Gangrape victim 'critical', platelet count dips
The 23-year-old victim put back on the ventilator and her condition remains critical, doctors said today. On the other hand, two gang-rape accused once again said they had committed a horrible crime and 'deserved to be hanged'. One voice, one cause | Delhi tops in rape cases among metrosdelhi Updated: Dec 27, 2012 02:34 IST
The 23-year-old victim of a brutal gangrape was on Sunday put back on the ventilator and her condition remains critical, though she is conscious and communicating, doctors said today.
The young woman, who was subjected to savage torture and rape by six men a week ago, underwent a minor surgical procedure where her abdomen was given a "wash" and the fluid that had collected was drained, a team of doctors said in a bulletin on the patient's health condition.
The woman's platelet condition has dipped further, from 41,000 in the morning to 19,000 in the evening - an indication of infection in her blood.
"She has now a platelet count of 19,000... her platelet count is fluctuating, and we gave her two units of platelets," said a doctor,
"And because she was in distress, she is back on ventilation support," the expert added.
The patient had shown signs of "breathing distress" due to which she was put through an ultrasound and a CT scan, which showed collection of fluid in her abdomen.
"The ultrasound and CT scan showed fluid collection and we decided to do a thorough wash with antibiotics and put a drain, to check infection and to drain out whatever fluid is collecting," said a doctor.
"She is fully conscious and communicating," said one doctor, adding that the woman was being "made to sit up, and given a sip of water.. we are also doing exercises of her lower limbs and other physiotherapy".
The doctors reiterated that the young woman is still in the critical period of health, "the critical period is not over yet".
The doctors said the woman was given anaesthesia and put on the ventilator before being given the abdomen wash.
"We plan to electively continue with the ventilator..we feel it will help improve her condition... We expect improvement, but she continues to be serious and may need further investigations," the doctor said.
'Hang us'
On the other hand, two gang-rape accused brought before a Delhi court Sunday once again repeated their statement that they had committed a horrible crime and "deserved to be hanged". They, however, refused to undergo an identification exercise.
The court sent the two, along with a co-accused who too did not want to face a witness for the identification drill, to judicial custody till Jan 6.
They were arrested for the gang-rape of a 23-year-old woman in a moving bus here Dec 16.
Metropolitan Magistrate Pawan Kumar sent accused Pawan Gupta, 19, a fruit seller, Vinay Sharma, 20, an assistant gym instructor, and Ram Singh, the bus driver, to 14 days judicial custody, after police said that custodial interrogation was not required.
All the three accused again refused to undergo the test identification parade (TIP) by the male friend of the gang-rape victim.
Gupta and Sharma told the court that "they do not want to undergo the TIP as they have committed a horrible crime and should be hanged for this".
Akshay Thakur, a co-accused arrested from Aurangabad district in Bihar and brought to Delhi Saturday, was remanded in judicial custody Saturday night. He will undergo the identification exercise Dec 26 inside the prison as he had given his consent for it.
Another accused and brother of Ram Singh, Mukesh, was identified as one of the culprits by the victim's male friend, who was also assaulted by the accused during the brutal incident Dec 16.
The sixth accused, claiming to be a juvenile, would face separate proceedings before a Juvenile Justice Board.
The rape and torture occurred when the woman and her friend boarded a private bus in south Delhi after watching a movie.
The woman, who hails from Uttar Pradesh, is in critical condition and battling for life in Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi.
Cops suspended
Delhi Police on Saturday suspended three policemen for allegedly not helping a victim of loot committed, allegedly by six men involved in the gangrape of a girl on last Sunday.
The three were among eight policemen who have been suspended for dereliction of duty.
Three Constables -- Kailash, Ashok and Sandeep -- of Hauz Khas police station were suspended for not helping Ramadhar, who was looted by six men who allegedly raped the 23-year-old girl in a moving bus last Sunday.
Five personnel of Connaught Place police station were also suspended for not taking action against those who were consuming alcohol in the heart of the capital. It came to notice during a surprise visit by home secretary RK Singh Friday night.
Sub Inspector Rajeshwar, Head Constable Inder Pal and Constables Jagmal, Pardeep and Chottelal were suspended.

I turned my television on the other night just in time to catch the very beginning of the first round of the 2012 presidential debates. I guess the debate centered around domestic policy or something like that. I'm not sure because there was an episode of "Storage Wars – Texas" on A&E that I hadn't seen before.
About all that I saw was the introduction of the two candidates and the moderator, who happened to be that really smart guy on PBS. I realize that saying a "smart" guy on "PBS" is somewhat redundant, but I need the extra words to fill up this column.
I have stomached my way through televised presidential debates before, and sometimes I believe the moderators of these debates are too smart for our own good. They ask smart guy questions I don't always understand or even care that much about. (I don't run into that particular problem with "Storage Wars – Texas.")
Sometimes you need a regular, average guy moderating these events. Someone who will ask simple questions and expects, no, demands, simple answers. Instead of complicated questions like "How would your administration tackle the current devaluation of the dollar against the yen in developing nations of the African sub-continent?" I would ask much simpler questions like "What the heck are you people doing to my country?," and I would follow that up with, "Are you guys total morons?"
At this particular debate on domestic policy, my sole question to both of these esteemed candidates would have been simply this: If you are elected or re-elected to the office of the President of the United States, what do you plan on doing about the current Box Elder Bug situation?
My house is presently being inundated with approximately four to 16 billion Box Elder Bugs, and I want someone other than me to do something about it. I am ready for my government to step in and take action. I do pay taxes after all.
The other night my wife went outside armed with some bug spray and declared war against the little pests. She laid siege to our pastel yellow siding with the noxious liquid, and we awoke the next morning to see our sidewalk covered with Box Elder Bug carcasses. It appeared as though she had won the battle.
But alas, it only made them mad, for that very night, the bugs came back with a vengeance. The sight of their fallen comrades evidently stirred them into a frenzy as they beat their black and red wings like war drums buzzing around my head.
Another round of spraying took place, and another round of insect termination followed shortly after. This dance of buggy death has taken place on my front stoop all week long, and they just keep coming back.
So far, we have done pretty well at holding off the conquering horde from breaking through the perimeter of our outer walls and getting to the inside of our house. That is, until the other night.
You see, my 7-year-old daughter has taken her own approach to this situation. She took her cute little bug keeper box that someone got for her as a gift and picked out one of the vile little insects to keep as a pet. She named it Fuzzy. The story gets worse.
The following day, she decided that Fuzzy was hungry. Being the humanitarian that she is, she went out to get some grass and leaves for the creature to eat and some sticks so he could climb around and get some exercise. She also picked out another Box Elder Bug to keep Fuzzy company. She named this one "Bugzilla."
So now the scene at my home is one of contrasting beliefs. Outside lays a wasteland of total carnage as the little deceased bodies are swept away, while on the inside, my daughter has tea parties with Fuzzy and Bugzilla in attendance.
As all this goes on, I just sit in my chair, caught in the middle, waiting for my nation's leadership to take a stand on this issue. I guess I'll have to wait until November.
Meanwhile, until this country gets its' priorities straight and figures out an answer to this problem, one thought pervades my sub-conscious as far as this Box Elder Bug problem goes: I wonder what that smart guy on PBS would do?

The Woods Hosts Mari Hulman George Thoroughbred Adoption
September 18th, 2013 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College presents an opportunity to adopt a horse waiting for a second career. These horses have the potential to be successful in a variety of off the track events. Plan to attend the Mari Hulman George Thoroughbred Adoption, hosted at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) on Oct. 12, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
These magnificent animals that had careers as competitive racehorses now seek a new start in life in a caring home. Available for adoption are 10 thoroughbreds and one-quarter horse with ages ranging from two to 12. The horses are "green broke" and still require training. The adoption provides a new opportunity for the horses as well as the SMWC students who are caring for the horses on campus until the adoption.
Instructor of Equine Studies at SMWC Krista Steinmetz expresses gratitude to the Hulman family for providing practical experience for the students.
"Adding this real world experience into the curriculum is great for our students," said Steinmetz. "They are taking the classroom knowledge and immediately applying it to these horses."
She adds, "Working with different types of horses, especially those that just came off the track, gives students the same experience they will face in the equine industry."
To begin the adoption process, read the biographies of each of the horses and download the application at www.smwc.edu/horseadoption. The application is due by October 1, 2013.
Applicants are:
- Financially responsible for providing proper care and the $125 adoption fee,
- Required to notify SMWC within 30 days of any change in the adopter's address,
- Available at any time for inspection of horse and facility, and
- Responsible for transportation from the adoption fair by Oct. 13, 2013.

Kate Middleton Style Watch: Get Kate's Pretty in Pink Look for Less
The Duchess of Cambridge looks glamorous as usual alongside the Queen.
-Beata Cherepakhina
It's a sad day for fans of the Middleton sisters; neither stylish sister was spotted by paparazzi this week. It was a week without any glamorous gowns from Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and zero cute casual wear from Pippa. It just plain sucks. So to take us out of our funk, we're looking back at one of our favorite Kate looks from a few weeks back.
Read Kate Middleton Style Watch: Purple Perfection
We think the beautiful Brit really hit the mark as she toured the new exhibitions at Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth II by her side. Dressed in a peachy-pink dress by Joseph and lovely Jimmy Choo pumps in powder pink, Kate truly looked like a princess.
Thankfully, we common folk can score the same look for much much less! So if we ever meet the Queen, we'll look just as good.

2. Tahari Colette pump in pink ($69.95, dsw.com)
3. Peace symbol necklace ($29.99, shopdesignspark.com)

Book a flight to Halifax with Qatar Airways and you'll be closer to discovering a city that is blessed with all the amenities you'd expect from the 21st Century, but with the community feel of a small, Canadian port town. Halifax is situated on the banks of one of the world's largest natural harbours and boasts a rich maritime history. The harbour also acts as something of a cultural centre, playing host to numerous historical landmarks and public artworks.
Given that it's such a compact city, the best way to explore Halifax is on foot, which allows you the chance to take in all the best attractions at close quarters. Flights to Halifax can be caught from most international airports.
There are a number of important attractions just a ten-minute walk from the picturesque harbour. To see the very beginnings of this city, take a stroll to the Grand Parade - a parade square that dates back to Halifax's origins in 1749. Nearby you'll find the impressive Halifax City Hall, which is the seat of Nova Scotia's municipal government. Province House is an equally imposing building, comprised of concrete columns and yawning doorways. This is Canada's longest-serving legislative building and has been awarded National Historic Site status.
No trip to Halifax would be complete without a visit to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Here, you can learn about Halifax's water-borne past, from ancient steamships to Nova Scotia's role in the wake of the famous Titanic disaster.
If you're travelling to Halifax with children, then a visit to the Discover Centre ought to be on the itinerary. Here, younger visitors can get involved with a number of interactive and educational exhibits such as the Bubble Room, the Race Against Time Track and live science demonstrations.
Point Pleasant Park is a must on any trip to Halifax. Showcasing the best of Canada's spectacular scenery, it's a huge, rolling park with hidden lakes and aromatic pine forests. In addition to birdwatching and wildlife-spotting opportunities, there's also the chance to take in some culture and catch a Shakespeare play in the park's open-air theatre.
If you want to factor in some relaxation on your trip to Halifax, then be sure to take in the tranquillity of Crystal Crescent Beach. With sapphire-coloured seas and powder-soft sands, there's plenty of opportunity to take a gentle walk or an invigorating hike along this spectacular stretch of coastline. However, if you'd rather stay within the city itself, Halifax Public Gardens are something of a hidden gem, offering beautiful scenery and heritage attractions.
There are plenty of places to eat in Halifax, serving a wide range of cuisine. With its proximity to the Atlantic it should come as no surprise that fresh, delicious seafood is something of a speciality in local restaurants.
Canadian cuisine is a fusion of British, Scottish and French influences, creating meals that are intensely savoury or wonderfully sweet. However, if you want a true taste of Halifax, hunt out restaurants serving pancakes with maple syrup or the Canadian national dish - poutine. Poutine is possibly the ultimate comfort food consisting of French fries, gravy and cheese curds – a must-try.
A shopping trip to Halifax is an eclectic experience. The largest shopping destination in Canada, it offers the best of all worlds from high-street outlets and designer stores to artisan shops and chic boutiques.
Spring Garden Road offers the highest concentration of shops and this is where you'll find the designer stores. However, if you want to enjoy the hustle and bustle of street shopping, head down to Hydrostone Market, where you'll find unique, independent shops rubbing shoulders with market stalls, selling everything from hand-crafted furniture to cooking oils and spices.
Flights to Halifax land at Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Halifax please check the visa and passport requirements.

>Off the Beaten Path>"K-Cup" Coffee Makers
I love K-Cups. I do stick to the extra bold varieties because those tend to taste better than the regular kinds.
My wife drinks tea and I drink coffee so making a big pot every morning is a waste as I have one cup while getting ready and one cup on my drive to work.
It is more expensive than brewing your own drip coffee but it is a lot cheaper than stopping at a dunkins or starbucks or even a gas station for a cup, which is more likely what I would end up doing if we didn't have it.
Also their customer service is really great. If your brewer craps out on you for any reason you just call them, they walk you through a few trouble shooting steps, like descaling, and if that doesn't fix it they just send you a new brewer for free, even after the warranty expires. They just make you send back one specific part of the brewer so that they know you aren't just getting free brewers.
I'm a member of the Green Mountain Coffee club as well so I get 18% off on all the purchases. If you buy 4 boxes at a time they don't charge shipping.
Vision without action is a day dream.
Action without vision is a nightmare.
I was given one as a gift, and it's very convenient for a single cup in the morning before work. If I'm not going to work, I don't use it. It only makes sense when I want just one cup. If that describes your coffee drinking habits, go for it. If it does not, don't.
Once I get through the several boxes of K-Cups that it came with, I do not intend to buy more of them. They are just okay in terms of taste and make a ton of waste. If you are super anal, you can rip the foil off the top, compost the grounds, trash the foil, and recycle the plastic.
...Not that I have done that. *cough*
However, I have one of the "use your own grounds" things. I will probably keep using this in the morning once I expend my K-Cups. It's far better than the pre-packed ones I've tried. Still makes coffee a bit weak, though. You can also throw loose tea or tea blossoms in that basket, which I do as well.
If you're doing dinner parties, and you have guests who actually like good coffee, a Bunn or a couple French presses is better--both for volume and making better coffee.

We have one at work but I was disgusted with the wastefulness. So I bought us all a few of these and everyone donates their grounds to my compost pile:

Feeling the growl again
I would never use one at home, the coffee is mediocre, it's expensive, and wasteful.
They don't allow drip coffeemakers at work anymore (or any in your workstation for that matter) but we have K-cup one provided in a central area. I typically bring coffee pre-made from home but if I don't...or run out...I'll use the K-cup as it's still 1/3 the price of going down to the coffee stand and buying it there. I bought a 16-pack a couple months ago, I'm perhaps halfway through it.

I love the convenience of it. It works great for a travel mug in the morning. And my husband is getting old and weird and likes to drink a cup of coffee at night. Before he was making half a pot and then staying up half the night, now he just makes one (sometimes two) cups.
We still have our old coffee pot and on weekends when we're both home in the morning (which isn't often between my long runs and races, and his group rides and races) we make a full pot.
Since everyone else is blogging: http://karenrunsfar.blogspot.com/Upcoming Races: 2016: BCS Marathon. 2017: Houston Marathon, The Woodlands Marathon, Oklahoma City Marathon and Missoula Marathon (50th one on my 50th birthday). After that, who knows?
I tried off and on throughout the years to become a coffee drinker. It's a much cheaper way to get your caffeine than my Diet Coke vice. I joined the office coffee pot fund several times but I just don't like it at all and it messes up my stomach.
Then some friends started a coffee importing and roasting company and a coffee shop and we had their coffee for a breakfast thing we do every Friday for years. Wow, it was so much better! I found I liked coffee if it was good. I bought their coffee and became a coffee drinker, eventually figuring out the whole bit about grinding and how long it lasts and the like.
A couple years ago my wife bought me a Keurig machine for my office and it's a good compromise. Much better than the office coffee pot. I'm a professor and I invite the students to stop by any time and have a free cup of coffee. That's been a good thing. I found that I like the extra bold varieties much better and they're easier on my stomach.
With online deals, the cost for coffee is pretty low, although I'm sure more than the 20 bucks a year for the office pot. The solid waste of a couple tiny K-cups a day is insignificant.
I'd never heard of the thing when my wife gave it to me, but I've become a convert to the K-cup thing.

I love my Keurig. Since I get up at the crack of dawn to run in the morning, it's nice to have coffee that's ready pretty much immediately. Plus, DH can have fresh coffee for when he gets up later on. Also, on the weekends, we don't program the drip coffee maker to start at a particular time, and that take 9 minutes to brew. That's WAY too long wait for coffee, IMHO, so I quick brew a Keurig and drink that while I'm waiting. lol

That is pretty funny, to have a backup coffeemaker so you can have a cup of coffee while you're waiting for your coffee.
And when I say funny, I mean brilliant.
A Saucy Wench
I dont ever see myself making the leap. I fresh grind and brew a pot of coffee and pretty much drink the whole thing. I drink way too much coffee (although I have switched to half-caff most days) to ever make it one at a time and I DETEST flavored coffees.
And the packaging makes me shudder although I know there are refillables where you can use your own coffee. But, I am clumsy. I have a grind and brew so that I only spill whole beans all over the place when I make coffee. If I had to work with grounds each time I would make SUCH a mess.
The advantages I can see is for my friends who drink one cup at a time and who really like variety. But I could never justify the environmental disaster or the $$$ that the pre-filled pods are.

I have a grind and brew so that I only spill whole beans all over the place when I make coffee. If I had to work with grounds each time I would make SUCH a mess.
I think our next machine will be a grind-n-brew model. Grinding in our separate grinder kinda makes a mess every time.
I think our next machine will be a grind-n-brew model. Grinding in our separate grinder kinda makes a mess every time.
I would really like our current machine to break down so we have an excuse. Plus the spout on the carafe was designed by idiots, and you cannot pour without spilling. (You had one job to do!!!) But the damn thing will probably last forever.Like when I was waiting for our remaining tube TVs to break down so we could replace them with flat screens. Of course they kept working & the flat screen we already had broke down first.
Never in a million years would I buy one - way too wasteful of packaging, don't care how good the coffee might or might not be it just goes against my being to thow away plastic and foil for each cup I drink. I'm a coffee-achiever (remember those commercials?!) and use a full-blown espresso machine with fresh ground beans that I use within a few days of roasting. Costs a lot but byGawd you'd spit out any drip coffee after you've had this. After my second trip to Europe I came back and found I just couldn't stomach the drip muddy water anymore.
+1. These are awesome and no waste.
We have one at work but I was disgusted with the wastefulness. So I bought us all a few of these and everyone donates their grounds to my compost pile:
PRs: 5k - (20:42) 3/9/2013 18:55 (9/28/13)
10k - (42:42) 3/23/2013 39:11 (10/26/13) course was short @ 6.0 mi :)
10 mi - (1:12:10) 4/6/2013
FWIW everybody I have known who had grind-and-brews hated them (the online reviews were pretty bad when I looked at them last year). They don't seem to last long at all before the grinder quite (less than a year for both friends who had them).
My wife tried to buy me one last year but clicked on the wrong thing and I ended up with a high end grinder-only instead. It was a pricey oops at first, but actually it is really nice ad it holds a whole bag of beans in a sealed hopper and the grind is really adjustable.
The grounds are deposited in a tidy container for transfer to the brewer...so easy even Ennay couldn't make a mess with it.
I don't know what brand/model it is without looking; I do recall thinking at the time that it was assinine to spend that much on a coffee machine, especially when we realized it didn't even brew the coffee.

While the out-of-the-box experience of the Manage Assets interface will blow you away, it is worth noting that the interface itself is highly configurable, given that deployments of the Correspondence Management solution may need a different/customized look-n-feel of this interface, based on specific customer requirements.
The overall knitting of the UI components on the interface is done using the AMApplicationSkin.mxml which you can find in the CM Solution Template @ CorrespondenceManagementSolutionTemplate\ManageAssets\src\com\adobe\solutions\cmg\manage\skins\AMApplicationSkin.mxml.
Here's a quick look at the high-level components:
While what's shown on the Application Header (the various tab navigators) is largely governed by the (customizable) application's skin (AMApplicationSkin), the rest of the UI components (i.e., which actions/buttons to be shown on the Application Toolbar, which columns to be shown in the Search Results Grid and which properties to be shown in the Advanced Search panel when searching) are driven by an XML definition, i.e. asset definition FMLs, which require almost no code changes to get yourself a customized UI experience. You will find these asset definition FMLs under /apps/solutions/cm/assetDefinitions in the CRX repository. See snapshot below:
Note that you will find two sets of FMLs there. Ones that are named [Asset type].fml and ones that are named [Asset type]-publish.fml – the former being the definitions used for the solution's Author instance and the latter for the Publish instance.
The initial view of the Manage Assets interface lists all assets in the system. That is because the default view has all assets selected for search ("Search all assets" in the Advanced Search panel– see snapshot above). This view uses the Asset.fml descriptor as the UI definition/design. The same descriptor is used when searching for assets across multiple asset types. However, when searching for a specific type of asset (i.e., only Texts or only Conditions, and so on…), the descriptor for that asset type drives the UI definition/design. For example, when searching for Texts only (all other checkboxes deselected), the TextModule.fml drives how the interface looks like.
The FMLs are part of the CM Solution Template (@ CorrespondenceManagementSolutionTemplate\package-resources\apps\solutions\cm\assetDefinitions), and can be modified as required. Once modified, follow the steps to build and deploy the solution template for changes to take effect.
Understanding the Asset Definition descriptors (FMLs)
Now that we know the significance of these FMLs, let's take a look at what's in there…
The FML has a lot inside it, but we will only focus on what's relevant towards the Manage Assets UI definition. Let's take the TextModule.fml as an example here.
The first section of interest is the assetActions item, which defines what action buttons are available on the Application Toolbar when searching for Texts (only). Here's how the section looks like for Texts:
Note the list of actions highlighted (within the grey boundary). Each <action> also defines the User Groups (names) who can perform that action (groupName="…"), whether the action is enabled by default or not (defaultEnabled="…"), and other styling configurations such as the icons to be used in enabled or disabled states, tooltip and label (enabledIcon, disabledIcon, tooltip, label).
The next section of interest would be the various <property> tags. Here's a snapshot of the name property for Texts:
The set of <property> tags define the properties/attributes that are part of that asset. Each <property> may define whether it is visible as a column in the Search Results Grid (note the visible attribute highlighted in RED), whether it is available as a searchable property in the Advanced Search panel (note the searchable attribute highlighted in GREEN), and other attributes such as the displayName, columnOrder, etc.
So, to add a column in the Manage Assets UI (in the Search Results Grid), you would need to add an additional <property> node for that property (if it does not exist already). Properties could either be one of the existing ones for the asset or a custom property added for that asset.
Overall, to configure the properties to be shown in the Search Results Grid and the Advanced Search panel, you may tweak existing properties and/or add/remove properties to the concerned FML.
This was a very generic description of such configurations. You may check out my post which adds a Tags column to the Manage Assets UI for all assets, as an example. You should also check out the public documentation which adds custom properties to assets and displays them on the Manage Assets interface.

Show Play Value Key Explanation
Hide Play Value Key Explanation
The Play Value Key:
Given the winning percentages listed as our confidence for each pick, all plays are not created equal. Each against-the-spread and over/under play is color-coded to aid in play value decision making. All play values are relative to what we consider a "normal play." As a generally conservative rule of thumb, typical wagers should be 1-3% of one's bankroll. A normal play should never exceed 5% of one's bankroll and the combined plays for one day should not exceed half of one's bankroll. The Play Value Key on the right side of the page explains the colors. If the play is listed as '3X Normal Play' that means that it is very strong and worth wagering three times the value of a normal play. The key is fairly conservative with general rules of thumb and ignores other plays made that day. As noted, the percentages in the key relate to the confidence needed to evaluate picks at -110 odds. We still color-code money-line picks with different odds than -110 for value based on the expected recommendation from the Play Value Calculator on a normal play of $50. For more specific recommendations, please use the Play Value Calculator. Content is for informational purposes only and all decisions are completely up to the individual.

Then, to get the most accurate recommendation possible, please enter your normal play value, how many overlapping plays you are making and the odds you are getting on the play. If you have overlapping plays, you can choose the "Standard" recommendation which assumes that all other plays are exactly "normal" or you can choose "Advanced" recommendations, which will allow you to enter all plays by clicking on "Calc" next to each and see the optimal play value recommendations for each based your criteria. As a generally conservative rule of thumb, typical wagers should be 1-3% of one's bankroll. A normal play should never exceed 5% of one's bankroll and the combined plays for one day should not exceed half of one's bankroll. Odds are assumed to be -110, meaning that a loss requires paying out an additional 10% or that you need to risk $110 to win $100. Often times, odds will be "juiced" (the 10% in -110 is the juice) even further on specific spread lines to +/-150 or more. Also, money-lines are strictly based on odds so it is important to understand value. If the odds are -110, 52.38% confidence is needed (i.e. 110/210) to justify play. However, if the odds are -250, 71.43% confidence (250/350) is needed to justify the play. And if the odds are in your favor at plus number like +250, where a $100 wager can win $250, just 28.57% confidence is needed to justify the play. In that last example, if our projection is that the +250 underdog wins 33.33% of the time, it is important to note that the play would only win one-third of the time; yet the payout is great enough that if one-out-of-every-three of those plays hits, the play will be profitable.

Hide Parlay Calculator Explanation
The Parlay Calculator:
Our Parlay Calculator is unique. Traditional Parlay Calculators may provide the straight-line payout odds. You should be able to get any of that information relative to your picks from your linesmaker. Instead, we think it is more valuable to calculate your actual likelihood of success on a parlay. To use the calculator, click on the Show Parlay Calculator toggle and choose the number of games you are interested in playing. Add RL or O/U percentages from the picks by clicking 'Calc' (as you would for the Play Value Calculator). Once you have added all of the games you are interested in, click 'Calculate' to see your Parlay Success and Payout Needed. The Parlay Success is the likelihood that each of these picks will cover. The Payout Needed expresses that value relative to payouts. As long as the payout odds you receive from are greater than or equal to the Payout Needed, the Parlay is an acceptable play. Since payouts are done on a straight-line odds basis, the Payout Needed from a combination of our playable picks will almost always yield an acceptable play. Everything is relative, however. Please note the Parlay Success value. With up to ten teams in a parlay, exotic plays like this will almost never be expected to win. We provide this information to set realistic expectations for parlay plays and to aid in comparing the relative differences between expected payout from the play and the possible payout. Content is for informational purposes only and all decisions are completely up to the individual.

The court will consider how old your child is, how serious the crime is, and the child's criminal record if any. The court can order that:
If your child is sent to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), he or she will go to a "reception center" for the first 30 to 90 days. The center will find out what education and treatment your child needs. Then your child will go a correctional facility or youth camp.
Find the DJJ's reception centers.
If your child is arrested, the police can:
If the police want to talk to your child about what happened, the police must tell your child about his or her legal rights (called "Miranda rights"), which are:
Your child has the right to a lawyer who is effective and prepared. If you cannot pay for a lawyer, the court will get a lawyer for your child. If your child does not have a lawyer, talk to the public defender or another lawyer for advice.
You have rights, too. The police must also tell you as soon as your child is locked up. They have to tell you where your child is and what rights he or she has. But you probably will not need your own lawyer.
Getting a Notice to Appear
Read the Notice to Appear carefully. It will probably tell you to go to the probation department to meet with a probation officer. Click here to find the local probation department.
Four things can happen at the meeting. The probation officer may:
If a petition is filed in court, your child's case will be filed in the juvenile delinquency court.
Trying minors in adult court
Keep in mind that, in some cases, minors can be tried as adults. The three-strikes law says that some serious or violent crimes committed by minors can count as strikes in the future. This can happen even if the records are sealed.
A child who is 14 years old can be tried in adult court for some serious crimes.
Here are some examples:
There are big differences between juvenile court and adult court. If the state wants to try your child as an adult, talk to a lawyer about what can happen. Click for help finding a lawyer.
If your child is tried in adult court, he or she child can be sent to adult prison (CDCR). If your child is tried in adult court, talk to a lawyer.
Even if your child is sentenced to adult prison, he or she will stay at the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) until he or she is at least 16.
If your child is at least 16, the judge can send him or her directly to adult prison. Or if your child's sentence ends before he or she turns 21, the judge can let him or her stay at the DJJ the whole time. If the sentence is longer, your child will go to the CDCR on his or her 18th birthday.
Parental responsibilities when your child is arrested
As a parent (or guardian) you have legal responsibilities. You may also have financial responsibilities for any damage caused by your child. You may have to pay the victim if the court orders "restitution." Restitution is money to compensate for losses or damage caused by your child. For example, you may have to pay for what your child stole, or for the victim's medical bills or lost wages. You may also have to pay for your child's lawyer, juvenile hall services (like food and laundry), and fees to keep your child at the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. This can be expensive, so talk to the court about your financial ability to pay for these fees and costs.
You can also ask the probation officer where to get help. You can also get help from your local school district, hospitals, or the mental health department. And it is always a good idea to talk to a lawyer for help. Click for help finding a lawyer.
As a victim of crime, you have rights. You have a right to information and a right to participate in the court process. To learn about these rights, read Your Rights and Role in the Juvenile Court Process: Information for Victims.
For more information, read Victims Rights and Services, as well as different resources, information, and forms provided by the Office of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services - Juvenile Services Unit.
You also may be able to recover for some of your losses. You can ask the court to order someone to pay "restitution." Read Restitution Basics for Victims of Offenses by Juveniles to find out more. And the State Restitution Fund is also be available for crime victims.
Contact the Victim Witness Assistance Center in your county for help.
There are court forms and instructions that can help if you decide to file for an order for restitution:

Product Details
The ADL5391 draws on three decades of experience in advanced analog multiplier products. It provides the same general mathematical function that has been field proven to provide an exceptional degree of versatility in function synthesis:
VW = α × (VX x VY)/1 V + VZ
The most significant advance in the ADL5391 is the use of a new multiplier core architecture, which differs markedly from the conventional form that has been in use since 1970. The conventional structure that employs a current mode, translinear core, is fundamentally asymmetric with respect to the X and Y inputs, leading to relative amplitude and timing misalignments that are problematic at high frequencies. The new multiplier core eliminates these misalignments by offering symmetric signal paths for both X and Y inputs. The Z input allows a signal to be added directly to the output. This can be used to cancel a carrier or to apply a static offset voltage.
The ADL5391 is fabricated on Analog Devices' proprietary, high performance, 65 GHz, SOI complementary SiGe bipolar IC process. It is available in a 16-lead, Pb-free, LFCSP and operates over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Evaluation boards are available.

Tommy Hilfiger Surf Shack Bus
Tommy Hilfiger Launches Its Own Surfin' Safari
Tommy Hilfiger Launches Its Own Surfin' Safari
Don't fool yourself into thinking that just because Tommy Hilfiger announced a Surf Shack collection, replete with a touring bus, that it would mean slightly grungy, sand-crusted surfer dudes and dudettes. As one of the reigning champs of American prep, the brand has instead kept its chic country-club set and directed them toward the shore with a friendly pat on the back.
If you're in the LA area this weekend, then check it out for yourself at the bus, set to be parked at The Brig on Abbot-Kinney Boulevard in Venice (before moving on to Chicago and Toronto). And if you're not, then browse the wares online so you'll be fully prepared for your next trip to the seashore.

The Argentinean beauty industry exported approximately $300 million in product in 2006, paving the way for sustainable growth to position Argentina as a top supplier to the Latin American market. Argentina's main selling categories to the external markets are: hair dyes, deodorants, hair products, beauty creams, aftershaves and makeup.
According to the Perfumery and Cosmetic Industry Chamber, the previous two years were remarkable. In 2005, beauty exports reached $256 million, and grew an additional 35% in 2006. With 41% of export sales, Mercosur—the economic trade alliance between Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela and Argentina—lead the region's success, while the NAFTA region achieved only 9%.
The Argentine beauty company Aromas del Tiempo, eight years after its founding, is striving to go international. The company seeks to raise $50,000 in investment capital to open new franchises in markets outside of Argentina. The company currently operates four in Argentina, and, according to Leonardo Guttman, CEO, "started with innovative ideas focusing on the manufacturing of personalized products." The main objective was to market beauty products that could also be used for bathroom decoration. Guttman, who has experience in the textile industry, developed the concept of "getting the bathroom dressed." The company's product line features bath salts, bath bubbles, body creams, shower gels, soaps, body splashes, aromatherapy products and bathroom accessories.
The "spa pedicure," a portable set for foot care that includes reconditioning creams and accessories, is the latest from SáraC. The beauty enterprise specializes in hand and foot care, and owns and operates a spa center in Buenos Aires City. The company began selling its portable foot care set to provide consumers with an at-home alternative to spa-only treatments. The firm is currently negotiating the exportation of the product to Brazil, Chile, Bolivia and Uruguay.
New Revlon Argentina announced $8.5 million in sales for 2006, representing 15% growth over 2005. According Hugo Van Zandweghe, director general, the firm successfully turned a negative financial situation into positive net and operative gain, making 2006 the first time the Revlon subsidiary posted positive results since 2000.

Though more of a foodie than a movie buff, I'm only one film short of having seen all the movies nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. And while it's enjoyable to debate with friends which picture should take home the top prize of awards' season, it's even more so to see who can come up with the punniest, funniest Oscar movie/food combo.
Here are some of my favorite so far.
It turns out Winter's Bone lends itself well to the food category. Winter's Bone-In Pork Chop, Winter's (T) Bone Steak, Winter's Boneless Chicken Breasts…whatever meat you're in the mood for.
While it's tempting to play with the title Black Swan (I'm still waiting for a successfully created Black Swan cheeseball), it's way easier to get a pun out of Portman. It works with portobello mushrooms, but it also works with Port. Take a port based punch and turn it into Natalie Portman Punch.
Turn Elie Krieger's Recipe into Natalie Port-obello Lasagna
This one is perfect for a family dinner prior to tuning in to the Oscars. Or if you're looking for a party appetizer, here's two to consider: King's Speech Prawns or King's Speech Oyster Bruschetta.
Now it's your turn…what's your best Oscar nom/food combo? We'll post the winning combo on the blog Sunday, February 27th.

The problem with being a BBQ nut is having to deal with 7 conflicting voices in my head. The other day one of the voices (the crazier one) suggested I make a burger with half beef and half spam.
I haven't had spam for 50 years, so instead of arguing with myself (have you ever argued with a crazy person?) I gave in. After all, i owed it to him since he didn't argue with me when i dared him to play chicken on the freeway in his underwear with a rubber chicken on his head and a sock puppet on each hand. That's a night in jail we won't forget!
So I bought a can of hickory flavored spam and put it through my grinder with 80/20 beef, a little salt and pepper on my wifes and some exotic South African spices on mine.
I cooked them until they hit 145 and then put them on the grill to sear.
I used a potato bun with some horseradish mayo, avocado, slightly grilled onion, tomato, cilantro, and a roasted jalapeno. I then introduced it to my belly and my belly liked. I have to say it was one of the tastiest burgers I have made. (I ate two) Sometimes being crazy aint so bad. "BE QUIET I'M TALKING!"

Good Water, At Last
By Elizabeth Ginns Britten — November 2004
I've always had lousy drinking water on my boat and have tried many filters, but none eliminated that flat metallic taste. However, when I installed the Seagull IV from General Ecology, the bad taste disappeared.
Seagull IV uses a "Structured Matrix" filter element that removes not only bad taste but also, according to the company, viruses, bacteria, chlorine, sediment, and pesticides. The three-step procedure includes an ultrafine microscreening process (using a 0.4-micron filter), molecular capture, and electrostatic removal. No electricity is required, and the unit's built to last. The 5"x5" stainless steel filter housing has a "lifetime finish" and gold-plated ports, and the faucet's valves are lifetime-guaranteed.
Installation took me just 18 minutes using nothing more than two screwdrivers. All hardware is supplied, including a "T" fitting that goes into the existing cold-water line, and the faucet fits into any standard sink opening. The standard element is reportedly good for about 1,000 gallons; higher-capacity models are also available.
The Seagull IV water purifier retails for $419 and is available directly from the company. —Richard Thiel

Did you know?
You can eat traditional Basotho food prepared with ingredients harvested in the wild at the Basotho cultural village in Qwa Qwa National Park, near Clarens.
Food in the Free State needs to be understood in an agricultural context.
The province is the country's breadbasket, and produces much of South Africa's wheat, maize and potatoes. Add dairy, beef and lamb, wild game, trout, cherries, apples, peaches and asparagus and you've a pantry filled with gourmet delights. No wonder restaurants and chefs are popping up faster than the province's famous mielies.
Towns like Clarens, Ficksburg and Parys are good places to experience the best the Free State has to offer.
Clarens is packed with artists, and creative abundance flows easily from palette to plate. Though you're spoiled for choice here, 278 on Main, the Gourmet Shed and the Purple Onion Deli are not to be missed.
For a double helping of Free State food, art, and hospitality go to Parys. Craft beer, excellent Lebanese food and juicy grass-fed steaks are the order of the day in 'Paris by the Vaal River'.
Ficksburg/Rosendal is another Free State foodie area to explore. A famous cherry festival every November, and some of the country's best organic cheeses are a hint of the gastronomic delights on offer.
Fill your tummy with seasonal, home-cooked meals at the Rosendal Handelshuis. If you're after the best boerekos and wholesome meat, seek out the quaint village of Verkykerskop and its organic butchery.
Bloemfontein is the Free State's fine-dining capital. For brilliant posh-nosh, go to Free State restaurant, One on Park, for the seven-course degustation menu and impeccable silver service by the final year students of the Central University of Technology. For swoon-worthy classical French cuisine prepared using the Free State's best produce nothing tops the Oudekraal Estate restaurant.

How to get here
The Free State province is in the centre of the country, and less than half a day's drive from places like Johannesburg Pretoria and Mafikeng. Bloemfontein, the capital city, can be reached by air, road and rail.
Tours to do
Pick cherries in Ficksburg, go on an asparagus pack-shed tour in Clocolan, or walk a medicinal herb trail with a Basotho guide in the Qwa Qwa National Park.
Get around
Bloemfontein has public transport and metered taxis. Not all Free State towns have car hire; it's best to hire a vehicle in the larger cities. You won't need a 4x4 unless you're planning to visit very remote areas.
Length of stay
You could happily spend a few days exploring the back roads of the Free State.
What to eat
Try Green Goose organic cheese, cherries and asparagus in season, local trout, pasture-fed beef, traditional homemade sweet treats, boerewors, biltong, and Free State mielies (sweet corn).
What's happening
In February, Clarens hosts one of the country's best craft beer festivals; in November Ficksburg holds its famous Cherry festival; in September, Smithfield hosts its Bibberchill Festival.
Best buys
Cherry products from jams to liqueurs, witblitz (a local, very potent, white fruit brandy), eastern Free State trout, and seasonal fresh asparagus. Meat products made from grass-fed beef and lamb.

Maxim 55 — By Capt. Bill Pike
Fast and Sassy
|Italy's Cantieri di Sarnico brings a hot new import to America--the Maxim 55.
Ever notice certain inconsistencies in yourself? Like how you're totally into economical, highly engineered, politically correct automobiles these days--I mean, you own one or two, or even three--yet there's still a nifty chunk of your autonomic nervous system that dries your mouth out and slips your ticker into overdrive every time you get within a country mile of a refurbished, revitalized, gas-guzzling muscle car from the "Born to Be Wild" era? You know, like a Dodge Coronet Super Bee with a 426 Hemi, four speeds on deck, and two hulking, four-barrel carburetors.
A recent sea trial of Cantieri di Sarnico's new Maxim 55 brought me eyeball to eyeball with the same kind of inconsistency in myself. While I'm indeed "a trawler guy," with a mighty love for displacement speeds and all their attendant green-hued virtues, from fuel economy to easy-ridin' serenity, there's a significant part of my personal makeup that loves the endorphin-pumping rush I get from driving big, bodacious conveyances fast.
And the Maxim is indeed big, bodacious, and thrillingly fast. In fact, at one point, while throttling the 17-tonner straight across a succession of four- to six-foot head seas off Fort Lauderdale, I was constrained to jack my jaws above the windshield, deeply inhale the salt-laden air roaring past at a solid 40 knots, and gleefully yell, "Whoooooooooeeeeeee!"
Of course, speed usually comes at a price. And as you peruse the acceleration curve shown here, you'll see our Maxim mixed top-end alacrity with significant lag time coming out of the hole. There are two reasons for this, I believe. First, the boat's ZF transmissions turn a top-speed-enhancing 1.757:1 gear ratio--this tends to consume a little extra bottom-end torque during spool-up, at least by comparison with the more common 2:1 ratio for this size and type of boat. And second, I'd say our 1,050-hp MAN diesels needed a little tweaking. Why? Throttling up quickly from dead idle during our trials engendered virtually no black exhaust smoke, a highly irregular--albeit squeaky-clean--phenomenon, even for electronic engines. What this indicates to me is that, via a simple mechanical adjustment on each engine, a more muscular balance could be struck between low emissions and out-of-the-hole performance. I ran this observation past a MAN representative, and he agreed.
At any rate, while the resulting 10 or so seconds required to get the test boat fully up and running felt a bit drawn-out, the payoff--an average top speed of 48.2 mph and near soot-free operation--seemed to compensate, especially when teamed up with some related factors.
Seakeeping, for instance. To begin with, the running surface of the Maxim is atypical of the high-speed, express-type, big-boat genre--her transom deadrise is a mere eight degrees. The upside of such flatness is increased lift and planing efficiency. The downside? The potential for a boisterous ride, something I did not personally observe on test day, perhaps because sea conditions were just a tad less than boisterous. What I did observe, however, was impressive. The Maxim handled the Atlantic's four- to six-footers like a big-hearted, easy-riding thoroughbred, cornering smoothly if widely, planing without obfuscating visibility with bow rise and tracking like a train whether going up-sea, down-sea, or even side-sea.
The helm is another important factor. Our Maxim was equipped with smooth, optional Mathers MicroCommander electronic controls, fingertip-sensitive Italian BCS steering hydraulics, easy-to-see analog VDO instruments, and an ergonomically savvy ordering of dashboard, helm seat, and windshield. All these elements combined to instill a sense of calm and control in me, the driver. Even at wide-open throttle I felt more like I was presiding over a comfy snooze cruise than a high-speed romp-and-stomp across the high seas.

Living Well—Doing What You Can to Keep Your Kidneys Healthy
Having lupus makes it much more likely that you will have problems with your two kidneys. These important organs do the job, among other things, of taking out waste and extra water from the blood and helping to control blood pressure.
So there's certainly nothing to lose—and possibly a lot to gain—in how you feel by keeping these "kidney-healthy" diet tips in mind:
Limit Sodium (Salt!)
How much sodium you eat can cause the kidneys to work extra hard and raise or lower blood pressure. You'd be surprised where sodium hides—in beans, cereals, cookies, soda, and pancake mixes! Always check food nutrition labels. Sodium is listed there! Give your kidneys some rest and try to eat less than 2 grams a day.
Be Careful with Protein
Meats, dairy foods, beans, and nuts are all high in protein, an ingredient that helps build muscles and keep skin, blood vessels, and other tissues healthy. Once protein is used, your body makes a waste product called "urea." But it's work for the kidneys. So if you've had lupus kidney problems, ask your doctor how many grams of protein you should get every day.
Beware Phosphorous! (sometimes)
This mineral is in your bones. Because the kidneys in lupus aren't always good at removing extra phosphorous, the level of another important mineral for bones—calcium—can get low. That isn't good, because too little calcium can lead to weak and easy-to-break bones. So if you have kidney issues, try to lower your phosphorous intake from foods like beans, high-fiber cereals, beer, dark-colored sodas, and organ meats.
Lower Potassium—If Your Kidneys Are Already Sick
Since kidneys sick with lupus can lose their power to take away potassium, watch for—and lessen how much you eat—of foods with this mineral. Potassium-rich foods include bananas, dried fruits, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, milk, cheese, seeds, nuts, and chocolate. Since a lot of these are also nutritious foods, be sure to ask your doctor or nutritionist about just how much potassium to cut!
Skip the Morning Joe (Caffeine!)
Beware: caffeine in coffee, tea, and even soda is "diuretic," which means that your kidneys have to work extra hard to urinate out the extra fluid. This can dehydrate you. So if your kidneys are sick from lupus, give them a break and ease up on the caffeine….
Important: Just watching what you eat can't stop or control lupus nephritis—when your two kidneys get inflamed. When this happens, strong medicines and other treatments are needed. If you have lupus nephritis, your doctor should be closely involved. Ask him for advice about your specific diet.
Let Us Help You!
No matter how careful you are with what you eat, the kidneys may still get sick in lupus, in which case the doctor will have to take over. You may get angry, depressed, and frustrated. These are all very normal feelings. Remember we're here to help you deal with them! Call us!

The 2nd Edition sourcebook Monster Mythology[1] describes Squerrik as physically weak and cowardly, constantly seeking protective magic and disguises to hold imagined enemies at bay.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/12/2013 (1337 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's one of the best attributes a professional athlete can possess and it would serve the Winnipeg Jets well over the next couple of days:
A short memory.
The Jets enter the Christmas break on a two-game losing skid after Monday night's horrendous effort in a 6-2 loss at Rexall Place in Edmonton. Winnipeg is now two games under .500 at 16-18-5 and if the anger that dominated the final minutes of the contest – in which the Jets were nailed for four misconducts and a game misconduct was issued to Zach Bogosian – then they might not exactly be caught up in the glad tidings of the season.
"This leaves you in a sour position, is really what it does," said Jets' coach Claude Noel after the game. "We'll reflect on it and move forward when we get back from the break and go from there. There's a certain way we have to play in order to win games. We know that way, we just aren't willing to play it game in and game out."
The Jets are back on the ice Dec. 27 when they play host to the Minnesota Wild, one of the teams they must reel in if they want to keep alive their goal of a playoff berth. Both the Wild and Phoenix Coyotes have 45 points and are tied for the final wildcard spot, a full eight points ahead of the Jets.
But that fact was not front and center following the game as the Jets seemed more disgusted with themselves – and, again, how to fix their obvious inconsistencies – than focusing on the playoffs. The reality is unless they start stringing together some wins, and they haven't won back-to-back games since Nov. 25-27 in New Jersey and Long Island, the playoff picture will fade long before the Olympic break in February.
The Oilers dominated the first period and led 2-1 after 20 minutes. The Jets rallied to tie the contest at 2-2 – Mark Stuart and Andrew Ladd scoring for the visitors – before the Oilers capitalized on the many Winnipeg turnovers to cruise to a 6-2 win. Taylor Hall paced Edmonton with a goal and two assists while Jordan Eberle, David Perron, Nail Yakupov and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all had two-point nights.
"It was a game from the onset that, for me, we didn't play very intelligent, we didn't play the right way," said Noel. "We knew this game could get out of hand if we played the way we played. We got what we pretty much deserved playing that way.
"To me it wasn't so much a specific moment in the game, it was the way in which we conducted ourselves from the onset… that was really the key to the game. We knew we had to check and we knew we had to defend in order to have success. If you want to look at a moment in the third or a moment in the second, that's' just not it. We knew 20 minutes in this was not going to go our way unless we changed the way we play."
Two of the Jets' leaders were vocal after the game, their emotion and frustration flowing to a handful of reporters.
Asked where the late-game emotion came from – the Jets ended the game taking 61 minutes in penalties in the final four minutes after a skirmish following the Oilers' sixth goal -- assistant captain Mark Stuart said:
"Is that a serious question? We were embarrassing ourselves. We were losing 6-2. God, I hope there would be some emotion or else you've got real issues.
"It's the same old story. It's just consistency and we haven't been able to find it all year. It's one good game and then we take a break. I don't have a whole lot for you tonight. It's pretty self-explanatory, I think.
"Write whatever you want and don't take it easy on us because we don't deserve it."
"It's the same old s—t game aver game. I guess frustrating doesn't begin to describe it," added Ladd. "We know what it is, we talk about it all the time. It's the same thing over and over again. A team like this, you know they have a lot of offensive guys that can hurt you… you don't want to put them on the power-play and you don't want to turn the puck over and give them chances off the rush. And we did both those things."
Ladd finished the game in the dressing room after taking 14 minutes in penalties – minors for cross-checking and slashing and a 10 minute misconduct – after getting into it with Yakupov following the Russian's sixth goal of the season and Edmonton's sixth goal of the night. Earlier in the game Yakupov threw a forearm and goaltender Ondrej Pavelec's head after missing a chance – a play that was missed by the officials but stuck with the Jets.
"I wasn't happy with him throwing a forearm at our goalie's head," said Ladd. "That's pretty much it. If he wants to do that, he'll have some stuff to deal with."
Bogosian received a five-minute major for spearing and game misconduct, Bryan Little was handed a misconduct and two minute slashing penalty, Stuart picked up a 10-minute misconduct and Chris Thorburn was also handed a 10-minute misconduct with 3:44 remaining – all coming at the face-off following Yakupov's goal.
How do the Jets get this right?
"It's just doing the right things," said Stuart. "It's caring, I think, every night that you play the right way. It's not that we don't care, but when you don't play the right way you're letting your teammates down."

A MODEST sale has started at stricken electrical goods retailer Comet following its collapse into administration.
Administrators Deloitte announced a "massive stock liquidation" sale on its website this morning from 9am, for all 236 of the group's stores including the Blackpole Retail Park premises at Worcester.
In-store there, a steady stream of curious punters and bargain-hunters were browsing the shelves now full of knock-down priced goods with discounts of mainly 10 or 20 per cent, and in some rare cases 30 per cent.
Nearly all televisions had been marked down 10 percent, with similar discounts on white goods.
Laptops, digital cameras, sat-navs, camcorders, Blu-Ray and freeview players had also been reduced.
Not all products were being discounted however, and some prime-label goods such as those manufactured by Apple electronics and Dyson vacuum cleaners were conspicuous by their absence.
Meanwhile, 'restraint of trade' ROT notices barring sale to the public had been placed on Morphy Richards kettles and toasters.
Administrators Deloitte is looking for a buyer for the business, but reports suggest it may be broken up, and stores will start closing by next week.
There had been widespread speculation of a 'firesale' but Deloitte said: "The discounts are gentle."
"It's not a hard sale.
They added: "We are not commenting on speculation about store closures."
Online, the store's website has changed to a question and answer page, telling customers those with orders not yet part-paid or secured by deposit will not be honoured.
It also says there will be no refunds, and consumers with faulty goods will have to rely on manufacturer warranties for recourse.
Deloitte said on Tuesday it would now accept pre-paid gift cards from customers and those issued through the charity, the Family Fund, but corporate clients' discount cards are still not being accepted.
The firm went into administration last Friday.
Comet rival Dixons is delaying the start of its seasonal workers recruiting drive, to offer Comet staff a chance to join the business.

There are performance improvements and new features in TLF 3.0 branch. TLF team is still working on the new features of TLF 3.0.
In the ContainerBreaks and ColumnBreaks feature, we have added a way for users to force the text to break and continue on the next column or container. There are two ways for us to choose, the attribute way and the content way. We chose the first one at last for two reasons. First, it have much better compatibility and flexibility with the CSS definition. And the second is it makes the client easier to use this feature which has no effect on the content.
The W3C also got a draft document to define the column break. We bought in some kind of their definition and expand them to be the column break and container break. We got the following attributes:
- ColumnBreakBefore
- ColumnBreakAfter
- ContainerBreakBefore
- ContainerBreakAfter
Each of the attributes can be set as following two values:
AUTO: Neither force nor forbid a container break/column break before(after) the generated box.
ALWAYS: Always force a container break/column break before(after) the generated box.
BTW, in order to fix some bugs, some API are changed in TLF 3.0,
- [API changed]when linebreak="toFit", the contentBounds will include the tailing whitespaces.
- [API added]add color='red' or [black, blue, green, gray, silver, lime, olive, white, yellow, maroon, navy, purple, teal, fuchsia, aqua, magenta, cyan] property support in paragraph element.
- [API added]add custom cursor support for FP10.2, users could have custom cursor by override Configuration:cursorFunction.
You can get more details from the release notes of TLF 3.0.

Brewers capitalize on errors to help Burgos win debut
MILWAUKEE -- Hiram Burgos will have many more matchups against the Cubs if his career goes as planned, though it's difficult to imagine them ever being quite so generous again.
A trio of Cubs errors spotted the Brewers four unearned runs and made a winner of Burgos, the 25-year-old right-hander who made his Major League debut in Milwaukee's 5-1 victory at sold-out Miller Park on Saturday.
Burgos allowed only one run on five well-placed hits in five innings to become the first Brewers pitcher to win his Major League debut since Yovani Gallardo beat the Giants on June 16, 2007. Burgos exited with the game tied at 1 in the middle of the fifth inning, just as the Cubs transformed into the Bad News Bears.
"You have to take what they give you, and luckily they gave us a lot today," said Brewers center fielder Logan Schafer, who made the most of a rare start. "We executed when we were given those extra outs."
Just in time for Burgos.
"This is a blessing," he said. "I thank God and my teammates."
He should have thanked the Cubs. Errors by left fielder Alfonso Soriano and shortstop Starlin Castro gave the Brewers two runs in a go-ahead fifth inning, and another error charged to starter Edwin Jackson led to two more unearned runs in the sixth. The result was the Brewers' sixth straight win and Milwaukee's 17th win in the last 19 Cubs-Brewers games at Miller Park.
After a 2-8 start to the season, the Brewers are back to .500. They are the first team to win six games in a row after a 2-8 start since the 1977 world champion Yankees.
Who saw it coming? One week earlier, the Brewers had lost for the eighth time in nine games and were in the middle of a scoring drought that would grow to a franchise-record 32 innings.
"It's hard to figure out," manager Ron Roenicke said. "That's what drives me crazy, the coaches crazy. We try to figure things and how to get the team going and next thing you know, they do it themselves. It's baffling, this game's very baffling."
Right now, it is baffling the Brewers in a good way.
"Definitely in a good way," Roenicke said.
The Cubs had the opposite feeling.
"We're making a lot of the same mistakes," Chicago manager Dale Sveum said. "They're somewhat mental, they're physical. Obviously, they're young, but we're making mistakes that rookie ball people make."
Every time the Cubs made a mistake on Saturday, the Brewers capitalized. In the fifth, the Soriano error gave Schafer two bases leading off the inning. Martin Maldonado walked and Schafer moved to third on a groundout, then scored the go-ahead run when Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo booted a bouncer by pinch-hitter Blake Lalli. Rizzo recovered the baseball in time to retire Lalli and avoid an error, but the misplay cost him a chance to cut down Schafer at home.
The next batter was Norichika Aoki, who hit what should have been a routine grounder that Castro misplayed while Maldonado scored.
In the sixth, Ryan Braun led off with a single -- his first hit since April 9 that was not a home run. Two batters later, Jonathan Lucroy hit a comebacker to Jackson, who wheeled around intending to start an inning-ending double play, but his throw sailed into center field, putting runners at second and third with one out.
Schafer cashed in by executing a beautiful safety squeeze bunt, with Braun scoring easily. Maldonado followed with a single that extended Milwaukee's lead to 5-1.
It was the Brewers' first successful squeeze in 2013. Last year, they led the Majors.
Burgos struck out only one Cubs batter in five innings, but did not issue a walk and surrendered only one extra-base hit, a cue-shot double by Nate Schierholtz that hugged the third-base line in the fourth inning. It followed Soriano's RBI single, but Burgos recovered to retire Dioner Navarro on a fly out to center field that stranded Chicago runners at second and third base.
He could have worked deeper into the game (Burgos threw only 83 pitches), but the Brewers turned to pinch-hitter Lalli with a chance to score in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Brewers do not require a fifth starter again until April 30, and will meet Sunday to begin making a decision about Burgos' next step.
"He was cool, confident," Schafer said. "It was fun to see out there. I've played defense behind him for a while, and he looked like the same guy to me."
Burgos made only one mistake. After throwing a 90-mph strike to start his career, Burgos tossed the baseball into the dugout as a keepsake. That sprung the Brewers' other starting pitchers into action.
After the game, a shrine of memorabilia awaited Burgos at his locker. There was that first ball, along with five more commemorating everything from his first warm-up pitch in the bullpen to his first bounced changeup. There was a second foul ball ("Sorry, a fan wouldn't give back the first," read the inscription) and a first water bottle, a first gum wrapper and a first towel sat on in the Major Leagues.
All were inscribed and signed by teammates.
"Since I was young, I was dreaming to play in the big leagues," Burgos said. "Actually, I was very anxious before the game, waiting to go out there and warm up and all that. As soon as I got out there, I threw my first pitch and everything went away."

Depending on when you decide to start counting, Steve Alford's mea culpa was late by either nine days or 11 years.
Since leaving New Mexico to become UCLA basketball's 13th coach less than two weeks ago, the 48-year-old has faced intense criticism concerning his defense of Iowa star Pierre Pierce in 2002.
Then playing for Alford as a Hawkeyes sophomore, Pierce was faced with third-degree sexual assault charges and suspended from the team. However, Alford repeatedly proclaimed Pierce's innocence, even doing so less than a week before the point guard pleaded to a reduced misdemeanor.
A University of Iowa official report then stated that Alford's comments "implied that he disbelieved and discredited the claims of the student victim, and his words were perceived as reflecting insensitivity to issues of sexual assault and sexual violence."
Pierce was later imprisoned on separate charges that included assault with intent to commit sexual assault.
On Thursday, nine days after he was introduced at Pauley Pavilion, Alford issued an apology through a news release.
"At that time, I instinctively and mistakenly came to his defense before knowing all the facts," Alford said in his statement. "I wanted to believe he was innocent, and in response to a media question, I publicly proclaimed his innocence before the legal system had run its course.
"This was inappropriate, insensitive and hurtful, especially to the young female victim involved, and I apologize for that. I have learned and grown from that experience and now understand that such proclamations can contribute to an atmosphere in which similar crimes go unreported and victims are not taken seriously."
Of course, Alford could have said something similar when asked about the incident during his official introduction to the Los Angeles media April 2. Instead, he offered little contrition and deferred to his former bosses at Iowa.
"All I can tell you with that situation is that I followed everything that the University of Iowa, the administration, the lawyers that were hired - I did everything I was supposed to do at the University of Iowa in that situation," Alford said. "I followed everything that I was told to do."
That same day, athletic director Dan Guerrero defended Alford and said the new coach deserved a "clean slate" for something that had happened more than a decade ago.
He echoed that sentiment again Thursday.
"I was aware of this situation when we hired Steve and concluded that although he made an error in judgment 11 years ago, he had learned and grown from that experience," Guerrero said in a statement. "Our evaluation was based on his entire career, both on and off the court, and that is what led us to make our decision that he was the right coach for UCLA."

The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced the appointment of Maureen O'Hara to serve on its chief advisory body—the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC). O'Hara is the Robert W. Purcell Professor of Management and professor of finance at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University.
As a member of the TAC, O'Hara will bring the perspective of academic research to identifying and understanding the impact and implications of technological innovation in the financial services and commodities markets. She is an expert on market microstructure, and her recent research has focused on high-frequency trading.
O'Hara was in the spotlight in spring 2014, rebutting the contentions put forth in the popular book "Flash Boys," written by financial journalist Michael Lewis. His claims of rigged markets, predatory trading practices, and collusion between broker-dealer firms are overblown. "It's not all about speed. It's all about technology and new ways to trade," she said.
O'Hara will bring her expert understanding of the dynamics and effects of high –speed trading to the CFTC, whose mission is to protect market participants and the public from fraud, manipulation, abusive practices and systemic risk related to derivatives, and to foster transparent, open, competitive, and financially sound markets.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- Darian Pierce and Ricky Wedgeworth have each pleaded guilty to kidnapping related to an escape from a Louisiana jailed and the slaying of a man during a crime spree through four states.
The pleas were entered Monday before U.S. District Judge David Bramlette. Bramlette set sentencing for May 30. Each faces a sentence of life in prison.
The men were at the Louisiana State Police compound in Baton Rouge on March 4, 2011, when they stole a van.
A few days later, David Cupps, of Sunbury, Ohio, disappeared from a hotel in Vicksburg, Miss. Authorities say he was abducted for his rental car. Cupps' body was found in Alabama. He had been beaten and strangled.
The men were arrested on March 14, 2011 after wrecking a stolen truck near Memphis.

Former and current University of Miami assistant coaches are responding to the Notice of Allegations their schools have received as a result of the NCAA's investigation of Miami athletics, the Miami Herald reported.
Clint Hurtt, a former Miami football assistant coach who is now an assistant at Louisville, plans to fight some of the allegations against him, the Herald reported, although Louisville has not yet released the information contained in his Notice of Allegations. Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich defended Hurtt's character this week, saying he's never broken a rule.
A conference call with the NCAA's Committee on Infractions took place on Friday, according to the Herald, which also noted that former Miami basketball assistant coaches Jake Morton and Jorge Fernandez and former football assistant coach Aubrey Hill filed a motion requesting that their cases to be dismissed because of the missteps the NCAA admitted taking while investigating the case, according to an Associated Press report.
Former Miami football assistant coaches Joe Pannunzio and Jeff Stoutland have not received a Notice of Allegations and are not expected to receive one.
Also on Friday, Miami Board of Trustees chairman Leonard Abess wrote a letter that appeared in the Miami Herald's Opinion section. It read: "Despite the often unwieldy investigation, the [UM], at President [Donna] Shalala's and the Board of Trustees' insistence, has held itself to the highest standards in its model cooperation with the NCAA. While I believe that the [UM] will emerge stronger and more committed than ever to the letter and the spirit in which the NCAA's rules of conduct were established, the trustees respectfully, but firmly, add our own voice to President Shalala's in asking that no further sanctions be imposed ..."
The Atlantic Coast Conference released a statement from commissioner John Swofford, which read, "We are supportive of Miami's continued efforts to work with the NCAA on bringing resolution to this case. Miami's cooperation throughout this process should be commended and they have self-imposed significant sanctions. They've been forthright and diligent in their efforts to fully cooperate with the NCAA and it's time for this case to be brought to closure."
