I'm trying to find a pair of high waisted hotpants, preferably sequined or in some way shiny. I'd like them to come in some sort of gray/silver/black but at this point I don't mind any color. I found one version with American Apparel, but they are a little pricey and I have some issues with American Apparel's sexist and sizeist attitudes. I thought if anyone could find another option (or many cool options) it would be you! I'm looking to spend $30 or less, but if they are totally fabulous and I can see myself wearing them again I could spend more."
Hi Genevieve! There are quite a few more sequin shorts out there than I expected, though if you're set on high waisted you might have to splurge a bit. The cheapest solution to your problem appears to be dancewear. I don't know what you're wearing up top, but if it's something you can layer, I'd suggest the unitard because it could give the illusion of a high waist. I stuck a couple of low waisted shorts in the mix too if you're willing to compromise. I hope something here fits the bill! If you don't love any of these, let me know what your costume is and I'll see what else I can do. -Mitchy

We do a lot of best lists around here. I've suggested we start up a "worst of" list, but that idea hasn't really caught on. The idea isn't get down and gripe about our city, it's to be honest about pointing out what doesn't work, or what habits and attitudes cripple Dallas' ability to pull off being, well, even better. Case in point: over on the Dallas Observer blog, Robert Wilonsky reports about how the fountains at Fair Park turned into an impromptu wading pool during the Fourth Fifth of July celebrations yesterday. And how did that impromptu revolt against the city with no public swimming options end? Police and park officials broke it up. Probably because there are insurance issues, or programming issues, or fear issues, or challenged authority issues, or "we didn't plan for this so we can't have it" issues. But whatever the issues, the people should have been allowed to swim because that would have been the interesting, big city thing to do. And if we could count on the fountains being full at Fair Park, and if traipsing through them was as accepted as splashing around in Millennium Park, well, I could see "swimming in Fair Park's fountains" as a shoe-in for a D Best.

It's all fun and games until someone trips on the wires at the bottom of the fountains, slices their head open on one of them, and holds the city liable.
http://frontrow.dmagazine GS
Yes, allowing patrons to wade in the fountain would have been nice, but in today's litigious society, all it takes is someone tripping over the equipment or becoming sick with cryptosporidium or another parasite and then it's the City's fault for allowing people to wade in the water. It's not made to wade in – Chicago's Crown Fountain at Millennium Park is (much like AT&T PAC's Sammons Park) – understand the difference.

Rumble's First Planted (12G Long)
2 Attachment(s)
Hi all - I've been reefing the majority of my aquarium career, but have been impressed with planted tanks for a while. I'm currently in school and decided a small planted tank would satisfy my tank craving and be a new challenge for me.
I decided to go with a Mr Aqua 12 due to the unique footprint. Right now the tank is bare essentials as I try to figure out what I want to keep.
My tap pH is around 7.6 and moderately hard. I'm hoping for a lush/nature tank with minimal maintenance.
Mr Aqua 12G Long
~25 lbs Caribsea Eco Complete Black Substrate
Eheim 2215
All suggestions are welcome, I know the set up looks pretty bad now but I'm slowly working on it in between exams:) .
Welcome to the forum
Welcome and Congrats! It looks like its off to a great start. Excellent filtration. Feel free to drop by our club page to look/ask about any ideas ;)
Thanks Guys! My heater arrived today and I ordered a 36" Marineland Double Bright (following in the steps of Somewhatshocked).
As for what I plan to stock, I want a simple/low maintenance Amazonian tank. I study environmental science so I love the idea of doing a specific region.
I was thinking of just some cardinals, cories, and ottos. I would like to keep a pair of rams if possible, or do you guys think 12 gallons is too small?
Lastly, what would you guys suggest to soften water? I was thinking something like peat pellets (and I wouldn't mind the tint).
Any and all advice appreciated, I'm still a little salty from reef keeping!
A 12 long AND a boston terrier? I think we're tank soulmates. Except I have, ahem, two of each. :hihi:
As far as softening the water you can mix tap and RO, use all RO and remineralize it, or you can do peat. Here's a thread where they made a peat filter: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=175620
You could also just use a substrate that buffers the water. ADA aquasoil, Azoo plant grower, and Up Aqua soil are a few options.
ETA: You could also just use your tap as is. I don't know about the cardinals, but I have cories, otos, and other soft water fish that are fine and healthy in my tap which sounds very similar to yours. It reads 7.4 or 7.6 depending on which API test I use and has a gh of 12.
Cardinal tetra will do fine with tap. I used to have them in my discus tank and it was in tap water.
Anybody have any thoughts on the rams?
Welcome :)
I agree, great start. Good choice of tank, I wish we could get them over here in the UK -If they are here, I can't find them anywhere!
Good luck with it, looking good so far :)
1 Attachment(s)
So here's an update:
I couldn't resist and bought a pair of German Rams. As for plants, all I have is a microsword and some Anachris. I'm most likely going to end up purchasing the rest of my plants online. They're are NO decent stores with plants around and I want to keep it a Amazonian tank.
Next I'd like to add some Manzanita. I'm not too thrilled with the aquascaping, but there isn't much I can do with what I have locally.
As always, advice/opinions appreciated!
Unless you're running CO2 and dosing ferts, you're going to need to raise your fixture quite a bit in order to avoid algae issues.
Have you considered checking the For Sale section here on TPT for great manzanita and other hardscape materials? It's also a great place to get plants.
I'll have to check the For Sale section out.
How high did you end up raising your lights? I want low maintenance and don't want CO2 for now.
And what do you recommend for dosing? I have some Flourish.
Dosing may or may not be necessary depending upon the plants you keep, the amount of light you have and whether or not you use CO2.
Since you said you don't want to use CO2, dosing heavily won't be necessary. You also said you want low maintenance, which means you'll need to raise the light. That means the amount of fertilizer necessary will be dependent upon the plants you choose. If they're basic root feeders? You can use something as simple as root tabs and be just fine.
As far as raising the fixture, there are countless ways. Mine is raised with the help of some chain and two stands. Feel free to check out my 12gal journal for details. There are several other people here on the forum using the same fixture on the same tank, so be sure to check out their journals for details, as well.
I've seen your journal, even subscribed to it. Just wondering how high above the tank we're taking. I'm guessing something around 6"?

BRUNSWICK — A new company founded in Brunswick seven months ago is hoping to grow to 120 employees in the next five years.
The company, V3 Transportation, specializes in expedited transportation and officials said their location in the Brunswick Industrial Park puts them in a good location to ship items around the Midwest quickly.
"We chose Brunswick because of its central location in Northeast Ohio," CEO Bob Poulos said. "When customers come to us, we're their last resource."
The company's clients include a variety of industries ranging from construction, automotive and paper and packaging to hazardous waste.
Poulos said he and John Sliter, president and chief operating officer of the company, aren't the only ones in the industry who viewed the Akron/Cleveland metro area as a good place to headquarter their operations.
"Two of our largest competitors are within a 20-mile radius," Sliter said.
One of those competitors is Panther Expedited Services, headquartered at the other end of Medina County in Seville. Both Poulos and Sliter have worked for Panther, with Sliter serving as COO of Panther.
Poulos worked for Panther also, but most recently worked for U.S. Express where served as vice president of sales.
"I guess you could say we're seasoned veterans in this industry," Poulos said.
Poulos said he and Sliter decided the time was right to start their own shipping business. The Great Recession took a toll on freight operations and expedited operations and many companies had to scale back their fleets.
"John and I believe we're entering the next evolutionary cycle in our business," Poulos said.
The company now employs 17 people at its Brunswick headquarters, 1258 Industrial Parkway North, and it has a fleet of 45 trucks.
Drivers are hired as independent contractors, but their vehicles are used exclusively for V3 Transportation.
The company hopes to grow from the $10 million outfit it is today to a $100 million business by the end of 2017 with about 120 full-time employees at the headquarters and a fleet of 600 vehicles.
Right now, V3 expedites freight to eastern Texas, and all the states east of the Mississippi River except for Florida, New Jersey and the New England region. Eventually, the company hopes to expand services nationwide. It hopes to grow in place with an option to lease additional space in the building it currently occupies.
"We would like to stay here in Brunswick," Poulos said. "That's the plan."
The company hosted an open house Monday for the community and conducted a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project.
"The veterans coming back — their unemployment rate is 20 percent," Sliter said. "Today we raised money for a soldier who lost his legs in Afghanistan.
"We're thrilled to be a part of that."

College Hockey:Medvecz's Goal In Waning Seconds Gets Point For Miami
RedHawks, Nanooks Finish In Draw
OXFORD, Ohio — Skating on the power play and with its net empty, Miami escaped against Alaska-Fairbanks with a 2-2 tie when senior Matt Medvecz scored with eight seconds left in regulation Friday night.
The Nanooks (3-6-2, 2-5-2 CCHA), coming off a bye week, were the first to score in the game. Blaine Bablitz netted his fourth goal of the season at 1:39 in the second period.
Bablitz' goal was key in that it erased any Miami (11-3-1, 6-2-1 CCHA) momentum that may have carried over from a scoreless first period, in which the RedHawks outshot the visiting squad 10-3. Credited with an assist on Bablitz' goal was defenseman Felipe Larranaga.
After a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct was handed out to UAF's Kelly Czuy for checking from behind at 5:25 in the second period, it appeared the RedHawks were on their way to tying the game. But while killing the major, the Nanooks broke out of their zone and scored a shorthanded goal only 1:10 into the RedHawks' first power play of the game.
Netting the shorthander was Jared Sylvestre, his fifth goal of the year. The feed on the break came from David Keough.
Not all was lost for Miami as the RedHawks found the back of the net on that same power play. Freshman Chris Michael planted himself in front of the crease and stuffed home his second goal of the season at 6:54 to make it a 2-1 game. Senior Nick Jardine and junior Mike Kompon assisted on Michael's power-play goal, Kompon improving his point-scoring streak to 13 games in the process.
With the Nanook defense on its heels, the Miami offense continued to press, but could not get anything by the defense of UAF goalie Preston McKay, who stopped 12 shots in the third period and 37 for the game.
Miami was finally able to get the best of McKay one more time before the end of the game, when Medvecz came to the rescue with the tying goal. Already skating a man-up on the power play, the RedHawks pulled their goalie to have two extra attackers. Senior Danny Stewart fed Medvecz on the give-and-go score.
The RedHawks rifled five shots on McKay in the extra period, but never managed to sneak past the game-winning goal. Earning the tie in goal for Miami was senior David Burleigh, who stopped a total of 24 shots.
In addition to making 24 saves, Burleigh and the RedHawk penalty-killing unit runs its streak to 15 consecutive power plays without allowing a goal.

Florida Panthers: Hypocrisy in hockey
I've seen and heard countless talking heads in the past 24 hours ripping Panthers' defenseman Keith Ballard for accidentally whacking his goalie in the head while swinging his stick in frustration.
It seems they all want to be the first to denounce Ballard's actions and express their outrage. It's easy to bash Ballard right now.
But it's also hypocritical.
Because sticks are bashed on the goal cage over and over and over again in frustration. It's done just about every game. Goalies themselves do it. And all this time, in my four-plus seasons covering the NHL, I've never heard anyone express outrage. Only when Ballard is the unlucky one to have it turn out disastrous.
I'm curious to know if everyone who's calling for a suspension now — and there are a lot of people doing so, do they want a suspension because of what Ballard did, or because he happened to connect with his goalie's head. Because that's two different things. It doesn't seem as if the critics here are judging based on the actions as much as the result.
If you're going to suspend Ballard, then you need to suspend every single player who ever smashes his stick. All are reckless in their actions. Most are just lucky enough there is no consequence on the ice.
Let's make this clear: Yes, what Ballard did was absolutely and without doubt stupid. But it's a stupid action that's commonly done in frustration and accepted as the norm in the NHL.
But it's easy to be almighty and righteous and pile on Ballard — Hey, who'd be stupid enough to smack his own goalie, right? It's also unfair.
I was especially bothered by Barry Melrose hammering Ballard on ESPN. Barry's a longtime hockey guy. He should know better.
As Ballard's teammate Bryan Allen said after Monday's game, Allen's done it before. It could have been him. It could have been anybody. It could have been one of Melrose's players when he coached the Kings and Lightning. Would he have been so outraged then and thrown his player under the bus? Then again, maybe he would.
This is the same guy who walked out on his Lightning team just before the start of practice down here in South Florida and walked back to the team hotel while they practiced by themselves. A few days later he was fired. Ballard, unlike Melrose, has the respect of players on his team.
Why pick on Melrose? Because he works for ESPN, and in the U.S., it doesn't get any bigger than that in sports. Everyone who watches highlights saw the Ballard-Tomas Vokoun incident. Many of them don't know hockey, don't know Ballard, don't know that what he did in frustration is too often dangerously done.
So they watch the analyst, Melrose, and believe Ballard is a buffoon, when he's far from it — a smart, witty, genuine guy who cares about his teammates as much as anyone.
How about instead of hammering Ballard, we shift the conversation to how to eliminate stick smashing, or at least decrease the number of times it happens? How about we debate whether the league could/should do something to deter it, like dole out a two-minute unsportsmanlike penalty and/or fine?
Yeah, Ballard messed up royally — in front of all of North America. But he no doubt made some players think twice about smashing their stick in frustration again.

I`m screaming from my window
Like you`re the street below
I`m waiting, Oh I`m waiting
I`ve waited oh so long
Can`t we just lay on my roof
And watch the stars above our heads
This plan is oh so full-proof
`Cause you`ll be mine once again
Oh you`ll be mine once again x2
Second day hurts more than the first one
I can`t pretend anymore
The nights are feeling so long
And I am all alone
Oh you`ll be mine once again x4
I can`t believe this
I won`t believe this
Seconds of waiting
You have been waiting
Now you are leaving
No I won`t believe this
Oh I won`t believe this x3

Sad Passings...
The WWHA Family is sad to report the passing of two contributors to Wild West history.
J. P. Garrett lost his battle with cancer on December 30, 2015. J. P. should be remembered not only as the grandson of Pat Garrett but as a man who loved the history of the West. Many of you met him at our Roundup in Ruidoso, New Mexico. J. P. was very likable and easy to get to know. Our condolences go to his wife Star and the rest of his family.
Carol Mitchell passed away recently in Arizona. Carol was a researcher and writer who focused on Sadie Earp. Roger Jay, who wrote an article for the WWHA Journal, referenced Carol in his article about Sadie. Many know Carol from her attendance at WOLA and NOLA. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out.
Both of these fine people, who dedicated much of their time to western history, will be missed.
Happy Trails, J.P. and Carol

Last year, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-B) made a huge push into the booming Excess/Surplus insurance market. Not only did Warren Buffett's company steal away some key players from its competitors, but it gained some serious market share at the same time.
This year is looking like it may have started strong for the firm's newest division with a big contest drawing in millions of Americans to participate in its latest specialty policy.
Nobody's perfect
In January, Quicken Loans, the nation's second biggest mortgage lender, announced a $1 billion bracket challenge for the upcoming NCAA March Madness tournament, which Berkshire Hathaway would be backing. Essentially, Berkshire was insuring Quicken against the event that it would have to pay out the billion to a winner.
Alas, no perfect brackets remained after Day 2 of the tournament (thanks, Duke!), but 20 winners took home $100,000 for their nearly perfect brackets.
While the challenge was essentially a marketing ploy for Quicken Loans, the insurer was able get some positive coverage for its new excess/surplus division. Though most people think about Buffett and his investment team when Berkshire Hathaway comes up, the contest was a big reminder that the Omaha-based firm is a major competitor in the insurance industry.
What is excess/surplus?
The new division, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance, was developed in 2013 by Buffett and Ajit Jain to take advantage of a booming market that has only a handful of major players. Excess/surplus is a specialized segment of the insurance market that deals with incredibly niche customer needs to combat risk, some examples include:
- High-hazard: earthquake insurance in California
- Emerging markets: cyber-security insurance
- Niche market: body part insurance (like a quarterback's arm)
- Other ones out there: insurance for contests
While that is not a complete list, you can see how varied and specialized the risks are for excess/surplus customers. Because of the varied nature of the coverage, there tend to be fewer regulations and limitations for this type of insurance product versus the traditional offerings allowing insurers to set higher -- though risk-appropriate -- prices.
Excess/surplus insurance is fertile ground for potential profits, making it clear why Buffett wanted to be a bigger presence in the market so badly.
Going gangbusters
Though BHSI didn't start underwriting new policies until the year was half over, Berkshire Hathaway gained some serious ground in those last few months of 2013.
With a 38% increase in new business, BHSI helped Berkshire jump five spots on the list of top 30 excess/surplus insurers -- this was the biggest gain the survey from SNL Financial saw for the year. The jump in new business helped boost Buffett's brainchild to the 2.05% mark for total market share.
The two dark blue slices in the pie above are important: the smaller slice wedged in the group of little players is Berkshire Hathaway's 2.05% share. The huge blue slice, which represents 17.6% of the total market, belongs to American International Group (NYSE: AIG).
Monster in the market
The colossal hold on excess/surplus market share allows AIG to completely dominate the space. And when you're on top, you often become the target for various strategic tactics from the little guys.
Last year's push from Berkshire Hathaway to get BSHI rolling included the not-so-subtle poaching of four top executives from AIG. One of the defecting executives, Peter Eastwood, is now leading the new Berkshire division and was personally praised by Buffett in the company's most recent shareholder letter -- something he doesn't often do.
It makes sense that Buffett wanted the top talent he could get to run BHSI, so it should be no surprise that he turned his eyes toward AIG's top producers. And so far, it looks like Buffett's strategy has really paid off.
Besides the inclusion of some very experienced executive players, the fragmentation of the excess/surplus market is another big reasons BHSI why was able to gain so much ground in so little time. Only a handful of insurers hold 3% or more of the market, with Berkshire Hathaway right on their tail.
As you saw in the chart above, BHSI is in good company with the smaller E/S providers, but Buffett's prediction that the division will be bringing in billions in the coming year would certainly push it into the elite group of market dominators.
Definitely not understated
Though insurance may not be the most exciting thing in the world of finance, the creative way Berkshire Hathaway introduced its newest division to the nation made a big impression -- almost as big as the impression made by the segment's gains in the market in just six months.
With BHSI, Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway have given the insurance operations another big boost toward higher profitability. Though the business is still relatively young, investors should expect to hear more good things about BHSI in the years to come.
Warren Buffett's next big push may pay off for you, too
Imagine a company that rents a very specific and valuable piece of machinery for $41,000... per hour (that's almost as much as the average American makes in a year!). And Warren Buffett is so confident in this company's can't-live-without-it business model, he just loaded up on 8.8 million shares. An exclusive, brand-new Motley Fool report reveals the company we're calling OPEC's Worst Nightmare.

Importance of retirement benefits in compensation
August 02, 1999
In the construction industry, employees receive more of their compensation in the form of retirement and savings benefits than in any other industry.
[Chart data—TXT]
Retirement benefits represented 4.9 percent of the compensation per hour of full-time employees in construction in March 1999. In comparison, full-time private industry workers earned 3.2 percent of their compensation in retirement benefits on average.
Workers in transportation and public utilities had the second highest percentage of compensation received as retirement benefits—4.5 percent. In the four other industries shown in the chart, the proportion was about the same as or below the average for all industries.
These data are a product of the BLS Employment Cost Trends program. Additional information is available from "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, March 1999," news release USDL 99-173.

The Detroit Red Wings announced on Thursday the cancellation of their annual prospect tournament at Traverse City's Centre Ice Arena.
The tournament had been scheduled to begin on September 14, but with labor negotiations between the NHL and the NHLPA threatening to trigger a lockout on September 15, the decision was made to cancel the event.
"The Red Wings, the staff at Centre Ice Arena and the countless volunteers throughout the Traverse City area have worked hand-in-hand to develop one of the most popular and professionally operated prospects tournaments in all of hockey," Detroit general manager Ken Holland said in a statement.
"Due to the uncertainty surrounding the collective bargaining agreement and the advance commitments required from the various parties including hotels, airlines, teams, players and their families, etc. we have determined that it is in everyone's best interest to cancel this year's tournament."
The Red Wings were to be joined by the Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers.
The tournament is expected to return next season.
Detroit's main camp, scheduled to begin on September 22, remains scheduled at this time.

College Hockey:Defending National Champion Boston College Preseason Coaches' Pick in Hockey East
Eagles Receive Six of 10 First-Place Votes to Begin Title Defense
BOSTON — Defending national champion Boston College was selected as the pre-season favorite to win Hockey East this season, that according to the annual coaches poll that was released on Monday at the leagues media day.
The Eagles, which recorded 86 points and six first-place votes, looks to defend both its Hockey East and National Championships in an attempt to make it to the NCAA title game for the sixth time this decade. The Eagles return Joe Whitney and Ben Smith, the second and third leading Hockey East scorers, respectively. In addition, 2008-09 captains Brock Bradford, Tim Filangieri, and Benn Ferriero will lead the team in its attempt for back-to-back National Championships. In net, sophomore John Muse, is coming off one of the best freshman showings of all time with a record of 25-11-8 during his rookie season.
Boston University, which earned 80 points and three first-place tallies, retains the leagues tenth best scorer in sophomore standout Colin Wilson. Wilson was drafted seventh overall by Nashville in this years NHL draft and is already on the Hobey Baker watch. Alongside Wilson, senior Chris Higgins (14g, 18a) and sophomore Nick Bonino (16g, 13a) will help drive this high-powered offense. Senior co-captain Matt Gilroy, as well as juniors Brian Strait and Eric Gryba and sophomores Kevin Shattenkirk and Colby Cohen sure up the Terrier blueline. The Terriers welcome two new goalies to the squad in Grant Rollehiser and Kieran Millan.
The UNH Wildcats were picked third in the poll with one first-place vote, after the team went 19-5-3 en route to the leagues regular season title in 07-08. The Wildcats will have to fill the shoes of four departed All-Americans, which included Player of the Year Kevin Regan. The hole between the pipes will be filled by junior goalie Brian Foster. The Wildcats offensive lineup for the 2008-09 season will be led by sophomore James vanRiemsdyk, UNHs leading returning scorer, and classmate Danny Dries, who will also look to live up to his stellar freshman season when he tallied 28 points.
Brad Theissen will return between the pipes to try and lead a young Northeastern team, fourth in the poll, to crack the top half of the conference. The offense will be headed up by senior captain and 2007-08 team MVP, Joe Vitale. Vitale was the number ten scorer in Hockey East and led the Huskies with 35 points (12g, 13a). Coach Greg Cronin will look to capitalize on the experience of his team, returning 27 players from the 2007-08 roster.
Last year marked the first season Vermont, ranked fifth this year by the coaches, made it to the semifinals since their entry into Hockey East in 2005-06. The Catamounts made it to the title game, where they lost to the Eagles. Offense should not be a problem for the Catamounts, though, as they hold onto their top three scorers, namely senior captain Dean Strong, along with Colin Vock and Viktor Stalberg.
UMass, sixth in the poll, will open its season at Ice Breaker against Michigan State and North Dakota at Agganis Arena. Captains Cory Quirk, and Brett Watson will play key roles in leading UMass offense. Sophomore Paul Dainton will need to show the confidence that he had in the first half of his freshman campaign in his second season with a 2.56 GAA and a .911 save percentage.
Blaise MacDonalds UMass-Lowell River Hawks, ranked seventh by the coaches, return 23 players from their 2007-08 roster, including team offensive leader and team MVP, junior winger Kory Falite. Falite enjoyed a standout sophomore season, leading the team in goals (18) and overall points (32). Last season, Carter Hutton and Nevin Hamilton split the time between the pipes, earning 2.48 and 2.56 GAA, respectively.
Providence junior Chris Mannix will try to step in as the quality netminder that Providence, ranked eighth, needs with the departure of Tyler Sims. Coming back for his senior season, the Friars second leading scorer, defenseman Matt Taormina, will look to follow up on a solid junior year. Taormina recorded 27 points on nine goals and 18 assists. Up front, Pierce Norton and Kyle Laughlin will try to improve on last years fifth place finish.
The University of Maine, ranked ninth, welcomes ten freshmen to its squad this year, hoping to bring the team back to the Hockey East playoffs. While the Black Bears missed the conference playoffs for the first time since 1998, they ended the season winning five of their last six contests. Maine will look to junior Dave Wilson and freshman Scott Darling in net.
Merrimack, ranked 10th, was glad to have Rob Ricci back last year, as the Ontario native looks to follow up his standout season, which saw him lead the Warriors in assists (21) and points (34). Sophomore Chris Barton was second in points among Merrimack forwards, notching 19 (6g, 13a) on the year. Junior Andrew Braithwaite looks to continue his successful stretch that spanned the final 18 games of the season.

Some planned surgeries and treatments requiring blood will be put off until stocks are restored.
"It is not a good situation to be in but we have to make do ... until the situation changes," she said.
Raju said national blood stocks should be at a five day supply but donations have fallen off due to the holiday.
"People are on holiday and now some will be busy with getting their children ready for the new school year, so blood donation is not high on the list of things to do, resulting in low levels," Raju told the paper. – Sapa

"Post-ABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama's approval rating falls
Charles Dharapak/AP - President Obama's approval rating fell to 41 percent, down from 46 percent through the first three months of the year and the lowest of his presidency in Washington Post-ABC News polls.
By Dan Balz and Peyton M. Craighill, Published: April 29 | Updated: Monday, April 28, 11:59 PM
Democrats face serious obstacles as they look to the November elections, with President Obama's approval rating at a new low and a majority of voters saying they prefer a Congress in Republican hands to check the president's agenda, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Obama's approval rating fell to 41 percent, down from 46 percent through the first three months of the year and the lowest of his presidency in Post-ABC News polls. Just 42 percent approve of his handling of the economy, 37 percent approve of how he is handling the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and 34 percent approve of his handling of the situation involving Ukraine and Russia."
1. Congress is dysfunctional, and what will improve that?
Functional government does not require that Congress be of the same majority as the President, but since the Republican Party has gone extreme right wing, it is not a party of collaboration and consensus building. The President's management performance is in question, but not so much his policies. That means, Americans would do better by producing a more Democratic Congress with fewer Republicans.
Tripwire and the Government Technology Research Alliance (GTRA), have released the results of a survey which found that 43 percent of Federal IT security and compliance employees consider poor governance and the dysfunctional Congress "the biggest security threat we face.
The jointly sponsored online survey evaluated the attitudes and responses of 111 security and compliance professionals from U.S. government agencies and contractors.
"Cybersecurity continues to be one of the top priorities of senior executives in the federal government," said Ron Ross, fellow at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
"Studies, such as this one, bring together important data points that help decision makers assess trends and take part in an ongoing dialog that will help us craft effective solutions to our difficult and challenging cybersecurity problems.""
2. The President is performing deficiently, what will improve that?
President Obama will not address his fundamental management flaws because they are caused by lack of CEO experience and education that he did not have before being elected to President. The lesson is that president's don't recover for mistakes in qualifications. The way to offset that is to surround him with a Congress that will mitigate and moderate his deficiencies. That does not mean that voters should give to him a hostile Congress, but it means they should elect a workable one.
3. If Hillary Clinton is a presidential candidate with propensity to win, what should a Clinton Congress look like?
"Should Hillary Want Democrats to Lose the Senate?
By David Weigel
On Twitter, where most good ideas come from these days, I suggested that someone (not me) adapt to the current conventional wisdom that Democrats will lose the Senate by arguing that this would be good for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. To my surprise, the idea had early takers."
4. If Jeb Bush is a presidential candidate with a possibility to win, what should a Bush Congress look like?
All of the indications are that Jeb Bush would prefer to be a moderate Republican, governing from the middle. Florida gave to him that opportunity where he was a successful governor. He is having trouble getting traction with conservatives in his party and that may help him get traction with voters in the middle of the nation who might swing from the ranks of independents and Democrats. He must get the nomination first, and Reince Priebus must convince his party to produce an electable candidate. Jeb Bush probably wouldn't want a Congress that is too conservative as that would be as much of a barrier to him as a more liberal Congress.

Nov. 29, 2010
DEKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois University football team made it a perfect 10 as defensive end Jake Coffman (German Valley, Ill./Forreston) earned Mid-American Conference West Division Defensive Player of the Week Monday after turning in his best performance of the season in NIU's 71-3 win over Eastern Michigan.
Coffman's selection marks the 10th-straight week a Huskie has garnered MAC West POTW this season, dating back to the Illinois game, and it is the second such honor for Coffman this year.
Coffman finished with five solo tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble as he led the way for Northern Illinois over the Eagles. Coffman set the tone early as on the second play of Eastern Michigan's second series, he sacked quarterback Alex Gillett for a loss of eight yards, causing a fumble which was recovered by Northern Illinois' Sean Progar at the Eagle 22 yard line. Two plays later, the Huskies' scored to go ahead 13-0.
Coffman and the Huskie defense held Eastern Michigan to 160 yards on 64 offensive plays for an average of 2.5 yards per play. In addition, Eastern Michigan's 11 passing yards was a season low.
The senior defensive end is the third Huskie to earn multiple MAC Player of the Week honors in 2010. Quarterback Chandler Harnish earned MAC West Offensive Player of the Week accolades three times this season. Jimmie Ward was named MAC West Specialist of the Week twice this season, both times after blocking punts. Linebacker Tyrone Clark, punter Josh Wilber and tailback Chad Spann are the other Huskies to earn weekly honors this year.
Northern Illinois travels to Detroit, Mich. to take on Miami (OH) in the 2010 Marathon MAC Championship game Friday, Dec. 3 at Ford Field. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. and the game can be seen on ESPN2. Fans can also listen to the game on the radio on the Huskies' flagship station, 1360 AM WLBK and in Chicago on The Score 670 AM as well as on WTJK ESPN 1380 AM in Janesville, Wis. which covers the Rockford market.
For the third straight season, Northern Illinois has qualified for postseason play. Fans can reserve tickets for any of the five MAC-affiliated bowl games that NIU could play in on the 2010 Football Postseason Central page at NIUHuskies.com. Fans will not be charged for those ticket reservations unless NIU accepts an invitation to the bowl for which the tickets are reserved. Tickets can be reserved for any or all five MAC bowls. There is also information available regarding the 2010 Marathon Mid-American Conference Championship Game on the official website of Huskie Athletics.

'Toy Story 4' Won't Be a Continuation of 'Toy Story 3'
Posted on Thursday, March 5th, 2015 by Angie Han
Toy Story 3 felt like such a perfect capper to Woody and Buzz's journey that we couldn't help but wonder why Pixar felt the need to retread old territory with the upcoming Toy Story 4. But it turns out that's not what Pixar has in mind at all.
In a new interview, studio president Jim Morris reveals that the next film will take things in a very different direction, which may or may not be continued in future installments. More on the new Toy Story 4 details after the jump. Read More »

The Social Security Administration confirmed that a employee of the Disability Determination Department had been reprimanded for "creating a hostile work environment," because of gas passing.
Several issues appear to need to be addressed, one is that apparently the A federal agency's employees monitored and compiled a list of the employee passing gas, over a period of several days. The Smoking Gun's website published the original reprimand letter which was dated December 10th. The employee was said to be engaging in, "conduct unbecoming a federal employee" and "creating a hostile work environment" because of the repeated gas passing.
The letter went on to say coworkers did not want to work with the employee because of the gas.
It appears that the office which has a duty related to disability awareness may not be fully aware of significant medical conditions which may cause flatulence. In the specific incident, the reprimanded employee indicated the problem was related to lactose intolerance. However, it should be noted that rather severe health problems such as Celiac Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome along with other digestive disorders, can cause abnormal gas.
Do you think the employees that took a good deal of time to keep track of and compile incidents of flatulence by their coworker should be reprimanded?

Feeding Babies & Obesity
March 1, 2007
Studies are showing that 60% of overweight babies grow up to be overweight children and adults. It's been shown that breastfeeding protects against obesity. But just as important, is what happens when the baby begins solids. Dr. Mom is serving up the facts on the importance of giving our children a healthy start.
There is a tremendous problem today with childhood obesity in the United States. The prevalence of obesity in the last 20 years: in 2-5 year olds the prevalence has doubled; in 6-11 year olds, and 12-19 year olds, the prevalence has tripled. What you feed your infant today may lead to obesity later in life.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends starting infants on solid foods, such as rice cereal, between 4 and 6 months of age. After introducing rice cereal into your infant's diet, then you can move on to vegetables. It is important not to add cereal to your baby's bottle unless your physician instructs you to do so. Adding cereal to bottles can make babies overweight and can make it difficult for newborns and young infants to digest their milk.
It is important that the first food an infant tastes is nutritious. The more a child tastes a particular food, the greater liking they will develop for it. You may need to expose your child to a particular vegetable/food 10-15 times before your child will develop a liking for it. For this reason, it is important to keep sweets out of your child's diet.
Also, fruit juices should not be given to babies younger than six months old. Even when your baby is older, keep fruit juices to a minimum, no more than 8 ounces per day. Too much juice can fill a baby up, promote obesity, and can put a baby at an increased risk for cavities when teeth start coming in.
So, how do you get your child to eat and enjoy foods like squash, carrots, green beans?
Studies have shown that eating healthy while you are pregnant can help your child enjoy these foods during their infancy. Also, eating vegetables while nursing can help your infant's acceptance of vegetables once they are ready for solid foods.
Parents play a key role in helping their children develop a liking to a wide variety of foods. If parents eat healthy, children will eat healthy.Helpful websites:

Hey everybody. I'm currently in the market for my first gun, and have spent a lot of time reading up reviews, watching Youtube videos, etc. I've narrowed down my search to three guns within my price-point (originally I had the Diamondbacks in there, but those are apparently really unreliable!) and was hoping to get some feedback from people who have actually had the chance to handle these guns in person, as my local gun store carries none of them.
Ideally, I'm looking for something for concealed carry, but I also want to feel comfortable taking it to a range to practice my marksmanship without destroying my hand. I've read some arguments regarding calibers and how much the 9mm costs versus the 380, but I don't think I'll be in a range often enough to worry expense. So, gun experts, any idea which provides a smoother firing experience? Is one better suited for a beginner like myself? And are they all good for concealment?
Thanks guys!

Meet Your Calcium Quota
In May 2007, a study of 10,000 premenopausal women found that those who consumed 1,370 milligrams of calcium or more a day had a 40 percent lower risk for breast cancer than those who ingested 620 milligrams or less. And those who consumed a daily dose of at least 550 IU of vitamin D (which helps the body absorb calcium) had a 35 percent lower risk than those who consumed 160 IU. The vitamin intakes in the study were higher than current USDA recommended daily amounts (1,000 milligrams and 400 IU, respectively), so which number is right? "We will need to do a clinical trial to determine the optimum amount for breast health," says study author Jennifer Lin, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. For now, hit the USDA quota, adding supplements if you can't get it all from food. Even if it turns out that calcium doesn't affect your breast cancer risk, you'll make your bones stronger.
Choose the Right Technology
Typically, the breast tissue of premenopausal women is denser than younger women's, which can make it more difficult to get a clear mammography image. "Because of that, there may be a small advantage for women at this age to get a digital mammogram rather than the traditional type," Saslow says. If your ob-gyn says you would benefit from this technology, the next step is to find a nearby center with the right equipment. This may be easy in urban areas and near teaching hospitals but harder in small cities and rural areas. One way to find locations is to check the equipment manufacturers' Web sites: GE Healthcare (gehealthcare.com), Hologic (hologic.com), Siemens AG Medical Solutions (medical.siemens.com) and Fujifilm Medical Systems (fujimed.com). "If you don't have access to a digital machine or if your insurance won't cover it, you should still get an annual screening with a traditional machine," Saslow says. Pairing an ultrasound exam with a conventional mammogram is another option. Having both tests increased the number of tumor findings in women with dense breasts, according to a May 2008 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The downside: It also substantially upped the number of false positives (findings of something suspicious that later turned out to be normal).
Keep Hormones in Check
The more estrogen and progesterone your body is exposed to over your lifetime, the greater your risk for breast cancer. Hormone therapy and excess weight may increase your risk; breastfeeding, on the other hand, reduces it. But even if you take hormones and didn't breastfeed (or never had children), there is still much that you can do to mitigate your risk. "Keep your weight steady, and get regular physical activity," advises Giske Ursin, MD, PhD, associate professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern California. "Both have been shown to reduce hormone levels."

Brave New World
by Aldous Huxley
Brave New World Chapter 13 Summary
- At work, Henry Foster invites Lenina to a feely.
- When she refuses the invitation, he's eager to know who she's having sex with instead of him (he puts it a little more delicately than that). Not because he's jealous, but because it's fun to know who is sleeping with whom.
- Lenina responds that she's not going out with anyone else that night. Foster hopes she's not ill and suggests that perhaps she needs a Violent Passion Surrogate.
- Lenina tells him to shut up. She gets so flustered that she blunders her lab work. She isn't sure whether or not she's given one particular bottle its vaccination for sleeping sickness. She decides not to risk dosing it a second time and moves to the next.
- "Twenty-two years, eight months, and four days" later, a young Alpha-Minus in Tanzania will die of sleeping sickness—the first case in fifty years.
- Later, in the Changing Room, Fanny can't believe that Lenina would be so worked up over one man (that would be John).
- Lenina responds that she's tried "dozens" of other men to get over him, but it's not working. The girl needs some John-love now.
- Fanny suggests that she just go over there and rape John.
- We're not kidding. She says to "take him" "whether he wants it or no."
- They finally conclude that Lenina should throw herself brazenly at the man, although she has to take half a gram of soma to give herself the courage.
- So John is sitting around, the picture of innocent virginity, waiting for Helmholtz to come over so they can talk about his burning (and also very virginal) love for Lenina, when the woman in question shows up.
- Lenina marches right in. John mumbles around about how he's trying to do something worthy of her. On the Reservation, he explains, they used to kill mountain lions with their bare hands, and other stuff in that vein, but since there aren't any mountain lions around London, he thought that maybe he could do something else, like clean her carpet.
- Lenina explains that there are vacuum cleaners for such purposes. Besides, she wants sex with him now, worthy or not.
- Finally he just tells her that he loves her and then starts talking about marriage, which totally freaks out Lenina. Even worse, he quotes some Shakespeare (The Tempest) about how you shouldn't go breaking any virgin knots before marriage. The idea of "knots" further confuses Lenina, who isn't one for metaphors.
- She grabs John's wrist and asks if he loves her. When he says yes, Lenina, in a frenzy of S&M and religious symbolism, "[drives] her sharp nails into the skin of his wrist." She says if she didn't like John so much, she'd be furious with him (presumably for getting her all hot and bothered like this).
- Then she throws herself at him. While they are making out, John can't help but remember the feely Three Weeks in a Helicopter.
- John protests, and Lenina un-plasters herself from his body. He thinks she got the message, that is, until she starts stripping.
- John awkwardly stands around and quotes some more Shakespeare while Lenina takes off her panties.
- Anyway, they're not called panties in the civilized world; they're "zippicamiknicks." All of her clothing, we note, has zippers (all the easier for taking off).
- John is just about paralyzed by the time Lenina gets her (naked) arms around him while singing a sexy, hypnotizing ditty.
- He resorts to the only action left to him: grabbing her by the wrist, forcibly tearing her off him, and calling her an "impudent strumpet" (a Shakespearean term for "whore," although he also calls her that directly, lest there be any ambiguity).
- Lenina runs to the bathroom, but not before taking a slap from John. She quickly locks herself in behind the closed door.
- Outside the bathroom door, John spews some more Shakespeare —this time, lines from King Lear about how birds and insects have sex shamelessly in front of man's eyes.
- But then he just goes back to calling her a whore, via Othello.
- Lenina calls out that it would be kind of nice if maybe he could hand over her clothes. John tries to open the door to do so, but she refuses. Instead, she tells him to push them through the ventilator.
- While Lenina dresses in the bathroom and wonders how long this ridiculous scene is going to continue, John paces up and down the room, still calling her a whore, until the phone rings.
- We only hear one side of the conversation, but it becomes clear that "she" is ill (we're thinking John's mother), so he rushes out.
- Lenina realizes that it's now safe to leave the bathroom, but she's still flustered.
People who Shmooped this also Shmooped...

Fans of "Grey's Anatomy" are sad to see Sandra Oh move on from the show after 10 seasons. It is now time for viewers to see how she leaves and spoilers are coming out. On Wednesday, Wet Paint shared big spoilers about how this will all go down next week.
Kunal Kumar was a guest star on the series. He went to his Instagram page and shared a huge spoiler from a picture of the script. After it was put up, he was smart enough to realize to make his page private but it was too late. That picture was already all over the Internet.
One thing that Cristina says in the script was leaked. It is, "My phone is dead. Oh, and I need a European charger. And I need more luggage." It sounds like she has plans to head to Europe, but you never know if she will actually make it there or if the script was changed since this picture was shared.
The script also shows that she tells Owen, "Now I have to go to the stupid mall. I'll see you later." She also kisses him on the way out but they have been very on again and off again recently. Sandra Oh is also the one doing the voice over on the finale of this season.
IB Times shared that the big finale will have an explosion on it. It is called "Shaken Not Stirred." An act of terrorism will hit the hospital and of course it is easy to assume there will be casualties. It is one of those situations where it is not safe to be near the hospital. This means it is very possible they could decide to kill of Cristina Yang instead of letting her run off into the sunset to a new dream job.
Don't miss the newest episode on April 24 at 8 p.m. CST in the Oklahoma City area. This will be the road to the end of season 10 but more importantly it is the end of Sandra Oh as Christina Yang. Shonda Rhimes always does a great job of ending the season.
