Cross-linked polyethylene foam (also known as XLPE) is a closed-cell foam characterized by a compact feel and resistance to water. It has many of the same properties as polyethylene foam but also has the ability to protect class "A" surfaces and is consequently used extensively in the packaging of medical products and equipment.
Compression molding and thermoforming are common fabricating methods used when creating components, packaging and products from closed-cell cross-linked polyethylene foams. These fabrication methods provide a unique finish that is aesthetically pleasing while still providing the necessary cushioning and support required.
Closed-cell cross-linked polyethylene foams are commonly used in the following applications:

Forint Weakens to 2 1/2-Year Low on Hungary Downgrade Concern
Hungary's forint slid to its weakest versus the euro in 2 1/2 years on concern the country's bond rating will be downgraded and a Greek referendum may threaten Europe's bailout plan.
The forint depreciated as much as 2.2 percent to its lowest intraday level since March 2009. It traded down 1.9 percent to 309.03 per euro by 4 p.m. in London, the world's worst currency performance today. Hungarian markets are closed for a holiday.
Global stocks sank as investors bought German bunds after Greece announced a referendum on Europe's rescue plan, threatening to send the nation into default. Investors should sell the forint against Turkey's lira as Hungary faces a "serious risk" of a rating cut, Societe Generale SA said.
"More pain is in the offing for forint assets," Guillaume Salomon, a SocGen strategist in London, wrote in a report today.
Hungarian bonds tumbled, lifting the yield on the benchmark 2017 notes by 18 basis points, or 0.18 percentage point, to 7.794 percent, the highest in four weeks.
Economy Minister Gyorgy Matolcsy told Heti Valasz magazine last week Hungary faces a "real threat" of a downgrade to junk. The most-indebted eastern member of the European Union has the lowest investment-grade rating from Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.
"Locals, policy makers and investors, see an S&P downgrade as a done deal in Hungary," Peter Attard Montalto, an economist at Nomura International Plc in London, wrote in an e-mail today. "The fact the government is openly talking about it is a sign we must ready ourselves for the event."
Rate Bets
Investors in interest-rate derivatives raised bets borrowing costs will rise in the next three months. Forward-rate agreements fixing three-month interest costs in one month jumped to 6.50 percent, headed for a two-year high, from 6.44 percent yesterday. The contract traded 37 basis points above the three-month Budapest Interbank Offered Rate, signaling expectations for a rate increase at the next central bank meeting on Nov. 30.
"A quick move higher past 306-310 per euro, or thereabout, would be met by verbal intervention," SocGen's Salomon said. "A move north of 315 per euro, or thereabout, would be met by a forceful response by the central bank, in the shape of an aggressive policy-rate hike."

Diamond League: Andrew Osagie second, Phillips Idowu absent
Great Britain's Andrew Osagie secured his best finish at a Diamond League meeting with second place behind Kenyan David Rudisha over 800m in New York.
The 25-year-old clocked one minute 46.44 seconds but could make no impression on the Olympic champion (1:45.14) at the Icahn Stadium.
Christine Ohuruogu struggled to sixth in the women's 400m, as Botswana's Amantle Montsho eased to victory.
British former world champion Phillips Idowu missed the men's triple jump.
The 34-year-old had been expected to make his first appearance since the London Olympics, but will now compete in Rome on 6 June.
What is the Diamond League?
- A total of 14 meetings around the world, finishing in Brussels on 6 September
- Visits Birmingham on 30 June for the British Grand Prix and London on 26-27 July for the 2012 Anniversary Games
- Each one of the 32 disciplines (sixteen for men and sixteen for women) is staged a total of seven times during the season
- The top three athletes at each meeting are awarded points, and the points are doubled in the final meeting
- The athlete with the highest number of points in each discipline at the end of the season wins their Diamond League event
Wet and windy weather in New York created tough conditions for the athletes in the third of 14 Diamond League meetings over the summer.
Osagie finished eighth of nine at the last event in Doha a fortnight ago, but despite running more than a second slower in America, he was second home.
A strong closing 200m combined with a collision between chasing athletes ended any challenge for his place while Rudisha, 24, eased clear.
It was a different story for Ohuruogu, who failed to find any rhythm and clocked 52.08 seconds, almost two seconds slower than her time in Doha.
With Olympic champion Sanya Richards-Ross failing to make the start line, Ohuruogu was expected to figure prominently, but as she struggled her fellow 29-year-old Montsho dominated to win in 49.91 seconds.
European indoor champion Holly Bleasdale, 21, was sixth in the pole vault - her 4.23m effort well short of American winner Jennifer Suhr (4.63m) - while her fellow Briton Eilish McColgan, 22, finished eighth in the women's 3,000m steeplechase, which was won by Lidya Chepkurui of Kenya.
With August's World Championships in Moscow drawing ever closer, the Diamond League meetings in Birmingham on 30 June and London on 26-27 July are expected to draw a stellar cast of athletes.

Amarone, Valpolicella, Bardolino Wine Tours Around Lake Garda From Verona.
Our wine and food tour around Lake Garda starts at 10 am in Verona to the town on the banks of Lake Garda Bardolino. We will be visiting one of the most renowned Amarone producers in the area. Here the tour will include a detailed visit to the family wine museum, visits to the wine making facility and to the cellars where the barriques are stored. Our guests will have a food and wine matching experience, with tasting tasting of Bardolino DOC, Amarone Classico, and other local wines. The wines will be matched with Parmesan cheese, Monte Veronese cheese, and local cured meats. Also check this page for more information about where to stay around Lake Garda.
Visiting Verona and What to do Around the City.
If you are interested in visiting this wonderful city in Italy and you want to find more about what to do there, you can visit the section on our section dedicated to what to do in Verona and around.
Verona, Valpolicella and Amarone Wine tasting, food matching experience with lunch.
Our experience will continue with a visit to a wine producing historical villa in the Valpolicella area, here our guests will have a paring experience with lunch. Here you will be tasting the wine produced in the area starting from the simplest wines to the more structured and aged ones. The lunch will be composed of the following: a pasta dish accompanied with Valpolicella DOC, then it will continue with a selection of hams and salamis accompanied with Valpolicella Ripasso DOC. The meal will end with a selection of cheeses and the famous Amarone, and of course the crumble cake will be served with Recioto DOC.
What is Amarone?
Amarone is wine traditionally made from raisins, the name is roughly translates to "the (pleasantly ) bitter wine". The grape clusters are picked and let to sit in straws shelves for 4,5 or 6 months before the wine process starts. When the juices are concentrated enough the raising are squeezed and the wine is made from the juices. The wine obtained has a very complex body, especially if it is also aged in oak casks. The bouquet will remind of red fruits with a prominent aroma of chocolate, with hints of vanilla.
Valpolicella DOC and Ripasso
Moslty made with the corvina grapes, Valpolicella DOC are the signature wines of the area. Less structured than the other wines, it is the perfect accompaniment for every day dishes such as pasta. Its freshness and light body will please many wine drinker for its simplicity and frankness. In the case of Ripasso the fermenting grape must is poured over the skins of the Amarone. This step gives more colour and structure to the wine, and it is a perfect match for meats, aged cheeses and salami.
Recioto is a sweeter wine and it is perfect with desserts and it is obtained from the same process of Amaronek, however the fermentation is stopped to have a lower content of alcohol and therefore more sugars in the wine.

A Community Improvement District (CID) is an association of property owners in a defined area who voluntarily tax themselves in order to fund improvements within the district's boundaries. CIDs seek to improve business development opportunities and enhance property values by developing and promoting coordinated transportation and community character developments to benefit property owners, business owners and residents in their specific district.
Gwinnett County is home to five CIDs: Gwinnett Place CID (Pleasant Hill Road and surrounding areas), Gwinnett Village CID (Jimmy Carter Boulevard), Lilburn CID (Highway 29 corridor), Evermore CID (Highway 78 corridor) and Braselton CID.
The mission of the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District is to enhance the economic vitality of Gwinnett's central business district by strengthening the area's role as the center of commercial activity. Including the most recent plans to begin replacing the Pleasant Hill Road Bridge, the Gwinnett Place CID continues to collect illegal signs, remove trash, maintain area landscaping and plan for long-range traffic upgrades to compliment Metro Atlanta's vibrant community.
A number of key improvement projects already benefit those working and visiting the area:
The mission of the Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District is to increase property values, promote business development and improve the quality of life for all those who live, work, and play in the village. Gwinnett Village CID currently generates about $2.5 million in annual revenue to achieve this mission and their goals of leveraging CID funding, decreasing crime and traffic congestion, encouraging redevelopment, improving curb appeal and developing community pride. By targeting vacant or struggling shopping centers and replacing them with new, more sustainable facilities, Gwinnett Village CID is committed to providing an environment that appeals to businesses and residents. Their efforts have resulted in the recent investment of Wal-Mart in the vacant Greens Corner Shopping Center, an encouragement to more businesses to commit to the Gwinnett Village community.
The Lilburn Community Improvement District serves as the active catalyst to improve all local perceptions of attitude and appearance, as well as business opportunity in the Highway 29 corridor and surrounding areas. The primary goal of the Lilburn CID is to create a Highway 29 Boulevard of Opportunity, a corridor that will extend along the current Highway 29 route from Ronald Reagan to Harmony Grove Road. Lilburn CID also hopes to develop its area by improving inter-parcel access along Highway 29 between Pleasant Hill Road and Jimmy Carter Blvd., building new access roads parallel to Highway 29 to relieve congestion, street-scaping and landscaping throughout the district and adding sidewalks, pedestrian lighting, parks and buried power lines to the streets of Lilburn.
The Evermore Community Improvement District is an association of property owners along U.S. 78 in Gwinnett County who voluntarily tax themselves in order to recreate their community. The Evermore CID seeks to establish a vibrant, upscale destination, improve business development opportunities, and enhance property values by developing and promoting coordinated transportation and community character improvements. In June 2011, Evermore CID celebrated the grand opening of the Yellow River pedestrian bridge, providing walkers and bikers a safer route around U. S. Highway 78 traffic.
Approved by the Town of Braselton in December 2010, the Braselton Community Improvement District is focused on creating a multi-use path system, known as the LifePath, along SR 211, SR 347 and Thompson Mill Road. LifePath will allow safe access from The Village at Deaton Creek and Northeast Georgia Medical Center's River Place to Chateau Elan, Mulberry Walk and the Town of Braselton River Walk. The path will provide linkage between residential, retail and office buildings and safe mobility to pedestrians, cyclists and golf carts. Spanning portions of three counties, Braselton CID was created to encourage sustainable economic growth and development within its community.

Where Can I Catch Snakehead?
I was just wondering where I can catch snakeheads with a nontidal fishing license. It seems like people only catch them in tidal waters.
DNR Response:The occurrences of snakehead in non-tidal ponds have been relatively rare. When they get into ponds, its either because people illegally put them there or because the pond becomes connected to the streams through flooding or super high tides. Luckily, we dont have and dont want snakeheads in non-tidal impoundments like Prettyboy Reservoir (for example). Snakeheads may not cause extinctions of species, but snakeheads definitely alter the flow of energy in an ecosystem, which can lead to some unpredictable consequences. The MD DNR spent a lot of money and time to get rid of them in the ponds in Crofton. Because that level of effort is just not cost effective in a system like the Potomac River, were happy to see anglers fishing and harvesting snakehead. So, thanks for your interest in helping to control the species!
If you wanted to try your hand at fishing for snakehead, Bumpy Oak Pond is a tidally influenced pond that seems to be pretty good for anglers but for better opportunities youll need to get a Tidal Sport Fishing license ($15), there are definitely places to catch snakehead from the shore of the Potomac River. Good luck out there!

Comments on Richard Owen's review of the Origin [in Edinburgh Rev. 111 (1860): 487–532]. Considers Owen unfair to CD and most ungenerous toward Hooker.

Summary Add
Down Bromley Kent
May 8
My dear Henslow
Very many thanks about the Elodea,—which case interests me much. I wrote to
Owen is indeed very spiteful. He misrepresents & alters what I say very unfairly. But I think his conduct towards Hooker most ungenerous, viz to allude to his Essay, & not to notice the magnificent results on geographical distribution.
The Londoners says he is mad with envy because my book has been talked about: what a strange man to be envious of a naturalist like myself, immeasurably his inferior! From one conversation with him I really suspect he goes at the bottom of his hidden soul as far as I do!—
I wonder whether Sedgwick noticed in the Edinburgh Review, about the ``Sacerdotal
revilers''—so the revilers are tearing each other
to pieces.— I suppose Sedgwick will be very fierce against me at
the Phil. Soc.— Judging from his notice in the
Spectator he will misrepresent me, but it will certainly be unintentionally
done.— In a letter to me & in the above
notice he talks much about my departing from the spirit of inductive
philosophy.— I wish, if you ever talk on subject
to him, you would ask him whether it was not allowable (& a great step) to
invent the undulatory theory of Light—ie hypothetical undulations in a
hypothetical substance the ether. And if this be so, why may I not invent hypothesis of
natural selection (which from analogy of domestic productions, & from what we
know of the struggle of existence & of the variability of organic beings, is in
some very slight degree in itself probable) & try whether this hypothesis of
natural selection does not explain (as I think it does) a large number of facts in
geographical distribution—geological
succession—classification—morphology, embryology &c.
&c.— I sh
Pray forgive me & my pen for running away with me & scribbling on at such length.—
My dear old Master | Yours affect
I can perfectly understand Sedgwick or any one saying that nat. selection does not explain large classes of facts; but that is very different from saying that I depart from right principles of scientific investigation.—

But the Lions skipper has warned his players not to expect to pick up where Wednesday night's team left off in their try fest victory over the Golden Lions.
"The win on Wednesday was a very good thing for the tour as a whole. It was a big performance and people will stand up and take a bit of notice of us now," said O'Connell.
"After 30 minutes all the players who weren't on the field wanted to get stuck into the next game. We brought into that game a lot of what we had been doing on the training pitch and the extra four days of training and getting used to the altitude certainly helped.
"But it's important that we don't think it is always going to be like Wednesday night. There are going to be days when we will have to knuckle down and dig deep.
"We played a lot of good rugby against the Golden Lions and there were a lot of good off loads, but we have to play to win first and foremost.
"One of the first things that Shaun Edwards said to us after the game in midweek was that we won't be going out to try to play razzle-dazzle rugby to emulate the Golden Lions victory.
"The best thing for confidence and morale is winning and that's what we need to carry on doing in Bloemfontein this weekend."

Directory of Senior Discounts for Frugal Citizens and Retirees Age 50 or Older
Getting Senior Discounts is one of the best benefits for frugal retired members of society or those age 50 or older.
As a senior citizen, you deserve some extra special deals. This extensive guide is going to help you find all the best retirement discounts and bargains.
But whether listed here or not, my best tip is to make it a habit to ask for a price cut wherever you spend your hard earned money.
Please do let me know if you find a great new deal for retirees which I do not already have listed below. I will then add your discovery so others can save more money too.
Following are some other important tips and points to ponder when trying to cash in on advertised or even unadvertised senior citizens discounts.
Restaurants and Fast Food Places With Possible Senior Citizens Discounts
"What fast food places offer senior discounts?"
This is a common question on many seniors' minds. Luckily some of the most generous seniors discounts are offered at not only fast food joints, but also at fine dining and family restaurants.
Always ask ahead of time and be aware that often restrictions on menu items and locations may apply.
Grocery Stores and Supermarkets With Possible Senior Discounts
"Where to get discounts on groceries for senior citizens?"
That is a very common question especially as food price inflation continues at a record pace. Here is a growing list of grocery stores offering possible senior discounts. As always, ask if the discount is indeed still available and if restrictions may apply to certain locations or menu items.
Retail And Apparel Stores With Possible Senior Citizen Discounts
"Which stores have senior discounts?"
Below are just a few I know of. But there are probably many more local retail stores and outlets that will give you a senior citizens discount if you ask for one.
Know of any not on this list? Please leave a comment about your favorite discount discoveries at the bottom of this page and I will add it to the list.
Travel Discounts for Seniors: Hotels, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
If you are one of the millions of senior citizens who travels at various times throughout the years...on vacation, across the country in an RV, or just to visit the kids and grandchildren...don't pass up the below great travel discounts for seniors.
Cruise Lines With Senior Discounts
"What cruise lines offer senior citizen discounts?"
Check with your favorite cruise line or travel agent to see if senior citizens discounts may be available.
Often group deals can be arranged, especially for groups of seniors. Of course, AARP members are automatically part of a senior group of millions and get many discounts on not just cruises.
Here are just a few Cruise Lines I know of which have been known to offer AARP members discounts on cruises.
Often if AARP members get discounts, other non-member seniors can too. But the AARP is probably the best way to get the most off your cruise vacation if you are 50 or older. Non-AARP seniors often won't qualify until they reach at least age 62.
Activities And Entertainment Senior Discounts
"What discounts can senior people get at movie theaters, gyms, parks, museums, and other activity destinations?"
I am glad you asked because one of the best things about being retired is that hopefully you finally have more time to enjoy health promoting leisurely activities. And you often get a healthy discount on the cost of doing them too.
Staying healthy no matter what age you are means staying fit, trim, active, and ever learning. Enjoying nature in the great outdoors is one of the most affordable ways to maintain or improve your health as you age. Those seniors enjoying the freedom and mobility of the RV lifestyle know well what I mean.
My best advice for rejuvinating your body and your soul is to regularly visit our beautiful national parks with your spouse, friends, children, or grand children. And retired or not, you can often do that at a big discount if you apply for your "Senior Pass" from the U.S. Government when you reach the age of 62.
A Senior Pass, or "Golden Age Pass" as it has been known, will entitle you to some big discounts on many types of ammenity fees at over 2,000 federally managed recreation sites in every state of the U.S.A.
For more details, check my guide on How to get a Senior Pass and find out what benefits come with it. It is one of the best sources of lifetime senior deals you can get!

Search Strategies for Finding Even More Senior Discounts, Programs, and Benefits
There are literally tens of thousands of senior citizens discount programs in every state of the union - from the local store level all the way to the state and federal level.
As you likely already know, one of the best ways to find discounts is by searching for them online. Here are my two favorite search resources for finding who offers senior discounts.
Custom Google Search Engine for Finding Benefits and Deals for Senior Citizens
Below is my custom Google Search Engine which will find you millions of other generous senior citizens discounts.
Just type in a main keyword such as "senior discount coupons" or "discounts for retirees" within quotes and type the word "and" (not in quotes) followed by another more specific word in quotes, for example "Buffalo New York" or "Atlanta Georgia". This will help narrow down the results to best suit you.
You will find secret discounts in your local area that most of your fellow senior citizens or retirees never could have imagined were available.
Example Search: "senior discounts" and "restaurants" and "Tampa"
Search the United States Government's Main Website: USA.Gov
The U.S. Government has a terrific search engine at USA.gov that can help you find specific senior citizens discounts, passes, cards, programs, benefits, coupons, and deals specific to your local counties, cities, parks, travel destinations, and states. Just enter your keyword search into the search box and click the "search" button.
As an example, I tried searching for "senior citizen discount card california" and it returned 366,000 entries. The first page or two will probably have the most relevant results.
You can narrow the search results down by adding more specific words to your search such as senior discounts in your city, county, or state.
USA.gov is also the best way for senior citizens and retirees to search for unclaimed money you might be owed from various sources over the years. And it is also a great way to find cheap deals on anything from computers and vehicles to land and houses sold at a discount in government auctions.
Or search for financial assistance for housing, food, transportation, communications, utilities, loans, grants, or scholarships. You can also find a large number of government jobs you may qualify for and with special deference to senior citizen Americans.
Clicking the following link will open a new browser tab or window to the U.S. government home page with the search box being located at the top of thier website.
So for a gold mine of useful information related to retirement discounts and senior benefits for older American citizens explore USA.gov.

Disclaimer: This information about discounts for senior citizens is only meant as a starting point for you to do your own due diligence to confirm.

That is why I recommend you always call ahead to verify and get the details in writing (or quicker yet, by email), especially if you plan to plunck down a large amount on a vacation or high ticket item.

I Escaped the Rat Race ... Here's How!
I'm frugal as heck and I question EVERYTHING!
That's part of the reason I was able to just quit my much hated and unhealthy wage-slave corporate job at the ripe old age of 38.
Life really doesn't have to be so darned difficult. I'm loving my new-found freedom!
No more suits, no more commutes, no more stress from moronic coworkers & bosses, no more rationing precious little vacation time, and no more waking up at 4 am!
I now work from home full-time and earn a steady income from my websites (this one included).
Besides my own self-reliance & perseverance, I owe a big thank you to the tried and true discovery that is empowering me to live life on MY terms.

I sincerely hope this thrifty website helps you to find your way down that road less traveled toward greater independence.

COPPER MOUNTAIN — Rookies typically shine in the year after the Winter Olympics. Medal-adorned veterans tend to bask in the postshow glow, giving the young up-and-comers in their wake a shot on the big stage.
That slope-worn narrative is dissolving this year as an ambitious crew of young-gun skiers and snowboarders climbs Olympic-qualifying podiums, forcing the veterans to dig deep. Eight of the 32 athletes closest to making the U.S. Olympic men's and women's freeskiing and snowboarding teams for the Sochi Games are rookies.
They are the teenagers being groomed for 2018. They are the next generation. But after two recent Olympic-certifying events, the rookies aren't settling for spectator status.
The early surge of medaling freshmen has been a "huge success" for the red-hot rookies, said U.S. Freeskiing and U.S. Snowboarding coach Mike Jankowski.
"This whole process of the rookies pushing the pros and how the pros respond is going to really build things up to a high level of performance where these athletes are going to be battling it out to make the U.S. team, so when they get to Sochi it's going to be smooth sailing," Jankowski said.
The coach was about to express another thought when 16-year-old snowboarder Ty Walker spun a flawless off-axis 720 off the Breckenridge slopestyle course. The explosive trick has propelled her to the second-highest rider in the battle to make the U.S. women's slopestyle Olympic team after two of five contests.
"Yes! Did you see that? Right on, Ty!" Jankowski said, dashing off to congratulate the ecstatic Vermont teenager.
Taylor Gold, the Steamboat Springs 20-year-old who finds himself a breath away from top qualifier Greg Bretz (an Olympic veteran) in snowboard halfpipe, said his young colleagues spent the summer working hard with an eye on unseating the kings and queens of snow sports. His 18-year-old friend, Ben Ferguson of Oregon, is the country's third-ranked top qualifying snowboard halfpipe snowboarder.
"Everyone worked so hard to learn a bunch of new tricks and practice going big. I think we outworked them this summer and I think that's where our success is coming from," said Gold, after a day of home-hill powder riding during a three-day Christmas break. "We are doing a good job of showing we can hang."
Montana's Maggie Voisin is the top qualified skier after two slopestyle contests, one step ahead of 16-year-old Darian Stevens in a field rich with battle-tested pros. If Voisin, 15, makes the U.S. Olympic team, she would be one of the youngest competitors in Sochi.
"I try to take the pressure off myself. Especially being a younger athlete, I don't think it's on me as much, which is going to help me learn to manage the pressure in the future when I get older," she said. "I have a long career ahead of me."
It's yet another glimpse of wisdom that belies her age. She seems amazed at the disparity between her life — living away from her family, traveling across the continent, winning contests — and her age.
"I'm only in ninth grade. It's crazy. I only see my parents occasionally in the winter. Where I come from, that's rare," she said. "But I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing."
Voisin joins Crested Butte's Aaron Blunck as U.S. Freeskiing's top teens. Blunck is having the season of his life, with a career-apex win at the Copper Grand Prix last month, but said he's not skiing exclusively for Olympic glory.
"A lot of people, the Olympics weigh so heavy on their mind. It's all they think about for every run," Blunck said. "I know there's more to life than the Olympics. I'm trying to look at all of these (Olympic-qualifying) competitions like they are any other competitions."
But don't expect the pros to roll over, said Jankowski, noting that the Olympic-tested Louie Vito will come out big at this week's Breckenridge Grand Prix and the final two events at California's Mammoth Mountain. "Louie will fight like no one you've seen," he said.
And Shaun White, who is splitting his time and training between the halfpipe and slopestyle course, has yet to stick his best run in the pipe.
The rookies know that the heavy hitters will be coming in hot in these final three contests.
"The competition will step up," Gold said. "If Shaun is riding at the level he normally rides, no one can touch that. It's interesting to see him balance slopestyle and halfpipe. He's having a hard time, I think, trying to maintain his skills in the pipe. It seems like the playing field is more level right now."
The fierce competition among Americans is all part of the U.S. coaches' Olympic plan.
"That way has proven successful for us," Jankowski said. "This five-stop qualifier process in December and January right before the Games really brings out the best in these riders, so when they show up for the Olympics, they are really firing on all cylinders."

Aldermen will continue to discuss the possibility of making city employees, excluding the transit system employees, pay more for their insurance premiums in 2014-15.
The matter was referred to the city's Salary and Grievances Committee at Wednesday's Committee of the Whole meeting.
Individual coverage costs $8,844 per year while a family plan costs $20,776.80. Currently, the city pays 88 percent of insurance premiums for its employees who have either an individual or family plan. That means an individual pays $1,061.28 of their yearly plan, while employees enrolled in the family plan ...

Twins avoid arbitration, bring back catcher Drew Butera for $700,000
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The Minnesota Twins announced Thursday they have avoided arbitration with catcher Drew Butera, who will earn $700,000 in 2013.
This offseason marked Butera's first as an arbitration-eligible player. He is eligible for free agency in 2017. MLB's current minimum wage is $480,000.
Butera is regarded as one of the best defensive catchers in baseball, but in 531 career plate appearances he is hitting just .183/.232/.265 with five home runs.
Along with Butera, the Twins also have four other catchers on the 40-man roster -- Joe Mauer, Ryan Doumit, Chris Herrmann and Josmil Pinto.

Repeals certain provisions relating to a temporary state energy and utility service conservation assessment; reduces the total amount that can be charged from one percent to one-third of one percent.
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public service law, in relation to reducing the amount a utility can be assessed and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating to a temporary state energy and utility service conservation assessment
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To repeal subdivision 6 of section 18-A of the Public Service Law which establishes a "utility service conservation assessment" on specified utility entities of 2% of gross intrastate revenues, and a 1% of gross intrastate revenues for Long Island Power Authority.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Repeals subdivision 6 of section 18-A of the Public Service Law
JUSTIFICATION: The Service Conservation Assessment is a fee placed on utility companies including municipally owned utilities of 2 percent. The tax creates a condition requiring utility companies to raise more revenue to cover the assessment fee. Utility company's financial resources are strained and to raise the mandated fee they have placed the surcharge directly on customer's utility bills. The assessment fees are scheduled to be deposited directly into the state's general fund and only a portion will be passed on to the Public Service Commission within each budget season. This legislation would provide a direct savings to utility consumers.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2010 - S.6132/A.9098 -ENERGY/Corporations 2011-2012 - S.4081-B -- ENERGY
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Consumers will save money from this unnecessary tax. A $520 million loss of projected revenue to the State's General Fund over the next 5 years by repealing the utility service conservation assessment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

Subdivision 6 of section 18-a of the public service law is REPEALED. S 2. Paragraph (g) of subdivision 2 of section 18-a of the public service law, as amended by section 2 of part NN of chapter 59 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows: (g) The total amount which may be charged to any public utility compa- ny under authority of this subdivision for any state fiscal year shall not exceed ONE-THIRD OF one per centum of such public utility company's gross operating revenues derived from intrastate utility operations in the last preceding calendar year, or other twelve month period as deter- mined by the chairman; provided, however, that no corporation or person that is subject to the jurisdiction of the commission only with respect to safety, or the power authority of the state of New York, shall be subject to the general assessment provided for under this subdivision. S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD00165-02-3

Now that my ratings are up and my legs are losing their shape, I feel I can talk about journalism.
I am a Journalist, not a "reporter." "Reporting" requires one to stand up and walk about. To be a Journalist, you need to remain seated, preferably behind a desk. The desk is optional, but the chair is mandatory.
CBS pays me too much money to get out of my chair. If they paid me less money, I'd be free to do "reporter" things, like investigate or provide context. As a Journalist, it is very important for me to remain seated at all times so that the "reporters" can do their jobs, which is to "report" back to me so I don't have to get up.
There are occasions when it is necessary for me to stand, of course. Recently, I got out of my chair to do a "walk and talk" with Sarah Palin. For those of you not in Journalism, a "walk and talk" is where a non-reporter type like myself decides to interview a famous person while walking around a scenic landscape. In the case of Sarah Palin, I decided it'd be cool to walk around in front of the UN Building.
You may ask, "But Katie, if you're paid so much to sit, why would you want to get up and walk around as you conduct an interview?"
The answer is simple. Doing a "walk and talk" gives the impression of direction. We walk forward as we talk, therefore we both appear to have implied direction. In my "sit and speak" interviews with Palin, there was no implied direction at all--the interview went all over the place. One minute, we were in Russia, one minute we were in her daughter's womb.... But, during the "walk and talk," our walking gave the impression of linear progression, even though it was just as pointless as our "sit and speak". Plus it provided "viewers" a chance to oogle our gams.

The Racial Politics of The Blind Side
I've been vaguely aware of both the plot of The Blind Side (homeless black teenager from broken family is adopted by wealthy white family and goes on to play pro football) and the critiques of its racial politics for some time, and despite its unexpected box office success, I've had little desire to see it. I'm currently in Florida visiting my grandmother, though, and she wanted to see The Blind Side, so see The Blind Side we did.
I don't much care for Sandra Bullock, but she's exactly as good as everyone says she is as the loving, no-nonsense matriarch of a wealthy Southern family. And the movie in general is pretty much what you'd expect: cutesy, saccharine, uplifting, and formulaic. It's good for what it is though, with a remarkable story, quick pace, witty dialogue, and genuinely likable characters.
As for the film's racial politics, I can't say that I entirely agree with most of the critiques I've seen, though I do have a few of my own. A. O. Scott's review for the New York Times encapsulates the most common criticism of Blind Side:
To the extent that Michael represents a social problem (or maybe a whole bunch of them, including poverty, drug addiction and family dysfunction), the solution depicted is individual, charitable and, at least implicitly, faith based.
The fundamental problem with this critiques is that it expects entirely too much from a movie and from an individual. Granted there is a temptation to read more into it, but The Blind Side is a small movie about one person and one family. It is not a polemic, and it is not an overtly political documentary. It does not explicitly advocate anything. It simply tells the story of one extraordinary woman who welcomed a complete stranger into her home and loved and cared him as her own son.
I don't think the film has to be interpreted as a statement about either the causes or or the solutions to social problems like poverty and drug-addiction, though I would certainly disagree with anyone who maintains that private charity is a sufficient solution. Granted, The Blind Side is all but silent regarding the circumstances of Michael's youth and the complex web of forces, both social and individual, that dooms so many young men to the violent death that Bullock's character, Leigh Anne Tuohy, realizes, via internal monologue voiceover, could easily have been the fate of her adopted son. But I don't think that every artist who touches on a theme like poverty is obligated to explore every facet of the problem and offer a solution, and in fact I think all but the best art does well to steer clear of such overt politicism.
I also don't think that Tuohy's behavior is charity, precisely. Charity is fundamentally an economic relationship, not an emotional one. The vast majority of charitable dollars given in the US are donated in a disconnected way. People give money either directly to a panhandler they barely know and will probably never see again, or indirectly through a large organization that pools and distributes their money, again almost always to people they do not know and will never meet. Motivations for charity are varied and complex. They usually include good will, but they rarely include love, at least not the kind of emotional, interpersonal love that a mother has for a son.
This is the real limitation of charity, the reason why the critics rightfully consider it an insufficient solution. People will give enough to alleviate immediate suffering, but rarely enough to prevent future suffering or change underlying conditions. It is all well and good for the relatively wealthy to give their excess, to give what they have above and beyond what they feel they need, but few are willing to sacrifice for strangers in the ways that they would for their own children.
This is the remarkable thing that Leigh Anne Tuohy did, and while it is not a large-scale solution, it is as much as many individuals can accomplish and more than most, critics of The Blind Side included, will ever do. Private action is absolutely not a substitute for government action and institutional change, but too many people use their inability to accomplish the latter as an excuse not to attempt the former.
My own problem with the Blind Side is that it makes everything look so easy. This is both an artistic problem and a political one. As a film, Blind Side lacked conflict. I'm struggling to remember a single problem that occurred that wasn't resolved within minutes of its introduction, and I couldn't tell you what the central conflict of the film was supposed to be.
This is a political problem because Michael is too easy. He is a perfect son, easy to get along with and unfailingly polite and lovable from the moment the Tuohy's take him in. Michael is easy to love, and this is what makes The Blind Side's message about the power of love so fundamentally weak. There are plenty of endangered children who have as much potential as Michael, who are as deserving of love and opportunity as Michael, but who are not such easy children. They fight, they steal, they use drugs, they join gangs. They need loving, caring adults in their lives at least as much as a "gentle giant" like Michael does, but they have far more trouble finding the support that they need.
It's certainly unfair to compare a mainstream Hollywood production to a great American novel, but I'm reminded of Richard Wright's introduction to his novel Native Son. Wright, who had previously written Black Boy, an autobiography about his own childhood experiences with poverty, racism, and hunger, chose a far more controversial protagonist for Native Son. The fictional Bigger Thomas is a thug, a thief, a murderer, and a rapist. Wright does not ask us to love him, but he does ask us to understand him and to see him as both a villain and a victim.
Wright realized, after Black Boy, that he needed to give his audience a challenge. Wright himself was too easy a young man to sympathize with. Bigger Thomas forces us to sympathize with a far less sympathetic character, and in so doing, makes a far stronger statement about the effects of racism and poverty.
The best indication that The Blind Side doesn't advocate private charity as the be-all and end-call to social problems is that this solution is most explicitly proposed by Leigh Anne's predictably patronizing and snobby country club friends, who seem willing enough to donate and host fundraisers if Leigh Anne is organizing a "Project for the Projects." What these ladies lack is genuine concern of the sort that would compel them to pursue meaningful change or follow through on such an initiative. While it would have been nice to see Leigh Anne radicalized by her relationship with Michael, ready to invest her considerable resources in a larger-scale solution, her life and story are still an inspiring example of the love that is necessary to accomplish real social change.
What Leigh Anne will not accept for Michael, no parent, white or black, should accept for any child, white or black: no roof over his head, deteriorating clothes, ignorant teachers, and threats from drug dealers. Yet these are exactly the outcomes that millions of American parents, white and black, would never tolerate for their own children but are willing enough to accept for other people's children. Real improvements for children with troubled lives is going to require the relatively privileged to extend their circle of moral concern to include more than their immediate families, to care enough about all children, even and especially the most difficult cases, to protect and fight for them the way Leigh Anne does for Michael.
3 Responses to "The Racial Politics of The Blind Side"
Excellent write-up! I have not seen the movie yet, and after reading a couple early reviews, I had bought into the criticisms of it as racially offensive. Then a few of my friends saw and reported on it and dismissed those criticisms. As you indicated, it also considerably outperformed expectations at the box office. I want to see it, too.
Interesting re: the distinction between charity and love is that the word "charity" originally was used to refer to the highest possible form of love rather than an act of caring devoid of real emotional attachment. The OED is not freely accessible online, but here is the wikipedia entry for charity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charity_(virtue)
Nice catch, Calmer…in relation to: "Charity is fundamentally an economic relationship, not an emotional one"…I was just about to say you'd wanna check with Aquinas on that one.
Saw the film. My soul shrinks by 1% ever time I see a Sandra Bullock film.

Teenager Ashleigh Barty's Fed Cup debut didn't add any points to the scoreboard against reigning champions the Czech Republic, but she earned sincere praise from team captain Alicia Molik.
The 16-year-old on Sunday partnered Casey Dellacqua to be beaten 6-0 7-6 (7-1) by the Czech world No.3 doubles combination of Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka.
The champions had already stretched to an unassailable 3-0 lead in the best-of-five matches tie at the eastern Czech city of Ostrava and the dead-rubber doubles was a final chance for Australia notch a victory.
But it wasn't to be.
The home side raced to quick first-set win.
After re-grouping the Australians came back with an early break in the second set and stretched to a 3-1 lead.
The score levelled and was soon game-for-game until Hlavackova and Hradecka closed the tie break.
"I think at times today the Czech team was left wondering what she was going to do because she can hit with spin and she can hit with a lot of power as well," Molik said of the team newbie, who is the youngest player to represent Australia in Fed Cup since Jelena Dokic in 1998.
Barty and Dellacqua, who turns 28 on Monday, reached the doubles final of the Australian Open in January and while the latter has featured in Fed Cup since 2006, Molik said Barty is an emerging talent.
"I think what helps Ash with her tennis is that she's incredibly mentally mature," Molik said.
"She plays tennis far beyond her years and she plays doubles like she's been playing for the last 15 years.
"She has great instinct on the court, which you can only teach to a certain point. A lot players even in the top-20 ranks in doubles don't have great doubles instincts and she does already."

Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari gives instructions to his team during the Kentucky Blue-White Scrimmage at Rupp Arena. / Mark Zerof, USA TODAY Sports
The expectations continue to pile up for John Calipari's young roster of heavily-hyped freshmen, as Kentucky was voted No. 1 in both the major preseason top 25 polls.
Two weeks after being voted as the top team in the country in the USA TODAY Sports' Coaches Poll - earning 16 first-place votes in the 32-coach panel, the Wildcats were again picked as the favorite in The Associated Press top 25 poll, but by a much smaller margin over No. 2 Michigan State. Kentucky (27 first-place votes) edged the Spartans (22 first-place votes) on the 65-member national media panel.
After earning a preseason No. 3 selection, the Wildcats finished last season unranked in both polls following an NCAA tournament-less postseason and an early NIT exit.
All but one of the top 25 teams made both polls, with Indiana (No. 24 Coaches Poll) and Baylor (No. 25 AP Poll) voted in the top 25 in different polls.
Oklahoma State (12th in the Coaches Poll, 8th in the AP) had the greatest disparity in its ranking, with New Mexico (No. 20 in Coaches Poll) differing by three votes by coming in at No. 23 in the AP poll.
Among other significant differences, Kansas (No. 6 in Coaches Poll) cracked the AP's top 25, while Michigan (No. 9 in Coaches Poll) earned more respect from sports writers at No. 7 and a Florida (No. 8 in Coaches Poll) roster plagued by early-season question marks dipped to No. 10 in the AP top 25.

Eddiva hyped up for second UFC fight-A A +A
Friday, May 30, 2014
IGOROT mix martial arts fighter Mark Eddiva is hoping the long flight to Brazil won't affect his training as he enters the UFC cage for the second time around.
The second pure bred Filipino to fight inside the octagon, Eddiva remains optimistic of his May 31 fight, set in Sao Paulo facing hometown hero Kevin Souza in UFC Fight Night after his shocking win over heavy favorite Jumabieke Tuerxun of China in The Ultimate Fighter China finale in Macau last March 1.
"I hope all the hard work we had during our training pays off. This will be a tough fight for me but I'll promise to give my best," said the undefeated fighter with a clean 6-0 record during a send off party and fund raiser event.
The many time Southeast Asian Games gold medalist was the receipient of an earlier fund raising worth P10,000 from the Apaches while the JayCees Senate added P5,000 even as more than P5,000 was raised during Thursday's fund raiser organized by Edezza Torres.
Souza has an impressive record of 14-3 slate, including a split decision win over Felipe Arantes in September last year.
"Souza is a good stand-up fighter and he should not be taken for granted. That is why we have prepared Eddiva well," added coach Mark Sangiao who left for Brazil May 27 together with Eddiva and Iranian wrestling coach Ali Heydarabadi.
The Sadanga, Mt. Province native is considered an underdog going into the fight but Eddiva's improvement of his ground game with the aid of coach Heydarabadi will be a big help to the Team Lakay fighter's graound and pound game.
Souza's three losses came via submissions through rear naked chokes and this might be the chance for Eddiva to concentrate and exert his chances against the Brazilian.

The Need to Be Nice Nightmare
Last night I had the worst nightmare of my life. It started off with my friend K having a party. Her mom was running it except she didn't look like her mom. In real life that is not what her mom looks like and I've only met her once. K's party was going to be a devil-worshiping cult party. (I have been reading paranormal activity books involving that stuff lately.) So, of course, I did not want to go, so I didn't. Then, her mom was asking my parents why I didn't go. Next, I found myself at the party kneeling on kneelers in front of a small crucifix on the wall saying "The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want" over and over. (I sometimes say that prayer a lot.) So, later, she punished me for not going to the party. Then, I found myself with my sister and my dad in a garden with a big hill. It was also a very cloudy day. I went to this one section of flowers on the hill and a bunch of flies started chasing me around. My sister told me that they were undead flies. I looked at them closer and saw that they were wrinkly with big eyes. My sister told me that I need to apologize to K's mom in order for the flies to stop chasing me, otherwise undead snakes and spiders will start flying around and chasing me. Then, I apologized to K's mom (not meaning the apology genuinely) and she forgave me. Next, I was nice to some old lady inside a library inside a big house. She was my grandmother in the dream even though I wouldn't know who the heck she was in real life. Then, I realized that I had to be nice to my grandma in order for the flies to go away. Then, I had a dream within a dream. I had a cousin in my house. Again, I wouldn't know who the heck she was in real life. My mind made her up in the dream. Also, the house was made up by my imagination and it was the same house and library as with the grandmother. The cousin and I apparently didn't like each other. We would be chasing after each other in the library carrying small tables upside down, as if we were going to hit each other. The tables had a smooth glass bottom surface like the top, except it had golf balls stuck to the bottom in neat little rows. Also, the library was neat with a few old-fashioned desks, tall shelves containing thick books, and a dark blue carpet decorated with gold stars. Then, I realized that my quest for being nice wasn't finished. I couldn't just be nice to Grandma, I had to be nice with everyone else too. I then found myself inside a gym. I think it was the one in the school where my mom works. I was wearing the goggles I use in chemistry class. The cousin was a sniper inside the gym, trying to shoot me. I opened the door to run outside, and there were teeny tiny minuscule guns attached to the door handle that shot my face every time I tried to open the door. It didn't hurt because I was wearing the goggles. Also, it was scary outside because dozens of kids my age and my sister's age were holding guns aimed towards me. I remember them all wearing a yellow article of clothing. Behind them was the backyard of my old house; a field, then forest. So, basically, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Everyone was against me. After a few tries, a managed to get outside, past the other shooters and into a girl's bathroom. There were a bunch of girls in there getting ready for some sort of show. They had on costumes with sequins and feathers. I ran to the back, with had a few bunk beds. There were may people in there, too. I remember standing in front of a portion of wallpaper on the frame of one of the bunk beds. The wallpaper looked like wrapping paper and was decorated with differed floral designs. Then, M, a senior from my mock trial team, stomped into the room, angry. I tried to stay silent in case she took me back to my cousin, which is unusual because she is very nice to me in real life. She was frustrated with the wallpaper. She and I began to peel layers. Each layer had a different floral design. When we got to the last layer, it was all the designs together in various sections of the paper. Then, she aggressively ushered everyone else out of the room, and then turned to me. She was angry. I was sitting at the top of the bunk bed, terrified. She went up to me, grabbed my ear, and dragged me to my cousin. That is when I woke up. The point of the dream was that everyone was against me and I had no ally. Also, Professor, I am very nice in real life, so I don't know why I had these terrible quests to be nice. However, there was a time in middle school where I wasn't nice because I was angry with everyone and still hold a bit of anger, if that bit helps.
Can you help me understand this dream?
Thank you Professor,
My Dear Girly-Girl,
There are two basic types of nightmares; those that are the product of what we might call "an overactive imagination" and those that carry a deeper message, often indicating that we are supressing something emotionally or psychologically difficult. Your nightmare, which is incredibly complex and very rich in detail, seems to be a bit of both. First, let's touch on the presence of the occult in your dream. The Devil (and his human worshippers) represent guilt, curiousity and temptation. The Lord's Prayer, which you invoke so powerfully, represents a call for salvation. To juxtapose the two in the context of a social situation (such as a party) may indicate that you are feeling a great deal of anxiety, conflict or guilt about something that is happening in your social circle. This possibility is reinforced by the presence of the undead, whose appearance in dreams often symbolizes a sense of "unfinished business." Now, let us examine your dream-within-a-dream, wherein you find yourself in a library with your grandmother, who you have not been nice to, and where you are subsequently chased by your "cousin," who means you harm. Grandparents symbolize wisdom and truth, and the appearance of a grandparent in a dream is an indication that you need to be absolutely honest- with others and with yourself. Libraries in dreams symbolize a quest for knowledge. To dream that you are being chased in a library by an archetype who is (and is not) a member of your own family means that you feel you are in a situation you cannot escape but are actively seeking the answer that will allow you to escape it. This is very likely your mind's way of demanding that you face something difficult in your waking life. The fact that your dream-setting morphed from library to school gymnasium reinforces this; a school gym is the most anxiety-provoking of settings, and a dream that takes place in a school is often an indication that you are struggling with a sense of your own inadequacy. This is reinforced by the fact that you are hunted by various types of gun-wielding monsters (the cousin-sniper, the mini-gun doorknobs, and the kids wearing yellow, a color which in a negative context like a nightmare symbolizes cowardice or deceit). The layered wallpaper may be the most interesting symbol of all, indicating that your subconscious mind is working very, very hard to find the truth hidden beneath so many layers of subterfuge. So, what does it all mean, this terrible quest to be nice? You yourself have pinopinted a possible source for your anxiety; you feel that everyone is against you and you have no ally. Possibly first admonishment we hear as children is "be nice"- the Professor's best guess is that you are experiencing an anxiety that is deeply rooted in a close friendship, that you are feeling inadequate about your ability to deal with the source of this anxiety, and that your brain is strongly and actively seeking a resolution to that difficulty. Contemplating the possible source of this anxiety is the key understanding the deeper meaning of your dream. The Professor can tell you about meanings, but only you, the dreamer, can truly know what your dream is about. Actively contemplate your social ciricle and your friendships, and the Professor believes that there you will find the solution your restless mind so actively seeks.
I remain your faithful servant and dream interpreter extraordinaire,

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
DULUTH -- The Gwinnett Gladiators added to their roster with the re-signing of forward Chris Clackson and defenseman Sean Duddy on Tuesday.
Clackson spent half of last year in the AHL with Houston, including the last three months of the season, after starting with Gwinnett.
Duddy was brought in during the final weeks of the 2011-12 season after he finished his senior season at Ohio State University.
That brings the Gladiators' roster to five officially signed players with training camp about a month away and the threat of another NHL lockout looming.
"I took most of the summer and weighed my options," Clackson said. "With the NHL lockout, it's a confusing summer -- for a lot of guys. It's the NHL, but it affects everybody.
"I talked to a few (AHL) teams about camps, but for the time being, everything is up in the air. Not a lot of teams are doing a whole lot right now."
The Pittsburgh native had 23 points in 31 games with Gwinnett last season, just his second year in the pro ranks. Clackson was signed by the Gladiators and began the year here, but was called up to Houston for a second time on Feb. 1 and stayed with the Aeros through their first-round playoff loss to Oklahoma City. The 25-year-old had a goal, an assist and 34 penalty minutes in 28 games with Houston.
"When I first left for Houston, they told me to pack a bag for the weekend," Clackson said. "So I had clothes for three or four days. At first I was up for two weeks, so I made a couple trips to the laundromat."
He came back to Gwinnett during the AHL all-star break and played one game for the Gladiators before getting called back to Houston.
"They told me it would be more permanent," Clackson said. "I was living in a hotel for quite a while, but it was good. Just like in Gwinnett, the people in Houston treated me well and I had a good rapport with the coaching staff. I got to play enough to show what I could do."
He got a regular shift, switching between the third and fourth lines for the Aeros. The team's system stressed aggressive play, which suits Clackson.
"In Gwinnett, I was able to be a little more offensive, to score more goals and have more freedom," he said. "Up at the next level, they needed me to play a more physical game and be defensively responsible."
Clackson also split time between the AHL and ECHL as a rookie in 2010-11. He had 24 points in 46 ECHL games (Cincinnati and Greenville), while also playing in 17 games with the Rochester Americans.
The 6-foot, 205-pound forward made his pro debut with AHL Adirondack in the spring of 2010 after completing his college career at Western Michigan. Clackson put up 36 points in 129 collegiate games with the Broncos.
Clackson has been training in Chicago this summer with his brother, Matt, who played for the AHL Wolves last season and just signed with the Washington Capitals. Clackson is planning to stay in Chicago until closer to when camps begin -- be that AHL or ECHL.
"A lot of things are still up in the air," he said. "The only thing that's for sure is if the AHL doesn't work out, I'll be in Gwinnett for the first day of camp in October. Obviously I want to play at the highest level possible. If that's Gwinnett to start the season, I'm good with that. I had a really good time in there last season."
Duddy returns to the Gladiators for his first full professional season. He earned four points (one goal, three assists) in seven games following his final season at OSU. He also skated in all four Kelly Cup playoff games with Gwinnett last year and picked up one assist.
Last year as a Buckeye, Duddy had 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 35 games. The 23-year-old blueliner finished with 24 points (two goals, 22 assists) in 124 career games.
A native of Ann Arbor, Mich., Duddy was a two-time team captain at Ohio State. He was the 2009 Coaches Award winner, a three-time Ohio State scholar-athlete and two-time academic All-Big Ten selection and Big Ten distinguished scholar.
Prior to attending Ohio State, Duddy skated one season with Wichita Falls Wildcats of the North American Hockey League in 2007-08 and was named the Wildcats' defensive player of the year.
