World of artisan work convening in Fairview: Extraordinary pieces ready for holiday purchases
By J. David Barron,
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 3:53 PM CST
If you are looking for the perfect gift to complement your home or office – or simply to enrich your life – the Greater Dallas Fine Art Festival should satisfy your search.
Just in time for the holidays, more than 10,000 artists will descend upon the Village at Fairview with some of their extraordinary wares this weekend. Among the handcrafted original artwork are expected to be metalwork pieces, paintings, sculptures, digital art, jewelry, glass and ceramic artwork, woodworking and photography.
Hours of the festival are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission and parking is free at The Village of Fairview, located at 329 Town Place in Fairview.
Many of the artists expected to be present are among those included in the top art galleries and private collections in the country. The artists will be available for personal meetings with the patrons and be glad to explain their respective backgrounds as well as discuss any specific pieces of artwork that may be purchased.
"Over the years we have learned that a reliable 'gauge' of how well-attended an event will be is the response of the community in contacting our office for additional information. Typically these calls begin two days before the event," said festival director Bill Kinney. "However, in the case of the Greater Dallas Fine Art Festival, we have received an unprecedented number of phone calls beginning the end of this past week - more than a week before the event. The number of calls continue to escalate, leading us to conclude the community is poised to turn out and support this event.
"The success of any new art event is ultimately determined by the response of the community – specifically, the public that come to appreciate and purchase artwork," Kinney said. "The event itself, the Greater Dallas Fine Art Festival, represents a unique and enthusiastic partnership among the local media, the Town of Fairview and The Village at Fairview. Their support and desire to help create this event is unmatched by any community we have worked with."
Paragon Art Events is promoting the Greater Dallas Fine Art Festival. For more information about this year's festival, go to

yeah, i forget, it still keep half of Utah output...
Intel is in the Nand business. JV with Micron.
Stability at last in DRAM market?
Tam Harbert
A tectonic shift from PCs to mobile devices is remaking the DRAM market, moving a historically volatile business onto firmer, safer ground.
Since the 1980s, the DRAM business has been a high-volume, commodity business, with the lion's share of production going to PCs. Supply and demand were often wildly out of balance. When the PC market boomed, it could cause DRAM shortages, which led to high DRAM prices and led memory makers to increase production. Then the industry would crash as supply caught up with, and then overshot, demand. DRAM makers were living in clover in the good times, and scratching the barrel in others. It was a tough business.
But the rise of mobile devices is changing that cycle. Today's DRAMs fall into one of three major categories: traditional DRAM for PCs (DDR3), DRAM for mobile (low-power DDR2), and specialty DRAM, manufactured for higher performance in particular niches, according to Michael Howard, senior principal analyst, DRAM and compute platforms, at IHS Corp. These three are generally not interchangeable; you can't use PC DRAMs in smartphones and tablets.
And demand for mobile DRAM is rising fast. Smartphones sales surpassed PC demand in the fourth quarter of 2011,
according to market research firm Canalys. IDC has predicted that mobile devices as a whole will outsell PCs by more than two-to-one this year. As of the second quarter of 2012, PCs accounted for less than half of the market for DRAM, the first time its share has ever fallen below 50 percent, according to IHS. "The decline in DRAM share for PCs appears irreversible," said the company in a report, predicting that it will fall from 49 percent in second quarter of 2012 to 43 percent by the end of 2013.
It's already making a difference in who has survived the brutal DRAM market of the last few years. Mobile DRAM and specialty DRAM are not commodity products, so companies that make them, in addition to traditional DRAM, have had more stable pricing. "Mobil DRAM is built to order," said IHS's Howard during an interview with me. "Prices are negotiated on a quarterly basis." That means production is more likely to meet demand, and to generate higher margins for memory vendors.
Next: Samsung sitting pretty
Mobile DRAM is portrayed here as a niche, when actually it has big risk of becoming the next commodity.
if intel keeps loosing cpu business, it might enter-reenter Nand business.
keep it noted...

Factory recommended tires
installed by factory trained technicians starting at $139.99!
Tires are one of the most critical
components of your vehicle. The performance and life of your tires depends on a
variety of factors, including tire type, inflation pressure, wheel alignment,
driving habits and road conditions. You can trust your tire care to our
experienced professionals, at Toyota West. We offer the following
Complimentary Road Hazard with your tire purchase at Toyota West.
Tire Inspection - Routine tire
maintenance is important to ensure that your vehicle maintains superior safety
and performance. Also, be sure to check your tire pressure and tire tread

straight line as you drive, your suspension could be out of alignment, which
can adversely impact tire wear and performance. At Toyota West we can
perform a computerized alignment of front and rear suspension.
Tire Rotation - Rotating your
tires regularly helps prevent uneven wear, reduced fuel efficiency, poor
handling, and shortened tire life.
Tire Balancing - As tires wear, they can
become out of balance, which can cause your vehicle to vibrate at certain
speeds and accelerate the wear of your tires. If necessary, we can
computer-balance all four wheels.

including: Michelin, Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear and Bridgestone. Whether you

Goshen man pleads guilty to involvement in man's death
Click here to view in a gallery.
Terry, 25, of 622 River Ave., Goshen, was arrested in March, along with three others, following the death of John Staub on March 22.
Terry pleaded guilty in Elkhart Circuit Court to the charge of conspiracy to commit murder. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors will drop a charge of criminal gang involvement.
A conspiracy to commit murder charge brings a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison. Terry's plea agreement outlines that Terry and the State agree to a 25-year sentence and that Terry may request a modified sentence after serving 20 years.
Terry's sentencing is set for July 19 in Elkhart Circuit Court.
Elisa Horton, 22, of 415 Noble Court, Goshen, and Dustin Saylor, 22, of 410 Noble Court, Goshen, pleaded guilty Monday to felony charges of assisting a criminal related to the March 22 incident.

Updated: November 9, 2010
Jury selection was expected to begin Monday morning for the man accused of killing an Auburn University student. Courtney Lockhart is accused of killing freshman Lauren Burk in March 2008. Police say Lockhart abducted Burk before shooting her and dumping her body in a roadway. Police say he then set her car on fire. Lockhart faces kidnapping, attempted rape and capital murder charges. Police say 26 year-old Lockhart confessed to the killing after his arrest. The judge has placed a gag order on everyone involved with the trial to keep pre-trial publicity to a minimum.

The Fronius Energy Management Relay for intelligent energy management
Intelligent energy management is becoming increasingly important. Since January 2009, the private consumption of self-generated PV electricity has been boosted by the German Renewable Energies Act (EEG). The Energy Management Relay is a solution developed by Fronius to optimise the private consumption of self-generated solar power.
Consumers are free to decide whether to feed the generated PV electricity into the grid or to supply power to their electrical equipment. All that needs to be done is to configure the inverter accordingly.
The energy management function in detail
The production meter records the energy yield of the PV system. If the Energy Management Relay on the inverter is deactivated, the generated solar power is fed into the grid. If the inverter produces more than the defined power level, the relay switches and the generated power is supplied to the specified electrical consumers. Power that is not required continues to be fed into the grid. The level of private consumption is derived from the difference between the production meter and the electricity meter.
The energy management function is expected to be available for Fronius IG Plus and Fronius CL inverters from mid-February 2012. Customers will need a Fronius Signal Card in order to take advantage of this feature. The card is included as standard in Fronius CL inverters and can be retrofitted very easily in Fronius IG Plus inverters.
For detailed information regarding the Fronius Energy Management Relay please click here.
The Energy Management Relay is an intelligent solution developed by Fronius that addresses this increasingly important topic.

McMinnville man killed in Highway 18 crash
10-year-old girl injured
Mar 19, 2013 | 3 Comments
News-Register Staff
A 30-year-old McMinnville man was killed about 9:40 p.m. Tuesday in a two-vehicle crash about two miles east of McMinnville on Highway 18 near its intersection with Lafayette Highway.
Sgt. Brad Hessel of the Oregon State Police McMinnville office identified the victim as Charles Salinas of 1834 N.W. Wallace Road. Hessel gave this account:
Salinas was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier westbound when, for an unknown reason, it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a 2005 Freightliner tractor pulling two trailers and driven by Dale Boekhoff, 44, of 517 N.W. Blair St., Sheridan. He was driving for CRC Transport Inc. of Salem.
A passenger in the car, Araceli Salinas, 10, of the Wallace Road address, sustained serious injuries and was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Willamette Valley Medical Center. She was reported in stable condition this morning.
Boekhoff was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he was treated and released.
It's unknown if either of the Chevrolet's occupants were wearing seat belts. Boekhoff was not belted in.
The tractor-trailer's fuel tanks both leaked diesel fuel, requiring cleanup coordinated by the Oregon Department of Transportation and Northwest Firefighters HazMat personnel.
Highway 18 was reopened in both directions about 4:45 this morning, following the investigation and cleanup of the scene.
OSP was assisted at the scene by the McMinnville Police Department and Yamhill County Sheriff's Office.

Sunday night's 55th annual Grammy Awards were as much about the performances as it was the actual statues handed out.
The evening saw some powerful collaborations among artists, and all eyes were on one controversial performer. Here are the top 5 moments of the night:
1) Killer performances
Take your pick. From a spirited performance of "The Weight" by an all-star group including Sir Elton John, T Bone Burnett, the Zac Brown Band, Mavis Staples, Mumford & Sons and Brittany Howard of the Alabama Shakes, to the many duets like R&B crooner Miguel with Wiz Khalifa and Miranda Lambert with fellow country artist Dierks Bentley, it was all thrilling.
Fun. reminded us as to why we loved them when they performed "Carry On." But they won a big award of the night, song of the year, for their hit "We Are Young." And the stars in the audience were grooving along during a tribute to Bob Marley led by Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Sting, Ziggy and Damian Marley.
Even Taylor Swift won us over when she took to the stage dressed as a ringmaster and surrounded by circus/carnival types to kick off the ceremony with her hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
But one of the most eagerly awaited performances was:
2) The return of Justin Timberlake to the stage
The Grammys went sepia-toned for Timberlake's performance of his new single "Suit and Tie," which offered plenty of homage to the Rat Pack era with Timberlake in a tux with a bow tie and a big band with similarly suited backup singers billed as "JT and the Tennessee Kids."
Jay-Z left his seat in the audience to run up on stage for his rap portion of the song. And Timberlake was cooler than cool as he segued into his new single "Pusher Love Girl." The performance marked the return of Timberlake to music since he took a four-year break to focus on acting.

This is not a sponsored post. Clarisonic has no idea who I am. I was gifted this product by my awesome husband and want to share my thoughts and opinions with you guys!!
Gone are the days when I could just make an appointment with my aesthetician, relax for an hour or more while she worked her magic to help my skin look its best. I just don't have the time and sometimes when I have the time – this is rare – I just don't have the energy. Quite honestly, thesedays, I'd rather have the extra sleep. Boy, have things changed. ☺
Anyways, I have always cared about my skin, maintained a daily skincare regimen. I love trying out new products and sharing with my friends and family what works for me. And since as a new momma I don't have time to indulge with regular spa visits as much, I wanted to finally get a Clarisonic face cleansing brush. My best friend Seema who works at Sephora Headquarters in SF, has raved about this awesome skin-cleansing tool for years, evening offering me her friends and family discount. I'd look at that price tag and even with the discount would kind of just say…no thanks. Even when I did the math, it still made more sense financially to buy the brush than get a facial every month but for some reason, I just could not get myself to take the plunge for just one brush.
Lately, I started thinking about the Clarisonic more and more. I knew I needed something to help my tired, dull skin. I just couldn't deal with what was glaring back at me every time I dared to look in the mirror. So I asked…I mean I begged Hitesh to just get it for me for Mother's Day.

Both sides agree the wealthy will pay more, so now fiscal cliff talks come down to how much Republicans can wring out of the White House in return for giving in on taxes.
To President Barack Obama, it's all about first locking in additional revenue from raising taxes on high-income owners, an outcome the GOP has long rejected.
Republicans led by House Speaker John Boehner want to secure commitments on entitlement reforms and spending cuts opposed by Democrats as part of a broader agreement to reduce the nation's chronic federal deficits and debt.
A GOP source told CNN that talks between staff members on both sides resumed Thursday for the first time this week, after Obama and Boehner spoke by phone the day before.
Meanwhile, retiring Republican Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio told CNN that he sensed a shift in the House GOP approach during a conference meeting Wednesday.
"The sense was that there's a growing number of folks in our party that are saying, 'You know what, the president has won this round relative to the rates, but we need to you to sit down and get the second half of the deal and that's the spending,'" LaTourette said.
It remains unclear if a deal will happen before the end of the year -- less than four weeks away -- or if the negotiations will carry over into 2013 after the fiscal cliff of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts takes effect.
While economists warn that going over the fiscal cliff could lead to a recession, the administration has signaled it can delay some of the impacts to allow time to work out a deal.
All signs point toward a two-step approach sought by the newly re-elected Obama -- an initial agreement that would extend lower tax rates for income up to $250,000 for families, while letting rates return to higher levels from the Clinton era on income above that threshold.
Even conservatives such as Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal acknowledge the obvious -- taxes on the wealthy are going up despite opposition by Republicans.

"President Barack Obama clings to a 1-point national lead in a head-to-head matchup with the GOP nominee, but the first presidential debate has significantly improved Romney's personal image.
A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll of likely voters puts Obama ahead of Romney 49 percent to 48 percent, a statistical tie and the same as the week before. Across the ten states identified by POLITICO as competitive, Romney leads 50 to 48 percent.
Even as the head-to-head number held stubbornly steady for the last month, Romney improved his likability numbers. A slim majority, 51 percent, now views Romney favorably as a person while 44 percent view him unfavorably." READ MORE

As President Obama and Mitt Romney debate this month, how much are voters getting out the debates? Not much, says one pop culture expert. "If they watch them, I suppose they've been hearing the same thing over the long, long, campaigns that have been going on," says Syracuse University's Bob Thompson. READ MORE |
Obama's campaign, seeking to rebound from a dismal first debate, promised a more energetic president would take the stage Tuesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. Romney's team aimed to build on a commanding opening debate that gave the Republican new life in a White House race that had once appeared to be slipping away from him.
When the two candidates step back into the public eye at the debate, there will be exactly three weeks left until Election Day. But early voting is already underway in dozens of states, including some battlegrounds, giving the candidates little time to recover from any slipups.
Much of the pressure in the coming debate will be on Obama, who aides acknowledge showed up at the first face-off with less practice - and far less energy - than they had wanted. The president and a team of advisers are seeking to regain focus with an intense, three-day "debate camp" at a golf resort in Williamsburg, Va.
"It is going great," Obama said of his preparations Sunday, while taking a brief break to greet volunteers at a nearby campaign office.
Romney, who has made no secret of the huge priority his campaign puts on the debates, was practicing Monday near his home in Massachusetts.
Romney's advisers suggested the Republican nominee would continue to moderate his message - in tone, if not substance - as he did in the Oct. 3 meeting to help broaden his appeal to the narrow slice of undecided voters. In recent days, Romney has promised his tax plan would not benefit the wealthy, emphasized his work with Democrats as Massachusetts governor and downplayed plans to curtail women's abortion rights.
Democrats were dismayed that Obama didn't more aggressively call out Romney's move to the center during the first debate. Since then, the president has been more forceful in doing so on the campaign trail and in television ads.
During debate preparations, aides are working on tailoring that message to a debate format. And they're working on balancing aggressive tactics with the debate's town-hall format, which often requires candidates to show a connection with questioners from the audience.
Romney aides suggested the former Massachusetts governor would be prepared regardless of Obama's adjustments.
"The president can change his style," Romney adviser Ed Gillespie said on "Fox News Sunday." "He can change his tactics. He can't change his record."

Great cars, great beer, great guns (Heckler und Koch ring a bell?) Great ally of the United States. Defeated in two world wars, but due to a few mistakes. Was divided in half, with Berlin (which was in East Germany) also divided in half. Used to be Nazi Germany, before that the Weimar Republic, before that the German Empire, before that the Holy Roman Empire, before that the German Confederation... etc. Germany kicks ass with its badass guns.

The most amazing country on Earth. Take this from me, an American who was lucky enough to live there for 5 awesome years. Germany is a country that has taken a total 360 since 1945. Germany is the democracy that America claims to be. Americans who constantly down-talk Germany and Germans for their errors in the past are very ignorant. It is a peaceful country rich in culture and history. Germans are hard-shelled people on the outside, however, they are very respectful and good-natured on the inside. They have a knack for things being done the RIGHT way(Alles in Ordnung!) They appreciate the finer things in life such as art, music, history, family and friends. Germans are wonderful and privacy-respecting neighbors, enviornment friendly, great scholars, artists and engineers. Even as a very populous country, it is still very clean and absolutely beautiful. Plenty to see and do, and home to the the most awesome and functional highway system in the world. Das autobahn. Deutschland is geil,mann.

In fact, leather shorts are not at all popular in most parts of the country and car construction is not part of the general education plan. Only few folks in Bavaria (state in the country's deep south, capital Munich) still wear leather shorts, but mostly as an attraction for American and Japanese tourists. Wearing leather shorts in northern cites like Hamburg, you may find yourself beaten up or at least laughed at, so beware! Germany is also well known for beer ("Beck's" from Bremen in the very north, "Löwenbräu" from Munich, "Holsten" from Hamburg...) great authors and soccer. (Fussball). "you know it's football when the game lasts 90 minutes and the winner is germany" (peter shilton, english goalie)

Many fascist people still think that Germany means National socialism, but that is absolutely WRONG! It's 2005 now, so the 2nd world war ended 60 years ago. The German executed all "Nazis" that hadn't left Europe to America in 1945 and 1946. The German people still have to repent for those who made them agree to the Nazi regiem. They killed 6 millions Jews in many KZ's all over Central Europe. And in addition: Adolf Hitler wasn't German but AUSTRIAN !!! He was born in Branau am Inn in Austria. I bet you didn't know.
There is a proverb in Germany: "Nationalstolz ist in Deutschland gerade darum so schlimm, da es nichts gibt auf das man stolz sein könnte." America killed until now 12 millions native Americans, 320.000 Japanese people in 3 days without getting accused for it, they kidnapped 0,5 millions Africans which became slaves in America. It attacks any country every 5th year. So what?

The Greentow n fir GR' Q~ rOuN FRQ %/ '" Fss~, Volume 6, Issue 3 " a paper for the people" March 1999 ArchitectswP lans for School Presented Interior of auditorium which is planned for Eastern High School The Eastern Howard School Board and others present at its meeting February 9 had the opportunity to examine several views of the planned addition to the elementary school and the auditorium to be added to the high school. Samples of the selected floor and wall coverings were also presented by personnel of CSO Architects and Interiors. The main entrance to the elementary school will be on the west, with offices moved to that side of the building. Advantages to this move are to relieve the parking congestion presently experienced at the east entrance when parents drop off or pick up children. It also orientates the elementary building toward the high school, which will make travel easier between the two buildings, whether by vehicle or wallung. A pull- through drive will be provided for busses as well as near- by parking for visitors. In addition to the rwrientation of the building, six new classrooms, a new kitchen and cafeteria will be added. The new addition creates a loop. It also provides an interior courtyard which could be used for outdoor gatherings. The present cafeteria will be converted into a large band ensemble room. The new 808 seat auditorium will be connected to the high schwl on the northwest side. This location is near the existing woodshop area, which can be used for building sets, and is near the existing music area. The Board approved the construction documents. Biddina Process to Beain Larry Koenes from Skillman and Co., the construction management fm overseeing the construction, stated that bids will be accepted March 18 for the elementary school project and bids will be due for the high school project on March 23. A bid recommendation will be brought back to the board April 13. The total construction project is estimated at $ 10.5 million.

20130030 | Histology--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: In our database we have a patient diagnosed with 9684/3, Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), immunoblastic, in 2009. His 2010 recurrence at another hospital was called plasmablastic lymphoma and coded to 9735/3 per the 2010 Hemato database. I would like to know which code you would like to see on the merged records? Since 9684/3 is now listed as 'obsolete' I would prefer to use 9735/3. Do you agree that 9735/3 is the better code for the merged tumor record? Thanks. | Final | May 02 2013 | ||||
20130029 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Not sure if this should be registered or not, please advise. Bone marrow: post polycythemic myelofibrosis JAK2 mutations present confirming diagnosis of post polycythemic myelofibrosis. Patient does have history of polycythemia vera (PV). If this is to be registered what histology code? |
Final | May 02 2013 | ||||
20130021 | Histology/Grade--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Why is the classification change not explained in the hematopoietic database abstractor notes for follicular lymphoma (FL) (grade 1, 2, or 3)? If grade 1 is not being seperated from grade 2 and any FL with even a few centroblasts is being labelled as such, when will grade 1 be used on it's own? See discussion. | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
20130020 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: We have two 2013 cases with the diagnosis of aplastic anemia - which does not come up in the Hematopoietic database. Is it an alternative name for refractory anemia? Is it reportable? | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
20130019 | Primary site--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: When a patient has a positive lymph node biopsy and peripheral blood for B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, but refuses bone marrow biopsy, what is the primary site? Rule PH8 is confusing to me because this actually fits both bulleted statements. I am leaning toward C421, but can you please confirm? | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
20130018 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: If a patient has a diagnosis of 'thrombocytosis' or 'thrombocythemia,' it is NOT reportable unless it states 'essential or malignant' -- Correct? I've recently been assigned to do all hematopoetic cases for my hospital system and I want to be sure this is correct. We see a lot of 'thrombocythemia' but I don't often see any stated as 'essential thrombocythemia.' |
Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
20130017 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is reactive thrombocytosis reportable? See discussion. | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
20130015 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: I have seen an increase in the coding of essential thrombocytopenia. Many times it has been coded based on blood counts. I have also seen discharge summaries that say thrombocytosis and they get coded to essential thrombocytopenia. I need clarification on which cases should be reported. | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
20130014 | Reportability-Heme & Lymphoid Neoplams: Is Castleman disease reportable 2010 and later? When you type it in the Hematopoietic Database, it states that it is reportable - 9738/3, but when I researched it online, it states that Castleman disease is a very rare disorder characterized by non-cancerous growths (tumors). | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
20130013 | Reportability-Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome(MCAS)reportable? Our coders are giving it an ICD-9 code of 202.60, but the doctors say in the progress note that it is not the same as systemic mastocytosis. I can't find a listing for MCAS in the Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Database. | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||

Big Library E-Book Read
Public libraries are joining together, from May 15th, to June 1st, to promote the reading of electronic books by lending copies of the e-book "The Four Corners of the Sky" by Michael Malone. Unlike typical library book lending, where patrons must wait for an available copy, the publisher of "The Four Corners of the Sky" Sourcebooks Inc is making the e-book immediately available for lending.
Four Corners of the Sky is the story of female navy pilot Annie Peregrine-Good, who has not seen or spoken with her father in twenty years, until he calls her with a dying wish.
The e-book can be easily downloaded to a computer, Kindle, or a Nook, from the Library's website (www.jeffersonlibrary.net). All you will need is a Jefferson Township Public Library card. If you need help borrowing and downloading "The Four Corners of the Sky" contact the Library by phone at 973-208-644 or e-mail email@example.com

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was fired on Wednesday after the team's latest slow start to the season and amid growing criticism from the team's fan base.
The announcement was made on the team's Twitter account and confirmed by Sabres spokesman Michael Gilbert on Wednesday. Ruff was relieved of his duties shortly after the team held a 90-minute practice, and a day after the Sabres were booed several times by their home fans during a 2-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.
The Sabres (6-10-1) have gone 4-10-1 since opening the season winning their first two games.
With a 571-432-162 record, Ruff was the team's winningest coach. In his 16th season, Ruff was also the active leader among NHL coaches with the same team.
The Sabres, who play at Toronto on Thursday, have not yet named a replacement. General manager Darcy Regier was scheduled to address reporters later in the day.
The news came as a surprise only because Sabres management, including team president Ted Black, had spent much of the past week voicing its support of Ruff. Team owner Terry Pegula was also regarded as a big fan of Ruff.
Pegula, however, was running out of options in his bid to turn the Sabres into a Stanley Cup contender, an objective he made clear upon purchasing the team two years ago. Ruff's firing comes nearly two years to the day Pegula formally took over as the Sabres owner on Feb. 22, 2011.
Ruff was becoming increasingly aware that his job was on the line. Last week, he described the Sabres struggles as being "his mess," while adding that he wasn't done trying to clean it up.
On Wednesday, he abruptly cut short his availability with reporters by hinting that changes were coming because "it isn't working the way we're going." He didn't specify what those changes might be.
Under Ruff, the Sabres made the playoffs in each of his first four seasons and eight times overall. That included a surprising run to the Stanley Cup final in 1999, when Buffalo was eliminated by Dallas in six games. Continued...
The Sabres, however, haven't been the same since they reached the Eastern Conference finals — losing both times — in both 2006 and '07. Buffalo has missed the playoffs in three of the past five seasons.

This is the compact elliptical trainer that provides the same lower leg motion as full-sized elliptical trainers but is small enough to slip under a bed or stow in a closet. The non-slip footpads provide stable footing as you move your feet forward or backward, forcing you to engage your abdominal muscles to keep balance--typical elliptical machines do not engage your abdominal muscles because they have handholds to provide balance. Tension can be adjusted using the dial. The LCD shows you the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time, and calories burned, scrolling through each statistic one at a time. Steel frame supports up to 250 lbs. Includes a LR44 battery for the LCD. Some assembly required. 23" L x 17" W x 11" H. (27 lbs.)

Great for the price
By Morning workouts aren't so bad now
from Edmonton, AB
I am a person who finds working out boring so I wanted something to do while watching TV for 30 mins so I am distracted during the workout. This works great. I quite enjoy it! I feel the burn in my legs when I am done. The only con is it is a bit awkward to completely move to a different location (I just drag it on the carpet into position). The only other thing is having to adjust how I am standing on the machine a couple of times to get the best position, which interupts the workout. But both very minor things. The rest is super!

Just started. It will be a great workout. I am using it primarily for cardio because I have breathing issues....recommend it highly as a terrific tool to better stamina and overall health.
Love this!
By shopsalot
from Tecumseh, OK
This arrived quickly and my husband easily put it together. I wanted something I could get some exercise but wouldn't take up half the bedroom. It took me a few times to keep my balance but after a few times of using it I'm doing good.

Product Arrived as Described
By K
from P, NJ
I have been using this product for only about a week and a half and I will admit that I totally underestimated it. I purchased it originally because of the size. It is easy to store away and lightweight. When I received it, I noticed that the box said it was meant for people with joint problems who might need rehabilitation. I was a little disheartened as I purchased this product to actually work out, but when I started I was blown away. This little machine is no joke. The balancing act adds an extra level of difficulty so if you're used to an elliptical that has the incline adjustments, you won't necessarily miss it. I will say that pedaling at a very slow rate (think warm up or when you first step on) there is a squeak that comes from the rubber wheels rolling over the metal plate, but when you pick up speed, this noise is eliminated. When I first put it together a small plastic piece actually came off, but it is not vital to the workings of the machine and was just in place for aesthetics. This thing works and works well, in spite of the squeak, if you're actually using it right. It can be used for a real work out if you want it to.
A Wonderful product
By Ed the one in need
from Staten Island, New York
Ease of purchase. When I had questions the help line was there for me. A past machine required a part replace ment which was replaced almost by return mail.
Great for TV!
By Lazy Gamer

Bought this for my wife and ended up using it while sitting playing videogames. 90 minutes later I've got a good sweat going and burned 1200 calories without even realizing it! I would totally recommend this to any gamer with a couple pounds to lose. Gotta keep up with our hot wives!

Better than it looks
By Joan

Wish it came with the required equipment pad. Could better be shipped already assembled.
Elliptical Trainer; Decent workout
By Fuzzy
from Reno, NV
Had the product for one week, used it a few times. Really feel it in the legs. It's a short stride, but still enough to get the heart rate going, heavy breathing, and a sweat. I think the distance calibration is incorrect, otherwise I'm suddenly a world class distance sprinter. It had me down as going one mile in just over 4 minutes. I doubt the accuracy of that because I wasn't 'sprinting' at all. But the other 'metrics' seem good to go. We like it; my wife, 9-yr old son, and I use it. Can even use it sitting down, but not terribly convenient and certainly distracting from whatever I'm trying to do so prefer to use it standing, near something I can grab or lean against for balance from time to time until I get into my stride.

Study: Women to Lose Care if State Nixes Planned Parenthood
By: Audrey White, The Texas Tribune
Updated: October 11, 2012
The study, a follow-up to a May report from the university on Texas women's health, examines the impact of excluding Planned Parenthood from the state Women's Health Program in Bexar, Dallas, Hidalgo, Lubbock and Midland counties.
The Women's Health Program operates under a Medicaid waiver and serves more than 100,000 low-income women. Starting Nov. 1, the state plans to exclude Planned Parenthood affiliated health clinics from the program. To do so, it will have to give up federal money, which funds 90 percent of the $36 million program, because the plan violates federal requirements that patients be able to choose their providers.
"While other clinics may be able to care for some of the displaced patients if Planned Parenthood is excluded, there is no evidence that they are prepared to sustain the very large caseload increases that would be required to fill the gaps left after Planned Parenthood clinics are excluded," the study says.
Planned Parenthood served between 51 and 84 percent of the program's patients in the counties the study examined. Across the state, almost half of the more than 100,000 women in the program received care at Planned Parenthood, according to a recent study from the University of Texas Population Research Center.
The Women's Health Program is a cost-saver for Texas because access to family planning reduces the number of unintended pregnancies, said Stephanie Goodman, a spokeswoman for the state's Health and Human Services Commission. The program also provides preventative care, including mammograms and Pap smears.
According to the study, a switch to a state-run program and the elimination of funding for Planned Parenthood will increase the number of unintended pregnancies. In 2010, the program led to 8,215 fewer births and saved $90.2 million, the study states.
Goodman said the state has added 500 providers to the program and will continue recruiting more. Most of these are OB/GYNs who the state hopes will be able to see "more than 10" Women's Health Program patients per year, she said.
"They aren't going to see hundreds of WHP clients like a clinic might," Goodman said. "But when we looked at who is seeing not just one or two patients but more than 10, there are already more than 500."
Many of Planned Parenthood's 6,500 program patients in Hidalgo County won't have anywhere else to go for care, said Kathryn Hearn, the director of community affairs for Planned Parenthood Association of Hidalgo County. Other clinics in the area can't absorb all of Planned Parenthood's patients, Hearn said.
"That is what other providers in this community are telling us," she said. "We are an important safety net, an important link in this health care system."

With you owning your own home, you realize that you would like your bathtub to represent your style and compliment the beauty of the home itself. Now its time to visit your local bathtubs retail dealer, but what exactly is it you want your new bathtub to look like? What features do you think the bathtub should have that would really stand out for you. You want a bathtub that will compliment your bathroom colors and style as well, creating one so beautiful, bath time would be considered the most rewarding and relaxing time ever. When you walk into a bathtubs retail store, automatically you should feel invited, comfortable, and compelled to come in closer. The staff should be professionals at addressing your needs in finding that perfect bathtub, not a pushy salesman who just wants you to say yes. You want salesman who are interested in helping you find a bathtub thats right for you, answering any questions you may have and also updating you on any specials and better deals that you may be interested in. Salesman should be very knowledgeable in the bathtubs they sale so that they can effectively inform you of all benefits, features, and disadvantages. Someone who is selling a product which they know nothing about probably wont be the best salesman to assist you in this area.

If you thought airport wait times were long, get ready for worse.
How about an extra hour to go through security? And, international travelers, brace for this -- four hours to clear customs?
These are likely scenarios at the nation's airports when the much-feared $85 billion of forced U.S. budget cuts hit in March. Many federal agencies -- including those that handle airport security, customs, and air traffic control -- will be forced to furlough employees, which means workers will have to stay away from their jobs for no pay for certain time periods over the next seven months.
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano told Congress last week that furloughs at the Transportation Security Administration will lead to fewer available officers, and passengers could spend an extra hour getting through security.
Similarly, furloughs at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will lead to fewer inspectors to clear international passengers. That means it could take up to four hours to get through customs at the busiest airports such as Newark Liberty International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
"Such delays not only would cause thousands of missed passenger connections, they would have severe economic consequences at both the local and national levels," Napolitano said.
The Federal Aviation Administration is also preparing for a $627 million budget cut. The agency warned that most of its 47,000 workforce will be furloughed for one day every two weeks through September, according to a Feb. 11 letter from FAA Administrator Michael Huerta to employees.
"The furlough of a large number of air traffic controllers, technicians, and aviation safety employees would require a reduction in FAA services to levels that can be safely managed by remaining staff," he wrote.
The timing is particularly bad. The furloughs will likely start taking effect in late April and early May, right before the beginning of the busy summer travel season, said Dan Stohr, spokesman for the Aerospace Industries Association.
"You're going to see tarmac delays, longer lines getting through security, flight delays and fewer flights," Stohr said.

Valentine's Day is about spending quality time with that special someone who floats your boat. And what better way to show your love is deeper than the ocean than by treating your sweetheart to a romantic sea-themed excursion?
But if you thought watching sunsets over water was going to cut it, think again. From staying on the Beatles' famous yellow submarine in Liverpool to pearl diving in the Persian Gulf, CNN takes a look at the top seven dates for adventurous aquatic-lovers.
All you need is love on a yellow submarine
The Beatles may have sung "You can't buy me love," but that doesn't mean you can't buy a romantic getaway on the Fab Four's yellow submarine.
Inspired by the submarine that featured in the band's 1968 animated film of the same name, the floating hotel is moored in the pop idols' hometown of Liverpool.
The converted narrowboat features a psychedelic lounge adorned with gold Beatles records and the original mod scooter from the 1979 British rock film "Quadrophenia."
Film buffs will have extra reason to twist and shout -- the narrowboat also featured in the 1990 Sean Connery thriller "The Hunt for Red October," before its current reincarnation.
Chocolate-making cruise
From the time of the ancient Aztecs, chocolate has been sending us into raptures of aphrodisiac bliss.
But the process of cooking sweet treats can be just as sensual as eating them -- particularly when you're puttering down the Thames in a vintage 1960's boat.

Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon tour Pennsylvania gas drilling sites
MONTROSE, Pa. (AP) — Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Susan Sarandon spoke out against fracking Thursday during a tour of natural-gas drilling sites in northeastern Pennsylvania, warning about what they view as the danger to air, water and human health.
The celebrities boarded a tour bus in New York City and headed to rural Susquehanna County to see gas wells, compressor stations and other evidence of the Marcellus Shale drilling boom, and to visit with residents who say they have been negatively impacted by drilling.
Tom Shepstone of Energy In Depth, an industry group, trailed the sleek silver Mercedes tour bus — which had trouble negotiating an icy hill at one point and had to creep back down — and declared the celebrity visit to be a publicity stunt.
"They don't pay mortgages here, they don't have to get jobs here, they don't have to pay taxes here, they don't have to support their families here. They just come up here to pick on this area and use it as part of their trendy cause," he said.
Ono and her son formed a group called "Artists Against Fracking" to oppose drilling in New York state, where they own a farm and where drilling and hydraulic fracturing have been on hold for several years while officials there develop regulations for the industry. Local anti-drilling activists led Thursday's tour in Pennsylvania, where thousands of wells have been drilled and fracked in recent years.
At one well pad, Lennon guided his 79-year-old mother over mud and ice so they could get a better look.
"We hope that what's happened here will be a lesson for New Yorkers," he said. "I hope that New Yorkers will learn from this and tell Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo that it's not something we have to do."
Ono accused the gas industry of disregarding residents' welfare. "They care about making money," she said.
Drillers use the fracking technique to stimulate oil and gas production. It involves the high-pressure injection of millions of gallons of water, along with sand and chemical additives, deep underground to break apart shale rock and free the gas trapped inside it. The industry and many federal and state officials say fracking is safe when done properly, but environmental groups and some scientists contend the risk of contamination is too great.
The stars met with Matthew and Tammy Manning, who blame the high level of methane in their well water on a natural gas driller, WPX Energy. The driller is paying to deliver replacement water while state environmental officials investigate the cause. Continued...
"They say it's safe, but it's not," Matthew Manning told Ono, Lennon and Sarandon. "When there are problems, nobody wants to admit it."
After listening to the couple's story, Sarandon said, "If it's been decided that these people are expendable, and that the people in this area are expendable, there's nothing to stop (the industry) from thinking that they can sacrifice other people in other places. ... It's horrifying and very sad."
Industry officials say the methane in the Mannings' water is naturally occurring shallow gas — not production gas from the Marcellus formation — and contend their well was flooded and suffered mechanical failure.

So today was my first real attempt at an all vegan day, I had like 3 apples half a bundle of celery, banana, orange and a bottle of carrot juice (which I paid six bucks for) before realizing it was flash pasteurized. Seriously, has there been a single case in history of someone dying of carrot poisoning?
I made it till dinner until I caved but I had some high energy all day long, specially considering I was running errands since ten am (early for me, hey)
So the real corker is I picked up a cheapo juicer at the local thrift store for next to nothing just to get an idea as to what I'm in for before I invest real money.
I put some cucumber, spinach, celery & apple into it and topped it off with some of the carrot juice for taste. The taste was a little off putting at first, but nothing I couldn't work with. Thing I don't understand is 10-15 minutes later my body is sayin: stop drinkin this stuff. I can't even finish what was originally about a cup and a half of juice?
Is this sort of reaction normal? I don't feel sick to my stomach per-se, I had no reaction to large amounts of vegetables by themselves, nor the carrot juice alone. The only variable really is the spinach, but then again, I've eaten massive bowls of raw spinach salad with no problems at all. I love raw spinach.
I'm stumped, perhaps my body is just not ready for this level of un-inhibited vitamin consumption. Is this normal? Also within about 20 minutes I crashed big time, as in I almost passed out in the middle of a conversation with someone.
