Checking in on Patriots rookies halfway through their first season
|10.28.13 at 8:00 am ET
Over the first eight games of the 2013 season, the Patriots rookies continue to become more important pieces of the puzzle on both sides of the ball. While the majority of the focus has been on receivers Aaron Dobson, Kenbrell Thompkins and Josh Boyce, a solid grouping of rookies has emerged on defense, including defensive tackles Joe Vellano and Chris Jones and defensive back Logan Ryan.
According to veteran defensive back Devin McCourty, it's easy to see why the group has improved over the last few games.
"They're not thinking about it. They're just saying, 'I'm up. This is my opportunity,' and they're just going out there are playing," said McCourty, who added that it hasn't necessarily been a case of the rookies asking too many questions.
"We don't go up to them and tell them. They just have to execute what their job is," he said. "Go out there and make plays. 'You wouldn't be in this opportunity if we didn't feel like you couldn't be out there making plays,' so guys like Chris and Joe up front, making pays like they're doing, we expect that out of them. They're here for a reason. They're just doing their job, and it's been great."
And at this point, it's clear they are rookies in name only.
"It's getting close [at this point]," McCourty said. "At this point, they've played a full preseason, a full training camp, a good amount of games '¦ they're still rookies on paper, but they still can't play like rookies and act like rookies, especially with things that have happened on our team. Those guys, I think they're ready for that role."
Here's a quick thumbnail check on how the New England rookies have done to this point in the season.
Aaron Dobson: Dobson had one of the finest games of his rookie season Sunday against the Dolphins, coming away with four catches on five targets for 60 yards and a touchdown. (For Dobson, he now has a three-game stretch of 13 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown.) Overall, through seven games (four starts), the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder out of Marshall has 26 catches for 324 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Kenbrell Thompkins: The undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati had a good start — including a six-catch, 127-yard performance against the Falcons, as well as the game-winning touchdown catch against the Saints — on the way to 23 catches for 334 yards and four touchdowns through eight games. He's struggled as of late for a few reasons, not the least of which is the fact that his early success drew the attention of some opposing defensive coordinators. As a result, the 6-foot-1, 195-pounder has drawn tougher and tougher assignments over the last few weeks.
Chris Jones: The defensive tackle was hit with the most notable penalty of the season when he was part of the late push in the loss to the Jets in New Jersey. But aside from that error, the 6-foot-1, 309-pounder out of Bowling Green has played very well — in five games (three starts) he has 25 tackles (11 solo) and 4.5 sacks, including one in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
Logan Ryan: The 5-foot-11, 195-pound cornerback out of Rutgers has made quick a splash over the last two games. He had two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. That was on the heels of a pick-six last week against the Jets (the same game where he was hit with a $10,000 fine for a crotch grab). With Aqib Talib on the shelf, Ryan has gained more playing time, and he has evolved into a dependable presence, particularly while working in the slot.
Duron Harmon: The defensive back has provided depth at safety and on special teams through the first half of his first year in the NFL. The Rutgers product, who checks in at 6 feet, 205 pounds, picked off a pass at the end of Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
Michael Buchanan: The 6-foot-5, 255-pound defensive end out of Illinois had a good start to the season while working as a part-time pass rusher, seeing the majority of his time on the edge when the Patriots kicked Chandler Jones in to the defensive tackle spot on occasion. His reps have decreased as of late, but he still has five tackles and two sacks through the first eight games of his NFL career.
Josh Boyce: The wide receiver out of TCU has taken three healthy scratches over the course of the first eight games of the season and appears to be on track to take a redshirt year as a rookie. (It was a path Shane Vereen took in 2011.) The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Boyce has played in five games — with one start — and has one catch for 24 yards.
Joe Vellano: Vellano has teamed with Jones up front to serve as an impressive pair of stopgap tackles who have seen a huge uptick in playing time since Vince Wilfork and Tommy Kelly went down with injuries. Vellano. a 6-foot-1, 300-pounder out of Maryland, has played in eight games (four starts) and has 32 tackles (10 solo), to go along with one sack.
Steve Beauharnais: The linebacker out of Rutgers has taken a handful of healthy scratches over the first eight games of his NFL career but has shown himself to be a solid special teamer who can also provide depth at the linebacker spot. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder has played in one game to this point in the season.
Jamie Collins: The versatile linebacker out of Southern Miss has played multiple spots on defense for New England, and with Jerod Mayo landing on season-ending injured reserve earlier this month, the Patriots likely will continue to ask him to do more going forward. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Collins has played in eight games (with two starts) and has 14 tackles (six solo).

Ten musical acts to watch in 2014
2014 promises to be a truly scorching year for new music. Here's what to look out for.
Fri Jan 17 2014
Are you ready? We mean really ready? Now that we've recapped the bygone year in music, we've selected the best new bands, singers and full-on phenoms set to leave tire tracks all over 2014. Choose from fiery buzz bands, slinky singer-songwriters and a pioneering jazz trumpeter. (And yes, Perfect Pussy gets a showing.) And although we're not promising that the next Chvrches, Haim or Chance the Rapper is among this crop, who knows?

Ambrose Akinmusire
The sharp young trumpeter, bandleader and composer behind one of 2011's finest jazz albums, When the Heart Emerges Glistening, Ambrose Akinmusire finally issues its eagerly awaited Blue Note follow-up, the imagined savior is easier to paint, on Mar 11. The wait was worth it: Akinmusire shows off his most prodigious moves on the new disc, sweetening his taut quintet with guitar, string quartet and three singers. Jazz Standard; Mar 13–16.—Steve Smith

At a time when pretty much everything is public knowledge, mystery has great appeal—as evidenced by Boots, the producer, singer and songwriter whose shadowy presence looms behind most of Beyoncé's latest disc. A good deal of online scurrying and speculation revealed that Boots man Jordy Asher got his start in bands like Blonds and Stonefox before signing with Roc Nation, where his blog page reads simply: "BOOTS was born in the mouth of an 808." No shows announced as of yet, but for a taste of things to come, get an earful of "Haunted" on Soundcloud.—Sophie Harris

Ex Hex
Though we were bummed to learn of indie supergroup Wild Flag's split, we're stoked for guitarist Mary Timony's new effort: She's joined forces with fellow D.C. musicians Laura Harris and Betsy Wright in a power-pop trio named for one of Timony's solo albums. Self-described as "what your older brother's friends listened to," the trio will put out an album on Merge sometime this year; meanwhile, see what the fuss is about at two dates in the spring. Glasslands Gallery; Mar 20. Mercury Lounge; Mar 21.—Amy Plitt
FKA Twigs

FKA Twigs
To say that FKA Twigs made waves with her video for "Water Me" is a bit cheesy, but we can't resist. The London singer-songwriter garnered as much attention for her clips—gorgeous, challenging and at times outright disturbing—as for her pragmatically named EP2, released on influential London imprint Young Turks in September of last year. Her debut LP is expected to surface this year, and we can't wait to hear what this dynamic young artist has in store.—Kristen Zwicker

Future Islands
Why do we like them? Because vocalist Samuel T. Herring combines the poise and command of a Shakespearean actor with the onstage agility of an Olympic gymnast, and because the trio as a whole—releasing its 4AD debut, Singles, on March 25—wrings improbable drama out of low-tech synth-pop simplicity. Bowery Ballroom; Feb 6. Webster Hall; Apr 30.—Hank Shteamer
Photograph: Matt Fry
Kelela seemed to come out of nowhere when she joined Solange on tour just over a year ago. Since then, she's appeared at CMJ, been featured on Solange's Saint Heron compilation and released Cut 4 Me, a stark mixtape on she layers her soulful vocals over futuristic electronic beats. She's now working on her full-length debut, and if her current output of new-wave R&B is any indication, she's ready for the spotlight.—Marley Lynch
Photograph: Pooneh Ghana
Perfect Pussy
Seemingly from out of nowhere—and actually from out of Syracuse, NY—this racily named post-punk quartet stormed Brooklyn nightspots and indie-rock media with the speed and force of an oncoming locomotive. No surprise: the band packs a tuneful punch on its four-song demo cassette, I have lost all desire for feeling, topped by elliptical poetry from fierce frontwoman Meredith Graves. Newly signed to Captured Tracks, the band is set to deliver Say Yes to Love on Mar 18. Rough Trade; Feb 12.—Steve Smith
Photograph: Amy Mills
Psalm Zero
This duo's forthcoming debut, The Drain (out Mar 8 on Profound Lore), combines the most compelling elements of its members' solo projects—the ritualistic intensity of Charlie Looker's now-defunct Extra Life and the enthralling six-string lattice of Andrew Hock's Castevet—with the primitive bludgeon of vintage industrial metal. The Acheron; Feb 9.—Hank Shteamer
Photograph: Kyle Dean Reinford
Titus Andronicus
The Jersey punks, who explored Civil War history on their 2010 LP, The Monitor, have similarly ambitious conceptual plans for their fourth album: According to frontman Patrick Stickles, the collection will be a 30-track, guitar-driven rock opera that traverses manic depression, Friedrich Nietzsche, romance and a sci-fi storyline about an ancient race of superhumans. Expect local dates to be announced once that epic drops.—Andrew Frisicano
Photograph: Dusdin Condren
The War on Drugs
"Red Eyes," the latest road-trip-worthy, shaggy-haired and synthy single from Adam Granduciel's consistently great Philly project, signals that more good vibes surely await on its third LP, Lost in the Dream (out March 18 via Secretly Canadian). Bowery Ballroom; Mar 20. Music Hall of Williamsburg; Mar 21.—Tim Lowery

Soul Memories, Health, Karma and You.
- How do soul memories create physical and emotional problems in the present lifetime?
- How are soul memories triggered and why?
- How are soul ties and memories carried from one life into the next?
Just as we have genetic DNA that is carried down through generations, there is something analogous on the energy plane, which I refer to as "Spiritual DNA". Spiritual DNA is energy that carries the soul ties and memories from lifetime to lifetime. "Spiritual DNA" resides in the spiritual body, the primary energy body that forms the template for the other energy bodies that make up the aura, and eventually, the physical body. The physical body is formed by Genetic DNA and Spiritual DNA.
When trauma happens in the spiritual body, emotional and physical pain can occur. Emotional trauma from past lives can be carried into your present life and affect not just you, but the people you love. It can affect your marriage, your career and your relationships.
Have you ever felt that you have been unsuccessful with love, money, career or relationships, and cannot figure out why? You are carrying soul ties from past lives that can be spiritually interfering with your present life.

I invested through David Baird over two years ago. I have been told again and again that I could sell my shares any day now.
I couldn't make it to the AGM on Monday but an associate of mine filmed it for a few of us, the video wasn't too clear as they were told no cameras, but the audio is quite good.
The lawyer who is on the board, Niren Raj I believe said that within 4 weeks that we can freely sell our shares on the Frankfurt Exchange for a minimum 2 Euro. How can they assure us that it will be 2 Euro?
Anyhow with all the delays I'd be happy to get anything, I hope this promise isn't another ploy to buy more time.....
Also did anyone happen to look at the Astra Resources Wikipedia page? It had a lot of negative info on there but has now disappeared. If anyone has this can you please post it up here? Hopefully someone can get another forum open.
Anyhow, so we wait another 4 weeks, here's to hoping that they don't fail again.

RIVERSIDE - The gloves of Firebaugh High's players were the first to come off and be sent skyward when the final out of Saturday's CIF-SS Division 7 baseball final was recorded. Next came the hats, and that was followed by a dog pile on the pitcher's mound.
The Falcons know the drill. They've done it before.
Saturday's 4-0 victory over Temecula Prep clinched Firebaugh's second consecutive Division 7 title at Riverside Sports Complex. Junior Mario Gonzalez had three RBIs and senior right-hander Anthony Rios struck out 10, including Miles Fagan for the final out of the seventh inning to set off a wild celebration among the players, coaches and a large group of fans that came from Lynwood.
"It feels great," Gonzalez said of winning a second title.
Gonzalez was a reserve on last year's team, but contributed mightily in the final game of his junior season. He delivered a two-run single in the bottom of the first inning and drew a bases-loaded walk in the fifth.
"Last year, I didn't have a chance to play," he said, " but this year it felt great helping the team out."
The Falcons finished the season at 20-14 and defeated the top two playoff seeds - No. 1 Nuview Bridge in the semifinals and the No. 2 Patriots - along the way. Firebaugh, established in 2005 to reduce overcrowding at Lynwood High, is now 2-0 in divisional finals in just its sixth varsity season.
"We play good baseball in Lynwood," said fourth-year coach Scott Hunter. "A lot of our kids play travel ball."
Firebaugh won or shared the last three Harbor League titles, but will move to the more competitive Prep League next season. It will also move up to Division 6 for the playoffs.
"We're gonna have to step it up (next season)," said Hunter, who will lose eight seniors and five starters to graduation. "We're gonna be a lot younger."
Rios, who earned the save in last year's final, allowed three hits and only faced one real threat. Leading 2-0 in the fourth, Rios gave up a leadoff double to Bryce Apodaca and walked the next two batters to load the bases.
Perhaps a little anxious in a big moment, however, Temecula Prep's next two hitters did Rios a huge favor by swinging at pitches out of the strike zone, and each struck out. With two outs, Kyle Cringan hit an easy grounder to shortstop Jose Hernandez, and the Falcons escaped the jam.
"Anthony is a tough pitcher," said Hunter. "When the chips are down, he knows how to bear down. He settled down (in the fourth), reached back and did his job."
Apodaca, a sophomore lefty, held Firebaugh to just three hits, but he walked six. The Patriot defense added a pair of errors, and all four Falcon runs were unearned.

I'm not sure the area behind the screen was intended for my use. I find that a Taurus model 850 .38 Special fits well and out of sight. Make sure you have a CCW permit. The Valet mode keeps the screen locked. Only issue is making sure to remove it when going for servicing. The S&W .22 magnum works well also.

Magna Rises as Profit Beats Analysts' View
Magna International Inc. (MG), North America's largest auto-parts maker, rose after third-quarter earnings beat analysts' estimates and its founder stepped down from the board.
The shares rose 0.4 percent to C$44.71 in Toronto at 4:39 p.m. after advancing as much as 5.3 percent earlier, the biggest intraday jump since July 4. The stock has risen 32 percent this year.
Profit surged almost fourfold to $390 million from $102 million a year earlier, in part due to gains from the acquisition of the controlling stake in its electric car-parts business, the Aurora, Ontario-based company said in a statement. Earnings per share excluding the acquisition were $1.13, topping the average estimate of $1.02 in a Bloomberg survey of 16 analysts. Sales rose 6 percent to $7.4 billion.
Honorary Chairman Frank Stronach, 80, who founded the company as a one-man tool-and-die shop in 1957, said he was leaving the board because of his involvement in Austrian politics since ceding control of Magna two years ago.

When debating whether or not to get my PS90 - I kept debating whether or not I should buy a Storm. Its a good gun.
Its is a damn good gun. I already have like 8000 rounds through her, and still no problems at all. only downside is, that the iron sights are quite crap, and the protector posts of em are in the way for almost any optics u wanna mount. I really think about cutting them off, so they don't get in my way again.
In terms of accuracy, I never had anything more accurate in 9mmP. eats all the ammo you feed her, tacks nice holes with all self defense ammo, and eats your standard 92FS Mags.
Last week I contemplated selling my USPc to pay for one in 9mm, but decided not to. Maybe I'll save for one eventually.
love the mossberg as well

That makes my poor old AK47 look naked.

In past articles, I had discussed the importance of patients empowering them- selves and working with their doctors to improve their health care.
There is now a campaign called Choosing Wisely, which started in spring of 2012. It is gaining momentum and support from the nation's doctors and specialty groups.
It was started by the American Board of Internal Medicine and it was started to stimulate conversations between doctors and patients regarding the delivery of health care. The goal is to have patients and doctors discuss tests and procedures to make sure that the choices are appropriate and provide safe and effective health care.
Along with the American Board of Internal Medicine doctors, nine other specialty societies released their guidelines.
In February 2013, my specialty society, The American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (ear, nose and throat society) released the five things they feel will improve patient care.
This concept of working together is very important in this day and age, where we have an aging population more likely to be ill and limited resources of health care delivery.
The idea is doctors and patients working together can make smarter decisions, and it also adds to the safety of the health care system in the United States. As the delivery of health care in this country becomes more of a challenge, it is important that we maintain our goals of high quality care being delivered safely.
Some research in Washington suggests up to 30 percent of health care dollars goes toward unnecessary testing procedures, and hospital stays that do not really affect the patient's health quality — and in some instances may even harm the patient. This is why open discussion about health care between the patient and the doctor needs to be carried out.
The entity Consumers Reports is also getting involved to translate these lists and guidelines into plain English so the patient can understand the information. They also provide educational materials to help the patient's understand decision-making processes with their doctor.
My specialty society has initially selected several items that should be openly discussed with doctors if proposed, and this includes the use of scanning such as CT or MRI for things like sudden hearing loss, dizziness and hoarseness.
Other items that have been highlighted as important problems include the overuse of antibiotics for middle and external ear infections. The use of X-rays and scans for evaluating uncomplicated sinus infections also is discouraged.
This campaign is likely to get more participants.
A third phase of specialty societies will likely release their guidelines later this year. Efforts such as these will continue and only strengthen the excellent health are delivery system we have in this country.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
J.D. Byrider - CNAC Financing7401 South Blvd Charlotte, North Carolina United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I purchased a 2002 Ford Focus for $9,925.00. I knew that the car was overpriced with a blue book value of only 5865.00, but decided to purchase the vehicle, The next day after purchase I noticed that my brakes were not stopping correctly, I took the vehicle back but was told that the brakes were not under warranty. They said that they could repair the brakes, but I would have to pay for the repair. I advised them that I would take it to my regular maintance person. also advised that my battery was corroded. This is when the trouble started.
I put $300.00 Downpayment with $300 bi weekly payments for 6 weeks to make the downpayment of $1200.00 dollars. These payments were always made a day before the due day. on 8/21/09 authomatic payments were to drafted from my banking account. They had made copies of my debit card and I had signed the papers.
When my payment was due, I received a call on Saturday advising that I had missed the payment. I advised that they had the infomation on file, Shaun the employee, stated that it had not been done and charged me a extra four dollars. The next two weeks I received the same call, instead of paying the extra fee, I took the money in. The next two weeks the same thing happened and I took the money in and retrieved my bank information. Now again its been two weeks I took my payment in prior to the due date for tomorrow. and was told that someone wanted to speak with me. I was told that my payment was late three times and there was not a grace period. yet that had just accepted a payment. And it was there company that failed to withdraw the money from my account as agreed to. All payments have been made, but I do not know if I will have a car in the morning or not. This company is very dishonest. The vehicle was very overpriced. they do not want to honor their warranty. Its appears that its their mission to harrass, intimidate and misrepresent the transactions that you make in order to either force you to pay them for repairs or repo your car. Harrassment is not legal, nor misrepresentation of facts. (fraud), nor intimidation.
something needs to be done about their business practices. I will go to the legal limits to make sure that this does not happen to another consumer. I have the ability to make my payment and repairs, but they prey on the poor and disabled and in my case seniors, instead of helping your credit they want to harm you so that you can not go anywhere else but to them.

Energy prices have been rising on fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East. That's bringing energy companies to the top of the list.
The Stock Spotlight this week has three oil and gas plays that are enjoying excellent growth, one in the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania, another in Texas and a third in the Gulf of Mexico.
Sanchez Energy (SN) makes money in the Eagle Ford Shale of south Texas. The company went public in December 2011, then built a long consolidation. It has now formed a somewhat lopsided double-bottom base.
It's had four straight quarters of triple-digit revenue growth and big profit increases. Earnings in the current quarter are estimated to grow 192%. Analysts are looking for 417% earnings growth this year and 95% in 2014.
Pretax margins grew sharply in 2012 to 22.4%.
New Orleans-based EPL Oil & Gas (EPL) drills in the Gulf of Mexico and off the Louisiana coast. Earnings were up 65% in the most recent quarter and are expected to grow 200% in the current quarter.
The company suffered serious losses in 2009, but has since logged three straight years of earnings growth. Analysts are looking for a 95% EPS increase this year.
The stock on Aug. 1 broke out of a third-stage 12-week cup with narrow handle at 32.96 and has risen nearly 8%.
Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas (COG), featured in Wednesday's IBD, drills in the sweet spot of the Marcellus Shale in Susquehanna County, Pa.
It has three quarters of accelerating earnings growth. EPS in the most recent quarter rose 667%, and analysts were looking for an 82% increase in the current quarter. After-tax profit margins are 21.1%.
The stock has also made a big move since a July 2012 breakout past 20.95. It recently had a 2-for-1 stock split.

Crow Wing County makes unusual move Tuesday
Crow Wing County commissioners took an unusual turn Tuesday.
Near the end of the meeting, Commissioner Phil Trusty sought to reconsider an earlier motion that passed unanimously. Trusty said he didn't have all the information when he voted.
At issue is a change in the land use map in St. Mathias Township from agriculture/forestry with a minimum of 35 acres to rural residential with a minimum of 10 acres.
The petition from Linda Nelson involves land off Koering Road and 20th Street.
The county reported receiving a petition with 12 signatures stating there is active farming on three sizes of the proposed rezoning. The petitioners requested the present zoning be continued to preserve the integrity of the rural farm community, adding the proposed 10-acre and 20-acre parcels were not consistent with the surrounding properties.
The planning commission approved making the change as requested.
Trusty said when he voted in favor of the land use change with the rest of the board, he wasn't aware the township expressed a wish to deny it. He thought a letter of opposition arrived late.
David Landecker, county survey coordinator, said township supervisors attended meetings and provided oral testimony before the planning commission. But, Landecker said, the township supervisors did not specifically say they wanted to deny or modify the land use map change request. While they spoke about their concerns, Landecker said it wasn't clear to the planning commission they were opposed.
Carrie Allord, St. Mathias Township supervisor, attended Tuesday's meeting. Allord stated she had said they wanted the current zoning, which calls for 35-acre parcels.
The county board received a letter of opposition from the township dated July 2.
The letter stated the plan to subdivide the inherited land into 10- and 20-acre parcels is not part of an area that has active farming and forestry. The township board said while there are other 5-acre and 10-acre parcels nearby they were "grandfathered in" as homes primarily given by family farming parents to their children who were active in the farm operation.
The township noted the planning commission passed the request in spite of their concerns and those of about 25 neighbors who submitted a petition against it.
Trusty said he it wasn't clear earlier in the meeting the township had responded at the planning commission session.
As for the request being out of sync with the agricultural setting, Land Services Supervisor Chris Pence, said: "With this one I think it's the right thing to do."
Pence said they are preserving true ag land and developing marginal ag land, such as land along roads.
Trusty said he wanted to revisit the motion to approve and table it or rescind it and redirect it back to staff. Earlier staff said a St. Mathias comprehensive plan was not filed with the county and thus not considered for the planning commission. Township supervisors said their comprehensive plan had previously been in the county records and offered to send another.
Allord asked if the property owners had tried to sell the land as the larger tract first. Commissioner Paul Thiede said he didn't know if government is in the business of telling a landowner they have to sell as one tract. Pence said the real estate agent thought they'd have more luck with smaller tracts.
When the county board found reconsidering the issue — to either send it back to the planning commission or look into it at the commissioner's table — would not put the county in a bind for the required 60-day time constraint to make a decision, the board voted to send the issue back to the planning commission. Commissioner Paul Thiede was opposed, saying earlier he was concerned about setting a precedent. Board Chairman Doug Houge supported the motion, but noted he shared Thiede's concerns. Commissioner Rosemary Franzen attended the meeting, but was not present at the time of the vote.

Date of Stay: August, 2010
Premium site had fantastic view however a giant class A in next site was practically parked on top of our fire pit and had the air fan blowing constantly. Would recommend P5 or P6 sites. Individual shower with restroom were OK but could have been cleaner and would have been nicer with AC. Nothing for the kids. This campground is mostly about the view.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
Best restrooms and showers we have ever seen! Entire campground was clean with either asphalt, concrete, gravel or grass (no mud!). Nice location outside of busy Gatlinburg. Pool was nice, small playground, didn't use the Clubhouse but it looked nice and had AC. Would stay again.

Any doctor would point out that this year's report wasn't a clean bill of health: Thirty six of America's most commercially and recreationally important ocean fish populations are still subject to overfishing, and 45 have been depleted to unhealthy levels.
Small fish such as sardines and anchovies don't get much love. But these little fish provide essential food for all the marine life that we like to catch, eat or watch.
Fishermen no longer throw thousands of pounds of fish overboard because of daily trip limits. And bycatch (the capture of non-target ocean wildlife, which has long been a serious problem in New England) is also on the decline.
Healthy fish populations create jobs, support coastal economies, help repair damaged marine ecosystems and provide increased recreational opportunities for anglers like myself to bring home fish for my dinner table more often.
If we rebuild all of our fish populations to healthy levels, we have indeed achieved success, for they are the foundation upon which fishing businesses and fishermen can thrive.
Science suggests that the loss of even one North Atlantic right whale could threaten the survival of the entire species; the Navy creating a training range near their habitat will further hurt the quest to survive.
This legislation promises good science now, and for the next 4-8 years; and hopefully restored guarantees of good science later, even under less humane executives than Obama.

oxygen sensor PITA! and tune up question
Any one strip the threads on the O2 sensor when they were changing them?
I tryed so hard not to f up the threads and the dam thing was just not having it... it took almost 30 min just to get one out and now I cant get the new one in and I cant find the right size tap to fix it either....I had to special order it from grainger.....on the bright side I got my new air filter, spark plugs, plug wires on
does anyone suggest changing the fuel filter, PCV filter, or any thing els to include in the tune up? im almost hitting 70,000 miles
Did you change the cap and rotor? Also the fuel filter/Pump assembly is all one unit in the tank. "Supposedly" it never needs cleaned or changed. However next time I take my tank down I'll probably see what's up with it anyway.
That tap you should be able to get at any NAPA or good parts house it's usally the same as a sprk plug 14mmx1.5 pitch. so a spark plug cahser should work. and put some neverseize on the new one. It will help for nex time.
yeah I changed the cap and rotor also thanks for the feedback
I would run some seafoam threw the vac line. It will clean out the carbon and help free up the rings if they have alot of carbon around them.:D
done last week haha

The Making of a Chef Innovator, without the Pomp
Pros: Wasn't a manifesto on molecular gastronomy, and captures Achatz's passion
Cons: Could have been a bit more consise on various topics/stories
Simply put, Life on the Line reveals the groundbreaking journey of Chef Grant Achatz in the world of molecular gastronomy. The book is not a manifesto for the movement. Rather, it focuses on the Chef himself, following his enthusiasm and excitement for cooking and flavor. Despite his humble beginnings in his grandparents' restaurant, or perhaps because of them, Chef Grant Achatz has changed the American dining experience. And Life on the Line lays out precisely how he became a face of molecular gastronomy in the nation, and throughout the world.
Achatz is known for his innovative work with the essence of flavor. Pursuing new ways of tasting, Achatz focuses on such techniques as single bites, scientifically enhanced textures, and presenting flavors in unexpected and untraditional ways. Although he trained under Thomas Keller, to merely think of Achatz as a Keller protégé would be to ignore his own body of work and unique style. The fact is, Achatz is so distinct a chef from his mentors that his food stands alone in comparison. His creations are so original that, often, his cuisine and techniques are at the center of heated debates between food purists and food adventurers.
But all of this information is only a fraction of story of Life on the Line. True, we get to see some of debate on the new age food, but the book does a great job of focusing on the biography of Achatz—leaving the deep pontifications and philosophies for other books. In other words, the book is about a guy who loves cooking.
You also get to see the functional part of a chef's life and restaurant life. For example, you are taken behind the scenes of restaurant planning. You will read about everything from simply coming up with a name, to the monotonous task of simply driving around town keeping an eye out for possible spaces to lease. Then enter the politics of it all, such as weighing the risks of opening up near an old guard chef. Though seemingly minor, these mundane aspects of creating a new business, as well as other similar topics in a chef's life, are given their true weight--not glamorous, and not sugar coated.
For all his fame and notoriety, this book was rather refreshing in its approach to telling us who Grant Achatz is. Again, you might expect deep thoughts and pontifications on the meaning of food and theories on flavor. However, Achatz doesn't take himself too seriously in this book and avoids being out of reach with American diners. Sure, his foods would not be found in a small town diner. However, seeing his enthusiasm for what he's doing might make those small town customers give Achatz a chance at tickling their taste buds.
Likewise, readers should give Life on the Line a chance and discover the beginnings of an American Chef Innovator.

Time to come clean
I've been on this forum for quite awhile and have pretty much been more of an observer than a participant. Yall have made me cry, laugh, shake my head in amazement and or delight. And I have learned so much.
I'm very quiet and reserved so this is extremely hard for me to bring up and put out there. If this gets long I apologize in advance.
I was orphaned at 7 so never really had anyone to teach or mentor me. I've made plenty of mistakes but I did manage to get where I am today so I must have done something ok with my life. I'm twice divorced. First one lasted 10 years, second marriage 12 years. I have huge trust issues. Been single for 13-14 years so have created a niche for myself.
I have a DD and 2 DS's, also 2 grands .My DS's are doing fine with their lives. My DD has been in a group home for 9 years (mentally challenged, etc). She was been asked to leave 2 homes because of her behavioral problems. She is 30. There is nowhere else for her to go. In November she came to live with me.
My life has become a living hell. She has issues I can't even begin to describe. She is angry 24/7, she's a cutter, she's requires 24 hour supervision. She is in a day program but I'm afraid they are going to ask her to leave that. I've lost my job because of the time I've had to take off continually with her. I've lost all my friends because of her behavior. Financially we're ok(thank god). She starts therapy sessions next week, but she lies.... a lot.
I guess I'm not asking for advice, just an ear once in awhile for me to vent. Yall don't realize what you mean to me. I feel I have friends here. I know I've rattled on some and I do apologize.
I am one of the lurkers here, but wanted to let you know that I am sending a big hug from Pennsylvania. I hope her therapy sessions help. Is there any other social service available to help both of you?02-26-2012, 08:42 PM #3

Where's the hug buttons when you need them.
I don't know what to say except we're here anytime you want to talk. And you didn't rattle.Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck.

So glad that you feel comfortable enough to open such an important part of your life to us. And may I add that you seem to have a lot going for you.
Am so glad that her Meds are going to be reevaluated - definitely first on my list of ideas. It seems to be such a challenge in so many places as to support for adults with disabilities. Are there any groups in your area that could help you? Now I know that you are not looking for ideas,etc.....but you know me.....this is one of my passions.
Looking forward to hearing from you more often ...on anything you want to talk about.02-26-2012, 11:36 PM #13

ACCORD Trial Highlights the Failure of Western Medicine
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
The ACCORD (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes) Trial is proving to be a complete flop. Its purpose was to aggressively use drugs to lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in type II diabetic patients so as to prevent heart disease. One day it may sink in to the multibillion-dollar-per-year fraud of Big Pharma and Western Medicine that there is a huge difference in drugging people so numbers look better compared to having good numbers because you are healthy. Even TIME magazine is featuring the story of the failure of drugs to cure type II diabetes.
Two years ago the blood sugar arm of the study had to be halted because it increased the risk of death by 20%. Now we find that aggressively lowering lipids using a combination of a statin (simvastatin) plus a fenofibrate (a drug called TriCor) is no better than a statin alone (which is of questionable value in the first place). TriCor is made by Abbott Laboratories. It raked in 1.3 billion in sales in 2009. Abbott does not expect this round of bad news to have any affect on TriCor sales. In other words, Abbott isn't concerned that in many cases doctors are using a drug that produces no benefit. Americans should be concerned by the lack of results and the cost.
Likewise, aggressively lowering blood pressure didn't do any good either.
It is time to rethink the subject of health care starting with Big Pharma and medical doctors who drive up costs prescribing useless medication. It is time their education was changed so that they start dealing with the person instead of numbers that drive drug sales. Western medicine has been on a big push in the last decade to give super high doses of drugs for many conditions. The ACCORD Trial is clear proof that the theory is fatally flawed.
The FDA, which has approved fenofibrate drugs for use in situations that do not help people, once again has mud on its face. The FDA trying to cover its Big Pharma-friendly image has cost Americans tens of billions of dollars in fraudulent drug sales. Yes, the FDA will take months to study the data before it figures out how to cover its rear end.
The take-home message of the ACCORD Trial is rather plain: drugs do not produce health. Managing numbers aggressively with drugs is pointless, highly risky, and all too often increases the risk of early death. Until this con game is forced to stop health care costs cannot possibly be controlled.

U.S., China to Allow Investments by Chinese Banks
The China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) says it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Securities & Exchange Commission in the US. The agreement is a de facto approval for Chinese banks and trusts to begin overseas investments in the US. It is similar to a previous understanding signed with the Hong Kong Securities & Futures Commission which allows Chinese banks to invest in equities, fixed income and mutual funds recognised by the US regulator.
Christopher Cox, chairman of the SEC, said at the signing ceremony with Liu Minkang, chairman of the CBRC, that the US regulator would work closely with the CBRC for information exchange, monitoring and building a cooperative framework for QDII developments.
The deal has come after a recent state visit by US Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson, to China. Paulson, responding to Chinese premier Wen Jiabao's vocal concerns on the US economy, reassured China about the US's long-term stability and said the subprime crisis would be limited.
Paulson's previous attendance of a Strategic Economic Dialogue conference with Chinese officials has resulted in a three-fold increase in total qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) quotas from $10 billion to $30 billion. The QFII programme, unlike QDII, allows overseas investors to invest in Chinese domestic securities.
Unlike its more progressive counterparts in the China Securities Regulatory Commission, which provides oversight to fund management and brokerage houses, the CBRC has only recognised four other foreign markets. The 23 domestic and foreign banks with QDII licenses are allowed to participate in 'mature' markets, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK and Japan.
At the height of the overseas investment frenzy in October last year, the QDII scheme was believed to have attracted close to $25 billion of liquidity from both Chinese and foreign investors into the Hong Kong market, driving one of the most aggressive run-ups in the Hang Seng Index to over 30,000 points, which led to a period of uncertainty in inflation, and Hong Kong citizens calling for the unpegging of the Hong Kong dollar from the US dollar.
The scheme has been on a respirator since, particularly following the spread of the subprime crisis to global markets. Minsheng Bank has been one of the key victims affected as it announced the collapse of its QDII product.
The outlook for the QDII scheme remains uncertain for the rest of 2008, given that Paulson's other agenda includes the revaluation of the renminbi. His previous lobbying might have partly contributed to an upward surge in the Chinese currency against the dollar: just in the past quarter, it has risen by 4%. Chinese citizens view dollar-linked investments with a wary eye and the expectation of depreciation. Observers widely believe the yuan will rise further to see a US-RMB cross-rate below seven this year.
An internal source says the Chinese regulators are closely monitoring developments in the US and UK on the subprime crisis and the emergence of super-regulators for financial market oversight. Chinese leaders are drawing parallels within in the QDII system, CSRC, CBRC, CIRC (an insurance regulator), the State Administration for Foreign Exchange (SAFE), not to mention the National Development & Reform Commission and even the State Council from day-to-day operations to policy designs.

Scores killed as Chechens attack town
Page Tools
Chechen fighters launched a massive attack on police and army buildings in a town in Russia's turbulent Caucasus yesterday that killed dozens of people and challenged the Kremlin's assertions it had the turbulent Caucasus under control.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who came to power in 2000 by talking tough on Chechnya, ordered his security forces to throw a ring of steel around the town of Nalchik and kill any gunman who put up resistance.
"The President gave an instruction that not one gunman should be allowed to leave the town and those who are armed and putting up resistance must be wiped out," Deputy Interior Minister Alexander Chekalin said after meeting Mr Putin, Interfax news agency reported.
Regional officials said that after a morning of mayhem in Nalchik, the main city of the Muslim Kabardino-Balkaria region near rebel Chechnya, at least 12 residents had been killed and 64 wounded.
Deputy State Prosecutor Vladimir Kolesnikov said 20 Chechen fighters were killed and 12 seized by security forces while 12 police were also killed.
Footage broadcast by Russia's NTV television station showed several corpses lying in the streets in pools of blood covered with blankets during the attack which was launched around 9 am and winding down around midday.
The Kremlin's envoy to southern Russia, Dmitry Kozak, said on state television the gunmen had stormed a police station and taken hostages.
"There are two hot spots where there are organised clashes. One is the No. 3 police precinct, where unfortunately there are hostages. An operation is now under way (to free them)," he said. But Mr Kozak said that overall the town was under control.
"There is no mass attack going on. The bandits who attacked police stations and some other government buildings have been dispersed for the most part," he said.
Itar-Tass news agency claimed earlier that Russian forces had killed 50 of the 150 gunmen involved in the co-ordinated attack. Moscow radio said 20 members of the security forces had also been killed.
Chechen separatists who have been fighting for independence from Russia for more than a decade quickly claimed responsibility for the assault on Nalchik, a town of about 280,000 people.
"Forces of the Caucasus Front - a unit of the Chechen Republic's Armed Forces - went into the town, including attack brigades from the Kabardino-Balkarian Yarmuk (Islamist brigade)," a statement on the Chechen rebel website said.
Interfax said that hours after the attack started, fighting was still going on at one police building, while an FSB state security building was under sniper fire.
Regional prosecutor Yuri Ketov said the armed group had launched attacks on Interior Ministry buildings and the local FSB headquarters.
"We have brought in extra Interior Ministry forces and armoured vehicles. Defence Ministry troops have sealed off areas where operations are under way to disarm and eliminate the attackers," Mr Ketov was quoted as saying by Tass.
"These were meticulously planned and synchronised attacks," a police source was quoted as saying by Tass, which described the attackers as "religious extremists".
At the height of the fighting, automatic firing sounded around the town and smoke rose from one of the main police buildings under attack. Children were evacuated from a school nearby.
Kabardino-Balkaria borders the North Ossetia province where Chechen militants attacked a school in the town of Beslan in September 2004, resulting in the deaths of 331 people, half of them children.
"I just woke up when an explosion went off. I could see buildings were on fire. Buildings in the centre are burning," a local man, who did not wish to be named, said. "I've heard grenades, machine-guns, heavy machine-guns," he said.
The armed group attacked police buildings, Russian army units based in the region and a gun store in simultaneous raids. Police said the attackers operated in 10 mobile groups, targeting five or six strategic points.
A summary of attacks outside conventional battle zones in Chechnya since Russia sent in troops in 1994 to crush a post-Communist drive for independence:
June 1995 - Chechen rebels seize hundreds of hostages in a hospital in the southern Russian town of Budennovsk. More than 100 are killed during the rebel assault and a botched Russian commando raid.
Jan 1996 - Chechen fighters take hundreds hostage in a hospital at Kizlyar in Dagestan, then move them by bus to Pervomaiskoye on the Chechen border. Most rebels escape but many hostages are killed when Russian forces attempt a rescue.
Jan 1996 - Hijackers seize the Russian ferry Avrasya sailing from the Turkish Black Sea port of Trabzon. The incident ends peacefully.
Sept 1999 - Bombs destroy apartment blocks in Moscow, Buynaksk and Volgodonsk. More than 200 people are killed. Moscow blames Chechens who in turn blame Russian secret services.
Oct 23-26, 2002 - 129 hostages and 41 Chechen guerrillas are killed when Russian troops storm a Moscow theatre where rebels had taken 700 people captive three days earlier. Most of the hostages are killed by gas used to knock out the Chechens.
July 5, 2003 - Two women suicide bombers kill 15 other people when they blow themselves up at an open-air rock festival at Moscow's Tushino airfield. Sixty are injured.
Aug 1, 2003 - A suicide bomber driving a truck packed with explosives blows up a military hospital at Mozdok in North Ossetia bordering Chechnya. The blast kills at least 50.
Dec 5, 2003 - An explosion tears through a morning commuter train just outside Yessentuki station in Russia's southern fringe. Forty-six people are killed and 160 injured.
Dec 9, 2003 - A suicide bomber kills five other people near the Kremlin. At least 13 people are wounded.
Feb 6, 2004 - A suicide bombing kills at least 39 people and wounds more than 100 on an underground train in Moscow.
June 22, 2004 - Rebels seize an interior ministry building in Ingushetia, near Chechnya, and attack other points in lightning attacks. At least 92 people are killed including the acting regional interior minister, Abukar Kostoyev.
Aug 24, 2004 - Two Russian passenger planes are blown up almost simultaneously, killing 90 people. One Tu-134, flying to Volgograd, goes down south of Moscow. Moments later a Tu-154 bound for Sochi crashes near Rostov-on-Don.
Aug 31, 2004 - A suicide bomb attack in central Moscow kills 10 people and injures 51.
Sept 1-3, 2004 - 331 hostages - half of them children - died in a chaotic storming of School No.1 in Beslan, after it was seized by rebels demanding Chechen independence.
Sept 17, 2004 - Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev claims responsibility for the Beslan siege.
March 8, 2005 - Chechen rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov is killed by Russian troops in a village just north of Grozny.
Oct 13, 2005 - Up to 100 rebels attack key
security points in Nalchik, main city of the Muslim
Kabardino-Balkaria region.

Blended Learning – Education In The Future?
In a recent issue of 'Wired' magazine, Daphne Koller (cofounder of the online-learning platform Coursera) expressed concern about the lack of educational capacity in many countries. For example, it has been estimated that India will need 1,500 universities to accommodate its growing population. A major stumbling block in any planning towards this goal is the fact that India is short of 300,000 faculty members.
Daphne Koller's solution to the problem is a rapid expansion in online education. In particular, she advocates the development of a blended approach, where students watch lectures at home and use the classroom for discussion. It has been shown through research studies that blended learning is superior to purely face-to-face or online teaching.

Save yourself the trouble, and agony of working with this company. Their technician came to my house on a Wednesday to fix a dead fan motor. Not only was he unpleasant to work with, he was trying to fault me for the blown motor, and make me feel like an idiot. He fixed the motor, and after he left, the fan started making a shattering metal on metal sound, which it took them 2 days to come back and diagnose during 102F days. Once the technician came back, he said that the shattering sound was not because of his work, but because a fan wheel was so dirty, that it was out of balance and causing the noise. He had no desire to help me with this situation, and said the home warranty wouldn't cover the VERY loud noise. So loud, it was easily picked up by my cell phone, and recorded.
I asked to speak with a supervisor, only to be insulted by him -- and called a liar, because his technician is a "superb and trustworthy technician, with no customer complaints." I was then told by the supervisor that this technician wears glasses that record audio and video in the home, which I found to be very inappropriate, and frankly -- creepy. I'll also be filing a civil complaint about this, since he's legally not allowed to record in a private place without notification or consent of the property owner.
I warn you now... DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SHAFFER AND SONS. They are not accountable for their sub-par craftsmanship, and you will only be called a liar and told to go somewhere else if you have any complaints. I can't advise you enough how important it is that you do not use this company. If a warranty company sends them to you, I would request another company be dispatched so that you're not stuck with bigger problems than what you originally called them for.

About Us
We appreciate your consideration of adopting a homeless pet. Pet ownership is a serious responsibility, and a lifelong commitment. We have an obligation to the animal to ensure his new family is prepared to accept him, and we have an obligation to potential adopters to help them find the right pet for their circumstances and lifestyle. However you obtain your new pet it is still going to require your time, cost, and responsibility.
After selecting a pet to adopt, you will fill out an adoption questionnaire-application, which gives us important information about you, where you live, and the environment in which the pet will live. Applications are processed in the order in which they are received.
Consulting. We recommend you choose your pet carefully. After processing your application, which could take one to five days depending on the animals status, we will help you prepare for the responsibilities of pet ownership.
Visiting the veterinarian. Within seven (7) days from adopting your new pet, it must go to a participating veterinarian for a physical exam. The exam is free and will help establish a relationship with your veterinarian to ensure your new pet is healthy. If the veterinarian recommends any shots or treatments, he or she will discuss them and the cost before proceeding. State law requires all dogs and cats 4 months and older to be vaccinated against rabies. Animals that are not currently up to date on their rabies shot must be vaccinated by the veterinarian. Adopters pay a low-cost fee of $10.00 directly to the veterinarian for the rabies shot. If the pet is being delivered by Shelter staff to the veterinarian for spay/neuter prior to adoption, the physical exam will be performed at that time.
Spaying/neutering. Tragically, eight million animals are euthanized in shelters across the country each year, due to the tremendous pet overpopulation problem. Virginia State Law requires every pet adopted from a Shelter be spayed or neutered. An appointment date with the participating veterinarian for spaying or neutering of your new pet will be entered on the adoption contract, and you are responsible for presenting the pet to the veterinarian on that date. Failure to spay or neuter the pet will result in criminal and civil fines and repossession of the pet.
Signing the adoption contract. When the adoption application is approved, a time is scheduled for you to come to the Shelter, sign the adoption contract, pay the fees, and pick up the pet. If the Shelter is delivering the pet to the veterinarian for spay or neuter surgery, you will pick up the pet directly from the animal hospital after the surgery. You must agree to the terms of the legal binding adoption contract and sign that you will abide by all of them. If you have any questions about the terms of the contract, please ask.
Dogs: with adoption fee, license, spay/neuter surgery: $125
Cats: with adoption fee, spay/neuter surgery: $90

A witch on the run.
A quiet little town where everything is far from normal.
A fractured witch council threatening to tear the supernatural world apart.
Life hasn't been easy for novice witch Stella but small town life seems to be agreeing with her. When a seemingly innocent girl begs for her protection, Stella is pulled into a dangerous game of unruly magic.
With bewitching friends and two super-sexy mysterious men by her side, Stella is plunged into a mystery where she must uncover dangerous secrets before she ends up paying the ultimate price.
The first book ended on such a cliff hanger, I was desperate to read the next part of this series. We pick back up with Stella becoming acclimated to living in her parents' home. She's becoming familiar with the town of Wilding and her neighbors. Her new neighbors are friendly. And she's becoming really close with them. She seems to be finally coming into her own.
Although there are still unanswered questions. She hasn't heard from Etoile or Evan. She still doesn't know if Evan is alive or not and she starts to suspect he's dead. Chyler, a young teenage witch, pops up out of the blue to plead for Stella's help. Apparently there are people who are trying to capture her and do her harm.
A definite page turner, this book was one that I didn't want to put down. I think that Stella is a great character, she's a novice witch but she's quickly getting her feet. Even though there is a love triangle, Stella keeps her cool and her head. I think she's a great character. And you easily become entranced with all of the other characters as well. A must read.

No bail for man charged with receiving stolen jewelry after murder of Tobago landlord
An unemployed man appeared before a Scarborough magistrate yesterday charged with being in possession of jewelry belonging to murder victim James Morris. His relative and another man, currently behind bars, are expected to appear before a Port-of-Spain magistrate today charged with Morris' murder. Morris, 67, a contractor, was chopped to death at his Mt Pleasant, Tobago, home on April 2, during a robbery. He was a frequent caller to radio talk shows and was known as Mr Mt Pleasant.
In court yesterday, there appeared to be a mix-up with the documents when Sterlone Romeo, 27, of Mt Pleasant, appeared before Magistrate Glen Mahabir, in the Scarborough Magistrates Court. The court documents bore the name of his relative. Romeo is accused of being in unlawful possession and receiving jewelery belonging to Morris. He was denied bail and remanded into custody to reappear on May 15. PC Robley of the Scarborough CID laid the charges. Police said two other men aged 26 and 31 are expected to appear before a Port-of-Spain magistrate today charged with murdering Morris. The matter is expected to be transferred to the Scarborough Magistrates Court in Tobago, the district where the alleged crime was committed. Investigations are continuing.

Kolkata, July 20 (IANS) The opposition Left Front Saturday alleged that the West Bengal administration has failed in holding free and fair voting in third round of the five-phase panchayat elections and sought the State Election Commission's intervention.
"Effective action has not been taken during the third phase of polls Friday. Though the central forces' deployment has increased since the first two phases, it is not enough. They are not being put to use in the right manner," Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) state secretariat member Robin Deb told reporters here.
Led by Deb, a Left Front delegation handed over a memorandum to the SEC alleging "inefficient deployment of central security forces" and sought precautionary measures ahead of the fourth and the final phase of polling July 22 and 25.
Four people were killed, including one in firing by central security forces, Friday in round three of the five-phase elections in the districts of Howrah, South 24 Parganas and North 24 Parganas.
Three deaths were reported from South 24 Parganas district, and another in North 24 Parganas district, while bombs were hurled outside a polling booth in Udaynarayanpur of Howrah district.
Among those killed was, Motherbux Mallick, a CPI-M supporter, who died in a bomb attack while standing in the queue for voting in Bodai of Amdanga block in North 24 Parganas.
Deb said the delegation in its earlier complaint to the SEC had warned of a possibility of violence in Amdanga.
"In Howrah, bombings have continued even a day after the polls. In Amta and Udaynarayanpur, ballot boxes were snatched. We knew there would be problems in Amdanga," said Deb.
Referring to the ruling Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mandal who Wednesday allegedly exhorted party workers to hurl bombs at police and damage houses of independent candidates, Deb deplored the state of affairs.
"One after the other such incidents are occurring and TMC leaders are threatening of indulging in destructive actions. This is the way things are going on," said Deb.
