Cardinals rise up in midget AA
St. Albert midget AA baseball team is 17-1-1
Saturday, Jun 14, 2014 06:00 am
The midget AA St. Albert Cardinals are playing baseball like a AAA team with 17 wins in 19 games.
The winners of the St. Albert Early Bird and Sherwood Park Doc Plotsky tournaments have lost only one game and another was a seven-inning scoreless stalemate.
�One of the philosophies I had as the team�s first-year coach was to run this team as close to the AAA level as possible,� said head coach Jason Enright. �We have a good balance of players. A lot of them would be AAA eligible if our AAA team wasn�t so strong this year (at 14-2 in the NorWest league) and that AAA team is just phenomenal.�
�But as a AA team we would give our AAA team a little bit of a battle I think.�
The Cardinals are ranked first overall in the Baseball Alberta midget AA standings at 9-1 and in the second of three rounds to determine the provincial qualifiers they are 3-1 with road games against the Clive Coyotes (3-0 and overall 8-1) today and Sherwood Park Athletics (1-0 and overall 5-2) Thursday.
�The team is bonding extremely well. We have eight second-year players and eight first-year players and the younger kids want to get more playing time so they�re pushing the older kids to play the best they can,� Enright said of the 16-player lineup (five were on the bantam-age team he coached during its 2014 Goodwill Tour of Cuba), compared to last year�s 13-man roster. �It�s made everybody look over their shoulder. They know that if they�re not on or focused then there is somebody really ready and willing to take their position.�
There are 25 midget AA teams scattered throughout the province and there are some like the Cardinals who have a AAA team in their association.
�Some of the smaller towns that don�t have AAA baseball have fantastic AA baseball. Clive, Olds (1-3 and overall 6-4) and Bonnyville (1-1 and overall 5-3) are very strong teams this year,� Enright said. �We�ve seen almost everybody except for some of the northern teams. North Peace (3-0 and overall 6-3) is very strong. Slave Lake (1-2 and overall 7-2) is strong and so is Barrhead (3-0 and overall 4-5).�
The third round leading up to provincials will give Enright a clearer picture of how good the Cardinals really are.
�The way AA works is you get tiered into teams in your similar area and as the season progresses they kind of branch off. Our first tier was all local Edmonton teams and now we got put in with teams in the south and then they will re-tier the teams and I�m sure some of the teams from the north will be combined with us for that final round before provincials,� said Enright, who hopes to have the Cardinals play as many as 60 games this season, more than double last year�s total.
The Cardinals are bidding to host provincials during the August long weekend. The winner advances to westerns Aug. 15 to 17 in Swift Current.
�Hopefully we make the best run at it as we can,� said catcher/third-baseman Jordon Kroeker, a returning Red Bird. �We just want to play as best as we can. We have lots of good guys, even the first years. They�re doing phenomenal. They�re playing just as good as our second-year players. We�re all clicking together.�
Beating teams by the mercy rule is a badge of honour for the Cardinals.
�We�ve done it a lot and it really brings up the confidence level obviously,� Kroeker said. �Once we mercy a team we�re really proud of ourselves and we want to do it again because it�s such a shot of adrenaline.�
Offensively the Cardinals are averaging 10 runs per game.
�We�re all on the sticks really good, getting everything out of the infield and picking our spots really good, � Kroeker said.
The Cardinals have allowed 3.2 runs per game on the strength of five shutouts.
�I�ve got basically a designated pitching staff, the same way the AAAs would as well,� Enright said. �Our pitching staff has been phenomenal, probably the best pitching staff in our league that we�ve seen with five starting pitchers that are awesome on the mound.�
Defensively the Cardinals have their pitchers� backs.
�Our infield is just stellar and nothing gets past us. If it�s a fly ball then the outfield has it,� Kroeker said. �The goal is not let anything get past us and make no mistakes that we shouldn�t make. If there is something you can get to, you better get there.�
Kroeker, 16, credits Enright � a longtime St. Albert Minor Baseball Association board member and third-year rep dugout boss in his eighth year coaching in the association � for the team�s startling turnaround from last year.
�It�s more than night and day. Last year was fun. We had a lot of good guys on the team as well � this year we just really know what we have to work on at every practice and Jason has done a really good job at that,� said the Grade 11 St. Albert Catholic High School student and noted downhill and mogul skier.
FOUL BALLS: Wednesday the Cardinals suffered their first loss of the season, 10-6 in Sherwood Park. It was 9-2 for the home team after three innings.
The Cardinals were outhit 12-7 and committed four errors, compared to two for the Athletics.
Tanner McLean-Poll and Ben Grabia batted 2-for-2. Grabia drove home two runs and swiped two of the team�s six stolen bases. McLean-Poll, Kroeker and Nate Brisson had one RBI apiece.
Brad Macuch allowed all 10 runs in 3-1/3 innings while walking two and striking-out three. Conor Bronson and Mason Libich pitched in relief.

ALBANY, NY – Snapping a six-game skid, the Merrimack College softball team pulled off a doubleheader sweep (11-4; 4-3) at the College of Saint Rose on Sunday behind the powerful bat of junior Jamie Millett (Shrewsbury, MA).
"The key today was being able to score in the early innings as well as late," said head coach Elaine Schwager. "Jamie obviously had a great weekend with a cycle over both games today. Amanda [Zanni] also sparked us in the game two comeback win with a big triple to start the fifth."
In game one, the Warriors matched a season-high 11 runs on 13 hits from seven different players in an 11-4 win. The first four batters for Merrimack recorded multi-hit games, including Millett who continued her hot hitting to go a single shy of the cycle with six runs batted in.
After Merrimack fell behind 3-2 in the second inning on a three-run homer, the Warriors and Millett answered with a three-run jack of her own to put the visitors back on top by two and for good. The second baseman was not done in the fifth as she tallied three of six Warrior RBIs in the next inning on a base-clearing triple—her first of the season.
With four hits and as many RBIs against Le Moyne on Saturday, Millett finished the weekend with a staggering .533 batting average, 1.200 slugging percentage and 10 runs batted in.
Senior Atlee Cahill (Gloucester, MA) pitched a complete game in the opener, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out four. Cahill improved to 5-8 on the year with the win.
In game two, sophomore Monique Gosselin (Lawrence, MA) bombed a two-run homer to nullify a 3-1 Golden Knights lead in the fifth inning on the way to a three-unearned run inning. Millett again registered a hit in the first inning, but did not record an RBI for the first time in four games.
Sophomore Alex Gallant (Salem, NH) got the start for Merrimack on the mound and improved to 4-6 on the year with a three-hitter and not allowing an earned run in 4.0 innings.
Freshman Kelli Jo Deardorff (Bedford, MA) recorded her first save of the year in game two while not allowing a hit over three innings on the way to a 4-3 victory for the Warriors.
Said Schwager of the four-game series in New York, "It was a solid weekend all together and we pulled through on Sunday because of the confidence we had gained throughout the weekend."
The Warriors conclude a six-game road trip at Bentley on Tuesday, April 27 with a 3:00pm doubleheader in Waltham.

A cold and some shoulder pain aren't going to keep Tom Brady off the field Sunday. It didn't keep him off the practice field Thursday. The Patriots' quarterback returned to practice after resting on Wednesday. He'll be fine for the AFC Championship versus the Broncos.
Fantasy Analysis:
Barring some crazy, unfortunate development, we've arrived at the end of this non-story. It was a nice time-waster while it lasted. Brady is FFToolbox's No. 2 QB for the conference championship round.

The Week In Cleantech (May 11 - May 17) - Coal's Clout
On Monday, Chris Baltimore at Reuters discussed how Democratic candidates were playing up "clean coal". It's always interesting to read about politicians courting different audiences. In this case, out of convenience, both candidates are avoiding substantive debate on energy policy, during which it would certainly emerge that clean coal is more dream than reality.
On Monday, Julian Murdoch at Hard Assets Investor told us that it was in the wind. An interesting piece on one of my favorite sectors, wind, with a discussion of a few good plays. Speaking of wind, T Boone Pickens was responsible for the wind announcement of the year to date this week.
On Tuesday, Mike Taylor at Renewable Energy World compared the cost of utility-scale solar: PV vs. CST. Quick article but useful in what to watch for in the solar space in the next few years. Large-scale storage - no surprise here!
On Thursday, Tyler Hamilton at Clean Break informed us that grocery manufacturers were launching a smear campaign against biofuels. These are presumably deep-pocketed opponents, and this campaign won't help corn ethanol's already shaky image. Neal at Cleantech Blog, who is generally in support of corn ethanol, reports on a study that claims that corn ethanol has lowered gasoline prices in the US, and claims that the case for government support is therefore not as weak as is often argued here.
On Friday, Keith Johnson at the WSJ's Environmental Capital wondered about the future of German solar subsidies. I've come across a few pieces over the past while discussing this backlash in Germany. It is unrealistic to expect rate and tax payers to subsidize the renewables industry foreover, especially where customers pay a lot for power. So maybe instead of heavily subsidizing renewables and non-renewables, policy-makers should look into ending subsidies for fossil fuels and forcing the market to fully internalize the costs of pollution and CO2. Germany was the main culprit in handing over too many carbon emission allowances to its utilities in the first phase of the EU ETS, which resulted in huge windfall profits for some of the dirtiest power producers in Europe. Sounds to me like someone wants to have their cake and eat it too, and it's unclear how sustainable that is.

|1998N-0359 - Program Priorities in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nurtrition; Request for Comments
|FDA Comment Number :
|Submitter :
|Mr. Gerald Dalton
|Date & Time:
|07/28/2004 05:07:46
|Organization :
|American Citizen/Food purchaser
|Food Industry
|Category :
|Issue Areas/Comments
| Shrimp is currently the number one seafood choice for American
consumers. Approximately 80% of the shrimp consumed in the United States
is imported, over half of which is farmed raised. Some chemicals, such
as chloramphenicol and nitrofurons, are used around the world to raise
shrimp on coastal farms for exportation to the United States.
Chloramphenicol is linked to human aplastic anemia, intestinal
problems, and neurological reactions; while nitrofurons have been found
to be carcinogenic. Both are widely used to produce shrimp, but both are
also banned in the United States.
Even the House Committee on Appropriations has focused on the public
health concerns surrounding imported shrimp. The recent House Report
108-584, which accompanied the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and
Drug Administration, and Related Agencies appropriations bill - H.R.
4766, stated:
"The Committee continues to have serious concerns regarding seafood
safety issues posed by banned antibiotic contamination in farm-raised
shrimp imports. The Committee recommends that the FDA, in cooperation
with any state testing programs, continue testing of farm-raised shrimp
imports for chloramphenicol and other related harmful antibiotics used
in the aquaculture industry and ensure that any adulterated shrimp that
tests positive for chloramphenicol or other banned antibiotics will be
destroyed or exported from the United States."
I urge the FDA to recognize its mandate of ensuring a safe food supply
by prioritizing imported shrimp inspections and taking the following
1. For one year, inspect 100% of shrimp imported into the United States
for banned chemicals, such as chloramphenicol and nitrofurons. This will
allow the FDA to better understand the extent of the problem.
2. Once the year of 100% testing is complete, the agency should devise
a testing program for imported farm raised shrimp that is based on the
prevalence of banned chemicals found during the total testing period.
3. If shrimp entering the U.S. is detected with residues of banned
chemicals, the contaminated shrimp must be destroyed, rather than dumped
back on consumers in the country of origin or used in animal feed.
Sincerely Yours,
Gerald J Dalton

Google Nexus 7 second Generation is available now. Its razor-sharp full-HD screen. silky smooth performance, long battery life, meager weight, and affordable price make it the best tablet value on the market. First things first, the Nexus 7's screen is incredibly sharp and text is particularly fine and easy to read. You may not fully appreciate its high pixel density immediately, but when looking at it next to almost any other tablet screen, the Nexus 7 clearly comes out on top. It's also one of the brightest tablet displays I've ever seen. Colors are more accurate and fuller compared with the 2012 Nexus 7 and the contrast ratio is noticeably higher. Viewing angles are wide and images appear to have a fuller, more corporeal integrity.
The amazing display is really good for users to watch movies, thus, many users would like to put DVD movies on Nexus 7 2 so as to view movies on the go. But how to achieve it? It's really a problem for most users. No worry, the following article i will talk about how to rip DVD movies to Nexus 7 2. Moreover, i will share something about how to get full-screen playback.

Lately I've been feeling lucky -- and getting lucky, too.
Not the way you might surmise. Get your minds out of the gutter, people. Not that that's a bad thing. It's just off topic.
The stars just keep on lining up. Meanwhile, I've been worrying about this and worrying about that because that's what I do --Ā even when I don't want to be such a nudge.
The latest exciting thing to happen is that I won a cheese cookbook in a giveaway. Okay, I know you're thinking, cheesy or how many ways can there be to prepare cheese and crackers.
And it's not exactly a million dollars. But, figure the odds of ever winning anything in a random contest. Astronomical, yet some lucky people do indeed win.
I also see it as a sign -- something along the lines of this:
You get what you ask for. Sometimes we ask for things that aren't good
for us -- bad relationships, jobs, no parking spaces -- with negative thinking. And we stay with them for all the wrong reasons too.
There's nothing new to the glass half full theory. It's whether we see it half full or half empty.

A liberal group upset over potential cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security delivered pledges Friday to President Barack Obama's national campaign headquarters threatening to pull its support.
About a dozen people representing the Progressive Change Campaign Committee delivered what they said were 200,000 pledges from people who will refuse to donate or volunteer for Obama's re-election campaign if he cuts the entitlement programs.
"It's not a question of who they're going to support for president, they're going to vote for Barack Obama. It's a question of where their time and money is going to go," spokesman T. Neil Sroka said.
Obama has been taking heat from the left over the debt ceiling negotiations, in which he has been willing to target the long-standing programs. His approach is certain to sit better with independent voters, many of whom have told pollsters they want Washington politicians to work together to solve the big problems.
Sroka said the 200,000 people represent more than $17 million in donations to Obama's campaign in 2008 and about 2.6 million volunteer hours.
Protester Mary Ellen Croteau, 61, of Chicago said she's even ready to find someone else to support if Obama cuts Medicare and Social Security.
"I don't know who I'm going to vote for yet because there doesn't seem to be too many people on the horizon, but I will vote for someone whether it's a Green candidate, whether it's a communist, I don't care. Somebody who's going to stand up for people," Croteau said.
Sroka later said she was not speaking on behalf of the group.
The Obama campaign's chief operating officer, Ann Marie Habershaw, accepted the group's petitions in the lobby of the downtown office building that houses the campaign.
"Americans elected the president in 2008 to take on the big challenges facing our country, and he's engaged in an effort to do just that," Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a statement.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for your question.
First, we have to deal with the fact that she is still legally married
If she is legally married, then the only way for her to be eligible as a dependent for her parents is if:
If your child and his or her spouse file a joint return only to claim a refund of income tax withheld or estimated tax paid.
That is from Publication 501
Assuming that that is the case (and that will largely depend on the husband's salary), then the parents may claim their daughter AND their grandchild as dependents
However, you mentioned that she received a W2 with no Fica or Medicare taken out.......was federal or state tax withheld?
No federal or state tax was taken out of the W-2 that had no Medicare or SS wages or deductions listed. On the other W-2, no federal w/h and only $8.00 state tax w/h. Daughter's husband did not work (as far as we know) in 2012 and was thrown out of the parents house because he did not look
for a job
Are you sure that this is a W2 and not a 1099MISC?
How did she earn the money for that job?
Staring right at her document from her school and it is a W-2. Must have been for work study. He 1099-T was for more than $20,000 in fees, tuition, etc. and she got about $4,000 in scholarship on the 1099-T I will have to check about the type of work, but it can't be much, since the Grandfather
was classifying it as minimum wage
Ok, that helped. Thank you for checking that
On the W-2 from hr school, they tool out .23 for state
Do her parents have the right to claim her? yes, and no
hr should be her
If her husband files MFJ, and she is also filed on her parent's tax return as a dependent, then there will be an IRS letter sent to both parties
Don't know if the husband filed a return. Not many people are speaking to him. I think he is essentially homeless
Then my advice would be to have her parents file her and her child as their dependent, and if for some strange reason he does file MFJ, it will kick back showing her SS# XXXXX used on a previously filed return
I agree with the yes and no. Common sense would dictate that the grandparents benefit, but our tax code often operates in a logic-free zone!
You must have talked to the boys on Capital Hill too..........they no longer take my phone calls...........
Won't she need to file separately, as a student and as the dependent of someone else?
Yes, she will
They will ask for his SS#, so hopefully she has it
if not, it will take more time to process is all
Her return will be MFS?
let me think here for just a second
We do have her SS # XXXXX it will appear on both her's and her parents. I think they have the deadbeat dad's SS # XXXXX
I need to look something up
Why do I feel we need to offer the deadbeat Dad $100 to file MFJ?
I know they can claim her if she files jointly only for a refund...........but I need to check the mfs status
Good luck there, I went to the IRS website and that's why you and I are talking
I don't do that much tax work, but the few I do always seem to be grey.
OK.................here's what I know for sure
if the married couple files ONLY to get a refund, but didn't support themselves, then the grandparents may claim the daughter as a QUALIFYING RELATIVE
scratch that I truly meant to type QUALIFYING CHILD
Think the $8.00 State will cover us?
I can't find anything that states that this can be done if she files separate
hold on just a second....I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to answer this
I had just the daughter in the computer program and she owed money, but adding the husband would probably be zero tax and again, maybe the $8.00 helps.
in order for the grandparents to file her, she MUST file jointly (and if he's a deadbeat and didn't work, then he would have no income)
Bet you dollars to donuts that the husband came up with 1099 income and used his child's SS # XXXXX
it doesn't matter if she actually GETS the refund....the point is....they would have no tax liability
how old is his child?
or are you speaking about the grandchild here we've been discussing
True, but I'm going to need his signature (pin). and that $100 may be what it takes.
The grandchild was only about 2 years old at the end of 2012.
at any rate, if he as a 1099MISC for more than $400, then they must file jointly because of the SE tax, and that will mean that the grandparents can't file her
she needs to be divorced by 12/31/2013
if that's her plan
She can challenge him
if that's what he did
To a duel?
of sorts
first, you need to try having her parents claim her........and the grandchild........and see if they're numbers have been "used" (I hate that expression)
So we file the daughter's 2012 return as MFJ and se what happens. I think they still speak and I think she can hit him with a cash inducement.
BE SURE she claims her daughter
Yup: I have been there before with children SS #'s taken by wrong spouse and also preparers sending in fake returns
unfortunately, there's ALOT of fraud around the EIC
if he used the child on his return................my guess is he would have filed HH and gotten the earned income credit
THAT she can challenge
I've been in this business 27 years, and just recently I had 2 clients come to me because they're preparer tried to "make a deal with them"
I don't even know how to ASK something like thatt
So you want her to claim her child on her return and the grandparents can't claim either their daughter or grand-daughter?
I believe anything these days
depends. on if her joint return (with the child on it) makes it through IRS efile
that's no guarantee he won't try later..........but IRS will stop him, and then they have to prove where the child lived, and THAT will be where she challenges him
Anne: let me be sure I am on the same wavelength. File the grandparent return first with the daughter and grandchild on that return as dependents
the daughter must file jointly (showing no income for her soon to be ex) and she files her daughter on her return
you need to see if he used the daughter
So she is showing 3 on a joint return?
once that clears (If it does), THEN the parents can claim the daughter.............the granddaughter will be on her mom's return, and she will get an Earned Income Credit for the child....probably in the neighborhood of $1000
that's the only way to know if he filed as Head of Household (which he's not) and if both claim the child, the IRS will catch it
I just have to mark the spot on the program on her return that she can be claimed by someone else on their return
Yes..............but you need to give her return time to clear (meaning once she gets her refund)
before the grandparents file
Can I do MFJ without his permission????
Unfortunately he was still alive at the end of 2012
if you can't find him..............but it would have to be mailed in
I like the way you think...............you've been making me smile...............thank you
Stating that the husband could not be found and therefore we could not get him to sign the return
Did I mention that the daughter never changed her maiden name?
but the marriage is a matter of public record
has she ever signed his name for any reason?
to cash a check for instance
Don't know. Maybe. If she did it once, than she could sign the return for him
depends on the laws in your state..............you'd have to check
in MI, once you let your spouse sign your name once..........they can do ALL KINDS of things
Then why not sign the 8879 for both?
open a cc in your name
As an EA I can't tell you to do that
I always send them out to the parking lot to have the wife or husband, who I know is sitting in the car in 100 degree south carolina heat
LOL in MI they're generally too cold to get out of the car...........they stayed where it was warm
Okay: Since this has been an amazing journey. can we recap options?
do you want to go first this time?
The daughter could file MFJ or MFS. If she files MFS she has to claim herself and her parents can't claim her
so far so good
She really should file MFJ
keep going
She does MFJ and can be claimed by someone else
That goes on the return
again...........if the only reason she filed jointly was to claim a refund and she did not provide more that 1/2 of her total support
but I did make an error
She definitely did not provide more than 1/2 her support. Her parents paid for her associates degree and the baby's daycare and everyting else
she would NOT be eligible for the EIC since she would be a dependent
That was my errror
So again, she files MFJ with her SS#, the deadbeat husband SS # (and the baby)
What if the GP's have become the baby's legal guardians?
Do you enjoy throwing me curve balls?
have they?
All heck no. I just know I'm going to get hit with that in the morning when I talk to the client
Hold for a sec, I have to throw a dog out
I generally let mine walk out..............but to each his own.........lol
The parent has the superior right to claim the child
I'm back
If the grandparents had legal custody, wouldn't that involve claiming that both parents were unfit?
They told her not to marry the guy and the rest is history
that doesn't make her a bad parent though
just a poor judge of men
I'm afraid she'
she's not alone in that boat
I Honestly don't know the daughter
well, the parents would have to take her to court to get legal custody
maybe you should meet her...............sounds like she might be available soon...........lol
Anyway. Daughter goes MFJ and has to claim the baby. No EIC or federal Refund
and she's going to college................
you've got it
Yup. No dumb co-eds in college!
you DO know that song from
"my Fair Lady" is running through my head now
Which one?
I think she's got it
only change the she to a he
My George
Before I pass out.
if you need me again..................I'm usually around
but are you clear what you need to do tomorow?
I hate the idea of mailing the return in. Drake will get me a rejection within 24 hours if one is out there to be had
if they both sign the EF form.........(he's in the car.....remember?)
My regular email [email protected]
as long as she has his SS#
I'm sorry....they "xx" out everyone's email
they don't want us to have contact with anyone outside of this venye
did not know that
No problem
they're very protective of that, and I guess I can't blame them
are we good then?
You have your plan of attack?
Anyway, for the sake of argument, She files MFJ and she claims her daughter
The gp's file with her as a qualifying child but they can;t claim the grandkid
the IRS will often THINK she qualifies for the EIC and either send it to her, or send her a letter claiming she was eligible
until they get the grandparent's return
so just be aware of that....and if they send her a check, be sure she doesn't cash it
If I efile her return, how long before I efile the GP's. Your opinion
as soon as hers makes it through the system..................however, they will have to mail in...because her SS# XXXXX show its already been used
Her's being the 22 year old
Okay, let's stop there (1:15AM) and I will talk to the client in the morning.
Thanks for your help
yep same time here
good luck
nice chatting with ou
and thank you for using Justanswer/Pearl
You too.

Avoid Immigration Services Scams
Many people offer help with immigration services. Unfortunately, not all are authorized to do so. While many of these unauthorized practitioners mean well, all too many of them are out to rip you off. This is against the law and may be considered an immigration services scam.
USCIS wants to combat immigration services scams by equipping applicants, legal service providers, and community-based organizations with the knowledge and tools they need to detect and protect themselves from dishonest practices. Please see USCIS's "Avoid Scams" webpage for more information. If you have you been a victim of an immigration services scam, help is available. You can report scams to the Federal Trade Commission. You may also file a complaint in your state.
If you're working with an attorney, check with the state bar association to verify that the attorney is eligible to practice in—and is a member in good standing of the bar of the highest court of—any U.S. state, possession, territory or commonwealth, or the District of Columbia.
If working with a non-attorney, verify whether the individual is an accredited representative of an organization recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).
Know the law in your state. Some states have specific laws regulating immigration consultants. If you are unsure whether your immigration service provider is giving trustworthy advice, do not hesitate to seek a second opinion. When doing so, always work with a licensed attorney or BIA-accredited representative.

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 would like to give my staff more hours, but am concerned that by them working more hours, their status could change from part-time to full-time and am wondering if offering paid vacation for example is required by law.
No, benefits are not required by law for full-time workers in Colorado. I strongly recommend that you speak with an attorney to advise you on appropriate offer letters and other materials to protect your business. Business issues are not something to guess about. Good luck with your business.
This answer is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice regarding your question and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
No, but that will change soon. The Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act also know as "Obama care" will require employers to offer health insurance to full time employees or pay a penalty. The Act takes effect on January 1, 2014 and its effect will depend on how many people you employ, their household income, and other factors. There are many insurance advisors or attorneys who can help. Other than health insurance no employer is required to offer any benefit of any kind. But if you do offer benefits, there are often laws that govern the method of offering and paying benefits which is way to complicated for a short answer.
Answering this quetion does not establish an attorney client relation. The answer is for educational purposes only. You should consult an attorney for your circumstances.Ask a similar question
I agree with Mr Thomas that nothing is required until Jan. 2014, and then only health care.Ask a similar question

Like so many, I thought I would give these a try. The Figurardo is on back order so I decided to try this version. All I can say is I just ordered two boxes! If the Figurados are as good as these, I will have to make serious room in my humidors. I absolutely love Padron 1926s but these are outstanding in every way. Incredible.
One of my favorites! Really well crafted, bold, but smooth. Creamy, coffee, nutty notes with some amazing tobacco notes and even some spice. Great job Oliva!
My brother-in-law and I smoked one of these paired with some Rock Hill Farms bourbon and both decided we were in heaven......These things are delicious and can be found at a great price at Famous Smoke. Try these you will not regret it.
I was pretty crazy about the torpedo and then I tried the 60 ring gauge. You need to smoke 1/3 of the torpedo before the flavor kicks in. Not with these loggers. It s best the tasting part of the smoke sweet spot from spark to finger burn. You will not be disappointed.
Oliva Serie V Melanio Double Toro: Solid. Smooth. Full bodied but not harsh. DEEEElicious. From walnuts to mocha, balanced AND bold ? the perfect cigar!
perfect cigar cant get any better than this great job OLIVA !!!!!
This cigar is an absolutely incredible smoke. Smooth and full of flavor, with a nice draw. Perfect for those days that you just need a good, long smoke. I just wish they weren t so expensive, because I have to save them for special occasions.
Like so many, I thought I would give these a try. The Figurardo is on back order so I decided to try this version. All I can say is I just ordered two boxes! If the Figurados are as good as these, I will have to make serious room in my humidors. I absolutely love Padron 1926s but these are outstanding in every way. Incredible.
The Oliva Serie V Melanio 7x50, in Churchill, is a cigar that?s sure to please even the most demanding smoker. It comes in with a very glove soft tan wrapper smelling like chocolate and hay with a very nice double cap. It?s a very good looking box pressed stick that?s nice and spongy to the touch.Fresh off the light it gives a very soft, creamy textured smoke with a nice aged tobacco flavor with a note of chocolate. Perfect draw and short finish with a medium body.15 minutes in almost an inch down, I?m getting very smooth soft earth, cream flavor, and a hint of chocolate that blends in through the finish.45 minutes in getting a bit of a transition and a nice complex blend of flavors. On the draw is a chocolate, caramel sweetness, with a slightly sweet almost salty coffee that comes in on the finish with the chocolate that also blends through with the coffee. Construction so far is perfect.1 hour in almost to the first band and giving a small shift in flavor has taken place. The salt in the coffee is gone, the caramel is almost gone, and the chocolate is still blending with the coffee. The profile of the flavors are getting richer while keeping the elegant smoothness of the smoke. Construction and draw are both still perfect.1 hour 25 minutes in it decided to go out. Very odd and an unexpected surprise. No tunneling or anything like that going on. After the relight the coffee and chocolate are still going strong and a bit of a cream flavor has now came back into the mix.1 hour 50 minutes in ash fell of in a solid chunk. Burn got a little uneven, but self corrected and no need for a touch up. So far the coffee and chocolate are still blending and now a nice nut flavour has come in. I?m almost detecting a hint of vanilla on the finish. Still a solid medium body. Both bands came off the cigar with no damage to the wrapper.2 hours 25 minutes in the coffee and nut is the only thing left and they hold through the finish. Everything is perfect about this smoke other than the minor relight issue. Conclusion:Please give these a try. A great almost desert like stick. No complaints at all. I will be buying these in the future.-Fecto
This stick was incredible! Extremely tasty. Every two or three draws the complexity kept coming and flavors kept changing. Perfect draw and burn with an intoxicating aroma. My only regret is that I wish it didn't have to end.
Oliva has a reputation for great smokes, and this is no exception (my favorite from Oliva). I picked one of these up locally yesterday to give it a try (back to buy a BOX today from FS). This cigar was perfect! The pre-smoke draw was effortless and it had the most flavor of any cigar I've ever smoked (that's a lot of cigars, by the way). After light was no different. PLENTY of flavor, but smooooooooth for a full body. Asthon VSG is my usual "go to" for a decently-priced full body, but in my humble opinion, I like the Oliva Serie V Melanio even better!

Arab Americans Fail to Influence Democratic Party Platform on Jerusalem
By Munir K. Nasser
Washington, DC
Leaders of the Arab American community participating in the Democratic National convention in Los Angeles this week admitted that they have failed to influence the Democratic Party Platform, which calls Jerusalem "the capital of Israel."
The Platform, which was decided by the Democratic Party before the Los Angeles Convention, said in part: "Al Gore and the Democratic Party are fundamentally committed to the security of our ally, Israel, and the creation of a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace between Israel and its neighbors… Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths."
Jim Zogby, Co-Chairman of the Ethnic Council at the Democratic National Committee told Albawaba.com in a telephone interview from Los Angeles that he was unable to change the language of the Platform. "I had an opportunity to weigh in on language and we limited some of it," he explained. "We were not able to win the platform that we wanted."
He said the Republican Platform is calling for moving the Embassy to Jerusalem, but the Democrats say they recognize it as capital. "I still argued against it and urged that we should leave it out, but they did not listen to us," he pointed out.
Zogby believes the powerful pro-Israel lobby is behind this language. "This is unfortunately the other side playing these games, and they think that they win, but I don't think they do, because it is a loss for everybody around," he stressed.
When asked whether this Platform language contradicts Clinton's policy on Jerusalem, Zogby said that he does not expect Gore to follow up on it. "It didn't have any impact on Clinton, and will not have impact on Gore," he predicted.
Zogby believes that some of the language in the Democratic Platform is less problematic than the language in the Republican platform. He noted that the Republican Platforms of 1980, 1984 and 1988 say the Embassy should be moved to Jerusalem, and it didn't have any impact on Reagan or Bush. In this year's Republican Platform, he said, "George W. Bush says he will move the Embassy immediately upon taking office, and it won't have any impact on him either."
Meanwhile, the Arab American delegates at the Democratic Convention are organizing events to win the party's recognition of their views. A record high of 52 Arab American delegates have been elected to the Convention from 20 states and trying for a visible role in the party. The Arab American Institute on Monday hosted a luncheon with the delegates and talked about their political plans. Another big Arab American event at the Convention is planned for Tuesday where1,000 delegates are expected to attend.
Among the prominent Arab Americans participating in this year's Convention are members of Congress Nick Rahall (WV), Chris John (LA), John Baldacci (ME), and Pat Danner (MO), Governor Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Louisiana Attorney General Richard Ieyoub, Tennessee Speaker of the House Jimmy Naifeh, Bridgeport Connecticut Mayor Joe Ganim, former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, UAW President Steve Yokich, Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President Bill George, DNCF Ethnic Council Co-Chair
James Zogby and New Hampshire Gore 2000 Chair William Shaheen.
Zogby said Arab Americans are celebrating their involvement and the recognition that they have received from the Democratic Party. "The fact that they are coming as leaders and recognizing our role and that Al Gore placed on his platform 52 Arab American delegates, I think it is important. This is an incremental building process. We are just feeling good about how far we have come," remarked Zogby.
Zogby said that Arab Americans have come a long way since they entered politics in 1984. He added that in 1984 Arab Americans had only 4 delegates at the Democratic Convention, and Vice President Walter Mondale refused to accept contributions from Arab American candidates. In 1988, they joined Jesse Jackson's campaign, and did very well with the ticket, but Michael Dukakis rejected their endorsement. In 1992, it was the first opportunity to participate in the Democratic campaign with Clinton and "it was Joe Lieberman who broke the doors down and got us in," he stressed. "I never forgot that. I think it was very good that he did it. In 1996, we were full participants and this year again we are full participants."
When asked about Liebrman's nomination as Vice President, Zogby said it put Arab Americans in a tough position. "People are concerned about it, and I understand that," he said. "We have raised issues with his record, and we talked about what he has done, but at the same time, I have to tell you, in 1992, when AIPAC was blocking our participation in the campaign, it was Joe Lieberman who broke the doors down. He called George Stephanopoulos and said: 'I want these people in the campaign and I want them in now,' and it happened. He can be a very good guy," he said – Albawaba.com

Reed, Nelson Pitch Baseball to SEC Tourney Win over No. 24 Bama
May 20, 2014
Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
HOOVER, Ala. -- A.J. Reed worked five innings to improve to 11-2 on the year and Austin Cousino drove in three runs, leading Kentucky to a 7-1 win over No. 24 Alabama in the first round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament, on a gorgeous Tuesday night at the Hoover Met.
Kentucky (33-22) posted the win in the single-elimination format over the Crimson Tide, with the result advancing the Wildcats to the double-elimination format. UK will now face SEC Champion and No. 11 Florida, on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. ET, with the Gators earning a bye from the Tuesday single-elimination format. Florida will turn to ace freshman righty Logan Shore (7-2, 1.69 ERA) for the start.
"I'm really glad to win, obviously," UK head coach Gary Henderson said. "We are looking forward to being able to stay here and play some more baseball. I'm really proud of the effort of our kids today. It was just a really, really good day on the mound for us, with A.J. getting his 11th win of the year."
A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Reed (11-2) worked five innings, allowing six hits and one run, walking two and striking out two, while pitching on short rest after beating Georgia on Thursday night in Athens, Ga. The win now gives Reed sole possession of third in UK single-season history and marked his 18th career victory, good for 10th in UK history.
"A.J. did a good job competing on short rest," UK shortstop Matt Reida said. "You could see a little fatigue early and he did a great job battling, throwing strikes. He kept attacking their hitters and making them put it in play. It's a big park so that definitely plays a role in it. He did a great job.
Reed added a 1-for-3 game at the plate with a double and a pair of walks. On the year, Reed has an 11-2 record and a 2.10 ERA in 103 innings, allowing 29 walks and striking out 68. At the plate, Reed is sporting a .358 average with 15 doubles, with his 23 homers and .786 slugging percentage leading college baseball, and his 70 RBI and 44 walks pacing the conference.
UK junior righty Andrew Nelson came on to start the bottom of the sixth inning and worked the final four innings, allowing just two singles, striking out one, picking up his first career save. Nelson has worked 11 shutout innings in his last three outings and has worked 12.2 innings vs. Alabama in 2014, allowing just two earned runs.
"I was effective today because I did a good job of getting on top of some balls, on top of the fastball," Nelson said. "I did a good job of letting the ball sink. They were just missing it a few times on some good pitches. I made some bad pitches that they hit well. This ballpark is huge so we made some good plays, had good defense behind us. It was easy to stay loose because it was warm. It was easy to stay comfortable because we were scoring so many runs."
UK collected nine hits in the cavernous Hoover Met, with Cousino going 1-for-3 with three RBI and a walk. Reida, Storm Wilson and JaVon Shelby each notched two-hit games, with Micheal Thomas doubling for the ninth time. UK also got an RBI from Max Kuhn, who also drew a walk, with Thomas Bernal scoring a run on a pair of hit by pitches.
"The left side of our infield, and (second baseman) JaVon even, was outstanding today," Henderson said. "They did a really, really nice job, made several tremendous plays. It is nice to see them get better. We are playing better defense as the season moves along."
Kentucky will be meeting Florida for the fourth time in 2014, with UK posting a series win over the then-No. 12 Gators to open the month of April. UK posted a 17-1 win in the opener, suffered an 11-10 loss in the middle game and then won the rubber match with a 9-8 result. First pitch is slated for 5:30 p.m. ET and the game will be televised live on CSS and ESPN3.com. The game will also be broadcast live on the UK IMG Radio Network, with the Voice of UK Baseball, Neil Price, calling the action. Fans in Central Kentucky can hear the game live on WLAP 630-AM, in Louisville on WKJK 1080-AM and online at UKathletics.com.
Alabama (34-22) starter Nick Eicholtz (3-2) worked over one inning, allowing two runs on no hits and four walks. Righty Jay Shaw came on in a bases-loaded jam in the second inning with no outs, allowing just two runs to score on the Eicholtz line. Shaw worked three innings, allowing four hits and two runs, not issuing a walk and striking out two. Ray Castillo took over to star the fifth inning, working one inning and allowing a pair of runs. Mitch Greer, Tucker Hawley and Taylor Guilbeau each worked in relief for Bama.
The Wildcats got on the board in the second inning, as Bernal was hit by the first pitch of the frame and Wilson and Thomas drew walks to load the bases for Reida. Reida then lofted a sacrifice fly with a full-count to leftfield, scoring Bernal. After Shelby singled off the wall in leftfield to re-load the bags, Cousino beat out the back-end of a double play to force in Wilson and give UK an early 2-0 lead.
Alabama rallied in the bottom of the third inning, as Georgie Salem led off with a single, chopped through the right side. After a strikeout, slugging catcher Wade Wass worked the count full, before smashing a double into the left-center field gap, scoring the speedy Salem from first base.
Kentucky got the two runs back in the top of the fourth inning, as Wilson and Reida led off with singles hit to the opposite field. After a pair of outs, Cousino lofted a fly-ball single into shallow rightfield, allowing Wilson to score, with Reida just beating the throw to the plate with a head-first slide, giving UK a 4-1 lead.
The Wildcats added two runs in the top of the sixth inning, as Reida led off with a single up the middle and Shelby drew a walk. Cousino then loaded the bases with a perfect sacrifice bunt, reaching on an error. Kuhn followed and grounded up the middle, with Alabama getting Cousino out in between second and third and Shelby scoring.
UK added a run in the eighth inning as Shelby led off with a single and Cousino followed with a walk. After a deep fly out advanced both runners into scoring position and Reed was intentionally walked for the SEC-leading 15th time, Tom beat out the back end of a double play to score Shelby and give UK a 7-1 lead.

MicroRNAs are important post-transcriptional regulators in different pathophysiological processes. They typically affect the mRNA stability or translation finally leading to the repression of target gene expression. Notably, it is thought that microRNAs are crucial for regulating gene expression during metabolic-related disorders, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Several studies identify specific microRNA expression profiles associated to different histological features of NAFLD, both in animal models and in patients. Therefore, specific assortments of certain microRNAs could have enormous diagnostic potentiality. In addition, microRNAs have also emerged as possible therapeutic targets for the treatment of NAFLD-related liver damage. In this review, we discuss the experimental evidence about microRNAs both as potential non-invasive early diagnostic markers and as novel therapeutic targets in NAFLD and its more severe liver complications.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are endogenous, small non-coding RNAs which possess a central role in the regulation of both mRNA and protein expression of the target genes. They were firstly described in
In contrast to the exogenous long dsRNA precursors generating short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), miRNAs are produced by an endogenous longer primary precursor (pri-miRNA) encoded in the genome and typically transcribed by RNA Polymerase (Pol) II [
Based on the numerous functions exerted in gene expression regulation, in cell physiology and development, and considering their involvement in affecting various diseases, miRNAs are tightly and finely regulated at different stages. The miRNAs can be controlled at transcriptional level, along their multistep processing and post-transcriptionally. Moreover, the miRNA turnover and function can be regulated by differential AGO protein interactions. Furthermore, miRNAs can be controlled by epigenetic modifications and they can even be sequestered from their proper mRNA targets by mean of the so called competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) [
Since their discovery in 1993, numerous studies have been focused on the analysis of miRNA physiological functions and on their involvement in human diseases leading to the evidence that the miRNA profile alteration associates with several pathologies [
It is now extensively accepted the role of miRNAs as potent regulators of a wide range of specific pathways or physiological processes controlling multiple biological functions. Until few years ago the biological functions usually assigned to miRNAs control consisted of developmental timing, apoptosis, proliferation, differentiation and organ development. To date, several recent studies conducted both
Although NAFLD has been widely recognized as a multi-factorial disease in which a complex interaction of genetics determinants, nutritional factors and lifestyle act in concert to induce hepatocellular injury and progression to liver disease, and despite the enormous amount of ongoing studies, its pathogenesis still remains not fully understood. The emerging role of miRNAs as important players in adipocytes differentiation, hepatic metabolic functions, insulin resistance, appetite regulation and control of the immune response, has led several studies to investigate the relationship between miRNAs altered expression and NAFLD pathogenesis, suggesting some specific miRNAs as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers [
Another potent post-transcriptional regulator of lipid metabolism appears to be the miR-370. This evidence is suggested by an
Indeed, to better elucidate the miRNAs role in hepatic steatosis and in its eventual progression to steatohepatitis, and in order to highlight an eventual association between alteration of hepatic miRNAs expression pattern and specific stages of NAFLD, Cheung
Actually, several studies carried out in animal models have repeatedly confirmed the existence of a relationship between the expression profile of diverse miRNAs and the specific disease stage of NAFLD. Jin
NAFLD condition affects one-third of the adult population in Western countries and it is also increasing along the childhood in the same geographic area. The clinical importance of this pathology results clear since, in a fashion still poorly understood, simple steatosis can progress to steatohepatitis, characterized by hepatocellular inflammation, and possibly evolve to end-stage liver disease and complications as hepatic fibrosis [
According to the literature, the cytokine TGF-β1 plays a key role in triggering the trans-differentiation of HSCs into fully activated and pro-fibrogenic phenotype, thus causing hepatic fibrosis. In a recent paper He
Despite its well-known antivirus effect, a number of publications reported that interferons (IFNs) also exhibit an antifibrotic action in human chronic hepatitis [
Nowadays, the significance of miRNAs regulation in different physiological and pathological conditions is becoming increasingly visible and undeniable. A quantity of studies have reported the crucial roles that miRNAs exert along the onset and development of various pathologies including acute and chronic liver diseases as NAFLD, NASH, fibrosis, cirrhosis and also HCC. In particular, aberrant miRNAs expression has been demonstrated to affect various aspects of metabolic pathways, with particular regard to lipid and glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. Moreover, another significant emerging aspect is that the serum level of certain liver-specific miRNAs might be used as clinically potential biomarkers since augmentation in circulating concentration of specific miRNAs have been related to different stages of NAFLD, NASH and to the progression of fibrotic liver damage [
The authors declare no conflict of interest.
MiRNA (MicroRNA) biogenesis. MiRNAs are typically transcribed in a RNA Polymerase II-dependent manner although alternative pathways exist. The primary precursor (pri-miRNA) is processed into the nucleus by Drosha complex (comprising its cofactor DGCR8) originating the hairpin precursor (pre-miRNA), which is in turn exported in the cytoplasm by the exportin-5 (Exp5). The assembly of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) lead to a second cleavage accomplished by Dicer enzyme (assisted by the dsRNA-binding protein TRBP) giving rise to mature 20–23 nucleotides miRNA:miRNA* duplex. Then the miRNA* strand is released and degraded while the miRNA guide strand is loaded into Argonaute (AGO) complex allowing its association with target RNAs. The incomplete matching of nucleotides among miRNA and target RNAs results in repression of protein synthesis and/or mRNA deadenylation and following degradation.

Windows 7 Remove Shortcut Arrow
How to Remove Shortcut Arrow in Windows 7
I will show you how to remove Windows 7 shortcut arrows. The superior method involves using regedit to add the Shell Icons registry key. In my experience, the IsShortCut method has an unpleasant side effect on the 'Favorites Icons'.
Topics for Removing Windows 7 Shortcut Arrow
Method 1 (Best): Remove Shortcut Arrows with Shell Icons
Our mission is to edit the registry so that we can remove the Windows 7 shortcut arrow on desktop icons. As a preliminary step, make sure that you have a shortcut on your desktop! For example, create a shortcut to calc.exe. Now you will be able to see the changes you make in the registry!
Registry Instructions for Shell Icons Method
This is how to remove a shortcut arrow in Windows 7. For Vista see here.
** HKLM is an abbreviation of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and HKCU is shorthand for HKEY_CURRENT_USER. These acronyms are so well-known that you can even use them in .reg files, Windows 7 will understand and obey the registry instruction.
Screenshot of Shell Icons Registry Key to Remove Shortcut
** HKLM is an abbreviation of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and HKCU is shorthand for HKEY_CURRENT_USER. These acronyms are so well-known that you can even use them in .reg files, Windows 7 will understand and obey the registry instruction. See how to create a Windows 8 .reg file to remove the shortcut arrow.
Guy Recommends: A Free Trial of the Network Performance Monitor (NPM) v11.5
SolarWinds' Orion performance monitor will help you discover what's happening on your network. This utility will also guide you through troubleshooting; the dashboard will indicate whether the root cause is a broken link, faulty equipment or resource overload.
What I like best is the way NPM suggests solutions to network problems. Its also has the ability to monitor the health of individual VMware virtual machines. If you are interested in troubleshooting, and creating network maps, then I recommend that you try NPM now.
Download a free trial of Solarwinds' Network Performance Monitor
Variation of Method to Windows 7 Remove Shortcut Arrow
Instead of creating a special folder, you could save the noarrows.ico, or other blank icon file, into the %SystemRoot%\System32 (usually this c:\windows\system32). Then in regedit you can reference the location with just the file name as a value, for example:
29 REG_SZ noarrows.ico
Alternative Method to Remove a Windows 7 Shortcut Arrow
This method involves referencing the built-in shell32.dll, whereas the above method uses a .ico file to remove a Windows 7 shortcut arrow.
One difference between removing shortcut arrow in Windows 7 and Vista is this, in Vista the path requires a double backslash. %SystemRoot%\\System32\shell32.dll,50. Where as in Windows 7 you just need the traditional single \ thus : %SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,50.
Guy Recommends: SolarWinds Free Network Bandwidth Monitor
This freeware monitor is great for checking whether your network's load-balancing is performing as expected, for example, are two interfaces are getting about equal traffic?
It's easy to install and straightforward to configure. You will soon be running tests to see how much network bandwidth your applications consume.
The GUI has a lovely balance between immediate network traffic data in the middle, combined with buttons to seek related data and configuration settings. Give this monitor a try, it's free!

Troubleshooting Removing Windows 7 Shortcut Arrows
If you make a major mistake, e.g. creating a key called not Shell Icons, but ShellIcons or Shell Icon, then nothing happens; you still get those annoying shortcut arrows. However, if you create the correct key (Shell Icons) and the correct String Value (29) but err on the value, then you get a horrible icon as shown in the screenshot. My point is that it's the value that wrong, and not the key.
Problem Arrows Return: After you remove the Windows 7 shortcut arrows, they return after a reboot. I encountered such a problem when I saved the .ico file into the %systemroot% (Windows) folder, instead of a separate folder e.g. C:\Icons.
Problem Ghosting: Icons strange ghosting. Even though the arrows have gone, the icons seem to develop an all-over glow or ghosting. While the effect goes if I press F5, nevertheless it is irritating. Furthermore, I have not seen anyone else report this problem.
Latest theory, this ghosting has everything to do with an dodgy old graphics card and nothing to do with removing shortcut arrows.
Background to Shortcut's Arrow
The shortcut arrow is actually an overlay, which is stored in the master icon file called shell32.dll. If you open this file, then you will see familiar icons for folders, CD Drives and Start Menu items (see screenshot).
Now each icon has a number associated with it, and the shortcut's number is 29. What we will do is launch the registry editor, and redirect number 29 to a different icon, one that is transparent.
Incidentally, to see the shell32.dll icons, right-click any shortcut, select
Change Icon and browse to:
See also how to create a shortcut for Windows 8 App on the desktop.
Method 2: Remove a Windows 7 Shortcut Arrow by Deleting IsShortCut
Once again, I will show you how to remove arrows on shortcut icons. This method involves deleting a registry value, so I advise that you export at least the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\linkfile branch of the Windows 7 registry.
Side Effects of Deleting IsShortCut
If you delete the registry REG_SZ IsShortCut, then the Favorite Links disappear. Another problem occurs with the Media Center and Games Explorer, their shortcuts may be displayed, but they don't work when you click on them. On the other hand the Shell Icons method has no such side effects, although there is no arrow, the icon still launches the underlying program.
Registry Instructions for IsShortCut
Key Learning Points
** HKLM is an abbreviation of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and HKCU is shorthand for HKEY_CURRENT_USER. These acronyms are so well-known that you can even use them in .reg files, Windows 7 will understand and obey the registry instruction.
*** Following this scheme HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT can be abbreviated to HKCR.
Follow-up - Remove Text from a Shortcut
It is also possible to remove the text label underneath a shortcut. The trick is to rename the shortcut with a null character, ASCII 255 is best.
Troubleshooting - Removing text from Shortcut
Further Reading
Summary of Windows 7 Remove Shortcut Arrow
Those shortcut arrows can be most annoying. Fortunately, in Windows 7 you can remove the arrow from all shortcuts by using regedit to add a Shell Icons key, then create a '29' String Value, and finally assign it a value which points to special physical file called noarrows.ico.

By Michelle Kessler, USA TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO Daylight-saving time begins Sunday, three weeks sooner than usual. Time to spin the dial on the kitchen clock — and to brace for computer problems.
The early start wasn't programmed into many electronic devices. That's created plenty of work for Luis Rodriguez, a software director at IBM, and David Woelfle, an enterprise architect at Electronic Data Systems. The two tech experts have helped dozens of companies update computer systems for the change. They took time out from the last-minute crunch to offer advice on how to enjoy a glitch-free Sunday.
•Why is the time changing early? In 2005, Congress passed the Energy Policy Act extending daylight saving. The sun shines later in the evening during daylight saving, so people wait longer before turning on lights and other appliances. That saves power.
•Why is that a problem? Electronics makers had no way of knowing before 2005 that the start date would change. Devices more than 2 years old are typically programmed with the old calendar.
•Will PCs display the wrong time? Many will, unless they are updated. PCs running Microsoft's new Vista operating system should have the correct time. Older versions of Windows usually need a software patch.
The patch was already sent to PCs that automatically receive updates from Microsoft. Computer owners who choose not to receive automatic updates must download it from microsoft.com.
Apple computers running OS X that receive automatic updates should also have the right time. Those with automatic update turned off can get a patch at apple.com. Owners of older Apple computers can adjust the time manually.
•Are other computer programs affected? Yes. Every version of Microsoft's Outlook calendar program needs a patch that can be downloaded from microsoft.com.
The fix was not sent out via automatic update, so most home or small business users need it. Corporate users have probably already been upgraded by their company's tech department.
But it's unlikely that every Outlook user will make the update. That means events shared by more than one person could be incorrect. Microsoft recommends inserting the time into the description of each event as a backup. (Type "Lunch with Sarah, 1 p.m." instead of just "Lunch with Sarah.")
Programs from other software makers may need updates, too. Check websites for information.
•What about cellphones? Many cellphones — including most models offered by AT&T, Cingular, Nextel, Sprint and T-Mobile — will make the time switch automatically. But there are exceptions, mainly computer-like smart phones such as the Research In Motion BlackBerry or Palm Treo.
If the phones are part of a corporate network, the company's tech department has likely already made an upgrade. Many consumers and small-business owners will need to download a patch. Check with the device manufacturer, such as Palm. Service providers such as AT&T usually can't help.
•What about TiVos, iPods, etc.? It depends. Digital video recorders from TiVo and DirecTV should have already received an update. Apple iPod digital music players receive an update when synched with an updated computer.
Some high-end alarm clocks that automatically adjust for daylight saving must be changed by hand. So will the clock on most DVD players and VCRs.
•Is the time switch a potential disaster like Y2K? Probably not. The date switch from 1999 to 2000 threatened to crash computers worldwide. The time change may confuse people, but it probably won't result in broad system failure.
But the confusion will last awhile. If someone manually changes the time on a PC without updated software, it will be correct only for three weeks. The PC will automatically add an hour on the first Sunday in April, the date daylight-saving time traditionally started.

Every time I return to Nassau Coliseum I can't help but recall the chance I had to play here as a youngster. I was a squirt, no more than 60 pounds, and I thought stepping onto the ice at this venerable arena was the coolest thing in the world.
It goes without saying that I didn't get out much as a kid.
OK, too easy. Truth is, as outdated and even ugly as the Coliseum might be, it at least has some semblance of character, which isn't something you find in every NHL building these days. Now if I was a player and I had to compare the facilities here to other arenas, some of the arena's "charms" might quickly wear thin. But I can certainly handle three games a year.
Meanwhile, some notes:

For the record, I'm fairly certain I was kept off the score sheet in that game. I believe we played Oyster Bay, or maybe it was the hated Green Machine. I can't remember. But I can guarantee you at no time was there an incident with the Ice Girls.

As for more relevant hockey news, it will be Henrik Lundqvist versus Joey MacDonald, a clash for the ages. Laugh all you want, but I guarantee the Islanders come out flying.
"They're a good team and they work awfully hard," said Tom Renney. "The results and point totals don't necessarily suggest what they're doing, but as a team we're pretty cognizant of that."

Had the chance to catch up with Thomas Pock, who resisted my invitation to trash the Rangers. I hate when guys get all classy like that.
"Honestly, I had a good time and some great memories from being with them that will be there when I'm 80 years old," said Pock, who has played in six of the Islanders' first seven games after being claimed off waivers. "Everything else is water under the bridge. In some places it works out and other places it doesn't. I have no hard feelings against them."
It's fair to say that Pock was not a favorite of the Rangers coaching staff despite some potential as a puck-moving defenseman. He spent most of the 2006-07 season with the team, but played in only one game last season before being demoted to Hartford.
I asked him if he always thought he could play for most NHL teams.
"Definitely, you look at their roster and the guys who are there, it's just a tough team to crack," he said.
More updates in a bit…
Update, 7:01 p.m.: The Scott Gomez line to start, with Michal Rozsival and Dmitri Kalinin at defense. Thomas Pock gets the start for the Islanders alongside Mark Streit.
Update, 7:08 p.m.: Nothing like a resounding goal to break a player out of his slump. Somehow Chris Drury was credited with the goal just 56 seconds in, even if it didn't look like he touched the puck at all. Nonetheless, it's his. And as I said earlier, sometimes that's all it takes.
Update, 7:13 p.m.: At least they're saying here Drury scored the goal. I see everywhere else that Markus Naslund is getting credit. So stay tuned..
Update, 7:29 p.m.: Looks like Brandon Dubinsky's two penalties have landed him in Tom Renney's doghouse. He was just held out in a shift in favor of Blair Betts.
Update, first intermission: I was just about to say it's remarkable the Rangers escaped that period with a lead given how badly they were outplayed when the Islanders score late. Dan Girardi gets completely outmuscled by Richard Park, and Kyle Okposo buries his first of the year with 7.3 seconds remaining. Fitting, I suppose.
Update, 8:13 p.m.:Â Given my earlier posts, I'm not at all surprised that the Islanders are outworking the Rangers. But I am surprised at just how flat the Rangers look, particularly on their second failed extended 5-on-3 in as many games. I'm just a guy who played one game here 20 years ago, but doesn't a power play need some movement to be even slightly deceptive? This power play is just as predictable as when Jaromir Jagr was here, with one major exception: it no longer has Jaromir Jagr.
Update, 8:26 p.m: Voros and Thompson fight, to the tune of "Panama" by Van Halen. I'm not sure how I feel about the soundtrack, although it would be even stranger if it was "Wind Beneath My Wings". If a guy could fight to that, no one would ever mess with him.
Update, 9:02 p.m.: Nothing abut this lead would qualify as "commanding". In fact, I'd venture to say this is one of the sloppiest efforts of the season. So why are the Rangers winning? Maybe it's because the Islanders aren't exactly overloaded with finishers.
Update, 9:16 p.m.: OK, so now we'll call it commanding thanks to Scott Gomez and what looks an extended 5-on-3 for the Rangers. In other news, note that Nikolai Zherdev is back playing with Brandon Dubinsky and Aaron Voros while Petr Prucha is with Chris Drury and Markus Naslund.
Update, 9:27 p.m.: Slump? Did someone mention a slump? So maybe one goal wasn't much of a goal at all and the other was on an inconsequential 5-on-3, Chris Drury no longer has to look at the bagel next to his name on the stat sheet. Now the question is how it serves him moving forward.
