Last season there were seven eastern conference teams between 86 and 94 points. As I write this there are seven eastern conference teams within one game of .500 hockey and another nine in the western conference. That is the kind of parity the NHL seems to have been striving for with the new CBA, salary cap and all. But is it good for hockey? Is it good for promoting the sport?
Of the major North American team sports the NFL is probably tops followed by MLB, the NBA and finally hockey. The NFL is kind of a unique entity in that they only play 16 games and that it is gains a lot of popularity because of sports betting (even just casual betting between friends) but parity is anything but real in the NFL. Over the past 4 1/2 seasons the New England Patriots (past 4 plus the current one) the New England Patriots are 59-14 and the Indianapolis Colts are 57-15. Those two teams have won 3 of the last 4 Superbowls and have been the dominant teams in the league. The New England-Indianapolis game a couple weeks ago generated huge media attention and fan interest and football fans of all kinds tuned in to watch. I even found myself, who rarely watches football, tuning in to see what the excitement was all about.
Then there is MLB where it is thoroughly dominated by the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. These two teams and its rivalry have dominated the MLB landscape for years and people get excited about Red Sox-Yankees games and playoff series. Fans of other teams can use playing against these two teams as a measuring stick of how good their team is. It's a challenge to compete with these two but when teams do people get excited. People enjoy the David vs Goliath stories. Now one could argue that the Yankees-Red Sox dominance is a bit too lop-sided in baseball but it is hard to argue that that rivalry and having those two teams being a standard in baseball is not good for baseball. The love-em or hate-em attitude that fans have towards the Yankees and Red Sox keeps fan interest alive.
Once upon a time the NBA was the fastest growing sport and in the mid-1990's may have even been the top team sport in North America. The reason was not parity but because of the Chicago Bulls dominance. Michael Jordan was the biggest sports star on the planet and the Bulls won six of 8 championships between 1991 and 1998. As the Chicago Bulls dominance faded, the LA Lakers dominance rose and they won three straight championships from 2000 to 2002. While the NBA is still a popular entity it has lost some lustre over the past several seasons and I believe a part of that is because there is no one dominant team or player.
And that brings us to the NHL. Most hockey fans, even the casual ones, remember the Colorado-Detroit rivalry of the 1990's and into the early 2000's. When those two teams played fans watched. Those games were intense even if they were played in November and only meant 2 points in the standings and those teams were all but a certainty to make the playoffs regardless of who got the 2 points. They were intense. They were hard hitting. In the standings they didn't mean much, but for the pride of each franchise they meant a lot. They were measuring stick games. When teams played the Wings and Avalanche those games were viewed as measuring stick games. They were games to watch. Not surprisingly, those years were the years when the NHL had their best U.S. national TV contract and probably the most consistent fan interest and media coverage.
The NHL now has parity. The 2006 NHL Stanley Cup champion missed the playoffs in 2007 as did the NHL runner up. The 2007 Stanley Cup champion is currently floundering two games under .500. The big media markets of Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles all saw their teams miss the playoffs last year and despite having a real good team, fan interest in Detroit has waned probably in part due to the fact they really don't have a big time rival anymore with Colorado missing the playoffs last year and long time rivals Chicago and St. Louis sucking big time the past few (or more in Chicago's case) years.
The NHL has tried to create rivalries since the lockout by having each team play their division rival 8 times which seemed to have back fired and resulted in over-saturation. It is difficult to generate a rivalry from 8 relatively non-important games between average teams. Rivalries are created between good teams or through playoff battles but while the NHL promoted divisional games in the regular season they missed the boat by promoting a conference style playoff system. There was a time when teams frequently played the same teams in the playoffs over a number of years but that is not the case anymore. Ottawa-Toronto faced each other in 4 of 5 seasons and Edmonton-Dallas faced each other something like 5 consecutive times. Those Edmonton-Dallas series made Edmonton-Dallas regular season games seem just a little bit more interesting than they probably would have otherwise. That doesn't happen much anymore. Last year featured only two playoff series which also occurred during the 2006 playoffs. Those series were San Jose-Nashville and Ottawa-Buffalo. The San Jose-Nashville series were generally uninteresting and fairly easy San Jose wins so they probably didn't generate much of a rivalry but now that parity has hit and Nashville is no longer a good team, and rivalry would have lost its lustre anyway. The Ottawa-Buffalo series did create a bit of a heated rivalry that did generate some regular season game interest but once again the NHL's parity plan hit the Sabres in the face and now they currently sit out of a playoff spot and no longer do the Sens-Sabres games feature two dominant offensive powerhouse teams.
Who knows, maybe a couple of dominant teams will rise up and some key rivalries will create some league-wide excitement like the Wing-Avalanche did in the late 1990's but in the new salary cap era I have my doubts and that is going to keep fan interest low. Fans just do not get excited about mediocrity.

Statins Damage Liver, Kidneys, Eyes, & Muscles
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 statin fraud continues to rage on as one of the greatest health frauds ever perpetrated on gullible human beings. The latest study, published on the British Medical Journal website, followed over 2 million British statin takers for a number of years. The data clearly shows that statin use caused liver failure, kidney failure, muscle failure, and cataracts.
The higher the dose, as is typically pushed on patients to lower their numbers to abnormally low levels of LDL, the greater the liver failure. Possibly, one day, the intelligence-challenged Big Pharma pill pushers will realize the liver oftentimes makes extra cholesterol so as to defend itself from the onslaught of too many calories. It isn't the least bit surprising to see that when the liver can't defend itself due to the use of the statin drug, then the liver fails. Long before liver failure is serious liver malfunction and dramatically handicapped quality of health, which wasn't measured in this study but rest assured, the rates of such problems are extremely high in statin takers.
Slanted statin studies often try to make wild false claims for statin benefits – like being able to reduce inflammation. To the contrary, the dramatic increase in cataracts in statin takers prove that statins are highly inflammatory and produce massive amounts of free radical damage (which is how cataracts form).
In the face of this new data cardiologists stick to their PR line that the benefits outweigh the risks. I can never figure out how they arrive at such a ridiculous conclusion. Would any cardiologist out there care to explain how damaging the liver and kidneys improves cardiovascular health?

A Commitment to Academic Excellence and Student Achievement
The Keene State College Academic Plan (PDF) — 2009-2014 (approved 10-6-09)
Executive Summary (PDF)
This academic plan outlines the multi-dimensional efforts of Keene State College and the Division of Academic Affairs to achieve academic excellence. It comes at a time in history when it will not be enough for educational institutions to be known for the physical attributes of their campus or community, or the measures of the many inputs that historically have equated with status in the educational pecking order. Our stakeholders—students, parent, community, system and legislators—are demanding evidence of real educational outcomes, which are captured best in one overarching College strategic goal—achieving academic excellence. The institutions that rise to this new challenge will succeed and prosper, while those that do not will languish. While the Division of Academic Affairs at Keene State College has primary responsibility for meeting this challenge, our success will depend on the creative energies and hard work of the entire College community.
This plan has been developed, as it must be, in the context of our College strategic goals. While there are five strategic goals in all, there is really only one goal—To significantly enhance and become recognized for the quality of our academic programs and the academic achievements of our students—and four goals that provide a roadmap for how to achieve the first overarching goal. This Academic Plan is not a long listing of specific, often relatively minor, action steps, responsible parties and timelines crafted with a check-list of success mind set. Nor is it a short list of two or three priorities that ignore or delay many which need urgent attention.
Instead, the Academic Plan, built on the foundation of the Keene State College Strategic Plan, is a call to action of the entire College community. In this plan we ask important questions, highlight important work in progress, and point out critical needs for innovation and continued improvement and refinement. One of the Fundamental Questions framed in regard to Strategic Goal 2: Communication and Community is "How do we reaffirm that the pursuit of academic excellence is the driving motivator for all units across the campus community?" That is the key question. As you read this document we hope you will be come to agree with the community of authors that we are in the midst of a transformation of the academic culture and reputation of the College. We are at a tipping point. Now is the time for all members of the College community to apply their energies and imagination to the work that ultimately achieves academic excellence.
When Keene State College does its work well, it draws the College and larger community into discussions like those characteristic of New England Town Hall meetings. Collaboration and open communication mark the conversations that have helped to move the College into its significant transformative moment. As we harness transitions that are now well underway, it will be best to continue to employ the practices of a collaborative community to create an even stronger College. As the Academic Plan delineates the details of the pursuit of academic excellence at this public liberal arts college, it defines our mission in the promotion of academic excellence as demonstrated by a commitment to diversity and multiculturalism and to opportunities that help students become responsible global citizens. We are convinced that the integrity of both process and principles will help us to achieve our goals.
We intend that this Academic Plan will capture in its 22 pages the richness and complexity of the challenges and the excitement of the opportunities facing every member of this college community. We hope that as members of our community develop new ideas for improving the College, this plan will become both an inspiration and a central framework for their thinking and for our dialogue. This is a living document, so let the dialog begin.
Highlights of the Plan:
Improve academic quality through ongoing curriculum development, implementation of new pedagogies, commitment to outcomes based learning, continued integration of technology, support for undergraduate research and creative work and a commitment to diversity and multiculturalism that will prepare students for a life and career rich in meaning.
Communicate mission and values and build community through leadership development, team building, and presentation of our work and achievements in local, regional and national venues with a goal of becoming a national exemplar.
Invest in faculty and staff by exploring the balance among faculty teaching, scholarship and service and providing what is necessary to advance these efforts; support teaching and learning through the Center for Engagement, Learning and Teaching and appropriate professional development opportunities; clearly define the role of professional and operating staff in the educational process and provide support and training to promote this role.
Promote learning that leads to engaged citizenship by supporting student learning using curricular and co-curricular activities that engage students in their own learning, increasing opportunities and support for national and international experiences, service learning and other experiential learning.
Promote access and affordability by attracting and retaining promising students, improving services to students with disabilities, partnering to identify and garner new resources and contributing to the economic development of our region and state through outreach and partnerships consistent with our mission and resources.
This list of highlights is intended to provide a sense of the challenges, opportunities and work in progress that are explored in greater detail in the body of the Academic Plan. The status of the various goals and regular updates can be found on the Academic Affairs web site.

New Jeep Owner
I bought this Jeep cause of a Divorce... I had owned a 2010 Acura TL Tech package. But could not afford it after the divorce. My kids a 3yr old and 5 yr old said they like the jeep and since I really liked it too, I decided to trade in the TL on a 2007 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. Really nice Jeep. Fun to drive and the ride is pretty nice for a Jeep. But miss all the gadgets on my Acura TL... I'm looking to do a little off-roading with the Jeep and maybe get a little crazier once I buy another vehicle for a daily driver.
Does anyone know of a good place to do some 4 wheeling outside of Philly area? My Jeep is stock for now... So nothing to crazy.
Thanks and hope to hear from you guys...:action-smiley:
Welcome from Texas!!:wavey:
Thanks! This forum is really helpful...

my little one has been diagnosed with henoch-schonlein purpura, with a slight rash on his ankles and upper thigh on the 8th. we visited the doctor the next day and the rash started to fade and there was no progression. on the 12th, he was put on an antibiotic for a possible upper respiratory infection. on the 15th, his rash exploded. on the 19th, we took him off the antibiotics. on the 20th, we sought the help on a ND and he was put on Zinc, Vitamin A, and Histamine and put on an elimination diet (elimination possible mucus forming foods). On the 23rd, the DF Bifidus came in and we also started giving him Arnica for his inflammation of joints.
He has had noticeably swollen ankles at times, since 15th. He is unable to walk by the end of the each day. Last night, he also had painful gas. Right now, joint pain complaints are in the ankles and knees and abdominal discomfort continued this morning. The outbreaks are less and smaller, but are still continuing which concerns me. He is also not eating well and refused his remedies at lunch and bedtime, aside from the Arnica.
I am wondering about the natural remedies that my little one is taking for treating HSP : Zinc, Vitamin A, Histamine, DF Bifidus, Arnica. Could he be allergic to any of these? Could one or the combination allow for the rash to still be continuing and/or discomfort to be increasing? Did introducing Bifidus later into the regimen, allow for the rash to continue? Is the Histamine the right thing to be taking? Conventional medical sites say to take an anti-histamine and I have read the Histamine causes inflammation? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Goodness, you and your little one have been through a lot with all that you describe. It is difficult for me to comment on someone's care when I am not seeing them as a patient, because I do not have the full history, physical exam, and lab information I need to make specific treatment recommendations. I would suggest talking with your ND about the concerns you have. It is always possible that someone can have a reaction to any supplement or pharmaceutical, though the symptoms you describe are consistent with the diagnosis of Henoch-schonlein purpura. I would recommend you stay in close communication with both your ND and MD so that you can let them know how your little one is doing. They are best situated to make treatment recommendations and changes.
Light and healing to you all,
Dr. Jennifer

my little one was one day free of breakouts and then for the last few days we have had new breakouts again, accompanied with joint pain. we have had over 3 weeks with reoccurrance of the rash breaking out, accompanied by swollen joints, joint pain and a few days of abdominal pain.

The McDonald's corporation exists to make money, make money for its stockholders, make money for its executives, and make much less money for those who actually do the work of preparing and selling food to customers. The McDonald's corporation has created a website to assist its employees. After all, they make $7.45 an hour which translates into about $300 a week which translates into about $1200 a month which translates into about $14,500 a year. Certainly, for someone who watches their pennies and eats gobs of pasta that should be sufficient to enjoy the good life. However, this is McDonald's corporation which is concerned with the health of those who work behind the counter and thus a special website has been created to assist its workers in eating healthy in order to become wealthy and wise.
The McResource program urges McDonald's workers to continue working at this establishment,but to avoid eating the food sold in it. In particular, workers are urged to avoid eating their famous cheeseburger and go to stores which sell health foods. Oh well, someone at headquarters finally realized such advice from a McDonald's website is not the best advertisement to the public and it has now been shut down.
So,Big Mac employees, make them, but never eat them. I suspect the garbage dump offers healthier foods for those who sell unhealthy foods.

The law in England and Wales is divided into criminal law and civil law. Criminal law mostly involves the rules laid down by the state for citizens, while civil law governs the relationships and transactions between citizens.
Most minor criminal cases, called summary offences, are heard in local magistrates' courts. Magistrates' courts also house family proceedings courts and the youth courts. The most serious offences, called indictable-only offences, are passed on by the magistrates' courts to the Crown Court to be heard. Only Crown Court judges have the power to pass sentences above a certain level of severity, and so some cases may be transferred from magistrates' courts for sentencing once a verdict has been reached.
The High Court sits at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, as well as at some major court centres around the country. The work is handled by three divisions, depending on its subject:
a) Chancery Division: equity, trusts, tax, bankruptcy
b) Queen's Bench Division: contract, tort, commercial matters
c) Family Division: divorce, children, probate.
The Court of Appeal also sits at the Royal Courts of Justice. The Criminal Division hears appeals from Crown Court cases, while the Civil Division receives appeals from the High Court, tribunals and, in certain cases, county courts.
|The Middlesex Guildhall in London
is the location of the Supreme Court
Administrative law cases are mostly heard in tribunals specific to the subject, while civil and criminal cases are heard in the main court system.

good luck anyway - I think you are certainly due something and hope you get it. The Act used to claim goods in lieu of rent is the Torts interference with goods act - google it. Notification must be given of intent to sell. In my experience it is always good to speak to a solicitor with some knowledge of what you think the law says! Keep us informed and once again very best wishes
Am waiting for a Solicitor to return my call of yesterday to hopefully progress matters. I will of course let you know what happens, I am not overly hopeful as the Site Owner has far more resources than me.
Just wanted to say thanks for your posts on my thread. Very much appreciated and I will be taking your advice

What does a traffic jam on Toronto's Gardiner Expressway have in common with Amazon.com's seemingly magical product referral engines? They're both the province of Big Data, the explosion of information that businesses are racing to capitalize on. Simon Houpt asked Tim McGuire, the head of McKinsey & Company's Consumer Marketing Analytics Centre, why we've all turned into data geeks.
Do you have a small definition of Big Data? Let me give it a try. It's the use of massive sets of data—typically transaction data, motivation data, environmental data, social data—to make better business decisions.
We're talking about data that couldn't have been captured before, right? Absolutely. Social media interactions are probably the best example: There was no way for a company to get any insight in the past on what an individual customer was saying to his or her friends about their experience with a company they'd dealt with. And now, through social media mining techniques, you can go out and look for the positive buzz and the negative buzz. If you've got the right capability to mine that information, it truly is a gold mine.
Is that why everyone seems to be talking about Big Data now? We've hit three tipping points all at once. The first is data availability: The sheer amount of data [being collected]gives companies far more insight and information than they've ever had in the past. The second piece is the ability to actually do something with that data: A massive pile of data without the right analytics is just a massive pile of data. It needs to be turned into real insights about consumer behaviour to change the way a company makes decisions.
And the third? It's the competitive pressure. In particular, you see this through the emergence of the pure play—what I'd call analytically-built companies. Amazon would be a perfect example. They're built around an analytic engine, and they use that analytic engine to drive their business in every way.
Yeah, they always seem to know what I want, though I'm not much of a shopper. How about you? Oh, I'm a fanatic shopper. My wife refuses to go grocery shopping with me because I spend too much time looking for new products, looking for new ideas, trying samples. If I had my choice, I'd retire and become a personal shopper.
Should non-fanatic shoppers care about Big Data? There's a wonderful opportunity for companies to make people's lives better. The traffic reports of the world will soon no longer be delivered by someone flying in a helicopter. GPS signals in cellphones provide a far more reliable source of information. Imagine I sent you an alert on your cellphone that say"Gardiner blocked, use this route instead"—that would be a wonderful service. We need to look for opportunities where consumers can get benefits out of sharing information.
What about privacy concerns? Companies clearly need to be very, very careful and appropriate about managing all the privacy issues, handling data appropriately, ensuring there are no breaches. We should be both self-regulating and government regulated to make sure things don't cross the line.
So you believe there's a role for government? Absolutely. This is frankly too important, for all of us, to mess it up. Because if we screw it up, consumers are going to take away the right for companies to use that data. Then we all lose. Companies lose, governments lose, and consumers lose.Report Typo/Error

Census data stranger than fiction
A 200th anniversary study of Britain's census data has thrown up some uncanny links between fiction and reality.
In 1871 London boasted a real life Albert Square - but it was a haunt of "prostitutes, sailors and brothel keepers" that makes the soap square look positively genteel.
In 1861 Mrs E. Sharples was a cotton mill worker living at 2 Coronation Street in Manchester.
There was a Rover's Return beerhouse, too - but in a different part of Manchester.
"I don't think the show's creator Tony Warren had any of this in mind when he was writing the first shows in 1960," he said.
London's Albert Square - long-demolished - was close to the Shadwell basin in East London.
The census of 1871 shows that about 60 of the residents were "fallen women" and five of its 16 houses were actually brothels.
'Rough neighbourhood'
There was no Queen Vic pub - but there was a Victoria Lodge which was home to eight prostitutes and a couple of sailors.
Genealogist Audrey Collins, who carried out the research for census-takers the Office of National Statistics, described the place a "a bit of a rough neighbourhood".
"Phil Mitchell may not have been shot in the 19th century Albert Square but I think he stood a good chance of being stabbed."
Researchers from the ONS are making preparations for the latest ten-yearly census, due to start on 29 April.
The first British census took place in 1801, in part because of concerns about demographer Thomas Malthus' theories, which suggested that Britain's population might outstrip its food supply.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
As part of The Wildlife Resources Division's (WRD) goal to maintain a quality deer herd in Georgia, estimates of the state's deer harvest, deer hunter effort, and deer hunter success are acquired each year and then used to inform development of hunting regulations in subsequent years to facilitate meeting desired management objectives.
The question often comes up, "How does WRD get these estimates?" Since at least 1962, WRD has used scientifically valid, survey methodology to get estimates of not only deer harvest, but also harvest estimates of other game species. Harvest estimates are obtained by asking a random sample of approximately 2,500 licensed Georgia deer hunters about their deer hunting effort and success during the most recent deer season. These results are then applied to the total number of deer hunters in the state. The total number of deer hunters in the state is obtained from the hunting license database. The 2,500 hunter sample size is more than adequate, statistically, to produce precise estimates of statewide harvest, effort, and success.
Another question commonly asked is, "Who conducts Georgia's annual hunter harvest survey?" WRD contracts with public opinion research firms that specialize in natural resource issues. Since 2004, WRD has contracted with Responsive Management, a professionally recognized research firm and neutral third party, to conduct the survey each year. WRD and Responsive Management work together to develop a scientific survey questionnaire and to generate a random a sample of hunting license holders from the license sales database. Responsive Management then administers the survey (by telephone) to this random sample of hunters, statistically analyzes the results, and provides a survey report to WRD.
The survey is made up of several questions pertaining to the recent hunting season, such as number of deer killed, sex of deer killed, county where deer were killed, number of days hunted, and other pertinent questions. Statistical parameter estimates for these data are calculated and applied to the entire deer hunter population to generate statewide and physiographic region estimates.
The survey also is used to ask timely and important questions regarding hunter opinions on hunting and conservation-related issues. The results of these attitude and opinion questions (social science) are often used to scientifically evaluate support or opposition for a particular issue or proposal and also to help inform changes in state hunting regulations.
Another commonly asked question is, "Why isn't every hunter surveyed?" As mentioned above, a random sample of hunting license holders is generated from the license database. Each hunter has approximately a 1 in a 100 chance of being a part of the survey each year. Like all other scientific surveys, only a relatively small sample is needed to generate statistically valid estimates within accepted standard deviations. Surveys and sample sizes are designed to produce statistically reliable and economically affordable results at the statewide and physiographic region level. This level of management effort allows WRD to produce scientifically sound and defendable estimates of deer harvest and hunter success at the most practical management level.
Technical assistance is available from any WRD wildlife biologist for interested groups and individuals desiring to better manage the deer herd on their property. Biologists may be reached by contacting the appropriate Game Management Section regional office for a particular county.

Pillow Doubles As Alarm Clock
Textile embedded with electrodes is able to track brainwaves and sleep patterns to help users get a better sleep.
Sony is proposing a high-tech pillow that could help users to wake up feeling more refreshed. The bedding textile is embedded with a small actigraph unit that can monitor the sleep patterns of the user. Actigraphy is a non-invasive method that is able to continually record movements and detect if the user is in REM sleep or awake.
Sony's pillow will allow users to set the alarm and be gently woken up at an optimal time. Traditional alarm clocks sometimes wake the person up when they're in deep sleep, which results in them getting up feeling groggy and tired. The patented pillow is able to track brainwaves and ensures that the person is being woken up when they leave REM sleep.
The patent states that:
The present application relates to a sleep aid device and method, program and recording medium, and more particularly, to a sleep aid device and method, program and recording medium for having a short sleep efficiently.

Cincinnati Scientologists Kick Off School Year with an Anti-Drug Message
Reaching out to parents and students with the truth about drugs
Volunteers from the Church of Scientology of Cincinnati set up a booth in the heart of the city at Fountain Square to reach returning students and their parents with factual information about drugs and drug abuse.
While clips from the award-winning documentary, Truth About Drugs—Real People, Real Stories, played on the Square's big screen TV, volunteers distributed copies of The Truth About Drugs booklets and met and spoke with parents and children, answering questions throughout the afternoon.
Drug abuse continues as a severe problem in Ohio. The state attorney general announced in August that twice as many meth labs [8] have been found this year as in 2011.
Teen drug and alcohol abuse is also a cause of concern. This year's Partnership for a Drug-Free America Attitude Tracking Study [9] found one in four teens has misused or abused a prescription drug at least once.
According to a 2011 study by the U.S. Department and Health and Human Services Office of Adolescent Health, 24 percent of Ohio 9-12th-graders [10] had recently had five or more drinks one after another, 21 percent had recently ridden in a car with a driver who had been drinking alcohol, and 47 percent have experimented at least once with marijuana.
Scientologists on five continents work in their communities throughout the year to empower others with the truth about drugs. The Church and its members are dedicated to eradicating drug abuse through education.
The Church of Scientology supports The Truth About Drugs initiative, one of the world's largest nongovernmental drug education and prevention campaigns and makes these materials available free of charge to educators, law enforcement and community programs.
It has been conclusively proven that when young people are provided with the truth about drugs—factual information on what drugs are and what they do—usage rates drop commensurately.
The Church of Scientology has published a brochure, Scientology: How We Help—The Truth About Drugs, Creating a Drug-Free World, to meet requests for more information about the drug education and prevention initiative it supports. To learn more or read the brochure, visit the Scientology website [11].
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "The planet has hit a barrier which prevents any widespread social progress—drugs and other biochemical substances. These can put people into a condition which not only prohibits and destroys physical health but which can prevent any stable advancement in mental or spiritual well-being."

What should I do if my cats wound has healed but has left the skin yellowish? (Almost looking bruised)
My 2 year old cat has been attacked a lot recently by another cat/ maybe even a fox? Two months ago he had a wound on his right side, the vet had to stitch it up. However two weeks ago he got a similar wound on his left side but was not as big in size as the previous. It has mostly healed now but he has been left with a scar and still some scab to heal. The part that has healed has now turned the skin a yellowish bruising colour, is this normal? And what can I do to help him as he flinches if he bashes it or something/someone touches that yellow area. He has tried to scratch and bite at it despite him having an Elizabethan collar on.
How can I help him and what is wrong with him?
Thank you x

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Hi Leah, it sounds like a bruise. There is healing ointment available such as Dermasol; coat the area with it to make him feel better. It will leave the fur yellowish, that's okay. Call the vet and ask how long he has to wear the collar and when can you make a recheck appointment. There are fabric and blow-up collars that are less annoying to the pet than a traditional plastic "cone". There is a chance he has a fungus or worms that can be determined with a fecal and skin scraping. Make your cat inside-only if you want to protect him from the local bruiser cats... it sounds like he wouldn't mind at all! ^_^

Yikes, that's to close for comfort. I am out of here.
I was playing golf yesterday afternoon, and we were all standing aroud on the tee box waiting for the green to clear below us (par 3). There was a building just off the course under construction and we were watching the guys lug cement. (Happy to be golfing instead)
Suddenly, there was a rapid volly of 4-5 shots, a pause, 2 more, pause 2 more. LOUD! I knew they sounded like gunshots, but we were tornetween gunshots, and a nail gun, since the construction was right there. It was over in maybe 5 seconds, as many as 9 shots.
15 minutes later, there are a swarm of police and news choppers right over the golf course...
Well, I got the news this morning... Double-Homicide, drug-related, in the front lawn, of a nicer subdivision (night-time-gated), in CLERMONT, FL. This is a nice middle-class/upper-mddle-class neighborhood in a very quiet, very safe area half an hour outside Orlando. I looked the address up on mapquest, and it happened witin 50-100yds of the tee box we were standing on. It was the far side of the house from where we were, so no stray bullets came our way, but it was pretty wild.
I was thinking about it... there was a pretty good chance that the guy who did the shooting could have decided to hop the fence in the back and cross the golf course. He would have been right on top of us.
I normally stash my pistol in the car when I play golf (hell, where is safer than a golf course????), but yesterday, I was carrying my KelTec, in my thigh pocket. I tossed it in the side pocket of my golf bag with my wallet on the first tee...
I guess you'll never know where you may need it.
I assumed it was a gun, then shrugged it off. We made jokes about some guy shooting his wife for changing the channel while he was watching the Masters.... WHAT IF THE GUY CAME ONTO THE COURSE? What would you have done?
Yikes, that's to close for comfort. I am out of here.
Damn! Now we've got ANOTHER golf hazard to deal with!!!!
I was playing golf last year in a scramble outing. We heard multiple gunshots close by. The hole we were playing was on a property line and bordered a wooded area divided by a stream. All of a sudden, the next volley of shots sounded closer, a lot closer. A second thought in my head told me that the shooters seemed to switch from 38 to 357 rounds and the frequency, 6 shots, pause, 6 shots...made it seem like target practice. I had a Bersa 380 in my bag at the time and I got it out and put it in my belt. We never did see anyone shooting but we played that hole in record time and moved on.
As an aside, I rented a 4 bdrm. 3 bath house in outside of Orlando in February, in a gated community, I think in Clermont. I often do this with my family of 5 because it's actually less expensive than Disney Hotels and we have a heated pool and hot tub all our own. It's hard to imagine a drug related killing there but in this day and age, anything can happen. Guess I'll pack a weapon for my next trip and stay there.
I almost got shot hunting once. We were walking a ridge line and some idiots down a hill decided it was fun to toss a bottle in the air and try to shoot it .... with rifles! When the bullet whizzed by, we hit the dirt and crawled out of there. I was technically armed, but never thought of returning fire.
Yet another reason why I don't hunt any more.
Similar to Todd here.
I was still hunting up behind the house. Saw movemnt and looked up to see a buck just over the rise. Then the shot (not mine). I dropped. Took a few seconds and got up. walked toward the spot........and found my brother (didn't know he was hunting there) searching for blood sign.
i still hunt though.
What I want to know is if you slice your tee shot because this guy startles you mid swing, Do you take a mulligan, or are you forced to play where it lies?
As for what I would do if he ran out onto the fairway shooting, I'd yell "FORE" and blast him.
Ok, I'm kidding, I wouldn't just start throwing lead. He didn't attack me, and the cops were already there. Let them handle it. I will admit however, that I would not be able to resist the urge to drive every golf ball I could find at him. Speaking of which, if I did manage to bean him with a golf ball, can I take a few strokes off my score? Or better yet, a free round of golf, like when you hit the clown in the mouth at the mini golf place.
That is really intense! Ya just never know what in the hell is gonna happen next. Another reason to carry just in case you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Did they nab the shooter yet?
I was duck hunting in Alaska once with two friends. Two of us were dropped on a little island and the other was out in a boat. Evidently our boat friend lost track of us because everytime he shot we had to duck (No pun intended) becuase we had incoming lead shot raining on us.
~ it's Orlando, what do you expect. I was born & raise down there...the whole city has went straight to hell. It's why I moved .
there's a LARGE amount of crime all through Cental Florida ...
you name it... it's Miami's sister city now.
Right now their trying to determine if the "shooter" also ended up the "shootee", and was found on the lawn... The guy he shot shot back... You know the police and the media...
The police is saying nothing, and the media is speculating everything... and putting it on the air with "credible sources"...
Looking for an update now...
They are seeking a "person of interest" who drives an Impala with 20" rims... Eugenio Spitalieri, 21... and the article contained a January 2008 Mugshot... Go figure.
Two dead, 17, and 24... what a shame.
The closest I have been was sitting in my dorm room one night, and less than a block away a "gentleman" who had just gotten out of jail went to his ex-girlfriends place and held a gun to her head. Then he ran outside and fired a few random shots at the house. We were able to hear the shots loud and clear.
The guy then disappeared until he was found in North Carolina. The shooting happened in northwest Iowa.
From your original discription it sounds like who ever the shooter was made sure they were dead. Flurry of shots followed by two sets of double taps.....most likely to the head of each victum. My guess would be he set up a fake sale and then took the money and made damn sure they weren't gonna come looking for it back! A good illustration as to why selling drugs is a bad way to make a living even if you think you can out smart the LEO's
Good analysis... From the shots, I'd guess more likely: 4 in the first guy, 2 in the next guy, then two more to the second guy. Grab the cash, the drugs, and bail...
7 in the mag, one in the pipe.
No more bullets... time to fly...
But that would be putting a 1911 in the hands of a 21 year old thug?
If it were 5+2+2 then it could be a Ruger .45 ACP or a few others???? All conjecture! It could just as easily have been a high cap 9. He finished what he set out to do and left.......
Cold as HELL anyway you look at it!

Dad With Alzheimer's Regains Speech When He's With Family's Dog [Video]
This video is beautiful and gives us one more reason to love our dogs.
Lisa Abeyta's father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's almost five years ago. In the last several months, Charles Sasser has started to lose almost all of his speech as well…except when he's in the company of Lisa's dog, Roscoe. When the two are together, Charles can speak in whole sentences and with a clarity that surprises his family.
Wanting to save the special moments, Lisa filmed part of an hour long exchange between Dad and dog, and with some help from her son, the footage was edited and uploaded to YouTube. Her intention was to help her mom share their small miracle with friends and family, but since its' debut on Reddit and YouTube, the video has been seen by tens of thousands of people all over the world. "I'm touched by the response to the video…They talk about how having a pet or connecting with music really gave them back a loved one with Alzheimer's." Lisa told ABC News. "It's been quite an amazing thing to hear people's stories."
Please CLICK HERE for Lisa's blog "About The Video of My Father and Our Dog."
I spent several weeks recuperating after a serious car accident last summer and Spartacus, Heifer, Beeko and Dozer would not leave my side unless they were made to go outside. I felt better with Spart in my lap and called him my little hot water bottle.
Has a family pet helped you get through an illness or a difficult time?
The video is simply called "My Dad With Our Dog." Grab a kleenex for happy tears.

I'd been wondering if the holiday mood of Milan would head underground for Paris fashion week (PFW), but Lacroix's spring 2013 opening of a sunshine yellow jacket kept the sun shining for day 1. T-shirt prints names after Rio, Venice Beach, Coney Island had a peppy 80s postcard vibe, on occasion paired with graphic print pants. But this mood of printed tees with rolled up sleeves was more often matched by tailoring that had a Parisian formality.
Still there was a sense that Lacroix wanted to strip things back to a simple, often quite sporty, level. Surf jackts, windbreakers, and parkas were a replacement for more structured forms of outerwear; but that in no way preculded a set of tailored looks that were holidaying with elegance.

Tort Reform: Fighting Back for Consumers
This is part three of a three-part series. Part one and part two appeared previously this week.
When Ronald Sanders' wife died of brain damage in a hospital in 2005, he sued neurologist Iftekhar Ahmed. The doctor had ordered Depakote, an anti-seizure medicine, for her but failed to order any blood tests. Sanders went into a coma because the drug's side effects caused her brain cells to die.
At the end of the medical malpractice trial, the jury awarded Sanders and his daughters money to pay back medical bills plus $9.2 million in non-economic damages.
There was just one problem: a state law that caps the non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits. That statute cut down Sanders' $9.2 non-economic awards to $1.2 million. Sanders appealed and the case was heard by the Missouri Supreme Court on Nov. 2.
Sanders argues that the legislature's cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits violates the Missouri Constitution, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. The legislature first imposed limits on non-economic damage awards in an effort to hold down the rise in medical malpractice insurance rates.
Unless the state supreme court restores the will of the jury, it will be another example of how tort reform has throttled the authority of juries and taken away a legal award won by a consumer in court.
Chipping away at consumer rights
Consumer advocacy groups and a handful of other organizations are struggling to reverse the tide in favor of tort reform, which has chipped away at consumer rights to file a medical malpractice or defective drug lawsuit. Consumer groups face highly-organized associations of corporations that have achieved major results in limiting your access to get into court, restricting the types of claims you can assert and capping the recoveries you can obtain.
At the federal level, an example of pro-consumer legislation is the Arbitration Fairness Act. The proposed law would turn back the clock on forced arbitration agreements making such arrangements illegal. This would protect the Seventh Amendment rights of consumers and non-union employees, allowing these parties to access the courts should a legal dispute arise with a company.
Democratic Senator Al Franken sponsored the bill. He has received a significant amount of funding from organizations that traditionally support consumer rights. For example, from 2007 to the present, he has received more than $1.3 million from lawyers and law firms. In that same time frame, he has received nearly $1 million from associations which represent retired Americans and is another group that aggressively advocates against such tort reforms as limits on medical malpractice awards.
In addition, groups like Public Citizen and the American Association of Justice have urged Congress to look at proposing additional legislation to restore the rights of consumers.
"We've tried to get legislation introduced that would roll back nursing home arbitration agreements, but nothing is moving through the Congress," says Gary M. Paul, president of the American Association of Justice. "With the leadership that exists in the House right now, it's an anti-consumer situation. It's a deadlock."
Although consumers' rights may be dwindling, they can still have their opinions heard. Paul recommends consumers reach out to their members of Congress and voice their concerns.
"If citizens want their rights protected, such as a trial by jury, they have got to rise up and let their elected officials know," he says. "It's amazing how often elected officials have no idea what their constituents want."
An uphill battle for consumer rights
However, consumers face an uphill battle, not just on the federal front but within the states as well. For example, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker ordered the state legislature into a special session recently to consider legislation that will promote job creation. However, consumer-rights advocates revealed the legislation has little to do with improving employment and everything to do with shielding pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers from lawsuits — by taking away consumers' access to the courts.
Introduced by Republican state Senator Rich Zipperer, Senate Bill 13 protects drug makers and medical device manufacturers from liability caused by defects in their products as long as the product was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In essence, the tort reform measure removes any responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure the safety of its products and misplaces it on a government agency. Further, if the FDA fails to identify a harmful side effect or a design flaw, citizens who are injured will not be able to successfully sue the manufacturer in state court.
As exemplified by S.B. 13, one of the hottest areas for tort reform is medical malpractice. In this case, one well-funded representative is trying to pass a piece of legislation that has the potential to leave consumers virtually powerless against the leading businesses in the health care industry, from doctors and hospitals to drug companies and nursing homes.
According to the 2010 campaign finance summary of Wisconsin state Sen. Zipperer, some of his largest contributors were the health industry with $13,321 and the insurance industry with $6,822, totaling more than $20,000. This amount represented about 23.5 percent of total donor dollars he received for that cycle.
Sen. Zipperer did not respond after repeated requests for comment.
What you can do about tort reform
Your elected officials have whittled away at your legal right to bring a medical malpractice or defective drug lawsuit. If you are injured you'll face laws that:
- Limit your access to get into court
- Restrict the types of claims you can assert once you're in court
- Cap the recoveries you can obtain in court
Senators and representative accept generous contributions from well-organized pro-business groups to insulate them from responsibility for the damage they cause. The best hope for consumers is to go online and learn where your elected officials stand on tort reform. If your elected official voted to cut back your rights, the best place to respond is the ballot box.

If President-elect Donald Trump needs an object lesson on the difficulty of reviving broad sectors of U.S. manufacturing, he need look only as far as his daughter's closet.
Ivanka Trump's $100 million apparel line is sewn in Asian countries under a licensing agreement with G-III Apparel Group Inc., which has expanded from making coats in New York's Garment District to become a manufacturer of global scope.
That method of moving $140 sheath dresses and $80 sweaters means political embarrassment for her father, who has threatened a trade war against China, the world's second-largest economy. But she can make a profit in few other ways.

I'm in a position where I need just a few more inputs. I'm building a midi xylophone and I want at least 4 octaves, which would use all 48 inputs, but I need some control components as well (octave shift, modulation, etc). Is there any alternative to this that I can use, or something I can add to this?
