Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am being threatened by a collection agency to be sued for 2000.00 in unpaid medical bills. This bills are almost a year old and we have an unsteady payment history on this debt(although, we have paid $1200.00 on this account). The problem is is we can only pay what we can pay. They want us on a $900.00 payment plan. We missed our last two payments of $450.00 each. They will probably try to sue us now. We haven't yet received notification. If they do sue us is it possible to pay them off in lieu of having our wages garnished? We are going to be coming in to money to pay off all of our bills in May. They just can't wait for it. Do we have any recourse? What if we send a smaller amount?
Communicating to them is a good way to resolve this issue. You state that the bills are legitimate, and if they are most bill collectors will want a hefty payment but will settle for an amount. Even if a judgement is gotten against you, collecting that amount is usually different. A wage garnishement or payment order will be brought up as the next step. It sounds like you will have the money to pay them -- communicate that fact to them and frankly, May is not that far away and if you have a court date it likely will not go to trial until sometime in May.Ask a similar question
Generally, as the debt seasons (ages), you will find that collection agencies become more and more reasonable with their settlement offers. There is no magic formula, but in my experience, debts that exceed 3 years in age are often settled at 30%. Also, collection agencies threaten lawsuits as a standard practice, but only a moderate percentage of those threats are actually carried out. Do not be threatened into taking action that would cause you significant burden and worsen your situation.
If you are in fact sued and are properly served with notice, you may not have any viable defenses against a judgment. But remember that no wage garnishment for a consumer debt may exceed 25% of your wages (lower in some States, but higher for child support claims). If a judgment is taken, minimize your bank account balances to reduce the risk of bank levy, and do not share information with your creditor about your employment, assets, or banking relationships (unless ordered by a Court, of course). After judgment is taken, most creditors are willing to work out a payment plan, as most would rather collect your money through voluntary proceedings than chasing you through involuntary efforts, such as garnishment, levy, and debtor deposition.Ask a similar question

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Not long after the November elections, I met with Charles Spies, a big-time Republican fundraiser who'd run the pro-Mitt Romney super-PAC Restore Our Future, to hear his take on why Romney lost. We sat across from each other at a long wooden table in a tenth-floor conference room overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue. (Before his firm moved in, Spies says the conference room used to be Al Gore's office.) We talked about super-PACs and the hundreds of millions they spent, the clout (or not) of wealthy donors and how they could get the most bang for their buck in a political campaign. Then, unprompted, Spies told me, "If I had the resources and wanted to impact the policy debate, I'd buy a newspaper or a magazine."
"Even in today's media climate?" I asked.
"Oh, absolutely." He explained:
Not to make money. They're not profitable. But imagine if I was, you know, a mogul that had 30, 40 million dollars to spend and cared about policy issues and elections. I'd buy the New York Times or the LA Times. Buy a major newspaper and put my people in on the editorial page and use that to frame issues the way I wanted to. And then I could claim that the news folks were separate from the editorial page but I think they know where the owner's heart is at.
Spies is not a friend of Charles and David Koch, the billionaire libertarians. He does not move in their political circles. But in our conversation, he laid out what may be the best reason why the Kochs and their company are reportedly considering a move to become America's newest newspaper barons.
As the New York Times reported on Sunday, Koch Industries, the massive conglomerate run by Charles Koch, is mulling a bid to buy eight prominent newspapers owned by the Tribune Company, including the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, and Orlando Sentinel. Those newspapers are valued at $623 million, which is a pittance compared to Koch Industries' annual revenues of $115 billion. If the Kochs wanted to do what Spies described, the megaphone that those newspapers would provide them is nothing to scoff at. The LA Times is the nation's fourth-largest paper, the Tribune the ninth-largest, and tens of millions of people combined visit the newspapers' websites each month.
A bigger platform with which to spread their free-market ideas seems to be what the Kochs want. The Times quotes one attendee of the Kochs' exclusive donor seminars as saying of the brothers, "They see the conservative voice as not being well represented."
Koch Industries spokeswoman Melissa Cohlmia told the Times that the company is "constantly exploring profitable opportunities in many industries and sectors. So, it is natural that our name would come up in connection with this rumor." She went on, "We respect the independence of the journalistic institutions referenced in the news stories. But it is our longstanding policy not to comment on deals or rumors of deals we may or may not be exploring."
If they did buy the Tribune papers, the Kochs wouldn't be the first conservative billionaire to snap up a newspaper or two in the modern era. The Washington Examiner newspaper and the Weekly Standard magazine, both staples of conservative political media, are run by a company owned by Phil Anschutz, another secretive conservative billionaire who has attended a Koch donor seminar. And of course there's Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corporation paid $5 billion in 2007 for the Dow Jones and Company, which includes the Wall Street Journal.
Koch Industries has, at times, a fractious relationship with the media. The company says much of the reporting about Charles and David Koch and their privately-held company is inaccurate or unfair. That sense of grievance led to the creation of KochFacts.com, a website where Koch Industries posts requests for corrections, company statements, testy correspondence between Koch officials and reporters, and favorable news and commentary.
One journalist with whom Koch Industries has clashed is David Sassoon, the publisher of InsideClimate News, a nonprofit website devoted to environmental journalism. InsideClimate News recently won a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting on the dodgy oversight of US oil pipelines. After InsideClimate News reported on Koch Industries' ties to the Canadian tar sands business, Koch Industries blasted the site's "agenda-driven, dishonest journalism" and pressured Reuters, the global news service, to reconsider its decision to publish InsideClimate News' stories. (Reuters stood by Sassoon and his small team of reporters.)
I asked Sassoon, fresh off his Pulitzer win, what he thought of the news of Koch Industries potentially bidding on the Tribune company newspapers. "We reported on the Kochs' involvement in the tar sands, and they played hardball to try to shut us up," he wrote in an email. "They pressured Reuters to drop us as a content partner, and ran ads on Google and Facebook calling me liar...What we've experienced of them first-hand makes me think they would not be trustworthy stewards of the honorable traditions of journalism."

My consultant wants me to have a general anesthesia for full face ebrium laser treatment, but I would prefer to have local anesthesia for the treatment instead? How is the pain under local?
General or Local Anesthesia for Erbium Laser Resurfacing?
Doctor Answers 18
IV sedation has sufficed for all levels of laser treatment
Selection of anesthesia should be directed by the level and intensity of the laser treatment. For superficial treatments, topical anesthesia suffices. For medium to deeper treatments, often local nerve blocks with oral analgesics/sedatives or IV sedation is required. Depending upon one's pain threshold and anxiety level, a general anesthesia may be requested for patient's comfort.
The only time I have utilized general anesthetic is if the patient is already under general anesthesia for another cosmetic surgery. In my practice, IV sedation has sufficed for all levels of laser treatment.
Anesthesia for Laser Resurfacing
Here is a brief outline of what anesthesia is needed for the different uses of the Erbium:YAG laser
- Microlaser peel- topical numbing cream, must be on for at least 30 minutes before starting
- Fractionated laser- topical for most, some people will need more sedation.
- Deep full-face laser peel- heavy IV sedation or general anesthesia with injected regional blocks
I have done a deep laser peel on small segments (i.e. lips or around the eyes) with just injected medication. You would either be really tough or just a glutton for pain if you did the deep laser on the entire face without sedation. Although this is a general outline, there are some people who are particularly anxious and need oral Valium, injected regional blocks or even general anesthesia for even a microlaser peel. Remember that if this is a nightmare experience for all involved, it's unlikely you'll be happy no matter how good the results.
Sedation at least...
Hope that helps
Dr Davin Lim

Erbium laser does not require general anesthesia.
I have performed thousands laser resurfacings, both CO2 and Erbium. I have not seen the need to use general anesthesia since the introduction of the fractional lasers. The most popular Erbium laser is the Fraxel Restore. It is a fractional laser and is easily done with a topical anesthetic in combination with oral sedation, typically Valium and Percocet. General anesthesia is simply not necessary and introduces excess risk and cost.
Laser resurfacing anesthesia
The choice of anesthesia for laser resurfacing of the face is very much dependent on your own pain tolerance. There are parts of the face which are easily numbed with local anesthesia like around the mouth and the forehead. The cheeks are harder to make numb and need more injections. Taking an oral pain pill before the procedure can help some also. General anesthesia is probably the most comfortable way to do it, but you can do it with local anesthesia or sedation.
Hope that helps!
Josh Korman MD
General or local anesthesia for full face erbium resurfacing
Most erbium resurfacing procedures can be done without general anesthesia, just by applying a topical anesthetic cream about an hour before the actual resurfacing.
However, pain is a very subjective sensation, as people have different pain tolerance levels.
The amount of pain with a procedure does depend on the depth of the resurfacing. The deeper the penetration of the laser, the more painful the procedure will be, as there are more nerves deeper in the skin. The deeper the resurfacing, the greater the expected results. The more aggressive procedures may require more than topical anesthesia.
There are also techniques for doing local nerve blocks that will anesthetise large areas of the face, such as the cheek areas numbed by injecting lidocaine in the area of the infraorbital nerves.
I would recommend that you discuss the procedure with your doctor and talk about his/her reasons for general anesthesia.
General or Local Anesthesia for Erbium Laser Resurfacing?
This is a difficult question because there are many factors that only your physician knows. In general, I would go with the recommendation of your surgeon. If you feel you would rather have local anesthesia, speak to him about it and have him explain to you why you are not a good candidate for this. He actually may think that you prefer general and that is why he recommended it. If you don't like the answer, you are entitled to get other opinions. Laser resurfacing is commonly done under local anesthesia.
Need more than just topical anesthesia for full face Erbium!
I do a lot of deep Erbium full face resurfacing. It is awesome and gives phenomenal results. The amount of anesthesia is proportion to the depth of the laser resurfacing. If the surgeon is doing a very shallow peel to just freshen up your skin, topical anesthesia is good enough. However, deep resurfacing to really regenerate new skin, collagen, etc will require deeper anesthesia. I recommend IV sedation with blocks. I don't think general anesthesia is required.
Pain-Free Laser Resurfacing
Erbium laser skin resurfacing can have dramatic results and can be done relatively pain free. There are actually 3 options:
1. General Anesthesia
2. Sedation
3. Local/topical anesthesia
I only use general anesthesia if the patient is going to the operating room for something else at the same time (a facelift, for example). Sedation is a good option along with topical anesthesia, but not absolutely necessary. Often my patients will take a medication by mouth before the procedure to help them relax. Topical anesthetic cream is absoultely necessary if you are going to be awake. There are different creams on the market, but the most important thing is to give it plenty of time to work.
Anesthesia for laser resurfacing
Anesthesia requirements for laser resurfacing will depend on the type of laser used and the patient's pain tolerance. If the laser is fractionated, topical numbing medicine and possibly nerve blocks can be used to treat the face. General anesthesia is very rarely used but still an option if a patient has a low pain tolerance.

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – A Malaysia-bound Malindo Air flight diverted to Thailand and made an emergency landing on Monday after the cabin started to de-pressurise, the airline said, adding that none of the 129 people aboard was hurt.
The Malaysia-based carrier's flight OD206 from Delhi had been due to arrive in Kuala Lumpur early Monday but instead re-routed to Bangkok after the incident, which caused oxygen masks to deploy inside the plane.
"A slow decompression was detected by the pilot," said a Malindo spokesman, who suggested it may have been caused by oxygen leaking from the fuselage.
"In our case, oxygen masks were deployed as a precautionary measure according to SOP (standard operating procedure)."
The Boeing 737-900ER had 121 passengers and eight crew aboard.
The incident was still being investigated.
Malaysian aviation has endured a horrible year with flag carrier Malaysia Airlines losing two jets and 537 people.
Flight MH370 disappeared in March with 239 people aboard and is believed to have mysteriously diverted and crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, but no evidence to prove the theory has been found.
Flight MH17 came down over conflict-torn Ukraine in July, believed to have been shot down by a surface-to-air missile, killing all 298 people aboard.

North Dakota on Friday moved closer to adopting what would be the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.
The North Dakota Senate overwhelmingly approved two antiabortion bills Friday, one banning abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy and another prohibiting women from having the procedure because a fetus has a genetic defect, such as Down syndrome. North Dakota would be the first state in the country to adopt such laws.
Supporters said their goal is to challenge the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion up until a fetus is considered viable, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
The state's only abortion clinic is in Fargo, and abortion-rights advocates say the measures are meant to shut it down.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple (R) hasn't said whether he would veto the measures, and the bills have enough support in each chamber for the legislature to override him.
Opponents have promised legal challenges to both measures if they become law.
— Associated Press
Colorado lawmakers voted on Friday to mandate universal background checks for all gun buyers in a state that has experienced two of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history — at a movie theater in Aurora in 2012 and at Columbine High School in 1999.
The measure passed the state Senate 19 to 14 and the state House 36 to 27, without the support of a single Republican member in either chamber.
The vote followed months of debate on gun control in Colorado and came after legislators approved four other gun control measures on Wednesday.
The legislation now awaits the signature of Gov. John Hickenlooper for final approval. Hickenlooper, a Democrat, has indicated he supports universal background checks for gun buyers.
On Wednesday, the Colorado legislature approved a package of four other gun control measures, including a controversial ban on ammunition magazines with more than 15 rounds, which Hickenlooper has said he would sign.
Passage of the bills could push Colorado to the forefront of a national gun control debate reignited by several mass shootings last year, including the December massacre of 20 children and six adults at a school in Newtown, Connecticut.

Greyhound said the 48 passengers were moved to a new bus, and the bus they had been riding was being examined to determine where the bugs came from.

AFTER six months of brainstorming inspirations and ideas, 101 objets d'art (French for work of art) were created by 14 chosen local artists, both young and old, who participated in the 2nd Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park Art Retreat 2014. A section of the creations was displayed at the Art Gallery at Dermaga Diraja.
The art exhibition of these masterpieces was launched by Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Laila Diraja Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Hazair bin Haji Abdullah, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS) in his capacity as the guest of honour during the opening ceremony yesterday.
Themed 'The Beauty of Tasek Merimbun: Our Heritage', the local artists were encouraged to create open creative art with subjects such as nature, the life of animals, as well as the environment, where mixed media and materials were used in their arts.
"It is our aspiration to bring the spotlight on Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park as it is the only Asean Heritage Park in Brunei. In addition, it has a unique environment with its rich and diverse flora and fauna," said Pg Dr Karim bin Pg Hj Osman, Acting Director of Museums in his welcoming remarks.
He mentioned that compared to scientific research activities, the heritage park is seldom touched by the local artists and the art retreat was one of the ways to bring the local artists to produce their work of arts through their own diverse perspectives and interpretations.
For maximum exposure, the artists were brought to several places within the heritage park to enable them to fully experience its unique and diverse surroundings. After the completion of their pieces, the artists would hand over one of their masterpieces for the Museums Department's collection.
"In return, the artists' collection from the art retreat will be displayed in the Art Gallery at Dermaga Diraja and the artists are also allowed to sell their works. This creates a win-win situation where both parties benefit from and in turn will encourage more local artists to continue creating more masterpieces," stated the acting director.
He hoped that the art retreat will encourage more artistic activities.
The event then continued with a presentation of certificates by the guest of honour to all the local artists who took part in the art retreat, followed by a token presentation to the guest of honour by the acting director. The event concluded with an art exhibition tour by the minister, accompanied by the acting director as well as local artists.
Also in attendance were Datin Paduka Hjh Adina binti Othman, the Deputy Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports; Dato Paduka Awang Hj Mohd Hamid bin Hj Mohd Jaafar, Permanent Secretary of Culture, Youth and Sports; directors; deputy directors and senior government officials.

Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: My husband and I and our four children live in Seattle, Washington. We love to travel and have spent much of our free time traveling around the globe. We love outdoor activities such as boating, skiing, swimming, snorkeling and hiking.
Why the Owner Chose Estate Smith Bay, Saint Thomas, USVI:
My family and I fell in love with St. Thomas and Sapphire Beach when we first visited it on a Carribean cruise in August of 2010. We knew we wanted return. In January of 2011 we made a return trip to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. We stayed at Sapphire Beach and knew we wanted to own a piece of this paradise. We purchased our first unit a month later and just this year (March, 2012) purchased our second unit. Both units are gorgeous and we are so happy to share our piece of this paradise with you!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
This flat is one of two of our 'Gems of the Carribean'. This unit is a one bedroom, 1 bath (sleeps 4). Our other unit onsite is a two story Villa with 1 bedroom, 2 baths (sleeps 6). Both units are gorgeous and decorated to provide a relaxing vacation atmosphere.

Eocyte hypothesis
|Ignicoccus hospitalis (and its symbiote Nanoarchaeum equitans)
|Scientific classification
|Archaea or Arkarya
Lake et al. 1988[1]
|Domain & Regnum
The Eocyte hypothesis is a biological classification that indicates eukaryotes emerged within the prokaryotic Crenarchaeota (formerly known as eocytes), a phylum within the archaea. This hypothesis was originally proposed by James A. Lake and colleagues in 1984 based on the discovery that the shapes of ribosomes in the Crenarchaeota and eukaryotes are more similar to each other than to either bacteria or the second major kingdom of archaea, the Euryarchaeota.[2][3]
The eocyte hypothesis gained considerable attention after its introduction due to the interest in determining the origin of the eukaryotic cell. This hypothesis has primarily been in contrast with the three-domain system introduced by Carl Woese in 1977. Additional evidence supporting the eocyte hypothesis was published in the 1980s, but despite fairly unequivocal evidence, support waned in favor of the three-domain system.[1][2]
With advancements in genomics, the eocyte hypothesis experienced a revival beginning in the mid-2000s. As more archaeal genomes were sequenced, numerous genes coding for eukaryotic traits have been discovered in various archaean phyla, seemingly providing support for the eocyte hypothesis. In addition to a Crenarchaeal origin of eukaryotes, some studies have suggested that eukaryotes may also have originated in the Thaumarchaeota.[2][4][5][6][7]

14:16 3th January 2011
A superb strike from winger Anthony Pilkington was enough to give Town all three points in front of the Sky cameras this afternoon.
Pilkington's first half strike was the highlight of a very entertaining game, which was littered with chances for either team. However, over the ninety minutes Town deserved to win and in doing so got their promotion push back on track.
Town created the first chance of the game within 20 seconds of kick-off; new boy Kilbane found Scott Arfield behind the Wednesday defence and he slipped a pass into the area for Jordan Rhodes, whose shot was saved by 'keeper Weaver at close range.
From the resulting corner, Clinton Morrison survived a big handball shout as the ball bounced up at him.
Anthony Pilkington started on the left wing, with Gary Roberts on the right, and they saw plenty of the ball in the opening stages. However, the Owls were playing with similar width and Gary Teale started the game well. Left back Tommy Spurr possessed a long throw and from his fifth minute delivery centre back Beevers flicked the ball onto the far post where Morrison volleyed well over at full stretch.
The visitors continued to press and went close to the opener barely a minute later through the tall Beevers; he got his head to Teale's near post corner but the ball hit the post, with Gary Roberts on hand to clear if he had been needed.
At the other end birthday boy Peter Clarke's back post header from a Pilkington corner forced Weaver into a comfortable save. However, the Terriers were in the ascendancy once again by this stage and after cutting infield Pilkington smashed a low shot towards goal that forced the 'keeper to turn the ball around the post.
January signing Kilbane was showing his quality in the early stages and played several long passes that wowed the Town faithful; unfortunately for Lee Clark's side, his 12th minute delivery to Roberts was adjudged to be offside as the winger bared down on goal.
Alex Smithies had to be alert at the other end when Wednesday tried to break away two minutes later. Midfielder Tommy Miller sent a clever ball over the top into the path of striker Neil Mellor but the England youth custodian sprang from his line and played the ball off his opponent for a goal kick.
Miller looped a header harmlessly over the bar from another Teale delivery in the 16th minute as the game continued to race from end to end.
The lively Kilbane tested Weaver with a 25 yard volley two minutes later, but the custodian gathered the ball in to his left side.
Wednesday then created a great chance through a clever one-two between Morrison and speedy winger Jermaine Johnson, but the latter pulled his low shot wide from the edge of the box when well positioned.
Teale then smashed a free-kick straight into the chest of Smithies after Kay had pulled the shirt of Morrison to the right of Town's goalmouth.
Another minute, another attack; and this time Town were doing the attacking. Johnson fouled Roberts in the far left corner and from Pilkington's deep delivery Novak's header forced Weaver into a good reaction save above his head.
GOAL - Town opened the scoring with a contender for goal of the season in the 27th minute through Anthony Pilkington. The winger collected the ball wide on the right and used the overlapping run of Lee Peltier brilliantly to sidestep infield; 'Pilks' drove towards the area and sent a beautiful, curling left-footed shot into the top corner of the goal from 25 yards - leaving Nicky Weaver with absolutely no chance for his 11th of the season.
At the other end Tommy Miller forced Smithies into a good tip over his own bar with his own 25 yard free kick as the visitors tried to respond. The Town 'keeper did brilliantly to collect in the resulting corner to, drawing the plaudits from the stands.
Peter Clarke and Smithies then combined to thwart Neil Mellor just as it looked like the striker had broken Town's offside trap. Wednesday's balls over the top were causing Town's defence some problems and moments later Smithies had to rush off his line again to clear the ball as Mellor bore down on goal, with Alex clearing out the man at the same time.
BOOKING - Kevin Kilbane was shown the first yellow card of the game in the 36th minute for a tackle that won the ball, but which saw the Irishman leave the ground.
Lee Peltier showed great strength to barge full back Spurr off the ball upon the restart as he charged down the dead ball line to the right of the pitch, but after cutting slightly infield his low shot was blocked by the foot of Weaver.
Smithies was having an outstanding game and in the 39th minute he pulled off a super save to keep his side in front. A Wednesday corner fell to the feet of Miller on the penalty spot, but his powerful volley was kept out by the outstretched hand of Alex - who still had the good sense to recover and push the ball around the post with Darren Purse lurking for a tap in.
Centre back Beevers' height was causing Town a few issues at set pieces and he soon powered a towering header over the crossbar from another corner.
The last real chance of the half fell to Scott Arfield, who collected a good lay-off from Novak on the edge of the box in the 43rd minute; however, his low effort drifted just wide of Weaver's left-hand post.
Kilbane had a shot deflected wide in the three minutes of first half added time before Pilkington sent a spectacular volley well wide of goal.
Neither side made changes during the interval and Wednesday had the ball in the back of the net on the stroke of the 49th minute through a Morrison volley, but the striker had already been given offside - much to the former Irish international's disgust.
Lee Novak was the recipient of a very tight offside call in the 54th minute after Arfield played the ball over the top, which prevented his superb over Weaver from counting.
Alex Smithies was still struggling with an apparent foot injury after a first half collision, which was forcing Antony Kay to take his goal kicks.
Jordan Rhodes sent a speculative curler wide of the far post as the hour mark approach.
Novak had another shot from range blocked by a defender five minutes later.
BOOKING - Jermaine Johnson was shown a yellow card for dissent in the 67th minute after he was adjudged to have fouled Anthony Pilkington.
SUB - Town made their first change in the same minute, with Tom Clarke replacing Gary Roberts. This substitution saw Tom move into central midfield, with Scott Arfield moving to the right wing.
Moments after the restart Kilbane drove the ball wide from range.
SUB - Wednesday made their first change in the 71st minute, with winger Chris Sedgwick replacing Gary Teale.
A huge clearance from Nicky Weaver caused havoc when it bounced in behind the Town backline in the 74th minute, but Mellor's eventual volley dropped over the crossbar.
The ball was soon at the other end, where Novak's shot was well saved by the goalkeeper before Pilkington's follow-up was blocked well by the recovering Purse.
SUB - Wednesday replaced Jon Otsemobor with Daniel Jones in the 75th minute.
SUB - Jordan Rhodes was then replaced by Alan Lee in Town's second substitution a minute later.
BOOKING - Antony Kay was shown a yellow card after a foul was committed on Mellor, although it looked like it was actually Peter Clarke who committed the offence.
Alan Lee then managed to break clear of the Wednesday defence but after stumbling, the chance to shoot fell to Scott Arfield who forced Weaver to push the ball behind with a powerful volley.
SUB - Clark made his final change with three minutes left; he replaced Lee Novak.
SUB - Wednesdaymade a change at the same, with striker Paul Heffernan replacing midfielder James O'Connor.
Wednesday pressed hard in the final stages and even 'keeper Nicky Weaver got into Town's box for a couple of late set pieces, but the best the Owls could manage was a back post header from Morrison that flew way over the bar.

Self-reported by organization
As the state-designated history services provider for St. Louis County, the St. Louis County Historical Society has protected the history of northeastern Minnesota for more than 85 years. Since 1922, we have collected, preserved, and made available collections that reflect the people and cultures of our area, thereby sharing our past.
The Society introduces visitors to the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center, better known as the Depot, our home since 1976, to the region's roots by presenting the stories of exploration, immigration, and development, in our exhibits. Just a portion of the Society's efforts are represented by these exhibits. We hold in public trust thousands of museum(hours.asp) objects and tens of thousands of archival records, which can be accessed at the Northeast Minnesota Historical Center, at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

Program 1
Veterans' Memorial Hall
Mission Statement
Veterans' Memorial Hall is a joint project of the St. Louis County Historical Society and the United States Military service veterans of northeastern Minnesota, with a mission to gather, preserve, interpret, and promote the rich and diverse human experiences of veterans, their families, and communities through museum, archival, and educational programs.
Program long term success
Today, the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center (the Depot) is home to a program called Veterans' Memorial Hall; it is part of the St. Louis County Historical Society. But at one time, it was separate from the Society. A hundred years ago, it was called the Soldiers Memorial Room—a misleading name, for it was really a comfortable suite of rooms for the veterans' community—and it was situated three blocks north of its current location, on the main floor of what was then the brand new St. Louis County Courthouse.
At the turn of the 20th century, the county decided to build a courthouse that would be unrivalled in Minnesota. They hired one of the notable architects of the time, Daniel ("D.H.") Burnham. In his drawings, one can see the plan for the rooms that were dedicated to the veterans of St. Louis County. They were built on the eastern side of the main floor. Called the Soldiers Memorial Room, this suite of rooms featured a reception room, kitchen, and library. It also included a large room with a stage. The Soldiers Memorial Room was beautifully furnished in a style consistent with the rest of the courthouse building. Chairs from the room can be found in the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center today, as can the GAR speaker's podium and sign-in desk. Burnham's blueprints from 1909, which were drafted on massive linen sheets, still hang in the St. Louis County Courthouse.
In the 1920s, the GAR Post decided to enhance the look of the Civic Center by installing a large new flagpole. The flagpole is referred to as the "Sailors and Soldiers Monument" and has a memorial at its base dedicated to the members of the Joshua Culver Post. It also has a statue of a knight sitting in front of the monument, which was sculpted by Paul Bartlett. It was around this time that the Room began to be universally referred to as Memorial Hall.
The Hall was used not only by the GAR but also by the United Spanish War Veterans. Eventually, the location was used by many different veteran organizations, from the Disabled American Veterans to the Veterans of the World War. Its library had many pieces of memorabilia and books from the many different wars and engagements. It displayed items such as a WWI German machine gun and a Civil War era military drum.
In 1926, the United Spanish War Veterans began operating the room. In 1954, the John McEwen Camp No. 6 of the United Spanish War Veterans celebrated their 56th anniversary in Memorial Hall.
Possibly because of the existence of the VFWs, Legions, and other veterans' organizations with their own buildings and spaces, there wasn't a need a great need for the room. Pressure to use the space for other governmental functions may also have contributed to the closing of that particular space as a Veterans' Memorial Hall.
Officially at 11:37 am on Tuesday, October 19, 1965, Memorial Hall was locked usuch as the nine Springfield rifles and a dollar given by Albert Woolson, were sent to the Twin Cities Chapter the United Spanish War Veterans. But some of the the furniture and many other items were donated to the St. Louis County Historical Society or stored.
Since then, Veterans' Memorial Hall has moved to the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center (the Depot) and is maintained by the St. Louis County Historical Society and the military service veterans from the Arrowhead region. The speakers at the original dedication ceremony promised, "Your services to the country will be remembered so long as liberty is prized and the patriotic valor is remembered." Veterans' Memorial Hall aims to honor that statement. We have collected more than 1,500 artifacts and 6,000 veteran stories. Today, we have one of the largest collections of military items and veterans' stories in the state of Minnesota.

For much of the late 1990s and early 21st century, the Society helped develop the World War II Living History Project and the Veterans' Memorial Hall at the Center. The Veterans' Memorial Hall website went online in 2001 to chronicle the lives of northeastern Minnesota veterans of conflicts from the Civil War to the Gulf War. Dignity Thru Unity, a Vietnam War exhibit, opened in April 2004 and was recognized for excellence in 2005. The Society opened its second major Veterans' Memorial Hall exhibit, Generations of Service, in August of 2009. The exhibit is a comprehensive tribute to veterans of all conflicts in which northeastern Minnesotans participated.
Generations of Service
The Veterans' Memorial Hall (VMH) Program of the St. Louis County Historical Society has opened a new feature exhibit. Generations of Service illuminates 150 years of U.S. military history by bringing the stories and artifacts of local service members into focus--from the rare 1818 American flag donated by Civil War POW Robert W. Mars, who settled in Duluth after the Civil War, to the backpack and dog tags donated by Mark Hilleren, who served in Iraq. Visitors encounter history through the artifacts and stories of veterans connected to northeastern Minnesota.
Upon entering the exhibit, viewers will see one of the rarest of American flags, a twenty-star American flag from 1818. Only twenty such flags are known to exist. (This flag flew over the nation for one year; at the time, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were still alive.) The flag was donated by the family of a local Civil War veteran.
Visitors will then see eight cases, each containing several items from a particular war. A Civil War bugle is on display, along with a section of an oak tree from the battlefield at Gettysburg with a bullet lodged in it. A uniform from the Spanish American war; a naval aviator helmet from World War I; a leather bomber jacket with from World War II; a yellow arrowhead-shaped patch sewn for service members in Korea; a hand grenade from Vietnam; a uniform from Desert Shield/Storm; and an MRE (meal ready to eat) from Iraq—these are only a few of the artifacts on display that tell the story of service members and their war experiences.
The exhibit is rounded out by several other displays:
- One considers the impact of war on the families on the home front. This section includes a reconstruction of the end of a mine tunnel or "drift," reflecting the profound impact that iron ore from the Iron Range had on the U.S. ability to arm for battle in World War I and World War II.
- Another addresses the history of local Ojibwe veterans and the manner in which they are honored at powwows and in veterans' museums.
- The unique experiences of POWs (prisoners of war) are considered; a flag from a local chapter of the American Ex-Prisoners of War is on display.
- A case with "war souvenirs" includes a World War I airplane-mounted German machine gun.
- Local recipients of the prestigious Medal of Honor are recognized.
- Counterfeit military medals confiscated by the FBI are also on display.
- Finally, a killed in action wallbears silent witness to the terrible local losses of war: it honors the memory of more than 1,100 St. Louis County service members who died in combat, from the Civil War to the present.
Visitors are able to watch a 2.5-minute interview with a veteran. Visitors are also able to enter the story of their service or that of a loved one (if the veteran is from or now lives in northeastern Minnesota) on the website while in the exhibit.
The St. Louis County Historical Society has collected and made available on the VMH website more than 6,000 veterans' oral histories. The Society also maintains the third largest collection of military artifacts in Minnesota and, since 1922, has been gathering military and home front archival materials. The Generations of Service exhibit features both artifacts and archives drawn from the Society's extensive collection.
Veterans' Memorial Hall wishes to thank the exhibit sponsors: the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation, Lake Superior College, Minnesota Historical Society, the Northland Vietnam Veterans Association, St. Louis County, United States Steel Foundation, Inc., the Wildey H. Mitchell Family Foundation, and the individual contributors who helped make it possible.

Program 2
American Indian Program
Mission :
The St. Louis County Historical Society American Indian Advisory Committee seeks to develop a permanent exhibit and auxiliary educational program based in the St. Louis County Heritage and Arts Center that will present, Through Ojibwe Eyes & With Ojibwe Voices , the culture and heritage of the Lake Superior Ojibwe people. The exhibit will place in appropriate context the Eastman Johnson images of Minnesota Ojibwe life, and accurately portray American Indian regional history and contemporary culture.
Program long term success
The Society has in its collection a large number of Ojibwe artifacts. Of particular interest is an Ojibwe garment related to Johnson's Minnehaha painting. The Midwest Art Conservation Center in Minneapolis has recently assessed, conserved, and treated most of the Society's Eastman Johnson art collection.
Eastman Johnson was one of America's finest portrait, figure, and genre scene painters. Originally from Maine, Johnson studied extensively in Europe before journeying to Superior, Wisconsin in 1856 to visit relatives.
Captivated by the area and native people, he remained through the winter of 1856-57, building a cabin and traveling the western and northern lake region. Johnson's destinations included Grand Portage, Minnesota – a fur trading center on Lake Superior's North Shore near the Canadian border. Johnson returned to Superior later in 1857 to create the majority of his Ojibwe artworks. During his 1856-57 stays, Johnson created numerous drawings and paintings of Superior and Grand Portage's Ojibwe residents, preserving forever the faces and homes of Lake Superior's native people.
After Eastman Johnson's death in 1906, Richard Teller Crane purchased over 30 of his unsold Lake Superior Ojibwe works of 1856-1857. Crane later donated the collection to the City of Duluth, which in turn entrusted them to the St. Louis County Historical Society, where they remain in its permanent collection. The Historical Society's single most significant collection is comprised of these artworks.

Ojibwe Faces and Stories
The Society's traveling exhibit is an eight-panel compilation of high quality reproductions of its entire Eastman Johnson collection of art work, centered on Ojibwe life, created by the artist in 1856 - 1857 while in residence here at "Head of the Lakes" (Duluth-Superior) and at Grand Portage. Each piece includes "label text" developed by Thomas O'Sullivan, former Curator of Art at Minnesota Historical Society, and approved by the Society's American Indian Advisory Committee. The original paintings, and, especially, the charcoal drawings, are fragile and can only withstand rare and carefully limited exhibition. Thus, this traveling exhibit will make the collection much more extensively available for viewing.
The extensive exhibit includes a map of the Ojibwe world of the time, of which Grand Portage was the center. The paintings and drawings are grouped together in such categories as "Ancestral Portraits", "Scenes of Everyday Life", and "Continuing Dialogue", a panel featuring photographs and quotations from contemporary Ojibwe people of this region.
Lake Superior Ojibwe Gallery: Located on the 4th floor of the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center (the Depot)
The Ojibwe Gallery features the work of internationally recognized 19th century painter Eastman Johnson. The gallery is a project of the St. Louis County Historical Society, custodians of the art depicting the Ojibwe people when Johnson visited the "Head of the Lakes" in 1856 and 1857.
According to Society Executive Director JoAnne Coombe "The mandate for the gallery – conveying the voice and viewpoint of the Lake Superior Ojibwe – developed after years of collaborative discussion with a hardworking American Indian Advisory Committee - comprised of tribal appointees from the Fond du Lac, Bois Forte and Grand Portage Bands – and at large members of the American Indian community." "The committee will now focus on educational programming and traveling exhibits to celebrate the Ojibwe way of life – past and present."
The Lake Superior Ojibwe Gallery project was made possible by the support of the residents of St. Louis County and funding provided through the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, the JNM Gift Trust and the Depot Foundation. The Historic Union Depot Corporation and the St. Louis County Historical Society co-hosted the dedication and related activities.

The people, governance practices, and partners that make the organization tick.
Ms. Jo Anne Coombe
Current Executive Director JoAnne Coombe began her administration of the Society in 1992, after a three-year co-administration with Maryanne Norton in the interim after Larry Sommer departed to accept a post as head of the Montana State Historical Society in Helena. Coombe presided over several major developments during the 1990s: the opening of the Forest History Gallery, the Fesler Gallery, with its Herman Melheim Collection of intricately carved furniture, and the formation of an American Indian Advisory Committee.
For much of the late 1990s and early 21st century, the Society helped develop the World War II Living History Project and the Veterans' Memorial Hall at the Center. The Veterans' Memorial Hall website went online in 2001 to chronicle the lives of northeastern Minnesota veterans of conflicts from the Civil War to the Gulf War. Dignity Thru Unity, a Vietnam War exhibit, opened in April 2004 and was recognized for excellence in 2005. The Society opened its second major Veterans' Memorial Hall exhibit, Generations of Service, in August of 2009. The exhibit is a comprehensive tribute to veterans of all conflicts in which northeastern Minnesotans participated.

I'd choose lalafell because having fell in love with tarutaru in FFXI, lalafell are the next best thing! I don't think I could enter a final fantasy inspired world as any other race. My starting location would be Gridania because the place screams Windurst to me and that was my favorite place back in Vana'diel.

Shin Min Daily News, one of Singapore's evening newspaper, has been running a daily column on "Master Hsing Yun - Words of Wisdom" since 2009.
A compilation of his quotes was published in 2011 which quickly rose to the bestseller list of that year. The first book was reprinted twice, and a second book on his quotes was subsequently published in 2012 which was also quickly sold out. A third book was released in June 2013, and had since garnered rave reviews.
Articles in the series were derived and edited from Master Hsing Yun's preachings, lecturings and writings over the year. Each article consisted of a thought-provoking short story which ultimately brings out the day to day "living wisdom" that one could adopt.
This app is the digital version of the first book.

I've never in my life had chicken cacciatore, so I'm not exactly sure what prompted me to try making a vegan version of it. I think i saw a picture somewhere and thought it sounded interesting..plus I had a bunch of random stuff in my fridge and cupboards that needed to be used.
It was okay...I don't think I put enough spice in it and I think next time I'll used fresh tomatoes instead of canned diced OR go with canned crushed because I always find canned diced tomatoes to have a bit of a sour taste to them. Could just be me and my weird taste buds.
I like the idea of cacciatore, which involves a mishmash of slowly stewed vegetables (carrots, green beans, onions, bell pepper...anything would probably go, really) this just didn't have as much flavour as I wanted it to. Perhaps a hot pepper and some more oregano and marjoram will do the trick next time because the flavour was good, it just wasn't strong enough.
Plus the fettuccine noodles that I used were not great...they are the PC Blue Menu whole grain. They were on sale and $2 cheaper than the Eddie's Spaghetti brand I usually buy (which is organic, vegetable-based as opposed to strictly wheat-based and so ridiculously awesome) but I found them to taste like rubber even though I cooked them twice as long as I normally cook pasta. I could be doing it wrong, but I don't like my pasta cooking to be too complicated so I think I will pass on this particular Blue Menu product in the future.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Having a couple of weeks off paid off for Arizona Cardinals running back Rashard Mendenhall.
The starter had been playing through a turf toe injury and he could've continued to fight off the pain, but leading up to the Atlanta game, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians felt it was time to shut Mendenhall down for a couple weeks and let him recover.
"I feel great right now," Mendenhall said.
Turf toe is a general term used for sprained or torn ligaments in a toe, but it's painful, the running back said.
"It's a matter of kind of what you can take, and whether you're going forwards or backwards," Mendenhall said.
The injury limited how much Mendenhall could run, how well he was able to cut, and it impacted how he could stop. It basically made everything tougher, he added.
It also hurt his numbers.
Mendenhall was Arizona's second-leading rusher with 281 yards through the first eight games, but had 49 more carries than the next best running back. After reviewing his first half, Mendenhall was pleased with how he executed the plays and hit his holes, but he was frustrated with not getting as many yards as he'd like.
Mendenhall's bye week wasn't any different than the rest of the season. While some teammates and coaches broke down tape of the first eight games last weekend, Mendenhall was focused on his last outing. Since he was in high school, Mendenhall has made it a habit of reviewing tape and breaking down his performances.
He finds his flaws, but also finds his strong points.
"I started with my high school coach, and just always kinda looking back, seeing what I did, why I made that decision, what I can do better," Mendenhall said. "So, that's something I've always done.
"I do (it) week in and week out. All the time. Just an every-day thing."

Brexit Veto Talk Rises in EU's East on Concern Over Workersby
Polish negotiator says 'veto pressure' to weigh on talks
Eastern nations say no free market for U.K. if worker access
Poland, the biggest exporter of workers to the U.K., joined a chorus of voices from the European Union's eastern nations in signaling it may veto any Brexit agreement that would erode the rights of its citizens to live and work throughout the bloc's single market.
While negotiations will aim at a compromise, Poland won't support a deal that's not "balanced" in terms of the four principles of the EU's single market -- the free movement of goods, people, capital and services -- Deputy Foreign Minister Minister Konrad Szymanski told Bloomberg on Monday. Along with the EU's other eastern members, Poland has made the free movement of people a key condition for the U.K. to maintain unfettered access to the world's biggest trading bloc.
European governments are staking out so-called "red lines" detailing what they'll accept or reject in Brexit negotiations, with Poland and Hungary also trying to use the U.K.'s withdrawal as a trigger for a deep overhaul of the way Brussels works. The influence of the post-communist countries is bigger now, as all EU leaders excluding the U.K. must agree unanimously on the guidelines for the talks, while the actual deal must pass by qualified majority, meaning bigger countries may manage to approve one without their support.
"It's clear that negotiations on a new relationship are being held under pressure of a veto," Szymanski said, when asked about the possibility of Poland blocking a deal. "Negotiations are aimed at avoiding a veto, but we will not seek a compromise at any cost."
Communist Memories
The bloc's 11 ex-communist members, where memories of dreaded visa regimes which kept them behind the Iron Curtain remain vivid, have insisted that the U.K. can't have free access to the common EU market unless it also opens its borders to their citizens without limits. The push by Poland and Hungary to reduce oversight from Brussels is also a bid to help their governments escape scrutiny from the EU's executive over whether they're adhering to the bloc's democratic standards.
After last week's summit of EU leaders in Bratislava that excluded Britain, Slovak Premier Robert Fico said his country, along with Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic, were ready to veto any Brexit deal that didn't guarantee their citizens equal access. Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said last week that "the application of the four freedoms must remain the paramount condition for keeping access."
With Britain facing staunch opposition to a deal giving it flexibility on immigration, Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond may be ready to accept that his country may have to give up single-market access, including U.K. banks' ability to work with clients on the continent, two officials familiar with his thinking said last week.
Qualified Majority
The eventual Brexit deal must be passed by a qualified majority of 72 percent of the remaining states -- or at least 20 -- that represent 65 percent of the bloc's population of just over a billion people. It must also win a simple majority vote in EU parliament, according to the European Commission.
Meanwhile, the U.K. is losing its appeal for Poles seeking to work abroad. About 41,000 Poles moved to Germany in 2015, the fourth consecutive year that Poland's neighbor has been a bigger draw of Polish workers than Britain, according to calculations based on data from Poland's statistical office.
Almost two thirds of Poles, a country of 38 million, and 70 percent of Czechs see the free movement of people, goods and services within the EU as the most important positive result of the bloc, according to a Eurobarometer poll published in 2015. That compared with an average 57 percent for all 28 members.

A Beaches businessman is starting legal action against front-running mayoral candidate Rob Ford over Mr. Ford's allegations of corrupt dealings with city hall.
George Foulidis, owner of the Boardwalk Pub on Lakeshore Boulevard, says that Mr. Ford damaged his reputation when Mr. Ford criticized a sole-sourced deal between Mr. Foulidis and the city to extend the pub's lease to 2028.
Last month Mr. Ford was quoted as saying the deal "stinks to high heaven." When Mayor David Miller called that an irresponsible smear, Mr. Ford released a statement on his website saying: "I think it's corruption, Mayor Miller doesn't."
Mr. Foulidis says the deal extending his lease was a fair one negotiated with city officials. He said he had no say in the city's decision not to have others bid for the right to run the concession at Woodbine Beach. He admitted contributing to a previous re-election campaign of local councillor Sandra Bussin but said he was merely exercising his democratic right, not underhanded influence.
He claimed that Mr. Ford was playing politics by alleging corruption. Mr. Ford has made fighting waste at city hall the centrepiece of his campaign.
"He has no evidence," said Mr. Foulidis, "and it's just political posturing."
Fraser Macdonald, a spokesman for Mr. Ford's campaign team, said they haven't received a statement of claim, and don't yet have a response to Mr. Foulidis's comments.
"We're going to wait for our legal counsel to receive anything," he said. "We're waiting and listening to see what's in the statement of claim."Report Typo/Error
