As of 7:00 p.m. tonight, the Plumas County Sheriff's Office will initiate a Mandatory Evacuation of the communities of Canyon Dam and Big Meadows. Additionally, the Plumas County Sheriff's Office will escalate to a Voluntary Evacuation for the communities of Almanor and Prattville. West Almanor remains under Advisement.
Highway 89 will be closed with a hard closure from Butt Lake Road to the Hwy 89 / Old Haun Road intersection north of Greenville. Highway 147 from Canyon Dam to County Road A13 will be closed to through traffic. It will be open to residents only. Also, Old Haun Road will be closed to all traffic.
This change in evacuation status is due to a planned change in strategy for fighting the Chips Fire. The management team has planned an offensive approach to stopping the fire through implementing a series of burn out operations along pre-planned and prepared dozer lines. This will allow firefighters to 'fight fire with fire', reducing fuels between the main body of fire and the communities and infrastructure being protected. In order to provide for both firefighter and public safety during these activities, fire managers ask residents to please comply with the Sheriff's Department orders to evacuate. The Evacuation Center will be located at the Memorial Hall Center in Chester on Gay StreetFire activity increased today as expected when the fire moved up the Clear Creek drainage, approximately one quarter mile from Ohio Valley. Spotting occurred on the east side of the north fork of the Feather River near the northeast corner of the fire. Crews on the south end of the fire continued working to construct line near Red Hill. Completion of fireline in this area is expected by the end of the day tomorrow. Crews patrolled the southeast side of the fire near Caribou and held, improved and mopped up line on the north side of the fire.
Tonight's Actions: In order to take advantage of lower temperatures and higher humidities during the night-time, burnout operations will be conducted southwest of Canyon Dam tonight. Firing crews will begin burnout operations at approximately 7:30 p.m. along pre-planned and prepared dozer lines, slowly putting fire on the ground.
Community Meetings: Two community meetings will be held tomorrow, August 20, 2012. The first meeting will be held at Lake Almanor West Community Park at 10:30 a.m., 177 Lake Almanor West Drive, Lake Almanor West, CA 96020. The second meeting will be held at the Hamilton Branch Fire Station at 12:30 p.m., 791 Big Springs Road Hamilton Branch, CA 96137.
Hand crews continued direct line construction from the Cinder Peak area towards Prospect Peak. Crews continue to patrol from Hat Lake north towards Fantastic Lava Beds. Firefighters held, patrolled and mopped up from Hat Lake to the Fantastic Lava Beds following MIST tactics on all divisions inside the park. Crews began repairing the Pacific Crest Trail and other areas impacted by fire suppression. Snag removal continued today on the Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway.
The Reading Fire is 51% contained. When referring to a fire, the difference between a fire being contained or controlled can be unclear. When a fire is contained a fuel break had been completed around the fire manually by hand line, and/or mechanically by dozer line. These breaks may also include the use of natural barriers such as rocky outcroppings. When a fire has been controlled, the fireline is secure enough so that flare-ups within the fire perimeter will not break through the line. Therefore, just because a line is contained does not mean that the fire is controlled.

Hits: "What I Need to Do," "The Tin Man," "Me and You," "She's Got It All," "A Chance," "That's Why I'm Here," "How Forever Feels," "You Had Me From Hello," "The Good Stuff. Other: Chesney's first album, In My Wildest Dreams, only sold 10,000 copies before Capricorn Records' country music division shut down. Unlike many country music artists of his generation, Kenny Chesney's career didn't take off right from the get-go. Born in Powell, Tenn., Chesney discovered an interest in music during high school and began to play gigs at local clubs near his college of East Tennessee State University. Over the course of the early '90s, Chesney began to attract the attention of the Nashville music executives and signed with Sony BMG in 1995. Although Chesney's first album, In My Wildest Dreams, was a flop, his second album, All I Need To Know, gained traction on the country charts and yielded two Top 10 country hits with "Fall In Love" and "All I Need To Know." The 1996 follow-up, Me And You, was his first record to go gold and featured a slew of successful singles like "When I Close My Eyes." Chesney's real breakthrough album came in 1999 with Everywhere We Go, which sold more than 2 million copies and spawned the successful country hits "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," "How Forever Feels" and "You Had Me From Hello." After this groundbreaking record, each of Chesney's next 8 next albums hit No. 1 on the U.S. country charts and kicked off an unprecedented run of success that has taken him to the top of the country music scene. With a highly anticipated album set to drop in 2013 and another major tour planned, Kenny Chesney fans have plenty of surprises to look forward to in the near future.
O ver the course of 2012, Kenny Chesney got back to what he does best, touring and putting out another successful studio album. With the success of Welcome to the Fishbowl, Chesney's 13th solo album and 8th No. 1 U.S. Country album, as well as his high-grossing Brothers of the Sun Tour with Tim McGraw, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, and Jake Owen, there are few musicians in the business who are on a bigger roll than Chesney. With a major tour and the release of another studio album, Life On A Rock, country fans have plenty more in store for 2013 The No Shoes Nation Tour 2013 kicks off in March and is scheduled to hit some of the biggest venues on and off the concert circuit. As you can always expect from a Kenny Chesney tour, the country star is bringing some of the industries top talent along for the ride including the Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, Kasey Musgraves and the Eli Young Band. From his old school classics like "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem" to the hit single "Pirate Flag" of his new album Life On A Rock, Kenny Chesney always delivers a great set list!

Early Life Sleep Apnea Could Lead To Cardiovascular DiseaseBy Daniel H. Rasolt
Posted: Wednesday, May 21, 2008
(Defeat Diabetes® News) -- Sleep apnea during early childhood might greatly increase the risk of later life cardiovascular disease, according to a recent Israeli study. The study found that the condition often starts early in life, enhancing the importance of the findings.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by irregular breathing during sleep, where during certain times (apnea's), at least one breath is missed. This continued process can lower blood oxygen levels, and as is shown in this and past studies, can help lead to dangerous cardiovascular problems. The condition is diagnosed by a testing procedure called polysomnography.
70 young children between 12 and 26 months old, all with confirmed OSA, were analyzed in the study. It was found that 46 of the children had high levels of N Terminal pro B type Natriuretic Peptide (NTproBNP) and C Reactive Protein (CRP), both closely associated with cardiovascular disease in older children and adults.
There is little in the form of treatment of OSA in young children, and these findings show a greater importance of finding a treatment. "OSA starts from the first year of life," says Dr. Aviv Goldbart, lead researcher for the study. Dr. Goldbart concludes that "Increased levels of CRP in children with OSA may require cardiovascular assessment. But further studies are needed first to determine the need to diagnose and treat OSA at a very young age."

Live Blog: NHL Trade Deadline Day 2013
By Allan Muir
I'll be constantly updating this post with the latest rumors and confirmed deals during the lead-up to the NHL's trade deadline on 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday, April 3. You can read my previous takes on the first major deals — Jaromir Jagr to the Bruins, Derek Roy to the Canucks and more — here.
TRADE TRACKER: Complete team-by-team list of transactions since March 24
Wednesday, April 3
6:10 p.m. That's a wrap
Deadline Day 2013 was destined to be a low-wattage event until a flurry of bold deals at the buzzer set some teams up for a dramatic finish…and others for a much brighter future.
You have to be impressed by Jarmo Kekalainen's willingness to go big to push his Blue Jackets toward a short-term reward, and Darcy Regier's ability to maximize the return for Jason Pominville. If you need a snap judgement on the winners of the day, those top two the list.
As for losers, you have to consider Jim Rutherford and Kevin Cheveldayoff, who were unable to improve their sides with the Southeast division title up for grabs. Maybe their cautious approach pays off in the long-run, but in the short term they lost ground to their rival in Washington…and that may mean another spring on the playoff sidelines.
If you missed out on the action, here's how it played out, warts and all.
5:05 p.m. TRADE: Jeff Deslauriers to Minnesota
And so deadline day goes out like a lamb as the Ducks send their fifth string netminder to the Wild for future considerations–the proverbial "bag of pucks."
4:55 p.m. TRADE: Martin Erat to Washington
The day's last deal paints a clear picture of the pressure Washington GM George McPhee is under to get his team into the playoffs. The Caps needed immediate scoring help and Erat, despite having just four goals this season for Nashville, has a resume that proves he can be much more productive. Moving to a new system might be what he needs to get his game back on track. The Caps also get Michael Latta, a physical forward who is developing into a decent playmaker. He's close to being NHL-ready as a bottom-six center.
It's a good haul for the Caps, but they paid a steep price in Forsberg, the 11th overall choice in last summer's draft. Pretty unusual to see a top pick dealt so quickly, but the Caps have some depth in this part of their prospect pool. He's a highly regarded kid, and while there are varying takes on his upside ranging from third-line power forward to first line sniper, he's sure to be a player. Scouts rave about his heavy shot and his compete level. He's a huge get for an organization that lacks blue-chippers up front.
4:21 p.m. TRADE: Jason Pominville to Minnesota
Full details are now in on this deal…and they are stunning.
In exchange for Pominville and a 2014 fourth rounder, Buffalo gets Matt Hackett, Johan Larsson, a 2013 first rounder and 2014 second rounder. Sabres fans? For all the grief you've given GM Darcy Regier–and heaven knows he's earned every bit of it–he deserves flowers and cookies for this deal.
Good grief, what a fleecing this is! Hackett can play as a backup in the NHL now, and has the potential to become a No. 1. I talked to a scout about him last week before he played against the Stars and he was very enthusiastic about Hackett's athleticism and skill set. Larsson is a big-bodied pivot who plays a defensively-minded game. There's not a lot of flash to him, but he'll be a solid No. 3 at worst, and possibly a decent No. 2. Add in the picks and it's great haul for a player who would have been tough to re-sign.
The trick now will be convincing Thomas Vanek that dishing the captain is a re-tooling, not a rebuild, when they try to extend his contract after this season.
It was a heavy price to pay, but not too steep for a Minnesota team that has a deep system and hasn't made the playoffs in four years. Pominville plays a gritty, 200-foot game and can be used in all situations, which makes him a significant upgrade to their top-six and makes the Wild a much more dangerous team.
3:31 p.m. TRADE: Steve Sullivan to New Jersey
Seventh-round pick goes to Phoenix. The Devils needed scoring help and the veteran forward has a little bit left in the tank. This feels like one of those small deals that could pay big dividends in the postseason.
3:31 p.m. TRADE: Matthew Lombardi to Anaheim
The Ducks have been scrambling all season to find a second-line center. After losing out on Derek Roy, they settle for Lombardi. A reasonable facsimile? Not quite. Still has decent wheels and gives an honest effort, but he doesn't have top-six hands and he's had a hard time staying healthy. That said, he seems like a better fit for Bruce Boudreau's system than Dave Tippett's, so he could surprise. Prospect Brandon McMillan goes to Phoenix in return. He's failed to make an impression despite several call-ups to the Ducks, so a change of scenery is best-case for him. He might find a place as a checking winger and penalty killer with the Coyotes.
3:23 p.m. TRADE: Wade Redden to Boston
These last two deals make me think I should have skated a little harder during the lockout. Redden started fairly well for the Blues, but it didn't take long before his lack of foot speed and poor decision-making led to pucks ending up in his net. Management brought in a pair of more reliable replacements in Jay Bouwmeester and Jordan Leopold this week, leaving no room for Redden. Obviously the B's pick him up as cheap insurance ahead of the playoffs, but unless reuniting with Zdeno Chara resets his game to 2005, it's hard to imagine him helping this team. The Blues get an unspecified draft pick in return, but don't expect them to collect. They're just happy to move his contract.
3:16 p.m. TRADE: Ryan O'Byrne to Toronto
The Leafs send a fourth rounder to Colorado for a player who spent much of this season playing like he was plotting a return to the minors. Slow, questionable hockey sense, mistake prone…these aren't the qualities most teams are looking for in a defender, but the Leafs apparently like his toughness and see him as a useful depth add for the playoff run. Just hope that the opinion of one of the analysts on TSN ("He can take over some of those match-ups against top players") isn't shared by the Leafs or they will be gravely disappointed.
3:01 p.m. fact
Luongo is still a Canuck. Multiple sources have confirmed that the team was unable to deal their high-priced back-up despite talks with Toronto leading right up to the deadline. If you haven't seen his press conference, it's well worth checking out. It was as emotionally honest as you'll ever see an athlete. Truly compelling stuff.
2:59 p.m. TRADE: Raffi Torres to San Jose
It looks the Sharks are hoping Torres can step in and replace the physicality they lost in dealing Ryane Clowe yesterday, while adding some much-needed speed on the wing. They ship a third rounder to Phoenix in return. It'll be interesting to see how he's received in San Jose, where he's been reviled for years after nearly taking off Milan Michalek's head during a 2006 playoff series.
2:55 p.m. gossip
TSN is reporting that Roberto Luongo was pulled from the ice minutes before the deadline by the team's PR director, T.C. Carling. Maybe he just wants to tell Lu that he left his car lights on…
2:54 p.m. TRADE: Blake Comeau to Columbus
The Flames get a fifth-round pick in a deal that helps the Jackets fill in the roster spots vacated by the Gaborik trade. Comeau is quick and a solid checker. He'll be useful in a bottom-six role.
2:36 p.m. TRADE: Jason Pominville to Minnesota
Details to come, but as Mike Russo speculated earlier, it's likely that a young goalie (Matt Hackett) and a top prospect (Johan Larsson) are involved.
2:32 p.m. TRADE: Marian Gaborik to Columbus
Derick Brassard, John Moore and Derek Dorsett and a sixth-round pick are the reported return in this bold but curious move by new Columbus GM Jarmo Kekalainen. No doubt he gets the player who can make the biggest immediate impact, and for a team desperate to make the playoffs for just the second time in franchise history, that's significant. Two issues, though. First, Gaborik is an older player (31) whose struggles this season may indicate a career in decline. Second, it seems odd that a young and building organization would deal away two recent first rounders in Brassard and Moore. Maybe Kekalainen, a fine judge of talent, has seen enough of the duo to know that they're not part of the future he wants to build. We'll know soon enough.
For the Rangers, this seems like the deal they needed remedy their obvious ills. It addresses the depth that was decimated by last summer's Rick Nash trade, and adds some much-needed grit through Dorsett, who is hurt now (collarbone) but should be back before the end of the regular season. Nearly as important, they shed $7.5 million they would have owed Gaborik next season. With the cap dropping to $64.3 million, that's a significant consideration in this deal.
2:28 p.m. TRADE: Steve Mason to Philadelphia
At some point, his friends will set up an intervention, right? Just tell Paul Holmgren to put down the phone, to stop asking about goalies. The guy needs help obviously. In a perfect world, he quits cold turkey and hires someone to specifically deal with netminders so he never has to again. Look at today. After falling short in his bid to acquire Ben Bishop, he deals for Mason, the former Calder winner who lost his job in Columbus to Sergei Bobrovsky, the goalie he shipped out of town last summer. Mason has been brutal for years now. Hard to imagine he'll rediscover his game in the goaltending graveyard of Philly. The Blue Jackets picked up a third round pick in 2015 and depth goalie Michael Leighton, but mostly they turned the page on one of the most disappointing players in franchise history.
2:11 p.m. gossip
Mike Russo says the Wild are on the verge of trading one of their young goalies. Wonder if that was before or after Tampa decided on Bishop?
2:06 p.m. TRADE: Ben Bishop to Tampa Bay, Cory Conacher to Ottawa
The move comes a little late to save this season, but this was exactly the move Steve Yzerman needed to make for the Bolts moving forward. Bishop proved he could handle the load in Ottawa. He can step in immediately and give Anders Lindback and Andrei Vasilevski the time they need to develop their game.
Interesting note about Bishop and his new coach, Jon Cooper, courtesy of SI.com's Stu Hackel: The two were rivals in the NAHL–Bishop with the Texas Tornado and Cooper with the Texarkana Bandits. Bishop's father was an ownership partner in the Bandits when Texarkana moved to St. Louis.
Key for the Sens was getting a player who can step in and contribute right away, rather than a high draft pick. Conacher was a rookie of the year candidate early on, but has slowed down as the season wore on. That's more a result of the long season–a typical college player malaise–than his undersized body taking a beating. He'll slide into a top-six role and chip in on the power play for the Sens.
This is a good deal that sees both side addressing immediate needs.
2:01 p.m. signing
Not a trade, but a nice add for the Panthers. The kids, and better days, are on their way.
The Panthers announce they've signed Minnesota junior forward and 1st-round pick Nick Bjugstad. Have to imagine he'll see some NHL time soon—

1:50 p.m. gossip
Mike Ribeiro doesn't expect to be signed or traded today.
1:46 p.m. insider insight
Reason for lack of trades today? Crosby's jaw is wired shut, meaning he can't reach out and speak to other players.—
Ian Mendes (@ian_mendes) April 03, 2013
1:29 p.m. TRADE: Jussi Jokinen to Pittsburgh
The Pens send a conditional draft pick to Carolina for a guy they could have grabbed off of waivers last week. Of course, Sidney Crosby was still in the lineup then. Jokinen is a skill player who can slide in at center or wing, and can help on the power play. He's not the quickest guy out there and he doesn't have a lot of compete in his game, but used in a limited role, he might be able to chip in. Word is the Hurricanes are eating part of his salary.
1:22 p.m. gossip
FYI…for those asking about Drew Stafford. Word is Darcy Regier is looking for a #1 to start for Drew Stafford…—
Bob Stauffer (@Bob_Stauffer) April 03, 2013
1:15 p.m. gossip
Multiple sources are reporting that Derek Morris has been asked to submit a list of eight teams to which he's willing to be traded. Have to believe the Bruins would be first at the door if the Coyotes are serious about moving the veteran defender, who played 58 games with the B's back in 2009-10.
1:14 p.m. gossip
Brian Lawton tweets that Columbus D Jack Johnson is in play. Anything possible with new management in place, but Johnson seems like a core piece. If they're seriously dangling him, Joe Nieuwendyk needs to get on the phone immediately.
12:33 p.m. TRADE: Scott Hannan to San Jose
Wait…wasn't he already playing there? Apparently Hannan was with Nashville this season, where the 34-year-old posted a minus-11 rating that was tied for the team's worst. Amazing that the Preds were able to get a seventh-round pick from the Sharks for the one guy in the league who might be slower than the recently departed Douglas Murray.
12:33 p.m. TRADE: Jerred Smithson to Edmonton
The Panthers get a conditional draft pick in exchange for the depth center, reportedly a fourth rounder. The 34-year-old brings size and experience and a right-handed presence in the faceoff circle, but he doesn't seem like much of an upgrade over current fourth liner Eric Belanger.
Sub-plot to the deal: Smithson was on his way to the hospital where his wife was having labor induced when he got the call informing him he'd been dealt. A veteran like Smithson should know better than to fraternize with his wife nine months ahead of the trade deadline, right?
Tradecentre: The Smithson baby … Future considerations?—

12:35 p.m. gossip
Mike Russo of the Star Tribune says the Wild have interest in Buffalo's Jason Pominville.
12:23 p.m. TRADE: Max Sauve to Chicago, Rob Flick to Boston
Is that a massive buzz building in reaction to the day's first swap? Nope. Probably just your tinnitus acting up. I mean, a trade to bolster the toughness of AHL powerhouse Providence is exactly what we all got up early for, right? Actually, probably shouldn't completely blow this off. The B's once sent a lightly regarded but highly skilled minor leaguer named Kris Versteeg to the Hawks at the deadline. Worked out pretty well for Chicago. Sauve (the son of former goalie Bob Sauve) has good hands, but lacks the strength to win battles down low. Flick is a big, physical forward who doesn't mind dropping the gloves. Probably not picked up with an eye on filling in for the injured Patrice Bergeron, but a nice add for the Baby B's.
12:17 p.m. gossip
Seeing two of the top seven selections from the 2004 draft (Cam Barker and Rusty Olesz) pass through waivers today is a reminder that being a top-10 pick is no guarantee of success. Still, hard to believe the Jets are willing to move Alex Burmistrov (8th, 2010) this early in his career. Listening to offers? Sure…but at this stage of his development, no one's going to overpay for the skilled forward. That's the only way Kevin Cheveldayoff moves him.

Sounds like the Miikka Kiprusoff sweepstakes has come to an end. Darren Dreger on TSN just reported that the goaltender has cited family reasons in confirming that he would like to finish off the season in Calgary and then retire.
Well, that's a blow to any team that wanted to get a goalie with an .868 save percentage.—
Bruce Arthur (@bruce_arthur) April 03, 2013
If the Leafs are determined to add a veteran to the mix, Edmonton's Nikolai Khabibulin is a more sensible option than Roberto Luongo and the nine years remaining on his deal.

Arthur Staple (@StapeNewsday) April 03, 2013
Unless the Isles are offering John Tavares (and they're not), there is zero chance of this happening. Zero.
11:15 a.m. gossip
Will the Sens move Ben Bishop before Craig Anderson is back in uniform?
PHX one of 5 teams in on OTT G Ben Bishop. Better than 50-50 chance he's moved today.—
Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) April 03, 2013
I have to think Steve Yzerman will be in the mix here. He has young talent in the pipeline, but the Bolts require help now. They can afford the price (pick/prospect). They're the front-runners in my book.
10:53 a.m. gossip
The Phoenix Coyotes are near their league-regulated spending limit, so any trade would likely require the other team to eat some salary.
10:45 a.m. gossip
Ron Hainsey has a 15-team no-trade clause and is an interesting option on defense today. Bruins could be a fit there.—
Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) April 03, 2013
Please, let this happen. NHLPA hardliner Hainsey and Boston owner Jeremy Jacobs made such a cute couple during the CBA negotiations…
10:34 a.m. gossip
Lots of chatter about the Blues needing to do something after learning that Jaroslav Halak will be out at least three weeks. Can they hold onto a spot in the top eight with Jake Allen and Brian Elliott manning the net? I think they stand pat, but if they add someone, it will have to be an expiring contract. Halak and Elliott both are signed through next season, and Allen needs to be re-upped.
10:24 a.m. gossip
The Leafs would love to move C Tim Connolly, but I'm guessing there aren't many GMs who missed the news he'd been scratched from this morning's game by the Marlies after going 13 games without a goal in the AHL.
10:17 a.m. gossip
Keith Yandle is said to be in play, but the asking price is a top center. Doing the math on that one, there aren't any teams who need defensive help that have an extra 1 or 2 C lying around. Don't expect Yandle to move.
10:13 a.m. player signing
The Blues have agreed to an EL deal with Dmitrij Jaskin, who had 46 goals and 99 points as a rookie with Moncton of the QMJHL this season.

Multiple sources saying that the Isles are focusing solely on re-signing Mark Streit and are not willing to trade the vet defenseman. With a playoff berth at hand, I can't imagine any realistic scenario that sees him being dealt. Not sure the right player is available to fill their needs…and honestly, I can't believe they'd give up on Burmistrov so quickly.
8:59 a.m. gossip
NHL assistant GM tells SI.com "There's nobody out there that I'd [move a first-round pick] for. Not going to happen…unless someone totally unexpected becomes available." Says that first rounders, especially this year, are too valuable.
8:53 a.m. gossip
NHL source tells SI.com Senators not in a rush to move Ben Bishop, but the right combination of pick (a second) and prospect (depending on positioning of that pick) could lead to a deal.
8:49 a.m. gossip
Mike Ribeiro has lowered his contract extension demands. That could impact Washington's willingness to re-sign their leading scorer. My guess is that he doesn't get traded, regardless of his contract situation. Caps are too close to playoffs to throw up the white flag.

Prior news from Tuesday, April 2
9:00 p.m. gossip
The Fourth Period reports the Flames are close to trading defender Cory Sarich.
8:31 p.m. TRADE: Paradis to Tampa Bay
The deal: Tampa Bay acquires LW Philippe Paradis from Chicago in exchange for D Kirill Gotovets.
The skinny: The 27th overall pick in 2009, Paradis is already on to his fourth pro organization. Despite being a decent scorer with a bit of edge to his game in the QMJHL, he hasn't been able to translate his game at the minor pro level. Gotovets is a smallish defensive defender who spent the past three seasons at Cornell, but also has some experience playing for the Belorussian national team at the senior level. At 21 he still has some upside, but he's got the look of a guy unlikely to advance past the AHL.
7:55 p.m. TRADE: Vincour to Avs
The deal: Dallas sends F Tomas Vincour to Colorado for D Cameron Gaunce
The skinny: If you saw the Stars lose to the Kings on Sunday night, you saw Vincour punch his ticket out of town with a brain-dead backwards pass in the defensive zone that Brad Richardson picked off and promptly deposited behind Kari Lehtonen. A fifth round pick in 2009, Vincour is a tantalizingly toolsy player, but he's yet to put it all together and earn a full-time job in Dallas despite numerous opportunities. A big part of the problem is the low-grade hockey sense that sabotages his best efforts.
Gaunce a 2008 second rounder, is a physical defender who can play on a team's third pairing. His game has regressed this season after a promising 2011-12 campaign. The Stars probably see him as an option to replace struggling veteran Aaron Rome. Ultimately, it's a swap of players whose ELCs expire at the end of this season and probably wouldn't have been re-signed. A change of scenery may be the thing to jump start their careers.
7:15 p.m. gossip
Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun reports that the Carolina Hurricanes scratched Jamie McBain for tonight's game against Washington. The young blueliner is thought to be on the block.
7:10 p.m. gossip
Dan Murphy of Sportnet quotes Vancouver GM Mike Gillis as saying the acquisition of Derek Roy gives him more flexibility in possible Roberto Luongo trade talks because he no longer needs to acquire a center in any deal.
6:30 p.m. TRADE: Clowe to Rangers
The deal: San Jose sends LW Ryane Clowe to the New York Rangers for a 2013 second-rounder, a 2013 third-rounder and a conditional 2014 pick (a second if he re-signs with Rangers or if they win two playoff rounds, otherwise a fifth).
The skinny: This would make little sense for the Rangers if Clowe was simply a rental, but word is the two sides already have the parameters of an extension worked out. Not that the Blueshirts and the league's worst offense could use some immediate help, but a guy who hasn't scored a goal all season would be an odd one to turn to, right? But the Rangers clearly need a little more sand in their mix and Clowe provides that by the bucketful. Look for him to be revived (if not this season, then next) by a change in scenery.
This is the third player the Sharks have moved out in the last week. The common denominator isn't their impending free agency, it's their lack of speed. San Jose's inability to match the quickness of other teams, especially up front, has killed them for the past couple years. Doug Wilson may have trouble replacing the burly physicality of Clowe, but he knows his team has to pick up the pace. Moving out the deadwood creates roster and cap space to bring in some burners. And boy, does he have a nice cache of draft picks to play with. Look for him to make another move or do before the deadline.
4:00 p.m. TRADE: Drewiske to Montreal
The deal: Montreal acquires D Davis Drewiske from Los Angeles for a 2013 fifth-round pick.
The skinny: You can never have too many defensemen come playoff time…unless you're the Kings who needed to move a body after acquiring Robyn Regehr Monday night. Drewiske plays a simple, low-risk game. Not a lot of flash, but he makes very few mistakes. He's got a bit of physicality in his game, and he can help on the penalty kill. It might not seem like much now, but this is the sort of deal that has a way of gaining importance as the postseason wears on.

NCAA turning up heat on agent-player relations with more probes
Story Highlights
Florida, UNC and S.C. are the latest schools to face agent-related investigations
The inquiry into UNC is believed to stem from a tweet sent by DT Marvin Austin
An agent allegedly gave ex-Gator Maurkice Pouncey $100K before the Sugar Bowl
When the NCAA handed down severe sanctions against USC last month, I wrote that the Committee on Infractions parlayed the Reggie Bush and O.J. Mayo scandals to send a message to athletic departments around the country about vigilance in monitoring star players' relationships with prospective agents.
Apparently that was just the beginning.
Over the past few days, we've learned that the NCAA is conducting investigations into several high-profile draft prospects' dealings with agents at both North Carolina and South Carolina. On Monday, Florida responded to an ESPN.com report, acknowledging it turned over information to law enforcement officials last month regarding an allegation that an agent paid former star lineman Maurkice Pouncey $100,000 prior to last year's Sugar Bowl.
And more salacious agent-related headlines could soon follow. Sports agent Darren Heitner, author of the watchdog site SportsAgentBlog, said he's received numerous tips of potential improprieties involving other current players.
"Things could get worse with the schools that have already been reported, and I wouldn't be shocked [if stories broke] at two more schools in the very near future," said Heitner. "You hear things every year. The difference this year is that it seems as though enforcement is being taken seriously."
Call it the Bush Push II.
Rachel Newman-Baker, the NCAA's Director of Agent, Gambling and Amateurism Activities, cannot comment on specific investigations (including USC's, which is currently in the appeals process). But she said her seven-member investigative team is receiving increased cooperation from parties that might have information about potential misdeeds.
"I think people are tired of watching the abuses taking place in this area," Newman-Baker said Monday.
The NCAA's probe in Chapel Hill could be particularly explosive. Investigators last week interviewed several of the Tar Heels' high-profile draft prospects, most notably star defensive lineman Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little. The NCAA also interviewed South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders, who is friends with several of the UNC players. A source told The State in Columbia, S.C., that investigators were looking into whether agents paid for the airfare and hotel rooms for recent trips taken by Saunders and North Carolina players. At least one of those trips was a Memorial Day weekend jaunt to South Beach, which Austin tweeted about.
Unlike the Bush scandal, which came to light only after he'd left USC -- and only then because the whistle-blower (Lloyd Lake) wasn't a certified agent with a reputation to protect -- active athletes are required to cooperate with NCAA investigators. The players interviewed were presumably required to produce documentation for their expenses. If a player is deemed to have received extra benefits -- or if he intentionally misleads investigators (like Oklahoma State's Dez Bryant last season) -- he could be suspended for part or all of the coming season.
Obviously, tales of crooked agents inducing potential clients with cash, cars or other inducements is hardly a new thing. There's no telling how many players over the years competed despite having violated NCAA eligibility rules. However, because the agents usually use "runners" to do their dirty work and take care to avoid leaving paper trails, their crimes are often difficult to prove. And the NCAA's enforcement division is woefully understaffed.
To that end, the advent of social media -- and the inevitable penchant of some young athletes to post incriminating messages or pictures to their Facebook or Twitter accounts -- has been a boon to investigators.
"We're a public society now," said Newman-Baker. "People are much more willing to put more info out there for all to see. That has definitely has had an effect on enforcement."
It's believed that the NCAA's investigation into UNC began when someone alerted the agency to Austin's tweets from Miami, which mentioned "bottles comin' like it's a giveaway" at LIV, a trendy night club at the South Beach resort Fontainbleau.
At no point, however, did Austin mention the names of any agent or runner, which means the NCAA must have connected some dots before descending on Chapel Hill. This could be a sign that its agent division -- which is just 10 years old -- is becoming savvier to the ways in which that industry works.
"In the last couple of years, we've been able to build some cases ... due to several years of networking and gaining trust, whether it's working with the pro [leagues], agents, coaches or former players," she said. "If people trust things will be done with the information if they share it, you're going to be able to turn over more rocks."
It would certainly help the NCAA's cause if other purported oversight agencies begin taking the issue of corrupt agents more seriously.
The NFL Players Association, which controls agent certification, is rarely proactive in investigating agents, and that doesn't figure to change with an impending lockout on its agenda. However, 38 states have laws on their books governing the activities of sports agents, and one of the toughest is Florida, where the agent currently under investigation regarding Pouncey (who has not yet been identified) could face civil and criminal prosecution, including jail time.
It's been nearly 11 years since the last such major case, that of disgraced agent Tank Black, whose payments to several Gators players ultimately led to both state and federal trials against him on money laundering and other charges. He served seven years in jail.
There have been few such criminal cases since.
"If a player gets penalized or a school gets penalized, that does not dissuade an agent from continuing to pass on benefits," said Heitner, whose firm, Dynasty Athlete Representation, has no current football clients. "But I would assume if an agent goes to jail, you would see a pretty big change in the landscape.
"The people I've talked to are actually hoping that something does happen. Most agents adhere to ethical standards, but it's the few bad apples that give the profession a bad name."
With the start of preseason practices looming next month, an air of suspense and uncertainty suddenly hovers over North Carolina and South Carolina, two teams whose fans had been cautiously optimistic about potential breakthrough seasons but must now wait to see whether it might lose one or more key players.
Meanwhile, no program with high-profile draft prospects can breathe easily amid the current environment, where new rumors are percolating daily -- and one regrettable tweet can send investigators scurrying to your campus.

Saints Third Through First Day of Matt Dyas Invite
CARROLTON, Ga. – The North Georgia College & State University men's golf team started off the final tournament of their fall slate with a strong performance despite battling high winds and low temperatures.

Halifax Explosion -- December 6, 1917
During the First World War, Halifax harbour was crowded with wartime shipping traffic. On December 6, 1917, a Norwegian ship, the Imo, collided with a French munitions ship, the Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc caught fire and, about twenty minutes later, exploded. The explosion was the greatest known man-made explosion until the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945.
The Imo, behind schedule, rushed out of the Bedford Basin, bound for Belgium, while the Mont Blanc entered the harbour. At the entrance to The Narrows (the narrowest part of Halifax Harbour), after a series of ill-judged manoeuvres, the Imo struck the Mont Blanc. It was about 8:45 a.m. Fire immediately broke out on the Mont Blanc, which was fully loaded with explosives. The ship drifted and came to rest against a pier located in the north end of Halifax. Unaware of the danger, many people gathered to watch the burning ship.
Just before 9:05 a.m., the Mont Blanc exploded. Many churches, houses, schools, factories, docks and ships were destroyed in the initial blast. Fragments rained on the surrounding area. As debris landed on hot cooking stoves and furnaces, fires broke out throughout the city. A large wave, caused by the blast, ravaged the shoreline. By nightfall, a vicious snowstorm set in and continued into the next day. By the time the whole ordeal came to an end, there were more than 1,900 people dead, 9,000 injured, hundreds blinded by flying glass and thousands homeless.
Survivors quickly formed rescue crews. Hospitals and shelters were soon overcrowded. Word went out to the surrounding areas. Help poured in from all over Canada and many parts of the world, especially Massachusetts.
As a result of the tragedy, medical treatment, social welfare, public health and hospital facilities increased and improved. Regulations relating to the harbour were tightened. Many gravestones, artifacts and monuments in Halifax and Dartmouth are reminders of the explosion. The Memorial Bell Tower, built in 1985 on Fort Needham in the neighbourhood hardest hit by the explosion, is rung every December 6th at 9 a.m. in memory of the victims.

I am placing text within a text frame on the header of my master page. Once I have the text centered and aligned within the text frame in the design screen and go to the preview screen the text displays as skewed to one side (usually to the left). In order to have the text centered within the frame on my published site I had to skew it off center in design mode. See the 'modern kids clothing' text box at the top of my site www.kikikidswear.com
Is there something I am doing wrong?
I've also noticed that when I view my published site on a wide screen monitor other text gets skewed such as the words 'kids wear' on the header and the copyright info in the bottom right of my footer.
Hi Ddelano,
We have checked the link and it looks all fine to me. Please provide us with the screen shot of what you see in the Design View vs the Preview vs the Browser. Also, provide us with the browser name that you are checking on and the version.
Hi Abhishek. Here are the screen shots. These aren't exactly what was used to upload my site as I've played around in Muse trying to figure this out but you can see what the issue is I think by comparing the design view and the preview view. In order to get the text to display as centered (relatively centered in this example) in preview or when previewed in a browser I've had to skew the text fairly far to the right of the text box in design mode. I generally preview in IE explorer 8 on Windows XP although I do also preview the website in other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari). The text alignment has not been an issue between browsers although I notice the KIKI logo text in browsers other than IE is slightly jagged on the letter K.
Apparently the shift you are referring to is happening because of the letter spacing. There is spacing being added to the right of the "g " causing the slight shift.
Try highlighting the last letter of the text ("g") and setting letter spacing to 0.
Message was edited by: Colby Ausen
I tried your suggestion but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I used the letter space tool on the text panel to reduce the spacing to 0 then checked to ensure I had no spaces before or after my text or extra spaces between words. I aligned the text to centre then used the letter space tool to stretch out my text to how I wanted it to look within the text frame. It looked good in design mode but when previewed in Muse or in a browser the text was as before skewed to the left side of the text frame.
Try highlighting the last letter ("g") and setting the letter spacing to 0.
Thanks Colby. That was exactly the problem.

'Aunt Jemima': Racial slur or good luck cheer?
By Judy Masterson firstname.lastname@example.com January 24, 2013 8:24PM
Chantel Cherry, 13, at their home in North Chicago. Chantel plays basketball on the Neal Math and Science Academy team and was the subject of a racial slur when playing a team from Lake Forest. | Thomas Delany Jr.~Sun-Times Media

Updated: March 26, 2013 2:25AM
NORTH CHICAGO — What's in a word?
Or, in this case, two? Depending on what side of the gym you were on, the words "Aunt Jemima" were either part of a movational phrase or an epithet.
The drama unfolded last week in a basketball tournament in a Highland Park gym when the Neal Middle School girl's team was losing to their opponents from Deer Path Middle School.
As a Deer Path player prepared to shoot a free throw, according to witnesses, her teammate from the Deer Path bench shouted: "You've got Aunt Jemima."
Abelina Salinas of North Chicago said the remark was offensive and directed at her daughter, Neal seventh-grader Chantel Cherry, who plays forward on the team and was poised for a rebound.
The name 'Aunt Jemima' is a racial slur,'" said Jennifer Witherspoon, local NAACP president. "It stems from slavery, from the days of Jim Crow. It's difficult to believe that it's still being used by anyone, let alone a seventh-grade girl."
However, Aunt Jemima is also a century-old corporate brand for products including syrup, pancake and corn muffin mix (see www.auntjemima.com). The modern depiction of Aunt Jemima is more akin to an African-American Betty Crocker, whereas previous stereotypical incarnations have been deemed offensive by civil rights groups.
The Jan. 17 incident has gained the attention of the NAACP Lake County Branch, whose officers discussed the incident at their regular meeting Tuesday on how to weigh in on the matter.
Neal Coach Troy Franklin said that after the remark, time seemed to freeze. "My girls were looking at me like, 'What are you going to do?'" Franklin said. "They know what 'Aunt Jemima' means."
Deer Path Principal Renee DeVore said that after conducting a thorough investigation and interviewing the team, it was learned that the "Aunt Jemima" comment was directed at a fellow Deer Path team member, not at Chantel or any other Neal player.
DeVore said the Deer Path coach explained the connotation to the name, which the girls said they adopted as a good luck wish during a week-long overnight basketball academy where they were served pancakes every morning. If the girls miss a shot, they use another phrase — "bacon and eggs" — DeVore said.
Witherspoon said she is working with interim North Chicago schools Superintendent Ben Martindale in seeking redress from Deer Path School or its umbrella district. The NAACP is asking for an in-person apology, a written apology and sensitivity training for the Deer Path team.
"We'd also like that coach removed," Witherspoon said.
Martindale did not return calls seeking comment.
Franklin, who said that several Deer Path parents and players approached him to apologize, briefly discussed the matter with the Deer Path coach as his girls boarded the bus to go home.
"He said it was just a way of saying good luck," said Franklin. "That insulted my intelligence."
Salinas, who said she was sitting close to the players in the small gym, said she was "flabbergasted" by the explanation.
"Good luck. Really? That's the best they could come up with?"
Witherspoon said that Deer Path had recently forfeited several games scheduled to be held at Neal suggesting, she said, a pattern of racial intolerance. Deer Path is a mostly white school. Neal students are black and Latino.
"There have been situations regarding the forfeitures that are not intentional," DeVore said, adding that she had discussed the situation with the principal at Neal.
DeVore acknowledged that the Deer Path team's good luck phrase was "culturally offensive on many levels and not excusable."
"The girls felt really bad about it," she said.
Chantel said she'll accept an apology. "What was said, was said," she said.
The two teams will have a chance to patch things over when members of the Deer Path team visit Neal on Monday to apologize in person. DeVore said the Deer Path team, which won the game, plans to treat the Neal team to pizza and cupcakes.

New York, NY, United Kingdom – December 21, 2013 /MarketersMedia/ —
In this economy, many individuals are considering refinancing or remortgaging their homes to sustain their standard of living through the hard times.

The Mortgage Payment Calculator is free to download direct from the website or from major resource hubs like CNET and Softpedia, and can be installed and used within minutes. The software is lightweight on a computer's resources and includes a wide variety of input options to ensure the answers it gives are as accurate as possible.
Users enter their credit standing, the purpose of the loan, the amount, interest rate and loan term together with variables including property tax, home value and PMI to determine everything from the monthly payment amount to the total amount of PMI paid and more, to give users a full portrait of what the loan really means for them.
A spokesperson for Media Freeware explained, "The mortgage calculator has been designed to take into account everything that companies tell customers about their loan as well as the information the customer supplies the company in order to identify the true cost of the loan while remaining straight forward in its user interface and clear in its breakdown of the results. The calculator can help individuals determine the difference between a monthly vs bi-weekly payment plan as well as project the payoff date and total interest paid, so users are fully informed before committing to a loan."
