Welcome to the ehealthforum. I am really glad to help you out.
The blotches which you have described can be due to purpura. This occurs when the platelet count is low. Platelets are the blood cells which are responsible for preventing bleeding.
When their count decreases, such bleeding spots appear on the skin. Similar problem can occur due to deficiency of clotting factors like in liver disease, kidney disease.
Iâll suggest consulting a physician and seeking diagnosis & treatment as it is not possible to diagnose online. I sincerely hope this helps. Take care.

Baby, if you're lookin' for the real thing, check out Ashford and Simpson. Married songwriters Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson created some of the grooviest love tunes of the 1970s for the likes of Ray Charles ("Let's Go Get Stoned") as well as duo Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell ("Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Your Precious Love," "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" and "You're All I Need to Get By"). Ashford and Simpson also recorded eight LPs in the 1970s, three of which went gold, thanks to singles like "Send It," "Don't Cost You Nothing," "It Seems to Hang On," "Love Don't Make It Right," "So So Satisfied" and "Mainline." In other words, Ashford and Simpson tickets are a potentially low-risk, high-return investment in the Get Some Fund. Unless you needed that spelled out to figure out, in which case an emergency groovy love-jam tutorial is probably in order. Ashford and Simpson are the featured act at Saturday's 19th annual, black-tie African American Museum Gala at the Wyndham Anatole Hotel, 2201 Stemmons Freeway, at 9:30 p.m. Call 214-565-9026, ext. 302 for tickets. --Cheryl Smith
Art Rock
Hey, kids! If you can't get your parents to drop you off in Deep Ellum for a local rock show, then tell them you want to go to the Dallas Museum of Art to check out Come Forward: Emerging Music in Texas. It sounds like a new exhibit, but it's really a free concert featuring one of Dallas' best bands, the Deathray Davies, along with 41 Gorgeous Blocks, Cordelane and Panda, any one of which could also be the city's next great rock stars. The concert coincides with the museum's current Come Forward: Emerging Art in Texas exhibit, which showcases 11 artists from around the state with young careers. Arrive early to check out the art and then think of the concert as the soundtrack to the exhibit. The whole shindig will be hosted by Josh Venable, from The Adventure Club program on The Edge 102.1 FM, who has been proving that Dallas rock bands are truly an artistic force in their own right on his Sunday-night radio show. What parents wouldn't want to drop their kids off for a culture lesson and a rock-and-roll education? The "exhibit" is Friday from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. at 1717 N. Harwood St. Call 214-922-1826. --Jay Webb
Beautiful World
Obey and de-evolve with Forbidden
Run for the hills, there's a giant homefront invasion a-comin'! Wait, before you grab the canned goods and head for the homemade bunker, remember: A Paul Revere isn't likely dropped in our Night & Day section. Still, it's no lie...the Giant Hometown Invasion coming to the Forbidden Gallery this Saturday deserves your attention, as it's a showcase of the artwork of Mark Mothersbaugh and Shepard Fairey. Related only by general societal outlook, Mothersbaugh and Fairey aren't a dynamic devolutionist duo, but their ideas go together like the revolving bone/spaceship segue in 2001. Mothersbaugh has name recognition because of his time with the seminal new-wave band Devo, and his postcard-style pieces reflect the notion of merging creation with commerce. Mixing premade graphics together with anything from found objects to good old-fashioned paint, Mothersbaugh's artwork is as slippery and fractured as his music, and he simply describes it as "one man's view on culture." More or less, that's enough. His name's not so famous, but that's not to say the work of Shepard Fairey isn't instantly recognizable. Take a drive through any urban area and you'll inevitably see stickers with the Orwellian "OBEY" logo glaring from an assortment of fixtures. No, it's not the work of those stealthy Gideons; it's the proliferation of Fairey's art that dissects and explodes imagery absorption. No icon is off limits to Fairey, yet the artist is more interested in philosophy than politics...which favors genuine thought over political agenda. Word up. The show runs through June 14; just don't be the one who wears a "Whip It" T-shirt. Please. If you go forward, I'll go backward, and we can meet at the Forbidden Gallery, 3603 Parry Ave. Call 214-887-5939. --Matt Hursh

Drew Rosenhaus
Published February 28, 2005
Love him or hate him, no one can deny that NFL player agent Drew Rosenhaus has become a very powerful person in the world of sports.
Drew Rosenhaus
|• Age: 38
|• Title: President
|• Company: Rosenhaus Sports Representation Inc.
|• Family: Single
|• Education: B.A., University of Miami, 1987; J.D., Duke University School of Law, 1990
|• Career: Started as an agent while in law school; was 22 years old when he first registered with the NFL Players Association
|• Last vacation: I never take vacations. But every day is a vacation when you love your work the way that I do.
|• Last book read: I read comics on a daily basis. On almost every flight. My favorite comic is "Batman."
|• Last movie seen: I rarely have time to go to movies. I watch them on DVD or pay-per-view. Most recent DVD I watched was "Hero."
|• Greatest achievement: Cover of Sports Illustrated
|• Greatest disappointment: Not yet representing the first pick of the NFL draft
|• Fantasy job: Member of the military's Special Forces unit
|• Business advice: Find a trusted partner like my brother, Jason Rosenhaus, to work with.
Sports Illustrated dubbed Rosenhaus "the most hated man in football" in a 1996 cover story, and his year of smashing records for signing players hasn't made him any friends in the agent business. That's because at least 32 of his 39 new clients had been signed to other agents, before the players fired them and signed with Rosenhaus.
Although a lot of rival agents complain about Rosenhaus, some have a grudging respect for him.
"Here is a guy who was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as the most hated man, and every agent in the country and a lot of NFL front-office types despised him, and he went on to build one of the biggest representation firms in the country in the face of it all," said veteran NFL player agent Jack Bechta. "I respect that. He has a place in our industry."
Rosenhaus has said that football representation is a business in which no one trusts anyone, which is why his brother is the only other contract agent in his company.
"Drew is, without a doubt, the most entertaining, dynamic and charismatic guy in the business of sports," said Jason Rosenhaus, Drew's younger brother and partner in Rosenhaus Sports.
The two grew up in the Miami area, sons of Robert Rosenhaus, a self-made businessman who owned a synthetic marble manufacturing company, Jason Rosenhaus said. Robert Rosenhaus became friendly with some players on the Miami Dolphins team, and players regularly came to dinner at the Rosenhaus home when Drew and Jason were growing up.
"Drew became enamored with these guys," Jason said, "and took a great deal of pride in being able to conversate with them about their business and the team, and he became in love with the Miami Dolphins."
Jason said that in addition to his father and the Dolphins who visited their home, Drew was deeply influenced by his boyhood Korean martial arts instructor.
The instructor "was an extreme disciplinarian," Jason said. "He took a special interest in Drew and took a soft, mama's boy and made him into a disciplined, aspiring student."
Drew gained "a mental toughness" from martial arts that he applied to his studies at the University of Miami and Duke Law School, and to his business as a sports agent.
Jason noted that, although other agents have accused his brother of stealing clients, and some of those agents have filed grievances with the NFL Players Association, not one of those complaints has been upheld.
"I know that other agents dislike us," Drew said. "But if you ever meet a person that doesn't say I am the hardest-working guy in this business, I would be surprised."
Drew said that he and his brother are "raising the standard" of the representation business. "If you don't want to lose your client to someone who works as hard as we do, then you are going to have to work hard," he said.
Rosenhaus said he negotiated contracts valued at more than $300 million last year, which included about $90 million in bonuses that were guaranteed. This offseason, Rosenhaus said he wants to negotiate $500 million in contracts, and that eventually he wants to negotiate $1 billion worth of contracts in one year.
"Why not?" he said. "It's never been done before, but it's a goal."

Just over a year ago, Microsott and Nokia rocked the technology world when they announced their new partnership. Though the original agreement meant Nokia would become Microsoft's go-to Windows Phone producer, rumors have swirled ever since that a Windows 8 tablet was on the cards, too.
According to a DigiTimes sources, the Nokia Windows 8 tablet could be arriving as soon as the 2012 holiday season. It's expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a 10-inch touchscreen display. If Nokia really is working on such a device, let's hope they're planning on utilizing that ultra-responsive 1ms prototype capacitive unit Microsoft Research demonstrated recently.
The tablet will also reportedly be built by Compal, who will no doubt be happy to assemble a device that won't require them to hand over royalty payments to Microsoft.
Skeptics may wonder whether Nokia would actually build a tablet. Their success has come from smaller devices, and forays into other areas — like the 10.1-inch Nokia Booklet laptop — haven't gone over all that well. But that was then and this is now.
Nokia has already shown that they're throwing their full weight behind Microsoft. In addition to the eye-catching Lumia phones already on the market, Nokia is preparing to unleash an army of low-cost Windows Phone Tango devices. They've already gotten plenty of hands-on experience coding Metro apps, and their developers will be able to port code from Lumia phones to a Lumia tablet with ease.
With the two companies working so closely now, it could even be a "Nexus" device, if Microsoft decides to take a page out of Google's book

Games for Windows Live might have a Christmas present for gamers this year. Speculations are doing the rounds on the internet that Windows Live might get its own arcade game download service ala Xbox Live Arcade. The theoretical service would allow Windows Live users to download fun arcade games just like their XBLA counterparts.
Microsoft had launched the Games for Windows Live service to provide a more wholesome online experience to PC gamers, which closely mimics the online experience on consoles. So, it is only but natural to expect an arcade games service to further the online experience of the PC gamers.
1UP is reporting that Microsoft has reposed in it the fact that an arcade service will hit Windows Live this holiday season (Chrismas 2007). Also, around that time, Microsoft will release a dev update for Games for Windows Live to pave the way for the arcade service. There is no idea about the list of games that would be available for download.
We will have to wait till Microsoft officially confirms the arcade service for Games for Windows Live.

Watch the Dark and Gritty 'Power Rangers' Reboot You've Always Wanted (or Dreaded)
As the kids of the '80s and early '90s are dragged kicking and screaming into middle age, their nostalgia for the things they enjoyed in childhood has only grown stronger. And Hollywood has responded in kind, taking those childhood obsessions and transforming them into movies that are specifically crafted to appeal to adults with fond memories instead of kids. That's why director Joseph Kahn's new grim 'n gritty Power Rangers short film is brilliant and unsettling in equal measure. On one hand, it's exquisitely made and just tongue-in-cheek enough. On the other, it's exactly the kind of movie that we're worried will actually get made in the next few years.
Spider-Man Rumor: Marvel's Spidey May Not Be White (or Peter Parker)
In news that will surely ignite all kinds of controversy, a new Spider-Man rumor has arrived on the internet suggesting that the new Peter Parker will not be played by a white guy. In fact, he could be played by (gasp!) a black or Latino actor! And, he might not even be Peter Parker!
2015 Oscars: Idina Menzel and John Travolta Meet at Last
Last year, John Travolta took the Oscar stage to introduce Idina Menzel so she could perform "Let It Go" from Frozen. What should have been a very simple, teleprompter-aided introduction quickly became a Big Deal when Travolta stumbled over his words. Instead of "Idina Menzel," Travolta said "Adele Dazeem." An internet meme was born and everyone added another great John Travolta joke to their repertoire. The 2015 Oscars decided to revisit that memorable flub and the results were weird, awkward, and yeah, pretty funny.
2015 Oscars 'In Memoriam' Segment Pays Tribute to Robin Williams, Mike Nichols and More
For many viewers, the Oscars are are chance to snark and make fun of everything that happens on stage (and can you blame 'em?). But then the "In Memoriam" segment comes around and reduces even the most cynical person to puddle of bubbling tears. The 2015 Oscars "In Memoriam" is no different, offering a whirlwind tour through a year's worth of beloved people who passed away. Get ready ... it's about to get a little dusty in here.
2015 Oscars: The Performance of "Everything Is Awesome" Is, of Course, Awesome
Although the Oscars infamously snubbed The LEGO Movie in the Best Animated Feature category, the joyous and hilarious movie got the last laugh at the ceremony itself. The film was nominated for its delightful song "Everything is Awesome!" and the live performance of the impossibly catchy number brought the house down and probably made everyone feel really bad about not giving the full movie its due.
2015 Oscars: Martin Scorsese Teams With Student Filmmakers for an Apple Commercial
The Oscars may not carry the same amount of commercial clout as the Super Bowl, but it still offers advertisers an opportunity to appeal to a very specific audience. In this case, it's Apple and legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese teaming up to sell the cinematic potential of the iPad. And yes, this commercial wants to tug on your heartstrings.
Oscar Winners Thank Steven Spielberg More Than Anyone Else, Including God
We all watch the Oscars for different reasons. Some watch for the sheer spectacle. Some watch to see if the movies they like actually win something. Some watch so they can drunkenly criticize what everyone is wearing. But in the end, it all comes down to all viewers doing the exact same thing: watching people thank other people for upwards of three hours. But which people have been thanked the most in 86 years of Oscar history? Someone with a lot of time on their hands decided to figure that out.
'Mission: Impossible 5' Takes a Break From Filming to Fix Its Ending
Every single film production hits snags and runs into problems. Some are just a little more public than others. Now, the troubles facing the upcoming Mission: Impossible 5 have become public and they certainly sound bad on paper: Production has been temporarily shut down while director Christopher McQuarrie rushes to fix what is apparently an "unsatisfactory" ending. That's an ominous sign for a movie that recently had its release date pushed up from December to July.
Louis C.K. Wants to Star in Neill Blomkamp's 'Alien' Movie and Die in Gruesome Fashion
Last night, we heard official word that 20th Century Fox was moving forward with director Neill Blomkamp's Alien sequel and today, we already have one actor expressing his desire to be in it! However, that actor may not be who you expect and his reason for wanting to be in the film is a little unusual. We are talking about the one and only Louis C.K., the comedian and star of FX's Louie, who wants to star in the new movie just so he can die a horrible onscreen death.
'Ghostbusters 3' Can Still Happen, According to Dan Aykroyd
When it was revealed that director Paul Feig was going to reboot Ghostbusters with an all-female cast, the general assumption was that Ghostbusters 3 was dead and buried. Gone forever. Kaput. Never to be mentioned again. But, Dan Aykroyd never got that memo. Aykroyd, who co-wrote and starred in the original films, has spent years talking up Ghostbusters 3 and he's not going to let silly little things like an actual, official, studio-sanctioned remake with a cast and release date get in the way.
'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales' Plot Synopsis Revealed as Filming Begins
After years of false starts and delays, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales finally began filming in Australia yesterday. And that's not a moment too soon for the franchise's star, Johnny Depp, who hasn't headlined a hit since 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. So, this brings up two important questions. First, will a fifth Captain Jack Sparrow adventure resuscitate Depp in a post-Mortdecai world? Secondly, can new directors Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning inject new life into a series that ran out of steam two movies ago?
SNL 40: Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg Pay Tribute to Breaking Character With New Digital Short
In between all of the tributes and montages and musical performances, the SNL 40th Anniversary Special actually found time for some original content. Right after a montage celebrating the short films that have been featured on the show over the years, Zach Galifianakis took to the stage to introduce a new digital short from Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler. Unlike most of Samberg's original shorts, which usually traded in genial silliness, this one looked inward and examined a subject that everyone who has ever been on the show should be familiar with: breaking character.

A VIOLENT criminal who went missing in Hampshire has been arrested by police.
Officers had issued an appeal for information to help capture Paul Heppenstall who they said had broken the conditions of his release from prison.
Members of the public were even urged not to approach the 30-year-old.
But he was arrested in Portsmouth late on Thursday night and is being transferred back to prison today.
Heppenstall was convicted of grievous bodily harm and sentenced to five years in prison in May 2010 for attacking a member of the public on Eastern Road, Portsmouth in October 2009.

A bomb exploded outside of a Citibank branch in Athens early Monday, causing some damage to the building but no injuries.
The bomb went off behind the building at 3 a.m. Monday (0100 GMT, 9 p.m. EDT Sunday) in the Nea Ionia district of the Greek capital, according to police statement.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attack.
The target pointed to Greek far-left militant groups, which have become increasingly aggressive following the police shooting of a 15-year-old boy in December – an incident that sparked the country's worst riots in decades.
Outside Citibank offices in Athens last month, police destroyed a car bomb that contained enough explosives to crumble a four-story building. There has been no claim of responsibility.

as i'm piecing my first "real" quilt, i noticed that no matter how carefully i pin things... my seams aren't lining up. after some arguing with myself and my machine, i started to realize that the two pieces of fabric are not going under the presser foot at the same rate. the lower piece of fabric is going through at a slightly faster rate.
for now, i'm mis-matching my seams to compensate. this is all fine and good for the next hour or so... until we go out to dinner... but i don't think it should be the way i do things long-term.
help, please.
thanks in advance

A brief programming note
I'll be traveling tomorrow and in New York the rest of the week for our Office Hours writers meetup. So the blog might be on a lighter publishing schedule for the rest of the week.
There will still be at least one post every day, and I've got some good ones lined up. But there might not be two every day, which is the norm. Then again: There might be. So now you know!

Huntsville, Here I come (in October)
Got an email from Dan "The Man" Wygant for the Huntsville .NET User Group. He has asked me to come back to Huntsville and do another talk on .NET for them. I went in the Fall of 2002 and did a talk on "ASP.NET Server Control Basics." We haven't settled on a topic yet, but I need to come up with a basic talk for them. I have done talks on Windows Services & Threading recently. If you have a good idea for another talk, please give me a suggestion.

What's that thing called when you break up with someone, both see other people and then decide you are going to get back together and have to pretend like the last 6 months never happened? Yeah. It's time for about 1000cc of that.
We went ice fishing today of all things. This is the level that the 2012-13 Lockout has reduced us all to. Trying to find other things to do while we waited for the stewards of our beloved NHL to wrap up ruining the game we love and charitably decide to get back to making billions and millions of dollars respectively.
While we sat in this little shack waiting for a fish to grace us with its slimy presence we were completely unplugged from twitter, internets, cell phonery and everything to do with communication.
You would have had to send a telegram to the local general store and had the pony express clip clop it out onto the ice to get us any news. In this most remote of locales the NHL lockout ended and we wouldn't know until about 3 PM MST.
The conversation with our fellow temporary fishermen centred on the obvious: the lockout and how we would all respond when it inevitably ended. Some of the boys were understandably frustrated with how long things have dragged on, the complete indifference from both sides to all us fans and swore that they would penalize the NHL one way or other when it finally got it's act together.
We will now write an article version of what we ranted at the top of our lungs. Oh and maybe a Lil Wayne video for some music.
Often times life can be a grind of day jobs, car repairs, jackass bosses and costly ear medicine bills mounting to the sky. Some of us may even have more serious issues to deal with - money problems, health scares, problems with the wife, dramas of so many sorts. The NHL provides an excellent distraction from all of this and has done so for many many years.
As an elementary school kid we used to shovel most of the neighbourhood's snow to afford season tickets to the Mighty Oil. Undoubtedly the youngest self paid ticket holder in the history of the club, we would go to games with our near totally blind Grandma on the bus and would sit up high in the seats of Rexall Place and cheer on some of the worst clubs in Oilers history.
Grandma Wanye listening with massive headphones on her portable radio and Young Wanye screaming and yelling a non-stop barrage of insults (the 2012 version can be read @wanyegretz) We would then make our way home and listen to the post game show until the angels carried us off to slumber. We missed probably 3 games in 5 years until high school and the prospect of University forced us to save our hard earned dough for other things.
These long seasons of losses piled to the sky in front of a half filled building with our Grandma forged us into an Oiler fan made of steel for all eternity. When we see King Jordan of Eberle super snipe a goal, the Nuge dingle dangle around 12 people or Devan Dubnyk muff an easy save we are brought back to those golden days and often smile thinking about how our now departed Grandma would be beside herself with excitement for this new team.
Why we are all super hockey fans - and make no mistake the Nation Network is the biggest of its kind on Earth so there are more of us here than anywhere else - has nothing to do with the Gary Bettman's and Donald Fehr's of the world. It has nothing to do with CBAs, economics, HRR or any of the other brown bananas we have been forced to watch and read about these past several months.
Our reasons for loving our particular team, particular players and why many of us will welcome hockey back with open arms is a personal tale and no two are the same. Make no mistake - we could give two shits about either side involved in this amazingly embarassing lockout. Both parties are riddled with the cancer of self entitlement who take us as fans completely for granted.
They have done irreversable damage to the business in many already shaky markets and it will take years to rebuild their fan basesif it can even be saved at all. Serves them right the bunch of jerks.
But we don't care.
As superfans we cheer for something bigger than all of the nonsense provided by the NHL. These people are merely employees of the game we love - not the game we love and that is an important distinction.
The most important thing for me is preserving the happiness, excitement and pure joy of watching the Oilers win/lose/tie that they have provided my entire life. Other sports don't do it. Other teams don't do it. Watching A&E marathons of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo or whatever other BS we have all busied ourselves with during the lockout doesn't do it either.
If that flame ever goes out a massive part of our life will be lost forever. It's far more important that ignore the clowns in the NHL/NHLPA and preserve that happiness that transports us back to being a kid because being happy is a choice not a right.
And so we choose to welcome back the NHL with open arms. Not because we agree with either side or because they appreciate all our attention, money and worship as fans. They are merely the tenants in the house we all love so much not the house itself. We will go back because we love the game.
It's the reason we started these sites, spent a ton subsidizing losses throughout this stupid lockout and will lead the team to bring them back stronger than ever with all of the supremely talented folk that write here and who can't wait to get back at it.
So protest if you want. We completely understand. But we are going back to business as usual.
Game on bitches.

Reading the Flames trolls trying to trash us here is absolutely comical! It seems our Oilers are oozing with excitement, and it's showing cuz the Phlegms fans can't really say anything good about the old balls team in the saddle.

Called this one too.
Called this one too.
Your next prediction should be that Oiler fans will be laughing, drinking, and rejoicing after the Oilers make the playoffs and the Flames find themselves in 12th place talking about a rebuild and whether or not Jay Feaster should be fired.
Three for three!
January 06 2013, 11:15PM
Well that's just silly, isn't it?
Well that's just silly, isn't it?
True, better to just fire Feaster now I guess.
This is more fun than last weeks big 'Disclosure of Interest' vs 'Full Decertification' debate.
Wow. I came back to the site to checkout some hockey blogging and was told to "eat sh1t"... Have you forgotten how to communicate you boob?...
Kent, am I mistaken in saying that the level of rivalry induced jabs from Oiler's Nations was at least not profane and insulting prior to the lockout? Merely one or the other? Sex sells, not coprophagy.
Hockey related, the "Nuge" was one of the worst captains to wear the C for Canada in an international tournament.
EDIT: Forgot to comment... nice retro video game graphic on the title shot... real fresh... was that a clever reference to the 2004 lockout or your best stuff? Been saving that for months I bet.
"Have you forgotten how to communicate you boob?" Oh the irony.
Oh, and this is our site- so if you don't like it, you can leave. Problem solved. :)
"Have you forgotten how to communicate you boob?" Oh the irony.

Johe, please click visit Flames Nation and understand. The great Wanye has the ability to communicate across the Nations crossposting articles for all to comment on.
"Have you forgotten how to communicate you boob?" Oh the irony.
Oh, and this is our site- so if you don't like it, you can leave. Problem solved. :)
It's not funny if you have to explain it Johe, but I invite you to anyway.
No! I will never visit the site that shall not be named!!

So...you guys come here often?
January 06 2013, 11:55PM
This oiler/flamer bashing is awesome. Lets keep it up. Better than anything posted here in months. It feels good to get your hate on.
January 07 2013, 12:13AM
Hey Wanye, how are you today?
January 07 2013, 12:23AM
Called this one too.
Mediocrity has come over flames fans like the plague. It's the best thing hearing a flames fans cheering, it's funny cuz it literally translates to
"We're # 10 !!!"
Flames you suck, and will suck for the next decade! While we go on our next tear!!! Later suckers...!
January 07 2013, 12:26AM
That's too bad, because you could have an actual team if you traded one of those little gaffers for enough of the Flames.
Name two...please. I'd love to know who you think we could use from your dusty squad.
So will it be hilarious like it has been, and still is for us to see you in the gutter? The triple Coilers eat a big bag of sh!t, laughing stock of the league. No goalie, no defense, no management, retarded fan base, recipe for suckcess.
Funny how two little words threw Flames fans into such a tizzy.
Masterful job Sir Wanye.
How will Yakapov fit in Edmonton if he does,nt like dirty?
Your NHL team is in about 12th place in the AHL. Looking good Oil!
January 07 2013, 08:43AM
There also only 9 points out of first place.
January 07 2013, 08:53AM
First off, bookofloob's jab about the first pick was really really funny.
Second, the ONLY people to be happy for in my mind are people whose normal livelihoods depend on NHL hockey - people that run bars, sell sh*t, work at the arena that shall not be named.
Those people I'm happy for.
Players and owners can drop off the face of the earth. And Smilin' Pat Laforge ain't gonna smooth that.

Shelbyville ,if you're so great, why is it that we beat you almost half the time?
There also only 9 points out of first place.
Your NHL team. Whoa! good comeback.
Your NHL team is in about 12th place in the AHL. Looking good Oil!
And where's your NHL team been the last 3 months?
January 07 2013, 11:53AM
I like that picture of the average Tuesday night house party in Edmonton.
January 07 2013, 12:15PM
Jay Feaster has a Stanley Cup ring. Tambellini was a Canuck. Your argument is invalid.
So we are back in junior high. "My AHL team is better that yours!"
But it is nice to see the love we have for each other. That's because Edmonton fans are insecure and Calgary fans regardless still have a much nicer city in view of the mountains with better looking women, Big Rock Beer and a world famous party called the Stampede.
January 07 2013, 01:23PM
I don't know why Calgary looks at our record for the last 5 years and laughs.. Atleast we got something out of it.
We laugh because the architects of your perpetual motion machine of atrociousness get promoted within your organization rather than let go.
We laugh because the once proud franchise that scared the hell out of us now finishes last with atomic clock precision.
We laugh because even your owner can't escape the vortex of suckitude that is Edmonton and threatens to move the team to Seattle after he was uncomfortable with the size of the bribe he extracted from your city council.
We laugh because if douche-bags were people you'd be China.
"We laugh because the architects of your perpetual motion machine of atrociousness get promoted within your organization rather than let go."
Yeah, too bad we aren't smart and fire the bums like you did with that Darryl Sutter guy.

Album Rating: 3.5Album is so fun
Album Rating: 3.5Yes it is. This is my first review, I've had the album for a few days and I really like it. Not the most impressive music but it's fun and catchy and there's not enough music around today of just artists having fun making music.
Okay, so I'll get this
Album Rating: 3.5Buckley's vocals are really really good on this
Album Rating: 3.5I'd say the single is the best track Dev and you should base getting this off that. I see this album
having an average between 3-3.5 and may be a little underwhelming for some.
And yea, Buckley rules on this, he fits perfectly as a the frontman of a rock band.

Great review JWT, esp for a first
Digging: Desolate Shrine - Deliverance From The Godless Void

Album Rating: 3.5Well dammit he has been here long enough, he should have a first this good
i didn't notice this was JWT because it just says Jim at the top so i didn't expect it to be an older sputniker.

Album Rating: 3.5Nevermind... thanks all for the kind words, definitely check this out.
get rid of the bolding. nice review.
Album Rating: 3.5good review. the album is enjoyable.
Album Rating: 3.0None of the songs are as good as We've Got a Situation Here. Some come close but a few tracks such as A Great Reckoning are pretty bad. I'm a little underwhelmed, I expected this would be a 4 for me. I might not rate this because neither 3 or 3.5 really sit right.
Album Rating: 3.0Does anyone think that Keith Buckley would ever leave ETID if this band became extremely popular? I really hope not.
kinda interested in how this would turn out, but its boring. oh well

Sound — 9
The Black Angels have released a unique modern album, taking influences from especially The Velvet Underground in their usage of drones as well as Jesus and the Mary Chain, and the Doors, but less depressing. In it we have stomping drums that sound out especially on tracks such as "Young Men Dead" which sounds like some sort of death march, and the heavy kick drums on "Sniper At The Gates Of Heaven". The guitar is fitted with electro distortion on most songs, and combined with full chords, and sometimes bluesy riffs, the guitar fits in nicely with the music. Heavy bass often accompanies this, but the most original part, that has not been used in rock for a while is the drone machine on a lot of this songs, this creates a dark atmosphere, that sounds gloomy but catchy at the same time. The album finishes with the epic 18 minute "Call To Arms" which has a bluesy intro and main part, then silence for six minutes, with an acoustic hidden track at the end.
Lyrics — 8
The lyrics half snarl, half loom around the music, the lyrics of the songs have an apocalytic feel, as the lead singer rages on about war, "The First Vietnamese War" that compares the Vietnam War with the Iraq war now or God, and other topics. With the punding bass and guitar, the vocal rythms are structured well, though sometimes they veer slightly off, and they don't quite fit in, but with the apocalyptic chaos and heavy cymbals crashing, these often go unoticed.
Overall Impression — 9
The Black Angels have created a unique album for the time at the moment, it is a brilliant debut deserved of recognition. They have created an album that fans of the Velvet Underground should like, (their name is from a velvet underground song), though the songs may wear out and become slightly repetitive, awesome tracks such as "The First Vietnamese War" and Young Men Dead", never get dull.

I'm Sunanda Vaidheesh, a Product Strategy Manager at Pearson Education, and this is how I work:
Location: Boston, MA
Current gig: Product Strategy Manager at Pearson Education (Higher Ed)
Current mobile device: iPhone 4S
Current computer: 13'' Macbook Air (home), 15'' Macbook Pro with a 27'' Apple Thunderbolt Display (work)
One word that best describes how you work: Temperament-aware.
What apps/software/tools can't you live without?
Balsamiq & Adobe Photoshop (for early stage prototyping), Text Edit & Google Docs (for brainstorming and the latter for collaborating on and keeping meetings on track on conference calls), moleskin notebook (for focused note-taking on meetings and conference calls to resist email distractions), TripIt for iOS (for staying organized with work travel), and both Dropbox and Spotify are a dream when you're working across multiple devices and need to be ready to go, whether working from home or from the office.
What's your workspace like?
I'm very conscious about space, energy levels, and task types, so I try to mix and match the kinds of tasks I have to get done with my energy level and where I can best optimize different kinds of thinking. For example, at the office, if I need to get a good chunk of writing done, I try to carve out about two hours and move down to the 8th floor lounge area and park myself at a desk by the large windows overlooking the city—there's something about lots of light and the coffee shop buzz of activity around me that I've found inspires focused writing.
Alternatively, if my day requires me to be more desk-bound, I mentally set aside one side of my cubicle desk area for email, scheduling, and down-to-the-details type work and the opposite side for big-picture ideas and brainstorming type work.
Finally, as I work from home about once a week, I try to employ that same principle of different spaces for different kinds of thinking—yes, even within the constraints of my tiny studio.
What's your best time-saving trick?
Rather than spending precious high energy level time for dealing with email overload, I turn to The Email Game at around 2pm, when I'm feeling the afternoon slump hit, to slam through several hundred emails in one shot and feel like a productive ninja, rather than a post-lunch zombie.
What's your favorite to-do list manager?
A combination of Workflowy (for long-term, large-scale project/task management) and my Moleskin notebook (for day-to-day "what do I need to accomplish today?" lists) is currently what I use. I've tried a variety of mobile and desktop tools, and Workflowy seems to strike that balance of simple and lightweight enough to get a quick snapshot of where you stand and what needs to get done, but also robust enough to capture the complexity and nested dependencies of projects in many cases. I do also like that you can capture deadlines and due dates by adding hashtags to tasks, letting you file away some items as #somedayeventually and #todaynoreallyTODAY.
Besides your phone and computer, what gadget can't you live without?
My wireless phone headset—given the amount of time I spend on the phone with my coworkers who are spread across the country, it really helps to be able to walk up and down the floor while on a call to get some energy and mobility injected into my work day. It also anticipates the problem of getting tangled up in your phone cord as you spin around in your desk chair—just sayin'.
What everyday thing are you better at than anyone else?
Reorganizing & redecorating a room, given its existing furniture, art, and appliances. Having moved around a lot as a kid and having always loved putting together puzzles, I very quickly mastered the real life puzzle-piece challenge of reconfiguring furniture in a new space for optimum living comfort. I'm also a pro at alphabetizing things.
What are you currently reading?
I find that I devour non-fiction books (particularly the behavioral economics/psych-meets-econ variety) with the same intensity that I used to reserve for fiction when I was younger. My most recent pick is "Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn" by Cathy Davidson, which has been just great so far.
I am trying to read more fiction these days and I recently read (and loved) "When We Wake" by Karen Healy and am excited to begin "Adaptation" by Malinda Lo. Both fall into my fiction genre of choice, science fiction and fantasy YA, that I've found really has gotten better as a genre, as I've grown older.
What do you listen to while you work?
Depends on the kind of work I'm trying to get done. It ranges from acoustic instrumentals (The Piano Guys or The Goat Rodeo Sessions), to a capella covers (Pentatonix or Straight No Chaser), to soundtracks from musical TV shows (Nashville or SMASH).
Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert?
I'm a self-described introvert, and using Susan Cain's framework for understanding introversion and extroversion, I get my energy from solitude and time to myself to recharge. As my work (and corporate America, more generally) does call for a lot of many-to-many people-facing interactions, I've developed a couple strategies that work well for me: 1) at big group gatherings and networking events, I try to avoid the large group conversations but instead seek out one person at a time to have a meaningful conversation with one-on-one; if I can do this with two to three people over the course of the event, I consider myself successful 2) for meetings, presentations, and big-group conference calls I need to facilitate, I make sure to write down several phrases, sentences, and sometimes paragraphs of key points I want to make sure get communicated by the end of the call, key conversation guiders to ensure that the group stays on task, and key phrases to open and close the meeting. As lack of preparation for these big group meetings tends to be what stresses me out the most, I over-prepare and save myself social anxiety.
What's your sleep routine like?
Bed time: midnight. Wake up time: 7:30am. Without ~7 hours of sleep, I get cranky, end of story.
Fill in the blank: I'd love to see ______ answer these same questions.
Sarah Rees Brennan.
What's the best advice you've ever received?
Find your voice and what you stand for early on, and let that sound loud and proud. What makes you special, in your youth, is that energy, passion, and clarity of voice—not your ability to parrot everyone else's tired and tried ideas and lackluster vision.
At the end of the day, the key to productive work is to love what you do. Amidst so much advice about which software and tool will make your work most productive, I worry that we forget the crux of what makes focus, and drive, and good work happen. For that reason, this one piece of advice really resonated with me.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I certainly am victim to the "track ALL the data!" epidemic, but I have found that using tools like RescueTime, at the end of the day, tells me what I already know. While it can be helpful to get a diagnostic of how your time is being spent, particularly, if you're struggling with figuring out how to optimize your productivity, I would caution against overdoing it. Does it help to quantify this information? Sure. Should apps like this run your life? Most definitely not!

Lake tribal college is starting a basketball team, under the direction
of a local legend. The team will host an exhibition game Saturday
against Turtle Mountain (N.D.), and Red Lake sees the addition of
a basketball team as a chance to grow its prestige and enrollment.
LAKE, Minn. Gerald Kingbird still remembers his stats.
"I scored 19 points in the fourth quarter,"
he says.
That includes 13 points in the final 1:15
of regulation in the 1997 Minnesota State High School basketball
semifinals, leading the Red Lake High School Warriors from behind,
only to lose 117-113 to Wabasso in overtime. They were the first
all-Native team to reach the state tournament.
The people of Red Lake still remember
that team.
Saturday, Kingbird will help start a new
basketball tradition by launching the Red Lake Nation College basketball
team as its coach.
"It's exciting," he said.
Although the game will only be an exhibition
and the players may not end up on the college team, it's meant to
generate excitement for the team's launch, potentially next fall.
Until then, they'll be busy recruiting players.
The college also will be raising funds
Saturday for its upcoming expansion project.
In December, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Rural Development Program announced the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe
will receive a $21 million loan that will help build a new college
and government center a project that will create a new hub
for the community on the shores of Lower Red Lake north of Bemidji.
Dan King, the college's president, said
they hope to raise about $10,000 from the game.
Currently the college can hold about 130
students, which will increase to about 525 once the new school is
built, King said. The basketball team, nicknamed the Migizi (Eagles),
will play on the court in the current college building, which just
received a new floor in the past few months.
Kingbird said having a college basketball
team will give players an outlet for their skills once they're done
with high school.
"The younger guys coming out of high school,
they might not have anything to do," Kingbird said. "Maybe this
team will get them involved in a college program."
Once that basketball team is established,
King said a women's team will likely follow. After that, sports
will be introduced based on student interest.
King said they'll be playing in the Northern
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, along with schools like Oak
Hills Christian College.
Kingbird's return
The Warriors' run to the state
tournament in 1997 caught the attention of media outlets across
the state and nation.
Last year, the St. Paul Pioneer Press
named Kingbird one of the 20 greatest players in state tournament
history. He also was asked to participate in a ceremony at the 100th
anniversary of the state tournament last year.
"It's kind of a legend," King said of
the 1997 team.
After high school, Kingbird moved on to
Bemidji State University, but a full-time job and school kept him
from continuing a basketball career, he said. He now works at the
Seven Clans Casino in Red Lake.
But Kingbird didn't stay far away from
the game, playing in recreation leagues as well as coaching seventh-grade
basketball for the past six years. He was approached by King last
year to see if he had any interest in coaching a college team.
King said Kingbird will be a major asset
in recruiting players in the coming months. Some of those players,
he said, likely saw Kingbird play in high school.
"He's such a good role model and very
humble," King said. "He has the kind of personality that people
gravitate towards."
And on Saturday, he'll participate in
a three-point competition at halftime.
"A lot of people want to see that," King
said. "They want to see Gerald."
Going forward
It's only natural that the college's
first sport will be basketball, the most popular sport in Red Lake.
Ron Lussier said when he started a recreation
league in Red Lake, a town of about 1,700 poeple, eight teams were
signed up. Now it's up to 16.
"I know there are some good players out
there," King said. He added that women make up 65 percent of the
current enrollment. King hopes that a basketball team will generate
interest from men who wouldn't otherwise go to college there.
"I think the main issue is that we haven't
had anything to offer them," King said. "Now
they'll see
people with Red Lake Nation College uniforms and seeing that nice
court and say 'Wow.'"
Thank You

Top 6 Benefits Micro Learning Offers To Train Your Sales Force [Infographic]
Sales reps are always busy, selling your products all over, all the time. Their roles and responsibilities hardly permit them to attend a regular classroom training session. Today, sales reps are constantly on the move and need training that is specific, focused, and accessible from anywhere and anytime.
Do you want to train your sales staff on time?
Microlearning comes handy here by making life easy for sales reps in taking the training.
Microlearning refers to the delivery of training content in the form of information nuggets, each no longer than 10 minutes. It helps keep your employees motivated and more engaged through short, focused pieces. And by the way, it can be developed easily and help sales managers train staff in time.

Ouch! Looks like Ben Affleck's endured his worst beating since Gigli!
PHOTOS: Ben Sports Black Eye
Actually we're not sure how he got his black eye, but the A-list hunk was clearly sporting a shiner while picking his daughter Violet up from school in Los Angels on Thursday.
The Pearl Harbor star was accompanied by his wife, Jennifer Garner.

With only one pending project listed on his IMDb page, the 38-year-old Good Will Hunting star seems to have put show business on the back burner for the time being, to enjoy his family.

Your configuration files might be on the sd card.
i take the momery card out of my wii, start usb loader gx with my HDD connected, games are formatted correctly, usb loader begins to start and then my wii restarts itself
what am i doing wrong here?
Your configuration files might be on the sd card.
doesnt work with it in either, same problem
also tried neogamma and same problem occurs, im thinking the cIOS 220 222 and 223 i installed is causing the problem
Usb loader gx can be set to run off of 222 or 249, look at the settings and see what it is. Also the cios files should have been installed onto 249. Did you actually do the softmod and install the original ciosrev14 onto ios249?
yes i did put it on 249, in the usb loader settings which should i have it running on?

As we pass the mid-point of August, many minds have turned to evaluating this summer's tourism business. One of Talkeetna's many appealing factors to tourists is the excellent fishing prospects of the upper Susitna Valley waterways. This year, however, has not been without its challenges to the sport fishing industry. The early closure of the King Salmon fishery dealt a blow to the many guiding services that call Talkeetna home, and low escapement numbers of coho, or silver, salmon downriver have caused some concern that the season may be in for more bad news.
In order to assess the impact on our local fishermen, KTNA spoke with local fishing guides Rhett Nealis of Phantom Salmon Charters and Peter Mathiesen of Alaska Wilderness River Fishing Guides. Both guides related that silvers are still being regularly caught upstream of Talkeetna, and that their respective guiding services have remained busy despite the early closure of Kings.
Mathiesen explained that any early closure of a fishery, even the discussion of an early closure as in the case of coho salmon, can be a cause for concern, as many trips are booked well in advance under the assumption of a fixed length for the season. When that fishery is closed early, it leaves guides having to find alternatives in order to provide their clients with a positive fishing experience.
Looking toward the future and the impact of shortened or even eliminated seasons, Mathiesen's greatest concern was for communication between the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the sport fishermen. While he believes that conservation is important since, as he put it, "all of us want rivers full of fish," he also stressed that early and ample communication are key in order to make sure that fishing guides can plan their business accordingly. When asked about the potential for losing one or two King Salmon seasons altogether, Mathiesen again expressed a need for adequate warning, "Don't give us a season and then take it away."
For now, late season salmon and trout continue to be caught upstream, and the guides are staying busy.

Tesco is dipping its toes into the competitive yet lucrative tablet market with Hudl - pronounced 'huddle'.
Hitting over 1,000 stores from the end of September, if you are a Tesco shopper you'll see a lot of this seven-inch Android tablet before Christmas.
But what's so good about the Tesco Hudl? And is it worth buying?
Why is Tesco making a tablet?
Research from IDC found that in 2012, Apple had a 43.6% market share of the worldwide tablet market. It's a slight drop from 2011, but still gives it nearly three times as much of the market as the number two and three vendors, Samsung (15.1%) and Amazon (11.5%).
In short, the tablet market is dominated by one manufacturer and massively competitive for its other entrants. So why would Tesco want to make its own tablet?
According to Ofcom, a quarter of UK households own a tablet. That's three quarters that do not, and it's these people that Tesco is targeting.
According to Tesco's research, potential tablet owners are put off by the expense of tablets and intimidated by the technology.
"We want more of our customers to access the benefits of tablets. It's for the many, not for the few," said Tesco's Chief Executive Philip Clarke.
Retailing for £119, the Hudl is certainly affordable, yet Tesco confirmed that it's a price point it can still make money from.
The tablet market is competitive, but the number of Tesco stores in the UK mean the Hudle can reach hundreds of thousands of potential customers.
And let's not forget it's also a useful device for pushing the supermarket giants' other products and services.
Who is it aimed at?
Tesco thinks tablets – essentially large smartphones - are more accessible than PCs.
With the Hudl Chief Marketing Officer Matt Atkinson said: "We want it to be something all our customers can embrace and enjoy. Affordable, accessible and colourful."
The supermarket giant worked with customers to develop and test the Hudl – in fact the name (which if you ask us is pretty terrible), was chosen by customers – signifying a way of bringing people together.
At the launch Tesco previewed a couple of television adverts which focused on very different types of users – elderly people, children and young people – some who may not traditionally be seen as tablet users.
The Hudl is very much a family tablet. The first time the tablet is launched, an on-screen overlay appears asking parents if the tablet will be used by children and providing advice on how to set up the device to ensure your child uses it safely.
Is it any good?
Tesco seems pretty confident the Hudl's specifications can stand up to its rivals. Certainly the spec sheet looks impressive.
Pick up the device and it feels well built – certainly nicer than some of the cheaper tablets we've used, with a comfortable soft-touch back. Uniquely for some tablets, it comes in four colours - black, blue, red and purple.
Inside there's a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, which should ensure it can handle gaming, streaming music and movies as well as day-to-day tasks like browsing.
It runs Android Jelly Bean, which is the most popular version of Google's operating system used. Specifically 4.2, with 4.3 still only available to Nexus devices. Tesco could not confirm to us yet whether it would be updated to Android KitKat when the new OS is released later this year.
The Hudl has a seven-inch 1440x900-pixel HD screen, which should be sharper than the iPad Mini's 7.9-inch 1024x769 pixel resolution, but not as sharp as the Nexus 7's seven-inch Full HD 1920x1200 display. Bear in mind, though, that both these tablets are significantly more expensive than the Hudl at £269 and £199 respectively.
There's a fairly standard 16GB of storage, which is expandable using a memory card. Wi-fi and Bluetooth are on board and the Hudl also includes an HDMI out – a useful feature for playing back movies on a flatscreen television.
There's no 3G for getting online on the go.
At 3-megapixels and 2-megapixels respectively (without a flash), the camera specs aren't fantastic, but will be fine for video calls.
Surely Tesco is going to use it to push its other services?
Over the last few years Tesco has shown it's not afraid to diversify into new areas. It sells mobile phones and in 2011 it bought movie streaming service BlinkBox.
The tablet will include a dedicated button providing access to Tesco services such as BlinkBox, Groceries and Clubcard.
Three bespoke apps have been designed for the device - BlinkBox Movies, BlinkBox Music and ClubCard TV, while BlinkBox Books is coming soon.
Tesco also hopes you'll use the tablet to shop. It confirmed the tablet is part of its multichannel strategy where customers can use the tablet to shop "whenever, however and wherever they want".
Certainly if you are a Tesco customer, the Hudl provides instant and convenient access to multiple services.
However If you are not a Tesco customer you'll still be able to access alternative services and apps from the Google Play Store - unlike Amazon's Kindle tablets, which only provide access to the Amazon App Store.
Should I get the Tesco Hudl?
First impressions of the Tesco Hudl are impressive. It offers great functionality at a very reasonable price.
There are cheaper tablets out there, but they don't offer specs like quad-core processor or run the latest version of Android. And it's £80 cheaper than the Google Nexus 7.
If you have been collecting Clubcard points, the Hudl is even better value – you can exchange it for £60's worth of vouchers.
And as Tesco points out – with 1,000 stores around the UK, customers can easily bring it back into a store for customer support.
So what's the catch?
Well the tablet doesn't offer 3G, but that's not particularly problematic - there are more wi-fi only tablets, than 3G-ready tablets.
Certainly selling the Hudl for just £119, Tesco isn't going to make a great deal of money from each tablet. Instead it will be hoping, when customers buy it, they'll experiment with services like Blinkbox for movies, and later (we expect) download e-books from Blinkbox Books, spending more money. Tesco isn't forcing users to download purely from its own app store and it's own eco-system.
So at the moment, we can't see a catch. Tesco could just be expecting high sales from its huge customer base.
We only had a brief hands-on with the Hudl, but first impressions are promising. We'll bring you a full review very soon.

Welcome to the STATE QUIZ
"We're extremely amused by the mere prospect of this quiz, let alone the results." -USA Today
Internet quizzes are increasing in popularity almost as quickly as the internet itself. Yet as they grow in number, the number of answers each one offers still has yet to consistently follow suit. Most of them yield a handful of results, almost never more than 10, without giving the quiz-taker a chance to really feel like their life has made a difference. Here at the Blue Pyramid, we have a stated solution. We're giving you a third quiz with real variety... with 64 (sixty-four) different possible outcomes! It's better than a Choose Your Own Adventure book!
Like the prior quizzes, there are only 6 (six) questions that you need to answer to find your exact stately match! Rather than spending your entire day giving us details about yourself, we'll give you the details after getting just six responses.
Given that there are so few questions, please think carefully about each answer. The state of, well, your state depends on it!
Click here to see the results of the State Quiz, with both weekly and overall totals! These were updated from July-October 2004.
Just for the record, I really hope no one gets offended by any of this. At times, I try to add some humor into the world of states, and if I'm not amusing to you, just know I wasn't trying to offend anyone. I just think states and the United States as a whole are funny sometimes, and the jokes are meant in good fun.
How to link the State Quiz on your website!
E-mail the creator of the State Quiz!
If you've done the math, you may have already discovered that there are only 50 states, not 64. We'll leave it to you to discover what has qualified as a "state" to make up the difference!
For the first time in Blue Pyramid quizzes, all graphics for the result pages were designed by Storey Clayton. They were, however, based upon images borrowed from a variety of sources. These images were entirely overhauled in November 2009. Special thanks go to:
Flags of the World for flag images,
About Geography for map images, and
to all those who have donated to The Blue Pyramid and supported us over the years!
Title Max has offices in seventeen different states. Car and motorcycle Title Max title loans are available in some states, while car and motorcycle title pawns are options in other states.

The Kentucky Senate race is shaping up to be the top money race in the nation.
Within minutes of each other on Friday afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes announced their large fourth quarter hauls: $2.2 million for McConnell and $2.1 million for the Democrat running to unseat him.
McConnell, who has been building his warchest for years, has a substantial cash on hand advantage. The minority leader is sitting on a staggering $10.9 million, while Grimes's campaign says she has "almost" $3.5 million. Still, while Grimes can focus on the general election, McConnell also a primary challenge to contend with. Tea partier Matt Bevin has nowhere near the cash McConnell does, but he did raise nearly $900,000 in the fourth quarter — nothing to sneeze at — and will have some outside group help as well.
Only two other sitting senators hit the $2 million mark last quarter, and no other challengers did so.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who take certain drugs for depression known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may have a higher-than-average risk of developing cataracts, a study from Canada hints.
Among about 18,700 Quebec residents aged 65 and older with cataracts and 187,000 age-matched Quebec residents without cataracts, study chief Dr. Mahyar Etminan, of Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and University of British Columbia, and colleagues found that people taking SSRIs were 15 percent more likely to be diagnosed with cataracts than those not taking these drugs.
While the study does not allow for calculating a person's actual risk of developing cataracts with SSRI use, Etminan noted that the average lifetime risk of developing cataracts for someone in North America above the age of 50 is approximately 20 percent.
In general, SSRIs roughly increase the risk to 23 percent, the researcher noted.
However, "SSRI therapy should not be stopped for fear of cataracts, which are treatable and relatively benign," Etminan told Reuters Health.
"The benefits of treating depression, which can be life-threatening, still outweigh the risk of developing cataracts," the researcher emphasized.
Different SSRIs may pose different risks. For example, current users of fluvoxamine (Luvox) had a 39 percent higher chance of being diagnosed with cataracts and a 51 percent higher chance of having cataract surgery. With venlafaxine (Effexor), one's risk may be roughly 26 percent higher than average and with fluvoxamine, it may be 30 percent higher.
Current venlafaxine (Effexor) users had a 33 percent higher likelihood of cataracts and a 34 percent higher likelihood of cataract surgery, while taking paroxetine (Paxil) carried a 23 percent higher risk of cataract surgery.
In the current study, current use of fluoxetine (Prozac), citalopram (Celexa), and sertraline (Zoloft) did not seem to raise the odds of cataracts or cataract surgery. And past use of any SSRI also did not appear to pose a risk.
"We found different risks with different agents. However, we don't want to dwell on this with just one study and think whether the risk is different with different agents should be validated in future studies," Etminan said.
Smoking is a key risk factor for cataracts and "the main limitation of the study," Etminan told Reuters Health, "is not being able to control for smoking as this information was not available."
Still, this is the first study to find a link between SSRI antidepressants and cataracts in humans, while earlier studies have suggested that was true in animals.
Nonetheless, the study does not prove that taking SSRIs can cause cataracts; it only reveals an association between the two. Clearly, more study is needed, the researchers conclude.
SSRIs are one of the most frequently prescribed class of drugs in the US and the third most prescribed class globally.
