Are you like us when you return from vacations? Do you come home to a house full of no food whatsoever? Well, that is exactly how we felt last week when we returned from our spring break getaway. I made sure to use up any perishable meat before we left and we were down to the bare bones. The problem is, as soon as we got back I became sick and there was no heading to the grocery store for days. I decided it was time to take a second look at the cupboards to see just what we had and get creative. I learned a few lessons along the way and even resurrected a family favorite recipe or two.
The Power of Eggs
I have said it before and I will say it again, eggs are our favorite go to food for so many reasons. Everyone loves them and you can easily make them into breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner with little to no effort. Even if you are truly behind on items in your cupboard you could always JUST have eggs. Because they are a great source of protein we generally have eggs at least once a week. A quick test to make sure your eggs are still good is to put them in a pot of water. If they rise to the top then you know you need to throw them out.
Spices and Breadcrumbs
These are two items you will frequently find in our cabinet. When you think about them separately, they really do not make much of a meal. But combine them with chicken, ground meat, canned beans or vegetables and you have an appetizer or maybe even an entree!
Pasta Noodles
If you have kids then you know the power of noodles. They cook up to a soft texture that kids generally like, pasta stores well and you can add different ingredients to make several different dishes. We always have pasta in the cabinet and the boys enjoy homemade Mac and Cheese quite frequently.
Need a little motivation? We saved on a weeks' worth of groceries just by using what we had on hand! Here are two of our favorite "clean out your cupboard" brunch recipes that could really be served any time of day to get you started:
Easy Cheesy Omelette Bites
Easy Homemade Mac and Cheese
People love breakfast any time of day, which is why these Easy Cheesy Omelette Appetizer Bites will go over big at your next party.

- Revamped my personal web site over at "Bhaskervk.com"
- Added a new comic series : Screenshots, by Bosky (thnx sagaro for the trackback)
- Reading up on a few interesting mailing lists over at flex_india google group, hdiidc , and barcamp_Bangalore (both yahoo groups) .
- Reading up on a lot of interesting indian techie's blogs. (speaking of which , it would be great to be able to have a sumup of indian geek's blog posts)
- Contemplating on lot of ideas on, ways to improve the Returnable project, reading up the parse trees while i'm half way through compiling x to y , whats next for startups, learning and the idea of higher education abroad, and the future... hmmm
I also added a little comic strip called 'screenshots', for all the vetti time that i have on my hands. Plus its a great outlet for some artisitc creativity. check it out some time. The image you see at the top of this post ,is the independence day special (#5) .
Having just completed working on a vector-graphic product myself, i found the thread on the flex india user group about 2d,3d advancements in flex particularly interesting. Check out thus awesome demo of second-life like capabilities within flex by a company called outsmart and you'll know what i'm talking about.
If you find this interesting, you will definitely find the stuff over at Aviary, compelling - though it does a little over ambitious.More than 14 online tools of varying complexity: an image editor, color swatch generator, pattern generator, vector-based editor, 3D modeler, audio editor, music generator, video editor, desktop publishing tool, word processor, painting simulator, custom image product creator, photo analyzer, and file system to store it all on. phew ! Check out their well updated and informative blog as well.
Google, btw has been talking about a special gift for india, celebrating it's i-day. wonder if it has anything to do with a mapping /google earth related.
Coming to Returnable, i've seen a couple of similiar prototpes springing up . First i saw a israeli startup called koncara getting its second round of funding with in-text advertising. Returnable can do this, but now just ads but also in-text content on tooltips at different events .Secondly, the purple -include library profiled by ajaxian. While they have used src,and dont have support for events, returnable supports the three events : onhover,onclick and onload. Moreover, Returnable uses the href (forward compatible for all elements in the next version of xhtml5) and users can get the content either in-text OR as a tooltip ! PVS, my c0-developer at Returnable, even managed to get a returnable element tooltip inside the title of a blogger post !
I'm glad the Returnable Project, has taken a lead in this pioneering end-user programming methodology ,in using their inherent knowledge of URL's to expose a simnple HTML api to spawn intuitive behaviour on the web. Check out more on The Returnable Project , and the project site for more information.
So many things to read & write about , so little time ! btw, does anyone know of any good blogs to get lil tidbits like what ive posted above ? I'd love to check them out ! 8 )

Whether we like it or not, our mothers are the voice in our head—murmuring that a skirt is just a little too short, that no matter how tired we are, we really should wash our face before bed, that we must embrace—not pick apart—what we see in the mirror. Mom was, after all, the first one who told us we were beautiful (and made us wear sunscreen long before we knew what was good for us). In honor of Mother's Day, we asked celebrities and beauty experts to share the most important lessons their mothers taught them about beauty.
"Everything was about blush all the time. Before I'd leave the house, my mom would always say, You need more blush.' Now I have this thing about blush—I always feel like I don't have enough color on my cheeks." —Jillian Dempsey, makeup artist
"My mom was a hairdresser when I was growing up, and she loved experimenting. She taught me that trying new things could be fun, whether it was dyeing my hair or chopping bangs. When you change your look, sometimes you stand a little taller. She also taught me to hold my head up high and make eye contact with everyone I meet. People will feel that energy and be drawn to you." —Heidi Klum, model and host of Project Runway
"I love my mother, but it was the '70s, and she sat outside with a sun reflector. So I sort of learned what not to do by watching her. But she is lovely, and she did tell me not to dress like a whore." —Julie Bowen, actress
"My mother and I were very close. She died when I was 17. She was diagnosed with cancer when I was two, and they gave her six months to live. But she lived for 15 years, so we had 15 years of pure, seize-the-day, don't-let-any-moment-pass time together, and she taught me a hell of a lot. She taught me how to walk in Chanel pumps in fourth grade. She didn't know how long she would live, and she wanted to make sure I knew all the important things. She said to me, OK, I'm going to break the news to you. You're never going to grow over five feet tall, so you better learn how to walk in heels now, because you're going to be living in them your whole life.' So while everybody else was outside playing tag and hide-and-seek, I was doing drills in five-inch pumps, up and down my stairs. To this day, I can outrun any drag queen in platforms on a cobblestone street, no problem." —Mally Roncal, makeup artist and founder of Mally Beauty
"Being who you truly want to be—who you truly are—is one of the most important things my mother taught me. I wanted to be a skateboarder when I was 13. Didn't know how to skateboard, but my mom let me wear a wallet chain and hold a skateboard under my arm and walk around like an idiot because that's what I wanted to do." —Kelly Osbourne, TV host
"The most important thing she taught me was to never want to look like someone else or be someone else. She was a ballerina, and she made me dance, and if I danced in a certain style or copied a specific person, she would tell me to dance like myself. She felt that if you knew how to own and respect what you're given naturally, there's nothing more beautiful." —Tracy Anderson, founder of Tracy Anderson Method studios
"I learned that you should just be natural. We're a very soap-and-water sort of family all the way. My mom is gorgeous, but it was always about how you carried yourself, how you felt about yourself." —Rosario Dawson, actress
"I had bad acne as a teen, and my mother took it seriously. She brought me to a dermatologist, just like her mother had done for her. A lot of my friends didn't go because their parents thought, Oh, it's just pimples; suck it up. But it can really affect your self-esteem." —Amy Wechsler, dermatologist
"My mother was a feminist. She would have slapped you if you said she was pretty. And she was pretty, but she wasn't very much into looks or anything like that. She taught me about the mind and the meaning of life. I learned about being a strong woman, and I think that's more beautiful to me." —Julie Delpy, writer and actress
"My mother's biggest thing was Keep it simple.' She had beautiful, dewy skin, and she would accent it with just black eyeliner and mascara. Even now, she's 60 and I'm 40, and she gets all the compliments." —Jeannia Robinette, makeup artist
"My mother taught me that neutrals work best. She loved a no-makeup look but was flawless. She taught me how to do my eyes with brown eyeliner and black mascara. Her tips are so timeless that I still follow them today." —Aerin Lauder, founder of Aerin
"In the '90s, I copied Kate Moss's pencil-line eyebrows. When my mom saw them, she said, If you never listen to anything I tell you again, grow your eyebrows back in.' And I listened. Now that I'm in my 40s, I know there's nothing worse than an overplucked eyebrow as you get older. When I meet a model with great brows, I tell her, Hold on to every single one of those precious little hairs.'" —Kate Lee, makeup artist
"She used to say to me, Don't touch your skin around your face too much,' Eat the crusts of your bread or your hair will grow curly,' and Get to bed early so you don't have bags under your eyes.' But my mom was a psychologist, so it wasn't so much beauty tips as, Simone, where is this anger coming from? Let's get in touch with this anger.'" —Simone de la Rue, founder of Body by Simone
"Two things she told me that I still abide by: Always wash your face at night and use cider vinegar. At the time I thought she was a little nutty about vinegar, because she used it for everything. She would drink it—a teaspoon in water every day—and use it to clean the kitchen. It's a wonderful antimicrobial, but it also normalizes the pH of the skin. For years I got eczema, and I always used antibiotic creams, but one day she said, Why don't you put vinegar on that?' And I did, and it went away, and that's what I do now. It's a wonderful trick."
—Jane Iredale, founder of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics
"My mom's job took her to a lot of college campuses, and she had the opportunity to see all the college girls. At the time I was addicted to the Aussie-Sprunch-spray, two-sets-of-hot-rollers-and-a-perm look, and the best piece of advice she ever gave me was when she said, I'm telling you, all the college girls are wearing their hair straight.' And she helped me get a straightening iron and do it. I was like five years ahead of the curve." —Molly Sims, actress
"We're from Jamaica, and my mother taught me a few local tricks. She taught me that salt water keeps your skin acne-free. We soak a cotton ball in ocean water and wipe it all over our faces. At the end of the summer, we fill up bottles in the ocean to last us the winter. I have one in my refrigerator now, because every once in a while I do get a little acne, and it just sucks it out." —Sheril Bailey, manicurist
"We lived on a farm, so we always had goat's milk around. She would put it in my baths to help me with my eczema. I actually created a goat's-milk cream inspired by that." —Kate Somerville, aesthetician and founder of Kate Somerville Skin Care
"A smoky eye or a red lip, but never both at the same time!" —Catherine Malandrino, designer
"She always told me to smile with my eyes. I learned that by watching her. And what that meant to her—and now means to me—is: To feel beautiful is to be beautiful. If you felt good, and you felt confident, you could put that through your eyes in a picture. And that would be beautiful." —Josie Maran, model and founder of Josie Maran Cosmetics

Manchester Crimewatch: Woman accused of throwing steak knife at boyfriend
October 18. 2013 9:34PM
MANCHESTER — Christal Shaw, 27, of 416 Belmont St., protested a proposed $5,000 cash/surety bail on a felony charge of reckless conduct and a misdemeanor of simple assault at her arraignment Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division.
Shaw is accused of throwing a steak knife at her boyfriend as he sat in a chair and of throwing a bottle of water, hitting him in his midsection.
A police prosecutor said there is a 72-hour probation/parole hold on Shaw, who has several convictions including drug possession and stalking.
But Shaw told Judge William Lyons: "I've been out for a whole year." She said she's doing well, working two jobs to support her three children. She said her boyfriend doesn't work.
Lyons set bail at $3,000 cash/surety. A probable cause hearing on the felony was set for Oct. 30 and trial on the misdemeanor was set for Nov. 17.
Additional drug charges
Manchester Police officers who arrested Nathaniel Addo-Gyang, 33, of 26 Wellington Terrace Drive, Thursday on a New Hampshire State Police warrant for sale of a narcotic drug, reported Addo-Gyang was in possession of several prescription pills of acetaminophen and codeine.
Because he had no prescription for the pills, police charged Addo-Gyang with possession of a controlled drug.
Addo-Gyang was shot multiple times in a retaliation incident March 11, 2006, as he sat in a vehicle in an Amory Street parking lot. The two men convicted of shooting Addo-Gyang and a young man who was not involved in the dispute, are serving lengthy prison terms. Anthony White, who was partially paralyzed when hit by a bullet, died six years after the shooting at age 26.
K-9 located syringe
Police said Amber Blackman, 22, of 274 Douglas St., tossed a syringe into the bushes when she saw Officer Scott Ardita approaching on patrol Thursday afternoon on Queen City Avenue, west of South Willow Street.
Ardita, who had noticed the women, who were on foot, as they emerged from a fenced-in area near the railroad tracks, identified Blackman as the person who had tossed the item.
With the assistance of his K-9 Lou, Ardita was able to locate a white syringe containing a small amount of suspected heroin. Blackman was charged with felonies of possession of a narcotic and falsifying physical evidence. She was also held on a probation violation.
Blackman could enter no plea to the felonies Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division.
Police prosecutor Lt. Peter Favreau requested $5,000 cash/surety bail for Blackman, saying her record includes assault, stalking, driving while intoxicated, theft by unauthorized taking and several drug convictions.
Blackman asked Judge William Lyons to set personal recognizance bail, so she could begin serving a sentence in Merrimack County. Lyons set bail at the $5,000 requested by Favreau. A probable cause hearing on the felonies was set for Oct. 25.
Home-grown marijuana
Police investigating a report of marijuana being grown in an apartment at 24 Donald St. said they found 15 suspected marijuana plants growing under lights in a dining room closet, marijuana seeds, about 116 grams of suspect marijuana, scales, currency and a loaded 12-gauge shotgun in the apartment of Adam Browning.
All the items were seized and Brown, 28, was charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled drug-cultivation of marijuana, and felonious use of a firearm.
Arrested for prostitution
Sara Douglas, 31, of 372 Manchester St., pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to misdemeanor charges of prostitution and contempt of court. The contempt charge was filed because Douglas was out on personal recognizance bail on an earlier prostitution charge that is scheduled for trial Nov. 6.
Douglas is also under the umbrella of a suspended sentence on a Nov. 8, 2012, prostitution conviction. Judge William Lyons set bail at the $2,000 cash/surety requested by a police prosecutor. A status hearing on the new charge was set for Nov. 6.
Douglas was arrested Thursday night by Manchester Police Street Crime Unit officers who observed her engaged in suspected prostitution activity in the area of Union and Manchester streets. Police said Douglas got into the passenger seat of a vehicle and the officers followed the vehicle to Manchester and Hall streets, where it parked.
Police said when officers approached the vehicle on foot, they observed the man and woman engaged in sexual contact. Douglas and Thomas Come, 25, of 49 River Road, Allenstown, were arrested and charged with prostitution after police learned Come had paid Douglas money for sexual contact.
Wheels for burglary
Police said Tori Loranger, 24, of 19 Ivywood Lane, provided the vehicle for her boyfriend to burglarize a Maynard Street residence and then sold a ring that she knew, or should have known, was stolen to Cash for Gold.
A probable cause hearing on the felony criminal liability to burglary charge was set for Oct. 30. Trial on the misdemeanors of receiving stolen property and theft by deception was set for Nov. 18.
Bail was set at $3,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring her from the Maynard Street burglary site and from Cash for Gold.

No. 6 Orange and Huskies collide in Big East brawl
Hartford, CT – For the last time in regular season play as Big East rivals the Syracuse Orange and the Connecticut Huskies will square off at the XL Center on Wednesday night.
Next season Syracuse will be making a move to the Atlantic Coast Conference, ending its 34-year tenure as one of the seven founding members of the Big East. The Orange are doing a solid job of leaving in style as coming into the game, Jim Boeheim's squad is 20-3 overall. In conference action Syracuse is 8-2 after a 77-58 rout of St. John's on Saturday. That conference record has the Orange sitting alone at the top of the league standings.
As for the Huskies, they are trying to build off a 78-67 win over Seton Hall this past Sunday. UConn has posted a solid 16-6 overall record in its first season under Kevin Ollie since the retirement of legendary head coach Jim Calhoun. The win against Seton Hall was the fourth in the last five games for the Huskies, who are 6-4 in league action, while posting 10 wins in 11 tries on their home floor.
Connecticut was also one of the seven schools that came together in 1979 to form the Big East. Such a historic rivalry has featured 90 previous meetings, of which Syracuse has won 54, including six of the last seven.
The Orange welcomed back sixth-man extraordinaire James Southerland from a lengthy absence against St. John's. Though Southerland looked a little out of sync to start, he ended up dropping in 13 points as four different players scored in double figures in the 19-point victory.
Getting back Southerland's contributions off the bench (13.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg) is a huge plus for the Big East's top scoring team (75.5 ppg), which had failed to score more than 72 points in its last eight games. Southerland joins the already talented squad that Boeheim puts out, led by top scorer Brandon Triche (14.6 ppg), Big East assist leader Michael Carter-Williams (12.4 ppg, 8.5 rpg) and versatile forward C.J. Fair (13.9 ppg, 7.2 rpg). Fair is the lead rebounder for the Orange, who are second in the conference on the boards (40.2 pg) and 12th in the country overall. Led by its patented zone, Syracuse is letting up just 58.7 points per game, holding teams to the fifth-lowest field goal percentage (.366) in the country.
UConn went into halftime trailing Seton Hall, 35-34 but then turned it on in the second half, shooting 56 percent from the field to coast to the 11-point win. The Huskies had a 21-6 edge in points from the free-throw line that proved crucial in the contest.
Shabazz Napier (17.2 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 4.3 apg) and Ryan Boatright (15.8 ppg, 4.4 apg) were yet again the power behind the Huskies' offensive efforts against Seton Hall. Napier dropped in 22 points to go with nine assists and Boatright added 20 points. The pair are also pesky on the defensive end, as they combine for 3.6 steals per game. Omar Calhoun (11.1 ppg) teams with them in the backcourt as an additional scoring option, while DeAndre Daniels (10.7 ppg) is the top contributor in a rather weak frontcourt. As a team, UConn is scoring 71.2 points per game and shooting just under 45 percent from the field. However, the lack of size up front has kept the Huskies to the second worst rebounding average among Big East squads (32.5 pg).

To my mild surprise, during the past few months the Washington Post editorial board has weighed in forcefully on the side of taking military action to overthrow Saddam Hussein. We have posted a number of these pieces. The Post's liberal readers are not amused, however, as is clear from this editorial in which the Post defends itself against charges by readers that it is leading "a jingoistic rush to war." A less pompous newspaper might have brushed off this ridiculous charge in two paragraphs. The Post feels the need to dedicate its entire editorial page, which usually carries three different pieces, to responding. The product, though, is another solid effort, one that will no doubt further disappoint or enrage the majority of the paper's subscribers.

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
Nancy Gosselin-Connell,
v. Docket No. CR-07-164
State Board of Retirement,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Charles R. Casartello, Jr., Esq.
Pellegrini, Seeley, Ryan & Blakesley, P.C.
1145 Main Street
Springfield, MA 01103-0005
Appearance for Respondent:
Erin C. Nally, Esq.
State Board of Retirement
One Ashburton Place, 12th Floor
Boston, MA 02108
Administrative Magistrate:
Sarah H. Luick, Esq.
Pursuant to G. L. c. 32, § 16(4), the Petitioner, Nancy Gosselin-Connell, is appealing the February 22, 2007 decision of the Respondent, State Board of Retirement, denying her request for accidental disability retirement benefits. (Ex. 2) The appeal was timely filed. (Ex. 1) A hearing was held March 6, 2008 at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA), 98 North Washington Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, pursuant to G. L. c. 7, § 4H.
Various documents are in evidence. (Exs. 1 - 16) One tape was used. The Petitioner testified. Both parties made arguments on the record.
1. Nancy Gosselin-Connell, d.o.b. 10/28/48, started working as a Maintainer I in the Housing/Operations Department at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, in September 1997. ("A". Exs. 3 & 5. Testimony.)
2. As a Maintainer I, Ms. Gosselin-Connell's duties involved "general janitorial duties in connection with the cleaning and maintenance of a building or of an assigned area within a building or group of buildings." Tasks included removing "trash and waste from assigned areas and places outside the building at designated sites." She washed waste receptacles and cleaned bathrooms including disinfecting toilets, sinks, showers and floor areas. She dusted and polished walls, ceilings, doors, furniture, and mirrors. She vacuumed, swept, mopped, and waxed floors using a large heavy buffing machine. She kept "exterior areas … clean by sweeping, raking, and shoveling." She had to do "simple general maintenance by replacing belts, tightening screws, cleaning of equipment, replacing light bulbs and fluorescent tubes." She had to move furniture.
(Ex. 6)
3. Ms. Gosselin-Connell worked 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Her first duty each morning was to haul away the trash in her assigned seventh and eighth floors of one of the high-rise dormitories. The trash was stored in toters kept in janitor closets. The toter could hold about 350 lbs., and was wide and about four to five feet high. Two toters could be stored in one closet. The toter had two back wheels, and there was a handle across the back. The toter had an attached hood. There was a threshold or lip at the janitor closet door. The closet door would close automatically so that the door had to be held open while the toter was pulled over the lip and out of the closet. Ms. Gosselin-Connell did this work alone. She routinely moved five toters a day, replacing the full ones with empty ones. Once out of the janitor closet, she wheeled the toter into an elevator, and/or bumped it down stairs as needed to bring it to the outside of the building. The trash she collected from bathrooms, sixteen suites, a kitchen, and lounge-room in her assigned building was placed into a toter in the janitor closet. (Testimony)
4. Ms. Gosselin-Connell's job involved significant physical exertions on a regular basis including heavy lifting, pulling and pushing heavy objects like the full toters, and reaching and bending to scrub to clean in hard to reach areas. Using the motorized wax floor buffer involved extending her arms and using her upper body strength to guide it back and forth over the floor, while relying on her body mass to keep it under control. There is no permanent light duty Maintainer I position or assignment available to Ms. Gosselin-Connell. (Exs. 3 & 5. Testimony.)
5. On March 25, 2005, Ms. Gosselin-Connell was injured when she pulled on a full and heavy toter to get it over the lip of the closet. She kept the closet door open with her left hand. She is left handed. She pulled to move the toter forward with her right hand on the handle. At this point the toter was leaning forward and on its wheels. The toter became unsteady, so she held on to the toter to re-balance it so that it would not topple over. As she did this, she experienced a rip or tear feeling with pain in her right shoulder, upper back and right arm. (Exs. 3, 5 & 7. Testimony.)
6. Ms. Gosselin-Connell thought she had pulled a muscle. She continued working that day and the next day. About six months prior to March 25, 2005, she had experienced "some similar discomfort … low level and intermittent" that had resolved "fairly spontaneously." (Exs. 10. Testimony.)
7. When the pain symptoms persisted, Ms. Gosselin-Connell decided to seek medical help. She saw her family physician on March 29, 2005. She explained at her examination that she had lifted "a heavy bin about 350 lbs. over a floor lip" when she was hurt. She was prescribed physical therapy. (Ex. 10. Testimony.) Her physical examination revealed:
Tenderness mostly to the right posterior neck into the
trapezius as well as to the anterior right shoulder just
above the axilla. ROM to shoulder is full though with
discomfort in all directions. Reflexes, strength, sensation
intact to upper and lower EXT. Neck, shoulder, low back
pain. (Ex. 10)
8. Ms. Gosselin-Connell stopped working and filed a notice of injury form about the March 25, 2005 injury. She received workers' compensation. (Exs. 3, 5 & 7. Testimony.)
9. The physical therapy treatments provided Ms. Gosselin-Connell with "only temporary relief of pain." She tried to return to work, but found she had persisting pain and stopped working again. She was referred to an orthopedist. (Exs. 10, 11 & 13. Testimony.)
10. Ms. Gosselin-Connell was evaluated by Dr. Henry Drinker, an orthopedist, on May 3, 2005. She reported to Dr. Drinker that her pain started after "pulling tote bins out of the trash room." Dr. Drinker had right shoulder x-rays taken that showed "a very lobulated, but discrete deposit of calcium in the rotator cuff at the musculo-teninous junction … [with the] films … otherwise normal except showing a Type III acromion." Dr. Drinker opined she had "bursitis and calcific tendinitis of the shoulder." He gave her a lidocaine injection on May 17, 2005, and opined that the source of her pain symptoms was "in the subacromial space because of her response to the injection." He prescribed "physical therapy to learn a home exercise program." (Exs. 11 & 12.)
11. Ms. Gosselin-Connell was evaluated by Dr. Bernard E. Rerri, an orthopedist, on May 24, 2005. By then, she had undergone physical therapy neck traction and had taken anti-inflammatory medication. Dr. Rerri understood her injury was from "pulling out trays" while performing her janitor work. She complained to Dr. Rerri of constant pain that gets "worse with prolonged standing and walking and … in the morning and … when extending her neck." Dr. Rerri opined she had calcific rotator cuff tendinitis. He found her able to do only light duty work. He recommended continuing physical therapy. (Exs. 8, 11 & 14.)
12. At a July 18, 2005 evaluation with Dr. Rerri, Ms. Gosselin-Connell complained of neck pain, right shoulder pain, and pain "radiating into her right axilla." Dr. Rerri found "no neurologic deficits … in her upper or lower extremities," but he found "mild impingement in her right shoulder." By cervical spine x-rays, she had "mild spondylosis at C5-6 consistent with her complaints." He recommended "a trial of home cervical traction," and continuing physical therapy. (Exs. 11 & 14.)
13. At an August 16, 2005 evaluation, Dr. Rerri addressed the neck symptoms and opined Ms. Gosselin-Connell should have "a work rehabilitation program that will prepare her for reintegration into her employment … [S]urgery … [is] not required for her type of neck problem." At a September 30, 2005 evaluation, Dr. Rerri recommended a cervical spine MRI, but approved a "return to work on 10/5/05 starting with light duty and lifting less than 20 lbs. of weight." Her employer could not provide this job modification. (Exs. 5 & 14.) The November 3, 2005 cervical spine MRI revealed:
Degenerative disc disease with spondylosis causing central
canal stenosis at the C5-6 level. No focal disc herniation …. Borderline Grade I C4-5 sponylolisthesis.
(Ex. 14)
14. Dr. Rerri reviewed the MRI and concluded the findings were "consistent with her complaints." He opined Ms. Gosselin-Connell "has cervical spondylosis with discophyte and mild cord compression." He recommended "cervical epidural steroids and a repeat right shoulder injection … in addition to her other supportive treatments." He found her able to only undertake light duty work. (Ex. 14)
15. In January 2006, Ms. Gosselin-Connell had a right shoulder cortisone injection and a cervical epidural injection. Dr. Rerri opined she had "gotten to the point where it is clear she cannot return to her previous position." (Ex. 14)
16. Ms. Gosselin-Connell was evaluated for purposes of workers' compensation by Dr. Marc A. Linson, an orthopedist, on April 12, 2006. He understood she "was injured … pulling toters out of a trash room." Dr. Linson opined she "injured her neck, right shoulder and arm" on March 25, 2005. He diagnosed, "cervical degenerative arthritis, cervical stenosis, cervical radiculitis and calcific tendonitis of the right shoulder." He concluded these conditions "to some extent … preceded her work injury but were aggravated and symptoms precipitated by the work injury." He found this injury was "a major causal factor in her impairment, disability and symptoms." He found her able to perform work that did not involve "significant lifting," and that involved "minimal use of the right upper extremity," including "clerical or office work." He recommended "additional injections and/or surgery of various types on her shoulder or neck." (Ex. 15)
17. Ms. Gosselin-Connell sought accidental disability retirement benefits in April 2006 based on the March 25, 2005 injury. Dr. Rerri supported her claim. He concluded that despite all her treatments, she had experienced only "limited" improvement, "leaving her with significant disability restricting her daily activities including the ability to return to her pre-injury work." He opined the "main disability is from the cervical radiculopathy." In terms of further treatments for this condition, he noted surgery "is difficult and unpredictable, and frequently still leaves behind residual pain and disability." (Exs. 3 & 4.)
18. Ms. Gosselin-Connell's employer concluded she could no longer move or lift or wash or keep clean the "large trash containers" and was unable to carry out the essential duties of her Maintainer I work involving significant physical strength. (Ex. 5)
19. A Medical Panel was convened on November 17, 2006 with Drs. Victor A. Conforti and Steven A. Silver, both orthpedists, and with Dr. St. Jepan Kereshi, a neurologist. The Panel physicians were unanimous in finding no disability. (Ex. 9)
20. The Panel physicians understood Mr. Gosselin-Connell "worked as a Maintainer I employee or janitor." They understood she suffered an injury at work on March 25, 2005 "while pulling trays out of a trash can." They understood she hurt "her right shoulder and her neck." They were aware that she had "four to six weeks" of physical therapy, and shoulder and cervical spine injections "with some benefit." The Panel physicians understood that her current symptoms included "some neck pain and some shoulder pain" for which she "uses Advil occasionally." The Panel physicians understood that she experiences "some tingling … into the index and long finger on an intermittent basis … [and] occasional headaches." They reviewed the cervical spine MRI and found it showed, "some degenerative changes at C5-C6 … consistent with the available records." The Panel physicians gave a physical examination that was "limited to her neck and her right shoulder area." (Exs. 8 & 9. Testimony.)
21. The Panel physicians did not ask Ms. Gosselin-Connell how she was hurt at work. They had before them descriptions that what she was handling at work at the time was not a trash can but something heavier like a trash bin or toter, but they referred to what she moved as a trash can. These other descriptions came from the reports of Dr. Rerri, Dr. Linson, Dr. Drinker, and the Northampton Family Practice. They had information before them from the Statement of Employer form that she could not perform the heavy work tasks she was required to perform. (Exs. 8 & 9. Testimony.)
22. The Panel physicians diagnosed a cervical sprain and a right shoulder sprain "with mild tendonitis." They concluded Ms. Gosselin-Connell was "physically capable of performing the essential duties of her job as described in the current job description." They found "no objective findings" to support an incapacity. They found her prognosis to be "good." (Ex. 9)
23. On June 15, 2007, Ms. Gosselin-Connell's had right shoulder arthroscopy, debridement of the rotator cuff, arthroscopic decompression, and debridement of the anterior labrum due to her ongoing right shoulder condition. (Ex. 16)
Ms. Gosselin-Connell testified that the Medical Panel evaluation was minimal
with a limited physical examination, and that the Panel physicians did not question her about the particular duties she performed in her job as Maintainer I at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She testified that the Panel physicians did not ask her to describe what she was doing when she was injured on March 25, 2005. She argues the Medical Panel evaluation was flawed, because the Panel physicians failed to consider all pertinent medical and non-medical information before them. Malden Retirement Board v. Contributory Retirement Appeal Board (CRAB), 1 Mass.App.Ct. 420 ( 1973)
I conclude Ms. Gosselin-Connell is entitled to a new Medical Panel evaluation, because the Medical Panel failed to adequately consider the heavy work tasks that are part of the essential duties she performed as a Maintainer I. Their report shows they failed to provide an explanation of how she would be able to do heavy work in light of her complaints of painful and limiting neck and right shoulder conditions from the March 25, 2005 incident at work that her treating and evaluating physicians have recognized and have treated. Only the Medical Panel have found she had temporary strains from the incident and that she has recovered from them.
Ms. Gosselin-Connell's testimony was credible about how the March 25, 2005 incident occurred and about how heavy the unstable toter was. Her account of her persisting neck and shoulder symptoms was believable, and is supported by the fact that she underwent neck and shoulder injections for pain relief along with physical therapy treatments. Ms. Gosselin-Connell's testimony about the physically taxing aspects of some of the janitorial tasks she had to perform has also been recognized by her employer in the Statement of Employer form. Since the March 25, 2005 injury, the testing and treatment regimens Ms. Gosselin-Connell has undergone have included shoulder x-rays, a cervical spine MRI, physical therapy treatments, injections to the neck and shoulder, and after the Medical Panel, right shoulder surgery.
The Panel physicians assessed Ms. Gosselin-Connell's ability to work as a Maintainer I based on what they read in her job description, and based on finding the injury on March 25, 2005 was sustained while moving trays from a trash can. Yet, that information did not address with any specificity, the extent of physical exertion that she had to undertake when performing that routine task. Ms. Gosselin-Connell credibly explained that she was hurt moving not a trash can but moving a trash container toter, that was big, and become heavy to move when full. Ms. Gosselin-Connell credibly explained that she also had to use a heavy wax buffing machine on the floors that involved upper body strength by stretching out her arms to guide the motorized machine while keeping her balance. If the Panel physicians had asked her about her duties or about the kind of work she was doing when she was hurt on March 25, 2005, they would have learned about the particular level of physical strength involved in her required duties. The Panel physicians did not acknowledge that Ms. Gosselin-Connell's employer was not able to offer her any permanent light duty Maintainer I work; a recognition that her work included tasks involving significant physical exertion.
In terms of the medical evaluations, the Panel physicians found no significant objective findings to support a disability. Ms. Gosselin-Connell had pre-existing degenerative conditions such as shown by the cervical spine MRI, but the Panel physicians failed to address why the March 25, 2005 injury did not worsen or aggravate this pre-existing condition. The opinion of Dr. Linson points out the importance of considering an aggravation theory. Zavaglia v. CRAB, 345 Mass. 483 (1963) The fact that Ms. Gosselin-Connell has now had right shoulder surgery supports a determination that her right shoulder condition involved more than a sprain she had recovered from as the Panel physicians found.
The opinions of evaluating and treating physicians cannot take the place of the Medical Panel findings, but such opinions can be used to demonstrate the Medical Panel evaluation was improper. Wakefield Retirement Board v. CRAB, 352 Mass. 499 (1967) The opinions of the Dr. Rerri, a treating orthopedist, and of the evaluating orthopedic specialists, Drs. Drinker and Linson, detail why they found Ms. Gosselin-Connell continued to have neck and shoulder pain symptoms. Their evaluations support a determination that the Panel physicians did not adequately address all the pertinent medical information.
I conclude that the Medical Panel evaluation was improper because of a failure to consider all pertinent medical and non-medical facts. Malden, supra. I conclude the Medical Panel report does not adequately explain their finding of no disability in light of the physical strength Ms. Gosselin-Connell needs to perform the essential duties of her Maintainer I job. Kelley v. CRAB, 341 Mass. 611 (1961)
For these reasons, the case is remanded for the convening of a new Medical Panel. SO ORDERED.

After a total of 166 days in space, the lake area native NASA Astronaut Mike Hopkins has safely returned to Earth.
After a total of 166 days in space, lake area native NASA Astronaut Mike Hopkins has safely returned to Earth.
Hopkins launched into space on Sept. 26 and spent months on the International Space Station. Hopkins along with Expedition 38 Commander Oleg Kotov and Flight Engineer Sergey Ryazanskiy of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) undocked their Soyuz spacecraft from the station on March 10 at 8:02 p.m. EDT, heading for a landing in Kazakhstan, southeast of Dzhezkazgan at 11:24 p.m. (9:24 a.m. on March 11 local time in Dzhezkazgan).
Hopkins has been prepping for his return home during the last week. On March 3, he tweeted, "Checked out our Sokul suits today in preparation for returning to Earth next Monday. Can't believe it is almost time!"
His excitement was apparent when he again tweeted, "I've been in space for about 165 days. On day 166, I'm coming home," on March 9.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has been one that Hopkins has dreamt of since high school as he told students during a question and answer session recently. Students from his alma mater, School of the Osage, got the chance to ask him questions via Skype which he answered live from the International Space Station.
Hopkins experienced many unique things while in space including space walking and communicating with celebrities.
On March 1, country music artist Blake Shelton asked Hopkins via Twitter, "Hows my man @Astrolllini tonight?"
To which Hopkins replied, "Living the dream! 9 days to go before we close the hatch and head back to earth."
Hopkins was one of the two astronauts that participated in a space walk just days before Christmas. Hopkins documented their adventure on his Twitter feed.
"Wow... can't believe that is me yesterday. Wish I could find words to describe the experience, truly amazing," he posted with a photo.
He also enjoyed beautiful views from space that he documented during his time away from Earth. Photos of the Andes Mountains, Great Barrier Reef and even the Lake of the Ozarks flooded his Twitter feed.
When the crew undocked from the International Space Station, Expedition 39 formally began aboard the station under the command of Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the first Japanese commander of the complex. Wakata and his crewmates, NASA Flight Engineer Rick Mastracchio and Mikhail Tyurin of Roscosmos, will operate the station as a three-person crew for two weeks until the arrival of three new crew members, U.S. astronaut Steve Swanson and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev, who are scheduled to launch from Kazakhstan March 25.

Single mom in Fargo returns wallet with $1,000
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A single mother in Fargo says she hoped to set an example for her 7-year-old daughter when she returned a wallet containing $1,000 that the two found while running errands.
Sadie Hill and her daughter, Adalee, found the wallet Monday in a parking lot. Hill said she works two jobs to make ends meet and could have used the money, but knew the right thing to do.
"The only option was to return it," she said. "But, I called my mom and I said, 'You know, God is really testing me today.'"
Hill and her daughter found identification in the wallet and drove to J. Pat Wigginton's home to return it. He gave them a $20 reward but later wished he'd done more.
"Such appreciation for their honesty, and I didn't get their name," he said. "The mom did such a great job showing her daughter this is the right thing to do."
Wigginton was able to reconnect with them with the help of a WDAY-TV (http://bit.ly/1u6CZt1 ) story, and has now mailed Hill a $200 gift card for Adalee's back-to-school shopping as she prepares for first grade.

Hey everyone, lugiamania here with yet ANOTHER addition out of the left field for Crunchyroll's winter lineup!
This surprise title is none other than Little Busters!, and yes, we WILL be airing all previous episodes as well! The exact dates for the earlier 13 episodes are not yet confirmed, but we will be launching with episode 14 of Little Busters! this Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 6:00pm PST.
Little Busters! will be available to Crunchyroll's audience in the following territories: USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands & Scandinavia.
Based on a visual novel by Key, the studio behind other smash titles like Clannad, Air, and Kanon, Little Busters! features main character Riki Naoe, who was orphaned when his parents die. However, his depression is kept at bay with his group of childhood friends, who call themselves "Little Busters." The friendships and interactions of this group of friends is the main focus of Little Busters! as they go about their daily high school lives.
The cast features Yui Horie as Riki Naoe, best known for her roles in Fruits Basket as Toru Honda and Love Hina as Naru Narusegawa, with Hikaru Midorikawa of Gundam Wing's Heero Yuy fame, as the leader of gang, Kyousuke Natsume and Tomoe Tamiyasu, who also voiced Futami Moriyama in Recorder and Randsell, as his sister, Rin Natsume.
Whats up guys,
We're kicking off another fantastic day of new simulcasts to Crunchyroll with the addition of: AKB0048:next stage!
AKB0048:next stage! will first broadcast here on Crunchyroll starting on January 13, at 7:30 am Pacific Time for premium members in the following territories: U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, South and Central America. As usual, free members will get it one week later.
For those that missed the first season and wanted to know what the second season's all about:
"At the start of the 21st century, an interplanetary war broke out. Earth's ecosystem was severely damaged, and humanity was forced to flee the planet. On several planets of this new society, things that 'disturb the heart' like music and art are forbidden.
Before the people called 'Idols' fell into ruin, the legendary idol group AKB48 is resurrected as the interplanetary troupe AKB0048, made up of girls who carry on the title and spirit of the original members. Held as heroines by some and labeled as terrorists by others, they must take up arms to bring their music to their fans wherever they are."

The question is, it it anime? and what about your Catalog Titles?
Will this be one week behind, or will we get two episodes this weekend?
So awesome again, hope you get season one of akb0048 as a library title too! Thanks!
Is the first season the open slot in the catalog titles? But if so, why not announce both at once?
First season?
How awesome would it be if we got Tamako Market as the final Simulcast and K-ON! as the final catalog title?
hope we later get the first season of AKB0048 so that I can watch the second season that CR got
What even
And here is this season's "Didn't think they would get that" winner.
This would would also fall under the "Didn't think anyone would get that" category.
Given that they state free users will get the episodes one week later, I'm betting we start with 2 episodes. In recent seasons when there was a one week delaycast, CR typically eliminated the extra week's delay for free users.
Yes, that's my real age
Wow Crunchyroll is bagging everything this season
back online! add me and chat!
This gives me hope that we'll get the first season at some point as well.
Remember when CR got Nisemonogatari? That was before they got Bakemonogatari. AND in a news article about Aniplex releases, they even stated that there were no plans to stream Bakemonogatari.
However, we gave it a few more months...And now we have Nisemonogatari and Bakemonogatari.
I feel like this will happen with lots of multi-season titles. And my fingers are desperately crossed for Da Capo.

I assume you mean for the earlier series.
On the flipside, we have none of the earlier seasons of The Familiar of Zero.
If CR gets Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kaku Outbreak in the spring (and we know Funimation won't be competing for it), I don't think I'll be holding my breath that CR gets any of the earlier series, although it would certainly be nice if they did. I for one would at least like the chance to view Kai legally.
Yes, that's my real age
they probably will put up the first season but after the second season is finished remember dog days.

Yes, the earlier seasons.
And I mentioned Bake/Nisemonogatari specifically because Aniplex even released that there were no plans to digitally stream Bakemonogatari. But we eventually got it.
As for Zero no Tsukaima, I keep wanting to feel the hope that we will get the previous 3 seasons eventually. It just seems like it might be a little sticky with the licensing status first season.
Then again, Funimation has been bringing back a lot of out of print titles, like Shakugan no Shana. But the situation with ZnT is more than just being out of print....
And my goodness you brought up something good - Higurashi. I would die of happiness, right on the spot, if CR were to ever stream it.
I'm in the same boat - I want to watch Kai somewhere legally. And the OVAs. The first season is one of my absolute favorite anime, and I've been wanting to get the DVDs for a long time...I know this barely does anything, but I even contacted NISA and Sentai about a possible license.
After all, NIS did get Umineko recently. So I really think there is a glimmer of hope somewhere in the future for Higurashi. Just not on Funimation.

I see all of these beautifully quilted pieces and do not know how to obtain those results on my quilts. I have a Viking Diamond machine with a 14 in throat but cannot see where to go when I try to free hand leaves, flowers, scrolls or anything else. All I can manage to make look good is free motion meandering. What is the secret please?*

Because being ridiculously good looking, a cookbook author, Beyoncé's BFF, and a lifestyle mogul weren't enough for our fair Gwyneth, she's moving on to the beauty biz.
After launching a successful collaboration with British nail brand Butter London last year, Paltrow and her Goop empire have teamed up with them yet again for a new slew of Gwyneth-approved offerings. For this go round, you'll have three different polish trios to choose from — Starkers, The Stones, and Candy Coated — each comprised of three existing Butter London offerings. There's also a nail care set featuring the brand's Hardwear topcoat and "BB cream for your nails," otherwise known as Nail Foundation basecoat.
Prices range from $28 to $40, and the sets are all available now on Goop. Personally, we're waiting for the day when Gwyneth dreams up her very own shade, which leads us to the very, very deep query: If Gwyneth were a nail polish shade, which color would she be?

Ever stopped to ask for directions?
Now finding one's destination is becoming more and more difficult in Shelby County. The reason?
People are stealing road and street signs. They are disappearing every day, not just one at time, but in droves, officials say.
Road Supervisor Carl Henry brought up the issue last November, and at Tuesday's fiscal court meeting, magistrates expressed concern that the problem was not dissipating, but growing.
Six months after the murder of an Anderson County woman left her cats homeless in the care of her vet in Shelby County, the man wanted in connection with her death has been apprehended in Arizona.
A Kentucky State Police press release said Terrance Cram was taken into custody Wednesday in Goodyear, Ariz.
Cram, 49, had been indicted by an Anderson County Grand Jury on June 7, charging him with the murder of Tena McNeely, tampering with physical evidence and fraudulent use of a credit card.
The bad news is that the Simpsonville Fire Department had to trim its budget a bit, enough to merit cutting out a key position, that of administrative assistant.
The good news is that Fire Chief Walter Jones has found a solution to the problem.
He has stepped down as fire chief but will stay on as administrative assistant, a position that his wife, Kathy, had occupied.
In his place, Assistant Chief Ronnie Sowder will step up as part-time fire chief.
The case against a man who is in jail on rape and sex abuse charges against children has hit a slight snag, prosecutors say.
Charges of first-degree rape, three charges of first-degree sodomy and three charges of first-degree sexual abuse against Henry Telles, 25, of Shelbyville, have been dismissed without prejudice.
But that doesn't mean he's off the hook, Shelby County Commonwealth Attorney Laura Donnell said.
Donnell had to drop the charges against Telles so that he could be re-indicted.
he reason?
The Shelby County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying someone connected with a recent theft in the county.
Detectives have submitted two photos, one they are describing as "a person of interest," and the other photo is of the suspect's vehicle.
The theft occurred in the early morning hours of June 8 at the Tower Heights Subdivision, east of Shelbyville, and involved a theft from a vehicle.
A credit card was stolen and was used that same morning, mostly in the Frankfort area.
Information is being sought about a burglary at a residence last week in which several items were stolen.
On June 10, between noon and 2 p.m., someone broke into a home on the 1000 block of Summerfield Drive by forcing open the front door, police say.
The intruder stole camera equipment, jewelry, a laptop computer, a musical instrument, a coin collection and a handgun.
The thief also took the homeowner's military medals, awarded for service in Iraq, including a Bronze Star.

An Indiana man faced three years in prison on a felony firearms charge but pleaded guilty to three misdemeanors for illegally killing a whitetail deer in October.
Donald Ward, 47, of Brownsburg, Ind., received 178 days probation and 80 hours of community service as part of his plea agreement. A jail term of 178 days was suspended in exchange for his plea. He originally faced a felony weapons charge but that was dropped.
Ward illegally used a prohibited firearm outside of hunting season to kill a giant whitetail buck nicknamed "Nightmare" by locals. The .270 rifle was not permitted during the season that was open Oct. 2, when officials say he killed the deer about 5 a.m. from a road.
Ward lost his hunting and fishing privileges for a year, paid a $500 fine and also forfeited his rifle.

text: UPDATED: After autopsy, shooting death of Hinsdale man, 26, ruled a homicide BY MEGHAN PIERCEUnion Leader Correspondent October 30. 2013 5:31PM HINSDALE— The shooting death of a 26-year-old Marine from Hinsdale on Oct. 13 during what authorities said was a "family dispute" has been ruled a homicide. The Attorney General's Office announced Wednesday that an autopsy conducted two weeks ago on the body of Dustin Curtiss determined the cause of his death was gunshot wounds to the torso and upper extremities, the manner of his death was homicide. No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting and the state police investigation is ongoing, Geoffrey Ward, assistant attorney general said Wednesday. In the Wednesday press release, authorities said Curtiss was killed "during the course of an apparent family dispute that turned violent." In legal terms, homicide means someone's death was caused by another person. These preliminary autopsy results pertain to cause and manner of death, but do not reveal any drug or alcohol levels, Ward said. "We don't have a final autopsy report, which would generally, any autopsy, would include toxicology," Ward said. "We look forward to reviewing the completed final autopsy report." He would not say if there were any suspects, what type of gun had been used or if the weapon was recovered from the scene. Ward would not say how many family members were a part of the dispute. He would not say how much longer the investigation would take, but that investigators are working quickly and diligently to complete it. After the shooting, Curtiss was taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital in Vermont, and then transferred to UMass Medical Center in Worcester, Mass., where he was pronounced death. The autopsy was conducted by the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Oct. 15. More than 200 people attended funeral services for Curtiss, who was married and had a young daughter. He had recently left the Marines after serving for eight years, according to a family friend, who said Curtiss was a dedicated Marine who loved his family and many friends. email@example.com Public Safety Crime Hinsdale

The Dodgers have one player who's come up through the system in recent years to have plus-plus speed: Dee Gordon. While fast, he hasn't been able to get on base enough to make use of said speed.
There's no Billy Hamilton in this group of speed demons, but the Dodgers have a few intriguing jackrabbits in the farm system. But, like the diminishing elite speed in baseball, the Dodgers don't have that many speedsters. They might have some in the lowest level of the minors, but there isn't a lot of information on those players.
A couple guys who looked like, at one time, might be plus-runners were Brian Cavazos-Galvez and Rafael Ynoa. Cavazos-Galvez stole 43 bases in 2010 at Great Lakes. However, he's failed to top 17 stolen bases in any other season. Ynoa stole 40 bases on the same team as Cavazos-Galvez in 2010. His highest total since is 23, which he tallied in 2012.
This list is reserved for players with at least a "60" speed rating (on the 20-80 scale), which is plus speed.
Best speed prospects
James Baldwin
- Baldwin is the fastest runner in the system, with legitimate plus-plus speed. He's shown that speed in his 219-game career, swiping 92 bases (caught just 16 times). He does it as a center fielder, where his plus-plus speed allows him to track balls down that some center fielders couldn't dream of catching.
Noel Cuevas
- Cuevas is probably the "slowest" of the five on this list, but he still managed to steal 35 bases in 42 attempts in 2012. He has the speed and range to play center field -- where his bat would play best, but he'll likely end up in a corner, likely left field. Still, a left fielder with the range of a center fielder is never a bad thing.
Malcolm Holland
- Holland was a Boise State University commit as a defensive back in football before the Dodgers signed him away as a 33rd-round draft pick. Holland showed off that defensive back speed in his second season by stealing 44 bases (caught nine times) in 60 games for Ogden in 2012. Defensively, he profiles at either second base or center field. Obviously, his speed would benefit him much better in center, but that speed also allows him to range for balls at second better than others.
Yasiel Puig
- There have been varying reports about Puig's speed. I gave him a "55" in my Top 50 rankings. This was before DeJon Watson made this claim on local Los Angeles radio:
I'm told that DeJon Watson, on 570am tonight, said Yasiel Puig has been playing some CF in Puerto Rico and has "75 speed".Jason Parks of Baseball Prospectus also heard from a non-Dodger person that Puig has "7" (70) speed. So, he's either a slightly above-average runner, or he's a plus-plus runner. I'm inclined to believe it's somewhere in the 60-65 range. That's good enough to play center field, but Puig likely ends up in right field and could develop into a top-flight defender at the position with that speed.
— Mike Petriello (@mike_petriello) January 17, 2013
Darnell Sweeney
- Sweeney is easily the best runner from the Dodgers' 2012 draft class, and he showed it in his debut. Built a lot like Gordon, Sweeney stole 27 bases in 33 attempts in his debut season and easily has plus speed. He's not as fast as Gordon, but Sweeney is at least a "60" runner and could be a "65" runner going forward. At shortstop, he has a good range and a quick first step. He could be a dynamic leadoff-hitting shorstop if everything falls into place.

Eric Ben-Artzi, a former quantitative risk analyst for Deutsche Bank AG, alleged that Europe's biggest lender engaged in a multibillion-dollar securities violation. Deutsche Bank denied the allegation.
Ben-Artzi, who is suing the company for wrongful dismissal, told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that from 2007 to 2010 the bank misrepresented the value of a portfolio with a notional value of as much as $130 billion, Labaton Sucharow LLP, the New York-based law firm representing Ben-Artzi, said on its website yesterday.
"The valuations and financial reporting were proper, and a significant portion of these positions were subsequently unwound in an orderly sale," Renee Calabro, a spokeswoman for Deutsche Bank in New York, said in a statement. The claims were false, and the bank will continue to cooperate with the SEC's investigation, she said.
Deutsche Bank may have lost $12 billion from the collateralized insurance agreements, known as leveraged super senior (LSS) credit derivatives, should they have been valued properly, the Financial Times reported earlier. It cited estimates derived from comments by three former employees who testified to the SEC, including Ben-Artzi. Formerly of Goldman Sachs Group Inc, he joined the bank in 2010, the FT said.
John Nester, an SEC spokesman, declined to comment on the investigation, as did Ben Fischer, a spokesman for German financial markets regulator BaFin.
Deutsche Bank dropped as much as 2.2 percent in Frankfurt. The share fell 0.8 percent to 34.7 euros at 1:20 p.m., valuing the firm at 32.2 billion euros ($42 billion). The 28-company Euro Stoxx Bank Index rose 0.2 percent.
Public Image
Deutsche Bank failed to properly value a "gap option component" in the LSS portfolio between mid-2007 and 2010, Ben- Artzi said. The lender would have "substantially missed" earnings estimates even if it used conservative assumptions to properly value the instruments, according to the law firm.
"Deutsche Bank was the largest holder of LSS trades in the marketplace and by not correctly valuing it the bank was able to maintain its carefully crafted public image that it was weathering the financial crisis better than its peers," the law firm said.
Deutsche Bank has navigated the financial crisis sparked by the 2007 meltdown of the U.S. housing market without direct state aid.
Ben-Artzi, who has a doctorate in mathematics from New York University, sought to resolve his concerns internally before seeking legal representation and reporting the possible violations to the SEC whistle-blower program, Labaton Sucharow said. He "was subject to severe hostility, denied access to records" and was fired in November 2011 despite favorable performance reviews, it said.
'Wholly Unfounded'
"The allegations of financial misstatements, which are more than 2 1/2 years-old and were publicly reported in June 2011, have been the subject of a careful and thorough investigation, and they are wholly unfounded," Calabro, the Deutsche Bank spokeswoman, said. "Moreover, the investigation revealed that these allegations stem from people without personal knowledge of, or responsibility for, key facts and information."
In June 2011, Reuters news wire reported that a whistleblower action had been filed against Deutsche Bank for improper valuation of the derivatives. The SEC opened an inquiry, and Deutsche Bank settled the case with trader Matthew Simpson in January of that year, it said.
Deutsche Bank wound down and allowed its high-risk credit portfolio to mature at an "insignificant" cost, it said in a presentation posted on its website in June last year. The portfolio was reduced to 39 percent of its 2009 level in May last year and will amount to zero in 2018, the bank said.

With the first part of the final Twilight instalment hitting our cinemas this month, we caught up with Robert Pattinson to see how he was feeling now that Edward Cullen will no longer be a part of his life….
Are you sad that it's all over now?
I don't know yet. I feel like I have been in a whirlwind for so long that I don't really know. I feel like I have been doing it for years constantly, even though I have done other movies in between, because whenever you do and promote or talk about another movie, you're always talking about Twilight, so it is kind of constant. But I don't know. Maybe in a year or so. I know when the last one has come out, it will be, but I know right now I have another year of basically doing Twilight stuff.
Do you look forward to the hype all being over and you can get back to doing other things?
Yeah, but it's always a good thing to have a bit of hype, especially nowadays. But I don't know. I will be interested to see how people perceive me in a couple of years, because it seems as though people have been talking about the same stuff about me for about three years now, so I am wondering how long that will go on for. But I don't really know how to predict anything.
How did you prepare for Edward and Bella becoming parents in this film? Did you draw on anything from your own childhood?
Not really. No-one really knows how to be a father when you first begin – there's no way to prepare for it. And it's very easy to react to holding a baby, especially when the baby is looking like a newborn and you have just delivered it – it's very simple, as it's just crying in your hands, so you end up being very careful with it and stuff. But it is strange when Mackenzie (Foy) starts playing Renesmee, as you suddenly have to think, "My daughter is now 11. It's two months after she is born and she can speak." So that was a complicated thing to play. But it's a fantasy movie, so I guess you just go along with it. It is the ultimate fantasty, I guess, to some people, that you can avoid all the annoying parts of having a kid, if they're already fending for themselves. It's like having a puppy. Just leave it alone and thank you very much.
Trust me, it's nothing like having a puppy.
That's what I keep saying in other interviews that, "It's just like raising a dog, it's the same thing, you've just got to leave it alone and tell it to go to the toilet outside."
The fourth book is very different from the others, especially with the sex scenes – the first three books are very chaste. How was that to film?
It's funny when people talk about the sex scenes in the book, because there aren't actually any sex scenes in the book, it's all people's imagination. So when they think, "Oh, this is so hardcore," it actually almost fades to black every single time, and it just shows little bits of the aftermath.
Really, the book is the best example of how to keep something censored but still be erotic or whatever, because you are playing totally on people's imaginations. Like the thing with the feathers, they don't mention anything apart from the fact that there are feathers afterwards, but that's why all the Twilight fans are so fixated on the feathers: "They've got to show the feathers in the movie!" It's all their imagination, all their fantasies about the story are based on that one image, but the whole sex scene is totally in their own heads.
I guess that's the only scary thing about doing it in the movie, because you have to show something, you can't fade to black – if you did a fade to black in the movie, people would go insane. I don't know, it's strange, trying to do anything that's a singular event that everyone is expecting, but at the end of the day, with sex, watching some other people have sex is never going to be that spectacular – hopefully it will be kind of good. It's a strange thing when there is so much hype about it, so that you're like, "God I hope this lives up to it."
So are you a little nervous about the reception of this film?
I definitely am. I like it when you get to the end of the series… when the book came out, I was like, "Wow, she really broke the whole box! She's not even thinking outside the box any more." She went all out in the last one. It's such an incredibly bizarre storyline and it all kind of works as well. It was really brave. It's nice to have something where each one of the movies beforehand, they follow a vaguely similar pattern and this one is just, "Huh?" It's almost a different genre of movie. So hopefully it will be interesting. And Bill (Condon) is a very different director as well.
That has come hand-in-hand with your fame, but what is the best thing that fame has brought you?
You just get to go down a completely different road. I am living a life that I never really knew existed. You can delay being an adult for quite a while. But it's fun. You get to meet really interesting people, and there are very few jobs where almost everyone in the industry loves their job, and it's nice to go to work every day when people are really excited about it and think they are making something great.
In hindsight, what do you think the importance or the value of the Twilight franchise will be, looking back at it? What has it brought to our society, as it is so influential to the youth?
I think anything that gets young people reading is one thing that is pretty important. That was the same thing when I did Harry Potter: it's kind of amazing, but Harry Potter completely changed everything. I don't remember kids talking about books, and the young adult genre was so much smaller before Harry Potter, and things like Twilight and Harry Potter just exploded. And also, in terms of the movies, doing things for a female audience – that changed things as well.
I don't think it has really changed things yet, but it made people in the industry aware that women – just solely women – are a legitimate audience for movies, which in a strange sort of way, is good for guys as well, because I think the industry got convinced that the only people who go to the cinema were teenage boys, so every single movie that came out was directed towards them, but if you start making movies for women, it will eventually dissipate into just making dramas again – just non-action movies – because people think they are girly movies, and they are the movies that I like!

|Viburnum opulus fruit
|Scientific classification
See text
Viburnum is a genus of about 150–175 species of shrubs or (in a few species) small trees in the moschatel family, Adoxaceae. Its current classification is based on molecular phylogeny.[1] It was previously included in the family Caprifoliaceae.[2]
The member species are native throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere, with a few species extending into tropical montane regions in South America, Russia, and southeast Asia. In Africa, the genus is confined to the Atlas Mountains. In Ukraine, it is seen as a national symbol.[citation needed]
The generic name originated in Latin, where it referred to V. lantana.[3]
The leaves are opposite, simple, and entire, toothed or lobed; cool temperate species are deciduous, while most of the warm temperate species are evergreen. Some species are densely hairy on the shoots and leaves, with star-shaped hairs.
The flowers are produced in corymbs 5–15 cm across, each flower white to cream or pink, small, 3–5 mm across, with five petals, strongly fragrant in some species. The gynoecium has three connate carpels with the nectary on top of the gynoecium. Some species also have a fringe of large, showy sterile flowers round the perimeter of the corymb to act as a pollinator target.
The fruit is a spherical, oval, or somewhat flattened drupe, red to purple, blue, or black, and containing a single seed; some are edible for humans, but many others are mildly poisonous. The leaves are eaten by the larvae of many Lepidoptera species.
About 150 species are known, including:

Cultivation and uses
Many species of viburnum have become popular as garden or landscape plants because of their showy flowers and berries, fragrance, and good autumn colour of some forms. Some popular species, hybrids, and cultivars include:[5]
- The hybrid Viburnum × bodnantense (V. farreri × V. grandiflorum) is particularly popular for its strongly scented pink flowers on the leafless deciduous shoots in mid- to late winter.
- Viburnum × burkwoodii (V. carlesii × V. utile)
- Viburnum × carlcephallum (V. carlesii × V. macrocephalum)
- Viburnum carlesii has round white flowerheads, strong fragrance, dense structure, and reddish leaves in autumn.
- Viburnum davidii is an evergreen species from China with blue fruit.
- Viburnum dentatum has flat-topped flowers, bluish fruit, and reddish leaves in autumn. It is somewhat salt-tolerant. The cultivar 'Blue Muffin' is more compact than the species and has fruit that are a deeper blue than the species.
- Viburnum dilatatum has flat-topped flowers, reddish leaves in autumn, and bright red fruit that persist into winter.
- V. × jackii – Jack's viburnum
- Viburnum × juddii (V. bitchiuense × V. carlesii)
- Viburnum plicatum has white flowers, textured leaves, reddish-black fruit, and can grow quite large under ideal conditions. The species can tolerate shade, but not drought.
- Viburnum × pragense (V. rhytidophyllum × V. utile)
- Viburnum × rhytidophylloides (V. lantana × V. rhytidophyllum)
- Viburnum rhytidophyllum is a popular evergreen species, grown mainly for its foliage effect of large, dark green leathery leaves with strongly wrinkled surface. This is the parent species of two popular hybrid cultivars known as 'Alleghany' and 'Pragense'. 'Alleghany' was selected from a hybrid between V. rhytidophyllum and V. lantana 'Mohican' (in 1958, at the US National Arboretum).
- Viburnum setigerum has upright, coarse structure and orange to reddish-orange fruit.
- Viburnum sieboldii has coarse, open structure, flat-topped flowers, reddish-black fruit, and can grow as a small tree.
- Viburnum tinus is a widely grown garden and landscape shrub.
Other uses
In prehistory, the long, straight shoots of some viburnums were used for arrow-shafts, as those found with Ötzi the Iceman.
The fruit of some species (e.g. V. lentago[6]) are edible and can be eaten either raw or for making jam, while other species (e.g. V. opulus[7]) are mildly toxic and can cause vomiting if eaten in quantity.
The bark of some species is used in herbal medicine, as an antispasmodic and to treat asthma.[7]

To many modern horror fans James Wan's "Insidious" is consider a new classic for the genre. Taking many elements that belonged to previous films (Poltergeist, The Shining, etc.) and executing them differently to reveal a new flavor helped make "Insidious" feel like a welcome respite from the torture porn heyday of "Saw". Since that original film became a massive financial success there has been an onslaught of similar, albeit effective, haunted house/demon thrillers available for public consumption.
It's often been said that if Johnny Depp and Christopher Nolan ever teamed up the world would explode from all the hot action that would be produced. Well folks get ready for the end of time because it's happening. The movie is "Transcendence" and I think it has something to do with a super computer that gets put inside a dead person or something. I'm not really sure. Truth be told I started reading the description and I started to daydream about Depp's gentle soft smile.
Gillian Anderson has been confirmed to be taking on a multi-episode role in the upcoming NBC show "Hannibal". The show is based on the much loved Hannibal Lecter character and Anderson will play the role of the good doctor's therapist. Funny story. I always get Gillian Anderson and Marlee Matlin mixed up so for a second I thought Lecter's therapist was going to be a deaf woman which I thought was kind of crazy. Good story huh?
ABC has given the thumbs up to a new zombie outbreak series titled "The Returned". Based on a novel by Jason Mott the show will focus on a small town in the Midwest where the dead return to change the lives of those they left behind. Kind of like "Pushing Daises" I'm guessing, only still on the air.
Want to know even more casting news for "Insidious Chapter 2"? Well Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson and Andrew Astor will all be returning for the second installment of the film and I have absolutely no idea who they are or what roles they played. They all have really weird names though huh? Angus. Sounds like dangus. That's funny.

Jet Fuel Restructures
Jet Fuel Coffee is sad to announce that after 7 years its partnership with Cyclepromo has come to an end. For the past 2 months, we have been working behind the scenes to rethink our strategy, set goals for the future and put in place the foundations of a new racing program that will re-establish Jet Fuel as a regional and national force in Canada. We have renewed our grassroots commitment to building local talent and raising the profile of cycling in Canada.
Jet Fuel Coffee would like to thank Dave Butler and Kevin Field for all their work over the years, Andrew Randell who is leaving for Symmetrics, Buck Miller and Zach Bell who are leaving to race in the US, and all the other riders involved with the team who have contributed to our success. We would also like to give special thanks to all of our sponsors and we appreciate your support of cycling in Canada.
In 2006 we will be taking the management of the team in-house and John Englar will become General Manager of the team. Joe Giuliano will remain with the team to act as team captain and director. Andrew Randell, while moving to Symmetrics, has agreed to remain involved and act as development director.
Our roster for 2006 will include Joe Giuliano, the Hansen brothers - Matt and Jeff - and Peter Morse. Amongst these riders we have both former national and provincial champions, and a depth of international and national experience to draw upon. Over the next month, Jet Fuel will be finalizing its sponsorship list and confirming its racing program. Riders can contact Joe at firstname.lastname@example.com.
John Englar, General Manager
