Review for Exchange Club Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse-Jefferson County AL, Inc., Birmingham, AL, USA
I have been an Exchange Club member since 1989, but I didn't really know what the Exchange Club Family Skills Center did until I joined the board. The Family Skills Center is the "Instruction Book" you don't get when you get your bundle of joy at the hospital. The center can answer all those questions about how to nurture your child and give them the best parenting there is. The classes help protect our most valuable asset, our children.

"Should I continue to hold this stock as it just hit an all-time high?"
I've been faced time and time again with this question, and while providing short-term insight is beyond my intended scope here — this is up to any reader's specific financial situation — I wanted to elaborate more on how I think about stocks that have hit all-time highs.
Stocks represent a claim on the company's stream of earnings. If the earnings (per share) grow, the share price likely will follow sooner or later. It is possible to see the EPS of a company grow diagrammatically and see the shares decline dramatically, but in my experience, this is much less relevant for long-term investors.
One of the most extreme examples I have encountered is Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU[1]), which from year-end 2007 to year-end 2008 grew EPS from $18.11 to $30.19 (pre-split) — a 66.7% increase — yet the shares declined from $389 to $130 (pre-split) in the same period — a 66.5% decline.
A 66% EPS increase is almost never followed by a 66% share price drop, so you can mark that one for the record books as "a 100-year storm." Companies that grow earnings faster than their respective industries and the market tend to outperform over time than the relevant industry or stock market benchmark index.
Sometimes, rapidly growing companies will see their share prices get ahead of themselves, and their stock will bounce in a trading range for a long time until the earnings catch up with the share price. But if EPS keep growing, in my experience, the share price tends to react positively sooner or later.
With the above in mind, let's look at four market leaders that are at, or close to, all-time highs: Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[2]), Chipotle (NYSE:CMG[3]), Lorillard (NYSE:LO[4]) and MasterCard (NYSE:MA[5]).
When I looked at the four, Lorillard stuck out like a sore thumb. I tend to follow the other three pretty closely in the course of my regular work, but I had somehow missed Lorillard. I thought it was an "interest rate" thing, but there is more to it.
(Since the Fed has chased income investors from the Treasury market by suppressing interest rates, income investors are hiding in high-dividend paying groups like utilities, MLPs, pharmaceuticals and — of course — tobacco stocks, pushing their dividend yields 20% or more below their five-year averages. The same goes for junk bonds[6].)
The reason for my surprise to see Lorillard in the high-fliers group was the overall state of the U.S. tobacco market. Other U.S. tobacco stocks are at or close to all-time highs, but generally they are not earnings stories. U.S. cigarette volumes peaked in 1981 and have been falling with smoker rates despite positive population growth. In this situation, most U.S. tobacco companies have been paying healthy dividends and cutting costs to boost payouts; Lorillard is doing all of the above, but it also is growing EPS[7] and revenues, which most of its American competitors have not been able to do.
For the latest reported quarter, adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 26.4% versus last year to $2.20, and annual adjusted diluted EPS increased 16.2% versus last year to $7.88 — both record amounts. Net sales in the fourth quarter increased 8.9% from last year to $1.618 billion. Annual net sales increased 9% versus last year to $6.466 billion. (In the tobacco industry, I had become accustomed to seeing erratic earnings and flattish revenues, which clearly is not the case here.)
It appears Lorillard is aggressively taking away market share in a stagnant market. Lorillard's domestic retail market share once again posted gains in the fourth quarter of 2011, increasing 0.8 share points to a market share of 14%. This is due to the popularity of its menthol brands like Newport (and non-menthol products under the same name) as well as increasing popularity of its discount brands thanks to constantly rising prices in the industry.
Lorillard (NYSE:LO[4]) does not have international exposure, as it sold all such international rights in 1977. Emerging markets are much less hostile to tobacco companies than developed markets, though Lorillard is reporting operational performance like an emerging-market tobacco company — which is absolutely not the case.
I don't know how long Lorillard can keep it up in the present environment, but it has a 4.5% dividend covered by a 65% payout ratio. The company is small enough to continue to gain market share even in a stagnant or slowing market, but also big enough to be able to flex muscles against the Nos. 1 and 2 players.
It is amusing to hear that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[2]) is expensive "above $600." The shares trade at 17.9 trailing and 12.5 forward EPS, which in my book is cheap given the staggering EPS growth[8]. Faced with the law of large numbers, investors expect the same dollar growth in EPS to be a smaller percentage every time it is reported because the comparison base will be much bigger.
Still, Apple keeps surprising us.
Apple holds a combined 60% market share in tablet and smartphone operating systems. Given that Apple does not license its software, the hardware belongs to it, too. Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG[9]) Android operating system has made great progress against Apple in the smartphone market, but when it comes to tablets, the competition is simply pathetic at this point. Sure, better Android tablets will come to market likely this year, but there has yet to be one on par with iPad.
Apple has only 7% market share in personal computers worldwide, and that market share is rising. I don't know what type of new devices will come from Apple, but I know there is more market share to take away from Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT[10]) Windows and that the iPhone, as great as it is, probably can be made better. So a wave of upgrades is likely assured for some time to come, resulting in steady earnings growth over the intermediate term.
MasterCard (NYSE:MA[5]) has had somewhat more erratic EPS growth[11] compared to the four high-fliers discussed here, but this is because of legal settlements. Revenues[12] have shown much steadier growth, and with the leveling of the playing field between MasterCard and main competitor Visa (NYSE:V[13]) — more on that here[14] — it is difficult to see how EPS growth will slow given the low penetration of electronic transactions in emerging markets.
As for Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG[3]), the last of our four high-fliers, there is ample room for growth in the U.S. and especially abroad, where the expansion has just begun to gain momentum. Chipotle has 1,230 restaurants and is looking to open another 150 in 2012. The company successfully tested the ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen concept[15], and given the massive success it has had with organic made-to-order Mexican food, it will be interesting to see how/if they roll out the new Asian concept aggressively.
Chipotle is not a cheap stock, trading at 39 times next year's EPS estimates, but there isn't another major fast food chain that grows as fast, with 23.7% YOY revenue gains in the latest quarter while maintaining healthy operating margins of 15.7%. This growth is unlikely to slow given the international expansion and the exciting new Asian concept.

"TRUCC Act" would remove middle man, ensure truckers are paid for gas
The Teamsters Union on Thursday urged Congress to pass the "TRUCC Act," which would lower fuel costs for non-union truck drivers.
The "Truthful Reliable Understanding of Consumer Costs Act" would guarantee that truckers who pay for fuel will be reimbursed the full amount of any surcharge levied by shippers.
The bill was sponsored by Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine.
"Non-union owner-operator truck drivers are going broke because of fuel prices," Hoffa said. "Since they're the ones paying for diesel, they're the ones who should be reimbursed for the entire amount of any fuel surcharge."
For most non-union truckers who haul containers from US ports or over the road, their broker or trucking company refuses to pay for fuel, maintenance and operating expenses.
To defray the rising cost of fuel, many trucking customers pay a fuel surcharge. Many non-union trucking companies pocket some or all of the surcharges instead of passing them along to their drivers.
"This bill won't affect our members because their employers pay for fuel directly," Hoffa said. "Still, we stand in solidarity with truck drivers struggling to make ends meet because they have to bear the entire financial burden of owning and operating their vehicles.
"The TRUCC Act will provide some short-term relief for non-union truck drivers," he said.

Life has been a blur the past few days since his arrival! But other than the normal adjustments with life with a busy toddler I feel more prepared for him than I did with the girls homecoming.
Caden is super sweet,silly and loves to be held ...all the time ! He comes over to me with his arms up and calls "mama" or "up" .
Caden loves to eat ! And at a whopping 27 pounds my poor little back is feeling his love of food :) Ava did not even plot for weight on the growth charts, Pei plotted at 3 percentile and this little fella plotted at the 50 percentile right out of the gate:)
Jury is still out on his love for the dog and cat ! He is telling Tex to sit with hand signals and also ushering him away . I can see how they could be really scary to a little guy that has never seen a furry , licking creature wanting to be his constant companion. I believe that in time Tex and Caden will be the best of friends !
Since being home for just a couple of days he has acquired five simple English words and loves his mama :)

Contracts to buy previously-owned U.S. homes fell in November to their lowest level in nearly a year, which was seen by many as a sign that rising interest rates could be weighing on the housing market. Indonesian shares, which closed at their highest since mid-December on Wednesday, rose as much as 1.2 percent to hit a 2-week high, their third consecutive session of gains. "Indonesia promises to provide significant yields next year due to improvement of their fundamentals," said Manny Cruz, an analyst with Manila-based Asiasec Equities Inc. "Well, it's one of the most favoured markets next year aside from India and Vietnam." Consumer stocks and financials led the gainers, with Bank Central Asia, the biggest bank by market value, up as much as 2.2 percent and automotive business Astra International as much as 2.9 percent higher. Philippine shares, which rose nearly 3 percent in the previous session, fell 0.6 percent on profit-booking as consumer stocks and realtors, the drivers of Wednesday's gains, lost ground. "I think some investors have opted to cash in from the recent gains," said Cruz. Real estate developers SM Prime Holdings Inc fell 1.2 percent and Ayala Land Inc was 0.5 percent lower. Conglomerate SM Investment Corp fell 2.5 percent. Singapore slipped as much as 0.7 percent, its biggest intraday percentage loss in a week, as financial and industrial stocks pulled the index down. Jardine Matheson Holdings and Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd, down about 1 percent each, were among the biggest losers on the benchmark. Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam posted small gains. In Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was last up 0.2 percent.

Online grocery service RedMart has taken a $5.4 million bridge round leading up to a larger Series B.
The Singapore-based site, which lets consumers order groceries and schedule deliveries, said via email that its top backer is Eduardo Saverin, one of Facebook's co-founders.
RedMart has already been fundraising for its second institutional cash infusion, which it expects to close before August 2014.
"I believe that time-starved consumers will increasingly value convenience in purchasing their daily essentials," said Saverin in a statement on the news.
"The logistics and technology platform the RedMart team is building extends far beyond selling groceries in Singapore. The founders' ambition is boundless, their execution near flawless and I am excited to help them to realize their vision."
Other investors for this round of funding include existing backers Steve Melhuish and Jani Rautiainen (Property Guru founders), Meng Weng Wong (co-founder of incubator JFDI), Wee Teng Wen (founder of The Lo & Behold Group), and Lion Rock Capital.
RedMart was founded in October 2011 and has raised a total of $10 million to date.

QB ATL (5) 5 years ago
FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports the Falcons are looking to sign Matt Ryan to a contract extension this offseason.
According to Glazer, Atlanta is prepared to offer Ryan a "mega-contract" after the season no matter how the rest of the playoffs turn out for the team. This comes as no surprise as Ryan will be entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2013. Ryan is coming off his best individual season and led the Falcons to their first playoff win of the Mike Smith era last weekend over the Seahawks. Somewhere around six years and $100 million would seem to be the starting point for a new deal.

Apparently there's a stellar sushi place on 47th St.--"the north side of the street, between 5th and 4th"--where there's no sign, only a green door, and no external indication whatsoever of a restaurant within. I heard about it from this old guy in my regular sushi bar who got really drunk and started talking about it, and who also unexpectedly picked up my fairly exorbitant check. He told me a bunch of other, in some cases quite disturbing, stories, but never mind that. This green door place, he claims it's the best sushi in the city. So I went looking for it today. I couldn't find it, so I stopped into one of the diamond stores in the area.
To the old woman there I said: "Odd question, sorry to bother you, but have you ever heard of this sushi restaurant around here...there's no sign, it's just a green door..."
Old Woman (heavy Israeli accent): "Uh, no idea, sorry..."
Young Woman Assistant, sidling over: "Best sushi in the city, right?"
Me: "Yeah, that's what I'm told."
YW: "I've actually heard about something like that, it's supposed to be right down there. No sign..."
So I go over in the direction she's pointing, and sure enough there's a blank storefront with a green door. Indeed, the whole front of this building is covered in this weird green metal pattern (the address is 15 W. 47th St., right by the Mercantile Library) and on the door there's a tiny piece of paper taped that says, "Call [number without area code] to be let in the door, thanks!" I try a bunch of area codes with the number, even though it should be 212 given the location, and none of the combinations connects me to anyone who has any idea what I'm talking about. I ask a woman from the Mercantile Library what the green place is, and she says, "Used to be a Japanese restaurant...I think they closed."
So I gave up for the afternoon, but I'm far from finished. Maybe I have the wrong storefront, or maybe I've been tricked.

Hospital capacity planning: from measuring stocks to modelling flows
Bernd Rechel, Stephen Wright, James Barlow & Martin McKee
The metric of "bed numbers" is commonly used in hospital planning, but it fails to capture key aspects of how hospital services are delivered. Drawing on a study of innovative hospital projects in Europe, we argue that hospital capacity planning should not be based on beds, but rather on the ability to deliver processes. We propose using approaches that are based on manufacturing theory such as "lean thinking" that focuses on the value that different processes add for the primary customer, i.e. the patient. We argue that it is beneficial to look at the hospital, not from the perspective of beds or specialties, but rather from the path taken by the patients who are treated in them, the respective processes delivered by health professionals and the facilities appropriate to those processes. Systematized care pathways seem to offer one avenue for achieving these goals. However, they need to be underpinned by a better understanding of the flows of patients, work and goods within a hospital, the bottlenecks that occur, and translation of this understanding into new capacity planning tools.

Neck of the Woods Presents
Adventure Galley
Tall Sheep, Behind Sapphire
Neck of the Woods
406 Clement Street
San Francisco, CA, 94118
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
Reminiscent of so many bands of yesteryouth, muddled with our generation's lazing indie spirit, Adventure Galley strikes a certain note of dance party agelessness. A monolithic keyboard facade made of an old radio stands boldly centered at their live show, the one steadfast bolt amidst wildly flying notes, dancing fans and soaring singalong melodies that are just too fitting for a band named after an old ship.
Tall Sheep is a four piece, indie-pop, sophistipunk band from San Francisco, currently in the process of recording their first EP, due out in April 2013. Members converged in early 2012 to crash parties of cute and simple melodies with noisy tunes.
Oh my, what a fine band! From busking the streets of Vancouver to singing for Ellen DeGeneres (who says they're fantastic) to being selected in 2010 and 2011 as one of the Top 20 artists in British Columbia in the Peak Performance Project, Behind Sapphire has come an incredibly long way in only a handful of years. For Grant Cassell and Matthew Mazankowski, what first began as an outlet for their creativity and deep love of music has now grown into world renowned group known for their experimental pop music, energetic live performances, humorous YouTube videos and charitable Yellow Rubber Boots Campaign.
Behind Sapphire began with two boys in their teenage years, with a hope of sharing their music with the world. Over the past few years, they've expanded into an eternally-touring 6-piece energetic juggernaut. Pushing their creativity to new heights, the band has participated in the highly selective Peak Performance Project twice, has fulfilled a lifelong dream of performing for Ellen DeGeneres, fulfilled another lifelong dream by being arrested in China, and throughout it all has continued to hone and perfect their musical craft while remaining true to themselves and their faith. With so many goals, dreams, and ambitions to be attained, Behind Sapphire has an incredibly bright future ahead of them and is a name to be remembered.
The band spent two years recording their self-titled debut album, which was released in 2010 to critical acclaim. The album, full of Grant's delicate vocals and beautiful instrumentation provided by a 35-piece orchestra, was deemed "perfect summer music" and the band's been touring relentlessly in support of the album ever since its release. Their video for the single, "Oh My, What A Fine Day," (starring actress Jodelle Ferland, better known as Bree in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) was picked up by Much Music. The single was added to the rotation of radio stations across Canada, and was also featured on the popular Canadian television series Degrassi.
In July 2012, the band will release their follow-up EP, Diamonds, a heartfelt collection of songs written about love, faith, family and marriage. The EP features the gorgeous melodies and upbeat rhythms that fans have grown to love. Diamonds is another stellar effort from Behind Sapphire complete with sweeping strings ("Diamonds"), soul-filled vocals ("Tahera"), and sing-a-long anthems ("Vancouver, Baby!"). The EP provides a nice segue from the band's debut album to their forthcoming sophomore effort which will be released in the fall, followed by a tour of North America. The new record is more personal, honest and spiritual than all of the bands previous works, and shows a continued musical maturation as the band continues to draw on their wealth of experiences when composing new music.
A Behind Sapphire live performance is a transcendent and energetic experience, like a unicorn stampede or a dragon migration, and definitely something you won't want to miss. They've brought their unique, energetic and intricate live shows to countless fans across Canada, to Alaska, and China (including a CCTV broadcast to over 100 million viewers) with almost non-stop touring, and show no signs of slowing down.
The members of Behind Sapphire can also add "humanitarians" to their list of accomplishments thanks to the creation of the Yellow Rubber Boots campaign. Started in October of 2011, the Yellow Rubber Boots Campaign supports the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada through the sale of yellow rubber boots (not just a clever name!). The campaign was an idea that came to lead singer Grant Cassell, as he always sported his own pair of Yellow Rubber Boots to shows. Being from Vancouver, the band thought it would be perfect - to equip not only Vancouverites, but everyone across the globe with the perfect feet warmers. As well, Grant's sister, Amanda, has chronic kidney failure. Years ago, the Children's Wish Foundation granted Amanda a wish; she got to travel to Hawaii with Grant and their family to swim with the dolphins. It was an amazing opportunity and a huge blessing to her.
Through their incredible musical talent, enigmatic live shows, non-stop touring, and charity and community work, Behind Sapphire has brought their music to the hearts of millions, and it won't stop there. Keep your eyes and ears peeled because there are great things on the horizon for this prodigious group.

Opensource virtual machine like VMWare
I know there are many software for running virtual machines. I use VMWare and I like it. But I'd like to know if there are open source virtual machines (VirtualBox, Xen, ...) which people have tested and work fine.
Of course, it has to run at least Windows and linux virtual machines and have a good interface to manage it.
I was a big fan of Xen, but I migrated from it because it was getting too few kernel updates (therefore new HRDW got more and more unsupported) and I couldn't use HRDW-GPU-accelleration on the host.
I liked VMware but wasn't able to setup bridged network in order for each single VM to get its own IP-address from my router.
VirtualBox was good too, but the opensource version didn't support USB.
Well, the only one left was KVM and I happily use it now to run 3 linux VMs and 2 Windows VMs. I currently don't miss any feature.
I'm sorry but I don't know which UI you could use - I just use the config files but they're extremely simple.
Thanks for your reply.
I'm trying with VirtualBox. I'll see if works fine or not.
VirtualBox is awesome - I use it to run Windows instances all of the time. I don't use the Opensource version though because of the USB support, but they have a free version that works great.
VirtualBox and Qemu/KVM. I use VMWare because of its DirectX support, though.

Ravens Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed was "ready to go" before Baltimore's playoff game against the Chiefs despite his brother's disappearance.
Ravens spokesman Patrick Gleason said Reed was at breakfast Sunday with the team and was ready to play in the AFC wild-card game against Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium.
"Ed was at the team meeting and he's ready to go," Gleason said. "He was like the same old Ed Reed."
Family members believe Reed's brother, Brian Reed, is the man who jumped into the Mississippi River as he ran from police Friday in Louisiana.
Karen Reed said investigators found her 28-year-old son's shoes and jacket. She is the mother of Ed and Brian Reed.
Karen Reed also said the car the man ran from belonged to another brother.
Sgt. Dwayne LaGrange of the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office said authorities were unable to identify the man who jumped in the river around 10 a.m. Friday when a deputy told him to put his hands behind his back.
LaGrange said the deputy spotted the man with a parked car that matched the description of a stolen vehicle.
Authorities have called off the search for the missing man.
Ed Reed's 54 interceptions lead the NFL since he entered the league in 2002. Despite missing the first six games this season following offseason hip surgery, he had an NFL best eight interceptions in just 10 games.
Reed is the only player in NFL history to have scored touchdowns off a punt return, blocked punt, interception and fumble recovery.

Americans sometimes seem to forget that we're at war. But our enemies never forget.
And in case we needed any further proof, Umar Farouk Abdulamutallab reminded us there are plenty of radical extremists willing to kill in the name of their ideology. Clearly, we must remain vigilant and committed to stopping terrorists from inflicting damage to our country.
But after nearly a decade of fighting a war against terror, the painful questions persist: What has our government learned, and what can it do better in the future to protect our homeland?
On a day when most families were opening Christmas presents with loved ones, a terrorizing ordeal was taking place thousands of feet above the U.S. A Nigerian national, Abdulamutallab, was attempting to detonate an explosive in the cabin of an airliner as it began its descent into the Detroit airport. Thankfully, the bomb failed to ignite and passengers and crew members acted to restrain the would-be attacker. The aircraft was able to safely land.
If the bomb had gone off, it would have caused a massive explosion inside that aircraft that could have killed everyone aboard -- almost 300 hundred passengers and crew.
As New Yorkers, we don't need any reminders of what terrorists are capable of doing when our homeland security fails. After all, New York City was at the epicenter of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. More than eight years after the 9/11 attacks, there's still a gaping hole where the Twin Towers once stood. Americans haven't yet recovered our feelings of invincibility and innocence.
For so long, we had naively comforted ourselves, thinking that terrorism was confined only to other parts of the world. September 11 should have changed that way of thinking.
Since then, we've accepted new security measures and new laws to help keep our country safe. But with the memory of the events receding, dangerous complacency appears to once again be setting in.
And yet, the past decade witnessed continued attempts and attacks on innocent civilians by Islamic extremists:
- In 2001, the Richard Reid shoe bomb jeopardized the lives of the passengers and crew on an American Airlines aircraft.
- In 2004, the Madrid subway bombings claimed 191 lives.
- In 2006, the Mumbai, India attacks claimed 209 lives.
- In 2009, the Pakistan car bombing claimed 110 lives and over 200 casualties
Sadly, this is only a partial list of recent terrorist attempts on innocent civilians here and around the world.
The first lesson we can learn from the past decade is that there are plenty of deranged individuals who are perfectly willing and able to kill innocent civilians. Secondly (and related to the first), our government must remain committed to disrupting terrorist plots and terrorist havens. Lastly -- and perhaps most importantly -- the continued terrorism threat demands smarter security, not simply more money, as some claim.
"The most effective means of stopping terrorist attacks," homeland security expert James Jay Carafano of The Heritage Foundation explains, is "stopping attacks before they even come close to fruition." In other words, our government has to do a better job gathering intelligence and sharing pertinent information among the various agencies before a would be-bomber is able to board a commercial airliner.
Although we may be tempted to think that we are turning the page of the violent past decade that saw countless of civilians murdered in the name of extremism, we cannot. It was nothing short of a miracle that 300 lives were spared when Abdulamutallab's bomb failed to detonate. Terrorists, as this event revealed, do not regard certain days (like Christmas) as off-limits.
As we start this New Year, let's not lose sight of the world we live in and let's demand that our legislators and government remain vigilant in keeping our country safe. Anything else would be a complete travesty.

Geneva is a show of extravagance and extremes in both directions of the economy scale. From obscure exotic manufacturers like Wiesmann to mini, efficient-minded cars like the Toyota iQ, this year's new models can satisfy everyone.
As Europe's first auto show of the year, Geneva puts on quite a display, especially during the first two press days where champagne and fancy hors d'oeuvres were the media's mainstay in all the frenzy of conferences and debuts. Here's the inside look direct from the show floor.

Top with parm or feta if you wish (not included in recipe calc.), change up the greens , or the meat. The point is to keep it super light on the fattier meats, adding only just enough to add a little flavor of it, a hint -if you will. Let the eggs and chick peas take care of the protien portion.

Here we go again.
With healing defenceman Staffan Kronwall skating for the first time yesterday since suffering a knee strain against the Montreal Canadiens on Nov. 26, those same familiar questions started to spring up at Lakeshore Lions Arena.
Will Carlo Colaiacovo be the odd man out?
Will his trend of yo-yo-ing between the Maple Leafs and Marlies continue?
Will this guy ever get a chance to prove himself over an extended period of time?
Colaiacovo has played well since being called up to replace Kronwall, and he knows it. As a result, the Mississauga native refuses to acknowledge the sound of Kronwall's hulking footsteps clomping up behind him.
"Those decisions are not in my control,"said Colaiacovo, who is plus-2 in six games and has looked solid defensively. "I'm focussed on being here, and I hope to be here for the rest of the year.
'Listen, I've been up and down, up and down, up and down. Finally I've had a few games here and I've been good in those games.
"I feel confident in my game and I want to keep it up at this level."
Kronwall, meanwhile, has targeted the game against the Dallas Stars Saturday for his potential return date.
"The knee felt pretty good out there,"said Kronwall, who skated by himself prior to the team's practice. "There was still some pain but at least it is stable. I'm hoping it's good by the end of the week."
Once he's healthy, will he be shipped to the Marlies? Will it be Colaiacovo? Or will both be kept with the big club? Even Kronwall doesn't know.
"I'm trying not to think about it," he said. "I don't know what (management) is thinking. No one has told me anything."
General manager John Ferguson isn't about to show his hand, either.
"We'll make a decision when the time comes," Ferguson said.
"(Colaiacovo) continues to make positive steps."

Problem getting install CDs to work?
Hello everyone!
I'm a new member - I'll be attending the University of Waterloo in the fall.
My quick question is if anyone has ever had trouble getting CD images that you download [for various distros from Ubuntu to FreeBSD] to work properly? Personally, I've only ever had trouble on odd hardware, and I've always been able to get Fedora Core 3/4 to boot up just fine.
My father on the other hand, who wants to get away from MS Windows, has had some very bad luck and is getting very, very frustrated. It started with the DVD for OpenSuSe 10.0 that he got out of a Linux Format mag. The DVD boots, but then suddenly says that it cannot find a DVD in the drive. Then we tried the CD images available on the DVD - and they would freeze midway into the install process. Next, he retrieved the CDs from the Novell website, checked the MD5 sums, and still the same problem. My dad then thought that maybe Solaris 10 would work better - and while it installed without problems, it kept asking for the "Lang" disc that we had downloaded but that it wouldn't recognize. The he got the latest FreeBSD 6.1 release, and those CDs weren't able to read their own data from "acd0".
Mind you, he has been trying to to install all of this on HP dual Xeon 2GHz workstations, but I could still duplicate most of the problems using VMWare in Windows XP on my Athlon 64 3800+ X2 machine.
So my question is simply if anyone else has had frequent troubles with getting CDs that you download from the net to work correctly? As a budding Linux novice myself, my experience is limited, and with far less bad luck - so I would love to help my dad to "release himself from the evil clutches of the Redmond Giant".
We tried doing an installation over the internet [by using a boot cd, and the typing in a web address for HTTP or FTP download site] - but I've always found the documentation for doing this kind of install to be lacking, and thus we were unable to succeed.
Thank you for your replies!
LUG CD's and DVDs
The LUG does give out Linux CD's and DVDs. At the moment we only have FC4 on DVD and Ubuntu Breezy 64 bit & MAC version on CDs, but I've ordered 50 Ubuntu 6.06 CD's. (They probably will not be here until August or September).
Sorry for the very late
Sorry for the very late (and probably unhelpful) response.
I see that you know how to check md5sums. Always verify those.
I have had other problems with downloaded ISOs, but that was often because I tried to boot or read CDs that were burned at a faster rate than the CD-ROM could read. This is not likely the case in your situation.
I highly recommend going with a network install if you have the bandwidth. I can't give you specific distro advice other than for Debian, but I have found that net installs are far more reliable than installing via CD.
DVDs, CDs, and hardware detection...
I noticed that you also stated that the DVD from the Linux mag didn't work. Often many of these install CDs have options like noacpi noapic that can solve lock-ups. Usually the options are listed if you press F3/F4/F5 when the DVD/CD first loads.
Also check if the DVD burner is on secondary slave. If it is, put it on master. It shouldn't make a difference, but at the shop I've found sometimes it does make a difference.
My last suggestion would be to try a Knoppix DVD (just to see if you can get it to run off live cd). I find Knoppix is pretty good with most hardware.

Zeiss 32mm Touit 1.8 Lens for Fuji X cameras XF Mount Like New
Hi I am selling my very nearly brand new Zeiss 32mm Touit 1.8 lens for Fuji X cameras. I really like this lens and truly do believe it is better than the Fuji lens. If you've seen some of my posts after I initially bought this lens a few weeks ago I spoke very highly at a time when I had every intention of keeping it. I have decided that with the focus peaking update to just use m mount manual focus lenses on my Fuji so I am selling this as this is something I prefer. This is a great buy if you ever had any intention to purchase this lens you can get it in brand new condition at a cheaper price. As soon as it came out of the box I put a B+W filter on the front and everything is in tip top shape.
I'm looking for $750 + shipping on it. I'm knocking the price down to that point because I need to move it quickly.

Michael Lichter, one of the most celebrated motorcycle lifestyle photographers around, is teaming up with the Legendary Buffalo Chip Campground in Sturgis for his 2012 Motorcycles as Art exhibit entitled Come Together, The Spirit of Born-Free in honor of the Born-Free ride-in bike show started by Grant Peterson of Freedom Machinery and Mike Davis of Born Loser.
The Sturgis Buffalo Chip, the legendary campground and entertainment venue famous for its free-to-campers concerts during the Sturgis Rally, today announced that the annual Motorcycles as Art event will return to the Buffalo Chip's 7000 square foot Exhibition Center in 2012 with an all new exhibit titled, Come Together, The Sprit of Born-Free. This exciting new exhibit features a collection of one of a kind custom motorcycles and artwork. Open daily to the public with free admission from August 4th through the 10th, 2 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Presented by the Sturgis Buffalo Chip and curator, famed photographer Michael Lichter in conjunction with Born-Free bike show creators Grant Peterson and Mike Davis, this year's highly anticipated exhibit will be like no other in the history of Motorcycles as Art. Come Together, The Sprit of Born-Free celebrates freedom of expression, contemporary motorcycle design and the vision of today's most innovative artists and custom bike fabricators. This exhibition will look at what is behind the notion that motorcycle design is as much about the culture and times it was born of as it is about the machinery itself. It will do this by looking at an emerging movement within custom motorcycling.
"Over the last few years, custom bike building has been returning to its roots," explains Come Together, The Sprit of Born-Free Curator Michael Lichter. "Custom bike builders have been looking back to simpler times, to motorcycling in the 1950s – 1970s for inspiration. They are back in their small garages all across America getting their bikes to work better, look better, and represent who they are. They work by themselves and they work with their best friends. This new breed of builder is acknowledging the styles of the past as well as today's engineering innovations and in doing this, they are breathing new life into old machines. Their creations reflect their personal stories, their friends and contemporary life they are part of. Paramount to all, they are building these bikes to ride – and they ride them hard."
The Born-Free ride-in bike show that began in Southern California in 2009 as an event that brought together like minded individuals with a love for choppers, old motorcycles and the culture that surrounds them, has now grown into something much larger. The show has become an epicenter for the fusion of past and present motorcycle design. It is with this shared vision that Motorcycles as Art Curator Michael Lichter and Born-Free creators Grant Peterson and Mike Davis have joined forces for the annual exhibition at the Buffalo Chip that will see more than 25-custom bikes and art that represent the Born-Free movement.
"We are very proud and excited about this year's exhibit," says Sturgis Buffalo Chip Owner, Rod Woodruff. "Michael Lichter and his collaborating partners have brought together more then just a collection of one of a kind motorcycles and art for all rally goers to enjoy, they have captured the culture and vibe of a point in motorcycling history. Come Together, The Sprit of Born-Free will be remembered as the exhibition that told the story of not only great motorcycles but of the people that build them."

In life, people won't like you. A major reason is usually jealousy of success. Kentucky is hated. We're all aware of that — but not only is Kentucky hated, you are hated. Yes, that's right. Profascinate, (a site that I've came to enjoy), has ranked Kentucky basketball second on their "Most Hated Fan Bases in Sports" list.
Here's what they said about the Big Blue Nation:
Who remembers when John Calipari was the head basketball coach at Memphis? Wildcat fans tore him apart, calling him a liar and a cheater. Now that he's their new coach, they worship him. A man who has had 2 Final Four appearances vacated due to NCAA violations, Calipari epitomizes the values of this fan base- win at all costs. This "one-and-done" program has quickly become the most hated in all of college basketball.
We're a "win at all costs" fan base? You might want to give a call to Bobby Petrino and Rick Pitino down in Louisville. The best are always hated. I'm more than happy if that's what it takes to be a successful program. Morals still exist here, and it works.
The Kentucky basketball fan base was ranked only behind that of Alabama football. That's darn good company in my opinion. Hopefully the nation's hatred will stay for years to come.
For example:
Being hated doesn't suck that bad after all.
