An Arizona City man turned himself in Thursday for several burglaries he said he committed in Pinal County, sheriff's deputies said.
Zachary Nelson, 26, then identified two accomplices, 24-year-old John Gaitland and 37-year-old Robert Acuna. Both are from Arizona City.
Nelson approached an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer on patrol and admitted to four burglaries, the Pinal County Sheriff's Office said.
Nelson told authorities he had also stolen a vehicle from one of the homes, PCSO said. Sheriff's detectives located the vehicle in a desert area before a truck stop in Eloy.
Detectives followed Nelson as he led them to each of the victims' homes. He then took authorities to his own home and pointed out items he had stolen.
During the course of the investigation, Nelson told sheriff's detectives the rest of the stolen property was located at a home occupied by Gaitland and Acuna.
Nelson was booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center on charges of first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespassing and criminal damage.
On Friday, PCSO mobilized its SWAT team to secure the home while detectives served a search warrant.
Just before SWAT officers arrived, Gaitland and Acuna drove off. They were located and arrested. Deputies said Acuna was carrying a glass pipe used to smoke methamphetamines.
Inside the home, detectives said they found stolen firearms, electronics, digital scales, stolen credit cards and checks, lawn equipment, tools, ammunition and other items. One of firearms also had its serial number altered, PCSO said.
Gaitland is a prohibited possessor of firearms because of prior felony convictions. Narcotics and other drug paraphernalia were also found during the search.
Gaitland and Acuna were booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center on charges of first-degree burglary, first-degree trespassing, criminal damage, possession of stolen property and several drug-related charges.

The Word: Rob Lowe says Amy Poehler's a prick
Why is Rob Lowe depriving the "Parks and Recreation" audience of his beloved character, the uber-cheerful Chris Traeger? He had no choice — he had to escape the horrible working environment created by his hellion of a boss, Amy Poehler.
Lowe appeared on David Letterman's show last night, where he joked that he and Rashida Jones are leaving the show because "Amy Poehler deeply offended both of us."
"Amy Poehler's a prick," he deadpanned.
Neither he nor Letterman could keep a straight face for long while badmouthing the most wonderful person in the world, and quickly admitted that she's actually amazing, and the world was once more sane.
After several years of stability, the "Parks and Recreation" cast will lose two key members at once this year. Rashida Jones, who plays "beautiful nurse" Ann Perkins, and Lowe will exit the show this season after the 13th episode, set to air in February.
Showrunner Michael Schur confirmed that he was working on a story arc culminating in both characters' exits. "We've been working on their storyline (on and off) for four seasons now, and heading into this year, with the two of them contemplating parenthood, it felt like a natural time to move them into the next phase," he said in a statement.

The state of Utah offered a bold defense of its ban on same-sex marriage in a brief filed late Monday evening with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing its prohibition of such unions is all about the long-term interests of children.
Utah has chosen a definition of marriage that is "principally a child-centered institution, one focused first and foremost on the welfare of children rather than the emotional interests of adults," the state said. "And by reinforcing that understanding, the state gently encourages parents to routinely sacrifice their own interests to the legitimate needs and interests of their children."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
That definition is not designed to demean other family structures "any more than giving an 'A' to some students demeans others," the state said.
But redefining marriage in "genderless" terms, as sought by plaintiffs challenging Utah's laws, would undermine the state's objective in promoting stable families and likely result in not only reduced reproductive rates but fewer children being raised in the ideal environment provided by biological, opposite-sex parents, the state said.
The state filed the 120-page brief at approximately 11:30 p.m. Monday, beating its deadline by 30 minutes.
Seven attorneys, led by newly hired outside counsel Gene C. Schaerr, crafted the brief.
Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes issued a statement Tuesday that said the state's defense of the ban is driven by duty, rather than any political motives. He said attorneys and staff working on the case have varied personal beliefs about same-sex marriage, but are united in respecting an obligation to defend the law.
"The legal question at issue is not the fundamental right of same-sex couples to enter into exclusive and permanent relationships, raise children, or bequeath property at their death," Reyes said, since Utah law already provides those rights. "The constitutional question is whether it is reasonable for Utah's citizens to believe that a child benefits most from being raised by his or her biological mother and father in a permanent relationship, and that such relationships should therefore be encouraged through recognition as marriages."
The Sutherland Institute, a conservative policy think tank that has been an ardent defender of the state's position, called the brief "brilliant" and the state's case "impenetrable."
"The people of Utah can have confidence that their overwhelming majority view of marriage and family has been well represented," said Paul Mero, Sutherland president, adding that the brief "sets the new legal standard in defense of the state interest in traditional marriage and the natural family."
Attorneys for the three same-sex couples who are challenging Utah's ban have until Feb. 25 to file a response, and the state's final filing must be submitted by March 4.
Oral arguments are scheduled for April 10 in Denver. The three-judge panel that will hear the case — as well as an appeal from the state of Oklahoma involving a similar ban — will be picked 10 days before the hearing.
Cliff Rosky, board chairman for Equality Utah, called the state's arguments a "disappointing" rehash of stereotypes and disproved studies about gay people and same-sex parents.
"The arguments in the state's brief are the same arguments that the Supreme Court rejected last summer," Rosky said. In striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the court found that the statute "actually harmed children, instead of protecting them."
"Amendment 3 has the same affect," Rosky said.
In its brief, the state argued that U.S. District Court Judge Robert J. Shelby's Dec. 20 decision overturning Amendment 3 misinterpreted legal precedents in two prevailing cases — one that upheld the right of states to define marriage and, in the United States v. Windsor case, that the federal government cannot interfere with that state decision-making authority.
Together, those opinions allow for a "diversity of outcomes" rather than a "uniform national answer" on marriage rights, the state said.
The state also said Shelby erred in finding same-sex couples sought access to a fundamental right; that that right is implicit in notions of liberty and autonomy; that history and tradition were "insufficient reasons" for a ban on gay marriage; and in comparing Utah's marriage laws to anti-miscegenation laws.
"Anti-miscegenation laws were odious measures that rested on invidious racial discrimination," the state said. "Defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman may be controversial in today's political climate, but it is hardly invidious."
Limiting marriage to one man and one woman, as Utah and 32 other states do, fulfills a compelling governmental interest rooted in tradition, social science and religion, the state said.
The attorneys said that while the state endorses no religious beliefs about marriage, its laws are supported by approximately 20 of the 25 largest faith communities in Utah who "understand marriage and sexuality as gifts from God" and primarily designed to bear and raise children.Next Page >

NEW YORK (AP) — Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says authorities will use three transformers to restore partial power to a crippled track of the nation's second-largest commuter railroad.
Malloy made the announcement Thursday at a press conference in New York City's Grand Central Terminal. He says the transformers would be brought in by New York-based utility Consolidated Edison.
Malloy says the transformers could add about 13,000 kilowatts of power. That's far less than the 100,000 kilowatts normally needed to power the Metro-North Railroad line to New Haven, Conn., which serves tens of thousands of riders in the densely populated New York City suburbs.
Malloy says officials will test the transformers to see how many trains they can power.
A high-voltage feeder cable failed Wednesday at a suburban New York station, causing hours-long delays.

Aug 2011 Rescue
by Tim Ajax, Director
Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary
Some people monkey around a little, some people monkey around a lot, and then there's Tim. He's a prince among primates, presiding over hundreds of fellow bipeds in the often-brutal Texas outdoors. There's no ape escape for Tim and his crew, but no matter. They love to help macaques, baboons and vervets live out their lives with as much freedom as possible. And like peeling a banana, Tim's blogs take you to the good stuff inside — with a steady supplement of Texas weather updates, of course!
Basement Baboon Finds New Home at Our Sanctuary
(The following was written by Samara Kalk Derby for Madison.com (Wis.) and was posted on Aug. 30, 2011.)
Monkey, the 3-year-old baboon that had been living in an East Side laundry room until it was surrendered to the Dane County Humane Society earlier this month, has found a new home at a primate sanctuary in Texas.
Baboon, aka Monkey, Comes Home

(The following is a Born Free USA news release that was posted on Sept. 1, 2011.)
The 3-year-old baboon who was surrendered to Dane County (Wisconsin) Animal Services at the beginning of August left Dane County Humane Society (DCHS) on Monday, Aug. 29, to be transported to the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary in Dilley, Texas. Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary is located on 186 acres near San Antonio and is home to more than 500 primates, many of whom were rescued from laboratories, roadside zoos and private possession
Make Way for Monkey!
More baboon rescue images.
Thanks to a collaborative effort with the Dane County Humane Society in Wisconsin, the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary was able to welcome a 3-year-old baboon who up until then had been confined to a laundry room! Here's how the rescue unfolded on our Facebook page:
Aug. 24, 2011: We started work today modifying one of the baboon safety enclosures — stay tuned during the next week for some exciting news ;)
Aug. 28: It reached 110 at the sanctuary today but we still managed to get some more work done on the baboon cage modification. Marvin was watching us closely making sure we were doing it right!
'Monkey' the Baboon (VIDEOS)
More baboon rescue images.
During the height of our heat wave we were alerted that a young male baboon needed a permanent home. He was living in a basement laundry room in Madison, WI, and the owner surrendered him to the Dane County Humane Society when he found out he would be cited and have to pay fines for each day he continued to keep the baboon. Though local law did not allow the animal control officer to outright confiscate the young baboon, the fine was large enough to persuade the young man who owned him to turn him over.

RIALTO, Calif. (KTLA) -- Police in Rialto have shot and killed a man who was armed with bricks.
Officers were called to a home in the 100 block of North Palm Avenue around 6:30 p.m. Thursday after a report of a disturbance between a man and a woman in the front yard, Rialto Police Department Lt. Jill Carilo said.
The man, identified as 45-year-old Anastacio Verduzco, apparently claimed he had a gun and was threatening to shoot someone, Carilo said.
When officers arrived, Verduzco had "bricks in his hand" and was "threatening to do harm to the officers," Carilo said.
He refused commands to drop the bricks and officers zapped him with a Taser, which proved ineffective, police said.
The suspect allegedly charged the officers with the bricks and was shot twice.Verduzco was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
He would have turned 46 on Saturday.
San Bernardino County Sheriff's officials are investigating the shooting.

Jackson Health System administrators delivered some positive news on Monday: They project that Miami-Dades public hospital network will close the year ending Sept. 30 with an estimated $40 million budget surplus a solid improvement over the preceding year, but not a sign that the taxpayer-owned system has conquered all of its financial troubles.
Jacksons surplus comes on the strength of rigid cost control, more efficient operations such as improved collections, faster payments of bills, more productive staffing levels and aggressive screening of uninsured patients for Medicaid eligibility and better-than-expected revenues from public sources, including Miami-Dade property and sales taxes.
Mark Knight, chief financial officer for Jackson, reported that the hospital system also will end the fiscal year with about 25 days of cash on hand an improvement over the 13 days of cash on hand reported at the close of the preceding year, but still well below the benchmark of 175 days of cash that financially successful hospitals are supposed to have.
And the hospital system is still struggling to improve in other areas of the budget. Net patient revenue for the 11 months ending August 31 fell short of projections by about 1.3 percent or $12 million, while salaries and related costs for the systems estimated 10,000 employees continue to exceed budget forecasts by about 5 percent or $37 million for the same period.
Still, Jackson and its taxpayer owners have reason to be optimistic about the hospital systems future, said Chief Executive Carlos Migoya.
This is ... an exciting time financially for Jackson, Migoya said at Mondays meeting of the Public Health Trust that runs Jackson. We set an ambitious goal for ourselves, pushing for a surplus of more than $35 million. Just a couple of years ago, Jackson would have been happy with just losing $35 million a year.
Indeed, Jacksons current budget performance represents a significant turnaround from spring 2011, when Jackson was close to financial collapse, having lost $419 million over three years.
More than one year later, though, Jackson showed an $8.2 million surplus for its fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2012, according to an audit released in March.
The financial turnaround has continued, and Migoya noted the importance of meeting short-term financial goals in order to project public confidence in the hospital system.
Migoya has spent the past few weeks speaking to civic groups and local media about the hospital systems need for $830 million in improvements to be paid for with a property tax hike.
Miami-Dade voters will decide in November whether to approve a bond referendum to pay for the improvements to Jacksons aging buildings and infrastructure, including patient rooms and new facilities that are expected to make the system more competitive with local hospitals.
Not only are we raising the funds to fuel our short term goals, Migoya said on Monday, were raising the confidence to fuel our long-term success in this community. That kind of confidence is going to be crucial heading into this bond campaign.

We've built the world's most comprehensive career test. Our questionnaire measures over 180 traits to match you against 500+ careers. Our mission is to help you find your calling in life.Take the Sokanu Career Test
Audiologists diagnose and treat a patient's hearing and balance problems using advanced technology and procedures. The majority of audiologists work in healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, physicians' offices, and audiology clinics. Some work in schools. Most audiologists work full time.
Would you make a good audiologist? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
Audiologists use audiometers, computers, and other devices to test patients' hearing ability and balance, determine the extent of hearing damage, and identify the underlying cause. They typically do the following:
Audiologists measure the volume at which a person begins to hear sounds and the person's ability to distinguish between sounds. Also, before determining treatment options, they evaluate psychological information to measure the impact of hearing loss on a patient. Treatment options vary and may include cleaning wax out of ear canals, fitting and checking hearing aids, or fitting and programming the patient with cochlear implants to improve hearing. (Cochlear implants are tiny devices that are placed under the skin near the ear in an operation. Cochlear implants deliver electrical impulses directly to the auditory nerve in the brain so a person with certain types of deafness can hear.) Audiologists also counsel patients on other ways to cope with profound hearing loss, such as by learning to lip-read or use sign language.
Some audiologists specialize in working with the elderly or with children. Others design products to help protect the hearing of workers on the job. Audiologists who are self-employed build a client base, hire employees, keep records, order equipment and supplies, and do other tasks related to running a business.
New audiologists must earn a doctoral degree to enter the practice. The doctoral degree in audiology (Au.D.) is a graduate program typically lasting four years. A bachelor's degree in any field is needed to enter one of these doctoral programs. Graduate coursework in audiology includes anatomy, physiology, physics, genetics, normal and abnormal communication development, diagnosis and treatment, pharmacology, and ethics. Audiologists must be licensed, and requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Audiologists work with people who are having problems with hearing or balance. They must figure out the causes of problems and the appropriate treatment to address them. They must be supportive of patients and their families. They need to communicate test results, diagnoses, and proposed treatments so that patients clearly understand the situation and options. They also may need to work with other healthcare providers and education specialists regarding patient care. Audiologists must concentrate when testing a patient's hearing and be able to analyze each patient's situation to offer the best treatment. They must also be open to providing alternatives plans when patients do not respond to initial treatment. They must work with patients who may need a lot of time and special attention.
Most audiologists work in healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, physicians' offices, or audiology clinics. Some work in schools. Although not physically demanding, the job requires attention to detail, intense concentration and critical thinking.
How much does an audiologist make? Let us shed more light into the matter and discuss a typical audiologist salary.
Two years ago, an online job search brought me to The Hospital for Sick Children in Washington, DC. From the name of the hospital, I didn't know what to expect.
Kristen Duncan - Doctor Of Audiology
I held part time jobs when I was at school and found I liked working with the public and I always wanted to work in a hospital environment.
While a lot of people have never heard of it (pardon the pun), there's a lot happening in audiology at the moment, making it a cutting edge, exciting and stimulating career option.
The profession of Audiology is dedicated to the diagnosis and rehabilitation of hearing loss.

Guest Update by Dr. John E. Niederhuber
Angiogenesis Initiative Fueling Collaboration
One of the most exciting new frontiers in cancer research is the increased focus on the tumor microenvironment. A major focus of this work is on the role of angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels to provide nutrients and oxygen to sustain the earliest development of a primary cancer or a metastasis. It was approximately 25 years ago that Dr. Judah Folkman first theorized in the pages of the NEJM that tumors needed to grow new blood vessels to fuel their development. Just 2 years ago, bevacizumab (Avastin) became the first agent specifically developed as an angiogenesis inhibitor to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in cancer patients to treat metastatic colorectal cancer.
Other FDA-approved anticancer agents - including bortezomib (Velcade) for the treatment of multiple myeloma and sunitinib (Sutent), which was approved just last month for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors - also have demonstrated the ability to inhibit angiogenesis. In addition, a number of new angiogenesis inhibitors are in development, including several in late-stage clinical trials, and researchers are finding that some already approved chemotherapy drugs, when used more frequently at doses far lower than standard cytotoxic regimens, target the tumor vasculature.
A number of common disease conditions are, as Dr. Folkman put it, angiogenesis dependent, including macular degeneration, atherosclerosis, diabetic retinopathy, and many others. That recognition brought together representatives from five NIH institutes and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to launch the Trans-Institute Angiogenesis Research Program (TARP) in February 2004.
Just last week, its leaders, which include Dr. Steve Libutti of the Surgery Branch of the NCI Center for Cancer Research (CCR), provided a status report to the directors of all the National Institutes of Health (NIH) institutes and centers. The directors were excited about what they heard, and additional institute leaders indicated their desire to formally join TARP.
The TARP group sponsored a workshop in the spring of 2004 that led to a number of important recommendations, several of which have already been acted upon. In addition to a number of new, crossdisciplinary research collaborations among both extramural and intramural researchers, several new Requests for Applications have been released, including one sponsored by JDRF that has produced approximately 50 awards.
In addition, the NCI intramural program has committed space and resources to establish an angiogenesis core facility that will help validate and develop assays and reagents used in angiogenesis research, as well as develop new assays. A TARP Web site has been established to provide information about funding opportunities for vascular biology and angiogenesis-related research, resources for investigators, educational opportunities, and much more.
In 1990, 198 angiogenesis-related papers were published in peer-reviewed journals. Last year, more than 4,100 were published, and that number will only increase. TARP has the tremendous potential to improve the quality and effectiveness of research in this field by helping to bring together vascular biology and angiogenesis researchers from different disease disciplines; establishing more effective ways for exchanging information, resources, and data; identifying areas of research that may benefit from more intensive study; and helping to train the next generation of researchers. TARP members are beginning to plan the next workshop to discuss state-of-the-art preclinical and clinical research on angiogenesis and vascular biology, and to promote interdisciplinary interactions. It is anticipated that this will be an annual meeting that includes NIH scientists and representatives from academia and industry.
According to one estimate, more than 500 million people stand to benefit from anti- or pro-angiogenesis treatments in the coming decades. Viewed in that light, it's easy to see why there is so much enthusiasm about and interest in this area of investigation. Its promise is great, and our duty is to fund the best science, encourage collaboration, and leverage our resources to fulfill that promise.

2012: Return of the small screen titans
Narayani Shastri
Narayani, another big name, also returned to the tube with 'Phir Subah Hogi'. Known for playing varied roles in 'Piya Ka Ghar', 'Kkusum', 'Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' and 'Mamta', the 33-year-old didn't mind coming back in the role of a mother of a grown-up girl.
Narayani is one to choose her projects based on her gut feeling, but she felt her role as a Raai dancer in 'Phir Subah Hogi' would be challenging.
"I just could not make myself do a saas-bahu. But I liked my character (in 'Phir Subah Hogi'), the storyline is good and, moreover, the project challenged me in every possible way - the language is different, the character is also very strange, the look is so different," she said.

Re Fred Grimm's Oct. 13 column, Nothing good about execution of mentally ill man: If ever a crime merited the the death penalty, it is this one. I don't care about the drug-house murders. It is the Hialeah rape and murders that I am talking about. Belinda Worley's father was a co-worker at Eastern Airlines and a dear friend of all who had the good fortune of knowing him. He learned his trade serving a 20-year hitch as a Marine Corps aviation technician.
Larry Worley was a good man and loved his daughter dearly. For him to endure the pain of her murder is impossible to imagine. Larry took about a week off from work before returning to the job. The men on his crew found it devastating to face him and offer condolences.
After the demise of Eastern I lost contact with Larry. I just hope he is alive somewhere to cash his "retribution" check.

ill pass on CA. It is for those A-Holes who want to buy Gurkha cigars for 250,000. I also will never in my life time be able to afford a Ferrari, Bently, or Trips to Scottland to play golf.
This is not a personal attack on the readers just my thoughts. Oh and I love how they gave Shakin cigar of the year last year. LOL
The latest issue is pretty good, has a great review on the top 25 sticks of 2010. Also a nice section on quality budget smokes.
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
I'll read it at my B&M for free
"If it wasn't for the tattooed barbarians that live and die on world battlefronts, where in hell would America be today?" -Norman 'Sailor Jerry' Collins
I like the mag, I'm in the mag/publishing business so it's always nice to see a well-done mag (layout, photos, content, etc.). I just subscribed and got my first issue (Dec) and have read it cover to cover and LOVED it. I really enjoyed ALL the articles (with the exception of the basketball one, scanned the pix and moved on) with the Scotch and Belushi articles being my favorites. I look at it this way - if a magazine provides info and entertainment and draws me in, I'm going to read it. Do I read it for the reviews? Nope, but I do look at them.
I'm in the minority. I don't like it. Very little about cigars.
I tend to go ECJ, Smoke or CP.
I don't subscribe but pick up a copy when flying. I enjoy the lifestyle articles. Looking forward to the February interview with Paul Giamatti.

I won a subscription in a contest on another board. I doubt that I'd pay for a subscription, but it's not a bad mag if you take their reviews with several grains of salt.
Last issue they had an article about some reporter babe, and there was a picture of her with a cigar so obviously airbrushed in that it was laughable. I called them out on it, and Mottola said that it was some kind of gargantuan 8x54 thing or something. LOL. All the skinny cigar smoking babes that I know go for those Flor de Oliva Giants.
The Feb. Issue was actually crappy. :(
"And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a Smoke."
-Rudyard Kipling
What I dont like all the time is how they seem to review so many Cubans. Its nice looking at the reviews, but when half, including the top ones, are ones I cant get its kind of annoying.
I more or less thumb through the mag at the store, and read some reviews. Then read the articles and reviews online from there website. I may buy the occasional mag, if it looks like a lot of good content.
"A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke"
It's good toilet reading, lol. I usually re-up when they have the 2 years for $20 deal.

G73 Oilers at Predators
The young group of forwards currently in the Oilers employ should probably ask for asylum at the Grand Ole Opry after tonight's game. All that jazz up front added to that Nashville sound would make for beautiful music into June every year.
We had a nice chat in the post below about Oscar Klefbom and his immediate future. My sense is that the Oilers will likely sign him and then send him back to (or have him stay in) Sweden for another year. Why? First, there's no hurry. The club can afford to be patient with their teenage defensemen–even the first rounders–because there just aren't very many of them who can play NHL hockey effectively.
Plus they have an enormous graduating class–potentially Martin Marincin, Jeremie Blain, Brandon Davidson and Kyle Bigos–and may want to sign Klefbom, Gernat and Musil from the 2011 draft. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the Oilers draft Ryan Murray or Griffin Reinhart (more in a minute) and then sign Klefbom. Let's say they also add an NHL defenseman and decide against re-signing Cam Barker.
- Ladislav Smid (signed through 2013 summer)
- Jeff Petry (RFA likely to sign multi-year deal)
- Free agent addition
- Ryan Whitney (signed through 2013 summer)
- Nick Schultz (signed through 2014 summer)
- Ryan Murray or Griffin Reinhart (entry level)
- Oscar Klefbom (entry level)
- Andy Sutton (signed through 2013 summer)
- Theo Peckham (extremely unlikely to return)
There. I've placed Smid-Petry at the top and after that it's the UFA/trade addition and Whitney or Schultz depending on the quality of the addition or Whitney's health. That's 7.
- Corey Potter (signed through 2014 summer to NHL deal)
- Alex Plante (RFA this summer, effective AHL player)
- Taylor Chorney (RFA this summer, effective AHL player)
- Taylor Fedun
- Colten Teubert
- Martin Marincin (rookie pro, entry level deal kicks in)
- Jeremie Blain
- Brandon Davidson
- Kyle Bigos (has one more year of NCAA eligibility)
We're at 18 names and haven't added in those AHL veterans (Bryan's Helmer and Rodney this season) yet. So we're about 20 names deep for Edmonton, OKC and a couple in Stockton. Seems at least three too many, no?
Let's say Edmonton goes with 18D and 5G, leaving 27 forwards for their 50-man list. This past season Edmonton's 50-man list included 13D (plus Marincin, whose contract doesn't count toward the 50 since he was sent back to junior) and 4G, plus 30 forwards.
- Shawn Horcoff
- Ryan Smyth (UFA but likely to be signed)
- Ales Hemsky
- Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
- Taylor Hall
- Jordan Eberle
- Sam Gagner
- Eric Belanger
- Ryan Jones
- Ben Eager
- Linus Omark
- Teemu Hartikainen
- Magnus Paajarvi
- Tyler Pitlick
- Curtis Hamilton
- Mark Arcobello
- Anton Lander
- Chris Vande Velde (RFA)
- Tanner House
- Cameron Abney
- Phil Cornet
- Ryan Martindale
- Antti Tyrvainen
- Hunter Tremblay (RFA)
- Milan Kytnar (RFA)
- Drew Czerwonka (graduating junior)
- Kristians Pelss (graduating junior)
plus the forwards who will make the 50-man list and play in the AHL (Josh Green, Ryan Keller, Arcobello this past season). Plus of course the Oilers will no doubt want to add and subtract from the forward group.
I get 29 forwards, 20 defensemen and 4 goalies. 53.
Finally, Murray-Reinhart. My sense is that the Oilers will draft a franchise defenseman this season, in the belief this will be their last lottery pick for ages. The club may miss the playoffs again next year–that would be my bet today–but getting a can't miss player at #10 is not always possible.
Anyway, that's my premise. Draft Murray, send Klefbom back signed. If Murray can make the grade out of camp and continues to play well during his early season audition, then it's wonderful news. If not, send them both back and get things started 2013 fall.

Programmable Thermostats: A Three-Month Review
Published on - August 10th, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
How much can a programmable thermostat save you? A lot, says Adam Gurno. His is the first guest-post while I'm on vacation
Due to the rising cost of, well, everything, my wife and I decided to make some changes to see if we could save some money. I had always heard that programmable thermostats were an easy way to reduce utility bills, so I took the plunge and bought one.
Then I sat down and created a spreadsheet to track exactly how much we were saving, if any. In the three summer months since it was installed, we've saved nearly 1000 KWH of electricity and it has repaid itself 150%. When winter hits (we're in Minnesota), I expect to see these same sort of savings with my natural gas usage.
You can read more about the thermostat in this Flickr photo set.
The U.S. government's Citizen Information Center has an excellent article on choosing a programmable thermostat.
Before you buy a programmable thermostat, chart your weekly habits including wake up and departure times, return home times, and bedtimes, and the temperatures that are comfortable during those times. This will help you decide what type of thermostat will best serve your needs.
For more information on reducing your energy costs, see Michael Bluejay's excellent Saving Electricty site.
This article is about Frugality, House and Home, Real-Life
Absolutely agree. One of the first things I bought when I got my house was a programmable thermostat. Best $40 I ever spent.
Previous to that, I had one of those old ancient dial type thermostats.
Paid for itself the first month. Gravy ever since.
Highly recommend every homeowner check into it.
Pacific Gas and Electric company also provides a $10 rebate when purchasing a programmable thermostat. You get paid to save!
And, don't forget to use the thermostat's "hold" function when you're on vacation to set a temp and leave it at that.
Can renters ever install these?
Through a glass – Just ask the landlord. My tenant asked me if she could replace her's and I let her. There is no reason to say no, it's an improvement!
I have an older model that came with my house. It's great. I'd love to tweak a few of the settings, but I don't have the directions. How hard is it to swap out a thermostat?
Not that I want to encourage people to risk breaking their leases… but I would install these in my apartments without notifying the property. Of course, I removed it and reinstalled the original one when I moved out so they where none the wiser.
When I bought my house, it came with one. I think they are a must-have in TX.
One piece of advice… don't go hog wild with the temperature swings. There is a cross-over point that where the ac/heat will have to run continuously to restore the temperature and kill your energy savings. I heard once upon a time that the rule of thumb is 5 degrees. So if you keep your house at 78 normally… and let it rise during the day… don't go more than 83. I have no hard data to back-up that rule, but I feel like it makes a certain degree of since.
How are these better than just turning the thermostat up and down manually? Growing up that's what my parents did and so its second nature to me now.
It doesn't seem like there's anything inherent in a thermostat that you couldn't do yourself once you go tinto the habit.
JD and others: I thought you might be interested in this: it actually monitors how much money you're spending on electricity in real time.
(If the link doesn't work, go to Houstonist.com and search for "cent-a-meter")
I've been reading up on these for a while now. It seems that the best bet is the same as lights. If your not in the house, turn it off. It uses less energy to remove all of the heat at once, instead of maintaining a specific temp. (Mostly referenced from Michael Bluejay's site)
These are nice; shut it down when you leave, have it come on just before you come home for maximum comfort and convenience.
I don't care much for comfort so….
I've been turning mine, physically, off when I leave for the day and back on when I get home. It's a little warm when I get home, but for the sake of this website, my electric bills have dropped by about half from last year(over $140 to around $60/mo.). I've done some other energy savings so I cannot be sure how much I have really been saving.
[...] Adam Gurno for his Programmable Thermostats: A Three-Month Review [...]
[...] Turn down the heat in winter. Turn down the air conditioning in summer. Especially when you're asleep or away from home. (See also.) [...]
They work to save money but more importantly the digital temp guages and smart heating/cooling is much more accurate than a manual thermostat with mercury thermometers inside. A must have in my opinion.
[...] part of our effort to keep costs down, we use a programmable thermostat to automate the furnace. When we're away (or asleep), we keep the temperature at 54 degrees [...]
I am not impressed by programmable thermostat at all. It has actually caused my power bill to increase. I had it set to go between 65 and 70 degrees while I was away and at home. The stupid thing would bring on both the heat pump and electric backup heat at the same time about 10min before I got home in order to have the house at the desired temperature. I find this so inefficient it isn't funny, being an engineer by trade it really annoys me.
If the temperature called for is greater than 2 degrees of what the house temp currently is a thermostat will bring in the electric backup. I think the logic should be programmed as to integrate the temperature change over a greater period of time allowing the heat pump to do the majority of work. Think about walking up steps its a lot easier to do it one step at a time instead of jumping all the way to the top at once, which is how your current programmable thermostat works.
I have now set my thermostat to vary between two degrees 65 for away/sleep time and 67 for awake time that way the electric heat stays off.
Just my $0.02
Thomas, You may want to check the compatibility of your programmable thermostat with your heating system. It sounds like you have a dual stage heat pump, and many models are not compatible with this type of system, and are compatible only with single stage heat pumps. If you do indeed have a dual stage heat pump make sure you get a programmable model that is specifically compatible.
I'm with jccalhoun. How are these things all that much better than manually setting your thermostat? I turn ours down when I go to bed and turn it back up when I get up in the morning. It's chilly when I first get up but only takes a few minutes for the house to warm back up. When I'm going to be gone from home for a while I set it back down and again, undertake the horribly difficult task of turning it back up when I get home. Programmable thermostats make sense if you're a) forgetful b)insist on the house being warm when you get up or, c) too lazy to use your fingers to turn the thermstat up and down.

Blog and Forum module integration
2 September 2008 at 7:41pm Last edited: 2 September 2008 7:42pm
This is my first post in this Forum.
I have been playing around with Silver Stripe and I really like this CMS but I have some questions.
1. I want to be able to have the members who sign up in the forum module to be able to comment in the Blog module as members.
2. I want to integrate Avatars in the comments and that the Avantar links back to their profile in the forum.
3. I want to be able to list Comments as well as Forum posts in the forum profile and be able to link back to the relevant post.
I been spending quite some time searching the forum for answers for question number 1 above. Maybe this is already implemented in Silverstripe but I can't figure out how to activate it?
Anyway I looking forward to a reply. It should be great if I could use SilverStripe for my project and I'm prepared to spend some time hacking it, and contribute with code.

Hi Jorne and welcome to the forum!
Everything you list there is very much doable in SilverStripe with a bit of tweaking!.
1) For example we did forum member / commenting syncing for a recent site - http://www.californiawomen.org/ - Only members of the forum could use comments so you can add this to your _config.php file - PageComment::set_comments_require_login(true); which will show a login button before they could post or there name prefilled if logged in.
2) Avatars in the comment I havent done before. But the 2 key files while editing comments are PageComment.php and PageCommentInterface.php in cms/code/sitefeatures/ and the templates (.ss files with the same names in cms/templates/) for the Avatar you could copy cms/templates/PageComment_singlecomment.ss to your themes templates directory (so your changes dont get lost when you upgrade and you can add this to itI think that should get the authors avatar.
<% if Author %>
<% end_if %>
3) Again, I dont know your programming esp but its just 1 SQL query to get the latest comments. Eg define this method on forum/code/ForumMemberProfile.php in the ForumMemberProfile_Controller
function LatestComments() {
$member = Member::currentUser();
if(!$member) return false;
$comments = DataObject::get("PageComment", "AuthorID = '$member->ID'","Created DESC","",10);
return $comments;
Then in the template (ForumMemberProfile_show.ss) you can do
<% control LatestComments %>
<% end_control %>
Which will output all the posts from our LatestComments method we defined in the step before

January 31, 2012, 11:39 AM — Companies long have grappled with glitches in their ERP (enterprise resource planning) system implementations -- a situation that the recent botched-rollout record suggests won't get better any time soon. While ERP projects go awry for many reasons, each incident reveals its own set of troublesome repercussions, financial and otherwise.
IT, of course, is the first to get the call for repairs. But the CFO is rarely far behind.
"All roads lead to finance," said Mark Gandy, a partner at b2bcfo.com, a firm that offers finance-chief services to businesses. "The CIO typically has been involved with the technology issues ... but CFOs have a broad understanding of the entire business." (Gandy also works with Focus.com, a business professional social network whose members offer advice on a range of IT and business topics.)
Where once SAP was at the root of most ERP complaints -- and Gandy recalled how in the 1990s the common complaint reflected "failed SAP implementations" -- customers are plagued now by unrealistic claims from a host of ERP sellers, said Forrester Research analyst China Martens. And muddled messages from companies looking to upgrade add to the confusion caused by the stories of troubled rollouts.
"It's like the company and the vendor have been speaking two different languages, and then things go wildly off track," she said. "Sometimes ERP vendors oversold it and are promising things it can't do. Other times the company hasn't been very clear on what it's trying to do."
And at that point, CFOs who are involved in the ERP selection and deployment process can help mitigate the issues that may jeopardize operations and revenue generation. Further, they can bring a vital, enterprise-wide perspective to the process, since they understand how each department in a company operates and contributes to the bottom line.
Three examples among the many failed, and costly, deployments of 2011 help demonstrate the current ERP situation.
Montclair State University in New Jersey sued Oracle after the vendor allegedly fumbled the installation of software to replace the school's legacy systems. Montclair State may need to spend around US$20 million to finish the job, according to its lawsuit.

EXETER – When Ted, the enormous and friendly Percherson draft horse – who, with his brother, were stars of Wickford's Christmas Festival of Lights and other local hayrides – died suddenly in mid-December of 2011, his owners, Jack and Julie Kliever were bereft.
Julie admits that she was so distraught by Ted's loss she wasn't sure she wanted to continue with their horse-drawn carriage and hayride business known as New Deal Farm. It was Jack who convinced her to go forward

EXETER—The continuing debate over whether or not the town clerk of Exeter should be required to hand out gun permits reached a new level Monday night as the Exeter Town Council voted, 3-2, to pass a resolution on to state legislators asking Rhode Island to revise its current law and grant Exeter an exception.

Garbutt booked on Colchester debut in 2-2 draw at Bradford.

Luke Garbutt made his Colchester United debut at the weekend in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Bradford City.
The Bantams went ahead on 15 minutes, with Nahki Wells continuing his impressive scoring run.
Garbutt's first appearance for the U's was then tarnished with a booking for bringing down Garry Thompson.
Despite falling behind, Colchester responded with a quick double through Jeffrey Monakana and Jabo Ibehre to put themselves into a 2-1 lead at the break.
The advantage wouldn't last for long, however, with Wells scoring his second of the game as both teams had to settle for a share of the spoils.
Francisco Junior will have to wait for his Vitesse Arnhem debut after this weekend's game away at ADO Den Haag was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The game was called off early on Saturday after heavy rain in the area, coupled with a broken drainage system at the Kyocera Stadium, meant the surface was deemed unplayable.
The midfielder could now make his bow for Arnhem when they face league leaders PEC Zwolle on Saturday.

LouisvilleKY.gov Links
Monday February 12, 2007
Downtown Louisville is buzzing with new stores, new shops, restaurants, art galleries and nightclubs – and now, more than ever, parking is needed to serve those customers.
A new campaign by Louisville Metro Government and the Parking Authority of River City will better inform the public about downtown parking, while giving people a financial incentive to pay their overdue parking tickets.
Staring Monday, Feb. 12 and running through Friday, March 30, people who pay their outstanding tickets will have their late fees waived. A $25 overdue ticket thus becomes $15 – a big savings, especially for people who owe multiple tickets.
In addition, an advertising campaign — "Downtown Louisville: We've Got Space 4U" — will include radio spots, newspaper advertisements and signs attached to parking meters. Nine billboards in and around downtown will carry the "Space 4U" message.
"We have plenty of parking downtown – 32,000 spaces," Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson said. "We definitely have space for you."
The Parking Authority of Louisville (PARC), www.louisvilleky.gov/parc, contains a map showing the location of downtown parking spots, including garages. The website also contains a searchable database for parking tickets. People may enter their license plate number and see if they owe fines, which may be paid online. People may also call the Parking Authority of River City at 502-569-6222 to see if they have outstanding tickets.
PARC also is continuing to sell its popular "Smart Card" – which works like a debit card. The cards, with a minimum deposit of $10, are inserted into parking meters, saving people from having to carry coins. The cards are on sale at various locations, including the PARC offices at 517 S. 4th Street and 224 W. Muhammad Ali Boulevard.
Abramson noted that a small percentage of people are abusing on-street parking by pulling into a space and staying there all day. These scofflaws accumulate parking tickets, then do not pay them.
"We need to ensure that on-street parking is turning over, as it's designed to do," Abramson said. "Readily available parking is important to the economic vitality of downtown."

DIY Inspiration: How to Make a Hammock
Yes, we know that summer's technically over. But we can't resist a lovely hammock, especially one that you can handcraft at home. File this away (or pin it!) as a rainy day project for those dreary days of fall and winter, so by the time spring comes around, you'll be ready to hang it in your back yard or the garden!
This hammock requires no special materials, other than 600 feet of plain rope from the hardware store. You don't want it too thin nor too thick, as you'll be making a simple overhand knot hammock that should be comfy to lie on (in spite of the knots).
And who knows — if you finish this project early, you might be tempted to find a place indoors to hang it.
Check out Kinfolk for the full how-to!

Well, uh, I never thought of making my own Hammock!, great idea, I am going to try this.
Interesting. I've often wondered how it would be to have a hammock as a permanent bed - many in the world do so. Has anyone tried this?
Just a suggestion: don't hang your hammock directly to the hook because that will cause premature wear of the cotton fibres. Instead, tie it with a rope that will then be tied to the hook. A nylon rope won't get damaged with the friction. I learned that from a seasoned traveller to Mexico. I kept a Mexican multicolored handmade cotton string hammock for decades and it stayed good as new.
Good to know, skidou. Thank you!

January 23, 2013, 11:27 AM — You have lots of happy customers, but they don't feel any particular need to review your product or service online. Meanwhile, a few dissatisfied customers waste no time trashing you on Yelp, Citysearch, TripAdvisor, Twitter or any other forum they can think of.
Because those sites have strong authority with the search engines, the negative feedback is likely to show up on the first search results page for your company name. The net effect: Even though you largely have a happy customer base, suddenly you have an online reputation challenge.

It's something many businesses have experienced. Here are three examples of businesses that faced such challenges, as told by the online reputation management experts who helped them bounce back. (The experts we interviewed didn't disclose details about their clients' identities.)
Online Reputation Management Nightmare #1: CEO Gets Ill-Timed Bonus
The situation: The CEO of a publicly traded company received an $11 million bonus around the same time that the company reported disappointing earnings and its stock was being hammered. Not surprisingly, a leading national newspaper reported on the situation. The article showed up prominently in the executive's top 10 search results and remained there for months, says Brad Beiter, vice president of SEO strategy and growth for search marketing firm Performics. Beiter spoke during a fall 2012 Online Marketing Summit session on online reputation management.
Search engines such as Google tend to give leading national newspapers and other prominent media sites high authority and trust. Thus, an unflattering article from a top media site poses a particularly difficult online reputation challenge, since such articles often rank highly for months or even years.
The solution: On the CEO's company website, Performics optimized content that would rank highly for the CEO's name, such as a detailed leadership bio. In addition, Performics optimized profiles for the executive on high-authority sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube and linked them to the CEO's corporate bio. Finally, Performics created and promoted across the Internet new content about the executive's nonprofit work to balance the negative impression from the newspaper article.
The result: Within six months, the newspaper article sank from No. 3 on Google to No. 18.
