Allentown will be asking tax-exempt, non-profit organizations – including its colleges and hospitals -- to voluntarily contribute money or services to help increase revenue for the city.
Exactly which non-profits will be asked to participate has not yet been determined, but City Council member Jeanette Eichenwald wants to concentrate on those that own substantial amounts of property inside city limits but don't pay any property taxes.
The concept is called PILOT, an acronym for "payment in lieu of taxes." A variation on the theme is SILOT: "services in lieu of taxes." But organizers may call Allentown's program something else, because they fear PILOT is a dirty word to many non-profits.
Eichenwald chairs an ad hoc city committee that met for the first time Wednesday night to begin looking into the issue. She said the committee ultimately will determine who will be asked to participate based on the value of their real estate, not the size of their budgets.
She said the city is fortunate that both its health care and educational institutions already provide important services "we cannot live without." She added some of those services are mandated by the federal government but many are not.
"We are grateful and appreciative for all they have done for the city," she said. "But what we're talking about here today is money. Show me the money, in addition to the services."
She said state law prohibits cities from forcing non-profits to pay any money. "The operative words here are voluntary cooperation." She said most cities that already have initiated such programs request 25 to 33 percent of what non-profits would pay in property taxes -- in money and/or additional services. "The real estate is calculated as if it were still in private hands and the non-profit voluntarily agrees for 25 to 33 percent."
The ad hoc committee was created last week by City Council President Julio Guridy, who asked Eichenwald to serve as chairwoman.
Eichenwald told City Council she has been trying to get Allentown to move forward on the issue for several years.
"It definitely is the trend," she told council. She said both and large cities across the country that face financial difficulties are "talking to non-profits to see if they would offer some payment in lieu of real estate taxes, from which they are excused."
She noted Bethlehem is much further along in developing a PILOT program.
In addition to Eichenwald, City Council members Jeff Glazier and Ray O'Connell serve as council's representatives on the committee. At Eichenwald's suggestion, the committee also includes two members of the administration: Debi Bowman, Allentown's deputy finance director, and Vicky Kistler, city health bureau director.
After the committee determines what large non-profits it would like to participate, and what in-kind services they already provide to Allentown, representatives of those entities will be invited to a meeting long before any final recommendations are made. Eichenwald said other cities' programs that included non-profit representatives very early in the discussion have been more successful.
"It's important to have them at the table," agreed O'Connell.
"They can bring information and context we don't see," said Glazier.
Kistler warned non-profits will go into a defensive mode as soon as they hear the acronym "PILOT." She suggested not even using it. "What we have to do is build cooperation and partnership."
Eichenwald said, "We can use our own terminology of mutual cooperation."
Another initial idea kicked around was sending fake tax bills to non-profits so they see the cost if they did pay property taxes.
Francis Dougherty, the city's managing director, also attended the meeting, as did Joe Celentano, a Muhlenberg College senior who is working as an intern in the city clerk's office and did initial research for the committee.
Dougherty warned it is not in the city's best interest to embarrass, humiliate or attack institutions that don't give anything, even if they should, "but are still providing service to our citizens."
"I have no desire to humiliate, embarrass or attack," said Eichenwald.
"We're not looking to have this be adversarial," agreed O'Connell. "Instead of payment or services, it's a partnership for the betterment of the citizens of Allentown."
Dougherty said about six years ago Mayor Ed Pawlowski's administration explored PILOT with the city's major non-profit organizations. He said that included an "extensive and aggressive outreach" to meet with leaders of the major institutions.
"We were successful in seeing a modest increase in voluntary donations to the city," said Dougherty. "But nothing came close to our lofty goal of getting $1 million a year from these organizations, which was the goal that drove our program. Nothing beyond those modest increases were ever taken in since then."
Dougherty said the city's greatest relationships have been with its medical community "rather than our educational community."
Glazier said he can think of only five "meds and eds" in Allentown. He said about 20 percent of properties in the city are non-taxable.
Before the meeting Eichenwald said she is not interested in including houses of worship among the non-profits.
Kistler wondered if more non-profits are in the city "than we recognize."
"Religious institutions," said O'Connell.
Glazier doesn't expect downtown churches "to cough up any cash," but their congregations could provide community services.
"As non-profits buy up property, it comes off the tax roll," said Eichenwald, adding some of those properties are very valuable.
Kistler suggested a PILOT provision could be built right into any city-owned property turned over to a non-profit that now doesn't have to pay taxes on it.
Dougherty said state legislation is pending final approval in Harrisburg that would increase the number of tax-exempt organizations in every city in the state. "This is not a good thing," he told the committee. "This is the opposite direction from where we want to go."
He recommended City Council should pass a resolution opposing final passage of that legislation.
The ad hoc committee plans to meet again in early March.

If one of your New Year's resolutions was to volunteer or make a positive impact in someone's life, jewelry designer Marnie Greenwood has a opportunity for you.
Greenwood learned in 2007 that children who receive outpatient cancer treatment don't have much in the way of entertainment, so she rallied her staff and began visiting the clinics, making jewelry with the patients and their families.
Now Greenwood is looking to recruit people for her Marnie Rocks Beading Cancer brigade. Basically, you donate two hours each month, making jewelry with children and their families. Marnie Rocks donates the supplies and you give the time. Interested? Contact email@example.com.

Two BYU student-athletes—football player Harvey Unga and women's basketball player Keilani Moeaki—today announced they have decided to withdraw from school.
Both students have made the decision to withdraw as a result of a violation of the BYU honor code. Unga, a 6-foot, 237-pound running back, is the school's all-time leading rusher with 3,455 yards gained over his first three seasons in the Cougar backfield. He led the Mountain West Conference in rushing last year while garnering first-team All-MWC honors after a third consecutive 1,000-yard season.
"I fully support Harvey and his decision regarding his personal situation," BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "The possibility of not having Harvey on the field in the fall would certainly have an impact on our team, but my main concern right now is in supporting Harvey."
Moeaki, a 6-foot-2 forward, has started in 67 of 91 games in three seasons. She averaged 4.4 points and 2.2 rebounds while starting all 33 games this past season, helping BYU advance to the quarterfinals of the WNIT.
"Keilani has been a valuable contributor to our team the past three years," BYU women's basketball coach Jeff Judkins said. "She has my support while she takes time to address some important personal matters."

Here are some of the top local stories being covered by "Big Island of Hawaii News" through 03 April 2012:
Conviction in manslaughter case upheld; traffic changes on Kalanikoa Stree; and police look for missing woman.
Sources cited in this summary include the Associated Press, the "Hawaii Tribune-Herald", Stephens Media, and "Hawaii 24/7 News".
(Hawaii Tribune-Herald). An appeals court has upheld the manslaughter conviction of an Ocean View man who was sentenced to 20 years for the shotgun shooting of a Milolii man. During the trial, Kevin C. Metcalfe admitted to shooting Larry Kuahuia with a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun on 06 May 2009, but that Metcalf only shot Kuahuia in self-defense. Metcalf testified that on the night of the shooting, he confronted Kuahuia afte an alarm indicated that someone was on Metcalfe's property and that Metcalfe say on his surveillance monitor that someone was outside his greenhouse, trying to cut through a shade cloth. Metcalfe said he shot Kuahuia after the victim allegedly "jumped" toward him with a cutting instrument. At the trial, Metcalfe's version of events was challenged successfully by police detective Walter Ah Mow and Maui pathologist Anthony Manoukia. Their testimony indicated that Kuahuia was shot in the back from a distance of 60 feet. The court ruled that "Metcalfe's argument is without merit."
(Hawaii County Police Department/Hawaii Tribune-Herald). Hawaii Island police are renewing their request for information about a 31-year-old Pahoa woman who was reported missing since 24 January 2012. Kimberly Horoschak is described as Caucasian, 5-foot-4 and 135 pounds with blond hair and hazel eyes. She is believed to be driving a white 1998 Toyota 4 Runner. She may be in Honokaa or Kailua-Kona. Her family is concerned about her welfare. Anyone with information on this case should call police at 935-3311.

So a dead, monotone voice so much better than a voice that actually -had- emotion had emotional scenes? Mmmm, not buying it.
I'm in agreement with the Male Shepard group, the voice just seems so much more suited, i've said it before and i'll probably say it again when I pop back to the thread and play catch up. Jennifer Hale is not bad as a voice actress, but I feel that Mark was just... suited perfectly for Shep, especially when Shepard is lashing out at someone, the attitude he puts over in his voice is really well done.
Just my opinion though, to each their own.
Stop this madness!
Mark is good as a renegade Shepard.
Jennifer - paragon.
My Little Borg: Friendship is Irrelevant
I like them both. Why choose?
Also I just think that Hale's Shepard has more personality in her voice. As I said earlier though I think they are both good voice actors.
i agree that both mark and jennifer are great in giving the voice to ther respective sheppards and believe that they can convein the feelings quite well but since sheppard is suposed to be me i went with a bro sheppard (i had jennifer for my femalle trooper though :P )
someone else might have gotten it wrong.
Even the famous "we fight or we die" line was flat. "The Reapers are more advanced than we are. More powerful. More intelligent. They don't fear us and they'll never take pity on us." Also flat.
Granted, Meer is a better VA than whoever did Geralt in the Witcher.
i was not crying in the shower
i just realized how i'll never get to meet darth vader and then soap got in my eye - Kylo Ren

In The Long Run: A Relatively Low Dollar Implies Good Prospects for U.S. Agricultural Trade
Stay Connected
Share or Save This Article
The depreciation of the U.S. dollar since 2002 has helped increase the real (adjusted for inflation) value of U.S. agricultural exports to record levels. A relatively low dollar means that U.S. exports are less expensive in foreign currency terms and helps make U.S. agricultural exports competitive in foreign markets. The recent depreciation of the euro implies some competition for agricultural export markets from European exporters, but the overall expectation is that the dollar is likely to stay competitive relative to most other currencies in the world.

Lunar Research Station Design Challenge
Moon Research Station from
We are building the Main Rocket that will carry us out of the orbit and will get us to the moon so we can jetasin out smaller ships and land on the moon and the EVA stuff can be taken out and be put to use. We are also building a "Main Rocket" that will be jetasined out of the main rocket and carried all of the EVA stuff to the moon so we can study the moon and it's features. Also there is a little glider that will take all of the EVA stuff down to the moon. There is a tiny little ship that is used to transfer all of the EVA stuff from the big ship to the little glider ship that will take about four of five trips to the moon and back to the ship to get all of the EVA stuff down to the moon. That is all of our creations for "Trasportation" so now I will tell you about Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA).
We will be making a little "car" it will have four wheels and the best suspension we can get, it also has a sat phone and a bubble where the driver will drive and he does not need to where a space suit while the other guys will sit in back where they need to wear space suits because they would be outside. There will be a track vehicle that will have a claw that will collect rocks and things from the moons surface. The space suits that they will use will be made out Nylon Tricot, Spandex, Urathane coated Nylon, Dacron, Neoprean Coated Nylon, Mylar, Gortex, Kevlar, Nomex. There will be a hovercraft that will do the same thing as the tracked vehicle, but the back can also be severed as a transportation vehicle. All of the building supplies will stay in the normal shuttle and that will land as soon as the EVA people will make a landing strip for it to land on. Then the buildings will be put up within the hour of the normal ship landing.
Mission To The Moon
Human Needs
We are making models of different buildings where the people would have recreational things to do. Like one building has a tennis court in it. And there is an outhouse and there is also one with a big screen TV where they can watch movies. And we made a building with exercise equipment. That is what we are trying to model for recreation.
O2 & HO2 Catcher
For the oxygen catcher there will be three parts. The place for the fire to heat the material, then there is the place for the moon dust inserted and separated, then the bottle on top to catch the oxygen then there was a tube that you can get the oxygen from.For the water catcher there will be three legs then a tube through those legs to pound into the ground and suck up the ice. There will be a bottle on the top then a wire connected to the bottle to heat it up then there will be a small tube to get the water from.
We have come up with the idea of making a house in space. The outside would look like a bubble with a smaller bubble on top of that. On top of that bubble there will be a magnet. The magnet will be supper strong and will attract moon dust. When you walk in you will find yourself in an entryway. This entryway is to take off all of your astronaut gear and get rid of all the bad air. Then you will open the big FRENCH doors and are now in the house. To your left there is a kitchen with all of the great essentials. The. To your right there is a Utility room to get to the door you need to walk a little bit forward then take a right nest to the utility room there is a storage room. In the middle of the living room there us a skylight if you take a left you will soon find a door that leads into the gym/recreations room. It here there will be many things that can keep you busy, and is shape. There is a door from the gym that leads to the bathroom. From the bathroom you can go back into the gym or go into the animal-testing lab. Once you are in the Animal testing lab there are many testing tools. If you go through the open space you will be led into the Science lab from there you can go into the communication lab. The communication lab will help us to talk to our fellow American on the earth. To get out of the animal testing lab and the science lab you go out the FRENCH doors. Now you are back in the living room. If you go to the middle of the living room and take a left you will see a bunch of door. The first door is to the clinic that will save somebody's life. Then across from that there is 2 bedrooms. If you keep going strait you would reach the other bathroom. Right next to the FRECH doors there is a giant bookshelf that will help you find any information that you need on space. Around the outside of the house there will be solar panels that will move with the sun and allow us to get energy. The solar panels will power the buildings and the charged batteries are for the vehicles. Some of the power will go into the generator and it will power the station when there is no sun. There will be about 50 to 60 solar panels and these will power the whole station.

Capri Sun Commercial Glorifies Girl Dare-DevilismMike Adamick
It's going to be difficult to talk about this amazing commercial without actually showing it, but I searched and searched and searched and, alas, nada. Nothing. Zilch. Zip Zero.
Still, you may have already seen it, so I invite you to delight in all its glory … even if you haven't.
It's a simple, short commercial for Capri Sun, and it shows a young girl building some type of flying bike … thing. She's on the edge of a small cliff and it's obvious she's about to just chuck caution to the wind and go for it. I love this. I smile every time I see it.
If I'm going to rail against craptacular marketing toward our young girls, I need to also call attention to some gems, and Capri Sun really hit it out of the park with this one. Here's why. It hits so many levels of perfection. First, there's the girl in the lead role, while the boy looks on from below. How many times have you seen commercials where the opposite is true? Perhaps all the time. Then there's the idea that the girl engineered up this flying contraption that would make Da Vinci look on and say, "Sweet!"
But wait, in commercial parlance, there's more!
Just before the girl launches off the cliff, the ad shows a woman that is probably her mother. Now, most parents in today's bubble wrap society would probably be sprinting toward the flying bike, screaming at the poor girl to get off the thing and go wipe her hands with Purell. This commercial mom just gives a perfect, sardonic little smile, as if to say, "What have I raised?" There's no fear, no doom and gloom — just an eyeroll that says, "Crap, I'll probably be back at the ER again today." And she's perfectly OK with that.
I love everything about this commercial and wish it could be on all the time. I'm a believer that all the images in TV ads, movies, magazines, billboards, cell phones — you name it — add up and send a constant deluge of messages that little girls are less, that they should only focus on appearance, and no matter how much, as a parent, you talk about this stuff with your kids, there's still got to be some drip that sinks in. So kudos to Capri Sun for taking the opposite route and letting girls be kids, too. I love the message this sends to boys and girls, especially considering I probably built that same stupid bike when I was younger.
Now, is this enough to make me go out and buy Capri Sun? No, of course not. No self-respecting yuppified Type A granolaganic parent would let their kids close to the radioactivity of high fructose corn syrup in these things — despite the fact they probably drank them for post-sports snack with a Twinkie or a Ho-Ho at one point and turned out fine themselves. (The "MomSense" portion of the Capri Sun web site is also annoying — do dads not also have brains small enough to feed their kids sugary drinks in the morning?)
But still, attention should be paid to this gem of a commercial. I really wish more companies would take note.

How much alcohol is too much to drink?
One drink per day may reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest in women, but more than two drinks daily may increase the risks. According to data provided by JTO (Join Together Online) 79,000 deaths occur annually in the U.S. due to alcohol. About half of those deaths are attributed to binge drinking.
What is binge drinking? It used to be considered drinking heavily over several days. Today it's considered heavy consumption of alcohol over a short time: five or more drinks for men, four or more for women, raising the blood alcohol content (BAC) level to 0.08 percent within about two hours time, advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Binge drinking is not uncommon among college students and adults. It's been reported that one of three adults and two of three high school students binge drink. While college students are known to binge drink, the CDC says 70 percent of binge drinking is in adults age 26 and over.
Risks are involved when binge drinking: alcohol poisoning, unplanned pregnancy, violence, STDs transmission, car crashes, liver disease, sexual dysfunction, poor control of diabetes, poor academic performance and date rape, children born with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, high blood pressure, stroke, to name a few.
Most people who binge drink are not alcohol dependent, advises the CDC. It has been reported that 1,700 college students die each year from unintentional alcohol-related injuries. More than 5,000 underage youth die from alcohol misuse.
Education about drugs-and alcohol is a drug-is important for parents to share with their children. There are dangers associated with alcohol.
It affects the brain, which is especially risky for youth whose brains are still developing and for pregnant women whose unborn children can be affected forever by FASD, which effects can range between mild to severe retardation. It is a permanent condition which is completely preventable.
Alcohol overdose (poisoning) symptoms may include vomiting, seizures, hypothermia (low body temperature) pale, bluish skin color, cold and clammy skin, shallow breathing (less than 8 breaths per minute) and unresponsiveness, mental confusion, coma, irregular breathing (more than 10 seconds between breaths). The condition is serious and should be taken seriously because it can result in death. Waiting it out can result in a terrible tragedy.
What can happen to someone with alcohol poisoning that goes untreated? The victim chokes on his/her own vomit. Breathing slows, becomes irregular or stops. The heart beats irregularly or stops. Hypoglycemia (too little blood sugar) leads to seizures. Untreated severe dehydration from vomiting can cause seizures, permanent brain damage or death.
Don't be afraid to seek medical help for someone who has had too much to drink. Anger or embarrassment is better than death.

Rihanna. Topless. What more needs to be said?
While her boyfriend Chris Brown was feeling like Jesus following his fight with Frank Ocean, RiRi was busy taking her clothes off at a photo shoot.
"And that's a #wrap on my shoot for my new #topsecret add campaign!!!" she captioned a photo posted to her Instagram account yesterday (Jan. 28).
While the photo doesn't reveal everything, it finds her barely covering her chest area with what appears to be a blanket.
The sexy singer is no stranger to having her top half exposed. She recently appeared on the cover of Complex sans in a similar manner. You gotta love her.

California Deficit Swells to $16 Billion, Governor Brown Says
California Governor Jerry Brown said his state's budget deficit grew to $16 billion amid a tepid economic recovery that sapped tax collections even as actions by the federal government and courts blocked cost cutting measures.
The shortfall has widened from the $9.2 billion Brown estimated in January, after April income-tax revenue missed budget forecasts by $2 billion. He's set to unveil a revised spending plan tomorrow and said he will need to make cuts even deeper than he has already proposed.
Brown, 74, set out an initial budget in January with $92.6 billion in spending for fiscal 2013, which begins in July. That plan stripped more than $4 billion from health and welfare programs while relying on higher income and sales taxes. The levy increases will go before voters in November. If rejected, schools will lose $4.8 billion midway through the year.
"We are still recovering from the worst recession since the 1930s," Brown said yesterday in a YouTube video cited on his Twitter post. "Tax receipts are coming lower than expected and the federal government and the courts have blocked us from making billions of necessary budget reductions. The result is that we are now facing a $16 billion deficit.
"This means we will have to go much further and make cuts much greater than what I asked for at the beginning of the year," Brown said. "We can't fill a hole of this magnitude with cuts alone without doing severe damage to our schools. That's why I have bypassed the gridlock and am asking you, the people of California to approve a plan to avoid further cuts to schools and public safety."
Brown last week submitted more than 1.5 million signatures to place the tax measure on the ballot. It would temporarily raise the state sales tax, already the highest in the U.S., to 7.5 percent from 7.25 percent. It would also boost rates on income starting at $250,000. The 10.3 percent levy on those making $1 million or more would rise to 13.3 percent, the most of any state.

The 'Real' Value of Conflicted Analyst Coverage

This paper examines whether conflicted analyst research affects the firms under coverage. We develop a novel approach to identify a sample of firms whose coverage is mostly driven by analysts' private incentives to generate investment banking revenue. We find that conflicted analyst coverage is recognized by investors and its loss has little adverse effect on information efficiency, capital investment, cost of capital, and equity issuance. Our results suggest that firms attain little benefit when offering investment banking business in exchange for analyst coverage.

Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pulled off the most improbable of accomplishments in signing All-Stars Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson on the same day of MLB's winter meetings.
For the Angels, it has been a fairly busy offseason.
On Oct. 30—over a month before the big duo's arrival—the Halos lost third baseman Russell Branyan and pitchers Fernando Rodney, Joel Pineiro and Horacio Ramirez to free agency.
On Nov. 30, GM Jerry Dipoto dealt pitching prospect Tyler Chatwood to the Colorado Rockies for catcher Chris Iannetta, followed by the exchange of catcher Jeff Mathis for pitcher Brad Mills on Dec. 3 in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays.
On Dec. 7, the Angels reached an agreement with relief pitcher LaTroy Hawkins for a one-year deal and on Dec. 10 announced the signing of Albert Pujols followed almost immediately by the signing of C.J. Wilson.
Finally, on Dec. 12, the Angels tendered contracts to infielders Kendrys Morales, Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar and Alberto Callaspo while signing pitcher Jerome Williams to a one-year deal.
With all of these transactions and roster moves, Dipoto and owner Arte Moreno have placed the Angels in a position to contend for baseball's crown in 2012.
Each and every move the club has made in the past few months, however, has had a ripple effect on the projected 2012 lineup and starting rotation.
Read on to see exactly how far that effect will span and how the Angels' 2012 lineup will look in the face of these significant personnel moves—as long as everyone stays healthy.
First up is the batting order, followed by the starting rotation.

Talk about the perfect occasion for a kick-ass cake!
Cake Boss star Buddy Valastro is planning an over-the-top vow renewal ceremony with wife Lisa for their tenth anniversary on Oct. 14 – and the first step was a surprise proposal.
"I wanted to do something special and include our four kids in it," says Valastro, 34, father of Sofia, 8, Buddy Jr., 6, Marco, 4 and Carlo, 7 months, who filmed the surprise proposal for his hit TLC series, which returns Monday at 10 p.m. ET.
"The kids came to make cupcakes that spelled 'marry us' and when I brought her in, she looked down and saw it and she was so shocked," he says. "It was pretty cool. The kids were on their knees and I was too. My wife deserves it. She's such a good wife and mother."
What inspired Valastro to renew his vows?
"We got married in October 2001, less than a month away from Sept. 11 and as joyous an occasion as it was, everybody had a piece of their heart ripped out," Valastro says.
Lisa, 31, was also too scared to fly out on their planned Hawaiian honeymoon at the time, so Valastro says their vow renewal will take place somewhere tropical – and the cake will reflect the locale: "The cake is going to be a bit tropical with seashells and lace details."
And, yes, he's making it himself.
"I was tempted to make a replica of my first wedding cake but that would be too easy," he says. "I'm a better baker now. It has to be to be special."

The New York Rangers lost to the New Jersey Devils by the score of 5-3 in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Finals matchup. The Devils lead the series 3-2. For a recap and box score go to Yahoo! Sports.
…we Rangers fans love to recall 1994, and your current Blueshirts are going to need a 1994 replay to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals now. Anyone going to make a Messier-like guarantee tomorrow?
…tough, tough loss. As has been the case all season, the Rangers never gave up, but if you're going to spot your opponent a 3-0 lead, you make it real hard on yourself to win a hockey game.
…the funny thing about the loss is that it was the best the Rangers played the entire series and I feel real positive about their chances of coming back and winning Games 6 & 7. Lots of players who had been struggling really stepped up their game. Got to hope there's a carry over.
…now that's the Callahan we know and love. Absolute animal tonight.
…and Fedotenko wasn't that far behind him for best Ranger on the ice.
…did Del Zotto lose another relative today?
…not exactly the best time for Lundqvist to give up his worst goal of the playoffs.
…nice to see the reappearance of the forecheck.
…13-for-14 on faceoffs for Boyle.
…nothing great from Dubinsky, but still loved having him back out there. Lots of energy.
…with the way Prust played tonight, maybe every Rangers player should have gotten suspended for a game during the playoffs.
…epic Maaaaaaaaaaaarty chants by the Garden Faithful. Nice work!
…i guess demotions motivate Gaborik more than benchings as he was all over the ice.
…it's gotten so bad for Richards in this series, he's now trying to score on his own goal.
…tough playoffs just got tougher for Hagelin who lost Carter on the winner.
…another solid game for Kreider, but he's got to look to shoot a little more.
…remember Rangers fans, this team has been here before in these playoffs and know what it takes to get it done. Sure this one hurts, but no reason to think this series is over.
…off tomorrow then Game 6 on Friday, 18 years to the day of "The Guarantee" game.

There was more than stuff to like about Nola
August 7, 2014 - Mitch Rupert
There was so much to talk about by the time Aaron Nola was finished pitching in Reading on Wednesday night.
His velocity. The plus breaking ball. The work-in-progress change-up. How remarkably similar his delivery was to that of Pedro Martinez's.
The thought which wouldn't escape my head, though, is that I can't believe he was a college pitcher just two months ago. The polish, confidence and mound presence which exuded from Nola on a gorgeous summer night at FirstEnergy Stadium was inconceivable.
Since my first season covering the Williamsport Crosscutters in 2009, I've covered more than 75 percent of the pitchers the Philadelphia Phillies have drafted and signed out of college. Not one of them has come close to the command, the poise, and the presence Nola showed off Wednesday night in his Class AA debut.
The Phillies' first-round pick (No. 7 overall) in June's First-Year Player Draft lived up to the hype which surrounds a player taken as high in the draft as he was. By now, you already know the numbers: five innings, six hits, one run, four strikeouts. It's difficult to not pay attention to a player making his AA debut the same year he was drafted, especially in a minor league system as devoid of big league-ready pitching as the Phillies'.
But the impressive outing went far beyond just the numbers. It is easy to see why the Phillies and Director of Player Development Joe Jordan felt they could challenge Nola with this kind of promotion. The moment was never going to be too big for the right-hander, even in front of more than 6,300 fans, and 7,200 total people.
He's played in front of plenty of fans before in the baseball rabid SEC. An early May regular season game against Alabama drew more than 11,000 fans. The size of the crowd, or the size of the ballpark wasn't the concern.
Those in attendance were there to see how the stuff matched the hype. Even Ruben Amaro Jr. was there to watch.
Nola didn't disappoint. He could have given up six runs and those in attendance would have lauded his stuff. Phillies fans are looking for anything, and anyone, to give them a reason to be excited about the future of a fledgling franchise.
Nola is it. He's a sure-fire Top 100 prospect in all of baseball – just as a No. 7 overall pick should be. And added to the emergence of the likes of J.P. Crawford, Maikel Franco and Roman Quinn, there's beginning to be some hope at the top Phillies' system.
Touted as a player who could move through the minors very quickly, Nola was considered a safe bet as a prospect. He wasn't nearly as sexy a prospect as someone like Brady Aiken or Tyler Kolek, but closer to a sure-fire Major League player.
Don't be fooled, though. The stuff is fascinating. The fastball command was evident against a Harrisburg team which featured Cutter Dykstra, the son of former Phillies centerfielder Lenny Dykstra. Sixty-five percent of his 72 pitches Wednesday night were strikes. But maybe even more impressive were his misses. He was painting corners and looked to be trying to expand the strikezone when he could.
In my one inning sitting directly behind the plate, his fastball looked flat. It appeared he was throwing both a four-seam and two-seam fastball. The two-seamer is going to be the more important of the two as it'll help neutralize left-handed hitters. Video did show some arm-side run to the two-seamer, but nothing like what you used to see from the likes of a Kevin Millwood or a Vance Worley.
Although Nola has no problem commanding either side of the plate with his fastball, a good two-seamer won't give a left-handed hitter as comfortable a look as a constant four-seamer. In turn, it could make his change-up, which according to Baseball America was once a plus pitch, even that much better.
The change-up was definitely a work-in-progress in his first Reading start. He struggled to command the pitch, which showed some arm-side sink to it, the first time through the Harrisburg lineup. So he attacked the Senators primarily with his fastball during those first nine batters. He froze Dykstra twice with a fastball on the outside corner for a strikeout.
But maybe most impressive part of the night was the breaking ball Nola showed. He left it up a little too much for my liking over the course of the night, but with a fastball which topped out at 95 on one of the scouts' guns according to the Philadelphia Daily News' Matt Gelb, the breaking ball was the perfect complement pitch.
We can sit here all night and debate whether the pitch is a curveball or a slider. It shows more of a loopy hook like a curveball, but it's movement is more lateral than vertical, suggesting it's a slider. But whether it is one or the other is irrelevant to me at this point, because it's a true swing-and-miss pitch.
I don't know after one start if I can say Nola is bound to be a No. 1, 2 or 5 pitcher when he eventually does get to Philadelphia. For me, he still lacks some polish to be able to make that kind of determination. But I'd expect a player only 2 months removed from his last college game to lack that polish. And I expect, as Nola is approaching 170 innings for likely the first time in his life, that we may see a more polished and stronger version of him come spring training next year.
At this point, I think it's fair to say he could compete for a spot in the rotation come spring training, but that's based more on what the Phillies lack on the big league team than how good Nola actually is. But if you figure he has the chance to be stronger, fresher, and more polished by the time April rolls around next spring, you'd be obtuse to dismiss the idea of Aaron Nola in the big leagues completely to start the season.

I agree, but I have a few services that should be accessible by http (to avoid self-signed cert errors), so I use digest auth, with some stupid workaround for IE6. ĀWorks for me since I never have any reason to support IE5.x or older.

The hotel and banquet center construction project, predicted to be a "game changer" for the Eastwood Mall complex, is moving along on schedule, targeted for opening about a year from now.
Friday, Cafaro Co. spokesman Joe Bell stood in a muddy service courtyard that used to house the mall's maintenance garage and back-door access to many of the shopping center's in-line tenants. Now surrounded by a construction chain-link fence, a track hoe was meticulously pulling down rows of yellow brick around the former maintenance garage, making way for the new four-story 103-suite Residence Inn by Marriott hotel.
Officials with the Youngstown-based Cafaro Co., which owns the shopping mall, one of about 50 properties nationwide, believe the hotel and conference center will help make the mall even more of the Mahoning Valley's one-stop destination and travel center for dining and entertainment.
Article Video
Company co-president Anthony Cafaro Jr. has said the hotel and conference center belongs at the mall because ''the Eastwood Mall Complex isn't a typical shopping mall."
Area travel officials are hoping the project will benefit not just the shopping center, but the entire Mahoning Valley.
Travel to the area has been on the rise and is expected to increase even more as the oil and gas industry continues to take off due to the Utica Shale deep below the surface in northeast Ohio.

Joe Bell, Cafaro Co. spokesman, points out construction that has begun at the Eastwood Mall in Niles.
Still, that is not expected to be the driving force behind predicted success of this hotel and conference center.
Stephanie L. Sferra, Trumbull County Tourism Bureau executive director, said having the new conference center and hotel will be quite a draw when marketing Trumbull County.
''Because of not having a true conference center, we were limited,'' Sferra said last week, expressing her excitement with the plans. ''I am thankful that Anthony (Cafaro) Jr. and his people at the Cafaro Co. are doing this.''
The $14 million project has been under way since May. Inside the existing mall structure, offices and some in-line retail tenants have been re-located while part of the facility near Dillards in the shopping center's east end has been carved out, making way for the conference center. Inside the area, hidden from public view, rows of scaffolding soon will be removed to make way for new flooring, walls, ceilings and other construction.
Exit through a set of double doors, and crews were working last week in preparation for the erection of the hotel's steel frames expected to begin early in the new year.
Along with demolition of some exterior walls, Bell said utility and telephone lines have been unearthed and relocated, all without any major interruption of the retail business inside.
The hotel facility will be operated by TMI Hospitality of North Dakota. It is expected to serve the business community by providing a new venue for business conferences or weddings, accommodating groups of up to 1,000 dinner guests. The large ballroom also can be divided for smaller gatherings.
The Eastwood Mall Residence Inn will be the first TMI property attached to a shopping mall, and TMI president Rick Larson is excited for the new venture that he described as a "unique endeavor."
Visitors will access the hotel and banquet center by walking down the mall's northeast concourse, where LensCrafters and other businesses are located.
Other new retail development inside the mall, just in time for the start of the holiday season, includes the opening of Children's Place, a kids clothing store; Body Central, a women's apparel store; and the planned opening of Firebirds restaurant, expected to open in early December.

President Obama's plan to fundamentally transform the United States of America into a non-exceptional, humble and ordinary nation with a world program called "Leadership from Behind" has as a result opened the door for China, Russia and even Brazil to fill the void and assume world leadership.
The administration ran up almost $5 trillion in additional dept over the last four years, and forecasts are for $4 trillion of debt in the new four-year term. Between printing new money and selling debt to foreign countries, our debt service costs will bankrupt the country. The American dollar will be worth very little, and inflation will be rampAnt.
If Americans had done their homework, they would have discovered Obama's leanings toward anti-colonialism and the teachings of his father and his mentors. The result of all this is redistribution of wealth, a decreased standard of living for all and the downsizing of the Untied States of America. Good luck, and God bless America.

Totally off the topic you were pursuing, with E it is amusingly possible to do better than this if you're willing to forsake Apache. I actually wrote an itty-bitty Web Server in E with one special feature: if you request a file that ends with ".cap", the server presumes that the file contains a single line of information, the uri of an E program to which to forward the query string and the output stream. So the E Web Server does not need access to source files or executable files, and does not need to launch or cache or fool with program execution, it just calls headless servers written in E. And since E has much of the cool string handling from Perl, it works pretty well. And of course the E servers can reside anywhere, on the same machine with the Web server, on another machine on the LAN where the Web server resides, or at a location half way around the globe across the Web. My Web server is not production quality in a number of dimensions, but if anyone has a use for it, it is available. --marcs

KAHULUI - The fall semester at the University of Hawaii Maui College, with its new name beginning to take hold in the community, begins Monday with nearly 90 more students than last year and growth in programs and facilities.
There is a new four-year degree - bachelor of applied science in sustainable science management - that received its accreditation last week, a new Hawaiian music program to help young artists get in the business, a blessing Friday of the new Hawaiian studies building, the Kaiao Student Success Center; and a book rental program to help students reduce costs by as much as 50 percent.
These are happening times at the college, which opened its doors in 1931 as Maui Vocational School. In 1958, the school became Maui Technical School and in 1965, Maui Community College. About a year and a half ago, the UH Board of Regents approved the current name, University of Hawaii Maui College.

Construction continues at the $25 million University of Hawaii Maui College science building. It is expected to be completed by next July.
The Maui News / AMANDA COWAN photo
This is a rendering of the new science building currently under construction on the University of Hawaii Maui College campus. It is expected to be completed by next July.
To further spotlight the name change and the growth of the island's only public postsecondary institution, a "Launch Celebration" will be held Friday, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m., on the Kahului campus. Residents are invited to the free event.
Susan Wyche, special projects coordinator in the chancellor's office, explained that the celebration was an opportunity to promote the college offering three four-year degree programs as well as other new opportunities.
The rebranded college has shown another semester of enrollment growth - 2.2 percent as of Aug. 11, said Alvin Tagomori, vice chancellor for student affairs. There were 4,057 students enrolled, up from 3,969 on the same day last year.
Since the Great Recession began in 2008, the number of students at the college has grown 45 percent from about 2,800 students in 2007, he said.
"A lot of it (the enrollment growth) is driven by the recession. . . . That's one of the major contributors to it," Tagomori said.
Some of the growth also can be tabbed to efforts by the college to increase enrollment, including working with high schools to offer college-level courses that also meet high school graduation requirements, he said.
In fact, the 88 high school students enrolled last spring at the Maui College was the highest in the UH Community College System, Tagomori said.
The opening of the 400-bed private housing complex Kulanaa'o in Kahului also has brought more students to the college, especially from Molokai and Lanai. In the future, the college hopes to attract more students from the Mainland and internationally.
"We anticipate the economy is going to improve," so the school is laying the groundwork "for new flows coming to the campus," Tagomori said.
The growth has led to dramatic increases in liberal arts and allied health program enrollments, he said.
"Health is huge," he said, noting increases in nursing and dental programs. The liberal arts growth could be attributed to the baccalaureate programs offered at UH-MC and through the University of Hawaii Center, Maui, with students completing their liberal arts requirements at the college, he said.
UH-MC has been able to handle the enrollment growth from the facilities point of view because of the new buildings that have gone up on campus in recent years. It has been more of a challenge getting qualified faculty and lecturers to fill the expanded class offerings, he said.
New campus facilities
The college sent a report to the Senate Ways and Means Committee this month listing the recently completed capital improvement projects, those in progress and those on the drawing board. The list includes:
* Modular nursing buildings. Three buildings, totaling 3,312 square feet, were occupied in spring 2010. The construction cost was about $1.5 million for the project that included a nursing laboratory, a classroom and five offices.
* Kaiao (to enlighten) Student Success Center. The 2,000-square-foot structure built on the concrete slab of the old nursing building was occupied in February and will be blessed in a public ceremony from 3:45 to 6 p.m. Friday. The $1.1 million center, built with federal and state funds, houses programs that help homeless families with homeownership and rental assistance counseling and after-school child care, educational support programs for Native Hawaiians, and offices for the UH-Maui College Hawaiian Studies program. Kaiao also is a community gathering place.
* Science building. The $25 million project will include classrooms, offices, laboratories, an auditorium and a telescope. The structure, which will have a 100-kilowatt photovoltaic and 16-kilowatt wind turbine rooftop system, is expected to be completed next July.
* Renovation of the old science building. When the new science building is completed, the interior of the old science building will be renovated to house dental hygiene and oral health laboratories and classrooms for the allied health program. Designs for the $4.5 million project are scheduled for completion in December, with construction to begin next July.
* Hale Haumana student housing conversion to a hospitality laboratory. The unique private-college partnership will create a learning laboratory for the UH-Maui College Hospitality and Tourism program. The four wooden structures of Hale Haumana were built in 1981 and served as student housing until the opening of Kulanaa'o in 2009. The plan is for the college to renovate the exteriors of the buildings, which have deteriorated due to age and exposure to salt breeze, and have resorts and hotels on Maui "Adopt the Room" and convert them into resort-level hotel suites. With financial support from the Grand Wailea and the UH Community College system, designs for the conversion of Hale Haumana into a hospitality lab is nearly complete. The estimated construction cost to renovate the exteriors of the buildings is $3.5 million. The college is seeking grants and other funds to finance the work.
In addition to the buildings, the report also said the college inked a long-term energy performance contract with Johnson Controls for $8.7 million in energy-efficiency projects over the next year. These included installing a central chiller loop system for air conditioning, energy-efficient lighting, solar water heaters, electric vehicle charging stations, waterless urinals and several interactive public kiosks that will provide a dashboard display of the colleges' energy consumption in real time. The college is expected to reduce its energy consumption by more than 20 percent and is projected to save $4.7 million in energy costs over the term of the contract.
On Molokai, the report said, the college is in the process of acquiring 3.2 acres of undeveloped land for the expansion of the Molokai Education Center. Molokai Ranch and UH-MC have agreed on a $400,000 purchase price, and the governor has released $500,000 for the purchase and planning costs. The execution date of the purchase agreement is expected to be in December.
New programs offered
Accompanying the growing facilities on campus are two new programs to be launched this year.
The bachelor of applied science in sustainable science management, which received its accreditation last week, will supply the work force with environmental planners and managers and sustainability coordinators, said John McKee, vice chancellor of academic affairs. It is the college's third bachelor's degree offering and will focus on renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation.
The college has designed the program in response to the passage of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative that calls for the state to have 70 percent clean energy resources by 2030, he said.
The students receiving the new bachelor's degree, which combines business and science disciplines, will be trained for new and emerging jobs. Some resorts already have hired sustainability coordinators, who sometimes pay for themselves with energy savings, McKee said.
He cited a study showing 2,100 jobs in sustainability currently on Oahu; that number is expected to rise to more than 16,000 by 2030, a nearly 700 percent increase.
"The need for this kind of profession is going to grow stronger and stronger," he said.
UH-Hilo has shown interest in having UH-MC offer the program on its campus, McKee said. The bachelor's program will be a specialty of UH-MC, which will be "the anchor for that need" in the state UH Community College system, he said.
The other major academic program expansion involves the creation of the Institute for Hawaiian Music with Grammy Award-winning George Kahumoku Jr. as its program director, McKee said.
The details of the program, which will be offered in the spring, still are being worked out, but the goal is to develop the talent of local musicians interested in launching a career in music.
The curriculum will touch upon business, recording and Hawaiian studies to help create "music grounded in some tradition," McKee said.
In the fall, there will be auditions for 15 to 20 spots in the program.
"There is so much talent here," he said.
Renting textbooks
To reduce costs for students in the UH system, UH Bookstores is offering a rental book program on selected titles, its website said. Many of the titles are 50 percent off the new and used book purchase costs.
Books may be obtained at the school bookstore or online. The rental deadline for the return of books is Dec. 16, at 3:30 p.m., the website said.
"Modest levels of writing and highlighting are allowed," the website rental service terms said. "If a book is returned with a copious amount of writing or highlighting, a damage fee may be charged."
To avoid damage fees, the book cover can have no noticeable damage, pages must be intact with no creases, tears or stains, and no damage to the binding.
There is a $15 charge for minor damage. If the book is deemed unusable, the renter will be charged the cost of a new book, minus the rental fee.
