NEW ALBANY – Baptist Memorial Hospital-Union County officials are asking the Mississippi State Department of Health to authorize a new emergency department.
If the state approves Baptist's certificate of need application, the plans calls for a $12 million, 20,000-square-foot extension on the south side of the hospital. Rather than expand on the existing emergency room, it would give the department a completely new facility with 22 patient examination rooms compared to the existing seven rooms.
Hospital Administrator Walter Grace said BMH-UC now averages several hours faster than the national average for emergency visits but that more rooms will improve even that time.
"We see patients on average for about two-and-a-half hours, start to finish," he said. "We'll be able to see more patients more efficiently."
The plan is not aimed at changing BMH-UC's trauma center rating, Grace said. Like the majority of hospitals in Northeast Mississippi, it is rated Level IV. (Hospitals in Corinth, Oxford and Starkville have Level III trauma centers, while the one at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo is rated Level II.)
What is pushing the need for expansion is growth in the number of patients seen.
"We're on track to have about ER 25,000 visits this year," Grace said. "It's growing about 7 to 10 percent a year."
The planned addition will take over what is now physician parking and move the emergency entrance to the south (back) side of the hospital.
"It'll be a brand-new, one-story facility," Grace said. He added that plans have not been made yet for how to use the existing emergency department space.
Any proposed timeline for the project is necessarily a flexible one.
"We hope to be able to build in nine to 18 months assuming we get approval from the state," Grace said. "But nothing is certain yet. This is all preliminary."

At up to 130 miles per hour, you'd barely be able to see blades of grass passing by, much less cut it.
No wonder that Honda calls it the world's fastest lawn mower.
The Mean Mower, its proper name, is an adaptation of the HF2620 lawn tractor. Besides having a powerful engine, it is built extra light as well.
Actually, it can't cut at freeway speeds. It needs to slow to 15 mph to cut a lawn. Although that sounds paltry, it's twice the speed of a normal mower.
Don't expect it go to on sale. This one is just for demonstration and publicity purposes.
It only can be found only in Honda's United Kingdom operation, where the company has no problem with innovation. It's already selling a robotic lawn mower, a product that Honda is only testing the for the U.S.

What's New
"Special Occasion Permits are for the sale and service of beverage alcohol at special occasions such as weddings, charity fundraisers, receptions etc. Special Occasion Permits are issued through Liquor Control Board of Ontario ("LCBO") SOP service stores throughout the province on behalf of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario ("AGCO")."
As of July 1, 2012, changes to Regulation 389 of the Liquor Licence Act governing SOPs are in effect. These changes represent the third installment of the modernization of the SOP program, with previous changes having been implemented in June and August 2011. For more information on these changes, please visit our website page: Special Occasion Permit Reform.
An SOP is required if you are planning to sell or serve alcohol at special occasions, such as weddings, charity fundraisers and receptions. An SOP is needed any time alcohol is offered for sale or served anywhere other than in a licensed establishment or a private place (for example, a private office or a residence).
There are three types of special occasions for which a permit may be issued:
The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming may impose one or more AGCO-Board approved conditions on a Special Occasion Permit to mitigate identified risks to public safety or the public interest (see Conditions).
A monetary penalty may be assessed against a permit holder by the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming for breaches of the Liquor Licence Act and Regulations (see Schedule of Monetary Penalties).
A Special Occasion Permit may be issued for an event at a licensed establishment. The applicant and the event type would need to meet the legislated criteria. Some considerations include purchasing the alcohol for the event under the authority of the SOP and not from the licence holder, and the conditions applied to the licence of that particular establishment would continue to apply under the SOP.
An applicant in the process of acquiring a Liquor Sales Licence may also apply for one (1) SOP to host a "grand opening" event while waiting to receive their Liquor Sales Licence.
A "private place" is defined as an indoor place to which the public is not ordinarily invited or permitted and is not available for rent to the public for occasional use. A company´s private boardroom is an example of a "private place".
An SOP is not required for a function at a "private place" if there is no sale of alcohol and the event is held only for invited guests.
However, if alcohol is being sold in a "private place", an SOP is always required unless the event is already being held under the authority of a caterer´s endorsement.
There are two classes of Special Occasion Permits available:
Permit applications must be submitted to an LCBO SOP service store at least 30 days before the event takes place, except for Private Events which require a minimum of 10 days notice.
For outdoor events, the permit holder must write to the local municipality, police, and fire and health departments notifying them of the event. The building department must be notified as well if a tent, marquee, pavilion or tiered seating is used. This notification must be provided at least 30 days before the event takes place if fewer than 5,000 people per day are expected to attend the event, or at least 60 days before the event takes place if 5,000 people per day or more are expected to attend the event.
The permit area must be clearly defined and separated from the area(s) where the SOP does not apply by a minimum 36" (0.9 metres) high partition.
Once an SOP is issued, all alcohol for the event must be purchased under the permit from an authorized government retail store (such as an LCBO, an LCBO Agency Store, The Beer Store or any Winery, Brewery or Distillery Store). One exception is the service of homemade wine or beer for religious events (see FAQs - Question 10).
Manufacturers are permitted to donate alcohol only to eligible charitable organizations holding a Public Event SOP. All alcohol donated must be processed as a sale under the permit number and a receipt must be retained by the permit holder and be available for inspection. For more information regarding donating alcohol, contact the AGCO at 416-326-8700 or toll free 1-800-522-2876.
For more detailed information about SOPs, download our Application for a Special Occasion Permit Form and Guide (PDF available below).
You can download the SOP application located below or obtain an application form from any LCBO store. The completed application, with appropriate alcohol licensing fees, may be hand-delivered to any designated LCBO SOP Service Store.

"I love these Sandals. The metallic elements to the sandal really make it stand out!"

Sturdy, cute sandal
"These sandals are absolutely adorable. I bought the tan version and have worn them several times. They're a great neutral, basic sandal with a little extra punch. They are more substantial than sandals I often purchase, which hopefully means they'll last longer than a season (I suspect they will).I have rather flat feet, so shoes are typically a bit narrow on me; these aren't so narrow that they're uncomfortable--I'd say they're true to size. In terms of comfort, they're fine. I didn't get any blisters from them or need to break them in, but they don't provide a ton of arch support.Overall, I'd definitely recommend them!"

Comfy Pretty Sandal
"This sandal fits perfectly so order your true size. I haven't worn them out yet (just tried them walking around the house) since I just got the order but I'm hoping that the glitter on the shoes will last a while and the shoe itself will last for more than one season."

In Defense of Jay Feaster...Sort Of
March 31 2013 10:57AM
Henry Ford once said that customers were free to buy a car in any colour they wanted - so long as it was black.
This approach to buyer's choice is somewhat analogous to the options faced by Jay Feaster in the Iginla trade. There was really only one option in the end and Feaster had be content with it, because Ray Shero wasn't going to offer more than he felt he had to and Jarome Iginla had made the decision that he wanted to go to Pittsburgh.
Iginla was a highly-coveted asset by several teams, reportedly Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston and Pittsburgh. He had a No Trade Clause on his contract and from the very beginning no trade was going to happen unless Jarome Iginla wanted it to. Iginla was also the most valuable asset the Flames have had to trade in a generation, the fan sentiment ran deep and the clock was ticking. Bruce Arther has an article up recently outlining some of the drama here.
Hands Tied
Jay Feaster was never really in a position of strength. In fact, he was quickly relegated to the role of facilitator, a match-maker just trying to get the two parties together and taking a small commission fee for his effort.
Opposing GMs knew this and they knew that if they were in negotiations that it was likely that Iginla had okay'd a trade to their desitination, thereby limiting the number of open buyers.
Kent had a good article up prior to the trade that outlined the potential trade packages of those teams according to their local media members. Faced with that, and the impending unrestricted free agent Iginla would become this July, no GM appeared willing to offer up the proverbial king's ransom Feaster had requested (reportedly a 1st round pick, a roster player and a good prospect). Instead the best offer reportedly came from the Bruins - that being Khokhlachev, Bartkowski and a 1st round draft pick that Chiarelli later confirmed was guaranteed and not conditional.
All in all, that wouldn't be that bad a return when weighed against the eventual winner's bid.
Hanowski, Agostino and a 1st round pick became the return for Iginla and the Flames book of genesis geneologies (Nilsson begat Nieuwendyk who begat Iginla...) has likely stopped at Jarome.
Feaster has an underwhelming track record in trading assets, and it should be remembered that he never really had the upper hand in these trade negotiations at any point. He had to trade the most important Flame in franchise history, everybody knew it, and the player decided which team he wanted to go to. There are no gentleman's rules in NHL management anymore. Ray Shero knew he could get Iginla at a low cost to his team and he refused to overpay.
Feaster is now left trying to sell off the remaining assets of the Flames who can undoubtedly see the writing on the wall and know that a rebuild is coming, in spite of what Feaster or anyone else in management says to the contrary.
Take 'em To the Pawn Shop
Those assets include Michael Cammalleri, Jay Bouwmeester, Miikka Kiprusoff and perhaps even Alex Tanguay. With the exception of Bouwmeester (on account of age, an extra year remaining on his contract and the paucity of top defensemen available by trade) they are all of lesser value than Iginla. Three have clauses that limit their trade options and the fourth (Kipper) has, for all intents and purposes, put an ad hoc one into place.
Feaster and John Weisbrod have also been adamant that they will not pursue a traditional rebuild and as such are likely to place a priority on receiving prospects or roster players in trade returns over draft picks. This isn't to say that picks won't be included or requested, but rather that the majority of their focus in requesting assets will be spent on warm bodies coming back.
A draft pick is something of a nebulous asset to many GMs at this time of year because the value is delayed relative to real player assets, and as such can have a diminished value to a buying team outside of a top-5 pick (which are almost never dealt). A player or prospect is someone into whom a team has invested time and energy, and who may be useful for a playoff run and therefore may be held at a premium at the trade deadline.
If Jay Feaster attempts to trade Jay Bouwmeester he is immediately behind the proveribal 8-ball. Bouwmeester has a prohibitive cap hit for next year, when the cap is set to drop. Bouwmeester also has a NTC, so any interested GM will know that Feaster is in a position of weakness and will attempt to exploit it.
This isn't to say that Feaster is going to sell off the remainder of the Flames tradeable assets this season and get routinely taken to the woodshed, but instead one needs to recognize that the Iginla deal may be a benchmark of achievable player values for this season. Bouwmeester may be worth more by trade, but it is unlikely to be to such an extent as to make the Iginla trade any more palatable.
In order to maximise the return on a player like Jay Bouwmeester the Flames would be best to get him to waive his NTC to a number of teams in advance, agree to retain up to 50% of the salary cap hit for this season and next, and then prioritize the asset types for return. Focus on one type of asset, be it picks or prospects, and limit the range of return in order to attain the greater quality. The Flames need to make Bouwmeester the most desireable asset on the market for the teams feeling the pressure to keep pace with the Penguins.
I'm not going to go into specifics about what the returns for these players could be. Prior to Wednesday I would never have guessed that Iginla would be moved for the package Feaster received. But I do think that there are times to move players, and this may not be the best time to shop players like Cammalleri, Bouwmeester or others.
The blood is in the water around the Flames. Feaster would be best served to be patient at this point and let the scales balance out a little more in his favour.

How ironic that Sid is out indefinitely after iggys first game. Guess they won't play together after all. Now that Pitt has 8 mill off the books til he's back, maybe they'll trade for cammi.
its karma biting them in the ass, hnic even brought up the question of how much sidney enticed jayrome to pittsville

I don't think it takes tampering to get an aging winger to sign on to a team with two of the best centers in hockey. He has been without a real center all his career, now he has two great ones. I don't think a call from Crosby was heavily influential.
Iggy did similar things for Jokinen and Tanguay I think. No different.
Calling Crosby's injury karma smacks of sour grapes.

relax dude, i was joking around. however sid was a big factor in prince iggy's selection. frankly i dont care what happens its all entertainment.
@Veggie Dog
I'm fine with the karma suggestion. Personally I think Pitt loses to Chicago anyways. I don't give a rats whether iggy gets a cup either! It's all about our flames and the future. He has loads of cash and can go hide in Jamaica or something every yr when he loses. All I want is stacks of picks!
Thought there would be more trades this weekend! Jays probably sacked out on the couch after cooked ham for Easter and not answering calls! "Get in my belly"
I'm more in the side of burning sensation. While the feast hasn't had the best situation, he also hasn't been awful. I actually think jay's best moment was the erixon trade. He was over a barrell but read sathers position well and did good.
and IMO, I'm convinced that chirelli had a Conditional first and after getting screwed over called it unconditional just so the fan base would go after Jay. All of TSN had the deal reported correctly, its not like they messed up on the players involved too right?
as for judging on results, that's accurate, but to an extent. Jay was given the mandate to win with what he had, and not to trade anymore draft picks if possible. When you have a mediocre team and no prospects, you can't exactly go and make any good moves. So your roster stays the same and that's that.
I will say he did do an average job in his tenure so far.
The title says it all. Ask yourself how many times we see the need to come to defense when speaking of Ken Holland or other exemplary GMs? Feaster and King need to go. Nothing positive will happen until they do.
Exactly. The fact that we had to have two separate blogs up in the last month with virtually the same title tells you that there is a big problem.
Both have to do with potential gaffes as opposed to the general suckage of the Flames. Which means if you really want to defend Feaster you would need at least a third.
"Defending Jay Feaster: Why it isn't his fault the Flames have been horrible despite assurances from the GM that the team would be competitive".
Seriously people. Your stuck in the weeds and missing the big picture. It is the type of thing only local fans do. They look at the detail until it tells them what they want it to tell them. Its a bad perspective.
Anyone outside of Calgary (and thus out of the weeds) are looking at the results and can tell you we need a new leader in Calgary.

"Lastly, I'm going to bet that one of either Hanowski or Agostino pans out as a regular 2nd line NHL winger. Both guys are absolutely on fire right now in the NCAA playoffs, and I for one look forward to seeing what they bring to the table."
After St. Cloud's win today both Hanowski and Agostino are moving on to the Final Four!!! Leading their teams past much more hyped prospects and teams gets them big points in my books!!!
As for the people saying Hanowski might test the Free Agent waters... I highly doubt we have trouble inking him to an entry level deal. Only two much more celebrated prospects Schultz and Wheeler in recent memory have walked on teams. Look at it from Hanowski's perspective a few days ago his rights were held by a team with a much deeper system in the eastern conference. He is now a Top. 10 Prospect with us and is much closer to Minnesota in Calgary.
Thanks for the updates McRib. I'm hoping Weisbrod's background pays off in this instance. Admittedly, there's a fair degree in difference of opinion on these 2 prospects.
Wow, this thing reminds me of a Monty Python movie. "Bring out your dead" Feaster raises his head in the wheel barrell "I'm not dead yet" Then Sincity, Derzie & Wolf hit him over the head with clubs. Must I remind everyone, we have 3 days left to the trade deadline. We "need" to make trades in the next 3 days. We "need" to be ready for the biggest draft this franchise is going to have in years. Lets talk about Feasters successor in July. Wolf has said it right, the first step was trading Iggy, the return is more or less irrelevant. Those who think not naming a Captain now means Iggy is coming back, think again. Whats the point of naming a Captain when they're traded or rumoured to be traded in 3 days. We got 15 more games, we cant win more than 5 so lets get our eyes on the target, OK guys?
@Kevin R
Agreed and with Flames' PR lately being the disaster it is, you can't fire Feaster yet. Wait until end of season-ish.
No matter who the Flames have hired in the past 20 some years as a GM they all have their flaws. The only thing which is in common with Feaster, Sutter, Button, Coates, and Risebrough is they never assembled a strong scouting staff and neglected to develop players. The scouting record speaks for itself.
Interesting enough the owners spends to the cap, pays the coaches and GM well enough, however until Feaster came on board as GM for this organization the scouting staff was grossly understaffed and they had no idea or clue how to develop young talent. I know if I was President of this team I would hire the best hockey operations guy that money can buy and from there the best "bird dogs" as well.
Every GM in the history of this game have had their fair share of mistakes and successes, but in fairness the ones who last longer seem to find a good balance between the two. Right now Feaster is a GM who has inherited a team which have more flaws then he even realizes. Both ownership and management were seriously convinced that nothing was wrong with this team until this season.. Funny how when a player is drafted their is always talk about improvement. Well in the past 20 years has there been improvement from the management side with this team? If fingers are going to be pointed shouldn't ownership be evaluated and scrutinized as well?
As much as Rex makes his point in this article, I can't defend Feaster after the moves he's made in the past 20 or so months.
Signing Babchuk and Sarich with a degree of urgency and giving them NTC's was a terrible decision. Spitting out guarantees about playoffs and prospects was stupid and unnecessary, and hiding from the public after what appeared to be a gigantic offer sheet gaffe is just plain weak.
Elliotte Friedman's article on the Iginla trade a few days ago was bang on, Iggy controlled the trade so getting Pittsburghs best in return wasn't gonna happen, but at the same time, this organization can't do anything without controversy or confusion.
Craig Button was a terrible GM, Darryl Sutter was better yet still terrible, and Jay Feaster seems under qualified when compared to these other GM's making real moves and keeping their mouth shut.
Meddling ownership is the bigger problem here, I can't think of a solution for that unfortunately.
March 31 2013, 11:24PM
Good article Rex. The biggest problem I have when evaluating Jay Feaster is that I always find myself wondering how much of the decision making is/was truly his and how much of it is the mandate that has been placed upon him by the owner(s) and/or president.
But admittedly his loose lips and bravado at times have certainly not helped his cause.
Move as many parts as you can between now and the deadline and hope for a top 3 pick at the draft.
I have to disagree with your Jankowski comments. There are virtually no sure things in any draft and saying that drafting janko was stupid because there were other sure fire picks. I just can't agree with that, you can draft all the "nhl ready...ish" guys you want but most of those guys are physically mature and have already hit their ceilings and don't move on or only play a handful of games. There is no can't miss in most drafts. You always try to take the best player you see regardless of how long it takes to develop a player. There are no quick fixes for the flames through the draft and in 5 years if you pass on players you wanted to pick and didn't because someone could step into a 4th line role today well then you'll be kicking yourself. Even the top 3 picks in a draft aren't sure things for greatness. Just saying that prospects can't even be close to being judged yet till they either get to the big show or fail out. Do you think you would have gotten Eberle if he was judged a can't miss? No how many players before him in the draft are going to go nowhere? K I just looked and that was a pretty good draft year but still...he's way above most of the guys on that list.
@Rex - thanks. Amazes me how some fans on here still view everything with the Flames through rose and gold colored glasses.
That said, I probably disagree about JBo. He's a legit top pairing D who can probably play for another decade and although it would be mistake to trade him as a rental, Flames can afford to wait until the summer if the right offer is not there.
@chilling - I wouldn't call Teravainen 4th line material. While one can argue that no player is a sure thing, that same logic applies to Janko. So why pick the 5 year project then? You cam say Flames liked him best, sure, but that's am awful lot of projection for a team with very few prospects.
That said, I really hope Janko works out and have never knocked him. It's just an odd move for a team in the Flames' situation is all. Then again, Feaster seems to specialize in the odd.
Good article Rex. The biggest problem I have when evaluating Jay Feaster is that I always find myself wondering how much of the decision making is/was truly his and how much of it is the mandate that has been placed upon him by the owner(s) and/or president.
But admittedly his loose lips and bravado at times have certainly not helped his cause.
Move as many parts as you can between now and the deadline and hope for a top 3 pick at the draft.
Yes, same here and agreed if the return is there.
That said, overall he I give him a failing grade.
I am very impressed with all the great comments on this forum. A true testiment to the writers who attract intelligent hockey buffs.
Leaning towards rationality like most of you, may I suggest for the reality that any team's recent fortunes or miscues are related to historical player aquisition / development management dating back as much or as little as five years.
Judging by the past 5 years, Feaster had ample proof of a horific down trend. He either signed on to an ownership pipe dream or thinks he's a magician. There is probably some truth to both. Either way, I'm sure he's reflecting on his exit interview with Brent. He knew there was no way this team had an opportunity without a rebuild.
Proof is in the pudding, in terms of asset managment for attempting to tread above water, you don't let a valued tough minute munching center walk in Jokinen and throw a hail mary at Cervenka as a notable replacement.
From all optics, Feaster is playing too many narratives while some of which I would be lost in deciphering the lies, from ownership tampering to ineptitude.
I would give all of the above a discerning brow if they think I was allured by any of their lipstick, bubble gum & nonsense that has been trotted out.
It's over and if you think you can have a balance attack into the mod to late rounds in the playoffs, you need at least two super-stars coupled with balance throughout your secondary and depth infrastructure. It's silly how simple it really is.
The most pathetic notion of Feaster is that being a basement dweller for a few seasons like Edmonton is a futule excersize. Edmonton is a great case study of a team that held on to playoff hopes for too long and fell off a cliff. He seems to think that he would have navigated that strategy better. Guess what Edmonton is an example of what not to do while teams like Pitt, Chi, La built sound rosters with all neccesary tangibles. Weren't they the winners of 3 recent cups?
Its blasphemy I tell you. There is merit to submerging for a few intervals like the above teams did, but Feaster may not be a developmental strategist. His trotted out media bravado rests on no correlation to a strategist that needs at 5 years to show results. Clearly he thinks his strategy is fool proof as his brashly articulated forecasting would suggest. Bravo for him if confidence supercedes success. He's shot himself in the foot in terms of my optics. Arrogance and bravado only gets you attention. Sadly without success its just hot air.
I suspect the hot air balloon has already burst and is racing down yo the tundra. Ownership may however grant lenience based on servitude, but alas, all we know is that things are very dysfunctional in Flames land. Until ownership and management have the courage to look in the mirror for the culprits, expect thr mismanagement of assets to continue for at least another 1-3 years. And by then, kiss another 10 years of contention goodbye instead of retooling in 5.
Great blog FN, Cheers.

To mix in a bit of good news, the Flames have signed Tyler Wotherspoon to a three-year, $925,000 entry level contract.
April 01 2013, 08:28AM
@Scary Gary
So, back to what, 49 players under contract?
@Franko J
"No matter who the Flames have hired in the past 20 some years as a GM they all have their flaws. The only thing which is in common with Feaster, Sutter, Button, Coates, and Risebrough is they never assembled a strong scouting staff and neglected to develop players. The scouting record speaks for itself."
Totally agreed. It sure is painful when you put those five together. My god.
April 01 2013, 08:59AM
I keep hearing that Feaster NEEDS to make all theses trades before the deadline. I respectfully disagree. He could just as easily move Jaybo, Cammi, etc at the draft instead of rushing to unload them by the deadline. Iggy was the only one we were going to lose. That being said, I think Feaster is in the drivers seat right now (NTC's aside). There are players on the Flames that could help other teams in the playoffs. If he doesn't get the offer he wants, he can just wait until the offseason. The urgency is on the other teams to improve by the deadline. That may drive up the asking price.
April 01 2013, 09:23AM
But if they truly believe Jankowski has the highest upside at that point, they made the right choice Rex.
Taking the safe bet is what cause this franchise to be sitting at this point right now. Taking player with limited upside but with a good chance to play in the NHL is no way for a team with no legitimate home runs in 20 years, to buck that trend.
There isn't a single player in the previous 10 picks or after Jankowski that have any high end upside, or upside higher than his.
So that's a moot point really.
April 01 2013, 09:36AM
Feaster on the Iggy options: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobson's_choice
I really wonder about Wisebrod sometimes, what is his hard on for NCAA players out of the Boston area. I like the approach, only in part due to the lack of viable options for making up ground within the NHL itself, and/or the lack of teams willing to deal with the org (see: burnt bridges). Are they simply out of other options? or are they on a magic bean hunt? either way, I'm not sold.
Also, Tod Button, how the @#$% does he still have a job??? I mean really??? and a related side note - Is Craig still towing the company line?? it certainly seemed like it during TSN's botched Iggy trade coverage, it was almost embarrassing to watch at times.
Doesn't the new CBA allow a team to eat a portion of the contract for a traded player? Back to Rexlibris point, if the Flames ate $1.6 something million of JBo salary for next year, you would have a $5 million d man....That would make JBo much easier to move, and likely produce a better return.
Don't think I disagreed with you on Bouwmeester. Although there was an article I read just this week looking at the advanced stats, specifically WOWY, on Bouwmeester which found that this season his partners have actually suffered when playing with him.
Giordano has had the upper hand in that category this year, by all accounts.
I think Bouwmeester could have a long career ahead of him, but he needs to be re-cast as a defenseman. He is more of a shut-down player now with a solid 1st pass out of the zone. In many ways he is like a Ryan Whitney with elite skating ability. If Bouwmeester were being paid $5 million I think the Flames could move him in a heartbeat (NTC aside). The $6.8 million against a declining cap, and NTC, saps a considerable amount of value in trade.
Finding the right team to take him and offer up relative value is going to be tricky. A move at the draft may be the best bet where a team can acquire him based on their projected abilities rather than current standings (Philadelphia as an example).
I do agree that there is no hurry to move Jay Bo before the deadline. But, the Flames are in a position to eat some of that cap hit. If they were to consider that, I think there are LOTS of teams interested. We could get a very handsome return right now.

I respectfully disagree. We are about to formally head down the rebuild path. You need to acquire as many high picks as possible & this is the time you get GM's, even good ones willing to pay prospects & picks for needs for a playoff run. To do nothing would ve absolutely insane.
April 01 2013, 10:34AM
@supra steve
Yep 49. I imagine we'll be moving some contracts for draft picks and prospects by Wednesday.
Comeau, McGrattan, Byron, Begin, McDonald, (Nemisz, Aliu, Irving, Kolanos, etc), and Carson all come off the books at the end of the year. We then have to sign our two new college prospects and Ramo among others.
Man I'd love to get another first rounder and a couple second if we could.
April 01 2013, 11:14AM
Agree. How could BOS hold a grudge for missing out on Iggy if they now have a shot at Glencross (who at this point is a better player, in his prime, and on a great contract)?
@Scary Gary
Comeau, McGrattan, Byron, Begin, McDonald, (Nemisz, Aliu, Irving, Kolanos, etc), and Carson all come off the books at the end of the year. We then have to sign our two new college prospects and Ramo among others
This looks like an opportunity to drop a number of marginal contracts; McGratton, Byron, Begin, Carson gone for sure, if Kipper retires you might have to keep one of McDonald/Irving short term (insurance), otherwise both gone, Nemisz I might resign for 1 year and try as a fourth liner, but his prospects looks marginal. Aliu and Kolanos, depends on Abbotsford needs.
To begin, I hope nobody here actually believes that I would defend Feaster as a hockey executive beyond this point: he had virtually no say in the Iginla trade, so judge him on his other moves and let this one go.
Somebody earlier mentioned the Flames organization operating in a cloud of controversy these past few years. I'd like to expand on that a little if I may.
Remember the official tweet from the Calgary Flames account last year that said, and I quote: "$10 million over two years for Hemsky is the funniest thing I've heard in a long, long time. I hope it happens. #whatajoke". Then we can add on the comment about referring to the Oilers as wandering in the desert. Or perhaps we can go back to the Darryl Sutter days when the Flames arranged to have a private session for players and family members to receive the H1N1 vaccine ahead of the general public and high-risk individuals.
The Flames as an organization, though not the players necessarily or as any reflection on their fans, have some systemic character issues. For several years now there have been incidences that speak to an intolerable level of arrogance. All of it entirely unearned.
There are problems in this organization, outside of on-ice talent, that one season of losing will not fix. I question whether three or even four would be enough to correct these internal issues.
Good job Rex on hitting the proverbial nail on the head.
If you look back on good teams, good organizations, and especially when the Flames were considered one of the classiest organizations in the league it all flowed down from ownership.
Ilitch and his personality have a huge impact on how the Detroit Red Wings operate as an organization. The original Flames ownership group had that same impact to the Flames. They were happy being hockey fans, the understood that they were great in their respective fields but made sure that they hired hockey people to run the hockey team. They believed that the end goal was to win the Stanley Cup and that was what needed to motivate each and every decision.
Why are the Flames the joke of the league now? Because of the change in ownership. Because of Murray Edwards. I do not doubt that Edwards is a very smart guy, and what he has done with CNRL is very impressive. But the same heavy handed approach that you use in oil and gas companies is not going to work the same in an entertainment industry like the NHL. Owners need to hire the best hockey people possible and then back away and let them work. They can evaluate their progress towards the end goal, but they should never hinder or interfere in the daily operations.
Ken King has a reputation that has few that have worked with him wanting to go back for seconds. He is a hatchet and fire control type of manager that manages with both hands directly in any situation. His hiring would not have been necessary had the ownership not have hired that idiot Bremner to create PR spin for an organization that could not keep up with a poor Canadian dollar. King was needed at the time to fix the donkey show that Bremner and Button had created, but his shelf life is three years tops and the Flames organization would be in much better shape had he been let go of at the end of 2004. Sutter needed some hockey people to help keep him in check and King is not one of those people.
The Flames organization needs King to move upwards or onwards. It needs Edwards to hire a proper hockey person to be the president. And it needs to hire a general manger that does more than talk in circles while achieving nothing.
I am not a big Burke fan. I think that he is smart and bold in what he does. But I also think that he likes to take the credit for work done before him. That said, if he were hired you would know that Edwards has learned his lesson and that at the very least the organization would be moving forward with a hockey basis again.

Credit Line: Crafts Board of the Australia Council Collection 1980.
Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War occurred at the same time as the revival of interest in studio crafts. Artists beginning to work in this field found its accessibility and popularity allowed them to work in unconventional ways, using satire, for instance, to address issues not associated with the crafts. Olive Bishop is among a number of Adelaide ceramic artists working in this way, influenced by feminism, Gay issues and American funk art. Her work debunks military pomposity, reducing uniforms and decorations to garish caricature.

Destination weddings are undoubtedly better value. Firstly, you can combine your wedding with your honeymoon saving you perhaps $5,000 to 10,000. Additionally, you will have fewer guests at your wedding, meaning more manageable numbers for your reception costs.

Comments: I was afraid to try the shoe after reading negative reviews. I tried really hard to find the Inspire 9's before they were extinct but had no little luck. I gave up and went ahead an bought the Inspire 10's... I LOVE the shoe more than I thought I would! With a definite lighter feel to them I feel like I'm wearing nothing at all. I have not had any issues since I bought my first pair earlier in the year. Since then I've bought 2 more pairs.
From: Anonymous. October 24th 2014
Comments: I ran in the inspire 6's and than 8's. I LOVED them all. I have to say I was a little disipointed when my 10's arrived. They looked a little cheap and they did not fit like my others. I still love them, but not as much as past models.
From: Samantha, Bath, MI, USA. October 23rd 2014
Comments: I loved my Wave Inspire 9s and was extremely disappointed when the company discontinued them. Decided to try the new 10s and I have to say, I'm NOT a fan. My shins and feet hurt in placed they never did with the 9s. Why fix what wasn't broken?! I'm not a happy customer and will be looking into a different brand of shoe now. Perhaps Brooks will work for me.
From: Katelyn, Lincoln, NE, USA. October 2nd 2014
Comments: I have worn Inspire for 16 years and every now and then, but not often, a version comes in and is different. The 10 is different and has a negative fit around the width of the toe box, with too much movement available. Hopefully, Mizuno will go back to the traditional Inspire fit.
From: Kerri, Australia. August 31st 2014
Comments:I previously ran in the wave rider (16s). I just couldn't make the switch to the 17s. The shoe went on too much of diet (kind of like lots of reviews on the Inspire change). I also ran in the previous Inspire but wasn't a huge fan. After months of searching, I finally came back to these. They honestly feel like the Wave Rider 16s, which are a neutral shoe. Go figure. At any rate, they are supportive enough for me. I actually like the fabric and agree with another review that they do need a bit a of a break in period (first time ever for a Mizuno shoe for me). My only complaint is that the shoe's tongue could be a tiny bit longer. But I never seem to think about that when I am running. They handle my current mileage just fine (ramping up for a fall marathon). This is my second pair just incase changes are made in a new model before my next marathon.
From: Anonymous. August 1st 2014
Comments: I miss the Inspire 9 : (. I'm running in the 10s but they feel very different and I'm not loving them. My feet seem to move around more inside the shoe creating hot spots I never felt in the 9s. Also I miss the springy feel of the 9, these feel flat and less responsive to my foot strike. I also have a new pair of Brooks Ravenna 5s that feel the same. I'm not sure what to look at now but I want my Inspire 9s back!!
From: Kat, NH, USA. April 25th 2014
Comments: Why did they have to fix what wasn't broken? I LOVED the Inspire 9. The new toe box is too wide, to much overcorrection, and awful fabric. One of the things I loved about the 9, was the open weave mesh. Thankfully the person that did my new fitting recommended the neural version of the Inspire. Mizuno, stick with what works.
From: Suzanne, Dallas, TX, USA. April 18th 2014
Comments: Why is it that if something is working for you the company has to go and change it completely!? I LOVED The Inspire and have worn it for years. Models 6-9 have served me well. Helped me so much I even got rid of my plantar fasc thanks to the slight heel drop. Now? BOO! Hate the 10 and I sent them back. Back to the drawing board. Lame, Mizuno.
From: Ashley, Dallas, TX, USA. April 10th 2014
Comments: Mizuno ruined the Inspire by taking too much away from the upper and making the toe box too wide. I have worn the Inspire since model 6 and bought 10 and wore them on a 6 mile run and got a huge blister on the top of my foot because the toe box was too loose and the edging around the shoe laces inside the shoe rubbed on my foot. I have worn Mizunos since 2006, but now have to find a new shoe because the only other options for over-pronators are too heavy. Boo Mizuno, booo! (size 9.5)
From: Laura, Albany, NY. 4/1/14
Comments: Best iteration of the Inspire that Mizuno has ever designed. I've been a fan of the shoe since version 4, but the changes made in the 7 and 8 were not for the better, and not working for me. I was ready to jump ship, but decided to give the 10's a try. Glad I did. All good changes...Comfort, stability and support are perfect, and they feel even lighter than previous models. I will put a couple pair of these on the shelf, in case Mizuno decides to change things up again. This is my perfect shoe!

Skip to comments.Investors Fear More Than Just a 'Fiscal Cliff'
Posted on 11/07/2012 6:58:35 PM PST by Perdogg
The Dow plunged 313 points yesterday, but dont believe news media reports that it was the nearness of the fiscal cliff that caused the selloff. What spooked investors is a bigger picture that recognizes the economically catastrophic implications of a second Obama term. To be clear, there is nothing Romney could have done to avoid the deflationary Depression that lies ahead. However, a Romney presidency might have at least served as a reality check on malfeasant fiscal practices, delaying the onslaught of hard times for perhaps long enough to allow Americans to put their financial houses in better order before austerity is imposed on us with the force of an earthquake, as it has been on Europe.
(Excerpt) Read more at zerohedge.com ...
Unable to give a damn.
Sadly, the story will be fear of gridlock and the fiscal cliff. Most Americans will in turn blame the obstructionist GOP, and we all lose. Our electorate is just dumbed down. So little understanding of basics. Most can't distinguish between the House and Senate.
Can obama blame obama for the mess he left him?
It's unfair that I have to starve alongside of them, though.
They're the ones who made it happen.
The MSM blamed the DOW crash on .... Europe.
Further adding to the irony of the day, the GAME SHOW
Jeopardy discussed Benghazi and the Ambassador's murder
while the MSM "news" against skipped it for their Master.
No Obama bought this one.
Bought it good.
We need to start organizing an opposition because there will be opportunities everywhere soon.
I believe that some of liberal papers that endorsed Romney know what a disaster we are heading for in the coming months, tried to save Obama from history.
Nah, we have the guns, and when the SHTF we take over our neighborhoods and take what we want from the unarmed fools. Neighborhoods will turn into personal fiefdoms for those who are prepared and/or ruthless.
>>It's unfair that I have to starve alongside of them, though.
When that day comes, they won't last long enough to starve.
If you still have money in the market, you lose. Better odds in Las Vegas.
I am going to be laughing my ass off when "Progressives" are taking wheelbarrows full of money to the grocery store to buy a loaf of bread.
"Most cant distinguish between the House and Senate."
The Senate is the more exclusive liars' club;)
Utter nonsense.
"The S&P 500 has gained 76% since his [Obama's] inauguration in January 2009, while the Nasdaq 100 is up 128%.
"Compare that to the S&P 500s 13% decline and the Nasdaq 100s 45% wipeout in the first term of his predecessor, George W. Bush; or the mere 25% gain in the first term of conservative icon Ronald Reagan; or even the 60% gain in the halcyon early 1990s in the first term of Bill Clinton."
The Stock Market has every reason to love Obama: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/where-to-put-your-money-if-obama-wins-2012-11-06
The Market will be up again soon. If not tomorrow, then maybe next week.
And I'm not happy about it: a bunch of gamblers who contribute nothing to the economy and are on welfare from the Fed, should not be rewarded for wrecking the economy and savings for people who do real work for a living.
t\To be honest, there is little difference since the 17th Amendment - mainly procedural (where various things happen and in what order).
The list is so long why bother going through all of it. All we have to do is look at obamacare being implemented and our energy future destroyed (no drilling for gas, oil, coal and no pipelines) and I get more than nervous. I just can't believe that the country has changed so much, but after 2 elections I see it has.
I suppose I should take some solace in seeing all those PA & OH miners, drillers and pipe fitters out of work, but I don't.
The stock markets, for whatever reason, will probably not suffer too greatly, even if the rest of the economy goes down the crapper.
I have no sympathy for the bitter clingers of Pennsylvania
"And Im not happy about it: a bunch of gamblers who contribute nothing to the economy ...."
What are you talking about!?
I understand.
Most funds have no place else to go. Bonds don't pay a thing. Also, because the largest companies are multinational they can offset slower earnings growth here with better growth overseas. The stock markets don't reflect main street.
Blame John Roberts of the SCOTUS.
MSM is so asinine and hypocritical in blaming the Wall Street drop today on Europe. Heck the market had a very nice rally on Monday when Romney's crowds looked encouraging.
The European situation has been known for months if not years. So why market crashed the first trading day after Obamao gets re-elected? It is so obvious!!!
We bitter clingers are in the western part of the state...
The problem is in the east.
To be honest...I find myself wishing pain and suffering on this country..for what it did last night it deserve it..
Sorry smoothsailing. I know that...just feeling frustrated.
I know, it's a lousy mess. Be well, stay safe. :)
Perhaps we should propose to have independent Congressional
districts be their own self government.
I wonder if an innovative Congressman could do it for their own CD.
They would balance their own federal budget. The taxes taken from
by the constituents would have to balance the benefits to their district
plus essential federal services.
They would then have to start with 1) National defense
2) Security agencies
3) White Hut, House and Senate, DOJ
We should make a spreadsheet of each CD.
Nancy Pelosi probably gets the most cash benefits and pork to her district.
It would probably be impossible because we would have to track every
federal agency and program and track to each CD.
I wonder if any one has done it???
The stimulus web site was a disaster.
I think this would show clearly that every majority nonnative legal and
illegal district would have Sec. 8, Food stamps. Medicaid.
But we also need the mortgage interest deduction, the Tuition tax credits
and more higher income subsidies that people take advantage of
like 401k and health insurance subsdidy.
Stock traders contribute nothing to the economy. The market is down today then all the better for the bottom feeders tomorrow.
Obama has so damaged our economic future that any administration following him will have ZERO fiscal or monetary flexibility with which to deal with the situation they face.
Higher taxes, inflation and violence are the historical outcomes. Failure will be a certainty, as will economic hardship and civil unrest.
Obama has a problem alright, his policies. Now it's our problem too, and it's just around the corner. Get ready....

Lone Star College student harbored bizarre a fantasy that police say turned deadly.
Dylan Quick is a quiet, 20-year-old student with a hearing impairment who worked at the campus library and loves books. Colleagues and faculty, however, didn't know Quick also harbored a grisly fantasy since grade school: stabbing people to death.
On Tuesday, Quick acted out his fantasy, running through the halls of Lone Star College's CyFair campus with a utility knife and lashing at strangers' faces, chests and throats before being tackled to the ground by students. None of his 15 victims were killed.
Police on Wednesday said they were still trying to determine what triggered the stabbing spree and what other motivations drove Quick's bloody rampage through campus. This much is known: Quick had two blades with him at school on Tuesday – the utility knife he used in the attacks and a precision knife he kept in his backpack during the ordeal.
"Yesterday's incident was planned for quite some time," Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia told reporters on Wednesday. He added, "We still don't know what the impetus for this incident was."
The first calls came to campus police at 11:13 a.m., and Quick was subdued four minutes later, campus President Audre Levy said. In that short span, students reported the suspect dashing from building to building, slashing and stabbing at passersby, seemingly at random.
Quick had worked at the campus' library for about a year, where he was well-regarded by co-workers, Levy said. Faculty who knew him said he was a good student who never gave trouble, she said.
"There were no signs he was a problem student," Levy said. "The library had fond things to say about him. Many are surprised he was the individual."
But trouble lurked beneath the pleasant façade of the library worker. After his arrest Tuesday, Quick confessed to investigators he had fantasized about stabbing people since age 8, Garcia said. His office also received an e-mail tip that Quick had revealed his stabbing fantasy in online chat rooms prior to the attacks. Late Tuesday, deputies searched the home Quick shared with his parents and confiscated information relevant to the attack, Garcia said.
Surveillance video at the college clearly shows Quick on his rampage, he said. Prosecutors at a probable cause court Tuesday night noted that a "bloody knife tip" had been removed from the chest of one of the victims.
"The defendant gave a videotaped confession, admitting he stabbed complainants multiple times with a … knife because of his fantasy to kill people," a prosecutor told the court, KHOU-TV reported.
But the person with a fantasy to stab and kill was far different from the shy bookworm known around campus. An online profile of Quick on the college's website posted earlier this month said he was active in the book club and listed his favorite book as The Phantom of the Opera, by Gaston Leroux, according to Click2Houston.com, which reviewed the story before it was removed from the college's website Tuesday evening.
According to the profile, Quick was born completely deaf and received a cochlear implant when he was 7. He was home schooled and his mom began involving him in the college's library teen activities when he was 12, the profile said. According to the story, Quick said "book clubs were a great foundation for college, a starting point from which to evolve."
The profile said Quick planned to pursue a career in accounting and wanted to transfer to the University of Houston after getting an associate's degree from Lone Star College.
Instead, authorities on Wednesday charged him with three counts of aggravated assault for Tuesday's attack at the college.
Stabbing rampages of strangers in a public place are a rare occurrence and one typically reserved for family homicides inside a home. Since 2006, 11 of the 13 mass stabbings where four or more people were killed involved slain family members or acquaintances, according to a USA TODAY database of mass killings. The other two were robberies.
Acting out violent fantasies, such as those Quick allegedly confessed to investigators, is also rare in mass attacks – and more troubling, said Louis Schlesinger, a professor of forensic psychology at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. Most mass attacks are "reactionary," where assailants react to something that occurred to them, such as being fired from a job or bullied at school, he said.
Crimes based on violent fantasies are often sexually motivated, such as sexual assaults or murders involving sexual activity, not knife attacks on strangers, Schlesinger said.
"If it's something that's been in him for many years, it's a really bad sign," he said. "It's a much deeper problem."

Some of the simplest computing devices made and sold are aids to counting. From ancient to early modern times, scribes performing calculations moved small stones or metal tokens along lines. More recently, mechanical counters have been widely used to count crowds and objects, and as parts of machines.
In the nineteenth century, several inventors patented mechanical counters. Patent models surviving in the Mathematics Collections at the National Museum of American History suggest the range of their concerns. Paul Stillman in 1854 and Daniel Davies and Edward Wright in 1876 patented improvements in rotary measures, such as were used in revolution counters for steam engines. In 1874, Alexander Atkinson patented a counting register to help track quantities of grain. As the amount of leisure time available to Americans increased, three inventors around 1880 saw fit to patent counters to keep score in games.
By the turn of the century, mechanical revolution counters were incorporated in laboratory apparatus, in factories using engines, in distance measures such as odometers, and in cash registers. Americans manufactured them and imported them from abroad. Government offices bought and made counters to compile statistics, and employers used them to figure out the bills and coins they needed to meet payroll. Of course counters were incorporated in a wide range of vehicles and meters. Handheld counters are used to this day to count people entering and leaving buildings and on public transit.
D. Baxandall, rev, J. Pugh, Calculating Machines and Instruments, London: Science Museum, 1975, p. 66.
Examples of counting tokens are in the Smithsonian's National Numismatics collection.

Orth Game Counter, U.S. Patent Office Model
- Description
- This U.S. Patent Office model consists of four instruments similar to a Russian abacus. Each has a rectangular open wooden box, with metal rods that extend across the box and carry differing numbers of wooden beads. Wooden pieces divide the box into two or more compartments. Across the middle of each compartment is a flexible spring. Beads may be moved easily over the spring, but retain their position once moved. Two of the counters are specifically for use with games, one with two players and one with six. Another is divided into two sections for counting dollars and cents. The five rods in this device are numbered 0, 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000. The fourth counter has no wooden divider, and is intended for tallying from 0 to 99999.
- A mark on all four parts reads: UNIVERSAL TALLY MFG. Co. A second mark on all four parts reads: WILLIAMSPORT, PA. The first two counters have a mark that reads: RECORD OF GAME. The third part is marked: DOLLARS (/) CENTS. A mark on the final part reads: TALLY.
- According to the 1880 U.S. Census, Phillip Orth was born in Germany in about 1847. By 1880 he was living in Williamsport, Pa., with his wife and two sons. He worked as a bookkeeper.

: : How far can a toilet be moved from vent stack, or can i run 1= 3" toilet and 1 1/2 sink with 1 1/2 vent.
: : Thank You Ray
: I have a similar question that I have not been able to find an answer to. In the basement, if I stay close to the main waste stack, can I install a toilet, sink, and shower without adding a separate vent line? It looks to me that if the toilet is within 5 feet I'm OK, but the sink and shower will need some additional venting in a typical layout. Is there any way to avoid the venting...I hate to start hacking into the cast iron stack.

text: The Aqua Trol also has an integral time clock for control of the pool filtration pump. Since many above ground pools already have a single electrical outlet for the filter pump, the Aqua Trol is designed with an outlet (timer controlled) for the filter pump to plug into, the Aqua Trol then plugs into the original outlet the filter pump was using. The savings on chlorine and electrical power alone (if the pump was previously running 24 hours), will have the Aqua Trol paying for itself in just a few short years. The Aqua Trol system typically installs in less than 30 minutes and is very easy to operate.

England coach Stuart Lancaster has named Wasps flanker James Haskell in his starting XV for Sunday's clash with Ireland in Dublin.
England coach Stuart Lancaster has named Wasps flanker James Haskell in his starting XV for Sunday's Six Nations clash with Ireland in Dublin.
Haskell has been selected at blindside flanker in a reshuffled back row, with Tom Wood switching to number eight in place of the injured Ben Morgan.
It is the only change to the run-on side that did duty in the 38-18 Calcutta Cup victory over Scotland at Twickenham last weekend. That means there's no place for dynamic centre Manu Tuilagi who returns from an ankle injury on the replacments bench.
Haskell's last start in the Six Nations was also in Dublin, in 2011, when Ireland shattered England's Grand Slam ambitions with a a 24-8 victory.
Morgan left the field with an ankle injury in the 45th minute of the Test against Scotland but Haskell impressed when he came on as a replacement.
Haskell's elevation to the starting line-up means Thomas Waldrom comes into the matchday squad on the bench.
Tuilagi takes over from David Strettle amongst the replacements.
The Leicester stalwart's return to fitness meant Lancaster was left with a selection poser after debutant Billy Twelvetrees and Brad Barritt shone as a midfield combination against Scotland.
But Lancaster has decided to use Tuilagi off the bench as an impact player.
"A lot of the players performed very well and with Manu coming back into the equation it gave us some selection decisions," Lancaster said.
"But with the centres playing well last week and Manu still returning to match fitness, having not played for the last four weeks, he and others will give us great options from the bench in what I am sure will be a physical encounter."
England: 15 Alex Goode, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Brad Barritt, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 Mike Brown, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Tom Wood, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 James Haskell, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 Dylan Hartley, 17 David Wilson, 18 Mako Vunipola, 19 Courtney Lawes 20 Thomas Waldrom, 21 Danny Care, 22 Toby Flood, 23 Manu Tuilagi.

Roman Catholic Pontiffs
Here is a list of all the popes, from St. Peter to Francis I.
1. Or 310.
2. He should be called Felix II, and his successors of the same name should be numbered accordingly. The discrepancy was caused by the erroneous insertion in some lists of the name of St. Felix of Rome, Martyr.
3. He was elected during the exile of St. Martin I, who endorsed him as pope.
4. After St. Zachary died, a Roman priest named Stephen was elected but died before his consecration as bishop of Rome. His name is not included in all lists for this reason. In view of this historical confusion, the National Catholic Almanac lists the true Stephen II as Stephen II (III), the true Stephen III as Stephen III (IV), etc.
5. Confusion exists concerning the legitimacy of claims. If the deposition of John was invalid, Leo was an antipope until after the end of Benedict's reign. If the deposition of John was valid, Leo was the legitimate pope and Benedict an antipope.
6. If the triple removal of Benedict IX was not valid, Sylvester III, Gregory VI, and Clement II were antipopes.
7. Elimination was made of the name of John XX in an effort to rectify the numerical designation of popes named John. The error dates back to the time of John XV.
8. The names of Marinus I and Marinus II were construed as Martin. In view of these two pontificates and the earlier reign of St. Martin I, this pontiff was called Martin IV.

: : : My contractor drilled a hole to run my satellite cable in my house and nicked my cold water line (after the pressure pump) for the house. The nick is about a 1/4" to 5/16" in size, and in a very tight spot. He brought in a plumber who said it was too tight to get to with solder, a proper coupling and a torch, so he put a 1/8" thick piece of rubber over the hole and sealed it with three small hose clamps, which he said would last just fine. Is this possible? I am worried about getting the ceiling reinstalled and the joint leaking in a few years.

|In response to Re: low-profile toilets
: Terry,
: Really enjoyed your report on low flow toilets. However, my wife wants a banjo arm over the toilet so that she can have more area for plants, flowers, soaps, towels, etc. Our contractor starts in about two weeks. We were thinking about the Kohler Rialto, but your comment about water depth and surface area quickly changed our minds. The Kohler Rosario (25" 1/2 tall) and the Toto Supreme unit (23" 1/2 tall) and will both fit under the banjo arm and hopefully leave enough room to work on them should something go wrong. We are leaning toward the Toto because it is shorter and because the UltraMax was so highly rated. Would you concur or should we consider another toilet?
Dave & Carolyn,
