|Andrew Shaw comes to Montreal-Boston rivalry as Habs shuffle centers
|06.24.16 at 7:35 pm ET
BUFFALO — Bruins fans likely remember Andrew Shaw's feistiness from the 2013 Stanley Cup Final. Now they'll be seeing a lot more of him.
After American center Auston Matthews went first overall to the Maple Leafs, commissioner Gary Bettman announced some whacky stuff from the Canadiens.
Montreal traded center Lars Eller to the Capitals for second round picks in the 2017 and 2018 drafts. The more notable (and perhaps head-scratching) move was that they send their own second-rounder this year and a second-rounder from Minnesota to the Blackhawks for the rights Shaw, a restricted free agent.
Shaw is reportedly seeking "at least" $4.5 million annually despite being a bottom-sixer who realistically is good for around 30-35 points a year. Last season, Shaw scored 14 goals and added 20 assists for 34 points. Here is a comparison of Eller, whom the Habs gave up, and Shaw, per Own the Puck.
|Three questions for Bruins fans heading into the draft
|06.24.16 at 1:19 pm ET
BUFFALO — With the draft now hours away, all is quiet on the Bruins' front. As we learned a year ago, that doesn't mean that some absolutely bonkers stuff is out of the question. So, crazy season about to begin in the NHL, here are three questions for Bruins fans:
|What stats say about Bruins' potential trade targets
|06.24.16 at 11:34 am ET
BUFFALO — Don Sweeney is trying to trade for a defenseman. There's also a pretty good chance he's trying to trade a defenseman, as he said Thursday that he has had discussions with teams about moving current roster players for draft picks.
To put on our speculation caps, the question of whom Sweeney might be interested in trading would seem obvious enough. If he can move Dennis Seidenberg's contract (two more years at a $4 million cap hit) for anything, he should (and likely would) do it. Adam McQuaid (three more years at $2.75 million annually) is also a player the team should consider moving given the redundancy presented by this offseason's signing of fellow third-pairing righty Kevan Miller.
The more important question is whom the Bruins might target as far as acquiring a big-name defenseman goes, and two names that have picked up steam throughout the league in trade talks are Kevin Shattenkirk and Cam Fowler. Shattenkirk is 27 with one more year on his contract ($4.25 million cap hit) before becoming an unrestricted free agent and Fowler is 24 with two more years left at $4 million against the cap before reaching UFA status.
Both players are top-four guys, though neither should be mistaken for a No. 1 defenseman. Shattenkirk is a righty, while Fowler is a lefty. At the NHL level at least, the Bruins' bigger need is for a left-shot defenseman (they often can play both sides; righties typically can't play the left side), thought needs could change if the Bruins were to deal one of their current D. Here's an Own The Puck breakdown of each player's attributes:
|Milan Lucic open to reuniting with Peter Chiarelli with Oilers
|06.23.16 at 8:29 pm ET
BUFFALO — With Milan Lucic headed for free agency, one potential fit that's been thrown around is the Oilers. Why? Because there's a guy who works there who already has experience paying Lucic a lot of money.
So would Lucic, who spent last season with the Kings but could not come to terms on an extension, be interested in reuniting with Peter Chiarelli in Edmonton?
"I'm open to them," Lucic told WEEI.com Thursday. "Open to all my options heading into July 1."
Lucic, who spent the first eight years of his career in Boston, was traded to the Kings prior to last year's draft in exchange for the 13th overall pick, Martin Jones and Colin Miller. He had 20 goals and 35 assists for 55 points over 81 games in his lone season in Los Angeles.
|Free agency looks likely for Loui Eriksson; Bruins to take 'one more stab at it'
|06.23.16 at 7:52 pm ET
BUFFALO — Don Sweeney has long been hopeful that he and super agent J.P. Barry would be able to bridge the gap and get a new contract done for veteran right wing Loui Eriksson.
With two days left until Eriksson will be free to interview with other teams and over a week until he'll become an unrestricted free agent, Sweeney didn't appear to be in a very hopeful state.
"It may not happen," Sweeney said of an extension.
"I'm going to have a conversation again with J.P. and see if things have changed and take one more stab at it to see if he thinks the internal landscape is as green as we think it is as opposed to what the outside may look like," Sweeney said. "Obviously he's on the cusp of maybe exploring things."
Term has long been a stumbling block between the two sides. The Bruins have been unwilling to go beyond four years on a contract for Eriksson, who will turn 31 next month.
In other free agency news, the Bruins will not bring back Jonas Gustavsson. Zach Trotman will go to market, while the team has had contact with Lee Stempniak and John-Michael Liles.
|Peter Chiarelli puts idea of getting a No. 1 defenseman in perspective
|06.23.16 at 3:19 pm ET
BUFFALO — In rewatching Edmonton president of hockey operations Peter Chiarelli's availability with reporters from Thursday morning, it was hard not to notice a point he made regarding his own team's issues that applies to the Bruins.
A reporter asked Chiarelli about trading for a No. 1 defenseman. Chiarelli shed light on such a pursuit by noting something that fans in every market probably don't consider often enough.
"Over the years, we've had discussions with teams I've been with, like, how many true No. 1 D are there? Maybe there's 12," Chiarelli said. "So there's 30 teams and there's 12 No. 1 D, so to think that you're going to get a No. 1 D, it's tough."
While one of Chiarelli's biggest blunders in Boston involved losing a top-pairing defenseman (Johnny Boychuk), the point he raises is correct. Look around the league. Keith Yandle isn't a No. 1 defenseman and just god paid $6.35 million annually on a seven-year deal. Alex Goligoski isn't a No. 1 (on a good team, anyway) and he got $5.45 million a year over five years. Kevin Shattenkirk, a top-four guy who would play big minutes in Boston but is far from a stud, might get traded for a haul. Food for thought.

|Jack Eichel wants Jimmy Vesey in Buffalo, but understands Bruins are probably 'in the back of his mind'
|06.23.16 at 1:25 pm ET
BUFFALO — When the Sabres sent a third-round pick to the Predators for the rights to North Reading native and stud left wing prospect Jimmy Vesey, their hope was obvious: Vesey would pass up his promise to go to unrestricted free agency and instead team with fellow Massachusetts native and Jack Eichel to solidify a young offensive nucleus in Buffalo.
The promise hasn't changed, however. Vesey's camp said the day of the trade that the player would still go to free agency on Aug. 15. Should that hold true, all the Sabres have is time to sell him on their plan so that when all is said and done, Buffalo is the player's choice in free agency.
Fortunately for the Sabres, they have one of the most talented young players in the league as a recruiting tool. Yet while Eichel put in his sales pitch soon after Monday's trade (the two work out together every day), he doesn't expect any good news before Aug. 15.
"I don't think in his mind anything has changed," Eichel told WEEI.com Thursday. "I think he's still going to wait until free agency, but it's nice to have him part of the organization, I guess. It would be great if he came to the Sabres, but he's going to do whatever's best for him at that point."
Furthermore, the 2015 second overall pick is aware of the looming threat on Causeway Street. Shortly after Vesey announced his intentions to not sign with the Predators and instead head for free agency, chatter began (and a Boston Herald report outwardly said) that Vesey had his sights set on signing with the hometown Bruins.
Though Eichel thinks Vesey would make a hell of a Sabre, he can recognize that the Bruins might represent a threat to his teams odds of landing the player.
"I mean, he grows up in Boston watching the Bruins and obviously I think that's got to be in the back of his mind," Eichel said. "He went to school in Boston at Harvard, so he's comfortable and familiar with that area. If that's his preference and that's what he wants to do, then I'm sure he'll do it. But I'm sure he has options and a lot of things going through his head, so I know he'll just take his time and make his decision. [I wish him] all the best."
Eichel, who played with Vesey for Team USA at last year's World Championships and is currently playing in a summer league with Vesey, was modest in expressing how much influence his recommendation will have with Vesey. He noted that Vesey will take advantage of his options as a free agency and consider his own preferences and those of his family and agents.
"Obviously he's a great player, he's a good kid," Eichel said. "He'd bring a lot to the [Sabres]. Any time you can get good players, it's always good. If he comes to Buffalo, I know he'll enjoy it. It's a great city to play for, [but] I think at the end of the day he'll make whatever decision is best for him."

A stolen car leads officers from several agencies on a two county chase ending at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument, Saturday. The chase began in Gunnison after a pickup truck stolen from Utah crashed. Tyler Shepard of Pleasant Grove, Utah, and a 16–year–old Lehi woman were caught at that time.
Minutes later, Coby Bronson of Payson, Utah, stole another vehicle and left the accident scene. Police began chasing the stolen truck west on Highway 50 at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Police fired shots at Bronson. He then ran into a field after wrecking the stolen truck and gave himself up to a Gunnison County Deputy.
Bronson is charged with auto theft and a number of other violations. Methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia were also found during a search of one of the stolen vehicles.

The world will see Jason Bartziokas's talent this week when the Canadian artist's intricate helmet designs take centre stage as the skeleton events kick off at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
You'll see the Jasper, Alta. artist's creations on Canadian skeleton athletes Sarah Reid and Eric Neilson as they zoom down the icy track. These athletes travel fast — at speeds of up to 140 km/h — which is one reason Bartziokas's haunting handiwork fits so well with the sport: skeleton is fast, daring and scary. His helmets are exactly that: terrifying.
A gothic-inspired face featuring dark, sunken eyes is the image on Reid's helmet. Black and white maple leaves and skeleton-like features also adorn the shiny surface. She wanted her helmet to be strong, but feminine, according to Bartziokas.
Neilson, on the other hand, wanted something "badass," Bartziokas explains. He wanted the design to be vicious and eye-catching, so his helmet includes sharp teeth and demonic eyes.
Bartziokas's first taste of the Olympic spotlight came in 2006 when skeleton athlete Paul Boehm asked him to design a snow leopard-inspired helmet. Word soon got around. Neilson heard about his work and contacted him in August via Twitter. Reid reached out shortly after.
He's also created helmets for Boston Bruins goalie Chad Johnson (and has since Johnson's junior hockey days) as well as Western Hockey League players such as Calgary Hitmen goaltender Mack Shields.
Combining sport and art
Designing helmets wasn't always the plan for Bartziokas, whose first love was hockey. But when he discovered playing professionally wasn't in the cards, he turned to his second passion: drawing.
He purchased an airbrush painting kit at the age of 18. Dreaming of one day showing his work in galleries, Bartziokas worked on developing his craft. He enrolled into art school and designed helmets on the side.
Social media and word-of-mouth helped him kick-start what's now become a booming business. Come graduation time, Bartziokas had a ready-made career that combined his two loves: sport and art.
Fast-forward a decade and Bartziokas is now in the midst of the biggest art show of his life.
"I'm proud that I get to paint for them and that they chose me," Bartziokas says of his Olympic spotlight through Reid and Neilson.
"I'm just excited as a Canadian fan of our athletes."
Check out images of Bartziokas's helmet designs in the attached photo gallery.

Public Safety is responsible for developing the Emergency Organization Plan and its appendices and annexes for use by the MCW community in responding to and recovering from any type of emergency situation that may present itself. Those affiliated with MCW may go to Public Safety's Emergency Planning webpages to reference these resources. Those not affiliated may contact MCW Public Safety, (414) 955-8295, for assistance.
Members of the MCW community are educated on a continuous basis that they are required to notify MCW Public Safety of any situation or incident on campus that involves a significant emergency or dangerous situation that may involve an immediate or ongoing threat to the health and safety of students and/or employees on campus.
MCW Public Safety has the responsibility for responding to, and summoning the necessary resources to mitigate, investigate, and document any situation that may cause a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on the campus. In addition, MCW Public Safety has a responsibility to respond to such incidents to determine if the situation does in fact, pose a threat to the community. If that is the case, MCW will immediately notify the campus community or the appropriate segments of the community that may be affected by the situation, upon confirming that an immediate threat exists, in accordance with federal law.
In the event of a serious incident that poses an immediate threat to the health and safety of the MCW community, MCW has various systems in place for communicating information quickly to faculty, staff, and students. The Director of Public Safety, or designee, reviews all reports to determine if there is an immediate or on-going threat to the community and if the distribution of an emergency message is warranted. The Associate Vice President of Public Affairs, or designee, will assist with dissemination of any emergency messages.
Public Safety has the ability to post periodic updates during a critical incident to MCW's Intranet website and to utilize a text based notification system to distribute alerts to enrolled users. Individuals can also call a dedicated emergency voicemail box, (414) 955-4545, to hear updates. In addition, network emails and building alarm system notifications may be used along with social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Face to face communication may be used, if deemed appropriate or necessary. Some or all of these methods of communication may be activated in the event of an immediate threat to the MCW campus community. Public Safety will determine the appropriate segment or segments of the campus community to receive notification.
Warnings may be distributed through several different mechanisms including:
• Mass notification system messaging
• Postings on the MCW Intranet ("Infoscope") and Public Safety website
• Via MCW's email system
• Dedicated emergency voicemail box
• Strategic placement of public notices and/or warnings
MCW uses the mass notification system, AlertSense, to send alerts to the on and off campus population via e-ail and text messaging. This mass notification system is only used for critical, timely emergency notifications, to include weather related campus closings and other significant events.
All students, staff, faculty and contracted employees have their MCW email addresses automatically enrolled. However, enrollment of cellular phones, smartphones and other text capable devices is purely voluntary. If an individual uses his/her MCW-issued or personal mobile phone as a primary communication tool, the benefits from text messaging will increase if that contact information has been provided.
In the case of a significant emergency or dangerous situation, Public Safety will notify various campus partners such as Campus Operations and the Office of Public Affairs as determined necessary. If an emergency or dangerous situation is confirmed by the Director of Public Safety, or designee, (with the assistance of campus administrators, local first responders and/or the National Weather Service), and that situation presents an immediate threat to the health and/or safety of some or all members of the MCW community, the Director of Public Safety, or designee, will determine the content of the emergency notifications used to communicate the threat to the campus. Information will be disseminated in the most timely and appropriate manner.
These notifications will be sent without delay, taking into account the safety of the community, unless issuing a notification will, in the judgment of the first responders (MCW Public Safety, Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, Wauwatosa Fire Department, etc.), compromise the efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.
MCW will post follow up information during a critical incident on MCW's Intranet website, as well as using some or all of the methods described previously (i.e., mass notification system messaging, MCW's email system, dedicated emergency voicemail box, and/or strategic placement of public notices/warning).
Emergency Messaging Systems available to MCW students, faculty and staff:
Emergency Messaging Systems available to the Community at Large:
Registration for current students, faculty and staff:
If a student, faculty or staff member has an MCW email address, they have an existing mass notification system profile. If a student, faculty or staff member would like to add email or cell phone contact information to their existing mass notification system profile, they should go to mystateusa.com and enter their MCW email address.
Once submitted, AlertSense will send to a link that will allow them to update their contact information. Depending on email spam filters, one may need to check their junk mail folder for 'firstname.lastname@example.com.' Please be aware that the update link is time sensitive and will expire after thirty (30) minutes.
Registration for the Community at Large:
If a member of the community at large would like to enroll in MCW's mass notification system, they may do so by visiting our main page and clicking on the Mass Notification System Enrollment icon. They will then be directed to the AlertSense website to submit their email and cell phone information.
Annual Tests (Drills and Exercises)
Annual tests of these emergency notification systems are conducted in conjunction with an evacuation drill and a severe weather/tornado drill. These tests, including the date, time, and whether the drill was announced or unannounced, are documented by Public Safety. MCW will publish, on MCW's Intranet site and Public Safety webpage, a summary of its emergency response and evacuation procedures in conjunction with at least one drill or exercise each calendar year. MCW's emergency response and evacuation procedures are reviewed on an annual basis and publicized to the MCW community. This information is also available on the Emergency Planning section of Public Safety's Intranet site.
General Evacuation Procedures
At the sound of a evacuation alarm (fire or evacuation) or if you are otherwise instructed to evacuate the building, leave your work area immediately, travel to the nearest exit, proceed to ground level and exit the building.
If you discover a fire or smoke, use the following acronym: RACE
1. Remove yourself and anyone in immediate danger.
2. Alarm. Pull the nearest Manual Pull Station. This signal will alert others in the building.
3. Confine the fire, if safe to do so, by closing doors and windows. In all cases, removing yourself from danger and providing notification take precedence over confining the fire. If the fire is believed to be controllable, you may attempt to contain it using a portable fire extinguisher from a nearby area. Be familiar with the location and proper use of portable fire extinguishers. Always maintain a safe exit path between yourself and the fire.
4. Evacuate the building. As required, go to your designated Evacuation Assembly Area. Await further instructions from Public Safety, the fire department or your supervisor.

Local students prepare for school's start
Published: Thursday, August 4, 2005 at 11:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 4, 2005 at 11:16 a.m.
HOUMA -- After more than two months of no homework and unfettered freedom, thousands of local students face the end of summer and a return to the structured schedule of school.
Tuesday marks the start of public schools in Terrebonne. Public schools in Lafourche start class Aug. 11, and Catholic schools resume on various days from Tuesday to Aug. 15.
Some area parents have already taken steps to ease the transition.
"I'm trying to structure bedtime hours," said Rozie Chauvin, who has a kindergartner starting at Houma Christian this month. "I try and tire him out during the day, but that doesn't always work."
Chauvin was one of several parents doing last-minute school shopping Wednesday afternoon at Young Fashions School Uniforms in Houma.
Connie Pierron, store manager, said most parents and students wait until the final days of summer to buy the necessary school uniforms.
"They say it's not easy, it's a job," said Pierron. "Once it's done, it's an accomplishment."
Terrebonne High School junior Brittani Babin, 15, still has supplies to buy but said she is eagerly anticipating the return to school.
"Yeah, to see my friends," she said.
Buying school clothes and notebooks isn't the only thing parents must do to ready their children for the return to class.
You must also make sure your child's immunizations are up to date. If your child needs a shot, he can get a free one through Saturday at the
Terrebonne Health clinic, 600 Polk St. The telephone number is 857-3601.
It's one of 10 state-run health clinics throughout the area offering free immunizations.
Children are the main target of the three-day Shots for Tots, but older students and adults who bring their immunization records also can get any shots that need updating.
Shots will be given from 2 to 8 p.m. today, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Other locations are:
- Teche Action Board, 189 Mozart Drive, Dulac. 868-3700.
- Lafourche Parish Health Unit, 2535 Veterans Blvd., Thibodaux. 447-0921.
- Lafourche Parish Health Unit. 133 W. 112th St., Cut Off. 632-5567.
Parents should bring their children's shot records.
You should also take steps now to help your child develop good homework and study habits. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends you create a quiet spot for your student to do homework and forbid TV viewing during homework time.
And it's also important to make sure the young scholars in your house are getting enough sleep. The National Center on Sleep Disorders Research recommends that children ages 7 to 11 get at least nine hours each night.
To help meet that goal during school, it's important to establish a routine now, easing children back into a regimented schedule after a summer spent staying up late and sleeping much of the morning away.
Start putting children to bed a little earlier each night now, educators say, and that will make the first few days of school easier on everyone in the household.
The center urges parents to establish a regular bedtime, eliminate distractions such as a TV or computer from your child's room, avoid giving children big meals near bedtime and limit caffeinated beverages.
Terrebonne administrators also had advice for returning students.
"Basically, I would like to remind them, the fifth- and sixth-grade students, to continue to work on their packets," said Montegut Middle Principal Cathy Telford, a reference to the summer workbooks that went home with students when they left for the summer. Students who hand in their completed workbooks get an extra A. "We are encouraging them to complete that."
Mark Torbert, principal at Evergreen Junior High in Houma, advised parents to keep in touch with teachers throughout the school year.
Torbert suggested that parents communicate with teachers through e-mail, explaining that each Evergreen teacher's e-mail address is posted on the school's Web site. All Terrebonne Parish schools' Web sites can be accessed through the School Board's Web site, www.tpsd.org.
Courier staff writer Mika Edwards can be reached at 857-2202 or email@example.com.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab. It's big. It's bad. It's seven inches of glass and liquid crystals covering one of the most advanced mobile chipsets known to man or beast. Make no mistake -- this isn't a cellphone. It's a tablet computer that happens to run our beloved Android operating system.
The Tab will change the way you live your digital life. Even if you never have the pleasure of using one, it's game changing nature will affect every mobile device (Android or otherwise) from here on out.

Hello all. As my name indicates, I am new to digital photography, so PLEASE take it easy on me. I recently purchased a D5100 and am very happy with it. I took a 1/2 day workshop on how to make use of it's features, and I learned a ton, though I am still a novice.Here is something I have run into. Even in "FINE" mode and "LARGE" setting, my files are only 3-7 megs max, with the average being around 4 MB per file. I was under the impression that a 16.2 MP camera should produce files much larger than that. Everyone I talk to says the same thing, if it's set to fine and large the files should be between 8 and 25 megs. I am using a 32gig class 10 micro SD card (with adapter).Can anyone help me? Is there any way at all this is the camera? I have even reset the camera to it's defaults, and reset the file type and photo size (fine and large) to no avail. I hope this is sufficient info for someone to help me.Thanks in advance,
Nevis, US

Your file sizes are normal for a large/fine JPEG file because JPEGs are compressed. Shoot RAW (NEF), and they'll be a lot bigger.

There's nothing wrong. JPEG files inherently are compressed, and they compress a lot depending on what you have in the image. A smooth, evenly lit blank wall compresses a lot more than pictures of dense, leafy underbrush in speckled/dappled sunlight. If you set it to produce TIFF files (does it do that? Can't remember - some models do, some do not) you'll get a pretty enormous file out of it. TIFF is often not compressed at all.

As noted already, Jpegs have data compression applied to the data. Also the the camera's measure is megapixel while the computer stores bytes. The number of pixels to bytes depends upon the color depth being recorded. The number of bits per pixel will determine how many bytes will be needed to store a pixel. There is also some other data recored ed within the image known as EXIF or meta data, but this data takes up less than 1 Mega Byte.And there is a preview thumbnail image embedded within the Jpeg and NEF image.

Hi, I would recommend you set you camera to jpeg and Raw.That way you get a pure image and a photo you can share with people.then you can later modify/crop etc the raw and give people a photo you really like.

I only take my most important pictures in RAW (NEF) format and when I do I also take JPEGs.99.99% of the time the JPEGs are better than the NEF because of in-camera processing (if you set up your camera properly).And, I take thousands of pictures with little time left for post processing, so I usually only take large/fine JPEGs.Besides, software has gotten so good that you can post process a JPEG and more easily too.

WOW! I was sure I was set to receive reply notifications by email, and was wondering why I hadn't received any feedback, so I checked in today just by chance. Thank you all so much for taking the time to help out the new guy, I am now satisfied that I am not doing anything wrong, and am looking forward to some great photography with this excellent camera.Happy shooting everyone and thanks again!!!!J

Loved this app in the past so ended up buying it now it doesn't work on my gs4 Go to buy proper app to find it don't work thanks a lot now stopped working on note 4 also on 6.0.1 marshmallow
Great Player I now this app on my tablet and my G4. Instant play. Highly recommend. EDIT: Update unfortunately is not to my liking... App use to find all my videos and loved the simplicity, but not now... Sorry
Doesn't support AC3 Nice app but doesn't support a common audio format - and the custom codecs you can download to sort it out simply don't work. Don't do anything at all, in fact. The claim is that this is a licencing problem, but lots of other players seem to manage fine. Also no support at all on this issue. So basically this app is broken.
Great until 1.8 update The 1.8 update requires a version 1.8 armv7 neon codec for AC3 audio but the update isn't available yet. And since the update doesn't warn you when you install it you find out when you go to play a movie. The only solution is to search and find an old version somewhere on the net and sideload it and hope it was a legit site. Even after the update it still does play ac3 audio.
Loop Not Working... After update the loop video is not working. Loop one and loop all videos has stopped working. Samsung Galaxy S7/ MM 6.0.1
WMV Audio Issue Was the best video app around until latest update. Now some of my WMV files have very choppy audio.
What's New
1.8.5 - 1.8.6
- Bug fixes.
- Added swipe/pull down interface for refreshing media library. (Refresh method can be changed on [Settings → List → Refresh method])
- Added an option for unattended Android TV on [Settings → Player → Suppress error message].
- Fixed MX Player Pro not running on Android 7.
- Other bug fixes and improvements.

It is now June 13 and based on the lies that they told Discovercard, I will not be receiving any refund. Vontage basically told Discover that I was not entitled to a refund as they were taking my whole $68.77 and using it as a cancellation charge. Vonage sucks and so does Discovercard. I have cancelled my discover card because what is the purpose of having a fraud department if you allow Vonage or any other company to steal from your customer. I guess I am lucky in the sense that Vonage and discover only STOLE $68.77. I am sure that they have stole far more from other customers.

By Mr. Michael K. Beaton, Presidio of MontereyApril 9, 2014
PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. --
The Presidio of Monterey and Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center held a Days of Remembrance observance ceremony April 9 at the Tin Barn to commemorate the Jewish Holocaust.
The Jewish Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945
The observance event was organized and sponsored by the Presidio of Monterey Dental Clinic and the DLIFLC Hebrew Department, many of who's students took active part in the event's program.
The theme designated for the 2014 observance is "Confronting the Holocaust: American Responses."
More than six million Jews were murdered by the end of World War II, ending centuries of European Jewry and its contribution to western art, literature and culture.
The Holocaust Days of Remembrance is an eight-day period of commemoration that coincides with Yom Ha-shoah, Hebrew for Holocaust Remembrance Day, and initiates the eight days leading up to Israeli Independence Day.
This year Holocaust Remembrance Week takes place April 27 through May 4.
The Presidio Observance began with an invocation by Army Chaplain Maj. Terry Cobban following the singing of the national anthem by the DLIFLC choir. The opening remarks and introduction of the keynote speaker was made by Col. Glen Fallo, Presidio of Monterey Dental Clinic commander.
This year's observance ceremony keynote speaker was Professor Avner Even-Zohar, a Sabra (native Israeli-born Jew) who served for six years as an education officer in the Israeli army. He is an assistant professor of the DLIFLC Hebrew Department.
Besides teaching at the DLIFLC Hebrew Department, he is a published author and sought after speaker and lecturer.
Even-Zohar opened his presentation by outlining the cruel and gruesome history of the Holocaust, from its sinister beginnings in 1930's Nazi Germany to its tragic and grotesque conclusion at the end of WWII with the arrival of Allied troops and the liberation of Jews and other prisoners from the network of concentration camps throughout Germany and its conquered territories.
"The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators," said Even-Zohar,
"not all victims were Jewish, but all Jews were victims."
He noted that "the final solution" is the name Nazis gave to the extermination of all Jewish people. "They defined the Jews as a race; it was the code-language they used for organized murder."
"The lesson of the Holocaust begins when you hear people speaking bigotry, whether in the form of homo-phobia or racism. It always starts with hate speech," said Even-Zohar. "The hatred that led to the Holocaust is still alive in the world. We have to be vigilant."
Continuing his retrospective, Even-Zohar touched on several events after WWII that illustrated the enduring tenacity of hatred and ignorance, including the testimony of Adolph Eichmann who was found and brought to trial in 1960, and more recently, the hate-filled government-sanctioned speeches of elected Iranian political and clerical thugs made today and Holocaust deniers around the world.
Leaning on the podium, Even-Zohar paused and drew breath. "But there was light too, even during the Holocaust; there were people whose humanity survived all brutality, isolation and torture. Jews and Gentiles who had the strength to do what was right."
Even-Zohar quoted the Holocaust survivor, author Viktor Frankl who observed that some people in the camps would divide their meager rations to share with others: "Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation."
Even-Zohar said that "Frankl was showing that kindness, even amidst the horror and nightmare of the camps, was an act of humanity. It gave life meaning."
He ended his remarks explaining "That is no less a lesson of the Holocaust also -- to serve others, to do good in the world, not for yourselves but for a greater purpose than your own life: your families, your country, those less fortunate."
"That," he emphasized, "is how to honor the survivors, the rescuers and the liberators of the Holocaust, as well as the victims."
Following Even-Zohar's remarks, DLIFLC students Staff Sgt. Brian Hotchkiss, Airmen 1st Class Christian Mallinson and Emiliy Houghton and Sgt. Lamisha Davis took turns reading profiles of remarkable people, Jews and Gentiles, whose humanity provided hope in the impossible world of the camps where the Holocaust was perpetrated.
The observance was concluded with a Jewish song of remembrance played by DLIFLC student Airman 1st Class Zachary Obst on guitar with accompanying vocals by Seaman Apprentice Elise Barnette.
The United States Congress established the Days of Remembrance in 1980 as the nation's annual commemoration of the Holocaust and created the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum as a permanent living memorial to the victims that same year.
During the Presidio's observance service members also lit candles in memory of the six million Jews, among them a million and a half children, murdered by the German state and its allies across Europe between 1933 and 1945, and observed a moment of silence for all the victims of the Holocaust.

When I received my information in the mail I requested a refund. they said I was too late. They refused to consider giving me a refund. Since then they have been calling me obsesively and telling me I still owe 100 on my vacation package. I continued to tell them that I want my 300 back.
I told them I want the $300.00 back they scammed off my previous and now deactivated credit card. They said I was too late to get my money back and that I still owed them $100.00 for a Florida time share scam that never intend to use! They expect me to pay my way down and back from Alberta, Canada to Florida so they can try to scam me out of more money in a time share! I refuse to do it. I added their #s to my "ET SCAM" caller id.
What I usually do now when they call, is answer and hang up so they do not get a chance to use my voice mail. I don't say anything because they already know my position and they don't deserve the time of day. Feel free to use this method to stop the voice mails.

Jane Austen would spin in her nearly 200-year-old grave at the crude and broad movie made in her name.
