Chicken Spinach & Mushroom Skillet
Mushrooms and spinach are such a delightful pair. When I saw this chicken and spinach dish from Jenny it immediately made it on our menu.
We absolutely loved this dish -- and we can't wait to make it this summer when we can break out the grill and grill the chicken!!
Chicken Spinach and Mushroom Skillet - Adapted from Love Being in My Southern Kitchen
4 chicken breasts
Montreal Chicken/Steak seasoning
3 C fresh spinach, washed and trimmed
16 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1-2 tsp. olive oil
Shredded cheese (we used Mozzarella, Provolone, Asiago and Parm mix)
Begin by sprinkling the seasoning over the chicken. We used about 1 T.
Place the chicken into a skillet coated with olive oil. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, 7 minutes/side, until chicken is close to 180 degrees. Alternatively, grill the chicken breasts.
When the chicken is almost done, add the mushrooms to the skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Then, add in the spinach.
Cook these veggies until the liquids from the mushrooms evaporates and the chicken reaches 180 degrees.
Remove the dish from the heat, sprinkle the chicken breasts with cheese. Cover and allow the cheese to melt.
Serve warm with brown rice and steamed veggies.

Driven: Radical SR1
A debutante's taste of downforce aboard Radical's new 'back to basics' SR1 racer
Perhaps Radical was listening, because for 2013 the Cambridgeshire-based manufacturer is launching a new championship, aimed entirely at novices, and a new car to go with it. The entire season package, including, five championship events, two pre-season training sessions and the SR1 itself, costs £37,500 (£45,000 with VAT); not an inconsiderable sum of money, but one that, judging by pre-launch interest, provides good value to those with deep enough pockets.
"The aim with the SR1 Cup was to knock down all the barriers that hold people back from going racing," explains former Evo contributor and now Radical marketing manager Roger Green. "The championship had to be very cost-effective, it had to remove all the hassle of gaining a licence and understanding how to race, and put drivers on the grid only with others of a similar experience level. Above all though, it had to deliver in terms of drivability and fun."
Step by step
Competitors are introduced to their cars through a pair of exclusive track days. There will be instructors on hand at both of these events along with the opportunity to practice standing starts. After these familiarity sessions the competition begins, firstly with a 'How Fast' time trial, then eight competitive races held at Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Oulton Park and Cadwell Park. Beyond the opening season, a separate class in the Radical Cup and the chance to make mechanical and aerodynamic upgrades ensure longevity for the cars and the drivers.
To provide an insight into what competing in the championship will be like, and an opportunity to drive the new car, Radical invited Pistonheads to Bedford Autodrome for one of MSV's 'How Fast' events. During the day, we would compete for the fastest lap time against other journalists on the West Circuit.
In isolation the SR1 looks incredibly focused and not a little intimidating, with bodywork barely above knee height, a front splitter extending usefully in front of the nose and a single plane rear wing dominating the rear end.
It's only when I look across to the SR8 parked in the garage that the extent of Radical's de-tuning begins to reveal itself; no winglets or rear diffuser, smaller front splitter and wing, narrower body (it's based on the old SR4) and treaded Dunlop road tyres designed to last the entire season.
Beneath the engine cover it's a similar story with the 1,340cc Suzuki Hayabusa engine turning out 185hp. Although, with only 480kg minus driver to push round, it's plenty quick enough and will hit 60mph in 3.6 seconds and 100mph in less than ten.
In sequence
I've never driven a car with a sequential gearbox, or downforce, before so it comes as a great relief that for the first few laps I'll be shoe-horned into the passenger seat alongside none-other than Le Mans winner, Andy Wallace. The cockpit, quite rightly, prioritises the driver, leaving me wedged against the bodywork and my head slapping against the rollover brace.
It's Andy's first time in an SR1 – although he's driven plenty of other Radicals – but he quickly tunes into the controls, feeling for the grip levels and familiarising himself with the circuit layout with small, well-defined inputs that are lightning quick but never unsettling.
All too soon it's my turn and I'm sliding into the glossy, moulded seat. Inside the tub the carbon fibre dash is dominated by a digital display. There's a pocket-sized alcantara steering wheel and a long aluminium-capped gear lever that sits right alongside your left hand when it's at the quarter to three position.
Equally well-placed are the pedals, with the clutch requiring a surprisingly light and progressive touch. In fact, all three possess a similar weight to their action and a purposeful lack of travel. The SR1 has a high idle but remains smooth and shudder-free at rest. There is none of the straining at the leash that I'd anticipated, and while the throttle is light and engine incredibly free-revving, pulling away is utterly benign.
Getting moving might be easy, but it still takes me a handful of laps to tune into the controls; to iron out the lurching, soothe the throttle blips and lift my right foot just enough to facilitate the clutchless upshifts. It's here that I stumble the most, lifting my foot completely from the pedal. Andy spots my mistake and puts my technique right; just small degree of pressure on the lever and a slight lift of the foot will allow the ratio to change.
So, How Fast?
The 20 minutes free practice is gone in an instant, at which point I can operate the controls with reasonable competence and just about know which way the circuit goes. But as far as putting a lap time together, well that's a big step. And knowing that the SR1's aerodynamic advantage will need to be explored in order to get a quick lap turns that big step into a giant leap of faith.
During my out-lap familiarity lets me begin to feel my way round the mechanical grip available. In this respect I'm helped by the excellent communication through both the wheel and the chassis. Under braking there is complete clarity as to the movement of the rear, and a beautifully soft and rounded edge to the limit. The engine is buzzing through the rev range and I'm a bit slow to catch the flicker of LEDs on the dash before it hits the limiter. I'm using fewer revs blipping on downshifts, braking harder and later and carrying more speed around the slower corners, but I'm still pottering, relatively, around the faster ones. Only on the final corner of my last lap do I carry enough speed to feel the car squatting and the contact patch of the outside tyres growing. It's my first taste of downforce and I instantly realise it's a corner I could probably have taken flat.
The results are soon in, and it's a steady middle-of-road performance from me. My 1:23 putting me fifth out of 12, some three seconds off the pace of Track Driver's John Mawdsley. So no champagne shower, but I do go home with a massive grin on my face and a deep jealousy for the 24 lucky individuals that will be racing in the SR1 Cup next year.
Radical SR1
Engine: 1,340cc, four-cylinder
Transmission: 6-speed sequential manual, rear-wheel drive
Power (hp):185@9,200rpm
Torque (lb ft):130@7000rpm
0-62mph: 3.6 sec (0-60)
Top speed: 138mph
Weight: 480kg
Price: £45,000 (Championship package inc VAT)
Danny's onboard video here:
Our fastest guy did a 1.20.5, I managed a 1.22.63.
So pretty much a perfect match between the JP-LM and the SR1.
(I figure the added weight of an instructor in the JP-LM is probably cancelled out by the confidence to go even faster that they inspire!)

Jung Joon Young's Drug Eating place Responds To Suspicions Of Plagiarism
Jung Joon Youngs Drug Eating place Responds To Suspicions Of Plagiarismchoralee July 28, 2016 0 Singer Jung Joon Youngs band Drug Restaurant latelyreplied to accusations of plagiarism surrounding their song Mistake.
Drug Restaurant recently released their song Mistake on Might 27, which used to be accused of plagiarizing Two Door Cinema Clubs Sooner or later for its identical sound. Netizens have remarked that the intro of the 2 songs does sound similar, yet others noted that Drug Restaurant took the guitar riff from Two Door Cinema Clubs Sometime and What You Know and incorporated it into Mistake.
The overall making plans and vision of the song become done via member Jo Dae Min, who in point of fact respects Two Door Cinema Club, so the sound does have their influence, but it isn't plagiarism, explained the band.
On July 28, Two Door Cinema posted a message on their respectable twitter stating, Greatto look weve encouraged someone, and connected Drug Restaurants song to their post.

Setting the Standard for plain cigarette packaging
Become a Cancer Campaigns Ambassador
In March 2015, MPs voted in favour of plain, standard cigarette packs by 367 to 113, which will help prevent young people from taking up smoking and ultimately save lives. This was huge victory for public health – and a big step as we move towards our goal of a tobacco-free generation.
Standard packs will arrive on shelves from Friday 20 May. Join our Thunderclap and tweet your MP to help us celebrate!
The campaign was achieved working in partnership with Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) and other organisations.
See how the packets have changed by using the slider above!
Why we campaigned
With other forms of advertising closed to them, tobacco companies have invested a fortune in innovative packaging, creating 'mobile billboards' that appeal to young people. Two-thirds of smokers start before the age of 18, the beginning of an addiction which will kill up to 2 in 3 long-term smokers.
Our evidence shows that removing all branding and design from the packs makes cigarettes less attractive to both adults and children, increasing the prominence of health warnings on packs.
Plain, standardised packaging means all cigarette and hand-rolling tobacco packaging will look the same. They will be packaged in a standard shape without existing marketing and design features:
- Picture health warnings will remain
- Brand names will be in standard type face, colour and size
- The shape and colour of the packs – as well as the design of the actual cigarettes - will be standardised
- The 'duty paid' stamp will remain with covert markings that show the pack is not counterfeit
- Cigarette packs will also be standardised in size and colour
Standard packs are also wanted by the general public. 85% of all mothers and grandmothers with children under 18 years old believe children should not be exposed to any tobacco marketing (YouGov, 2013), and in January 2015 figures released by Cancer Research UK showed nearly three quarters (72 per cent) of voters across the political spectrum (Conservative,75%; Labour, 75%; Lib Dem, 80%; UKIP, 64%) support standard packs, with only 15 per cent opposed (YouGov, 2015).
How we made it happen
We launched the campaign in 2012 with a shocking video showing why we need to protect children from tobacco marketing.
Over the next three years, around 90,000 of our amazing supporters took action on this campaign – from signing petitions and emailing their MPs, to visiting Parliament. In total, over 200,000 people responded to the initial 2012 Government consultation in the UK.
The move also had the backing of a coalition of over 250 health and wellbeing organisations, the Chief Medical Officer and the World Health Organisation.
What we achieved
The legislation was also voted through by the House of Lords on Monday 16 March 2015.
On Friday 20 May standard packs will start to arrive on shelves!

The MLB season officially started Sunday with the Atlanta Braves beating up on the World Series champion, the Philadelphia Phillies.
Derek Lowe pitched eight strong innings, giving up only two hits, but it was a rookie who stole the show.
Jordan Schafer, the Braves centerfielder, went two for three with a run, an RBI and home run in his first major league at bat. Look out for Schafer in deeper leagues where he could have some value this year.
The real action, though, began Monday when there were 13 games scheduled.
There were a few good performances Monday that didn't go unnoticed in the fantasy community.
I'll start off in Florida, where the Marlins put a hurting on the still woeful Washington Nationals.
Hanley Ramirez owners were rejoicing about his two-run, home run, and five RBI game.
I believe Ramirez is going to set a personal best in the RBI department this year with no less than 90 RBI by the time October rolls around.
Another Marlin, Emilo Bonifacio, also had a spectacular game Monday.
Bonifacio went four for five with two RBI, four runs and an incredible inside the park home run. The home run was the first inside the park home run on opening day since 1968, when Carly Yastrzemski did it.
The Marlins new lead-off man also added three stolen bases.
Soon after Bonifacio's performance Monday, his ownership in Yahoo leagues jumped from five to 17 percent.
If you've got some space on your bench, I recommend taking a good look at Bonifacio, but I also recommend just looking and not just jumping on the bandwagon after one good game.
Give him a few games to really show you what he's got.
Tony Clark and Felipe Lopez of the Arizona Diamondbacks combined for four home runs in Arizona's 9-8 win against the Colorado Rockies.
It wasn't even the fact Clark and Lopez hit two home runs each - it was the fact that they each did it from both sides of the plate.
This time of year, it's very easy to go out and snag a player or two off the waiver wire based on one or two good games.
I suggest showing some patience before running out to grab the latest "It" player off the waivers.
Give your current players a chance to prove themselves for at least a week or two before dumping them for a hot upstart. Only in deeper leagues, or in cases where your bench is a little thin, would I suggest picking up someone off the waivers this early.
Next week, I will highlight the players I believe are worth a look on the waiver wire and, if necessary, recommend players to add to your roster.
Good luck with your teams this week.

The 1975 Topps baseball set was produced in two different formats. The original set contained 660 cards in a standard-size while a second "Mini-set" was issued that was 20% smaller. The 1975 Mini was a test issue that was released primarily in Michigan and on the Pacific coast. It was a smashing success.
The four-in-one rookie cards of the '75 set contained some major stars-to-be, including Jim Rice, Gary Carter and Fred Lynn. The first 132 cards of the set were printed in smaller quantities than the rest of the set.
In 1976 Topps issued another 660-card set in the standard 2½" by 3½" design. They also returned to the Topps Traded issues, releasing 44 cards of players who were traded after the printing deadline for the regular set. There were also prototypes made of cloth stickers in four different materials, including silk, thin felt, textured felt and thick felt.
Once again the number was 660 as Topps issued its 1977 baseball set. Cards included the Batting Leaders (George Brett and Bill Madlock), Strikeout Leaders (Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver) and Home Run leaders (Graig Nettles and Mike Schmidt). The Rookie Outfielders card #473 contains four hopefuls, with Andre Dawson leading the way. Key cards include #580 George Brett and #650 Nolan Ryan.
Other 1977 issues were the Topps Cloth Stickers and puzzle cards. The 1977 Dale Murphy rookie card (as a catcher!) was reissued in aluminum (!) in 1984 as a fund raiser for medical research.
The 1978 Topps baseball set ballooned to 726 cards, the largest issue since 1972. The cards featured a baseball problem (situation, play) on the reverse that made a baseball game possible. The 2½" by 3½" cards included the Eddie Murray rookie card and Rookie Shortstops #707 featuring Paul Molitor. There was also a Topps Team/Checklist Uncut Sheet that was available on a mail-in redemption.
The decade of the 1970s was rounded out by the 1979 Topps baseball set of 726 cards, the same size as 1978. The set includes the rookie card of Ozzie Smith (#116) and a series of 26 "Prospects" cards, featuring some of the top rookies from each team. Topps also issued a test-market release called 1979 Topps Comics, with 33 players on wax wrappers for bubble gum.

Unfortunately, my dog spends a great chunk of his day in his crate while I'm away at work. This treat ball offers a challenge for his mind and rewards him for his hard work with a treat. This provides hours of entertainment and seems to keep him content while I'm away! What a great idea!
Lab/golden service dog. Loves to chew and gnaw. The starmark products are the only ones he hasn't torn or destroyed. Even the Black Kong he was able to chew up. However he does quickly learn how to get the treats out. 1st time it was days, then it became an hour. I am trying to find a way to get the treat to stick inside better.

Saturday night's transgender fashion show in Falls Church was full of sparkles, silk and a little bit of skin.
The event was hosted by NOVASalud, a group that tries to fight the stigma surrounding AIDS, as well as promote prevention education. The event was aimed at crushing social stereotypes.
"The transgendered community has encountered a lot of discrimination in the community and we thought an event like this would help the community understand the transgendered community and help to dispel some of the stigma and discrimination they face," says Ellin Kao, the program director for NOVASalud.
Former Navy SEAL Kristin Beck served as the mistress of ceremonies. She has received a lot of attention lately after making the public decision to become a woman.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Chris Matthews Grills Tea Party Leader: Why Would Someone Bring A Gun To A Political Rally?
Matthews got a bit worked up when Phillips asserted that leaders have town hall meetings all the time and "nothing ever happens to them." Matthews began to list a number of leaders who have been shot and killed, like Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and others who have been the targets of assassination attempts, like Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, and Harry Truman.
There's "a history of violence in this country. I don't know how you haven't noticed it," Matthews said. He later asked: "Are you concerned that people bring guns to political rallies. Yes or no." Phillips replied that he's not, and Matthews followed up: "Why would a person bring a gun to a political rally?"
"Because they have the right to," Phillips said, adding: "You'd carry a gun for safety. Just like you do for any other thing."
"They bring it to make a statement against the political people in this country they don't like and they use it as a threat," Matthews shot back, then asked: "Do you think it would be better off if people didn't bring guns to political events?"
"I would rather people not carry guns in occasions where you might get tempers flaring. I think that's probably prudent. But as far as just a general political rally, I don't have a problem with it," Phillips replied.

Comment Re:But what if I liked the application (Score 1) 509
Actually the iPhone has the exact same "kill switch" for the exact same purpose.
Indeed it does. The amusing thing about this situation is that Apple has never used it - even for apps that are no longer offered and that violate both Apple's and AT&T's terms of service (NetShare, e.g.). I got a kick out of the GGP's "nuking an applications without asking first is what Steve Jobs does and that Google is not supposed to do," for precisely that reason. Nuking an app from orbit is what people in the Slashdot community expect from Steve Jobs, and yet it is Google that does it first, on the darling platform of those who view the iPhone and its walled garden as "evil".
Sure, I'm not trying to defend Google here. But there is a difference between malicious apps and apps that violate the terms of service. I don't think Google has wiped any apps of off user's devices when they were removed from the market. (Such as the tetris clones that were recently removed from the market).

But since it's such a daunting task, he's approaching the problem one step at a time—literally—starting with a set of self-balancing legs that he's able to pilot around his workshop. It's an impressive accomplishment, it's just too bad Hajime, or his talented engineers, haven't quite got the hang of capturing videos on their smartphones. We've commented against using your mobile device to capture videos in portrait mode before, but in this instance, it would actually be a welcome alternative to having to crane your neck to watch this giant bot in action.

The Daily Muck
Despite negative publicity Swiss bank Julius Baer is continuing its lawsuit against Wikileaks.org to have documents removed from the website. A hearing has been set for Friday, but so far Wikileaks "has not shown up in court nor has it responded to court orders for legal filings stating its position." (AP)
Colonel Morris Davis, former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay, says he plans to testify as a defense witness in the trial of Osama bin Laden's driver, Salid Ahmed Hamdan. Davis who has spoken out against what he sees as "political interference" with the military tribunal system, says that he is "satisfied that there is a strong case against Mr. Hamdan" but that "the process should be fair." (ABC News)
Mark Rey, a former timber industry lobbyist and the Bush administration official who oversees the Forest Service for the Department of Agriculture, apologized to a federal judge for his agency's slow preparation of environmental studies on the impact of chemical firefighting. Judge Donald Molloy was not impressed by Rey's apology but nonetheless decided not to hold Rey in contempt and sentence him to jail. In 2005, Molloy ruled that Rey's agency violated the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. (AP)
An investigation into the Marine Corps' delay in deploying bast-resistant vehicles to soldiers in Iraq will also probe whether the Marines were negligent in not equipping soldiers with Compact High Power Laser Dazzlers more quickly. The laser, which "emits a stream of light that temporarily impairs a driver's vision" and is used to "divert drivers and people from checkpoints and convoys" and its "delays of nearly 18 months may have led to an untold number of Iraqi civilian casualties when U.S. troops mistook" a less capable laser "for the enemy and fired." (AP)
The State Department is conducting a "top-to-bottom" review of the construction of the new U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. The project has been plagued by delays and other problems, and while the former official in charge of construction declared the embassy "substantially completed" the current "construction chief has rejected his predecessor's certification." (McClatchy)
Both Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee are concerned about the impact of recent court rulings on whistle-blowers. Lawmakers believe that the federal whistle-blower law - the False Claims Act - needs to be expanded so that fewer legitimate cases are dismissed for technicalities. The law, which has allowed the U.S. government to recover more than $20 billion since 1986, has not been amended since that year. (New York Times)
The web site LegiStorm has posted financial disclosure records online that detail (sub. req.) links "between Senate aides and their bossesâ re-election efforts" along with the "often close personal relationships between staff and lobbyists." (Roll Call)
We will be learning a lot more about Detroit Mayor Kwame M. Kilpatrick's extramarital affair and the efforts of the mayor and city lawyers to cover it up. A Michigan Supreme Court voted unanimously yesterday to reject the city's appeal to keep the cover-up documents private. The release of a 196-page transcript shows that the mayor settled a $8.4 million whistle-blower lawsuit from a police officer just hours after he learned that the plaintiff's lawyer intended to expose text messages documenting Kilpatrick's affair.

David Walker, who will soon be resigning as the head of the Government Accountability Office where he has served since 1998, believes that âWashington is badly broken."

Penguins-Ducks In-Game Blog
by Tony Jovenitti / Pittsburgh PenguinsFINAL SCORE: Ducks 3, Penguins 2.
0:00: It looked like nothing could stop the Penguins from coming back. But Hiller stood tall and the Penguins just couldn't find that tying goal, and the Penguins fall 3-2. That's the first time the Ducks beat the Penguins in regulation since the 2003-04 season.
1:09: The Penguins pulled Fleury.
2:38: Comrie had another great chance, but couldn't get around Hiller. It looks like we're in for an exciting finish.
4:50: Fleury just had a great save on Koivu! The Penguins were in the middle of a long shift, and Koivu made a nice move around the tired Penguins defense. He took a shot from the left side of the net, but Fleury slid into position just in time and made the save with his pads.
6:23: Dupuis just had a great chance. The puck bounced off Fowler's skate and went right to Dupuis' stick. He ripped a wrister at Hiller, but it bounced off the pads. The Penguins are pouring everything they have on the Ducks. The clock is the Penguins' enemy right now.
8:09: Kunitz leaves the box and the Penguins are back to full strength.
8:48: The Ducks will have a brief power play as Selanne's penalty expired.
9:36: Visnovsky took a sneaky shot at Fleury as he was entering the zone. The puck bounced off Fleury and he swatted it with his stick to clear it out of the air.
10:09: Kunitz hit Koivu in the corner, and was called for cross-checking. A scrum ensued in the corner, and Letang and Corey Perry started jabbing at each other. There will be 4-on-4 hockey for 1:16.
10:53: The Penguins will have a chance on the power play to tie this game up. Selanne hooked up Goligoski as he was making his way out of the defensive zone.
12:50: Bobby Ryan just checked Kennedy into the bench, who hit the divider and went down hard.
Some shirts in honor of Washington, Pa. native George Parros.
13:23: The Penguins almost tied it right there. After a Penguins shot, Matt Cooke found the rebound to the right of Hiller. He blasted a shot, but Hiller made the save and covered the puck.
15:16: The Penguins are keeping the pressure on the Ducks, as they got a few more shots on Hiller. There are a ton of Penguins fans in Anaheim and they are getting loud after that Crosby goal.
16:12: Crosby got his second goal of the night! He made a nice pass to a breaking Kris Letang, who shot the puck from the right point. The rebound found Crosby's stick, who shot it back at Hiller. The puck trickled through Hiller's five hole. Ducks 3, Penguins 2.
18:40: Arron Asham took a nice shot off the faceoff from the right circle, but the puck went just wide.
19:42: It sounds like the crowd in the Honda Center is full of Penguins fans chanting "Let's Go Pens" to start the period.
20:00: The Penguins need two more goals to tie this game. So let's hope they can keep up their energy and some of those hit-posts should turn into goals.
-The Penguins revamped power play looks effective tonight. They took some nice shots and they used the man-advantage to get back in the game near the end of the period.
-The Penguins are leading in faceoff percentage, with 52 percent.
-Dupuis and Malkin lead the Penguins with three shots each.
0:00: Hiller just absolutely STONED Malkin. Crosby made a great play off the faceoff by jumping forward and dishing the puck to a wide-open Malkin on the left side. Malkin took a nice shot, but Hiller somehow made the save. That's the end of the second frame, and the Penguins are leading the Ducks in shots, 20-15.
2:11: Dupuis almost got another for the Penguins, but Hiller wasn't phased by Crosby's goal and made another point-blank save.
2:33: Sidney Crosby just got his first goal against the Ducks! Kris Letang ripped a shot toward the net from the left circle and Crosby tipped it over Hiller's pad to put the Penguins on the board. With the way the Penguins are playing tonight, a comeback is certainly not out of the question. Ducks 3, Penguins 1
3:54: Evgeni Malkin made a nice move around Selanne and should have had a breakaway, but Selanne held him up as he went after the puck. That's a holding penalty on Selanne. The Penguins will have a chance on the power play to get back in this game before the second intermission.
4:55: Paul Martin had another nice chance for the Penguins, but the story of the night is Hiller keeping the Penguins off the board.
5:34: Saku Koivu put the Ducks up by three. Selanne dished it to Koivu coming down the slot. He took a slapper and Fleury made a great save, but got knocked down and the puck trickled out in front of hte crease. Goligoski dove into the crease, but was unable to keep Koivu from poking it into the open net. Ducks 3, Penguins 0
7:38: The Ducks got another one from behind the net. Corey Perry made a great pass from behind Fleury right to Getzlaf's stick, who shot the puck top-shelf past Fleury. Ducks 2, Penguins 0
9:09: The Penguins are still creating great chances, but Hiller is standing on his head. Comrie found the puck after a scramble in the crease and took a point-blank slapshot, but Hiller stoned him.
11:15: Ryan Carter almost put the Ducks up by two. He got a breakaway and had a clean shot on Fleury. He made a nice move and forced an open net, but he lost the puck when he tried to shift to his backhand.
12:25: The Ducks get on the board first. Zbynek Michalek and several other Penguins made some great blocks, but each time, the puck bounced back to an Anaheim player's stick. Bobby Ryan found a rebound off of Dupuis' stick and ripped it behind Fleury from the center point. Ducks 1, Penguins 0
14:04: Fleury made another INCREDIBLE save on Selanne. Jason Blake took the puck around the net and fed it through the crease to Selanne, who tried to put it top shelf. But Fleury absolutely robbed him.
14:30: The Penguins are getting some great chances, as they are controlling play in the offensive zone. Off a faceoff, Crosby fed a pass to Kunitz. The former Duck ripped a shot on Hiller, but it bounced off the goaltender's pads.
16:01: Fleury just made an amazing save on Teemu Selanne. The 40-year-old showed incredible speed coming down the left wing and got ahead of the Penguins defenders. But Fleury stopped his breakaway shot, and then he stuffed Josh Green on the rebound.
17:18: Mike Comrie almost put the Penguins on the board near the end of the power play. Mark Letestu took a shot from the right side of Hiller and Comrie had an open net, but he couldn't quite control the puck and Hiller made the save.
18:31: Malkin just generated a nice chance. He came flying down the right wing and centered the puck, but it was just behind Kunitz - who went crashing into the net.
19:04: The Ducks took a too many men on the ice penalty. The Penguins will go back on the power play.
20:00: Both teams had some great chances in the first period, but Fleury and Hiller stood tall. Let's hope the Penguins can break through and get the first goal here in the second.
-To prove that this game is already intense, the Penguins have dished out 17 hits while the Ducks have 14.
-Deryk Engelland and Brooks Orpik lead the Penguins with three hits each.
-Alex Goligoski leads both teams with 2 blocks.
-Sidney Crosby won four of his five faceoffs (80 percent).
Penguins fan and Hodgkin's Disease survivor Eric Naughton is in the stands. After winning his battle against cancer, he vowed to learn to play hockey. He is in Southern California filming a documentary, "Life, Cancer and the Pursuit of Hockey." The Penguins were inspired by his story and invited him to attend Fantasy Camp in February.
0:00: With time winding down, Michalek carried the puck around the left circle and dished it to Orpik in front of the net, but again, a scramble in front of the net ended with the puck shooting out into the corner. That's the end of the first period. This game is scoreless, and the Ducks lead the Penguins 7-5 in shots.
0:58: After another scramble in front of Fleury, Malkin and Crosby led a rush into the offensive zone, but Crosby's shot was quickly covered by Hiller.
2:30: Ryan's penalty expires. After the penalty Orpik sniped a shot from the point and it clanged off the post. This game is already a thriller, but it remains scoreless.
4:55: Bobby Ryan took a roughing penalty, and the Penguins will go on the power play.
4:55: Lubomir Visnovsky gave up the puck to Dupuis, who took a nice slapper from the left circle, but Hiller made the save and froze the puck.
5:41: Letang took a shot from the top of the right circle, but the puck rang off the post.
6:35: The Penguins had another 2-on-1. Malkin was breaking down the left wing, and he had Kennedy on the right. Malkin made a nice move around the defender, but he couldn't quite bury it.
7:32: The Penguins had their own breakaway. Kunitz and Goligoski had a 2-on-1, but Kunitz's pass jumped over Goligoski's stick - who was right in front of Hiller.
8:13: Kyle Palmieri just had a mini-breakaway. But Martin kept him to the outside and Fleury was able to make a nice poke-check.
8:44: Mark Letestu just had a nice chance in the offensive zone. He made a move around the laid-out defender, but he couldn't find an open man. It led to a 4-on-2 for the Ducks, but Paul Martin made a nice play to keep the Ducks from registering a shot.
11:25: Fleury made a few nice saves there. Fowler ripped a shot from the right point and Flower made the stop. Later in the Ducks power-play, Fleury once again kicked the puck out to safety after a scramble in the crease.
12:30: Craig Adams almost scored a shorthanded goal. The Penguins did a nice job of keeping the puck away from the Ducks and Adams found it right in front of Hiller, but he wasn't able to put it in the net.
13:08: Zbynek Michalek hit Corey Perry behind Fleury and was called for boarding. The Penguins will go on the penalty kill. After the play, Crosby and Getzlaf were still going at it.
14:01: Sidney Crosby and Ryan Getzlaf got into a scuffle behind Hiller, and the two former team Canada teammates were jabbing at each other the whole way to the bench.
17:??: FSN's clock isn't working, but Fleury made his first nice save of the game. There was a scramble in the crease, but Fleury poked the puck away.
18:18: Off the faceoff, Deryk Engelland challenged Washington, Pa. native George Parros. The two dropped the gloves, but Engelland lost his footing and the fight was over quickly.
19:30: Pascal Dupuis almost gave the Penguins an early lead. Sidney Crosby dumped the puck into the offensive zone and it bounced right in front of Hiller, but Dupuis' swing missed the puck. It's a special night for Dupuis, he is playing in his 600th game.
20:00 Let's hope the Penguins can bounce back and get a win.
10:07 PM: Jonas Hiller is in goal for the Ducks.
10:04 PM: Anaheim's Teemu Selanne is playing in his 1,200 game tonight.
10:01 PM: There was a minor earthquake in Orange County this morning, a 3.7 magnitute quake briefly shook the area. But Dan Bylsma - who spent time playing in Anaheim and Los Angeles - told FSN's Dan Potash - who grew up in Beverly Hills - that "it was nothing."
10:00 PM: Greetings from my living room. Those of us in Pittsburgh are freezing and staying up late to watch the Penguins take on the Anaheim Ducks, while Jason Seidling is enjoying the warm weather and Penguins hockey in Southern California (He had quite the adventure yesterday).
The Penguins are looking to bounce back from a 5-2 loss at Dallas on Wednesday. Pascal Dupuis is back with the team after his wife gave birth to the couple's fourth child, Lola.
With Dupuis back in the lineup, here are the Penguins lines for tonight:
Marc-Andre Fleury is in net.

By The Associated Press
BRANDON, Miss. (AP) — Jack Brooks Lacy Jr., who as an assistant U.S. attorney led the first federal murder prosecution in a civil rights-era killing, is dead. He was 69.
Ott & Lee Funeral Home in Brandon says funeral plans are incomplete.
Rankin County Coroner Jimmy Roberts says Lacy died Friday of a single bullet to the head. He says he won't have the autopsy report until Monday, but he suspects suicide.
Lacy was known for his work in the 2003 conviction of former Klansman Ernest Avants for aiding and abetting the 1966 murder of black sharecropper Ben Chester White on federal property. Prosecutors said White was killed to lure Martin Luther King Jr. to Mississippi for assassination.
After his federal work, Lacy became the state prosecutor for the Mississippi Band of Choctaws.

You can thank my husband Rory for this article. I was gone from the house for a couple days last week for work and when I returned home, Rory reported that he'd seen a Gulf shrimp sale at the market. "They're the big, tasty ones you like. They're $12.99 a pound till Sunday," he added. I was sold. We don't eat as much shrimp as we used to because they're not as good as they used to be, may not be responsibly procured, and the delicious ones are relatively expensive.
As a result, we consume fewer of them, which in the scheme of things, is a good thing. To my best ability, I try to choose sustainable shrimp. I also avoid easy-peel shrimp that are pre-deveined because the flavor is flabby. Shrimp is now a special event kind of food for us so I like to savor them in simple shrimp dishes like this one.

Progress or not?
A couple of weeks ago I posted about my very green 8 year old gelding that I'm currently working with. He's only been gelded for about a year. I've had him for 2 months and he's gone from knowing only to lead by a halter to lunging in both directions, following verbal commands to walk, trot, and lope, he flexes in both directions with me standing by his side, he lowers his head at my touch, and he's now accepting a blanket and a french link snaffle. We've made tons of progress there considering he knew absolutely nothing before. The biggest hangup he has is accepting tightness around the barrel. He had a buckfest a few weeks ago when I placed a saddle on him and barely cinched it. He got the saddle off which was my mistake. He'll accept the saddle, he just won't take the cinch. Since then I've moved my horses to another location and have access to a nice portable panel round pen. Today I introduced him to just a surcingle so I won't ruin my saddle when he has his "moments". I just want him to get used to the pressure right now. I actually got the surcingle buckled and was even able to lead him around a few times with it. Then all of a sudden he realized it wasn't falling off and he snapped. He went round and round bucking again. I just got out and watched. In the mean time, he lost his balance from the bucking and laid down sideways into a panel. Of course he took the two it was attached to on either side with it. He weighs 1100 lbs. He wasn't hurt, stood back up and commenced to bucking until he finally stopped. I was actually able to grab him, talk to him, and then I unbuckled the surcingle. That was enough for me today. So would y'all call that any sort of progress? I'd like to think that because he stopped and let me unbuckle it, it was something. I wanted to let him go again, but the bent panels worried me. I didn't need him bucking into those and breaking a leg. So anyway, I out about $200 in panels now, which I didn't really need, but otherwise, I think I'm just going to try again for round two once I fix the round pen. It wouldn't bother me so much if it was my own round pen but unfortunately I'm boarding my boys. I just hope it doesn't cost me $200 every time we try to tighten the buckles on something.

I allow my colts to buck ONE time with the saddle. After that I leave the halter on them and send them around the pen and when they start to buck I pull them around and make them face up then go the other way. It doesn't take long before they just accept the saddle. You don't need to be in a round pen to do it. Put on a rope halter and an extra long lead rope and before he really gets bucking make him change directions. he will soon forget why he was so interested in bucking. If you allow him to buck under saddle (or surcingle) with no consequences then it may get to be a habit and he will need to be lunged before he is ridden every time.
There's nothing like the Rockies in the springtime... Nothing like the freedom in the air... And there ain't nothing better than draggin calves to the fire and there's nothing like the smell of burning hair. -Brenn Hill
Thanks Kevin. I was hoping you'd find this post. I will definitely go that route next time. Today I just stepped out of the way and jumped over the panels. I actually stood and just watched for a minute or so until he finally just stood there. I was expecting the bucking so I was quite calm about the whole thing. I just wish he didn't run over that darn panel. I've been using a rope halter on him and I love it. Guess I better get me some thicker gloves because the way he's been bucking, he'll burn nice rope tracks into my hands when I try to pull him around. LOL! How's your stallion coming along?

I can't say as I've had any REAL buckers...once or twice they'd throw a crowhop in the mix but soon got over it. Then again, I was able to have a blanket and saddle on most of them as a yearling, just for desensatizing. Changing their focus from trying to get it off them to which way they're supposed to go sounds like it should work - you just have to be quick on your feet and ready for when he starts. Don't let him get 4-5 good hard bucks in before you change it up...then he's just gaining momentum. Let us know how round 2 goes! Glad he's not hurt from the panels, hopefully he'll remember they didn't tickle and he'll avoid them next time!

Photo gallery: 500 evacuated from supermarket - with some customers wheeled on trolleys to their cars- as floods wreak havoc in Fenland town
PUBLISHED: 16:45 08 August 2014 | UPDATED: 17:32 08 August 2014
Staff wheeled customers from a supermarket today as sudden floods wrecked havoc across a Fenland town.
Five hundred shoppers had to be evacuated from Tesco, part of a riverbank collapsed and many roads flooded within minutes of torrential rain hitting March.
At about 2pm, Tesco was forced to take the "unprecedented" decision to evacuate its Hostmoor Avenue store, which had 500 shoppers inside.
In some instances, staff wheeled customers on trolleys to their cars.
Cambs Fire Service says they have had more than 30 flooding related calls since 12.30pm.
Mark Steele, Tesco store manager, said: "Something like this is unprecedented. At about 2pm we had no choice but to close the store. We could not stay open with a foot of water outside the shop.
"The drainage company is on its way and we will continue to monitor the situation.
"I would like to thank all our customers for being fantastic when we asked them to leave. Our staff was fantastic as well, helping customers to their cars. They even took some of them in trolleys. Thankfully there has been no damage inside the shop."
Passers-by looked on astounded as a sizeable chunk of March riverbank collapsed into the river.
Passer-by Susan Davy said: "I was walking the dog and it did not want to go any further. The bank had just washed away. I've never seen anything like it."
The mayor of March Councillor Kit Owen added: "I went in The Ship an hour ago to shelter from the rain when suddenly we realised the bank had collapsed.
"At first we thought it was just a narrow bit at the top but when we had a look we saw quite a bit of it was down the bottom so we thought we should let somebody know."
Cambridgeshire highways engineers and Fenland District Council's Street Scene have been despatched to the bank to manage the situation. People have been warned to stay clear of the site.
Houses all over the town have been affected by the floods. On Dartford Road, people were frantically trying to pump water, which in some instances was six to eight inches high, from their gardens.
There have also been reports of flooding on Alpha Street, Gresley Way, Boundary Drive and Green Street, to name but a few.
Even the police station has been caught up in the flooding, with a fire crew pumping water out of its basement.
A Cambs fire spokesman said: "We have had more than 30 calls for flooding related incidents since 12.30pm. Our main concern is Alpha Street, which is where most of our resources are heading.
"We can only pump out water when it is six inches deep or above. If residents are concerned they should turn off the electrics and, if possible, head upstairs.
"We will not be able to attend every call. We can only do so when the water is six inches or above or there is an immediate risk to life."
On social media sites residents of March spoke of the speed at which their streets and garden were flooded.
"My back garden is flooded, the kitchen window is leaking because the gutter can't cope and the conservatory has four leaks," wrote one woman. She added: "My dog, too, is scared."
Another woman said: "I've run out of tea towels – I need sandbags."
And a man said the water was moving fast through his neighbour's back door "and is now going into their kitchen".
Businessman Paul Bryan said the flooding wasn't confined to March – the village of Doddington nearby caught it to.
"There has been extreme hail and rain," he said. "We have had water in the house this afternoon. Cars and vehicles in general are having difficulty getting through the streets due to the mass of water.
"There's wave after wave of water crashing into people's houses as the traffic goes through."

Green, Suns race past Pacers 124-100
- Article by: BOB BAUM
- Associated Press
- January 23, 2014 - 1:15 AM
PHOENIX — The team with the NBA's best record had its worst game of the season Wednesday night.
The Phoenix Suns simply ran the Indiana Pacers and their vaunted defense off the court, 124-100.
It was the most points allowed by the Pacers this season and matched their most one-sided loss.
The Suns snapped Indiana's five-game winning streak but was no cause for alarm, the Pacers' George Hill said.
"We spoil you guys with great defense," he said, "so when you do have a bad game you think the world is going to end."
The surprising Suns won their 24th game, one fewer than they did all of last season.
"Heck of an offensive performance by the Phoenix Suns," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. "Their shot-making was off the charts."
Gerald Green led the Suns with 23 points against his former team, not that it meant anything that special. Green's had a lot of former teams.
"This is my seventh team, man," he said. "I've been down this road before."
Indiana has the league's best record (33-8) and is the NBA leader in scoring defense and field goal percentage defense. But the Pacers were on their heels from the start.
"We knew they were going to come out with a lot of energy and play with a lot of energy," Indiana's Paul George said. "We just did a terrible job of responding to it. They just caught fire and once one of them fell, they all had that confidence to keep shooting."
Goran Dragic scored 21, Markieff Morris 20, P.J. Tucker 13, Miles Plumlee 11 and Channing Frye 10 for the Suns.
George scored 26, Hill 16 and David West 13 for Indiana.
Phoenix scored 62 points in each half, the most allowed by the Pacers in any half this season.
"We should play like that every game," Dragic said. "We should play like that against everybody, even if they are last in the standings."
Phoenix led by 13 at the half, as many as 24 in the third quarter and 26 in the fourth.
Green and Plumlee came to the Suns along with a first-round draft pick in a trade that sent Luis Scola to Indiana in the offseason. Scola scored five on Wednesday night.
The Suns shot 54 percent, including 11 of 16 from 3-point range. The Pacers committed 21 turnovers, resulting in 27 Phoenix points. The Suns had 10 turnovers for 10 Indiana points.
The Suns led 62-49 at the break.
The onslaught started when Phoenix opened the second quarter with a 14-2 run that put the Suns ahead 44-31. Frye and Green each sank a 3 in the surge.
The Pacers, having trouble with some the Suns' best offensive pressure of the season, never got closer than nine the rest of the half.
Tucker's 3-pointer from the corner put Phoenix ahead 59-45, then Dragic made one of two free throws and it was 60-45. George sank a jumper, then with 9.8 seconds left, Dragic made an 18-footer and the Suns were up 62-47. George's step-back 21 footer at the buzzer cut it to 62-49. Green scored 18 in the first half, George 14.
The Suns turned it up a notch to start the second half, opening with a 10-2 run to lead 72-51 on Tucker's basket. When Dragic sank a 3 moments later, Phoenix led 79-55 with 7:12 left in the third quarter. The Suns led 96-79 entering the fourth.
"I thought our guys really focused at the start of the third quarter to really build that lead, rather than let them come right back in the game," Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said.
The Pacers scored the first four points of the final quarter to make it 96-83, but Ish Smith scored on a drive, Morris sank consecutive 3s and Phoenix led 105-83 in one of the most raucous environments at US Airways Center this season.
With 6:06 to go, Vogel raised the white flag, emptying his bench with his team trailing 109-83.
NOTES: The Pacers' David West was out briefly in the first half with a bruised right wrist. ... The previous high for points scored against Indiana in a half was 61 in the second half at Portland on Dec. 2. ... The most points Indiana had previously allowed was 118 by Oklahoma City on Dec. 8.

Way Down in the Hole
Countless are the creative souls who struggle with mental illness, as are the novels and films dedicated to them. Again and again, we've encountered artists both inspired and undermined by their madness, whose torment and tumult produce works of beauty and depth. So can a documentary about a singer-songwriter and visual artist who perennially self-destructs show us something new? Or can it at least bring us closer to a phenomenon that we're still trying to understand?
Maybe. In many ways, The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a beautiful work, a painstakingly crafted portrait of a talented self-saboteur -- a man consistently done in by a vicious mental illness. But it's not as compelling as one would hope. Despite the ample archival footage and audio tapes created by Johnston, who has obsessively documented his own life, Devil never quite gives us a sense of what it's like to be Johnston, of how it feels to live inside his mind. Instead, the more indelible impression is of his friends and his family, and particularly of his parents. Bill and Mabel Johnston are layered, sympathetic figures. Far more than Daniel, they grow and change throughout the film, and this growth becomes the emotional center of the movie.
Johnston's trajectory has followed a typical pattern for someone suffering from manic depression. According to Mabel, he was different from the start -- moody and exhausting, always playing the clown. By junior high, he had started making films; in high school, he set up an "art factory" in the basement, obsessively drawing and recording music while his parents went to church and lived middle-class lives. At college, Johnston started to flounder, unable (or unwilling) to attend classes and do the work. Instead, he found a muse and set about memorializing her rejection of him (her face has since launched 1,000 of Johnston's songs).
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Rated PG-13.
After leaving college, Johnston lived with various siblings, joined a traveling carnival and landed in Austin, where he became part of the burgeoning '80s alternative music scene. By recording his songs on low-fi cassettes and handing them out for free, he built a small following; then, once he weaseled his way onto MTV, his star began to rise. But just as the record companies and music magazines started calling, Johnston broke down. High on acid and convinced that his handlers were satanists, he attacked his manager with a lead pipe and put him in the hospital.
The pattern repeats. The offers get better, and the breakdowns get bigger. Various figures around Johnston promote him, protect him and parent him, believing so fervently in his talent that they permit all manner of difficult behavior until, inevitably, he becomes unmanageable. Then they send him home.
Director Jeff Feuerzeig wants to get inside the mind of a mad artist. In the film's press notes, he discusses his intention to bring Johnston's internal monologue to the screen. But, archives notwithstanding, that's exactly what we don't get. Johnston's friends and family tell his story, and his music is far more often in the background than the foreground, where we might hear enough of it to get a sense of who he is. In fact, everybody but Johnston is interviewed for the film. Feuerzeig spent three weeks at Bill and Mabel's home, and he brings forth riveting material from them, but Daniel doesn't talk, nor will he perform. When he does appear on-screen, in fleeting moments, he feels unreachable.
That may be the nature of the beast; Johnston's illness may drop a thick curtain between his consciousness and ours. But that curtain makes it hard to care. So many people have believed in Johnston -- Kurt Cobain, Matt Groening, David Bowie and Tom Waits among them -- that his talent must be real. Johnston's idol is John Lennon, and he is often compared to early Dylan, his songs so raw that they sometimes drip with blood. (To this reviewer, he sounds most like a howling Neil Young.) But, at least in Feuerzeig's film, Johnston and his music remain aloof, and his art looks no more sophisticated than a talented student's comic-book scribbles. He would matter much more to us if we could feel what he feels, if, as we do in Jessica Yu's excellent film about a different eccentric artist (In the Realms of the Unreal), we could experience his inner world.
Instead, The Devil and Daniel Johnston connects us with only his parents. We see and feel their confusion, their sorrow and their fear. Our hearts bend toward them and toward the world of trouble their son has brought, and continues to bring, to their lives. Feuerzeig seems to know as much, since he gives them the film's final word.

Thomson Reuters' revenue and margin forecast for 2013 failed to impress Wall Street and the shares fell 2.4 per cent, overshadowing bullish remarks from chief executive officer James Smith that his turnaround plan was gaining traction.
The global news and information company posted a better-than-expected rise in quarterly profit on Wednesday and forecast that revenue would increase in the low single digits this year. The outlook was largely anticipated by analysts, who had forecast a 2 per cent rise.
The margin for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization is expected to be in the range of 26 per cent and 27 per cent in 2013, lower than the 2012 performance of 27.4 per cent.
"It looks like another year where the overall growth will be muted," said Claudio Aspesi, a senior analyst at Sanford Bernstein & Co.
Mr. Smith said the company was halfway through his turnaround plan because of product improvements and stabilization in Europe and that he expects revenue to rebound. "The success we are having today doesn't start showing up until next year," Mr. Smith said in an interview.
"It's like night and day. We are in a different place."
Mr. Smith said he expected Financial & Risk net sales to turn positive in the second half of the year. This an important gauge of future performance because subscription-based revenue typically lags sales by 12 months.
Financial & Risk, which accounts for 54 per cent of total revenue, has struggled in recent years following a troubled launch for its flagship desktop product Eikon, which is aimed at bankers, hedge fund managers, and other financial industry professionals.
Cost cutting by banks after the financial crisis compounded the difficulties, especially in Europe.
Mr. Smith said the company expects to cut 2,500 jobs in the Financial & Risk division, or about 4 per cent of its total global staff, in 2013. The company said it plans to spend $100-million (U.S.) in severance this quarter.
"At the end of the day, 2012 was supposed to be a transition year and now they are talking about 2013," said Swami Shanmugasundaram, an analyst with Morningstar.
Thomson Reuters said revenue from ongoing businesses in the fourth quarter rose 2 per cent before currency changes to $3.36-billion, roughly in line with expectations. It was not immediately clear what the change in costs was on the same basis.
Adjusted earnings increased to $497-million, or 60 cents per share, from $445-million, or 54 cents per share, a year earlier, beating analysts' average forecast for 55 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Profit in the quarter increased on the back of "continued cost containment and lower reorganization costs", the company said. Organic revenue was flat.
"They have worked very hard on cost and the efforts should be acknowledged," Mr. Aspesi said.
The number of Eikon desktops installed rose 33 per cent in the fourth quarter from the previous quarter to 33,900.
For the fourth quarter, revenue at the Financial & Risk division increased 1 per cent due to growth in its Governance, Risk & Compliance business and its acquisition of electronic foreign exchange platform FXall.
Revenue in the division's Europe, Middle East and Africa region and in Asia was down 3 per cent, respectively, while the Americas gained 6 per cent.
At its legal division, which includes WestlawNext, revenue rose 2 per cent in the quarter to $861-million. Thomson Reuters recently acquired London-based Practical Law Company, which provides guidance and analysis tailored to specific areas of the law.
Full year revenue at Thomson Reuters rose 3 per cent to $12.89-billion. Bloomberg LP, which competes with Thomson Reuters on many fronts but gets the bulk of its revenue from terminal sales to financial institutions, said on Wednesday that revenue for 2012 rose 4.5 per cent to $7.9-billion.
The board approved a 2 cent annual dividend increase to $1.30 per share.
Thomson Reuters' New York and Toronto listed shares were down 2.6 per cent at $29.88 and $29.93 (Canadian), respectively.

Jury finds welding rod makers not liable
The Associated Press has reported that a jury in Cleveland today cleared welding rod makers of any liability for heath problems affecting Ernesto G. Solis, a former civilian worker at a Navy base. Solis claims that years of exposure to the manganese in welding fumes damaged his health.
The jury was asked to decide whether the defendents—Lincoln Electric Holdings Inc.; ESAB Group Inc.; Hobart Bros. Co.; and TDY Industries, which no longer makes welding products—distributed welding rods with inadequate safety warnings and instructions. The jury found that this was not true.
Similar claims are pending in state and county courts across the U.S. Eric Wetzel, a spokesman for nearly 4,000 plaintiffs, said, "The vast majority of cases filed against the welding industry are far stronger than this one. We're disappointed but not deterred."
