Report Details Psychotropic Medication Oversight In Foster Care
The Tufts CTSI has today released a multi-state study on psychotropic medication oversight in foster care. The research notes a majority of states reviewed within the study reported an increase of minors within the foster care system taking psychotropic medications.
Psychotropic medication and youth in foster care report
The Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) today issued a landmark report from a multi-state study on psychotropic medication oversight in foster care. Led by Laurel K. Leslie, MD, MPH at Tufts CTSI, Christopher Bellonci, MD at Tufts Medical Center and Justeen Hyde, PhD at Cambridge Health Alliance, the study examined state policies and practices in 47 states, including Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia regarding the use of medication for treating behavioral and mental health problems in foster care children and adolescents ages 2 to 21 years.
Over the past decade, psychotropic medication use in the general youth population has more than doubled. Estimated rates of psychotropic medication use in foster care youth, however, are much higher (ranging from 13-52%) than those in the general youth population (4%).
In 2008, President Bush signed into law the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act, which requires state child welfare agencies and Medicaid to provide ongoing oversight and coordination of medical and mental health services, including psychotropic medications, for youth in foster care. Since then, state child welfare agencies have been working to develop sound policies and practices for this population of kids.
The Tufts CTSI multi-state study, begun in 2009, concluded that while oversight of psychotropic medication is a high priority of the state child welfare agencies, there is also great variability among the state policies and practices governing such oversight. The Study Report calls for a national approach and resources for medication oversight for youth in foster care. A more detailed national look at which state policies and practices are the most effective for improving the mental health of these youth is also needed. Without a national approach, crossing a state border could mean the difference between a youth in foster care being appropriately treated with medications or not. The report also stresses the need for youth-serving organizations and state agencies to work together, and for more informed decision-making and appropriate medication monitoring for youth in foster care.
The majority of states in the multi-state study reported an increasing trend in the use of psychotropic medications among youth in foster care, specifically regarding: Increased use of antipsychotics, antidepressants, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications;
Increased polypharmacy (the use of more than one psychotropic medication at the same time); Increased medication use among young children; and Increased reliance on giving medications "as needed" and "blanket authorizations" for such drug use in residential facilities.
Officials in some states felt that this increase partially reflected demand by foster parents, schools, and other stakeholders. Others felt that reimbursement and time pressures in the healthcare system encouraged medication use. A few states, however, indicated a decrease in medication use in their states and thought that these changes reflected policy and practices implemented over the last several years.
Many child welfare officials understood that medication plays an important role in addressing mental health problems. However, officials were concerned that medications were being used to manage problems that might respond as well, or better, to psychosocial treatments.
Funded by the Charles H. Hood Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health-funded Child and Adolescent Services Research Center in San Diego, the study involved interviews with state child welfare agency key staff as well as a review of existing policies and guidelines available on state public websites or provided by staff. The Study Report and specific tools developed by states are available online at http://www.tuftsctsi.org/About-Us/CTSI Components/Community-Engagement.aspx. The Study Report was funded by the William T. Grant Foundation and Tufts CTSI.
States that participated in the study include: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

One Response to Report Details Psychotropic Medication Oversight In Foster Care
We always seem to have to "recognize that medication plays an important role…" But does it really? Where is the scientific evidence that this is true? Does anyone really know if foster kids are better off when they get medication treatment for a particular disorder? Long-term outcome studies are rare, but those that have been done have been almost uniformly disappointing in terms of important outcomes such as school completion, employment, academic achievement, social skill development, and self-esteem. Additionally, side effects can have a devastating effect on kids' long term health and safety, including increasing mental health symptoms and additional diagnoses, such as ADHD kids becoming bipolar after years of treatment with stimulants.
It's time we put medication back where it belongs: as a short-term, symptom management tool we use in acute cases while we work to get more effective interventions in place to address the actual problem instead of just suppressing its manifestations. This is especially true in foster care, where kids have some really great reasons for feeling angry, depressed, or anxious, or for not paying attention in school. Maybe instead of diagnosing them, we can spend some time listening to them and finding out how we can help them cope with the incredible stresses they're experiencing. It is very possible, but we have to be willing to take the time and invest in their future, instead of treating them as if their natural reactions to very unnatural circumstances were somehow the real problem.

The governor of Uruzgan pleads with the Dutch government to reverse its decision and not to leave their jobs half-finished, reports the Financial Times.London – The governor of an Afghan province pleaded Tuesday with the Netherlands not to withdraw troops from the region next year, warning its job is "only half finished," a report said.
Asadullah Hamdam, the governor of Uruzgan, said he has been asking the Dutch government to reverse its decision, amid fears a pullout will create instability in the region undergoing critical economic development.
"The people of Uruzgan are very familiar with the Dutch - they have spent a lot of time here - and they are asking them to stay," he told the Financial Times newspaper.
"We are very happy with what the Dutch security forces have done here.
"If they do leave, it will mean they are going at an important time and with their job only half finished," he said in the provincial capital.
Nearly 2,000 Dutch soldiers are deployed in Afghanistan, mostly in Uruzgan, as part of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.
The Netherlands has been committing troops to ISAF since 2006 and its mission is set to expire in 2010.
A Dutch general said in August that NATO-led troops have succeeded in shifting the momentum against Taliban insurgents in the impoverished province, but it has taken years of patient effort.
The comments came as US President Barack Obama gathered his war cabinet Monday for what officials indicated could be the final time before he decides whether to dispatch tens of thousands more US troops to Afghanistan.

And whether or not a SL was too slow/fast/right is irrelevant to this particular discussion. No "if's, and's, or but's".
Nothing vague about a half an hour, sorry. 30 is a pretty concrete quantifiable number.
Keep throwing in red herrings and distractions, speaks volumes.
Just keep right.
I doubt that "I didn't see any other traffic and I didn't want to wait so dang long for the light to change" will be seen as a valid excuse to avoid a running-red-light ticket based on photo evidence.
Well, a little pain for a little gain!
And whether or not a SL was too slow/fast/right is irrelevant to this particular discussion. No "if's, and's, or but's".
Since we are discussing speeds and what is a "reasonable" speed it is relevant.
Nothing vague about a half an hour, sorry. 30 is a pretty concrete quantifiable number.
True but you didn't say "half an hour" you said when it gets dark which is not a concrete quantifiable number.
Keep throwing in red herrings and distractions, speaks volumes.
Not throwing any red herrings or distractions. I am just pointing out that what you consider reasonable my not hold true along the spectrum.
Just keep right.
Slow down, you'll live longer.
2008 Sebring Ragtop, 2011 Hyundai Sonata.
I'd just avoid that intersection, or document the broken light with my own camera, put it online and go to the press with it, get others to join in, and have the problem solved one way or another. Raise enough stink, and the overpaid underworked retire at 55 with 85% "workers" will face pressure and embarrassment.
On that subject, it appears my fair city finally fixed one of the sticking light intersections, I have noticed quicker changes the past few days, light changes before I give up on it.
Oh, another should-be caveat of light cameras - city buys the cameras and then owns 100% of the proceeds, no palm-greasing crony capitalist red light camera operators get to be involved.
The original context was a notoriously slow highway in my area. I don't think any sound mind can defend the slowpokes on that road as being "reasonable".
I have repeatedly made posts about lights off during darkness. It is assumed this darkness is at least a half hour after sunset, as in most weather conditions, the light in the sky does not vanish until this point. And of no matter, if someone is stupid enough to not turn on the lights during dim conditions just because they legally do not have to, they deserve what they get.
Haven't seen anything showing going slow leads to longer lives. The limit, aimed for the lowest common denominator, is plenty slow enough on dry pavement on 95% of roads, in my experience anyway. What you consider "reasonable" might hold true for even less of the spectrum than what I hold likewise.
And that's enough time devoted to tangents and red herrings, have a nice day, I will return to posting about local yokels
Michigan says lights on a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise and any other time you can't clearly see 500'. I didn't see a definition of "sunset" but Wiki says that's when the sun first completely sets below the horizon.
Kind of surprised - thought it'd be a half hour before sunset.
The original context was a notoriously slow highway in my area. I don't think any sound mind can defend the slowpokes on that road as being "reasonable".
Again slow and reasonable are subjective terms. Case in point, I have talked a few times about one road I travel down. Taking into account that there are several spots of limited sight distance, no shoulder, high vegetation right up to the side of the road and the dangers of large wild life crossing the road I strongly believe that 35-40 MPH is a reasonable speed for the road. However the occasional driver that races up behind me and rides my rear end would call me a slowpoke. Who is right?
I have repeatedly made posts about lights off during darkness. It is assumed this darkness is at least a half hour after sunset,
Well darkness can happen anytime. There have been times during the daylight that I would have said it was dark (heavy dark cloud covering). I would consider any time during civil twilight bright enough to drive without lights on if the skies are clear. Civil twilight depending on location can extend past the 30 minute mark.
So what you consider "Dark" others may not.
Haven't seen anything showing going slow leads to longer lives.
I have seen studies that show an increased risk of a fatal accident increases with speed at speed higher that between 35-40MPH. When you look at the physics involved it does make perfect sense. However thats not what I mean. So slow down you'll live longer. Think about it.
2008 Sebring Ragtop, 2011 Hyundai Sonata.
Michigan says lights on a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise and any other time you can't clearly see 500'.
Typically in Michigan Civil twilight extends just past that 30 minute mark. Civil twilight is considered to be to the time that the center of the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon. During Civil sunset on clear or mostly clear days one can still make out details and colors. So it makes sense that they have it at 30 minutes after sunset.
I didn't see a definition of "sunset" but Wiki says that's when the sun first completely sets below the horizon.
Sunset is when the geometric center of the sun dips blow the horizon. So when you can still see part of the sun (but less than half) it is after sunset.
Kind of surprised - thought it'd be a half hour before sunset.
Actually the hour prior to sunset (and the hour after sunrise) is considered to be the optimal lighting conditions. Photographers call this the golden hour.
2008 Sebring Ragtop, 2011 Hyundai Sonata.
Your case in point is nice, but unrelated to the original context.
" I would consider any time during civil twilight bright enough to drive without lights on if the skies are clear. "
And you would be in violation of the law, at least in my state, as that would be more than a half hour past official sunset. Twilight is not relevant. Why would someone want to be less visible, anyway? Especially if there are shady streets or kids around, the former of which is a constant in my area.
Still seeing nothing concrete about slowing down and living longer. Seems some places with faster traffic than this soon to be second world mess also have better life expectancies, and lower casualty rates. Hmm. Drive as slow as you want, just stay in the right lane where you belong. Then we can all go about our way.
It's funny that Alaska has the same requirement as Michigan, except the distance is out to 1,000 feet. In the summer, twilight literally lasts for hours. For most of June, there just isn't any twilight, even down in Anchorage. That time of year it helps to run your lights so the 10 year old kids playing in the street at midnight can see you coming.
I'm further west than Chicago yet on Eastern Time - that makes for nice long evenings with sunsets as late as 9:55pm and seemingly long twilights - really around 40 minutes at the peak.
Drove down the south sound today - very little issues. Only one LLCer comes to mind, a Murano being passed by numerous cars on the right, showing no signs of having a clue. Otherwise, traffic was light and the slowpokes were kindly keeping to the right lane.
Headlights in urban/suburban areas are less about helping the driver see the road and more about letting *OTHER* drivers see that *YOU (the driver)* are on the road.
So as soon as it becomes difficult for other drivers to see your car, the lights come on. If you drive a fluorescent-yellow car, then you get to flick your lights on later, as it's highly noticeable to other drivers. But if you drive a silver-grey car, then those lights will probably need to come on anytime it gets cloudy.
Now, I know that people will argue about the premise, that lights are more to get you noticed by other drivers. But honestly, think about it. If you have an idiot driving with no lights on a rural road... does anyone really care if he wraps his car around a tree?
One less idiot on the road in my book.
Now, I know that people will argue about the premise, that lights are more to get you noticed by other drivers.
I agree with that... to a point. Obviously if it's total darkness, there's two purposes for lights.
Traffic cameras remove judgement from enforcement.
For example, a cop might witness a situation where a car runs through an intersection that had just turned red. And also noticed that a semi was behind him, one foot from his bumper, and also ran the light.
Now, that cop will ticket the semi and let the car go, as he ran the light to avoid causing a collision. IE: the cop analyzed the situation and made a judgement call.
Traffic cameras do not do that. That car, in front of the semi, is a lawbreaker and will get a ticket. Which teaches to the driving public compliance with traffic law, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE. Which means that the driver of the car will stop the next time, resulting in an accident and possible loss of life.
This is just ONE example of various situations that require judgement calls by police... something traffic cameras cannot ever do.
There should be "compliance with traffic law, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE."
Per your example - the semi is the proximate cause of the crash because the driver followed the car too close resulting in property damage & maybe physical injury.
IMO all semi vehicles should have a speed limit of 15 less than for cars because when they crash at higher speeds, they do more damage and the 53' box blocks all three lanes of the freeway. :mad:
Well, in the example given, if the car had stopped short, the insurance company would have tried to deny the claim because the driver had the opportunity but failed to try to avoid an accident.

Here are some more area interstate drivers who didn't wanna slow down for anything, including a heavy snow flurry area that caused a whiteout and glazed the roadway. Two sets of accidents about 15-20 miles apart (approx) on two different interstates. 80 cars and 50 cars.

The accidents reminded me of the LLDer driving through a dangerous construction area in midtown Dayton without slowing to a safer speed. There are always those drivers who will blast right through heavy rain and slow because nothing can slow them from their assigned speed and mission.

I agree with your arguments. Maybe we can all just keep dash cameras in our cars to fight the bad light cameras then. I am about to run one in mine. I don't have a problem with some cameras per se, but the justification for them needs to be proven to the public, and the revenue streams can't go to crooked pseudo-private sector contractors who are really just parasites on the taxpayer.
I'd like to see the police do more work too, but I suspect the odds of that are low. Police unions make big labor unions look like schoolchildren.
Out on city streets today, didn't see anything too bad, but some annoyances. First - had a Corolla behind me for a couple miles - I turned 7 times I think - it NEVER signaled once. Saw a suit in a 5er slowly cut across 3 lanes, no signal. Saw a WRX with a loud exhaust going too fast, tailgated a Forester, then had to slam on its brakes and have a close call as traffic slowed. And while out in the old car, had a well kept blonde in a MDX with a phone in her hand tailgating me at 5 over - until the limit went from 30 to 40, which then slowed her down :confuse:

Out this morning, I am thinking turn signals are a rarely ordered option on late model BMWs. Also saw a Rav4 with a hard spare tire cover and I think wind deflectors (which points to a certain demographic) stop for a green light, I don't know what that was about. And saw a younger woman in a red 2013 SL550 with a phone to her ear - should be a 5 figure fine for her.
That example has never happened in my 50+ years in the insurance business. Speculations can be wild.
How many "speculative" links re insurance companies trying to shift the blame onto the victim would you like? :shades:
Amazing! I didn't represent GEICO, SAFECO, & a few other "national" companies. I learned early on that regional small carriers are a lot more reasonable. Two of the most pleasure to deal with were Oregon Mutual and Unigard. Other agent friends were proud of their appointments with Mutual of Enumclaw & Pemco. All decent to deal with in regards to claims and underwriting.
For the first time in forever I'm with a very small company mostly local to Michigan, but financially stable, as near as I can tell from a search at the insurance commission. Even have an agent for the first time in a decade.
Since it's been 34 years since I've had to make a claim, I can't speak to the claims process.
"Mutual of Enumclaw" sounded like a joke name so I looked it up. Never heard of that Washington city - bit ironic that the name the insurance company uses translates as "place of evil spirits".
hammerhead Posts: 907...from a pair of (exceptionally bright) teenagers:
They just got home from their D.C. trip, and both made the observation that folks on foot in the Washington/Baltimore area are very aggressive when crossing streets regardless of crosswalk, and don't bother looking much - they just go, often buried in newspaper and/or device.
Wonder how their auto/pedestrian statistics compare to other metropolitan areas. Anybody remember 'stop, look & listen'?
An example of a "considerate" approach to enforcement of traffic laws?
That's nice, but I don't think it will make much of a difference. All drivers should know all the rules, not just informing the ones they happen to catch on their one mistake.
From the article:
In the first two weeks of the "In Focus" program, Edina police stopped about 20 drivers for obstructed vision. Long said most people lean out their windows and ask, "What did I do wrong?"
Seriously? :confuse:
Tonight on the way home from work, I must have been moving too slow (40 in a 45) on a 2 lane road with mostly double yellow. The Grand Cherokee behind me flashed his lights about 10 times to get me to move faster. I should be thankful that he didn't flash 200 times to teach me a lesson. :P
It's winter here, cold temperatures, snow, high winds. It's not like driving on dry pavement on a sunny summer day. The 4WD/AWD crowd wants to drive like it's summer, but they're the ones usually ending up in the ditch. :sick:

Volvo Cars in collaboration with sports gear manufacturer POC and Ericsson has developed a life-saving wearable cycling technology which will be demonstrated at International CES 2015. This will be the first ever safety technology that can connect Volvo car drivers and cyclists in order to warn them before hand of a possible collision.
According to accident data from Europe, about 50 % of all cyclists are killed in the traffic due to collision with cars and there are nearly 50,000 cyclist fatalities and injuries per year in the USA. However, the car to cyclist safety system can help minimize collision accidents on roads.
This is how the system works:
Bicyclists can launch an app such as Strava on their smartphones which will share their position through Volvo Cars cloud to cars and vice versa. If a forthcoming collision is calculated based on the position of the car and bicyclists, both will be warned through an alert system. The car driver will be alerted through a head-up display alert while cyclist will be warned via a helmet alert light. This 2-way communication will help avoid any unfortunate accidents.
Klas Bendrik, VP and Group CIO at Volvo Cars commented: "The partnership between Volvo Cars, POC and Ericsson is an important milestone in investigating the next steps towards Volvo Car's vision to build cars that will not crash. Today our City Safety system, a standard in the all-new XC90, can detect, warn and auto-brake to avoid collisions with cyclists. By exploring cloud-based safety systems, we are now getting ever closer to eliminating the remaining blind spots between cars and cyclists and by that avoid collisions."
This life saving technology can open up exciting development opportunities for reducing collision accidents between different cars and ultimately reducing loss of life due to road accidents.

Telechoice offers plans on both 12 and 24 month contracts running on Telstra's 3G/4G network.
What services does Telechoice offer?
Telechoice is an MVNO running on parts of the Telstra 3G/4G network, covering up to 98.5% of the Australian population. With a combination of plans over either 12 or 24 month terms as well as month-to-month SIM only plans with no lock in contracts, Telechoice has a fairly comprehensive lineup of mobile plan offerings.
Telechoice differentiates itself from many MVNOs in the fact it has 34 retail stores around the country, offering customers a physical location to visit for both joining the network or getting ongoing customer support.
Telechoice also offers some phones on contract. You can't get the latest flagship from Apple or Samsung, but if you're a fan of Oppo handsets, there are a few options for you to choose from.
How much does Telechoice cost?
Despite the difference in contract lengths, Telechoice's plans are remarkably consistent in their value and inclusions. Prices start at $19 per month for either 12 or 24 months (or $20 per month for a billed monthly option). There are additional tiers at $28 per month, $29 per month, $38 a month or $48 per month, with the bundled talk, text and data very similar across all plans. You do get slightly less on the data front for a billed monthly plan, but that's to be expected.
What extras does Telechoice offer?
Telechoice prides itself on its mantra of keeping things simple, so there's not much in the way of extras on offer through their mobile plans.
What excess charges could I face on these plans?
- Excess call costs
- Excess data costs
- International call costs
- Early contract cancellation fees
Telechoice provides plans on month to month, 12 month and 24 month terms, all of which incur slightly different excess charge scenarios.
For call plans with a sum quota for calls, once that value is exhausted, you'll pay 99c per minute plus a 40c flagfall for calls. Even for plans with "unlimited" standard national calls, the key word there is "standard". Certain call types, such as premium services will attract an additional per-call fee.
Telechoice uses the industry standard for excess data, which involves adding a 1GB block of data to your quota as soon as you go over for a flat fee of $10. This does mean you could incur multiple $10 charges if you use lots GB of data over your quota within a billing month, although Telechoice does limit this to a maximum of 10 GB boosts.
Telechoice plans do provide support for international calls, with some plans also including a quota of international calls as part of your overall bundle. Rates vary depending on the country you wish to call, with Telechoice's full rate sheet available here.
By default, Telechoice mobile SIMs are blocked from international roaming, although you can apply to have this block listed if you wish to use your Telechoice Mobile phone overseas while travelling. This only applies to call and texting services, however, with no support for international data roaming at all. Telechoice's full pricing sheets, including the range of supported roaming countries can be found here.
If you opt to cancel your Telechoice mobile contract, the charge you'll incur will vary by plan type. For month to month contracts there's no specific penalty fee, although you must pay any outstanding charges. For either 12 or 24 month plans, you've got to pay any outstanding fees plus an early termination charge, calculated at $15 times the number of months remaining on your contract.
- 4G connectivity Telechoice has access to parts of the Telstra 3G/4G network, so expect fast speeds and fairly reliable connections.
- Local retail presence. Sometimes it's easier to head to a retail store to deal with a mobile provider, and Telechoice has 34 retail stores around the country.
- Complete contract options. You can sign up on either a month to month plan or get a 12 or 24 month contract - it's completely up to you.
- No flagship handsets Telechoice offers a limited selection of handsets on contract, but nothing from major players like Apple or Samsung.
- Not much difference between contract terms. In most cases there doesn't appear to be any substantial value benefit for signing up for 24 months rather than 12 months.

- Bullseye Glass' facility, near SE Powell and 21st
Since they're essentially just blowups, the maps don't offer much in the way of new revelations, but they do give concerned Portlanders a better sense of the exact streets affected. Near Bullseye, that includes Cleveland High School and Winterhaven K-8, along with a 100-child day care center. The health department cautions that the maps are "not exact or precise" and that they use "a limited data set from October 2015 to correlate cadmium air concentrations with concentrations in moss, an approach to mapping air pollutants that is new and still developing."
Nonetheless, it's about the most detailed information we've got at this point.
Here's a snapshot of the map from North Portland. Darker shades denote higher risk—with the lightest orange representing risks of between 1 and 9 additional cases of cancer per million people routinely exposed, and the dark red representing a risk of more than 50 additional cases per million people. Cadmium, which tends to stay in the human body a long time, also presents a risk for kidney damage.

Written by Greg Ellifritz
While scanning crime reports last week, I came across two different instances where people walking dogs were robbed. There aren't a whole lot of details in either article, but they are worth checking out:
Man walking dog shot in head by would-be robber
Man walking dog shot by robber
I teach a lot of women's self defense classes. In almost every class, I have a woman make the statement "I'm not worried. I have a big dog."
It's generally accepted that having a dog deters the average criminal and reduces your chance of being victimized. But in looking at the cases above, the possession of a dog clearly doesn't stop all criminal attacks.
There is a surprising lack of research available regarding exactly how valuable dogs are at preventing crime. Almost all the research conducted deals only with the crime of burglary (theft from an unoccupied house). Here is an example:
Burglary of Single-Family Houses
"On average, burglarized houses are less likely to have dogs than are non-burglarized houses, suggesting that dog ownership is a substantial deterrent."
Many people will look at this report or similar statistics and apply the information to ALL crimes. That's a mistake. Having a dog reduces burglary rates, but it may not have any effect at all on robberies, rapes, or murders. We just don't know.
While it seems logical that a dog will provide a protective benefit beyond the scope of burglary, it is wise to have a backup plan. The victims in the cases above didn't and they paid dearly. Learn from their mistakes. Think it through. What would you do if you were attacked while walking your dog and you couldn't rely on your dog for help?

Nazem Kadri permanently etched his name into the Battle of Ontario's history books on Saturday night.
Late in the second period, the Toronto Maple Leafs forward laid a hard hit on Ottawa Senators defenceman Cody Ceci.
While playing the puck behind the net, Ceci had his back turned as Kadri came in and hammered him into the boards.
No call was made on the play as Kadri sent a backhand pass to the front of the net where teammate Joffrey Lupul scored to tie the game 2-2. The Maple Leafs went on to win the game 6-3.
What did you think of the play between Kadri and Ceci? Watch the video above and have your say in the comments section.

On its delayed Q3 conference call, the management of Linn Energy LLC (LINE) and 1099 dividend paying twin, LinnCo LLC (LNCO) expressed a high level of confidence concerning the companies recently announced, improved offer for Berry Petroleum Co. (BRY). From the information provided on the call, it seems very likely that the merger will go through with an approval by the end of this year. And, more importantly for Linn investors, the deal will be a positive for continued distribution growth.
Note: LP companies such as Linn Energy have units and pay distributions. The words stock, shares and dividends may be used here with the understanding that the rules of MLP units apply including the tax consequences of investing in MLP units.
Berry Merger Update
With the new proposed merger agreement, Berry Petroleum share holders will receive 1.68 shares of LNCO for each BRY share, up from a 1.25 exchange ratio when the offer was first announced in February 2013. At the time of the initial offer, the exchange rate and share price of LNCO valued the deal at $4.3 billion. The latest offer increases the merger value to $4.9 billion, about 15% higher than the 10 month old offer.
For Linn Energy and LinnCo investors, the extra 24 million shares to be exchanged due to the higher exchange ratio shows an increased dilution factor per unit of about 8% on the 303 million LINE shares that would have existed if the merger had gone through at the original exchange rate.
During the Q&A of the conference call, management noted that production and financial results from Berry were much better in Q3 than earlier in the year, and the tax benefits of the merger had improved. So in spite of the one-third higher share exchange rate, the new offer remains positive for Linn Energy and LinnCo investors. During the conference call management stated that if the merger is approved, the deal would be immediately accretive for dividend paying cash flow. I see no reason to doubt that declaration.
Expect Delayed Increase in the Monthly Dividend
Another point that came up during the conference call was that, if the merger is approved, Linn Energy would publish its guidance for 2014 later in the new year than the usual January announcement. The comment was that it would probably take until well into February before the company could work through its models and projections for 2014. I think that Linn has become more conservative about increasing distributions based on future cash flow projections, so I do not expect the current monthly dividend of $0.2416 to start increasing until the second quarter of next year. Investors can expect a higher payout starting in April.
Management was also asked about the new method of calculating distributable cash flow, which I covered in my last article. It was noted that the new method is more in line with GAAP, since DCF is now derived from "Net cash provided by operating activities" - a GAAP number. Results from Q1 and Q2 of 2013 will be restated using the new method. However, management noted, the actual financial results for the recent past were accurate and that the new DCF reporting method just clarifies how Linn accounts for cash flow.
Where To From Here
Management and the analysts on the call expressed confidence, and I am in agreement, that business is back on track for Linn Energy and now investors can base investment decisions on their own goals for income and growth. I would understand that investors and traders who picked up shares in the low $20's earlier this year may want to sell, lock in the gains and redeploy the capital elsewhere. Long term LINE and LNCO holders should be comfortable that things are improving and that the distributions will again start to increase. At some point in the next 6 months I expect the LINE share price to move up to the point where the yield is back around the typical 8% for this company. That means about $36 for LINE and a few bucks higher for LNCO - with its historic lower yield - based on the current $2.90 per unit annual distribution rate.
Final note: My comments concerning management statements were written from memory without access to a printed transcript of the conference call.

Dear NappyValleyNetter,
Last Saturday Mr NappyValleyNet and I, plus our two children, were lucky enough to visit the Wimbledon Championships.
We had four tickets for Court One and from our lunchtime arrival, until we left at 10.30pm, their little minds were enchanted by the whole gorgeous spectacle.
I'm not writing about this to boast, but to shout about how we managed to get our hands on those tickets because whenever I've subsequently bored people about our day, most assume we had either a) paid a fortune or b) obtained them through work.
And neither are of those are true.
Although most people know about the national LTA ballot, the ballot run by local clubs is less well known. And that's a shame. Because local businesses like "Julian Tennis Coach" (click here) and All Stars (click here) have an allocation and it was through this route that we were lucky enough to attend.
It's by no means guaranteed, and one still has to pay the official face value of the tickets (which we did), but it's not that much more than our last family trip to Legoland and we stayed much much longer.
So if you fancy a trip to SW19 next summer please do look to our local businesses. It's not guaranteed but to shamelessly plagiarise the National Lottery, it could be you.
And I'll leave the last word to Mr NVN who was on his first visit and is a more regular attendee of Twickenham and Wembley.
"It's like a sports stadium for tens of thousands of people…" he stated rather obviously after having his flabber gasted by the short queues and charming marshalls, "…but by Waitrose."

A key battleground House campaign gets off and running Tuesday with the first TV ad from a touted Democratic challenger.
Former Judge Ann Callis released her first commercial Tuesday, a biographical ad highlighting her work with veterans in the legal system. Callis, the favored candidate of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Sen. Dick Durbin, is seeking the Democratic nomination in next month's primary to take on freshman Republican Rep. Rodney Davis in November.
Both parties have tabbed Illinois's 13th District as a competitive race to watch in the fall. Davis won his first term in 2012 by just over 1,000 votes.
Callis's TV ad will build her name recognition for the March 18 primary, in which Democratic professor George Gollin has already started TV advertising. But the spot is also an opening play for the general-election eight months later.
Callis's nonpartisan judicial experience was one of the things that first got Democrats excited about her candidacy, but Republicans have since used elements of Callis's tenure — including a low rating for local courts from a tort-reform group and a low rating for Callis personally from lawyers at the beginning of her tenure — to attack the Democrat.
Her campaign's ad pushes back with a career highlight: Callis's formation of a "veterans' court" to help process and treat honorably discharged, nonviolent offenders. The program won praise from, among others, Republican Rep. John Shimkus, who nominated it for an award a few years back and has since complimented Callis's judicial tenure.
The new TV ad featuring the program has broader appeal than a typical spot targeted at a Democratic primary. It's the sort of thing you would expect to see at the start of a general-election race — and it's a reminder that the campaign is well underway, only a few months into the year.

The buzz on Facebook today is how unseasonably warm it is—it feels more like the first day of Spring…not the first day of Winter.
I haven't seen anyone mention that this is the one year anniversary of the date the world was supposed to end.
If you're reading this–congratulations on surviving the, um…apocalypse-type-thing.
No, seriously. Life didn't end…it didn't "end-end." We didn't die off like dinosaurs…our planet didn't explode, or melt, or get sucked into a black hole.
But if you think about the last 12 months…and give or take a few months, just because the Universe is kinda funny that way…and decide for yourself if Life–as you know it–Came To An End.
Mine did. Oh God, mine did. I'm still not OK. I'm still carrying sorrow, regret, and anger…..to name a few.
So many doors have slammed shut for me this year, and I'm standing in darkness, and all I want–no, all I need–is the tiniest bit of light to break through the crack of a new door that's been sealed shut this entire time.
Show me there's a door that is on the verge of opening. Because I almost totally don't believe that anymore. And I question the Law of Attraction…..have I not contributed enough positivity to the world? Have I not let my inner light illuminate the way for others who needed encouragement? Or does it only count when my inner self is radiant…not dim or overcast?
I tried. I thought I did. I probably didn't try hard enough.
So….where am I going with my sad blog post…? Ah, well…..as today comes to a close and I've shed tears again over my broken life and how I am fighting, CLAWING to regain control, I see this in my Facebook newsfeed.
Dear Raja…Dear Sutan…thank you. I think I can hang in there a little longer. At least hold it together through Christmas…for the sake of my son.
I had to thank you above and beyond a "like" or a "comment" on Facebook because you are truly an inspiration to me…in drag, out of drag…on the runway, off the runway…as a makeup artist…as an artist…everything.
It is my goal to help bring awareness to the beauty and art of drag to my friends, family, and complete strangers, and you make it very easy for me to do that because you have unfathomable depth and a higher calling to inspire hope and happiness in others.
This was not the first time (and not the last time, I'm sure) that you've spoken to my heart, but I just wanted you to know how moving your words were–on a day where I really needed to hear something positive. Thank you Raja! I love you, Sutan!!

A SENSE of relief was given voice in Paisley.
It required a goal from Gregg Wylde and the opportunity for supporters to first loosen the phlegm built up during a season congested by disappointments, but would come to express itself clearly. The chorus from St Mirren supporters late on Saturday afternoon spoke to their intuition that their side had been made safe from the relegation play-off place and also carried the accent of Scottish football: their cries of contentment sounding like taunts towards a rival.
Not long after their side had gone ahead, the home fans sang in support of Jamie Hamill, an impromptu ditty belted out at the expense of Derek Adams. It would perhaps be tactless to suggest that the Ross County manager took it on the chin - after all, Hamill had given him such a whack during a match with Hearts last month that Adams was knocked clean off his feet - but it was more likely that he was listening out for something more agreeable. A draw between Hibernian and Partick Thistle on Saturday means that the Edinburgh side can be overhauled by County when the sides meet tomorrow evening.

The arithmetic in the bottom six of the SPFL Premiership is still capable of giving some fans a sore head. St Mirren applied an ice pack at the weekend with a win against County, that result putting the Paisley side in seventh place and five points above the play-off position. There is a trip to Kilmarnock to come on Wednesday but given the possible sequence of results which could still occur in the bottom six, St Mirren have already moved too far to be caught.
St Mirren are now inviolate in the league table but Jim Goodwin kept his vigil on Saturday evening. A retreat from 11th place permits supporters to relax a little during the final fixtures of the campaign, with the visit of Hearts on Saturday concluding things for the Paisley club, although their midfielder spoke instead with agitation about consolidating seventh place. He would ignore the familiar refrain about club finances too, stating simply that his team had proven itself "capable".
A reformed impression of what he is capable of will appeal to Goodwin. He has been booked in 14 matches this season - 15 if you count the red card last month which was downgraded on appeal - to account for his reputation as a brute. He was treated as a villain by County fans at the weekend to the extent that it seemed certain there was a damsel in distress somewhere near the stadium, while a challenge from the St Mirren captain at times provoked anguish on the pitch too.
"I need to be careful of my words here … I think we really need to stamp out the carry-on," said Goodwin, inadvertently putting the boot into the sentiment at the start of his sentence. "It's embarrassing. It's not the way the game should be played; I give out tackles and I expect them in return but the carry-on with trying to get players booked is cheating at the end of the day."
The midfielder would still permit himself to have a little kick out at County - "I think that 1-0 is being a bit kind to Ross County to be honest with you" - although the greater harm might still be caused by players from Hibs and Partick Thistle. The Highland side have taken succour from an impressive record of just eight defeats from 18 matches played since the turn of the year but those results must also be placed in context. County have won only six during the same run.
"We've taken 24 points since January; we've been one of the form teams in the bottom six since then sort of thing," said Ben Gordon, the Ross County full-back. "What we're looking for from the last two games is two big performances and hopefully we can stay away from the play-off."
Gordon would end with clear words of encouragement for his side ahead of the game with Hibs. He did not need to say how great a relief a win would be.

The instructions were some of the worst I have ever seen. I had to go to the Jet website to find out which side faced in before I could even start the install.. And the throttle cable and transmission kick down cable "spacers" were as rudimentary as anyone could imagine. The long and the short of it is it still works as advertised. Great throttle response and noticeable increase in torque. No noticeable increase in MPG yet though, so the computer may still be adjusting. For all those other reviews that said easiest install ever etc, well they are either liars or 8 feet tall. There is no way this 6 footer can stand flat footed and do the install in 30 minutes. After the install info came back from Jet it still took over an hour and a half, cable spacers were the worst part.

Thursday March 13, 2008As you probably already know, development of Death Illustrated was discontinued several years ago and this website has been offline since. There are currently no plans to revive the project and this website is back online only for nostalgic reasons. The site is here in its entirety with the exception of the files section and the forums. At the time of its discontinuation the last official public release was version 0.6Around this time, version 0.6.5 was ready for public release and packaged with an installer, but never quite made its way to the website for download. Likewise we were hurriedly working on version 0.7 and were very close to a release.I've decided to release both versions 0.6.5 and 0.7 and each of them can be downloaded from this page.Version 0.7 contains a new LAN server browser, launcher, and chat room as well as some new models. There is no installer for it, and it's only available as a download in zip format. There is still a known bug in the LAN server launcher but all other components are stable and working well.So that's about it for now, enjoy the last couple of releases of Death Illustrated. So until next time…… (If there IS a next time) ….. Goodbye.

Most people do not have the slightest of the idea how difficult it is to rewrite articles. While one has to maintain the spirit and essences of the original article, the language and writing style, use of words and idioms, all have to vary considerably from the original writing. Else, any competent plagiarism detection tool can easily find out that the contents are copied from elsewhere. That is why it is always prudent to use the services of some experienced article writing services even for the rewrites.
Well Written Contents Will Attract More Traffic
There are many benefits of having qualitative and interesting contents on the website.
If the contents of an article are well written it will naturally attract more traffic;
At the same time it will enhance the image of the website and its value with both search engines and viewers; and
Rewrites cannot be below par and it should be just like the original article writing process which means it should be informative and qualitative and not the word by word copy of the original articles.
Process of Rewriting the Articles to Attract Viewers
Both the website owner and the article writing services should take care of the following points while rewriting the article.
It should never be a blind copy of the original article;
Words and sentences in the rewrites should be carefully chosen;
Contents should be unique and stand on its own even when it is SEO article writing and rewriting; and
Such contents should stand out as different from the original so that no one can blame or claim it to be copied.
Best Methods of Rewriting the Articles
It the rewrite is methodical, the chances of its success would be far too greater in comparison. Here are a few tips for effective rewriting of articles.
Always take care to assess the purpose for which the rewrite is going to be used. If the original article was published on your website, the rewritten one can be published on high traffic websites online.
One of the best ways of going for the rewrite is getting involved in some original article writing that will help the writer gain valuable knowledge and experience about articles on the web.
Next step for the writer would be rewriting the article. Such rewritten article should have –
A title totally different from the original;
Keywords should be alternative and this is the time when LSI keywords come up handy to substitute the original ones;
Synonyms can be used for words and thesaurus will be handy in this regard; and
Even the resource box should be rewritten if there is one.
It Virtually Means Creating a New Article
Since quality rewrite is just like the original article writing, experienced article writing services well versed with the trade would be the best solution for the purpose. With their knowledge and expertise in the line, they can always produce the better contents in comparison to any of the freelancers.
Rewriting article does not mean confining to ideas and facts in the original. Instead it can be expanded well with addition of stories, lists, facts, and other things that would make it most interesting for the viewers.

One Year Later: Stewart Back in Iowa

KNOXVILLE, Iowa - Tony Stewart is spending this week in Iowa watching one of his passions, sprint car racing.
As his World of Outlaws teams gear up for the 54th FVP Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway, Stewart is back in Iowa one year after breaking his right leg racing a sprint car at nearby Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa. He returned to the track on Monday night as a spectator and watched Brian Brown take home the checkered flag in the Front Row Challenge.
"One year ago today my life changed," Stewart tweeted yesterday. "Thank you to everyone that worked so hard to get me back to where I'm at today. It's your life, live it!"
The road to recovery was a long one, but Stewart vowed to get back in a sprint car and he did that for the first time in competition last month at Tri City Motor Speedway in Auburn, Mich. on July 18 and won.
"The biggest thing was I couldn't run anymore Sprint car races," Stewart said. "It was 11 and half months before I got back in one. When you love doing something as much as racing whether it's a dirt car or a Cup car as much as I do you go from being the busiest guy in racing to all of a sudden you are horizontal on the sheets and can't move every day. It's a pretty big adjustment to your life for a while."
Although he's not racing this week in a sprint car, Stewart has about 10 races left this season.
"It was hard to find a bunch of races to go run - for some reason the sprint car schedule and the Cup schedule don't really lineup really well this year like they used to," Stewart said. "We are still going to get a bunch in."
Stewart was in a sprint car on Wednesday in Knoxville, but of a different kind. He raced against Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Kyle Larson and race fans in the second annual Weld Racing Go-Kart Spectacular at Slideways Karting Center to help raise funds for pediatric cancer research. (Read More | Photos)
With eight wins as a car owner in Knoxville Nationals, including five of the last six with Donny Schatz, Stewart still has one item on the bucket list he would like to accomplish in the prestigious race.
"My goal one day is to try and run the Knoxville Nationals," Stewart said. "The dream for me would be just to make the A-Main here so that would be cool."
Motor Racing Network's "Winged Nation" will be live at Knoxville Raceway, streaming nightly through Saturday from 6-7 p.m. (CT) at MRN.com.
