However not every child has the opportunity to spend the night out having fun. Many children at Primary Children's Medical Center spend most of their time in hospital beds, unable to share in Student health insurance offers affordable care WSU students can receive full health coverage for $140 each quarter By Lisa M. Jensen Signpost staff writer In a world where health care costs are on the rise, it is more important than ever that everyone have adequate medical coverage, including students. Although health insurance is usually obtained through an employer, Weber State University students can obtain benefits through WSU's Student Accident and Health Insurance Program. According to Grant Protzman, Assistant to the Vice President, the premium rates for WSU's Insurance Program are competitive with comparable insurance policies."It is an excellent investment a win ANDY WATERS THE SIGNPOST after the game on Saturday. the festivities. Members of Chi Rho, a chapter of Sigma Gamma Chi fraternity at Weber State University, helped solve the problem to bring the "spirit" of the season to these children. The fraternity took trick or treats to children at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City on Monday. Every quarter this fraternity tries to do at least two service projects. Taking time to do service is part of Chi Rho's guiding for students. Students can get full health coverage for $140 per quarter," Protzman said. Any student who is registered full-time, or part-time is eligible for benefits. Students can also enroll their spouse and children on the insurance policy, for an additional premium. Kristi Litchford Palkki, a student at WSU, said that she priced insurance companies and found that WSU's policy was by far the most affordable. The plan also offers great flexibility. According to Protzman, if students have been involved in the insurance program and don't attend WSU for a quarter, they can still maintain their healthcoverage. Police records public Campus police By Christine Bush Signpost senior reporter A new policy that will give journalists at The Signpost more access to police information will go into effect this week. The policy is designed to assure that the public and the news media will receive accurate information pertaining to Weber State University police reports. Signpost journalists will now be able to access information much easier than in the past. They will also be given more information then they have ever been given from campus police. "If the media is to fulfill its roleas 'watchdog,' thenitneeds to have access to these public records to allow the public to know what is going on," Editor in Chief Jeff Hurt said. "Getting this information is a step in the right direction," Hurt said. "If other universities a re receiving police reports, I don't think we should have less than they do. "Campus police in the past have been ideals. Those ideals are brotherhood, spirituality, service, patriotism, scholarship and leadership. The fraternity's motto also is "To Serve God and Country." Finding different ways to serve is also apart of their pledging requirements. A Chi Rho pledge has to successfully organize and carry out a service project during one quarter. The pledge is then initiated. Vondel Hathaway, Chi Rho's social chair, said the trip to Pri- All International Students of WSU are required to purchase the Student Accident and Health Insurance program, or prove that comparable insurance coverage is furnished. The Student Accident and Health Insurance Program is contracted through the United Insurance Company of America, and is handled through the Alumni Insurance Agency and Administrators."We have found the company to be extremely responsive to work with. The claims are processed easily, and it is a policy that is good with any physician or hospital," Protzman said. The Insurance Program offers the same services that traditional agree to provide media with reports very concerned about what information they could release to student journalists, because of potential violations from a student's privacy. "This set of guidelines will provide a consistent release to the press and the public and the me- Getting this information is a step in the right direction. -Jeff Hurt dia,"Cassity said. However, "if we have a closed or pend ing case, the information about any certain case can be limited." The regular ongoing information expected to be released to the press and the public will be the daily police case and arrest log. Daily press releases to inform student journalists will be given by Chief of police Lee Cassity, duty Lt. Johnson, or dispatcher Lisa Allen-Hogensen. If a case is pending, the information will be limited to the gen-eralnature of the offenses. If anyone was arrested, the identity, age, cheer to sick children mary Children's was the first of its kind. Chris Tyler organized the visit with 10 members of the fraternity. The group dressed up in costumes and took candy to children who have to be in the hospital during Halloween. Hathaway said they had to be careful what costumes they wore so as not to frighten the children. He said some children in the hospital came from abused homes, so there was no blood or gore allowed. plans do, while giving students the opportunity to choose their own doctors. Referrals are not required to seek medical attention, Protzman said. Students can enroll in the Program during registration at the Student Health Insurance Office, which is currently located in UB 423, but will be moving to the new Student Services Building upon its completion. A short term health coverage plan is also available for students who enroll after registration, or want temporary coverage with a single or monthly payment option, at an additional charge. Marianna Hampton,alsoa stu- See Insurance page 5 address, occupation and stu-dentstatuswillbegiven. Other important information that may be released to student journalists will be facts about, the case, time, place of arrest and the identity of the arresting officers. Cassity said information that will not be releasedarethenam.es and addresses of vic tims or witnesses. Journalists will not be able to see actual police reports, but after the investigation is complete they will be able to see automobile accident reports. If student journalists want more information about a certain case, they will formally have to file a request for information by using the Government Records Access and Management Act, known as the GRAMA Law. This is normally a five-day procedure that consists of Weber State University's attorney Richard Hill screening the information before turning it over to the media. Hathaway said this was an excellent opportunity for the fraternity to serve the community, and it also allowed them the chance to show kids that they care about them. "Lots of frats get the partying reputation. We try to stay away from that," Hathaway said. "We create a well-rounded person by trying to enhance the Weber State University experience through getting involved in the community and involved in academics."

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
I grew this for the first time this year. The plant is quite prolific. At one time I had ten eggplants on one bush. The eggplant has fewer seeds than Black Beauty and it has a great flavor and texture. I highly recommend it.

I have more success growing eggplant in containers than in the ground. This variety get very tall with large foliage and is quite attractive when in flower and setting fruit. I prefer the round variety over the long types because they make for better rollatini or canneloni. Their flavor is mild; smokey when roasted for baba ganouj; harvest smaller ones for stuffing. Their shape and flavor make them versatile and indispensible for the home cook. Heck, for the professional cook as well.

The Phillies didn't win pretty last night, but they did win, topping the Marlins 9-7 for their sixth straight victory. With the win the Phils are at .500 for the year for the first time since they were 28-28 after losing to the Dodgers 4-3 on June 4.
The game wound up having a little more drama than you would hope given that Roy Halladay started to top of the seventh with an 8-3 lead.
Four hits and a walk off of Fish starter Nathan Eovaldi put the Phils up 3-0 in the bottom of the first. Halladay allowed a pair of runs in the top of the third to cut the lead to 3-2, but Pierre led off the bottom of the inning with a double and scored on an Utley single to extend the lead to 4-2. The Phils loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth, but managed just one run in the frame as Brown bounced into a big double-play to end the inning. Stanton homered off of Halladay in the sixth to cut the lead to 5-3. Martinez doubled with one out in the seventh and scored on a single by Halladay. Later in the same inning, Rollins hit a two-run homer one pitch after Miami catcher Rob Brantly dropped the foul ball that should have ended Rollins's at-bat. Halladay started the seventh up 8-3, but allowed hits to two of the first three men he faced and was pulled. The Phils would use three relievers and have to work around an Utley error in the frame, getting out of the inning still up 8-7. A leadoff double by Mayberry led to an insurance run in the bottom of the seventh. Aumont pitched himself out of a huge jam in the eighth and Papelbon set the Fish down in order in the ninth to earn his 33rd save.
The Phillies are 71-71 on the year after beating the Miami Marlins 9-7 last night. They have won six games in a row and are in third place in the NL East, 17 games behind the first-place Nats. 14-4 over their last 18 games has them four games out for the Wild Card.
The team's playoff odds as calculated by Baseball Prospectus's Playoff Odds Report have jumped from 0.6% yesterday to 1.0% today.
Halladay got the start for the Phillies and went 6 1/3 innings, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks. Three of the hits went for extra-bases, two doubles and a home run. He struck out six.
Opponents have hit .320 against Halladay over his last five starts and he's thrown to 4.73 ERA with a 1.52 ratio. His walk rate for the season is up to 1.8 per nine innings, which is the highest it has been since 2007.
He struck out Bryan Petersen and Justin Ruggiano in a 1-2-3 first.
He started the top of the second up 3-0. Giancarlo Stanton led off with a walk, but Halladay got Carlos Lee to hit into a double-play behind him. Greg Dobbs lined to Martinez at third to end the frame.
Donovan Solano and Rob Brantly singled back-to-back to start the third, putting runners on the corners for the pitcher Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi bunted Brantly to second with the first out and Halladay walked Petersen behind him, loading the bases. Ruggiano was next and reached on an infield single. Everyone moved up a base with Solano scoring to cut the lead to 3-1 with the bases still loaded for Jose Reyes. Reyes flew to left for the second out. Brantly tagged from third and scored. 3-2. Halladay struck Stanton out swinging to leave the runners on first and second.
It was 4-2 when Halladay pitched the fourth. Dobbs doubled to right with one out, but Halladay got the next two hitters to leave him at second.
Ruggiano walked with two outs in the fifth and stole second. Reyes flew to center to leave him there.
Three walks in five innings for Halladay.
It was 5-2 when Stanton hit Halladay's first pitch of the sixth out to left. 5-3. Halladay got the next three.
If Stanton was going to homer he picked a nice time to do it. He's 1-for-8 with a home run and six strikeouts so far in the series.
Halladay started the seventh up 8-3. Brantly led off and reached on an infield single. Righty Gorkys Hernandez hit for the pitcher and flew to right for the first out, but Petersen followed with a double to center that scored Brantly and cut the lead to 8-4. Lindblom came in to pitch to the righty Ruggiano and Ruggiano singled to center, scoring Petersen. 8-5. Reyes was next and reached on an error by Utley, putting runners on the corners for Stanton. Lindblom got Stanton swinging for the second out, but Lee followed with a single to left that scored Ruggiano (8-6) and moved Reyes to second. Horst came in to pitch to the lefty Dobbs and Dobbs singled to center. Reyes scored (8-7) and Lee moved up to second. Rosenberg got the righty Solano to ground to Martinez to finally set the Marlins down.
Ugly inning for everyone, but again the Phillies strike Stanton out at a big time.
Lindblom entered the game with one out and a man on second. He faced four batters — single, error on Utley, big strikeout of Stanton and single. He was charged with two runs, both of which were unearned. He hasn't been charged with an earned run over five innings in his last seven appearances. In his last two outings he has allowed two hits and two walks in one inning.
Horst faced one batter and allowed an RBI-single to the lefty Dobbs. In his first ten appearances of the year through the end of July, Horst walked three in ten innings. Since the start of August, he has appeared 13 times, walking eight in 12 2/3 innings. He's allowed three hits and four walks over his last three innings. The Phillies seem to think he could use some rest and I think they're right — he was pitching for the first time since September 2.
Rosenberg entered with two outs and runners on first and second, faced one right-handed hitter and got Solano on a much-needed ground out to finally end the frame. He's allowed one walk in two scoreless innings over his last three appearances.
Aumont stared the eighth with the Phils up 9-7. Brantly led off and walked on four pitches as Aumont couldn't find the tiny strike zone. Two of the four pitches looked really good to me. Donnie Murphy was next and singled to right, putting runners on first and second. Petersen was next and bunted the runners up to second and third with the first out. Aumont wiggled out of it, though, striking Ruggiano out swinging 3-2 for the second out and Reyes swinging 1-2 to leave both men stranded.
Wow. Huge moment in the game and Aumont strikes out two in a row with runners on second and third.
He allowed a hit and a walk in his frame, but struck out two and dropped his ERA on the year to 1.23 after eight appearances. He's allowed four hits and three walks in 7 1/3 innings (0.95 ratio). Manuel has yet to put him into a game before the eighth inning and the Phils are 7-1 so far in the games he's appeared. Six of the eight games he's appeared in were eventually decided by one run or two runs.
Papelbon struck out Stanton and Dobbs in a 1-2-3 ninth.
He's struck out five in four scoreless innings over his last four appearances.
Overall the pen goes three innings, allowing two unearned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five. Aumont threw 18 pitches in the game and Lindblom 13. Everyone else was ten or less. Nobody has pitched more than one day in a row.
The bullpen came into the game having thrown 11 2/3 scoreless innings over the past four games. They didn't pitch as well last night, but Aumont looked fantastic working out of his own jam in the eighth and Papelbon set the Marlins down without a peep in the ninth.
The Phillies lineup against righty Nathan Eovaldi went (1) Rollins (2) Pierre (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Ruiz (6) Brown (7) Mayberry (8) Martinez. Ruiz returns to the starting lineup for the first time since August 2. Pierre in left against the righty and hitting second. Mayberry dropped to seventh against the righty with Ruiz in the lineup. Martinez plays third with Polanco on the DL and Frandsen sidelined with a stress fracture.
Singles by Rollins and Pierre and a walk to Utley loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the first. Howard grounded into a double-play and Rollins scored, leaving the Phils up 1-0 with two down and Pierre on third. Ruiz doubled into the right field corner to score Utley and put the Phillies ahead 2-0, then scored on a single to center by Brown. 3-0. Mayberry struck out to leave Brown at first.
The Phillies went in order in the second.
It was 3-2 when the Phillies hit in the third. Pierre led off with a double to left and scored when Utley followed with a single. 4-2. Howard hit into another double-play and Ruiz grounded out to end the inning.
Two at-bats, two double-plays for Howard.
Brown started the fourth with a single to right, but the Phillies went in order behind him.
Rollins walked to start the fifth, stole second, took third on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Pierre, putting the Phils up 5-2. Lefty Dan Jennings came in to face Utley and Utley singled to right, moving Pierre up to second. Howard flew to center for the second out with the runners moving up to second and third. Jennings walked the righty Ruiz to load the bases and got Brown to ground into a double-play to keep the Phillies from getting more.
It was 5-3 when the Phillies hit in the sixth. Martinez doubled to right off of righty Chris Hatcher with one out. Halladay followed that with a single into center, scoring Martinez to make it 6-3. Rollins was next and popped a 1-1 pitch up near the plate in foul territory, but Brantly just dropped it. Rollins hit the next pitch out to right for a two-run homer. 8-3. Pierre flew to left for the second out before Utley singled. Howard moved Utley to third with a single and Ruiz was hit by a pitch, loading the bases again for Brown. Brown struck out swinging 2-2 to leave them loaded.
Mayberry doubled to right off of righty Chad Gaudin to start the seventh and Martinez bunted him to third with the first out. Nix hit for Rosenberg and lefty Mike Dunn came in to pitch to Nix. Wigginton hit for Nix and drew a walk, putting runners on first and third. Rollins was next and flew to right for the second out. The ball wasn't hit that deep, but Mayberry tagged and tried to score anyway. He probably would have been out with a good throw from Stanton, but Stanton's throw was awful, way up the third base line. Mayberry scored and the run extended the lead to 9-7. Wigginton moved up to second when the throw came home. Frandsen hit for Pierre and was walked intentionally. Utley hit for himself and was walked unintentionally, which loaded the bases for Howard. Howard flew to center to end the inning.
Righty Heath Bell set Ruiz, Brown and Mayberry down in order in the eighth.
Rollins was 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, a stolen base and three RBI. He came into the game 4-for-his-last-22. Rollins had two home runs in his first 242 plate appearances for the year. At the end of the day on June 5 he was hitting 247/296/332 for the season. Since June 6 he's hitting 248/312/472 with 16 home runs in 378 plate appearances. It was really nice of Brantly to drop the popup one pitch before his bomb last night.
Pierre was 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI. He's 6-for-his-last-9.
Utley 3-for-3 with two walks and an error. 7-for-his-last-12 with two walks. He has walked in about 11.3% of his plate appearances, which is better than 8.6% for 2011 and better than his career mark of 9.8%. He topped out in '09 and '10, walking in 12.8% of his plate appearances in 2009 and 12.3% in 2010.
Howard 1-for-5, grounded into two double-plays and left eight men on base. Grounded into a double-play in the bottom of the first with nobody out and the bases loaded. Grounded into another in the third with nobody out and Utley on first. Flew to center with two outs and the bases loaded in the seventh. 171/216/229 over his last 37 plate appearances.
Ruiz 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. 3-for-5 with a walk and a double since returning from the DL.
Brown 2-for-5 with an RBI, two strikeouts and six men left on base. Hit into a double-play with the bases loaded to end the fifth. Struck out swinging 2-2 with the bases loaded to end the sixth. He's 6-for-his-last-15 with a walk.
Mayberry 1-for-5 with a double and a strikeout. 289/400/474 so far in September in 45 plate appearances after hitting 290/343/495 in August.
Martinez 1-for-3 with a double. Bunted Mayberry to third with the first out in the bottom of the seventh, which allowed Mayberry to score on the sac fly by Rollins. He's 6-for-his-last-15 with two doubles.
Lee (4-7, 3.50) faces righty Josh Johnson (8-11, 3.81) this afternoon. Lee hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last five outings and he's thrown to a 2.08 ERA in those starts. The Phillies have won three games he's started in a row. They were 4-12 in his first 16 starts on the year. Johnson has had one bad start in his last nine outings, throwing to a 2.76 ERA in those appearances. He has a 5.22 ERA in his 12 starts away from home and a 2.87 ERA in his 16 starts at home for the year.

Petkovic Gets Through, Azarenka & Li Too
Published May 26, 2011 12:00
PARIS, France - With the exception of multiple Grand Slam champions and former No.1s Kim Clijsters and Maria Sharapova the French Open seemed to go to form on Thursday, with No.4 seed Victoria Azarenka quietly leading the rest of the big names into the third round of the clay court major.
Azarenka, the No.4 seed, put together the most dominant victory of the day, easing past French wildcard Pauline Parmentier in a mere 57 minutes, 60 61. Azarenka hit 13 winners to just eight errors out on Court Suzanne Lenglen and has now won 23 of her last 27 matches, three of those losses via retirement.
Parmentier, 25, had beaten the 21-year-old Azarenka before, all of four years ago in the final of Tashkent in 2007. Parmentier actually has two WTA titles to her name, winning a clay court event in Bad Gastein a year after.
Sixth-seeded Li Na battled past tenacious Spanish qualifier Sílvia Soler-Espinosa earlier in the day, hitting 34 winners to 25 errors for a 64 75 victory.
"I had never seen saw my opponent before. I asked many players for information but it came back zero," Li said. "It was tough, because nobody knew what this player was like, and at the beginning I was surprised because she had the toughest forehand ever, the bounce was so heavy. She was dangerous.
"Also it was windy. But if you want to win the match, you can't think about the wind. Sometimes you have to be friends with the wind - maybe it can help you."
Other Top 16 seeds moving on were No.9 seed Petra Kvitova, No.12 seed Agnieszka Radwanska, No.15 seed Andrea Petkovic and No.16 seed Kaia Kanepi. Petkovic had a particularly tough task in big-hitting Czech Lucie Hradecka but she passed it comfortably in straight sets, 76(2) 62.
"She served incredible in the first set, but later she dropped her first serve percentage and I was able to exploit that in the right moments," Petkovic said. "I played a solid tie-break and the important points I played well. I'm satisfied."
Petkovic had retired her Petko Dance after her run to the semifinals of Miami in April, but it has made a comeback in France. "I said I wanted to stop dancing, and it's not a real dance anymore, but after I stopped I played the most horrible tennis of my life probably. So I figured I had to change something. In Strasbourg I brought the Moonwalk in because I think it fits for clay, and I won the title. And now I'm here in the third round. It's going well; I have to keep it up."
Yanina Wickmayer, Jarmila Gajdosova, Maria Kirilenko, Roberta Vinci, Ekaterina Makarova, Sorana Cirstea, Vania King and Chan Yung-Jan were also among those moving through to the third round in Day 5 action.
Clijsters, the No.2 seed, had a dramatic match against unheralded Dutchwoman Arantxa Rus (read more about that here), while No.7 seed Sharapova pulled off one of the biggest comebacks of the tournament against inspired French teenager Caroline Garcia (read more about that match here).

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that its 2016 men's basketball tournament will be held at Washington D.C.'s Verizon Center.
Is there irony here? Former Maryland coach Gary Williams long pressed for the ACC tourney to return to the Washington area.
Now it decides to come back – the Verizon Center is a 25-minute drive from Maryland's campus – and Maryland will be in the Big Ten. This is the Terps' final season in the ACC.

The tournament was last held in Washington in 2005 – the Terps lost in their first game – and before that in 1976, 1981 and 1987.
The tournament's most common site is Greensboro, N.C.
"It's been the best place to have it," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said of Greensboro several years ago. "It's a place -- a neutral site. It's where our conference offices are," he said.
But Williams never thought of Greensboro as a neutral site -- not with four ACC schools located in North Carolina. He thought of ACC tournament games essentially as road contests. Duke is about 60 miles from Greensboro.

Note: For WMU Hockey score updates, text BRONCOS to 80373
KALAMAZOO (WQLR) – 40 years with the Central Collegiate Hockey Association are in the books as the Western Michigan hockey team prepares to open a new chapter with the National Collegiate Hockey Conference. The Broncos open play with the "Border Battle" against Western Ontario Saturday at Lawson Ice Arena. While many call this an exhibition game, Head Coach Andy Murray has another explanation.
"This is an International game. This is Canada against the United States," Murray said emphatically. "This is the most important game our team has to play on Saturday and we all have to approach it that way."
VIDEO: Watch WMU Hockey Head Coach Andy Murray talk new conference, new talent, Lawson Lunatics and the Broncos tough schedule.
The Broncos will take the ice with a plethora of new talent mixed with battle tested leadership to face a new conference which includes Colorado College, Denver, Miami, Minnesota-Duluth, Nebraska-Omaha, St. Cloud State and North Dakota.
Among the key returners, Senior Forward Chase Balisy will serve as team captain and Junior Forwards Will Kessel and David Killip will serve as assistant captains. The trio was part of the 2012 CCHA Championship team which brought the CCHA title back to Kalamazoo for the first time in 26 years.
"Everyone wants to focus on the players that we lost, but ultimately it's up to your upper classmen to make the difference this season and we've got a solid core that's doing that for our younger players," Murray said.
Western Michigan hosts Western Ontario on Saturday night at 7 pm. Contact the WMU Ticket Office for ticket information at 269-387-0971.

Last week, the Editorial Board of the New York Times called for the federal government to repeal its ban on marijuana. Marijuana legalization would be a strong step towards reducing the impact of the drug war, especially on communities of color. But, as coverage by the New York Times may be missing, legalization is a small – and slowly moving – step towards ending mass incarceration. Reducing arrests in California can do more to impact mass incarceration now.Read more »

7 Stocks Hitting New 52-Week Highs
Wal-Mart Stores
Retail store operator Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) is trading up 0.32% at $59.37 in recent trading after hitting a 52-week high of $59.66 earlier in the day.
Today's Range: $59.16-$59.6652-Week Range: $48.31-$59.40 Volume: 4 million Three-Month Average Volume: 11.6 million Wal-Mart has a market cap of $203.07 billion and an enterprise value of $254.96 billion. The stock trades at a trailing price-to-earnings of 12.55 and a forward price-to-earnings of 12.08. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 10.3%, and for next year it's pegged at 9.4%. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Wal-Mart is very low at 1.7%. From a technical standpoint, WMT has started to trigger a big breakout trade today now that this stock has cleared some near-term overhead resistance at $59.03. Volume on this breakout so far is very light, so traders need to watch how the stock finishes with price and volume. Look for a sustained move and close above $59.03 on volume that's near or above 11.6 million to signal that WMT wants to trend higher in the near future. If we get that action, then look for WMT to challenge its next significant resistance levels that sit just under $65. Wal-Mart, one of Warren Buffett's holdings, also shows up on a list of 10 Stocks Held by the Most Successful Fund Managers.

A shocking school bus beating in Florida was caught on tape showing a 13-year-old boy brutally beaten by three fellow students.
All of the teens involved in the attack have been charged, but new questions are surfacing about the only adult present.
Why didn't the school bus driver do more to stop it?
School bus driver john moody looked on in horror, pleading with the dispatcher to send someone to stop the vicious attack.
"I got a fight, I need help in a hurry. I need help in a hurry got a fight," Moody told the dispatcher.
Police say three 15-year-olds attacked the 13-year-old after he told school officials that one had tried to sell him drugs.
In the graphic video about, you can hear the 13-year-old's cries for help as he's mercilessly punched and stomped. Police say the attackers broke the victim's arm and stole his money.
The three boys were arrested on aggravated battery charges. According to Pinellas County school policy, the driver is not required to intervene, only to call dispatch.
Moody says he was too afraid to step in. "The three boys just jumped on him and started pounding on him and I did all can. I was looking. It was like I was in shock. I was petrified," said Moody.
Pinellas County leaves it up to the driver, but many counties actually forbid drivers from physically stopping fights.
Gulfport police say Moody won't face charges, but that the 64-year-old, who retired just two weeks after the beating could have done more. "There was clearly an opportunity for him to intervene and/or check on the welfare of the children or the child in this case, and he didn't make any effort to do so," said Gulfport Police Chief Robert Vincent.
While his attorney says that was not an option, Moody says he's haunted by the attack, wondering if he could have done more.
When asked why moody faces no charges the state's attorney said, "It wasn't like he was looking out the window while cleaning his fingernails" and also downplayed the victim's injuries after the attack. "The kid got up and skedaddled out the door."
John Moody says this was his only problem in 18 years of driving, and he doesn't want to be judged, or remembered, for it.

Comment: While driving a car (Score 1) 310
On a long drive from LA to Portland I was the driver and I was bored, so I wrote a simple moon lander game (modeled from one I'd seen written in BASIC) for my new HP-25 programmable calculator by dictating instructions to the guy riding in the shotgun seat. The display showed your altitude on one side of the decimal place, velocity on the other side (and with the +/- sign) and remaining fuel in the exponent. After each iteration you entered how much fuel to burn on the next step and pushed R/S (Run/Stop) to continue. If you got down to zero altitude (or below) with a velocity less than some maximum value then you had made a successful landing. Otherwise you crashed.

Anyone looking to move into Woodlands Park in Deerfield might be intrigued by the potential to design their own home at 1345 Linden Avenue.
Realtor Michael Vecchione is working with a builder to put a second floor on the ranch and design a home for someone who has grown comfortable living in a "modern" urban setting and wants to duplicate that style abode in Deerfield.
"The developers of 1345 Linden recognized this void in the market and decided to think outside the turret in bringing this exciting modern home to life," Vecchione said. "This project offers buyers the opportunity to customize all finishes without the time consuming task of designing a home from scratch."

(Just for the record, New Hampshire Magazine is a proud member, too.)Spot four newts hidden on ads in this issue, tell us where you found them and you might win an assortment of great gifts. To enter our drawing for a free gift basket, send your answers toSpot the Newt c/o New Hampshire Magazine 150 Dow St., Manchester, NH 03101E-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com, or fax them to (603) 624-1310.Last month's "Spot the Newt" winner is Steve Swasey of North Hartland, Vt. February issue newts were on pages 31, 35, 65 and 87.Letters to the EditorNo Shopaholics Just an FYI regarding an article in the February edition of your magazine. This is regarding the article by Stacy Milbouer and Tom Long: "Bargains Galore!" The authors mention a store called Shopaholics Boutique with locations in Dover and Portsmouth.After reading the article my 13-year-old daughter and I thought it might be a nice Saturday afternoon excursion (from Amherst, N.H.) to do a little exploring and shopping in Portsmouth. To our dismay the SB store in Portsmouth is no longer in existence. My daughter had checked the store's website prior to our departure just to double check the hours and address. There was no mention of the Portsmouth store being closed.Fortunately, we discovered another consignment store not too far away, had a nice lunch and enjoyed some mother/daughter bonding time. So, no worries but just thought you'd like to know for purposes of correction.Veronica D. Foley AmherstSurvey Bias? I have significant concern about your methodology [for the 2011 Top Doctors' survey]. There are many great doctors who practice in rural areas of the state and are unknown except to their patients.In addition, the results will be significantly biased towards doctors who are members of a large group practice. In some specialty areas where I knew several excellent doctors, I was only able to list one.Stuart A. Copans, M.D.Editor's Note: We are working toward a more robust survey that will allow us to gain a consensus in the state's more rural areas. This year's shift to an online-only poll is the first step in that direction. The fact is that we need more votes from less-populous regions to be able to discern the most esteemed specialists, so we're trying to broaden the base of the poll. So far so good. We've already exceeded previous year's totals in number of forms submitted and we still have more than a week before the poll comes down.Beyond Offensive I knew flatlanders had a poor opinion of anyone not from Massachusetts but Jimmy Dunn went over and above the normal misplaced disdain most idiot flatlanders express towards the residents of the Mount Washington Valley in your January issue. [The story said] "smelling like a North Conway goat"? There is nothing funny or artistic to justify its inclusion in your publication. I don't think so. That was BEYOND offensive and you and your publication are on notice. As North Conway was the ONLY N.H. town mentioned in the article Dunn owes the residents of North Conway a PUBLIC PUBLISHED apology as does your magazine.The residents of Manchester, where you are from, may not visit our area but your city certainly benefits from the millions in rooms and meals tax that we collect for the state and so allowing a comedian from Massachusetts to insult a N.H. town in a N.H. magazine is in VERY poor taste. If there is not a public published apology in both your magazine and our local paper by the end of February I will be writing every advertiser in the January issue expressing my displeasure and urging them to not purchase advertising space in your publication again until the apology is tendered.I will also be asking that every resident of North Conway and the surrounding community to do the same. You may not need North Conway but you certainly need those advertising dollars and the advertisers do need North Conway and the local area.D. James North ConwayEditor's Note: Jimmy Dunn is a good old New Hampshire boy (assuming Hampton hasn't been conquered by Massachusetts) who is not above taking some good humored shots at his home state, but in this case I'm pretty sure the only thing he was calling smelly in North Conway was its population of goats. Nonetheless, apologies to anyone of any species who was offended by his remarks.The Missing Chowder We so enjoy reading NH Magazine every month and can't wait for its arrival. It is one of the publications we receive that we truly read cover to cover.This past Saturday Maria, my wife, and I decided to have a "date day" and consulted the restaurant guide in the back of February's issue. On page 70 we saw a profile on The Common Man in Merrimack and the lobster corn chowder got us salivating.Well, when we arrived and placed our order the waitress, Lucy, had the proverbial deer-in-the-headlights look when we ordered the lobster corn chowder. She summoned the manager, Brian, who explained they don't have it and it must have been a misprint. No problem, misprints happen.But much to our surprise and palate's pleasure, Brian provided two complimentary cups of their seafood chowder! It was outstanding! Thick, creamy and loaded with flavors. Certainly one of the best chowders we have experienced.We were so impressed with their courtesy and customer service (not to mention the chowder!) we were inspired to write this letter.Thank you again for a fine magazine and profiling such outstanding restaurants.Jim & Maria ChesterDefunct Diner I always enjoy receiving my monthly copy of your magazine. My wife and I frequently consult your restaurant listings, and have been dismayed to see that they're not kept up to date. Granite Grill Diner in Fitzwilliam went out of business last fall, yet the last several issues of NH Magazine continue to list it in the Monadnock section.Tom Gould Rindge Editor's Note: Sorry to let you down. The correction has been made.Online CommentsRe: "Remembering Christa," January 2011Grace wrote: I am so very pleased to have the positives that came out of Christa McAuliffe's tragic death pointed out to me.

The best 2P4S tent in this price range
March 31, 2013
Typical MSR high quality craftsmanship. Body is bomber: solid, keeps you warm, ventilation is excellent, nice color, easy set up and relatively speaking light weight. However, getting in or out may be difficult especially with plastic mountaineering boots as the door is small and low. Also, can't store much of your winter gear in the vestibule. Cheers to MSR for their high quality gear which I own and use. The Fury is likely the best 2P4S tent in this price range.Pros: Build quality, Cons: low door, small vestibule
Available sizes, while supplies last, include size and size one size: one size, .

SAN FRANCISCO — March 28, 2012 — Michael Allison, IT administrator for the Hillcrest Family Health Clinics network in Central Texas, could see the future coming. The clinic network's IT systems were already processing half a million transactions per day for 200,000 patients across several facilities and towns. Federal privacy regulations, the ongoing push for providers to create uniform electronic health records and the increasing volume of patient data meant demands on the system would only intensify.
"In a clinical setting with hundreds of PCs and devices, hundreds of thousands of patient records, and dozens of providers, efficiently managing this much data is critical," Allison says.
Allison was convinced the clinic's technology should not just upgrade but evolve to become a true intelligent system, connecting locations and devices in the cloud to improve the ease and efficiency of care. After evaluating several solutions, he chose to build an intelligent system with Microsoft. Centralized data stores were consolidated on two machines running Windows Server Hyper-V, and clinics were outfitted with Windows Embedded Standard-based thin clients.
The new system has paid off for Hillcrest, eliminating mandatory downtime for system upgrades and significantly reducing unplanned downtime, reducing data traffic from 8 percent of the clinic network's bandwidth to 1 percent, and enabling broadband cost savings of 35 percent per year. Hundreds of peripheral devices used across a wide geographic area can now be managed remotely via the cloud. The system manages data across the clinic system — patient records, prescriptions, scheduling, billing, inventory and more. Allison can now access, manage and update devices from any location, without having to travel to distant sites.
"I can sit at my desk and run our whole system from my office without having to physically go to any one of our nine locations and do anything to the computers there," Allison says. "Everything worked as soon as we put it in; it all just worked seamlessly."
The system offers physicians and caregivers remote connectivity and quick access to current data within a security-enhanced framework. Hillcrest was able to recoup its investment within three years, and, best of all, it has been able to care for more than 1,500 additional patients per year.
"We've been able to refocus available funds onto new services for our patients," Allison says. "Our intelligent system strategy is an important part of our mission to provide the right care to the right patient, securely, consistently and efficiently."

After years of dreaming of being a competitive bodybuilder, Guy finally stepped onstage in 2003, still unsure of his full potential. After a few years of competing on the local NPC level, he decided in 2005 to take his career to the next level. After taking a year and a half off from 2005-2007, Guy returned to the stage to win another local show, then went on to win a Jr. National show a few weeks later. This success led to his first attempt to secure a pro card at the 2007 Nationals, where Guy came in a close second to Jose Raymond. After taking another year off to work on his physique, Guy focused his sights on the 2008 Nationals and came in better than ever, winning the stacked middleweight class and earning his place as a new IFBB pro.
Guy then took some more time off to gather himself and pack on some size for the newly introduced 202 class. Making his pro debut in 2010, Guy's rookie year fell short of his own expectations as he finished sixth at the Europa Battle of Champions and then fifth at the Europa SuperShow. Hardly a bad start to his pro career, but Guy was nonetheless unsatisfied. After deciding to team up with old friend and fellow IFBB pro Fakhri Mubarak, Guy put in a tremendously productive offseason and then took second place at the 2011 IFBB Jacksonville Pro, weighing in at 202 lbs on the button after having competed at 186 lbs in 2010. A week later he was right back onstage and took first place at the 2011 Europa SuperShow for his first career pro win. Guy followed that up with what he calls "a dream come true," taking the stage with the best of the best at the 2011 Olympia 202 Showdown!
As one of the youngest competitors in the sport today, Guy has yet to achieve his full potential and continues to strive to get better and better. And with the 202 class increasing to 212 in 2012, he now has an additional 10 lbs to work with as he continues to grow into his physique. With the help of BSN and their outstanding products, Guy is excited to see what the future holds for him as he continues to pull double duty representing BSN to the world.

Out of control dog
My husky/cocker spaniel dog (he turned a year old the day after Father's Day) is driving me crazy.
I guess you need some background information. We got him when he was 5 months old. The owner's before us us to abuse him. There was a man, wife and their 3 kids. When we received him, we took him to the vets (who's male) and right away he started growling and barking at our vet. The vet told us that he was abused by a guy. He was fine with the women there. And we think that he was abused my kids too.
When we first received the dog, my son, who's 7 years old (Alex), would try to pet him while he was eating. Big mistake because Ajay (the dog) would growl. So I was suggested that if my son started taking care of Ajay's food and water dish that the dog would stop growling. Alex has been doing this for almost 9 months and Ajay still growls at him.
And there has been a time where Ajay bit my son. I just don't know what to do. I've told Alex to not be afraid of Ajay but he is and I think that the dog can sense it. Ajay feels like he's dominate over my son. I don't want him to think that.
We have a 3 month old baby boy (Sam). Ajay is perfect with the infant.
As a matter of fact, last week, Alex was laying next to Sam and Ajay was laying on the other side of Sam, when Alex touched Sam, Ajay growled and barked at Alex.
What do I do?
Ajay's food and water bowl is in the kitchen near our cupboard. Alex goes there every morning because that's where our food is and Alex has to get his snack for school and food for breakfast.
Our house is pretty small so moving the food/water dishes some place else, i can't see that as being an option.
I'm thinking whenever Alex gets near his food bowl and Ajay starts growling, I'll just take Ajay by his collar and put him outside so that Ajay knows that he has to wait for Alex to get done eating before he can finish his breakfast.
Or maybe Alex should take him outside so that Ajay knows that Alex is in control and not Ajay.
I don't know what else to do.
Can someone please help me because I have to get rid of him?
Is the dog crate trained?
I would first say, never allow any one, a child especially to interact with a dog that is eating. Sometimes dogs are food aggressive for no reason at all except that they are dogs. Other times they can be posessive with their food because they had to be that way to survive. There's no way of knowing why your dog is doing this, btu when there is food in the bowl you should leave him alone. If he is crate trained allow him to eat in his crate. You can begin to work on training this aggression out, but it can be a slow process and may not be successful. One step in the right direction is hand feeding the dog. Do not put the food in the dog bowl, as this could be a trigger to protect (the bowl is his and he knows it). I would suggest you or another adult start and then when you feel comfortable that the dog is responding appropriately gradually let your son be involved in the feeding. Slowly work your way up to your son doing the hand feeding, don't expect too much too soon, as you have already seen a negative reaction towards your child, and his safety should come first. The next thing I recommend is googling NILIF (Nothing In Life Is Free) and begin a strict training regime. Work in daily sessions (15 or 20 dedicated minutes) and make sure your son is involved in those sessions giving commands, etc. Don't let the dog do anything without working for it first, no affection, no playing, nothing until he has done something for you first (like sit, or lay down). Also, stop allowing the dog on the furniture. Being on the furniture with you is a privilege and he must earn his place there. Later after his behavior is more reliable you could allow him up by invitation, but for now he should have his bed/crate the floor and the yard. Remember, the dog lives with you, you don't live with the dog. Lastly, I strongly recommend only using positive reinforcement for training. A verbal correction with a negative sound or a firm no is all you need, then guide the dog to the desired behavior and reward him for it. Don't spank, hit, yell, etc... Good luck!
I forgot to add, you guys should eat before the dog. So let your son get his snack and food before the dog is fed. If you are free feeding stop that now and feed on a schedule. Put the food down at whatever times each day and give him 15 minutes to eat, if he finishes or stops eating pick up the food bowl and feed again on the next feeding schedule. If he is free feeding it may take a day or two but eventually he'll learn to eat when he can. He will also learn that you are controlling the resources, not him :)
Abuse and fear do not always run hand in hand. My dog was horredously abused but he is stable enough not to let it have any adverse affects on him.Stop letting your son touch the dog while he is eating. You should be the one controlling the food. Second, the dog has bit your child. In my house that would be a one way ticket out of this planet. The dog is not trying to "dominate" the child. He is terrified of the child and the child won't leave him alone. He needs to be rehomed to a family WITHOUT children. He will never stop being afraid of children and forcing a child on him is not doing him any favors. He needs to be in an adult only home.

New energy tax threatens to undermine growth agenda
Imagine if the government were to allow teachers and nurses more time off but failed to consider the impact on the students and patients that depend on the services they provide. It wouldn't happen. Never in a million years. Yet it is with astonishment that the government appears to have designed a new tax on energy without considering how it will impact those who use energy, just those who generate it.
The carbon-floor price sounds fine in principle. We support the idea of a carbon tax and believe it would provide a clear, more consistent and stable incentive to energy users to reduce high-carbon energy and fuel use; to use high-carbon fuels more efficiently; and, to provide electricity generators with a stronger incentive to invest in lower-carbon forms of energy. If designed properly it could be a cost-effective mechanism to meet climate change objectives and ensure security of supply into the 2020s.
However, this support is conditional on countervailing measures to ensure that the overall cost burden on manufacturers does not increase. Indeed it is entirely logical that a carbon tax should lead to a consolidation of the many climate-related costs that fall upon manufacturers. And there is quite a few. As it stands 20 per cent of energy costs are as a result of climate change policy in the UK. By 2020 it is estimated that this will rise to 70 per cent. The carbon floor price will result in a cost increase on manufacturers, equivalent to a tripling of the climate change levy rates.
Make no bones about it. These unilateral UK-only costs will factor into the investment decisions made by global companies: Whether to put future investment in the UK, or in a region of the world where these costs do not exist.
The Treasury's accompanying impact assessment in fact is refreshingly honest in its assessment that the floor price will have "a significant impact on a small, but important number of energy sectors in the UK". It helpfully lists these sectors. But it does not attempt to quantify the impact. Nor does it consider those who are operating on tight profit margins.
But this is only part of the picture. Indeed, we note with concern that this is in addition to the proposals outlined in DECC Electricity Market Reform Consultation which contain measures that aim to achieve a similar outcome that the CPF consultation aims to achieve this time through 'Contracts for Difference (CfD). In addition to this, we are being asked to contribute to parallel consultation on the CRC energy efficiency scheme and climate change agreements. And this year the rate of climate change levy relief for manufacturers able to enter into a climate change agreement has been reduced from 80per cent down to 65per cent relief - a tax increase on manufacturers of £50 million per annum.
It is all such a mess. It has become impossible comment on individual measures as we are seriously lacking the government's wider view. At the moment, from where we are sitting, it seems chaotic. Government needs to draw breath and clearly articulate its vision on climate change policy. Seen in parallel with the growth review, the government is sending some very mixed messages.

Today both DECC & HM Treasury published energy market reform, CCL and Carbon Price proposals in two separate consultation documents. As you can see below, our media release sees these proposals as a mixed bag. Whilst the energy market reforms should now provide new nuclear and low carbon investors with a stronger and predictable carbon price, the "Carbon Price Floor" Consultation from Treasury seems to add yet another layer of costs onto UK manufactures. We therefore may see a ready UK market that overseas competitors can take full advantage from:
Energy reforms are mixed bag - EEF
Electricity market reforms to provide certainty and signal to investors but carbon price mechanism to increase costs and threaten industrial competitiveness
EEF, the manufacturers' organisation has given a mixed response to today's package of energy reforms.
Whilst it believes the electricity market reforms will provide a more predictable and cost effective approach to supporting low carbon energy, proposals for the carbon price support mechanism will increase the costs to manufacturers and threaten the ability of companies to invest for growth.
Commenting, EEF Director of Policy, Steve Radley, said:
"Today's reforms are likely to prove counter-productive. On the one hand government has provided a more predictable and cost effective approach to energy policy which should benefit both investors and consumers.
"It has also fired the starting gun for a policy that will prove the right market signal for investment in low carbon power generation to provide long term energy security.
"However, these reforms come at a significant price for UK manufacturers, including those who want to invest in low carbon technologies. The government's own impact assessment shows the carbon price reforms will damage competitiveness for over a decade but it offers no solutions that will mitigate this.
"Manufacturers will have to bear the costs and complexities of three different types of carbon and energy taxation (1). Government must now address how it plans to address the loss in competitiveness by working with industry to reform other aspects of climate policy such as the Carbon Reduction Commitment and Climate Change Levy."
Notes to Editors
1.The three types of carbon and energy taxation are:
· Climate Change Levy
· Carbon Reduction Commitment
· Carbon Support Price Mechanism (as proposed)
2. EEF, the manufacturers' organisation is the representative body for UK manufacturing. The EEF has a growing membership of almost 6,000 companies of all sizes, employing some 900,000 people from every sector of engineering, manufacturing, engineering construction and technology-based industries.

Ahead of a HM Treasury consultation on carbon price support, that is anticipated in the coming weeks, EEF has set out its position.
The expected consultation will set out how government intends to reform the Climate Change Levy and possibly introduce a carbon price support mechanism that sits on top of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme cost of carbon, in order to provide a long term price signal to low carbon investors. This mechanism will affect all purchasers of electricity, through the pass through of costs by the generators subject to the mechanism.
Media release – 19 November 2010:
Ahead of a series of major announcements expected on carbon pricing and energy market reform, manufacturers have challenged the government to act in the best interests of both consumers and investors by consolidating the growing tangle of schemes that put a price on carbon emissions.
Manufacturers were dismayed last month when the government turned the CRC Efficiency Scheme into a £1 billion tax without any warning or consultation of affected parties. In an instant the policy moved from a being a revenue neutral scheme that rewarded investments in energy efficiency to become yet another tax on energy.
Rationalising the confusing tangle of policies that set different carbon prices for different parts of the economy is essential. Not only will it give would-be investors in the low-carbon economy greater clarity; it will also go some way to helping restore the trust of the thousands of companies on the sharp end of the CRC decision.
There is ample scope to consolidate overlapping schemes like the CRC, the Climate Change Levy and the planned Carbon Price Support Mechanism into a more coherent and effective climate policy.
Commenting, EEF's Head of Climate and Environment, Gareth Stace, said:
"We are fast reaching a tipping point. The government has a choice to make between creating further confusion or opting for consolidation that will unleash the potential of the low-carbon economy as well as easing the burden on business.
"If we keep adding to the hotchpotch of existing schemes, we will only muddy the waters for investors and make life unnecessarily difficult for the companies shouldering the burden of climate policy.
"The smart option is to take a more strategic approach based creating a transparent, consistent and predictable carbon price. Consolidation is a win-win approach to climate policy – it will encourage more investment in low-carbon technologies and reduce the cost for compliance for hard-pressed businesses."

Back in the summer, Lord Marland, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at DECC, wrote to stakeholders asking for suggestions as to how the burdens imposed by policies and regulations associated with energy and climate change could be amended, reduced or removed. EEF warmly welcomed this refreshing engagement from the new coalition government, seeing it as the new age in how government intended to work with us going forward.
Fortunately, EEF had recently published our vision for UK climate change policy and therefore we were able to set out our views in full. This week, Lord Marland has published his response to this consultation (see responses below).
So was it worth the wait? On the whole, I don't think so, however the response should not be seen in isolation. I believe that many of the views that stakeholders sent into DECC, will have been viewed with interest by more than just the Marland consultation team and therefore will be feeding into the general government policy process.
The government response didn't contain much beyond summarising the views DECC received from the 90 organisations that bothered to share policy views. I would have liked to see something bolder, but could DECC have achieved this through this mechanism, as much of what is wrong about UK climate change policy is shortly to be consulted upon through various separate consultations from both DECC and HM Treasury.
Of course I am being too hard on this government response. Looking at it from another angle, this sort of response could be just what we need. The paper looks at all DECC policy in the round, rather than in silo.
Is this a missed opportunity, where DECC could have used this project to look at the policy burden across the department. Then recommended sweeping strategic changes in order to achieve the goal of reducing UK greenhouse gas emissions at least cost to the economy in a certain, simplistic and transparent way.
I would be interested to hear your views on this government response, am I being to flippant on a Friday afternoon here?

One year later, remembering Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
September 7, 2012 3 Comments
One year ago today, an airplane carrying the players, coaches, and training staff of KHL team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl crashed immediately after a failed takeoff. Of the 45 people on board, including the pilots and flight staff, 43 were dead on site. One surviving player, Alexander Galimov, died in hospital shortly afterward, leaving crew member Alexander Sizov as the lone survivor from the crash.
There are rare moments when human tragedy or triumph seemingly trumps, temporarily at least, the many problematic aspects of sport. The KHL is a highly political league given its ties to the Vladimir Putin (he has referred to the KHL as "an instrument of Russian foreign policy") regime and the heavily influence of the Russian oligarchs who made their fortunes preying on the ruins of state run Soviet industry (for example, oil companies Gazprom and Rosneft own KHL teams SKA St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow, respectively). The league is certainly fraught with problems, as, of course, is its North American counterpart the NHL. However, the Lokomotiv tragedy temporarily pushed those concerns aside and united hockey fans across the globe, many of whom had never previously heard of the team, in awe and sorrow.
Many fans in North America found personal connection to the tragedy through the players who had played for their favourite NHL teams before plying their trade in Russia. Names like Brad McCrimmon, Igor Korolev, Pavol Demitra, Ruslan Salei, and Alexander Karpotsev were immediately familiar to countless NHL fans and gave a known human face to the shocking tragedy. Coming at the end of a summer in which NHLers Rick Rypien, Wade Belak and Derek Boogaard all passed away through suicide or accidental overdose, the Lokomotiv crash carried particular gravitas as the bookend to a summer that shook many fans and members of the hockey community.
