Since the early 1980s when home computers were developed with software for personal productivity, programming and games and then again with the debut of the World Wide Web in the '90s, technology has experienced countless advancements.
With the development of smartphones small enough to fit in one's pocket and iPads capable of being easily transported wherever their owners go, technology enables one to do daily business virtually anywhere, granted an Internet connection is available.
However, while accessibility to technology has increased with the continued debut of new gadgets, that same accessibility can sometimes bring unexpected problems.
For Anna Dailey, attorney at Dinsmore & Shohl, something as simple as updating her LinkedIn account turned into hours spent doing damage control.
I'm still here
According to Dailey, the questions started coming after she updated her LinkedIn account to reflect her resignation from her position as president of the Kanawha County Parks and Recreation Commission, while taking on the role of parks commissioner.
"I started receiving congratulations for my new position," Dailey said.
The position Dailey thought she was receiving all the congratulatory wishes for was her newly elected position as a board of directors member for Dinsmore & Shohl.
But then when she was repeatedly asked why she retired, followed by numerous calls from clients and friends asking why she had left the practice of law.
After coming back to the office and talking to colleagues as well as a conversation with her assistant general counsel at lunch, Dailey realized people thought she had left Dinsmore and was "running the park," based on her LinkedIn update of her parks and recreation position.
While Dailey said she "does have some grey in her hair, (she) has no short-term plans of retiring."
What to do
Dailey learned about Linked-In's misleading update Friday, March 21 and was in an "absolute panic over the weekend."
With more than 500 connections stretching all the way from Philadelphia to Alabama and being connected to numerous business clients such as insurance companies, Dailey said she had "to do something in (her) profile to change it."
Because LinkedIn sends out emails for numerous events, such as new positions, company anniversaries and birthday notifications, all of her contacts had gotten a blast about the misleading message, Dailey said.
However, figuring how to best go about quieting the rumor mill was no easy task.
"It was very difficult to figure out what to do," Dailey said.
In the course of trying to dispel the rumblings that she had "gone into early retirement," Dailey said she discovered the root of the confusion.
When updating one's account, LinkedIn displays community service jobs as if they were career jobs.
Not knowing how else to rectify the situation, Dailey posted her board member position, hoping that would fix the misconception.
"I hadn't corrected my bio about the board of directors (position)," she said. "I didn't know another way to fix (the situation)."
Lessons learned
After resurrecting her law career's social media status, Dailey said she now is more wary about posting community service positions. She said she still doesn't know if her solution fixed the misconception for the long term.
The timing of the situation also came at a less-than ideal time.
During the winter weekends, when most prefer the warmth of the indoors rather than the cold of the outside, social media browsing usually picks up speed, Dailey said.
"The weekends in winter is when people see everyone's Facebook," she said.
Due to increased social media browsing and opening up notifications through curiosity, people also notice things that might have previously gone under the radar.
Although Dailey said she usually doesn't keep up with many social notifications, she does "pay attention when someone has moved to a new job."
"It's how you find out where people go," she said.
Now that Dailey's panic period has subsided, she said she is able to laugh about it and said to sum it up, "it's a funny story to share, unless it's your career that LinkedIn just ended."

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Review: 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By Kirk Bell of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Hyundai moves successfully upmarket with Genesis, the company's best car yet. Highlighted by a sporting character, lots of amenities, willing power and a smooth ride, the Genesis hits a sweet spot between more expensive European and less refined American sedans.
In the beginning, Hyundai created econoboxes. Then, in the early 2000s, the fledgling South Korean automaker began a move upmarket, with larger, more luxurious vehicles. For 2009, Hyundai is taking its biggest leap yet with Genesis. This large rear-wheel-drive sport sedan has aspirations to take on the likes of the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but is priced closer to that of the Chrysler 300 and Pontiac G8. We've driven the Genesis, and saw that it is good.
Model Lineup
The 3.8 is available with much of the 4.6's equipment, and both versions can be ordered with a Technology Package that includes front- and rear obstacle detection, heated and cooled front seats, a 17-speaker, 7.1-channel Lexicon surround sound audio system, an HD radio, XM NavTraffic, a rearview camera, adaptive xenon headlights, a navigation system, and a 40-gigabyte hard drive for music files and navigation map information. A fully loaded 4.6 tops out at $42,000, including destination charges.
Under the Hood
The V8 version offers Hyundai's new Tau 4.6-liter DOHC V8. Hyundai has outfitted this engine with the latest technology, including continuously variable timing for both the intake and exhaust valves and a Variable Intake System designed to allow the engine to breathe more efficiently at both low and high speeds. The result is 375 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 333 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm with premium fuel. Opt for regular fuel and those numbers drop slightly to 368 horsepower and 324 lb-ft of torque. Like the V6, the V8 comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic, and is rated at 17/25 mpg.
Inner Space
With the optional navigation system, the Genesis has a central multimedia control to operate the radio, navigation system, iPod interface, trip computer, and Bluetooth phone, among other settings. It uses a large rotating knob and six buttons to select the various functions. Compared to similar systems from BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, the Hyundai system is simpler to use, but it still adds a couple steps to simple tasks such as programming a radio station. The navigation system can be programmed on the fly and can also be controlled by voice commands.
Front- and rear-seat legroom is quite good, though tall rear-seat passengers might want more headroom. The seats are comfortable, but sit up higher than some might prefer and don't have all that many adjustments given the Genesis's overall level of luxury. Small item storage is decent, but the Genesis could use a couple more cubbies for cell phones, keys and the like. The trunk is deep, with 15.9 cubic feet of cargo room. It has a standard rear pass-through, but we'd much prefer folding rear seats, which Hyundai opted against for structural reasons.
On the Road
We had the opportunity to drive the Genesis on both twisty two-lane roads and on a small California road course. The Genesis proved to be a capable handler, and a viable match for the Mercedes. By comparison, the Genesis feels a bit number and doesn't have as much steering feel as the E-Class, but it stays flatter through turns. The V6 version has a better weight balance than the V8, making it easier to direct through high-speed corners.
On the road, the Genesis provides a smooth, quiet ride, even with the 4.6's 18-inch wheels. The ride offered no float or wallow, though it was prone to bounding motions over humps and ruts at highway speeds. The V6 has plenty of zip for most every need. The car gets underway with gusto and highway passing is worry free. Hyundai claims a 6.2-second 0-60 mph time for the V6, but our seat-of-the-pants feel and an unofficial run told us it feels more like 7.5 seconds, which is still fairly quick.
Hyundai boasts that the Tau V8 puts out more horsepower per liter than any vehicle in its class. A turn behind the wheel seemed to bear that out. The V8 has lots of power from a stop, responsive midrange punch, and plenty of reserve when that extra bit is needed to get around traffic on the highway. The V8's extra power comes with little fuel economy penalty, and we believe Hyundai's quoted 5.7-second 0-60 mph time.
Each engine is mated to a different 6-speed automatic transmission and both shift smoothly, with quick downshifts for passing. Given the Genesis's sporty aspirations, however, Hyundai might consider adding steering wheel paddles to enhance the fun when canyon carving.

Philadelphia—Eagles Coach Andy Reid said on Monday that Quarterback Michael Vick broke two ribs early in the game against Arizona and didn't say a word about it. Reid said Vick played through the pain but it probably had something to do with his inaccuracy in the 21-17 loss to the Cardinals. Vick's status for Sunday Night's game versus the Giants is uncertain right now.
The following is the entire transcript from Reid's Monday press conference in Philadelphia:
Injury report: "[T] King Dunlap has a concussion. [WR] Jeremy Maclin has an AC sprain and a slight hamstring strain. [CB] Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has a high ankle sprain. [QB] Michael Vick has a couple of broken ribs. [G] Evan Mathis is doing better with a toe sprain. And [S] Nate Allen is doing better with the concussion."
Opening remarks: "The obvious is we didn't play very well yesterday and that's my responsibility as a head football coach of this team. And I have to make sure that I do a better job and let the guys around me do a better job. I'd like to be able to point at one area but that's not what this is, it's a combination of things, all of us doing our jobs better [and] particularly in the fourth quarter as things go on; we have to make sure that we finish games. The other obvious is 11 penalties and a couple turnovers, we can't do that. Also, 3 for 15 on third down conversions, that's you're shooting at 20 percent conversion margin there, and that's obviously not good enough. And then, being able to get of the field on key third down situations is also important, even though their percentage was only 38 percent."
On whether Vick had more than the wind knocked out of him when he went down: "He broke his ribs, yeah."
On whether he knew about Vick's injury: "No, Michael didn't say anything. They're his lower two ribs."
On whether he will play on Sunday: "We'll see in the next couple days how things go."
On when the injury to Vick's ribs occurred: "Second play of the game."
On whether he said anything to the coaches: "He didn't say anything, not a word. He's a tough nut."
On whether it is a stretch for Vick to begin practicing on Wednesday: "We'll see. I have to just see here in the next little bit."
On whether he thinks Vick's injury affected his accuracy: "Well, I'd probably say that it had something to do with it."
On whether he would rather have Vick tell the coaches and let them make a decision on the injury: "Listen, he did some good things. We were in a position to win the game and I don't think it came down to him right there."
On whether he would want Vick to tell him: "Well, he said his juices he said he really just blanked it out and played is kind of what he said, and really didn't think twice about it."
On whether backup QB Vince Young will get the reps if Vick is injured: "We'll see how all of that goes."
On whether Maclin's shoulder or his hamstring is more serious of an injury: "His shoulder. His shoulder is."
On whether G Evan Mathis has made some good progress: "He's actually doing some rehab now and we'll have a better feel after his meetings."
On Rodgers-Cromartie's ankle: "That's a tough one. He's going to struggle to make it back for the game on Sunday."
On when Dunlap complained of symptoms: "After the game."

Max Pacioretty is the latest NHL player to head overseas, as the Montreal Canadiens winger has joined Ambri Piotta of the Swiss League.
The 23-year-old led Montreal last season with 65 points in 79 games and was second in goal-scoring with 33 goals, two fewer than teammate Erik Cole.
Last month he signed a six-year contract extension with the Canadiens worth US$27-million, an average of $4.5 million per season.
The six-foot-two, 210-pound Connecticut native sustained a fractured neck and a concussion in March 2011 after taking a hit from Boston's Zdeno Chara, but returned to Montreal's roster the following season.
Since the Habs drafted Pacioretty 22nd overall in the 2007 draft, he's scored 53 goals and 61 assists for 114 points in 202 career NHL games.

Loeb won't reveal what's next just yet, but when [Cable] does return, he'll be very different than he's been in past stories. "The one thing I did want to do was [something I explained when] Axel and I sat down at the beginning of this. I said, 'To have him come back just to come back doesn't mean anything. When I left the book 100 years ago, I was telling this story about the techno-organic virus and how it was a part of him that he was completely losing control of. Here's a chance to see what happens if we go in the exact opposite direction. Let's start with a man who's terminally ill and see what happens when he gets a brand new lease on life in a way we've never seen before.' That was what was so exciting about this story. When you get to the end of that story, he is virus free. And we've seen in Nate Grey – a character I had a hand in creating for 'X-Man' – how powerful this guy can be when the techno-organic virus isn't weighing down everything you're doing. All I can tell you is that when Cable comes back, he'll be a force to be reckoned with. But the length of that gestation period you'll have to wait to see on."
That doesn't make me feel good about Nate Grey's odds, if Nathan and him are both virus-free.

Spartan NFL Combine Report: Saturday
Feb. 23, 2013
Spartan NFL Combine Central | Photo Gallery
INDIANAPOLIS - Tight end Dion Sims was the first Spartan to test for the on-field workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Running back Le'Veon Bell is scheduled to test on Sunday, defensive lineman William Gholston will test on Monday, and cornerback Johnny Adams is set for Tuesday.
Sims rated as a top performer among the tight ends in two of the seven tests. The Detroit, Mich., native tied for third with 22 reps on the bench press (225 pounds) and was fourth in the vertical jump with a leap of 35.0 inches.
In the running tests, Sims recorded a 4.75 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.52 in the 20-yard shuttle, a 12.10 in the 60-yard shuttle and a 7.36 in the three-cone drill.
Sims had a broad jump of 112.0 inches.
"I think he had a good overall workout," said ESPN NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay. "He ran in the 4.7's (in the 40), he has good size, he's a solid blocker - one of the better blocking tight ends in this class. It's a very deep class of a lot guys that catch the ball well and cannot be in-line blockers. There are teams that are out there that need an in-line blocker, and he's on the short list. The depth of this tight end class might hurt him, but I still think he has a chance to go somewhere in that mid-to-late third round range."
For a complete look at all of the day's testing, visit NFL.com/Combine.
FROM SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: Former Indianapolis Colts president/general manager and current ESPN analyst Bill Polian took some time on Saturday to visit with MSUSpartans.com. Polian talked about the four Spartans at this year's NFL Combine, and also gave his thoughts on MSU head coach Mark Dantonio and the Spartan program.
On Michigan State...
"Every Michigan State player has an added advantage because he's coached by Mark Dantonio and comes from that program. Michigan State has the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. There are a handful of programs in America where you say this kid will step right into our program and know exactly what to do all the time. That's a benefit for all of the Spartan players (at the NFL Combine).
"All of these kids will be on an NFL squad come opening day."
On Le'Veon Bell...
"The knock on Le'Veon is that he's not a fast player and that maybe he lacks a little acceleration in the hole. I don't believe that from scouting him. But I do think that the numbers here will be important for him. If he can run 4.52, 4.53, then his stock is going to soar, because he's got everything else you want.
"He's a very complete back. If you look at the whole body of work, it's complete and it's pretty darn good. But this is an example of where the combine can help. If he runs well, or runs well at the Pro Day, then he's fine."
On Dion Sims...
On William Gholston...
"He's not an explosive first step pass-rusher. He'll become a power pass-rusher and that will give him an added advantage because he's big enough to go inside in the nickel and pass rush from the inside. He has value even as a three-down player."
On Johnny Adams...
WHAT'S NEXT: Live coverage of on-field workouts continues Sunday, Feb. 24 at 9 a.m. with the running backs, quarterbacks and wide receivers. Linebackers and defensive linemen will test on Monday, Feb. 25, and defensive backs on Tuesday, Feb. 26. Coverage of workouts begins each day at 9 a.m. on the NFL Network and NFL.com.
ABOUT THE NFL COMBINE: The NFL Scouting Combine (National Invitational Camp) is organized and operated by National Football Scouting, Inc. NFL Network and NFL.com will provide more than 60 hours of live coverage from Lucas Oil Stadium. More than 600 NFL personnel, including head coaches, general managers, scouts and medical staff representing all 32 teams, will attend the Scouting Combine and evaluate more than 330 of the nation's top college players eligible for the upcoming 2013 NFL Draft through on-field drills, physical testing, psychological exams, as well as formal and informal interviews.

St. Ignatius College Prep senior Jack Keelan is this week's Prep Star of the Week.
Keelan was the pre-race favorite at the state 3A Cross Country Championship race at Detweiler Park in Peoria and he would not disappoint.
Inspired in part by his failure to qualify for the state meet a year ago, Keelan built a comfortable lead and was never challenged down the stretch. He finished with the 10th fastest time in state meet history - 14 minutes and five seconds.
Keelan became just the second athlete in St. Ignatius history to win a state championship.
Congratulations to Jack who carries a 3.8 GPA and is being recruited by several of the top colleges in the country.

There were few facilities and little money that first academic year, but the eight students and three faculty members who gathered for classes in 1872 showed the same dedication to learning and commitment to excellence that has carried the University of Arkansas into the 21st century.
More than 140 years later, the university's enrollment is more than 25,000 and its students represent all 50 states and 120 countries. The university is the state's foremost partner and resource for education and economic development. It serves as the major provider of graduate-level instruction in Arkansas. And its public service activities reach every county in Arkansas, throughout the nation, and around the world.

Police were looking for a gun-toting bicyclist in connection with a shooting and robbery late Monday night in west Salt Lake City.
Detectives say the alleged incident occurred near 1200 West Mead (1000 South) about 11 p.m. Police learned of the case when a 24-year-old man showed up at a local hospital with a gunshot wound to his arm.

The victim told officers he was sitting in his car when an African-American male rode up on a bicycle and opened fire with a handgun. The man then purportedly stole the victim's wallet and pedaled away.
The victim was able to drive himself home and a relative then took him to the emergency room, where he was treated for the non-life threatening wound.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call police at 801-799-3000.

A couple was killed inside of an apartment near 35th Avenue and McDowell Road on Wednesday morning. When police arrived at the scene, they found a 4-month-old baby boy sound asleep in his crib.
Neighbors called 9-1-1 after hearing gunshots just before 3 a.m.Phoenix Police Officer James Holmes says officers entered the apartment when there was no response to knocks and yelling. Inside, 20-year-old Alexis Garcia and 17-year-old Fabian Valenzuela were found shot to death in a bedroom.
Garcia is the child's mother. Police are still investigating her relationship with Valenzuela.
Police say after searching the Maryvale home, they found information that made 24-year-old Richard Luzania, Garcia's former boyfriend, a person of interest.
Officers found Luzania with 20-year-old Christian Arguelles and several other people. According to investigators, multiple items of incriminating evidence were found and seized. Police say Luzania and Arguelles were interviewed and both gave full confessions to killing Garcia and Valenzuela. Both men were booked into jail and charged with 2 counts of 1st Degree Murder and other related felonies.
The baby was turned over to Child Protective Services.

The Ilya Kovalchuk Sweepstakes are now on in a big way. Or so it would seem.
Atlanta GM Don Waddell did talk to Kovalchuk today and tell him the Thrashers are now exploring their trade options, and reiterated that to Kovalchuk's agent Jay Grossman.
So, all things being equal, the Thrashers would like to put this all to bed in the next few days and perhaps have Kovalchuk traded before the team's next game on Friday night.
If that happens, no one should be surprised.
But while there are reports that five or six teams are "seriously" interested in Kovalchuk, the dynamic for each of the teams is different, unique if you will, and those expressions of "interest" would appear to run the gamut from tire kicking to legitimate but somewhat cautious interest.
Compounding the muddiness of the picture is what Waddell and the Thrashers expect to get in return for Kovalchuk.
Keep in mind he is a rental. At this point, Waddell is not going to allow teams to talk to Kovalchuk or his agent about a long-term contract extension because to do so would put the power into the hands of the player and his agent. It's true that a team might be willing to give the Thrashers more to acquire Kovalchuk if they knew they could sign him long term, but that would also put Waddell over a barrel to accept whatever that one team and one team only is offering. And he won't allow that to happen.
Waddell has been telling teams he can't make this a future considerations' trade, that with the Thrashers in the hunt for a playoff spot, he doesn't need to peddle hope to his fans with draft picks and kids, he needs to put bona fide NHL bodies in the lineup to make up for Kovalchuk's absence and keep the playoff dream alive.
Teams have been told Waddell wants one top six forward, one top four defenceman and a prospect or high end draft pick.
That's a steep price for a rental player, even one who scores goals like Kovalchuk.
Also keep in mind that Kovalchuk has turned down a 10-12 year offer that totals more than $100 million from the Thrashers. His agent says they are looking for the league maximum of $11.2 million per year, or a total commitment of about $120 million on a long-term deal, but others wonder if that number would drop somewhat if he lands in the city where he wants to be. And also keep in mind that as an unrestricted free agent this summer, the KHL and some really big money may also be an option for Kovalchuk.
So those are some of the dynamics at work and scary dynamics they are.
Let's take a look, alphabetically, at the teams purported to have some interest and just how legitimate it may be.
Boston: The struggling Bruins could definitely use an infusion of offence and their interest in Kovalchuk is legitimate. But the Bruins are looking at him purely as a rental. Given Kovalchuk's financial demands and expectations in free agency, Boston is not prepared to take on that salary under virtually any circumstances. So Boston's offer will reflect that and may not match up with others.
Defenceman Dennis Wideman, who is on hard times with his play this season, would be the centerpiece of anything Boston does. Because he's under contract for another two years after this season, Wideman may be an attractive piece for the Thrashers. The Bruins also have their own first-round pick, which much to their chagrin is a lot higher at this moment than they ever dreamed possible, plus Toronto's first-round pick (via the Phil Kessel trade), which is a potential top-three selection.
Bruins' GM Peter Chiarelli has made it clear he isn't going to part with the Leaf pick but the Bruin pick could definitely be in play with Wideman and some other asset to sweeten the pot.
Is it enough? Only Waddell will be able to judge that once all the offers are on the table, but the conventional wisdom is it may come up shy compared to another offer from a team that is fully prepared to sign Kovalchuk to a new deal.
Chicago: There is some real question as to whether Chicago should even be included in the group of interested teams.
There is every reason to believe that general manager Stan Bowman has no interest whatsoever in disrupting the chemistry of his high-flying Cup contending Blackhawks for Kovalchuk and they're totally out of these sweepstakes. That's the word on the street.
But there are two reasons to at least still mention Chicago as an outside possibility.
One, team president John McDonough is the type of hands-on executive who lives to make a splash and has the "wants" every time a big-name player comes available. There are few bigger than Kovalchuk. McDonough is involved enough that he may try to influence proceedings, even though from a hockey perspective, the interest in Kovalchuk is limited at best.
Two, the Blackhawks know they are going to have to divest some players in the off-season for cap reasons next season. The names most often mentioned are defenceman Cam Barker and forwards Kris Versteeg and Patrick Sharp. An offer of Barker and Versteeg would be entirely in the strata of what Waddell would love to get for Kovalchuk, but given the cap situation in Chicago, Kovalchuk would be virtually impossible to sign long term. The Hawks could stock their cupboard in the off season trading those players for prospects or picks, so when you add it all up, it doesn't compute that Chicago is in hard on Kovalchuk.
Los Angeles: A lot of people believe the Kings are the most logical destination for Kovalchuk and his most likely landing spot because they have not only the wherewithal to do the deal now, they could afford and have the cap room to sign him. There was an internet report last night suggesting Kovalchuk to L.A. was all but a done deal. That was not the case last night because, to this point anyway, the Kings have not been prepared to offer the bona fide NHL players the Thrashers are seeking.
If Atlanta is going to do a deal with Los Angeles, the Thrashers want defenceman Jack Johnson as part of the package. Thus far, the Kings have rejected that notion entirely. The conventional wisdom is that the Kings could trade Johnson, centre Alexander Frolov and a prospect such as Ted Purcell (or one of their many other young prospects) for Kovalchuk and the deal would be done in the snap of the fingers.
But as determined as the Kings are to a) make the playoffs, and b) make some noise in the playoffs, there may be a sense there that they are still a year or two away from challenging the elite teams such as Chicago and San Jose and that while adding Kovalchuk's gun would be huge, the benefits would be mitigated by losing Frolov and Johnson.
Therefore, to this point, the Kings want to do this deal primarily on the back of their prospects. As long as that is the case, the fit isn't right.
But if the Kings' hockey hierarchy switches gears, or ownership in L.A. invokes pressure to make a splash and deviate from the hockey department blueprint, the Kings could easily vault to the front of the pack.
That's the issue facing the Kings. That, and whether they want to sign Kovalchuk long term at huge money.
New Jersey: The Devils are the stealth bombers on this list. They only were mentioned in the last few days and like most things out of New Jersey, it's shrouded in secrecy and mystery. If anyone knows precisely what Lou Lamoriello is interested in offering, or if he's actually serious in making an offer, step to the front of the line because you're a better man than me.
But if you peruse the Devils' lineup and see what established players they have who "might" be available under the right circumstances, the two names that jump out are Brian Rolston and Dainus Zubrus. But honestly, it's a lot more guesswork than anything else where the Devils are concerned.
Enough said.
New York Rangers: There is no question the Thrashers want the Rangers involved because Waddell would love to get one or two of defenceman Marc Staal or forwards Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan. And while the Rangers traditionally have the "wants" as bad as any team when it comes to marquee talent such as Kovalchuk, this time it looks like Glen Sather may actually be considering some restraint.
Really, the Rangers' primary need is not for a Kovalchuk type scorer. They already have Marian Gaborik on the wing. They have a building block in Henrik Lundqvist in net. They have Staal on the blueline. The missing piece of the puzzle is a centre. Trading Dubinsky would devastate the Rangers. In a perfect world, the Rangers would be much more interested in, say, Vinny Lecavalier than Kovalchuk, but the former isn't available right now and the latter is.
So the Rangers, as they are wont to do, will explore their options and Waddell will encourage that because he sees assets he would dearly love, but it doesn't look like the right fit, unless Sather decides to take a walk on the wild side.
Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers are another team that likes to chase the big game, but their cap situation is extremely tight and there's a real legitimate question whether they have the desire or the cap space going forward to sign Kovalchuk to an extension. Still, Flyers' GM Paul Holmgren has been talking a lot to Waddell. The names that keep popping up out of Philadelphia are forward Scott Hartnell and defenceman Matt Carle, both of whom are under contract for three years and two years, respectively, but Philadelphia would have to off-load more salary than that to make it work.
So there is obviously some interest from Philadelphia but it doesn't "feel" like really intense interest.
Maybe there's another team out there in the weeds that we don't know about, but if you look at it logically, it's difficult to come up with one outside of Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Jersey, New York Rangers and Philadelphia. That said, sources say there is most definitely a "wild card" team, which has yet to be mentioned as a candidate, with legitimate interest.
Anaheim? It's difficult to believe they would bring a player making that much more than Ryan Getzlaf and threaten salary structure on the Ducks.
Buffalo? The profile doesn't fit on any level, but wouldn't it be something if the Sabres, realizing they have as good a chance as anyone in the Eastern Conference to be playing for the Stanley Cup, stepped outside themselves to make a pitch.
Calgary? For the longest time, it looked as though the Flames were positioning themselves for a run at Kovalchuk, but sources in both Atlanta and Calgary say it simply is not happening.
Montreal? Minnesota? Colorado? Ottawa? Pittsburgh? St. Louis? The truth is we could guess all night.
The race is awfully difficult to handicap for all the reasons listed above, although if L.A. is prepared to alter its philosophy on trading roster players the Kings could be easily crowned leading candidate. But that's a big if. And every other scenario appears to have as many question marks as exclamation points.
It may be that Waddell has to alter his expectations along the way and take more in futures than he would like. Or maybe he's got a deal up his sleeve that is going to blow us all away. The sense seems to be that he will be sure to get more than he was able to get (Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, Angelo Esposito and a first-round pick) for Marian Hossa, when he was forced to go through a similar exercise two years ago.
It's going to be interesting.

The "Living W" above Weber State is illuminated with lights as a highlight to Homecoming week activities. The "W" Poor turnout Photo by Rodney Wright will be lit up every night this week, to involve Ogden in the annual Weber State festivities. Candidates debate at WSC by Kathy Kendell Gov't Affairs Editor Before a dismal crowd ot aDout 50 people, Ogden Mayor Stephen A. Dirks and incumbent Congressman James Hansen exchanged views on campaign issues. The debate was held Friday night in the Union Building Ballroom by the League of Women Voters in conjunction with the School of Social Sciences and the political science department. Dirks opened the debate by saying that he felt the two major issues were the Social Security system and unemployment. With regards to the Social Security, Dirks said there needs to be changes made to the system. "We need to change the system for generations to come who are relying on the government to help them out," said Dirks. He also indicted Hansen's record, saying the congressman voted in favor of minimum Social Security benefits. Dirks also hamnmered at the unemployment issue, saying the problem is more serious and far-reaching than his Republican counterpart will admit. Hansen however said the major issue in his mind was the economy which, he said, is improving. "We finally had to face the day of reckoning," said the Congressman. "We can't vote for everything we want any longer." Hansen cited an improving stock market and lowering interest rates to support his contention that the economy is improving. "We are now working on unemployment and that will begin improving," said Hansen. When questioned about a balanced budget amendment Dirks said such a solution "diverts interest away from the real problem. We must balance the budget sooner than an amendment would." His alternative was to pass a substitute amendment which would re-. quire the president to submit a balanced budget for approval by Congress. Hansen said he was absolutely in favor of such an amendment. Unemployment was an issue which received constant attention throughout the hour-long debate. At one point the action became heated when Dirks maintained that if unemployment were down to 4 or 5 there would be no budget deficit. Hansen argued that that was impossible and historically had never oc-cured. Dirks then said, "Add the figures yourself Congressman, it's really quite simple." Hansen contended throughout the debate that we as a nation were becoming healthier and stronger under the leadership of the Reagan administration. Hansen urged the voters to continue in that direction. Dirks stated it was the duty of the electorate to examine the record of each candidate. He said he was proud of his record as mayor. Dirks said he would rate his conscience first, his constituency second and party loyalty third if elected congressman. Vets eligible for grants by Bill Conlon Managing Editor A recent change in federal regulations will now allow eligible G.I. Bill veterans to draw Pell grants, with payment retroactive from fall quarter. Until this year, G.I. Bill payments were not counted as income when determining eligibility for Pell grants, allowing many veterans to draw them. A change was made, and only recently rescinded, which counted G.I. Bill benefits as income, disqualifying many vets. According to Ronald R. Smout, deputy director of Financial Aids, G.I. Bill veterans will receive two-thirds benefits from the Pell grants, affected by such variables as home ownership and outside income. In addition, the maximum benefits of those already drawing Pell grants may be increased, based on new schedules provided by the government. "Maybe 20 to 25 percent of stu dent recipients will be affected," Smout said. In reference to the retroactive payments, Smout said that awards will be made normally for winter quarter, but will include the award for fall quarter as well. He advised those who would have qualified for aid during fall quarter, but will not attend school in winter, to contact the Financial Aids office. Smout said it is not necessary to reapply, provided one has already submitted an application for fall quarter. "We will put the same eligibility numbers into the new schedule." he said. "This is an in-house adjustment, which we make automatically." "We are in the process of making the adjustments," Smout said, "and we are 50 to 75 percent completed. We ask that students refrain from calling so that we may make the changes as soon as possible." Smout added that the new Pell grant changes should not affect any other aids a student may be now receiving. Michelle Faletto new Homecoming Queen The Homecoming Queen and her Escort were crowned during last night's pep rally at the Dee Events Center. Chosen for the title of Queen was Michelle Faletto, a 19-year-old sophomore majoring in Pre-Law. Miss Faletto lists her hobbies as horses, snow skiing, hang gliding and activities within the Chi Omega sorority. She is single. Selected as first attendant was Stephanie DeGraw, 22, a junior majoring in Public Relations. Second attendant went to Kemper D. Anglin, 21, a Nursing major in her third year of school. The Queen's Escort will be Sheldon J. Allred, a 23-year-old freshman majoring in Education. Michelle Faletto File Photo Wilson's turn for convocation Ted Wilson, mayor of Salt Lake City and United States senatorial candidate, will speak Oct. 28 at Weber State College.The lecture will begin at noon in the WSC Browning Center for the Performing Arts Austad Auditorium. It is part of the fall convocation series and is sponsored by the Associated Students of WSC. Wilson graduated from the University of Utah in 1964 with a bachelor of science and received his master of education from the University of Washington in 1969. Prior to his election as mayor in 1976 and again in 1980, Wilson was the director of the Salt Lake County Department of Social Services. From 1973 to 1975 he also was an administrative assistant to Congressman Wayne Owens, (D-Utah). As mayor of Salt Lake, Wilson has overseen the expansion of the Salt Lake International Airport, directed the new council-mayor government and has brought new housing to downtown Salt Lake City. As a former member of the Salt Lake City Housing Authority, Wilson was instrumental in gaining the federal funding that made the 100 units of elderly housing at Phillips Plaza possible.

|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; 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.

5 Rocket Stocks to Buy This Week
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Could this be the bounce week that investors have been waiting for?
With the S&P 500 at support after correcting from a rally that's brought the big index as much as 17% higher this year, too many people are wondering whether this is really the end of the rally. Sentiment numbers don't help either. Investors are more bearish as a group than they've been anytime since the first quarter of 2009.
>>5 Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy to Beat the S&P
But earnings season is coinciding perfectly with the S&P's fall to trend line support -- and with analysts expecting pretty tepid performance from U.S. equities this quarter, any meaningful earnings surprise could help to fuel the next leg of this rally. Despite the excitement of earnings season's start last week, only nine S&P components delivered their numbers so far. So with 84 S&P names scheduled to turn over their numbers this week and another 164 component firms handing over their quarterly results next week, it's clear that the data is going to grow exponentially, starting now.That's why we're turning to a new set of Rocket Stock names this week. For the uninitiated, "Rocket Stocks" are our list of companies with short-term gain catalysts and longer-term growth potential. To find them, I run a weekly quantitative screen that seeks out stocks with a combination of analyst upgrades and positive earnings surprises to identify rising analyst expectations, a bullish signal for stocks in any market. After all, where analysts' expectations are increasing, institutional cash often follows. >>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts In the last 172 weeks, our weekly list of five plays has outperformed the S&P 500 by 77.07%. Without further ado, here's a look at this week's Rocket Stocks.

Bridal discount etiquette
Tactfully pointing out sales to the bride; plus, valuable weekend coupons.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Serving as a member of the bridal party on a friend's special day may be a priceless experience, but it's one that doesn't come cheap.
In 2009, the average bridesmaid spent $1,009, including her dress, airfare and bridal shower, bachelorette party and wedding gifts, according to The Wedding Report, a market researcher. (Last year was the first year the group collected data on bridesmaid costs.) By 2014, that average is expected to creep up 2%, to $1,029.
Balancing an attendant's budget is the responsibility of both that person and the bride and groom, says Alan Fields, author of "Bridal Bargains." As an attendant, you need to be clear about what you can afford at the time you're asked to participate. For their part, the engaged couple should keep the cost of items they aren't paying for in check. "Brides and grooms do have an obligation not to bankrupt their attendants," he says.
It's easier if the bride is a bargain hunter, too. My friend Liz, who is getting married in October, wanted to find nice dresses that were inexpensive enough that it wouldn't matter if we never wore them again. She scoured the Web and then had the three of us visit the same David's Bridal in Manhattan where she bought her dress, a move that entitled us to an extra $20 discount. Total cost of my perfectly fitted maid-of-honor dress: $125. (The Wedding Report says the average bridesmaid spent $178 on a dress, and another $56 on alterations. By that measure, I saved 47%.) "She's a model bride," says etiquette expert Peggy Post, director of The Emily Post Institute.
If you spot a sale, coupon or other budget solution the bride hasn't, feel free to gently point it out, Post says. It's also OK to speak up if the added costs have become overwhelming. "Couples get so excited planning a wedding, and it snowballs," she says. "Just say, 'I really have to watch my budget.'"
We're featuring valuable coupons and sales each Friday to help you spend less on the items you buy. Found a deal we missed -- or looking for a better price on a specific item? E-mail me at email@example.com or send me a tweet @kellibgrant.
When shopping, keep in mind that the sales you respond to and the coupons or codes you use let the retailer build a profile about your buying habits, which can influence -- for good or bad -- the future offers you receive.
Sears. Through April 24, save 30% on all Energy Star-qualified appliances. Sears also offers a sale of 10% off all other appliances. Be sure to check the status of your state rebate program since several states have already depleted their program allocations. Rebates vary by state. In New York, for example, residents can receive an extra $75 toward an Energy Star refrigerator, or $105 if they can provide proof of recycling for their old one. Georgia residents get $50 for an energy-efficient refrigerator. (It's also worth checking if the energy savings tally up to what's promised.)
Vera Bradley. Shoppers save up to 80% on sale items from this accessories designer, plus get another 20% discount once an item is placed in their cart. To push consumers to spend quickly, the site is offering the discounts only through April 25, and will charge for shipping. Rates start at $8 for orders of up to $50.99.
Ann Taylor Loft. Another limited-time offer (through April 25) comes from Ann Taylor Loft, which will take 30% off a shopper's bill for purchases made during the Friends & Family event. Bring a print-out coupon, or online, enter coupon code FRIENDS at checkout. Shipping is free only on orders of $100 or more.
FTD.com. Mother's Day is big business for florists, and to grow its window of opportunity, retailer FTD is offering deals to customers who buy now. A limited number of bouquets are 25% off through May 10. Customers can save another 20% at checkout if they pay with an American Express card (use coupon code 5657, expires Dec. 31) or Visa card (use code 18566, expires June 30). As with Valentine's Day roses, prices tend to increase as the holiday approaches.
Saks Fifth Avenue. Read the fine print on this offer. The list of excluded designer brands spans 12 lines. If yours makes the cut, you can save 20% (10% on beauty and fragrance) during the Friends & Family sale with a coupon. Online, use code FRIEND3 at checkout.

"If anything, the zombie releases of 2012 showed me just how limitless
the narrative potential is for the walking dead." – Paul Goat Allen
By the Blood of Heroes by Joseph Nassise was an undeniably cool fusion of WWI alternate history, zombie fiction, and steampunk; Paula Brandon's The Wanderers audaciously utilized zombies in a storyline that was predominantly aimed at fantasy and romance readers; and Stephen Blackmoore's impressive debut, City of the Lost, mixed crime fiction with zombie fiction to create a fascinating kind of zombie noir!
If anything, the zombie releases of 2012 showed me just how limitless the narrative potential is for the walking dead. I know so many mainstream fiction readers who utterly detest zombie fiction – although they have never read one zombie novel! There is an entrenched prejudice here that all zombie fiction novels will be like a George Romero gore fest – and that's just patently ridiculous. The titles below run the gamut from horror to mainstream fiction to fantasy romance to science fiction.
Just like the undead characters in these novels, zombie fiction is exceedingly hard to eradicate. Although it certainly has its detractors, zombie fiction will be around long after they have passed away. It's continuously evolving – and although some significant series ended this year (Littlefield's Aftertime, Grant's Newsflesh, Frater's As the World Dies, etc.), I'm hopeful that 2013 will bring exciting new zombie-powered storylines that will continue to reinvigorate and redefine the genre...
So, without further ado, here are my top zombie fiction releass of 2012!
Paul Goat Allen has been a full-time book reviewer specializing in genre fiction for the last two decades and has written thousands of reviews for companies like Publishers Weekly, The Chicago Tribune, Kirkus Reviews, and BarnesandNoble.com.

Once again, Paul, your "best of" lists have surprised me by pointing out a trend in my reading I hadn't noticed myself. Of the 13 books on your list, I have read and loved ## 3, 4, 5, and 8, and I have already purchased ## 6, 9, 10, and 13. I've added the remainder to my TBR list (which grows every time I read one of your posts ). Happy New Year!

STEVENS POINT, Wis, (WSAU) -- A Stevens Point man is lucky to be alive after his boat capsized in the Wisconsin River Friday morning.
Portage County Sheriff's Lieutenant Jim Pozniak says 64-year-old Lawrence Meixner was fishing near the Highway HH boat landing in the Town of Linwood West of Stevens Point.
Pozniak says neighbors downstream saw Meixner clinging to the boat and calling for help. "A husband and wife saw this guy clinging to a capsized boat going down the river, and she called 9-1-1, and he jumped into the neighbor's pontoon boat and went out and rescued the guy."
Meixner was taken to a waiting ambulance, and rushed to St. Michael's Hospital for treatment. "He was so cold, he could barely talk out at the scene, because that water is just above freezing, you know, the cold temperatures."
The couple that spotted the victim was Marilyn and Ron Flood. Pozniak says their quick action likely saved Meixner's life. "We had our boat out there along with the Fire Department, but by then, the neighbors had him out of the water already, which was really, really good."
Pozniak says the high current mixed with an anchor is a bad combination on the unpredictable river. "He was actually anchored, and he admits that he shouldn't have been anchored in that fast moving current, and that's what kind of tipped the boat over."
Lieutenant Pozniak does a lot of fishing when he's not on duty, and knows the river well. He said with the fishing opener this weekend, he would actually wait before going out on the water. "Stay home and wait for next weekend. It might be better because on the river right now, the water is extremely high and extremely cold, and you'll only last a few minutes in that water, so I would wait for better conditions."

by Carrie Adams
It started with an email. A friend sent me a recent Travlete article featuring a man, and accomplished athlete named Michael Mills. He was looking for training tips for the upcoming Georgia Spartan Race being held near his current home, Covington, GA. It's not uncommon for first time Spartans to seek out tips to tackle our courses. Known for their brutality and secrecy, we don't release course maps, any insight into how to prepare is something that our community is always looking for. His request, however, was unique because of how he'll be completing the course. Said Mills in the email, "I am looking for all pointers anyone can give, training and etc. I am actually going to crawl almost the entire 3 miles of the course. I will use my wheelchair some, but the majority of the time I will be crawling."
Mills is a T12 paraplegic, the victim of a head on collision with a drunk driver in 1993 and though he's been tackling wheelchair racing since 1996, competing in over 160 road and track races in the twelve years since, even representing the United States three separate times, he saw the Spartan Race series and realized it was the next challenge he wanted.
"I have the strength and the heart, just need a little advice." He assured Travlete.
Intrigued, I contacted Michael myself, the polite Southern man with Southern manners, who insisted on calling me Miss Carrie had completely won me over and I was willing to help in any way possible to help him not only get ready for the race, but to share his journey with our Spartan community. Not since the Chris Davis Project did I feel so compelled to share this story of toughness, of dedication, and of heart. Michael Mills has all three.
I've asked Michael to share weekly blogs about his training his preparation and his journey towards Conyers, GA 2013. Here is part one, how he found Sparta.
My name is Michael Mills and I'm a T12 paraplegic from Covington, GA. I'm 36 years old, married with an amazing wife named Tiffany Mills. We have two children Brandon, 11 and Katriana, four. We also are expecting our third child on or around 12/3/12. We are excited to welcome Michael Elijah to our family.
On 5/2/93 I was headed home from a typical day working from my best friend's house and was less than three miles away when I struck head-on by a drunk driver. The accident nearly cos me my life and left me with countless injuries. When the paramedics arrived, I was dead for 28 minutes. They pronounced me D.O.A.
My car had landed in a yard near the scene of the crash. The woman who lived in the home actually got into my car with me and tried to save my life before the paramedics arrived. After they pronounced me dead, she pleaded with them to, "Please try one time," to revive me.
The paramedics tried one time and as soon as they shocked me, I came back to life. My injuries were significant. I sustained a left eye socket fracture, left jaw fracture, left broken shoulder, all of my ribs sets broken on the left side, and almost all on the right. Both of my lungs were punctured, I sustained a compound fracture of the left femur and required countless stiches. My aorta was severed and my left ventricle was damaged to my heart. Because of the damage to my heart, I lost the majority of blood from my body.
Lastly, I was left paralyzed from the crash. The doctors told my parents if I made it through the surgery, I would be a vegetable for the rest of my life. I survived the surgeries but only time would tell. Two weeks later I came out of my coma and was for the first time since the accident alert and aware of what was going on. I had survived. I was still alive. I spent the rest of my summer in the hospital, I also turned 17.
I made it out of the hospital just in time to go back to school the same year. I was back in school just three months post-injury. I spent more time in the hospital later on in the year and the following year but still was able to graduate that next school year.
In 1996, I found wheelchair racing. I found racing by watching the 1996 Olympics. I was hooked. I went out bought a used racer and the rest was history. I started racing everywhere. I began to get better and faster. I started to compete all over the world. Here it is, 12 years later and I've raced over a 160 road and track races in my career. I've been world ranked and have had the opportunity to represent my country three times in my career and have loved the opportunities to do so. I just recently finished my 2012 with one of the best seasons ever.
A few months ago, I came across a photo of man dawning full military gear and saw him with only one arm. It was Todd Love from Team X-T.R.E.M.E. He was crawling through mud and when I Iooked a little deeper I found Spartan racing.
I thought to myself, "I can do this. I want to do this. I need to do this. I'm going to do this."
I immediately signed up without hesitation. I decided I was going to do this Spartan Race. I posted up on Facebook I was going to do it and I had a few friends say they'd do it with me. I had some people say it couldn't be done and that fueled me even more. So, I set out to prove everyone wrong that didn't believe in me. I want to prove that there was no such thing as a disability. I wanted to prove that a disability is simply a mindset. You can do anything once you set your mind to it and I know that.
I wanted to raise awareness for a local charity called Berts Big Adventure. BBA is a non-profit who takes chronically and terminally ill children to Disney World so they can be kids for one week. They treat the parents too. This was a big deal for me, because without support from the people in my home town of Smithville, MS my family and I wouldn't have made it. Everyone pulled through to help us and that's why I want to help BBA.
I've decided to do my first ever Spartan race crawling on my hands and knees for a better part of 3.1 miles. So I train six days a week and sometimes three times a day to get ready for my event on 3/9/13.
Want to stay tuned in to Michael's journey? He'll be regularly posting his story and training on our blog in a series we'll be calling "Chasing Michael Mills." Follow his facebook page.
