For those waiting to watch the Oxygen channel's new series I'm Having Their Baby, it is time to stay up late because tonight it premieres at at 11PM EST. I will at home watching it, recording it on the DVR in case I miss something and I will be also be participating in the LIVE chat on the Oxygen website starting at 11PM that will be moderated by Liz Zack, iVillage's Editorial Director for Pregnancy and Parenting.
For those that have not seen the commercial for I'm Having Their Baby, this is 6 part series that follows different women who are pregnant who have decided to give their babies up for adoption. Each of their story's are different of course and some sound really interesting like tonight's episode, see below.
Mary's marriage was in trouble when she had an affair and got pregnant. Now she has to decide to keep the baby or save her marriage. Claudia is pregnant by a man who has six children with four different women and fears she will end up a single mom..
I look forward to watching both of these women's stories tonight. I think it would be incredibly hard to give up a child just because the father of the baby is not your husband and I really look forward to hearing Mary's story tonight.
If you like reality type TV shows about parenting, be sure to watch this new show by Oxygen that premieres tonight. I would love to see some of my readers at the LIVE chat tonight too! The discussions are going to be very INTERESTING!

SEO 101 on Google Local?
Hey Everyone,
My client has been having a rough go at ranking well on Google Local in the past few months. From what I have seen, it would appear that there is a different set of criteria for ranking well in Google Local vs. google.com. Is this the case? If so, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for a quick 101 on SEO with Google Local (I have yet to find anything on this topic...)?

Time for some more inane mouthing about my favorite subject….vintage analogue synthesizers. Next up the mighty Akai VX600.
As touched on in my previous post about the Akai VX90 Module, Akai were not really known for their synths. Most people associate them for making sampling affordable and bringing it to the masses. This is a shame because they made some lovely machines like the AX60, AX80, and the last in the line, the VX600.
The VX600 is a bit of an enigma. It was released in the Netherlands as a prototype by Akai back in 1986, which is quite late for a machine based around the Curtis 3340 VCO chip-set that had been doing the rounds since the late 70′s. It's the same VCO that you'll find in things like the Sequential Circuits Prophet 600, Oberheim Matrix synths, Roland Jupiter 8 and so on. Due to its complexity, and reports of its tuning instability, it never actually went into full production. Because of this, good examples are becoming harder to find. I got mine about 6 years ago from the Netherlands and it is in full working order thankfully.
This is why the Moog Rogue is one of my all time favourite mono synths…

Bioresearch MonitoringFDA's bioresearch monitoring (BIMO) program conducts on-site inspections of both clinical and nonclinical studies performed to support research and marketing applications/submissions to the agency. Links to the compliance programs for each inspection type and contact information for each Center's BIMO program are also accessible from this site.
Notice of Initiation of Disqualification Proceedings and Opportunity to Explain (NIDPOE) letters5These letters inform the recipient clinical investigator that FDA is initiating an administrative proceeding to determine whether the clinical investigator should be disqualified from receiving investigational products pursuant to FDA's regulations. Generally, FDA issues a NIDPOE letter when it believes it has evidence that the clinical investigator repeatedly or deliberately violated FDA's regulations governing the proper conduct of clinical studies involving investigational products or submitted false information to the sponsor.
Hi Vespine,No The Medical Boards have jurisiction in their area only. I am registered with the Irish Medical Council and the General Medical Council in the UK. The IMC find abortion reprhensible and a reason to strike a doctor off. The GMC do not. If i were an obsterician and went to the uk and preformed an abortion there. If juristicition did not apply to the IMC , they might strike me off the Irish register for actions in the uk which were perfectly acceptable to the GMC. The GMC are then also obliged to strike me off their register as I have been struck off a register with which they have an agreement. All because of an action which is completely acceptable to the "Medical Board" in a country in which the action is preformed.
Hi Vespine - I'll answer this in parts....
Quote from: Ice Wolf on Mar 16, 2012, 07:01:13 AMHi Vespine - I'll answer this in parts....Thanks Ice wolf.. That's a great reply, makes sense now. So if they themselves don't get prosecuted for what they are doing, there's no real jurisdiction for the licensing board to do anything.So, probably the only hope is that the FDA or the FBI eventually take notice and actually bust these shysters.... I haven't had much luck, i even raised it with the FBI attache in australia, but I got the impression they didn't give a shit, I emailed them 3 times and never got a reply, not even a "thanks for raising your concerns". ..

David's Homebuilt Guitar
So, this week's project is an awesome minimalistic guitar built by David (Shig).
He used an ordinary piece of wood that was laying around, added a bridge, plus tensioning hardware made out of bolts found entirely at the space.
He added a set of strings and an acoustic pickup he got, and voila. Electric guitar!

Cool Thing Of The Week -- A Tribute to the Kludge
This week, I'd like to pay tribute to something we're probably all familar with. The Kludge. "An ill-assorted collection of poorly-matching parts, forming a distressing whole" Now there are few words that have such conflicting connotations. (except perhaps 'hacker'…) To some it's the worst insult you can imagine. To others it's a mark of pride to have their work called a kludge. In just the last...

We've been having trouble with our Tumblr service. The problem was, as we grew, we began creating too much strain on the Tumblr API. We've since talked to Tumblr, made some changes to how we talk to their service, and we're back in business!
We've combined our Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter services into one website at FriendOrFollow.com. You'll need to create a free account, but from there you can link your Tumblr account and view your results, just like you could here. We've also added some new sorting options.
We planed on merging this site gradually into our main site, but our super long outage kind of threw a wrench into our plans. So, we're retiring this site early so we can focus on making sure the code on our main site is playing nice with Tumblr's API.

There are many advantages to having a meal plan including the conveniences of having someone else do the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning and giving you more time to spend studying and socializing.
Our Award Winning Dining Services offers a variety of food choices from an all you care to eat facility that includes comfort and wellness foods, to quick, grab 'n go options. Eating on campus allows you to take part in the socializing that goes on during meals, so that you to take the opportunity to connect with your friends and classmates beyond the classroom.
As an added incentive, only students on a meal plan receive a discount when using Dining Dollars at any of our campus dining locations (15% at Servo and 10% elsewhere). Patrons with Dining Dollars only (and no meal plan) will pay the same as the cash price. As long as you have your ID Card there is never any need to carry cash in order to eat on campus.
Changes to meal plans for upper class students must be completed before Sept 6, 2013 by 4pm.
U.S.A. plan - $2,540 per semester
The Unlimited Servo Access plan entitles you to unlimited meals in the Dining Center, 50 Dining Dollars per semester, and 6 guest passes.
This plan is designed for those students who:
Dining Dollars can be used at Ike's, Bullet Hole, the Dive, and the Commons.
SERVO Plus Plan - $2,540 per semester
The SERVO Plus meal plan was created at the request of upper-class students who frequently use the Dining Center for a majority of their meals but wanted the flexibility to exchange a meal at the Bullet Hole, Ike's, and The Dive. This meal plan allows the portability that the USA meal plan does not, plus it gives additional Dining Dollars, plus it allows access to Lite Fare without having to use a meal.
Traditional 12 Meal Plan - $2,115 per semester
12 Meals per week (reset every Wednesday morning), 200 Dining Dollars per semester and 6 guest passes.
This meal plan is designed for those students who do not wish to manage their meals over the entire semester but would rather eat a fixed number of meals per week. One meal may be used per three hour period. Meals can be used in the Dining Center or in the form of an exchange at the Dive, the Bullet Hole and Ike's. Dining Dollars may be used in the Dining Center, Bullet Hole, Ike's, the Dive and the Commons. This meal plan includes six guest passes per semester. Dining Dollars and meals do not carry over to the next semester.
150 Meals & 175 Dollars per semester - no longer offered
Apartment 7 Meal Plan - $1,110 per semester
Students residing in the following housing or in off-campus housing may choose the Apartment 7 Meal Plan or any plan offered. The Apartment 7 meal plan was designed to meet the needs of the student who may prepare a majority of their own meals but may wish to eat on occasion in one of the campus dining locations. This meal plan offers any seven meals per week (reset every Wednesday morning) along with 6 guest passes and can be used in the Dining Center or as a meal exchange at the Bullet Hole, Ike's and the Dive. As this is a traditional meal plan, one meal may be used per meal period.
Housing eligible for Apt 7 Meal Plan:
129 N. Washington St. | 43 W. Middle St. | Corner Cottage |
131 N. Washington St. | Apple | Eagles |
209 N. Washington St | Appleford Carriage House | Ice House |
215 N. Washington St. | Appleford Inn | Lau House |
25 S. Washington St. |
College Apts. | Smith House |
33 W. Middle St. |
Constitution Apts. | Van Horn |
Dining Dollars Option
Students who reside in non-meal plan required housing may add funds to their ID card to use in campus dining facilities. Dining Dollars accounts may be used in the Dining Center, Ike's, the Bullet Hole, the Dive, and the Commons. Simply tell the cashier that you are using Dining Dollars and your transaction will be complete with the swipe of your ID card. No need to carry cash to pay for your food purchases!

Apple forced to publicly acknowledge that Samsung did not copy the iPad
Apple must publish on its British website and in newspapers that Samsung did not copy the iPad. Samsung has taken a hit to its public image thanks to all the claims that the Galaxy Tab line is just a copy of the iPad. A UK judge has already ruled that none of the design patents were infringed.
Samsung issued this statement after the hearing was over, "Should Apple continue to make excessive legal claims based on such generic designs, innovation in the industry could be harmed and consumer choice unduly limited."
Apple is the undisputed market leader and they continue to sue companies that have a fraction of the market share. Apple is being the bully while pretending they are the victim.

The Relationship Between the Adjusting Earnings Per Share and the Market Quality Indexes of the Listed Company
The adjusting earnings per share can be more directly reflect the list companies the main business income's net profit. Selected the independent variables by the stepwise method in the 11 market quality indexes by the Shanghai Stock Exchange 100 listed companies samples, and established the multiple linear regression model among the relative effective spread, the liquidity index as the independent variables and the adjusting earning per share as a dependent variable. The linear relationship was significant and the residual random variable distribution was the normal distribution and the variance homogeneity assumption was established. Keywords: the adjusting earnings per share; the relative effective spread; the liquidity index; the multiple linear regression; the market quality indexes

God Did It (But I Don't Exactly Know How the World Was Created)
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
Does Evolutionary Psychology Explain Why We Believe in God? Part 1
When we look across times and cultures and find very similar beliefs concerning the nature of physical, biological, and psychological reality, those similarities cry out for some explanation. Since these different individuals have a very diverse range of experience, something other than common experience alone just might account for the similarities of belief. In some cases we can fairly conclude that there is a common nature – some fundamental similarity in how human cognition works – that underlies broadly shared beliefs.
A Survey of Clergy and Their Views on Origins
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Surprised by Jack, Part 3: Mere Depravity
"Man is now a horror to God and to himself and a creature ill-adapted to the universe not because God made him so but because he has made himself so by the abuse of his free will. To my mind this is the sole function of the doctrine [of the Fall]."—C.S. Lewis
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Shaping the Human Soul
In Washington DC, Church of the Advent teamed up with The Trinity Forum to offer a series of lectures exploring the synergy between modern science and Christian Faith. This presentation by psychiatrist Curt Thompson and philosopher James K.A. Smith addressed the process of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation through the lens of neuroscience.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 1
The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
Dispatches From the Physicalist Frontier, Part 1
I'm a physicalist when it comes to human persons. I believe, in other words, that we are wholly physical objects. I don't believe there are non-physical souls in the natural world. So I don't believe that we are or have such non-physical souls as parts. I believe we are through-and-through physical.
Rediscovering Human Beings, Part 1
That we are animals is something we hardly needed Darwin to tell us. It is obvious from the fact that, like other animals, we have stomachs and skin, eyeballs and ears, limbs and teeth, muscles, brains, and other organs. Yet it doesn't follow that we are mere animals.
Body and Soul, Mind and Brain: Pressing Questions
"Bit by experimental bit," writes philosopher P. Churchland, "neuroscience is morphing our conception of what we are." For many, this includes dispensing with the "soul" in favor of biologically anchored processes.
Science and the Bible: The Framework View
Although the Framework View has existed for about ninety years, its attitude toward the Genesis "days" is similar to that held by Augustine. He taught that God created all things at once and told us about it in the pattern of six days, in order that we could understand it. The days themselves, however, were "unknowable" and not meant as a "literal" description of the passage of time.
Southern Baptist Voices: Essentialism and Evolution, Part 1
If what has been called an essence (Plato referred to these as Forms, and Augustine as Ideas in the mind of God or eternal reason) explains natural kinds, it is easy to see how this would logically lead to the idea of fixity of species.
Southern Baptist Voices: A Response to John Hammett, Part 1
The Scriptures teach that we human beings have been created in God's image. What does that mean? I am in substantial agreement with Dr. Hammett on this question.
America's View on Evolution and Creationism (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
Saturday Sermon: Gloriously Functional
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
Behold, the Man
Anyone interested in the faith and science conversation knows that there currently is considerable, heated debate over the problem of "Adam." I'd like to suggest that this argument is in significant ways misplaced.

Good tip from Rach to get the family to try new veggies! I am not above hiding veggies in certain foods, ie veggies in pizza sauce, but isn't it even better when you try a new twist on a recipe that gets everyone actually admitting they're eating that ingredient? I recently tried Rach's Kale Caesar salad where she makes a traditional Caesar salad fressing, but tosses it with chopped kale and romaine instead of just romaine. It's delicious because the kale really can stand up to that dressing! I grew up thinking kale was the purple decorative plant outside people's homes, and while yes it is indeed, it is also a very delicious green veg. I prefer the kind they call "dinosaur kale" or "lacinato kale", which is flat and dark green. Plan B Mom, what deceiving tricks do you have up your sleeve?
What I am finding is that my son seems to have a meltdown hour, still at 8 years old! I happens around 4 or 5 every night and I am thinking this is when total exhaustion hits him because of course after dinner he is full of energy and can't get to sleep. I like your idea of giving them a real snack after school and then maybe a lighter dinner. I recently tried to sign my son up for basketball from 5-6 and he just couldn't make it through that first hour without crying. I thought fruit after school would be enough, but you have to also assume that they might not be eating everything you pack them for lunch so by 4 or 5 look out!
I totally agree. We actually don't eat until 7 most nights - my kids are starving when they come home from school and they usually have something pretty substantial - a bagel, cereal with milk, a sandwich - so they are fine waiting until then. I also do a lot of double duty meals so i will cook a lot of chicken breasts one night that I serve with rice and a vegetable, and then we will have chicken paninis the next night - no real cooking and I can throw them together in about 10 minutes.
You mentioned dessert - do your kids have dessert every night? I know my kids do (take after their mother), plus I am able to use it as leverage for them to get tasks done (ie, no dessert until they practice piano, shower, pick up their rooms, etc.). However, I know a lot of families who never have dessert or only on special occasions and think we are hedonistic over here.
Trying to start the year off by eating more meals together as a family-I am not home from work by 5:30, which is when my kids like to eat dinner. I feel bad making them wait for me, which may mean eating at 7:30, by the time I get home and cook the dang meal, but honestly, I don't mind it. They can have healthy snacks before I get home to stave off hunger, and the chance to sit around the table together, eating my home cooking and talking about our days is priceless. It's so worth it! Weekends are obviously not a problem because we are together all the time, but during the week, I am finding that this is am important ritual. Now, if they do eat without me, I can also convince them to sit with me while I eat and they can have dessert. As long as we have that time together, that's the most important thing.
I finally worked through my meatball issues and found the perfect recipe. For luscious and easy meatballs and sauce-delicious the day it's made and easy to freeze-read my latest blog.
A PS to this - so many moms are exhausted and think that's just the way life is. A friend of my ignored her extreme fatigue and it turned out to be severe anemia, which is also common in women. Ladies - listen to your bodies!
Here's a PSA for moms especially, at your annual check up, get your thyroid checked. I was exhausted, even after a good night's sleep, had gained some weight and was feeling really down in the dumps and wouldn't you know it but I have a sluggish thyroid. This is not uncommon, over 57 million Americans suffer from this, and it can be treated with medicine, which I am hoping will help me get some energy back!
Of course it is important to eat right and stay healthy and it has often been questioned if stress plays a role in affecting the thyroid. This is not proven, but we all know that stress takes its toll on the body so keep that in mind when prioritizing things.
Now that is adorable - great idea. Back to no-bake desserts, my all time favorite is still the Famous Chocolate Wafer Cake - store-bought chocolate cookies and whipped cream? Can it get any easier?
I am definitely making Christina's cupcake creation for the fourth. How cute is this?
I cooked all weekend last weekend, to the point where it was a bit too much. But read my blog on some easy dessert ideas and the one on leftovers. I definitely learned some lessons on how not to throw away food! My favorite? This Banana Crea, Pie which takes no time at all to make and is always a hit!

After 2 years in extreme back pain, 11 months of which in a wheelchair. I am now off all pain meds, walking and feeling great all thanks to Core Therapy and Pilates. Stephen and Susan have given me back my life!
Thank you Core Therapy,
Incredible Core Strengthening. I've been working out with Cheryl since she came to town 4 years ago and I have nothing but RAVES for her. She took a cardio junkie whose thyroid crashed out and turned me into a lean, mean, abs machine. I work out with a cardio trainer as well and he is SHOCKED by the things by Cheryl trained abs can do. I've lost over 9 inches around my mid-section since starting with her and I recommend her to anyone looking for tone and balance. She also excels in working around injury!

14 February -
Valentine's Day, what a joke. Created by greeting card companies and candy companies to prove to all of us how desperate and alone we are. They say that the suicide rate goes up around the Christmas season, but I wouldn't be surprised if Valentine's Day is right up there with it.
The loan refi is going swimmingly, as if any of you cared. I should be able to get back on my financial feet any day now.
I have a strange red spot on one of my thighs. I wouldn't have noticed it at all (I try not to look down in that direction too often, lest onlookers suspect me of nefarious designs), but it feels a bit warm and itchy. I absentmindedly went to scratch it and it hurt, like when you accidentally scratch a sunburn.
18 February -
My swelling has gone down. Finally. Thanks to all of you who have sent cards and letters. I appreciate the kindness and that you're all out there thinking of me, but it's really nothing. I was in and out of the hospital in no time, and I heard that the goats are doing as well as can be expected. I should've gone on a trip. I hear medical travel can be quite rewarding. maybe I could find out what was wrong with me, while relaxing on the beach….
Well, that's about all that I can handle for today. May the good lord bless you and keep you, and remember to keep producing and consuming at a steady but moderate rate. Your pal, David.
21 February -
It seems like weeks since I last wrote to all of you, but my nurse assures me that it's just a matter of days. I hate her. The condescending way that she speaks to me, as if I were a dog. I swear she enjoys administering the medication, even with the smell and all. Speaking of which, her sponge baths are a joke. I could clean myself better with a dead poodle soaked in dumpster juice.
Funny, I have to have a pencil in my hand even though I'm typing all of this. What does that mean? I notice that someone has been chewing on it. Gross. When I catch them…

Space weather experts expect 'minor to moderate' impacts to satellites and communications
By Summit Voice
SUMMIT COUNTY — Yet another major area of activity has bubbled up on the surface of the sun, sending an X-class solar flare jetting toward Earth.
The wave of solar plasma, known as a coronal mass ejection, will spur a geomagnetic storm over the weekend. For now, the solar storm is only forecast to have minor to moderate impacts.
The peak of the solar storm are likely to be felt on Earth starting at about 11 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. The incoming energy will probably also trigger a spectacular display of northern lights in northern latitudes. (more…)

Elegant Chiffon Sequin Sweetheart Neck Women's Evening Dress
( 2 reviews )
I bought this dress for my Engagement shoot, and It fit me perfectly. I was however quite disappointed when it arrived 6 weeks longer than expected and still had sequins and a lace up back when I specifically asked for no sequins and a zipper back. Other than that, I was extremely happy with the dress and will order from Milanoo for my wedding and bridesmaid dresses.

Classic comeback ends in shootout
Dolan earns spot, again
Checkers turn it around
Shaya's 10 Thoughts: Dec. 18
Holiday packs on sale now
Although it eventually lost in a shootout to halt its win streak at four games, the home team pulled off the biggest comeback in its history to earn a point on Thursday. Down 4-0 with under nine minutes left on the clock, the Checkers scored four times, including Zach Boychuk's goal with five seconds remaining in regulation, to force overtime.
Charlotte, which lost for the first time in eight meetings with Peoria, now leads the season series with a record of 4-1-0. Tonight's game is the last Checkers game at Time Warner Cable Arena until Jan. 16 and also the last meeting with Peoria until the teams clash twice during the final week of the regular season on April 16 and 20.
To say the Checkers deserved a point on Thursday would be an understatement, as the team out-shot Peoria 54-29 on the night. After coming up empty on their first 42 shots on Rivermen goalie Mike McKenna, the Checkers then scored four goals on their next seven shots to tie the game.
"Give the guys credit because it would have been easy to pack it in and get ready for tomorrow, but they kept coming," said coach Jeff Daniels.
"I don't think anyone would have bet on us coming back," said Boychuk.
Though the Checkers missed a chance to tie a team record with their fifth win in a row, the point lost in the shootout does extend their point streak to five games (4-0-1). In contrast to Thursday's game, in which they gave up the first goal just 33 seconds into the first period, the Checkers are hoping to do what they did near the end of last night's game right from the start.
"There were some positives in the last eight minutes of the third, and now we've just got to find a way to bring that for the full 60," said defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti, who kicked off the comeback by scoring the first two goals less than two minutes apart. "We've got to use that energy and that momentum and go from there."
The power play will be a focus for the Checkers, who had scored in two consecutive games to end their longest drought of the season but were 0-for-6 on Thursday, including a lengthy two-man advantage in the second period.
"Early on they outworked us, they were getting to loose pucks and they were winning those battles," said Sanguinetti.
The Checkers will likely turn to Justin Peters, who stopped all eight shots he faced upon relieving Dan Ellis after Peoria's fourth, in goal tonight. Peters has won each of his last three starts, giving up just two total goals during that time. Defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani is questionable after missing Thursday's game with a lower-body concern.

The Rivermen, who lost to the Checkers four times during a seven-game winless streak earlier in the season, came full circle by beating Charlotte on Thursday. They're now one of the hottest teams in the AHL, having won each of their last six.
Along with a penalty kill that is perfect in its last 19 opportunities, the difference on Thursday was the play of McKenna, who started the season as the team's backup but has split the workload evenly with partner Jake Allen over the last several weeks. McKenna's 50 saves (not to mention four more in the shootout) tied the most made by any AHL goaltender in a single game this season.
The Rivermen were also very opportunistic with the chances they did get, scoring four times on 20 shots against Ellis. That included T.J. Hensick's first-shift goal, a second-period, power-play tally by Mark Cundari and two goals by Chris Bruton and Andrew Murray in the first three minutes of the third period that chased Ellis from the game.
Hensick, a perennial AHL All Star, has six points (4g, 2a) in his last five games to solidify his hold on the team lead. Additionally, rookie Jaden Schwartz recorded an assist on Thursday to extend his road scoring streak to nine games, tying the longest posted by any player in the league this season.
Peoria's winning streak has them in a three-way tie for first in a tight Midwest Division, in which last-place Milwaukee trials them by just three points.
Checkers Notes
Comeback Kids
Down 4-0 with less than nine minutes remaining in the third period on Thursday, the Checkers erased a four-goal deficit for the first time in team history to earn a point against Peoria. Bobby Sanguinetti started the rally with two goals less than two minutes apart, with Riley Nash adding a third and Zach Boychuk scoring the tying goal with five seconds left to force overtime
Though it ranked as the biggest comeback since the Checkers moved to the AHL, the team has already had some notable rallies this season. It erased a 3-0 deficit (down 4-1 in the second period) at Grand Rapids on Oct. 26 and scored the tying goal with 13 seconds remaining in regulation in a game against Houston last week.
The Checkers are 6-3-1 when trailing after the first period, with their six victories the most by any AHL team in that situation. Their three victories when trailing after two periods (3-6-1) are tied for third-most. The Checkers are 7-4-2 when giving up the game's first goal.
Shooting Gallery
The Checkers' 54 shots against Peoria on Thursday were the most in team history, eclipsing 50-shot effort in a shootout loss to Rockford on Nov. 18, 2011. It also marked the most shots taken by any AHL team this season and the most since Wilkes-Barre/Scranton also fired 54 on Nov. 23, 2011. Since the Checkers came into the AHL to start the 2010-11 season, a 54-or-more-shot game has been achieved just five times.
For the season, the Checkers have three players in the AHL's top 12 in terms of shots on goal in Drayson Bowman (4th - 95), Zac Dalpe (5th - 93) and Zach Boychuk (12th - 86). As a team, Charlotte ranks second in the league in shots per game with an average of 33.2.
Point Streak
The Checkers have earned points in each of their last five games (4-0-1), marking their second point streak of five or more games this season. A point tonight would tie their longest streak of the season, a six-game run (5-0-1) set from Nov. 8-21. The longest point streak in team history was a seven-game streak (4-0-3) set from Oct. 29-Nov. 7, 2010.
Boychuk Bursts
After going eight-games without a goal, Checkers scoring leader Zach Boychuk scored his 14th of the season to tie the game with five seconds remaining in regulation on Thursday. The game was part of a three-point night for Boychuk (1g, 2a) that tied his season high set in the second game of the season at Texas on Nov. 14.
Boychuk is now tied for the team lead and ranks tied for fourth in the AHL with 14 goals and is just six away from tying his career high from the Checkers' inaugural 2010-11 season. He is tied for fifth in overal AHL scoring with 27 points (14g, 13a) in 29 games, is tied for second in the AHL with six power-play goals and is tied for third with four game-winning goals.
Boychuk now has a five-game point streak (1g, 7a) that ties his longest of the season. He has recorded at least one assist in each of those games, with his resulting five-game assist streak marking the longest of his professional career.
Bobby's World
Defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti recorded two goals against Peoria on Thursday, marking his first multi-goal game since the only other time he accomplished the feat on Oct. 31, 2009. Sanguinetti, who had previously not scored since Nov. 18, now has four goals on the season and ranks tied for ninth among AHL defensemen in scoring with 18 total points (4g, 14a).
In the Driver's Seat
The Checkers' current five-game point streak has allowed them to solidify the top spot in the South Division, which they've held since winning at Rockford on Oct. 20, a span of 61 days. They currently lead Houston and Texas, who are tied for second place, by five points.
Heating up at Home
After dropping a team-record five consecutive home games from Nov. 24-Dec. 6, the Checkers are 4-1-1 in their last six at Time Warner Cable Arena, including an active four-game point streak that is tied for the longest active streak in the league. The Checkers are now 7-7-1 at home this season and 10-2-2 on the road, where they have an active three-game win streak.
Player Streaks
Zach Boychuk has assists and points in each of his last five games (Dec. 11-20; 1g, 7a)
Marc-Andre Gragnani has points in each of his last three games (Dec. 14-16; 1g, 2a)
Justin Peters has won each of his last three starts (Dec.11-16)
Bobby Sanguinetti has points in each of his last three games (Dec. 15-20; 2g, 2a)
Riley Nash has points in each of his last two games (Dec. 16-20; 1g, 1a)
Drayson Bowman has points in each of his last two games (Dec. 16-20; 1g, 1a)
Marc-Andre Gragnani (lower body, Dec. 16) - missed one game

Once again, Michael Hiltzik clarifies the very things that need clarification, this time regarding the panic over the earned benefits programs Medicare and Social Security. Notice I didn't refer to them as "entitlements," which as Hiltzik correctly explains, is "a noxious way of referring to [them], excellent programs that most workers have paid for during their careers and that have kept millions of Americans healthy and out of poverty."
He notes that all the scary forecasts and assumptions about which we've been hearing pundit after pundit yammer are questionable at best. Predictions are simply not accurate, so to base a premise or long term policy on them doesn't make much sense.
[Social Securities'] trustees… also project that under certain conditions of economic and employment growth — all of them perfectly plausible — it might never run dry. You don't hear much about that projection because it doesn't fit into the narrative that Social Security is "going broke."
Healthcare costs, with Medicare and Mediaid as big components, have been projected to rise to as much as 40% of gross domestic product by 2082 if not restrained. That's a fearsome prospect, but it's based on a long-outdated forecast by the Congressional Budget Office, which doesn't use the same methodology anymore. It was highly implausible, if not impossible, in the first place.
For people like me whose eyes glaze over upon witnessing the usual sparring and doomsday scenarios, there's this revelatory perspective on, well, perspective:
To put it another way, just because your son is 4 feet tall at age 6 doesn't mean he'll be 12 feet tall at age 18. And just because the average American born today will live to the age of 78 doesn't mean that a baby born in 2032 will live to 100. [...]
The reason smart people and companies don't make bets on the distant future is precisely because it's unknowable. Try the following thought experiment: Instead of looking ahead 20 years, look back 20 years, and try to list all the events that have had immense, material effects on today's economy, but were unimaginable in 1992.
Here's my list: 9/11. The Afghan war. The Iraq war. The housing bubble. The crash of 2000. The crash of 2008. The crash of Lehman Bros. The iPod. The iPhone. The iPad. The founding of Google. Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Katrina, Superstorm Sandy. Obamacare.
So all these projections from all these commentators who have all these agendas are probably useless. And all these panicky "fixes" would be worthless, not to mention harmful, remedies based on faulty estimates.
The life span of a congressional budget is two years, max, because no Congress can bind its successors. But changes in Social Security and Medicare are forever. So when you hear that we have to do it now, stat! or we're doomed, take it for the snake oil that it is.
Hopefully, most Americans aren't buying what they're selling.

Leaked Nexus Prime app list shows no bloat but FaceLock

No bloatware? Don't play with me man! Is this true or what?

It is starting to seem that Google can make a deal with Verizon without conceding everything.
5. jogutier posted on 29 Sep 2011, 18:45 4 0
I believe that the last two Nexus also didn't have boatware, so it should be the same for this phone if it's branded as a Nexus.

they never came to big red though.
big news for android. thats def the right direction!

Only reason the nexus one didn't come to VZW was it was too similar to the HTC Incredible so they were just like "meh. we won't bother."
7. MichaelHeller posted on 29 Sep 2011, 19:24 1 0
That's why everyone was worried. The point of a Nexus device is a pure Android experience - no skin, no bloatware. Those are two things that Verizon has rarely done.
9. remixfa posted on 29 Sep 2011, 20:02 1 0
thank god samsung and Google are finally a big enough part enough of VZWs line up that they can start controlling whats on the phone a bit, like apple does... because you know VZW didnt give up its bloatware easily.
I hope they get to start doing that with other carriers too.
15. MichaelHeller posted on 29 Sep 2011, 20:39 1 0
I'm sure the trade-off was tethering. I have no faith that tethering will be default unlocked on any of the Nexus Prime variants, but Verizon least of all.
16. Whateverman posted on 29 Sep 2011, 21:24 1 0
Me neither, but I'm crossing my fingers anyway! VZW is the greediest and stingiest of all carriers, so I wouldn't be surprised if free tethering didn't make it. I think they had to do it with the Palm Pre because the sales weren't there. I was even shocked to see free navigation make it on the OG Droid. But then again, they couldn't hold off the iPhone with Env's and Blackberries for much longer.
20. remixfa posted on 30 Sep 2011, 08:22 1 0
have faith. maybe VZW is finally learning their lessons about dictating features on the phones only to have customers scream at them about it..... maybe.

at the time there wasnt much honeycomb bloat to put on it.. but im sure there was some VZW crap in there.

Shakeup at Enjoy CentreThree businesses locked out after defaulting on paymentsBy: By Megan Sarrazin | Posted: Saturday, Sep 01, 2012 06:00 am A former Enjoy Centre tenant responsible for three of the facilities� businesses was locked out Saturday after failing to pay rent. Bill Hole, co-owner of the Enjoy Centre, said the contract with Health Hub Holdings was terminated Saturday. Health Hub leased space for Water Garden Spa and Wellness Retreat and had a management agreement for Prairie Bistro and Prairie Baker. �I never like to see a person who�s leasing something end up defaulting,� Hole said. �I�d much rather it be where the lease expired and they chose not to renew it, but unfortunately this case happened, so we�ve had to move ahead and try to make things work the best we can.� Norman Hendley, CEO of Health Hub Holdings, said the company was two months, or $128,000, behind on rent for the spa, but was up to date for the other two businesses. Hole said the decision to end the contract with Health Hub was regrettable but necessary. �It was just something we had to make a decision to terminate because it was just going on longer than we felt was reasonable,� he said. �I don�t like to see things like this happen, but it was our only option.� Hole and his brother Jim have taken over Prairie Bistro and Prairie Baker. Hole said customers will notice a handful of changes in the near future. �With anything, when you build something, you find out whether it works and you tweak it and improve it and I think that�s where we�re at,� Hole said. The caf�, which was previously open on select days, will now be open seven days a week. Prairie Bistro�s head chef is also working on creating several new menu items. All employees were offered the opportunity to keep their jobs, with a handful of additional positions opening up to meet future demands. Water Garden Spa and Wellness Retreat was taken over by local businessman Morris Kadylo on Saturday, shortly after the previous tenant was locked out. He is the president of MK Group of Companies in St. Albert, which was involved in the construction of the Enjoy Centre. Kadylo said he has big plans for the 16,000-square-foot location. �I�m hoping to have drawings put to bed by next Friday and construction to start shortly thereafter,� he said Wednesday. There are roughly 11,000 square feet of finished space with an additional 5,000 of unfinished space. Kadylo said he plans to add a salon to the area and is hoping to create a child-care facility. �There is a need right now for child care at the overall facility,� he said, adding many parents have expressed interest in the idea. He said he intends to have construction completed in November, in time for corporate Christmas parties. In the meantime, he said services will continue without interruption. �There was no interruption of services. We�re ensuring that all former employees are being paid, we�re honouring gift cards moving forward, so for all intents and purposes, it�s just a change of ownership,� he said. Downfall factorsHendley said several factors contributed to the ultimate downfall of Health Hub, including a delay in construction, lack of foot traffic and a lack of advertising. �The abrupt death of the three ventures, sold for ($75,000) despite investment of millions of dollars and four years of work, is a painful shock to Health Hub owners and investors,� the company said in a press release. He acknowledged that the spa had cash-flow difficulties, and said negotiations were underway with Kadylo to reach an operating agreement. �What we were seeking to do was to continue operating Prairie Bistro and Prairie Baker, which we were current with on rent,� he said. Kadylo said he was approached several months ago to work with the Health Hub to help find a resolution to their troubles. He said he continues to work with them to negotiate a settlement with their bank, despite taking over the business. Although the spa was in trouble, Hendley said the �star attraction� at the Enjoy Centre, Prairie Bistro, was doing well, while the Prairie Baker was making money and developing a loyal clientele. �We were about to break even on the restaurant, which in the restaurant business, that�s a very good start,� he said. Hole was unable to provide a comparison for the performance of these businesses compared to others at the facility, adding that foot traffic varies depending on the time of year and events. Comments
