Cougar Bike Snow Boot
"This boot is very comfortable. They keep my feet so warm is this cold weather. I ordered a 1/2 size up due to wearing socks and thought i may need the extra room, but didn't need to. IM sure they will stretch after a while. Im going to order these is black too, I love these boots!!"

Didn't fit but pretty cool, for a snow boot.
"I have to return these, which is sad because they are really, really cute. But too small, alas. I am usually a solid six, sometimes a little smaller, but my toes jammed up against the front once I managed to get them on. (They are stiff as well, but you know, new shoes, normal. They seem like the kind of thing you would need to break in but then they'd be great.) But they seem like a very substantial, well-made boot. Traction looked like it was probably really good as well. So, worth the price if they fit. Think they would last a long, long time. Looks like they sold out in this size, so once I return them maybe some lucky, tiny-footed lady will be able to enjoy them."

Cute, but need half sizes!
"These boots are adorable and seem to be of really nice quality. However, I usually wear an 8 and the 8 was a little too tight. But there's no half sizes and of course the 9 was too big! Darn!"

Customer Reviews
Comments: I have the Polarized Emerald Mirror lenses, as well as the light adjusting smoke. The light adjusting smoke lenese do not get as dark as I would like, especially when driving. The Polarized Emerald Mirror Lenses are GREAT. They are the best I have found so far. I also love that they come with a foam gasket to keep bugs, dirt, wind out of my eyes. I have used these while fishing, and also while riding a motorcycle.

|Delta Wild and Scenic River General Information
|Print Page
Delta River Season and Climate
The Delta River running season generally begins in early to mid-June, depending on ice breakup and precipitation. Average annual precipitation, measured at Paxson, is 11 inches of rain and 120 inches of snow. July is commonly the wettest month. During the summer, temperatures range from 35°F to 70°F with occasional highs in the 80s. By mid-September the shorter daylight and colder temperatures bring the river recreation season to an end.
Fish and Fishing on the Delta River
Tangle Lakes and the Delta River contain grayling, round whitefish, lake trout, burbot and longnose suckers, with grayling fishing as the most popular choice. Good lake trout fishing is available in late winter and early spring. Salmon are not found in the Delta River due to the 15-foot-high falls and the heavy silt load entering from Eureka Creek. For more information on fishing, obtain a copy of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Fishing Regulations and the BLM brochure Alaska Freshwater Fishing.
Delta River History and Pre-history
The Ahtna people and their ancestors have used the Delta River corridor for hunting, gathering and trading since at least the end of the last ice age, over 10,000 years ago. Several hundred significant prehistoric and historic sites can be found along its length. The upper end of the Delta River corridor is within the 226,660 acre Tangle Lakes Archaeological District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The first historic use of the Delta River corridor was in 1898, when Lieutenant J.C. Castner lead a U.S. Army expedition down the river to the Tanana Valley. Several hundred miners have also used the Eureka Creek Mining District since gold was discovered on Rainy Creek around 1900. Yet other miners have passed through the area on their way over the Top of the World Trail, also called the Yost Trail, toward gold discoveries in Valdez Creek far to the west. There are still active mining claims in the Rainy Creek area. Please respect the area's archaeology, the collection or disturbance of prehistoric or historic sites is against the law.
The trans-Alaska pipeline, built in the mid 1970's, is visible from the river for three miles before the take out on the Richardson Highway (Mile 212.5). To learn more about the history and prehistory of the area, visit our cultural pages.
Delta River Vegetation and Wildlife
Vegetation includes various plant associations ranging from arctic tundra to spruce-poplar forests. Grasses, sedges and forbes grow on the highest, most exposed slopes of the Delta River and above the brush line. Willows grow on moist, lowland sites and in the many brushy draws draining the side slopes.
Dwarf birch occupies the drier sites along the Delta River associated with well drained soils. Alder is found on the steep slopes of hillsides and canyon walls. Forests of white and black spruce occur below an elevation of 3,200 feet in small pockets along the Delta River and on some hillsides. Open spruce-poplar forests occupy lowland sites along the river and some mid slopes of hillsides adjacent to the river.
Understory plants are varied and abundant. Fireweed, bistort, rose, mountain-avens, burnet, and shrubby cinquefoil are just some of the many plants found in the Delta River corridor. Many people travel to Tangle Lakes to pick blueberries. Other berries found near the Delta River include crowberry, alpine bearberry, cranberry and red currant.
Wildlife provides opportunities for sport hunting, trapping, photography and viewing. Hunters seek moose, caribou, bear, Dall sheep, ptarmigan, waterfowl and snowshoe hare. Trappers concentrate on taking beaver, fox, wolf, marten, lynx, wolverine, otter, muskrat and mink. Wildlife viewing is best in the early morning.
Most of the 110 species of birds identified in this area are summer residents (May to September) of the Delta River corridor. Nesting bald eagles can be observed along the Delta River from Tangle Lakes to the lower Delta River during the summers. Waterfowl are hunted on the Tangle Lakes in autumn and ptarmigan are hunted among the low hills and valleys of the area in autumn and late winter.

This morning Apple sent out invitations for the annual World Wide Developers Conference and opened up ticket sales, which cost $1599 each. It's a safe bet that those tickets will all be sold out today if not almost immediately, last year all of them were gone within about 12 hours.
Update: Tickets are already sold out.
The event will be held over the course of 5 days, June 11th through 15th, at Moscone West in San Francisco, CA. According to Apple the focus this year is on both OS X and iOS, with over 100 sessions led by Apple engineers to assist developers in understanding and working with core Apple technologies and services.
There has not been any announcement yet about the keynote, but we expect it will probably be led by Tim Cook with multiple Apple executives taking the stage for specific presentations. Read more

What is the selection process like?
What does the Selection Committee look for?
If selected, must I attend all program-related events?
If I am not selected this year, can I reapply for BYLP the following year?
If I have already participated in one of the BYLP programs in the past, am I eligible to apply for the other BYLP programs?
A: The selection process for each of the four BYLP components is rigorous and highly competitive. In general, the selection process consists of several rounds:
Following the application submission deadline, IIE reviews all of the received application and ensures that they meet the respective BYLP programs' eligibility requirements (please check "Eligibility" section under each program). Incomplete applications will not be read and considered by the selection committee.
Once IIE has thoroughly checked the applications for completeness, it passes them to an independent selection committee. The committee, which is overseen by IIE, reviews and scores all the applications.
After all of the applications have been scored, the top 25% of applicants are invited for in person interviews with the selection committee. For SEP and ELTP programs, short-listed applicants are also invited to take TOEFL ITP exam, which is administered and paid for by IIE. After all interviews have been completed and scored, the selection committee has a final discussion to determine the BYLP participants.
back to top
A: The selection committee looks for exceptional candidates who are smart, driven, open- minded and committed to building a better future for Bulgaria.
A: Yes, if selected you are expected to participate in all program related events such as pre-departure orientation, program related meetings and post-program alumni gatherings.
A: Yes. As long as you continue to meet the BYLP eligibility criteria you can certainly reapply.
A: No. In order, to ensure that as many young Bulgarians as possible have the unique opportunity to study and train in the United States, individuals who have already participated in one of the BYLP programs are not eligible to apply for the other BYLP programs.

Frame and tray puzzles are great for young puzzlers. Frames and trays make assembling a puzzle easy to do with guidelines in which the pieces fit securely around the frame, with the finished image printed on the tray for visual clues to the finished product. These puzzles can also be assembled independent of their trays for a slightly more challenging experience. The tray also doubles as convenient storage for ease of clean up!
Browse a wide variety of subjects including animals, Disney-Pixar, holiday themes, create-your-own, and more from quality brands like Melissa and Doug, Ravensburger, Cobble Hill, and Masterpieces.

It could be called a help-wanted ad of epic proportions when the Castle Rock Adventist Health Campus fills openings at its newest hospital.
The hospital is under construction in The Meadows in Castle Rock, with plans to open its doors by the end of the summer. When it does, it will have created more than 200 new jobs in Castle Rock, said Kelly Wooten, director of human resources for Castle Rock Adventist Health Campus.
Her department aims to fill those jobs with the help of a job fair from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 5 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Drive in Castle Rock. Wooten has been receiving inquiries about jobs at the Castle Rock Adventist Health Campus for more than a year, she said.
The campus presently employs 60 people in its emergency room and imaging center and is adding to that number every day, she said.
"We're making offers almost daily for associate positions," Wooten said. "We've had a lot of interest in Castle Rock in particular."
Jobs at the Castle Rock campus include nursing positions in labor and delivery, surgical services, the cath lab, orthopedics intensive care and acute care. The emergency room, open since September 2011, has served more than 15,000 patients, many of which are pediatric patients, Wooten said.
Castle Rock Adventist is aware it is competing with Sky Ridge Medical Center and is taking a community-minded approach to its public outreaches, including its job search. The job fair will take place at the Douglas County Event Center in Castle Rock, and Wooten expects to field several inquiries from local residents.
"A lot of our community wants to stay within the community," Wooten said. "We are more focused on community relationships, more a small town community hospital. We don't want to be where people go just for sick care, we want them to come to us for that whole health care."
Recruiters will be on site at the job fair to review resumes and pre-screen applicants. Those who make it to the next step will meet with a hiring manager for an on-site interview, Wooten said.
At the end of that meeting, the bulk of the interview process should be completed and job offers could follow within the next couple of days, she said.
As of March 14, 50 people had RSVP'd on the Adventist website for a variety of jobs. To pre-submit your application and RSVP for the job fair, visit www.careers.centura.org. Walks-ins are welcome, but recruiters will be able to pre-screen resumes of those who register in advance.

Easy Spring Floral Ideas
Spring has sprung and you may be having people over soon, for any number of reasons. We wanted to give you some easy ways to spruce up your table cleverly and affordably.
Here are the Anchor Hocking floral products we used:
Bud Vases - Items #31268, #31257
12" Kendl Twisted Square Vase - Item #99147
Other Items Used:
Soho Barware
Reused Candle Jars
We went to the local grocer and purchased a potted hyacinth plant, which contained 3 bulbs that had bloomed ($7.00) and a bouquet of mixed spring stems ($7.00).
Project 1
Bouquets for Ladies Tea
Take time to relax and catch up with close friends this spring. Invite over your closest friends, your siblings, your in-laws, whoever – and make them feel right welcomed and cherished with a personalized bouquet.
We wanted these bouquets to be multi-purpose so we grabbed our 1 Liter Carafes to hold the stems.
We also found some ribbon (reused from a potpourri bag) to hold name tags on to the vases. The name tags were cut out of brown paper bags (which were free from the grocer's check-out).
To make the tags we first sketched out a tag shape (download a printable tag of your own here). We cut through both sides of the bag, giving us two tag shapes each. We did this so we could write little notes on the inside of the tag. Write their names on the outside and a cute note on the inside, hole punch and attach to the carafe.
Project 2
Rustic Charm
We chose a collection of 4 bud vases in various heights. We picked out three rather tall stems from the bouquet and one that was shorter and fuller.
For the fuller stem we needed to remove some of the lower leaves and growth, but saved them for another small project.
By using an earthy color palette and not following standard floral arrangement rules, we create an interesting, minimal and rustic look. This would look great next to a tub full of sodas in glass bottles or a buffet table of desserts.
Project 3
Big Charm in Small Places
If you have minimal counter space and you still want to add pops of nature to the display this idea is for you.
We have been saving used candle jars for just such an occasion. Remember those trimmings we saved from Project 2? Here's where they'll come in handy. Using short stems of filler and leaves and rocks, create small vignettes in miniature jars. These will look perfect among food displays or next to beverage stations. Inter-mix them with candles for a romantic effect.
Project 4
Lofty Sunnies
Sunflowers can make a big impact with their height. Don't worry though, if you don't have a tall vase to put them in. We chose 3 pieces of tall and skinny beverageware, our Soho Collection. You could also use our 4" or 6" Kendl Tapered Vases.
We used what is called "cullet" from our factory, but you can pick up a similar looking product in the floral section. You could also use tiny seed beads from the craft isle.
First, we filled the glasses/vases with the filler/cullet.
Then, we pushed the sunflower stems down into the material. This makes a snug fit around the flower and holds it upright.
Align them down the center of a table or on a shelf for a modern touch and new sense of visual height.
Project 5
Ditch the Plastic
We bought those hyacinths, remember? We decided we didn't like that pot they were in, and we weren't ready to plant them in the garden just yet. So, we temporarily transplanted them into pieces of beverageware that we've been collecting.
Maybe you have some collections of vintage glassware or some pieces that no longer have match. Use these pieces of glass to create an interesting display that kicks those hyacinths up a notch.
Display them while you have guests over and after the party you can plant them in the ground.
**Don't forget, that once the flowers turn brown, you can dig up that bulb, store it in a brown paper bag and replant next year.
Project 6
Housewarming Gift
Do you know someone who just settled into their new home?
Maybe a newlywed couple?
Instead of flowers, opt for kitchen gadgetry!
Whether they've registered for gifts or you know what they're in need of, use a collection of items to create a lovely display.
Vase too tall? Purchase some fabric napkins in their favorite color(s), roll them up and use as a base for you gadget bouquet.

Your Home Floral Style
Every home has a style, it's very own personality that needs to be showcased! Indulge your home's persona by tailoring the flower arrangements to suit. Below are five home styles and the perfect arrangements for each.
Americana Country
(Image from Society of American Florists)
This style has become a phenomenon in it's own right. Motifs include artifacts from the past - such as quilts, galvanized metal bowls and wooden crates. The result is comfort that is easy and inviting. Woven baskets or simple vases of mixed spring flowers (yarrow, wild roses, scabiosa, heather) fit perfectly on a coffee table or kitchen counter. Cut flowers, blooming plants, herbs, wreaths and swags with that farm-fresh look are a natural extension of this homespun décor with their fresh-picked-from-the-garden appeal.
Casual Chic
(Image from Society of American Florists)
Casual living lifestyles focus on the simple pleasures of life. The decor includes furniture of light pine, natural woods, bleached oak or a white-washed painted finish with fabrics of linen and cotton in neutral tones. Because these homes are designed for "stress busting," flowers provide nature's balancing formula. The right match might include flowering and green plants (like cyclamen, kalanchoe, pothos or ivy) casually grouped, or flowers (such as sunflowers, daisies, hydrangea, delphinium or tulips) placed in a clear glass vase, pitcher or piece of pottery.
(Image from Society of American Florists)
This home has formal architecture with impressive front doors, foyers and individually decorated rooms. Design elements include classic furnishings and antiques with elegant fabrics of brocade, silk and tapestry. Traditional arrangements call for a mixture of flowers (roses, gladiola, iris, carnations, lilies or snapdragons, to name a few) and accents such as dried fruit and foliage. Crystal, brass, silver or porcelain containers are ideal for the classic floral centerpiece.
(Image from Society of American Florists)
Sleek and trendy, the modern home calls for clean lines, smooth surfaces and form. Elegant fabrics, colorful silks, gauze or leather accent steel, glass and other man-made materials. Bold, exotic flowers (anthuriums, heliconia, callas, orchids) with strong lines work well to complement this home's clean, open spaces. To complete the dramatic look, flowers are best displayed in glass vases, decorative pottery and metallic containers with pewter or stainless steel finishes.
(Image from Society of American Florists)
Velvets, satins, chintz, lace and organza create a feeling of softness and romance in the Victorian home. Pastel colors or soft tone-on-tone prints are used to delight the senses. Fragrant flowers (roses, spray roses, peonies, lavender, gardenias, freesia) in pale peach, lavender, pink, yellow and cream conjure images of romance and sensuality. All of these delicious colors glow in lovely, romantic vases of clear glass, crystal and silver.

Flower Power
Low and compact, this arrangement has become the poster child for the 21st century flower arrangements. A tight gathering of flowers, usually without greenery, is placed into a low vase for a very clean and simple look.

A treasure hidden in plain view, the expansive Google New York building engulfs an entire square block of the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan. But, while the building is hard to miss, gaining access to what lies within those four concrete walls is a much more difficult feat.
On the surface, the 2,900,000 square foot building boasts all of the amenities that we have come to expect of a Google campus. Free artisan snacks stand beside your corner store favorites in micro-kitchens, chill pods can be found behind hidden walls, and a healthy dose of whimsy runs throughout it all.

Product Description
Ray Comfort
"33 minutes that will rock your world!"
This award winning new documentary had over 1.2 million views in its first 30 days on YouTube! At these incredible outreach prices you'll want to give copies to everyone you know. The DVD combines historical footage with cutaways from numerous brief interviews in which a messianic Jew, Ray Comfort, explains to modern young people what the Holocaust was. (Many had never heard Adolf Hitler or the Holocaust, or had been taught it didn't really happen!) Comfort then briefly explains what sin is, and with just a question or two compares the Holocaust to the abortion movement in the USA. The rapid change of heart from "pro choice" to "pro life" among those interviewed is amazing!
DVD: 33 minutes

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – It's a small but growing family.
At least, that's what officials with Baldwyn-based Farmers and Merchants Bank believes.
The 62-year-old bank opened its first office in the financial hub of Northeast Mississippi on Friday with a six-person office.
"Farmers and Merchants is a family owned business, and we're here to provide great customer service in the Tupelo market," said branch manager Bill Almon. "We've had great customer response. … they've welcomed us to the community. We think we can make a difference."
Almon said FMB and its customers will like how they're treated.
"It's a very competitive market. But I think what sets us apart is we treat everyone like family – we greet you by name, we know who you are," he said.
The full-service FMB office offers individual and business loans, mortgages and insurance services.
Among the faces at the office is Prentiss Turner, a 40-year banking veteran. Turner has worked for BancorpSouth and Renasant and joined FMB this year.
Founded in 1941, Farmers and Merchants Bank has more than $212 million in total assets.
Total deposits as of the latest reporting period of June 30, 2012, were about $175 million.
FMB has six offices – its main office in Baldwyn, two in Booneville and one each in Mantachie, Marietta and Mooreville.

"Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch…"
We like to consider ourselves some of the best matchmakers in the science and entertainment game. Finding scientists to explore some of the most remote and often obscure corners of their field to enrich Hollywood plotlines is the name of our game; and it's not always so easy. Filmmakers have tough questions and scientists often have to dig deep to answer questions that you certainly won't find in a textbook.

SIEDC's Fourth Annual Health & Wellness Expo
Held on September 27th at the Hilton Garden Inn, Staten Island Economic Development Corporation's (SIEDC) fourth annual Health & Wellness Expo included informative seminars, medical screenings and fitness demonstrations designed to educate Staten Island residents on ways they can improve their health. Staten Island University Hospital was one of the leading sponsors of the event. Michael J. Dowling, President and CEO of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, opened the daylong conference with a thought-provoking keynote address.
Focusing on healthcare reform, Dowling stressed the importance of staying positive amidst the heated national rhetoric. He asserted that the challenges we face as a nation are due to our successes not our failures. In the past 100 years, modern medicine has extended life by more than 35 years. As people live longer and technology advances, the costs of care inevitably increases. Healthcare will need to expand and change in the future, fueled mostly by the demand of over 72 million people that will turn 65 by 2030. This healthcare reform will not be simple, and may never be fully resolved.
As wellness information and medical innovation grows, so will the national dialogue regarding the topic. Dowling believes the future of healthcare (discourse) will revolve around the following eight topics.
Who should be covered? Healthcare reform must identify the scope and scale of the population that will receive coverage as well as the optimal benefit package.
How much should we spend? The dialogue will always focus on the dollar amount allocated to each individual patient. What is too much or too little?
Are we getting quality care for the amount we pay? Dowling argues that better outcomes are worth the cost and that there should be a direct relationship between patient outcomes and pay.
Where should healthcare be provided? The future of healthcare delivery will change dramatically. In the future, patients will receive more advanced care in ambulatory care centers, outpatient practices, and even at home. Hospitals will continue to provide specialized care, but the scope and scale of services offered outside this traditional clinical setting will vastly expand as telemedicine innovates. Family caregivers will need to be trained to provide these enhanced home care services.
Who should provide the care? Nurse practitioners are the future of healthcare. They are trained to provide the same level of care as Primary Care Physicians. They can practice independently and have the ability to treat patients, diagnose illnesses, and write prescriptions without the supervision of a doctor. The focus will shift from MDs to other conventional and holistic care providers.
How can health promotion be integrated in to medical care? Dowling believes that the traditional model of hospital compensation should change. He suggests that hospitals and healthcare systems be paid for managing populations and keeping people healthy, as opposed to only receiving compensation when patients are hospitalized.
Who should be held accountable for our poor lifestyle choices? What is the role of individual responsibility (versus the food industry's culpability with their inclusion of salts and sugars)? 70% of illness is due to lifestyle choices. Childhood obesity is a huge issue that will lead to additional financial burden in the future. Dowling believes that it is our collective responsibility to ensure that all Americans maintain healthy, active lives.
How does the environment affect our wellbeing? Dowling believes that there is a direct relationship between people's health and where they live.
Staten Island has unique health challenges. It is an island of two populations, the north and the south. There is a high morality rate associated with heart disease and cancer. 28% of the population is obese. However, there have been successes. Smoking rates on the island have decreased dramatically. Dowling believes that forums, like SIEDC's Health and Wellness Expo, are critical to improving other health indicators as well as advancing the health of the island.
In closing, Dowling challenged Staten Island to become the healthiest borough, explaining that this can be done with better access, education, diversity and the formation of a collation of providers dedicated to making people healthy. He calls for a public health initiative where hospitals and healthcare professionals work together. Dowling believes that, "Health reform must happen on a local level, we can't wait for Washington or Albany to fix it. We must take charge locally."

Mourinho blasts media
Jose Mourinho has hit out at the "disgraceful" ethics of a journalist recording and making public his private, light-hearted comments about Chelsea's striking options.
- Related Content
Mourinho believes the media "should all be embarrassed" for reporting quotes filmed by French television station Canal Plus, when he was in conversation with a Swiss businessman at a recent sponsor's event.
The recording, aired on Monday, shows Mourinho commenting on Chelsea's lack of depth up front and questioning the age of Cameroon forward Samuel Eto'o.
"I think you should be embarrassed, as a media professional because from my point of view I don't think you - not you, but a colleague - (should be) able to record a private conversation, to make it public," he said at his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Galatasaray in Istanbul.
"I think you all should be a bit embarrassed, because it's a case of the ethics you have in your work.
"From my point of view, is it an unhappy comment? Absolutely. But from the ethical point of view, I think it's a real disgrace."
Not knowing he was being filmed, Mourinho had been quoted as saying: "The problem with Chelsea is I lack a striker. He is 32 years old, maybe 35, who knows?"
Such comments made many headlines on Tuesday, and clearly irritated the Portuguese, who remained on the front foot when probed further about the matter.
"I'm not defending what I'm saying," he said. "I'm attacking something that is, I think, fundamental in your professional area and that person showed exactly what he is or what he does not know about the job.
"From my perspective, the comment is not obviously a good one, not one I would do in a serious way, not something I would do in an official way in an interview. First of all, because I don't make fun. Secondly, because, if there are managers in the world that really defend their players, I am obviously one of them. And third, because Samuel Eto'o is Samuel Eto'o."
Mourinho and Eto'o won an unprecedented treble of Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia titles with Inter Milan in 2010, and the Portuguese insisted there was no issue between the pair.
"He is a four-time Champions League winner," the former Real Madrid coach said. "People think three times, but he is four times - one with Real Madrid, two with Barcelona and one with Inter.
"It was with him that I had the best ever season of my career. He's one of the few player who is working with me in a second different club and a manager never does that when he doesn't like the player, doesn't like the person.
"He has no reason to be upset because also he told a few years go that 'Mourinho is the only manager in the world I would never play for'. After a few years he was playing with me at Inter and now he is playing for me.
"There is no story. I repeat - it was a funny conversation between me and somebody that doesn't belong to the footballing world. We were laughing, as everybody was saying. I really think that it's a disgrace that somebody has recorded a private conversation."
Canal Plus captured the footage as they were waiting to conduct a one-on-one interview with the Chelsea boss, who was also filmed addressing the possibility of signing reported long-time target Radamel Falcao from Monaco.
"I need a striker, Falcao needs a club," Mourinho is reported to have said.
"A player like him cannot play in front of 3,000 people. Monaco is a club to end (your career with)."
The furore surrounding the leaked footage is hardly the ideal preparation for Chelsea's Champions League last-16 first leg against Roberto Mancini's Gala.
Attempting to move on and focus on the game, which will see the Blues pit their wits against their former striker Didier Drogba, Mourinho said: "You want to speak about the game? I'm ready. You want to speak about some ethics of journalists?" - before shaking his head.

President Obama honors sacrifice on Thursday.
The president and Vice President Biden welcome participants in the seventh annual Wounded Warrior Project's Soldier Ride to the White House.
The bike rally helps "Wounded Warriors restore their physical and emotional well-being," said the White House schedule. It also increases national awareness of those "who battle the physical and psychological damages of war."
Health care is also on the White House schedule as Obama and Biden meet with representatives of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
They also meet later with a group of insurance executives.

Feel free to discuss the latest chapter here.
Feel free to discuss the latest chapter here.
Predict Away!
To be honest i hope this fight is over, and Ichigo will win. Why? Because i am getting tired of this battle. Also where did Ichigo gain his power from? I mean all that happened was that she cheered for him.
This has never happened in the past it has always been something concrete of sort like when he fought together with his sword (I dare not try to spell his name)
Si vis pacem, para bellum
PGP Key Here
Don't know why. Lots of things in Bleach always show up. ang lots of changes always happen. but still can't wait what will happen in 284. heheh LOL Grimjaw will not die I think. Maybe. Too early for him to die.
I'm hoping that in the next few chapters we'll get to see the Espada who are ranked 1 through 3.
I hope this fight is over, Its been a cool fight. I just want to see an update on rukia and Chad.
Ulquiorra will reappear just as Grimmjow is about to lose and stop the fight, possibly injuring Ichigo and taking Inoue back. Ending the chapter because they like to play with our emotions.
damn it. i just hope someone or sth. is going to end this... there are far more other questions that i want to be answered
The weirdest thing about Bleach is character development. They always show Ichigo as some idiots never realizes his potential et he gets power at random time. They like to form bonds then make it looks like the bond didn't mean much. After reading last few manga chapters, the hole thing about Rukia is like that never happened.
I think they definitely will play the Ulquiorra's feeling toward Inoue vs. Inoue's feeling for Ichigo. Thinking of it, we never know why does Ichigo fight... Will they play "he finally gain even more power if he needs to protect someone" card?

JGD 42: Sixty Minutes Left in 2013
Kevin McCartney
December 31 2013 04:34PM
The Jets' second and final match against the Sabres comes just 14 days after the first one - a head-shaking 4-2 loss against an historically bad offensive team. Buffalo still only has 66 goals on the season (that's right, 6% of their goals in half a season came in one game against the Jets), but are third to last in December scoring, ahead of Calgary and Montreal. Before the Jets gave up four to the Wild, the Sabres had the lead on that squad as well.
The Jets will play Al Montoya in this one, and Buffalo is countering with their back-up Jonas Enroth. A three game winning streak would be the Jets' second longest of the season, and a loss would be a groaner even if the consequences are low for inter-conference play. It's another pride game for these Jets, and another opportunity to show they can put together 60 minutes without playing down to their opponent.
Buffalo is coming out of their funk just a little. In December, the team has improved their goals for as well as their goals against, with just a -3 goal differential through 11 games. Ryan Miller is still making an excellent case to backstop the American Olympic team, and things are steadily improving in all areas under magic maker Ted Nolan.
The team also acquired Linus Omark, the Youtube sensation that the Oilers kept buried in the AHL despite averaging a point per game in the lower league and dominating the Swiss-A league during the lockout. Jet lag, no practice time, and then the flu has made for a flat Omark debut, but no doubt his puck magic will return in due time. He's also much more gritty than he's given credit for, and at 5'10", 180lbs, you wouldn't expect so much of his offence come from board play. In truth, he's much more dynamic in tight spaces, reacting in his puck control than in open ones, and you'll see him engage defenders to try to beat them rather than take the simple play. He scored 27 points in 51 games for the Oilers one season, and with some PP time and the Player Whisperer behind the bench, he might be a genuine scoring forward.
The Jets, meanwhile, have two lines going for the first time in quite a while. Their two-game winning streak accounts for two of their three regulation or overtime wins against Divisional opponents and is the first 2-game streak since the Eastern Conference trip in late November. With Pavelec on the bench, the team has a much better chance to win in the near term. The starter's performance this month has pulled the Jets down to 22nd in defence with 3.08 goals against per game. That has spoiled their 10th best offence through December and led to a .500 record on the month of 6-6-1.
Jets Forwards
- Ladd - Little - Wheeler
- Kane - Scheifele - Frolik
- Thorburn - Jokinen - Setoguchi
- Tangradi - Wright - Peluso
Blake Wheeler's 14 points in December has elevated him to second in scoring with 31 to Little's 33. Olli Jokinen has 11 points this month, and Scheifele 10. But Jokinen's strong start to the month has given way to Scheifele's strong finish alongside his new linemates. Kane has been a stand-out, in fact, with 6 points in his 7 December games. But Mark Scheifele was the only Jets forward to get points in the last outing against Buffalo, and it was his two laser wristers 36 seconds apart that opened the scoring in the game.
The Jets will need all of their top-8 to step up in this game and make a convincing case that the team is better than the league basement Sabres.
Jets Defence
- Enstrom - Trouba
- Ellerby - Byfuglien
- Stuart - Bogosian
- Montoya
- Pavelec
Trouba tied Byfuglien this month in scoring with 1 goal and 7 assists. We know he's done it against lesser opponents mostly, but it's a heck of a month for the rookie defenceman. Since being paired with Enstrom, the young man has been outstanding. Crazy what a little puck support can do for a player.
Bogosian and Stuart could each be playing hurt at this point, but I wasn't impressed with their game against Colorado. They played John Mitchell to a stand still and were exposed in a few shifts against Duchene. The team has more talented right handed defencemen than left handed ones, and it means someone draws the short straw every game. It's been Trouba earlier in the year, and right now it's Bogosian.
Al Montoya gets the logical start, but I'm sure it was still a hard decision for Noel. He's been careful to say that Pav is the starter, but given his play in the month of December and the team's extreme need for a string of wins, Montoya had to be the one to go. Still, with each win, the decision gets at once easier and more awkward. It's 'going with the hot glove' to fans and media, but it's 'soon, soon' to the man who wants his net back. And what does the coach do if Pavelec blows another game in his return? It's an easy choice from the outside, but I can only imagine it's an awkward one from the inside.
Sabres Forwards
- Moulson - Ennis - Girgensons
- Foligno - Leino - Omark
- Ott - Flynn - Stafford
- D'Agostini - Ellis - Scott
It's... uhhh... well, it's not the '70's Canadiens. Superstar John Scott - the only player who played 150 NHL games with 5 or fewer points in league history - draws in on the fourth line. Cody Hodgson is still out with his wrist injury, it seems.
But in reality, the team's top-9 is the problem. I'm not sure what happened to Tyler Ennis, but he's fallen flat of his scoring potential. Perhaps some time with Matt Moulson will be good for a passer who can create space. And equally, Moulson has shown he needs some help to create goals. But even if that lineup works, the team is relying on Linus Omark to carry the offence of extremely poor signing Ville Leino and prototypical 3rd liner Marcus Foligno.
Brian Flynn - he of 6 points in 37 games - is centring two power forwards who can't buy a goal for all their bloated salary.
It's a mess. But I do hope we see Omark on a powerplay, or that Nolan lets him set up behind the net. There isn't a better player from behind the net in today's NHL. If you love your hockey to be entertaining, you'll love his tricks from the back office.
Sabres Defence
- Tallinder - Myers
- Pysyk - Ehrhoff
- McBain - Weber
- Enroth
- Miller
Henrik Tallinder might be the second best defender in this lineup, behind Ehrhoff. But Ehrhoff is a classic case of a defender with a limited tool box who just seems to get results. He's on the 'Y the H' line and I think broadly underappreciated league wide.
Jamie McBain's real career path has followed his career in my fantasy hockey league. High hopes led to a trade that revealed his value to be much lower than originally imagined.
But the sad reality of this team is that if Tyler Myers was as good as his contract suggests he should be, this defence group would probably be pretty close to league average. I'm still cheering for that young man.
It's another winnable game against a team playing its backup netminder with the top centre in the press box. Last time, the Jets scored two and played arrogant hockey the rest of the way on their way to losing. Part of organization and preparation is being able to play your own game at your highest level regardless of your opponent. The Jets haven't been good at that in 2013. It's their last chance to change that.

Phaneuf Is enough
Amber McCormick
December 15 2008 08:14AM
Sean Avery won't be returning to the Dallas Stars after his six game suspension. I find it humorous that if he is picked up by another team that he, himself, will become "sloppy seconds". Irony, thy name is Avery!
Personally I think this whole situation has been blown out of proportion. Although, I wish I had "Cuthbert Power." There are a few men I would like to see have their worlds turned upside down for saying nasty things about me.
It's being said that the conduct and comment made by Avery was the straw that broke the camel's back. The powers-that-be were sure to see him made into an example. Good for them; there's enough drama in the world without turning the NHL into a Mark Burnett reality show.
Avery doesn't have a squeaky clean image at the best of times. Might I remind you of a certain Manhattan Madam who was fortunate enough to have Mr Avery's mobile number. A little suspicious? Perhaps. On the other hand Elisha Cuthbert has a textbook reputation as a "puck bunny." The NHL draft is her dating tool. And her porn.
In my humble opinion, Avery received a swift kick to the ego. He's a man scorned. Regardless, his behaviour was childish.
In closing, Phaneuf is better looking anyway.
"The NHL draft is her dating tool. And her porn."
hahahaha "just a girl?"
I think not
Phaneuf is a douche, good day.
...However, Avery would be a great fit in in Edmonton if he was a rad goalie.
And, and I apologise for the multiple posts, but puck bunnies are awesome. Don't think so? Prove it. Other than Janet. She sucked.

Big Shrek fan are you?
Man, Avery has a large head. I feel a quote from 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' coming on, "I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Now that was offside, wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow."
Is it just me, or is everyone missing the point with this "Avery Thing?" Time and time again, I am reading female columnists say, "....I wasn't offended by his remarks...." The fact remains: Avery made a disparaging remark about FANS THAT WATCH HOCKEY. He didn't "keep it on the ice" and he didn't respect the hand that feeds the NHL: FANS. You can't diss the fans when they are responsible for your paycheque. Not to mention, most folks don't even know what "sloppy seconds" are & they should be kicked in thier arse for opening thier mouths with an opinoin before understanding what was said. If you knew what "sloppy seconds" was & the stage upon which it was uttered, you would be ashamed for the boy.
Phaneuf and his 'Cock Pit' got way too much sympathy through this whole Avery thing. # 3 Celine spends more time in front of the mirrow working on his hair then his 'B' movie head-board notch. Which is understandable, he needs the douchebag look-at-me hair, he looks like someone used an axe to put out the fire on his face. I'm sure what those two have is true love...she loves the attention whatever it's over and isn't getting any over her 'acting' and Dion loves anything about Dion. Avery's mistake was saying what he said in front of the camera's. Say that during the game and he most likely gets his team a powerplay when DP goes all caveman on him...while wearing his 3/4 face visor. Did I mention I don't think highly of Celine?
I find Avery more pleasing to the eye than Phaneuf. Avery seems to be rotten on the inside, while Dion has some sort of abnormal head growth going on.
However, you are female and a better judge of hotness. Perhaps Loxy on HotOil should have a hot off between the them to decide.
December 15 2008, 11:41AM
@ Steele:
Where were you doing your research to find people that didn't know what sloppy seconds are? Either you are handing out at an elementary school or are galavanting with the elderly. Everyone knows what sloppy seconds refer to, or are you simply that naive?

LOL couldn't have said it better myself.
I still don't understand why he needs anger management. Furthermore, I fail to see why this guy is the most hated man in hockey. I mean the fact that people want this guy dead is a little baffling. Sure he said something crude, if someone says they've never uttered a crude remark in their life, 99% of the time they're a liar and if someone says it was because he said to the media and not on the ice, they're a hypocrite.
December 15 2008, 12:23PM
I don't care, I think what he said was hilarious. Of course if I were Phanuef I would be slightly pissed, but I'm not, and I'm not banging " The Girl Next Door", so I really don't care. I'll just sit back and enjoy this banter of how bad a man Sean Avery is and laugh myself until 4 o'clock when I can go home from work. Keep me entertained people.
December 15 2008, 01:11PM
@ Hoodlum:
THANK YOU! Finally, someone else that finds it as funny as I do. I wish I could watch Sean Avery in anger management class, it would be hilarious. He's not angry, he's just an asshole.
Dear Baggedmilk:
I'm not the naive one, this woman is:
Which brings about the concept that a lot of the people weighing-in in this issue don't completely "get it." Most people's reaction is "who cares," but what I am sayting is; "the NHL cares when players slag the hand that feeds them: FANS." Avery was taunting his opponents by slagging a FAN. You can't do that & stay in the NHL.
Bone fans = O.K. Slag fans = trouble
December 15 2008, 02:01PM
In regards to the comment "sloppy seconds", I admit there are not a lot of people that are aware of the deeper, true meaning of the phrase. Many do believe it referes to leftovers, which is a far more classy way to describe it. I suppose I wasn't offended, as a woman, since it takes a lot to offend me. I would have been a little more hesitant to laugh had Avery refered to Cuthbert as dirty thirds or floppy fourths. Oh who am I kidding, I would have laughed harder!
December 15 2008, 02:20PM
So your refering to Cuthbert and Hunter as simple everyday fans who are being picked on by a professional hockey player. If Phaneuf was plowing one of Avery's one night stands a month after he does it and makes the same comments, you think the league is going to be as upset. It's because they were't random fans, they were celebrities @ Steele:
December 15 2008, 02:25PM
You just can't manage being an asshole. Trust me I've tried. Either you are or you aren't.@ Hoodlum:
Dear Amber & Hoodlum,
So, if I said on TV your Mom was one of my many Sloppy Seconds & I don't know why it is that your Dad wants to bang my leftovers (taking into account that I am trash), you would both be laughing, right? Is that what I am getting here? If in fact I did mount your Mom & I was a celbrity, you would probably be fuming. If I called your daughter a whore, would you still be laughing? Y'see, we aren't talking about Hockey anymore, are we? We are talking "Bawdy Talk" better left to the ice, the locker room, other places where you say things you don't mean. Hence, Avery should get a boot in the ass, not Dimwit Avery Groupies like you both that think it's funny.
Hmmm, not funny that I called you both Dimwits, is it?

December 15 2008, 02:54PM
Not saying that she is and I appolagize, just proving a point
If it is Linda Steele I need to know and I mean to be sensitive here but what happened to your nose? It looks like someone started a 'touch up' job and stopped before they were done. You're a great news lady and a better community person but these new TV's show a lot of imperfections and details and I can't stop looking at your 'unfinished renovation' when I watch the news.
December 15 2008, 02:57PM
I think it's time maybe Linda, that you switched gears to maybe radio.@ shakey:
Thank you.
So, you get it. Talk Hockey & you are "in bounds" slag fans (me) and you are "out of bounds." So, F-u for calling my Mom a whore :) - even if she is one.
Wayne & Shakey,
You need to turn the T.V. off & manufacture a life. My nose is fine & your T.V. is your fake girlfriend that you are cheting on behing your right hand's back.
I tried going to anger management class but it pissed me off too much
@ Steele: That's some top notch comebacks. Everyone beware not to piss off Steele! What Avery said is tame in comparison to what is said each and every day on TV. If Cuthbert was some 'average home town girl' this situation would never have been brought up since the reaction Avery was looking for wouldn't be there. It's only because Cuthbert is a celeb that this means anything as we all know to whom he is referring. Honestly, with Spears, Hilton and Lohan showing their cooter every second night, 'sloppy seconds' is far from offensive.
Well that resolves this...'cheting on behing'. She got us Wayne. Do they spell things differently on the teleprompter at Global? I comment on someone that may or may not be a tv personality in Edmonton and the response is 'You need to turn the T.V. off & manufacture a life.'? Turn off the tv, really? If this the real lady of Steele that's an odd comment seeing...how...you're...on...tv. Don't worry sister, I still watch you and Gord every night and your nose doesn't need to be out of joint over this, see what I did there?

That is just awesome! Freaking hilarious! What pisses me off is Avery gets six games for a remark that is only moderately offensive, and Bettman can call a press conference and outright LIE that all 30 franchises are financially healthy. Who is a better role model? Avery who has the sense of humour of a twelve year old boy or Bettman the lying liar? The suspension is a joke. Bettman should thank Avery for the publicity and reminding places like Pheonix and Atlanta that the NHL still exists. Fire Bettman already.
December 15 2008, 06:41PM
Everybody jumping in here eager to defend Sean Avery - why? I understand the whole "his comment wasn't outrageous enough to deserve a 6-game suspension", but as for defending his character, good grief.
There are plenty of fun anecdotes floating around, but this one is my favorite. Read the whole thing, please. Highlights include:
- Profanity laced attacks on Islanders GM Garth Snow as Rangers teammate Brendan Shanahan tries to get Avery to leave - Shouted racial slurs at Ted Nolan - Embarrassed teammates and Rangers brass apologizing left right and centre for Avery's antics
Maybe everyone here has forgotten George Laraque's accustaions leveled at Avery. It's a he-said/he-said sort of thing, but Laraque's level of class/integrity is so far beyond Avery's that I think we can take him at his word.
The real shame is that hockey culture permits someone like Avery to get away with things for as long as he did. His remarks regarding Cuthbert were tame in comparison to the things he's said over and over throughout his entire NHL career - he doesn't belong in the league, hell, he probably doesn't belong in the game of hockey. Frankly, if I'm the commissioner, the first chance I get I suspend him as long as I can, whether or not he deserves it, because he's a joke. Taken in context, six games was light.
As for Cuthbert, it really is guilt by association. If you want to date Sean Avery, you probably deserve the baggage that comes with it.
Ok, do you want to know how bad of an influence Avery is in a dressing room, you only need to know one thing - "The Dallas Stars are willing to pay him millions to not play!" There has never been a case like this in history. It has nothing to do with what he said. If it were about decorum, he would play, but they hate him in the room so much....he will get paid to sit.
WOW, they are suggesting that even AHL teams wont take him even though they could get a pretty good NHLer for little cost. That shows you what the Avery affect is.

Two years ago, I came to NBAA in Las Vegas ... to announce Honda's entry into the field of aviation through the formation of GE-Honda Aero. Today, we are pleased to take another significant step ... entering a new dimension of mobility ... by starting sales of HondaJet ... a new advanced light jet of our own design.
Aviation has long been a dream for Honda. I recall as a very young engineer in 1969, I was working overtime late at night ... when I heard a strange, high pitched engine sound. Then, I saw an odd looking car moving slowly through the research lab. It was powered by a turbine engine under study by a team of Honda engineers. From the standpoint of technology ... this research project had no relation to the HondaJet we introduce today. But ... in a spiritual sense ... I guess you could say it was the first HondaJet.
The point is ... even as Honda grew from a motorcycle maker into an automaker ... and a leading producer of power equipment products ... our vision was as a mobility company, and we always kept one eye on the sky. It has been more or less 40 years of continuous challenges.
This personal passion for aviation started with the founder of Honda Motor Company ... Soichiro Honda. And it continued with every former CEO of our company. They all helped keep the dream alive. In fact, I would say their passion was much stronger than my own. For me, launching sales of HondaJet is not such an emotional decision.
A passion for aviation propelled HondaJet into the air, but a strong business case is what is taking it to the customer. And I am very confident in the success of this project. In every one of our business activities ... our goal is to create new value for the customer. And HondaJet meets this challenging objective. Simply and frankly, we would not have taken this step to commercialize HondaJet unless it created new value for aviation customers.
We began focused research in the field of aviation with two different research projects -- 20 years ago. One project studied turbine jet engines. The other focused on the aircraft. Today, powered by the HF 120 engine of GE-Honda Aero ... HondaJet represents the powerful synergy of those efforts.
Throughout our corporate history, it has been a hallmark of Honda to develop original technology for the benefit of our customers and society. I see the development of HondaJet as yet another positive demonstration that the challenging spirit of Honda still exists in our engineers today.
At the same time, while we believe in the importance of original technology, we have always involved strategic partners where it provides value for the customer. So, we are pleased to have both GE-Honda Aero and Piper Aircraft as strategic partners in this venture. Together we will form a strong team ... that creates new value in the field of aviation.
I want to thank all of you in the aviation community for accepting Honda so warmly into the field of aviation. We are excited to join this industry. And we look forward to making a valued contribution.
Finally, one month from today marks the 100 year anniversary of the birth of Mr. Honda. Today's launch of HondaJet is a great way to celebrate his spirit of challenge and innovation.
Thank you.

It reminded us of just how hard writers and their staff on such shows work to bring plausibility to their fictional world. Sure, people love to joke about the constant parade of obscure, rare diseases encountered by House and his cohorts, and how the disease of the week never seems to be lupus, but the writers have certainly done their homework.

Saltillo reached its preseason goal in boys soccer – a 10-win regular season.
An 11th win this week would be a giant step for the program. It would have to come on the road against defending 5A state champion Starkville in the opening round of the state playoffs.
The match is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday.
"The boys will have their hands full with Starkville," Saltillo coach Eric Reynolds said. "Their defenders are equally talented. They can take possession of the ball and distribute it."
Sam Houston led Saltillo (10-8) in scoring with 40 goals. The Tigers look to a freshman keeper, Drake McCarter.
"He has a chance to be a special player," Reynolds said of McCarter.
Saltillo also received some help this season from the football team in linebacker Grant Garrison and wide receiver A.J. Rye.
"The football guys coming in gave us some athleticism and speed," Reynolds noted.
The Lady Tigers (10-5-3), led by senior forward Alyssa Kelley and junior keeper Abby Westmoreland, host New Hope today in the first round.
Saltillo's lineup features five players who have signed with Itawamba Community College.
"We started the season slow, but we've had a fast finish," Reynolds said, noting that his team lost four of its matches early. "We've played well now that we've got everybody together."
The Pontotoc Warriors (15-3-1), who host Senatobia in 4A opener at 6 p.m. today, went 6-0 in division play behind forward Rafeal Vidano, midfielder Fredy Gutierrez and sweeper Piercen Burchfield, an ICC signee.
"Those guys are the ring leaders, as they go, we go," coach Michael Loden said.
Pontotoc owns a 2-1 win against Tupelo on its ledger. The Warriors lost to 6A power Madison Central, 4-0, but only trailed 1-0 with under 20 minutes to play.
"Beating Tupelo gave us that extra confidence we need to get us on the road," Loden said. "We played well against Madison Central. We just lost our composure late after a penalty call."
Tupelo girls (11-2-1) and boys (10-2-2) host Warren Central in a 6A doubleheader, starting at 4 p.m. today.
