stakeholders realize the power and potential benefit of data. Access to data and incentives to develop and adopt them must be supported to achieve cost-savings. However, serious challenges remain to achieving a national, interoperable system that provides healthcare data to all stakeholders. These challenges can be addressed only by innovation.

Delegate Bob Marshall (R-13, Manassas) is campaigning for another term in the House, where he has been a member since 1992. But he's also, in a just released television spot, decided to take on Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe. Interesting strategy and Delegate Marshall does it, as we are accustomed to, in his own way.
The genesis of the spot is the false McAuliffe attack, echoed now by Democrats the state over, that a bill introduced by Marshall and supported by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, McAuliffe's Republican opponent, would ban birth control. The bill has nothing to do with birth control and, as Marshall points out, two U.S. Supreme Court rulings prohibit state legislatures from banning contraception. In a statement, Marshall said:
I should call my 30 second cable TV ad "McAuliffe's Mendacity." Now my own opponent has joined in the craze and has huge mailers accusing me of the same nonsense which the Democrats know or should know is blatantly false. Several other races are being similarly targeted. Where is the responsible journalism?
Marshall adds two great kickers at the end. He reminds viewers that McAuliffe publicly stated earlier in the campaign that he won't read bills if elected governor (but would "hire people to do it for him") and says that his opponent apparently doesn't read bills either. Ouch! But then, only as Marshall would do, encourages people who don't belief him to call his cel phone! Brilliant!
The ad combines three elements conservative candidates rarely use (or are afraid to), characteristics Marshall contains in abundance for those who know him (and not the media caricature of him): confidence in knowledge of the issues, courage to take on those who would do your character or cause harm, and a sense of humor. Who else would jibe his opponent about not reading a bill he's criticizing and then challenge him or the public to call his phone to discuss it? Take that T-Mac!
Forget his opponent: Delegate Bob Marshall takes on "McAuliffe's Mendacity" to set the record straight.

text: Treat Depression Along with Chronic Illness for Costs Benefits By John Scorza 11/16/2011 Permissions NEW ORLEANS—When depression develops along with a chronic illness, it is necessary to treat both—not just the symptoms of the chronic illness. By recognizing this connection and designing health plans that treat both ailments effectively, employers will save money and employees' health will improve. "When you treat people for the co-existing depression and their chronic illnesses, you'll get better outcomes," said Andy Johnson, fund administrator of the Teamster Center Services Fund in New York, who spoke at the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans' employee benefits conference here on Nov. 1, 2011. Johnson's fund provides employee assistance and behavioral health management services to Teamsters union members. The results of collaborative care—the treatment of chronic illness and depression together—can be striking. Johnson cited a study showing that the addition of psychological interventions for patients with serious medical disorders resulted in a: • 77.9 percent reduction in their average stay in a hospital. • 66.7 percent reduction in hospital visits. • 48.6 percent decrease in physician office visits. • 45.3 percent decrease in emergency room visits. Chronic Conditions Are Costly The Chronic Illness Alliance defines a chronic illness as "an illness that is permanent or lasts a long time," affecting the patient's quality of life. Common chronic illnesses include autoimmune diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, osteoarthritis and epilepsy. The cost of care for a person with a chronic illness is four times greater than for someone without such an illness. A chronic illness can lead to sadness, fear or anger. But a deeper depression can settle in, and that isn't uncommon. Depression is a problem for up to 25 percent of cancer patients, according to the Depression and Chronic Illness Fact Sheet from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Depression might jeopardize a person's recovery from a chronic disease because it often leads to negative behaviors, such as increased smoking and drinking or a failure to adhere to treatment plans. Fortunately, the road map for recognizing and treating chronic illnesses and depression is clear, according to Johnson. Treating Depression Approximately 15 million American adults, or about 5 percent of the U.S. population, will experience major depression in a given year, according to NAMI. But just as many chronic illnesses can be managed, effective treatments are available for depression. "You really can significantly improve patient outcomes," Johnson said. Antidepressants are often very effective, Johnson emphasized. But common misperceptions about antidepressants must be overcome. For example, most people who take antidepressants need to take them continuously for only six to nine months, not a lifetime, Johnson noted. And when administered correctly, they do not alter an individual's personality. Psychotherapy is another important and effective treatment, Johnson said. Some patients do very well when they combine short-term antidepressant medication with six to 10 sessions of therapy. Support groups offer benefits to those suffering from depression, including reduced feelings of loneliness, education on depression and treatments, and the chance to help others. The IMPACT Model Johnson had high praise for the IMPACT depression-treatment model. "It really does work with the whole spectrum of patients that come through the system." The IMPACT model has five essential components: 1. Collaborative care. The patient's primary care physician works with a care manager to develop and implement a treatment plan. 2. Depression care manager. This might be a nurse, social worker or psychologist who educates, supports and monitors the patient. 3. Designated psychiatrist. This professional consults with the care manager and primary physician on the care of patients who do not respond to treatment. 4. Outcome measurements. The care manager measures the patient's depressive symptoms regularly. 5. Stepped care. The treatment is adjusted based on clinical outcomes. The IMPACT model is beneficial and cost-effective, Johnson indicated. IMPACT patients experienced more than 100 additional depression-free days over two years than those treated with usual care. Patients who received IMPACT depression care had lower total health care costs than those that received usual depression care—$3,300 over four years. Yet, the cost of providing IMPACT care as a benefit to an insured population of older adults was less than $1 per member per month. In the end though, the question is not what it will cost to treat depression along with chronic disease, Johnson said. The question is: What is the cost of doing nothing? Common Signs of Depression • Persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood.• Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism.• Feeling of guilt, worthlessness or helplessness.• Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed.• Decreased energy or fatigue.• Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions.• Insomnia, early-morning awakening or oversleeping.• Appetite or weight changes.• Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts.• Restlessness or irritability.Source: MedTV John Scorza is associate editor of HR Magazine.

Royals Overcome Flat Start For Win
By Ryan Lazo, sports editor
May 2, 2014, 12:57
Darion Mealing played tough defense and opened the scoring for Prince George
PRINCE GEORGE — One would be hard-pressed to find a soccer team more impressive than the Royals with the way they have started their season. After finishing last season with a 10-6-1 record, Prince George has built off their previous success and experiences.
It has resulted in a historic road win over Thomas Dale — a 4-1 victory dismantling of the Knights which was their first home loss to a Central District team under head coach Mark Fowler — and an even more impressive 1-0 victory over a Meadowbrook team off to one of their best starts in recent history. It's why the Royals were a confident team heading into their match against Hopewell.
After all, Prince George had won six matches in a row and had defeated the Blue Devils earlier this season 5-1 at Merner Field. However, once the match got underway, the Royals were shellshocked.
Hopewell dictated much of the action and continually pushed the attack up pitch, showing off the relentlessness that has become common-place to the Royals this season. Yet, even though Prince George was able to sustain some attacks at different points during the first half as well as fire off eight shot attempts, it wasn't until the second half where they started to take control.
After another quick surge from the Blue Devils which was quickly snuffed out in the back, the Royals flipped the script on Hopewell and became active in the final third. Chance after chance presented itself before Darion Mealing's left-footed blast into the lower left-corner of net found twine to put the Royals on the board.
The goal was all the Royals needed to reestablish themselves while adding two more late tallies to capture a 3-0 shutout in a win they had to work for.
"I just didn't think they were prepared to play the game," head coach Tom Harrison said after his team persevered. "They just didn't seem to be playing with the intensity we've had for the last couple of weeks ... it was almost like they underestimated Hopewell which they shouldn't."
And it was their underestimation of the Blue Devils (1-7-1) which could have proved costly if not for the work-rate by Mealing in the critical first half of action.
Playing without normal left back Hunter Bartlett, Harrison chose to insert his most dangerous offensive weapon into his place with the hope of getting him more unmarked runs into the opponent's box. However, Mealing found himself playing a critical defensive role as Hopewell continued to push hard up the left-flank.
As the Blue Devils continually threaded through-balls in behind the Royals' (8-1) defense for Tyler Jordan and Quaron Fitzgerald, two dangerous finishers, it was Mealing who found himself tracking back to end each scoring chance. The senior captain not only chased down the Hopewell players with his defense, but fought them off the ball with his physical play.
Even more impressive is once he regained possession, Mealing was able to pivot and turn upfield to start another Royals' attack. It was the type of effort that impressed Harrison while the rest of his team struggled.
"We are normally really aggressive in the back and we're missing Hunter, so we decided to put Darion back there for a couple of reasons," Harrison explained. "A lot of teams man-mark him when he's in the midfield, so we're hoping to get some deeper runs, but it was a good thing we had him back there. He really had to to play some defense back there."
But one player stood out offensively for Prince throughout the game and it was striker Kam Smith.
Mitchell Smith helped connect passes through the midfield for both Kam Smith and Mealing to finish
The senior has been looked upon as the player who can excel in hold-up play while remaining active offensively by peppering the net with attempts from distance. Smith didn't disappoint either.
He was the danger man for the Royals with his consistent ability to find soft spots in the Hopewell defense to fire off shots, but his mechanics went awry all game long. Instead of planting over the ball, he fell into the habit of leaning back and it caused all his strong attempts to go high through the uprights behind the goal.
However, the fact Smith was once again able to create shots for himself is a positive sign for the Royals as is the added scores from Jose Zepada and Chase Hewett as Prince George has struggled to find a viable third scoring option. Additionally, having to fight their way to a tough win may have been just what the Royals needed as the season enters its final month.
"We have to show up to every game, no matter who the opponent is," Harrison said of what he told his team. "Unfortunately, even as coaches we look at records and compare opponents ... it comes down who came to play that particular night and Hopewell really came to play."
But the Royals were able to overcome their flat start to fight their way to a seventh consecutive win while learning a valuable lesson. Whether the lesson taught will be just what the team needed or a warning sign of events to unfold, remain to be seen.

Born that way
Born that way
Re. Melissa Charlton's Jan. 11 letter, "Open our minds to gays," which was a rebuttal of Rudy Gagliardi's Jan. 5 letter, "Gay marriage": She said being gay is genetic, but I think it's an alternative lifestyle.
Yes, gays have been mocked, but so have blacks, Jews, Christians, obese people, Poles — just about everyone.
Pedophiles want the same rights as gays. The North American Man-Boy Love Association demands the persecution end.
Bestiality is more common than people think. Will the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals someday demand the right to have sex with animals?
Ms. Charlton said comparing gays and bestialists is degrading to gays, but both are born that way.
A true libertarian must realize that responsibility, morals and God need to be included with liberty. Sin is not liberty; it's slavery.

NHL notebook: Rangers' Nash sits with lower-body injury
Penguins/NHL Videos
Rangers top-line forward Rick Nash sat out his first game of the season Tuesday because of an undisclosed injury. Whatever is ailing Nash threatened his playing status for Sunday's 2-1 home victory over the Washington Capitals, but he was in the lineup. New York coach John Tortorella would said that Nash, in his first season with the Rangers, was "banged up." Nash was well enough to play after warmups Sunday, and he earned an assist and tied his season high with eight shots in the game. He has three goals and nine assists with the Rangers this season. Enforcer Brandon Mashinter, acquired from San Jose last month, and young forward Chris Kreider joined the lineup Tuesday. They took the places of Nash and center Darroll Powe, who was placed on the injured list Monday after suffering a concussion during a collision with Washington's Matt Hendricks on Sunday.
• Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook didn't play in Chicago's game against Vancouver because of a lower-body injury, according to coach Joel Quenneville. Seabrooks has two goals, six assists and is plus-3.
• Minnesota Wild right wing Devin Setoguchi was fined by the NHL for a high-sticking penalty that leveled Detroit defenseman Kyle Quincey. The league announced that Setoguchi was docked $8,108.11, the maximum amount allowed under the collective bargaining agreement. The incident occurred in the second period of the Wild's win Sunday over the Red Wings. Setoguchi was given a double minor for hitting Quincey in the face with his stick as they collided near mid-ice. Quincey was down on the ice for a few seconds before getting up and going to the locker room for treatment.
• The Nashville Predators acquired defenseman Scott Ford from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for forward Jani Lajunen. The Predators said Ford will report to their American Hockey League affiliate in Milwaukee.
