Like many dog owners, there are probably times when you wish your dog was better behaved. In fact, you may be wishing that most of the time!
There are many systems that claim to be able to help you train your dog. Daniel Stevens' Secrets to Dog Training is probably the best known of all of the dog training systems that you can get online. But is it what you need? Does it work for real owners and their dogs? I'm going to take a look at the issues and see whether this can help you resolve them.
What's in Secrets to Dog Training
When you download the system you'll get:
- The 260-page downloadable manual setting out Daniel Stevens' system for training your dog
- A 30 minute 'quick start' video introducing you to the system
- Access to a private members' forum where you can ask questions about your own dog, chat with other members and consult with the Secrets to Dog Training team.
Being able to ask questions is very beneficial and not something that you would get if you just bought a book or ebook on how to train your dog. All dogs are different and our lives are different. It's important to be able to get feedback on your dog's individual behaviour patterns and circumstances.
What other dog owners said
When you visit the site you'll see a lot of feedback from past customers. For example,
"In the months since we got and read the books [Jack] has become a different dog! … We have taken him from the most difficult, messed up dog, almost deliberately awful to a great member of our family." – Cara McLean
"What I like about your book is that you give insights into what the dog is thinking, why they behave the way they do, and tips on what to do to correct the problem." – Carla J. Johnson
"I would recommend it to anyone who cares about their animals." – Lyn Spain
Of course, they show the best ones there but this is a tried and tested system that's been very popular online for a number of years now.
I like the fact that there is a private members' forum where you can sort out any issues that you may have with your own dog. After-sales support is one of the most important points with any purchase, especially when you're buying online.
Why not go to dog obedience classes
Dog obedience classes can be helpful but there's a danger that both you and the dog will think of training as being something that only happens in a certain place at a certain time. It's easier to avoid that if you use a system that stresses training in everyday life with your dog.
One of Daniel Stevens' strongest points is that we are training our dogs all of the time, whether we intend to or not. It's vital to recognise that if you want your dog to adjust his or her behaviour.
You may have heard this before
Secrets to Dog Training has a lot of specific advice like this. Some of it, you will probably have heard before. But other points could bring about an 'aha' moment that could make a big difference to the way you and your dog relate.
For example, there's information on toilet training your dog. Maybe that's not something your dog has a problem with. I think it's still worth reading that section because you can pick up little snippets as well as getting a good overview of the attitude that Daniel suggests you take with your dog.
With a system like this, it's important not to write it off just because you see some familiar ideas. The point is that it's not enough to know what you should be doing with your dog. You need something that actually makes you do it!
If that's your situation, Secrets to Dog Training could work very well for you. You might love to know service dog training here
Don't expect your dog to change overnight
It's important to keep this in mind when you start on Daniel Stevens' system: it's not going to work instantly. After all, if your dog was that easy to train, you wouldn't have a problem.
It won't work if you get frustrated or impatient and start trying to cut corners or apply some other system that you've found. The number one rule in dog training is to be consistent. You need to keep doing the same thing over and over … and over!
If you're prepared to do that, then the benefits for both you and your dog could be huge. One of the best things that you'll hear from people who have successfully trained their dog is how much happier the dog is. When they know what you want them to do, they just feel so much more secure.
Where to buy Secrets to Dog Training
If you want access to the members' forum you must get Secrets to Dog Training from the official Kingdom of Pets website. This is the only way you can ask questions of Daniel Stevens, his staff and other dog owners who've had success with the system.
You're going to need to be able to ask questions. There might be something you don't understand, something that doesn't seem to be working or perhaps your dog or your own situation is special in some way. So make sure you get that, it's an important benefit.
The bottom line
All the evidence suggests that Secrets to Dog Training is a solid dog training system that works. With the added benefit of the forum, you should have a good chance of adjusting the behavior of even the most difficult dog if you apply the system consistently. The price is reasonable and you get instant access so you can start using it right away. More information at http://petstraininghq.com

Requirements Regard Convincing Voters Gallery
Regard for our Candidates
Policies, parties and personalities inspire American citizens to support or reject candidates. This was true in past elections and is certainly true today! Current media coverage provides the American people with great detail about candidates' lives, both public and private. How has this influenced our regard for candidates, today?
Many of our presidents experienced turbulent candidacies. Sometimes we marvel at the scandals and difficulties that surface during a campaign, and sometimes we just "love 'em."
Abraham Lincoln received a hand made chair and had songs written for him, just for being nominated. Conversely, his anti-slavery position aroused so much opposition toward the candidate as to cause Mr. Oliver Parker to write the following dire but prophetic prediction:
"...it will require on your part, if elected, the greatest vigilance and precaution to preserve, your life and health, and it is to that end, that I write, to give you due warning of what I fear."
Mrs. Huyck's tall tale reminds us that presidential candidates have been loved and loathed throughout our nation's history.
In spite of the horse's prediction, Democrat Bryan lost to Republican William McKinley in 1896. The following story, told by Mrs. Charley Huyck, recounts how William Jennings Bryan's candidacy was blamed for the death of a horse!
"Father had an old horse named 'Jim'....He was a Republican horse according to what happened. Several very strong [William Jennings] Bryan men ...were joshing father about the coming election and one of them declared that Bryan would be elected. They were standing near the barn and old 'Jim' overheard this remark. The next morning he was missed from his stall and nowhere in sight. A search was soon under way and 'Jim' was found dead in a neighbor's pasture. He had broke out of the barn and run through a barb wire fence and was cut so badly he died. The boys started the story that he was so disgusted at hearing about Bryan's coming election that he committed suicide."

| Category: Secure Content Management
| Published: June 2014
Mobile security should be granular enough that it provides IT managers with the flexibility to define and enforce policies which vary by position, department, geography, and security level. However, with the increasing acceptance of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD), it must also have the adaptability to enable mobile workers to use enterprise content in the way that best suits their position and work style.
Enterprise content mobility provides an essential layer of security and control for mobile computing, ensuring that greater convenience and productivity never comes at the expense of security. Collectively, MDM, MAM and MCM solutions - supported by solid policies and enforced by proactive IT departments - represent the key components of an effective, secure enterprise content mobility solution.
This whitepaper outlines the five best practices for maintaining the security of enterprise mobility. Read to learn more.

Gamers from all over Europe have descended upon Cologne, Germany, for Gamescom, one of the biggest gaming events in Europe. With all of the new games and consoles coming out, throngs of people vied for a limited number of tickets to get into Gamescom. In fact, the first day of Gamescom sold out in the first 5 minutes of the doors opening and the second day sold out just as quickly, too.
At the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 booths, gamers elbowed their way to see the new consoles and to compare their features. There has been lots of excitement, too, about the new unreleased games such as Titanfall, Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Elder Scrolls Online, Saints Row IV, Watchdogs, FIFA14, Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, Battlefield 4, and many more.
On Thursday, our own Alex Verrey presented our upcoming M.O.J.O. Micro-Console for Android with C.T.R.L.R Mobile Gamepad on the massive 2K Games stage. Alex also showed off the new Force Feedback Racing Wheel for Xbox One for use with racing games such as Forza Motorsport 5.
Despite all the awesome new games and products, however, it was the fans and the community that have really made Gamescom a huge and amazing event!
Check out some fun photos from Gamescom:

"Neil Gaiman: Comic Book Novelist"
Special panel at the 2007 College English Association Conference
March 29-31, 2007
New Orleans, LA
Deadline for submission: November 1, 2006
Neil Gaiman was first noticed by literary scholars for his work in comic books and graphic novels. Several articles and anthologies have been written about his landmark comic series, Sandman, and about his graphic novels. In the past 10 years, though, Gaiman has gained prominence as a novelist. He has authored five novels (Neverwhere [1996], Stardust [1999], American Gods [2001], Coraline [2002], and Anansi Boys [2005]) and has co-authored one novel (Good Omens [1990] with Terry Pratchett). Nevertheless, Gaiman's novels have received little attention by literary scholars. This panel seeks 10-15 minute papers that explore unexamined questions about Gaiman's novels. Although this panel will be open to any subject regarding Gaiman's novels, special areas of interest include:
--Theory of the fantastic
--Use of traditional formats in a postmodern world (e.g., American Gods as road novel, Stardust as pre-Tolkien fairy tale)
--Deities and faerie creatures as metaphors
--The interaction between reader and text/the real and the unreal
--Gaiman's portrayal of America (broadly defined)/Gaiman's portrayal of England
--Literary theories applied to Gaiman's novels (e.g., psychological, feminist, reader-response, etc.)
Abstracts should be 200-500 words, and should be submitted by November 1 at the following website: http://english.ttu.edu/CEA/conftool/index.php
For more information, please visit the following website: http://www2.widener.edu/%7Ecea/conference2006.htm

Resumo: Studies of in vitro blood flow behaviour in stenosis are essential not only as an attempt to understand this phenomenon, but also to develop microfluidic devices, as an alternative clinical methodology to detect blood diseases. Regarding a better understanding of the role that rigid Red Blood Cells (rRBCs) play in the blood flow behaviour, we have studied the trajectories and deformation of both, artificial rigid Red Blood Cells (arRBCs) and healthy ovine Red Blood Cells (RBCs), when subjected to a pronounced microstenosis. By using a high-speed video microscopy system, the present study was performed with different flow rates (1, 10 and 20 µl/min). The results have shown that healthy RBCs and arRBCs present deviations in their flow behaviour and deformation index, which might be a potential alternative clinical methodology to detect blood cells related diseases. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Cell-free layer (CFL) analysis in a glass capillary: comparison between a manual and automatic method Bento, David Pinho, Diana Pereira, Ana I.

Resumo: In this study, in vitro blood flowing through a 100 m glass capillary was studied. The images were captured using a confocal system and post-processed using Image J and MatLab. The aim of the present work, was to measure the trajectories of the cell-free layer (CFL) by using two different methods, i. e., a manual method (MM) and an automatic method (AM). For theMM we have used amanual tracking plugin (MTrackJ) from Image J to track labeled red blood cells (RBCs) flowing around the boundary of the RBCs core. For the AM we have used a MatLab scripts to measure automatically the CFL trajectories. The preliminary numerical results suggest that the CFL trajectories follow a polynomial function for both methods. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Sensibility study in a flexible job shop scheduling problem Curralo, Ana Pereira, Ana I.

In this work a real assembly cell was studied: the AIP-PRIMECA cell at the Université de Valenciennes et du Hainaut-Cambrésis, in France, which is considered as a Flexible Job Shop problem. The problem consists in finding the machines operations schedule, taking into account the precedence constraints. The main objective is to minimize the batch makespan, i.e. the finish time of the last operation completed in the schedule. Shortly, the present study consists in evaluating if the jobs order affects the optimal time of the operations schedule. The genetic algorithm was used to solve the optimization problem. As a conclusion, it's assessed that the jobs order influence the optimal time. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z An abductive paraconsistent semantics – MHP Abrantes, Mário Pereira, Luís Moniz http://hdl.handle.net/10198/10943 2014-10-22T01:01:01Z 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Título: An abductive paraconsistent semantics – MHP Autor: Abrantes, Mário; Pereira, Luís Moniz Resumo: In this paper we present a paraconsistent abdutive semantics for extended normal logic programs, the paraconsistent minimal hypotheses semantics MHP . The MHP is a semantics of total paraconsistent models wich combines the merits of two already existing semantics: it inherits the existence property of the abductive minimal hypotheses semantics MH [1], which is a semantics of total models, and the property of detection of support on contradiction of the paraconsistent well-founded semantics with explicit negation WFSXP [2], which is a semantics of partial paraconsistent models. The MHP enjoys also the property of simple relevance, which permits top-down query answering for brave reasoning purposes. Besides, the MHP lends itself to various types of skeptical and brave reasoning, which include the possibility of drawing conclusions from inconsistent models in a nontrivial way. The MHP coincides with the MH on normal logic programs, and with the WFSXP on stratified extended programs. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z

"Hi honey, this is John," he said in the message dated Sept. 11, 2003. "I'm in my dressing room and not feeling very well. I think I have food poisoning."
His widow – who brought the $67-million wrongful death lawsuit against two of the actor's doctors – also described their final conversation, the Associated Press reports.
"He called back and said, 'Now I'm having chest pains and the nurse is coming and they're going to take me across the street,'" Yasbeck testified through tears. (The actress is expected to continue recounting Ritter's final hours on Monday, when court resumes.)
Yasbeck – who met Ritter one the set of 1989's Problem Child – and the comedian's family are suing Dr. Joseph Lee, the cardiologist who treated Ritter the day he died, and Dr. Matthew Lotysch, a radiologist who administered the actor's body scan in 2001.
Scan Administrator TestifiesThe 8 Simple Rules ... For Dating My Teenage Daughter star died of a torn aorta at the age of 54. Lawyers for the late actor's family alleged that the cardiologist should have recognized the condition and that the radiologist should have detected an enlargement of the aorta. Both doctors dispute claims of any wrongdoing.
Lotysch, the scan administrator, testified Wednesday he met with Ritter for about a half hour after the test and told him he had triple vessel coronary disease and should follow up with a specialist. But Yasbeck testified that he never mentioned anything to her – and maintained that he wouldn't have kept that news secret.
She claimed that he showed her the scan results and said, "This is not bad for a man of my age," she testified. "He said, 'You'd better be good to me, because I'm going to be around for a long time."

North Fork Seed Library
Our History
In 2013, the North Fork Seed Library was given the People's Choice Grant Award and received a small grant from The North Fork Heart and Soul project, an organization dedicated to growing our local community. Numerous seed companies and community members generously donated hundreds of seeds to start the project. Dedicated volunteers and staff continue to work hard to sort, package, and label the seeds so you can have a rewarding gardening experience!
Our Vision
Seeds contain stories, recipes and a way of life that is passed from one gardener to the next. By offering a collection of heirloom seeds to grow, harvest, and return, we hope to inspire a community of growers who learn to save seed for continued and future use. We hope to encourage the discovery of nature thru gardening. By continuing the time-honored cultural tradition of seed saving, we hope to inspire a sense of heritage and a community of giving among local farmers, neighborhood gardeners, and anyone interested in growing food, herbs, and flowers.
Curious about how the seed library works? Take a look at our flyer and see how easy it is!

OUR Walmart Members Join the "Give America a Raise" Bus Tour in Illinois
Last week, on March 31, members of the Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart) joined U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, local elected officials, labor and faith leaders, and other low-wage workers in Chicago as part of the "Give America A Raise" bus tour. The bus tour, launched by Americans United for Change, is an 11-state tour to urge Republicans in Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10. Rose Campbell, a Walmart employee and OUR Walmart leader, spoke at a rally in Chicago about Walmart worker's struggle to make ends meet while earning a Walmart poverty wage.
"Americans agree that no one who works should live in poverty, yet the reality is that workers around the country earning minimum wage are living below the poverty line," said Rose Campbell. "It's long past time for Congress to give America a raise."
Since 2009, the federal minimum wage has remained the same but the price of price of food, gas, utilities, and basic necessities have dramatically increase due to economic inflation, making it nearly impossible to get by anywhere in America on $7.25 an hour or $15,000 a year.
A recent Public Policy Polling survey found that 63% of Illinois voters support raising the minimum wage to $10 – while only 33% are opposed – and by 11 point spread that they're less likely to vote for Senator Mark Kirk again if he opposes it.
"The Tea Party-approved voting records of Senator Kirk and Illinois' Republican Congressmen show that they're more interested in voting for minimum tax responsibility for millionaires and huge corporations that outsource jobs than helping hard working Illinois workers climb out of poverty and one rung closer to the middle class, said Brad Woodhouse, President of Americans United for Change. "Their priority should be providing a needed boost not just for the millions of struggling low-wage American workers that can barely survive on $7.25, but for the U.S. economy as a whole."
A new report out from Center for American Progress Action Fund finds that raising the minimum wage would increase wages for 1,127,000 workers in Illinois by more than $1.3 billion if the minimum wage is raised to $10.10, and it would generate more than $860 million of economic activity in the state.
The bus tour's Illinois stops included Chicago, Belvidere, and Springfield.

Something needs to be said about worker exploitation. My husband has put in a 24 hour day to complete his job. Regardless of receiving a evaluation recently describing how he exceeds expectations he received a coaching for being lazy because 1 mod was not on time. Human resources needs a makeover.

Come on, 24 hour day? Most people complain that they don't get enough hours.
Billybob 44April 28, 2014
He received a coaching for being LAZY? What does he expect when it takes him 24 hours to complete his job? Most people can complete their jobs in 5 to 6 hours!

Raising the min wage would put hundreds of thousands of people out of work. It is easy to improve your wages. Employers are crying out for good employees. If employers have to pay $10/hour, those who are now only worth $8/hour will not be the ones filling those positions, They will be unemployed.

The Oops Diaries: Gay Pollster's Role in Anti-Gay Ad
"Obviously, the Strong Ad didn't rescue Perry in Iowa. It's not clear anything could have at that point. But the attempt to hide [Tony] Fabrizio's role in the making of a notorious anti-gay commercial — to leak a fraudulent version of internal division to a national publication — is another reminder of how messed up Perry's campaign became."

Leahy hails bill to help with rape DNA testsThe Associated Press | January 01,2013MONTPELIER - U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy is hailing Senate passage of legislation aimed at reducing the backlog of untested rape kits throughout the country.
The Vermont Democrat, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, co-authored an amendment to improve a program passed in 2004 to reduce the national backlog of rape evidence kits awaiting testing.
Leahy says large numbers of untested rape kits have languished at police departments, never making it to a crime lab. He says the new legislation is designed to give police agencies the tools they need to reduce backlogs.

Went out to Paso Robles (and surrounding areas) this spring. The visit left me with a funny feeling about the region, so I held off on writing this blog post for way too long. Well, here goes.
On one hand, I still think Paso Robles offers some great value wines if you're looking in the $10-20 range. I wrote about the region way back in 2009, and I still agree with most of what I said back then. There are a few touchstone wineries in the area that offer benchmark wines. You'll find world-class bottles from Tablas Creek and L'Aventure. Big producers and negociant-style bottlers always give good bang for your buck, with plenty of values from brands that focus on selling wine and not building cache. Which isn't too romantic, but if you're like me and you're just looking for wine to drink…
On the other hand, there are a host of wineries in the region that focus more on tourism and a captive audience than getting their juice out to markets around the country.
See, Paso falls halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, in the Central Coast region of California. The area is known for hot days and cool nights, exactly the right recipe for ripe and balanced wines. The stereotype is that San Francisco people head up to Napa for the weekend, and L.A. people head on up to Paso. I asked some locals – at wineries, at a BBQ joint, and so on – and they agreed. To Paso's credit, the region still feels like an agricultural area with stuff to do, unlike Napa's heavily manicured, Disneyland-for-grownups vibe. So that's a plus.

Two Nebraskans, traveling back to Lincoln after a trip to Texas, died in a head-on collision early Sunday morning.
Justin Springer and Sheila Cronk, both 26, were killed after a Jeep headed the wrong way on a northbound stretch of U.S. 59 in Stafford crashed into their rental car at 2:30 a.m.
The driver, Rodney Armstrong, 45, of Houston, was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital, according to Stafford Police Department spokesman Raphael Virata.
Police are investigating whether alcohol was involved in the incident. Armstrong has not been charged, investigators said.
Springer and Cronk made the nearly 900-mile trip from Lincoln for a friend's wedding in Houston last week. They documented some of the journey on their Facebook pages.
Cronk worked at a rehabilitation hospital in Lincoln and Springer worked as a general manager at a retail store, according to their Facebook pages.
Springer expressed on Feb. 15 that he was nervous about his first plane ride, referring to the trip for the Houston wedding. "Only 9 days until I have the opportunity to burn to death if I survive the actual crashing of my first plain ride … if it crashes that is," he wrote.
The pair took a trip to Mexico while they were in the South. On Friday at about 5 p.m., Sheila wrote "Beaches and Mexico. Cannot wait."
Springer wrote jokingly on his wall on Friday, "Hey. We're not dead. So there's that."
Cronk replied along with several other friends, "We're still alive and kicking. For now. We're on our way to Mexico to shop!"
Springer posted pictures from the trip with Cronk posing happily and of the places they visited. They wrote that they drank margaritas and had fun. They even had a mishap with the border patrol Saturday on their way back.
Springer wrote at about 2 p.m. Saturday, "Well for the last four hours we were possible Mexican citizens. Disaster narrowly avoided."
Cronk's mother, Janet Klapperich Cronk, posted a Facebook note that shed light onto Springer's comment. She wrote Sunday morning, "I'm sooo relieved Sheila and Justin made it back across the border from Mexico safe … considering they didn't have a passport!!!!"
Only a few hours later, she linked an article about their death.
"This is my daughter Sheila Cronk and her good friend Justin Springer …. we just got the news early this morning….they went down to houston for a friends wedding."

What's driving job creation?
National efforts to improve our energy security, stabilize energy prices, and curtail climate impacts have created both the need and the opportunity to truly transform our transportation sector.
New fuel economy standards for cars and trucks will require auto manufacturers to produce models that consume far less gasoline and diesel. The federal government has already doubled the size of its hybrid vehicle fleet. The Administration is also seeking ways to meet the aggressive biofuel targets set in the federal Renewable Fuel Standard.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 included significant investments in advanced vehicle technologies. $2.4 billion was invested in transportation electrification through competitive grants in 48 different projects: $2 billion for manufacturing advanced batteries and components, $500 million for electric drive components, and $400 million for the purchase of plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles for demonstration purposes. In addition, $300 million was invested in a variety of other vehicles technologies through the Clean Cities Alternative Fuel and Advanced Technology Vehicles Pilot Program.
Where can I find classes or training?
DOE has also established the Graduate Automotive Technology Education (GATE) Centers of Excellence to develop a new generation of engineers and scientists with the necessary knowledge and skills in advanced automotive technologies. Currently, DOE supports GATE programs at eight universities—focusing on hybrid propulsion systems, fuel cells, advanced computation and simulation, energy storage systems, biofuels, and light-weight materials
The EcoCAR Challenge, which DOE also supports, is a three-year engineering competition aimed at promoting advanced vehicle technologies. Through the student vehicle competition program, close to 20,000 students have received hands-on engineering experience, and many of them have moved on to take jobs in the automotive industry, bringing with them an understanding of (and enthusiasm for) advanced vehicle technologies.
The National Training and Education Resource (NTER), developed by DOE, is a set of Web and learning technologies that offers free online training. In addition, DOE has K-12 lesson plans and activities. Below are NTER courses and K-12 activities that are available in the transportation sector:
- Lesson Plan: Cut Pollution & Save Money
- Lesson Plan: Transportation Fuels: The Future is Today
- Electric Vehicles: Plugging In to Smarter Energy Management
Workforce and Economic Need
Technology development: People in these professions will be the ones developing new and advanced vehicle technologies. These jobs primarily fall within various disciplines of engineering, such as chemical, materials, electrical, and mechanical.
Technology manufacturing: Many jobs are directly involved in the manufacturing processes for new vehicle technologies. These professions include machine operators, other factory workers, and industrial engineers.
Technology use: A broad range of professions are involved in the use of new vehicle technologies. These jobs include bus and other fleet drivers, automotive maintenance technicians, and fueling infrastructure installers.
Future Outlook
The following transportation related energy sectors job estimates are based on the Brookings-Battelle Study.
- Public Mass Transit has over 350,547 estimated U.S. jobs
- Battery Technologies has over 16,129 estimated U.S. jobs
- Electric Vehicle Technologies has over 15,711 estimated U.S. Jobs
For some employees in the vehicle manufacturing industry, the move to new vehicle technologies will have a minor impact on their job duties and require limited new training. Instead of a traditional car or truck, employees will be manufacturing new types of products with different technologies.
Jobs that are involved in technology development and use new technologies will require more training and new skills. For example, engineering schools will need to provide new materials in relevant courses, automotive technicians will need to learn how to repair and maintain completely new technologies, and installers must learn how to put in new types of fueling infrastructure (e.g., biofuel dispensers and electric chargers). Furthermore, bus drivers and other vehicle operators will need to learn how to efficiently and safely operate their new vehicles.

Steve Nash returned to familiar haunts in an unfamiliar route.
After his Los Angeles Lakers bus pulled past his old parking space, Nash headed down a hallway that circles the arena to the opposite of the home locker room. Nash stopped on a corner to greet media in a spot that was reserved for his post-practice sessions with the Suns.
Then, the reunion began. Nash headed into the Suns training room, where the athletic trainers, Goran Dragic, Jared Dudley and Channing Frye were among those reuniting with the man that made them and the franchise better for eight years before he tried to beat them.
His coaches have departed. Only five of his teammates from last season suited up for Wednesday night's game. But it was still a sentimental journey for Nash in his first return as a visitor to US Airways Center since joining the Lakers in July.
"There are the security guards, ball boys and season-ticket holders," Nash said. "There are a lot of familiar faces here regardless of the coaches and players that have departed. In that respect, it does feel like coming home, and I'm happy as much to see all those people again and say thanks."
Nash again revisited the remorse for how his summer departure went down, saying he could see the franchise might be wanting to head in a direction away from him for the two months leading up to free agency in July.
"I thought I would retire in Phoenix, but it's a difficult business to make any sort of predictions like that," Nash said. "It just became apparent in the last couple months before free agency that it wouldn't be a home run, and that's when other options started to become a reality."
Instead, Nash ended up requesting that the Suns help facilitate a sign-and-trade deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, a longtime franchise nemesis, so that he could be closer to his three kids in the Valley over faraway free agency options in Toronto and New York.
The deal has led the Suns' franchise into a rebuilding mode that sent the team to the bottom of the Western Conference without him.
"It's one of the great franchises in basketball," Nash said. "It's got one of the best winning percentages. I think it's got one of the best community relationships. It means the most to its city. It's a tremendous franchise. I wish them nothing but the best, and I hope the fans can have some great teams to get behind. This is a great building to play in when the team is playing well."
Nash has been replaced by Dragic, Nash's student when the Suns drafted Dragic. Nash saw to it that Dragic took over his locker.
"I thought it would be nice for me to pass along to somebody that means a lot to me and someone that I'm rooting for," Nash said. "Hopefully, it made him feel comfortable with the transition. I just thought it would be a nice gesture for a friend."
Nash said getting to play for his former Suns coach, Mike D'Antoni, again in Los Angeles has been "calming and exciting" for him. Their struggles with righting the Lakers' season had consumed him more than the idea of his first return to Phoenix. D'Antoni knew Nash would be emotional but also remembered him faring well with an 18-assist game when he first returned to Dallas.
"It's great to come back any time," said D'Antoni, who recalled messing up use of timeouts when he first returned with New York. "Obviously, Phoenix meant a lot to both of us, and just to have him on anybody's squad is pretty good. I'm pretty happy about it.
"It (the reception) will be great. There'd be no reason for it not to be. He meant a lot to the organization on and off the court."
D'Antoni spent part of the day catching up with former Suns coach Alvin Gentry, his former assistant and good friend who was dismissed by the team five games ago.
"It's tough to address just because he's a great friend and a good coach," D'Antoni said. "This business is really bad sometimes. To think you're going to get better by firing a good coach just doesn't make sense. But he's fine, he's great, he'll bounce back up and we go on and we do the job."

Some of France's wealthiest residents are leaving the country in fear they'll be required to pay substantially higher tax rates.
France's new socialist president wants a tax rate of 75 percent for those making more than a million euros a year, equivalent to about $1.25 million.
"A large number of wealthy french families are leaving the country as a direct result of the proposals of the new government," Alexander Kraft, leader of Sotheby's, a real estate company in France, told the London Telegraph.
He added that his company has seen an increase in home sales as a result. Sotheby's sold more than 100 properties priced over 1.7 million euros between April and June.
"Since the socialists came to power in France, I have been deluged with inquiries from rich French people who would rather pay their tax in Switzerland," Swiss tax consultant Giles Martin also told a local newspaper.
Inquiries for expensive homes in Britain have increased by 30 percent, according to U.K. estate data.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said he would welcome those from France wanting to move to Britain and pay taxes there.

I bought an Multiface 128 off ebay, missing the label.
It works with the 128 but I think it is an early version because it
doesn't work with my +D connected, when I press the button it crashes
the 128.
The PC board revision on my MF is 34 and the EPROM version is 87.1.
I burned a new EPROM using an 87.2 ROM I found on the net but it doesn't
work at all.
Is there any information on how to re-wire the MF to use IN and OUT
Ports $BF $3F?
Any schematics of the various versions of the MF128 or good pictures of
the PC board, with components removed?

The search for the perfect hamburger never ends. Time changes taste and availability. But what would be more appropriate in a place once noted on maps as "The Sandwich Islands"? The name was Capt. James Cook's homage to the English earl who allegedly invented the snack to keep hunger pangs from interrupting a chess match. Hawaii Nei a piece of meat between two slices of bread? Hardly!
Food is one of those cultural touchstones that often befuddle arrivals to Hawaii. There are tales of newcomers practically starving in the old days when faced with the likes of poke, laulau, squid, poi and all the "delicacies" from the Azores, Japan, China, the Philippines and other points east and west.
Eating habits are developed early. That means, for those of us unfortunate enough to have been born elsewhere, food that echoes what came off mom's stove. A breakfast cook once said, "Everyone wants their eggs the same way their mothers made them."
Midwest-conditioned, meat-and-potato tastes required considerable modification before unidentifiable "stuff" and rice at every meal became desirable. Some newcomers never do adapt, even after learning that refusing the offer of food is rude in the extreme.
So tiptoe around island menus. Eat anything that someone else eats but avoid learning just what that "anything" is. In the before days, "anything" included what was being offered as a "hamburger." This was in the days when little went on the meat besides mustard, catsup or mayonnaise. Usually all three at the same time to more effectively camouflage the meat.
Talk to Maui old-timers and you'll hear paeans to Lucy Goo's concoctions at her place up in Wailuku or the ground-round creations at the Maui Country Club. Newcomers found the former exotic, the latter comfortable. Others speak fondly of plate lunches eaten at Cupie's or Sheik's or Yama's - cheap meat smothered in brown gravy that also engulfed the mac salad and rice. Loco moco has to be an acquired taste.
There's a strong suspicion that old-time "hamburger" was a mystery meat. A half-century or so ago, store-bought hamburger was a ground-up hunk of the beef that was left after the butcher carved out the prime cuts. When times are tight, eat everything but the "moo." Creative island cooks could, and did, add pork and even rabbit to the mix.
The perfect hamburger begins with the meat. Maui Cattle Co. has it down pat - good cuts of local, range-fed pipi. At home or at the more discriminating eateries, hamburgers rely on the quality of the meat going on the grill. Once, at a retro diner in Kihei, the cook was complimented on his burger, done to a turn on a classic, sheet-metal grill. The cook, a local guy with a Hawaiian first name, smiled. "I figure if the cow gives its life, I should treat it with respect."
Once the king of cheap eats, the hamburger took on airs on Maui in the 1970s and the price went up, the arrival of national franchise fast-food dispensers notwithstanding. At about the same time McDonald's and Burger King restaurants were built in Kahului, Jon Applegate opened The Gnu Haven in the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center.
The Gnu Haven, in today's Koho's location, was the first place outside the resorts on Maui to offer half-pound, kick-the-crap-out-of-$10 hamburgers. My first experience with one of these deluxe burgers was some months earlier on Oahu at Ferdinand's on Kuhio Avenue. Midwest taste, if finances, satisfied.
In the early 1970s, the only other places on the resident side of the island where my Midwest taste was assuaged was the Harvest Restaurant next to the Woolworth's in the Maui Mall and at Webb Beggs' Gate 21 at the airport.
These days, big, expensive hamburgers are easy to find. The biggest difference seems to be all the junk that's been added to the beef - special sauces, thatches of lettuce, bacon, onion rings, you-name-it. Anything and everything that hides the taste of the meat. Order a salad if you want rabbit food. By way of full disclosure, there are a couple of items that can be added to good effect - cheese, jalapenos and a thick slice of vine-ripened, local tomato.
The best burger is a delightful wedding of cow and cook. Good meat, juicy with just a hint of pink in the middle. The best ones will run you $12 or so, not including tip. If you want more for less, get a hot dog and don't worry about what's in it.

To assess by self-reported participation in vigorous physical activity, the quantity and quality of school physical education, team sports, and television watching among 11 631 American high school students.
Of all students in grades 9 through 12, 37% reported engaging in 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity three or more times per week. Participation in vigorous physical activity was higher among boys than girls (P<.01) and higher among white students than among those of other races and ethnic groups (P<.01). Overall, 43.7% of boys and 52% of girls reported that they were not enrolled in physical education classes. Of the students who reported attending physical education class during the past 2 weeks, 33.2% reported exercising 20 minutes or more in physical education class three to five times per week. In contrast, rates of participation in varsity and junior varsity sports remained constant across grade levels, but participation in recreational physical activity programs showed a lesser magnitude and also decreased with advancing grade. More than 70% of students reported spending at least 1 hour watching television each school day, and more than 35% reported watching television 3 hours or more each school day.
Participation in vigorous physical activity and physical education class time devoted to physical activity are substantially below the goals set in Healthy People 2000. As students move toward graduation, we observed disturbing declines in participation in community recreation programs and overall vigorous activity. Students appear to spend considerably more time watching television than participating in physical activity. Public health efforts should focus on increasing the physical activity levels of our youth to enhance their current well-being and to reduce the risks of future chronic disease.(Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1994;148:1131-1136)

Tuesday, May 20, 2014
Citizens of Mount Pleasant showed their passion Tuesday night for preserving their towns ambiance and iconic Shem Creek scenery. They filled councils chamber to speak out about the proposed parking garage/office building at the corner of Mill Street and Coleman Boulevard.
This is a complicated and multifaceted issue involving building design, a height variance, a service license agreement for parking availability, a new building setback requirement and perhaps a few other big words. But what cannot get lost in government-speak is the heart of this matter, and THAT is the tension between the townspeoples vision of the community verses a different vision, whether its held by a developer or by their own municipal government.
While introducing his motion at Tuesdays meeting to rescind the towns agreement to pay about $2.8 million for parking spaces (spread over time), Councilman Gary Santos asked council not to bring in buildings not compatible with the area.
Council went into executive session to receive legal advice about the binding nature of its signed agreement, returned to open session, and heard impassioned statements from citizens. Joanna Ghegan said, Dont give in to pressure from developers. Former town councilman Jimmy Bagwell received rousing applause by saying, Shem Creek is one of the most wonderful places in America. This is not a good use of public funds.
Resident Jim Owens is emerging as grassroots leader in the effort, and he spoke as a pro-business, pro-property rights believer, asking council to keep Shem Creek eclectic and small-scale, as stated in previous reports and studies addressing the future of the creek.
After public comments, the vote was taken and only Santos voted in favor of his motion. The crowd of 70-100 interested citizens, which included former Governor Jim Edwards and his wife Anne, left in a stunned silence.
Councilman Paul Gawrych tells me that vote was only on the issue of that one motion regarding immediately rescinding the parking agreement.
He stresses it was not an up-or-down vote on the project at this phase in the process. Mayor Linda Page offers, In 2013, the town agreed to increase the height of buildings in flood zones that have parking garages. The reason being ground-floor retail that requires flood proofing is not economically feasible. All ground-level parking must be completely screened from view with architectural elements and landscaping.
They must also include features such as public art, a fountain, a bus stop or similar features. This text amendment affects approximately 10 properties.
She continues, I know some are waiting on the edge of their seats to see what we will do about this project. The next phase is for the developer to bring us a design for approval. I have full confidence that the town staff will ensure that this is not an eyesore but a building which is complementary to the area.
There is a possibility of public parking supported by our resolution or this may not be the case. This issue extends beyond a single vote, and while it may not be resolved tomorrow, the positive side of the outcry from the citizens should assure us all there will be more engagement in the future as we revise the Comprehensive Plan and determine our future as a community.
Meanwhile, social media is abuzz. The Facebook group Protect Our Coleman Boulevard and Old Village Neighborhood shows a steady stream of comments, some well-informed, some simply passionate.
The online petitions gather more signatures. The people demand to be heard, and they are right.
Despite a perceived defeat last Tuesday night, it seems our collective voices are having an impact, and through dialogue and engagement, there may be a window of opportunity for more substantial design revision of the proposed structure as it grinds through the process.

Want to know how much Blanka weighs? Or what Chun Li's blood type is? Then Street Fighter 2 is the game for you. The manual is full of this kind of stuff. Why? Nobody knows. It plays no part in the game itself, and not even the most ardent Street Fighter fans could think the characters are, well, real. (Oh no! Thousands of Street Fighter fans.) Oh, what a faux pas!
For the benefit of folk who've managed to steer clear of the consoles, the saturation advertising and every playground in the world for the last six months, Street Fighter 2 is a beat-'em-up. But that's not all! (Thinks.) Oh, yes it is. (Cough.) (I remember that joke! Coo, takes me back a bit. Ed) It can be played two ways - either you're a single character out to beat up all the others in turn, or you take on a friend head-to-head. Whichever game you play, you'll have to master a complicated control method which involves pressing buttons and moving joysticks in strange ways. At least it's a little different, eh? Oh, please yourselves.
The good, the bad and the ugly
Street Fighter 2 is crammed with good points, bad points and, erm, ugly points. (Congratulations! I take great pleasure in awarding you the trophy for Most Tenuously-Linked Headline On Page Twelve. Ed) It's as if two sets of programmers were employed - one lot, studious and talented, intent on coding the best conversion possible, and another group who, basically, are crap. Let's take a trip through the game to demonstrate.
Loading the program is a nightmare. It suffers from the worst ever Speccy multiload (yes folks, this 128K only game is a multiload... but it doesn't come on +3 disk). After loading the first bit, choosing a one- or two-player game, selecting your characters and the country they fight in, setting the difficulty level and defining the keys, you're presented with the message 'Start the tape'. No block names come up and there's no indication of which chunk of code the Speccy's looking for. So you have to let the tape run through the entire first side to pick up on the anonymous blocks the program wants. (Hope the two fighters you picked are near the beginning, because Street Fighter 2 comes on a C60 tape.) And, after the fighters have loaded, you have to turn over and load the background graphics (though to be fair, you can turn these off from the main menu). And, yup, you have to run through the lot with no idea of the section the Speccy is looking for.
Then! When you've finished your fight (which doesn't take that long) you have to rewind to the beginning of the first side (this is no joke, folks) and reload the entire thing to select your next opponent. Truly, a game where you spend more time loading than playing. Five words spring to mind: stupid, stupid, stupid. Stupid and STUPID. I had to snap various levels on to my +D just to save enough time to play the game. Ooo, I'm annoyed. (Better move on to the good points then. Ed)
Once the game has loaded (AARGHH!) and an obliging relative has woken you up, you can get on with the serious business of hitting somebody rather a lot. As we said in the preview a couple of issues ago, the graphics are very big (like Final Fight's) and very fast (not like Final Fight's at all then). The level of detail is, to be jolly honest, stunning. Rarely has a late-period Speccy game looked so good. And the artists haven't shirked on the backgrounds either - they're also packed with excitingly grouped pixels. The sound is okayish - some white noise thumps and crunches - but nothing special. Still, eh? (Well put. Ed)
As mentioned above, control is a mixture of button pushing and odd joystick movements. Apart from the obvious punching, jumping and kicking, each fighter has a load of secret moves. The trick is, you have to work out exactly what to push and pull in order to access them. Some are fairly straightforward - to make Ken punch up and knock out any jumping opponents you pull him down into a crouch, then hit jump and fire simultaneously - but the majority will only be found by twiddling everything in sight. (Have those notepads ready, folks.) In addition, the fighters have special attacks, like piledrivers, fireballs and so on. Luckily, the manual tells you how to do these. Phew, eh? Playing against a Speccy opponent, I very quickly got bored, gameplay being reduced to the oh-so-usual hit the buttons at random nonsense. However, with two players it's a whole different kettle of lemons.
It's a knockout!
Sample two-player Street Fighter 2 game: 'Ha!' 'Aarghh!' 'Oh, come on!' 'You rat!' 'I felt that!' 'You complete rat!' 'Bite yer head!' 'Rats!' 'Didn't see that one coming, did you?' 'I hate you.' 'Another go?' You get the idea. Because of the sheer variety of moves each player can make, a bit of strategy creeps in to the game in the form of deciding who's the best character to beat your opponent's champion. You find yourself trying all sorts of unlikely joystick combinations to try to unearth those secret moves. (There's nothing quite like unleashing a move that your opponent doesn't even know exists, heh heh heh.) It is, to put in non-YS, sensible language, incredibly good fun. Or, to put it in YS-y lingo, it's a stonking corker with marvy graphics and the elusive cherry of playability perched on top.
Even the atmosphere of corporate facelessness doesn't spoil the game. (Eh? Ed) Let me explain. (Oh good. Ed) The manual is quite smart, detailing most of the moves the characters can perform in a friendly and readable style. Then! When you load the game (AARGHH!) you get a message saying 'Due to machine limitations, this version may differ from examples in the manual.' So, erm, what you're saying then, US Gold, is that unspecified portions of the the manual are, erm again, useless. Or in other words, the profit margin wasn't enough to print a bit of paper saying 'So-and-so moves aren't available on the Speccy version' rather than leaving you to work out whether the move is really missing, or whether you're just not trying to access it properly. Well, thanks a bunch. (Steady on, Jonathan. Ed)
But enough of this scampish sarcasm. It's summary time! (Sound of small fanfare on plastic trumpets.) From the top - the one-player mode is very boring. Without another human player, the game is just another fight number. But! Grab that close friend and give 'em a joystick (using keys is far easier) and I think everyone will agree that Street Fighter 2 is highly playable and immense fun. What a tragedy then that it's been seriously injured (nay, practically crippled) by a horrible, asinine multiload system.
As with all beat-'em-ups it's a one-note game, but the diversity of moves and characters ensures it will last a good deal longer than most. (If your tape recorder can stand it.) Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to challenge Linda. She doesn't know about Zangief's spinning piledriver, and I'll feign innocence until (ar-har) she's in me power! (Twiddles imaginary moustache.) (Not so fast, you dastardly villain! You forgot that I have to check the page before it goes to the printers. Ed) Curses! Foiled again.
Stuart Fighter 2
Street Fighter 2 has stopped the largest number of passers-by since Invaders. Mostly the gawpers have been people amazed US Gold could fit the game on to the Speccy, but a few have taken up the challenge of actually playing the blessed thing and comparing it to the umpteen other versions around. Stuart Campbell and his haircut are just such a truly inimitable pair.
Okay, so Jonathan's pretty well covered Speccy SF2 as a game, but how does it measure up to the other format versions? Um... oh dear. The graphics are actually very close to the original (except colour-wise, obviously), but in all honesty the gameplay (which ought to be perfectly feasibly convertible) just doesn't cut the mustard. The Speccy is positively awash with keys, which ought to make recreating the coin-op's six-button control an absolute doddle, but the one-fire-button system used here doesn't work nearly as well as even the Amiga version, and the SNES leaves them both behind. Combined with the icky key responses, Speccy SF2 is more of a 'hit the controls at random and hope for the best' affair than ever.
A useful guide to Street Fighter 2 phrases
Although the Speccy version lacks the speech samples of the console programs, the manual handily prints all the things the fighters shout at each other. YS presents a short phrasebook that will gain you instant credibility wherever two console owners are gathered, as you interrupt their chatter by translating that enigmatic fightin' talk.
Ha do ken Hello, Ken
Tatsu maki sen pu kyaku I would like to purchase that oversized hamster. Do you accept credit cards? Please post my hamster in a tube to circumvent inconvenient quarantine laws.
Sho ryu ken Are you sure you're Ken?
Yoga nugie Yoda would like some nougat. (Baby talk.)
Shadoloo Follow that gentleman's convenience.
(That's enough Street Fighter 2 phrases. Ed)

If today's closing stock price is $14 or higher, PBCT hasn't reached that mark since July 27th 2010 (exactly 5 months ago).
Today is the day we break through $14 . From there the only way is up.
I'm still holding to my earlier prediction that PBCT common stock will reach $17+ by the middle of next quarter.

It's the little things, say Robert and Charlene Spierer, that hurt the most.
For Robert it's the flash of a blonde ponytail on a city street that leaves him aching; for Charlene it's the arrival of the cell-phone bill that still bears her daughter's name.
Nineteen months after Lauren disappeared, her boxes from college remain stacked against her parents' den wall. Long ago they gave up hope that Lauren might unpack them herself.
"I can't bear to move them," says Charlene. "I know they're just boxes. But I can't."
It's difficult for the Spierers to grasp that it's been nearly two years since Lauren, 20, a bright, beautiful sophomore at Indiana University Bloomington, left a friend's off-campus apartment after a night out partying and never returned to her own. In that time their lives have utterly transformed.
For seven months in 2011 they lived in Bloomington, helping coordinate search efforts and hiring their own private investigator. And last year they planned a wedding without her, celebrating in October the marriage of their older daughter Rebecca, 26. Yet as much as their lives change, the status of the search for their daughter remains the same.
"They're not getting the same frequency of leads," says Robert of the investigators working on the case. "It's frustrating because 19 months later we still don't have answers, and we still don't have our child."

Jaromir Jagr is without a contract to play hockey next season.
However, the Penguins — seemingly the team still closest to his heart — are planning to extend an offer that could be the first step on a path toward the grandest homecoming by a professional athlete in Pittsburgh since quarterback Terry Bradshaw symbolically rejoined the Steelers family in 2002.
The Penguins plan to invite Jagr to their annual summer alumni golf outing, which will serve as a reunion for members of the 1991 Stanley Cup championship club.
The Penguins have experienced difficulty getting in touch with Jagr. They are not sure if he received invitations sent to his KHL team, Omsk Avangard, to return for the final regular-season game at Civic Arena last year or the Winter Classic alumni game in December. General manager Ray Shero is attending the world championships and is expected to reach out to Jagr after the Czech Republic-United States quarterfinal game today.

What are secondary bile acids?
Deoxycolic acid and Deoxychenocholic acid
One OH group is missing from both
When are bile acids released?
Released into intestine during a meal - helps digestion of dietary lipids
What are the two set of bile salts that are formed from cholesterol?
Two sets of bile salts are formed from cholesterol:
1. Chenocholate
2. Cholate - Salt Form
What are conjugated bile salts?
They are formed in the liver and secreted in the bile. They are powerful detergents that break down fat globules, enabling them to be digested.
What amino acids are used to make conjugated bile salts?
Taurocholic Acid - Taurine
Glycocholis acid - Glycine
What is the functional advantage of conjugated bile salts?
They make better detergents.
Primary salts break down the FA molecules that easy to solubilize.
The secondary salts break down the FA's that are harder to solubilize.
The FA fats that are the hardest to solubilized are solubilized by conjugated bile salts.

Almost sixteen days until the trade deadline, so you better enjoy these last 16 days of Paul Martin's Penguins career HAW HAW HAW OK, not really…but there's more after the jump.
Paul Martin's 79 blocked shots lead the Pens and place him just out of the top 60 among NHL defensemen.
Sports fans by nature are irrational to at least some degree. Individually, we are all invested emotionally in our sport and our team. We learn to cheer for the jersey but we all have players we like more than others, sometimes for ridiculous reasons. Ask any fan to name their favorite player to ever wear their team's jersey and you'll get a definitive answer. Ask that same fan to name their LEAST favorite player to ever wear their team's jersey and you'll get an equally quick, equally definitive answer.
If fans are microcosms of the much larger fan base, then we see the same sorts of things on a larger level. Over the course of each season, some players emerge as favorites of the fan base. Conversely, from every season emerges another nearly-universal "Whipping Boy" or two, or 23 if you're the Blue Jackets.
Why don't you just kick my dog while you're here?
Every player at some point is subjected to some sort of criticism by his own fans of his play, and even the best players go through stretches of substandard play. What makes "The Whipping Boy" seems more rooted combination of struggling play relative to expectations and/or salary. And it can shift from year to year, as we've seen in the cases of Gonchar, Fleury, James Neal and maybe even Evgeni Malkin. Then again, fair or not, some players never seem to escape it – for example, Ryan Whitney and to a lesser degree Alex Goligoski.
This year, I suppose we can welcome Paul Martin to the club.
(Sidenote: Whitney. Goligoski. Martin. What the hell does our fan base have against American-born, offensively-oriented, left-handed defensemen?)
(That's a joke, by the way.)
(Second sidenote: We're dealing in generalizations here. Not every fan has bashed Martin or Whitney or any of the other aforementioned names. Again, generalizations.)
The Pens brought Martin aboard to play top-four minutes on defense and he's certainly done that, to the tune of 24 minutes per night this season. He doesn't have the shot from the point to replace what Gonch did, but he is a good puck-mover. Like Gonchar, he's also had a reputation as a guy who could skate the puck out of the zone or boost the transition game with a solid first pass. He was never much of a physical presence, but relied instead on his mobility and awareness in the defensive zone to compensate.
Martin's five-year, $25 million deal was the going rate for a top-four defenseman, but it still brought high expectations. To that end, Martin has struggled this year, perhaps even regressing from last season. His 23 giveaways aren't horrible by NHL standards; there are nearly 100 defensemen across the league with more. Martin, however, seems especially prone to rushing a pass or mishandling a puck when pressured. Those sorts of problems – especially the hurried passes that often result in turnovers – are reminiscent of the same sorts of puck management issues that plagued Ryan Whitney. And for some reason, Martin's turnovers seem to end up with the puck behind Fleury with annoying frequency.
On defense, Martin has found himself out of position more often than you'd like to see from a player with a reputation for sound positional defense. While he was never going to knock guys off the puck regularly, he seems hesitant to engage puck carriers deep in the defensive zone even with a stick check or board pressure. That's essential, as Bylsma's system is predicated on winning puck battles, gaining possession and moving it quickly out of the defensive zone. If teams can routinely get the puck deep and keep it there, it makes it all the more difficult for the Pens to "get to their game."
Martin may just be going through a slump. Some of the problems he's had this year scream "thinking too much" and "not making simple reads."
At worst, though, his struggles this year may be indicative of a player who is a bad fit for this system. It also happens. During his last couple of years in New Jersey, Martin was often paired with Bryce Salvador & Johnny Oduya. Salvador is very much a physical, stay-at-home defenseman; Oduya is a steady presence in his own zone thanks to very underrated smarts and skating.
Martin played in a system in New Jersey that was not as aggressive and did not emphasize pushing the puck as much as this one does in Pittsburgh. This may prove to be too much of an adjustment; not every player is cut out to play Bylsma's system.
The Pens already had a decent amount of depth on defense in the system when they signed Martin and Zbynek Michalek in the summer of 2010. Given that the next three summers will conceivably bring extensions for Sid, Geno, Staal, Letang and Fleury, chances were good that at least one of the Martin-Michalek duo would've been moved before the end of their respective deals. Oh, and that was before James Neal was even in the picture.
The accelerated development of Simon Despres may have moved that timeline up even more. But let's take the advice of The Wolf from Pulp Fiction for a second here. It remains to be seen whether Despres's knee injury set his game back at all, to say nothing of the fact that he's probably not completely ready for an elevated role this year. Moving Martin means giving Niskanen an extra five or six minutes a night, or bringing in someone from the outside.
Shero has some decisions to make. Chances are, he's probably ten steps ahead of this discussion right now.
Big stretch of games coming up over the next few weeks, as the Pens play a number of teams out of current playoff standings. Time to solidify the playoff standing.
Do it.

SARWAR : Renouncing the Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee's allegations that Pakistan is interfering in the Indian-held Kashmir, Chairman National Assembly Special Committee on Kashmir, Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar Khan has said that Pakistan is just providing moral, political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiris for their right of self-determination.
In a press statement issued in Islamabad, he said that instead of giving Kashmiris this right , India has killed around 65 thousand Kashmiris in its repressive actions and burnt thousands of houses and shops.
Chaudhry Sarwar also condemned threatening statements of the Indian leaders saying that Pakistan wanted to have friendly relations with its neighbours and resolve all issues including Kashmir with India peacefully but this should not be taken as our weakness.
PML-SPOKESMAN : A spokesman of Pakistan Muslim League has strongly criticised the recent statements of the leader of the opposition in which she has tried to viciously implicate the members of Pakistan's armed forces and judiciary in her husband's illegal relations with drug barons at home and abroad.
In a statement in Islamabad the spokesman said Benazir's recent panicky attempt to draw the people's attention away from her husband misdeeds was actually in response to the revelations made by the former SSP Karachi.
The spokesman said Ms. Benazir Zardari was trying to mislead the people at home and abroad with the sole objective of taking possession of her illegal wealth presently frozen by authorities in Switzerland and the UK.
The spokesman said, the former ruling couple stands fully exposed in the eyes of world opinion and Ms. Benazir's old tactics of side-tracking the issues will not restore her image either globally or domestically.
CONGRATULATIONS : Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has appreciated the efficiency of the pilot and co-pilot of the PIA's hijacked plane and termed it a great demonstration of courage and wisdom.
Talking to pilots of the plane on phone, the Prime Minister said every Pakistani is full of such spirit and has the courage of rendering any kind of sacrifice for the security and integrity of the country.
He congratulated the pilots and their families on their courageous attitude and said the whole nation is proud of you.
IBRAHIM : The Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan has expressed serious concern over the Indian unprovoked violence, indiscriminate firing and stepped up activities along the Line of Control.
In a statement issued in Muzaffarabad , AJK President called upon the world community and Islamic Ummah to take serious notice of hegemonistic designs of India towards its neighbouring countries.
PAK-RUSSIA : Pakistan will continue to make efforts for strengthening friendly relations and broad-based co-operation with Russia in all spheres of life.
This was stated by the Pakistan's Ambassador to Russia, Mr. Mansoor Alam, while addressing a conference in Moscow to commemorate 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Referring to the recent Indian nuclear explosions and its negative impact on Pakistan's security, the Ambassador hoped that the world will understand that any response of Pakistan would be entirely to ensure national security.
NAWAZ-PRESIDENT: The Prime Minister Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Tuesday called on the President Mr. Muhammad Rafique Tarar at Aiwan-e-Sadr Islamabad and discussed with him national security affairs in the wake of emerging regional situation.
They also discussed the situation arising out of recent developments in and around the country. They expressed firm resolve of the people and the government of Pakistan to continue to give top priority to the national interests in all circumstances.
CALL-ON: The President Mr. Muhammad Rafique Tarar has said that Pakistan is a peace-loving country and would never compromise on its national independence and defence.
He was talking to the Iranian Ambassador Mr. Muhammad Mehdi Akhundzade who called on him in Islamabad Tuesday.
The President said the Iranian reaction and concern on the Indian nuclear blasts is based on principle and rest of the world should also adopt the same stand. The President said the whole nation has expressed its gratitude to the Iranian point of view.
The Iranian Ambassador told the President that his country has shown concern on the Indian nuclear tests which have endangered the peace of whole region. He categorically said that Iran will support Pakistan at any hour of trial.
The South African High Commissioner in Pakistan Mr. Ismail Coovadia also called on the President and discussed matters of mutual interest.
SULTAN: Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry has said villagers living close to the Indian border have been armed with rifles to protect themselves against cross-border raids by Indian-sponsored terrorists.
Briefing foreign media on the prevailing situation on the Line of Control in Islamabad Tuesday, he said the situation is quite tense in the wake of nuclear threats by India and indiscriminate firing on innocent civilian population by the Indian forces.
He said that 160 village defence committees have been formed and his government has given them 2000 rifles to defend themselves in case of a possible attack by Indian soldiers from across the border.
KASHMIR: The All Parties Hurriyet Conference Executive Council has pointed out that the situation in occupied Kashmir has become very grave following appointment of Sexena as Governor, aggressive statements by Indian Home Minister L. K. Advani and the puppet Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, coupled with manifold increase in the military repression.
In a statement in Srinagar Tuesday the Council expressed apprehension that the Indian rulers have drawn out a plan to murder three senior APHC leaders. It said the plan had been devised after failure of the occupation troops to suppress the liberation movement of Kashmiri people.
The APHC made it clear that India would gain nothing by killing APHC leaders except invoking world-wide degradation and disgrace. The liberation movement, it declared, would surge ahead and the objective would be achieved at all costs.
DAR: The Commerce Minister Mr. Ishaq Dar says Pakistan got a very favourable response to its proposals to spread the benefits of the World Trade Organization for developing countries at its recent conference in Geneva last week.
Talking to newsmen in Islamabad Tuesday afternoon, he said Pakistans proposals related to identification of problems in the proper implementation of WTO objectives.
He said that he also raised the point pertaining to the abuse of anti-dumping laws and its politicising by the protectionist lobby in the textile sector.

The seminar was organised by the Rawalpindi Chambers of Commerce and Industry and Pak-Swiss Small Scale Enterprise Promotion Programme.
MUSHAHID : The Federal Minister for Information Mr. Mushahid Hussain Syed has directed Radio Pakistan to start an English service in its External Broadcasts so that Pakistans message reaches a wider audience.
Chairing a special meeting of Radio officials and broadcasters at the National Broadcasting House Islamabad Tuesday, he said External Service programmes should focus on Pakistans view point on current issues.
