On the Tube: This Friday's game versus Hamilton will mark the first of five home contests this season that will be televised throughout Michigan on Comcast Local. The schedule also includes Jan. 26 vs. Chicago, Feb. 23 vs. Manitoba, March 29 vs. Rochester, and April 11 vs. Manitoba.
On a Roll: Saturday's loss to Syracuse, which broke Grand Rapids' three-game winning streaks both at home and overall, was just the third regulation defeat for the Griffins in their last 10 games (5-3-1-1) and their first in their last five contests in friendly confines (3-1-0-1)…Last Wednesday, Grand Rapids earned a 3-2 win over Lake Erie, rallying from a 2-0 deficit with three goals in the final 21 minutes. It marked the team's first victory of the season when trailing after two periods…Since earning only one point in a nine-game stretch (0-8-0-1) from Oct. 28 to Nov. 21, the Griffins have captured points in seven of their last 10 games, and they are 4-2-1-0 in their last seven outings.
The Season of Joy: After posting a 2-9-0-2 mark during November – the fewest wins they've ever earned during a complete month of play (Nov.-March) – the Griffins are already 3-1-1-0 during December. Their recent three-game winning streak (Dec. 2-7) tied for their longest run of the season (Oct. 6-13).
No Soup for You: Following with his 22-save, 1-0 blanking at Milwaukee on Dec. 2, Jimmy Howard made 26 stops on Friday to record his second shutout in three games, a 2-0 victory over the Crunch. It marked the 10th shutout of Howard's career, tying him with Marc Lamothe for second place on the franchise's all-time list behind only Joey MacDonald (16). Following a career-high six-game winless streak from Nov. 9-21 (0-5-1, 4.28 GAA, 0.863%), Howard is 5-3 with two shutouts, a 1.63 GAA and a 0.935 save percentage (188-201) in his last eight games. Moreover, during December, he owns a 3-1 mark with two shutouts, a 1.01 GAA and a 0.955% (84-88).
Attendance On the Rise: A crowd of 9,262, the Griffins' largest since opening night, witnessed Saturday's game against Syracuse. Their attendance of 68,061 through 12 home games this season (5,672 avg., ninth in AHL) represents a year-to-date increase of 17.2%, as last season's team welcomed 58,053 fans through its first 12 games at Van Andel Arena.
Rare Occurrences: The Crunch's 2-1 win on Saturday was remarkable for two reasons. First, Syracuse scored both goals just seven seconds apart during the first period, setting a Griffins record for fastest two goals by an opponent (old record: eight seconds, Dec. 9, 2001 at Hamilton). In addition, it broke the Crunch's seven-game losing streak at Van Andel Arena, where they had not won since their inaugural visit on Jan. 10, 2003.
Corazzini Nets AHL Nomination: The Griffins on Monday nominated right wing Carl Corazzini for the Rbk/AHL Player of the Week award, after he tallied three goals and five points in three games last week. Corazzini lit the lamp in all three games – the longest goal streak for a Griffin this season – accounting for three of the team's six goals while assisting on two others. He also was named one of the three stars in each contest. Corazzini leads Grand Rapids with 23 points and five power play goals (tied) and ranks second with 10 goals and 13 assists.
Welcome to the Club: The Griffins on Monday signed left wing Neil Clark and right wing Jamie Carroll to professional tryouts. Clark, 26, attended training camp with the Detroit Red Wings and originally signed a tryout with the Griffins on Sept 26. Released by Grand Rapids on Oct. 9 without appearing in the team's season opener, he has since accumulated 22 penalty minutes in nine games with the IHL's Port Huron IceHawks. Clark spent his 2006-07 rookie season with Laredo of the Central Hockey League. He helped the Bucks to a Southeast Division title and a berth in the CHL finals, totaling 17 points and 140 PIM in 43 regular season games before adding 12 points (6-6—12) and 76 PIM in 21 playoff contests. Carroll, 24, also comes to Grand Rapids from Port Huron, where he ranks second on the Icehawks with 12 goals and 22 points through his first 22 pro contests. Also a teammate of Clark's in 2002-03 at Iona College, he played the last three seasons at Providence College.
By the Numbers: The Griffins' scoring differentials this season are plus-three in the first period (24-21), minus-five in the second period (24-29) and minus-nine in the third period (20-29)…Only four of Grand Rapids' losses this season – and just two of their last 13 – have been by more than two goals…The Griffins have notched a power play tally in nine of their last 11 games.
Strange But True: Grand Rapids is 5-11-0-1 when outshooting its opponents and 5-2-1-1 when being out-shot…The Griffins are 5-3-1-0 when recording 29 or fewer shots, but they own a 5-10-0-2 record in games with 30 or more attempts…Grand Rapids is two games over 0.500 on the road (7-5-1-1) and five games under the break-even mark at home (3-8-0-1).
Hockeytown Holiday: The Griffins have introduced their new "Hockeytown Holiday Ticket Package," a perfect present for West Michigan hockey fans made available for the first time through collaboration with the Detroit Red Wings. The Hockeytown Holiday package includes two tickets to either of three Red Wings games at Joe Louis Arena, along with five Griffins lower-bowl flex tickets that can be redeemed for any Grand Rapids home game during the 2007-08 regular season, for only $99 – a savings of $74 off the regular ticket prices. Fans can choose from one of the following Red Wings home games: Jan. 10 vs. Minnesota, Feb. 1 vs. Colorado or March 15 vs. Nashville. To order the Hockeytown Holiday package or get more information, call (800) 2-HOCKEY or visit http://www.griffinshockey.com/holiday.
Red Wings Jersey Auction: Twenty-three autographed, game-issued Detroit Red Wings jerseys are being made available for public bidding throughout the 2007-08 season through exclusive auctions that begin at griffinshockey.com and conclude after select Griffins home games. Online bidding, which begins at $250 per jersey, will establish the starting bids for silent auctions that will take place on the arena concourse during Griffins games. Subsequently, the highest bids from the silent auctions will serve as the starting bids for live post-game auctions. The Valtteri Filppula and Pavel Datsyuk jerseys are currently up for bid online, concluding with silent and live auctions at this Friday's game versus Hamilton. Proceeds from the auctions will benefit the Griffins Youth Foundation. For more information and a complete auction schedule, visit griffinshockey.com/fanzone/auctions.

This is a comeback story perhaps unlike any other in the history of U.S. track and field.
During practice at Stanford in March of 2011, McLain leaped too far during the second phase of the triple jump — her right foot landing half in and out of the pit, causing a severe rollover of the foot.
Her ankle gave out and the dislocation caused her foot to flip completely upside down. All of her ankle ligaments were torn and tibia broke through her skin. The injury was devastating.
"There was no fracture," McLain recalled. "But, I really thought it was going to have to be amputated. One doctor said 'I don't think you'll be running and jumping again.'"
Despite spending five days in Stanford Hospital and enduring two surgeries to clean the sand from her wound and have her tibia and fibula bones reset, McLain never gave up on her dream and worked tirelessly to rehab her ankle.
Less than a year after the injury, McLain made the World Indoor Team in the triple jump. Heading into qualifying at the Olympic Trials, the 26-year-old has the No. 1 mark in America at 45-9 3/4.
The finals of the women's triple jump will be Monday. While the top three finishers will make the U.S. team, only the winner (having jumped the minimum 'B' standard of 46-3 1/4) will be guaranteed a trip to London. The 'A' standard is 46-11.
Presently, only Amanda Smock (46-6 1/4) has either standard.
McLain's lifetime best is 47-0 1/4, set prior to her injury. It ranks No. 5 in U.S. history. It's a mark McLain, a Menlo Park resident, has not gotten close to since her injury. Thus, despite her miraculous comeback, Track and Field News Magazine is picking McLain to finish only seventh at the Olympic Trials — likely based on her questionable fitness.
"It's frustrating. I've never been in a position like this," McLain said. "I mentally just have to stay tough, stay strong and understand it's going to come down to the day of . . . I just have to figure out how to deal with the limitation I have."
Edrick Floreal, Stanford's director of track and field, has coached McLain through her college career and has been with her every step of the way through injury and rehab.
"If she can put the pressure on the ankle, the jump will be there," he said. "It's 85 -90 percent mental. She just needs to trust the ankle and let it rip."
Floreal hoped that McLain would be able to attain the 'A' or 'B' standard before now, just to give her the confidence boost that she needs. Thus, training has been inconsistent.
"Some days. It's absolutely terrible; she believes she's the worst jumper in the world," Floreal said. "Some days, it looks like she could break the American record. You just don't know what you're going to get."
Floreal hopes the real McLain shows up Saturday and again on Monday.
"Preparing for the Olympic Trials and dealing with my ankle injury has turned into more than a full-time job lately," McLain wrote on her blog earlier this month. "The past month has been quite difficult me. My primary reason for pushing through the pain is to encouraging the youth that I work with to do the same and learn positive ways to overcome adversity. If it wasn't for that, I may have given up long ago, but I constantly remind myself what a poor lesson that would teach them."
McLain spent the spring as an assistant track coach at Monta Vista High in Cupertino. She also was a volunteer coach at Stanford, which helped take her mind off her injury.
"The month that I had to stay in bed due to my ankle injury was the longest month of my life, thus far," she said. "The few months that I had to take completely off, not even allowed to do ab/core strengthening, nearly drove me insane. It was the first time in my whole life, since I was 5 years old, that I had to take that much time away from sports. However, my injury taught me patience and about my personal ability to overcome adversity . . . an inner strength that I didn't know that I possessed.
"The power of positivity is real. I can attest to that whole-heartedly. I spent the past 14 months mentally blocking out the pain I felt and willing myself through my training sessions. However, at the beginning of May, I began to relapse. I suffered a hamstring injury to the same leg as my injured ankle and that was the 'straw that broke the camel's back' so to speak; it broke my heart and my will. I went on a bit of a downwards spiral for awhile."
With her spirit broken, McLain said she became consumed with negative thoughts and felt the pain in her ankle more clearly than ever.
"It even hurt to sleep," she said. "I grew tired of mentally trying to stay strong and positive. It's a very tiresome thing to do . . . I've been crying more days than I've been happy lately . . . Dealing with injury, especially when it keeps you from something you love, is a very difficult process to go through."
But, that process is at an end. A possible trip to London and the culmination of a dream is for the taking in the next few days.
"Making the Olympic team again would be huge," she said. "It would be a testament to my perseverance and courage. And, even if I don't make the team, as long as I can look back on this experience and can say I gave it my all, then, in a way, that's a win.
"(But) Making the team again would mean the world to me, and mean the world to my parents and everyone I have been supported by. It would be a great end to be able to tell people 'everyone has adversity in their life and sometimes they have to work hard to overcome.' And, it would be really great to be able to use this story to inspire people to overcome whatever adversity happens to be part of their lives, because I think that's something that everyone can relate to."

An Augusta woman whose 2-year-old son drowned after he wandered outside unattended was indicted on a charge of murder Tuesday.
A Richmond County grand jury issued the indictment against Lisa Stocker. Her son Daniel I. Stocker was found at the bottom of an unused swimming pool in the family's backyard in the 3800 block of Creighton Place on March 21.
The murder charge is based on an underlying allegation that Stocker committed cruelty to children in the second degree by neglecting the toddler. According to the indictment, Stocker took medication that rendered her unconscious and unable to stop Daniel from leaving the home that morning.
Stocker was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter.
At the time Stocker admitted to investigators that she was asleep "and not attending to the needs of her youngest child." The child's father was out of town on business.
She said she became aware of Daniel's disappearance only after a neighbor alerted her to the family's dogs running loose in the neighborhood, sheriff's investigators said.
When the child was first reported missing, about 30 deputies combed the Covington subdivision off Old Waynesboro Road looking for him. Police said surveillance video from a neighbor's home showed the child outside and unattended earlier that morning.
Witnesses in the neighborhood also told deputies they had seen the child in the yard unattended.
After searches in the neighborhood failed, the fire department and dive team were called to search a pool in the backyard of the child's home and a pool down the street.
The murky, debris-filled conditions of the pool in the toddler's backyard complicated matters, authorities said.
Crews removed much of the water from the pool before divers were sent back to search through the remaining water and debris. Divers found the child's body about 12:30 p.m.

Northshire reps weigh priorities
Manchester Journal
MANCHESTER -- Vermont lawmakers returned to the Statehouse on Wednesday for the start of the 2013 Legislative session, with a wide range of issues and problems to sort through.
Before the gavel came down to officially launch a new legislative biennium, local state representatives gave their views on the priorities they see on the horizon.
Among the major issues that will be addressed will be physician-assisted suicide, decriminalization of marijuana, health care reform, and the increase in property tax among others, several said.
This will be the first year that Cynthia Browning and Jeff Wilson will both be representing the Bennington 4 District that includes Manchester, Arlington, Sandgate, and a part of Sunderland since a reapportionment redrew the boundaries of local districts last year. Wilson, who formerly represented Manchester, and Browning, who represented Arlington, Sunderland, Sandgate and a part of West Rupert, will now be thrown together into the new two-member district.
"We communicated well even before the redistricting, so not much changed," said Browning. "What was different for me is that every Saturday I do legislative office hours at Chauncey's Restaurant in Arlington and I am getting for people from Manchester visiting me."
Wilson seemed unfazed by the changeover as well.
"It has affected me in the sense that I have gone and visited each town and we are both fielding questions from a broader base of constituents," he said. "Not much has changed, but we are representing a larger population so we have to keep that in mind."
This will also be newly elected Representative Charles "Tim" Goodwin's first visit to the legislative session and he admits that he might be a bit nervous. Goodwin will be representing the Windsor-Bennington-Windham District 1, which includes the towns of Weston, Winhall, Stratton, Londonderry and Jamaica.
"I am pretty excited to get there and see what it's like," he said. "I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't a little nervous and that I have a little anxiety, but I'm just really excited to get up there."
One topic that has some locals worried is the five cent increase in the property tax and how that might effect our schools, he said.
"Education is very important in my district and in our state," said Goodwin. "If something were to jeopardize the great education system we have that would be disappointing."
Wilson is also worried what some of the decisions that have to be made will effect the people in Vermont.
"It's a tough one," said Wilson. "When you have a situation where the tax base of the state is declining because property values have declined but spending continues to grow its just simple math that there is going to be an increase in property tax rates. When push comes to shove there are just certain things we can't afford and you have to make some tough decisions."
Health reform is likely to be another topic of discussion and it is something Browning thinks needs to be changed in order to be beneficial.
"I would like to make participation in the new health insurance exchange voluntary instead of mandatory and allow more variety of plans, including the high deductible low cost policies that many businesses are using," she said. "This would reduce uncertainty for businesses and allow for an easier transition period."
Some different topics of discussion that may throw the legislature a curveball include the topics of the decriminalization of marijuana and physician-assisted suicide. Both topics test differences in moral boundaries and tend to have strong opinions either way.
"I do think it will be decriminalized and it's only a matter of time," said Goodwin. "There are a lot of things that are going to have to be considered and there needs to be a lot of input from different sectors."
Goodwin is a Vietnam veteran and witnessed first hand the effects harder drugs have on people compared to marijuana.
"When I got to Vietnam I pretty much witnessed first hand what marijuana did to people, which wasn't much, and what heroin did to people, and you just watch them go down the tubes," he said. "I thought for a long time that resources would be better spent addressing the issue of harder drugs."
Others have different opinions on the matter because decriminalizing marijuana goes against federal law.
"I would tend to want to go very slow on that," said Browning. "I don't think it makes since to do that given the structure of federal law. I don't believe in going against federal laws and I think that marijuana is as not as benign as people think it." Wilson, on the other hand, would still like to get more information before making a decision.
"I have mixed feelings to be honest," he said. "I would like to see how it plays out in other states. It may send the wrong message to our youth. On the other hand some people say that it is crazy to spend an enormous amount of time and money on it and we might be better off trying to concentrate on our larger drug problems."
The topic of physician-assisted death is a topic that may pose some difficult moral questions and is a topic that stirs up strong feelings.
Wilson supports "death with dignity," as physician-assisted suicide is often referred to, and feels that patients should have the right to decide what to do.
"I am in favor of it and was a co-sponsor in the past and will support it going forward," he said. "I think in this day and age one should be able to make that choice, as opposed to the suffering and painful experience in the last days or weeks of their life. It is a decision that should be left with the individual."
Wilson's district mate, Browning, has a different opinion on the matter and said that there are too many factors that cannot be controlled. "I was actually in the legislature the last time this came up for a vote and I voted against it," she said. "I did so because although I had great sympathy for the desire and the need of people to have such an option, when it came to the actual mechanics of how to regulate and how to monitor it and the possibilities that something could go wrong, I just could not support it."
On Thursday, Gov. Peter Shumlin is expected to discuss, following his swearing-in ceremony, the estimated $50 to $70 million budget shortfall that Vermont is facing, a topic that local legislators are worried about.
Browning has some strong ideas on how this problem might be able to be solved.
"One priority will be the transformation of our system of state financing so that every dollar spent is productive and effective and our tax code is simple, efficient, and equitable," she said. "All spending programs must have performance goals and cost controls. The tax code should be reformed by reducing subsidies and broadening the tax base so that we could lower the sales, income, and property tax rates. What if all income tax rates could be lowered? What if property tax rates could be lowered by 20 cents? What if the sales tax rate could be 2 percent or 1 percent? I think that such changes may be possible, but it will not be easy."
Wilson said that Vermont has to do a better job in long-term financial planning and do a better job with the budgeting process.
"We have to look at the trends and where some of the spending is coming from," he said. "We have been through this for the past four or five years with the recession and we have to prioritize and figure out what we can afford."
The journal was unable to coordinate a conversation with Rep. Patti Komline, who represents Dorset, Landgrove, Peru, Danby and Mt. Tabor, in time for this article.

Troy residents conducted a march late Wednesday afternoon to urge people to provide information about a deadly April 4 fire in Lansingburgh. Police are investigating the death of 19-year-old Vanessa Milligan, who almost ready to give birth. The march started at the Missing Link AME Zion Church at 101st Street and Sixth Avenue and moved five blocks north on Fifth Avenue to 271 Fifth Ave., the fire scene.
Detectives continue to press forward with their investigation, said Capt. John Cooney, a police department spokesman.

Everyones heard the term going broke, but how many know the term growing broke? Thats what happens when a business grows faster than its capital structure can support.
In effect, the firm grows so fast that it runs out of money. This situation occurs often during boom times when businesses are trying to keep up with rapid growth.
Many business people may be surprised to learn the problem can also crop up during a weak recovery from an economic downturn such as we are now experiencing.
Lets look at the problem and what to do about it.
During this downturn, many businesses experienced a drop in sales and a reduction in available credit. In addition, many owners significantly depleted their cash to stay afloat.
Now things are looking up. Sales are increasing, but credit is still tight, and cash balances are reduced.
Increased sales require working capital to buy inventory, perhaps hire additional employees, and finance operations until the receivables start to come in.
Remember the saying, Cash goes out before it comes in.? This means most businesses must pay for inventory, wages and operating expenses before, sometimes long before, making the sale and collecting the money.
In addition, the desire for more sales can encourage an owner to reduce prices and grant generous payment terms. These actions make the problem worse.
What can you do? Begin by getting a handle on how much cash you need to conduct your daily business at various sales levels.
Adding sales is not your only goal. In addition, you must manage your profit and your cash flow. Calculate your sustainable growth rate, or SGR, the rate of sales growth you can sustain before you run out of cash.
If your SGR is 10 percent, you cannot grow sales at 15 percent unless you obtain additional working capital to finance the additional sales. Determining your SGR is a straightforward calculation. Ask your accountant or adviser for guidance.
You can increase working capital in many different ways. Among them are increasing gross profit margins by raising prices or reducing discounts, speeding up collections, firing low margin or slow-paying customers, increasing inventory turns, negotiating more favorable terms with suppliers, and monitoring overtime pay.
If necessary, you can reduce owner salary and distributions.
Increasing or taking on a bank line of credit directed solely for working capital needs or factoring receivables can provide new cash. Increasing equity by putting money in the business or taking on investors can address long-term capital needs.
All too often, business owners spend time studying their income statement and ignore their balance sheet and cash-flow statements.
The income statement alone will not give you the information you need to manage your working capital.
Calculate your cash cycle to determine how long it takes for a dollar of sales to end up in your pocket.
The recovery is under way. Remember, you want to grow wealthy and not grow broke. Planning can make all the difference.

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Voters waited in long lines and a special security force patrolled in all-terrain vehicles on Saturday as Guinea voted in hotly contested legislative elections that have sparked fears of violence in the West African nation.
Saturday's vote, delayed several times and already marred by deadly pre-election protests over how it will be conducted, is intended to complete a rocky transition to democracy that began with the election of President Alpha Conde in 2010.
But by early afternoon the main opposition leader and the European Union observer mission were citing flaws with the process, even as the government declared the poll to be a success.
Opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, voting at a polling station near his home in Conakry's Dixinn neighborhood, accused the national electoral commission of organizing "a chaotic election."
"I'm frustrated to note that the commission didn't correct any of the problems it was supposed to fix," Diallo said. "There is no ink in many of the polling stations. We have polling stations that don't have voting materials or election officials. It's a chaotic election and we are going to protest when the time comes."
The head of the European Union's monitoring team, Christian Preda, echoed and elaborated on these concerns in a radio interview.
"We have information that at a significant number of voting bureaus there is no indelible ink," Preda said. "In certain regions it is difficult to send in relevant materials, including ballots. And we know some voters are prevented from expressing their will at the ballot box because voting stations are placed several kilometers away."
Many voting stations opened up to one hour late, contributing to "agitation," said Preda.
In the capital, Conakry, voting was largely peaceful and long lines of voters turned out in both pro-government and pro-opposition neighborhoods. However, angry voters in the city's Matoto neighborhood ransacked a polling station after election workers failed to show up more than two hours after the scheduled starting time.
Guinea suffered under dictatorship and strongman rule until its first democratic presidential election in 2010. Though observers deemed that vote to be largely transparent, it showcased a deep rift between Guinea's Malinke and Peul ethnic groups, each of which represents about 40 percent of the population. Voters overwhelmingly backed politicians from their own groups — the Malinke supported Conde while the Peul backed Diallo.
Guinea has not had a legislative election since 2002, and repeated delays over the years have been accompanied by periodic violent protests, sometimes resulting in multiple deaths.
The most recent unrest came earlier this week when campaign clashes in several areas of Conakry killed a police trainee and wounded 50 people. On Wednesday, a weekly French newspaper reported having seen American and French intelligence documents warning about attempts to destabilize Conde's government, further rattling Conakry residents.
On Saturday, Conde voted under heavy protection from security forces and did not address the media, though he did issue a statement on state television. "With these elections, Guinea is moving forward," he said.
Government spokesman Damantang Albert Camara said the process was "a success" and "a great relief" for the country.
"The participation is very strong, and security and discipline have prevailed," he said.
Throughout the day, officers belonging to a special elections-related security force patrolled in four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Saturday's vote had originally been scheduled to take place last Tuesday but was pushed back by four days to address concerns raised by the opposition about voter rolls and other issues. It is now taking place on the four-year anniversary of Guinea's notorious stadium massacre, an episode that killed at least 150 people and saw widespread rapes.
Although charges related to the massacre have recently been brought against suspects including high-ranking military officers, Human Rights Watch on Friday accused the government of lending insufficient support to the investigation.
Many observers expressed concern about the possibility for violence either on voting day or as results came in, though the vote was also not expected to deliver an outright win for either the ruling party or the opposition.
"Effective coalition-building will be vital in the immediate period following the election, given that no single party — including the ruling Rally of the Guinean People — is expected to achieve an overall majority," said Sian Bradley, senior Africa analyst at the risk analysis firm Maplecroft.
Around 5 million voters are registered to pick 114 representatives. Polls were due to close Saturday at 6 p.m., and preliminary results are expected Tuesday.
Associated Press writer Robbie Corey-Boulet contributed to this report from Dakar, Senegal.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news
developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Dozens Sue Pharmacy Linked to Steroid/Meningitis Outbreak
Dozens of people have sued a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy
that made steroid injections linked to an outbreak of fungal
meningitis, but their chances of receiving compensation are low, a
lawyer says.
More than 500 people have become ill after receiving steroid
injections prepared by the New England Compounding Center (NECC).
Thirty-seven people have died in the outbreak.
At least 50 federal lawsuits in nine states have been filed
against the NECC and more are being filed in state courts every
day, according to the
Associated Press.
The lawsuits, which allege that NECC negligently produced a
defective and dangerous product, seek millions in compensation for
physically painful recoveries, lost wages, mental and emotional
suffering, and the death of spouses.
"The truth is the chance of recovering damages from NECC is extremely low," John Day, a Nashville attorney who represents several people who developed fungal meningitis, told the AP.
One of the main issues is that NECC is a small private company
that has recalled all its product and laid off it employees. The
company has surrendered its pharmacy licenses and it's not known if
NECC has adequate liability insurance.
"It's clear to me that at the end of the day, NECC is not going to have sufficient assets to compensate any of these people, not even 1 percent," Day told the AP.
That has led lawyers to seek compensation from other parties.
Additional defendants named in the lawsuit include NECC pharmacist
and co-founder Barry Cadden, co-founder Greg Conigliaro, sister
company Ameridose, and NECC's marketing and support arm, Medical
Sales Management.
The clinics and doctors who buy their drugs from compounding
pharmacies could be held liable for negligence in such cases
because they are better able to assess the safety of a medicine
than patients, according to Day, the
"Did they use due care in determining from whom to buy these drugs?" Day said.
Pharmaceutical distributors could also be held liable, according
to Terry Dawes, a Michigan lawyer who has filed at least 10 federal
lawsuits in the NECC case.
"We are looking at any conceivable sources of recovery for our clients including pharmaceutical supply places that may have dealt with this company in the past," Dawes told the AP.
Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown Undergoing Radiation Therapy for
Prostate Cancer
California Gov. Jerry Brown has early stage prostate cancer and
is undergoing radiation treatment, his office said Wednesday.
The 74-year-old governor's "prognosis is excellent, and there
are not expected to be any significant side effects," University of
California, San Francisco oncologist Eric Small, who is Brown's
cancer doctor, said in the statement, the
Associated Pressreported.
Brown's radiation treatment will be completed the week of Jan. 7
and he will continue to work a full schedule, according to the
statement. No further details were provided.
Typical radiation therapy for early stage prostate cancer is
five days a week for four to five weeks, Dr. Ralph de Vere White,
urological oncologist and director of the University of California,
Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center in Sacramento, told the

text: Last year, Novak played on at MC even as he suffered a personal tragedy and wasn't in the right frame of mind to play. As of then, he had a solid mental edge over Nadal beating him 7 times in a row including two straight set beat downs on clay in 2011. By playing MC when he was vulnerable, he conceded that mental edge which set the precedent for the rest of the clay season and handed the advantage back to Nadal on clay. Agreed that Novak's form in 2012 was nowhere close to 2011 God mode, but if he had avoided ceding the mental edge back to Nadal, the next time they met, Nadal would be one notch below on confidence and Djokovic a notch higher. I see the same thing repeating this year. Novak is injured and has somehow managed to make the final just because his draw got relatively easy with Delpo crashing out. With his current form and the injury, I think he will suffer a really bad loss (something like 2 and 2 or worse) which I am afraid can result in his confidence taking a hit the next time he plays Nadal. Moreover, his injury could be getting worse if he is forcing himself to play while not being fully fit. I think Novak playing here was a bad move and may come back to haunt him if it impacts the rest of his clay season, specially his chances at RG, ending his career slam dreams once again for this year.

When you are passing by a row of 25 cent machines you can almost always guarantee that Cadbury Adams' Chiclets chewing gum will be among the candies that lie within them.
When the decision of what candy to spend your sole quarter on proves difficult, don't think twice before putting it in the little slot for the Chiclets. With Chiclets you get the flavor variety of any other candy with the long lasting duration of any gum.
These classic, flavor filled gum squares were the first candy-coated chewing gum, first introduced in peppermint flavor in 1906. Frank H. Fleer took the idea of the candy coated Jordan almond and applied it to chewing gum and the Chiclets have thrived in every generation since the early 1900s.
Chiclets chewing gum is known all around the world, but is especially popular in the Middle East. Here in the United States Chiclets can be found in their original peppermint packaging or in various other flavor packed colors including orange, red, yellow, blue, green, and pink.
As great as each individual flavor tastes, taking a small handful of multiple flavors always proves enjoyable even if you don't think cinnamon, banana, and orange blend well together.
Chiclets are the perfect gum because you can easily monitor the size of the gum you will be chewing. You can dump a handful into your mouth and have a double-bubble-like mouthful or gum or you can just chew one square to get the smell of lunch off of your breath before your meeting or job interview. Whatever the reason, Chiclets chewing gum won't disappoint.

This complete kit provides everything necessary to mount virtually any 1-inch or 30mm scope the correct way, including an instructional DVD. Proper scope installation is critical to the accuracy of your firearm.
Alignment and Lapping of rings ensure maximum surface area contact between scope tube and rings. This not only helps the rings hold the scope more securely but also protects your scope from damage misalignment can cause. The Wheeler Alignment Bars, Lapping Bars and Lapping Compound allow you to achieve the perfect fit between scope and rings.
Reticle Leveling is also a key component to the accuracy of your set up. Crosshairs that are not properly leveled will result in errors in left/right windage especially at longer distances. Misalignment can also compromise true linear movement from turret adjustments. The Wheeler Level-Level-Level makes it quick and easy to get the reticle perfectly aligned with your gun.
Securing Fasteners properly is critical to accuracy as well. Precisely controlled torque along with thread locking compound will keep your scope held securely in place. Professional grade bits and the F.A.T. Wrench are the perfect combination to properly secure fasteners without deformation.

New head of the Investigatory Committee ignores the appeals of citizens39
- 16.11.2012, 15:39
According to the Belarusians, who disagree with verdicts, to all the complaints he respond with formal replies beside the point.
Liudmila Kuchura, a representative of a group of citizens, who do not agree with courts decisions on criminal, civil and administrative cases, told the charter97.org web-site.
Thus, the new head of the Investigatory Committee Valiantsin Shaeu does not react to citizens' appeals and reply beside the point, the
"The Investigatory Committee is an agency, which stands on guard of officials, covers their illegal activities. Valiantsin Shaeu worked at the Prosecutor General's office as a head of a department and replied to appeals with formal responses. Appeals were never considered according to the legislation when he was in charge. Then he was the prosecutor for the Gomel region and from there they sent him to the Investigatory Committee. Shaeu transferred the practice doing nothing and replying beside the point from the Prosecutor General's office to the Investigatory Committee".
We would remind that on 9 November Lukashenka dismissed Vadzim Zaitseu from the positions of the KGB chairman. As one of the reasons for the dismissal of the former KGB's chief Zaitsau was named the death of a lieutenant colonel Aliaksandr Kazak. At the same time, independent experts lean towards the version that the reshuffle is caused by the inter-clan battles within the enforcing agencies.
Today the former head of the Investigatory Committee Valery Vakulchyk was appointed the new chief of KGB and former Vakulchyk's deputy Valiantsin Shaeu has become the new chairman of the Investigatory Committee.

Discussion in 'TV & Media' started by Christopher, May 2, 2013.
Tori died?!!?
But they weren't trying to replicate the results of the myth. The results of the myth was the guy getting busted before he could even finish the parachute, which means even if they were ignoring the actual myth and instead just trying to see if building a parachute would work, the 3-hour limit was irrelevant.
No, that's the result of the real event. "Replicating the result" means replicating what the myth claimed would happen, and figuring out what it would really take to achieve that outcome. Here, the myth was not that the guy tried to make a parachute; that's simply a fact. The myth was what the guy believed: that by making a parachute and jumping out the 20th-story window, he could escape the police. That's the "result" in Mythbusters terms: the outcome he believed would result if he did a certain thing.
The question the team was examining was, if he'd actually made the jump rather than being arrested -- if he'd jumped just before the police stormed the room at the 3-hour mark -- would it have worked as he believed/hoped it would? (Sure, they could've tested the scenario that the police would've waited longer than 3 hours, but maybe that was standard procedure or something, so they decided to go with the alternative that only the criminal's actions were different.) And once they found that it wouldn't have worked, the next question was, what would that criminal have needed to do to escape a hotel room via makeshift parachute? What would he have had to do in order to achieve the desired result?
Really, there's a whole subgenre of Mythbusters segments where they test escape schemes, starting with the first-season Alcatraz myth and including others like the salsa escape, the horse pulling out prison bars, the makeshift ropes made from various materials, the paper crossbow, the techniques for eluding bloodhounds, etc. Here, too, they were testing the feasibility of the criminal's escape plan -- not what actually happened, but what he wanted to do. It's just that, unlike many of the other plans they've tested, this is a plan that never actually got put into practice.
Again, the 3-hour limit has nothing to do with the myth. The myth was based on a real, verifiable event and in that real, verifiable event, no parachute was made and used in three hours. It was not a part of the myth, unless "Mythbusters themselves making shit up randomly and then trying to pass it off as an accurate part of the myth" counts as a myth.
And no, it wasn't even a part of the myth they presented. The myth (actually, it's not even a myth, but whatever) they presented included the fact that he was interrupted in creating the parachute after only three hours. Which makes this an even bigger bullshit parameter because they literally added the completely and utterly inaccurate detail just a few minutes after saying so.
You're missing the point. The myth is not the documented event. You can't call something a myth when you know it happened -- as you yourself admit in your next paragraph. A myth is an unproven claim, account, or belief. In this case, the myth was the criminal's belief that if he made a parachute out of supplies in the hotel room and jumped out the window, he could escape. Or, to come at it another way, what they were testing was his escape plan, just like in the many other prisoner-escape myths they've done over the years.
Sure, granted, they were testing whether it could've worked if he hadn't been interrupted after 3 hours. So sure, yeah, they could have defined their hypothetical scenario as "What if the police had waited longer than 3 hours and he hadn't been arrested before trying to jump?" But instead, they chose to define it as "What if he'd finished the parachute just before the police raided?" There could be multiple reasons they did that. The main one, of course, was that deadlines are dramatic and it would be more challenging for the team if they had a limited time to make their experimental designs. But maybe there were other reasons. It could be that in the actual case, the parachute was already completed when the police stormed the room, so that it was made in less than three hours. Or maybe they decided it was simpler to alter the behavior of just one person than of all the police officers and officials who were involved in the decision to storm the room.
And the 3-hour limit wasn't a part of it whatsoever.
Because the 3-hour limit wasn't actually a part of the myth.
They made shit up that had nothing to do with the myth. They might as well make it all up from this point onward if they're just going to keep pulling everything out of their ass like that. No need for researchers or anything. Just make it up.
Hell, they nearly did the same thing with the bike myth when Adam decried that because the first remote model went up on its back wheel it wouldn't could because, apparently, bikes only count as bikes when both wheels are touching the water. Even though it was still a bike riding across the water.
Oh, forget it. I don't know why you're making a federal case out of something so trivial.
It's what he does.
Even so, that was a bit rude of me. Sorry. I'm recovering from minor surgery and I was irritable last night.
The same reason you were, apparently. Sans medical reasons.
It's okay, I know you have a hard time admitting your wrong. It's no big deal. All is forgiven.
^Ohh, good grief. That's what I get for trying to extend an olive branch. I stand completely by my position that you're fundamentally missing the point and employing flawed reasoning. I just have better things to do than argue with a closed mind over something this ridiculous.
Moving on...
Crash cushion: I've never heard the term "T-bone" for a vehicle hitting the side of another vehicle at a right angle. It's the favorite car/truck crash method in Hollywood these days because of the visual shock of seeing the vehicle just coming right toward the camera (and the POV shot of same here was pretty scary), but somehow the name for that particular type of impact has never come up in any of the countless movies and shows that use it. Why is it called that? Is it just because the two vehicles are at a right angle like the shape of a T? Is there a reason for the "bone" part or is that just embellishment?
I see they're reusing the huge dump truck from the season premiere. But sadly, they didn't keep that nifty cab armor this time, replacing it with a battering ram. I'm a little surprised it was safe for Jamie and Adam to just crash into another car like that, but I guess it helped that the ram was attached to the hopper or bucket or whatever you call that part of a dump truck, so that assembly and its connections absorbed the bulk of the impact (plus I think the front plate deformed some on impact).
Ingenious plan for the overweight human analogues. Using foam rubber as a storage medium for water is a very clever approach. It is largely air, after all, so in a way it's a more robust water balloon. And I do have experience with how heavy waterlogged foam rubber can get, from that one time I dared to wash a foam rubber pillow (and man, did I get a workout trying to wring the thing out).
I'm kicking myself for not anticipating that the guy would actually be crushed worse whe sandwiched by the other two guys. I realized it about a minute before Jamie said it: water is incompressible! The reason their scale test didn't work was because the "car" they built didn't compress when it was struck, so all mini-Buster had to contend with was g-forces. But in the real crash, the car was crushed. As long as Syndaver Buster was alone in the back seat, he basically did just have g-forces to contend with, but he was crammed in between two large incompressible bodies that were forced directly against him by the compression of the car's frame, so he wasn't just knocked around but literally crushed. So of course it did a lot more damage. This was a case where the small-scale test just wasn't a valid analogue for the real event.
Favorite bits: A battering ram with SCIENCE on it, and Jamie saying "It's clobbering time."
"Hypermiling": I'm surprised the car got better mileage at 45 than 55. I recently learned that the reason the US highway speed limit was set at 55 MPH during the Carter Administration was not for safety reasons as I'd always thought, but because there was a nationwide fuel shortage at the time and the cars of the era got the best gas mileage at 55 MPH. It would be surprising if modern cars, which are theoretically more streamlined, would get their peak mileage at a lower speed.
That technique of accelerating and decelerating slowly is something I do anyway as a matter of course, particularly since I learned how much gas a car uses when it accelerates (courtesy of my aunt and uncle's hybrid minivan with a display that shows you your estimated gas mileage while you drive). I had no idea there was a nickname for it, though. I don't turn off the engine at stop lights, though I sometimes shift into neutral if it's a long light -- not sure how much of a difference that makes, though. And yet somehow I still manage to get worse mileage than I'd like (though I just filled up today and calculated my mileage, and I managed to maintain c. 20 MPG in mostly city driving since my last fill-up, which is better than usual for my car).
As for not braking on turns, no, thank you -- I'll take the loss for safety's sake. It'd be better to get a car with regenerative braking, as I think it's called -- that system that captures some of the lost energy from braking and puts it back in the battery or whatever.
And is removing the side mirror legal? That's surprising. I guess a lot of people get their mirrors knocked off by accident, so maybe it has to be legal so they're still able to drive; but it doesn't seem like it would be all that safe.
The disturbing thing was that the 5-years-older car (I think that's the one Tory was driving) got so much better mileage than the brand-new car. That seems like the wrong direction to be trending.
Surprised somebody hadn't heard T-boned before! Now you have to use the expression in a story.
Trucks ramming cars is always fun, and yeah, the big SCIENCE ram was hysterical! I too was surprised that it was actually worse with the extra people.
The mileage test was just as boring as all previous mileage tests, though. At least Kari was there to look at while I yawned. Driving at 45 is NOT an option on NJ highways. If you're not doing at least 65 here, you're causing a traffic jam. And anybody who doesn't take off the instant the light turns green will be getting a push.
In Finland you don't necessarily need to have the passenger side mirror if you have a rear view mirror installed and there is adequate visibility through the rear window. Conversely, you don't need to see through the rear window if you have the passenger side mirror installed. Regulations might be similar in California.
I think the reason why the newer car had so much worse mileage is that the newer car has a lot more electronics in it. Electric devices make the car heavier and consume more power, so the engine has to work harder, which consumes more gas.
Most anywhere I know of you only need the driver's side-view mirror. It used to, actually, be an OPTION to get the passenger mirror.
The point here isn't so much to avoid breaking, but to avoid accelerating more than you need to in the first place, and if a corner is coming up, to lower your speed by going off the gas in anticipation of having to reduce your speed.
^Well, I do that anyway, but often it doesn't diminish your speed enough by the time you get to the curve. And you saw how Kari was reacting -- it was pretty harrowing to make the turns at the higher speed. I'd think the loss of calm would cancel out a lot of the benefit from not braking.
Apropos of nothing, I'm consantly driving behind people on our local roads who are driving at 30 MPH (10 below the limit), and who hit the brakes as they go around even the gentlest of curves. I usually don't even have to brake even when I'm behind them, 'cause, well, we're only doing 30MPH for chrissake!
[/NJ driving rant]
Ugh, this week's episode is combining two things I don't like. One is the kind of episode that's a crossover with/promotion for another Discovery Channel show, something that's happening far too often lately (and a tightrope walker? Seriously?). The other is the "duct tape survival" format. I didn't like the previous one and I don't like this one much better. I mean, they've already proven that duct tape is useful. They're not really doing any mythbusting with things like this; it reduces it to just a typical Discovery "building stuff" show. Indeed, since they fictionalize the premise, it kind of works against the spirit of busting myths.
There was a bit of the ol' experimental process at the river, though, with the test of the bubble-wrap flotation suit (which was a total bust) and the designs of the boats. For once, Adam's design seemed a lot more elegant and practical than Jamie's. But the pretense of their being stranded bothered me, because it meant they were riding the rapids without helmets or padding. And those duct-tape life jackets looked suspiciously like real life jackets disguised with duct tape.
And really, why even bother running the rapids or climbing down that second cliff? They'd already gotten proof of concept for the boats and the climbing rig. There was no science there, it was just "Let's pretend we're a Discovery survival show."
The problem is that the Discovery Channel has mutated around Mythbusters during the decade it's been on the air. When the show began, Discovery was still at least somewhat a science-oriented channel. Now it's just macho stuff that's mostly about either building things, wilderness survival, or explosions. And that creates too much pressure for Mythbusters to follow suit.
Yeah, usually I watch the show with focused attention, but last night, it was just more or less playing in the background as I puttered upon the computer.
You mention the possibly disguised industry standard life jackets. I wonder if the duct tape "rope" was really disguising a certified rock climbing rope...for safety and liability contracts. Which leads one to wonder how many of those shots were really Adam and Jamie. I will admit at least one or two of those shots with Adam thrown from his canoe and rolling through the rapids really looked like Adam. If it were a stunt double, the production certainly matched the performers better than some other shows.
And the show always loses a few points from me when Kari is not present.
Separate names with a comma.

ATU (2-3) jumped to a quick 8-2 lead at the 15:50 mark in the first half on a layup from by Bobby Hatchett. Missouri Southern (4-3) then went on a 7-2 run to come back to within one point (10-9) with 13:32 left in the first half on a layup made by Marquis Addison.
The Wonder Boys responded quickly with an 8-0 (18-9) run to take their largest lead of the game. Morgan Smith made a free throw for MSSU with 9:01 remaining in the first half to end the run. MSSU would fight back to make it 21-16 at the 5:22 mark and Matt Everson would make the only basket in the last five minutes of the half to go into halftime with Arkansas Tech leading 22-16. Missouri Southern shot just 25.9 percent (7-27) in the first half from the floor while the Wonder Boys shot 30.8 percent (8-26).
The two teams came out firing early on making it 27-21 with ATU on top in the first two minutes of the second half. MSSU would climb their way back to within one point several times before finally taking the lead 35-33 with 13:52 left in the game. The two teams traded baskets for the next five minutes and a 3-pointer by Alan Jones would pull the Wonder Boys to within one point again with 9:20 to go.
A pivotal steal by Missouri Southern's Morgan Smith led to a foul and two made free throws for the Lions to go up by five (45-40) with eight minutes left in the game. A 3-point basket by Willie Kirkland and another layup from Hatchett cut MSSU's lead to just 2 points (47-45) with 6:50 remaining, but Arkansas Tech could never regain the lead. After several made free-throws from the Lions, Missouri Southern would take it in the end, 58-50.
The Wonder Boys held Missouri Southern to just 40.4 percent from the floor but it wasn't enough as the ATU shot just 29.8 percent. The Wonder Boys outrebounded Missouri Southern on the offensive glass 13-10 but Missouri Southern finished with 30 defensive rebounds to lead the rebounding category 40-36.
Arkansas Tech will return to action at 7:30 p.m. Thursday against Southeastern Oklahoma for a conference matchup in Durant, Okla.

Voice Of Russia

The Russian Planetary Defense Center will need a maximum of 7 years to create a system that would protect the Earth against meteors and other space debris. At present, scientists have 24 scenarios to save the planet from Near-Earth Objects. In addition to technology, people should be prepared for meteor disasters as well.
A global set of meteor defense measures includes more than 20 variants of dealing with meteoroids, comets and other space objects that pose a potential threat to the Earth. Russia's space experts and emergency workers believe that a system that guarantees people protection against meteor impacts should be dealt with first, particularly following the meteor strike of several days ago when radars were powerless to help. A whole network of shelters and bunkers should be built to secure protection against meteorites. In addition, a number of satellites will be sent to orbit in the next few years to track dangerous objects flying by. A Voice of Russia correspondent met with Anatoly Zaitsev, director of the Planetary Defense Center.
"The satellites should be provided with telescopes. Flying debris cannot always be detected from the Earth because astronomers can observe only the dark side of the sky from the Earth. Reconnaissance satellites are also needed to explore the nature of the debris. These 'scout rockets', which will follow the shortest trajectories, will provide data needed to organize the launch of interceptor rockets. The objects that pose a danger to the Earth should be pushed off their trajectories or destroyed."

"On behalf of The Onion, I offer my personal apology to Quvenzhané Wallis and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the tweet that was circulated last night during the Oscars. It was crude and offensive—not to mention inconsistent with The Onion's commitment to parody and satire, however biting."
"I thought there was a punch line at the end of this apology ... What gives? They jokingly called a girl a cuss word? How is this a big deal. ... Are they going to start apologizing to everyone now? Long list!"
"Telling comedy writers that they can now be 'disciplined' for telling jokes that fall well within The Onion's established parameters, just because a lot of humorless people happened to be paying attention at the moment a particular joke hit—that's a new low."

What makes a full life?
James Pedrick, global youth engagement manager for World Vision, discusses Live Life -- a six-week campaign for youth and university/college students around the world to experience Easter and Lent in a new way.
* * *
What makes a full life? Is it full of activities or good deeds; the lack of worry or concern; or having power and success?
Jesus said he came so that we could each "have life and have it to the full" (John 10:10) -- but if you're like me, you don't always feel like you're experiencing life in all its fullness.
Regardless of our faith, where we live, or how much money we have, we all struggle with what it means to experience a full life and whether we are truly living the life God intended.
A few months ago, I had the chance to visit Albania. In Albania and many other developing countries, World Vision organizes youth clubs that bring youth together to learn life skills and advocate for change in their communities.
If I had asked them what fullness of life meant to them, I assume many would discuss the economic difficulties faced by their communities, mention some of the differences between their lives and mine, or point to the messages exported from American pop culture.
But I don't think that's what Jesus meant.
I don't think he was referring to the American dream of health, wealth, and happiness. Jesus modeled a life of love -- love that sacrifices for others, proclaims good news to the poor, and welcomes the outcast. And that's why I'm so excited about our upcoming campaign called Live Life.
* * *
For the past few years, World Vision has offered U.S. youth, college students, and young adults a campaign for the Lenten journey to Easter. As part of a new initiative to connect young people around the world -- across geographical boundaries and socioeconomic barriers -- World Vision is making this campaign global. Live Life will feature six weekly challenges, stories of youth making a difference from countries around the world, and the ability for each person to share how they are uniquely participating.
Youth, who have already signed up from more than 60 countries, will dive into the life and ministry of Jesus, his journey to the cross, and what his death and resurrection means for our lives.
They'll also share their lives with one another, what they are learning in their Easter journey, and how they are responding in their own communities.
Whether you are young or young at heart, you are invited to join us and share this opportunity with others. The journey begins on Ash Wednesday, February 13.

DETROIT - Jimmy Howard made 33 saves for his first shutout of the season, and Drew Miller scored an early goal as the Detroit Red Wings snapped a season-high, five-game losing streak with a 4-0 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.
Three of the losses in the Red Wings' skid came after they led 2-0. Tomas Tatar gave Detroit a two-goal lead early in the second and Niklas Kronwall made it a three-goal cushion late in the period.
Pekka Rinne gave up those three goals on just 17 shots and finished with 23 saves for the Predators. Nashville, playing on consecutive nights, has lost two straight and four of five.
Detroit didn't waste its first 3-0 lead of the season, but instead added to it with Daniel Cleary's goal on a power play midway through the third period.
The Predators had won seven of eight games against Detroit, including last year's first-round playoff series.
Miller scored off a rebound 5:11 into the game to perhaps relax the reeling Red Wings. Tatar lifted a loose puck high and into the net 2:58 into the second period.
Kronwall's one-timer fluttered past Rinne, who had an obstructed view of the shot as Detroit's Daniel Cleary was tangled up with teammate Scott Hannan in front. That gave the Red Wings a 3-0 lead at 15:33 of the second.
The Red Wings didn't need another goal to win, but they were desperate for some success on the power play. They got some when Cleary raised his stick to redirect Kronwall's slap shot.
Detroit had scored only one goal on 17 power plays during its losing streak.
