Ginormous Secret Reveal
M had just signed offline when I got a text asking when I was leaving work because he had something to tell me. My stomach dropped. Something bad happened. As I was mid-text back to him, he signed back online to ask when I was leaving the office. I told him 15 or so minutes, but would call when I left. I continued to finish my work for the day, in no hurry to call him.
As I stepped out into the pouring rain, I called. We made small talk about the weather and what he was doing and then he says, "I got it." And being the lady that I am, I responded "You're shitting me."
The conversation that ensued will always be somewhat of a blur. Maybe it was the shock or the fog and rain, but I seemed to gasp for air, while I cried and had the biggest smile on my face repeating how happy I was for him and for us.
I won't go into details of what or where or when or how because this is bigger than an amazing career move for him. This means we get to start a life together, in the same city under the same roof. The distance is O-V-E-R!
I am so beyond grateful that I can't even formulate the words to express it right now. I've learned from this that I probably have a really ugly cry when I'm as happy as I am right now.
So for those of you who guessed correctly, yes, M and I will be in the same town. And yes, M and I will be moving in together. Thank you all for your sweet, sweet comments! We are so very happy! Now let the countdown begin until he's here!

Variables in the Carb Count

Views: 4759
Carb count aside (I can see many of our readers shuddering at a 66-carb-gram bowl of soup with another 60+ carb grams of crackers -- but as Bennet says, YDMV), there are so many variables between what is inside the can and what gets onto your plate, and what of that gets into your mouth, that it's a wonder any of us comes "within delta" of correctly calculating the effects of our food on our blood glucose.
Let's start with serving size. I was diagnosed during the era of "exchange" diets, so to me, a "serving" of vegetables is 5 g carb, and a "serving" of starch is 15 g carb. The oatmeal in my kitchen cabinet (America's Choice Old-Fashioned Oats) states a serving size of 1/2 c (40 g) dry, for 27 g carb. If I take my half-cup measure and do like we learned in 7th Grade Home Ec class -- use a scoop to pour the oatmeal into my half-cup dry measure, and level off with a knife -- when I weigh the result, I get 50 grams. Fifty grams. One quarter more than the stated serving size. (And yes, I did tare out the weight of the measuring cup first.) So if I were calculating insulin based on dry measurement, I'm already off by a quarter. Now, since I use exchanges, I can either recalculate to the package serving (27 g carb divided by 15 g per exchange = 1.8 exchanges) or I can recalculate down to a single starch exchange (15/27 = 5/9, times 40 g per serving, equals 22.2 g per starch exchange). If I were to trust the density (weight per volume) information on the nutrition label, I would be looking to add just over 1/20 cup to my half-cup serving. 1 Tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, 1 teaspoon is 1/48 of a cup, so I'd be looking for about 4/5 of a Tablespoon for that extra 4 grams carb. Presuming the discrepancies carry down to the teaspoon level, I'm adding in another 5 g carb to a 33.5 g measurement, for 38.5 g carb instead of 30 -- more than half of a starch exchange!
Now let's take something that is more conducive to "just making the whole container worth". I have a can of Progresso "40% less sodium" soup that says its contents weigh 524 g, that the serving size is 249 g, and that the can contains "about 2 servings". 2 x 249 = 498, leaving another 26 g, or 1/10 of a serving. While the carb count on this difference is arguably insignificant (16 g carb per serving = 1.6 extra carb), the sodium content (480 mg per serving) is not, especially when one is counting every milligram. Another can --this one a 14.5-oz can of Shop-Rite Sliced Stewed Tomatoes (No Salt Added) -- states a net weight of 411 g, a serving size of 123 g, 8 g carb per serving, and 3.5 servings per container. 3 servings are 369 g, 0.5 serving is 61.5 g, so 3.5 servings are 430.5 g -- a nominal deficit of 29.5 g or approximately 0.22 servings. Here, though, we are talking about straight vegetables, and 8 g carb translates to 1.6 vegetable exchanges -- so in reality I'm looking at about 22.5 g carb for the can, or 4.5 vegetable exchanges. Significant difference, no?
This all assumes that the contents of the container weigh exactly what is printed on the label. Weighing a 14.5-oz can of diced or sliced tomatoes, I will get as little as 25 g less than listed and as much as 50 g more. Again, this is a significant proportion of a 123-g serving. And these types of canned tomatoes tend not to leave any residue in the can. Other packaged foods -- such as yogurt -- are another story. My favorite Chobani nonfat vanilla yogurt comes in a nominal six-ounce/170-g container, with a 170-g serving size. Sealed, the container weighs 179 g. Once I remove the foil lid, that goes down a gram or two (177-178 g) -- depending on how much yogurt sticks to the lid. Use a spoon to eat the yogurt, and the empty container weighs 10-12 g, suggesting I've only eaten about 165-168 g. Scale this up to the one-quart container of the average store-brand nonfat yogurt. Spoon out all the yogurt, and the open container weighs 33 g. Wash and dry the container thoroughly, and you'll find it only weighs 16 g. In none of these cases can one trust that the weight listed on the container is the weight of food you will get by emptying its contents into a bowl or a cooking pot -- much less the double-transfer from can to pot to bowl.
These are just a few of the causes of discrepancy between what we think we are eating and what actually goes into our mouths. I'll consider a few more in my next post -- and I promise there will be a lot less math in it.

After a week away from competition, Stetson men's golf team visits southwest Florida for the Cobra-Puma Invitational, a two-day, 54-hole tournament at Miramar Lakes Golf Club, Oct. 27 and 28 in Fort Myers, Fla. Stetson is one of 13 teams in the field.
Stetson will bring a quintet made up of freshmen Eliott Azoulay and Zach Stark, sophomores Dustin Dingus and David Torres, and junior co-captain Matt Taylor to Fort Myers. Taylor, a Naples native, is making his first start of the fall as he returns to his hometown area.
"I am very proud of Matt," said head coach Larry Watson. "He has worked hard on his game and kept a good attitude this fall and it has all paid off for him."
Watson also cited Torres for his hard work and dedication through the early part of the season.
"I can't enough about say how impressed I am with David," said Watson. "He has made a great contribution to the team. He started the year as a walk-on qualifier and now is playing in his third straight event. That's turning things around and making positive move to his goals as a member of the team."
The Hatters are looking to close out a solid fall with at least a top-four finish, says Watson.
"This is an outstanding field and it should be a competitive event," he said. "Our goal is to finish in the top four in Fort Myers."
Stetson finished tenth in the 13-team Donald Ross Intercollegiate two weeks ago in Morganton, N.C. Dingus led the way for the Hatters, earning a ninth-place finish after shooting two-under par 208 (69-72-67).

License to give shots renewed
February 5, 2013
The Salem City Health Department is back in the business of giving shots and has flu vaccine available for anyone in need of a flu shot....
You know Setty, what would have been appropriate? If you would have made an apology to the community...
That health department belongs to the people and the people expect better than what you delivered with that vital mistake. You are lucky I wasn't sitting on that board....

Mike is even more troubled when he asks his father what he's using for protection. "Lana Turner and Raquel Welch," Bud says as he extends his fists, "because they're both knockouts."

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Given the
current "heightened terror alert" in the U.S., Transportation
Safety Administration (TSA) officials find themselves staring at
people in the nude via
full-body scanners and executing new
"enhanced" search pat-downs of peoples' private regions to
ensure that our commercial airplanes are safe.
Just how far the U.S. government is willing to invade individuals' privacy in
the name of counterterrorism was highlighted by a recent incident at a Kentucky
A 6-year-old girl named Anna Drexel was just returning home from vacation, with
her parents Selena and Todd Drexel. As they passed through the security
screening checkpoint, to her parents' alarm, Anna was pulled aside for a
special "modified" search.
During the search, the screener informed the parents and the girl, "[I'm
going to] put my hand in the waistband."
She reassured the parents that she would only touch "sensitive" areas
with the back of her hand.
The search left the child confused and in tears. In an interview with
ABC's "Good
Morning America" program, Selena Drexel said her child "had a
very bad feeling that what happened was wrong."
Alarmed by what was unfolding, the parents surreptitiously videotaped the
incident on a cell phone, posting it on YouTube [video] as a
warning to parents. The video is now creating quite a stir, much like the
infamous don't "touch my junk" screening video.
Martin Macpherson, the director of the London-based Coalition to Stop
the Use of Child Soldiers says that there are no known incidents in which
terrorists have use children six and younger in an attack.
But some in the U.S. government are defending the "modified" search
policy in place for children 12 and younger. They state the policy, which
includes reaching inside the child's pants in an attempt to search for possible
explosive devices, is clearly stated on the agency's website.
Children and adults are often extensively searched if they decline to go
through the scanners, which show
nude images of the passenger.
Jennifer Mitchell, co-president of Child
Lures Prevention, a Shelburne, Vt., organization that works to prevent
crimes against children, also seemed to defend the practice in an interview with
the Associated Press. While she admits the search is "a
little invasive", she adds, "This is a hard issue because we have
national security on one hand... and children's safety on the other. The only
reason it would be allowed is the parents are right there, the clothes are not
being removed, the parents are watching to make sure it's done ok."
It is unclear, though exactly how "national security" might hinge on
reaching inside childrens' clothes, given that children as young as Anna Drexel
have never been used in an attack.
U.S. Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is among a handful of
government officials who have expressed outrage at the TSA and other officials'
defense of the official involved in the incident. He states, "This
conduct is in clear violation of TSA's explicit policy not to conduct thorough
pat-downs on children under the age of 13."
Rep. Chaffetz is chairman of the House
Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security. He
says he was "personally outraged and disgusted" by the video of the
Under Rep. Chaffetz's pressuring, the TSA has agreed to review the search
policy for "low-risk populations, such as young passengers." It
said it may opt to "move beyond a one-size fits all system", though
it gave no clue about what policies might comprise its new varied child search
system or when it might replace the current policies.
In some states a stranger touching or feeling a child's groin/genitalia can be
construed as a felony sex crime. Sex crimes against children often
receive stiff sentences, including years in prison. The TSA has stated it
will not pursue any charges or discipline against the agent involved in the
search, as the contact was initiated in the interest of preserving national

So the Greeley Moms have a book club. And we chose "Half Broke Horses" by Jeanette Wallsfor our first book.
As soon as I saw the cover, I knew it was going to be a book I enjoyed. Not only is it a real-life novel, it takes place in the early 1900s. As a little girl, I remember watching "Little House on the Prairie" and playing Oregon Trail on the computers at school (remember those bricks?), pretending that I, too, lived in a log cabin, traveled by horse and carriage and had to go to the lake for a bucket of water.
Immediately, Walls' book gives you an idea of the main character, Lily. She was a mother figure to her younger siblings, always looking out for them. She was stubborn but had a good head on her shoulders. From a young age, she knew what she wanted, and she wasn't going to let anyone stop her, no matter how many times she was knocked down.
She actually reminded me a lot of my daughter, Emaleigh, one strong-willed girl.
Although sometimes it's the hardest thing to do, the best thing we can do for our kids is to let them fall. I'm not talking about not being at the bottom of the slide to catch them when they're counting on you to be there. I am referring to the falls of life. We don't all have the same "falls," but it's up to us to learn how to get up, brush off the dirt and try again.
As a mom, it's my job to lead and instruct my children on what "falling" might be like, but ultimately, they have to feel it for themselves. It wouldn't do my kids any justice if I was always there to catch them. I have to let them fall because that's the only way they'll know how to do it the next time. In order to survive the falls and spills that this lifetime will bring them, they must persevere.
Please join us this Thursday at 7 p.m. (at the house of yours truly) to discuss the entire book and meet as women, moms and friends. RSVP by e-mailing email@example.com. You'll get a note back with my address! Please also bring a snack or drink (or both!) to share.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone! Enjoy the book if you haven't finished yet, and if you have, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Caiti Mondragon is married with three children. Read her Tuesdays on Greeley Moms. Also check out her personal blog here.

Greaty pen. Even better customer service
By tourenlair
from Irvine, Ca
Comments about Waterford Celebration Fountain Pen:
I wanted to write to express my extreme pleasure with the Levenger company.My wife first purchased my Waterford Celebration Fountain pen about two years ago for my birthday. "A gentlemen's pen for a true gentleman," she told me as she handed me the box. As an admirer of finely crafted products, I felt a sense of pride as I held and wrote with my pen for the very first time. I could only imagine that this is what it felt like when Arthur pulled the sword from the stone! Seriously, all hyperbole aside, it was really a superb implement…ink that flowed as smoothly as silk, nicely weighted, 14k gold plated nib, Waterford crystal in the pen cap, and engraved with my initials.However, the quality of the pen began to wither. It was not writing as smoothly as it did in the beginning. I had to "scratch" the paper several times before the ink began to flow. The symptom continued to worsen to the point where it no longer became enjoyable to write. At some point, I just stopped using the pen.Two years passed and I happened to be on the Levenger website to see about gifts for a distinguished colleague of mine. For the sake of sentiment, I went to look at the fountain pens and to reminisce of the days past when my fountain pen used to work. There, I noticed some customer reviews on the Celebration Fountain Pen. I was shocked to see that there were others who had experienced problems similar to mine. One of the reviewers did say that he was able to correct the problem using a new nib and cartridge.Hope glimmered as I once again saw a chance to fix my pen. I wrote Levenger to ask about the part numbers mentioned in the review so that I too could resurrect my pen. I was encouraged to call customer service.I explained my situation to the young woman and she mentioned that, "Levenger backs all of their products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee." I told her that it had been two years, and that I didn't know if too much time had passed. "Nonsense," she replied. "For the amount of money you spent, we want to make sure that you are completely satisfied. Just send it back and we will replace it with a new one. We will even take care of the shipping."Never have I ever been treated so well by a company. With other companies I spend most of the time justifying my position, only to be referred to the small print on a piece of paper long since discarded. But, with Levenger, I was treated with respect. I was valued. I was listened to and felt like Levenger really cared. I think of the old adage, "you cannot love others if you first don't love yourself." It is so obvious to me that Levenger is a company that has pride in itself, its products, its employees, most importantly, its clients. So, in that instant, my loyalty was won. I have been praising my experience with Levenger to my colleagues and friends ever since.My only regret is that I forgot the name of the young woman who was so kind and gracious in helping me. (I suppose if I had a pen, I would have written her name down). So, I am left to extend my thanks to the entire company. Keep up the great work. You have definitely earned a client for life!

Crystal is not of the quality I expected and the pen...
By TangoToca
from Undisclosed
Crystal is not of the quality I expected and the pen leaks through the nib. That being said, it's keeper!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By MikeyDC
from Washington DC
I want to love this pen. I have now had two from Levenger and it simply doesn't work reliably. The pen is beautiful and feels fantastic in your hand. Well weighted and feel like quality. I love everything about it until I start to write. Then, be prepared to waste a sheet of paper trying to get the ink to flow, once it gets going it isn't too bad, but I have tried with disposable cartridges, refillable inks etc. and the end result is the same. I only feel like I can use it for special occasions like a major contract signing. Sadly, stay away.

Everytime i use....
Merchant response: Thank you for your review of the Waterford Celebration Fountain Pen. I apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with these nibs. Upon checking your account I see that you have returned both pens. If you have any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to give me a call. I have submitted your comments to our Product Development and Design team for review.
Works beautifully in the end
By zenCharlie
from Raleigh, NC
I bought this as a gift for myself to commemorate a promotion. It is absolutely beautiful and the balance is good for my hand.I had a lot of trouble with the original nib and what may have been old ink cartridges. I ended up buying the Levenger fine nib and empyrean blue catridges. Finally it works beautifully. Looks great with a leather portfolio at the most important meetings.
By revbyrd1
from Whiteville, NC
I purchased this fountain pen from Levenger during a sale period last December. The price was unattainable at any other outlet for a fountain pen of this quality. I added personalization, and made the fountain pen all the more special as an addition to my collection.This model is lovely to look at, but even better to hold as you write. It has an excellent balance and smooth nib. I have been collecting fountain pens since High School, and this is one of my favorites thus far.
Classy and Good Write
By eyeoftaurus
from San Diego, CA
I asked for this pen for my birthday as am an avid fountain pen user and collector. This pen is stunning and not only looks good but writes like butter. Highly recommend this instrument to all.

Rollover 401K into Traditional, Then Convert To Roth IRA?
|Email Print
I have a 401k from my former employment. My CPA says to turn into a traditional IRA and then over to a Roth IRA for tax benefits eventually. He suggest investing in a very low risk A bonds and 25% low risk stock.
His reasoning is we are only taxed now on the lower end of balance, but later as it grows will be beneficial to us then.
I am 52. I plan on using the funds after 59.5 yrs.
1. Is there always a fee connected with rolling over into an IRA — bank, cpa, etc.
2. Does this sound like a wise?
I am very conservative in my finances.
Your question has three parts actually:
Should you roll over a 401k to a Traditional IRA?
If you think that the Traditional IRA gives you access to better investment options, then yes you should roll it over. The tax rules are the same for a Traditional IRA (in this case it's called a Rollover IRA) and a 401k. There is generally no fee associated with rolling over an account.
Should you convert a Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA?
When you convert, you pay taxes on the entire Traditional IRA balance because you didn't pay income taxes on that amount before you contributed it. If you remember, your 401K contributions were deducted from your paycheck, thus making it tax-free; and since Roth IRA funds are post-tax, they extract the tax when you make the conversion. Will this be beneficial to you? Only if you think that your income tax rate will be higher that it is now when you'll be withdrawing the funds in seven years. Only you know that so I can't tell you what I'd do in your situation.
A subquestion to the "whether you should convert question" is how you'd pay for it. You can pay for the tax with funds outside of your IRA's or you can pay using the principal within the IRA. If you need to tap into the principal to pay for the tax, I probably wouldn't do the conversion because you're sacrificing earning potential when you decrease that principal. If you can pay for the tax outside of the IRA, then you have a decision on your hands.
Does this sound wise?
It only sounds wise if you want to go through the trouble (or are willing to pay this CPA to do it for you, which has a lot to do with why he or she suggested it for you) and if you think your income tax rate will be higher in seven years. Luckily your conservative investment style has nothing to do with this, if you think you'll be taxed more in 7 years and you can pay the tax with funds outside of the IRA, then you probably want to convert. If you don't think you'll be taxed more in 7 years, don't do it. If you don't think you can pay for the conversion (which will cost you your tax rate times whatever you convert), don't do it.
Good luck!{ 9 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

NIAGARA FALLS – A Rochester man faces four felony charges after he allegedly broke into a Falls home and beat a man with a chain in order to get prescription pills.
Lastonza Moxley, 60, was arrested on a warrant Tuesday and charged with two counts of first-degree burglary, for causing injury and for using a weapon; and first- and second-degree robbery.
Moxley is accused of forcing his way into an apartment in the 1600 block of Niagara Street on Aug. 6 and using a homemade weapon, a wooden stick with a long chain attached, to beat a 53-year-old man. Moxley then demanded that a woman in the house hand over her pills, according to police. The woman told officers she handed over 10 of her prescription Lortabs, and Moxley left.

as the Northrop Grumman tests out its new
100 KW solid state laser cannon as part of a $98M
USD Maritime Laser Demonstration program with the
U.S. Navy to defend against ships, Raytheon is offering a new
guidance system that may be capable of aiming laser batteries against
airborne targets.In May, the U.S. Navy coupled six
solid-state lasers with an output of 32 kilowatts (the Navy's
Laser Weapon System, LaWS) to Raytheon's Phalanx
Close-In Weapon System sensors. The result was
successful kills of four unmanned aerial vehicles.Raytheon is
showing grainy black and white video of
test for the first time at the U.K.'sFarnborough
International Air Show 2010.The tests were conducted near
the Navy's
weapons and training facility on San
Nicolas Island in California's Santa Barbara Channel.
Phalanx used radio-frequency (radar) sensors and electro-optical
tracking to direct the laser's aim on targets.The results
were impressive and easily surpassed Raytheon's 2006 destruction of a
static mortar shell, and 2008 destruction of an incoming (in motion)
mortar shell over land. Still, Mike Booen, vice president of
Raytheon's Advanced Security and Directed Energy Systems product line
insists that the successful tests are only the start and that the
full system will not be finalized until 2016, at the
earliest.Interestingly, the Phalanx system is nothing new.
It has typically been coupled, though with traditional munition based
weapons, such as the 20-mm Gatling
gun. The laser-equipped system would likely more than
double the range of the traditional Gatling gun.The laser
anti-aircraft batteries could be useful to counter hostile nations
like Iran that have reportedly developed
UAV capabilities. Coupled with the Maritime Laser
Demonstration (MLD) cannons, they could offer an unprecedented
warship. States Northrop spokesman Bob Bishop, "The MLD
system we are under contract to build for [the U.S. Office of Naval
Research] will be scalable to a variety of power levels. That
means that laser power can be added—or subtracted—to meet the
level of response necessary to address the threat, all within the
same modular laser weapon system."The MLD program will
complete its tests by the end of year. The tests will be
performed at 15 KW -- a mere fraction of the laser's full power.
If all goes well, Northrop Grumman may be able to test shots at
higher power levels, afterwards.Both the U.S.
Army and the Air
Force are also currently evaluating and testing laser

So apparently I offended someone about a car seat issue. Well ladies I am not sure I can be sorry if someone out right puts an innocent child in danger. To not say anything is to make the person think that it is somehow ok to have your child in the incorrect seat or have the seat installed incorrectly.
Yes I am a little nutty when it comes to car seats. I fully admit I kept ODS in a Britax Booster until he was almost 10 at which point he reached the max weight of 100 lbs (not a small kid). Jack, our 2 year old is still rear facing in a Diono Radian RXT and the new baby will be in the Chicco Magic until he/she grows out of it at which point I will make the financial sacrifice and buy another Diono RXT so this one can rear face well in to age 3 or 4.
People will argue that "all seats meet the same safety standards" and yes that is true they all meet the same MINIMUM safety standards, I won't settle for minimum! I won't settle for a seat just because it has a cute pattern or extra padding those things don't save lives in accidents.
There is tons of information available about the benefits of extended rear facing and honestly you are better off doing your own research then listening to your pediatrician who is trained to cure and prevent illness, or a police or firefighter who is trained to prevent crime and put out fires. IF you want to know what is safest for your child talk to a Child Passenger Safety Technician they are trained to keep kids safe in the car and are your best resource for information about child carseat safety.
The image below is of a car that was in a parking garage that collapsed in July 2009. Notice the car seat? Had that seat been occupied that child would have survived and sustained little to no injury! Yes even when all the safety precautions are taken things don't turn out for the best but, I could never live with myself knowing that I had not done everything I could to protect my children.
Here is the link to the story about the picture above. www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=9...

Is there any news about their fabricating process? Does the sensor apply to the former 500nm or did Canon change to 180nm, 90nm, or even 65nm parts?
The new AF-system is faster, but can´t beat the AF-system of the HG3, G6 and GF6.
Interesting and promising. Still not as fast as true phase AF, I expect. Still...I was considering the EOS M, but maybe I'll wait for the EOS M MkII with this technology...
Interesting development.For some number of pixels, it is going to reduce (halve?) the amount of light that is received by the photo diode.If this is the green pixels, as suggested by some diagrams, then it may make little/no overall difference as there are already twice as many green receptors as there are red/blue.Additionally, this means that there will be some pixels that do not record the same level of light as others. This will need a bit of new fancy footwork for raw converters to properly evaluate what it means to have a pixel that is not and will never have the same luminosity as all of the others around it.This has potential to have an adverse impact on noise simply due to there being less signal available.Will be interesting to see the outcome!

Trade Ian White?
Posted 22 June 2012 - 11:30 AM
he was +23 this season and prior to that never went in the double digits in the last 3 seasons he played for 5 teams
I would much rather take a chance on like justin schultz and give him a guaranteed spot to start the season ... give him a 20 game trial at the least instead of risking losing him to another team who will guarantee him a spot , hes suppose to be a cant miss where as white i think will be gone after next year .... even if we cant land schultz id still trade white , hes highly overrated in my eyes

no way i know quincey has struggled but i think he'll have a bounce back year , i think hes a better defensemen overall i really cant see ian white coming back after the next season he just looked good cause of lidstrom
I would much rather guarantee schultz a spot on the team and put him with smith if it meant losing him to another team and getting rid of white to make it happen
It's just not going to happen. The Wings don't guarantee rosters spots, especially to someone who has never played a professional-level game.... It doesn't matter how good he's "projected" to be, it just won't happen. The kid is going to have to come here ready to battle for a spot, and if he is as good as people make him out to be, he'll be on the roster.
While I can see the value in trading White, I would only see him being traded in a multi-player deal for someone who improves the team. White is a solid d-man, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well he does this upcoming season.
Same can be said for Quincey, I'm not as high on him, but I am willing to give him a shot and see how he performs with a full season and being used to his linemates and the Wings playing style. He showed he can play a pretty damn good game in LA and Colorado, so we'll see.
This is in no way to be taken as me saying we shouldn't take a run at Schultz... I think we'd be foolish not to, but there are 29 other teams doing the same and I'm sure many who will guarantee him a spot, regardless of whether we do or not.

White is a known commodity, where as Schultz has yet to play an NHL game. I don't think it would be a very smart move on Kenny's part to weaken even more, an already weak defense, just to pander to some snot nosed kid who demands that he starts for an NHL team. You earn your spot with your play in Detroit. If you don't want to buy into the system, there is not much of a future for you as a player here. This, of course, is just my opinion.
To be fair, I don't think the kid has come out and said anything to that effect... I think that's just what fans are saying to entice him to go here rather than there.

Why would we get rid of white again? I must of missed something...
Just speculation that we could get rid of White to guarantee Schultz a spot in the lineup.... silliness is all you're reading.

I can't imagine why the Red Wings would trade him, sure his value is high - and anyone who plays with Lids will be better - but it's not like we signed some schmuck or career AHLer who lucked out. White outperformed career numbers, sure, but he's still a valuable piece of this team.

i just think white is highly overrated and not that good , lidstrom just made him look better than he was and i can see alot of people complaining about him this season , hes been with 5 teams last 3 seasons ... theres a reason for that
That's one way to look at it, you could also argue that that 4 teams thought enough of him to ask for him in a trade or to sign him as a FA.
He's also the only RH shooting defenceman we have right now. I don't really think we should be trading or losing any of our D-men at this point but if we had to I'd be looking to deal Kindl or Quincey.

I agree.
Just speculation that we could get rid of White to guarantee Schultz a spot in the lineup.... silliness is all you're reading.
What happens when White is traded and Schultz decides to sign elsewhere? The Wings d is weak right now, and no UFA's are certain to sign with the Wings.
The UFA d-man class is small, and prices will likely be high. Trading White while counting on an uncertain replacement would not be smart.

White's also making less than Ericsson, and I think it's pretty safe to say that White is the better of the 2...Now moving Ericsson ,or Kindl would make more sense if Holland had the itch, but even then we're better off keeping all our Dmen (including a multi year deal with Quincey) since there's this thing called the injury bug - ya never know when it'll hit.

quote: Let's suppose we have a CPU that is cooled by water, so a high wattage of heat dissipated by the CPU equals a low temperature increase in the water. But instead of some thermal compound, let's stick a piece of cardboard between the CPU and the waterblock. Our CPU when turned off is at ambient. We turn it on, and within a second the CPU temp rises by some wattage, which equals 5 degrees. Now there is a differential of 5 degrees between it and the water. A differential of 5 degrees means 1 degree's worth of heat wattage can leak past the cardboard and into the water, which for the purposes of this remains the same. The CPU has been coolde by 1 degree so it is 4 degrees above ambient. In the next second that the CPU is on it again rises by 5 degrees worth of heat wattage. This time the differential is 9, and therefore 1.8 degrees can leak over. It's at 7.2, we add 5, and a 12.2 differential means we dissipate 2.44 degrees. And so on until the CPU is 25 degrees hotter than the ambient water temperature and now the CPU dissipates as much heat into the water as it generates.
quote: Let's do the same thing with a regular silicone nanowire TEC with poor heat conductivity. The CPU turns on and it raises 5 degrees. 1 degree of heat on the CPU side leaks out so it's again at +4. Now here comes the tricky part - where it leaks out to - because I don't understand the seebeck effect. One of 2 things could happen.

WBB Suffers 64-52 MAC Road Loss At Akron
AKRON, Ohio - The Ball State women's basketball team (11-13, 8-3 MAC) suffered a 64-52 Mid-American Conference road loss to Akron (17-7, 8-3 MAC) Saturday evening in Rhodes Arena.
For the game freshman guard Nathalie Fontaine led the Cardinals with a double-double after scoring 14 points while adding 11 rebounds. Junior guard Brandy Woody had 12 points. Sophomore guard Shelbie Justice and junior guard Lyzz Smith each added seven points for the game. As a team the Cardinals out-rebounded the Zips 48-to-36.
Akron came out of the gates strong and continued to control the game eventually building a 13-point (53-40) cushion at the 6:49 mark. Ball State tried to comeback but couldn't overcome the Zips second-half surge.
After winning the tip, the Cardinals started the game off with a 7-0 run after two layups from junior forward Katie Murphy along with a basket from Justice and one from Woody. The Ball State defense held Akron scoreless up until the 13:56 mark. The Zips then tied the game 7-7 with 12:44 remaining.
Both teams would go back and forth until Akron went on an 11-8 run which allowed the Zips to take the 23-20 halftime advantage over the Cardinals. At the half, Ball State had out-rebounded Akron 29-to-20 while the score was tied twice with three lead changes.
The Ball State women's basketball team begins a two-game Mid-American Conference home stand Wednesday when the Cardinals host Eastern Michigan at 7 p.m. in Worthen Arena.

This booklet outlines the tests that are used to diagnose and monitor myeloma, and to detect response and relapse. No single study is adequate to tell the whole story about a patient's status but, used together, test results give a more complete picture.
the contents given are useful in understanding for the patients family members to know what the doctors are doing . this will also help the patients family members to educate themselves about the diagnosis and treatment which will help the treatment process more simple in understanding between doctors and patients family members and treatment can be taken in proper steps by doctors and the same can be followed by the patients family members in taking care of the patient throughout the treatment time.
How often should these tests be performed?
The CBC (complete blood count), chem panel, SPEP, IFE, Freelite test, UPEP, FISH, cytogenetics, and imaging studies should be done at diagnosis as a baseline and for staging. Thereafter, patients with active myeloma should be monitored monthly while on therapy. Tests vary according to the doctor's preferences and the patient's situation. Sometimes the CBC is done weekly or biweekly to make sure that medications are not taking a toll on the blood counts. Serum creatinine should be done prior to each infusion of bisphosphonate therapy to make sure the kidneys are not being affected by that treatment. Tests used for monitoring response to treatment vary a bit, depending on the characteristics of an individual patient's myeloma (for example, patients who secrete only light chain protein would be monitored with the Freelite assay, while those who secrete intact protein with heavy and light chains would be monitored with SPEP). Imaging studies should be repeated annually, unless there is a need to perform one sooner than that. Please call the hotline at 800-452-2873 if you need help determining what's appropriate in your situation.

MARTINSBURG -Three women have filed a lawsuit against the exotic dance club where they used to work, alleging the club's management violated labor laws by failing to pay them a minimum wage and forcing them to pay just to work.
The suit was filed by Man Le Garrett, Krystal McLaughlin and Jane Roe against TNA Enterprises, LLC, which does business in Berkeley County under the name Paradise City 2, and Warren Dellinger, the club's managing member.
Jane Roe is a pseudonym, used to protect her from violence from third parties should information about her work location or living location become part of the public record, according to the lawsuit.
The women are seeking to recover damages under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and the West Virginia Wage Payment and Collection Act.
The suit alleges the nightl club utilized a system under which each of the exotic dancers was required and compelled to pay Dellinger and the club at least $10 out of their personal tips for each shift they worked.
The dancers were also allegedly required to pay $35 for each "private dance" they performed and $30 for each 30-minute "champagne room" dance.
Other exotic dancers were also allegedly required to pay $10 to $25 for each private dance they performed and up to $50 for champagne room dances.
"As a result of defendants' system of requiring payment from each plaintiff and other dancers for work each performed, defendants did not permit plaintiff and other dancers to retain all tips each received from defendants' patrons," the suit reads.
The suit also says the exotic dancers weren't paid at an hourly rate at least equal to minimum wage. Dancers, including the women suing the nightclub, were also allegedly required to pay a penalty of $15 on any night that they arrived late for work and as much $100 or more if they didn't report for work or didn't call in advance that they would not be at work.
Garrett worked for Paradise City 2 between July 2012 to mid-August 2012. McLaughlin worked as an exotic dancer between February 2012 and June 2012. Roe worked as an exotic dancer from about September 2011 until August 2012.
Each woman regularly worked four or five days per week and they were required to work defined shifts with defined hours.
"At all times throughout each plaintiff's employment with defendants, defendants did not pay the plaintiff any wages for work duties she performed. Each defendant was required by the FLSA to pay each plaintiff and other dancers similarly situated no less than the minimum wage for each hours worked by the dancer," the suit reads.
The women are seeking for the case to become a class action suit and are seeking unpaid wages, damages, court costs and attorney fees.

Published September 5, 2013
UB has launched "Critical Conversations," an annual presidential program showcasing distinguished scholars at the forefront of their fields who are helping to shape understanding of vital issues facing the world today.
It will be held at the start of the new academic year, and feature a keynote address, as well as opportunities for members of the UB community to interact with the speakers.
The program will debut on Sept. 10 with an address by Ed Lazowska, Bill & Melinda Gates Chair in Computer Science & Engineering, and founding director of the eScience Institute at the University of Washington. One of the world's foremost scholars in the area of high-performance computing and communication systems, Lazowska will share his unique insights into the modern "big data" paradigm—a topic of far-reaching societal impact with implications for the future.
His talk, "Big Data, Enormous Opportunity," will take place at 3:30 p.m. in the Student Union Theater, North Campus. A reception will follow in the Student Union Social Hall.
Lazowska also will join UB faculty, staff, students and alumni for a panel discussion on diversity and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. That discussion will take place at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 9 in 120 Clemens Hall, North Campus.
Both events are free and open to the public. Advanced registration is requested, but not required.
In announcing the launch of Critical Conversations, President Satish K. Tripathi noted that the new program will celebrate UB's "longstanding history of intellectual leadership and innovation," and be a "vital forum for timely, insightful dialogue about key issues shaping the world around us."
The program, he said, will address such broad-ranging topics as global health concerns, contemporary cultural debates, technological trends and socioeconomic challenges—subjects that cross disciplinary boundaries and geographic borders "to shape daily life for us all."
The inaugural Critical Conversations speaker, Ed Lazowska, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, the Association for Computing Machinery, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
His research and teaching focus on the design, implementation and analysis of high-performance computing and communication systems, and more recently, the techniques and technologies of data-intensive discovery.
Lazowska has been active in public policy issues ranging from STEM education to federal policies concerning research and innovation. He recently co-chaired, with David E. Shaw, the Working Group of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, which is charged with reviewing the Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program. He also co-chaired, with Marc Benioff, the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee.
From 2007-13 he served as founding chair of the Computing Community Consortium, whose goal is to catalyze the computing research community and enable the pursuit of innovative, high-impact research aligned with pressing national and global challenges. He has served on the Technical Advisory Board for Microsoft Research since its inception, and is a technical adviser to a number of high-tech companies and venture firms.
Lazowska received a bachelor's degree from Brown University in 1972 and a PhD from the University of Toronto in 1977, the same year he joined the University of Washington faculty.

Following a four-game home-stand, the Stetson men's basketball team hits the road on Thursday for the first time since Dec. 7. The Hatters (3-12, 1-2) will be in search of their first win away from home when taking on Jacksonville (6-9, 2-2) at 7:00 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Arena.
Stetson is coming off of a pair of losses to Northern Kentucky and Florida Gulf Coast, but the Hatters have still won three of their last six contests. Senior Willie Green led the squad with a game high 24 points against the Eagles, upping his scoring average in league games to 16.7 points per game, which ranks the forward fourth in the Atlantic Sun.
Jacksonville has played .500 basketball through its first two weekends of conference play. The Dolphins lost big to Mercer and toppled Kennesaw State at home, and then split a pair of road games, falling to Northern Kentucky and defeating Lipscomb. Jarvis Haywood leads Jacksonville with 17.1 points per game this season.
Stetson and Jacksonville split the regular season series a year ago with each team winning on its home floor. The Hatters won 81-72 in DeLand on Jan. 7, while the Dolphins edged out Stetson 71-70 at Swisher Gymnasium on Jan. 31.
Jacksonville holds a 44-33 advantage in the storied history between these two teams, which dates back to a 108-91 Stetson road win back in 1958. Stetson has won three out of the last five meetings, but the Dolphins have come out victorious in the last seven tilts held in the River City.
Thursday night's action can be watched on ASun.TV or listened to on WSBB AM 1230, WTJV AM 1490, and online at MyAM1230.com. Live Stats, the @StetsonMBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.

Obama: Pot is not more dangerous than alcohol. Do you agree?
"Why did nobody address the FACTUAL information I presented?"
It was same boring context we have heard over and over and over on almost every news story on this subject. So what is there to address? We all gave our opinions then and answered with our views. Sorry if you just can't accept that.
As for Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the man should be grateful he isn't behind bars for what he did in New Orleans. Surgeon General candidate? That is a laugh, the Dems even turned on him.

And look.. I won't give it a break, I may not change the minds of those here, but anyone else who reads it may actually glean a more well rounded opinion on the subject by seeing all angles. Giving it up because someone disagrees is the worst reason to give up. If I believe in something, I'll stand up for that belief even if it means upsetting "friends". If you can't stand up for what YOU believe in, then you have no grounds or reason to believe anything.

Why did nobody address the FACTUAL information I presented? I love that people disagree with Dr. Sanjay Gupta's comments when they're 100% truth. The guy was a Surgeon General Candidate for goodness sake. How can you possibly debate your own opinion when you disregard factual information to suite your own perspective in every instance? You aren't allowing yourself to grow, you're perpetuating the same complacency that creates the very things you all complain about.

I should also add that the same government in question will only sell you marijuana for a study that they approve. And people wonder why the results of the studies are skewed in one direction...they have a clear narrative and they can largely control every aspect of legal research.

I think it's funny that a lot of you don't raise an eyebrow at the fact that you can buy marijuana to use for studies that is GROWN by the same government that claims it illegal, and the same government that you call on to lock people up for it.

I should also add that Marijuana is generally put in the "depressant" category, but the effects are so mild by comparison to alcohol or painkillers and the drug is so hard to classify as a hallucinogen that it can often be found in both categories. It doesn't fit the bill of any classification entirely.. Because it is nothing like the substances in the 3 main categories.

Well, she'll claim here that drug use is going down because it fits her narrative. However, in other arguments, she'll be an advocate for more law enforcement because the industry of illicit drugs has been growing for decades. When you have no substance, no real case as a foundation for you to stand on, and no sound principles, you'll say whatever you have to say, case in point.

WatchDog, there are only 3 drug classifications used by the federal government.. Stimulant, Hallucinogen and Depressant. Marijuana is neither a stimulant or depressant and the "hallucinogenic" effects are attributed to changes in thought process while under the influence. Did you know that nutmeg is a hallucinogen? Don't put too much on your eggnog! Oh, dehydration and lack of sleep are also conducive to hallucinations. Caffeine has also been known to cause hallucinations.. It too is a drug, only it is classified as a Stimulant.. Just like cocaine or methamphetamine. Do you have kids? Are they treated for ADD or ADHD? Did you know the drugs they treat them with are synthetic amphetamine and methamphetamine? Funny how that goes.. Funny that drugs are legal when corporations and the government can profit through sales and tax...

Do you honestly believe that prohibition on this plant was ended in two states; partially ended in over 20 and specifically designated as MEDICINE, if it was more harmful than alcohol? You know that this plant was LEGAL at one point? Why do you think it became illegal? I'll give you a hint.. Not because its dangerous, but because of cultural and political difference. Today it remains in prohibition because it scares several industries including but not limited to pharmaceuticals, textiles and oil.. These are all industries that are deep in lawmakers' pockets. The war on drugs is a COMPLETE failure.. I really would love to see all these statistics on declining drug use that directly correlate to the war on drugs.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta (2009 candidate for SURGEON GENERAL)was interviewed and rose some interesting points. This is a guy who used to oppose the use of cannabis, and now he apologizing for even holding that belief. Dr Gupta believes that only about six per cent of studies into cannabis in the U.S. look at the benefits of the drug, while the rest investigate the dangers of it. As a result the evidence is unfairly skewed towards the view that the drug is harmful. He believes that it is too difficult for scientists to study the effects of marijuana as it is hard to access the drug, and hard to get approval for the research. He goes on to say that in the U.S. someone dies from a prescription drug overdose every 19 minutes while he was unable to find a single example of someone dying from a cannabis overdose.
Medicinal use has been legalized in 20 states, it's on the ballot for 4 more and it is also decriminalized in D.C. meaning possession amounts to nothing more than a civil citation.

PattiHannah, please cite the source that is providing your information. We're talking about a natural plant here.. The worst chemicals you'll find are the same ones you eat in fruits and vegetables everyday. The whole concept of it being "stronger" is a fallacy as well.. The difference is higher potency plants have been selectively bred.. JUST LIKE FOOD, for certain qualities and these plants are more abundant now. Please get your facts straight before making such hilarious claims.

Heyyyy we found something else PattiHannah doesn't know anything about! 400 chemicals in a natural plant that is cut down, dried out and put into a jar for sale. She assumes it's like cigarettes, where they extract the tobacco from the ground and then add a bunch of garbage. But it's not. New strains come about different ways, most breeding plants together, not by adding chemicals LOL. And can someone provide links to crime increasing in Colorado, because I'm pretty comfortable assuming that I follow the news on this topic more than anyone here and I think you two are making that up. All it takes is a link to validate what you're saying.

OhBrother, That is exactly my point. You expressed concerns over making pot legal based on what might happen if your Doctor or mechanic began using it. Yet in your next post you say, " I like to think my Dr. and mechanic would be more concerned about making a huge mistake, getting sued and losing their license and livelihood than going to work stoned." That pretty much make null and void your previous objection to the legalization of Pot.

What Mr. Mingus hasn't shared with you. Specifically, within the last 20 years of these extensive studies that have been conducted worldwide. cons vs. pro. 9 to 1 ratio. Because of the 400 chemicals in marijuana and that number increases with every new strain.

Watchdog, that would be about the only accurate statement that is indisputable about the war on drugs. That is the number one problem. The drugs are not the problem, people are the problem.
But having said that there has been a huge success on the war on drugs make no mistake about it. justice.gov and the DEA has statistics that have been compiled for the last 20 years that have shown incredible decreases on drug use from schools to workplaces. Enormous amounts of statistics to support that statement, all available on those sites.
Your call on Colorado crime rising after legalization is spot on. The legalization has not reduced crime in that State. It has reduced adult arrests but now juvenile arrests are increasing for distribution, possession and use. That was predicted. Authorizing recreational use in the privacy of a home, the only place that it is actually legal, opened that door to easier access for children to get their hands on it.

Well, for better or worse, he's the chap who's now in charge of marketing at RIM. The choice may seem a bit troubling, but it's hard to imagine that it would be easy to recruit top grade executive talent when RIM is clinging to a much-delayed BB10 as its last hope to keep from sinking like the Titanic.
Mr. Boulben was originally erroneously referred to as RIM's new CFO. He is actually the new CMO. RIM defends his track record at LightSquared pointing out that he won 40 contracts in under a year, before LightSquared ran afoul of the FCC and USAF.

How many John Does are there?
As evidence arises that may contradict one victim's claims, other men have reached out to a lawyer who filed a lawsuit accusing the actor of sexual battery and harassment, the attorney tells PEOPLE.
"There's a bunch of accusers against Travolta who have similar accusations," says plaintiff lawyer Okorie Okorocha. "Many have contacted me, and I'm still vetting their stories. More defendants might come forward soon."
Two masseurs listed only under the name John Doe accuse Travolta, 58, of improper behavior during massage sessions, according to the complaint filed in Los Angeles by the Pasadena-based attorney.
Okorocha says the men "never wanted this attention" and "wanted to keep this discreet," but a month of negotiations with Travolta's attorneys went nowhere. "They left us with no other option but to file the lawsuit," he says.
Travolta's high-powered attorney Martin Singer, whose Hollywood A-list client list has included Charlie Sheen, Demi Moore, Nicolas Cage, Eddie Murphy and Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others, strongly denies the allegations, calling them "absurd and ridiculous."
Singer provided PEOPLE a photograph and a Mr. Chow restaurant receipt that purportedly shows that Travolta was in New York on Jan. 16, 2012 – the day the first accuser claims he was assaulted while giving Travolta a massage in a Beverly Hills hotel. TMZ first reported on the photograph and restaurant receipt.
And the restaurant's manager confirms to PEOPLE: "Yes, Mr Travolta came in for dinner to Mr Chow Tribeca on Jan. 16, 2012."
As for allegations by the second accuser that an assault took place during a massage in Atlanta, Singer says, "It is obvious that he checked media reports that my client was in Atlanta working on a movie."

NBA trade rumors are in full swing and Carmelo Anthony is still a Denver Nugget. Anthony's teammate, Chauncey Billups, has repeatedly voice his displeasure with the way the the Carmelo trade talks have unfolded, saying it is unprofessional to keep including his name without notifying him of updates.
On Monday, it was announced the Nuggets and Nets had a deal in place, which included anywhere from 10-15 players and three teams. However, the trade was never officially announced, and no move has been made as of Wednesday morning.
Marcus Camby's name is still in trade talks, but last month Camby was very straight forward and claimed he would only like to be traded to a playoff contender. The Portland big man was so serious about it that he threatened retirement if he was traded to a team he felt wouldn't make the playoffs.
The Knicks, Suns and Nets seem to be the most active on the trade market, but who knows if a mega-deal will break before the deadline.
