This will be an open blog for the draft, and it will be updated with thoughts from Gregor, Willis, Brownlee and Lowetide as well as your thoughts in the comment sections.
12:00... One hour until the draft starts, which means the Oilers likely don't pick until closer to 1:45. I picked the worst time of the year to give up alcohol for a month. I could use a beer or two to get through the next 90 minutes.
12:06... Recap: Van asking price is too high for Schneider...hmmm Where did we hear that before? Hello, Luongo. Gillis isn't in a position of strength when trading a goalie. He needs to recognize that.
12:08... Carolina is open to trading the #5 pick. Let's hope they do and it is the beginning of a busy day of trades.
12:10... I still believe the Oilers will pick #7, unless the swap with Flyers in Coburn deal. I expect their trades to involve roster players, prospects and their 2nd round picks.
12:12... Non-hockey note...I watched Dead Man Down last night...Great movie. The ending didn't fit with the rest of the flick, but overall it was solid.
12:15... Going on TEAM 1260 at 12:20 with Guy Flaming. I'm sure we will talk about the Eskimos excellent effort last night.
12:19... I'd draft Darnell Nurse ahead of Elias Lindholm.
12:21... (JW)... For what it's worth, my preferred draft order for the top seven is MacKinnon, Jones, Drouin, Barkov, Lindholm, Nichushkin, Monahan. Just barely have Nichushkin ahead of Monahan, just barely have Monahan ahead of Nurse.
12:30... Reminder if you are looking to have beers and watch the draft with fellow Nation readers, the Nation part is at the Pint Downtown.
12:35... The Oilers main focus is still to upgrade blueline, and most imporant they want to add players who play big, ideally have size, but also players who are competitive on every shift.
12:37... Phoenix has signed goalie Mike Smith to a 6-year extension at $5.6 million, according to John Shannon.
12:44... (JW) Adrian Dater tweets that Florida may be considering Aleksander Barkov with the second overall pick, meaning both Jones and Drouin could slide to three. Incredible; Barkov's a fantastic player but that's nutty talent still on the board with the third pick.
12:45... Darnell Nurse impresses me the more I listen to him speak. Solid kid, good interview on TSN.
12:48... TRADE... (JW)... Pittsburgh sends Tyler Kennedy to San Jose for a late second round pick (50th). Nice trade for the Sharks, and presumably one that takes them out of the running for Cal Clutterbuck.
12:50... Great news for Oilers that Sharks are likely out of Clutterbuck sweepstakes. Oilers could really use a player like Clutterbuck.
12:55... I'm always amazed at how many kids come to the draft who don't get drafted. Each year there is usually 10 kids left sitting in crowd. Awful decision to put your son through that.
12:56 (JW)... Michael Russo tweets that Minnesota is talking to the Penguins about that second round pick they just got from San Jose. Clutterbuck or someone else?
12:58... How many trades do you think we see once the draft starts? (not including the NYR/Wild and SJ/Pitt trades that have happened). I will say we see 6 trades that involve current NHL players. We will see numerous trades involving picks, and i'll say we see 5 trades in the first round involving swapping of picks.
1:01... I think Nathan MacKinnon looks a bit like Ales Hemsky.
1:05... Finally Bettman speaks and the draft officially begins. I believe fans boo just for the sake of it now when Bettman makes an appearance. David Stern was booed every time he announced a pick during the NBA draft on Thursday. It's old.
1:07... Nice gesture by the NHL recognizes Don Baizley. One of the most respected men in hockey.
1:09...Love the Devils fans chanting, "Marty's better, Marty's better." to Patrick Roy.
1:10... The Avs waste no time and come right up to the podium and draft Nathan MacKinnon 1st overall. No surprise after what they said the past ten days. Great pick by Avs. He is the best player, and gives them a lot of depth down the middle.
1:14... Duchene, MacKinnon and Landeskog. Could be great rivalry vs. Hall, RNH and Yakupov. All top-3 picks.
1:16... Florida comes up to the podium... Dale Tallon selects Alex Barkov. The first time in a long timeTallon has drafted a European in the first round. The Panthers need offence. I like this pick for them.
1:17 (JW)... I really like Barkov. A lot. I've seen him more than any of the other prospects at this draft, too. But I don't know if I could pick him with Seth Jones and Jonathan Drouin available. Wow.
1:20... Tampa Bay selects another forward, Jonathan Drouin. Kid has unreal hands. He was playing midget AAA hockey 18 months ago.
1:22... Nashville desperately wanted an offensive player, but I can't see them passing on Jones. They really need Filip Forsberg (traded for Erat) to pan out.
1:27... Preds gladly select Seth Jones. Their blueline looks good for next ten years with Weber and Jones. I wonder if this means they consider trading Weber in a year or two.
1:33...Canes don't trade pick...They take Elias Lindholm. I'm curious where he plays in Carolina with the Staal brothers as the #1 and #2 centres.He is committed to one more year in Sweden before he comes over.
1:34... Will the Flames take Monahan? Calgary picks six for 4th time in franchise history. Fans hoping for a player closer to Cory Stillman than Rico Fata or Daniel Tkaczuk. They need a centre.
1:40... Flames make the smart pick and take Sean Monahan. Flames would be smart to let him play one more year in junior.
1:42... Nichushkin might be best player, but Nurse makes most sense for the Oilers. Interesting to see which way they go.
1:45... Oilers take Darnell Nurse. Smart pick. Big, mean and athletic kid. Here is the interview I had with Nurse earlier this month.
1:50... Bad news for Oiler fans... The Islanders have acquired Cal Clutterbuck and 3rd rounder (70th) from the Wild for Nino Niederreiter. Interesting to see the Islanders give up so quickly on a top pick.
1:54... Sabres take Rasmus Ristolainen #8. Solid pick. Devils up next and I have to think they take Nichuskin. Ilya Kovalchuk can mentor him.
1:58...TRADE.... Devils trade #9 pick to Vancouver for Corey Schneider... Thoughts???
2:02... Canucks take Bo Horvat 9th overall. Rumour has it the Oilers offered a 1st, 2nd and a prospect. Interesting.
2:04... Thoughts on Nurse. He should go back to junior and develop for one more year. No need to rush him. The Oilers are going to give Oscar Klefbom a chance this season, so no one should expect the Nurse to play this year. Be patient.
2:08... Dallas with the #10 pick.... They take Valeri Nichuskin. This guy is huge. Jim Nill has had lots of success in Detroit drafting Euros, so I'm not surprised they took him. He's big enough, he's talented enough and he will play in Dallas next year.
2:15... Flyers take Sam Morin #11. They rarely draft D-men, but Morin had a great 2nd half of the season. Very good skater for a big man and very physical. Flyer fans will love him.Chris Pronger did some scouting for Flyers this year, so he likely had some input on Morin.
2:21... Coyotes take Max Domi 12th overall. The third year in a row the Coyotes have drafted a son of a former NHLer. They took Connor Murphy in 2011 and Henrik Samuelsson last year.
2:28... The Jets take Josh Morrissey. This is where we will start to see some "surprise" picks based on rankings. Morrissey was ranked in mid-teens to low-20s on some rankings. Jets have lots of D depth. I'm surprised they didn't take a forward.
2:31...The Blue Jackets take Alexander Wennberg 14th. No surprise the Jackets took him with Nokelainen's background as Finnish scout, he's seen him a lot.
2:35... Still only one trade so far through 14 picks. Screw you SPECULATION.
2:39... The Islanders draft Ryan Pulock 15th. Really like this kid. He's endured a lot in his life, lost his younger brother in car accident a few years ago. He has a cannon of a shot and I think he will develop nicely. Crazy that the Islanders have drafted a D-man with their last 8 picks.
2:46...The Sabres take another D-man in the first round. They take Nikita Zadorov #16th. He was rated higher, so this could turn out to be a great pick.
2:51... Senators take the Oil Kings Curtis Lazar 17th. He will be a solid NHL player. Of all the mid first round picks, I'd be most confident that he becomes a regular. Not flashy necessarily, but he is a very complete and focused player.
2:54...TRADE... San Jose trades the 20th and 58th pick to Detroit for #18...
2:55... Doug Wilson is never afraid to make a trade. Acquired Kennedy earlier today and now moves up a few spots. The Sharks grab D-man Mirco Mueller 18th.
2:58... Columbus with their 2nd pick of 1st round. They choose Kerby Rychel19th. Plays hard game, but he has some hands with back-to-back 40 goal seasons. Columbus seems to have a lot of gritty, grinding forwards and Rychel fits that bill.
3:00...Oiler fans are already ripping MacTavish because he hasn't made any moves. I'll evaluate him in mid-July when free agency has begun and the usual trade period has dried up. MacTavish put himself in a position to be questioned if he doesn't make any "Bold" moves, but I won't rip him yet.
3:05... The Red Wings draft the only 50-goal scorer, Anthony Mantha with the 20th pick. Somewhere Lowetide is smiling. Mantha was his favourite mid-round pick.
3:11...The Leafs with the 21stpick select Frederik Gauthier... He has been compared to Martin Hanzal, he won't be a big point producer but is very good defensively. Leafs will need to be patient with his development. Leafs needed a big centre, so this pick makes a lot of sense.
3:15... The Flames use their 2nd pick of the 1st round and take Emile Poirier 22nd. Every Flames fan was hoping they'd take Hunter Shinkaruk, but it is the Flames, so of course they went off the board a bit.
3:22...The Capitals take Andre Burakovsky 23rd. Skilled, offensive player but he played in division II in Sweden not the SHL (formerly SEL).
3:28... The Canucks take who the Flames should have picked, Hunter Shinkaruk, 24th. Has lots of skill, but I guess the Flames had enough offence. The Canucks added lots of offence with Horvat and Shinkaruk in the first round.
3:34...The Canadiens select Michael McCarron 25th. He is 6'5', 228 pounds already. He's a big, physical body, but he needs to improve his skating. He was the 2nd American taken today.
3:39... The Anaheim Ducks have a history of solid draft picks, and today they took Shea Theodore 26th. Had 50 points as a D-man in Seattle this year.
3:40... Still chuckling reading the reaction to the Flames' pick of Poirier. Feaster told Ryan Rishaug they had Poirier in their top-ten. Are you kidding me? No one else had him in the top-20, but the Flames magically felt he was that good. Hilarious.
3:45... The Blue Jackets use their 3rd first round pick and take Marko Dano 27th. He has a heavy shot. It is rare for one team to have two solid 1st round picks, so I'd be shocked if all three of the Blue Jackets' picks pan out.
3:52.. The Flames with their 3rd pick of the 1st round and they select Morgan Klimchuk 28th. Skilled forward who had 36 goals and 76 points in 72 games with the Regina Pats.
3:56... With their 2nd pick of the 1st round Dallas selects speedy Jason Dickinson 29th from Guelph. One knock on him was that he was a bit soft. Time will tell.
4:01... The 1st round ends in under three hours as the Blackhawks take hometown boy Ryan Hartman with the 30th pick. He is just like Andrew Shaw, a great agitator.
The Canucks stole the show with the Schneider trade. Early reaction ranged from the Canucks didn't get enough for Schneider, to Mike Gillis made a mistake by not talking to Roberto Luongo before making the deal. Luongo is under contract, and I guess he could hold out, but he's due to make $6.7 million next season. Will he hold out and forfeit that much money? I doubt it.
I didn't expect the Oilers to trade their #7 pick, but look for MacTavish to use one, if not both, of his 2nd round picks to try and make a deal. We will have another article once the Oilers make a trade or if MacTavish strikes out.
Wow...its great the Oilers got several more picks and I do like the team getting Olivier-Roy at centre...now that I read about him...lol...but this team needs to either start making trades today going forward or start getting players/prospects.
A #7 (Nurse - excellent) and a #56 (Marc Olivier Roy - good) does not clearly show the Oilers getting quickly upgraded as much as they should be...but I will wait until by the end of Round 5 to see what has been accomplished (or not).
I am still strongly hoping for a Seguin to the Oilers deal from Boston BTW...
Really, which of our young untouchables are you sending the other way?
Oilers have no fear of drafting Russians, Slepshyev and Yakimov
All skill here. Slepyshev was first overall pick in the KHL draft two years ago as a 17 year old. 4 spots ahead of huberdeau. Why would a russian team waste a pick on a high end Canadian player.
June 30 2013, 07:08PM
I'd put Nurse ahead of Klefbom on the depth chart. Oscar may be a year and a little bit older, but with the time Oscars missed with injuries, they could both use a year before being slotted into the lineup. Klefbom would be best in the American hockey league rather than playing sheltered last pairing minutes in the NHL. Nurse in that same time has needed time to fill out physically. Let Darnell get his 9 reg season games in before sending him back.
June 30 2013, 07:31PM
That is all the proof I need to take Nichushkin.
Care to revise your statement sir, or can I hand you a Kleenex?
Philly wanted Lady Smid and our two seconds for Coburn. No thanks.
Philly wanted Lady Smid and our two seconds for Coburn. No thanks.
DISRESPECT : Most of the trades we tried to access were dictated by Gm's trying to take advantage of our "green "Gm" . Ludicrous asking prices . Why ? Maybe MacT. needs to be better at opening and closing a deal by being the person making the deal rather than the responder to the deal . For some reason(s) other GM's don't seem to respect our managerial team . Follow up is a natural procedure if interest shown .

Galax police are investigating an accident involving a pedestrian that occurred on West Stuart Drive/U.S. 58 on Monday afternoon, according to Police Chief Rick Clark.
Galax police and Galax-Grayson EMS responded to a report that a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle approximately 250 feet west of the intersection of Stuart Drive and Armory Road.
Terry Hammersley, 39, of Galax, was struck by a vehicle operated by Norma Anauo, who was traveling west on Stuart Drive, Clark said.
Willis man faces charges in Carroll, Floyd and Montgomery counties.
HILLSVILLE — A Carroll Fire and Rescue driver received a ticket for failing to yield in a Sunday evening accident on U.S. 221, according to a report by a Hillsville police officer.
The two-vehicle wreck occurred March 17 at about 8:30 p.m. on 221 at the entrance to the fire-rescue station, when ambulance driver Brian Schlabach, 29, attempted to turn onto the road with lights and sirens on while responding to an emergency call, according to a report by Officer Ricky Hayes.
The Grayson County Sheriff's Department is seeking two suspects in an armed robbery at a Galax residence, in which prescription drugs and cas were stolen.

The Nicholas BrothersDancer / Actor
Born: 1914 (Fayard) and 1921 (Harold)
Died: 3 July 2000 (Harold) and 24 January 2006 (Fayard)
Birthplace: United States Alabama (Fayard) and North Carolina (Harold)
Best known as:
Acrobatic tapdancers of the 1943 film Stormy Weather
The Nicholas Brothers were a tremendously acrobatic tap dancing team of the mid-20th century. The sons of vaudeville musicians, the brothers began singing and dancing as youngsters. Their act developed into an astonishing mix of tap dancing, flips, splits and other show-stopping moves. They played the Cotton Club alongside luminaries like Duke Ellington and performed on Broadway in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1936 and other shows. In Hollywood they were featured in films like Kid Millions (1934, with Ethel Merman) and Sun Valley Serenade (1941, with Sonja Henie), though as African-Americans they often were given just enough screen time for one showstopping number. Their spectacular staircase dance in the 1943 musical Stormy Weather has become their signature movie moment. In 1991 they were honored at the Kennedy Center for their achievements.
Extra credit:
Harold Nicholas was married to actress Dorothy Dandridge during the 1940s... Harold had supporting roles in the 1974 Bill Cosby comedy Uptown Saturday Night and in the 1989 film Tap.

Were you drfated to your job? are you not allowed to leave your company? did you have to move to a location determined by a league? there's nothing normal about what these guys do.
any time you want to play basketball let me know
Were you drfated to your job? are you not allowed to leave your company? did you have to move to a location determined by a league? there's nothing normal about what these guys do.
any time you want to play basketball let me know
Youre actually going to argue that Jordan wins a ring with those Cleveland teams
As for the "no good teams" argument, notice that Lebron actually beat a lot the ****ty teams he played single handedly until he came up against the Celtics and Spurs. You know, two very good teams. You cant beat complete teams like those two with one good player.
Myself and several others applied for the position that I have now. I got it. Why?
Because they felt I was the best available for the position. Why did LeBron get drafted by Cleveland? Because of all the applicants they had to choose from, he was the best available.
The fact that get "drafted" and moved to location determined by the team that choose them has nothing to do with why you think playing basketball isn't a normal job.
You don't think it's a normal job because they get paid to "play" rather than "work." You associate basketball with "playing" because you're "playing basketball" and not "working basketball."
Get over it. These dudes work harder than the majority of the people who hit an alarm clock and then "go to work."
Bos won ONE title, they were a good/very good team. Not grat. I don't blame him for losing to SA(though he could have won a game or 2) but the way he went out against Boston was pathetic and his poor play was THE reason they lost.
When you got your job they told you right out of college you were taking this job and had to relocate to Cleveland to do it?
At no point did I ever say they don't work hard so don't deflect w/ asinine comments like that. I am around NBA players and pro athletes for a living, I understand the business side better than most average fans. Working hard or not has nothing to do w/ the FACT that their job is not a regular job no matter how many excuses you want to make for the best player in the league taking the easy way out.
Watered down teams? The league is better today.
Teams play more defense today and they play zone defense at that. Jordan never had to face a zone.
What youre saying is that just because Lebron was drafted to Cleveland, he had some sort of obligation to stay there? Thats ridiculous. Back home they have a program where the government will let you attend College of the Bahamas for free to be a teacher, but you owe them like 3 or 4 years of mandatory service in the public school of their choice once you graduate. Some of these schools are not ideal places to be if youre a teacher for a variety of reasons, mainly the kids and parents just not caring or trying to better themselves. When the teachers complete their mandatory time at whatever school, many of them move on to a better environment where they feel their talents are more appreciated. They do not have any obligation to keep teaching kids who dont try to improve.
Its the perfect example of mine and J's point, really. The only difference is that Lebron went above and beyond the call of duty and played out two contracts there. Hes like the teacher who decided to keep teaching in the hood until he finally realized he has getting nowhere and could accomplish more elsewhere.
Im not even a Heat fan BTW.
If that's the case why didn't Chicago win the title in 1994? they didn't even make the conf Finals despite a roster full of experienced champions and adding Toni kukoc?
So are teachers who leave to teach in places where their efforts are better appreciated disappointing?
And the Bulls won playoff series without Jordan. You just made our point lol. The Cavs were historically bad without Lebron.

1) Win the next game.

5.4 % and climbing fast
March 04 2008 09:39AM
(click image to enlarge) So the Oil win against Columbus and the chances they are going to make the playoffs jump by 1.6% to 5.4%. This isn't all bad, lambs. One time, in this calculus class we took, the kid next to us got 2/50 on our first midterm exam. That's only 4%—the Oilers are at 5.5%. We don't know what happened to that kid in our class, but we are sure he didn't make the playoffs. Could the Oil?

AStar - 1.1
John Eriksson (wmjoers)
A simple python implementation of the A* (a-star) path finding algorithm. The source contains the algorithm and a simple proof-of-concept example using pygame.
The code only implements support for a plain square map but it should be fairly simple to implement support for any map type. If you have any questions regarding this don't hesitate to ask.
Example instructions:
Edit the map by first selecting a tile type. The blocking tiles can not be passed. The walkable tiles has values from 1-4 (also known as move cost) where 1 represents easy terrain (low cost) and 4 is rough terrain (high cost). You can also place the start and ending points. When you are finished editing press the Find path button and the AStar algorithm will try to find the path with the lowest cost. If any path is found it will be displayed with white lines.
Added some very needed optimization and modified the printout in the example to show execution time.

Yes, the 4 minutes ringed a bell, i immediately looked it up, the manual says the base station needs approx. 4 minutes to sync with the sensors, but only for the first time you set it up, or when you need to change the batteries. It doesn't say it syncs every 4 minutes on its own. Are you suggesting that it is? Because if that signal is complex as you say it is, than that's got to be it.

At the June 12 commission meeting Morris Sorensen was approved for a seat on the Emery Water Conservancy District board. The commission will advertise for a member for the Emery County Care and Rehab board. The commission signed a memorandum of understanding between Emery County and the Bureau of Land Management for greater sage-grouse national planning strategy, Utah sub-region participation.
The commission approved a contract between Emery County and the Utah State History for a grant to be utilized for a historical kiosk at the Lucky Strike Mining Area.
Jeff Kelsey, discussed the costs of insurance to Emery County and the details of the renewal. Emery County has a 67 percent loss ration which is good. All claims are paid in a timely manner which saves the county money. The county has done well with wellness programs and trying to have healthy employees has helped to keep costs down. For this year there is a zero rate increase. The only thing that went up was the life insurance.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks thanked Kelsey for his work and appreciates him getting the best rates for the county.
The county has adopted the fire restrictions imposed for state and federal lands.
The county adopted the tax rates for the year. This year's rate is .003525. Brenda Dugmore, county clerk reported income is up by $42 million, but that is from PacifiCorp and it's appealed every year and the county will most likely have to pay that back.
Jacob Sharp, director of the Castle Valley Special Service District reported the debt service has come down a small amount. The combined rate with the general operations and the bond debt service is .002408.
Commissioner James Nelson said Rocky Mountain Power will help the county save money on new and existing buildings by doing energy audits.
Commissioner Horrocks said he attended an award banquet for risk management and Gaylee Jeffs and Mary Huntington completed the course. He was able to take a flight on a helicopter while the National Guard was here and enjoyed it very much. A fly-in will be held on Sept. 28-29 at the Huntington Airport. There will be a trap shoot and camping at the back country air strips in the area. There will be a car show and lunch and dinner at the airport.
Commissioner Nelson reported he appreciates the work the DNR recovery specialist is doing to keep species off the endangered species list including the Colorado cutthroat. If a species is listed it tends to shut everything down.
The municipal building authority meeting was also held. A public hearing was conducted to gain input for the construction of the new weed and mosquito building and shop. It is an $850,000 project and will be build with a matching grant from the Permanent Community Impact Fund Board.
Work continues at the Huntington Senior Citizen center. All the lighting work and the electrical is complete. The floor coverings need to be completed and the new countertops in the kitchen. The fuel tank needs to be relocated at the Huntington Airport. This will be split into two projects a new fuel tank will be purchased and relocated. The drainage and power lines will also be a project. Some of these projects will need to be budgeted for next year.
The commission approved 90 day temporaries for the county including Cardell Sackett at the Emery County Economic Development, Sara Grindley in the library system, Shantel Sitterud and Kim Behling in the Aquatic Center, Earl Nelson in the road department. Volunteers approved for the library system include: Todd Huntington, Michelle Jefferies, Jenny Jackson, Mike Sprague, Corbin Barnett, Steve Furner, Clayton Laws, Hailee Rogers, Shelby Williams, Brandon Hoffman, Remi Hoffman, Tanner Hoffman, Drake Hoffman, Malory Hoffman, Gordon Larsen, Mindi Larsen, Andee Harris, Nicky Nielson, Kate Nicholson, Lauren Clarke, Cole Clarke, Kathryn Allred, Kori Cook, Alexis Cook, Angelia Fox and Larisa Guymon. A 3 percent wage increase and COLA increase was approved for Meagan Wilberg and Seth Weber. Clayton Fox was hired as a part-time maintenance worker for the library system.
A business license was approved for Momma's Boy Labor and Hauling.

What Is Crohn's Disease?
This inflammatory disease of the digestive tract affects about 700,000 people in the United States.
Crohn's disease is a chronic digestive disorder that causes irritation and swelling in the digestive tract.
The disease belongs to a group of conditions called inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
Crohn's disease most commonly affects the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine (colon), but inflammation can occur anywhere in the digestive tract.
There is no cure for Crohn's disease, but there are many treatments to help manage its symptoms.
Most people with Crohn's disease go through periods of remission in which they have no symptoms, and flare-ups during which symptoms worsen.
Out of every 100,000 U.S. adults, 201 people have Crohn's disease.
This means about 700,000 people in the United States have the disease, according to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America.
Crohn's disease is most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 35, but it can be diagnosed at any age.
Men and women are equally likely to be affected.
The disease is more likely to affect Caucasians and people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent than people of other races or ethnicities.
Crohn's Disease Causes and Risk Factors
The exact causes of Crohn's disease are unknown.
Experts believe a combination of genetic and environmental factors contribute to a person's risk for the disease.
Some risk factors for Crohn's disease include:
Genes: While no one gene can be said to cause Crohn's disease, scientists have identified more than 100 genes that may raise the risk of the disease.
Family history: Crohn's disease appears to run in families. About 5 to 20 percent of people with Crohn's disease have a parent or sibling with it.
Where you live: Crohn's disease is more common in developed countries than developing ones. It's also more common in urban than rural areas.
Cigarette smoking: Smokers have double the risk of developing Crohn's disease compared with non-smokers, according to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America.
Crohn's disease may also be caused by an autoimmune reaction.
There's some evidence that in the disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy bacteria that grows naturally in the human gut.
Complications of Crohn's disease may include:
- Bowel obstructions
- Anal fissures (small tears in the anus that cause itching, pain, or bleeding)
- Ulcers (open sores in the digestive tract)
- Fistulas (ulcers on the wall of the stomach or intestine that allow gut contents to leak into other parts of the body)
- Malnutrition (such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies)
- Colon cancer
Not all Crohn's disease complications are limited to the digestive tract. Some people develop complications that affect other parts of the body.
Non-digestive complications may include:
- Eye pain, itchiness, or redness
- Mouth sores
- Joint swelling and pain
- Skin sores, bumps, or rashes
- Osteoporosis (weak, porous bones)
- Kidney stones
Crohn's Disease and Pregnancy
Women with Crohn's disease may have difficulty becoming pregnant during flare-ups or periods when disease symptoms are very active.
For most women, fertility returns to normal during periods of remission.
There's a higher risk of pregnancy complications — including miscarriage, stillbirth, and developmental defects — when the disease is active.
The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America recommends that women wait until at least six months after their last flare-up before trying to become pregnant.

Rock River Resources announced plans to build a state-of-the-art crude oil processing plant in Green River.
Rock River Resources has announced that it will build a new state-of-the-art crude oil processing plant and rail terminaling facility in Green River. The Emery County project will require a capital investment of more than $230 million and will provide a long-term viable crude processing option in the region.
Chief Operating Officer of Rock River Resources Jeff Beicker said, "This refinery is an investment in the future of Green River and the State of Utah, putting people and technology to work to help meet the future energy needs of the state and the region."
The first phase of the project is planned to break ground in 2013 and will be operational in 2014. It is expected to employ up to 300 workers at peak construction and once all phases are completed roughly 125 operational jobs will be created. In addition to the direct jobs created by Rock River Resources, the project will bring a significant increase in the local property tax base, increased franchise/corporate tax income to the state and higher paying jobs with good benefits for area employees.
The Emery County project will be among the cleanest refineries in the country and will use state-of-the-art design technology for this type of project. It will use emission control technologies that will enable the facility to meet emission limits that are among the most stringent ever required for a refinery of this design. In fact, due to the minimal emissions, the facility will be classified as a "Minor Source" by the State of Utah.
"Rock River Resources has received strong support from state and local community leaders and we have worked closely with them during the early phases of the project," added Beicker. "Our goal is to be a partner with the community and ensure that the benefits of the project are felt not only in Green River, but across the state of Utah. We look forward to providing options for producers in the region."
The first segment of the project will include a terminaling and rail loading facility that will provide services for local producers for crude terminaling. The terminaling facility is projected to be operational in 2014. The second segment of the project will be a 10,000 barrel per day topping plant that will process local crudes and condensates into naptha, fuel oil, diesel and jet fuel. The topping plant should be operational by mid-2015. The final segment of the project will be a processing plant for regional wax crudes that will produce refined paraffin waxes and lube oils. The wax plant should be operational by mid-2016.
Rock River Resources is a team of energy professionals led by Jeff Beicker and in partnership with world-class energy companies that have years of experience in building and operating refineries. Rock River Resources is based in Houston, Texas. WoodRock & Company and Bridgehouse Capital Operations in London have cooperated in securing a European equity partner for this venture and together will continue to advise Rock River Resources in respect to capital requirements.
The location for the project is near the junction of highway 6 and I-70 in a triangular area that borders old highway 24. The company will host a ground breaking event later this fall to celebrate the project.

An intimate family portrait that explores the tragedy of Alzheimer's disease, the power of art and the meaning of family. "The Genius of Marian" follows Pam White in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease as her son, the filmmaker, documents her struggle to hang on to a sense of self.
The Genius of Marian (Banker White and Anna Fitch | USA | 85 min.)
Pam White is amazing at everything she puts her mind to — from modeling to social work to parenting. For years, she's been the spark plug at the center of a tight-knit and talented family. Now in her early 60s, Pam is writing a book about her own mother, the celebrated painter, Marian Williams Steele who passed from Alzheimer's disease in 2001. But in a tragic coincidence, as Pam delves into her past, her memory begins to fail her and Pam is diagnosed with Alzheimer's herself.
Award-winning director Banker White (along with co-director Anna Fitch, a Rooftop alum) approaches his mother's story with a raw openness and tender subjectivity that makes for an extremely touching film. Rather than distance himself from the issue, Banker bravely confronts his mother's illness as best he can. But the ups and downs of Alzheimer's, the good days and bad days, the denial and doubt, the hope that it will get better — all that makes for a treacherous emotional and intellectual journey. How do you help your mother if she claims she doesn't need help, and you desperately want to believe her?
As the adult children circle home, and their dedicated father struggles to take care of his beloved wife, fissures in the family appear. There are so many things that people don't want to say, or say and then regret, or say and forget, that even in the most loving homes, frustration and anger and pain arise. The cruel crux of this disease is in the details, the basic words you can't recall, the simple actions you can't complete, and finding a regular routine is hard. Banker's patient filmmaking allows unspoken ideas and daily activities to speak volumes about the family's fragile state, much the way the discovery of Marian's lesser-known paintings (a series of hidden avant garde oils) reveals a darker side to her genius. But the beauty of this film, and the hope for us all, is that through their suffering, the family finds joy and love and appreciation for their lives together.

Digital Bond's Bandolier project helps asset owners and vendors identify and audit optimal security configuration for industrial control system (ICS) servers and workstations. Digital Bond partners with leading ICS vendors to identify the optimal security configuration that still allows the vendor's product to operate properly. This requires access to the vendor's security experts, lead engineers and a test lab. Digital Bond then creates Bandolier Security Audit Files that work with the compliance plugin in the Nessus vulnerability scanner. Bandolier Security Audit Files are available for over twenty control system components, with more on the way.
- Defines optimal security configuration for SCADA and DCS servers and workstations
- Provides vendor-supported, customized security audit files for control system applications
- Provides a safe and effective way to audit the security of control system components
How it Works
- No client software, services, or agents are required on the control system server or workstation
- User uploads Bandolier Security Audit Files to the Nessus vulnerability scanner
- Nessus policy compliance plugins make a low impact connection to the ICS server or workstation
- Nessus uses built-in operating system functionality to compare the settings on the control system server to those defined in the Bandolier Security Audit File
- Nessus provides a report that shows whether each setting matched what is in the Bandolier Security Audit File
For asset owners and operators, the Bandolier Security Audit Files provide a way to verify that their systems are in an optimal, vendor-supported security configuration – both at the time of delivery to hold the vendors accountable and for ongoing, routine security auditing. In addition, the Bandolier reports provide valuable evidence for NERC CIP and other regulatory compliance requirements. Vendors like Telvent, AREVA, and OSIsoft are using Bandolier to help deliver hardened systems. They use Bandolier for acceptance testing and for routine security validation testing in the patch and update process.
The Bandolier Security Audit Files were initially developed with funding from the US Department of Energy. The DoE funding covered the first release of a Bandolier Security Audit File for each vendor. The vendors then continued funding of Bandolier for additional products and new versions of the products.
Additional Information and Links
There is a tremendous amount of documentation and other resources for the Bandolier Security Audit Files. The links below are some of the most commonly requested information and the files themselves.

Big box stores are vanishing like dust in the wind
Big box stores are vanishing like dust in the wind, to borrow the title of the hit by the group Kansas. Remember Circuit City, Linens 'n Things, and all those Blockbuster stores? Gone, gone and gone. Borders last month became the latest to turn to dust.
Stock analysts point to myriad reasons for their failure, but I believe only one really matters. The top managements of each of these chains realized too late how serious was the threat posed to their stores by the rise of e-retailing and responded weakly to upstart web merchants stealing their customers.
Even when they belatedly developed an online response they failed to give their web stores the same attention they lavished on their physical outlets, fruitlessly arguing that they had to protect massive investments they made in bricks and mortar. When online sales in all retail segments are growing at least three times faster than sales at stores, top managers of these defunct chains should have made the development of a competitive online channel their top priority. Because they did not, their customer bases continued to erode. Just as the big railroads missed the conversion to air travel, these chains defined retailing too narrowly and failed to adapt to the digital age.
Borders is a classic case. It built beautiful stores and paid a bundle to put them in prime locations. Its outlets featured huge collections of titles, not to mention a splendid list of music CDs. Barnes & Noble sells Starbucks coffee, but Borders stores often had superior cafes, where customers could lounge as they flipped pages and nibbled on scones. Its customer service was excellent and it invested in computer systems that allowed it to satisfy the particular reading preferences of customers in different markets.
The problem was that the chain's web site, Borders.com, was an afterthought, not launched until 2008. By then, Amazon.com, which built its online retailing empire by first selling books on the web in 1995, was not only the largest online seller of books but also the world's top online merchant, with sales this year approaching $50 billion. Where will you find Borders.com in the Internet Retailer 2011 Top 500 Guide ranking of online merchants? It's ranked #200 with web sales last year of just $75 million, so far behind Amazon in web book sales as to be irrelevant, but, more importantly, also well behind its major book chain rival, Barnes and Noble, which launched its web site just two years after Amazon began. BarnesandNoble.com boasts the 41st largest e-retailing business with web sales of $573 million last year.
For now, Barnes and Noble's survival as a bookstore chain seems assured with Borders demise. But its long-term survival surely rests on the priority it has placed on its web business, where it is investing $140 million this year alone. It developed that business in-house, instead of farming it out to Amazon, as Borders unbelievably did at first. When Amazon introduced its game-changing Kindle digital reader, Barnes & Noble responded with its Nook, which, unlike the Kindle, features color and a web browser. More than 25% of Nook buyers are new customers of Barnes & Noble.
Barnes & Noble is hardly the only big box chain to extend its life online. The web sites of Staples, Office Depot and Office Max rank #2, #5 and #9 respectively in the Top 500 Guide. Like all big box retailers, their stores are buffeted by the winds of change sweeping retailing. They just refuse to vanish like the dust in that wind.

Metabo PS 7500S Submersible Dirty Water Pump with Float Switch 5m Lift 7500L Hour Max Flow 450w 240vWhether tasked with clear or dirty water this pump has what it takes to get the job done, no messing! Even when visibility is next to nothing, it performs strongly thanks to first-class technology. Depending on the model, it extracts particle sizes up to 35 mm. Submersible down to a depth of seven metres and with a delivery height of up to eleven metres, it can handle conditions which many other pumps can not even touch. Features:- Perfect for pumping out, pumping dry and recirculating fresh or dirty water from containers, tanks, swimming pools or flooded cellars- Suitable for watering gardens and lawns from water reservoirs- Float switch for automatic mode- Level regulation of the float switch- Housing made of impact-proof plastic- For coarse grime of a particle size of up to 30 mm- Ergonomic carry handleIncludes:Angle connection piece with multi-adapterFloat switch Specifications:Power - 450 WattsMax. Delivery rate - 7500 l/hMax. Delivery height - 5 mMax. Submersible depth - 5 mMax. Pressure - 0.5 barFlat suction up to - n/aMax. particle size - 30 mmDischarge Port - 1 1/4" female threadPump housing - Tough plasticPower Cable - 10 mMax. particle size up to - 30 mm Weight - 4.8 kgAdditional information regarding Submersible Water PumpsClean Water Pumps:Generally clean water pumps are suitable for the drainage of cellars, sinks, cisterns, pools, baths and other general transfer of water. They are not suitable for outside ponds or other dirty water as they will only usually allow small particles to pass through. Most clean water pumps will allow suction to a very low level (normally within 5 - 10mm) before they cut out but remember this only applies if they have a float switch. Dirty Water Pumps:These are suitable for the drainage of most water types as they allow for a much larger particle types. Be aware however that they will usually drain water down to a level of between 25 - 50mm depending on the particle size that they allow for. Automatic cut out only applies if they have a float switch. Unless specified dirty water pumps are not suitable for agriculture type use or for drainage of water containing salt or other chemicals. The term 'dirty' in most cases applies to 'water contains small particles such as grit, sand, mud and small pebbles'.Considerations when buying a Submersible or Surface water pump:1. Particles over 1mm generally, can only pass through dirty water pumps. Always buy a pump that will allow the particle size that you require to flow through it.2. Float switches enable the pump to cut-out when the water reaches the minimum level at which the pump can operate without overheating. Clean water pumps can operate at a lower level than dirty water pumps as they do not have to account for particles being able to pass through the bottom of the pump. Pumps without a float or auto cut out type switch cannot run automatically and have to manually be controlled.3. Water pumps have differing flow rates so ensure you purchase a pump capable of transferring water at your desired speed; this is normally calculated as litres per second or litres per hour.4. The distance or height that a water pump is capable of moving water is known as the lift height use the following calculation to determine if the pump is suitable for your requirements:The maximum flow rate of a pump is directly affected by the height it has to lift the water. In general the flow rate will decrease as the lift height increases. Horizontal pumping distance is also affected use the formula Max Height - Working Height x 10 to determine the maximum horizontal distance the pump will be capable of.It is recommended that an RCD is always used with a submersible pump as should be the case whenever electrical products are used near water.Important:Most submersible pumps require a lay flay hose (except water butt pumps) which have a wider diameter than garden hose in order to drain the water without damaging the pump, to allow for particles (if applicable) and to allow for fast flow rates.

Has anyone figured out a solution for the rebooting solution yet? (excluding returning the phone, since, for me, is not an option) Is it software related? Hardware related? I'm pretty willing to try anything right about now, even a manual hardware fix ==" This problem has dragged on for way too long, and needs a solution :/
did u try the fixing paper at the back of the battery ??
Lots of people waiting for this fix......
and paper mechanism didn't works..
whether the problem is with Hardware or Software??????
Guys Help Us Plz!!!!
well you should return it if possible ..might be a faulty product
I've tried the buffer, folding the paper in heaps of different ways, still doesn't work.
Yeah I got a replacement!!!
Thanks to all Especially Mr. Shankar Sony Centre Cennai and Service centre persons..
Have you tried to update the software with PC Companion?
In the program you click on Support Zone > Start (below update).
If a newer software is not available you should repair the software instead.
This is done at Support Zone > Start > Repair the phone.
(The phone should not be connected when doing this. The program will tell you when to connect the phone.)
Also, try to start the phone without a SIM card or at least with a different one. The same goes for the SD card.
If this won't fix your problem you need to contact your dealer and ask for assistance with sending the phone to an authorized repair centre. I know you write that this is not an option but if the software update/repair won't fix your problem (and it's not SIM/SD related) there's nothing else to do unfortunately.
This is an known bug for Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V and these people not trying to fix this bug...they still go with some assumptions...they made some instruction like below and whoever report this bug, they sent this....this they started last week....Prior to last week they have the solution of software update...don't know what they come up with next week....
Keep away from SE products...
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre.
We are sorry to hear your Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V is turning off and restarting by itself.
We would first suggest that you remove the battery and memory card from your Sony Ericsson handset for approximately thirty seconds and then place the only battery back in your handset and power it on.
If after trying this, your phone works as intended then this suggests a fault with your memory card or with some content on the memory card causing the problems. We would therefore suggest that you format the memory card which you can do by following the steps below:
1. Open the Menu
2. Select Settings
3. Scroll to Storage
4. Tap Unmount SD Card > Erase SD Card/Factory Data Reset
5. Confirm the format
This is not a 'known issue' as far as I am informed. I have not received any internal information saying so.
Since there's no such information we have to assume this could be caused by a lot of different things (sw, hw, SIM, SD card, 3rd party apps etc.) and we will therefore troubleshoot according to that assumption. Hope you understand this.
Markus you are doing it the wrong way. A "known issue" is the information you should learn from external sources eg USERS, unless you have a guy, there at sony, whose job is to open every box and check every phone for at least a week. By now, birds on the trees have learned that a number of neoVs have restarting problem (that cant be fixed with anything known to users, including everything you think they didn't already try like updating/removing cards etc). YOU should be the one passing the information to sony and the sooner you start listening to users and stop denying the existence of the problem the sooner will engineers/programmers start fixing the issue. If you are waiting for your boss to tell you that there is problem with neoV i can tell you that that won't happen anytime soon cause he is probably using arcS and even if he was using neoV he might have been lucky and got the non-restarting one.
You brand new car's engine is cutting out constantly, it's all over the web, some have this problem some dont, but the car's manufacture's Michael-BMWanswers guy is telling you he has no information on that issue and does not give two cents for the fact you that cant drive to the work and you are in danger of losing your job.Think about it.Now go tell someone to come out with a fix for the phone.

LOL, what they think is girly! Lovely card! Buttercup worked so well for the theme. Creative and fun card- love it!
What a fun card! Guess your boys will have to do their own manly one.
Loving the template idea! Great card. TFS
Very pretty design. The color scheme keeps it manly. I love the tags the alpha sits on, and the circles and butterflies too. Great Card.

Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965 was enacted to provide Federal assistance for a program to strengthen and improve the academic quality, strengthen the administrative capacity, and establish an endowment fund in order to achieve growth and self-sufficiency for developing institutions. Amendments to the Act have altered some of the elements of the program, but it remains basically as written-an instrument to provide assistance to institutions demonstrating a constructive effort to strengthen themselves.
Title III has funded project activities designed to help meet various strategic goals of the University. Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, authorizes these grants to strengthen institutions in the areas of Academic Quality, Fiscal Stability, Student Services, and the quality of Institutional Management. MVSU is the recipient of three federal grants that are managed by the Title III office. They include the Title III HBCU Program, the Mandated/SAFRA (formerly College Cost Reduction Act Allocation/CCRAA) and the Master's Degree Program.

UPDATE: LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Tuesday determined that teen actress Ariel Winter's mother should not regain custody of the Modern Family star and the 14-year-old should remain in her sister's care for the next several weeks.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas issued the ruling after considering a report by child protective investigators that was critical of Winter's mother, Chrisoula Workman. The report found there was evidence of emotional abuse toward Winter, Levanas said, and the agency planned to step in and take its own action if Winter did not remain in a guardianship.
The ruling comes more than six weeks after Workman was temporarily stripped of custody amid allegations she had been physically and emotionally abusive to Winter.
Levanas said the investigators' report found that claims of physical abuse were inconclusive, but an attorney for Winter's sister said they could be proven in a subsequent report. The judge set a Dec. 12 trial date to determine whether Winter should be placed in a permanent guardianship.
Winter has been under the care of her sister, Shanelle Gray, since early October. Levanas said that if the case remains in his courtroom, he will make sure the family works toward reconciliation.
"I guarantee if it stays here, it will get better," the judge said. He said the Department of Children and Family Services could still chose to file its own case, which would remove it from his jurisdiction.
Winter's mother has denied all accusations that she was abusive to her daughter.
Winter's father, Glenn Workman, also filed an objection to the guardianship late Monday, stating he wants a better relationship with his daughter and would be willing to care for her.ade into the messy family dynamics of teen actress Ariel Winter and determine whether the Modern Family star should stay away from her mother, who has been described in court filings as physically and emotionally abusive.
Original story:
At a hearing Tuesday, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas will consider whether the 14-year-old should continue living with her sister, who has temporary guardianship of the actress.
The judge will have more information to consider than he did on Oct. 3, when he temporarily stripped Chrisoula Workman of custody of her daughter. Workman has denied all accusations of abuse and filed more than two dozen declarations from friends, acquaintances, stylists and others who say they've never witnessed any abuse.
MORE: Winter's mother denies abuse allegations
Winter's father, Glenn Workman, also filed an objection to the guardianship late Monday, stating he wants a better relationship with his daughter and would be willing to care for her.
Winter has been in the care of her adult sister, Shanelle Gray, who was removed from Chrisoula Workman's care in the 1990s amid accusations of abuse. Chrisoula Workman contends Gray was a rebellious teen who left home and that she is contending with a similar situation with Winter, who has been acting since age 7 and currently stars as Alex Dunphy on the hit ABC series "Modern Family."
People on the show's set are concerned about Winter's wellbeing and have been sneaking her food, according to in-court statements by Gray's attorney, Michael Kretzmer.
Gray's filing states Chrisoula Workman has repeatedly slapped Winter and engaged in emotional abuse, including name-calling.
"The allegations made by Ariel are false," said Chrisoula Workman's attorney Anita Gumm. "We really feel she's just a rebellious teen and wants her independence. It's our hope that the court terminates the guardianship. Both parents want Ariel home. Shanelle is not suitable to be a guardian."
Glenn Workman's filing Monday does not address the abuse allegations, but states he believes his daughter should be returned to live with Chrisoula Workman, or that he be allowed to raise her.
"I want to provide for her a calm loving home environment that is a retreat from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood; a place where she can think and relax without any distractions," Glenn Workman wrote. "This whole situation has turned into a circus and places Ariel in a position she should not have to be in."
Kretzmer declined to comment on Glenn Workman's filing.
He has previously told The Associated Press that it is unfortunate that the case became public, but that Winter was removed from her mother's custody for good reasons. "The court granted a temporary guardianship, and I think any rational person will realize that the court simply doesn't see the sky falling but has some basis for granting a temporary guardianship," he said last week.
During a contentious court hearing Workman lashed out at Gray, called Kretzmer a moron and accused Winter of screaming her and hitting her.
"I think what we've got is a situation that's not healthy, at least for a temporary ... basis," Levanas said in early October. He ordered child welfare workers to conduct an investigation and appointed an attorney to represent Winter's interests.
Workman's attorney has also scheduled a deposition of Gray for early December, and a review of Winter's finances will be conducted. Currently, Gray has no access to Winter's money, some of which should be in a special account meant to protect the earnings of child actors.
Gumm and Workman have cited Gray's finances as a reason why she should not be granted guardianship of her sister. But Kretzmer denied last week that money was an issue in the case.
"There's no truth whatsoever to Shanelle obtaining this guardianship for purposes of advancing her career or for some other personal gain," Kretzmer said. "Shanelle is successful and has done very well in her own rights. This is a tragedy for her, too."
Winter has been acting since age 7, appearing in several TV series, including ER and Phineas and Ferb, and movies such as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Ice Age: The Meltdown and ParaNorman.
