RSS Feed as post
I'm not sure if there is a plugin for this or not, I've tried searching but I'm not sure how to word it.
I'm looking for a plugin that will allow me to add RSS feeds. Then it post the feeds as a normal post with Title as the post title, Description as the post content and for Author it puts in the RSS feed name that I've given it and links to the link field in the rss. (Example of the sorting at end of this)
So is there anything out there that does this or am I going to have to try and write a plugin myself? And if I have to write one anyone have any good links/articles that tell how to design a plugin? I know PHP aight just not sure how to make a plugin.
So say I have 3 RSS feeds from news sources

Making It
What will you be doing in 10 years?
That was the question Toni Florence started wondering a couple of years ago as she reached her late 40s. A lawyer in the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia, she just couldn't stop thinking about doing something else someday.
"What I do now is so serious," she says. "I just really wanted to do something fun in this second stage of my life."
So these days, for fun, Toni runs a mobile grooming salon for the pet set. Just a year ago, she got her first customized van, a $70,000 splurge emblazoned with Smoochespooches.com -- a name she brainstormed, and settled on because many friends told her they liked the ring of it. Already her groomer is working seven days a week, and Toni is planning for another van. She's hired an office manager and has a second groomer in training.
"The business is paying for itself," Toni says. "The only one who's not getting paid is me. But, with the second van, that will happen."
It's all been relatively easy, she says. Not that Toni hasn't put in a lot of hours, especially before she hired the office manager -- her niece. She was returning phone calls and scheduling pets before going to work, on her lunch hour and late at night.
Toni had planned to buy a franchise of some kind because she had no idea how to start a company. The adoring owner of two mixed breeds -- both adopted, one as a stray, the other from a shelter -- she was really attracted to the notion of a mobile pet-grooming business. But the franchise her research turned up wasn't well known and would have imposed too many restrictions. "I just said, I can do this myself," she recalls.
Surfing for help online, Toni found an Indiana company that would finance a van and customize it for her. Then she started scouting for a groomer at local Petco stores, and she found Joel Rambo, an experienced groomer willing to work for her part time (initially). She took out a $30,000 small business loan, but hasn't used much of it yet.
Then, last year, on September 22, she and Joel drove the brand-new van back from Indiana -- outfitted with a full-size tub with hot and cold running water and a grooming table.
"We wanted to be up and running October 1," Toni recalls. "The phone started ringing September 23."
From day one, the majority of Toni's clients -- well, their owners -- have found Smooches & Pooches by seeing the van and going to the Web site. She's booking four dogs a day on average, but on occasion scheduling as many as eight, with the price typically varying from $60 to $140 for a bath, trim and grooming, depending on the breed. She's bringing in more than $500 a day in revenue, she says.
Toni still works for the U.S. attorney's office (she obtained permission to start the business) and spends about three hours on Smooches work every night in her Northwest Washington home. She'll keep doing both, she says, until the grooming business gets so big it affects her legal work.
"It's amazing to me that I just started this thing from the beginning," she says. "I always looked at entrepreneurs with awe, but I never thought I could be one."

I am a man transformed by the glory of GOD. I am not perfect by no means but, I am changing everyday.(out with the old, in with the new). I love my life and I love my best friend Tamara, which I just married may 16th. I travel all over because I work construction, so I plan on spreading GODS' good news to all that will listen. I used to find it difficult to talk about Jesus at work,but GOD is giving me the strength to be bold and to open my heart to all those who need to hear his message.

The reception for LeBron's return to Cleveland tomorrow night is probably going to be hostile. Hell, it could be violent. So maybe LeBron should go to Akron before and after the game – since they still love him there.
Bill Reiter is on the LeBron beat for Fox Sports, and writes today about how Akron still loves LeBron. Reiter even got Maverick Carter – Puffy to LeBron's Biggie – to talk about it.
Even Maverick Carter, as far on the other side of this as a person can be, will say LeBron is an Akron guy. He'll say it gently. He'll say Cleveland is a great place — "like an older brother to Akron" — but he'll say it nonetheless. Because LeBron is an Akron man. And the border matters.
"Being from Akron is always a part of him, and he'll always have that in him, just like me," Carter says, emphasizing the difference between the two cities. "It's hard for people to understand it. There's a difference between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Brooklyn and Queens. There's a difference."
This partially explains why LeBron would leave his girlfriend and two kids behind in Akron as he bolted for South Beach. So what if they hate him in Cleveland? He's an Akron guy anyway, and nobody's going to mess with his family.

'Pizza & Politics' program lets students make tough budget decisions with Concord Coalition exercise
Students will have a unique opportunity to think like a congressman and make tough budget decisions at a special edition of Lipscomb University's Pizza & Politics Series Wednesday, March 13. Lipscomb University's Nelson and Sue Andrews Institute for Civic Leadership and College of Business are partnering with the Concord Coalition and the Campaign to Fix the Debt to offer this unique look at the tough issues surrounding government spending and the growing federal debt.
Students and interested community members will get the chance to have their opinions and voices heard during the "Principles and Priorities" federal budgeting session, which is being presented by the Concord Coalition at colleges across the country.
The event begins at 6:30 p.m. in Lipscomb's Shamblin Theatre, located in the Bennett Campus Center. The eventis free and open to the public. Pizza will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
During the event, participants will consider current federal spending priorities, entitlement programs, tax policy, and a host of other budget decisions to come up with their preferred combination of spending and tax policies -- and the priorities they believe should be at the forefront of the nation's fiscal agenda.
"Principles and Priorities" offers a very timely and informative exercise especially in light of the Federal Sequester and need for the White House and the Congress to enact a common-sense and comprehensive plan to fix the debt.
The Concord Coalition is a non-partisan organization that aims to educate the public about the causes and consequences of government budget deficits as well as potential solutions to the country's economic problems.
The Campaign to Fix the Debt is a non-partisan movement to put America on a better fiscal and economic path by mobilizing people all across America who want to see elected officials step up to solve our nation's fiscal challenges.

Jeffrey Hall from Louisville, Kentuckyposted over 4 years ago
So with the new year n all I've decided to really bite the bullet and take control over my personal finances. I'm 23 and with a new baby on the way, and also a new job, I think now is a great time to really buckle down and get serious about my financial future.
I'm also planning to dedicate a large chunk if not all of 2013 to learning the basics of Real Estate and Real Estate Investing. I've always been interested in RE, just never really took the time to learn.
Usually I'm a "ready,fire,AIM" kinda guy but I've decided to switch it up and take my time to accumulate some real knowledge on this stuff.
With that being said, are there any good "non guru" (no upsells) type books I should dig into that cover the basics of real estate, REI, or even investing in general?
Thanks in Advance!

Is North Korea Really Out of Reach?
For too long the North Korean people have suffered terribly. There are no easy answers, but we are determined that we should not simply see this as "too difficult" and put it to the bottom of what is a very busy foreign affairs in-tray. We must remain resolute in tackling the DPRK's efforts at nuclear development.

Houston's Top 5 Lounges
5. WITCHCRAFT TAVERN Formerly Dragon Bowl (and still under the same management), the brand-new Witchcraft Tavern has quite the selection of beer, and if you're feeling adventurous, try the Devil's Backbone. You might want to give your keys to a friend first.
To be completely honest, we do miss the Chinese food, but having another quaint, unassuming dive with great beer selection in the Heights seems like a fair trade. The new menu has a few bites, sandwiches and burgers for patrons to nibble on, and more food items are being added. In the meantime, try the flatbread. See Eating Our Words' recent look at Witchcraft as well.

4. BIG STAR BAR As you walk into Big Star for the first time, passing the regulars' motorcycles and classic cars parked just outside the door, you'll likely be a bit overwhelmed. To your right, a bustling bar with only one or two people tending to it; to your left, a television set and, occasionally, an animal or two accompanying its owner; and straight ahead, just before the vending machine, a couch and karaoke machine where pride is tossed aside in favor of fun.

3. ROSE GARDEN Everyone knows everyone else at the Rose Garden, but fear not. If you're new in town, to the neighborhood or are just looking for a new place to have a drink with a friend, the regulars here are both welcoming and engaging. Most of them have pretty interesting stories, too.
A big ol' pool table and a vintage juke box are the only amenities you'll find inside this Polish bar, but you still might have a little trouble getting around inside since it doesn't take much to pack this Heights-based, cash-only beer and wine dive. No worries, though; if you accidently bump shoulders with someone, chances are they'll turn around and introduce themselves. Get yourself (and your new friend) a cheap cold one and a hot dog.

2. LEON'S LOUNGE Two or three years ago, Leon's became one of my favorite spots in downtown. Whether you're looking to chat with a small but lively crowd or take a load off after a show around the corner at Warehouse Live or House of Blues, Leon's is always a good call. A number of local DJs, including some of the Press' own staff, is oft known to spin some vinyl throughout the week, so stop in, try a new cocktail or beer and listen to some good tunes.
1006 McGowen, 713-659-5366, www.leonslounge.net
1. BIG TOP LOUNGE Best of Houston winner, 2012 The Big Top's circus-themed decor always makes it seem a little like a Fellini movie. First of all, it's dark enough that you almost need to strike a match to see your drink, like every great lounge should be. There's also something a little surreal about nursing a cold one or cocktail surrounded by multiple Elvis portraits, Christmas lights, tabletop video games, an ancient beer-can collection, an old shoeshine stand (once used by the late Shoeshine Charley himself) and all kinds of other kitschy memorabilia.
But besides the decor -- yes, and the drinks -- the Big Top is also home to some of the coolest recurring musical events in town, from the Reverberation and Fistful of Soul DJ nights to Gulf Coast soul quartet Umbrella Man's Thursday-night residency.

Hillsborough judge gave up gavel, found love
Remember when Monica Sierra resigned her Hillsborough circuit court judgeship and moved to the Middle East to help Palestinian refugees? Sierra left after Christmas 2007, shocking colleagues, voters and family who had raised $100,000 for her campaign.
"It was a tremendous sacrifice … my future as a judge. My parents were so hurt they didn't speak to me,'' Sierra said.
Now, St. Petersburg Times writer Amy Scherzer updates us on Sierra's recent marriage to a Connecticut banker she met in Jerusalem.
Doug Schaefer had been sent to Israel by his church to check out Sierra's organization, Living Bread International Church. On a walk with Sierra, Schaefer told her: "The Lord sent me to be your husband."
Read more about their courtship and wedding at the Vinoy Renaissance Resort in St. Petersburg, and share your comments.
We'd like to know about your courtship stories and see your photos: Share your tales with Scherzer. E-mail your pictures to email@example.com with your name and photo details in the body of the message, then view your photos in tampabay.com's Wedding Photos gallery.
You also can place your wedding or engagement announcement in tampabay.com's Bliss section for free.

I had upper jaw surgery, where my upper jaw was moved forwards about 6mm. It has completely changed my face. Especially my nose. I did this surgery to correct a slight under bite.
Pro - no more underbite
Con - I am now self conscious about the way I look and fear going out in public.
Updated October 17, 2009
5 weeks ago I had upper jaw surgery to fix an underbite. The surgeon decided to move the upper jaw because he said I had flat cheeks, an under developed upper jaw.
He also said my nose would not change much. Well it did!!!
Now, I desperately want to fix it.
Should I have my upper jaw moved back to its original position and move the lower jaw back instead (a major surgery)?
Or should I have a nose job fix my upturned and flattened nose?
Can anyone tell me exactly what happened to my nose?

James Whitaker, the Test selector, was here on Wednesday, peering over his glasses like a schoolmaster whose attention has been caught by something slightly unruly going on in the back row.
He saw two old England southpaws, Marcus Trescothick and Monty Panesar, seize the day. He could only look wistful as Trescothick scored the 50th first-class century of his career, because this marvellous player's self-exile means he will never play for England again. Panesar, though, probably will, and a career-best return of seven for 60, even on a precocious turner such as this, must help.
He has made small changes to his action lately. "I am trying to get more body into it, and get more revs on the ball," he said. To be fair, Panesar already had more revs than a roaring Ferrari. Spinning the ball has never been a problem for him.
There should be a result here and Somerset, with three of the last four matches at home – the last against a doomed looking Worcestershire – are wondering again, if they dare, that this could be the year of their first Championship.
Trescothick's century was always a resounding innings, and it grew in stature as the day advanced and revealed insoluble difficulties for all other batsmen.
He was 11 runs short when play resumed and he went on to 123 before he was caught behind, attempting to remove his bat from Chris Nash's off-spinner.
Somerset should have made 300 but from 199 for three they lost their last seven wickets for 48 runs. After lunch, they lost their last two without addition and appeared to be on the back foot as Sussex made a sprightly response.
But then Nash was caught at short midwicket, and Ed Joyce was caught behind off Peter Trego, who bowled a 19-over spell.
How Sussex longed for even a cameo from their old champion, Murray Goodwin, who scored an unbeaten 344 here three years ago and was – after Mushtaq Ahmed – their most important player when they won three Championships in five summers.
Then, there was no player you would rather have in your county batting line-up, unless it was Mark Ramprakash.
Those days, sadly, appear to have gone as he prepares for his 40th birthday later this year. His 20 Championship innings have brought him just 267 runs at 14.05 and he has passed 20 three times, with one fifty.
He had made just 17 when he gave Trescothick a juggling slip catch off Abdur Rehman. Luke Wells scored a very patient 28 before he clipped to midwicket and then Luke Wright was lbw, though replays confirmed it was a very poor decision. On balance, Somerset are edging it.

One really has to marvel at the talent of our quilting foremothers. With basic geometric shapes and materials they had at hand, these (mostly) women made quilt block patterns. Then they made them their own, taking the traditional quilt blocks and putting their own spin on the design.
|Rotating simple quilt block gives this quilt design
movement and interest. Quilt by Elizabeth Dackson.
In fact, literally spinning, or rotating, patchwork quilt blocks can create beautiful patterned effects. Take, for example, this contemporary Simply Squared Quilt designed by Elizabeth Dackson.
Using strictly squares and rectangles, this quilt has movement and spunk, thanks to the rotation of the blocks and the variety of color and scale within the feature fabrics.
Here is how Elizabeth creates the quilt squares to make the quilt block patterns, adapted from her description in International Quilt Festival: Quilt Scene 2012/2013.
|Quilt squares A and B.
Unit A:
1. With right sides together, sew a 2½" pink frame square to opposite sides of a 2½" green center square. Press the seams toward the pink fabric.
2. Sew a 2½" × 6½" pink frame strip to each long side of the patchwork unit, and press those seams toward the pink fabric. (Figure 1)
Unit B:
1. With right sides together, sew a 1½" blue frame square to each short end of a 1½" × 4½" purple center strip. Press the seams toward the blue fabric.
2. Sew a 1½" × 6½" blue frame strip to each side of the patchwork unit, then press the seams toward the blue fabric.
3. With right sides together, align one long raw edge of a 3½" × 6½" gray accent strip with one long side of the patchwork unit and sew. Press the seam toward the gray fabric. (Figure 2)
To construct the blocks:
|Putting the quilt block together.
1. Place 2 Unit A and 2 Unit B pieces in a 4-patch arrangement, carefully rotating the Unit A and Unit B pieces. To create depth and interest in the block, use both pink and both blue fabrics in each block arrangement. (Figure 3)
2. With right sides facing, sew the top 2 units together, pressing the seams toward Unit B. Sew the bottom 2 units together, and press the seams toward Unit B.
3. Sew the block together, butting the seams as you go.
You could make endless variations on this quilt block pattern by varying the fabric selections and the rotation of the blocks.
This is just one of many contemporary quilt block patterns in the new issue of Quilt Scene, as well as small quilting projects and home décor. Get your copy now, and start putting your own contemporary spin on block quilting.
P.S. Have you ever put your own spin on a traditional quilting element or pattern? The Makerie Creative Retreat and The Old Glory Antiques Fair are offering a scholarship to the 2013 retreat. All you have to do is send in a brief application and a creative quilt block design. The postmark deadline is Nov. 5, 2012, so get the details now if you want to enter.

It's a kind of a feature: a "canonical namespace" is not a well-defined concept, so it makes sense for the program to use the location where the object is defined as a "canonical name". This is always unique and it's actually possible to deduce it automatically just by looking at the Python object. So, there are technical reasons for using it. But I think you're referring more to the names appearing in the UI than the internal architecture. It is possible to map the names displayed to the aliases with the least number of dots, which I guess is as close to a "canonical namespace" as you can automatically get. -- Pauli Virtanen

Foster man, 19, pleads not guilty in deadly crash
A 19-year-old Foster man accused of causing a crash that killed a Connecticut woman pleaded not guilty Wednesday at his arraignment in Providence Superior Court.
A grand jury indicted Will Girard on one count of driving to endanger, death resulting.{} Girard was released on bail.
State police said Girard was driving more than 100 mph when he crashed into another car at the intersection of routes 6 and 94 in Foster on May 16. Tracy Guy, 38, of Griswold, Conn., was killed.
Girard cannot drive because of medical reasons.
A pretrial conference is scheduled for March.

What Happened to the Middle Class in the New Market Economies? The Case of Croatia and Poland
Transition countries are believed to have undergone significant social and economic structural changes. Indeed, the early transition resulted in the modification of ownership structure and recognized processes of labor reallocation as well as in rapid educational booms in many Central and Eastern European countries. In this paper we shed some light on the changes regarding the size and composition of the middle class in two transition countries, Croatia and Poland, in the period 1995-2008. In general, the size of the middle class – as defined by individuals with wages around the median – decreased in Poland roughly between 2000 and 2001, while in Croatia it returned to its initial, mid-1990s levels despite a temporary drop in the size. Our analysis of consecutive Labor Force Surveys suggests that the composition of the middle class underwent no serious structural changes over the past decade. The most important finding is that highly skilled workers have moved above the position of middle class in Croatia, while in Poland they have mostly extended the middle class.

Why Buy a Drone Carrying Case?
Posted on October 30 2015
Wondering if purchasing a drone backpack or other drone travel case is worth it? The answer to your query is yes, it's absolutely worth it. Drone backpacks and travel cases protect your investment while on the road, which is highly necessary considering most quadcopters aren't exactly cheap. If considering purchasing a drone, a carrying case is one of the best accessories you can purchase. Let's learn why:
The vast majority of drone travel cases are customized for specific drones. This allows you to provide your investment with optimal protection no matter how far you travel. For example, the Backpack by Dronefly for the DJI Phantom 3 fits the Phantom 1, FC-40, Phantom 2 H3-3D, Vision, or the Vision Plus, as well as six to 12 batteries, FPV monitor, remote controller, wall charger, and extra props. The DJI Phantom 3 Hardshell Backpack Part 50 is designed for the Phantom 3 and fits the remote controller, three batteries, a battery charger, four propellers, and of course the quadcopter.
Delicate Drones
Customization is very important in regards to drone case and travel cases, as throwing your model into any ol' backpack or bag can easily result in damage, even if you take extra care when packing. Drones feature a variety of parts that easily break off if not handled correctly, making the need for specific cases very necessary. This especially important when taking your drone on a hiking trip to capture spectacular aerial shots, or when flying. The cases work as great carry-ons.
Excellent Storage
In addition to providing protection while traveling, drone backpacks and cases also serve as optimal storage containers for your drone. Rather than placing it on a shelf and allowing it to collect dust or risking knocking it over, keep your quadcopter secure by using your case or backpack.

The UI Arboretum is a living laboratory, including plant collections and facilities that support the teaching, research, and public service programs of several units throughout campus. Located on the campus of the University of Illinois, it was developed in the late 1980s to early 1990s, and is currently 57 acres.
Central to the Arboretum was the development of the "All American Selection Trial Gardens," established by a bequest from Miles C. Hartley in the early 90s. The Department of Horticulture originally maintained the gardens and in 2004 the Arboretum was moved to the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences within the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES).

Sen. Espaillat Commemorates International Women's Day, Calls for Stepped up Fight Against Domestic Violence
NY State Senator Adriano Espaillat (D – Manhattan/Bronx) marked International Women's Day by recognizing the countless contributions of women throughout the world. He also called on a renewed commitment to fighting the scourge of domestic violence.
Senator Adriano Espaillat said:
"International Women's Day is an excellent opportunity to recognize the countless contributions of women in the United States and around the world. Whether through their leadership in the areas of arts, science, academia, athletics, business, and government, or through their everyday acts, all of us have been shaped by extraordinary women in our lives. One way we can demonstrate our gratitude to all women is to come together and work to end domestic violence in our society.
"On this International Women's Day, let's resolve to educate, empower, and engage both men and women about the issue of domestic violence. Together, we can work to protect women and families from domestic violence and make every International Women's Day brighter than the last."
Information about preventing domestic violence and resources for victims can be found at www.thehotline.org / 1-800-799-SAFE (National Domestic Violence Hotline) and www.nyscadv.org (New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence), among other sources. Senator Espaillat's office can also be helpful with directing domestic violence victims to appropriate services and resources.

My latest for the Canucks Army - two under the radar (and fantasy relevant) defensive prospects to keep an eye on.
Buzz out of Pittsburgh regarding Crosby being cleared for contact... (hat tip to Mike Brophy on Twitter for reporting this).
Nashville defenseman Mattias Ekholm is making his NHL debut tonight. He had 10 goals last season in the SEL and could be a decent sleeper if he manages to stick on one of the power play units.
I remember Marek Zidlicky coming out of left field for the Preds a few years ago - Eckholm could be the next big fantasy surprise.
I've made the point before, but I will do it again. If you come across any interesting and relevant news or info, pass it my way (angus at dobberhockey dot com). I don't get to watch every game and as we all know, you can only learn so much from reading a box score. Don't hesitate to drop me an email if you want to contribute.
The Fantasy Guide and Draft List are updated up to Friday, October 7. Hope you enjoyed this year's (sixth) edition. I'm thrilled with the content – better than ever. Also happy with the projections – I took fewer risks, only necessary ones, and I think in the end reeling it back in benefits everyone.
A solid read on the Kyle Turris situation, which inches closer and closer to disaster for both sides.
From the above:
"Kyle Turris is the first holdout of any significance in the current CBA. He might be a test case for players like him, except that we may have a different CBA next year so this test case does not apply. It hurts the Phoenix Coyotes to lose a player of his potential and probably be forced to trade him for less than full value. It hurts Kyle Turris to lose a season in his development. Although both sides can be faulted for the current impasse, the real problem is a systemic one from the CBA. As a restricted free agent with no arbitration rights, Kyle Turris is stuck in a position where there is no outside force to bring about a resolution. Both sides have made their "final" offers and are waiting for the other side to accept them. Compromise is going to be hard to negotiate."
I won't pretend to get inside the head of Turris or his agent, but I really don't understand their game plan here. The Coyotes aren't in a position to be strong-armed – if this was a market like Edmonton or Toronto, perhaps fan or media pressure would help them out. I'm not saying the Coyotes have no fans, but it is a different situation.
Secondly, Turris has proven squat. A lot of NHL players are being given big money for their second contract without proving a whole lot (van Riemsdyk recently is an example, there are countless others), but unlike most/all of these guys, Turris literally has proven nothing. He hasn't dominated at the NHL level, hell he hasn't even dominated at the AHL level.
What happens if Turris sits out the year? He, more so than most other players, needs to be getting prime minutes right now to develop and grow offensively.
Interesting news out of Long Island – with no team in the QMJHL to play for, is Kabanov headed to Europe (Sweden) to play? Kabanov has been and continues to be a huge wild card and I don't think we have read the last bit of interesting news relating to him.
Some pictures of Buffalo's new dressing room and facility.
I watched the Vancouver/Philly game in its entirety last night… my thoughts:
Cody Hodgson played his best game of the season. He saw time at the end of the game with the twins and Burrows (he was the extra attacker), and he even was double shifted with the third line at times. His wingers haven't helped him much (or at all, in Sturm's case). Perhaps he slides to the wing when Kesler returns? He looks like a brand new player this season compared to last year – bigger and stronger, and much quicker.
Hodgson led the Canucks in shots on goal with six.
Sturm was benched later in the game and saw only a few shifts in the third. Chris Higgins had another great game and I'd start taking a look at him in roto one-year leagues. He and Kesler have played together before for the USA, and he has scored 20+ goals a few times in his career. With his puck retrieval skills, he could work well with a possession center like Kesler.
When Kesler gets back, I could see the team going with a Higgins-Hodgson-Kesler line and sliding Samuelsson down in the lineup. Lots of options for the coaches.
Claude Giroux was dynamite – three points, could have had a few more. Jagr looked good at times and not so good at other times. He's exposed in terms of speed in the open ice, but on the power play he is still very deadly.
The defensive coverage in front of him wasn't great, but Luongo delivered another dud of a game (aside from robbing Jagr with a glove save). Luongo is spitting out awful rebounds and has a tendency to go down onto his stomach way, way too early with any cross-ice feeds or deflections.
Look for Cory Schneider to start in Detroit tonight. No goalie controversy but the Canucks would be smart to give Schneider time – he's earned it. Luongo's play has trended downwards the past few years (slower, seems to be over thinking things). The contract could become a major issue, but for now it isn't.
Landeskog had a goal and three shots on goal for the Avs last night.
Erik Johnson was pointless but saw almost double the PP time of any other Colorado defenseman.
Matt Calvert played the least minutes among any Columbus forward. Not as much ice time to go around this season – I think he'll find a way to earn more with his compete level and consistency as the season progresses.
Grant Clitsome and Marc Methot both played over 25 minutes for the Jackets.
David Savard saw over two minutes on the PP, but finished pointless.
Florida sent down Dadonov to the AHL – likely to get more ice time. With all of their off-season signings, there isn't ice time for him (good news for Florida fans – young players need to earn their ice time and not be handed it).
The Rangers tried a different look at practice yesterday – Stepan on LW1 and Dubinsky with Anisimov and Callahan. I love New York's forward group – a little bit of everything.
Tyler Seguin had a goal and over 20 minutes of ice time as he filled in for David Krejci on the top line.
Jamie McBain was minus two in his first game of the season (almost 20 minutes of ice time).
The Hurricanes have sent Ryan Murphy back to the OHL. Chicago has also sent Brandon Saad back.
Make sure to check the Goalie Post for the daily starts around the NHL.
I finally got my new big screen TV and PS3 set up (I've been living in the stone age for the past year or so). If any of you have the new NHL and want to play, let me know.
Who has two thumbs and isn't surprised to see Filatov scratched already? This guy.
The weekly "Studs and Duds" from Gates Imbeau:
Week 1 Recap (12/10/11)
3) Country Fever
After a strong preseason, Nashville rolls into the first week of October in good fashion, posting a 2-0-0 record. Yes, several other teams are in a similar boat or better (Philadelphia); however it is the production from unlikely sources that have poolies raising their eyebrows and racing to the waiver wire.
David Legwand – two goals, three assists, three PPP, two SOG and plus-three
Craig Smith – two goals, two assists, two PPP, seven SOG, plus-two and two PIM
Five points for Legwand? What? If memory serves me well, let others use their waiver wire bid on him – chances are that he just used up one ninth of his production for the season. If you are really struggling at center, by all means take the low risk buy. Just know that his recent four point night may definitely be a flash in the pan.
Craig Smith gained popularity on DobberHockey last spring during the World Championships and he followed up with a good preseason run and great start to the season. Gone are the days that you could easily scoop him up. No use trying to buy him from his owner, as you will likely be buying high.
2) Calder me Sabre
Last week I pegged Smith to be a top three nomination for the Calder - given the small sample size, it is looking good. However, hot on his trail is another out of nowhere rookie and new trophy threat, Luke Adam. Many knew Luke had great talent, but the consensus had him pegged for full time duty next season at the earliest.
To the surprise of many poolies, Adam found early chemistry with Vanek and Pominville on route to finishing the opening week as the league's top line. The trio combined for eleven points, four of which recorded by Adam.
While on the Calder topic, a couple points back sits Matt Read with two, while Cody Hodgson, Gabriel Landeskog as well as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all tallied one goal apiece. Zac Dalpe has yet to record a point.
1) March of the Penguins
Marching to the top of the league in standings with seven of a possible eight points in four games, the Penguins have had scoring from all over the map. Fifteen players have recorded at least one point and ten with at least two under their belt.
Leading the way is Kris Letang with a league best six points. His full stat line includes a plus-four rating, three power play points, six penalty minutes and twelve shots on goal. The stud blue liner is also probably sitting number one in most fantasy leagues at the moment. Life without Sid isn't so bad after all!
Probably the most shocking statistic for this team so far - Matt Cooke is first in goals scored. In addition, those three markers have him tied league lead. He is currently on pace for 61 goals, not too shabby!
Jordan Staal and Pascal Dupuis have both been big contributors as well with a goal and three assists each.
The Pens will be glad to have gotten those early points in as the foreseeable future will weigh hard on them. Not only have they played four games to date, the most of any team, they must play another nine games in the next sixteen days for a total of thirteen in October alone. A tough stretch for any team - especially when missing their top player(s)!
HM – With a trio of points against Vancouver on Wednesday night, Claude Giroux now has five points in three games played. Those who pegged him to be in the Art Ross race may not be looking so foolish after the first week of play. Giroux will be a dandy to watch all season, especially lining up with Jagr.
3) Jackets so Blue
Despite a better effort from Steve Mason on Wednesday night against Colorado, Columbus fell to 0-3-1. In those four games, Mason let in twelve biscuits while sporting a 3.24 GAA and a .892 save percentage.
The big guns are still going though, as Nash, Carter and Prospal combined for twelve points. But with Wisniewski suspended for another week and some, those one goal losses will be tough to digest.
2) Empty Handed
The trip to Europe wasn't so kind to the owners of Anaheim's top guns. Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan, Selanne and Visnovsky are returned pointless. Together, they combined for ten penalty minutes, a minus-four rating and 22 shots on goal. To their defence, the Ducks only scored two goals in regulation.
With three games in the next four days, look for those numbers to turn around.
1) So we aren't playing volleyball?!
Two starts, two painful losses. After the first week of hockey, Luongo has successfully made Jose Theodore look like a Vezina candidate. Roberto owners are already biting their nails while Schneider owners are smiling from cheek to cheek, and for good reason! After all, Schneider won his game against the Blue Jackets on Columbus Day and will start again Thursday.
Luongo now holds a .855 save percentage with seven goals on 56 shots and a 3.89 GAA. Beautiful.
Here are couple of tweets by Glen Hoos (@ commishoffice), that are probably commonly shared by Luongo owners alike: "I've got Luongo in two leagues... makes it twice as painful every time I have to watch him get beat while lying face down. Long year ahead? " "Nucks should pull a Goldberg (Might Ducks) and tie Lou to the crossbar."

The Office of Special Counsel issued a report Monday concluding that White House officials and political appointees were guilty of numerous violations of the Hatch Act.
The report, OSC said in a press release, "revealed that White House Office of Political Affairs employees, as well as high-level agency political appointees, violated the Hatch Act through a number of practices that were prevalent during the months leading up to the 2006 midterm elections."
The Hatch Act establishes standards for what level and type of political activity is appropriate for federal employees.
OSC's report focused on "the transformation of OPA from an advisory office to the president into a campaign organization that worked directly with the Republican National Committee to achieve electoral success for Republican candidates" and "the improper use of U.S. Treasury funds to support Republican campaign activity."
POLITICO noted Monday that the OSC findings were "released just a few days after the Obama White House announced that it plans to shutter its administration's Office of Political Affairs and move some of the staffers there to the payrolls of the Democratic National Committee and a still-to-be-formed presidential re-election committee in Chicago."
The OSC report has a long history. It originated with a probe of a January 2007 meeting involving then-General Services Administration Administrator Lurita Doan, several of the agency's political appointees and former White House political aide Scott Jennings.
As GovExec reported in April 2008:
After Jennings showed a PowerPoint slide show detailing Republican electoral plans Doan asked, "How can we help our candidates?"
Doan has consistently said she does not remember making such a comment.
But the OSC, citing multiple witnesses, concluded the statement was tantamount to instructing subordinates to use their offices to assist Republican candidates. "Doan solicited the political activity of over 30 of her subordinate employees," Special Counsel Scott Bloch wrote in a June 8 summary of his office's investigation.
At that time, OSC officials pledged to expand the probe into other White House political activities. But POLITICO reports their efforts may have been sidetracked by Bloch's own legal troubles.

TEL AVIV (Mar. 3)
Transport Minister Gad Yaacobi urged Premier Yitzhak Rabin last night to try to get the United States to reverse its opposition to the sale of 24 Israel-made Kfir jet fighters to Ecuador when he visits Washington next week. Addressing the 19th annual Aviation and Aeronautics Convention here, Yaacobi said the sale, the value of which has been put at between $150-$200 million, could be a turning point for Israel's aircraft industry.
He said he hoped the Premier would spare no effort to impress the Americans with this fact. The U.S. has refused to issue a re-export license for the General Electric engines that power the Kfir, thereby vetoing the sale the U.S. State Department says the decision was based on American policy not to introduce sophisticated weaponry to Latin America.
Yaacobi stressed the importance of military exports to Israel's economy. He said that Israel Aircraft Industries. which makes the Kfir and also manufactures the Gabriel and Shafrir missiles, the Araba transport planes, radar and other advanced electronics systems, has increased its export sales 12-fold in the last five years. He said sales rose from $6 million in 1971 to $73 million last year.
Dr. Zeev Bonen, of the Military Means Development Authority, told the 800 engineers and scientists from Israel and abroad who are attending the convention that Israel needed to develop aeronautical systems based on an economic infra-structure that will allow Israel to export its products in that line.
IAI engineers pointed out how the Kfir differs from the French Mirage-3 and Mirage-5, the prototypes from which it was developed. The differences, they said, are mainly in the Kfir's aerodynamic structure embodied in its nose and wing edges.
There are even greater differences internally, they said, because the powerful American engines and new electric and avionic systems required larger spaces, The interior of the Kfir was adapted to accommodate these systems. It posed the most complicated engineering problems but these were solved by IAI engineers to make the Kfir completely an Israeli product despite its foreign antecedants, they said.

Soil Sampling Fittings
Navajo Nations and the Clean Water Act
Stihl Chain Saw Recall
Valentine's Day isn't closely associated with the type of products you find in a Ben Meadow's catalog. Which comes as a surprise to a lot of us on the Ben Meadow's Team. We can't imagine anything more romantic than offering your special someone a heart shaped box with a Spherical Densiometer carefully tucked inside.
Thoughts like this led us to wonder what would be the most romantic way to declare You're my Valentine! to an Outdoor Pro who is the apple of your eye. And while it may be too late this year to wrap up tributes like these, here are some of the ideas we had for Valentine's Day, 2007:
Mechanix Wear® Original Gloves - To protect the hand you want to hold during your next hike through the timber.
STRUCTRON® Round-Point Shovel - To leave no doubt that when you say, "I dig you," you truly mean it.
Weaver® Positioning Saddle - To safely cradle your rugged, snuggle bunny when you cannot.
EXTECH® Big Digit Indoor/Outdoor Hygro-Thermometer - For when you ask, "Is it hot in here, or is it you?" you'll have a definitive answer.
Sight Defense™ BRAVO Polarized Eyewear - So that your sweetheart's gaze will always remain in stereo.
Brunton® Atlas MNS™ GPS - So your loved one will always find his/her way back to you.
A list like this, prepared from our catalog, could go on and on. Which is why we're so confused by Ben's lack of association with Valentine's Day. We're taking this matter very seriously. In fact, don't be surprised if you run into Gary, one of our Product Managers, dressed in a diaper holding Cupid's bow at one of our next trade show events.
After all, he runs around the office like that on Fridays anyway.
Comparing Soil Sampler Fittings
There are four basic fittings used by soil auger manufacturers: threaded, bayonet, quick-connect and pin lock. Each design presents features and advantages that may be helpful for your particular soil sampling application. Knowing what's available is the first step toward choosing the right tool.
THREADED: This type of connection is sometimes referred to as a conical screw connection. When using extension rods the threaded connection will give a firmer, more stable connection. This fitting is better in hard soils or when hampering or jarring is required. Clockwise rotation when both augering and removing the auger from the hole is always used to prevent the unscrewing of components. This type of fitting has the largest amount of design differences throughout the industry. Recently, new innovations have made assembling threaded fittings much easier. For example, the Signature Series, manufactured by AMS, significantly reduces field time spent connecting and disconnecting components.
BAYONET: With a bayonet connection each of the sampler components to be joined are clamped into each other. A coupling sleeve is slid across the connection point and rotated until it locks in place. Bayonet style augers provide easy connection and disconnection without the use of tools.
QUICK CONNECT: Similar to the bayonet fitting, quick connect augers allow for both right- and left-handed (clockwise and counter clockwise) rotation without the possibility of disconnecting. The positive locking spring-loaded pin simply snaps the auger into place. Quick connect fittings allow easy connecting without the need for tools.
PIN LOCK: Pin lock fittings use a separate cross pin which can be totally removed from the auger components. This fitting can be rotated both right- and left-handed with little possibility of separation. Pin lock augers make it easy to quickly change the auger head or add extensions. Some brands, like the Gopher auger system, utilize a SquareLink shaft which reduces stress on the fitting.

Navajo Nations to Administer Clean Water Act Programs
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the Navajo Nations application to administer federal Clean Water Act programs. This means Navajo Nations can now administer water quality standards and a certification program. The tribe is also authorized to grant or deny certification for federally permitted or licensed activities that may affect waters that lie within the exterior borders of the Navajo Nation.
In order to receive the EPA's approval, the tribe must be federally recognized, have a governing body and powers, have jurisdiction to administer the programs and be reasonably capable of administering the program
The tribe will work with the EPA to adopt water quality standards which should form the basis for water quality effluent limits and other discharge requirements.
The Clean Water Act enforcement programs now under The Navajo Nation's jurisdiction include:
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program
Wet Weather Enforcement Programs
Storm Water Program
Sanitary Sewer Overflow Program
Combined Sewer Overflow Program
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations Program
Pretreatment Program
Biosolid/Sludge Program
Wetlands Dredged and Fill Material Program
Oil and Hazardous Substances Spills Program
The Navajo Nation is the largest Indian reservation in the US covering 27,000 square miles and shares its borders with Arizona, Utah and New Mexico.

Stihl Inc. Announces Recall of Chain Saw
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Stihl Inc.
announced a voluntary recall of the Stihl-brand MS 192 T Chain Saws. Consumers should stop using said recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. The recall affects roughly 23,500 units.
There are two hazards that have triggered the recall. The first is the possibility of a fuel leak, which poses a fire hazard. A connection in the ignition grounding system could loosen and create a spark, posing a fire hazard. The second hazard involves the springs in the clutch assembly. These springs could come out of position allowing them to be projected from the saw housing resulting in an injury to the user.
The recall includes Stihl chain saws that have the model number MS 192 T, located on the side of the chain saw's starter housing. They include serial numbers 264371702 through 266087005, which is located on the top/front of the chain saw's housing. The model has been for sale at authorized Stihl dealers nationwide from January, 2005 through July, 2005 for about $280.00
The remedy consists of consumers to stop using the chain saws immediately and return them to an authorized Stihl dealer for a free repair. To locate an authorized Stihl dealer contact Stihl Inc. at (800) 610-6677 between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit Stihl's Web site at:
