Topic: Chalkbrood? (Read 2693 times)
July 17, 2006, 12:53:08 AM »
Sorry for the long post, but I believe I found some chalkbrood in one of my hives today. Confirmation and suggestions would be welcome.
Background: I have 2 hives, both started this year. One was started from a nuc in April. The second came from a captured swarm in May. While I have a large backyard, due to the presence of kids and the nervousness of wife and neighbors, I created a 6' X 8' enclosure with 4' high walls of normal 'tight' lattice. The enclosure is in the northwest corner or our yard, facing south. The enclosure was intended for one hive, but when I got the swarm colony I managed to fit in the second one. All of the lots around ours have large trees and there is a 6' privacy fence to the west. Now that summer is here, the hives get some direct sunlight from around mid-morning to mid-afternoon, but are often shaded. The whole yard is shaded a good part of the day, so I really do not have much choice in this. Also, it has been relatively wet this year, often raining everyday for a week at a time. I am using BeeMax Polystyrene hives with screened bottom boards. Aside from the nuc frames, all frames were new. Both hives have partially blocked bottom entrances and fully open top entrances created by using wood shims, so ventilation should be ok.
The nuc hive is doing fine; packed with bees and covering virtually every frame in 1 deep and 2 medium supers. The only (minor) concern is this: I added a bottom deep with starter strips awhile ago, but while there are tons of bees in it, (they beard all over the strip and frame when I inspect,) they have not drawn it out at all. This hive has been a little slow to draw all along, but seem to be completely healthy and active. (I pulled a fully capped frame of honey from them today so the in-laws could have a taste.) This hive gets a bit more direct sun than the other hive.
The hive from the swarm seemed to be doing fine at first glance also. They have consistently been a couple weeks behind the other hive, but that was not unexpected. They have the same number of boxes, 2 deeps and 2 mediums, with the same pattern of not drawing out the second deep yet. (They started out drawing much better than the nuc hive, but have since slowed down.) They are capping honey, and while there seem to be somewhat fewer bees, they still fill most of the hive, and seemed to be healthy. There are a few empty supercedure cells, and some brood in one of the honey supers, but I am not concerned by any of that.
The last time I inspected this hive, just over a week ago, I noticed a few 'mummified' looking things in the screen on the bottom board, but I did not notice any other problems. Due to my inexperience, I thought that it was just the remains of some other kind of insect that the bees were fighting off. They were slightly smaller than the bees, and were a whitish grey.
Today I noticed a few of these 'mummies' in a few cells on 2 frames of the brood nest. They are not curled up at all; they are lying straight along the length of the cells. I poked one with a twig, and it was not soft or wet. There was nothing 'ropey' about it. The 'mummy' I checked came out easily in one piece. The best way I can describe them is that they look like half size yogurt covered raisins.
I also saw 2 or 3 perforated brood cappings nearby. This is not widespread at all. I saw maybe a dozen of them in the entire hive. There is no noticable foul odor from the hive.
This hive gets a bit less sun than the other one. Coincidently I trimmed back a honeysuckle bush that was shading this hive earlier this weekend. I also cut back some other bushes that may have been restricting airflow around the enclosure. Other than this, I am not sure what to do. (I am considering ways to put them on the roof of my garage next year, since that is the only place around that gets sunlight most of the day.) Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

This sounds more like chillbrood to me. If Chalkbrood there should be some dark or black moteling and have a tendency to be watery. Chillbrood on the other hand will have fully developed pupae being pulled from the cells by the worker bee. The pupae will be solid, not moist or squishy.
Chillbrood is from what it soundslike--chilled brood that died from cold. The cure would be to reduce the amount of ventilation and tighten up the brood chamber. It an be found at any spot on the brood pattern area.
If Chalkbrood, opening some of the freshly caped larva should show a fuzzy bloom that is the fungus that causes the disease growing on the larva before it is killed. In more prnounced stages the comb in the brood area may even show the fungus, however, at this stage saving the hive can be difficult. It is also generally limited to the outer fringes of the brood pattern.
If it is chalkbrood the feral hive probably brought it with them. The treatment is to treat the same way you would EFB and also reduce ventilation and tighten up the brood area.

First thing is to change the queen. If you are lucky, you get rid of disease.
Hive site in shadow and rainy weather rise chalkbrood often.
The tolerance against chalkbrood inherits.

Having thought about the problem some more I have to ask if there is a dearth or draught going on in your area as others have reported in theirs?
In the case of a prolonged period without sufficient nectar sources bees will sometimes remove the brood so as not having to use its vital stores for the raising of new bees (which will consume more stores). It is a survival response amd they would tap a whole in any cells from which they intend to remove pupae. The oldest brood (that closest to hatching) is usually removed first to momentarily stun the hive growth with more being removed as they get older to hatching and as the dearth period continues.
The presence of blackish colored spots or the fuzz on the brood would denote Chalkbrood.
Just remember that requeening doesn't always solve the problem so I would be less inclined to pull the trigger on the queen than Finsky would.

Thanks as always for your input gentlemen.
Brian, there is definatley not a drought, although it has dried up and gotten hot recently. As far as a dearth, there is nothing obviously in bloom at the moment except for clover, but there should be plenty of that in the neighborhood. The bees from both hives are still coming and going as normal, although I have noticed that there is less pollen ocming in than there was perviously.
The bees moved 20+ 'mummies' out of the hive several days ago, and there were not all that many in the first place, so I am not worried about them cleaning it up, whatever the cause.
During the inspection I did not see any fuzz anywhere, but I did not check under any cappings. If I still see evidence of a problem next time I inspect, I will open some up and see. If it spreads I will consider requeening, but for now I will leave them alone.
From the reading I have done, aside from the 'fuzz' stage, it still sounds like chalkbrood to me, but I have not found any difinitive descriptions of the symptoms of chillbrood. (Or even a single commonly used term: chillbrood, chilled brood, broodchill, etc.) What I saw in my hive looks exactly like photos of the 'mummy' stage of chalkbrood.
After I thought about it some more, I thoutht of something else that may have contributed to this aside from the dampness and lack of sunlight: This was the hive that would not work the 2 leftmost frames, and was tending to build vertically rather than horizontly. It was suggested that I move the whole brood nest to the left and put those 2 frames on the right side. I did so several weeks ago. (I inspect roughly every 8 to 14 days, but neglected my notes earlier this summer.) The mummies were found only near the top-back of the (current) second and third frames. Since these frames used to be closer to the center, (4 and 5) I wonder if the nurse bees were just not working that part of the hive as well. Could this lead to chillbrood or chalkbrood in a localized area?
Next time I will just let them do their own thing. Oh, and make sure that I take better notes. :)

>>aside from the dampness and lack of sunlight:
There is your answer as to the cause whether it was either Chill brood or Chalkbrood. The hive needs a little ventilation, are you using SBBs?

Yes, SBB's and hives are sitting on pallets. I also have top entrances created by using wood shims. The bottom entrances are restricted to about 2 inches in width.
I saw 2 more mummies that were pushed out of the hive over the last day or two. I hope it has run it's course. I plan to do an inspection in about a week.

If you seek from internet "chalk brood" you find very similar stories.
First change the queen. Nothing helps if queen and her bees has no ability enough to resist disease. I have done a lot of work to get rid off chalkbrood.

Quote from: IndianaBrown
The mummies were found only near the top-back of the (current) second and third frames.
Mummies may exist only in one frame. It tells that you have keep frame outside hive too long and larvae have gaught cold. When cells are contaminated disease continue in that frame. So it is better to take off frame if it has too much mummies.
Last summer I killed all young queens which showed chalkbrood in mating hives.

BENGHAZI, Libya - Two months after the American ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in assaults on U.S. facilities here there have been no arrests of suspected attackers, and Libyan officials say it is unlikely any will be made anytime soon.
Libyan officials here and in the country's capital, Tripoli, said the nation's police and court systems are so disorganized and powerless that there is virtually no investigation into the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate here that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and State Department computer expert Sean Smith dead. Two CIA security contractors, ex-Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, died in a separate attack hours later when the CIA station in this city came under attack.
Officials in Benghazi said the first problem with pursuing those responsible for the attacks is that police officers here are afraid to move against the Islamist extremist suspects, who, like many in this country, are members of militias that are better armed than state security forces.
And that is just the beginning. Officials say it's uncertain who is in charge of investigating the case and who has the authority to issue arrest warrants, should it come to that. Even if charges were to be brought, there is no proper court system for prosecuting anyone.
In Benghazi, the deputy interior minister said the prosecutor is in charge. The head of the Supreme Security Council, which has responsibility for organizing an army, believes the police are in charge. The prosecutor said he has no idea who is in charge. Some brigades created during last year's uprising and used to filling the security void here don't recognize the Tripoli authorities as in charge of matters in Benghazi.
Last week, Libyan officials had to name a new prosecutor and judge and moved the case from Benghazi to Tripoli, reportedly because the judge in Benghazi had no means to investigate the case.
The official described as the Libyan liaison to the FBI for the case said the investigation essentially is just beginning.
"We are not at the point of arresting. We are correcting procedures," said Col. Abdel Salem Ashour of the Interior Ministry's criminal investigations department.
Ashour said the Libyans are looking for roughly 70 people who were involved in the attack but that images of the potential suspects captured by consulate security cameras and delivered to the Libyan government last week by the United States are blurry.
The description of the investigation given by Libyan officials is far different from the promise President Barack Obama made during an Oct. 16 presidential debate to "hunt down" the attackers.
Security officials said they fear arrests in this case could lead to more violence. The few people who have been detained in connection with the case were either witnesses or looters, Ashour said. Security officials here call those kinds of arrests easier, as they are people who likely don't have an armed group behind them.
"It's no secret that most institutions here are in a weak position. There are many competing factors of security. It makes it difficult," said Ahmed Langhi, who represents Benghazi in Libya's national legislature, the General National Congress. The case "will not be solved until this security problem is solved. The legal system needs power to implement orders."
Indeed, the crime scene itself remains unsecured. While the compound owner has spray-painted his name all over the front gate to let looters know it is not American property, Libyans can walk through the charred buildings unimpeded. Stevens' clothes still hang in the closet, and American documents are strewn on the floor.
Because Libya is a sovereign state, American officials must depend on Libyans to make arrests in accordance with local law. But how such a case can be handled when there is no structured legal system and no law enforcement agency is unclear.
Perhaps the most infamous suspect, Ahmed Abu Khattala, remains at large even after witnesses put him at the consulate during the attack, directing fighters. A commander in Benghazi's largest revolutionary brigade acknowledged that everyone is frustrated that Khattala is still allowed to operate openly in Benghazi, boasting about his freedom of movement even as he has denied participating in the attack.
"Who is going to arrest him? Who is going to question him? It's the consequences that we fear," the commander said. "If we arrest someone, a member of his forces will get him out."
The commander did not want to be named after being publicly identified with helping the Americans recruit members for a counterterrorism unit. Within hours of his name surfacing, he said, extremist groups operating in Benghazi threatened to kill him.
Among the factors limiting an investigation, said Omar al-Khadrawry, Libya's deputy interior minister, is that local officials do not recognize the authority of the central government in Tripoli. He said officials who have been fired simply refuse to leave their jobs and cited as examples the city's police chief and the deputy interior minister for Benghazi, who refuse to step down despite having been fired and replaced by the country's new prime minister.
Saleh Daghman, the newly named deputy interior minister for Benghazi, said he cannot even get to his office because his predecessor is still there. In addition, some of Daghman's officers have charged that he is a member of Ansar al-Shariah, the group suspected in the consulate attack. Daghman denies the charge.
The ultimate result, al-Khadrawry said, "is a security problem. It is weak in Benghazi."
In addition, many of those in charge of security have no previous experience. The commander of the Libyan Shield, as the new police department is called, was a driving instructor before the fall of dictator Moammar Gadhafi last year. The head of Benghazi Supreme Security Council, Fawzi Waniss, was an engineer.
It is unclear how many of the suspected 70 consulate attackers were Libyan. A 31-year-security guard at the consulate that night said he saw Algerians, Tunisians, Egyptians and Turks among the attackers. Many wore turbans and spoke classic Arabic, not Libya's vernacular, he said.
Top security officials in Benghazi said they have not seen any list of suspects.
Meanwhile, what investigation has been undertaken seems to taking place in Tripoli, nearly 500 miles away but where the security situation is relatively better. The consulate security guard said he was flown to Tripoli three weeks after the attack and interviewed by the Interior Ministry and the FBI separately.
Libyan officials are quick to stress that they want to do more but that there simply is no structure for undertaking such a delicate investigation.
"We are starting from zero. We are building from scratch," said Langhi of the General National Congress. "The Americans know the situation very well, and they will not let the killer of the ambassador go. But they know they have to move slowly and carefully. The Libyan people want to help."

Businesses that thrive and grow in the age of the customer are obsessed with customer delight: the most successful companies are reinventing themselves to systematically understand and serve increasingly powerful customers. This business reality creates new imperatives for everyone inside an organization, and infrastructure & operations (I&O) professionals are not immune. So the question becomes, how does I&O participate in the transformation of the enterprise toward customer obsession?
The answer to this question is important, because technology's role in business is rapidly changing -- from a world in which Information Technology (IT) enabled a company to function more efficiently, to a world of Business Technology (BT), which we define as technology, systems, and processes to win, serve, and retain customers. Yet customer-facing technologies aren't always (or even often) the traditional role of I&O. So how can I&O participate?
How about starting with a simple dictum? Spend more time on technologies that will inspire and delight customers, either directly or indirectly. To start this journey, I'd like you to watch this short video of how a digital billboard has gone viral:

The incredible emptiness of the Schoen-Caddell "proposal"
What's the dumbest thing about the Washington Post's decision to publish an op-ed by Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell [1] urging President Obama not to run for re-election? Is it the fact that it had barely been two weeks since the Post last published [2] a Schoen-Caddell attack on Obama (in which the Post inexplicably [3] allowed them to claim to be "traditional liberal Democrats" as they compared Obama to Nixon)? Or the fact that the Post didn't disclose [4] Schoen's work for Michael Bloomberg, a possible challenger to Obama? Or the Schoen-Caddell pipe dream that "if the president were to demonstrate a clear degree of bipartisanship, it would force the Republicans to meet him halfway" -- a fantasy undermined by the GOP's response to every previous Obama attempt at bipartisanship?
Or is it the Post's publication of a "proposal" for "address[ing] … our national challenges" that is completely without substance? Schoen and Caddell have literally nothing to offer beyond pleading for everyone to get along. They write, for example, that Obama's decision not to run for re-election would magically cause Republicans to work with him, and that this will make "boosting economic growth" possible. But they say nothing, not a word, about what should be done in order to boost economic growth.
Schoen participated in an online Q&A [5] for the Post today, driving home the point that he has absolutely nothing to say. The entire session consisted of vague platitudes:
By announcing he isn't running for reelection, Obama would "bring all voices together in a way that becomes compelling."
"There is a need to take the higher ground."
Obama "needs to govern as a centrist, and work on a non-partisan basis to solve the country's problems."
"The Republicans would be forced to compromise because the country would demand it."
"He would have greater leverage because he would put the country first."
House Democrats "would realize that the best thing they have going right now would be working for what is best for the country"
"Our broader recommendation is to govern as a centrist."
"The only way to move the economy forward is to seize the high ground that we are recommending and act for the best interest of America."
"[W]e need to put politics aside and do what is best for America. The most important point is that we need a game changer in a huge way. We must break the political gridlock and poisonous political environment in America."
"It is necessary during this specific time of unprecedented crisis and division for the President to rise above politics and put the country first."
That's the "proposal": Take the higher ground. Put country first. Govern as a centrist. Do what is best for America.
These utterly meaningless platitudes are all Schoen and Caddell have to offer -- and, for some reason, the Washington Post decided they were worthy of several hundred words of op-ed space and a Q&A.

Team Sinai Walkers Raise $10,000 for the National Kidney Foundation
More than 100 participants from the Mount Sinai Dialysis Program and the Recanati/Miller Transplantation Institute at Mount Sinai took part in the NYC NFK Walk in October.
On October 16, 2011 a group of staff and patients from Mount Sinai took part in the annual Kidney Walk in New York City, a fundraising walk sponsored by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). One of the largest walks in the nation, the New York NKF Walk raised more than $900,000 this year to help fight kidney disease. 'Team Sinai' was one of many participating teams in the New York NKF Walk.
Team Sinai was comprised of more than 100 participants from the Mount Sinai Dialysis Program and the Recanati/Miller Transplantation Institute at Mount Sinai Medical Center, who through their combined efforts raised more than $10,000 for NKF this year. The walk took place in New York's historic South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan.
With local offices nationwide, NKF provides free early detection screenings and educational programs for the public, patients, and healthcare professionals. NKF also advocates for patients through legislative action, promotes organ donation, and provides grants for kidney research. Approximately 26 million Americans have chronic kidney disease – one in nine adults. "Preventing kidney disease is more important than ever. Team Sinai is proud to have supported this worthwhile program," said Sharyn Kreitzer of the Recanati/Miller Transplantation Institute.
Other key facts about kidney disease:
- Every 5 minutes, someone in the U.S. experiences kidney failure.
- More than 87,000 are currently awaiting a kidney transplant.
- Every 2 hours, someone dies while waiting for a kidney.
- 382,000 depend on dialysis to stay alive.
- Early detection can help slow or prevent the progression of kidney disease to kidney failure.
- NKF has provided free early detection screenings to 155,000 individuals at increased risk for CKD.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
5600 rpm stutter
I tried to find a cam similar to yours on Comp CamQuest. It would seem your missing about 50 HP. That cam produced 411 hp @ 5500 and 438 lbs of torque @ 4500 rpms. The cam is XR284H, 2300-6500 rpm range, lift .507/.510, duration advertised 284/296* Now on those dyno reading if they were an avg hp and torque these are similar 232/283.
so that sounds fairly close but does that mean my engine has something wrong and should be faster with the components it has now or is running correct with these parts cam etc..
I was hoping the engine when built with these parts would have made it closer to 450 hp at the flywheel but maybe i had unrealistic hopes.
5600 rpm stutter
the results of a 3500 lb. car is: Your HP computed from your vehicle ET is 318.92 rear wheel HP and 354.35 flywheel HP.
Your HP computed from your vehicle MPH is 305.83 rear wheel HP and 339.81 flywheel HP. Something must be way off on that dyno!
not sure of weight but i would say around 3500
my 60 was 1.758
1/8 was 7.912 mph 86.26
5600 rpm stutter
You can check this website that cobalt327 referred me to. It has many calculators. Wallace Racing HP Calculator For 1/4 Mile . See how close you come to the dyno readings.
well with the stutter gone my car runs good but i'm not sure if it is running the best it can but maybe it is and the dyno numbers are messing with my head and maybe those numbers are wrong.
I ran a best of 12.498 at 106.63 at the track.

Accel Plugs and Taylor wires
I have read reviews on both of these products. It seems Accel used to make good products years ago. Do a search on best brand of spark plugs. I also read a thread on this website where a guy was using Taylor wires and was having issues with performance. Turned out to be a bad set of Taylor wires. Check them closely at night time for arcing. Maybe if you want better performance try a solid lift cam kit with matching springs. Maybe less money spent than carrying it to dyno shop. Look at the specs. on this: Howards Cams 112312-08S at Summit Racing.
go for the beehives with less mass it will allow your valvetrain to atain its max rev range and then some and it will do it alot quicker due to its lighter mass lunati and or comp cams make A1 quality beehive setups.
PS have you physically checked your springs to make sure one of you springs or any part of your valve train has not broken or loosened up ie rocker not torqued properly just a hunch
given my experience with Accel brand products.. I would get rid of those plugs right of the bat, and get a set of basic copper plugs in there.
I used accel plugs once.. had all kinds of problems.. pulled them back out and found several that had failed in various manners. swapped them out for some basic AC Delco R45TS (chevy 350) and engine ran 100% better.
Yeah, that sure sounds dodgy, him not giving you a straight answer about the springs. And there's the possibility the springs that were removed may have been fine- after breaking in the cam w/lighter springs. You should have gotten the original springs back anyway- I suppose he kept them to sell to the next guy.
You can get the necessary tools to measure with for not much money. Eric mentioned cheap calipers and just a caliper will do most if not all of the measuring you need to do considering you don't need 0.00001" accuracy. Even splurging for a snap gauge set isn't a lot of money, considering you don't need Starrett-quality tools to do what you need to do, although good tools are a good investment if this will be something you are going to be doing more of.
A valve spring compressor would be the biggest investment, you might check w/the parts stores to see if they have a loaner.
thanks for the reply's, I know this is a long thread and I am very appreciative of all the help i have gotten .
the wires are taylor 8.5 spiro pros ,the plugs are accel 0784 u grooves.
Yes Im pretty mad about not being told what springs i bought, I bought the heads used with good springs but didn't know the specs on them either and the shop replaced them because he said they were too stiff and put a set on from his shop and i never got a receipt for them but i paid for them !
later when i asked what they were he said "don't worry about it, it's not the springs ,it's the lifters causing the problem"
that turned into a heated argument because i said i had a right to know what i bought but it ended in a stalemate and loss of a friendship i thought i had.
maybe your right Cobalt that i shouldn't test it at high rpm again right now, it's been on the dyno this way so i figured it was ok to test at the track.
i'll have to pull the covers and buy some tools to measure everything.
You can get a functional digital 6" caliper off Ebay for as low as $12 or so, I paid $16 for a 10" that I carry in the truck just for general use when I'm out and about helping friends or at a swap meet. They may not be totally accurate to the .001" like an expensive one, but if it is within .002"-005" it's close enough for this type of work.
Howards Cams/Competition Products at www.competitionproducts.com has a very good selection of valvesprings at real good prices, you should take a look there.
A short primer on dealing w/service providers:
YOU are the "boss", in that you are paying the freight. This doesn't mean you can boss anyone around or be an a-hole, however it DOES sure as hell mean you have the right to expect an honest answer to any reasonable question!
Be polite yet firm. If you feel that you're being lied to or are getting the runaround, either decide to take your business elsewhere, or be content paying him to be his beech. I would strongly suggest the former rather than the latter.
If the dynamics are such that you cannot or will not be able to face up to this guy, it may well be too late for you to step up now, but let this be a lesson in how to proceed when dealing w/the next shop- the shop I hope you take the work to next.
If these are RHS aluminum heads, they will surely accept a larger spring than the stock 1-1/4" diameter springs, so that part should not be an issue.
Measure the width of a retainer- that'll tell you what size the springs are unless they're "beehive" or conical. In that case, the sides of the springs will not be parallel- which will be readily apparent by just looking at them. A beehive spring will be fatter in the middle, a conical spring will have a bigger retainer than the spring seat or sometimes vice versa (spring w/a larger seat end than the retainer end).
I wouldn't take the engine back to high RPM until the spring issue- if one exists- is resolved. The risk is dropping a valve, which will be a very costly bit of bad luck. If this machine shop is refusing to tell you what springs are being used- it is for a reason. And the reason is NOT to hide the fact they installed a good, high quality spring- of that I can assure you.
All that's required to test a spring for pressure is to remove one and hie it off to a machine shop that has a spring pressure tester. Some shops may have the tool for testing spring pressure on an assembled head, so ask what they're set up for.
Give them the installed height- that will give you the seat pressure. Then, subtract the valve lift of the cam from the installed height. That will give you the open spring height where the open pressure can then be measured.
The spring can also be measured for coil bind height, and the spring rate in pounds per inch can be determined as well. This should be routine stuff for any half way decent and/or 'performance' shop.
|I'm kind of getting in on the tail end of this but what kind of plug cables are you using? and what heat range plugs?
sorry don't know your answers , my builder isn't saying what springs he used and I haven't measured them or have the tools to do so.
I don't think I have a problem with bigger diameter springs.
I don't know what my heads will accept,sorry.

Arsène Wenger has made countless decisions during his 24 years in football management. Some he's got wrong, most he's got right, but none have been tougher than telling an experienced player he is surplus to requirements.
The Frenchman was asked to identify the least appetising part of his profession at his pre-match press conference on Friday. The subject cropped up after Wenger expressed his regret at Matthew Upson's decision to leave Arsenal in 2003.
The West Ham defender will line up against his former club at Upton Park on Sunday and is a rare example of a player who has gone on to better things after breaking his ties with Wenger.
The Arsenal manager has had to tell many less talented youngsters that their time at Arsenal is up. But he insists that having the same conversation with an experienced player is worse.
"It's harder to tell a player who has battled for you for so many years that his time has come. Nobody likes to hear that," said Wenger.
"You say to a young player, 'Listen, you will not play here, it is better if you go somewhere else,' and he still has the hope to do it. The end of something is more difficult.
"I've had a few tough [decisions]," he added. "I think the next one is always the toughest because the rest you forget.
"I have enough experience now to know that in life what is most important is to try and make the right decisions. People need to feel that you do it because you think it is right."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Re: Lists and polynomials
Thanks for the prompt responses.
Yes, IntegerDigits[] will definitely do the trick, I hadn't noticed it
when I was looking for possible functions.
I'm a real beginner here, so I'm taking the advice I read via this
forum and reading carefully through Stephen Wolfram's book sections
1.0-1.10 just to get started; I only skimmed it earlier
Also, last week, I bought "An Introduction to Programming with
Mathematica" by Wellin, Gaylord & Kamim from the CUP bookshop in
Cambridge - cheaper than Amazon.
Thanks again. I'm sure I'll be back!

You will loose money on a direct sale or trade to an FFL holder about 99.9% of the time.
A FFL will have to mark up the gun to make profit, this means he's going to offer you as little as you will accept in order to make more profit, that profit is what you are loosing.
If money isn't tight and you're willing to loose up to $100+/-, sure trade/sell it to a dealer.
But I will say this, you have your two carry guns, you haven't specified that there is "X" gun at the shop calling your name so you have the time to post it for sale on the boars, Sigs usually sell quick and hold their value so you won't loose much ( in the great scheme of things) on it at all.
You may not have to ship the gun FROM an FFL as long as it is both legal in your state to ship a gun Fed-Ex (about $30.00 for overnight withough insurnace) and that the receiving FFL holder will receive guns from a non FFL holder (that info should go in your sales ad), if those two things are OK, you don't need to go through a dealer unless you want to pay less $$ on shipping. A FLL holder can ship a handgun via US Mail (3 day) for about $20.00.
if you don't want the hassle of shipping the gun, just put it on consignment after checking around for rates. It doesn't seem like you're in a hurry to axe the Sig, so waiting a while won't hurt you and it will give you more time to shop around. Just be advised that if you put the gun on consignment, and it does not sell and you want to get it back from the dealer, you may have to do/pay a back ground check to get your own gun back.

Aaron Ramsey says a connection has formed between himself, Jack Wilshere and Alex Song as the trio "start to build a relationship" in midfield.
The central three have linked up in every pre-season game so far this summer and were particularly impressive against FC Cologne on Saturday with Ramsey playing further forward while Song and Wilshere sat deeper.
The combination also formed the spine of Arsène Wenger's midfield towards the end of last season and, while he knows there will be strong competition when Cesc Fabregas and Abou Diaby return to full fitness, the Wales captain is excited by their progress.
"Me, Jack and Alex are starting to build a relationship and are doing well together," Ramsey told Arsenal Player.
"We've shown that we are more than capable of playing together and are connecting together. It is an interesting combination and one that I hope I can be apart of.
"In the middle, we did well [against Cologne] and it was a good work-out."
The full interview with Aaron is now available on Arsenal Player. He discusses: the friendly win over Cologne, Gervinho's debut, his relationship with Wilshere and Song and pre-season preparations.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hello fellow waterfowlers ,
It has been a while since my last visit to the web site. I used to visit the classifieds and the various states, just to see what is going on . Tonight while a searched around the site , I checked in on the Faith - Spirituality forum. TO my
surprise , I never saw this section before . What a great way for fellow Christian brothers and sisters to check in with each other and spread the word. I live in southeastern PA. and have been doing public speaking for variuos outdoor groups, mens groups and young adults . Bringing men and women together that love the outdoors , love to fish and hunt and share the
love of Jesus Christ.
I would love to share my story of Gods Faithfullness and my Glimpse into eternity. In 2010 my heart would stop without any warning and would change my life and the ones around me forever. My story has been one that i could not keep to myself , it needed to be shared.
We started a web site http://www.craigcornelius.net to help reach out to those a little further out of the area. Please feel free to stop by and check it out. I hope everyone has a great hunting season , be safe and God Bless.

I just bought new exterior door handles for my 1973 chevy c10 pickup. I have the original manual but the installation instructions are vague as to how to install the rod to the handle assembly. They mention a view hole on the door exterior so the clip can be removed but I do not have one on my truck. I'd appreciate any directions. Thanks.
I read this in the Haynes ManualI think they're talking about the glass slot that glass extends and retracts from. Notice on page 308 that it says "(see section 12 paragraph 3)" On page 307 that section and paragraph talks about the glass slot. Back on page 308 Fig. 12.15 shows in bold on top of caption that "access for rear clip removal "with glass in full down position"I don't take it as a slot in the exterior of the inner or outer door skins.Hope this helps some. Atleast there's some other info there for you too.
Sorry, I loaded page 307 twice. Here's page 308
Here's a novel idea! pay attention as to how you take the original handle off, then you'll know the new one goes back on, The clip is for retaining the lock assy. in the door. This job is easier to do with the window in the up position.

Seth Meyers coming to Manchester's Palace Theatre for fundraiser
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader | May 05. 2014 10:07PM
Honoree and television personality Seth Meyers arrives with his wife, Alexi Ashe, at the Time 100 gala celebrating the magazine's naming of the 100 most influential people in the world for the past year in New York April 29. (REUTERS/Lucas Jackson)
Meyers, named by Time magazine recently as one of the world's 100 most influential persons, agreed to do the show after prodding by his former principal, Bob Baines, who is part of a steering committee for the Palace Theatre centennial.
Meyers graduated in 1992. He joined "Saturday Night Live'' in 2001 and did 13 seasons, before taking over the "Late Night'' slot in February.
Members of the theatre's 48,000-member email club get a chance to buy tickets starting Wednesday. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday.
Baines said he will introduce Meyers.
"I've been trying to search the disciplinary records," he joked, "and I can't find anything."

Promoting the Protocol in Francophone Africa
In our continuing effort to train lawyers and activists to effectively use the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa (the Protocol), Equality Now convened a lawyers training workshop from 30-31 July in Dakar, Senegal. Targeting lawyers and women lawyer's associations from 12 French-speaking African countries, the training was opened by Senegalese Minister for Justice, Aminata Toure, who stated, "We are completely open to you and your partners…the direction for human rights has been put in place recently and we are in the process of building it and we look up to you to kind of develop partnership for our own capacity-building." As this type of training isn't typically conducted in French-speaking Africa, many of the lawyers approached Equality Now after the workshop to inquire about conducting trainings in their individual countries.

What is the DO-IT Scholars program and how do I apply?
The DO-IT Scholars program is designed to help prepare high school students with disabilities for college and challenging careers, such as those in science, engineering, mathematics, and technology. It promotes the use of computer and networking technologies to increase independence, productivity, and participation in education and employment.
DO-IT Scholars are college-capable high school students with disabilities who have leadership potential. DO-IT Scholars are loaned computers, software, and adaptive technology for use in their homes. They use the Internet to access information and to communicate with others. DO-IT Scholars gain academic, career, and personal insights by communicating electronically with each other and with DO-IT Mentors. They attend live-in summer study programs at the University of Washington and participate in work-based learning experiences.
DO-IT Scholars program applications are due on or before January 30th. High school students with disabilities who are residents of Washington State are encouraged to apply on or before January 10th to be considered at the first selection meeting of the Advisory Board. Priority is given to students in their sophomore year in high school, followed by students in their junior year. Freshmen are considered on a space-available basis. After January 10th, applications continue to be accepted and reviewed until all available openings are filled.

|Mac's Mom
|Good job!
|What a good boy! any new pictures
Maybe a little progress....
Yesterday Dagr was probably the most energetic I have seen him, he was a land shark biting everything and we could not get him to stop.
We had two short outings including car rides. We met with the trainer for awhile and visited family for an hour. He was a perfect gentleman both times. He is always a gentleman when we are out.
At home, he was full of piss and vinegar, defiant and mouthing. So last night I started to teach that biting is bad and we stop playing when you bite. I was on the floor with him playing, he would bite, I got up, sat in the office chair and turned my back to him. I was amazed at his reaction, visibly upset. I repeated this three times using the term "No Biting". I would say, over the course of an hour, each time he lasted a little longer before he would start biting again.
I noted that still being on the floor with him and turning my back had no effect. I also tried standing with my back to him, no effect, but if I sat in my chair turning my back to him he sat behind me and either cried or barked but it wasn't a normal bark. It was more like he was trying to get my attention, almost mournful.
My wife and I discussed his behavior and came to the conclusion of, that worked now but tomorrow is a new day. Well today if I tell him "no biting" he immediately stops and sometimes redirects himself to a toy.
Last night was the first time he didn't make a peep in his create, coincidence? Not so much as a whimper. No fussing in the middle of the night until he woke me about 7am. He has been really good in the crate for his age but there is always just a little fussing.
It feels good to make a little progress even if it is short lived, but I'm still holding out hope...
Oh, side note: Friends over with a 6 year old little girl. Mom said, and she is not known for her observational skills..... That Dagr was very different playing with the little girl than he was playing with the grown ups. She said he was very easy with her and if he did bite, he didn't use hardly any pressure. Interesting.

National Institute on Aging (NIA)-supported scientists at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center suggest that estrogen therapy taken by post-menopausal women may significantly delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Results of the study appear in the August 17 issue of The Lancet.
This is the latest and best epidemiological study indicating that the use of estrogen may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. However, a clinical trial is needed before we can determine whether to recommend that women take estrogen to delay or prevent Alzheimer's, says Neil Buckholtz, Ph.D., acting associate director, neurosciences program, NIA.
The 5-year study of women age 70 and older found that among 156 women who used estrogen for 2 months to 49 years, nine developed Alzheimer's; while among 968 women who never used estrogen, 158 developed the disease over the course of the study. During each year of the study, 2.7 percent of study participants who took estrogen developed Alzheimer's compared to 8.4 percent who did not take estrogen.
Dr. Buckholtz is available to assist you in putting this story into perspective. To schedule an interview, please call 301/496-1752.
The NIA, a component of the National Institutes of Health, leads the Federal effort in supporting basic, epidemiological, and clinical research on Alzheimer's disease and the special needs of older people.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i like that mustang, i want it.
|I can tell you this - that seat here in NYC would have cost you 1200 for vinyl and 2000 for leather.
2 Car Garage
A 2 car gargage is great, but you will quickly find that is entirley to small to run a efficent trim shop. Many times i believe you will run into a issue where you have a few big projects going that cannot be moved with out complications and now you have no where to work on the simple quick repairs.
Working out of your house can be leary as well, Its great with people who know who you are, but when its a walk in or referal and they are trailoring in their 125k astin martin beauty they tend to get a little nervous or just turn around, which in a big nasty city can turn into a saftey nightmare.
ouch is right......lol
wow.......... that is HIGH......lol....
Dan........ I do understand overhead of a shop, but here, a buddy of mine rents a small place that will hold 2 cars comfortable with room to work for 450.00 a month and that includes utilities........ its the basement side of a business that holds a small store on top, a used tire shop in back and my buddies upholstery shop in bottom..... and theres a guy here , Steve Holcomb who runs and owns Pro Auto Custom Interiors does it at his house out of his garage, he does work like Interiors by Shannon, good lord they both do beautiful work ( google him, or youtube his name, you'll see what I mean )
and more tools ?....... lol.... now Dan, you know "boys and toys"..... lol..... I raced late model dirt cars from the late 80's early 90's until 06 when I finally sold out..... when I started upholstery I bought a juki lu563 and also have a consew 206rb, pneumatic hog ring gun ( had 2 sold one to my buddy ) 3 hog ring pliers, rolls upon rolls of different colors of thread, 5'x12' ft laminated table...... and the list goes on and on.....lol..... I think I am a tool hoarder....... but the more I read the more I see that materials cost are all over the board just like upholstery prices.
example: I have 2 places here local that I can buy vinyl for 8 bucks a yard.
sew foam: 1/2 inch 6.50, 3/8 5.50, and 1/4 is 4.50.... headliner is 7.50
and marine grade that is uv treated is maybe a buck more a yard.
I've got a guy in morristown that I get leather hides from ( just got 6 for Christmas, 4 black and 2 red ) from 49 to 52 sq ft each for 130.00 a hide.
and foam remnants, I get skins ( the outside of a formed piece of foam )
to line a seat with and other pieces of different thicknesses, lengths and densities for free from a shop here called foam rubber outlet.
so wiring a spring back together or using a carving knife to cut out a bad piece of foam to replace with another piece of foam.... I never charge for.
so I can see that prices are all over the board everywhere, just like they are here.
Also, please anyone that reads this, please DO NOT take it the wrong way, dont be offended by it, I'm just telling you of some of my experiences and cost of things here in knoxville, tn and I just started this post to see what you guys charge and cost of materials in other places.
Thank you guys and also Thank you Dan for always answering....... Eddie
oooooooooooo yeah...... one more thing..... you guys ever seen one of these ??????? I did the interior work in the back of it and thats my great nephew in the window, he's 2....... its a 1965 mustang station wagon.....
now you wanna stir up some controversy start some conversations about this thing........lol
I live in the Denver Metro Area, it is beyond expensive here in boulder county to live so the prices here would seem outrageous. typical bench like that in vinyl, no embroidery and we charge a min of 700 no foam or spring work included.
You also have to keep in mind average shop rent out here is roughly 4 bucks a square foot
so to even it out 100 bucks an hour and better be good at estimating lol
|You have to understand that an upholstery shop has more overhead, and also more tools and equipment. The customer is also paying extra for my quality and expertise. $450 to $550 is still pricey. If I don't have to repair any seat springs or fix or replace seat foam, I would charge $300 to $350 for a basic bench like that. That would be 2 1/2 to 3 yards of marine grade vinyl and the labor. I also replace or add new decking to old seats.
a brown seat I did
heres a pic of a brown seat I did a while back...... when I started this I thought it wasnt gonna look good, but when I finished, it turned out pretty good..... I did the center insert from 10" at the bottom to 16" on the top and it allowed me to have the lady who does my embroidery to make the bow tie bigger and we did it in brown also..... what do you guys think ?
then the other pic is of a blue seat I did for the same guy a few weeks earlier..... he liked the brown so well, he ask me if I could re-do his and put some different color inserts in it.......lol
Dan.... and other upholsters........ what do you guys charge to do a basic bench seat like this with no head rest ? total material and labor....
and just using basic vinyl....... ( not counting the embroidery, it was 35.00 )
here in knoxville, tn I charge 200.00....... a friend of mine who does upholstery for a living says 250.00 and theres one shop that ask 450.00 to 550.00....
now....... I just do this as a hobby and I know folks have to make a living but I think 450 to 550 is too much

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Volthair #1.5: The Death of Project 365: This zine was a small writing project I started in February, one sentence dedicated to all the puddles within a day. A very strange time in my life, this is a slice of subconscience and it's rawness. I only made it to day 96 before realizing, sometimes we can't trod the mud all the time. Maybe in a few years, I'll properly publish the real PROJECT 365, as for now, this is 'The Death of PROJECT 365." Includes: 96 days, 96 sentences, various Lessons of the day Shifts, a related poem, and a short story. 1/2 size, 20 pages

Right-To-Work Myths Unchallenged In Ohio Media
Blog ››› ››› BRIAN POWELL
Major Ohio newspapers used right-wing framing to cover the re-emergence of a right-to-work movement in the state after recent right-to-work victories in Indiana and Michigan. Though the narrative is only just developing, the Toledo Blade and the Cincinnati Enquirer already failed to challenge the veracity of statements from the movement's special interest supporters.
The Cincinnati Enquirer parroted the demand of the state and regional chambers of commerce that right-to-work in Ohio "needs the law to compete" with Indiana and Michigan." From the December 11 article:
As neighboring Michigan moved Tuesday to become a "right-to-work" state - and 10,000 protesters jammed the lawn of its Capitol - Ohio groups who support the laws say Ohio has to follow suit or watch jobs leave.
"When we are working with companies who want to investigate locations, the first question on their list is right to work," said Phillip Parker, president and chief executive officer of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce. He later backed off his statement at an afternoon press conference, but there are other indications the fight may be coming to Ohio.
A group called Ohioans for Workplace Freedom is gathering signatures to put the issue on the fall ballot. They need 385,253.
"Indiana has done this. Michigan will. What choice will Ohio have," tea party activist Chris Littleton of West Chester told the Toledo Blade this week. "This is economic jet fuel for job creation, wage growth and a vibrant Ohio economy. If two border states do this, how can Ohio afford not to do this?"
Meanwhile, the Toledo Blade reported on December 11:
As Michigan lawmakers prepare today to make the Wolverine State the latest right-to-work state, petitions are circulating on Ohio streets to put a similar issue directly before Buckeye voters.
"People are ready to double-down. ... Michigan has revitalized a lot of our effort," said Chris Littleton, former president of the Ohio Liberty Council, the closest thing Ohio has to a statewide Tea Party group.
He said the petition effort was sidetracked by the 2012 elections, but a meeting of regional volunteers last week was energized by what's happening in Michigan. The goal is to gather roughly 380,000 signatures needed by early July to qualify for the November, 2013, election.
"Indiana has done this," he said. "Michigan will. What choice will Ohio have? This is economic jet fuel for job creation, wage growth, and a vibrant Ohio economy. If two border states do this, how can Ohio afford not to do this?"
The assertion made by the Ohio chambers and the Tea Party source -- that Ohio won't be able to remain competitive without a right-to-work law now that its neighbors have passed them -- will likely be repeated in the coming months, even though it runs contrary to expert opinion.
The Center for American Progress and the Economic Policy Institute both found that right-to-work laws have "no significant positive impact" on employment and "no statistically significant impact" on job growth. Hofstra University professor Lonnie Stevans found that right-to-work laws yield "little or no gain in employment and real economic growth," and studies show that right-to-work states have lower wages among both union and non-union workers.
The Economic Policy Institute also debunked the claim that right-to-work plays a primary role in a company's decision to open shop in a given state when they found "not a single" business executive in Indiana who said right-to-work "made the difference" to their decisions:
Not a single company says it came to Indiana because of RTW
[The Indiana Economic Development Commission (IEDC)] is a vocal advocate for RTW. Yet, while the agency reports that scores of companies have "communicated" that RTW "will factor into their decision-making process of where to locate," the commission's Legislative Update report does not identify a single company that says RTW made the difference in their decision to locate in Indiana. The commission offers quotes from a number of executives who praise RTW, but not a single one says it made the difference to their decisions.

Sand and prime, sand and prime, sand and prime, sand and prime....well, you get the picture.
After a day's worth of that, I figured I'd had about as much fun as I could stand. Here's where I stopped, and here's where I start painting.
Good enough for who it's for.
I still haven't decided on all the colors yet. BTW, there is actually more of a flair than is evident in the pics. I may just cast the ear pieces from aluminum if I feel that cutting them out will be too complicated. The keyhole thingy is still left to do as well.

It looks like some early studies are showing the pain/fever reducing drug Tylenol may also have subtle but measurable effects on our mental state. It's interesting how physical and mental pain may share some of the same biological underpinnings, and also that we are still finding new discoveries about such a long lasting and well studied drug.

Hi everyone!
I'm not really new (I've been a member for two years), but I don't post much; I'm more the 'watch, read and learn'-type :)
My Fett project was put on hold for some time, but now I've got some money to spend so I thought this would be a good time to get that Boba started!
First off, I'd like to buy a nice accurate set of armor, preferably ESB. I really like the FP armor and the Bobamaker. But FP is not available and Bobamaker is a tad to expensive for me.
So... any suggestions which other armor sets are also high up on the accurracy-nice looking-scale?
Or if anyone could point me in the direction of someone who's selling a set? That would be really great :cheers

UPDATE: Black Bear Discovered in Tree South of Mt. Morris Has Climbed Down
UPDATE (6/18/14) The Ogle County Sheriff's Office tells Eyewitness News that the bear has climbed down from the Mount Morris tree, and is now heading west. The DNR will continue tracking its location.
UPDATE (6/18/14): The saga of the black bear roaming bear has gotten a bit more complicated, as the animal has now been discovered up a tree south of Mount Morris. Mount Morris police did arrive on scene but have since left. The bear seems somewhat oblivious to all the onlookers, occasionally lifting its head but otherwise just resting in the tree. Officials have said in the past the bear does not appear to be aggressive towards people.
The Illinois DNR Director has tweeted the following: @DirectorMiller I'm urging people to give the black bear moving thru IL the space it needs to find habitat & move on.
The tree the bear picked is in the front yard of a home in rural Mt. Morris, and the Ogle County Sheriff has cleared bystanders off the property.
'Eyewitness News' has a crew on the scene and will have more details as they become available.
UPDATE (6/18/14): The Ogle County Sheriff's Dept. confirms the bear was sighted in the lawn at KSB Hospital Wednesday morning. It has since moved on.
UPDATE (6/13/14): The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office received several calls of reported sightings of the black bear.
On Thursday, the bear was spotted near the intersection of Rt. 64 and W. Old State Rd. just west of Sycamore around 9:19pm.
About two hours later, it was seen near the retention ponds by the YMCA on Bethany Rd. near Rt. 23.
Then on Friday morning at 6:30, it was seen near Fairview Rd. and Tower Rd. just north of I-88 in western DeKalb County. 30 minutes later, the bear was found resting under a tree near the intersection of Fairview Rd. and West County Line Rd.SYCAMORE - There has been yet another sighting of the now famous black bear. this time in DeKalb county, and with the bear sticking around the area, some local leaders think there should be a law for how to handle them.
"That is not something you see everyday" said a DeKalb County animal control officer as she watched a Black bear run past a home in Sycamore early Wednesday morning. Although it has not been common in the past, the sight of a Black bear wandering around the Stateline has been a common occurrence for over a week. With photos popping up on daily basis as the bear makes his way through county after county. From Winnebago County on Saturday, to Boone, and now the 6 ft. 250 pound Black bear has been spotted into DeKalb County. Captain Hank Frazier of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources said "we are just not used to seeing a bear down here, so its kind of got everyone nervous or perplexed as to how it got here and where it came from"
The bear has not harmed anyone yet, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources reports that when humans do approach the bear, it runs off. "We ask people because it is a wild animal not to approach it, just let the bear be a bear. It is not hurting anybody, and eventually we hope it will wander back up north." Said Cptn. Frazier
Eyewitness News received information that the last known area of the bear was in Sycamore in a wooded area, and local legislators say that if bears are going to stick around the area, they want legislation that will protect the animal. Cptn. Frazier said the legislation is in the works down in Springfield, and the earliest the law could be passed is January 1, 2015. "The legislature passed a law that goes ahead and protects wolves' bears and mountain lions, in the state of Illinois because they are currently not protected and we are awaiting the governor's signature on that.
Others in the area are concerned with the safety of the public, and want to have an emergency plan in place Winnebago County board member, Ted Biondo expressed his concern to Eyewitness News "What if a child would have walked around the corner of that building? im just saying, there needs to be some action."
Biondo said he was not sure who to call when he heard of the bear sightings in the area, and thinks a state law would help with the response. "The states action so far has been to just protect the animal, and we need to protect the people."

Arsène Wenger has no intention of selling Andrey Arshavin.
The Russian playmaker has been linked with a move away from Emirates Stadium but Wenger remains a big admirer of the 30-year-old and praised his "efficiency" only last week.
Arshavin is about to mark his third anniversary as an Arsenal player and his manager wants him to stay longer.
"On top of [our injuries], we cannot lose players of that quality," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "It is too difficult."

Chicago • Daniel Carcillo scored the tiebreaking goal with 49.3 seconds left in regulation and the Chicago Blackhawks won their 11th consecutive game, beating the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Wednesday night to extend the best start in NHL history.
Jonathan Toews and Andrew Shaw also scored for Chicago (21-0-3), which reached the halfway point of a lockout-shortened season without losing in regulation. The remarkable Blackhawks have earned at least one point in their first 24 games, stretching their NHL record.
Dating back to last year's regular season, the streak is 30 games.
The Blackhawks broke the previous team record for consecutive wins with their 10th in a row Tuesday night, 5-3 over Minnesota.
Chicago's overall points streak is the second-longest during one season in NHL history. The 1979-80 Philadelphia Flyers set the league record at 35 games with a 25-0-10 run.
Carcillo knocked in a rebound with a backhand shot, his first goal of the season, after Semyon Varlamov made two in-close stops on Viktor Stalberg during a scrum in the crease.
Toews scored a highlight-reel, short-handed goal early in the third period, beating two Avalanche players to tie the score at 2.
Injury update • Doctors are optimistic that New York Rangers defenseman Marc Staal will recover fully after being struck in the eye by a deflected puck.
Staal was injured Tuesday night in the third period of New York's 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. The 26-year-old defenseman will be sidelined indefinitely, but was already showing improvement on Wednesday.
