Comments Thread For: Carl Froch - The Nottingham Sherriff Storms On
For the second time this year, 35-year old International Boxing Federation (IBF) Super Middleweight titlist Carl Froch (30-2, 22 KO) of Nottingham, England, played the part of human wrecking ball, laying waste to 32-year old Yusaf Mack (31-5-2, 17 KO) of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in front of a packed, rabid house at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham on Saturday night. Froch makes the first defense of the title he wrested from then-undefeated Lucian Bute in five devastating rounds in May of this year. Mack came into the contest rated #5 by the IBF at Light Heavyweight and suffers the fifth knockout loss of his career.

Froch should bin the IBF title & go after Ward. The fight should be made either in Europe or NYC. I don't think either have fought @ MSG, so what a place to hold it.

Ward won't come to the UK.
If, for whatever reason he did, he'd probably still UD Froch. Styles make fights.
Still, WAR FROCH!

I know people will be in here talking about Ward and that but do you know what, I don't care.
I'm proud of Carl, he ain't blessed with silky smooth slickness, he's rough and ready, but he's given it his best and achieved more than he had any right to
War Cobra!

War Froch! A well deserved soft-touch after perhaps the toughest string of consecutive opponents in the past two-three decades of boxing: (Jean Pascal, Jermain Taylor, Andre Dirrell, Mikkel Kessler, Arthur Abraham, Glen Johnson, Andre Ward, AND Lucian Bute...holy shiiiit) Finish the rematch clause with Bute then avenge defeat against Kessler IMO. Ward. He gets past those two guys he's in prime position to challenge Ward.

Condo foreclosure traumatic for surprised renter
A shocked Red Deer tenant arrived home recently to find the locks changed on her rental condo and foreclosure notices slapped on the door.
As her cats mewed helplessly from inside, Bailey Coltman tried to text her two daughters not to come home from school until she could explain the problem. But the teens were still "traumatized" when they discovered they had been locked out of their home.
It was a sad introduction to the holiday season for Coltman and her kids.
The local school bus driver and home support worker and her 15-year-old daughter are now staying at the Central Alberta Women's Emergency Shelter until they can move into a new apartment later this week. Coltman's 13-year-old daughter is staying at a friend's house, while the family's cats are housed temporarily at the SPCA.
"This has totally split up our family," said Coltman, who maintains her landlord — the condo's former owner — never told her the residence at 5502 58A St. in Riverside Meadows was being foreclosed by the mortgage holder, Home Trust.
Although the condo owners she was renting from since 2011 had known about the pending foreclosure since October, Coltman didn't find out about it until she was actually locked out at 2 p.m. on Nov. 30.
In fact, Coltman said when she dropped off the $800 rent payment for November with the landlord's daughter, nothing was said about them not owning the condo anymore.
"I left them my cellphone number, thinking they might call me to return the rent if they had any shred of conscience," said Coltman. To date, she hasn't heard from the condo's owner, Julie and Kim Tuong Tuong Mac.
The couple also did not return a call from the Advocate to give their side of the story.
After explaining her predicament to the new property manager, Coltman got brief access to the condo to move her cats and personal belongings out.
"I was very worried about where we would go. I didn't assume the women's shelter would have room for us," said Coltman. While she's happy the facility did temporarily take them in, she said being locked out of her home was a very traumatic — especially at this time of year. "I sincerely hope this is not a new Christmas tradition for us."
Coltman said she wanted to go public about her experience to try to prevent a similar thing potentially happening to her former landlords' other tenants, since they own other rental properties.
"The moral of this story is: Pay your bills," she added.
According to Service Alberta, there's nothing about foreclosures under provincial tenancy legislation. Even if there was, a court order would override legislation, said assistant public affairs manager Mike Berezowsky, who noted the court order issued on Oct. 23 should have specified who should be notified of a foreclosure.
Berezowksy wonders if Home Trust knew there was a tenant in the condo. A representative from the trust company could not be reached for comment.
If the landlord did not tell the court about her tenant and is keeping the November rent money, he encouraged Coltman to seek resolution through a civil court suit or through the provincial Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service.
"I hope there is some resolution for her because nobody should be without a home right before Christmas," he added.

It's not uncommon at all.
http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.co...+malabsorptionFructose is a particular problem. In one study researchers fed fructose to 15 normal adults. They found that more than half of the 15 adults showed evidence of fructose malabsorption after just 25g of fructose, and greater than two-thirds showed malabsorption after 50g of fructose.
Now let's stop beating around the bush and get to the meat of this post. It's all summed up in a beautiful title: Fructose Intake at Current Levels in the United States May Cause Gastrointestinal Distress in Normal Adults. Dr. Richard W. McCallum et al. fed doses of isolated fructose to 15 normal adults. Can I say it any better than the abstract?

AMD A10-6800K Richland Review
Alien vs Predator and Counter-Strike: Source
Published: 5th June 2013 | Source: AMD | Price: £116.99 |
Alien vs Predator
Moving on to Alien vs Predator, a benchmark based from the real game, we see far less difference between the two A10 APUs. Intel once again is far behind, showing that gaming on the HD2500 would be nigh on impossible.
The benchmark runs at the same resolution as your system, or 1080p in our case.
Counter-Strike: Source
Counter-Strike: Source is one of the most popular games out there, and it uses one of the most common game engines too. This should mean that our results from this benchmark can be extrapolated to other Source based games, such as Team Fortress 2 and the Half Life series.
With the in-game benchmark completely maxed out at 1080p we see great results from the APUs, with the Richland offering yielding an impressive 65FPS. So if you're into your Source based games then the APUs may be just the thing for you.

Good job on this review Josh! I was actually surprised. In the first page(not trying to be picky) I felt there were way to many commas. I ain't no English major but seems too many were used
Keep up the good workQuote
That APU seems like a great little chip, for the money!Quote
But I guess it makes more sense that this is just really a minor refresh, given that Kaveri is supposed to arrive towards the back half of the year.Quote
Bottom line - this is not a fair "real world test" who uses 1600mhz ram at 1333 mhz... REALLY.
I mean who even buys 1333mhz ram these days - NOBODY.
My conclusion is that you are just a bunch of intel lackeys...
Rerun the test fairly please.Quote
Josh did not have time to run faster mem tests, all results in this review we ran while he was here the other week. Adding in extra mem speeds would have required a: them all to match to be comparable and b: taken twice as long which was just not possible.
I can say in our testing 2133 was not achievable with the Richland APU on test today.Quote
Congrats on your first official review Josh
Nice to see the graphs in ascending/descending order as well, they looks so much better like that.Quote
Spotted a typo on the page title "Tomb Raider and Sleeping Sogs"Quote
I agree with you on the standardisation (eg all at 1333, all at 1600). But I think that in this specific case it would be unfair to not run the A10 at max (2133) and then bump the intel to 2133mhz as well as certainy for the Trinity A series bumping the ram from 1600 to 1800 yielded some neat results.
It's interesting that you say that the A10 was a no go on 2133... Any reason? Unstable?Quote
Well done write up. I'm glad to see AMD seems to be finally righting the ship and even tho they'renot making huge strides in performance gains, they're steadily getting better and better. I totally agree tho that they really need to address their power consumption. I think that's more of an Achilles heel for them than IPC.
Can't see the benchmarks tho cause Android doesn't do Flash anymore. Quote
Might we get a Hybrid Xfire bench at some point from it?
/edit understand you do not have quite the magic cupboard yet.. but worth asking at least edit/
small typo four paragraphs from bottom of conclusion,

Kaveri was confirmed today by years end. This looks like just minor changes to make the purchasers of FM2 happy.
It means we might be getting a taste of what Steamroller will really be like sooner rather than later.
They really do benefit from it!Quote
Personal opinion, you should have really tested at 2133MHz...
They really do benefit from it!

During the past ten years we have been interested in the bacteriology of the nonsensitive or asthmatic bronchitis type of asthma, since it is in this type that less is known concerning the cause; furthermore, this type seems to be infectious. Specimens of sputum from 724 patients have been studied during this time. It is during the changeable and cold seasons of the year that the majority of patients suffer from asthmatic bronchitis; therefore, the bacteriologic examinations have been made during the fall, winter and spring of each year since 1918. Consequently, this study was divided into nine periods, namely, the fall, winter and spring of each year since 1918.
Previous to this study, we were accustomed to classify streptococci into three groups, namely, Streptococcus uiridans, S. hemolysans and S. alpha hemolysans, but it was soon learned that this classification was not only confusing, but incomplete. It was confusing because

"She'll be fine," Ramona Singer told PEOPLE at GLAAD's OutAuction in New York. "She's a great girl."
As for her other castmates, well, they're being supportive by staying mum.
"The first person to speak about [the bankruptcy] has to be Sonja," Alex McCord said. "We love her and adore her and … we're going to support her by being silent.
Morgan, whose bankruptcy filing listed $19.8 million in debt, still seems to be staying positive, saying at the time, "My current monthly income including support is about $26,000 per month. And I expect this income to improve as new opportunities materialize."

How did you become interested in community service and why did you choose La Salle?
On a family vacation to Washington, D.C., I was shocked to see so many homeless people living on the streets. Being young, I didn't understand why they had no place to go and why they weren't being taken care of. Unable to find a satisfactory answer, I started my quest to do my part in making a positive impact on the world around me. I continued my service work throughout high school and looked for a college that excelled in community service opportunities for students. La Salle came to the forefront immediately. Upon visiting the campus, not only did I find an extensive outlet for service, but people who took the time to talk to me one on one about how to get involved. The kind and caring people I met on campus, the individual attention, and the nurturing environment confirmed this was the place for me.
How did you get involved with La Salle's service trips?
I got interested in traveling overseas and volunteer work at a young age from an older member of my family who had recently returned from Africa, where he was volunteering. This led to my becoming extensively involved with service in the Philadelphia region at a younger age. I wanted to take this to the next level in college. At La Salle, I have had the chance to take advantage of local, regional, and international service opportunities.
What have you liked and learned as a trip member?
The generosity you encounter from people you're serving abroad, despite the adversity they are facing, has been a lesson that has changed my life. A part of me will always miss the places I have been, knowing I've learned so much more than I can ever give back.

Learn more about Landmark Degrees
We Do Things Differently Here
The reality is that everyone learns differently. But, for many bright and talented students with ADHD, dyslexia, and learning disabilities, the mainstream educational system often is unable to meet their needs.
At Landmark College, we have created a unique learning environment that actively promotes individual success among students who learn differently. We help students learn in new ways, enabling them to become independent, self-directed learners and self-advocates.
While many colleges and universities now offer academic support programs for students who learn differently, none compare to Landmark's comprehensive mission and integrated curriculum. We're also the recognized leader in serving the unique needs of students with attention deficit disorders through our curriculum, assistive technology, and executive-function coaching.
Our programs are fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and our curriculum is as rigorous as any other institution of higher learning. We have a proven record of success in preparing Landmark graduates to transfer into baccalaureate degree programs at colleges of their choice.
How do we do this? At Landmark, we:
- Help students develop self-understanding by demystifying their own approach to learning and developing proven strategies at address their personal learning differences.
- Provide students with the support they need in and out of the classroom. At Landmark, there's no need to "fight the system" or ask for special accommodations. We show students how to become effective self-advocates and use supporting resources effectively.
- Constantly develop innovative and student-centered best practices in learning disability, ADHD, and ASD education—and share them with other educators—through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT).
- Offer a highly supportive, intensive, team approach to learning. Key to Landmark's success is our 5:1 student-to-faculty ratio—one of the lowest in the country.
Points of Entry
Our students are intelligent and have great potential, but some are not yet ready for college-level coursework. Placement assessment helps determine the best starting point for each student. All Landmark College students must have a diagnosed learning disability.
Credit Curriculum is for students who read and write at an entry college level or just below grade level. Within the credit option, students will be placed within either a reading comprehension and fluency-focus or an academic self-management focus
- Required Core:
FY1011: Perspectives in Learning
EN1011: College Composition and Rhetoric
- Two credit electives
Partial-Credit Curriculum is for students whose reading and writing skills are below college level. The partial-credit curriculum provides an intensive semester of skill and strategy instruction designed to help students prepare for the rigor of the credit curriculum. Assistive Technology is emphasized as a tool for accessing college instruction and assignments. Students take two non-credit, developmental courses to improve writing and study skills while also taking two credit-level courses—including the required "Foundations in Learning" and a credit elective such as Art, Math, World Language, or Physical Education. In order to move to the credit curriculum, students must pass their two required courses with a C- or better within two semesters.
- Required Core:
FY1001 (3 credits): Foundations in Learning
EN0911 (non-credit): Developmental Writing
- Two electives – non-credit and credit
Language Intensive Curriculum (LIC) is a non-credit, one or two-semester intensive program for students with significant difficulties in reading and writing and who are reading and writing well below college level. The LIC emphasizes the use of assistive technology such as the required Kurzweil text reader and Dragon dictation software to help students develop skills and abilities that will be required in the credit program. Students take three developmental courses in writing, reading comprehension and communication, plus a reading decoding class using the Wilson Reading system. Students who enter the Language Intensive Curriculum must be interested in learning and using the many technology tools that will become part of their repertoire for interacting with credit-level classes in subsequent semesters. In order to move to the partial-credit or credit curriculum students must demonstrate reading, writing and technology proficiency within two semesters.
- Required Non-Credit Core:
FY0111: Developing Study Skills & Reading Comprehension
EN0111: Fundamentals of Writing
CO0111: Language and Communication
DS0111: Wilson Reading
Summer Programs
Landmark offers Summer Programs to help students discover and practice academic skills and strategies that improve their ability to learn. Students are not required to have a diagnosed learning disability to participate in our summer programs.

- Transition to College Program prepares recent high school graduates for their all-important first semester in college.
- Visiting College Students can earn up to six credits during the summer session while developing effective learning skills and strategies they can apply at their college.

Q&A with Mavs GM on 'The Week That Wasn't'
Q&A with Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson on 'The Week That Wasn't' in Dallas.
DALLAS — In
Dallas Mavericks GM Donnie Nelson's first and so-far only full-length interview after 'The Week That Wasn't,' on 105.3 FM-The Fan, he answers our questions about DeronQuest, Kidd's flipflop, Nash-to-LA, Dallas' 'inactivity,' 'The Plan(s), 'Shark Tank' and most important, the future of Dirk Nowitzki.
"He's a Mav For Life,'' Donnie says.
The DallasBasketball.com/FOXSportsSouthwest.com Donnie Q&A … on the Mavs' Top 10 Issues of the Moment:
1: On the subject of seeming "inactivity'' ...
Donnie: "We're sluggin' it out in the bowels of the AAC. There are lots of things on the board. We hope (there are helpful transactions to be made). We'll have to see how it plays out.''
Our Reaction: The Dallas Mavericks did indeed hunker down in the AAC basement all day Friday and will pretty much do the same thing for the rest of the month. We'd be disappointed at anything less than 100 percent ... though that "Shark Tank'' controversy does beg for further explanation. Which we get below ...
Now, Donnie said the words "bowels'' so who among us won't follow up with snickering "Beavis & Butthead''-like wordplay?
2: On the subject of the failed DeronQuest ...
Donnie: "It was tough. We thought we had a good chance. ... It was a tough decision (for him) and a close call. I can't tell you at the end of the day what the main reason was. Maybe it was the excitement of a new city or arena.
"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Listen, that happens in sports, in business, in life. You've got to pick yourself back up and get back at it. Which we immediately started doing.''
Our Reaction: Among the things Dallas was selling that Deron Williams didn't buy: The supposedly negative aspects of the Nets' Joe Johnson signing. We can argue that that Deron "got drunk'' on the fun of fresh signings of Joe and Gerald Wallace. The Mavs can argue that those signings were not CBA-wise. Dallas' failure to make Deron see things their way constitutes a Mavs failure.
It's impossible to discount $77.35 million vs. $98.77 million, though, too.
But yes, that happens in sports, in business, in life. Now comes "The Next.'' (For exclusive details on that, check out DB.com's one-on-one visit with Mark Cuban - "The Seven Deadly Sinners'' -- here.) But first, one more puzzler ...
3: On the subject of Cuban's absence at The Pitch while he was instead in LA filming "Shark Talk ...
Donnie: "(Cuban) couldn't control the scheduling and he'd made a comment. But more than that, Deron requested a basketball conversation. Mark signs the checks and was all-in on this deal. It was unfortunate that it didn't work out but it (Cuban's absence) didn't make a difference. It was mostly an Xs-and-Os meeting that Rick and I handled because those are the things that Rick and I handle for the Mavericks.''
Our Reaction: The Xs-and-O's portion of that explanation makes complete sense, and we were told about that angle early in the week. The commitment to "Shark Tank'' is so difficult to swallow that we damn sure hope it turns out that Cuban was also in LA doing other "big fish'' basketball business.
Yes, the Nets owner wasn't in the country for their Deron pitch and the Heat owner wasn't in the country for their Ray Allen agreement and billionaires have many irons in the fire. But for many observers, this "Shark Tank'' perception doesn't sit right and this reality doesn't sit quite right, either.
4: On the subject of trading Dirk ...
Donnie: "No. It's not in the cards. He's got a no-trade clause and we would love for him to retire a Maverick. ... He's a Mav for life.''
Our Reaction: This is the biggie. We would like this to kill all such discussion. Dirk is MFFL. There is a hole in the boat. Women and children are getting off. Dirk is a man. He's grabbing an oar. Nowitzki does not need our pity (he is just 12 months removed from hugging Larry, you know). He is not a sympathy case.
He's a man. He's a champion. And all parties involved fully intend on Dirk Nowitzki being a Mav For Life. We really should celebrate and embrace that.
5: On losing out on the Plan B of Steve Nash ...
Donnie: "When you make these decisions, a lot goes into it and everyone is different. With Stevie we had a nice presentation but he wanted to be close to his family while making a run for the roses. Three years was something that was important to him and at his age it was a heck of a deal for him.''
Our Reaction: The Mavs never "lost'' Steve Nash; he wasn't theirs to lose. (Well, unless you count eight years ago). Fact is, Nash's choice of LA over Dallas was driven by a number of factors, including his desire to be close to his children (with his ex-wife now based in Phoenix. But note Donnie's mention of the "importance of three years.'' That suggests that the Mavs offered two years.
That's CBA discipline. Might turn out to be a winner in Year 3 of that contract when the Lakers are stuck. But it constitutes a loser right now, for Year 1, because in Year 1 of Steve Nash's LA contract, LA looks capable of absolutely crushing Dallas on the court.
6: On more moves ...
Donnie: "We've got a lot of lines in the water.''
Our Reaction: This, DallasBasketball.com can confirm. Dwight Howard talks with Orlando occured as recently as Monday, DB.com has reported. The Odom $8.9-milion TE is a valued asset, we and the Mavs believe. Kidd and Jet could be sign-and-traded away for little pieces. And there are other clever ways beyond "Today's FA List'' to be considered. (Though the Sessions, the Cambys and the Randolphs are still in play.) Winning the sealed bid on amnesty'd Sixers big man Elton Brand is among those.
7: On MFFLs "staying onboard'' ...
Donnie: "It's never comfortable when you have guys like Kidd and Jet leaving the team, but it's the reality. We've been criticized the last few years for being too old, so maybe it's time for an injection of youth.''
Our Reaction: We don't want "youth'' if the "youth'' doesn't have "talent.'' Even if this is deemed to be a "throw-away year'' with a roster full of LIBB's, we've already got a D-League team in town. We don't need two of 'em.
Unless, that is, you're planning a full-out Spurs-for-Duncan tank season. Among the problems there: What if "Sammy Superstar'' is made available to you in training camp? Or at the trade deadline in February?
8: On the media suggestion that Dirk "advised'' Kidd to book for the Knicks ...
Donnie: "Dirk has nothing to do with it. It's Jason's decision. The reason we overextended on Kidd (with a three-year offer) was so he'd have the opportunity to end his career where it started. He's been a special player for us ... To have a true point guard is important to any franchise and important to a player like Dirk. We're appreciative of Jason and what he did, but we've got to move on.''
Our Reaction: Simply put, Dirk did not "advise'' Kidd to believe. He accepted Kidd's decision to go elsewhere. He gave Kidd "his blessing'' AFTER Kidd's decision was made, not before.
One more time: Dirk's not a ship-jumper. He's an oar-grabber.
9: On the subject of being surprised by Kidd's flip ...
Donnie: "It's a really personal thing. He went back and forth on this thing. It was really a gutbuster for him. Family certainly has a place. There are a lot of reasons. I don't feel slighted in any way. We gotta take our hats off, shake his hand, and wish him nothing but the best.
Our Reaction: The Mavs were stunned by Kidd's agreement to sign with Dallas followed by his phone call to inform them that he would instead head to the Knicks. It is a "betrayal''? Nah. It's a business, as Donnie says. But it truly might be a referendum on Dallas overrating it's "culture.'' We'll examine that further in the coming days.
DONUT 10: On the idea of "Just Do SOMETHING!'' ...
Donnie: "The worst thing we could do is sign players to ruin our flexibility in the future. Doing that would be the real disservice to Dirk. … We'll be down here (in the AAC basement) for some more hours and days, maybe months, but we're not gonna rest until we get this thing right.''
Our Reaction: Donnie's point is that signing Michael Beasley for $8 million or signing Brandon Roy for $5 million aren't moves that help Dirk win another title ... so instead, they actually clog Dirk's path to one.
It can easily be argued that this last week is about as painful as anything Mavs fans have endured in The Cuban Era. The 2007 collapse against Golden State? The 2006 NBA Finals against the Heat? This week ranks.
But Donnie and the Mavs don't have time to mope. There is only time to get this thing right.

Annie H Darracott 791, UDC - Lakeland, FL
member for 6 years, 2 months, 9 days
Add to MyFriends
Bio and Links
April 1861 marked the beginning of the War Between the States. One month later, Annie Hanna was born to John and Athalinda Hanna. John enlisted in the Confederate States Army in November 1861 and served as Private in Co. B, 4th Alabama Infantry.
He was present at many battles in Virginia and served as litter bearer. Athalinda sewed coats for Confederate soldiers and served as Chief Nurse at the hospital in Madison, Georgia.
John and Athalinda are buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Jasper, Florida.
Annie married Thomas Jefferson Darracott and the family moved to Lakeland, Polk Co., Florida in 1895. Annie became a civic and patriotic leader going on to become the founder of the Lakeland Chapters of United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1904, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and The National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century. She proposed and spearheaded the effort to erect a Confederate monument in Lakeland's Munn Park in 1910. The figure of a gallant Confederate Soldier now stands as a memorial to all who served the Confederacy.
The Lakeland Chapter of UDC changed its name in 1945. Now the Annie H. Darracott 791 chapter of UDC remains committed to these objectives: Historical, Educational, Benevolent, Memorial and Patriotic.
Annie went to heaven in 1956 at the age of 95. She is buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Lakeland, Polk Co., Florida.
We honor her memory, her leadership and her dedication to UDC.
Each of the Confederate veterans in our virtual cemeteries are in at least two cemeteries. One designating the state he served from, and one designating the state he is buried in.

William F. Avera - CSA
Good Morning and thank you for all you are doing on Find A Grave Memorial and thru you UDC work. I am the Commander of the Arkansas Division, SCV and past National Chairman of SCV's Graves & Monuments Committee. During my term we established the SCV's Confederate Graves Registry (CGR). A free site, open to the world at:
I'm interested in Find A Grave Memorial #90878144 for W. F. Avera and the flowers that were left stating he was the recipient of the Southern Cross of Honor. Inquiring minds need to know more. How did you discover he was awarded the Southern Cross of Honor. Our UDC in Arkansas published a book Record of Recipients of the Southern Crosses of Honor (we know the list is incomplete) and I do not find him listed there. I am always seeking to know more about our Confederate soldiers and that is why I ask how you discovered he was awarded a Cross - does it say which UDC chapter presented the cross or does you source have any additional information. I am truly interested in knowing more. Please feel free to share the link to the SCV CGR website with all of your friends. Deo Vindice!

Both served in Virginia regiments, are buried in Mercer county, WV (formerly Virginia.
I would appreciate that, and thank you.
There are other memorial numbers that could be added, but they would be others who are not ancestors, though some are related.
You might wish to add this non-related veteran, who served with the Cld. in Kentucky,

Another Noob
Hey, I decided I wanted to become a part of a programming related forum, so this one looked pretty awesome!
I bought a beginner's book on JavaScript a while back, but web page coding didn't seem to have many thrills. I signed up for a beginner's programming course in high school this year, and I just finished it a couple months ago. We only did Visual Basic 6.0, but I found I could do a lot more "fun" stuff with that language.
So anyways, I'll probably be posting mostly in the VB section for now, although I intend to be posting in the C++ section once I teach myself the basics.

Make room on the shelf for another book about local history.
Written by author Robin Van Auken and published by Ogden Newspapers, parent company of the Williamsport Sun-Gazette, "Sunday Grit: A Newspaper Legacy," is the fourth volume in a limited edition, commemorative series about area newspapers.
Richly illustrated, the new 136-page book features nearly 200 images, many never seen before.
Article Photos
W. Ross McKnight, above left, oversaw Grit's Circulation Department. He is credited with helping to boost the circulation, thanks in part to his appreciation of women and his ability to motivate the two dozen who worked with him.
Van Auken traveled to Grit headquarters in Topeka, Kan., and acquired hundreds of historic photographs and memorabilia that were saved when the newspaper was sold to Ogden Publications Inc. Although Grit still exists and is published by Ogden, the glossy magazine targets a rural audience. Grit publisher Bryan Welch returned the photographs to Williamsport for the Sun-Gazette to curate and incorporate into its current collection.
Readers of "Sunday Grit" will enjoy the dozens of newly discovered photographs that form a virtual tour of the company and its employees during the early 1900s, as well as local news stories, advertisements and interesting features. Reminisce with beloved features like Odd, Strange and Curious, Aunt Beth's Chat, the Golden Rule Club and Do You Remember?
For more than 100 years, the weekly newspaper delivered news, features, fiction, coupons, and comics to families across the nation. One million children have sold "Grit," some for a few weeks, some for several years. Many look back with satisfaction on the experience when, as young entrepreneurs, they knocked on the doors of small-town homes and were welcomed with a smile and a dime for a weekly edition of homespun good news.
Fact Box
"Sunday Grit: A Newspaper Legacy" is available at the Williamsport Sun-Gazette for $24.95. It can be purchased if pre-paid by contacting the Sun-Gazette at 1-800-339-0289, by stopping by the newspaper at 252 W. Fourth St. in downtown Williamsport. Or, you can submit on-line orders at www.GritBook.com. Visit Grit magazine at www.Grit.com.
In addition to the national Sunday edition, "Grit" also recorded local timely events and celebrated family and community through good times and bad. Many of its stories and photographs are endearing and touching portraits that have chronicled the region's progress and misfortune.
The newspaper's origins were as a Saturday edition of the "Daily Sun and Banner" published in 1882 in Williamsport. It was a short-lived venture, however, and in less than two years, Dietrick Lamade bought the enterprise. A typical "Horatio Alger-type," he sought and found opportunity in the creation of one of the miracles of modern publishing.
Lamade was born in Goelshausen, Germany, one of nine children of Johannes and Caroline Lamade. His family moved to Williamsport where, on Jan. 1, 1869, Johannes Lamade died from typhoid fever. The day after his funeral, his widow bore their ninth child. At the age of 10, Deitrick Lamade, along with his older brothers and sister, quit school to support the family and worked as an errand boy for several years. At the age of 13, Lamade began working in the office of "Beobachter," a local German-language publication. He earned $3 per week.
In 1882, Lamade went to work for the "Daily Sun and Banner" as its advertising compositor and assistant composing room foreman. There, he typeset the first head for "Grit." Two years later, he left the "Sun and Banner" to help revive "The Times," a weekly publication that was scheduled to become a daily. Its owner, however, lacked the money to continue.
Now 25 and unemployed, Lamade had a wife and two children to support. He later recalled this as the first time he envisioned the opportunity of his life. Lamade gambled, and with two partners and a combined investment bought the name "Grit" from the "Sun and Banner" to use for his new publication.
The first year of "Grit" was one of adversity and uncertainty. The newspaper owed more than it was worth and seven business partners came and went. Lamade did not lose faith. He knew that he would have to improve the newspaper's circulation, then about 4,000, if the paper were to survive.
Lamade interested new subscribers with contests and drawings. He traveled throughout Northcentral Pennsylvania, using a lottery to stimulate statewide circulation. He convinced storeowners and news agents to carry the publication, and his tireless efforts more than doubled circulation. His dedication saved the newspaper.
By 1886, "Grit" boasted a weekly circulation of 14,000, and all of its bills were paid in cash. With a $400 surplus, Lamade and his partners shook hands, patted themselves on their backs and gave themselves raises from $12 to $15 a week.
"Grit" moved into its new home at the corner of William and West Third streets in 1891. Circulation averaged 53,000 copies weekly in most states east of the Mississippi. Lamade began using direct mail and hired newsboys throughout the country to sell the paper. By the start of the 20th century, circulation reached 100,000, and then tripled by 1916. By the late 1970s, its circulation was more than 1.2 million.
"Grit" thrived on Lamade's concept of "good news" and by appealing to small-town American traditions. He once said: "Wherever possible, suggest peace and good will toward men. Give our readers courage and strength for their daily tasks. Put happy thoughts, cheer and contentment into their hearts. By such a course we can do much to improve the minds and lives of the millions of people who read 'Grit' every week, and bring them a higher realization of their duties in life."
The unity of thought, purpose and effort that existed between "Grit" and its employees is found in few industries. From the first day Lamade acquired "Grit," he never overestimated himself. He gathered about him the best men and women, calling them his "Grit" Family.
Growing from three employees (himself included) to more than 250 in its Williamsport office, plus hundreds of correspondents and thousands of delivery boys and girls nationwide, Lamade's newspaper never reduced wages and never missed a pay day for any of its employees - even during its infancy and the Great Depression.
"Sometimes we had to borrow the money back again from the men to operate the business," Dietrick once said, "but we never really missed a pay day."
"Grit," he added, "did not simply grow of its own accord. No one works for Grit. We all work with Grit."
'Grit' Continues
The little newspaper that could, "Grit" gained its popularity by appealing to small-town Americans. It remained under the management of the Lamade family for most of its run. Lamade died on Oct. 9, 1938, at the age of 79, a beloved figure mourned by many, and his descendents remain prominent today in Williamsport.
His son, George R. Lamade, then general manager of "Grit," became its president. Another son, Howard J. Lamade, served as vice president and secretary. Four grandsons also were in the business.
"Grit" became a tabloid Jan. 2, 1944, and color made its first appearance in the Family Section on July 21, 1963.
Production costs spiraled, and circulation dwindled. In 1990, the Lamade family sold "Grit" to Stauffer Communications in Kansas. The publication's format changed to become a monthly magazine. Then, in 1994, Morris Publishing purchased it. In 1996, it became a holding of Ogden.
"Grit" is a nationally distributed magazine distributed every other month to about 100,000 customers. It continues to appeal to its largely small-town readers with positive, human-interest stories. Readers continue to submit its features, which include articles about gardening, hobbies and crafts, inspirations, unsung heroes, unique retirement pastimes, travel and pets.
"Sunday Grit: A Newspaper Legacy" is available at the Williamsport Sun-Gazette for $24.95. It can be purchased if pre-paid by contacting the Sun-Gazette at 1-800-339-0289, by stopping by the newspaper at 252 W. Fourth St. in downtown Williamsport.

After being pelted with a flour bomb for wearing what appeared to be fur, Lindsay Lohan got public support from an angry Samantha Ronson.
"The girl who threw [the flour] acted like an animal herself," Ronson, 30, says on her MySpace blog. "I take that back, it's an insult to animals to group her in with them, my dog is FAR more civilized than that person."
She adds: "I think there are plenty of families that could have used that flour for a meal. Nice job, lady."
A member of People for the Ethical Treatment Animals threw the powder at the Mean Girls star, 22, as she arrived at Paris's VIP Room Theater in the early hours of Saturday with Ronson. The nightclub's owner helped Lohan dust off her blue sequined dress and the apparent black fur stole that sparked the activists' ire before she posed on the red carpet.
"It's a pity that some groups feel the need to assault people as opposed to fighting with words," Ronson writes. "Whenever I feel the need to vent about something that feels unfair to me I reach for my computer, I don't run out of the house with abusive intentions. I don't expect everyone to react the same way, but I do expect people to respect each other."

Former Dukes Bowen, Collet and Fernacz Inducted into WPIAL Hall of Fame
June 6, 2014
PITTSBURGH - Three former Duquesne volleyball players who attended Baldwin High School were inducted into the WPIAL Hall of Fame in a ceremony held at the Doubletree by Hilton Pittsburgh Green Tree on Friday night.
Cassie Bowen, Robin Collet and Julie Fernacz were all teammates on the Fighting Highlanders' 1989 squad that went 51-0 and won both the WPIAL and PIAA titles. Even more impressive is that the team dropped only two sets the entire season, going 118-2. The team was coached by former Duquesne women's basketball coach Paul Hindes.

During the last 9 years Sunflower has undertaken dozens of GP surgery and Private Clinic refits throughout the UK including complete refurbishments of consulting rooms, treatment rooms and minor surgery facilities. We incorporate the latest NHS advice on design and layouts and are full conversant with the requirements of Health Building Notes (HBN's) and Healthcare Technical Memorandums (HTM's) including HBN00-10 Parts A, B and C, HBN00-09 Infection Control in the Built Environment, HTM61, 63, 64 and 71 and advice on infection control, hygiene and cleaning including the use of correct materials and finishes. Our layouts and completed work are in line with, and acceptable to, the ever tightening requirements of CQC (Care Quality Commission).
The solution we offer for your surgery is robust, designed for the purpose and will outlast standard "kitchen" units with only a small initial premium that is more than repaid during the extended life cycle. We expect, with reasonable care, that the installation will look as good as the day it was installed even after 10 years of daily use.
Please see below a selection of recent GP surgery and Private Clinic refurbishment projects we have undertaken including before and after photos.
When leading liposuction surgeon, Dr Nazar Kazzazi, wanted a new private clinic designing and fitting in Doncaster he chose to place his trust in Sunflower Medical Ltd.
Sunflower designed and presented room plans for a minor operations suite, clean and dirty utility, post-operative recovery room, recovery rooms and staff facilities including a disabled toilet area and a GP room. These designs were passed via CQC for comment before Dr Kazzazi gave Sunflower the contract.
Sunflower used Health Building Note00-03, HBN00-09 and HBN00-10 Part A, B, C as guidance combined with the relevant Health Technical Memorandum Standards, including HTM61 and HTM64.
The conversion included liaison with fire depts., alarm companies, building contractors, electricians as well as project management of the fitting using Sunflower employees. The net result is a modern, efficient and easy to clean environment for Dr Kazzazi's procedures and his business.
When Mike Robinson, the practice manager at Rotherham Road Medical Centre had a pipe burst at his surgery he knew to call Sunflower Medical Ltd to refurbish the rooms as he has worked with us before and knew our capabilities. After a site visit to review the job a detailed plan was drawn up of both that treatment room and consultation room. Healthcare Building Note HBN00-03 was used for guidance and a layout was developed that satisfied Mike and the GP's that use the room. The 2 rooms were completed by Sunflower's skilled and experienced tradesmen with the minimum of fuss and noise in a mere 5 days.

John Williams' "Hedwig's Theme"
I selected "Hedwig's Theme" for this month's Exclusive Cover after my good pal Millsap randomly climbed onto a roof one day, with his saxophone, and proceeded to serenade the town from high above. A friend joked that he should dress in Gryffindor attire and riff off the Harry Potter soundtrack, and thus, this video was born!

From Places to Flows? Planning for the New 'Regional World' in Germany
John Harrison
Loughborough University
Anna Growe
Technical University of Dortmund
January 1, 2010
European Urban and Regional Studies, Forthcoming
Recent decades have been dominated by discourses describing a resurgence of regions. Yet despite its prominence the region remains a largely Delphian concept. In the period of new regionalist orthodoxy, for example, while it was recognised that regions take various forms, the normative claim that we were living in a 'regional world' became narrowly focused on regions as subnational political units. Nevertheless, the emergence of city-regions, cross border regions, and European Metropolitan Regions suggests the formation in this century of a brave new 'regional world'. With economic, social and political activity increasingly orchestrated across and beyond bounded regional spaces, the literature is adorned with accounts advancing the theoretical and policy rationale for relational approaches to regions and regionalism. Yet far less has been written on the struggle to construct these spaces politically, thereby neglecting questions of territory and territorial politics. With this in mind, our paper draws on the experience of Germany to consider the political struggle to overcome the contradictions, overlaps, and competing tendencies which result from these new regional spaces appearing alongside, rather than replacing, existing forms of state scalar organisation. In particular, we discover and analyse how the Federal State is using the ambiguity of the regional concept to present territorial and relational approaches as complementary alternatives. The paper concludes by relating these findings to ongoing debates on how we as 'regional' researchers should approach the analysis of regions and regionalism and speculates on the degree to which they form progressive and effective spatial policies.

What happens when a girl is resistant to getting active? These tips will provide you with the pertinent information to get girls to be physically active and help guide them to a healthier lifestyle.
Much of our research indicates that lack of physical activity is directly related to increased pregnancy, delinquency, obesity, truancy and increased risk taking (use of drugs and alcohol) among school-aged girls. In correlation to the studies providing choices of leisure has promoted successful life skills such as utilizing positive coping skills, increased sense of self, reduction in risky behaviors and increased goal setting. Research suggests that physical activity is an effective tool for reducing the symptoms of stress and depression among girls. Bottom line: sports help girls in all aspects of their lives.
But what happens when a girl is resistant to getting active? These tips will provide you with the pertinent information to get girls to be physically active and help guide them to a healthier lifestyle.
Physical activity is anything that requires movement of your body and increases heart rate. Working out on a regular basis (at least three days a week) will make you strong, increase energy and flexibility and turn you into a physically active person. Whether you engage in light activity like throwing a Frisbee or more vigorous activity like running, you are still engaging your body in movement, and that's what matters. Activity is composed of three levels:
Beginners, regardless of age, should start easy and build to regular, moderate activity. Regular means just about every day. Moderate exercise is when you are active enough to increase your heart rate and breathing for an hour. You should be able to talk to someone, but you shouldn't be able to sing. With more skills and training, regular moderate and vigorous activities should be part of your routine.
At an early age, young women are programmed to shy away from sports and activity because they are afraid of being perceived as unfeminine or are afraid of failure or being teased. We can turn those attitudes around. Barrier: "I'm not an athlete." Many inactive girls think that the world of physical activity is black and white: you are either a jock or not. Some girls believe that unless you are going to go all out or if you're just not a "natural," there is no use in being active. The label of jock can be perceived as unfeminine or possibly just a clique that they don't want to belong to. Girls need to be reminded that it's ok to work up a sweat, get your heart pumping and challenge your body. What you can do: Encourage her. Tell her that you don't have to be a hard-core athlete to get up and move (and follow this advice yourself!). There doesn't have to be competition involved to be physically active. Also, reinforce that no one is ever born an athlete. Even champions had to start at the beginning and learn how to play their sports. Barrier: "I'm afraid of getting teased." This is such a vulnerable age, and girls are very sensitive to peer-group influence. "Fitting-in" becomes a primary goal so girls don't want to try anything new that steps outside of the world they already know and are comfortable in. This is especially true of girls' participation in sports or even just their school's PE program. Girls fear that stepping into a game might make them a target of ridicule. What you can do: Understand and identify with her fears and talk to her about them. Girls want to fit in and be accepted. Sports can be all about belonging — being part of the group — with team names, uniforms and cheers. Most of us remember how nervous we were about our junior high and high school classes. Many of us also have funny stories to tell about embarrassing things that did happen and how we got over them. Ask her what her worst fear is. Maybe she's nervous about wearing the gym uniform or having to climb ropes in front of her classmates. One she identifies the worst-case scenario, you can discuss how you would deal with this and take away some of her fears. Or share something that happened to you and let her know it really wasn't a big deal. Barrier: "I don't know anything about sports." Girls may worry that their lack of knowledge about sports or physical fitness will make her look dumb when she attempts to play. They also may not know what sports are available to them. Even if they do know, they might not feel confident or capable enough to be proactive and sign up on her own. What you can do: Teach her the skills to be successful. Start towatch different sports together so she can understand the rules and how different games are played. Learn the sports lingo. Go to a local girls' sporting match so she can see that girls just like her can master the skills needed to play the game. Experiment with different sports until she finds one that comes easily for her. If she has good hand-eye coordination, maybe softball or tennis is her game. In trying different sports, she may be surprised in how great she is at a sport she never thought she could master. You also don't want to rule out sports just because she may not be the perfect physical match for it. For example, she could be on the shorter side and end up loving basketball.
Debby Burgard runs a nonprofit organization called The Body Positive, that works to help teens and children with body image issues. She believes that fears about embarrassment (that we discussed above) can get in the way of embracing being active. "Most people have negative experiences in junior high PE class or at their gyms that get in the way of them believing they can have fun exercising," Burgard said. The best way to combat this is to move in ways your body and personality-type enjoy. You may envision yourself as a hard-core athlete, but have a mellow personality more suited to yoga. Overall, it's important to try to make every encounter that a girl has with activity a positive one. Here are some easy tips on keeping it fun:
The most important thing you can do to inspire a girl is to make everything a team effort. A girl is more likely to be active if her parent, guardian or other key adult in her life is active. Let her see you working out, sweating and making physical activity part of your life. Be a real-life hero as she sees you jogging that extra lap, attempting that 3-point shot, striking that yoga pose. There are a number of ways you can emphasize that you are in this together:
Once you have a girl involved with physical activity, it's important to maintain and develop her interests. As most of us know, pre-teens and teens can get easily bored and need some variation and incentive to stay engaged. Plus, it's important that girls develop a lifelong love of being active. Women who are active in sports and recreational activities as girls feel greater confidence in their physical and social selves than those who were sedentary as kids. maintaining the momentum and providing motivation to stick with it:

After bulling through March with strong spending despite the sequester, Pentagon contract awards fell off a cliff in early April. And what little money there was to spread around was often showered upon non-traditional recipients such as Madison Avenue advertising firm Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG ) .
So what's really going on over there in Washington today? Is defense spending stalled, or will it rise again? And what does this mean for ultra-low-P/E-bearing stocks like Boeing (NYSE: BA ) , Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT ) , Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC ) , and General Dynamics (NYSE: GD ) .

The Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) has donated a defibrillator each to the villages of Skerne and Wansford.
They will be installed as soon as possible at the village hall in Wansford and at Broadmead House, West End, Skerne, home of Billy and Sue Waites.
The defibrillators are life-saving pieces of equipment aimed at helping heart attack victims until an ambulance arrives on the scene.
They are designed to be used by any member of the public and are very sensitive so will not deliver a shock to a patient who has a heartbeat. The cabinets can only be opened by punching in a code which the ambulance service will disclose on receiving the emergency call.
When both cabinets are installed, Trish Kilner, of YAS, will hold a familiarisation session for members of both villages. This will not be a
training course as none is needed to be able to use one.
The session's aim will be to allay any fears people might have in using a defibrillator and (as it says on the tin!) to familiarise people with the equipment housed inside the yellow cabinet. Coun Lynn Stockwell said: "The Skerne and Wansford Parish Council hopes the defibrillator will never have to be used but it is very grateful to YAS - just in case."

Getting the best results out of your company advertising budget can be a challenge. Many businesses set an advertising budget based on annual or projected sales -- but paid advertisements may not always result in sales if they don't reach your target customers. When designing a marketing campaign, keep in mind that your efforts don't end when you place an advertisement. Ask customers where they heard about your business, and check your website stats daily to see where visitor clicks come from. To minimize wasted advertising dollars, discontinue ads that don't yield profitable results, and intensify efforts that bring in customers.
Look for free opportunities to have your company featured in local media publications. Having your company mentioned in local media can provide valuable publicity. Write a press release announcing your business launch, or about new features offered by your business. Generally speaking, local media run regular stories about area small businesses. Contact local radio and television stations and newspapers, and ask them to produce a feature about your company.
Offer satisfied customers incentive to use word-of-mouth to spread buzz about your products or services. When you deliver outstanding quality for a fair price, you can expect customers to share their experience with other people. Save money on internet advertisements by inviting customers to post product reviews on your website. Give customers discount coupons for reviews and for referring other customers.
Make video demonstrations of your products and upload them on your website. A video that you create yourself showing customers how to use a product can be more effective than a paid commercial that talks about your product. Look for an affordable video camera that allows you to shoot footage and upload it to the Internet with little or no editing.
Create free accounts for your company on social media sites and invite your customers to follow you in return for perks like advance notice of sales. Share interesting content about your business to keep customers engaged and to attract new customers.
Delegate company website maintenance to an internet savvy employee if you don't have the knowledge or time to do it yourself. Websites with out-of-date information about products and services can discourage interested customers. Make phone and email contacts easy to find, and respond to questions promptly to convert inquires to sales.
Attend networking events for community businesses to interface with other entrepreneurs. You can gain access to many business networking events by joining your local Chamber of Commerce. Chambers of Commerce charge modest dues for members, but, you can save money on business to business advertising when your Chamber networking activities result in sales leads and referrals.

The new media is struggling with how to handle delivering the news in the middle east, at least when it comes to pronouncing the name of the newly elected French Prime Minister.
As Europe struggles to contain its debt, broadcasters in the middle east are struggling to decide how to pronounce his name, Jean-Marc Ayrault. His last name, when pronounced correctly in French, is a slang world for penis in Arabic. Originally used in Lebanon and Palestine, it is widely understood throughout other Arab countries.
News outlets have decided differently, some pronouncing it as the prime minister does -- "ai-roh" -- while some resort to voicing the "L" and "T" in the written word.

The family of Dominick Calhoun has advocated passionately for the law in the two years since the 4-year-old was beaten to death in Argentine Township.
The state House last month unanimously passed bills 5562 and 5563 -- sponsored by state Rep. Joseph Graves, R-Argentine Township, and state Rep. Matt Lori, R-Constantine -- and the Senate approved the measures today, according to hte Legislature's website.
Brandon Hayes, the former boyfriend of Dominick Calhoun's mother, was found guilty in January of first-degree murder and nine other counts. Dominick's mother Corinne Baker pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Hayes was sentenced to two life sentences in February, while Baker received 13 to 30 years and will also serve 2 to 4 years for second-degree child abuse.
The legislation create penalties for committing child abuse in the presence of another child, strengthens penalties for first- and second-degree child abuse.

One could characterize the difference between the West and the Rest as a difference in epistemological principles. The desire for knowledge, no matter where it leads, inherited from the Greeks, has led to an institution unequaled—or very rarely equaled—outside the West: the university. Along with research institutes and libraries, universities are, at least ideally, independent academies that enshrine these epistemological norms, where we can pursue truth in a spirit of disinterested inquiry, free from political pressures. In other words, behind the success of modern Western societies, with their science and technology and open institutions, lies a distinct way of looking at the world, interpreting it, and recognizing and rectifying problems.
Moreover, other parts of the world recognize Western superiority. When other societies such as South Korea and Japan have adopted Western political principles, their citizens have flourished. It is to the West, not to Saudi Arabia or Iran, that millions of refugees from theocratic or other totalitarian regimes flee, seeking tolerance and political freedom. Nor would any Western politician be able to get away with the anti-Semitic remarks that former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad made in 2003. Our excusing Mahathir's diatribe indicates not only a double standard but also a tacit acknowledgment that we apply higher ethical standards to Western leaders.
After all of the element provided in this article; Do you still has any doubt about which is the best? I have no doubt "The West is The Best"]]>

WASHINGTON - "They got their boy back, I guess," Jayson Werth said a little after 1 p.m. yesterday, finally exhibiting the bitterness that Cliff Lee would reference in a similar press conference a few hours later, as he accepted the kind of contract the Phillies were unwilling to offer their departed rightfielder.
"When he found out I was coming here, he wasn't the happiest person in the world," Lee said a few hours after the Nationals introduced Werth in a sponsored and orchestrated affair that took the "press" out of press conference.
Fondues, upscale food, and Lexus-sponsored goody bags were handed to well-dressed men and women as they entered a downstairs restaurant at Nationals Park. Aired live on their flagship station and the MLB network, the event began and ended inside of a tightly planned 23-minute package, as the well-fed and well-dressed watched and listened to the proceedings through a wall of glass.

Often times it's easy to tell how active an offseason a team is having simply by what constitutes as "breaking news" during those summer months. Wednesday afternoon Thomas Vanek was the talk of the town with recent comments regarding his future with the Blue & Gold. Shawn Stepner from WKBW tweeted out a rather disheartening quote from Vanek who had been practicing in his former collegiate home of Minnesota. The quote that sent shockwaves across the social sphere was as follows:
Cue immediate awe, devastation, bewilderment, astonishment, anger, frustration and any other synonym you care to insert here. Most Sabres faithful (myself included) were down right PO'd at our Austrian stud for being so forthright with a member of the media in regards to his feelings on the team he's been with since 2004. Perhaps Vanek needs a lesson from Bill Belichick and company over in New England on how to properly address questions regarding your future with a team. Be vague, say your concern is with winning with the team you're are with and conclude by stating that everything else is out of your control. Whatever you do don't say something that'll make headlines even if it's the truth.
Regardless, he said what he said and you'd think of course this constitutes as big offseason news. A star player is unhappy with his current team's direction, which only adds fuel to the fire that is trade speculation. Only problem? We had this exact conversation three months prior…
If you felt like you were having deja vu while reading Vanek's latest statement, that's because you were. Back in April as the Sabres cleaned out their lockers after missing the playoffs for the second straight year (and fourth time in six seasons) Vanek gave an eerily similar statement to the media concerning his future in Buffalo: "If it looks like it's a long rebuild, then it probably makes sense for both parties to move on." Wait a minute, you mean three months later in the midst of a very quiet offseason, Vanek's opinion on the team hasn't changed?!? Blasphemy!
In all seriousness though, what did people expect? It's not like the team has gone after any big names or even made very many character-building moves. It's been quiet, and quiet isn't good for a guy that's frustrated. The one saving grace in all of this somber negativity? The fact that Vanek's most recent quote didn't end there.
I'm sure it's awfully surprising to hear that journalists tend to tease a story with whatever quote will draw eyeballs. In this case, tweeting out to Sabres fans that Vanek thinks Buffalo isn't the best place for him causes people to react. The problem is instead of clicking through to actually read, or in this case watch, the interview in it's entirety, people draw their own conclusions and sensationalize to the point that the original meaning of the story gets lost in the fallout.
After finding myself perturbed by Vanek's lack of subtleness, I did the unthinkable and watched the whole interview. Yes folks I took just over three minutes of my life to understand what a guy was saying in the proper context. Low and behold the rest of the statement pretty much nullified all this buzzworthiness.
While I implore you to watch the entire interview for yourselves, I'll give you the Cliff's Notes version here. Immediately after his supposed "nail in the coffin" about wanting out of the 716, Vanek finished that very same sentence by stating: "but at the same time there's a lot of good, young players and hopefully, you know, we picked the right ones." The reporter went on to ask if there was any guarantee Vanek would be in Buffalo come opening night. Vanek brushed the question off saying he was preparing to go back to Buffalo and was in no way flattered by having his name constantly discussed in trade rumors. He pretty much summed up the actual tone of the interview when he said: "I've enjoyed my time in Buffalo and I'm looking forward to going back."
My point in all of this is that we are often times too quick to pull the panic switch. Is there some reading between the lines necessary when players give interviews? Of course, but you also can't rely on a single headline either. Maybe Vanek does end up playing with his old pal Pominville in Minnesota, or perhaps he stays in Buffalo and leads the team to a Stanley Cup title. The point is we don't know what will happen. All we can do is take the info we're are given and run with it, but we need to run with ALL of the information, not merely the flashy parts. Just make sure next time one of the player's is quoted as saying they "want out of town," the rest of the quote that wasn't featured doesn't end with "for vacation."

What does it take to find a state funded drug rehab?� Your best bet if you are in the United States (or anywhere for that matter) is to get out your local phone book and get on the phone and start calling up local drug rehab centers.
You should be asking them at least the following few questions:
1) Do you know of any other local drug rehabs or alcohol treatment centers in this area or in surrounding areas?� Do you have their phone number handy?� This will allow you to lengthen your list of calls to make and allow you to get more information and more options eventually.
2) Do you have a state funding agency number that I could call in order to get funded for your drug rehab?� What do I have to do in order to secure funding for treatment there?� What are my other payment options based on my insurance, Medicaid or Medicare status, and so on?
3) What are my options for getting into your treatment center if I cannot secure State funding?� What are my alternatives?
If you call up all of the local rehabs in your area and also make sure to pick their brains to pick up other rehab centers that are around then you should be able to quickly learn what it is going to take to get you into rehab.
photo credit: Andrew Stawarz
Now obviously this will vary quite a bit from state to state.� In some states they may have plenty of funding available, whereas in other places they may not have any, or what they had might have been all used up by now.
Another variable is that some funding agencies cannot fund you due to special circumstances.� Most cannot if you have some type of insurance or make a certain amount of money each year.� It also may depend on whether you need detox or not, or if you are just looking for inpatient care, or may just counseling, and so on.
Another thing they may look at is how many times you have already been funded for rehab in the past.� Sometimes they will put their foot down and say "no more," basically.� Other times they will have plenty available and let you use more funding anyway.
So the bottom line is that you need to get on the phone and do your research.� Call the rehabs up and ask lots of questions. If you are persistent then hopefully you can get the help that you need.
Many people have some preconceived notions about rehab that are not necessarily true. �For example, they think that:
* Everyone is entitled to free drug or alcohol rehabilitation, regardless of whether or not they have insurance.
* Everyone who is in need of rehabilitation should be able to walk into any treatment center and check in immediately.
I work at a drug rehab center and I hear these two ideas over and over again. �The problem is that neither of them are true. �What this means for you is that you need to get a clear understanding about both of them right now, and use that baseline of knowledge to help you get into a facility.
Treatment is not free; it is actually quite expensive.
Walk-ins to rehab are not the norm, in fact, most schedule people well in advance and still have a constant influx of new clients.
Keep both of these facts in mind when you are calling up treatment centers and trying to secure funding. �Be realistic and keep your emotions in check. �The people at the treatment centers do want to help you. � Work with them as best you can and they will help you to find a path that will change your life.
