WASHINGTON — Just when you thought you had the president's health care law figured out, it's changing.
Some questions and answers about what's afoot and who's affected:
Q: What's the change, and why is President Barack Obama changing course now?
A: The president is letting insurance companies offer another year of coverage under their existing plans even if those plans don't meet the requirements set out in his law. He's doing so because of mounting frustration over the millions of cancellation notices going out to Americans whose plans don't measure up to the law's coverage standards.
Q: Problem solved?
A: Not so fast. Obama's so-called fix doesn't force insurance companies to do anything. It gives them the option of extending old plans for existing customers in the individual market, and only if state insurance commissioners also give their OK.
Q: Why wouldn't insurance companies let people re-up?
A: The companies aren't happy about being thrown a curve ball after they've already firmed up 2014 rates and plans. It will take a while to see how many of them agree to reinstate old plans for another year — and at what price.
Q: The changes mainly affect the 5 percent of people who get their own insurance policies through the individual market. What's the big deal?
A: In a country of more than 300 million people, 5 percent is a big number. Roughly 14 million people buy their own policies, and many of those plans are not just junk insurance, contrary to what White House officials suggest. Already, more than 4 million people have gotten cancellation notices. And some small businesses are losing coverage for their workers too.
Plus, if the government can't get its HealthCare.gov website running better by Dec. 15, some people who got cancellations run the risk of having a break in coverage.
Q: So people who successfully make the switch to the new insurance marketplaces can rest easy?
A: Not really. If lots of healthy people who get cheaper insurance through the individual market end up keeping that coverage instead of switching to the more robust plans offered through "Obamacare," that could weaken the financial footing of plans offered by the insurance marketplaces.
Q: I get my insurance through my job. Do I need to worry?
A: The vast majority of people with employer-based plans shouldn't be affected by the changes announced by Obama.

DES PLAINES – Authorities say a suburban Chicago elementary school was damaged in a fire blamed on children playing with fireworks.
Des Plaines Fire Chief Alan Wax told local media that firefighters responding to the blaze about 4:30 p.m. Saturday at Algonquin Middle School managed to keep the blaze from making its way into the building.
Police say they suspect three children – two 12-year-olds and a 13-year-old – were playing with fireworks when the blaze began near plastic crates outside an entrance to the building's mechanical and receiving room.
A school district official, John Pahlman, said the fire caused an estimated $20,000 in damage.
There's no immediate word about charges.
The school building was unoccupied at the time of the blaze.

Stare Decisis and Constitutional Text
Jonathan F. Mitchell
Stanford Law School
June 1, 2011
Michigan Law Review, Forthcoming
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 11-25
Almost everyone acknowledges that stare decisis should play a significant role when the Supreme Court of the United States resolves constitutional cases. Yet the academic and judicial rationales for this practice tend to rely on naked consequentialist considerations, and make only passing efforts to square the Court's stare decisis doctrines with the language of the Constitution. This Article offers a qualified defense of constitutional stare decisis that rests exclusively on constitutional text. It aims to broaden the overlapping consensus of interpretive theories that can support constitutional stare decisis, but to do this it must narrow the circumstances in which stare decisis can be applied.

Album Review
Double live albums were commonplace during the '70s, even for bands that weren't particularly good in concert. As a travelin' band,
Lynyrd Skynyrd
made their fame and fortune by being good in concert, so it made sense that they released a double-live, entitled
One More from the Road
, in 1976, months after the release of their fourth album,
Gimme Back My Bullets
. That might have been rather quick for a live album -- only three years separated this record from the group's debut -- but it was enthusiastically embraced, entering the Top Ten (it would become one of their best-selling albums, as well). It's easy to see why it was welcomed, since this album demonstrates what a phenomenal catalog of songs
Street Survivors
, which appeared the following year, added "That Smell" and "You Got That Right" to the canon, but this pretty much has everything else, sometimes extended into jams as long as those of
the Allmans
, but always much rawer, nearly dangerous. That catalog, as much as the strong performances, makes
One More from the Road
worth hearing. Heard here, on one record, the consistency of
's work falls into relief, and they not only clearly tower above their peers based on what's here; the cover of "T for Texas" illustrates that they're carrying on the Southern tradition, not starting a new one. Like most live albums, this is not necessarily essential, but if you're a fan, it's damn hard to take this album off after it starts.

"Castlethorpe, formerly a Chapelry of Hanslape, but in modern times
made a distinct parish, is bounded, by Hanslape on the North; by Gayhurst
and Little Linford on the East; by Haversham on the South; and by the
County of Northampton on the West; from which it is separated, partly
by a small stream, called the Towe, and partly by the Ouse. The soil is
a loamy clay."

Castlethorpe was described in 1806 in "Magna Britannia" as follows:
CASTLETHORPE, in the hundred and deanery of Newport, lies about three miles to the north of Stony-Stratford, on the borders of Northamptonshire. At this place was the ancient castle of the barony of Hanslape, taken and demolished in 1217, by Foulkes de Brent, when it was garrisoned against the king by its owner William Mauduit, one of the rebellious barons. It is most probable that it was never rebuilt: the site exhibits traces of very extensive buildings. The manor of Castlethorpe passed as an appendage of Hanslape, from the Mauduits to the Beauchamps and Nevilles, and eventually merged in the crown. In the reign of Charles II. it was granted to Sir Thomas Tyrrell, one of the justices of the Common Pleas, whose son procured an act of parliament in 1704, to enable him to sell this manor and other estates for the payment of his debts. Some years afterwards it was purchased either of the Tyrrells, or of some person to whom it had been sold under the above-mentioned act, by Sarah Duchess of Marlborough. It is now the property of Earl Spencer, whose grandfather became possessed of it under the will of the duchess. In the parochial chapel of Castlethorpe, Which is an appendage of Hanslape, is a handsome monument in memory of Sir Thomas Tyrrell, above mentioned, who died in 1671. The parish of Castlethorpe has been inclosed by an act of parliament, passed in 1793, when an allotment of land was assigned to the corporation of Lincoln, as impropriators of the great tithes.
The name Castlethorpe means: 'The village (old english thorp) by the castle' of Hanslope, the head of the barony of that name.

The county's refusal to allow the local Republican Party to use a local recreation center for a political event has angered the group.
Sandy McGarry, chairwoman for the Lancaster County Republican Party, spoke at Lancaster County Council's meeting May 9 to discuss her frustration in reserving space at the Buford Recreation Center. McGarry spoke only minutes before council discussed creating a policy regarding the use of county-owned facilities.
KERSHAW – Town of Kershaw employees will soon have health coverage that offers cheaper co-pays for doctor visits.
Town Council voted unanimously at its meeting Monday to use Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina as its health insurance provider beginning July 1.
The town began looking for a new provider after the S.C. Local Government Assurance Group (LGAG) announced it would be dissolving after June.
LGAG is run by the Municipal Association of South Carolina.
Lancaster County planning staff will hold two charrettes, or open house meetings, with county residents in the next week regarding changes to the county's Unified Development Ordinance.
The meetings will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21, and 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, May 26, in council chambers (Room 224) of the Lancaster County Administration Building, 101 N. Main St.

Two men reported being robbed this weekend by someone impersonating a police officer.
The separate robberies happened sometime between 10:15 and 11:35 p.m. Saturday, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office press release.
The Indian Land Volunteer Fire Department will be out in force this weekend helping raise money to send a local teen on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
The event, called Fill the Helmet, will be between 8:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21, in the Food Lion parking lot on U.S. 521 (Charlotte Highway) and at the nearby intersection of U.S. 521 and Shelley Mullis Road.
The fundraiser is intended to help Make-A-Wish of South Carolina send Grayson Thomas, 14, on a dream trip to California.
A Lancaster woman is recuperating after she was hit in the back of the head with an ashtray during an attack last weekend.
Lancaster County sheriff's deputies responded to a possible assault at a Lancaster home at 11:28 a.m. May 7. The deputies spoke with a woman at the scene who said a man had assaulted another woman there, according to a sheriff's office incident report.
Local authorities are investigating whether two separate attacks on pedestrians within hours of each other on April 26 are related.
Deputies first responded at 1:26 a.m. to a Mosteller Drive resident in Lancaster who said he was assaulted as he walked. The 23-year-old man told a deputy he was walking at 1:10 a.m. in front of Mosteller Automotive & Wrecker Service, at 514 Mosteller Drive, when a white Honda Civic pulled up next to him.
You may compare this event to a carnival. The main difference, though, is that none of the activities will cost you anything.
Freedom Freewill Baptist Church will host its second annual Kids/Family Day this Saturday. The event, beginning at 11 a.m., will be held at the church, located at 1697 N. Rocky River Road in the Buford community.
There will be several games and activities for children, including inflatables, a petting zoo and face painting. Horseback riding will also be available.
From release
Registration is open for the Hi Kee summer enrichment program, sponsored by Steele Hill Community Partners Inc.
Hi Kee is a six-week literacy-based program for students who will be in grades kindergarten through eighth grade in the fall.
"Research indicates that students who are not actively engaged in some type of educational program during the summer lose some of what they learned during the school year," said Hi Kee program director Fred Witherspoon.

Frisky Friday Art: Faye's Magic Lamp
Faye's Magic Lamp, drawing by jude cowell 2008…not Aladdin's Lamp prexactly, but you may still click to enlarge for the genie just may appear.
So why, Frisky Friday Art? Friday is the day of Venus who appreciates the creative arts! (Perhaps not mine, but generally speaking, she does.)
And it's my poor attempt to balance the weightier and lamentable subject matter to be found here bwo astrologically based comments on…ugh and arghhh…politics, that organized system of hatreds in process of overtaking, undermining, and overwhelming our lives.
For the majority of our global population, the New Millennium sux so far–and I blame it primarily on racketeering, warmongering, conscience-free sociopaths. How 'bout you?
(And please don't pretend you don't know their names.)
Is NYC ready for sub-machine guns on streets?
Brought to you by George Bush…Torch Teams in NYC?
Doomsday police units to patrol city subways
Abe Lincoln levels with us on men with power
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power": Abraham Lincoln
Yeah, that's one of the things powerful Pluto is up to as he plods through authoritative Capricorn now…testing men's characters.
Yet for some folk (and I think of posturing politicians in particular) the test ends before it begins, doesn't it? No point in testing the well after you've seen that the water's all dried up.
How I applauded (while ROFLMBO) those Ethics Classes on the Hill we were promised. Wonder how that brilliant plan is going? Any graduates yet? Maybe one of them should be president.
Perhaps We-the-People can institute a program for newbies as they head for Capitol Hill…first title that pops into my noggin is: Remedial Ethics…? Seems they all specialize in advanced Gamebirds Feathering Their Nests 101, 102, 103…etc.
These seminars will be discontinued due to the Cash Cow drying up along with the well.

Medical information is increasingly available on computer networks.
To familiarize the pediatrician with some of the terms associated with these on-line resources, and to describe what is available via the Internet and dial-up computer bulletin boards.
Data Sources:
Information for this article was taken from publicly available on-line services and Internet servers.
Data Extraction:
Only resources relevant to pediatric practice were included.
Data Synthesis:
Medical information on the Internet is in a state of evolution. Useful resources for pediatricians are sparse but expanding rapidly.
Pediatricians may use on-line computer networks to communicate. Familiarity with computer networks will become more important to pediatricians as electronic medical records, on-line medical literature, and telemedicine (the practice of medicine over long distances) become more common. Medical libraries and commercial on-line services are good places to begin to investigate the availability of medical information over computer networks.(Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1995;149:1160-1168)

Canyon Drive-In
SW Canyon Road,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 4 comments
The Canyon Drive-in was around until at least the early 80s. I remember seeing USED CARS on the marquee.
Approx. addresses for this drive-in were 1) 11705 Southwest Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy. 2) 3800 SW Lombard Ave.
The Canyon drive in was first (1950's) on land between Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy & Canyon Rd (near present day Fred Meyer store). It then moved across to the north side of Canyon Rd (near a mobile home park). There is a shopping complex on that site now. The theater was gone by mid 1970's.
Back in the 50's and 60's, we used to drive from the Capitol Hill/Burlingame area, westbound, down the Bertha-Beaverton Highway, (Hwy 10), now called the Beaverton Hillsdale Highway and the entrance to the Canyon Drive In was/is now actually the north entrance to Hwy 217! All one has to do is figure out when they designed the freeway, demolished the surrounding businesses and constructed Hwy 217 to figure out the basic closing date of the drive-in. My gut says the very late 60's/early 70's. I'd love to see some old photos! I'll keep looking!

MGS HD Review
Bluepoint Games has done an admirable job collating one of gaming's most unique, important and frustrating franchises.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is Hideo Kojima trying to cross a generational gap. Metal Gear Solid 4 was Sony's high-profile exclusive title for the PlayStation 3, but its icky convoluted mess was hardly a good entry point for series beginners.
Where was everyone in 2010? Western kids were screaming profanities down the microphone thanks to Call of Duty, but Japanese children were hitting their gaming maturity with Capcom's phenomenally successful Monster Hunter series on the PSP. Metal Gear: Peace Walker decided it would very much like a piece of that action, thank you very much - it even went to the effort of including some special Monster Hunter levels.
This is a pick-up-and-play Metal Gear designed for a handheld, giving you over 100 (though many are optional) quick bursts of content. There's a heavy RPG-flavour, as you recruit enemy soldiers and POW's into your militia gang and then grind yourself some better weapons and equipment. If you've got a PSP save file kicking around, it can also be imported into this PS3 version.
Controls have been scaled back from previous Metal Gear Solid games, thanks to the PSP's limited selection of inputs, ridding Snake of many of his abilities but ensuring its environments have been designed to compensate. Dual stick support has, however, been introduced in this HD collection.
Metal Gear Solid 3's immaculate sense of direction and authorship are completely gone, however, and in their stead are a plot and context that can politely be described as utter bobbins. The gut-wrenching final twist, awarded if you manage to progress through the entire glut of optional content, completely undoes the game.
Much of Peace Walker has been designed to be played co-operatively, and many Western gamers will likely find this HD Collection (and its online options) their first genuine opportunity to do so. Nowhere is this emphasis on the co-operative more apparent than in the game's boss fights, which are little more than routine wars of attrition as you all stand in a clump and fire off streams of rockets until the target keels over.
The game looks surprisingly good when upscaled on a console, but its blocky polygons are still somewhat lacking when compared to the wonderful job done on Metal Gear Solid 3. Still, it's a testament to the quality of the original work that a handheld title holds up this well under HD scrutiny.
Bluepoint Games has done an admirable job collating one of gaming's most unique, important and frustrating franchises. Metal Gear Solid has always been a complicated beast; a series with a pressing anti-war sentiment that seems to simultaneously revel in bombastic action flicks, set in a world where the cheeky upskirt camera shot is the only thing more important than an elaborate interrogation of the human condition. Kojima's oeuvre is as bold as it is hokey, and for all its faults this is an engaging universe that is never dull except for when it is.

The act or practice of cutting into or otherwise injuring living animals, especially for the purpose of scientific research... hey, the above guy didn't give a good def so I cut 'n' pasted from Dictionary.com...
There's a chicken on the table.. tied down by leather straps. The smiling scientist comes over with a large knife while the chicken tries to get away. Then, the smiling scientist jabs the knife into the chicken's side, trailing down its organs, allowing the lungs and liver to fall unto the table. The chicken, miraculously, is still alive but in a world of hurt. The smiling scientist then grabs a small hammer and smashes the fowl-play's beak. This sends the poor poultry into shock, then dies in pain as the smiling scientist gently snaps its ribs out of its bloody chest.. one by one...

* * * * * Trifonic * * * * *
Trifonic is brothers Brian and Laurence Trifon, a San Francisco based electronic act that seamlessly fuses experimental production wizardry with beautiful melodies and traditional song structures to craft music that is simultaneously unexpected and accessible.
On their 2008 debut album Emergence, Trifonic combines elements of downtempo electronica, IDM, post-rock and classical music to create a deep, lush musical experience distinctly their own.
Despite growing up under the same roof in Berkeley, California, Brian and Laurence launched their musical careers from opposite ends of the spectrum. Brian took up guitar at the age of 10 with only one intention: Shredding. "I had big dreams for becoming the next Steve Vai guitar hero," he recalls.
Meanwhile, his older brother was living and breathing hip-hop. "I wrote my first rap song when I was in 5th grade," Laurence remembers. "It was about me not wanting to go to school on a Monday morning."
Although Brian's heavy-metal dreams did not pan out, he did master the guitar sufficiently to enroll in USC's prestigious Studio Guitar program. It was during this time that he began to explore electronic music and production. Upon graduating in 2004, Brian went to work as a guitarist and programmer for famed electronica artist BT.
Laurence, meanwhile, continued to write and perform as an emcee in several hip-hop groups throughout his school years. As a student at Stanford University, he also began to gravitate towards electronic music.

Samsung Galaxy S5 vs Apple iPhone 5S
0. phoneArena 07 Apr 2014, 23:02 posted on
The Samsung Galaxy S5 and Apple iPhone 5s duo resurrect the Android vs iOS rivalry in full force, that's why we are staging a cage match between the design, specs and performance paradigms of the mobile juggernauts' flagships for the season.
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

S5 over 5S any day
5. sgodsell (Posts: 3637; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
Who ever wrote this article love iPhone more. The Samsung S5 to date has the most accurate display to date.
13. The-Sailor-Man (banned) (Posts: 1095; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)
Yup. All the tech sites are found by ifans. No matter what name of the site they use, and what they pretend to be.
About the display , should I believe on ifan "review" or this:
"[The Galaxy S5] has a long list of new records for best smartphone display performance including: Highest Brightness, Lowest Reflectance, Highest Color Accuracy, Infinite Contrast Ratio, Highest Contrast Rating in Ambient Light, and smallest Brightness Variation with Viewing Angle," DisplayMate concludes. "
It's same thing about the (useless)FingerPrintScanner. Soon we will see that S5's FPS works better than iphones from different angles, simply the iboys didn't make the right set-up.
And everything else.
S5 beats to the groung iphone5S in everything(even the desugn)

"the Galaxy S5 really makes the "LCD offers more natural colors" argument useless." .....gsmarena's review of the galaxy s5 display (& dislaymate)
24. imran86 (Posts: 174; Member since: 14 Sep 2012)
PhoneArena on S5 Display
the S5 screen still has that cold feel, as its screen emphasizes green and blue. Here we should note that although the AMOLED screens of Samsung flagships are not very color-accurate, most people like them for that "wow" factor of their oversaturated imagery.
GSMArena on S5 Display
The color rendering has also been tweaked and now the Cinema mode offers as true to life colors as any other smartphone on the market. Not that the Galaxy S4 wasn't close enough for most purposes practical, but the Galaxy S5 really makes the "LCD offers more natural colors" argument useless. And, as usual, Samsung offers more saturated screen modes if you prefer your images punchy rather than accurate.

Man this bias of phonearena is world famous. I've seen many people commenting on other sites about phonearena bias. PA dont become like BGR. See what gsmarena(the most reliable review site) said about iphone's screen and camera. Lol.

Better Display
Better processor
Better camera

Better features
better battery
Better storage

Now you tell me which phone is better?
10. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
s5 is obviously the winner. Seriously, I've never heard from pa claiming that an opponent smartphone has won against an iPhone
11. strikercho (banned) (Posts: 156; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
I am not surprised. 5S is still the king. What I do wonder, is why there are still people who buy Samsung. Even Chinese brands offer more premium looks and better displays.
21. darkkjedii (Posts: 21289; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
You've got the Sammites crying with that one lol.
23. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
If they are cranking out premium handsets in the sweat shops EASILY, and it takes the best Korean manufacturer in the world to do the GS5, then you might want to rethink if the sweat shop process is truly the premium one here. It obviously doesn't cost a lot or the china brands wouldn't use those materials.
12. greatoneiw (Posts: 41; Member since: 08 Apr 2014)
lol , this is just hilarious
all new android phones are keep losing to iphone :))))
i'm just waiting for lg g3 , and PA be like :
LG G3 2K 550 ppi screen is equal to iphone 5s and we liked i phone's more...
you guys are awesome...keep it up for steve jobs ;)

Why don't you stop coming to this site, go buy all these phones, and do your own reviews.
14. teknoboy (Posts: 1; Member since: 23 Feb 2014)
İphone 5S is better than galaxy S5 ;)
15. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Lol did you see during the finger print sensor comparison when he was saying the s5 sensor was more finicky then he purposely tried to make it fail by swiping bent and swiping fast, only the 3rd time when he tried to make it fail it failed because he barely touched the sensor. No doubt the 5s implementation is better just saying the s5 wasn't bad itself even when he tried to make it look bad.. Display Yh pa I'll take display mate more seriously, people who are qualified to test display, I have no idea what method you use. 1 handed use yes 5s is better obviously but the s5 does have a 1 handed mode where the whole screen shrinks to the size of a 4" or any size you want making it easy to reach all areas with 1 hand.
16. kopkiwi (Posts: 50; Member since: 31 May 2013)
You guys are fast becoming a fkcing joke. Your bias is crystal bloody clear.

It's quite obvious that PhoneArena doesn't know what it's doing.
1. The photo comparisons were taken at different orientations (portrait vs landscape), changing the color balance.
2. Photo comparisons in low light were not exposed to the same amount of light.
3. Photos were taken at different angles and were laughably amateur.
It's sad because I am choosing between these two phones soon, but after seeing all the bias in favor of the iPhone, I don't know if I can trust the word of any non-technical person anymore regarding this topic.
Also, I don't know who Daniel P. is, but he sure seems like an idiot.
I'm going back to GSM Arena for more trustworthy reviews. At least they are objective over there.
30. vishalaestro (Posts: 81; Member since: 08 Dec 2013)
Go to anandtech. Com and read the review for s5 I would recommend for anybody if
they need toread review for any tech products.
31. verty (Posts: 122; Member since: 07 May 2012)
Now I know that even phone arena staff is full of nothing but trolls. I am so upset at this unbalanced twisted misleading unhealthy deceitful offensive comparison. And I suggest a visit to the psychologist for a head check. Even if you are biased be biased to yourself and deceive yourself for as long as you like. How dare you call s5 premium. Forget it that phone feels lovely and super comfortable to hold. Let me add that there is nothing premium feeling about the iPhone. Boring unexciting phone. I used it and absolutely nothing spectacular. I sold it for a z30 and boy do I love the bb10 OS. Nicer gestures I tell you. I have a note 3 and that phone is a beast. I feel heaven every time I use that phone. Daniel P should be fired and then banned from all tech site.
Phone arena should really check articles like this. It really depreciates your equity as a brand and dilutes it too. How dare Daniel P!!!!!!!

The only thing holding me back from getting any Android device is Imessage, even though you all might think it is not important I use it so much and would rather use imessage than text, so if Android came out with something like Imessage I would definitely get an Android phone.

Gsmarena can't be trusted anymore ... they are taking money from samsung... they removed the user score system, samsung phones had the worst scores. bad mouth samsung there and your posts will disappear...welcome to the new gsmarena
I have a S5, mic is a piece of s**t , so many people with mic problems on the s5, caused by bad software, bad design and defective mic...i though ok the phone looks ugly was s**t but gsmarena review as positive... users review was s**t... money wasted.

I was at my MIL's last night and we were talking (my SIL and BIL were there too) about how you're seeing more boys with 'man boobs' (but they aren't fat!) and girls maturing faster and how it was all being caused by the hormones and chemicals in our foods (I was just listening). I said, not at my house. I buy clean meat whenever I can, and it's getting far easier to find, so that's what's in my house now.
Good so far, right?
My MIL then proceeds to give my daughter one of those packages of fake cheese and crackers. Ugh.

Posted 08 November 2013 - 04:54 AM
Perhaps Mule is taking a page from the Peter Forsberg book of "Oh, my, I am hurt/ill until the playoffs and then suddenly I am well!!"
Only in Forsbergs case he took more punishment than anyone else and really needed that time off to heal. Franzén has neither given or recieved a hit in the last three seasons or so.
Posted 08 November 2013 - 08:14 AM
I dont think so but whatever is done is done for the team if one has a fake injury then the management should be made responsible not the whole team.
Posted 08 November 2013 - 08:52 AM
Posted 08 November 2013 - 09:05 AM
Franzen needs better linemates...Considering Cleary will ALWAYS and FOREVER clog up the top six wing spot. Franzen - Helm - Tatar
I disagree. I think Franzen is the anchor to his teammates now. That includes Cleary. Cleary is terrible but at-least hes out there busting his butt every shift.
Posted 08 November 2013 - 10:55 AM
But his butt-busting isn't helping us. He loses every race for the puck, turns over the puck all the time, makes poor decisions and is always behind the play. Right now the fact is Cleary isn't doing anything, and is more frequently hurting the team than Franzen. Franzen doesn't really hurt the team at all. He just doesn't help as much as he could.
Posted 08 November 2013 - 11:52 AM
It would be completely against the rules if they were faking an injury just to circumvent the roster/cap crunch, I highly doubt it. Hockey teams have a very long history of not disclosing injuries, it happens all the time in this sport, doesn't mean it is some conspiracy.
The Franzen hate on this board is ridiculous sometimes. Just because he's not scoring at the completely unsustainable pace that he was on for like two months back in 2008, people here expect him to be this 50 goal scorer all the time. You guys act like he's making Heatley money and scoring 0 points a season when the reality is over the years he has played and scored at an entirely appropriate pace for someone with his contract.
Funny that everyone on here will ***** and moan endlessly about Franzen (who we now know to be injured in some capacity) but no one is saying anything about Weiss - who makes significantly more money, and is scoring quite a bit less with more games played.

Posted 08 November 2013 - 12:12 PM
I doubt it. Doing so would be a severe breach of league policy. And if management were actually doing it, then it would be Samuelsson rather than Franzen.
Sammy will be perfectly healthy all season, purely out of spite. Kinda like that 98 year old neighbor who only hangs onto life because they know it makes everyone else miserable.

Syntax Spirits named a finalist in Good Food Awards
Syntax Spirits has been named a finalist in the spirits category of the Good Food Awards. The Greeley-based craft distillery is among 17 finalists, with two others from Colorado. In November, after blind tastings, 150 finalists from throughout the country across several categories were announced.
Syntax Spirits, 625 3rd St., entered its Big Cat White Whiskey and Powder White Rum in the competition.
The list will be pared down to 100 winners, who will be invited to attend a gala ceremony Jan. 18 at San Francisco's Ferry Building . In the interim, the Good Food Awards website and social media pages will release video clips and images from the tasting.
The Good Food Awards, an annual celebration of the Good Food Merchants Guild, is a Seedling Projects initiative to honor the work of craft food producers across the country. The awards bring attention to American businesses crafting excellent food with an eye toward sustainability and social responsibility. The Good Food Awards are organized by Seedling Projects in collaboration with a broad community of food producers, chefs, food writers and passionate food-lovers.
Seedling Projects, a California public benefit corporation, is led by Sarah Weiner and Dominic Phillips, who have united their diverse skills to support the sustainable food movement. Through focused events and strategic models it engages the public in finding better ways to feed our communities. Find more information at: www.seedlingprojects.org
Company leaders become superheroes
Connecting Point leaders will go to work Monday as Superman and Batman after losing a recent food drive competition among their employees.
The company held a food drive just before Thanksgiving, collecting more than 700 pounds of food to be donated to the Weld Food Bank in Greeley. The team competition was headed by Ted Warner, owner and president, Kyle DeBord, vice president of sales, and Shawn Hanselman, vice president of operations. The two losing captains in the competition will now have to wear superhero costumes to work all day Monday.
DeBord's team (with the help of many others who "jumped ship" to help him win) came in first place with 416 pounds. Warner and Hanselman now will don the Batman and Superman suits. Warner is actually quite excited about the prospect of making calls to clients in the bat-suit, employes say.
A place to recycle your cellphones
Integrated Computer Consulting will now recycle used or unwanted cellphones, donating all funds collected on resale value to ChildSafe, a local nonprofit that provides therapy for victims of sexual abuse. Recycled phones without a resale market value will be donated to community programs for continued use or recoverable parts.
Both functional and non-functional cellphones are accepted. Functional phones that still command a market value will be re-sold, donating all proceeds to ChildSafe. If the recycled phone is functional but no longer holds market value, it will be sent to a women's shelter or an elderly care facility to be used for 911 call capabilities, at the facility's request. If the recycled phone is not functional, then it is designated as scrap and will be recycled for its precious metals and other recoverable, keeping toxic material out of landfills, according to a release.
To arrange drop off or pick up of your recyclable cellphone(s), call Kim Yardley at ICC, (970) 419-0602.
Four Course Marketing promotes local eateries
With people dining out at least three times a week, northern Colorado has become a growing hub for culinary creativity. That's exactly the reason Four Course Marketing set up shop earlier this year, to help restaurants, breweries and wineries connect to their audiences.

Lot # 1458 (of 1525) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1937 R23 Big Little Book Series 18 Uncut Strips of Four (72 Cards)
Starting Bid - $1,500.00, Sold For - $11,600.00
Collection of seventy-two 1937 R23 "Big Little Book Series" trading cards, presented on eighteen uncut four-card strips. This collection represents perhaps the single most amazing find of high-grade cards from this rare series, and one of the most exciting groups of 1930s non-sport cards we have ever offered. The condition of these cards is nothing short of miraculous. All seventy-two cards are in approximately Mint condition, with colors as bright and bold as the day they were printed. The vibrancy and quality of the colors, as well as the condition of the cards, are very noticeably superior to that of other examples normally found. There is, very simply and without question, a striking contrast between the quality of the offered cards compared to other cards collectors have seen from this rare series. Presumably, this untouched group must have been carefully stored away in 1937, protected from light and all other natural elements, to have survived in this unheard of pristine state. The collection includes the following cards organized by character subsets: 1) Popeye: Twenty-four cards in six uncut 4-card strips (#73 through 96). This represents the complete Popeye subset of the Big Little Book card series. A few very light surface creases, very likely as made, can be found upon very close inspection of the 4-card strip featuring #73-76. This is extremely minor and noted only for extreme accuracy. 2) Tom Mix: Sixteen cards in four uncut 4-card strips (#113-116, 117-120, 121-125, and 125-128). 3) Buck Jones: 32 cards in eight uncut 4-card strips (#161 through 192). We have never before seen uncut strips of cards from the "Big Little Book" card series. The reverse of each card features an elaborate "chapter" of the story each card subset tells. Each card bears the "Copyright 1937, by Silverbuck, Inc.," and promotes the sale of "Big Little Books," the small but very thick series of character-related children's books with colorful covers which were so very popular with children in the 1930s, and with collectors to this day. The "Big Little Book Series" cards are among the rarest and most desirable of all 1930s trading cards, and are rarely found in high grade. This collection of 72 cards, in 18 uncut strips of four cards each, is, in our opinion, one of the highlights of the many significant non-sport cards offered in this auction. Total 72 cards. Reserve $1,500. Estimate $2,500/$3,500. SOLD FOR $11,600.00

We have devised a simple sound * which facilitates the pull-through technique of long bypass grafts. The instrument is 29 in. long, and has a diameter of 7/16 in. Its shaft is made of RT-12 stainless steel flexible tubing. The ends of the instrument are made of solid brass, and are conical in shape (Figure).
The instrument has the following desirable features:
1. The shaft is sufficiently rigid to enable the operator to guide the instrument through the desired path, and is flexible enough to permit the point to deviate through the natural muscular planes.
2. The ends of the instrument are smooth and bullet-shaped, facilitating its passage, and making it unlikely that any large blood vessel will be torn as the instrument advances.
3. The ends are perforated so that the graft is easily attached to the sound for the pull-through.
4. The diameter of the instrument is wide enough

West Ashley High School senior Ronnie Chatterjee doesnt use the term sexting, but he sees it happening all around him.
Tips for parents
The practice of sexting can have legal and psychological consequences. Here are some tips for parents:If your child sent any nude pictures of themselves, make sure they stop immediately. Explain that they are at risk of being charged with producing and distributing child pornography. If they have received a nude photo, make sure they havent sent it to anyone else.Have a good talk. Stay calm, be supportive and learn as much as you can about the situation. For example, see if it was impulsive behavior, a teen romance thing, or a form of harassment.Consider talking with other teens and parents involved, based on what youve learned.Some experts advise that you report the photo to your local police, but consider that, while intending to protect your child, you could incriminate another and possibly your own child. Thats why it usually is good to talk to the kids and their parents first. If malice or criminal intent is involved, you may want to consult a lawyer, the police or other experts on the law in your jurisdiction.ConnectSafely.org, which is a project of Tech Parenting Group, a nonprofit organization based in Palo Alto, Calif., and Salt Lake City.
Thats typical for teenagers, as it has become an increasingly common practice.
Sexting is broadly defined as sending or receiving sexually explicit messages or photographs mostly by cellphones.
Elizabeth Letourneau, a former MUSC associate professor who now works at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said sexting is a normal part of adolescents relationships. The goal shouldnt be to stop it, because thats not going to happen, she said. The aim should be to ensure that no one hurts themselves or others.
Kids are going to sext, she said. Kids told us, Dont tell us not to do it; tell us what to do better.?
Thats exactly what Letourneau and other researchers are trying to do. She was part of a team representing three states that received a federal grant to study motivations behind youth sexting and to create actionable policy recommendations.
Students, parents and school employees from nine high schools, including Burke High, North Charleston High and West Ashley High, in three states participated.
Researchers gathered students, parents, lawmakers, police, educators and researchers on Friday from the participating states to review the findings and come up with policy recommendations.
A Charleston contingent gathered in an MUSC classroom, and they shared their ideas with the other groups during a nearly four-hour video conference call.
We dont know what our message is yet, but it will be around how to encourage youth to do it safely, Letourneau said afterward.
Like sex, sexting can happen in different contexts. It can be experimental and consensual, or it can take a more dangerous twist when it is unsolicited, aggressive or vengeful.
Unlike sex, sexting is a relatively new issue. The term sexting appeared only six times in major U.S. news media coverage in 2008, but that number shot up to more than 1,000 times in 2009, according to researchers.
West Ashley High counselor Molly West was one of those present for Fridays discussion at MUSC, and she said it was an eye-opening conversation.
The high school doesnt have any prevention programs dedicated specifically to sexting, and students arent supposed to have cellphones on campus. But that technology is an integral part of the way students communicate, and there needs to be more discussion about appropriate ways to do that, she said.
One thing that kept coming up is that this is something we need to talk about, West said. Its probably not going to go away.
West Ashley senior Chidiebere Aninweze said she would like to see schools dedicate a month to increasing awareness on sexting. Some people sext but dont even realize theyre doing so in a bad way, she said.
I wish this were something they would bring into schools, she said. We should bring it to more people.
Researchers gathered ideas for recommendations from the study and from Fridays discussion, and they planned to work on those further before publishing them.
Letourneau said one of the main messages that came through for her was that many groups need to be tasked with addressing sexting.
Its everyones responsibility to help youth navigate sexting and other sexual social relationships, she said. Its not just educators or law enforcement. Its parents, but not just parents. We have to get the message to youth in every way possible.

Today we will take a look at a list of prospects looking to attend the Rutgers Scarlet Knights' homecoming battle against the Kent State Golden Flashes. I am actively contacting recruits and will update this list as the confirmations continue to be received.
DE Tashawn Bower (6-5, 230), Immaculata (Somerville, N.J.): Bower is one of the top prospects in the entire state. He currently holds upwards of 50 offers and is committed to Auburn. But if he attends the Rutgers game tomorrow, this would be the second straight weekend he would have set foot on Rutgers' campus. Word is, he is taking Rutgers seriously.
QB Damon Mitchell (6-2, 175) Cedar Creek (Egg Harbor City, N.J.): Damon Mitchell is comparable to Devin Fuller, who signed to UCLA last February. He is dynamic from the quarterback position, utilizing his burst as well as his pinpoint precision as a passer. Rutgers has already taken a quarterback in the class of 2013 class in Chris Laviano, but Mitchell is a different kind of athlete and would be a welcomed addition adding athleticism to the position. He is currently committed to Georgia Tech, but there have been rumblings that things may change. Mitchell possesses upwards of 20 offers.
DE Andrew Trumbetti (6-5, 249), Demarest (N.J.): Trumbetti currently holds five offers of which Rutgers is one. Florida International, Boston College, Maryland and Notre Dame are the others. He is a big defensive end prospect who will likely end up on the strong side. Rutgers has done a good job positioning itself quite well early on in the recruiting process with Trumbetti..
WR JoJo Gause (6-4, 198), Bishop Kearney Rochester, N.Y.): JoJo Gause is the younger brother of Rutgers redshirt freshman, Quentin Gause. He is a long receiver with big, soft hands, who is just now beginning to grow into his frame. He gets better every time he sets foot on the field and has the potential to become a solid FBS-level recruit. He has already hauled in an offer from Old Dominion.
DE, Joe Vitiello (6-5, 248), Immaculata (Somerville N.J.): Vitiello is following in the footsteps of his teammate, Tashawn Bower, in becoming an FBS-level recruit. He has great size and his athletic ability is beginning to catch up to that size. He has not been offered as of yet but Rutgers, Boston College, Maryland and Penn State have begun to show interest.
WR KJ Williams (6-2, 190) Liberty High (Bethlehem, Pa.): Williams holds offers from Rutgers and Pitt. He has good body control and catches the football cleanly with his hands. He also has deceptive speed and the ability to take the top off a defense.
Verbally Committed (Non-Binding)
DE, Myles Nash (6-5,205), Timber Creek (Sicklerville, N.J.): Nash is an all-around athlete with the physical ability to play multiple positions on the next level. His skills as a pass-rusher will likely land him a role at defensive end or outside linebacker at Rutgers. He is considered one of the leaders of this 2013 recruiting class.
Ath, TJ Taylor (6-3, 200), South Brunswick (N.J.) High: Taylor is a bit of a tweener who could end up playing either safety or linebacker for the Scarlet Knights. He chose Rutgers over offers from seven other institutions.
Ath, Anthony Cioffi (5-11, 170), Dayton Regional High (Springfield, N.J.): Cioffi was the first player to verbally commit to Rutgers within the class of 2013. He is one of the fastest players in the entire Northeast, and will add that speed to Rutgers' secondary.
DL Sebastian Joseph (6-4, 270), Stroudsburg (Pa.) High: Joseph is a big, strong, physical defensive line prospect expected to further shore up the depth along Rutgers' talented defensive front.

As hurricane season begins today, there are certain things every coastal citizen of South Carolina should know. Ten hurricanes rocked the Atlantic coastline in 2012, including Sandy, which destroyed large sections of the Northeast.
Nick Marino, Berkeley County homeland security specialist in the emergency preparedness department, explained the key things needed to navigate this hurricane season.
Q: What are the biggest things that citizens should have in a preparedness kit or a preparedness plan, should any storm threaten the coastline?
A: Some of the things in a plan that you definitely want to include are phone numbers of not only those in your household but family members out of town or out of state, to let them know you're OK; medications; water; non-perishable food. If you have any small children, sometimes people forget about things like diapers, formula, things along those lines. If you have pets, don't forget about food and water for your pets.
Q: Gauging from last year's activity and what we can see so far from preliminary reports, how severe is the season going to be?
A: This is supposed to be an above average season, much more active than the average season. Technology has gotten so much better, where they can more accurately determine where a storm is going as they're tracking it. They can't really determine the intensity that a storm will be as much as they can predict its path. One of the key things to remember is, despite however many storms that they predict will happen, there's no way to determine if the storm is actually going to hit the coast.
Q: What are the main things that coastal citizens should know, especially when and where to go if an impending storm is coming through?
A: There's no longer a voluntary and mandatory evacuation. There's an evacuation order or there isn't. You don't want to wait until that mandatory evacuation time. If you wait until that time, there's a window that, as the storm approaches, I-26 as well as secondary roads are going to be set up as the evacuation routes.
With those routes, the state has done an excellent job of listing out at key intersections how many barricades are going to be at that intersection, how many local law enforcement, state law enforcement, (and) National Guard. They literally have it down to the intersection, down to the traffic cone, of what will be where.
The key thing is, when you're on that evacuation route during the time of the ordered evacuation, you are on that route from beginning to end. You can't change routes, you can't decide, 'Well, I want to go here instead.'
If you leave prior to the order being given, when we start encouraging people to leave, you can take whatever route you want to go to, wherever you want to. So there's a lot more flexibility involved with that.
The other thing that we try to remind people about is regarding sheltering. If you're in an evacuation zone, try and get to some place outside the evacuation zone: a hotel, friend's house, family member, what have you. The absolute — I cannot stress this enough — absolute last place you want to go to is a hurricane shelter. A lot of people don't realize the conditions that are actually present in a hurricane shelter, just the lack of privacy (and) the small (amount of space) given. You lose so many amenities that a lot of people don't think they would be losing.
Q: Are there any other major pieces of advice that citizens need to be aware about with hurricane season starting today?
A: The biggest things to consider are: plan, prepare, know your evacuation routes and know what evacuation zone you're in.

The Republic of Turkey is known for being one of the oldest permanently settled regions in the world ... and for trampling on human rights.
So news that book bans all 23,000 of them have been lifted across the nation was a happy surprise.
After all, the dictum came from the same government that in 2012 had 76 journalists behind bars, according to the Committee for the Protection of Journalists.
Agence France-Presse reported recently that in July of 2012 Turkeys parliament adopted a bill that lifted all bans on published works unless a court chose to confirm the ban by the end of the year.
None did.
So buying, selling and reading books ranging from the Communist Manifesto to a comic book are legal now for the first time in decades.
The bans were implemented by different institutions in different cities at different times, Agence France-Presse reports. Many of the bans have been forgotten or ignored for years.
On the other hand, some titles that had been spared from bans were still regularly confiscated.
And in November, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan took to task directors of a television show he said toyed with Muslim morals and talked of the need to teach them a lesson.
The majority of the Turkish population is Muslim.
Turkeys human rights record has been an issue of concern as the nation appeals to become a member of the European Union. Maybe lifting the book bans will change some minds.
Maybe it also will remind us in the United States to value our freedom of speech.
With political divides widening and deepening, we might not like what we hear from the other side, but at least we can hear it and we can talk back.
And we can write books about it without fear.

Exactly 44 years and three days ago, my husband Kerry was born.
And, since I take the time to write so many kind and hopefully profound things about so many others in the community, the region, and sometimes even the world, I thought it only appropriate that today, I dedicate a column to the man who has so meaningfully impacted my life.
I thought that, nearly 15 years after we said vows in front of God and man to become husband and wife, it was about time to write him a good, old-fashioned love letter. So, here it goes.
Dear Kerry,
As you celebrate your 44th birthday, I just wanted you to know how much you are loved.
And, as we live each day of this crazy, stressed out, wonderful, maddening and whirlwind of a life, please know that I couldn't be happier that we're on this journey together.
I want you to know that, if I had it to do all over again, I would marry you a hundred more times.
I want you to be assured of what a terrific father you are; what a wonderful friend you are; and how deeply grateful I am that you chose me as your partner in this life - and the next.
Always remember that I'm here for you in good times and bad, through joy and sorrow and, as you like to tell me invariably, "through thick and thin and sick and sin."
I'm thankful that you are strong when I am scared, that you are calm when I am troubled.
I love the way you have foosball tournaments with our little boy or hog-tying sessions with our puppy. I love the way you say the words I'm thinking but would never utter aloud. I love how, when you know I need it most, you make me laugh.
I never told you this, but the fact that you always wear your wedding band gives me pride and comfort that is immeasurable. I love the way you want to slay my dragons, whether they're real or imagined.
I love that you support my career, my dreams, and my hopes for our future.
I love how you forgive my irrational fears about the dangers of the world and how you overlook my overprotective nature, especially when it nearly smothers you and our precious baby boy.
I'm grateful that you share my faith and my desire to give our child a good solid moral base that will help shape his being.
I love that you're man enough to fold towels or run the dishwasher and how you go get me an extra large coffee - even though you detest its taste and smell. And I love how you love my homemade sauce and meatballs.
I love that yours is the last face I see before I drift off to sleep at night and the first one greeting me in the morning - day after day, year after year, decade after decade.
Most of all, I love knowing that, no matter what, at the end of the day and at the end of our lives, you've got my back. Know that I always have yours, too.
Happy birthday, Kerry!

They may be participating for the Blue squad Saturday, but to the coaching staff and four players, it will be like one last time in the silver and black.
That will be the theme for the Blue team when it takes the field against the Red team at the ASCO West Texas Football Classic at 7 p.m. at Lubbock Cooper's Pirate Stadium. Randall coach Bryan Wood and his staff will lead the Blue team, which will include four Randall players.
Wood was selected to coach the Blue squad in March, and even though he'll be coaching some familiar faces, he admits it's unfamiliar territory.
"I never have done it before as an assistant or a head coach so that part of it is exciting," Wood said. "We're going to have four days of practice, so that's going to be a challenge."
But probably not so much for the Randall players who will all be playing on offense. Quarterback Collin Bowen, running back Tyler Junell, tight end Kyler Battin and center Trent Allen are all familiar with the system Wood will run, and the other offensive players will have to follow their lead to be successful.
Those players were part of the core of a successful program that turned things around from a 1-9 season in Wood's first year at Randall in 2009 to make three consecutive playoff appearances. Bowen, who started at linebacker as a sophomore and at quarterback the last two years, is as representative of that success as anybody.
"When we found out we were going to get to do it with Collin at quarterback and the other kids, that gives you some closure to it," Wood said.
In terms of success, few quarterbacks can boast the resume Bowen had over the last two seasons. He was named District 3-4A's offensive player of the year each of the last two years, and Randall posted a 20-3 record in games he started, with the three losses coming by a total of 11 points.
Randall's season ended in disappointment in 2012 with a 34-31 loss to Hereford in the bidistrict round of the playoffs, but now Bowen and three of his teammates will have a last chance to represent Randall.
"I really wasn't expecting it at all but I'm expecting it to be nothing short of great," Bowen said. "It's going to be so much fun playing for coach Wood and his staff this one last time."
In terms of talent and chemistry, it's hard to argue with what the Randall coaching staff and the quartet on offense will bring to the table. Bowen and Junell ran for more than 1,000 yards in each of the last two years with Allen and Battin blocking for them.
So, it's natural to assume that the play-calling, at least when the Raiders are on the field, will have a Randall-like tilt to it.
"It definitely helps a lot that we're running our offense," Bowen said. "That just allows me and the Randall guys to help the other guys out that don't know it.
"It's got some complex stuff which some of the guys need to learn. It is a little more simplified than it usually is."
Bowen will return to Lubbock before the end of the summer to attend Texas Tech, where he said he will try to walk on at quarterback next fall.
But there's one more game to take care of before that. And Wood feels secure with it starting with Bowen taking snaps from Allen.
"You don't have to worry about the snap count," Wood said. "We want to make it fun and easy for the kids so they can come out and just have a blast. We're going to just evaluate it from day to day."
The game is a fundraiser for injured high school players and has raised more than $160,000.
Those who will receive proceeds this year are Vega's Luis Morales, Odessa Permian's Joe Beene and Idalou's Tanner Cook.
