Kentucky State Police and the Scott County Fire Department continue to investigate the possibility of a meth lab explosion at a mobile home fire in Harrison County, near the Scott County line.
According to Scott County Fire Battalion Chief Robert Hutchins, the department received a call about the burning mobile home at 913 Fields Lane around 10 p.m. Tuesday night.

A downtown eyesore is coming down.
At last Tuesday evening's city commission meeting, city attorney John Lair said a judgment has been reached regarding the building at 213/215 S. Main St.
Lair said the city can now begin the process of demolishing the building.
But despite what Lair said he considered to be a quick judgment, he added that the demolition work will not be easy.
The building is not free-standing and is connected to the building currently housing the Department for Juvenile Justice.
Sheila Currans was recently awarded the title of the Chamber of Commerce's Businessperson of the Year.
There's only one problem.
Currans doesn't think of herself as a businessperson.
"I'm a nurse first," she said.
Despite a comfortable chair in her CEO office at Harrison Memorial Hospital, she would much rather be walking the hallways and making the rounds.
"That's the best part of my day," Currans said.
For over 40 years, 3M Company has been a major force in Harrison County's economy. With its recently announced $4.2 million investment in an expansion project, state and local leaders consider it proof that 3M will retain that force.
Gov. Steve Beshear made the announcement last Thursday along with 3M plant manager Ann Getting that 3M will be reinvesting in its Cynthiana property.
Community members gathered Monday evening for Champions for a Drug Free Harrison County's sixth town hall meeting at the Cynthiana Christian Church.
"Public safety is job one," said Fayette County Commonwealth Attorney Ray Larson.
Serving as the town hall meeting's keynote speaker, Larson said five percent of the population is committing about 80 percent of the crime.
"The main purpose of government... is to do all that it can to guarantee the safety and security of its citizens," Larson said.
Cynthiana Police Chief Ray Johnson said it was supposedly an argument with his girlfriend that made a Harrison County teen vandalize at least seven cars on Monday night, including Johnson's.
Although no charges had been filed for the alleged vehicle damages as of press time Wednesday morning, Johnson said the teen was charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol.
Six of eight defendants on last Thursday's circuit court docket who had been indicted for drug-related charges on Jan. 5, changed their not guilty pleas to guilty.
According to court records, the five men and one woman will be back in court on April 20 for formal sentencing.
The individuals were arrested on charges related to Operation Flamingo Road, which was the largest drug sweep in Kentucky history. Well over 500 warrants were issued state wide.
Eusebio Torres-Torres, aka Porfrrio Torres-Mendez, 34, of Mexico, was indicted Thursday, May 6, for illegal re-entry by a previously deported alien, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's office.
The indictment alleges that Torres-Torres, an alien who had previously been deported on Oct. 7,2004, unlawfully entered the United States at Harrison County, Ky.
See this week's Cynthiana Democrat for more on ths story.
Incumbent sheriff Bruce Hampton, by all indications, will be back in office for his sixth four-year term.
Hampton led the primary election by a narrow 108 vote margin over opponent Shain Stephens. Hampton claimed 1,795 votes to Stephens' 1,687. Former Kentucky State Trooper Roger Fuller garnered 323 votes.
"I want to thank everyone for their support," Hampton said Wednesday morning.
Hampton led 11 of the 18 precincts with Stephens leading the remaining seven.
It was at law school where Rick Dycus decided he wanted to be a teacher.
After a year and a half of law classes, Dycus said he asked himself one question.
"Why am I doing this?"
His future as a lawyer ended right then and there and his career as an educator began.
"I took all my books and went down to the dean's office and I dropped all my classes," he said. "That was probably one of the smartest things I've ever done."
Sitting in his Eastside Elementary principal's office, he smiled.

A prospective study of 200 consecutive patients receiving clindamycin (Cleocin HCl®*) for various reasons showed a 21% incidence of diarrhea and a 10% incidence of pseudomembranous colitis. The total dosage of clindamycin before the onset of diarrhea and the clinical syndrome associated with the diarrhea were of little help in differentiating those patients with or without pseudomembranous colitis. Pseudomembranous colitis developed most frequently after orally administered clindamycin, but was also seen with clindamycin parenterally administered. Early proctoscopic examination is necessary to diagnose colitis and is the most accurate means of detecting pseudomembranes; rectal biopsy results can confirm the diagnosis and delineate the degree of inflammation present. When the diagnosis is made soon after the onset of diarrhea, and the antibiotic is stopped, the pseudomembranous colitis seems to be self-limiting with no mortality.

EAST MARLBOROUGH — Township and school officials are searching for ways to incorporate safety measures along a stretch of Route 82 where a middle school student was struck by a car and killed.
``I've asked our transportation people if the sign posting 15 miles per hour in the school zone could be turned on during special events,'' said school board member Anne Michelini. ``That way people would be made more aware to drive slowly.''
Brianne Carter, a student at Charles F. Patton Middle School, was hit while trying to cross Route 82 on Sunday after a soccer match. The recreational fields are next to the middle school and Unionville High School. No charges have been filed in the accident.

February 26, 2003, 01:33 AM
I'm defending myself tomorrow against a speeding ticket I got a while ago. I think I have a pretty good case and can get get the case dismissed on several points. I give myself around 90% chance of winning. From now on i'm going to contest all my tickets because it's not really hard to find ways to get them dismissed. If the cop wants to be an ***, why not be an *** yourself and play lawyer? Some cops just don't think. Let's see I was driving my dads car and I have an out of state license. The speed sign is at the bottom of the hill, not near the top where he tagged me. The signs says 45mph even when it's a highway. The cop forgot to write down the designated speed on the ticket, and that i'm not the registered owner. There are so many ways I can get this ticket thrown out it's damn funny. If the cop does show up i'm going to make him look like true *** on the stand. I even made a nice video tape of the road to prove that the sign was poorly placed. I will be victorious over the system tomorrow.

Jennifer Loves Audrey
"Party of Five" and "Time of Your Life" star Jennifer Love Hewitt was named Fun, Fearless Female of the Year by Cosmopolitan magazine yesterday. She celebrated at New York's Plaza Hotel with a party along with 11 other honorees, who included soul diva Mary J. Blige, model Elizabeth Hurley, "The View" star Lisa Ling and actresses Heather Donahue, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Hayley Mills. Hewitt, soon to be seen in a TV biopic on style icon Audrey Hepburn, told PEOPLE that she first learned about Hepburn when she was about eight years old and asked her mother what kind of woman she expected Jennifer to become. "She said, 'I think you'll be a little bit like me, hopefully, and a little bit like your grandma, because you love her a lot. But this is who I would want you to grow up to be like.' And she showed me 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' " Hewitt, 20, admits she was too young to understand the story (about a high-class call girl), but "the moment Audrey hit the screen . . . I just knew that I was in love with her and wanted to be her as much as possible."


text: GAME TWO: Kris Letang. PENS WIN. Posted by on Apr 17, 2010 08:51 ShareTweet The best YouTube in the world today: That's the Post-Gazette's Ray Fittipaldo getting Sutton'd. We first saw this at Metz's FROM THE POINT. For most of the game, it looked like the tagline of the next "History Will Be Made" video was going to be, "What if Kris Letang could hit the net?" But that's the fun part of the NHL playoffs. Just when you start to job someone, they shut you up. And you welcome the message to shut up with open arms. Gotta make that save. We saw the shot. And we're experts. MAF gets a solid game under his belt. Still looked shaky. If there's one thing we won't miss about Mellon Arena is the "Oh Shit" feeling that was prevalent throughout the entirety of the second and third periods; Hell, the whole game. William Regal's early goal was like getting kicked in the nuts. But it happened way too early. The Pens now head to Ottawa for Games Three and Four. Pens won 22 games on the road during the season, 2nd-best in the East. The Sens were 26-11-4 in their barn during the season. That's one regulation loss every 2.7 games. If it wasn't simple division, we wouldn't have wasted our time. Fiddy14 – whatev itsfleuryingout2571 — Erin U. Ryan D. — Kevin P. Matt S. — Brian S. eileenover — PensAreYourDaddy clwatt3 — chris g. Russ Muffin — Daniel S. friotwill — Danny V. D-$ — Hand of Godard fleuryous H/T: RussMuffin Valiant effort on the Fleury chant. We're can't recap the first period. 'Cause we didn't see it. We were either at work, or the power was out. However, having power would have meant missing out on being part of a bunch of people in the neighborhood huddled around a battery-operated radio that some dude had in his driveway. With about 5 minutes left in the period, we were told the neighborhood got its power back. But no one budged from that driveway till the end of the period. Only playoff hockey makes that possible. But anyway William Regal came out and Abdelkader'd Fleury. 1-0. The only time a goal like that is important is when it sparks a complete blowout. We're not idiots. We know the first goal in a hockey game is huge, especially that early. But did the goal tempt Ottawa to relax a little bit for the rest of the game? Who knows. We're just typing shit to type it. No clue what we're talking about. Halfway through the period-ish, Kunitz got pushed to the outside and simply shot it on net. Crosby was where he was supposed to be and puts home the rebound. 1-1. And then this happened: Leo had his head down. Sutton hit him. The impact resulted in Sutton leaving his feet. We all remember the Dupuis hit. The boos rained down on Sutton for the rest of the game. We have our first true villain of the series. A bunch of people e-mailed this. And it's all over Twitter. No clue who the credit goes. And then this happened: eurydice_krg Crosby gets probably the best scoring chance of the period in the first minute. Some backhand coming from behind the net. No dice. What followed was about 10 minutes of restless times. Crowd didn't know what to do. Kunitz wakes shit up by hitting Chris Phillips while following a dump-in. Talbot and Ruutu go off for jobbing. Then Malkin tried to squeak past Sutton along the boards. Sutton just didn't want to let go. Penalty. 4-on-3 PP for like 40 seconds. Pens were able to set up shop and get a couple chances. Not sure if they even hit the net. Then it turned into a 5-on-4. Nothing doing. Nothing new. eurydice_krg Later, Cooke was going to the box. Pens get a huge kill. Pens dictated the rest of the period. But the 10-foot circle surrounding Bill Elliott's net was being protected by Ben's bodyguards. dick Ruutu tries to buy some call. Early in the third, the Pens were buzzing. Jordan Staal makes a slick play off a faceoff and gets in Elliott's face. All that shit resulted in the Pens getting a PP. The first minute was shit. Second minute was worse. Sens kill another one. The Sens were coming hard after that. And then…a sign. Sens shoot it on net. Millions of bodies in front of Fleury. You see a puck gliding innocently into the net. Crosby flies in and gets that shit out of there. Talbot gets a solid chance off a turnover. Shoots into Elliott's chest. The game snuck under 5 minutes. Oh Jesus. And then it happened. Crosby skates for half a mile behind the net, holding the puck for about 11 seconds. Dragging Jason Spezza along like an idiot. Give credit to Speeza. Stayed with Sid step for step and didn't take a penalty. But he's still an idiot. Finally Sid had enough. And he pushes it out to Letang at the point. He doesn't one-time it, you get pissed. Then Letang cradles it, stops, and lets loose with a shot. askldfgdfgdfg 2-1. Survivor mode the rest of the way. Sens pull Elliott. GAME. What the blogs are saying: "The only thing wrong with Andy's anihilation of Leopold? Should have been you, Geno."

Gallaudet (27-17) beat Centenary (N.J.) College 11-10 in Saturday's other semifinal game.
With the win, Behrend coach Paul Benim earned his 500th career victory.

Hayden Panettiere isn't afraid to bare it all – at least not on set.
"If I can't flaunt it at 20, come on!" Panettiere said while promoting her new film I Love You, Beth Cooper, in theaters July 10. "I mean I might as well show it now."
In the movie, Panettiere plays unattainable Beth Cooper, a high school cheerleader and the object of dorky Denis Cooverman's (played by Paul Rust) affection, and in one locker room scene, the actress drops her towel.
"It didn't bother me much," Panettiere said of shooting the "reveal." "I think when the person who's doing it gets all uncomfortable and shy, then it's other people around who get more uncomfortable because they're uncomfortable. I mean I was fine – everyone was really professional."
Even so, Panettiere said she still deals with body image issues.
"The older I get, the more comfortable I get with it," she added, "but I still have my days where I don't feel great ... and I'm having my fat day where I have to put something baggy on and sweatpants. Or just with the way people perceive me. I have plenty of insecurities."
But she tries to maintain a healthy lifestyle, she said. "I have the body that I have and that's not going to change," she said. "I try to stay as healthy as I can."
Panettiere now is gearing up for season four of Heroes, which returns to NBC in late September.

prime? choice? select? unlabeled?
prime? choice? select? unlabeled?
That does sound like kind of a lot if there was no visible fat around the edge... nutritiondata.com has a bazillion entries for top sirloin, but this one says "separable lean only" so maybe it's closer to what you ate: http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/beef-products/7463/2 That would only have about 10g of fat for 8oz.
who cares... how many carbs did it have?
That sounds high to me, but I have to second Arthurb999's lack of concern.
To address Naiadknight, if it's grass-fed, chances are that it's Grade A. Choice and Prime have to do with the marbling, and it's tough to get beef that fatty when it's eating its natural diet.
Hmmm... it did not have the grade on it. Just said 'topside'. To be honest, I did not know there were grades! Nor did I buy it, so not grass fed.
It was delicious though

THERE'S an interesting line between a newspaper deciding what is worthy and righteous for the public to know, and what the public think is worth knowing. Every day a newspaper, or indeed any daily media organisation, has to decide what to pursue in the name of public interest. Ideally, this should be the burning topic on people's minds, the issue people are clamouring for answers to, the detail the public want unlocked.
The reality is, for the most part, the newspaper decides what the consumption is going to be that day, because the public rely on us. Journalists are trained to pursue the obvious angles, without being directed by the public. It's a no-brainer to pursue crashes, crime and carnage, and we know this from experience. No member of the public is ever going to Facebook me and say: I'd like to see more crashes, please. But a newspaper knows perfectly well, through long experience, that you always report disasters because they sell newspapers.
Similarly, we know we have to "calm" the paper down with community events, schools, plenty of faces, people doing good works. Personally, because of my community paper background, I tend to give plenty of room for this, because I believe in praising a community.
I know readers take pride in their communities and the people in them, so they welcome stories of that ilk.
But generally, a newspaper is supposed to hear from its public if they believe the paper is not serving them. Our lead story yesterday, on the money spent on the Homebush sewage ponds, is a good example of the public directing the paper to ask the questions again. This prompting doesn't happen often enough.
True, an editor and his team are supposed to be researching the big deal items, but editorial teams - and the editor - change, and with departing personnel goes a lot of background knowledge. If there are some big ticket issues out there, why not remind us of them? We're here in a newsroom, getting out every so often. You're out there for real, in circumstances we probably don't know about. We'll do our best to be the champions for the community - if you let us know what's going on.

Four people, including a 10-year-old girl, were injured last night in an apparently related traffic accident and shooting in Strawberry Mansion.
The girl, reportedly identified as Destiny Gonzalez, was walking in the area when she was shot in the shoulder. She was taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where she was reported in fair condition. Three men were also hospitalized with serious injuries.
After being called to the 2900 block of Montgomery Avenue about 7:30 p.m., police found one car flipped upside down, riddled with bullet holes, along with several other smashed cars. Shell casings littered the area.

The stem cell division of Cellectis is working with human pluripotent stem cells to create a cardiomyocyte platform for drug-discovery screening, said Peter Sartipy, Ph.D., senior principal scientist.
The process of creating induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells involves reprogramming an adult cell to behave like an embryonic stem cell. Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell, but they lose that ability as they mature.
It has been discovered only recently that it is possible to return an adult cell to a state of pluripotency resembling an embryonic cell. The trick, as described by scientists from Kyoto University in 2006, is to get the adult cell to express four genes that are not normally expressed in adult cells.
Cardiomyocytes are an ideal focus for iPS cell development, because it is very difficult to isolate them from primary human tissue. According to Dr. Sartipy, controlling the culture conditions in order to activate or block specific pathways at specific time points is the key to going from undifferentiated cells to early mesoderm cells, then to cardiac mesoderm, to cardiac precursors, and finally to fully differentiated cardiomyocytes. Small molecule growth factors are used at different stages of the process.
Cellectis compared the iPS cardiomyocytes to the current gold standard for safety pharmacology testing—the ex vivo rabbit model—as well as the dog model.
"The stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes are giving representative results in nice correlation to the in vivo models," said Dr. Sartipy, noting that the iPS cardiomyocyte system has the potential to replace or reduce the use of those animal models for testing of new compounds in development.
Cellectis has further preliminary data showing how the cells can be used to test drugs in a model of cardiac hypertrophy. Dr. Sartipy explained that scale up was a challenge that Cellectis successfully overcame.
Going forward, Cellectis will strive to create cells that fully resemble the adult phenotype in every way.
"The state of the art in this area is that you can produce cardiomyocytes with good functionality, but it is still not completely identical to what you see in vivo in humans," said Dr. Sartipy.
Cardiomyocytes have also been the focus of development at GE Healthcare, whose scientists have been exploring the use of the cells in drug discovery, drug development, and toxicology applications. Robert Graves, Ph.D., senior applications scientist, described toxicology testing of the company's embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.
Dr. Graves said that the currently used tests for cardiotoxicity rely on animal cell models, ex vivo tests, or animal tissues. "It's well-known that there are problems with the predictivity of animal cells. At times it's only 50 percent. You might as well toss a coin."
Cardiomyocytes derived from human embryonic cells would be accurately predictive, as well as being a renewable resource producing a consistent supply of cells that can be used across a range of platforms, he contended.
Cardiotoxicity occurs through a number of mechanisms that interfere with heart function, such as blocking the electrophysiology, or the contractility, of the heart. Drugs can also be toxic to the mitochondria, which the heart requires in large quantities to supply its energy needs.
GE's system makes use of high-content analysis through imaging. For example, changes in the size and shape of the mitochondria can indicate toxicity affecting these organelles.
Four-color imaging assays extract as many as 20 parameters from the assays. The process yields the same kind of toxicity data as a conventional assay, but it also has the potential to indicate the mechanism of toxicity.
In a collaborative study with Genentech, GE used its cardiomyocytes in conjunction with high-content analysis to look at specific sets of compounds. Data from the first set of 26 showed excellent correlation between assay and historical data, said Dr. Graves.
In a blinded analysis, GE scientists graded the compounds according to the assay parameters collected. Compounds recorded in the literature as having cardiotoxicity were in a group scored with the highest toxicity classification.
"We believe this was an indication that this cardiomyocyte-based assay was going to be more predictive than standard cell-based assays," said Dr. Graves. "There's a need for a sea change in toxicology, to take a more holistic approach, and not focus on single issues like hERG assays for cardiotoxicology."

Reference has previously been made to the phenomenon of hypersusceptibility as pointed out by Rosenau and Anderson of the United States Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service.1
They showed by a series of brilliant experiments2 that, while horse serum is apparently a bland and harmless substance when injected into guinea-pigs, it renders the animal susceptible to a subsequent injection, and that if the latter is given after an interval of ten days the hypersusceptibility invariably manifests itself by severe symptoms which often result in the death of the animal. They believe that this phenomenon has a deep significance in relation to the problem of immunity, and expressed the opinion that resistance to disease may be gained largely through a process of hypersusceptibility.
These observations have attracted much attention, and, in the main, have been confirmed by a number of other observers during the past year.

More innovation in one bead than most machines have in their entire chassis
At long last, the first true innovation in washing machine technology in over 60 years is here. The revolutionary polymer bead cleaning technology from Xeros is set to dramatically change the way laundry is done.
Traditional washing machines rely heavily on large amounts of hot water, vigorous mechanical action, and chemicals to remove stains and sanitise fabrics. While using lots of hot water and detergent can get clothes clean, this "brute force" method for getting soil and stains out of fabrics uses water as if it were an infinite resource. This involves wasting precious energy and pouring unnecessary chemical effluent down the drain.
The founders of Xeros saw glaring opportunities to improve the washing process. We looked at the waste produced by the commercial washing machines on the market and asked ourselves: "What if we could harness the brilliant properties of polymer in a system that is fundamentally different from traditional washing machines, one that is more efficient and cost-effective?"
That's where Xeros' polymer beads come in. These beads replace water as the primary cleaning agent, drastically reducing the amount of water needed to get fabric clean. The polymer beads can act to remove oil and grease even more effectively than water, and each bead traps stains within its structure as it is carried away from the fabric.
Not only is the total amount of water used significantly reduced, the cleaning cycle can be run at lower temperatures as well, reducing energy costs. While detergent is still a part of the process, only half as much needs to be used for the Xeros process as compared to standard commercial washing machines.
The beads can be used hundreds of times in a Xeros machine and are then 100 percent recyclable, meaning that they have virtually no impact on the environment.
Though Xeros has managed to accomplish much with its unique bead cleaning system, this is only the beginning of the possibilities for polymer beads. Our research and development teams are continuously striving to further improve the beads to extend their capabilities and are working on specific new and exciting applications for this technology.
Your business will save money, time, and the environment with Xeros' game-changing technology.

World Conflicts of 2012
January 12, 2012 Leave a comment
The world is full of tension and conflict – there always seems to be turmoil somewhere on the planet, no matter how much the rest of the world yearns for peace. In 2012, the Middle East continues to be in conflict; Lebanon and Gaza continue with the same issue, and Iran is reaching their own boiling point (with US drones, bombings and nuclear threats). In the Americas, a drug war has spiraled out of control after the US has put incredible pressure on the narcotics trade; with some high level arrests of some drug families, other families are now violently vying for control. Police stations have been bombed, tourists kidnapped and killed, and political leaders had their lives threatened. Africa has Somalian pirates who have been terrorizing the seas and North and South Korea continue to have a tense relationship, which may have been amplified with the passing of Kim Jong-Il. Check out this handy map to see all the places in the world with some kind of conflict in 2012 (click the map to make it bigger).

"You can just see by the looks of the guy, he doesn't look like a hockey player, he looks like a model. He's 40 and looks like he's in his 20s," Stars captain Brenden Morrow said. "So a good-looking guy coming down to Texas selling hockey, I think it was a good thing for one of the demographics here."
But his looks would not have mattered if he wasn't a perennial all-star who became the highest-scoring American-born player in NHL history and an eventual Hall of Famer.
"Just the skill and the talent that he had, the excitement he brought on the ice, skating down the wing with the jersey flapping and the success the team had here, winning the Stanley Cup (in 1999)," Morrow said. "Those are big things and sold hockey to a lot of kids, and you can see it in the rinks that are popping up in the metro (area). He's been a big part of that."
Modano, now a Detroit Red Wing, made his much-anticipated return to Dallas Thursday night. Many of the current Stars do not have a long history with Modano, but it's clear how much respect he still commands in the dressing room.
Steve Ott, a notorious agitator and trash-talker, said Modano is off limits in that regard, calling him "a brother."
"There's too much respect there," Ott said. "Mike has been a class act here for so many years, the icon here. He's a great guy and a great friend to a lot of us.
"When a guy puts the heart and soul of 20-something years, the respect is automatic. He's been nothing but first-class for this organization and this community."
Modano helped the Stars reach the playoffs in 12 of their first 14 seasons in Dallas, including five consecutive division titles from 1996-97 to 2000-01.
It was challenging trying to market this unfamiliar sport in a warm-weather, football-crazy state.
"At the start, we were just trying to get people in the building," Modano said. "We felt if we got them to the game and they saw the excitement and speed and the aggressiveness of the game, the skill and talent side of it as well, people would be hooked. Eventually they did and we were able to build a real competitive, consistent team. People latched on and we built a great fan base here."
Modano continues to promote the game. He was holding court with the media outside the visiting dressing room, still in full gear after the morning skate, when Red Wings coach Mike Babcock walked by.
"Mo, the game starts at 7:30, you can't be here until then," Babcock said.
Modano laughed, saying, "(He's) so demanding. (I'm) too old for that."
He said his biggest adjustment has been the Red Wings' different style of play.
"Mike runs a real high-tempo, fast-paced game, real fast on defense and equally as fast offensively and transition-wise," Modano said. "It's been a gear or two up. Been a bit of a transition trying to get caught up to speed and get in better shape."
Babcock said it might take a couple of months for Modano to mesh with linemates Jiri Hudler and Dan Cleary. He believes it will be a strong third line, its minus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Colorado notwithstanding.
"We spend a minute shift grinding them out in their zone, all of the sudden we turn around and it's in our net," Hudler said. "If you didn't watch the game and you looked at the sheet (minus-3), you're like, 'What the hell is this?'
"We just got to keep going. We got good players around."
What does that line need to do?
"Don't turn the puck over and stop on defense," Babcock said.

Midterm elections are underway and this season's outcome could have a dramatic impact on the makeup of Congress.
Early polls show Republicans may have enough support to dwindle the Democratic majority.
CBN News Senior Editor John Waage has been following the midterm election campaigns, voters trends, and expectations. Read his predictions below for the Nov. 2 election. Also, stay with CBN News Election 2010, Tuesday, for continuous coverage, with special LIVE updates at 9 p.m. & 11 p.m. ET.
U.S. SENATERepublicans should hold on to the five most contested seats they are defending, and now appear to be able to capture 10 seats currently held by the Democrats.
Here is a look at the key Senate races:
FloridaRepublican Marco Rubio appears to have blown the race wide open in the closing days after reports that former President Clinton tried to talk Democratic candidate Kendrick Meek into dropping out of the contest to help the Independent challenge of Governor Charlie Crist. Rubio appears destined to be a rising star on the national stage as he fills the seat of retired GOP Senator Mel Martinez.
AlaskaRepublican candidate Joe Miller is trying to fend off a bitter write-in challenge from defeated incumbent Republican Lisa Murkowski as well as opposition from Democrat Scott McAdams. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin campaigned for Miller during the weekend, and ripped into Murkowski for threatening a conservative talk radio host who was taken off the air for "electioneering." Latest polls show a gain for Murkowski. A defeat of Miller by either Murkowski or McAdams would be a very disappointing setback for conservatives.
KentuckyAnother bitter campaign in which Democrat Jack Conway aired an ad attacking Republican Rand Paul's faith. In a race that had been tightening, Paul again widened the distance between the two after the controversial ad. Paul is a modest favorite to replace Republican Jim Bunning, who is retiring.
MissouriIn a contest between two famous Missouri political families, Congressman Roy Blunt is facing Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan. Blunt has been over the important 50 percent mark since August, and is favored to win on Tuesday and take over for retiring senator Kit Bond. Blunt's lead is largely due to President Obama's low approval ratings and opposition to Obamacare.
New HampshireWith GOP Sen. Judd Gregg retiring, Granite State Republicans turned to former Attorney Gen. Kelly Ayotte, who won a close primary battle. She's opened up what looks to be a double-digit lead over Democratic Congressman Paul Hodes. Although New Hampshire has turned blue in recent years, the GOP wave is strong enough to retain this seat.
Now, for the key races defended by Democrats:
NevadaPerhaps the hardest fought race with the highest stakes in 2010, Tea Party luminary Sharron Angle stunned the establishment by winning the primary last spring, and now has a narrow but apparently steady lead over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Despite an avalanche of personal attacks against her, Angle kept on message in the closing weeks, vowing to change the way Washington works. If she wins, the turning point may have come during their debate, when she told Reid to "man up" and admit the nation has a real problem with Social Security.
PennsylvaniaDemocrat Joe Sestak knocked off Sen. Arlen Specter in the May primary, but since then Republican Pat Toomey has led in most of the polls. Sestak gained in the closing weeks and tried to portray Toomey as a crackpot-conservative tied to Palin. But Toomey's strong anti-Washington economic message is getting a hearing in the Keystone State and a big win by the Republican candidate for governor could also help Toomey.
IndianaWhen Democrat Evan Bayh announced his retirement, this seat immediately became a ripe target for the GOP. Former Senator Dan Coats overcame his past as a lobbyist to win the Republican nomination. He's favored to beat Democratic Congressman Brad Ellsworth.
Indiana, which normally votes Republican in presidential elections, voted for Obama in 2008. But the voters there now seem to have a major case of buyer's remorse and should return to the Republicans in big races.
WisconsinIncumbent Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold expected to buck the anti-Washington sentiment in his state by touting himself as a maverick. It hasn't worked, and businessman Ron Johnson has edged toward a double-digit lead in some polls. Unless the unions produce a big turnout for the Democrats (and perhaps even if they do), Feingold is gone.
ArkansasDemocrat Blanche Lincoln sealed her fate when she cast a deciding Senate vote for Obamacare. She will probably be awarded an ambassadorship or some other post in the Obama Administration, but she won't be back in the Senate. Republican Rep. John Boozman will take her place.
IllinoisAnother nasty contest to fill the seat vacated by President Obama. Charges of corruption and mob ties dogged Democrat Alexi Giannoulias, who is a basketball buddy of the president.
Republican Rep. Mark Kirk got in some trouble for misrepresenting his military record, but has held the narrowest of leads in recent polls. Republican enthusiasm to turn out the current governor may help give Kirk the edge in the Senate race as well.
ColoradoIn a state where opposition to the health care plan is strong, conservative Ken Buck rode the tea party to victory in the Republican primary and is trying to unseat incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet. Ahead by the margin of error in most recent polls, Buck will take advantage of a national wave of Independent voters breaking for the GOP.
WashingtonThree-term Democrat Patty Murray is one of the very few incumbent Democrats to embrace the record of President Obama and Congress. She happily defends the millions of federal dollars she's brought to the state, but in a year when voters of all stripes are worried about the federal debt, her bragging may come back to haunt her.
Rossi has name recognition in statewide contests, having lost the race for governor in 2002 in an extremely close contest. This may be Rossi's year, and if he wins in such a blue state, it will be one of the big upsets on election day. It's likely to be so close that with Washington's mail-in ballots, the outcome may not be known for days.
North DakotaThis race was virtually over when Gov. John Hoeven announced he was running for the seat vacated by Democrat Byron Dorgan. Hoeven is easily the state's most popular politician and will be sent to Washington in a landslide over Democrat State Sen. Tracy Potter.
West VirginiaThis race wasn't supposed to be close. Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin has approval ratings over 60 percent, so when he appointed himself to fill the seat of the late Sen. Robert Byrd, it was assumed he'd easily win in November.
But anti-Obama sentiment runs so strong in the Mountain State that Republican John Raese took the lead in the polls, suggesting that West Virginians could keep their popular governor in Charleston and send him to Washington. Manchin reagained the lead, but a large weekend rally with Palin and rocker Ted Nugent may put Raese over the top.
California Carly Fiorina has run a very good campaign for a conservative trying to win in one of the country's most socially liberal states. She's been hammering away at Boxer's 28-year record of indiscriminate spending in the House and Senate, and is within striking distance in the campaign's final days.
Prop 19, the pro marijuana legalization measure, may inspire more on the Left to mail in ballots as well.
DelawareThe most maligned candidate in a campaign rich with maligned candidates (especially conservative women), Christine O'Donnell has halved a 20-point lead in the past two weeks. She's still running 10 points behind liberal Democrat Chris Coons, and although she's hoping for a miracle close, it doesn't seem likely.
ConnecticutFormer wrestling executive Linda McMahon has fought gamely against long-time Attorney Gen. Richard Blumenthal. She's behind by 10 points in the latest poll and could still surprise on election night. But it looks like her big spending effort is going to come up short for the seat long held by Sen. Christopher Dodd
U.S. HOUSEPolls also show Independents breaking for the GOP in large numbers. Some have cautioned that the enthusiasm for the Republican party is lower than it was in 1994, but if the election is more about getting the Democrats out than getting the Republicans in, voters who are motivated to go to the polls in this midterm are going to pull the lever against the Democrat.
It feels like going out on a limb to predict a 66 seat loss for the Democrats, but the anger is so palpable and the signs are everywhere for a huge Democratic defeat.
For instance, the latest CNN generic poll gives Republicans a whopping 10 point lead, 52 to 42 percent--three points higher than the 1994 cycle when the House went Republican for the first time in 40 years.
If the "wave" happens, as many expect, it could sweep a number of senior Democrats--even committee chairmen--out of office.
On the endangered list: Reps. John Spratt, S.C.; John Dingell, Mich.; Barney Frank, Mass.; Jim Oberstar, Minn., and Dale Kildee, Mich.
Many of them haven't had a meaningful race in decades, but if the anti-incumbent sentiment is strong enough, several could fall.
GOVERNOR RACESThe races for governor have extra meaning this year because governors wield influence in congressional redistricting after the census at the beginning of every new decade. This year it appears Republicans will make substantial gains in large states, although the margins in some states are very narrow.
Currently, Democrats hold 26 state houses, Republicans 23, and Independent one (Crist in Florida). There are 37 contests for governor this year, 19 held by Democrats, 17 by Republicans and one Independent.
Predicted change: Republicans control 29 governorships, Democrats 20, with one Independent.

Levels of Analysis in Psychology: A Companion Reader for Use with the IB Psychology Courseby Jennie Brooks Jamison
This book supplements an introductory psychology text with up-to-date, in-depth information relevant to the IB syllabus.
Understanding Research Methods in Psychologyby Jennie Brooks Jamison
This book has three purposes. One purpose is to help students see that there are many options available to researchers for investigating behavior and that each method has a specific goal. The second purpose is to introduce students to qualitative research methods: interviewing, observation, and case studies. International Baccalaureate (IB) students taking the Higher Level (HL) course sit for Paper 3, a section of the exam about qualitative research. I weave headings throughout the chapters on qualitative research that correspond to Paper 3 learning outcomes. These IB learning outcomes are relevant for any psychology student. The third purpose is to teach students how to design a simple experiment and analyze the data. Students taking the International Baccalaureate and/or Advanced Placement exams in psychology will find what they need in this book. Research methods are probably the most difficult part of these exams. Introductory texts do not usually provide enough depth, while the typical college-level research methods books are too complicated, sometimes even for a college student's first experience with methodology.

Fair and balanced? From President Obama?April 12th, 2011, 4:55 pm by Mark Landsbaum
We await on pins and needles (OK, maybe not) President Barack Obama's speech Wednesday when he tells us how fair and balanced his plan is for the federal budget, as opposed to Rep. Paul Ryan's Republican plan, which we tend to like.
We already like the $39 billion cut in the current budget, including dough handed out but not yet spent on high-speed rail boondoggles.
Here's a tip about what's coming from Obama, look at what he said when campaigning: He wanted "a sense of balance, and fairness in our tax code."
Here's where we discover his definition of words doesn't match the dictionary's, or yours. Expect proposals to gouge the "rich," which we suspect will continue to be a moving target, the threshold of which will fluctuate as Obama's perceived need for your cash ebbs and flows. Who knows, maybe soon we'll all be "rich," then he can be "fair" and gouge us all. That should be a "balanced" approach.
For every $2 in cuts to this bloated federal spending monster, he will want to add $1 in new taxes. Or "revenue," as the government insiders typically mis-identify it.Read the rest of this entry »

A leaking gasoline tank on a converted bicycle led to the arrest of a 19-year-old man on a drug charge in Fountain Hill.
On Wednesday, Jeraldo Guadalupe-Figureroa was charged with reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
Shortly before 11 p.m. May 29, Fountain Hill police and firefighters arrived at a six-unit apartment building in the 800 block of Seneca Street in the borough.
They were responding to complaints about the odor of gasoline inside the building.
In a second floor hallway, they found a bicycle that had been converted with an engine and gasoline tank.
The tank was leaking gas onto the carpeted floor. The floor was saturated and the entire building was impacted by "gasoline fumes and vapor."
The building was evacuated, which involved forcing open the doors to two apartments to make sure all tenants were out.
A portion of the carpet had to be removed and the building required mechanical ventilation.
Police later learned that Guadalupe-Figureroa removed the bicycle after the evacuation. He is the boyfriend of one of the tenants in the building.
On Thursday, Fountain Hill police arrested Guadalupe-Figureroa, again in the 800 block of Seneca Street.
Police found a plastic bag containing 10 Acetaminophen-Oxycodone tablets in the left pocket of his pants. He did not have a prescription for the medications.
The defendant admitted that he had placed the bicycle in the hallway, using his girlfriend's building keys. He also admitted that he knew the gas tank leaked.
Police said he placed the apartment tenants in danger of death or serious bodily harm.
Police were unable to ascertain a verifiable address for Guadalupe-Figureroa and he had no identification. He told police he is from Puerto Rico and lives with a family member near the Eighth Street Bridge in Allentown.
His employer, Popeyes, said he had the 800 Seneca Street address on his job application.

Rodney throws, feels good
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Good news this morning on the Fernando Rodney front.
Rodney made 15 strong throws from 60 feet, and afterwards declared that his right shoulder is much improved. Rodney said that barring any further setbacks, he'll have no trouble being ready for Opening Day.
"I feel good,'' Rodney said. "Much better. I'm feeling ready to go.''
The Tigers haven't yet decided on the next step for Rodney, and his prediction that he'll be able to throw off a bullpen mound this week could be a little optimistic. But it does seem that he's now on the right track.
In other news this morning, the Tigers released Matt Mantei, who ended his comeback attempt after experiencing right shoulder soreness on Sunday.
15 throws? I give the chances of Rodney not starting the season on the DL at 15%. It's obvious he's not healthy. Let's be realistic here people. If Rodney makes it the first month of the season without hitting the DL, I'll eat a soiled diaper.
liar! u won't eat a soiled diaper if rodney is healthy. you're nothing but a phony. hey everybody, this guy's a big fat phony!
With all that Dombrowski has done well - and it is a ton - I'm a little disappointed that he didn't try harder to get another bullpen arm or two in the offseason, knowing that Zumaya was hurt and that Rodney is ALWAYS hurt or crazy.
Middle Releivers grow on the magical pitching tree that is in your backyard? I'm sure DD and JL knows what they have or don't have in their aresenal.
Rodney? Whatever. I don't think he knows what healthy is. If he's in there on opening day it just gives him more opportunities to scare the hell out of me when he hits the first batter.
To bad for Mantei, I was hoping for a good comeback for him & for our bullpen. We need help man, sooner not later. GO TIGERS!!!
thefume, like the family guy reference. Good stuff.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
WEDNESDAY, July 24 (HealthDay News) -- Diabetes is associated with a significantly increased risk of physical disability, according to a meta-analysis published online July 24 in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology.
Evelyn Wong, M.B.B.S., from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the risk of disability as a result of diabetes. Twenty-six studies of adults that compared the risk of disability among those with and without any type of diabetes were identified and included in a meta-analysis.
The researchers found that diabetes correlated with a significantly increased risk of mobility disability (15 studies; odds ratio, 1.71; risk ratio, 1.51). There were also significantly increased risks of disability as measured by instrumental activities of daily living (10 studies; odds ratio, 1. 65) and activities of daily living (16 studies; odds ratio, 1.82; risk ratio, 1.82).
"As the world's population ages, diabetes will become more common, increasing the need for disability-related health resources," the authors write. "Costs will be both direct (e.g., for health services, assistive devices, nursing home costs) and indirect (loss of productivity both from individuals and their carers)."

MANTUA TWP. — Two men will be ordained to the priesthood during a mass Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Church of the Incarnation.
Jon-Peter Thomas, 27, from Mantua, is a graduate of Clearview Regional High School in Mullica Hill, St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia, and The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. He served as a transitional deacon at St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral in Camden. He will offer his first Mass on Sunday at 2 p.m. at Incarnation Parish, Mantua.
Phillip Max Johnson, 59, from Sewell, is a graduate of Harding University in Arkansas, Princeton Theological Seminary, John Paul II Pontifical Institute at the Catholic University in Washington, DC, and St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore. Johnson, a former Lutheran pastor, has a wife, Janet, and four grown children.
The Diocese of Camden noted the acceptance of married men to the priesthood is an exception granted on a case by case basis for reasons of pastoral need and does not signal a change in the norm of celibacy for Latin Rite priests.
Johnson served as a transitional deacon at Incarnation Parish where he will offer his first Mass on May 30 at 11 a.m.

MIFFLINBURG - The rain and wind Friday night affected the Midd-West Mustangs and didn't affect them.
And in the end, the Mustangs (4-1) stayed hot as they defeated winless Mifflinburg 4-2 in a Heartland Athletic Conference Division I baseball game.
"The kids played a good game tonight despite the conditions," Midd-West coach Ron Flood said. "We stayed with it and came away with a win."
As the rain started to fall with more intensity, it seemed to wake up the Mustangs' bats.
With his team trailing 2-1, Aaron Sharp started the top of the fifth with a double and moved to third when Eli Stem dropped down a perfect bunt and beat the throw to first.
Stem then stole second and moved to third when Sharp scored on Shane Connahan's ground out to tie the game.
Fact Box
Midd-West will host Montoursville today
After Luke Zimmerman walked, Hunter Shuff singled to bring home Stem and make it 3-2.
Colton Snook loaded the bases when he reached on a fielders' choice, but Mifflinburg got out of the inning on a 4-2-3 double play.
Sharp continued to do damage at the plate as he walked and then scored on a Connahan RBI double in the sixth to make it 4-2.
"The top of their lineup killed us," Mifflinburg coach Tom Church said. "You try to split them up but it just didn't work for us in the fifth and that is when they scored the runs."
Flood agreed with his counterpart.
"Top of the lineup is always strong for us and today they did some damage," he said.
Sharp, Stem, Connahan and Zimmerman combined to go 6-for-10 and scored all four runs.
But as the rain woke up the offense, it did nothing to slow down Sharp on the mound.
Sharp pitched a complete game, striking out four and allowing just four Mifflinburg hits.
"Aaron just went out there a pitched a solid game," Flood said. "He is not the fastest and he doesn't have the greatest control but he gets the job done."

The Peoria Rivermen mustered up 43 shots on Saturday, but only one found the back of the net as the Mississippi RiverKings edged Peoria, 2-1 at Carver Arena. RiverKings' goaltender Dan McWhinney made 42 saves, while forward Matt Whitehead netted the game-winner less than two minutes into the third as the visitors topped Peoria for the second straight night.
After starting the season with back-to-back wins, the loss drops Peoria to 2-2-0-0 in their first SPHL season. Starting goaltender Russ Stein went the distance in his third appearance of the year, but suffered the defeat after allowing two goals on 35 shots.
The first period was an offensive struggle as neither team found the back of the net in the first 20 minutes. It wasn't for a lack of chances, however, as Peoria failed to score on three power play opportunities.
Mississippi broke the scoreless tie at 5:11 of the first period courtesy of veteran Leo Thomas. The 11th year pro center ripped a slap shot from the left side, which went top shelf past Stein for a 1-0 score. Whitehead and Todd Hosmer each assisted on the goal.
(Dennis Sievers / Peoria Rivermen)
The game turned physical towards the end of the second period and resulted in a near fight between Cole Ruwe and Charles Lachance with five minutes left in the frame. Three minutes later, defenseman Matt Smyth was called for tripping, which created Peoria's sixth power play of the game. The Rivermen pounced on the opportunity and evened the game at the 19:27 mark, when center Nick Prockow passed to Tyler Fernandez at the top of the right circle, who then found Nick Wheeler for a one-time goal.
The RiverKings regained the lead during a power play at 1:55 of the third and never looked back. From the top of the point, Hosmer unloaded on a slap shot that was initially saved by Stein, but the puck trickled between the netminder's pads and Whitehead was there to knock it home.
A relentless attack in the final minutes of the game by the Rivermen kept it exciting down to the wire, but Peoria never found the equalizer. Following a hooking minor to Smyth at the 17:46 mark, Stein was pulled with 1:13 to play which created a 6-on-4 chance for the Rivermen. Peoria however notched just one shot on goal during the final minute.
Peoria finished the game 1-for-7 on the power play and 2-for-3 on the penalty kill.
The Rivermen hit the road for their first out-of-state road trip next weekend, which begins in Huntsville, Alabama on Friday. Game-time is 7:05 p.m. and you can follow all of the action locally on CD Country 107.9 FM or online at www.cd1079.net.

VIENNA, 27 October 2011 - Tuvalu, a Polynesian island nation in the Pacific Ocean, has become the 174th Member State of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
In a letter addressed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Tuvalu, Apisai Ielemia, the Director-General of UNIDO, Kandeh K. Yumkella, wrote that he takes "great pleasure in welcoming Tuvalu as the newest member of our Organization".
"As the United Nations specialized agency which promotes industrial development, UNIDO plays an active role in a wide range of development issues including growth, trade, environment and energy, all of which are increasingly inter-linked," said Yumkella.
"The challenge of dealing with such issues for countries such as Tuvalu gives your accession to our Organization an added relevance particularly as UNIDO provides comprehensive and integrated packages of services in these areas in order to facilitate the development process."
Like other Small Island Developing States (SIDS) that are composed of islands and low-lying coastal nations, Tuvalu faces similar barriers to sustainable development, including limited resources, poor economic resilience, and vulnerability to sea level rise and natural disasters.
While small island nations emit less than one percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, their geographic and economic characteristics put them at risk to experience the effects of climate change with more immediacy and severity than anywhere else in the world.
Yumkella added that he was looking forward to Tuvalu playing an active role in the operational and other activities of UNIDO, and expressed hope that a delegation from Tuvalu would come for the fourteenth session of the UNIDO General Conference which will be held from 28 November to 2 December in Vienna.
This year, the overarching theme of the General Conference will be "The new industrial revolution: Making it sustainable". Among other events, the General Conference will feature regional round table discussions, including on "Prosperity for the millions in Asia and the Pacific: green growth and poverty reduction".
