If 2012 is the year when the independent expenditure groups known as Super PACs went mainstream, it could also be the year when an imperfect tool—the bilateral candidate pledge—emerged as a way to limit their power.
This week, Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, a Republican, and his likely Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren have signed a pledge aimed at curtailing the influence of the outside money groups on their race for the Senate.
The so-called "People's Pledge," was first proposed by Brown last week and Warren accepted it on January 23. According to the Boston Globe, some of the groups—mostly those supporting Warren's candidacy—are promising to comply, at least for now.
The pledge is quite similar to one publicly proposed two weeks earlier by Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) to his one-time colleague and current opponent, Rep. Howard Berman (D-Van Nuys).
On January 5, speaking at the first debate between candidates running in California's new 30th congressional district, Sherman proposed that he and Berman promise to donate to the U.S. Treasury an amount of money equivalent to any expenditures made by Super PACs on behalf of their respective campaigns.
The Brown-Warren pledge is slightly different—the candidates are committing their campaigns to donate only half as much as is spent by any outside group, and the donations are to go to a charity of the opposing candidate's choosing, not to the U.S Treasury.
But the intended effect is exactly the same.
Brown called the agreement "a great victory for the people of Massachusetts," but the move to limit, if not eliminate, the impact outside groups can have on the campaign appears to be a way for Brown to take away an advantage from Warren, who has been the beneficiary of more Super PAC-bought advertising, so far. According to the Globe, groups backing Warren have outspent those backing Brown 3-to-1.
Warren, who is probably best known as the architect of the new U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, called the agreement "historic," supporting it even though it would apparently work against groups supporting her candidacy.
"oth campaigns will need to remain vigilant to ensure that outside groups do not try to circumvent what is an historic agreement," Warren told the Globe in a statement. "This can give Massachusetts voters a clear choice come Election Day."
The Berman v. Sherman race presents a remarkably parallel situation. Berman, who is reportedly being supported by three separate Super PACs, has said that he supports a constitutional amendment that would eliminate the groups.
But that was all Berman said at the debate in Woodland Hills earlier this month, and Sherman made frequent reference to his Super PAC pledge as a way to attack his opponent.
In an interview, Berman's campaign manager, Gene Smith, told me that Berman doesn't have any intention of signing Sherman's pledge. Coordination between candidates and Super PACs is explicitly prohibited, she said, so the pledge could actually end up harming the candidate's own efforts to get out his message.
"We have absolutely no information about who these PACs are, what their plans are, what they're going to do," Smith said on Friday, January 20. " So to commit resources that we have raised and for which we have a plan and a strategy against resources that we have no clue about and no control over is silly."
Sherman, meanwhile, would appear to have much to gain from his pledge because as of now, nobody knows of any outside groups supporting his candidacy.
Phil Trounstine, writing on the Callbuzz blog, presented Sherman's strategic thinking this way:
Hoping to turn Berman's strength into a weakness, Sherman, with obvious guidance from campaign pro Parke Skelton, is trying to make an issue of the evil super PACS by challenging Berman to refund whatever money they spend on his behalf to the U.S. Treasury. (Good luck with that, Brad.)
It's clear that, for politicians like Warren and Berman who oppose the existence of Super PACs—even though they are being supported by Super PACs—the outside money groups present a particular conundrum.
Which leaves us with two questions:
1. Could the agreement between Brown and Warren—assuming it lasts—strengthen Sherman's hand in pushing for an anti-Super PAC pledge?
2. Could a pledge like this work at the national level? Both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have said that they oppose the existence of Super PACs (although both reportedly supported the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision that gave rise to the groups). It seems unlikely that either Romney or Gingrich would propose such a pledge—but what about President Obama? He is reportedly no fan of Priorities USA Action, an outside group that is supporting his reelection effort. But Democrats involved in his campaign effort see Super PACs, which can accept unlimited individual and corporate contributions, as a necessary evil.
"We can't unilaterally disarm," former South Carolina Democratic Chairman and Obama national finance committee member Dick Harpootlian told Politico.
But what about bilateral disarmament? Could Obama propose a pledge akin to the one proposed by Sherman and enacted by Brown and Warren?

Contests are common on Facebook, yet it is easy to fall for one that is not legitimate. While many are the real deal, it's important to be on the lookout for those that are not affiliated with the cruise line or travel company they claim to be. Most ask you to like and share a photo, and some will ask you to follow a link to continue the entry process. It is also typical for the contest rules to state that winners will be contacted through Facebook private messaging.
There are several reasons to be concerned about these contests. At a minimum, the page owners will obtain your name and, depending upon your privacy settings, your location and other personal information. The potential for abuse is serious should the owners of the page request additional information through private messaging or other means if you are deemed a winner. Even if you do not receive a private message, the page owner could gain access to your profile photo and list of friends, enabling them to create a phony profile page in your name.
So, how do you protect yourself? There are several aspects of some pages that are dead giveaways that the page may not be legitimate. Look for these before you click.
1. The page is not Facebook-verified: To check if a page is official, look for a checkmark, usually white on a blue circle, next to the name on the company page. A contest on an official page is generally OK, whereas a page that has not been verified should be avoided.
2. You are asked to share the contest on your timeline: This is prohibited by Facebook rules on contests, and should be an immediate tip-off that something is not right.
3. Grammatical errors: Read the text closely as errors in grammar are red flags. While you're at it, look for spelling errors. A quick way to check is to copy the text into a Word document and perform a spelling and grammar test. This is not foolproof, yet it is a start.
4. Variation of official company name: This one is not easy to spot, so vigilance is a must. Some examples of real company names are Carnival Cruise Lines (not "Line"), Disney Cruise Line (not "Lines"), and Holland America Line (not "American"). When in doubt, conduct a search on Facebook for the cruise line and look for the checkmark that indicates that the page has been verified as authentic by Facebook. Authentic pages will show the real company name.
5. Extra characters in company name: Often, a non-legitimate page will put a period at the end of the company name in the page's title. Authentic company pages do not do this, just as Facebook users do not, typically, put a period after their own names on their profile pages.
6. The page is a community page: Look for this on the page under the name of the company. Even if the community page links to the official cruise line page, a community page is not necessarily affiliated with the cruise line.
7. Type of business is not travel-related: One recent page shows the supposed cruise line as being part of the utility industry; another is listed as a consulting business.
8. The number of page likes seems low: Think about it—a company in an industry that attracts millions of customers should have a significant number of Facebook followers, or likes. For example, the official Carnival Cruise Lines' Facebook page has, of this writing, 2.6 million likes. One recently developed contest page has just 10 thousand.
9. Date of page creation or earliest post is recent: In most cases, the questionable page would have been created within the past month. Legitimate companies do not start new pages for their contests; they keep them on the official company page instead.
10. Short time frame for responding: Most contests that contain a sense of urgency are not legitimate. A contest that has a deadline mentioned in hours, not weeks, is likely one to avoid.
What do you do if you come across a page that you think may be unaffiliated with the cruise line? First, do not give them any information, not even a like or a share. Second, Facebook gives users a way to report the page: On the far right, just above the number of likes, is a triangular-shaped button that will open a drop-down menu on which "report this page" is one of the options. Finally, contact the cruise line to verify the legitimacy of the contest page. If the page is unaffiliated, they have the greatest power to ask Facebook to remove it.

Eagle of the Watch is a new common white creature card from Wizards of the Coast's expert "Magic: The Gathering" expansion set "Journey Into Nyx."
Eagle of the Watch - 2W
Creature - Bird (Common)
Flying, vigilance
"Even from miles away, I could see our eagles circling. That's when I gave the command to pick up the pace. I knew we were needed at home."
-Kanlos, Akroan captain
Featured in the "Pantheon's Power" Intro Pack, Eagle of the Watch can easily rule the skies for the early part of a game. Eagle of the Watch arguably more powerful in limited where its evasion of flying and vigilance allow it to pull double duty as both a great threat and vital blocker (although it won't survive combat without help from another card). With a low toughness of one, Eagle of the Watch is quite susceptible to burn or damage caused by abilities of permanents like an opponent's Doomwake Giant.
Abusing Eagle of the Watch will rely upon beefing it up with bestow creatures, getting an Archetype of Courage onto the battlefield, or attaching a fancy piece of equipment such as Godsend onto it.
While Eagle of the Watch may not be that impressive in a constructed it can help make up the backbone of a limited deck should you be running white.
How will you use Eagle of the Watch?

Given that there are already monthly subscription services for reading ebooks (similar to Netflix, etc. for movies and TV shows), it is not surprising that Amazon has just announced Kindle Unlimited with unlimited access to a library of over 600,000 titles for readers in the U.S. (Audio books are also available in this subscription service.)
I first learned of this from an email to authors explaining that all books enrolled in KDP Select with U.S. rights are automatically included in Kindle Unlimited. Then I went to the home page of Amazon.com to watch the very brief video about this new service being offered for $9.99 a month with a free 30-day trial.
Watching the video and checking out the Kindle Unlimited page on Amazon, I was confused. Many very popular books are being offered, and these books cannot be on KDP Select. This is because an author who has a book on KDP Select for a 90-day period is committed to that ebook only being sold on Amazon for that period.
In other words, although all KDP Select books are automatically enrolled, more than just KDP Select books appear to be available on this subscription service. Thus I'm assuming Amazon made deals with major book publishers to include their books.
For KDP Select authors there is an interesting caveat to being included and earning money each time someone downloads their books: There is no fund payment unless the person reads more than 10% of the book. (If a reader gets 10% into a book a second time, there is no additional payment.)
This is different from a payout that KDP Select authors get when their books are downloaded as part of the Kindle Owner's Lending Library (KOLL) with over 500,000 titles — available in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France and Japan for Amazon Prime customers.
In the case of a book being borrowed, the author gets paid simply for the download regardless of whether the book is read. (Note that Amazon Prime members only get one free ebook download a month. For big ebook readers, an unlimited monthly subscription may be a much better deal.)
Another difference is that books borrowed from KOLL can only be read on Kindle devices, while books read via Kindle Unlimited can supposedly be read on any device.

text: If you are one of those people who insists that they are not creative, then stop it right now. Everyone is creative. Creativity is the essence of being human, the ability to outwardly express inner thoughts and emotions. It's not just about being creative, but trying to improve creativity that already exists. It starts with the question, how much do you exercise and nurture your creative nature? Short Version Maintain a healthy diet and exercise plan Put limits on how much entertainment you consume Let your mind wander occasionally and give it breaks Always be learning Set the right atmosphere Just do it Nothing improves without attention, except maybe a weed garden. You exercise your limbs to make them stronger, you do cardio to strengthen your heart and lungs, you might even go onto that website that says it will exercise your brain (although the claims there are in doubt). Creativity can be trained, strengthened, and improved as well, but it takes effort to improve creativity, like any worthwhile endeavor does. So what exactly can you do to bring out that creative person inside you or take your creativity to the next level (or overcome that creative block)? Read on to find out. Get Healthy The evidence of the mind-body connection has really been piling up over the last few years. More and more scientists are finding ways in which exercising and being physically fit demonstrably improves brain function. We've always known that the mind affects the body, now we know the opposite is true as well. Even your posture can affect your mood. If you sit working in one place for too long you'll get burned out quicker than if you take breaks. You should try to stand up and walk around for five or ten minutes every hour to keep your mind fresh while you are working. Good physical health promotes positive thinking, and poor health does the opposite. Despite the stereotype of the starving, tortured, black sheep artist who is the creative genius, science reveals that positive thinking stimulates creativity much more than negative thinking. Have you noticed that somehow the solution to almost every problem we have as humans is to eat well and exercise? Take the time to get into the nitty gritty of how your body and mind react to being healthy versus not being healthy, it will blow your mind. The fact that people generally discard this advice as a real solution demonstrates the instant gratification society we have become. The best fixes don't come in a pill. Limit Your Entertainment I'm not going to preach at you about the evils of television and movies and video games. I'm not going to tell you to cancel the cable or throw out your television. However, limiting your entertainment time is a really good idea. Of course there's the standard reasons for this like being more productive with time, but when it comes to improving creativity it's more specific. Although it may go against what you would naturally think, drowning yourself in entertainment input does not promote a creative spark – it makes it less likely. Entertainment is a passive activity, but creativity is active. Entertainment is taking, while creativity is giving. If you spend all your time taking in, you don't have any left for putting out (that's what she said). Instead of channel surfing for the next cool show you haven't seen, why not turn it off and go write a better show instead? Don't Get Too Focused Creativity is stifled by too much focus (a great example of how our educational system teaches us to behave in ridiculous ways). Sitting and concentrating hard on a problem turns out to be the least efficient process for accomplishing the task. In addition, caffeine can also turn the knob down on creativity. This makes sense, since caffeine's job is to increase your ability to focus. When you are looking for a creative solution to a problem or just trying to create something, allowing your mind to wander is one of the best things you can do. Don't try to reign your thoughts back in, let them go in whatever direction they take you. You don't want to focus too much when you are thinking creatively. This goes back to taking breaks and moving around as well. Leaving your work area during your breaks allows your mind to wander to different things. The mind has an amazing ability to pull pieces of data from all sorts of disparate areas, join them together and come up with creative solutions from them. This can only happen if you give your brain the freedom and rest to do so. Something Old, Something New Even though there are questions as to whether or not "brain games" and sites like Lumosity.com can increase your brain function, there is no doubt that learning is always a good thing. The more you learn, the more you'll know. The more you know, the more resources you have at your disposal to apply to different situations. The more toys your wandering mind has to play with can help deliver a creative solution or an idea. You should take the something old, something new approach to continued learning, this is a great way to improve creativity. Learn something new about things you already know about and build up your knowledge of it. At the same time, pick something new to learn and get busy with it. Try to always be learning something new, it will expand your creative thinking. Adjust the Mood Everyone is different. People get inspiration from different places, crowds, and even positions. More than one famous writer reported that they couldn't think unless they were lying down. Of course a lot of creatives have used, um, mood-enhancing substances to boost their creativity. Scientifically speaking, however, they don't have an advantage. We should have a definitive answer to this question soon as we wait to see whether Colorado and Washington will emerge as the creative hubs of the U.S. Noise levels can make a big difference as well. Studies show the hum of a coffee shop is a great noise level for productivity, and Coffitivity took that study and built a web tool out of it which plays recordings of coffee shops. Enjoy that when you work. Too much silence isn't good for a productive setting, but it can be okay for creative thinking. Make It Happen Just like anything else in life, creativity can be boosted by a good old kick in the butt. Decide you'll be creative for a few hours and then just go do something. Build something, make something, write something. Anything but watch TV, listen to music, or play videogames. Go write a poem or a short story. Don't think about it, don't critique it, just write it. Or write a song. Or paint a picture, or a house. Just make sure that you are actively creating something during that set time frame. The very act of trying to create something will go a long way in developing and improving your creativity. There are no measureable ways to objectively test or observe creativity, and perhaps this is what makes it one of our most human traits. Creativity will always be a subjective area, but that doesn't mean that you can't, or shouldn't, try to develop it. Creative Checklist Good diet and exercise are a must Find a comfortable space where you can let your mind wander Place limits on yourself for passive entertainment time Learn something new everyday, and make it a point to always keep learning Keep plugging away even when you feel blocked Try new things regularly From Around the Web: Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Notify me of follow-up comments by email.

PBS Distribution offers a summer escape that no one wants.
And everyone remembers.
Escape From a Nazi Death Camp is a docu-drama about the insurrection at Sobibor, a Nazi death camp created solely for mass extermination. Using firsthand accounts and dramatic sequences, the film returns to Sobibor with the last remaining survivors to reveal their extraordinary story of courage, desperation and determination.Through the compelling accounts of Thomas "Toivi" Blatt, Philip Bialowitz, Selma Engel-Wijnberg and former Russian POW Semjon Rosenfled, the true horror of life in Sobibor emerges. Unlike Auschwitz and Dachau, Sobibor was created purely for extermination. Within 17 months, a quarter of a million people arrived at the camp and were put to death almost immediately. A "lucky" few men and women were plucked from the crowds to work as prisoners in the camp as bakers, tailors, metalworkers and carpenters. However, being selected for this work meant only that one's life was on loan. No one was supposed to leave Sobibor alive.
The idea to escape began in spring 1943, when prisoners began to hear rumors that Sobibor might be shut down. In June, a note discovered in the coat pocket of a recently exterminated prisoner revealed that when the Belzec death camp was closed, all its prisoners were put to death. Determined that they would not meet the same fate, the Sobibor inmates formed a secret "escape committee."
Led by Leon Feldhendler, former head of the Zolkiewka ghetto, and Russian POW Lieutenant Alexander "Sasha" Pechersky, the underground prisoners agreed to a large-scale organized escape. Dramatic re-creations transport viewers to the afternoon of October 14, 1943, as the prisoners' audacious plot unfolds. In key locations around the camp, the program tracks the action minute-by-minute–from the first Nazi killed in the storeroom to the perilous job of severing the phone wires. By the end of the day, after two hours of covert action, more than a dozen Nazi and Ukrainian guards were killed and more than 300 prisoners escaped.
"Although Sobibor represents a devastating aspect of the Third Reich and its reign of terror, it is important to remember the determination and courage of the prisoners to escape," said Simon Young, executive producer, DSP. "Every facet of this multi-layered story unfolds like a Hollywood blockbuster–from the last-minute change of the escape plan to the systematic ensnaring of camp guards–yet every terrible and inspiring moment is absolutely true."

Immigration family plan is working: Kenney
News conference. During a press congerence yesterday at the Delta Meadowvale Hotel & Conference Centre, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announces that the federal government will accept 25,000 parents and grandparents under its family reunification plan.

The federal government's scheme to reunify families faster is working, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said yesterday in Mississauga.
"We listened to Canadians who told us the old program with eight-year wait times just didn't work," Kenney told a press conference at the Delta Meadowvale Hotel & Conference Centre.
"We expect to reunite up to 35,000 parents and grandparents with their families next year," the minister said. "This is a significant achievement and the highest number in nearly two decades."
The Conservative government's plan for reunifying families, tabled last week, will see 25,000 parents and grandparents admitted to Canada for the second year in a row. That's a 60 per cent jump since 2010, Kenney said.
The backlog of applications from Canadians seeking to bring their parents and/or grandparents to this country was about 165,000 when the Conservatives took office, the minister said. That number will have been reduced by about 20 per cent by the end of the year, he said.
A new "super visa" program that allows parents and grandparents to visit Canada for up to two years at a time has also proven very popular, Kenney said. Since it started in November 2011, more than 10,000 super visas have been issued.
You have Canadian families torn apart by being forced to move across country to be able to have a job to survive and yet the government is not doing a thing to reunite these families!!! You have to wonder why they won't pay to reunite these Canadian families! The government of Canada has more respect for the newcomers than for the people that have lived and paid taxes all of their lives in this great country!! Most Canadians don't have the money to visit all over the country to see their relatives!!! So you have to wonder don't you!!!!
But they wouldn't need to be re-united if they had stayed in their country-of-origin. Maybe a condition of immigration should be that a "newcomer" waives all rights to family re-unification. I mean this could go on forever especially since some third world countries have very large extended families and I'm sure verification is very difficult if not impossible.
Absolutely sickening. So apparently our publicly funded health care system is so under used that we need to import more people to take advantage of it. Heck, who cares about Canadians who have worked here all of their lives and have paid taxes for our health care?
If mommy and daddy and auntie and uncle and granny and grampa and all your kissin' cousins are so darned important, maybe you shouldn't have left them in the first place.
As Cheryl notes below, it's been nearly traditional for Canadians to move about the country. But no one ever cared about that.

I was delighted when the Supreme Court case District of Columbia v Heller was decided in favor of the individual's right to keep and bear arms. I understood how that decision could be decided 5-4 by the nine justices. What boggles my mind is that given the decision of the Heller case, the McDonald v Chicago case wasn't decided 9-0. Stare Decisis, Latin for "to stand by that which is decided" is the legal principal that once a case is decided, the logic and decision of that case will be used in the future to decide cases that bear on the same principles of law. To me, Heller was a landmark decision and McDonald should have been decided in a few hours, a slam dunk.
Instead, Justices Stevens, Sotomayor, Bader-Ginsberg and Breyer tried to argue that a right in the constitution only binds the states if it is an indispensable attribute of ANY civilized legal system. They used international examples of societies where they don't have guns as examples of civil society, hoping to prove that the right to keep and bear arms wasn't integral to civil society and therefore not enforceable on the individual states of America. Justice Breyer has in the past suggested that the Supreme Court should look to international law for guidance in cases. Nope. We are a sovereign country with our own laws and our own history. As Justice Thomas said in his opinion, we can find examples among civil societies where the presumption of innocence doesn't exist. Should we therefore delete that from our laws? American judges decide our court cases based on our founding documents, our laws and our history.
Several of the arguments put forward in the minority opinion, such as the international law reality check, were put forward in the Heller case. They were beaten in Heller and DC v Heller became the law of the land. The same arguments should not have been brought up again in McDonald because they were settled. I fear that the allegiance to Stare Decisis among judicial activists only extends to those cases that they like. If Justice Kennedy had swung the other way on McDonald, the Heller case's precedent would have lasted a whole two years.
The opponents also sought to assert that there isn't a consensus about the right to keep and bear arms among the 50 states and thus it should be carefully considered before being enforced across the board. Page 47 of the McDonald decision states "An amicus brief submitted by 58 Members of the Senate and 251 Members of the House of Representatives urges us to hold that the right to keep and bear arms is fundamental." Later on the same page we are told that another brief submitted by 38 States takes the same position. I also believe that the Court is correct to describe the Second Amendment as "fundamental" to the American scheme of ordered liberty. As Justice Clarence Thomas put it, "Rather, the right to keep and bear arms is enforceable against the States because it is a privilege of American citizenship recognized by §1 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which provides, inter alia: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States."
Thankfully, the reasoning in Heller carried the day in McDonald v Chicago and the anti-gun crowd can look forward to many more cases of a similar nature across the country.

I had hoped this would be telling everyone what a great kitty I am, because I am. However, last night I was stretched out with my grandma (I live with my grandma) and apparently I was sleeping and dreaming. Grandma put her hand on me and I BIT her.
I BIT my grandma. And I love her. I am always the most loving little girl. It was horrible. Grandma got up and I had bit through the joint on her little finger. She could hear my teeth going in.
By the time I woke up, I did not understand what was going on. I was sitting on the bed waiting for her to come back and play with me.
Grandma is not mad at me. She knows I did not do it on purpose, but it is not good anyway. My grandma is 84 and I am with her because I am such a sweet kitty like Lady Liza was.
Mom calls in the mornings to check on us and usually it is the same story. I got up, ate, played and am laying on grandma's lap. This was a real shocker.
And I am such a good kitty.

Sunday Feb 10th: SMOG with Youngsta, Icicle, Deco and Mesck
The SMOG crew is kicking 2013 off in fine style with the continuation of their SMOG Sunday Sessions event. After hosting N-Type in January, SMOG Sundays returns with a lineup that's sure to please any discerning listener of dubstep that veers toward the more minimal, deeper, darker side of things.
The legendary RinseFM DJ and Tempa Records A&R man Youngsta is finally returning to the United States for a tour! It's been many years since he was on the road in North America and I think we're all glad to see him make his way back to our hemisphere. Also along for the ride is his close collaborator Icicle, widely regarded as one of the best producers / engineers operating in the minimal dubstep world who also holds close affiliation to D&B label Shogun Audio.
Lastly, Deceast is on the lineup representing the American / Los Angeles take on the deep dubstep style. Mesck and I will be going B2B (our first ever tag team set) and we've got so much fresh, unheard, unreleased material to share that there's no way we'll be able to fit it all in to our set.
It's all going down Sunday Feb 10th at The Echoplex in Los Angeles. Here are some more details + ticket link:
18+ // Doors at 10PM

Here we go again ITS THE OUT OF TOWN OWNERS FAULT
August 18, 2013 | 09:29 AM
To Retired Businessman: What is this thing all the residents of this have against out of town owners? Let me tell you there are plenty of year round permanent owners in this area that keep poorly maintained homes. The only real area's that look good are from the lake back say 6 blocks north. From there there are many homes with junk standing around, Homes in need of repainting, Lawns that need work and these people are here every day, week, month and year. Anyway these out of town owners pay their taxes just like all the permanent residents and probably do so in many cases more regularly than others. How many permanent residents are going to be tickled pink to pay for raises on their tax bills? I'll tell you how many 0 that is zero, nada, none, zilch. Don't lay this all on the out of town owners. There are plenty of cheap people around here. Also maybe if this area would invest in better pay jobs the problem of not enough revenue to pay for this would stop by taking people off county aid and putting them back to work where they could earn a living and not just an existence. Minimum wage jobs are fine for teenagers not adults who need to pay rent/mortgages, utilities, insurance, food, clothes, etc. Many business owners make a ton of money off of minimum wage employees by working them to death with no benefits. Many I call this countries version of sweat shops. Many of our countries businesses today are taking advantage of people who desperately needed work. They know people are desperate for work and now all you find are minimum wage. Why is that? I'll tell you why it is because of greed. They need the work done, people need jobs.But that is off track
Give it a rest

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- January 25, 2002 -- State Auto Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:STFC) today announced loss reserve adjustments during the fourth quarter 2001 on claims of the former Meridian Mutual Insurance Company (Meridian) occurring prior to October 1, 2001.
Such adjustments are expected to result in an increase in incurred losses in the range of $30 million to $33 million.
The fourth quarter adjustments are expected to add 14.5 to 16.0 loss ratio points to STFC's combined ratio for the fourth quarter of 2001. The increase in reserves is expected to reduce fourth quarter and year-end after tax earnings per basic share by $0.50 to $0.55.
"As reported in the third quarter, we became aware that Meridian case reserve estimates were deficient, based on State Auto's reserving practices. Subsequently, it became apparent that the magnitude of the deficiency was greater than first appeared. As a result, our Indianapolis-based associates accelerated their efforts to ensure that we completed the re-reserving process prior to year end 2001," stated STFC Chairman and CEO Robert H. Moone. "We believe that we have completed the difficult work necessary to permit us to feel comfortable that case reserves are now adequate and consistent throughout the combined companies, which will allow us to fairly assess the performance of the companies going forward."
State Auto Financial Corporation is a regional property and casualty insurance holding company engaged primarily in writing personal and commercial automobile, homeowners, commercial multi-peril, workers' compensation and fire insurance. The company currently markets its products through more than 22,000 agents associated with approximately 3,800 agencies in 26 states. Products are marketed primarily in the Midwest and Eastern United States, excluding New York, New Jersey and the New England states.

Whether you call them deck piers, caissons, footings, or something else, as far as the International Building Code is concerned they are all essentially the same: isolated foundation systems that have to transfer loads imposed from above to the earth below. Being isolated means they don't gain lateral stability from connection to the rest of the system (the adjacent piers). In other words, each performs alone and relies only on the surrounding soil for stability. Deck loads are usually minimal, so in deck foundation design, there are only a few things to consider, and the IRC provides guidance for most of them.
It's fairly simple to determine the bearing area at the bottom of a foundation required to transfer loads to the earth. First, the tributary load on each post must be calculated. This equals the area of the deck that's supported by the post multiplied by the combined design live and dead load (40 psf and 10 psf, in most cases). The area supported by the post is found by dividing in half the joist and beam spans on all sides of the post (Figure 1). For large decks with multiple beam spans, the loading for each post may be significantly different; a center post in a long beam will usually carry twice the load of a corner post. For simplicity, a builder will often make all the piers identical, sized for the largest load.
Figure 1. Determine the tributary area on a footing by measuring half the beam and joist spans on each side of its post. Include all of any cantilever. Multiplying these dimensions provides the square footage of the tributary area, and multiplying the square footage by the design load (typically 50 psf) yields the tributary load.
Once the load supported by each pier is determined, the next item to consider is the soil. The IRC provides a table for the compressive strength of various soil types, but it's not much help unless you know the difference between silty sand and sandy silt (2,000 or 1,500 psf respectively). Expect 1,500 psf to be the default value in most jurisdictions (though I know that many allow more like 3,000 psf for decks). Dividing 1,500 pounds by a design load of 50 psf shows that a 1-square-foot bearing area (size of pier) can easily support 30 square feet of deck. Since most piers aren't square, but rather round, remember you'll need to find the area of a circle (ϖ times the radius squared, or for easier job-site math, approximately three-fourths of the area of a square whose sides are the same length as the circle's diameter).
The IRC requires that all foundations be placed a minimum of 12 inches below grade on undisturbed soil. This depth provides a minimal amount of lateral stability to the foundation, and the requirement for bearing on undisturbed soil provides assurance that the compressive load resistance expected of the soil type can indeed be achieved. Soil that has been removed and replaced, like foundation backfill, cannot be expected to perform as the same soil type in a natural state.
Beyond that minimum depth requirement, there may also be a requirement for frost protection of the foundation, established by the local building department. For freestanding decks, no protection is required; for all others, foundations may need to be as deep as 48 inches, or perhaps even deeper.
There are a few ways that a foundation system for a deck can be constructed and I'll highlight three of them: footing, pier, and pier/footing.
Footing. A footing foundation is relatively simple and is typically used where the footing doesn't need to go below frost depth. This type of foundation is little more than a hole with a blob of concrete filling it (Figure 2). The horizontal area at the bottom of the hole is the bearing area and thus the size of the hole will be based on the load and soil type as previously discussed.
Figure 2. A basic footing is just concrete in a hole that gets backfilled, supporting a post. The concrete must be at least as thick as the greatest distance from the edge of the post to the edge of the footing
The required thickness of the concrete (depth) will depend on the size of the post that will bear on the foundation and the bearing area. The thickness of the footing cannot be less than the greatest horizontal distance from the edge of the post to the edge of the footing. This assures that the 45-degree bearing cone that extends downward from the edge of the post will terminate at the side of the footing, not the bottom.
When a frost depth is required, a footing foundation can still be used at the bottom of the excavation and a preservative-treated wood post can then be placed below grade on top of the footing. Unless uplift resistance is an issue, the soil adjacent the post is usually considered sufficient to resist lateral movement. Otherwise, use of a hardware connection, perhaps coated entirely in waterproofing, can add a little assurance that the post won't shift from the footing.
Pier. Another foundation method for decks is a pier (Figure 3). A pier works just like a footing, but it's a lot taller and extends from the base of the excavation all the way to the top of grade. Unlike footings, pier foundations also generate load resistance from skin friction, the friction between the edges of the pier and the adjacent soil. However, without engineering and piers that are much deeper than those usually used on decks, you cannot take any credit for this resistance using the IRC.
Figure 3. A pier foundation is similar to a basic footing, except it runs to above grade.
When a large bearing area is required, using a pier foundation can result in an unsightly amount of exposed concrete at the surface, not to mention the excessive amount of concrete necessary to fill the hole. A 14-inch-diameter pier 36 inches deep is not fun to pour with bagged concrete mix. Commercial forms are available to cast a belled pier to handle these issues (Figure 4). In stable soils, it may be possible to dig the footing hole in a bell shape, which would save the expense of a special form. For these piers, detailed in the IBC, a maximum 30-degree angle from vertical can be used.
Figure 4. Belled footings are formed either by widening the bottom of the hole as you dig or by using a commercially available form.
Pier/footing. For what is called a pier/footing foundation, the bearing area is excavated to the required depth of the foundation (Figure 5). The form creates a footing of the required size at the bottom, followed by a narrower pier above, which runs to grade. Just as when a post bears on the top of a footing, so must the footing be thick enough to accommodate the 45-degree bearing plane of the pier. For upper-level decks, where the pier is likely exposed in the backyard landscaping, this type of foundation works well. Large loads are supported by what look like very small piers. For decks with a roof covering, this type of foundation also provides some uplift resistance, though it's the job of an engineer to determine how much.
Figure 5. When larger loads dictate a large footing diameter, a pier/footing - a footing of the required thickness topped with a narrower concrete pier - is used instead of a large-diameter concrete column extending to grade.
You don't need to use a special form for a pier/footing. You can pour the footing to its required thickness, set a cardboard form tube on top of the wet concrete, and backfill around the tube as you fill it with concrete. Place only enough earth around the tube and on top of the footing as required to hold down the concrete footing as the weight of the pier increases. Once cured completely, the remainder of the excavation can be backfilled and compacted in 6-inch thicknesses. Too wet a concrete mixture will make this method difficult.
Another method is to pour the footings first and the pier second. Though plain concrete foundations (no rebar) are allowed for deck construction, I recommended using rebar to connect the footing to the pier at the cold seam. By constructing in two pours, placement and compaction of the backfill over the footing is much easier.
Not every deck design needs the same type of foundation. A ground-level deck may look fine with straight piers, which ease digging and pouring. For an upper deck with a landscaped backyard below, a belled pier may be the way to go, providing for larger bearing areas, but without as much concrete in the flowerbeds. Put a roof over that deck and perhaps a pier/footing foundation is a better choice, because it offers more uplift resistance. The roof loads add to the size of the required bearing area, and the projection of the footing under the fill provides for uplift resistance. As long as you are considering all the science behind foundation design, the IRC offers a fair amount of flexibility. It's your choice as the designer to determine what's best for each project.

As Americans prepare to honor the nation's fallen servicemen and women on Memorial Day, law-enforcement officers from ChelanCounty are rounding up reinforcements by way of extra deputies as well as a mobile jail, complete with jailers for their busiest weekend of the year.
ChelanCounty Sheriff's Office is laying out plans for additional patrol from surrounding counties, finding them lodging and a place to gather for meals and meetings.
Sergeant Rob Huddleston, told KOZI that the Chelan senior center has offered their building for deputies to refuel as well as meet throughout the weekend.
In addition to the extra law enforcement, ChelanCounty Sheriff's office is moving in a mobile jail as well as jailers to handle any necessary booking through the weekend.
Huddleston tells us that having the jailers available really keeps the weekend running smoothly.
Last year, 44 arrests were made, and about 150 citations were issued throughout ChelanCounty, over Memorial Day Weekend, county-wide- with a majority of those being in the north county jurisdiction."CLICK HERE" for Audio"CLICK HERE" for Audio

Ajax v City: Paddy Power specials
- 23 October 2012 15:47
- Posted by Mark Booth
Check out ALL Ajax vs Manchester City markets and New Customers can avail of a FREE £20 BET once they stake £10!
Joleon Lescott believes the Blues might have to win all four of the remaining Uefa Champions League group matches if they are to reach the knockout stages.
And City's better partner Paddy Power believe the first of those wins is achievable have priced the English champions at 3/4 to come away with all three points.
Ajax, the Dutch champions, are 7/2 and the draw is priced up at 11/4.
Edin Dzeko is on a decent run of scoring form having scored twice against West Brom at the weekend. He also scored late on a Fulham and gave City the lead in the 3-2 loss to Real Madrid in their opening Group D Champions League fixture. The Bosnian is 9/2 to get the first goal and 6/5 to score at anytime against Ajax.
Robert Mancini opted to rest Sergio Aguero last weekend on his return from international duty but after two games and one goal with Argentina he could well play some part in the game.
Last season's leading scorer in the Premier League is 4/1 together with compatriot Carlos Tevez to get the game's opening goal and even money to score at anytime over 90 minutes.
Mario Balotelli slotted home a 90th minute penalty to earn City a 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium.
But City will want to avoid a repeat against an Ajax side that are propping up the group after a 1-0 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund and a 4-1 home loss to Real Madrid last time.
A 1-1 draw is priced at 13-2 with Paddy Power while it's 33/1 that Balotelli scores in a 1-1 draw in Paddy Power's Scorecast betting.
City have scored in both their Champions League games so far and every Premier League game too and the Blues to nab exactly one goal is 2/1 in the number of team goals market while exactly two goals trades at 9/4.
City can also take heart from Ajax's home record against English clubs in European competition – which reads three losses and one draw in four games.
Paddy Power are offering even money that there are exactly two or three goals scored in the match while four or more goals is trading at 15-8 in the total goals market.

The Trail Blazers have been stressing the importance of consistency in approaching games the right way from the start regardless of the opponent.
While they took care of business early against the Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday, they allowed the Philadelphia 76ers to jump out to a 16-point lead in the first quarter on Saturday.
The Sixers continued to hang around even after the Blazers pushed their lead to nine points in the third quarter and eventually came back in the fourth quarter to beat the Blazers 101-99 at the Moda Center.
With a bad start, it forced the Blazers to call early timeouts to try and get back into the game. They eventually came back, playing much better defense as the game progressed. Unlike most nights, the offense let the Blazers down Saturday.
"We got off to a poor start defensively," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "On the whole it was a good defensive game, but we just couldn't quite get over the hump offensively especially in the fourth quarter."
The Sixers, coming in on a three-game winning streak, continued to play with belief and their league-high pace for the rest of the game.
"They're one of those teams that just keep playing. They never stop," said guard Damian Lillard who scored 17 points.
One game after LaMarcus Aldridge only scored 10 points and the Blazers tied a franchise record for three-pointers, the Blazers went ice cold from beyond the three-point line and needed everything they got from their two-time All-Star.
Aldridge had 29 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks, but it wasn't enough for the Blazers to win.
The Blazers got a lift from Mo Williams, producing off the bench on a night when the Blazers couldn't buy a basket from the perimeter. Williams scored 16 points in 24 minutes off the bench.
The Blazers battled back and regained control of the game toward the end of the second quarter and into the third.
"We had control of the game but they just kept coming and kept coming," Lillard said.
The Sixers, who play at the league's highest pace, furiously came back in the fourth and cut Portland's lead down to two points with 6:26 left in the game, forcing Portland to call a timeout.
But the timeout didn't slow down the Sixers as they went on an 8-0 run, forcing the Blazers to play catch-up.
Thaddeus Young, who came in to averaging 26 points over his last five games, was great once again.
Young had 30 points including a tip-in to put the Sixers ahead by two with 36.2 seconds left.
The Blazers had to play the free-throw game late as they found themselves down by four points with under a minute in the game but were unable to make enough plays to salvage a game they never truly had complete control of.
Lillard went the length of the court for a lay-up with 7.2 seconds left cut the Sixers lead to four as Stotts elected not to call a timeout in case Portland got a steal. And that's exactly what they did.
Robin Lopez got the steal, giving the Blazers a chance to either win the game or send it into overtime with 5.3 seconds left.
The Blazers, down by two had one last chance to send the game into overtime but Lillard's lay-up was just short.
"We got the look that we wanted to get. I was able to get to the rim. I got to make that," he said about his final shot.

Taliaferro County investigators found 120 pounds of marijuana in a car on its way to Augusta. (January 28, 2010 / WRDW-TV)
One of the suspects in a large-scale drug ring, known as the Gulf Cartel, will be going to federal prison. A judge sentenced 71-year-old Rufus Daniel "RD" Curington, Jr., to 15-years in prison.
In July Curington pled guilty to conspiracy to traffic marijuana and possession of firearms. Investigators say Curington, seen here with other suspects shortly after their arrests, was part of group that brought as much as 5-tons of pot into the Panhandle from August 2009, until their arrests in February.
Investigators say the group shipped the drugs from Texas to Washington County, Fl. where they were stored and distributed. Some was sold here in the Panhandle. The rest went to the Jacksonville and Orlando areas.
When authorities carried out the raids on several different locations, they seized more than 27-hundred pounds of pot and 61-weapons. Curington had 3-of those guns and 156-thousand dollars in cash.
Curington is one of the first of the gulf cartel suspects to be sentenced.

ELYRIA — As Scott Mahoney planned the first issue of Lorain County Community College's student newspaper, The Collegian, he thought there were some good stories.
One was on the entire Student Senate quitting. The other was on how deep cuts to Lorain County Transit were going to affect LCCC students, many of whom depend on public transportation to get to class. Then he got word that President Obama was coming to campus — the day before the 10-person staff had to get the bi-weekly issue to the printers.
It's been a heady time for Mahoney, who joined The Collegian last fall as a reporter and was named editor at the end of last semester.
"I first read in The Chronicle that he was coming to Lorain County, and knew that we were a potential site," Mahoney said. "But we didn't know for sure until last week … definitely made this week interesting."
The usual way The Collegian is put together had to go out the window. Instead of having a few days to edit the stories, the staff worked on a far tighter deadline — readying the pages that were written, edited and designed after the president's visit Friday to be delivered to the printer today.
"Feels like a real newspaper," he joked.
That made Friday a very long day for the college students.
Mahoney got up a little before 6 a.m. in order to get from his home in Spencer to the campus by 8 a.m., when he heard he had to be there. After getting there, he was turned away at the media center and told to come back around 11:30. So he spent much of the morning walking the campus, getting material for the stories.
Then there was seeing the president in person.
"It was so surreal, looking over and seeing him right there," he said. "I still haven't come down."
The staff also posted to the paper's Web site — collegian.lorainccc.edu. A few stories were expected to be online by Saturday morning, with the rest to follow.
Mahoney expected to be heading for home — and bed — not long after finishing Friday night. And then he has to start thinking about the next edition, he said.
"It's going to be pretty hard to top this week," he said.

Brotherhood of Shadow installation, missing files?
Does this happen to everyone or is it just me? I've downloaded the mod from 2 different places and each time i install it I get 2 warnings in the end. I checked what the warnings were and it seems to be 2 missing files. Should i just ignore that? The update installs just fine without any warnings.
Could you post what the two missing files were? I haven't installed Brotherhood in a long time and can't remember if I got any errors when I installed it.
Tried it a third time and now it installed without complaining about missing files, odd :)
Having a problem with getting it to work with Tatooine Job Office though (using the compability patch) i get these errors (i have BoSSR installed previously)
• Warning: A file named k_ptat17af_enter.ncs already exists in the Override folder. Skipping file...
• Warning: A file named k_ptat18ac_enter.ncs already exists in the Override folder. Skipping file...
• Warning: A file named n_grodian_comm1.lip already exists in the Override folder. Skipping file...
• Warning: A file named n_grodian_comm2.lip already exists in the Override folder. Skipping file...
• Warning: A file named n_grodian_quel.lip already exists in the Override folder. Skipping file...
maybe it's not a problem? Another thing that, most likely, is a problem though, when installing the patch for BoSRR (from the readme):
"Then you need to navigate to your Kotor 1 Overide folder and find the file
and rename it to
There is no file called k_ptat_17af_enter.ncs in my override folder so this step isnt possible.
Would be really cool to be able to run both of those mods, so i'm very thankful for any help.
The two "k_ptat" files are definitely going to cause problems. The last 3 are just LIP files, only affect lip synching and are probably the same files.
If the TSLPatcher says k_ptat_17af_enter.ncs is already in the override then it has to be in there... try looking through the folder manually and after that, if you can't find it, use the search function.
Ah, seems like the search function was messed up (like usual in Windows7), it didnt find anything in the folder (or on my entire computer, tried that too). But i just looked for it manually now and it's actually there.. Been having a lot of problems with the search in Win7.
"the installer for the Job Office will skip the necessary BOS files." (from the job office patch readme) so it's probably ok that it doesnt overwrite the two "k_ptat" files..
Oh okay, so long as you follow that readme you should be good.

With advances in technology, there is more and more information out there relevant to your auto case. Some of the following may help you build your case or undermine your opponent's:
Sun Pass. Based on the tolls paid, you can find out where a vehicle was on the day it was involved in the accident.
Cell records: Was the driver on the phone at the time of the accident? Who was he talking to? After the accident, whom did he call? He may have made admissions about the accident.
Text messages and e-mails: Instead of calling someone, the driver may have been sending a text message or an e-mail. Being on the phone is distracting. Typing on your phone is so much more distracting.
Traffic reports: Reports reflecting lane closures or accidents may give an indication of the flow of traffic at the time of an auto accident. The traffic conditions may make a claim of a speeding vehicle preposterous.
Video footage: There may be footage of the accident, particularly if it happened during rush hour, where the traffic helicopter may have caught your accident on video.
Black box. Some vehicles have "black boxes" that preserve information at the time of the accident, such as the speed of the vehicle. The parties can enter into an agreement to secure the black boxes from the vehicles involved in the accident and have them analyzed by mutually agreed upon experts.
Aerial shots: An aerial shot of the accident scene may prove helpful. Google Earth is a good source for such a photograph.
GPS. Were the drivers using GPS, such as Garmin or Magellan? Were they using an online service like Onstar? There may be information about the driver's route.
The police report is a good start when investigating a car accident case, but it is only a start. There are so many other avenues to pursue when investigating who caused the accident.

Identifying cell phone activity is often a great way to identify a person's location or attempted "covert communications." While getting historical information from cell phone companies can often prove challenging, and cell phone forensics is still evolving, a great source of historical information can be found in the backup files that are often created when handheld devices are synced to a computer. Text messages, map searches, Internet History, call history are some of the potentially recoverable materials from back up files.

Litchfield Hills' link to Spain
Sometimes a ride can provide a history lesson. It was shortly after going through an unlocked gate on to private property and proceeding cautiously down the heavily-rutted, puddle-filled dirt road in Morris that I learned of the road's past. The sloppy half-mile track, which caused my back tire to fish-tail without warning because of the mud, was actually a long-abandoned railroad bed. It was part of a 32-mile line between Hawleyville and Litchfield used by the Shepaug, Litchfield and Northern Railroad in the late 1800s.

Spotlight on a new Stud & Equestrian facility in Balnagowan, Mackay
In little over a year since arriving in Australia, Chrystle and Joao (aka John) Campeao have established a growing top quality equestrian facility in Balnagowan, called Champion C Stud.
Let's face it, relocating to a new country requires a huge amount of energy on it's own without the additional task of setting up a comprehensive equestrian business & facility providing full care agistment & spelling, riding lessons, and a breeding programme plus breaking & training, all of this requires knowledge, experience and a whole heap of energy.
We believe that Chrystle & Johns' efforts will be welcomed in the area, as it is clear that they do have a high level of passion and commitment.
Read on as Chrystle explains exactly what's happening at Champion C Stud & Equestrian Centre.
We have 90 acres here at The Meadows. We offer Spelling for race horses, agistment, riding lessons, breaking in, training of horses and breeding. We also have schooled horses for sale and we offer Equissage for horses.
We offer all our clients, individual paddocks with good shelters and hopefully peace of mind. All the shelters have rubber around the bottom, colour bond around the top and insulated roofs for the hot climate. We have a 20m sand round yard and a 20x40m, fenced sand arena. We supply and are in charge of all feeding at the centre, we clean and maintain paddocks and check and clean waters daily.
Currently we have 47 horses on the farm. Between ourselves and our business partner, Mr Andrew McDonald we have 20 thoroughbred broodmares, 10 of which are in foal this year and should start foaling in August 2011. The other 10 mares will be going into foal this season. All of our mares are bred for racing and we hope that some of our foals will be sold at the yearling sales and some kept to race. We are lucky enough to have met a fantastic trainer here in Mackay, Mr John Manzelmann who we do a lot of work with and who will hopefully start some of our young horses when the time comes. We have already broken in a few horses that should have their first starts in the near future.
My husband, Joao Campeao aka John, is an international Portuguese rider, needless to say he is Portugese. We lived in Portugal where my husband rode for a Lusitano breeder, selling horses to Spain, France and Germany. He also has a family farm just outside Lisbon where we still have a few Lusitano mares breeding. He also played internationally in a game called Horseball, which is just starting up in Tamworth here in Australia for the first time. They are really doing a fantastic job down there. It is a very big game in Europe and is extremely exciting to watch, we hope that we can also help get this sport going in Australia and hopefully Mackay will be able to get a team together to compete against the guys from down south soon.
We have only been in Australia just over a year and we are trying to get our centre up and running. Thankfully we have been very busy since we started. I myself have always had and ridden thoroughbreds. Born and raised in Zimbabwe. I successfully competed for many years in Showjumping. We hope to get more people interested in and riding Thouroughbreds. It is shocking how many horses come off the track and have nowhere to go. There are so many good horses that just need re-educating and hopefully if we can get some reschooled we can get them good homes. We have found that a lot of people here in Mackay have a very negative look at thoroughbreds for riding and hopefully we can help change that a little and get more people riding and competeing on TB's.
We would really like to help boost the riding and competing scene here in Mackay and we hope that our centre will help get more people into riding. We aim to have one place where everyone in Mackay can get together and enjoy all things horsey! Whether you are a dressage rider, showjumper, pleasure rider, camp drafter, reiner etc. Somewhere where all Equine lovers can enjoy each others company and hopefully learn from each other.

Gallacher Joins UMass Hockey Program
Aug 26, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - Ben Gallacher, a 5-11, 185-pound defenseman from Calgary, Alberta, has joined the UMass hockey program, head coach John Micheletto announced on Monday. Gallacher, a 2010 draft pick of the Florida Panthers, spent 2011-12 at Ohio State and will be a sophomore in 2013-14, eligible to play immediately for the Minutemen.
"Ben can add an offensive element to our back end, particularly in his ability to defend, take pucks away and get us moving north in transition and then jumping and joining into the play," said Micheletto. "He's also been a significant contributor in special teams situations everywhere he's been along the way. He's a proven winner as shown in his time in Camrose prior to going to college, as well as being a silver medal winner in the World Junior A Championships for Team West. We look forward to Ben who is an exciting player and is certainly going to add to the offensive production we establish off of our back end."
Gallacher saw action in 42 games with the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL in 2012-13 and contributed 19 points on four goals and 15 assists with a +2 rating. Two of his four tallies came on the power play, while two were game winners, as well.
While at Ohio State, Gallacher led all CCHA freshmen defensemen in scoring with 12 points (1g, 11a) over 24 games. He was selected by the Florida Panthers in the fourth round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft (No. 93 overall) during his three-year stint (2008-11) with the Camrose Kodiaks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL).
Gallacher saw action in 114 career games and amassed 59 points on 12 goals and 47 assists in his time with the Kodiaks. In 2011-10, he helped Camrose reach the Enerflex Cup League finals after posting 27 points (5g, 22a) during the regular season and contributed eight points (3g, 5a) over 18 games during the squad's playoff run.
In 2009-10 with Camrose, Gallacher appeared in 34 games and totaled 22 points (3g, 19a) en route to AJHL South Division All-Star honors. During his first season with the Kodiaks he had four goals and six assists over 43 contests.
Gallacher played for Canada West in the 2010 World Junior A Championship and registered a goal and an assist in five games. He won a silver medal at the World Junior A Challenge in 2009.

How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Really Cost?
From Engineering on September 23, 2011 in Bathroom Remodel
In the world of food, a great chef is distinguished from all of the average chefs by their ability to prep beforehand. This is called mis en placeeverything in its placeand requires careful forethought to produce a smooth gastronomical project and end result. The same is true for a bathroom remodel. The success lies in the planning and budgeting.
Budgeting and planning can be a trial of patience. You want to get started, you want to see that new bathroom finished, like, yesterday. But such thinking is only asking for a sub-par job and minimal satisfaction. And how does your bathroom remodel fit into the flow and financial plan of your overall home. Not to mention the question of what you are wanting out of your new bathroom.
Compare costs for the best price
The great news is that you can get the bathroom of your dreams, and it doesnt have to cost an arm and a legor your sanity. The market today offers a huge range of fixtures and finishes to help you get what you want. Such a technical remodel requires professional help at some point, so start looking for a contractor (check out the licensed pros near you). In the meantime: compare pricing. The best way to do so is by clicking here.
Create a lookbook
Research and brainstorm everything in your head. Search through our Bathroom Ideas pictures, check out local home improvement trade shows. Find your all-star contractor. Create a wish list, complete with every detail of function and aesthetics you want. Then, take those dreams and enter into reality, checking manufacturers for availability and cost. When you do meet with a contractor, you will be prepared with your dream and a plan of action.
Yes, this is the time you want to be judgmental. Once you're ready for estimates from professionals, you should already have the overall budget and estimated costs figured out. You will then be prepared not only to negotiate, but to sound the alarm if one contractor quotes a project at $15,000 when others claim they can accomplish the same job for half the cost. Choosing your materials beforehand will give you a hard number to work around, keeping a $20,000 project from turning unduly into a $45,000 project.
Be flexible
Once you have an estimate, a contract, and a hard financial goal line, you also need to be sure that you're keeping the overage within reason. A splurge here and there, or an investment that will save you money in the long run, is different than completely throwing that budget out the window in the process. On the other hand, be prepared for the unexpected costs that inevitably arise in remodeling. Plan ahead to add a 30-percent cushion to your budget. The good news is that fall is typically the season for affordable small bathroom renovations, so the sooner you get started, the better.
Average bath remodel costs
Brian Johnson, principal at Collaborative Design Architects, says that a bathroom remodel using a licensed professional designer and contractor can cost $175 to $225 per square foot on the low end. I tell clients if you add a bathroom, its $8,000thats where we start, he says. The DIY-er, of course, can spend more like $75 per square foot. Photos via Houzz

Recap | Box Score
Head Coach Mitch GaspardOpening statement:"We got another really good start from Tucker (Hawley). Offensively we came alive yesterday and we were able to put that together again today and put a lot of pressure on them throughout the day. Inserting both James and Jeremiah Tullidge has really sparked the bottom of the lineup and obviously Andrew Miller had a really big weekend. We got a lot of production in the bottom half, and that's what we talked about early in the week. If the bottom got going, it's going to roll over to the top of the lineup where those three guys have been really consistent for us."On the contributions on the Tullidge brothers:"I thought what they brought to the table was their energy and both of them are really good competitors. James made some really good plays defensively and Jeremiah executed when we had some bunts on. What they brought to the table was energy and competitive fire, and I thought our team needed that and the bottom of the order needed that."On the performance of Andrew Miller for the weekend:"That's what you have to have. Every weekend you have to have your consistent players to play consistent, then you need someone to step up and have a big weekend. Miller was the guy this weekend that really rose up for us and really had some big at-bats. I thought the hit yesterday really is what got the monkey off our back and got us going in the right direction."

Last night while fans across the country were tuning in to see Olympian Ryan Lochte on E's Fashion Police, he was hitting the Vegas streets celebrating his 28th birthday. The swimming icon also made a stop at XS, Vegas provocative new Nightclub at Encore. Lochte headed to the club's Sunday Night Swim party with relay partner Cullen Jones. While the club was filled with thousands of fans splashing away under the desert sky, the sexy swimmer opted to stay on dry land, hanging out in the DJ booth with the headlining Manufactured Superstars. The Olympian sported black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt with the American flag. He clearly loved posing for photos with groups of sexy ladies and stayed at the party late into the morning.
The sexy Olympian was not the only one showing up at the Wynn Las Vegas hot spot this weekend.
Saturday night, Prince Harry was spotted at XS nightclub with several of his closest friends. The group enjoyed their evening seated near the outdoor pool on a daybed. As DJ Porter Robinson spun from the stage, the group danced and sipped on cocktails until the early hours of the morning. Prince Harry was on the West Coast due to a charity event in San Diego but made a quick stop in Las Vegas.
