Eleven of 32 newly diagnosed untreated patients with hyperthyroidism met
DSM-III criteria for organic affective syndrome. Thirty of these patients
submitted 24-hour urine specimens for measurement of urinary free cortisol
levels, and 31 were given a 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST)
before antihyperthyroidism therapy was started. There was no difference in
the mean +/- SD urinary free cortisol excretion levels between depressed
and nondepressed hyperthyroid patients. One nondepressed patient
demonstrated nonsuppression (greater than 5 micrograms/dl) at 8:00 a.m.
These results suggest that cortisol abnormalities as reflected by urinary
free cortisol levels and DST findings are uncommon in patients with
hyperthyroidism whether they are depressed or nondepressed.

Radon is an invisible, odorless, radioactive gas that is found naturally in rocks and soil. It enters homes through cracks and other openings in foundations. Any home can have elevated levels of radon. The only way to know if your home has an elevated radon level is to test.
The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department's Division of Environmental Health has free radon testing kits available 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday at 804 Newtown Circle. For information, call (859) 231-9791.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky has long promoted radon testing. When homeowners find high levels of radon, they are urged to fix the problem. Typically, radon mitigation systems are installed to reduce the radioactive gas. The systems are designed for continuous suction and exhaust of the gas so it doesn't collect in basements, crawl spaces and other places within a home.
It is estimated that a million homes in Kentucky have elevated radon levels. Many homeowners are not fully educated on the link between radon and lung cancer, thereby resulting in a small number of residential mitigations. Only about 2,500 mitigations are done each year in Kentucky. Also, more newly built homes could be constructed radon-resistant, if the owner requests the builder to put in radon prevention technologies (radon-resistant new construction or RRNC) in the design.
For additional information, find the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/LFCHD.

Murder charge against Former Thai PM Abhisit Vejjajiva
Thailand's Department of Special Investigation will on Thursday notify the country's former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban, of the criminal charges they face in connection with the 2010 political violence.
On Monday, in an interview with the BBC, Mr Abhisit defended his order for live ammunition to be used against anti-government demonstrators two years ago.
He stressed that armed protesters had fired grenades and caused acts of terror.
The protests left more than 90 people dead, both civilians and soldiers.
938LIVE's Shima Roy asked Dr Pavin Chachavalpongpun of Kyoto University's Centre for Southeast Asian Studies what he thought of the charge.

MRO MARCI Weather Report for the week of 3 November 2008 9 November 2008
The MARCI acquires a global view of the red planet and its weather patterns every day. Please click on the image above and play the Quicktime movie to see how the weather on Mars changed during this time.
As in previous weeks, notable dust activity continued on Mars this past week. Early in the week, several smaller dust storms were observed near the edge of the residual North Polar Cap. By mid-week, a series of large dust storms coalesced to cloak the southern mid-latitudes. Dust storm activity was also observed closer to the equator over Solis and east of Hesperia. The latter storm has already affected operations at the MER-A (Spirit) landing site in Gusev Crater. Despite relatively clear skies over the Phoenix landing site this past week, the dwindling incoming solar radiation at the landing site proved insufficient for continued operations. After several months of exciting discoveries, the Phoenix mission has officially ended. On a more positive note, the skies over MER-B (Opportunity) in Meridiani remained relatively clear throughout the week.
Earlier Mars Weather Reports are available at the MSSS site.

Hi everyone,
what I would like to do is to make font chooser in my Admin theme options panel. Something that user could just switch between different fonts for example. I already have something similar for styles, but it switches whole stylesheets and I cant implement that for Fonts to.
So if anyone knows any way to do this, I would be very grateful if he could explain me.

Buffett quietly reshaping Berkshire
Passing on Transatlantic and buying into IBM signals a change in investment strategy.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) rarely loses a deal fight, which makes Monday's news that the legendary investor was outbid for reinsurer Transatlantic Holdings (TRH) seem like a strange sight.
However, the fact that Berkshire lost out in a hotly contested bid to a competitor a nearly a tenth of its size in Alleghany Corporation (Y) should not be so surprising, given the Omaha, Neb., holding company's move away from its traditional reinsurance and insurance base and its shift to a more diversified portfolio of industrial companies.
With Berkshire's $9 billion acquisition of chemicals company Lubrizol earlier this year, adding to its $26.5 billion purchase of railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe in 2009 and $4.5 billion acquisition of industrials conglomerate Marmon in 2007, the company has altered a quarter of its overall revenue and profit.
"This isn't an insurance company anymore, it's a defensive conglomerate," Tom Lewandowski, an analyst at Edward Jones, said about Berkshire's transformation through recent deals.

- JPMorgan may be safer play than Wells Fargo
While the billions spent on takeovers in recent years may look like a tack in strategy from minority investments and an insurance focus, Lewandowski says, "Berkshire has got where they are today because they haven't really changed a lot." Berkshire, as an investment management company, simply is sticking to its style of buying companies that need a giant funding source and have an attractive risk return, even if the nature of its investments are changing, Lewandowski says.
Overall, the company, which may soon generate $20 billion in annual cash from its operations, needs to put that money to work for its shareholders who've grown accustomed to seeing shares rise faster than the S&P 500 ($INX). Signaling the need to make new types of industrials takeovers and bank investments, the company's total insurance group's revenue and profitability is still below pre-crisis levels.
With quarterly cash stockpiles over $34 billion, Berkshires been able to spend billions in new types of investments as the global economic slump has turned many of America's blue chips into attractively priced, even distressed investments.
In 2008, Buffett played hero to the U.S. financial system by taking a $5 billion stake in Goldman Sachs (GS) and a $3 billion stake in General Electric (GE), allowing both companies to raise capital in the most tense moments of the financial crisis. This August, as uncertainty besieged Bank of America (BAC), the second largest bank in the U.S., Buffett made a similar investment. Recently, Berkshire's even entered into a new sector altogether with a $10.7 billion investment in IBM (IBM).
Even with new types of investments with an industrial and distressed focus, Berkshire's shares are lagging the S&P 500 in 2011, after outperforming the index for most of the company's history.
The question is whether plowing cash into industrial takeovers and an array of minority investments have been a boost to Berkshire share returns.
"I would say it's not been tremendously successful," says Meyer Shields an analyst with Stifel Financial about Berkshire's recent diversification. In doing its biggest ever deal by taking over Burlington Northern, Berkshire paid a 30% premium -- and it made a similarly pricey acquisition in Lubrizol at a $135 a share value. Recently, Berkshire's stake in IBM comes at a time when the IT giant's stock hovers near all-time highs above $175 a share.
Meanwhile, Berkshire's bank investments, while a boost to the global financial system, aren't guaranteed to provide a similar lift to its shareholders.
Currently, Berkshire's warrants in GE and Goldman Sachs are underwater and it has sold back preferred share stakes in the companies below market prices paid. Berkshire did see overall gains on the stakes because of stipulations in the stakes like fat dividends and premiums. With its Bank of America stake, Berkshire's returns are less certain. Currently its share purchase at $7.14 a share is well above current trading prices at below $5.16.
The new investment style, whether it's banks, tech or industrial company takeovers is not just about Berkshire putting its prolific cash to work in deals that only it can make. It's also about the small returns in its insurance business. "If there were profit opportunities similar to the likes of Lubrizol and Burlington Northern in insurance, then I'm sure he'd be happy to buy an insurance company," says Shields of Stifel. He adds, "The underlying profitability of the insurance business now is much weaker than it was years ago."
To boost shares, it's unclear whether Buffett's next move will be in continued bank shares, company takeovers or simple stock buybacks. In a recent Bloobmerg interview in Japan, where he was surveying the country's post-earthquake investing landscape, Buffett said, "On the Lubrizol transaction I think we spent about $8.7 billion. We'd love another one like that -- we can handle that. We can manage somewhat larger. We can handle a $10 billion deal very comfortably."
The setting in an earthquake ravaged country, along with a revival in investments amid the financial crisis begs the question of whether Berkshire may look at using its cash in uncharacteristic ways such as distressed investments. When pressed about what the Transatlantic deal said about Berkshire's investment style, Lewandowski of Edward Jones said that Berkshire's obstinacy in engaging in a bidding war or holding the insurance unit as a standalone entity illustrates how it's investing style hasn't changed over the years. About the types of investments Berkshire is willing to make, Lewandowski says, "I think that Buffett is generally indifferent." It's the style that doesn't change.
As that indifference has pushed Berkshire Hathaway into investing in distressed banks, industrial companies and, more recently, technology, it won't be a surprise if the legendary investor switches gears once again if debt-crisis stricken companies provide attractive new ways to spend cash.
If it wasn't for the bank bail outs that Buffet went to DC to lobby for himself there would not be a Berkshire Hathaway today. The derivative insurance payouts would have wiped out the company's assets and insurance investments..
As for paying 30% more for a railroad... Don't forget, he bought the WHOLE company. The unit trains for hauling coal 24 / 7 alone are cash cows. It was a great buy.
Buffett gets inside information that we as little people will never get. Also being big you get sweeter deals that us little people will never get a piece of.
Warren Buffett has proven over and over that his investment brilliance mark him as the Best & the Brightest investor ever. The rest of the mental"midgets" that pass themselves off as investment "experts" have shown that they would excell as cabdrivers, where they belong. He runs a co. that is valued in the billions with a dozen people, no limo's, no millions in salary's or
bonus's, none of the charade that characterizes Wall st.
God bless him, let's hope he lives a long and healthy life, many, many productive years.

UNDATED (WSAU) An advocacy group plans to file a complaint with state elections' officials today about an e-mail that a Milwaukee executive sent to his employees about the presidential contest.
Citizen Action of Wisconsin said Michael White of Rite-Hite tried to intimidate workers last week. His memo told employees to understand the quote, "personal consequences" to them if President Obama is re-elected. Among other things, he said the company's health insurance and retirement contributions might have to end due to higher taxes. White said he respected the workers' right to vote for who they choose, but he said he was just trying to present the facts as he knows them.
Mike Wilder of Citizen Action called on White to retract the e-mail, and apologize to workers at his industrial equipment manufacturing company. Media reports say a number of U-S business leaders are bringing up political concerns to their employees, but a Wisconsin election law bans employers from discussing certain subjects.
After White's memo was publicized last week, the state Government Accountability Board said it would be up to the local district attorney to file charges. And the Milwaukee County D-A said it would be interested in hearing from employees and from White.
Rite-Hite has refused public comment on the e-mail.

The Hive Singapore Hostel
Before u read on, get to know about this:
We have FREE internet access!!
We have to mention that we are 200m away from the Singapore - Malaysia bus terminal at Lavender Street. We understand that many people will transit to Malaysia through Singapore and this bus terminal comes in really handy
Welcome to The Hive Backpackers' Hostel!
Our hostel aims to provide our customers with a different traveling experience. Sleeping is part and parcel of traveling. By providing a nice place to rest, relax and recuperate, we hope our customers would thus enjoy their stay in Singapore.
Heard of the Capsule Hotel in Japan? Well, we have our very own capsule; too! Bearing in mind that there may be people who do not feel comfortable being confined in small spaces, we have come up with something that provides individuals with a private space that is not too restrictive to movements.
Not comfortable with our special beds? We have the normal loft beds too. And because we always have our customers' satisfaction in mind, the loft beds are fitted with foldable guest beds below so no amount of shaking on the upper deck is going to disturb the person below. Knocking your head due to the low height of the typical double decked bed is a thing of the past.
Because we are so near the train station, which shares the train line with the other tourist attractions, there's easy access to everywhere.
Chinatown, Little India, Bugis, Orchard Road, Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, Sentosa, and many more. We can't further emphasise on the convenience.
There's a lot more interesting happenings around in Singapore and The Hive would gladly bring you around as long as you ask. We will try our best to make your stay in Singapore and The Hive a pleasant one.
Oh yes, The Hive is built within a wartime shophouse. This shophouse has been reconditioned to ensure that it does not collapse so do not worry.
Have a feel of what it is like first hand!

Info Hostel da leggereQuesta struttura dispone di Termini e condizioni specifici.
Payments to be made in cash or credit card upon arrival. We do not accept Singaporeans and foreign workers. Official check-in time is after 1500hrs and check-out is before 1100hrs. If you arrive early, you might need to wait until your room is available. If your arrival is early in the morning (like 2am), it does get a little tricky. For example, if you have booked for 20 Sept (Sat) arriving 2am, we take it as you are arriving on the night of 20 Sept and NOT the night of 19 Sept (Fri), although technically it is 20 Sept past midnight of the 19th. Please contact us if you are in doubt. We will hold the room for no more than 3 hours from the time of arrival submitted during the booking. Please try to contact us should there be any problems getting to us on time.

Wow, this is a real piece of work!
Newgrounds should be- and probably is- proud to have the Clock Crew making flashes for the benefit of this site. Pardon my officiousness (intrusion), but are you a member of the Clock Crew yourself, or just an impostor called a Clock Clone? Thank you for the time; this flash has brought me great pleasure.

Unemployment rate 5.6 percent in September
October 07, 2002
The number of unemployed persons (8.1 million) and the unemployment rate (5.6 percent) were essentially unchanged in September.
The jobless rates for the major worker groups—adult men (5.2 percent), adult women (4.9 percent), teenagers (15.7 percent), whites (5.1 percent), blacks (9.6 percent), and Hispanics (7.4 percent)—showed no statistically significant change in September.
About 1.5 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attached to the labor force in September, compared with 1.3 million a year earlier. These individuals reported that they wanted and were available for work and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed, however, because they had not actively searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.
The data in this report are products of the Current Population Survey. For more information, see The Employment Situation: September 2002, (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 02-570.

I realized when I said I was not going to be able to post anymore this week or weekend due to a busy schedule I knew I had to be wrong. I knew I had a certain deadline to meet with a book review and I thought I would get it in at the tail end of my dessert and sweets-free 2 weeks.
Thanks to Naturally Savvy, I recently have become part of their blogger program or a "Naturally Savvy Approved Blogger." The first assignment was to read UnJunk Your Junk Food, written by the creators of this site, so I was really excited.
I am so glad I finished my 2 weeks of going sugar-free with completing this book. I highly recommend reading it because it will change your mind about the "danger" foods you might have in your pantry. Some might say they rather NOT read it because they would not want to get rid or stop eating certain foods but isn't health more important?
There are 11 chapters in this attractive and colorful book. Here are the titles of each chapter:
Chapter 1: The Key to Unjunking
Chapter 2: Back-to-Basics Nutrition
Chapter 3: The Worst Ingredients
Chapter 4: Chips, Dips, & Party Foods
Chapter 5: Ice Cream & Other Frozen Treats
Chapter 6: Cookies
Chapter 7: Chocolate
Chapter 8: Cakes & Others Desserts
Chapter 9: Granola Bars & Other On-the-Go Snacks
Chapter 10: Candy
Chapter 11: Soda & Other Drinks
Are these not interesting chapters? It is wonderful that this book has been written in order to educate us on how to read labels so that the more we can help them to make better (and healthier) food choices when shopping for groceries. I certainly know I have been doing it a lot more than what I've been doing in the past.
The biggest focus of this book is to inform the reader about how important it is to not consume highly processed foods and to also inform how many packaged foods have certain dangerous additives and chemicals. Some of them have names that seem safe but in reality can harm he body over time. The book focuses on Seven DAngerous Additives called the "Scary Seven"
- High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
- Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
- Partially Hydrogenated Oils (trans fats)
- Artificial Colors
- Artificial Sweeteners (including acesulfame potassium, or Ace-K; sucralose [Splenda], and aspartame)
- Artificial Flavors
- Preservatives (including: sodium benzoate, sulphites (sulphur dioxide), polysorbate 60, 65 or 80, nitrites, TBHQ, and BHT/BHA
Did you know that these were harmful?
I was happy that I knew a lot of these facts in the book but there was SO much more information about smaller additive and preservative names that I was not aware of.
My husband and I have been married almost 4 years. When we got married I had been vegetarian for 2 years before abandoning my healthy eating and started eating the way my husband had been eating. What kind of foods? These were the following foods I started consuming:
- Diet sodas
- Processed foods
- Doritos
- White flour tortillas
- Fried foods
How did these affect me? I have to say that I loved being married, but my dietary choices caused a lot of harm to me emotionally, physically and mentally. I started suffering from horrendous and painful migraines. I gained A LOT of weight and I was very unhappy person.
Anyone else gone through something like this? I kept crying and moaning to my husband telling him that my choices were causing my pains. Even though my husband, at the time, did not believe me, I fooled myself and kept on eating the junk.
After we moved to MI almost 3 years ago I decided to follow a vegan lifestyle, cold turkey. I was adamant not wanting to be sad, depressed, unhappy, in pain, and overweight so I was glad I made the change.
It is very true that after removing the foods I had been eating stopped my migraines and I started losing weight and feeling great.
What surprises did I STILL find in my pantry after reading this book? Well, it was not actually in my pantry but on occasion I would eat it and even ate in a few months ago at a friend's home. It IS vegan but NOT healthy.
Yes, Oreos have high-fructose corn syrup and vanillin, which is an artificial flavor.
There are other food items in my pantry that at the time my husband is used to eating and cannot give up eating because he likes the flavor but hopefully some day he would choose other options. All I can do is choose the best foods for our family as best as I can the more I read about food labels.
I know that the biggest thing I can take-away form reading this book is to look even more closely to packaged foods and look for specific names that could be disguised as even healthy ingredients. This means it will affect EVEN more the way I shop.
Why not make my life easier by eating more foods closer to their natural state, eh?
Another plus to the book is that the authors have a HUGE list of recommendations for healthier alternatives for the more processed foods in stores. Now I know I can stick to just buying Newman's O's, Creme-Filled Chocolate Cookies even if they do cost a little more, it just means I will prevent from having any artificial ingredients into my life and body.
I think that is the biggest factor for folks. The desire is present but the excuse is that organic and healthier options are way to expensive, so why CHOOSE to buy the cheaper, full-of-fake-ingredients products? Better not to purchase anything at all. Better yet, make it at home!
New incentive for sure. I hope this has been eye-opening to anyone reading this because there is a food industry that is sure interested in SELLING unhealthy foods causing people major health issues.
Choose to be informed!

Oilers June 2008 Top 20
This is Riley Nash. He is the top prospect in the Edmonton organization, and represents the tail-end of a stunning group of selections 2005-07. From the time the Oilers picked Andrew Cogliano in 2005′s first round to the moment they selected Nash two years later, the procurement group landed a cluster that looks as strong as anything we've seen since 1979-83.
Already in the NHL are Sam Gagner and Cogliano. Still to come are Theo Peckham, Taylor Chorney, Jeff Petry, Cody Wild and any number of deep selections that include Slava Trukhno and Chris Vande Velde.
This group has run all over the 2003 and 2004 picks, with Pouliot and Schremp still waiting in line or on the fringes of NHL employment. The roster spots meant for those kids have been taken away by younger men who are extremely unlikely to give them up.
This time next season, we'll probably be talking about Riley Nash coming out of college, about Theo Peckham forcing Ladislav Smid or Matt Greene off the roster, and about the trio of college puck movers (Chorney, Wild and Petry) who begin their climb up the depth chart with similar skills and not enough room at the top.
The Oilers lost Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano off this list and are still loaded at center and defense. Plus they addressed the need for a shooter with their first round pick this summer. It's a nice place to be.
- C Riley Nash: Tops the list because of a wide range of skills. He impressed with speed and skill at the recent Oilers rookie camp and his NCAA debut was solid bordering on spectacular. Edmonton fans have been able to track college centers a lot recently (Horcoff, Comrie, Cogliano) and this one looks like he'll arrive right on time. His draft resume said he was a big, naturally talented kid and an all around type who could play it any way required. December rank: 7th.
- RW Jordan Eberle: According to ISS, he has the tools required to become an NHL sniper: great touch, hockey sense, quick release, soft hands. Smart, smart player and his goal total gets overlooked despite his playing in an extremely tough league. His 42 goals in 70 GP comes in a league that averages 5.72 goals-per-game. As a comparison, the OHL (6.89) and the QMJHL (6.84) average a goal per game more, meaning Eberle's 42 goals would be north of 50 in the OHL. Unranked in December.
- D Theo Peckham: You can tell a lot about how an organization feels about a prospect just by listening to the men in charge. The Oilers love Theo Peckham. The only negative quote I have ever found about him was after his 13-minute NHL debut against Columbus in March. Kevin Lowe: "He's got to work on getting a little quicker stick." They love his jam, his ability to make decisions, his calm feet and his fearlessness. His open ice hit on the Jacket's Jared Boll made an impression and there's more to come. Possibly as early as the fall. December rank: 11th.
- D Taylor Chorney: I have Chorney at the top of the list from the puck mover family for two reasons: draft pedigree and wheels. I have him behind Peckham among defenders because of his recent injury and the fact that Peckham is farther along as a prospect despite being 6 months younger. He's steady in all areas, moves the puck very well and has plus speed. That's a wonderful combination for a defender and makes up for a lack of size. I think we'll see Chorney play in the NHL a little in 08-09. December rank: 4th.
- C Rob Schremp: Here's a guy who deserves a chance. The Oilers at center since about 2003 have resembled the Houston Astros and their power hitting prospects from about 1971-75: there's a lot of talent that will eventually find its way but some guys are burning daylight and running in place. Sometimes teams have so much talent in one spot that several seasons are wasted because of it. Schremp isn't that player yet, but he deserves a chance beginning now. I'm not a huge fan, but any fool can look at Mike Easler's career and know he could have played long before he got a chance in the show. December rank: 5th.
- D Jeff Petry: This is Dan's son. He does not have first round pedigree but if they re-drafted that season one suspects Petry would go in the first 30 picks. Has a wide range of skills and keeps picking up awards and honors as he rolls through his amateur career. Guy Flaming feels he's the best prospect in the system. I have him lower because of a few reports about high risk plays without the puck, his being a little shy of Chorney as a skater and the fact that he did not reach college hockey until 2 months before his 20th birthday. December rank: 10th.
- LW Liam Reddox- The biggest surprise year over year among Oiler prospects. Based on how the coach used him in Springfield he seems to have a nice range of skills and could be a role player in the show soon. With the Oilers allowing Curtis Glencross to leave via UFA and the laundry list of injuries on LW at the major league level, Reddox is likely to spend more than 40 games in the show if all things stay the same through the summer at his position. December rank: 13th
- LW Slava Trukhno: Struggled in the AHL, especially at EV. He had a 9-game streak where he went 7-5-12, +3 and that appeared to have taken place about the time Pouliot was recalled and Trukhno enjoyed more skilled linemates and increased powerplay time. Finished 64gp, 14-21-35 in Springfield. December rank: 8th.
- D Cody Wild: Oilers signed Wild on the strength of his NCAA season for Providence (32gp, 4-18-22) and he arrived in time to play a little in Springfield (13gp, 1-2-3) which should give him a nice head start for next year. One of three recently drafted college defenders (Chorney, Petry, Wild) who have a nice combination of skills that are similar to each other. I have Chorney ranked first and Wild ranked last among these three, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of separation. December rank: 14th
- G Devan Dubnyk: 33gp, 3.12 .904 in the AHL which don't indicate future #1 starter. He moved up from the ECHL this year and had consistency problems. Looked terrific at times and overwhelmed at others and appears to need at least one more AHL season before he's ready to push for NHL employment. His high ranking relative to performance is due mostly to my having very little knowledge about projecting goaltenders and his original draft number. December rank 9th.
- C Chris Vande Velde: Before he was drafted, Vande Velde got some very nice reviews (including a reference to Keith Primeau in one Redline post). He had a wonderful season, probably did more to advance his cause than anyone not named Liam Reddox on this list. It's important to remember though that despite the impressive year (43gp, 15-17-32) he did it at age 20 in his sophomore season in the NCAA. He was also on a terrific skill line quite often, with 06-07 Hobey Baker winner Ryan Duncan and former 1st rounder T.J. Oshie. Good size and skill, if he can duplicate this past season one suspects he'll turn pro. December rank: 18th
- D Sebastien Bisaillon: He had an injury plagued season but the numbers say he's a player. He has possibly the best shot of the D prospects on this list. He ranks behind the 3 college group because he's more of a "chaos D" than the others and he is slightly undersized, plus of course the injury may have set him back. The Oilers have made some nice decisions out of the Q since 2001. December rank: 19th.
- LW Bryan Lerg: A shooter who is a step ahead of several players in terms of being NHL ready because he's 22-years old. Lerg went 20-19-39 in 42 games for Michigan State (NCAA) and led the club in powerplay goals (10). When Edmonton signs a college free agent or an undrafted junior said player often ends up having a career at the high levels of pro hockey. Lerg is a player of interest, especially considering the LW injury concerns detailed earlier. Size a problem. December Unranked
- D Josef Hrabel: The math has been a fan of this guy from the start and I bet you he makes some noise in TC. He's a smooth skating defender who makes a nice outlet pass and a plus shot. He should be closer to NHL ready than anyone but Mathieu Roy and Theo Peckham on this list. Interesting player. December unranked
- D Johan Motin: Motin's draft pedigree was stellar before the start of the 07-08 season (ISS had him 13th overall as late as November) but he has some nice things in the resume. Strong skater, good passer and he can move the puck efficiently. His decision making wanders toward "high risk" and he needs to mature but he looks like he might be a player. A very nice +5 at the World Juniors. December unranked.
- LW Linus Omark: Omark had a very nice SEL season (55gp, 11-21-32) but he's 5-9. I'd expect him to see North America at some point in time for a full season and he could surprise. His offensive numbers tower over the other Swedish forwards drafted by Edmonton recently. The list of undersized skill players he'd have to pass on the Oilers depth chart to get a chance in the show is very long and impressive. December Unranked.
- G Jeff Deslauriers: 57gp, 2.90 .912 in the AHL. Easily his best season as a pro, Deslauriers seems to have the confidence of management. Kevin Prendergast made a point of saying that the Oilers may have three goalies at the NHL level this season and there are rumors that Roloson may be traded. There is no doubt this is his chance and with his pedigree and resume it may be his only NHL shot. December rank 17th.
- D Mathieu Roy: Went 20gp, 2-8-10 in Springfield and 13gp, 0-1-1 in Edmonton and missed a ton of time in both leagues due to various injuries (most often: concussions). Roy is in danger of losing his career to injuries but when healthy shows some signs of having enough talent to have a future as an NHL role player. December rank 16th.
- C Teemu Hartikainen: Prendergast: "His skating needs to improve a little bit but he's six-foot-two, 200 pounds and he uses his size. He should be on the Finnish junior team at the world championship. I really liked him when I saw him this year. He's almost a poor man's (Tomas) Holmstrom. He competes all over the ice." International Scouting Services: Great work ethic, loves to play a physical style and can chip in offensively. My own feeling is that he's a draft long shot but the things he does well make him a possible role playing forward if he develops. December unranked.
- D Alexandre Plante: A high pick who had a lost season. Part of it may be that Plante's draft clippings may have been out of sync with his actual skill set. By that I mean that if he isn't on the powerplay the offensive numbers aren't going to be there. Including playoffs he went 51gp, 1-4-5 and the big difference season over season (stats-wise) was the lack of time on ice when his team was on the powerplay. When he was drafted Redline said: "At 6-4/215-pounds, he showed surprising offensive skills, particularly on the PP, where he can act as either trigger man or quarterback. He's not a big baggage smasher, but will use his body in front and to tie forwards up along the walls." Recent articles on him have suggested he's physically better and looking forward to a big season. He'll need it to get back on track. December ranking: 12th.
- Graduated from December top 20: Sam Gagner (#1), Andrew Cogliano (#2), Tom Gilbert (#3), Kyle Brodziak (#6). That's a terrific amount of talent.
- Falling off the December list: Colin McDonald (#15), Ryan O'Marra (#20).
- This is a good list but not as strong as June 2007 (obviously). Should the Oilers sign another player to an offer sheet and lose their first three picks in 2008 they would run the risk of ending what has been a quality draft run 2001-08.

Hot Drinks: What's Keeping You Warm This Week?
Hot cocoa with a big, fat marshmallow... Piping hot coffee with a caffeine kick... A well-made espresso with a curl of steam... Sweet, milky tea fresh from the teapot...
We are keeping our hands cupped around a hot drink as much as possible right now. Coffee or an Americano in the morning is an essential, but so is lemon ginger tea in the evening. If you're battling a cold or the flu, try our Flu Season Ginger Honey Lemon Tonic.
What's keeping you warm right now? Any plans for special spiked hot drinks over the holidays?
16 Comments
Hot chicken stock as a snack. Hot milk with cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup for breakfast.
Godiva hot chocolate and rum... with some whipped cream, of course!
I'm always drinking tea, whether it's cold or not (this is our tea cabinet: http://www.flickr.com/photos/13108435@N03/1356985760/in/set-72157601953721707/ )
But the other night I made some good hot chocolate with droste cocoa and plenty of marshmallows, yummy!
Miso soup :)
The Glog from Cost Plus World Market or Ikea with a shot of spiced rum.
I just like steamed milk, with a little dash of vanilla syrup...ie the "melted marshmellow."
hot cocoa, dash of cinnamon and Bailey's caramel
Chai teak with chocolate and milk added. Very warm!
I just learned how to make a really good Chai.
It's a white chocolate Chai latte. You could substitute Rooibos for a decaf version.
Brew a good loose leaf chai or rooibos. Steam or bring soy milk close to a boil and whisk in pieces of white chocolate. Fill cup halfway with the hot tea and then pour the white chocolate soy milk into the tea from up high so as to create a little foam.
I wasn't sure about this at first because I'm not crazy about sweet, flavored coffees and teas but this one hits the spot.
Of course, you could use plain milk rather than soy if you wanted too.
I'd like it to be the divinely decadent Vosges Bianca hot cocoa, but freshly brewed coffee is what's keeping me warm at the moment.
a cup of miso soup for a quick pick-me-up, and ginger honey lemon tea.
Marie-Belle hot chocolate (european style).
I wasn't sure if Chai counted as tea or not but since it is tea I put that. Anyway, thats what I've been mainly making although I am still perfecting the spice blend, and I am also experimenting with drinking chocolate----its pretty intense so its not an everyday kind of thing.
Definitely hot chocolate! It was 39 degrees in Orlando, FL this morning - not a common thing. We warmed up with home made hot chocolate.
Pregnancy means the lower-caffeine and no-alcohol options are the ones I'm choosing. Plus, all excuses for hot chocolate are good excuses.
Instant Russian Tea! Not very high brow, but very nostalgic. Tang, lemonade, tea & spices.

Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
What's a given business or subdivision or investment worth over its lifetime? See hurdle rate, discounted cash flow, and net present value. Those terms explain the concept better than we can here. The problem with ARR is that it ignores the time value of money - remember that a buck today is worth more than a buck tomorrow. ARR methods of valuing things are also problematic in that they focus on profits - which are definable many ways - rather than cash flows, which are usually much less subject to accounting shenanigans.

The Green Bay Press Gazette reported Wednesday that Clay Matthews is close to signing a new contract with the Packers, closer than Aaron Rodgers is with his pending mega-deal. Matthews is entering the final year of his rookie contract. He's made the Pro Bowl in each of his first four seasons and is looking at a deal that could play him upwards of 13 million dollars a season. Rodgers is on the verge of becomming the NFL's highest paid player with a contract extension that may average as much as 25 million dollars a season. Both players are represented by the same agent, David Dunn. They would like the contracts in place by the time the Packers begin their off-season training program on April 15.

Authorities are in Lago Vista Sunday wrapping up efforts to recover the body of a fisherman who went missing overnight.
A neighbor tells FOX 7 he was with him just a few hours earlier.
The search for the fisherman began around 11:30 Saturday night.
After several hours, the Travis County Sheriff's Dive Team was called out.
The recovery phase began Sunday morning.
Darin Ginther says he's been neighbors with the fisherman for about four years.
"He's up here almost every weekend working on little things," says Darin Ginther, neighbor.
He was with him right before he was reported missing.
Ginther says fishing at night is what his neighbor often liked to do.
"Whenever he comes in on the weekends, we typically stop by and say hi. We were just sitting out there on the porch and enjoying the evening, it was a really nice evening," says Ginther.
It was just after 8:00 Saturday night when Ginther went back to his house to sleep, he was woken up around 1:00 Sunday morning to the sound of helicopters.
Austin Travis County EMS responded to the area of the 17000 block of Whippoorwill Trail and DPS assisted the search by helicopter.
Authorities say two men were in a boat when they saw the accident happen.
They say a fisherman was standing on his dock when he accidentally fell over.
"He has an attached floating dock. That dock is really stable, we've been on it a lot. I wouldn't say the dock itself is inherently dangerous. It's a newer dock, it's well maintained," says Ginther.
It was around 8:00 Sunday morning when the search phase turned into a recovery phase, with the Travis County Sheriff's Dive Team at the dock where the man was last seen.
Ginther says the property in Lago Vista has been a vacation home for the fisherman, who is around 60-years-old.
"He has a son and daughter here in the Austin area. The third son is I think in Oklahoma on his way down," says Ginther.
Authorities say the family hasn't heard from their dad since last night, which comes as a shock to them as well as Ginther.
"I certainly hope he turns up but if not, it's absolutely tragic. We really like him and his wife. I said hi to him all the time," says Ginther.
The Travis County Sheriff's Office says the Dive Team has suspended efforts for Sunday and will continue on Monday.
They say it appears to be an accident.

Jeff Hornacek's first training camp as head coach is over, and he's already impressed some of his best players with how he does his job.
Five days of training at 7,000 feet in the pines of Arizona ended with a scrimmage in front of several thousand people on Saturday, the first baby steps in the rebuilding of a franchise coming off the second-worst season in franchise history.
The Suns' P.J. Tucker says Hornacek already is one of his favorite coaches even though he hasn't played a game for him.
Phoenix point guard Goran Dragic, who had barely even met Hornacek before the camp began, says the coach combines the ability to teach with a low-key demeanor.

For many cyclists, it's the dream machine—a custom carbon-fiber road bike. Whether you're a corner-diving criterium racer, back-road adventurer, or lithe mountain goat, custom bicycles can be fashioned to your specifications by adjusting geometry, tube stiffness, and component packages.
The downside, of course, is price; a complete custom carbon-fiber bike starts about $6,000, and it's not hard to spend $10,000. But for those who own one, it's hard to go back to mass-produced rigs. Here's a look at how one manufacturer, Parlee Cycles, brings custom carbon-fiber bikes to life. —Jason Sumner
A set of mitered tubes that have been readied for lay-up. All tube ends are media-blasted and cleaned for improved adhesion. Next, a worker will wrap the ends that will form the frame's joints. Parlee doesn't use preformed lugs but instead wraps the lug before the bike goes into a jig. This allows for finer geometry adjustments.

NORTH FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) - A 19-year-old Fond du Lac County man is facing several charges related to shooting his gun off.
During a traffic stop in North Fond du Lac Wednesday, the man was taken into custody.
Authorities say it all started just after 7 p.m. Wednesday, when shots were reported outside a home on Glenwood Drive in the city of Fond du Lac. The suspect took off before police arrived.
Then, someone was seen firing a shot into the air on Florida Avenue in the Village of North Fond du Lac. Authorities say the suspect in that case matched the description of the earlier shooter.
Police eventually found the suspect during a traffic stop at the intersection of Winnebago Street and Prospect Avenue in North Fond du Lac. He was taken into custody at gun point.
A 47-year-old North Fond du Lac man was also in the vehicle. He is the father of the 19-year-old and is not believed to have fired any shots.
No one was hurt in either shooting.

Should we force kids to learn material they don't show interest in?
As a college graduate I was thinking about how much material I have studied in all of my educational career and then promptly forgotten after the test. Is it a waste of time to try and learn something you are not interested in? To what extent should we allow educational autonomy?
There are a lot of different ways to be intelligent. Memorization and regurgitation are just one small facet.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 8 2013: Well, I'll just keep replying since your convo expires soon. It seems to me you are raising two different issues. One is the issue of narrowness of expertise, you're saying that each professor only has a small field he/she is interested in. I could see this as a strength because they'll actually be good at this field. Well, I cannot remember if algebra was required, was it? If it wasn't, and you didn't want to take it, you just didn't take it. If it was required, well, I would suppose someone made a decision that algebra is worth knowing for life. The thing is, though, Brian, algebra is hard. To really get it under your belt, I would think you'd have to spend a school year on it, doing it over and over with different kinds of word problems, really working it until you have it for life. I'm fifty-two and I use it occasionally, and I'm guessing I remember it because we drilled it over and over until we remembered it.
The other issue you're raising is whether it has practical use. As I say, I use it occasionally, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to gauge whether it should be required. Right now I can't think of a specific example, but I know it has come up where I have three knowns and I want to know what the fourth, x, is. Oh just hypothetically, let's say you had a tire that extended four inches from the rim, and you knew the tire held sixty pounds of air. You're thinking of buying a tire that extends six inches from the rim and you want to know how many pounds of air that will take, who knows why, maybe you have an air cylinder that only has so much air left in it. It's not a very good example, but that would be an algebra problem, it can come in handy. Also it gives me an appreciation, like when I read an article about science or math in a magazine I appreciate it more because I have a knowledge about the basics of math and science.
Feb 8 2013: I don't know if your just trying to disagree with everything I have to say or you honestly have a completely different opinion. haha
Algebra was mandatory yes. I don't want someone to decide what's required for me to learn in life. I want an overview of subjects, I want relevance, I want critical thinking and creativity. Eventually yes a student has to decide what they want to focus on. Once they have is when I see the need for classes like algebra (if it pertains).
Feb 9 2013: Well, your comment is really interesting, Brian. I wish I hadmore time to think about it.
I probably took algebra at age thirteen. I don't know if I could have decided what I wanted to do at age thirteen and picked my classes accordingly. But I was quite happy to take a variety of classes (many were required), because I had the sense that I would be a well-rounded individual, that as I got older and tried to meet the challenges of life it would help to have a variety of skills. And it does, I can say at age 52 that it really helps me to have a varied set of skills and knowledge.
I honestly use algebra from time to time, and it really comes in handy in a very practical way. Here's another lousy example: if I know I get a certain amount of interest per month on my savings, but the month is cut short, to say 28 days, how much interest should I expect to get. This is a bad example because it's kind of OCD, it's not going to be that much different; but other more relevant examples do arise.
But you know, maybe you don't have a math mind. But maybe you should change and become more math-oriented, if just for your finances. What about these rock stars who make millions of dollars and don't know where it all goes because they dislike math?

Tuesday's video of the day comes from the University of Massachusetts.
You know how Massachusetts got pounded by snow the other day? A UMass student decided to use the snow to ask a life changing question. Check it out.
Him and friends write, "Sara will you marry me" in the snow.
At first you hear people ask if this is a prank but then something really cool happens. Watch the right side of your screen as the group is walking away.

- " The worst experience ever! I arrived at 20:00 at night to tell me that they don't have a private room that I had booked since 1 month ago! And they would put me and my mother to a 10 mixed dorm with 2 guys ! I have to add that I had sent many emails before arriving asking if everything is ok with my booking! I had to run out on the streets to look for a proper place to pass the night..Aweful! "
