Friday night in Pittsburgh Henrik Lundqvist raised more than a few eyebrows by explaining that he tweaked his hamstring during the shootout against the Penguins. Though he quickly pointed out that he felt "fine", Lundqvist did say that he needed to see how he felt Saturday morning before knowing for sure if he could play that night's game against the Hurricanes in Raleigh.
This morning, following a team meeting at PNC Arena, Lundqvist was asked as he was heading to the team bus how his hamstring felt. He responded, "Everything's good. It's fine," before disappearing down the corridor.
The Rangers official lineup will not be announced until later today, but Lundqvist's thumbs-up, coupled with backup Marty Biron's long on-ice session following the meeting, likely means Lundqvist is good to go against the 'Canes tonight. Biron was one of only three players to skate Saturday morning, being joined by likely scratches J.T. Miller and Matt Gilroy.
Marc Staal worked out off ice again. He will spend some time with his brothers Eric and Jordan after the game and then will return to New York on Sunday when the rest of the team flies to Toronto.
Despite the fact that Penguins forward James Neal was hurt on the play behind the Rangers net last night, Rangers defenseman Michael Del Zotto will not face an NHL disciplinary hearing for his hit on Neal---one in which Del Zotto had his back to the Pens forward when the two collided and Del Zotto's elbow hit Neal up high.
"Obviously it wasn't intentional," Del Zotto said Saturday morning. "Unfortunately there was an injury, and I know him, he's a friend of mine, so I feel terrible about it. It's a quick game and things happen fast out there, and it's just unfortunate there was an injury."
As for tonight's game against the Hurricanes, Del Zotto said that the team is looking to keep building on this past week in which the Rangers have earned five of a possible six points so far.
"We were really happy with how we played last night," offered Del Zotto, who played more than 26 minutes Friday night. "It's unfortunate we didn't get two points, but we have to keep carrying on that momentum and keep playing the way we have been. We need to keep getting points each game."
Derek Stepan, who won the faceoff that led to Rick Nash's tying goal late in the third period on Friday, agreed with Del Zotto about the team's play of late, as well as the need to keep things rolling.
"There are only 11 (games) left now, and they're all huge points," Stepan said on Saturday. "You look at the standings and where we're at right now and they're all must-wins. That's the mindset we have to have, and we need to find ways to play consistently. We're coming. Each night lately we've gotten better and better. Now it all just comes down to consistency, being able to do that every single night."
How are you feeling about tonight's game? Share your thoughts below.

Technology : Treatment Planning and Delivery : On Board Imaging (OBI)
On Board Imaging (OBI) is a real-time imaging system designed to improve the accuracy of treatment delivery to the target site. Because some targets move as the bodies move, it is imperative that that treatment delivery machines recognize and account for this movement while delivering radiation beams to the target region. This improves the accuracy of the delivery, which improves outcomes, and it also spares healthy tissues. Several imaging modalities can be used, including 2D radiographic, fluoroscopic, or 3D cone-beam CT imaging.

Meet your coaching staff
Andrew McMinn
Andrew McMinn is in his third season as head coach at Robert Morris University leading the Colonails to the Northeast Conference Championship Game in 2013.
McMinn had a banner campaign in his first year at the helm in 2012. As a result of his guidance, McMinn was selected as the 2012 Northeast Conference Coach of the Year in voting conducted by his peers. In his first season as a collegiate head coach, McMinn continued the rapid rise of the RMU's men's lacrosse program. He led Robert Morris to a program-record 11 wins in just 15 games, including posting a perfect 5-0 record in league play. As a result, the Colonials claimed the Northeast Conference regular-season crown, the first conference title of any kind for the men's lacrosse program.Read Full Bio
RMU has also been in the national conversation under McMinn. Robert Morris used a six-game winning streak to earn a national ranking for the second time in program history in 2012 as it entered the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Poll in April. The Colonials also posted multiple wins over nationally ranked teams in 2012, the first such occurrence in school history, including a 9-7 victory at Ohio State in March.
Prior to being named head coach, McMinn had previously been the associate head coach for the Colonials. He had served on the Robert Morris staff for six seasons, helping RMU develop from its earliest stages as a program to one that had secured three consecutive winning seasons and a national ranking along with its first postseason berth in the two years prior to his appointment as head coach.
Before joining the Colonials' coaching staff, McMinn was a standout goaltender for the Providence Friars of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). In three seasons as the starting goaltender, he helped lead his team to two regular-season championships, a MAAC Tournament Championship and a berth in the 2004 NCAA Tournament. He was a three-time All-MAAC selection, a 2004 MAAC All-Tournament Team honoree, and he held the top two single-season goals against average marks in MAAC history at the time of his graduation.
During his career, he ranked among the top goaltenders in Division I in both save percentage and goals against average. He ranked fourth nationally in GAA in 2003, allowing just 6.91 tallies per game, and was seventh nationally in save percentage in 2005 with a .599 mark.
McMinn earned his Bachelor's degree in management with a minor in finance from Providence in 2005 and is working to complete his Master's degree in instructional leadership with a concentration in sport management from Robert Morris.

Improve your skills!
The Nike Lax Camp at RMU helps the player understand their skill set, as well as work through some of the issues they may be having on drills, etc. The other bonus was that the players were able to view film of their games. This elevated the instructional aspect to a whole new level, as some players are very visual when working through drills/games.

Best camp!
This is a great camp for players intermediate to advanced. I had a great experience and will be a better lacrosse player for having attended.
Very Impressed!
The Nike Lacrosse Camp at Robert Morris was the perfect experience for my son. It was the ideal atmosphere for Trevor to hone and learn new skills and techniques.
Loved it!
This camp was very positive and corrected the kids abilities in a positive and fun way. Thank you for adding to our son's Lacrosse Skills.
Absolutely the best!
Great coaches at RMU/Nike lacrosse camp and terrific facilities. Saw a big improvement in my game.

LOST Marathon, Milepost 15: Ready to Play?
- Friday, January 22, 2010
Isabel the creepy sheriff lady comes to meet Jack. She speaks Chinese, which is the language of his tattoos. Reads them. Says they're ironic. Asks if he knows what they mean. He insists he does. She's not so sure. Then she asks him to come with her. This time, they pass Alex in the hallway. It's just a regular county lockup in Otherton. Jack is led to an office where Tom sits on one side, Juliet the other, and him in between. Isabel sits behind a desk -- the same desk in the same office that Locke will put his feet up and ask Ben in Season Five why he killed him. Jack covers for Juliet, says he made up the whole, "She asked me to kill Ben" thing because it was his best shot at turning his captors against each other. Isabel knows he's lying - even asks him why - but he clams up.
Next morning, Jack awakes in his cage and finds out what it's like to be a monkey in a zoo. There is a crowd of Others just staring at him! One of them approaches the bars, and says his name. It's Cindy! We haven't seen her since 5 minutes before Shannon was shot, and she remembers Jack from serving him alcohol on the flight. Cindy says they're there to watch, and that "It's not that simple" having been taken and kidnapped and all. The little girl wants to know how Ana-Lucia is doing. Jack's had it. If he were a monkey this would be where he starts throwing feces. Because he starts slinging it verbally real good. "Are you serious?! If you got something to watch Cindy, go watch it!" The little boy gives Jack the stink-eye as they all wander off to Juliet's trial.
Kate and Sawyer wake up to the sound of Karl crying. Sawyer gives him advice about women, and tells Karl that if he loves Alex, even if they do kill him as he goes back to get her, it'll have been worth it.
Alex smashes a camera so she can talk to Jack. She wants to know why Jack saved Ben, fixed him, when he should hate him. Jack wants to know why his daughter wants him dead. Jack learns from her that Juliet's verdict is about to be read, and the Others are firm believers in "eye for an eye." Juliet killed the man who was going to kill Jack's friends, which makes him realize she did it for him. As for Jack, he saved Ben because he said he would. Jack has an idea. Asks if Ben is still in charge, if Isabel will do what Ben says. Yes.
Ben's infection is so bad he may never walk again, says Jack. He'll need round the clock doctor care. Jack offers that, if Ben will give the word for Juliet to be leg go. Ben agrees.
Juliet will not be executed, per Ben's orders, but she will be marked. To Alex, this seems almost as horrifying. The mark is on her lower back, and is an 8-pointed star.
"He walks amongst us but he is not one of us." -- Isabel reads Jack's tattoo. This is why she thought it was ironic, with Jack being among the Others. Jack says that's what it says; it's not what it means. Jack gets into the boat to keep his promise to go with Ben and care for his wounds.
Sawyer let Karl go. Said the kid was a target by Ben, so might as well be far from him. Kate and Saywer argue. She feels guilty about leaving Jack. No, he thinks she feels guilty about sleeping with him, something he thinks she only did since she thought he was a dead man.
Charlie tells Hurley what Desmond told him - that he's gonna die. Hurley thinks it might be his fault, due to the curse. As they talk, Vincent comes running out of the jungle with a decaying human arm, around which is a set of keys and a lucky rabbit's foot. He leads Hurley to a VW bus on its side.
Inside the blue VW is the corpse of "Roger. Work Man." His Dharma jumper has the Swan patch on it. Who ever would have guessed this would turn out to be Ben's father. Whereas people liked Hurley's Season One mission to play some golf to "have some fun" and take their minds off things, nobody's up for helping him fix the car for the same reasons this time around. Jin joins him, because he doesn't know what he just agreed to.

Getting ready for the second edition of Hawks' win-or-go-home basketball. We'll be live blogging shortly. But first, here are two bits of news from the Milwaukee Bucks regarding injured center Andrew Bogut and their serial Tweeting guard, Brandon Jennings.
♦ Bogut is alive! He's active! He's Willis Reed!
OK, he's not playing — so says Bucks coach Scott Skiles. But for the first time since suffering a broken hand and dislocated elbow April 3, Bogut is active for a game. The irony here is that this week is the 40th anniversary of Reed dragging his leg onto the court to play Game 7 of the NBA finals for the New York Knicks against the Los Angeles Lakers, despite a torn muscle in his hip. Skiles insisted Bogut (who still has a wrap on his hand) will not play and is active only because guard Charlie Bell is out (quasi-suspended) for disciplinary reasons. Skiles would not divulge what Bell did to earn the benching.
♦ Jennings, who is coming off a 4-for-15 performance in Game 6, got into it a little with Bucks fans Saturday via Twitter. Jennings (@yungbuck3) has had Twitter issues in the past, even getting fined by NBA commissioner David Stern for post-game Tweeting and battling the Lakers' Jordan Farmar in cyberspace (only to find out later it wasn't really Farmar but a phony account).
But Saturday, Milwaukee fans got on Jennings for perceptions that he wasn't focusing on Game 7 enough because he wanted to watch the Cleveland-Boston game on TV and the Floyd Mayweather-"Sugar" Shane Mosley fight on pay-per-view.
A few of Jennings' Tweets:
In ATL….. Finna chill eat and watch cavs game then the fight….. If that's ok, with you guys. Or should I be focusing! …
that's what I'm sayin I got a life outside of basketball to[sic]. …
Some of y'all getting on my nervous [sic] talking about focus for the game, ummm the game is tomorrow. Like y'all chill out I'm good.
By the way, Jennings also Tweeted this morning that he wasn't feeling well. He confirmed before the game that he has a sore threat but expected to "play through it."
When asked in the locker room about his give-and-take with Bucks' fans, he said: "Yeah, [they said] I should focus on the game. I should be focusing now. But I have a life outside of basketball. There's a lot of things going on. Of course you're gonna want to watch the fight. Of course you want to watch LeBron and them play. You want to chill out. If you keep you're mind on the game all the time you're gong to be in a room going crazy."
Did they get under your skin?
"Yeah, a little bit," he said. "Because, like, I have a life. I'm 20 years old. I can't think about basketball every single day. I've got time to focus now."
Finally, here's one pre-game comment from each coach.
Skiles, alluding to his players not "feeling comfortable" in Game 6, leading to the loss: "I'd like to see both teams play well in the same game and see what happens."
Mike Woodson, on what words he would have for his players: "Just remember how you played in Game 6."

That building is never full. Pretty sad. Nobody even watches on TV. Look at today's AJC. More people are watching the Braves during their 9 game losing streak then the Hawks in the playoffs.

Remember John Koncak? Wow. Though a reliable defender for much of his career, Koncak is perhaps best remembered for the six-year, US$ 13 million contract he received from the Hawks in 1989 – an unprecedented total for a reserve. The deal was roundly criticized since it paid Koncak more than Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Who's call was that???

I'm a Atlanta Hawks, Falcons, and Braves (although I don't watch nor get baseball) for life. All of those teams belong in the ATL. It is just that those in Atlanta have grown tired of having their hearts broken when those teams are the clear FAVORITES in post season play. One of these teams just needs to step up and win us a championship here in Georgia. Could it be the Hawks? Perhaps so. I sincerely hope so.
The other night I commented that the Hawks lost games 3-5 because they wanted to bring excitement to the series and revenues to Atlanta. I initially was just being silly and trying to soothe my broken heart … but to think about it now, could that really be the reality?
The Hawks can and will win in the 2nd round. We had a solid win in the last game of the series in the regular season. Dwight fouls too much and the team is significantly weaker than last years nucleus.
May 2nd, 2010
2:04 pm
My main problem with Koncak is that we could/should have drafted Karl Malone.

NEWPORT, Wash. -- Washington State Patrol and Pend Oreille County Sheriff's Office were investigating a dead body found in Newport City Park early Sunday afternoon.
Officials told KREM 2 News a detective with WSP was requested to assist in the investigation.
Residents said the park was taped off for hours as crews combed through the scene. Officials said they would reopen the park sometime Sunday evening. Authorities said there was no danger to residents in the area.
There was no word on the identity of the victim or the cause of death.

A strong playoff performance, reaching the Final Four for the first time since losing in the Stanley Cup final in 2000, gives the Dallas Stars high expectations heading into next season.
Off-Season Game Plan examines a team that now has a place among the best of the West.
The deadline deal to acquire Brad Richards signified a change in direction for the Stars, giving the team another legitimate leader to go into the playoffs and beyond.
Dallas' best opportunity to win may be next season, as there is a nice balance of experience and emerging young talent that should have the Stars right back in the title mix.
Of course, in the hotly-contested Western Conference, the margin for error is so small that the Stars will need to make the right moves this summer in order to maintain their place.
The spring signing of Fabian Brunnstrom was a good start, but with Mattias Norstrom retiring and several other Stars headed for free agency, co-GMs Brett Hull and Les Jackson can't afford to be complacent.
Given their 2007-2008 success, the Stars will enter next season with high expectations; that's the kind of deal that any team in the league would take.
GM/COACHLes Jackson, Brett Hull/Dave Tippett
Top Prospects: Fabian Brunnstrom, James Neal, Konstantin Pushkarev
Captain Brenden Morrow is coming off his best season as a pro, and he picked up his game even more in the postseason. A heart-and-sould winger who played in every game and put up 74 points with a plus-23 is a rare commodity. Only nine forwards in the entire league topped both 70 points and a plus-20 rating.
One of those players was Morrow's centreman, Mike Ribeiro, who had a career season in his own right, scoring 83 points. Ribeiro's game has transformed in Big D, where he's earned first-line responsibility.
Jere Lehtinen is a very reliable player who can play in all situations when he stays healthy, but the three-time Selke winner played only 48 games in 2007-2008.
While the acquisition of Brad Richards had to be seen as a positive, particularly in light of the Stars' extended playoff run, but he needs to tidy up his plus-minus after going a combined minus-46 over the last two seasons (the bulk of which was, admittedly, spent in Tampa Bay). Nevertheless, Richards' presence makes the Stars deep down the middle, keeping them right in the mix of Western Conference contenders.
38-year-old Mike Modano can still skate with the effortless grace of a much younger man but, assuming he has the desire to play another season, Modano is at the stage of his career where he's better off in a reduced role while also working for additional ice time on special teams.
At the other end of the experience spectrum, Joel Lundqvist is just trying to make his mark enough that he can be in the lineup every day. Eager to get physically involved in the action, Lundqvist has some offensive upside that should earn him a regular spot in the lineup next season.
Agitator Steve Ott tied his career-high with 22 points, increasing his value a little beyond merely what he takes away from the opposition.
Journeyman Toby Petersen only played in eight regular season games before doubling that total in the postseason, earning a new contract shortly after season's end and likely figuring into the team's plans for next season.
Krys Barch is one of the most eager combatants in the game. He's not quite a true heavyweight in stature, but Barch takes on all comers in his part-time role.
22-year-old Loui Eriksson hit his stride as an NHLer in the second half of the season and he has enough offensive upside to earn a spot on a scoring line.
One newcomer who won't be quietly arriving in Big D is Fabian Brunnstrom, the hyped Swedish winger who scored 37 points in 54 games during his first year in the Swedish Elite League, causing a bidding war for his services.
Brunnstrom chose the Stars, in part, because there are openings on the wing for him to play with a high-quality centre. Expectations should be tempered but, at the very least, Brunnstrom qualifies as a promising addition.
Though the Stars don't have room for any big-ticket signings, they could shore up their forward ranks with a second or third tier winger like Michael Ryder, Martin Straka or Ruslan Fedotenko.
Top Prospects: Ivan Vishnevskiy, Jussi Timonen
A sports hernia kept Sergei Zubov out of action from mid-January through to the second round of the playoffs when he, understandably, wasn't at his peak. Even so, the 37-year-old remains a quality power play quarterback because of his superior instincts.
Injuries created more opportunities for Stephane Robidas and he responded with a career-high 26 points before adding another 11 points in the playoffs. He's not the ideal power play quarterback, but a heck of a fall-back option.
Injuries made Philippe Boucher's 2007-2008 season a virtual washout, which was unfortunate coming off his career-best season in 2006-2007. When healthy, Boucher has a heavy shot and puckhandling skills that make him a good fit on the power play.
As Boucher faded out of the lineup, rookie Matt Niskanen rose up, becoming one of seven defencemen in the league to finish with at least 20 points and a plus-20 rating. His role diminished in the playoffs, but Niskanen has a bright future as a puck-moving defenceman.
24-year-old Trevor Daley earned a contract extension after posting a career-high 24 points and growing into a more prominent role on the blueline. If Daley can build on a strong finish to the season, he'll be a good investment.
Stay-at-home defenceman Nicklas Grossman was an early-season call-up and he handled more responsibility as time went on. With Mattias Norstrom retiring, Grossman's development as a defensive stopper is important to the Stars' fortunes.
Another bruising defensive option, Mark Fistric, got his feet wet playing in 37 regular season games and another nine playoff games. He's ready for a full season, if only in a limited third-pairing role.
With everyone healthy and returning, the Stars would have seven NHL defencemen already on hand, so there isn't a great need to invest in free agents, but the Stars may want to grab some veteran depth as insurance, just in case last year's injuries were a reflection of an aging group rather than mere fluke.
Top Prospect: Tobias Stephan
After too many playoff stings that were too short, Marty Turco exorcised that demon with a stellar run in the postseason and the veteran is just a fraction below the league's elite puckstoppers.
With Mike Smith getting dealt away at the deadline, Johan Holmqvist was the backup and got into two games in the final quarter of the season. The Stars don't have anyone waiting in the wings on the farm, so some veteran, be it Holmqvist or someone else, needs to be on hand to spell Turco when necessary.
DRAFTNo first-round pick
Needs: Depth forwards, depth defenceman What I said the Stars needed last year: Two top nine forwards, One top four defenceman Who did they add? Joel Lundqvist, Brad Winchester, Matt Niskanen

Ronald Schiller, the Vice Chair of the firm, has a broadly diversified trial and arbitration practice. Ron is a business litigator. Ron advises financial institutions, insurers and reinsurers, technology companies and manufacturers and service providers on litigation avoidance and strategies for trial and settlement. He has hands-on involvement on a routine basis on sensitive and high exposure matters to his clients. He is frequently brought in to litigation when the client desires a fresh evaluation or for the litigation to be prepared for trial and tried. He has also taken over matters for appeal and currently has an active appeal docket.
Ron has represented the world's largest insurers in sophisticated coverage, bad faith, and reinsurance disputes, including in several trials. Since January 2012, he and his team have prepared several insurance coverage disputes for trial, with one ending in a pretrial Phase One result in favor of the client and the other being delayed for a Phase Two coverage trial in 2013 or 2014. Ron has also represented government contractors and universities in patent and licensing disputes that went to trial in 2012, and his team has represented commercial online services, telecommunication companies, and backbone and equipment providers in high-stakes commercial litigation against competitors and municipalities.
In the last few years alone, Ron and his teams have tried two bad faith cases in state court and handled one multi-week insurance coverage trial in federal court over a claim for approximately $100 million of claimed indemnity and defense exposure. He has also tried two non-jury cases in state and federal courts between insurers, both to wins for the firm's clients. He has prepared and successfully tried arbitrations. He has also been hired to take over cases shortly before trial, and to take over complex litigation for post-trial proceedings for insurers and reinsurers.
In 2012, Ron tried two Intellectual Property matters, one for a state university over patent rights in a genetic mutation used for diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's Disease (three week trial in federal court), and one in arbitration over licensing fees claimed for sophisticated surveillance technology. Ron and his team have also been retained for litigation involving outsourced technology deals for public institutions and contractors, trying one such seminal dispute to a jury win of several million dollars.
The respected English publisher Chambers & Partners recognized Ron in Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business, noting that clients admire him as "someone who consistently wins big cases." He has repeatedly been selected by his peers as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer and has been named in The Best Lawyers in America.

Tanks for Haddock Broodstock
NRC's Marine Research Station at Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia has a wide variety of specialized equipment for aquaculture research. Here haddock broodstock are housed in large tanks, covered to help control the tank environment. Seawater is pumped 24-hours-a-day to supply this and other research projects, and the water is heated, filtered, or cooled as required. The haddock broodstock are used as a source for fertilized eggs. These are collected and incubated to produce larval haddock as part of a research program to identify best-practices for haddock aquaculture.
The National Research Council of Canada Institute for Marine Biosciences, NRC-IMB, is an internationally recognized leader in Marine Biosciences and Biotechnology research. It is among the main anchors for life sciences research in Atlantic Canada.
Questions We're working to Answer
At the Institute for Marine Biosciences, our researchers specialize in studying aquaculture, natural toxins and genomics. They investigate ways to improve farming practices of marine food, such as fish and seaweed. These scientists want to make sure the resources that we take and use from the sea are sustainable. Our researchers also study toxins, and try to identify different diseases and poisons in the ocean.
Through genomic research, our scientists try and learn things from marine creatures that might have useful applications for humans. By focusing on all these things, our researchers hope to make the seafood that we eat safer, healthier and sustainable. One of the many questions we're working to answer is how can we improve the productivity of Atlantic halibut?
Mapping the Future of Halibut Culture
Genetic mapping may be the key to improving the productivity of Atlantic halibut, a promising species for diversification of the salmon culture industry in Atlantic Canada. By using detailed genetic information from the halibut and by breeding selected individuals, significant improvements in their production can be made. This process of selection of domestic strains has been used in agriculture for decades, but has not been widely used in commercial fish culture.
Genetic research of Atlantic halibut is a collaborative effort between the National Research Council Institute of Marine Biosciences (NRC-IMB) , Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), and industry partner, Scotian Halibut Limited. The researchers are entering the third phase of the genetics project. The initial phases allowed them to identify the parentage of the first generation of fish (pedigree analysis) being used for breeding purposes. These first generation halibut, offspring from adults caught in the wild, were kept communally at separate hatcheries.
The researchers are now focussing on the identification of locations on the genetic map that contribute to improved growth and disease resistance. Funding is provided from a Genome Canada/Genome Spain project called Pleurogene.
DNA fingerprinting proves useful
Using genetic markers called microsatellites, researchers have determined the parentage of 98% of the first generation of fish held at the DFO Biological Station and in industry facilities. Microsatellites are regions of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid which is the carrier of genetic information) that are highly variable among individuals in a population but are inherited by offspring from their parents. This technique is commonly referred to as "DNA fingerprinting".
Microsatellite markers are also essential tools for the development of genetic maps and the identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL), areas on the map linked to desirable traits such as good growth, disease resistance and so on. The researchers will continue the study to further identify markers linked to QTL to select fish with desirable traits at an early age and thus increase the efficiency of the broodstock selection program.
Atlantic halibut are extremely large, sometimes reaching over two metres in length, and have a relatively late age of maturity of five to seven years before they are capable of producing offspring. Therefore, they are costly to keep in captivity, unlike some other cultured fish, such as salmon where there may be hundreds of broodstock kept for spawning purposes. Once a desirable halibut broodstock is achieved it could provide quality offspring for many years.

Saturdays and Teacakes
by Lester Laminack
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Wonderful story of a young boys relationship to his grandma.
This book is about a boy that bikes to his grandma every Saturday. The grandma always waits for him in a old chair with some tea. The boy has to help and then they make teacakes. When the teacakes get done they eat it with tea and then the boy brings it home. When the sun is lowing down the grandma makes a tomato sandwich that the boy harvested. That is the bye bye present and then she waits him again on next Saturday.
Saturdays and Teacakes is a story about the author's experience as a young boy. Every Saturday he rides his bike through town to go to his grandmothers. Lester Laminack celebrates the significance and value of the "small things" in life as he and his grandmother enjoy the Saturday rituals - mowing the grass, tomato sandwiches, drink ice tea, make teacakes. Not only is this book a touching story that shows the powerful relationship between grandmother and grandson, Lester Laminack strategically uses writer's craft. This book is a valuable tool for classroom teachers to use in demonstrating personal narratives, memoir, and intentional use of a variety of writer's crafts.
This book is fabulous for teaching author's craft. Lester is intentional about the craft he uses and does it so well in this book.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 156145303X, Hardcover)When I was nine or ten years old I couldn't wait for Saturdays. I got up early, dressed, and rolled my bicycle out of the garage.
So begins author Lester Laminack's poetic memory of the adult who made him feel incredibly special-his grandmother. Every Saturday, the narrator, a young boy, rides his bicycle up and down country roads past farms, a graveyard, and a filling station, until he reaches his beloved Mammaw's house. She is waiting for him. While she picks tomatoes, he pushes the lawnmower through the dew-wet grass. Afterwards, he always helps her make teacakes from scratch, breaking the eggs and stirring the batter. But the best part, he remembers, is eating the hot, sweet cakes fresh from the oven.
Children will understand the special relationship of the narrator and his grandmother. Set in a small town in the Leave It to Beaver days of the mid-sixties, the story evokes a gentler and more innocent time and place. Young readers will almost hear the sounds of bicycle wheels on gravel and the criiick-craaack-criiick of a metal glider in Laminack's richly detailed prose. Award-winning illustrator Chris Soentpiet's images beautifully capture the relationship and the place, perfectly depicting the simplicity of an earlier time.

A young boy remembers the Saturdays when he was nine or ten and he would ride his bicycle to his Ma'am-maw's house, where they spent the day together mowing the lawn, picking vegetables, eating lunch, and making delicious, sweet teacakes.

Current and Pending Laws Affect Your Access to Tobacco Products
A smoker's right to smoke has steadily eroded over the past decade. In some places, you can't light up a traditional cigarette virtually anywhere except your own car or home.
Smoking bans are one of the reasons for the increasing popularity of electronic cigarettes.
But, if you smoke regular or e-cigarettes, you should be aware of laws that could limit your right to purchase as well as use tobacco products.
Some laws, such as those prohibit sales to children, make sense. But others seem aimed at picking your pocket and limiting your choices.
Here are some laws and pending legislation you should know about:
Sales to Minors
A number of states are trying to pass — or have already approved — legislation banning the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors.
South Carolina, Utah, Oklahoma and Rhode Island are among states with such bills under consideration. States that have already passed laws prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to children include New York, California, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee and Minnesota.
Federal laws regulate the sale of tobacco to minors but do not govern retails of electronic cigarettes, which contain nicotine but not tobacco.
So it's up to individual states to enact laws to prevent the sale of e-cigarettes to minors.
Premium Vapes Electronic Cigarettes aims to protect children from purchasing electronic cigarettes. Our online store is restricted to visitors who verify that they are 18 years of age or older.
Electronic Cigarette Tax
Vapers in Utah face an 86 percent tax increase on electronic cigarettes, under a bill proposed by Rep. Paul Ray, a Republican from Clearfield.
Ray told the state's House Health and Human Services Committee on March 5 that his bill is intended to keep electronic cigarettes away from children. But the tax would make ecigarettes more expensive for adults.
The bill, HB 372, passed the House Health and Human Services Committee March 6. The proposed tax hike applies to the "juice" — a liquid containing nicotine, water, propylene glycol and flavoring — used to fill an electronic cigarette cartridge. The law would not pose additional taxes on accessories, such as the batteries and AC adapters.
Adults faced with tax increases such as the one proposed in Utah could save money by shopping online. Electronic cigarettes sold online are not affected by state "sin" taxes on e-cigs.
Freedom to Choose
If you look at the cigarette counters at gas stations, convenience stores and smoke shops, you might wonder if anyone is making new brands of cigarettes these days. But the reason the store displays look unchanged isn't because companies have stopped making new cigarettes — it's because the Food and Drug Administration is taking a very long time to review applications.
Since 2009, when the FDA was given authority to regulate cigarettes, the agency has received about 3,500 applications to approve new tobacco products. — products new in design or taste but substantially equivalent to cigarettes already on the market. In more than three years, not a single application has been approved or rejected, leaving innovators in limbo and smokers without the freedom to try new brands.
The FDA, while recently asserting its intention to expedite its review process, also defends its slowness. David Ashley, director of the Office of Science at the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, says minor differences in composition or design could make a product more habit-forming or more dangerous to your health, according to a statement he made to Jacob Grier, a contributor to The Atlantic.
But, as Grier points out, the years-long delay in processing applications may benefit big tobacco companies more than the public because it has kept new players off the field. "Three years into FDA regulation, Philip Morris claims nearly fifty percent of American cigarette sales," Grier wrote in his March 6 article.
Speak Up
If you're concerned about government regulations that limit your freedom to smoke, let your legislators know how you feel. You can find contact information for your state and local lawmakers online. Or you can add your name to online petitions.

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) - The city of New Albany is taking a proactive approach in preventing a bed bug outbreak in public housing.
Friday, special bed bug sniffing dogs were brought in to search the Mark Elrod Tower, a senior public housing unit.
Housing officials said they have not seen any major problems, but they want to stay ahead of the problem.
The search costs the city $10 for every unit the dogs search, plus the cost to treat an area if bed bugs are found.

Let Your Portfolio Touch the Clouds With This Stock
Mihir is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
This is the information age, and here, people accept a company's merit on the basis of its ability to quickly and efficiently convert data into results. This need for results has led to the rapid emergence of cloud service providers that have equipped businesses with the tools and services they need to succeed. J2 Global (NASDAQ: JCOM), a leading cloud services provider, has become a known brand in the world of cloud services and a hit among investors.
Great performance: check
Shares of J2 have nearly doubled in value over the year thanks to consistent performance. It also gained nearly 4% in price after the second quarter earnings call. J2's management termed the second quarter as one of the best in terms of overall performance. The company comfortably beat top-line estimate with quarterly revenue of $141.4 million, an increase of 58% on a year-over-year basis. As a result of high revenue, non GAAP EPS came in at $0.83 per diluted share, compared to $0.70 in the second quarter of 2012. The massive improvement in performance also propelled the company to increase its quarterly dividend from $0.24 per share to $0.2475 per share.
Business growth: check
J2 has managed its business under two huge verticals: Business Cloud Services and Digital Media. The company actually started out with the digital media business in late 2012 after it acquired Ziff Davis in November. I must admit that J2 has done a phenomenal job in just three quarters to become a valuable brand in this industry, thereby attracting a greater number of advertisers.
J2 has made some smart and valuable acquisitions in the last few months, with the latest one being the acquisition of IGN in order to increase its portfolio of digital properties. As this article points out, IGN's specialization in video content, coupled with Ziff Davis' strength in data analytics, will only increase its market reach.
One of the main components of J2's cloud services, online faxing, has been a major contributor to its overall revenue. While the expansion of J2's business has led to a reduction in percentage contribution of faxing services, it is growing reasonably well.
Besides a surge in metrics like revenue and net income, another positive aspect in the second quarter results was a record low cancellation rate. The cancellation rate fell to 2.21%, compared to 3.3% in the year-ago period, displaying the mettle of company's well-trained employees, as well as confidence of clients in its services.
Combating competition: check
While J2 global had a robust second quarter, its rival Citrix (NASDAQ: CTXS) also had a decent quarter, with sizable growth in its SaaS business. Citrix has shown considerable skill in providing cloud services to small and big businesses, which was proved just last week after leading analyst firm IDC announced the company's GoToAssist solution package was the global market share leader in remote support solutions. While Citrix has grown revenue at double-digit rates over the last few years, the movement of its share price has not kept up with the growth.
As of now, the company is betting largely on its cloud network platform NetScaler, which has achieved significant success in the cloud business. NetScaler is preferred by enterprises because it provides an integrated solution for setting up and operating a cloud-based platform with precision. For the record, NetScaler saw a massive gain of 46% in second quarter revenue, as well as an increase in customer meetings.
Amdocs (NYSE: DOX) has been quite a steady stock in terms of price movement, gaining slowly for most part of the year. The stock has delivered approximately 21.3% in returns to shareholders, compared to the S&P 500's total return of 23.3% over the last 12 months.
Recently, Amdocs added another feather to its cap by grabbing a five-year agreement with Vodafone for managing its customer care and billing domain. This is a commendable achievement considering the fact the cellular network providers are the company's major revenue generators. In the North American region, carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile are critical to Amdocs' operations, and the company could use the agreement with Vodafone to secure big wins with American carriers.
Enough reasons to buy!
For any investor, the essential job is to effectively analyze a company in order to plan an investment. When a company has multiple products/services and sources of revenue then this analysis becomes complicated. However, J2 is an easily comprehensible business, and investors can conveniently understand the sources of revenue and its sustainability.
Additionally, it is quite a cash-rich company, with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $214.9 million as of June 30. In the second quarter, J2 generated $66 million in free cash flow on account of high revenue and better margins.
Currently, J2 is trading at a PBV ratio of around 3.6, which is quite reasonable when compared to its peers. Also, the stock has proved its worth by delivering a return of around 81%, which is around 3 times the S&P 500 total return over the last year. J2 is definitely a worthy buy.

The Band Perry topped the Billboard Country Chart this week with their sophomore album, Pioneer. With 129,000 units sold, the sibling trio also landed in second place on the Billboard 200 chart and were just shy of Justin Timberlake's sales of The 20/20 Experience by 10,000 copies.
TBP were ecstatic and grateful to hear the big news as they took to Facebook & Twitter:
Wow!!! #Pioneer debuts at #1 Top Country Album AND #2 @Billboard 200!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
The album's lead single, "Better Dig Two," hit number one earlier this year. On track for seemingly similar success is the current single, "Done," which jumped from 20 to 7 on the Country Digital Sales chart.
If you have not already, make sure you buy your copy of Pioneer! We promise you will not be disappointed.
TBP will also be hitting the road this summer with Rascal Flatts and Cassadee Pope. That is a show you do not want to miss! Visit www.thebandperry.com for more info and tour dates.
Congratulations to The Band Perry! We are huge fans ourselves and are very excited for them.

Okay… So… Melvins at Electric Brixton. Full report. Both shows.
I didn't exactly take many photos, but there's are a couple up there.
Day 1 - Lysol, Egg Nog & Houdini
Got in to the venue about half 7. Normally get to shows for doors to get a good spot, but the last couple of times I saw the Melvins they didn't come on until rather late (one time they didn't even have a support band and didn't come on until at least half 9 so I was standing around for AGES and it was really fucking boring and tiresome)… I guessed they'd be on at half 8 or something. Alas no, they were on at 8. Pretty early start. I was pretty much in front of Dale for this night, behind one guy.
They came on and started off with Charmicarmicat, which was slow and heavy as fuck. It was kind of hypnotic in a really slow dirgy way. That was really great, and then from that into Hung Bunny and Roman Dog Bird, which totally killed. Those three songs were like half an hour in total and a definite highlight for me! After that I think they rattled through all of the shorter Egg Nog tracks. I'm not a huge Egg Nog fan, but they were pretty good. Then With Teeth… Then Second Coming and Ballad Of Dwight Fry, which was fucking great. They closed the first set with Sacrifice.
After a quick break they came back to do Houdini. Judging by how much more active it got down the front I think a lot of people were definitely more familiar with Houdini. At some point I ended up on the barrier. I can't even remember what order they played stuff and I'm not even going to try to remember… The highlights for me were pretty much my favourites from the album - Hag Me, Joan Of Arc, Honey Bucket, Copache. All great songs, and really great to hear them live! Oh, Spread Eagle Beagle was a revelation. I mentioned this before, but Jared was doing some singing over Dale and Coady's drumming and I really don't know what it was - if he was just improvising or whatever but it sounded fucking great. Then he walked over to where I was, put his hand on the barrier and climbed into the audience, right next to me… Still singing. He pretty much got mugged… He'd taped some water bottles to his head and some cardboard armour round himself and people were just pulling it off him! He managed to get back on stage (looking a disheveled) and Dale and Coady finished up with a bit more drumming. I don't even like Spead Eagle Beagle, so it was so cool to see them play such a weird and awesome version.
Day 2 - Bullhead & Stoner Witch
Arrived a bit earlier and got a spot on the barrier in front of Coady this time. Slightly over to the side where Buzz was. Spent a fair bit of time chatting to the bloke next to me, who was a really nice guy. The band came on a bit later… Maybe 20 past 8 or something. I can rarely remember the titles of any of the tracks on Bullhead, let alone thinking about what order they played them in… I know they played Boris last, and that was great. If I had an Exorcism was fantastic too. And Zodiac. I was pretty disappointed they didn't play Euthanasia - I know it's not on Bullhead, but I'm pretty sure they were playing it at the US residency shows… I love that song.
A quick break and they were back for Stoner Witch. They started with a really really drawn out version of Lividity. There was several minutes where it was just Dale and Coady on stage playing their hi-hats with feet. Really slowly. Then Jared came on did a quick lap of the stage and started waving his cardboard tube sword around before picking up his bass and getting it going. Yeah, he had a cardboard sword and shield to go with his cardboard armour on this night. It went on a bit but it was really fucking good when they got into it. I can't remember the order of anything else. At some point before At The Stake a crowdsurfer kicked the right lens out of my glasses so I couldn't see, but that song totally RULED. Somehow (and I'm still not quite sure how I managed this) but I was able to find my glasses lens on the floor and screw it back in with my nail during the set. I'm amazed I actually found it so quickly and no one had stood on it or crushed me when I went to pick it up! Revolve and Roadbull were both excellent… The whole set was really. I enjoyed Stoner Witch a whole lot. I think it may have been my favourite from the two nights… I mean, I came back with a real urge to listen to it straight after the gig, which has to be a good sign, right?! Oh the whole thing ended with a wicked drum solo rhythm sort of thing while Jared climbed into the audience again. This time with his sword and shield…
So yeah, I've got to say this was definitely the best time I've seen these guys. It really is a totally different show with two drummers. I spent most of the first night just transfixed… Partly due to where I was standing I guess. The sound was fucking great, even at the front where I was. There was no interesting merch - just t-shirts. Amazing shows though.

Faith's Checkbook - May 15
May 15
God's High Places
"I will set him on high, because he hath known My Name" (Psalm 91:14).
Does the LORD say this to me? Yes, if I have known His name. Blessed be the LORD, I am no stranger to Him. I have tried Him, proved Him, and known Him, and therefore do I trust Him. I know His name as a sin-hating God, for by His Spirit's convincing power I have been taught that He will never wink at evil. But I also know Him as the sin-pardoning God in Christ Jesus, for He has forgiven me all trespasses. His name is faithfulness, and I know it, for He has never forsaken me though my troubles have multiplied upon me.
This knowledge is a gift of grace, and the LORD makes it to be the reason why He grants another grace-gift, namely, setting on high. This is grace upon grace. Observe that if we climb on high, the position may be dangerous; but if the LORD sets us there it is safe. He may raise us to great usefulness, to eminent experience, to success in service, to leadership among workers, to a father's place among the little ones. If He does not do this, He may set us on high by near fellowship, clear insight, holy triumph, and gracious anticipation of eternal glory. When God sets us on high, Satan himself cannot pull us down. Oh, that this may be our case all through this day!

Improving TED Conversations system. (Suggestions)
I have been using TED conversations for some time now and I think this wonderful environment can benefit from some changes and also addition of some features.
1- Notification Panel
A new page or an Ajax plugin that can show all the recent contributions that are related to each individual user. for example I want to be able to easily see the comments on my questions, replies and likes all in real time and in a news like format. the already used comment tab is not well informing.
2-Limiting the number of Conversations one can run simultaneously.
I see some people create a dozen (I counted and it was 12) conversations at once. I believe this can harm the quality of those conversations as one may not be able to read and reply comments on all those conversations. I question the reasons of running 12 conversations all together. a normal number to my opinion should be around 3 for a month period. and users should be able to create new conversations as soon as one of their already running conversations expire.
3- built in video player for external video links that users post in their comments.
I think it will be useful since the user stays in the conversation page and remains concentrated on the topic while leaving the page may be totally distracting.
4- A simple white board like screen
sometimes I feel the need to show the relation of some concepts or a hierarchy of elements and such a tool can help one to present an idea.
5-Conversation TEXT OR conversation VOICE OR conversation VIDEO
Although it may not be easily to implement, it may be a good idea to make the conversations multimedia, I would love to join a conversation all posted in Audio format or even Video.
6- Virtual Conference room.
I know that people are online and just have commented on my answer but I do not have the means to start a conversation with them in real time. many people can see the online conversations and may prefer to join it.

Mar 31 2012: Robots can do any necessary work no One WANTS to do (or not enough People), what People who contribute positively receive is social currency: appreciation, respect, lauds, gratitude, status, recognition and Self satisfaction. If there is doubt that these "coins" will not motivate People to contribute as Their bliss directs Them, One has only to look at Linux. The whole was developed freely, with the bliss of programming, making better, providing solutions - but no money.
Remove the "work ethic" (a slave's "ethic" - enrich Others with One's Human energy) and promote a Betterment Ethic.
Marx's ideas were scarcity paradigm ideas. The Abundance Paradigm is wholly different. Marx presumed one (relatively) meager pie, hacked up evenly. Communism is a scarcity paradigm solution. The Abundance Paradigm is more like a giant warehouse full of pies, from which Each may take as much or as little as One chooses.
In the Abundance Paradigm, one is "rich" when One is regarded highly, and as such, there are no "poor" People, per se, except Those found to have broken one or more of the three Laws:
Do not willfully hurt or kill another Being
Do not willfully take or damage the property of another Being
Do not willfully defraud another Being
A Being (cap the "B") is of a sentient, sapient species.
In the case of breaking one or more of these Laws, status is lost, confinement in solitary luxury may occur, but always One becomes pariah. Pariahhood is an EARNED status based on chosen behavior, not a "birthright" or a monetarily defined status.
Running out of characters... [sigh] Would be more than happy to define more, such as stigmergic governance via the web (see http://journal.media-culture.org.au/0605/03-elliott.php for a definition of stigmergy), open source, focus on organics, and more. I would add that I offer more in depth presentations on My blog, linked in My profile.
Apr 5 2012: Dear Amaterasu,
I do relate to your mission of raising awareness toward the concepts previously mentioned.
as a linux user, I can understand non monetary motivations and you are right in my opinion.
Replacing the nonsense work ethic with betterment ethic. This is a concept worthy of discussion by itself. there are too many chains limiting people from even thinking about this. It is ironic that people resist what is actually for their benefit and that has always been like that for the majority.
I was not aware that a financial theory is present based on abundance, as My school of thought is scarcity-oriented itself and I feel the need to truly understand the idea of abundance and possibly replace it. although I have little knowledge of its implications now. I am going to investigate. and I can tell already that in scarcity paradigm it is not possible to grow unless breaking one of those rules you mentioned but in abundance it is the default expectation without breaking those rules. is this what's meant ?
I have checked your weblog and I am interested to know more.
Thank you very much for being there enlightening our world.
Cordially yours,

After hearing about the pregnant radio show host whose water broke on the air out in Denver, I have to admit feeling like I kind of got gypped when I had my son seven years ago. I wound up being induced 10 days early because he was getting too big, so the doctors broke my water with one of those funky little sticks instead of it happening naturally. (Oh yes, it was just as pleasant as it sounds.)
It would've been so cool to reminisce about where I was and what I was doing when the water started flowing. Since I don't have a good story to tell, I thought it would be fun to check with other moms to see what kind of laughable moments they had. (So I can live vicariously through them.)
Get ready to chuckle after hearing these 11 water breaking stories moms will never forget!
Do you have a funny water breaking story you'd care to share?
Image via dlisbona/Flickr
My story isn't funny per se, but it randomly broke when I was sitting on the couch! And then I booked it to the toilet where the rest of it came out.
I had to take our two (big) dogs to the vet three weeks before my due date, to get their rabies shots. We were going to take them into the groomer's so they would be all cleaned up before we brought the baby home. I had gotten their shots and was waiting to pay at the front desk, and had to excuse myself because I felt *something*. I knew I hadn't peed on myself, but I ran to the bathroom to check it out. Wrestled my dogs in there with me, and sure enough, my water had broken. I came out and asked the receptionist if they could just bill me, because I had to go, right now. They were all uhhh, sure? I said, I think my water just broke, and everyone but me commenced to freaking out. They were wanting to call an ambulance and everything! I just loaded the dogs back in the truck and drove home (30 minutes the OTHER way from the hospital), unloaded the dogs and loaded my husband, who was also freaking out, and we drove BACK to town, to the hospital. Good times lol
The first time my water broke while I was baking cupcakes. It popped right as the timer went off while i was getting up off the couch. The second time it broke at 2am,I woke from a dead sleep and felt odd. i jumped out of bed just in time to save my mattress. I started laughing and announced "Honey, its time"
I was scheduled to be induced and a few days beforehand, I went to my DR for the last check up. He checked my cervix, like normal and it was only slightly dilated. maybe 2cm. Doc leaves the room, my boyfriends helps me up to get dressed. As soon as I stand up GUSH! Water broke all over the floor.
I tell my borfriend to go get the doc back in the room. BF sticks his head out the doors, calls out ot the DR "I think he water just broke." I hear the DR call back "That's impossible, I just checked her." So he peaks around the door and goes "Oh. Yep. She broke. See you at the hospital in a few hours!"
So I get dressed, being extremely grossed out and make it down to the car, where my BF lays down newspaper in the passenger seat...>.>

You can take the six-time Oscar nominee out of the small town . . .
February 1, 2003 | by Michael Hall | My Life
Four women spent more than thirteen years in prison because of bad science and scurrilous tales told by children who had been coached by an adult. They're free now, but who else is sitting behind bars based on these types of false accusations?
November 19, 2013 | by Michael Hall | Criminal Justice
Eight years ago Margie Cantrell pushed law enforcement to investigate allegations of abuse by a group of adults in Mineola. Seven people were convicted of child sexual abuse, and the scandal rocked East Texas. Now, two of those same children are alleging Cantrell physically abused them.

Was the quaint East Texas town of Mineola home to a horrific child sex ring? Were the three people sent to prison last year for running it guilty? Was justice served? Depends on which district attorney you ask.
