The Hyde Park Barracks was built in 1819 to house, clothe and feed convict men and boys. This impressive brick building and walled compound was later used as the main dormitory for newly arrived female immigrants and became known as the Hyde Park Asylum. The Barracks then became a hub of government departments and renamed Chancery Square. Until the late 1970s, thousands of public servants, legal workers and litigants occupied the crowded complex. Today the Hyde Park Barracks is a museum about itself. For more info, click here

By Emily Le Coz/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – A gigantic mural of colorful produce now greets patrons of the Tupelo Farmers Market as part of an ongoing effort to beautify the otherwise sparse locale.
Nearly one dozen Tupelo High School students on Tuesday completed the project, a pastoral scene featuring produce, sunflowers, a tractor and the words "Buy Local Produce." It covers the entire wall of the building just north of the market. Building owner Henry Dodge granted permission for the work.
The students, under the guidance of their high school art teacher Anna Lindsey Garner, designed the mural and donated about 40 hours during the past six weeks to paint it.
"They are amazing," Garner said of the students. "I knew they'd do a great job, and they did. They all have a heart for community service."
Supplies for the project came from a $10,000 Project for Public Spaces grant obtained by the Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association, which runs the seasonal market. Remaining funds will go toward other improvements eyed for the space.
"We want to get ceiling fans, make improvements to the shed, do some landscaping," said Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association Director Debbie Brangenberg, adding that the agency also has other grants and donations it'll add to the funding pool.
Now in its 12th year, the market occupies an otherwise vacant lot on South Spring Street near the railroad tracks.
Any number of vendors sell a variety of local produce and homemade goods each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning between May and October.
Saturdays typically draw the largest crowds and often feature other activities like corn-shucking demonstrations and live music.
Brangenberg said vendor and shopper attendance has steadily risen over the years.
"When they have fresh peaches, you better get there within 30 minutes of it opening, or you won't get any," said city Environmentalist Sherrie Cochran, who contributed to the mural.
Other mural contributors were GumTree Museum of Art Director Kit Stafford, Farmers Market Manager Carl Brangenberg, business owner Charlie Watson and McCarty Construction.

Is it possible to setup a mailbox (using MS Exchange) to receive emails and store them as a text file on the server?
A developer has asked if this is possible so he can then build it into his application.
Any help is always appreciated
Speaking to the developer who's requested this, he's explained in more detail what he needs.
He basically wants users to be able to email email@example.com and to some how get those emails in text format into an SQL database.
Has anyone had any experience with this before or know of any application that can do this? .

"Wandlore is a complex and mysterious branch of magic."
Notes by Michele L. Worley
Page editor Belinda Hobbs
U.S. hardcover edition: pages 477 - 501
U.K. hardcover edition: pages 386 - 405
? March, 1998
In which Harry buries Dobby and regains perspective, putting the Horcrux hunt above the Hallows quest, though he realizes where the Elder Wand is and that Voldemort is about to get it as well as that there is probably a Horcrux hidden in the Lestranges' Gringotts vault. He first asks for Griphook's help in breaking into Gringotts, then asks Ollivander about the Elder Wand before telling the others that Voldemort is stealing the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's grave.
Interesting facts and notes about the text of this chapter:
The same day I first met you, Griphook. My birthday, seven years ago.
Although this happened on that day, when Harry was in Diagon Alley for the first time, Harry only learned of it over a month later, reading the Daily Prophet during his first visit to Hagrid's hut (PS8).

The new Extraordinary Organics restaurant opened recently at 77 Skinner St. in downtown Nanaimo.
Spokeswoman Julie Tran said the restaurant specialties in 100 per cent organic foods that have no preservatives and prides itself on having no microwave ovens of deep-fried foods on the premises.
The restaurant boasts a wide menu of mostly locally produced foods, including grass-fed beef in its burgers and a big selection of salads. The location has seen numerous unsuccessful efforts to establish restaurants in recent years, with the last being The Drift, but Tran said the owners and staff are "confident" with their menu and believe they will be successful.
"We know it will be a challenge and we accept," she said. "We're just now beginning to get the word out about our great food and we believe that people leaving our restaurants with a smile on their faces will go far in spreading the word."
Two Re/Max realtors from Vancouver Island have received prestigious awards in their field.
Derek Gillette, with Re/Max of Nanaimo, has been presented with the Circle of Legends Award, Re/Max International's highest honour. The award has been achieved by less than one per cent of the approximately 100,000 sales associates worldwide in the Re/Max network, with Gillette being just one of 196 realtors to achieve the status. Judy Gray was awarded the 2012 Realtor of the Year award by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board during a gala ceremony held in Nanaimo on Friday.
The award recognizes individuals whose dedication to excellence has had a profound influence on the professional image of VIREB realtors and exemplifies such characteristics as leadership and involvement in the community.
The Innovation Island Technology Association is preparing to launch its latest offering for technology entrepreneurs and companies looking to start their own businesses and/or accelerate their growth.
Paris Gaudet, executive director of the IITA, said the new "techSTARTchallenge" is intended to be an "investor-ready pitch competition" that is expected to be launched in May. She said all entrants to the program will be invited to present their business pitches at an open forum that is to be scheduled , and they will also have the opportunity to participate in "pitch workshop" training sessions.
Qualicum Landing, a $35-million waterfront community in Qualicum Beach, was a surprise winner at the 21st annual Geor-gie Awards, held Saturday in Vancouver.
The Palladian Developments project took home three awards, including the coveted Best Residential Community of the Year.
Just as the province's housing market was heading towards a downturn in early 2009, Qualicum Landing was ramping up for its pre-sale launch.
The sales and marketing team decided to scrap the original vision of 2,000-plus square-foot homes and focus instead on a smaller homes with more green space, more amenities and a much smaller price tag.

This dish – tau eu bak (soya sauce braised in soy sauce) is always a crowd pleaser. Most people I know like dish this very, very much. It's comfort food at its best – belly pork slowly braised till tender, with layers of fat that melt in the mouth, in a light gravy flavoured with soy sauce and enriched by the pork, and with the barest whiff of garlic. My mother makes this often, and serves it with rice and porridge. She always adds hard-boiled eggs, and sometimes potaoes or bean curd puffs.
It wasn't my favourite dish.
I was into curries, and whenever she cooked tau eu bak, it meant there'd be no curry on the table.
I only ate this if there was sambal belacan as accompaniment, and maybe go fry an egg for myself.
But then we all grow up, and have to leave behind those blissful days of sulking at the table because the meal was not to our liking.
Now, it's my turn to cook, and please the people I cook for.
And they of course like tau eu bak.
I did the smart thing – asked my mom to cook it for us to take home virtually every trip back to Penang.
She'd make me stand behind her as she cooked this dish, repeating all the while how she didn't understand why I couldn't make such an easy dish.
"See, it's the easiest thing to cook. I make this all the time," she'd say.
I now suspect she didn't notice all the times I said I hated tau eu bak (emotions are extreme when you are a kid).
Could that be possible? But then again, I spent many Sundays (for years) sulkily munching on white bread because I hated porridge, and they blithely ignored me and continued with porridge lunches on Sundays.
Oh well…
I didn't attempt to make this for the longest time, and my first few attempts didn't turn out so well. But there was no ignoring how my daughter is partial to this dish, and the ones we have eaten outside were too diluted and the pork not nearly tender enough. So I cook this often now too, because it's actually really easy (it's true).
And my friend Niki loves this – the first meal we had on a trip to Malacca (where we ate ourselves silly) was to a Chinese shop where everyone was wolfing down rice with tau eu bak mixed with curry chicken gravy, and Niki swore it's the best meal ever. And since I have been neglecting my duty of posting recipes he can cook far away in London, I am posting this recipe because this dish would be perfect for cold winters.
And also because this is Jason's favourite dish too.
Still not mine – in case anyone's interested to know. And I still need sambal belacan with my tau eu bak.
1 tablespoon of oil
2-3 cloves garlic, smashed
600g pork belly (must have the layer of fat), cut into small even chunks
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 litre water
salt, to taste (and if you need it)
3-4 hard-boiled eggs
In a pot, heat the oil and saute the garlic till fragrant.
Add pork belly, and stir till the fat seeps out, over medium heat.
Add the soy sauces, ground white pepper and sugar, and stir over high heat, for 5 minutes.
Turn down the heat to medium. Add water. Let it come to a slow boil.
Then turn down the heat to low, and let it simmer for between 45mins to an hour, or until the meat is tender to your liking.
Ten minutes before it's done, add the hard-boiled eggs.
Note: Even though the stew doesn't look like it's dark enough, don't add more soy sauce in the beginning. It'll darken as the meat braises slowly, and the soy sauce and sugar caramelises. If you want the sauce to be thicker, braise it with the lid open. You'll know it's almost done by its aroma. And when you have cooked this enough times, you could even tell what seasoning to add more of by its aroma.
One Response to Tau Eu Bak – Soy Sauce Pork
Niki says:
Off to buy some pork belly!

They will have trained for a month come June 15, and perfected their technique and at the end of the day, a local Facebook fan of Nicola's Donuts will (hopefully) be a Guinness World Record holder, provided they can eat more than six powdered donuts in three minutes!
Rachel Waatti and Michelle Kaw, owners of Nicola's Donuts since 2011, applied to the Guinness Book of World Records and have been granted permission to officially attempt to break the record, currently set by Shamus Petherick (Australia) at Donuts Coffee N More in Deception Bay, Queensland, Australia, on December 12, 2010.
From now until June 14, the owners are asking Facebook fans to sign up to attempt to set the record, hoping to fill 10 seats with eager (and hungry) customers. Those looking to sign up are invited to "like" their page and send them a message expressing their interest: https://www.facebook.com/NicolasDonuts
"We know our fans love their donuts, so who better to break this record than them?" said Waatti. "We are confident that one of our loyal customers can beat this record and we are excited to play a part."
Now through June 14, Nicola's will also be offering "training" session at their newest location in The Yogurt Spot at 15006 North Dale Mabry Highway (the store moved in early March from its previous location at 14390 North Dale Mabry Highway). Those looking to train will be given 90 seconds to eat three powdered donuts. Those completing the task will not be charged for the goodies.
Evidence will be collected in accordance with the Records Guidelines provided by Guinness and will subsequently be verified and approved by a Guinness World Records Adjudicator – the official Guinness World Records judge – who undertakes the assessment process to determine whether a world record has been achieved.

4-23-16: The Kings could not find their footing in their first-round series against the San Jose Sharks. Los Angeles went into San Jose's SAP Center and won Game 3 in overtime on Tanner Pearson's first career playoff goal. However, the very close series went the Sharks' way, as they won Games 4 and 5.
4-18-16: Marian Gaborik, who sat out Game 1's 4-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks due to a knee injury, had not played since February 12. He returned to the ice in Game 2, but it was in another one-goal loss for the Kings. The Staples Center crowd was not happy to see Vincent Lecavalier score Los Angeles' only goal in the 2-1 loss on Saturday.
4-4-16: With the exception of March 15's win in Dallas, Jonathan Quick played in every contest in March for the Kings. He started Saturday's contest against the Stars and saved 36 shots, but allowed three into the net, as Los Angeles fell, 3-2. The Kings, who are still without Marian Gaborik due to a knee injury, next head to Vancouver and Calgary.
3-23-16: There were just 18 Minnesota Wild shots on Jonathan Quick, but two of them went into the net in the Kings' 2-1 loss on Tuesday. Even though Los Angeles has now lost its last two contests, the team became the first Western Conference to clinch its 2015-16 playoff berth, which it accomplished over the weekend.
3-9-16: On Monday, the Kings defeated the visiting Vancouver Canucks, 5-1, behind two goals from center Jeff Carter. With that victory, the Kings have alternated wins and losses in their last five games. Los Angeles looks to continue to play well at Staples Center, but it will be difficult against the NHL-best Washington Capitals on Wednesday.
3-4-16: Benefactors of a 3-2 win over the Canadiens on Thursday night, the Kings remain tied with the surging Ducks for first place in the Pacific division. The two teams will face off tomorrow night in a pivotal divisional battle at Staples Center, where Kings vs Ducks tickets currently average $204.17 and the get-in price is $63 on the secondary market. With 11 games remaining at Staples Center this season the average price for Los Angeles Kings tickets is $157.06 on the resale market.
2-25-16: The Kings put together a strong week in which they salvaged a point in St. Louis on Thursday, won in overtime on Saturday at Nashville and were victorious on Tuesday in regulation against the visiting Calgary Flames. In their most recent victory, the Kings received Anze Kopitar's go-ahead goal in the second period.
2-17-16: On Tuesday, the Kings stopped alternating losses and wins, as they fell to the Washington Capitals, 3-1. Los Angeles put 40 shots on net, but only one went into the net. It was Anze Kopitar's shorthanded goal in the first period. The Kings will need some more players to step up on offense with the the team placing Marian Gaborik on injured reserve with a knee injury last week.
2-10-16: At TD Garden in Boston on Tuesday, the Kings played tremendously well in their yellow throwback jerseys. The Boston Bruins honored Milan Lucic for his time in Boston, and his current team did not disappoint, as nine different Kings, including him, scored in the 9-2 victory. The nine goals and 57 shots were both the most by an NHL team this season.
2-1-16: The division-leading Kings lost three of their four games before the All-Star break, but have 63 points and own fourth place in the Western Conference standings. They bring the conference's third-best goal differential into Tuesday's game at Arizona against the Coyotes, as Jonathan Quick looks to end his three-game losing streak.
1-27-16: The Kings own a comfortable seven-point lead over the Sharks in the Pacific division. They'll play one more game against the Avalanche tonight before the All-Star break. According to TiqIQ the average price for Los Angeles Kings vs Colorado Avalanche tickets is $74.98 and the get-in price is $33 on the secondary market.
1-13-16: The Los Angeles Kings continue to be the class of the Pacific Division, now with a nine-point lead one game past the midpoint of the season. Now 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, the Kings conclude a four-game home stand against the Ottawa Senators and take on the Anaheim Ducks on the road this week.
12-23-15: Although they're in first place of the Pacific, the Los Angeles Kings are looking to snap their two-game losing skid on their upcoming four-game road trip. The Kings face the Arizona Coyotes, Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames before returning home on January 2nd.
12-18-15: Returning to form after a forgettable 2014-15 campaign have been the Los Angeles Kings, who have skated to a 20-9-2 record atop the Pacific division. With 25 games remaining at Staples Center during the regular season the average price for Los Angeles Kings tickets is $130.54 on the secondary market.
12-9-15: The hottest team in the Western Conference is the Los Angeles Kings, who are riding a five-game win streak and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Sporting a nine-point lead in the Pacific, the Kings have two winnable games against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres this weekend.
11-19-15: The Kings have led a dominant 10-game campaign, going 7-3-0 over that time. They'll host their next home game at Staples Center against the Blackhawks on November 28, where tickets average $214.01 and the get-in price is $87 on the secondary market.
11-12-15: The Los Angeles Kings have played relatively well over the first 15 games of the season, garnering 18 points on a 9-6-0 record. They'll play 31 more games at Staples Center this season and the average price for Los Angeles Kings tickets is $135.45 on the secondary market.
4-13-15: The defending Stanley Cup champions are not in the playoffs. Nonetheless, the Kings struggled down the stretch which is a major reason why they're going home early. Players like Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar didn't perform well at all throughout the second half of the season. There is only so much Jonathan Quick can do.
4-7-15: The Kings had won two straight games prior to their loss Monday night against Vancouver. Overall, they are 5-3-0 in their past eight games played. The bottom line is there are two playoff spots for three teams with those teams being the Kings, Flames and Jets. The Kings play the Flames in Calgary on Thursday which is going to be huge. The Kings could be hosting a Game 1 as the Pacific's No. 2 seed or watching the playoffs from home. Anything could happen.
3-31-15: L.A. managed wins over New Jersey and both New York teams this past week. Their only loss was to Minnesota this past Saturday. With the defending champions still not guaranteed a playoff spot, the Kings need to win almost over game they play from here on out. The Kings sit three points behind Calgary in the Pacific, and two points behind Winnipeg in the wildcard race.
3-24-15: The Kings can never make anything easy for themselves. They had lost three out of four games prior to their 3-1 win in Jersey Monday night. It's getting less probable with each loss that the Kings will make the playoffs. With that being said, anything is possible with Los Angeles.
3-3-15: The Kings played themselves back into the playoff picture as they won eight straight games over a two week stretch. Jonathan Quick made 27 saves in a 1-0 loss to Ottawa. The Kings then dropped another two straight games. L.A. is tied with Calgary for the eighth spot in the West with 70 points.
2-9-15: The Kings dropped their first two games this past week before beating the Lightning this past Saturday. The Kings play of late is not good enough with the club well back of the final playoff
spot in the West. Jonathan Quick has been a big part of the problem. He has a .900 save
percentage in just four of 13 games played since the New Year. Los Angeles is in trouble folks.
2-4-15: The Kings lost four straight games and seven of their last eight heading into the All-Star break.
Los Angeles began the second half with a comeback win against Chicago 4-3. They followed that up with a 3-1 loss at Boston this past Saturday as part of a five-game road trip. The Kings would be out of the playoffs if they started today.
1-26-15: The Kings would be out of the playoffs if they started today. Los Angeles has been decimated by injuries to Marian Gaborik, Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson. Goalie Jonathan Quick has been off this season with a pedestrian 2.47 goals against average. The Kings placed Mike Richards on waivers Monday. If nobody picks him up or trades for him, he'll be sent to AHL Manchester.
1-22-15: The Kings are struggling. At some point, one would think they will figure it out. They have just
one win in seven games and two wins in 10 games. They lost 2-1 in overtime Monday night to
Calgary, who overtook them for the final playoff spot in the West. The Kings will most likely be
a top six team in the West come playoff time, but they're some concerns right now.
1-7-15: The Kings are muddling around in the West as they are tied with Winnipeg for the top wild-card spot with 47 points. L.A. went 1-2-1 last week and allowed seven goals in an overtime loss to the Predators this past Saturday. There is no need to panic in Los Angeles just yet, as the Kings always play their best hockey down the stretch.
12-24-14: After getting smacked in St. Louis 5-2 last Tuesday, the Kings seemed to awaken. They defeated the Blues in last Thursday's rematch in Los Angeles and then handled Arizona at home this past Saturday. They suffered a setback Monday night as they blew a 3-0 third period lead and fell 4-3 to Calgary in overtime. What the Kings do in December truly doesn't matter. They occupy the final wild-card spot in the West.
12-17-14: The Kings' struggles continue as they dropped a 5-2 contest to St. Louis on Tuesday. L.A. won just one out of four games on an Eastern Conference road trip last week. The team does have a plus-six goal differential and should get back to the win column soon. The only thing that matters for L.A. is how they play down the stretch and in the playoffs.
12-10-14: The Kings went 2-1-0 last week and are 3-4-1 in their past eight games. In their most recent game, the Kings dropped a 1-0 decision to Buffalo. I still don't think there is no need to worry in Los Angeles. The Kings are a team that can flip a switch until much later in the season. Backup goalie Martin Jones has a .947 save percentage in seven games this season. He has shutouts in his past two starts.
12-3-14: The Kings went 1-1-1 last week and having posted three losses in their last five games. They had nice 2-0 shutout victory over the Bruins Tuesday night. The Kings haven't won a division title since 1991, but they have two Cups in three years. Nobody should be panicking about this team. The trio of Tyler Toffoli, Jeff Carter and Tanner Pearson combined for 19 goals in October, while they had just six in November.
11-26-14: The Kings had won three in a row before losing a wild 5-4 game in Dallas on Saturday. They are 5-2-3 in their past nine games, including a shootout loss to Nashville Tuesday night. The Kings are fourth in the Pacific Division, but it doesn't matter if they finish first or eighth in the conference. The defending Stanley Cup champions will have a target on their backs when the playoffs roll around, and chances are they will relish and succeed in that role.
11-19-14: The Kings have very hot and cold this season. Six consecutive wins were followed by four straight losses, and that was followed by the current run of seven games in which the club has won just two games in a row once. They looked good Tuesday night in their 5-2 home victory over the Panthers. Los Angeles will be fine as they're a superb playoff team that underachieves during the regular season.
11-12-14: Since jumping out to a 6-1-1 start, the Kings are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. They scored five goals in a 5-1 win against the Canucks on Saturday, so maybe they're about to turn things around offensively. The regular season for the Kings is meaningless to an extent, as Los Angeles is a team built for the postseason. No need to worry if you're a Kings fan.
11-5-14: This past Sunday, the Kings lost to the rag-tag team from Carolina. LA has dropped all four
games of their road trip in Philly, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Carolina before beating Dallas on
Tuesday night. The Kings are averaging 2.25 goals per game, which explains their recent
struggles. The only scoring they're getting is from the Jeff Carter top line.
10-29-14: After losing their first two games, the Kings had won seven straight games before their 3-2 overtime loss in Philadelphia. It's hard to say that the regular season means nothing to the Kings, but it's true. They are a Stanley Cup favorite no doubt. Jonathan Quick has an impressive .950 save percentage in eight games.
10-22-14: The Kings have won four games in a row after dropping their first two games of the season. They have outscored their opponents 13-3. They have been outshot 84-34 in their last two wins, which could be cause for concern Jonathan Quick allowed a grand total of one goal on those 84 shots. L.A. will be without defenseman Slava Voynov who was arrested this week for domestic violence. The NHL promptly suspended him indefinitely.
10-15-14: It's been a rather unimpressive start for the defending Cup champs. They were pounded at home following the raising of their Stanley Cup banner. They then blew an early lead to Arizona to lose in OT. They did get their first win of the season this past Sunday over lowly Winnipeg. If there is any team in the league that nobody should worry about, it's the Kings.
10-10-14: A Stanley Cup defense did not start out as planned for the Los Angeles Kings. With their first game at home, the Kings were shut out by the San Jose Sharks. Los Angeles allowed a goal in the first and three goals in the second in route to a 4-0 loss. There were opportunities for the Kings to score, but they couldn't get any pucks by Antti Niemi on 34 shots during the game.
6-16-14: Kings defenseman Alec Martinez will live in hockey immortality forever. His goal in double overtime of Game 5 this past Friday gave the Kings their second Stanley Cup crown in three years. LA's continuity and health allowed them to develop chemistry that was visible throughout the playoffs, and especially when they fell behind in games during the Final. Los Angeles had 16 of their 18 players get at least one point in the Stanley Cup Final. In total, twelve Kings scored a goal. Their overall depth at forward was difficult for the Rangers to contain. The Kings ability to come back is another reason why they are the champions. For the playoffs, the Kings outscored their opposition 30-16 in the third period. They had the only third-period goals (three) in the Final, plus three overtime winners. Finally, Drew Doughty solidified himself this postseason as the NHL's top defenseman. This team has all the pieces to make another run at the Cup next season.
6-9-14: The Los Angeles Kings once again proved why they're a resilient bunch. The Kings have now fallen behind by two goals in three straight games, but they've somehow won them all. Their latest magic trick came in double overtime this past Saturday in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final at Staples Center defeating the Rangers 5-4 on Dustin Brown's textbook deflection goal. In fact, LA hasn't held a lead in their past 229:15 minutes of play, which goes back to the third period of Game 6 of the Western Conference Final against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Kings are the first team in NHL history to win three straight Stanley Cup Playoff games after falling behind by two goals. History could be on Los Angeles' side as the Kings won Games 1 and 2 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Final in overtime and went on to beat the New Jersey Devils in six games to win the Cup. Two more wins and they will be Stanley Cup Champions yet again.
6-2-14: After dispatching the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks in seven thrilling games this past Sunday, the Kings are heading back to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in three years versus the New York Rangers. These two teams haven't met in the Stanley Cup Playoffs since New York's 3-1 series victory in the best-of-5 first round back in 1981. Their only other playoff meeting was in 1979, when the Rangers swept a best-of-3 preliminary-round series. Marion Gaborik has 12 goals this postseason after scoring only 11 in the regular season. Tyler Toffoli has seven goals this postseason and has fit in quite nicely on LA's second line with Jeff Carter and Tanner Pearson. The trio has befuddled defenses all playoff's long. If Toffoli can remain dangerous, it will difficult for New York's defenseman to contain Los Angeles' top two lines. The Kings will win the Stanley Cup if they use their size and grit. LA is not a team that wins pretty. They're a team that wears down other teams. They must use their size to slow down the New York offensive attack.
5-27-14: The Kings find themselves in the driver's seat for the first time all postseason long. After dropping Game 1 of the series, Los Angeles rallied to beat the Hawks in Game 2 and used their special teams in Game 3 to propel them to victory. The Kings have been shorthanded an NHL-leading 66 times in 17 games during playoffs but held Chicago to one shot each on three of its four power plays. The Kings also got a power play goal from Slava Voynov. Jeff Carter has four goals and four assists in the series. Anze Kopitar, the aforementioned Carter, and Marion Gaborik are the top three scorers in the playoffs thus far.
5-19-14: This is the third straight trip to the Western conference finals for the Kings, who won the Cup in 2012 and had their chance at a repeat ruined by the Blackhawks one season ago. Rookie Tyler Toffoli scored the Kings lone goal in Game 1, which was his fourth goal of the postseason. Los Angeles did respond after falling behind by a goal and carried the majority of play for stretches, but they did squander a couple of opportunities late in the game.
5-12-14: One can point to LA's power-play struggles as to why this series is now tied at two games apiece. Los Angeles went 0-for-4 on the power play in Game 4 and is 2-for-12 for the series. They struggled to get set up in Anaheim's zone for at least two of those four tries. The Kings finished 27th on the power-play in the regular season. They went 6-for-24 against the San Jose Sharks in the first round and led the NHL playoffs with 34 total goals through Saturday.
5-5-14: The Kings stole Game 1 from the Ducks. Marian Gaborik tied the game with just seven seconds left in regulation and then won the game in overtime. Anze Kopitar had three assists for the Kings. LA needs to stay out of the penalty box if they want to have success in this series. In Game 1, the Kings were short-handed four times and allowed six shots on goal while down a man. If the Kings give the Ducks more than four power-play chances in any other game this series, they are playing with fire.
4-28-14: Never say die. That should be the Kings motto right now. Digging themselves a 0-3 hole early in the series was not a good idea. Fortunately, they have battled back to force a game six this Monday in Los Angeles. LA has all the momentum right now in the series and San Jose looks out of whacked. Jonathan Quick is playing much better along with the defense around him. It won't be easy to come back from 0-3 down, but just four years ago the Flyers did the same trick against the Bruins so anything is possible.
4-21-14: Goalie Jonathan Quick gave up just 10 goals in seven games to the Sharks last postseason but has surpassed that total in less than 4 1/2 periods in the rematch this season. Quick gave up seven goals in San Jose's 7-2 victory in game two this past Sunday and he gave up five goals in game one. The home team has won 18 of the previous 19 games between these teams, including nine in the playoffs. However, Los Angeles will need to break that spell to have a chance to win this series as the Sharks have home-ice advantage this year.
4-14-14: Los Angeles dropped four of its final five games, with the only exception being a victory over the lowly Edmonton Oilers. Marian Gaborik has 16 points in 19 games since being picked up from Columbus at the trade deadline. He's added some much needed firepower to a Kings team that has had trouble scoring all season long. Kings will face the Sharks in round one.
4-7-14: The Kings went 13-3-0 in their first 16 games after the Olympic break. They went 1-3-0 and had just seven goals in four games last week. The Kings are locked into the third spot in the Pacific and have been for most of the season. They'll face either the Sharks or Ducks in round one. The Kings have the veteran experience, talent, and moxie to make a serious run at the Stanley Cup.
3-31-14: The Kings are one of the hottest teams in hockey. They are 7-3-0 in their last ten games and have won six games in a row. The Kings are a couple of wins from clinching a playoff spot and are locked into the number sixth spot in the West. Anze Kopitar recorded his third multi-goal game of the season this past week. The Kings will go as far as Connecticut native. Jonathan Quick takes them.
3-25-14: The Kings had dropped three straight games before winning their last two against the Capitals and Panthers. Before this 2-3-0 stretch, they had won eight in a row. Teams would have to fold for the Kings to finish anywhere but third in the Pacific. They will either face the Ducks or the Sharks when the playoffs get under way in a few weeks. Marian Gaborik has two goals in eight games, over which time the Kings have averaged 2.63 goals per game.
3-17-14: The Kings have dropped two straight after winning eight in a row, but no one is doubting how good this team is right now? The Kings will likely play either San Jose or Anaheim in the first round of the playoffs in a series that will draw blood. Like the Blackhawks, the Kings are another team that has a Stanley Cup ring in their back pocket. They're clicking at just right time and could make another deep postseason run.
3-10-14: The Kings are winners of their last six games and are looking like the team everyone expected them to be. The addition of Marian Gaborik should help Los Angeles offensively. The Kings are the one team nobody wants to play in the playoffs. They have the skill, size, and experience to do some serious damage again this postseason. They're that one team that seems to being going under the radar in the West.
3-3-14: The Kings have won four in a row and three straight games since returning from the Olympic break. They scored six goals in a win against the Avalanche after scoring six total goals in their previous four games. They are still 10 points back of the Sharks for second place in the Pacific, so a playoff series that begins on the road looks certain. GM Dean Lombardi will be searching for move scoring depth at the deadline.
2-10-14: They earned a much-needed 2-1 overtime win against Columbus this past Thursday. The Kings' woes have put their playoff spot somewhat in question, as they have one regulation win in their past 11 games. They still hold down the final playoff spot in the Pacific Division, but Vancouver and Phoenix are on their heels. GM Dean Lombardi must address the Kings scoring problems at the trade deadline. Matt Mouslon or Thomas Vanek would look good in black and silver.
2-3-14: Offense has been a huge problem for the Kings. The team has all of three goals in its last six games played. Los Angeles now has just one win in its last nine contests. The Kings have slipped down the Pacific Division standings as they are 10 points back of second-place San Jose and nearly 20 points behind Anaheim. With only a four-point lead on Phoenix, the situation has reached a point where one can begin to wonder if the Kings will hang on in their fight for a playoff spot.
1-27-14: The Kings are struggling having lost five straight games and have scored just eight goals over that time. They look destined to be on the road in the first round of the playoffs, but if they're not careful, they could slip into one of the wild-card spots in the West. One of the biggest culprits for the Kings' offensive woes is Mike Richards. He has one goal in his past 28 games. GM Dean Lombardi will look to add some offense at the deadline and Buffalo's Matt Moulson could be just that guy.
1-20-14: The Kings' overall record in January is 4-2-2. San Jose has opened up a four-point lead on Los Angeles for second place in the Pacific and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Only one playoff team in the West, Minnesota, has scored fewer goals per game than the Kings' 2.45. Expect L.A. to add some scoring at the trade deadline. Could Buffalo's Matt Mouslon be somebody the Kings have on their radar?
1-13-14: The Kings have two wins in their past nine games and have scored 15 goals over that time. Since Jonathan Quick returned from injury, the Kings are 2-2-0 with nine goals scored. The work done while Quick was out just about secured the Kings a playoff spot but the Kings main focus over the rest of the season should be getting into the No. 2 spot in the Pacific for home ice in the first round of the postseason.
1-7-14: A win over Vancouver this past Saturday brought a stop to the Kings five-game losing streak. Los Angeles has a comfortable grasp on a playoff spot, but their problems of late have made them vulnerable in a battle for position. If that Saturday game had gone the other way Vancouver would hold down third in the Pacific and Los Angeles would be looking at a playoff date with Chicago in the first round. Martin Jones' .950 save percentage may lead the NHL, but with Jonathan Quick healthy again he's bound for the AHL.
12-30-13: They Kings have lost their past two games while allowing eight goals in the process. They had won nine of their last 10 before this little losing streak. Things will get tough for the Kings, as they will visit the Blackhawks, Stars and Blues this week. Anze Kopitar has failed to register a point in six of his past eight games and has just three goals and three assists in the month December. The Kings penalty kill currently ranks 6th in the NHL.
12-23-13: The Kings have won three straight games and nine of their last 10. Los Angeles currently sits second in the Pacific with 54 points, three back of. No team in the NHL has allowed fewer goals than the Kings' 71. Starting goalie Jonathan Quick is 10-5-0 with a .905 save percentage, backup Ben Scrivens is 7-3-4 with a .941 save percentage and third-stringer Martin Jones currently sits at 8-0-0 with a .966 save percentage. Yes, they have good goalies in LA.
12-16-13: The Kings had their six-game winning streak snapped in Chicago this past Sunday, losing 3-1 to the Blackhawks. It just LA's second regulation loss in 19 games, and all but three have been played without No. 1 goaltender Jonathan Quick. The Kings continue to nip at the Ducks for first place in the Pacific Division and could take over the top spot this week as they begin a four-game home stand Tuesday against the Oilers.
12-9-13: The Kings had a perfect week in which they beat St. Louis and Anaheim by narrow margins before routing the dismal Islanders. Rookie goaltender Martin Jones got his first NHL start last week against the Ducks and he did so well he also got the start against the Islanders. He made 16 saves for his first NHL shutout against New York. Jones is now 2-0-0 with a .955 save percentage. The Kings look like a serious Stanley Cup contender out West.
12-2-13: Los Angeles won a game, lost a game in the shootout (an epic game against the Sharks), and lost a game in regulation last week. The loss was troubling since it came against the Calgary Flames. Trevor Lewis just can't finish. He's 0-of-28 this year, pushing his career shooting efficiency to 3.5 percent on 342 shots. That's the worst total among active forwards (minimum 300 shots) in the NHL today. Ben Scrivens continues to perform well in place of Jonathan Quick, who is out with a groin injury.
11-25-13: Despite having a really good record, the Kings are still seventh place in the West. Los Angeles went 1-1-1 on the week and an impressive 5-2 win over Tampa Bay. The Kings just need to get healthy again. Jeff Carter remains on IR with a lower-body injury and Jonathan Quick could be out until Christmas with a groin injury. Ben Scrivens has been stellar in net since Quick went down with his injury. Kings fans better hold their breath that Quick's injury doesn't linger.
11-18-13: The Kings won three out of four games last week beating the Islanders, Rangers, and Devils in four nights. However, they did lose in the shootout to the lowly Sabres. The big news out of Los Angeles is the injury to goalie Jonathan Quick. He suffered a groin strain against Buffalo and will be out anywhere from three-to-six weeks. Backup goalie Ben Scrivens allowed only two goals on 88 shots this week and has a .955 save percentage in eight games this year
11-12-13: The Kings are still out the playoff picture (hard to believe with that record) but have played better of late. Los Angeles won both games they played this week by beating the Sabres and defeating a solid Canucks team 5-1. Jonathan Quick played better this week stopping 44 of 45 shots he saw. Quick did bring his save percentage up from a horrid .896 to .906. Jeff Carter needs to return to the lineup soon as the Kings miss his offensive game.
11-5-13: The Kings had an okay week defeating the powerhouse San Jose Sharks 4-3 in overtime. However, they dropped a road contest to Phoenix and a home game to Nashville. The Kings haven't had a losing streak more than two games this season, nor have they had a winning streak more than three games. The Kings are 4-0 in shootout this season, after only winning twice last season. Jeff Carter being placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury is a huge loss for the Kings.
10-29-13: It was a pretty good week for the Kings. They scored a season-high seven goals against a talented Coyotes squad and then dominated a tired Edmonton Oilers. Jonathan Quick is still searching for his form. Through 11 games this season, Quick is 7-4-0 on the year with an average .907 save percentage. I still question whether or not he's an automatic lock to be Team USA's starting goalie at the Olympics this year in Sochi.
10-21-13: Drew Doughty finally seems to be getting his scoring touch back. After starting off the season ice cold, Doughty registered a goal and an assist in the Kings 5-2 victory over Dallas. The Kings are 3-0 in the shootout this season, but really haven't played well yet. Folk hero Jonathan Quick has been less than stellar in his starts this season. Could Team USA go in another direction in goal for the 2014 Olympics? I guess it's possible.
10-14-13: After opening the season with a victory against Minnesota, the Kings dropped two games before picking up victories against Carolina and Ottawa. Statistically speaking, the Kings are trending upwards. The goals against are going down, along with shots against. The penalty kill is rising, but Kings fans should be worried about their stagnant power play. Jonathan Quick gave up an embarrassing goal last week against the Rangers that landed him on ESPN's not top 10 plays.
10-7-13: It's been a rather boring start for the L.A. Kings. They came from behind to beat Minnesota in overtime in their opener and then got destroyed by an upstart Winnipeg Jets team. All-world goalie Jonathan Quick has looked pedestrian in his two starts and will he be surefire lock to start for Team USA at the Olympics? That remains to be seen.
9-4-13: Large strides have been made in the past 10 years for the Los Angeles Kings, including their first Stanley Cup. President and General Manager, Dean Lombardi, continues to do his research and knows how difficult it will continue to be in a Kings Quest to win their second Championship. Gone is veteran defenseman, Rob Scuderi and forward, Dustin Penner, but the depth of the LA Kings, remains in high praise and compete for the rising franchise.
The emergence of Jonathan Quick, in the past three years, is now the proven number one goaltender, and the exchange of goaltender Jonathan Bernier for forward, Matt Frattin to the Toronto Maple Leafs, is bittersweet. The return of Willie Mitchell and the emergence of Slava Voynov, coupled with Drew Doughty land the LA Kings with a solid defensive core.
Los Angeles fans eagerly await every game this season. The spoils of the St. Louis Blues (twice), retribution to the San Jose Sharks from 2010 and their own retribution of the Chicago Blackhawks are eagerly awaited tests of Los Angeles metal. However, division reign and a second Stanley Cup are the only decree of the silver and black.
8-3-13: The Kings and defenseman Andrew Bodnarchuk have agreed on a two-year contract as well as a three-year entry level contract for defenseman Colin Miller
7-25-13: The Kings have signed Jordan Nolan to a two-year contract extension worth $1.4 million.
7-20-13: The Kings have agreed to an eight-year extension with Dustin Brown.

Dunkin' Donuts is coming to California for the first time in 12 long years, and sugar lovers in the West Coast state are already thinking hungrily about the restaurant sites' upcoming arrival. As part of its latest expansion venture, the wildly popular Dunkin' Donuts hopes to find more success in California with its signature coffee, doughnuts, and pastries. News Max reveals this Wednesday, June 11, that the chain's company leaders formally announced that the coffee and bakery giant will be setting up shop in a hopeful 1,000 places throughout the state soon.
After a fresh dozen years — pun intended — Dunkin' Donuts California stores are going to be a real thing in the western state before 2014 comes to an end. These first branches are going to be relatively few in number and based on the company's traditional design and basic structure. A total of five initial sites are set to be established in Whittier, Modesto, Long Beach, Downey, and Santa Monica, California, as part of the introductory expansion roll out.
Yet residents on the West Coast who don't live in or near these areas have no reason to worry. According to the press release from the Dunkin' Donuts company, an additional 200 coffee and bakery restaurant chains are expected to be coming to the state before long. And while it may be far away at this point in time, one official even noted that they hope to "have as many as 1,000 restaurant sites throughout [California] eventually."
MSN Money News similarly notes that these designs to create Dunkin' Donuts California sites for the first time in 12 years have been long in the making, but now that the plans have finally reached development, construction will be picking up pace quickly.
"We are pleased with the solid start to our California development plans, and today's announcement of the locations of our first new traditional Dunkin' Donuts restaurants represents development that is ahead of schedule due to the strong interest of prospective franchisees and consumers across the state," Paul Twohig, president of Dunkin' Donuts U.S. and Canada, and Dunkin' Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Europe and Latin America offered today in a public comment.
While such coffee shops as Starbucks have been ruling the West Coast roost in California for the past decade, Dunkin' Donuts intends to bring some fresh competition and doughnuts into the mix since their last closing back in 2002. The move back to the state is also going to throw a bit of opposition with fellow doughnut chains like Krispy Kreme.
Dunkin' Donuts feels that they are up to this big challenge, however. The senior director for U.S. operations and franchise processes, Steve Rafferty, said in a recent statement that it's not only the competition the bakery giant will need to contend with, but also finding quality locations that are convenient and accessible to customers.
"A lot of the other coffee competitors and quick-serve restaurants are already there," Rafferty told a local California newspaper. "We're the last ones in. And we know there are drive-through restrictions in certain towns and it will be a little more challenging for us to get the best corner."
Although three non-traditional Dunkin' Donuts sites have remained in California, this is the first time that fully equipped sites are coming back to the West Coast, and both company officials as well as customers, no doubt, are excited about the upcoming transition. Are you looking forward to the long-awaited return of these new locales?
"We are especially happy to be partnering with such experienced and passionate franchise groups as we begin opening traditional Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in California," Twohig concluded. "We look forward to keeping Californians running on our brand's high-quality coffee, sandwiches and baked goods."

Whenever you see a spring with many days of rain, like we've had, it's a good bet you will see a healthy (or unhealthy, depending on how you look at it) population of mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes are harmful enough just biting you, but there is also the risk of West Nile Virus which has killed 59 people in Ohio since the year 2000, according to the Ohio Department of Health. In 2012 the number was seven fatalities out of 121 cases. The worst year for WNV was 2002 when 441 cases were reported and 31 were fatal.
For most people there are no symptoms when bitten by a WNV-carrying mosquito. For some there are flu-like symptoms that can last for weeks. For a small number, usually people with weak immune systems, the illness requires hospitalization and could be fatal.
So how does one reduce the chance of mosquito bites? The state health department recommends:
-- Use insect repellents when you go outdoors. Repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, and some oil of lemon eucalyptus and para-menthane-diol products provide longer-lasting protection.
-- Wear long sleeves and pants from dusk through dawn when many mosquitoes are most active.
-- Install or repair screens on windows and doors. If you have it, use your air conditioning.
-- Help reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home by emptying standing water from containers such as flowerpots, gutters, buckets, pool covers, pet water dishes, discarded tires and birdbaths.
Some other tips I have picked up include:
-- Keep the lids on trash cans to keep out the rain.
-- Repair leaky pipes and outdoor faucets.
-- Empty plastic wading pools at least once a week or store in a position that water will drain.
-- Keep grass cut short around the house, so adult mosquitoes will not hide there.
-- Wear clothing treated with insect repellents when outdoors.
Trail gets boost: The Little Miami State Park Trail that passes through Greene, Warren, Hamilton and Cleremont Counties is the latest park to be earmarked for part of the $88.5 million being doled out by the legislature for improvements in state parks.
Capital improvements will include repairing and repaving areas of the 50-mile segment of the trail as needed, shoring up areas of slippage and fortifying shorelines, repairing and replacing guardrails and fences and repairing bridges and storm water culverts.
For more information, visit ohiodnr.gov.
Yellow perch stocked: For the third straight year, yellow perch fingerlings have been stocked in Grand Lake St. Marys. Some 308,000 perch have been stocked in Ohio's largest inland lake since 2012. The idea is to reestablish a reproducing perch population. It takes about three years for the fish to grow to keeper size.

A Daily Word from the Word for Wednesday, August 27, 2014
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."– Psalm 91:1
Many of God's children are weary. Today, I am calling forth a release of God's rest upon His sons and daughters. This day, I am calling on a move of God's Holy Spirit to breathe refreshment on the people of God.
Are you tired, my brother? Are you tired of being tired, my sister? Then be released into the Father's rest this day.
The Hebrew word for "abide" as used in this verse is liyn (pr. leen), which is to "stay permanently, dwell, lie all night, lodge, remain (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance). Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines "abide" as "to stay or live somewhere, to remain or continue;" and defines "lodge" as "to deposit for safeguard or preservation, to have residence, to come to a rest."
Where are you lodging, my brother? How are you resting your head, my sister? Are you lodging in the world's hotel, family? Or are you taking up residence and leaning in the everlasting arms of the Father? (Deuteronomy 33:27). Let the confession of our mouth be that of the psalmist King David, who rested in the Word as he decreed "I will abide before God forever; He will appoint loving-kindness and truth that they may preserve me" (Psalm 61:7).
Let us come into agreement with the Psalmist's 91st Psalm. Personalize it, and rest in its eternal promise:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust."
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation."
Father, thank You for Your gift of rest—Your blessing of abiding. Teach us how to rest in You, Most Perfect Father. We call on You to refresh us, and to release us to Your rest. We cast our care upon You, Most Thoughtful Father, because You care for us (1 Peter 5:7). In Jesus Name, we thank You that we lodge permanently in You, and that we walk in Your times of refreshing. Amen and Amen.
Take action! Challenge your thinking! Choose to call on the Father's peace to wash over you and to consume you. Forsake the restlessness of the world for the rest in the Father. Learn to abide in the Creator by walking in His Word each and every day. And continue to fight the good fight of abiding in the Almighty; for God, your Sweet Sleep from Heaven Divine, has already given you the victory!
If you have never received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do it today, right now, by saying this prayer out loud: "Jesus, forgive me for my sins. I am sorry. I truly desire to be saved and reconciled back to God, my Father, through You. I receive Your sinless Blood as payment in full for my sins—past, present, and future. I now call You my Lord and Savior, and invite You to live within my heart, and to permanently live within me. I make You Lord over me and over my life from this moment on. Amen." Congratulations! You are now a child of God, made whole and made new, by the Blood of Jesus Christ!
God tells us that we are blessed to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2). Be a blessing to someone by sending them this word of encouragement. If God did not already put someone in your spirit and on your heart that needs to read this uplifting message from above, simply ask your Heavenly Father who to bless on today. Forward this message right now by email, facebook, or twitter.
Jesus is coming soon!
May God Bless you and keep you always.
With warmest regards,
And, in service of The Most High King,

TUCSON, Ariz. -
Arizona women's tennis player Lacey Smyth (Oceanside, Calif.) was one of 64 players selected to compete in the 2013 NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championships on Wednesday.
The competition will be held May 22-27 at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex/Atkins Tennis Center in Urbana, Ill., following the conclusion of the team championship.
Of the 64 selected, 16 qualified automatically after winning a conference championship. Smyth was one of 48 players who received an at-large bid from the selection committee for the second-straight year.
In 2012, Smyth defeated the country's 10th-ranked player before falling in the second round.
"We're excited that Lacey made the individual tournament," Arizona Head Coach Vicky Maes said. "She had some great wins this year, despite being out for a long time in the fall with injury. She worked hard to regain her strength and get back to her competitive level. She played great at NCAAs last year and the experience will benefit her now that she gets to go back."
Smyth played at the No. 1 singles spot in every match for the Wildcats this season, facing some of the nation's top talent. She posted an impressive 16-8 record, including wins over four top-80 ranked players. She earned Pac-12 Player of the Week honors on two different occasions.

Carpet suppliers diversify with hard surface products
More and more carpet manufacturers are broadening their horizons by adding hard surface flooring. Mohawk began its hard surface operations with the acquisition of Dal-Tile and American Olean in 2001 and now offers a full range of hard flooring choices. Shaw built its first laminate plant in 2002 and now has a complete array of hard surface products.
Even Invista Surfaces is getting into the hard surface flooring business. "We are looking across the whole flooring category," stated Dan Haycook, executive vice president, Invista Surfaces. "Invista is currently testing Stainmaster hardwood, a ceramic and grout system, padding and LVT (luxury vinyl tile)," added Steve Griffith, CMO, Invista Surfaces.
In 2014, Mohawk Group will be refocusing its effort in the LVT category with an aggressive and fully integrated strategy, according to Mike Gallway, senior vice president of product for the Mohawk Group. "The design of these products will coordinate with the company's soft surface offerings," he said.
Shaw, which has brought all residential product development — hard and soft — under one roof, is looking for new ways to bring complete flooring solutions to commercial customers as well, starting with the introduction of coordinated carpet and resilient styles in 2013, according to Brenda Knowles, Shaw's vice president marketing and product development , commercial division
Beaulieu is expanding its luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) line of tile and plank styles that was introduced in September 2013. "We have had excellent reception and will add half again as many products in January," said Ralph Boe, co-CEO of the company. "We have shipped samples and more are being delivered. We designed the display to be easily expanded from 24 to 36 samples. The Beaulieu LVF line also includes transition pieces for each coloration and texture for uniform transitions."
As the only U.S. manufacturer to make both carpet and hard surface flooring for the contract market available through one sales force, Mannington Commercial has presented its broadloom and carpet tiles, resilient (LVT and sheet), laminate, rubber, ceramic and wood products in coordinated architectural folders for a long time.
After becoming a Tarkett company in 2012, Tandus and sister company Centiva began merging in 2013, according to Glen Hussman, president of Tandus Centiva. "We are well on the way to forming one organization — Tandus Centiva — in 2014. It's been good to continue to outperform the industries in both categories — modular carpet and luxury vinyl tile and luxury vinyl plank — even as we make the changes necessary to merge the two companies," Hussman reported.
Both carpet products and LVT/LVP folders are being updated in 2014. Each will be featured in folders but other Tarkett products have supporting roles. For example, a folder for soft surface for hospitality will include information about Johnsonite accessories and a touch of Centiva products. "As we go forward, we will attempt to help our customers by showing them options and multi-surface solutions," Hussman said.
Tandus Centiva will look to develop more hybrid resilient platforms in the tradition of its Powerbond, which combines soft flooring characteristics with resilient features. Narrative, a hybrid resilient product introduced at NeoCon 2013, will be commercially available in 2014 as modular and roll goods.

As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on June 28, 2012
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3120 would have no significant cost to the federal government. Enacting the bill could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that any effects would be insignificant for each year.
Under current law, foreign students may enter the United States temporarily to study at universities and other educational institutions. Under H.R. 3120, such students could only attend accredited institutions.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collects fees from educational institutions and students and spends those fees (without further appropriation actions) to cover the costs of administering the international student program. The Department of State collects application fees for nonimmigrant visas issued to students and spends those fees on border security programs. Enacting H.R. 3120 could reduce the number of institutions available to international students and decrease the amount of fees collected by DHS. However, we expect that any reduction in collections would be offset by lower spending, so CBO estimates that the bill would not affect net direct spending. Students from certain countries are required to pay additional visa fees based on reciprocity agreements between the United States and their home country; those fees are deposited in the Treasury as revenues. CBO estimates that enacting the bill would affect few students and result in an insignificant reduction in revenues.
H.R. 3120 contains no intergovernmental mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). The bill contains private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA, but CBO estimates that the aggregate cost of the mandates would fall below the annual threshold established in that act ($146 million in 2012, adjusted annually for inflation).

Senior Women's Tennis Player Natasha Marks -
Hey wildcats!
Another exciting weekend at Robson tennis center and the tennis cats took on rival team University of San Diego (USD) ranked No. 35 after suffering an away defeat last year.
The week commencing we knew that this was a key match... well a must win really. After an exhausting weekend in Tennessee a few of the girls took two days off to recover and then we went right back into training. With a lot of individual success against the USD Toreros, we matched up really well and knew their game styles, which helped in our training.
On Friday the night before the match Coach Vicky, Ryan and Ross took us for a team meal at a local restaurant, where the two freshmen and myself got lost and couldn't find the restaurant. At last we made it and joined the rest of the team and sat down for a fantastic meal.
It was Saturday and match day, as most of the team and I headed to the training room at 7:30 a.m. to meet Jonathon, our super athletic trainer! After getting treatment, we headed to the courts for match prep, which is an hour and a half before the match start time.
Doubles started a little slow after losing the point and we went back into the team room knowing that we had to fight for every point to win all six singles.
USD is a feisty team and has an unusual style of play, which caused us some difficulty; however, we started strong in singles with Lacey, Susan and Sarah defeating their opponents and it came down to me, one of the three seniors for the deciding match.
I had beaten my opponent before in the fall season and found myself in a battle. After the not playing my best tennis and losing the first set, I knew I had to step up my game and play more aggressive in the second set and take my chances at the net. By this time I was the only match on and both teams and fans were cheering like crazy on the sidelines!
I found myself in a sticky situation in the second set and saved eight match points to win the set and ended up winning 6-1 in the third. Déjà vu happened, as I started to cramp in the final set and thought of Kim, having full body cramps last weekend against Vanderbilt and going to the hospital. But of course, Jonathon was there and saved the day with his never-ending supply of ice bags and telling me to down Powerade after Powerade.
After an intense match, we beat the Toreros 4-3.
I would like to say a big thank you for everyone who came out to support us, as we had one of our biggest crowds yet and it was great to see a lot of Mckale staff out on the courts!
On a personal note, I want to say a big thanks to Tom who met me on the side of my court who owes me a soda for our next home game and I hope he gets to read this!
It was a great win for the CATS and we are looking forward to Saturday at the Robson Center where we take on San Diego state Aztecs.
Hope to see you all there...
Go CATS!
