Extra Tooth
My 18 month old son has an extra tooth. It is located in the front near his eye tooth. It's fully out. Do you think I should get it pulled or wait to see if it falls out on its own?
Thanks for the question. I would have it evaluated by a pediatric dentist -- in some cases, an 'extra tooth' can actually be a normal tooth in the incorrect position.
In other cases there may be a partial or total fusion with another tooth. A pediatric dentist (or a general dentist who is trained in treating young children) will be able to provide a comprehensive 'treatment plan' to monitor or possibly remove the extra tooth.
Hope that helps.

The end is here.
Every week since April 2009, I took a different CTA bus in an attempt to ride every route from end to end. The project ended Thursday after 139 routes.
After more than 2 1/2 years of riding buses, I have picked up some wisdom (and a deep appreciation for personal space).
>> Some bus drivers aren't just drivers—they also serve as confidants. It's interesting to watch the dynamic between rider and driver. Many riders ignore drivers while some chat away with them as they steer the bus. On one University of Chicago route, a bus driver asked riders about a female rider who wasn't on the bus. The riders said she was running a few minutes behind. The driver waited for her.
>> If bus drivers are driving faster than their schedule, some will stop at green lights just to get back on schedule. This can be frustrating to riders who just want to get to their destinations.
>> Customer service as a whole is good. Bus drivers are multitaskers. They have to drive the bus, watch traffic and help riders who need assistance amid noise and crowds on the bus. Very few times did I see a rude driver.
>> Riders, on the other hand, aren't always polite. There are riders who throw their food on the floor, yell at the driver or other passengers, loudly talk or play music on their cellphones and bang on the windows if they miss their stop.
>> Priority seating is intended for the elderly and people with disabilities, but even if you fall into these categories there's still some dispute over who should sit where. After suffering a stress fracture last year, I became acquainted with the priority seating system and witnessed arguments over who in that area was "more disabled" and deserved the coveted seat at the front of the bus next to the space where bags can be placed.
>> There are few amenities at CTA stations that double as bus depots such as the Midway Orange and 95th Red stops. There are a couple of heaters to share at the 95th Red Line stop, and while riders can wait for their bus inside the Midway stop, it can get pretty chilly in there as well.
>> There are some oddly placed bus stops. The No. 54B South Cicero travels between the Ford City Mall and Cermak/Kenton, a nondescript stop by an auto store and blocks away from the Cicero Pink Line. The No. 152-Addison travels on Addison Street between the lake shore and a Cumberland Avenue stop by Schiller Woods.
>> CTA buses are the cheapest and easiest way to get to know Chicago. And if you decide to ride all of them, just remember that patience and hand washing go a long way.
"L"-ebrate New Year's
The CTA will again offer New Year's rides for a penny from 10 p.m. Saturday until 4 a.m. Sunday. To avoid paying full fare, riders should pay the fare with a penny and not with their Chicago Cards. Meanwhile, Miller Lite is offering free shuttle service in the Loop and on the North Side from 7 p.m. Saturday until 2 a.m. Sunday. Visit millerlitefreerides.com for information.
My pledge to ride every CTA bus line concludes. I rode the No. 85A-North Central last week and boiled my review down to a tweet.
@tracyswartz 17 mins from Jefferson Park Blue Line to Touhy/Lehigh. Runs about every half an hour. Bus fills quickly with CTA employees. Stops by Metra.
139 routes down, 0 to go!

When two promising North Central Missouri Conference rivals and schools assigned to Class 4 District 6 met Friday posting identical records and mirror-like team stats this football season, pregame talk certainly would include a very competitive and close battle was about to take place on the field.
A full moon coupled with an exhilarating spirit of Homecoming being celebrated during the week leading up to the big game certainly would favor the home team.
While those ideas may carry weight to reasoning, the fact of the matter is the Spartans were simply the better football team. Moberly demonstrated that identity before a packed Dr. Larry K. Noel Spartans Stadium.
The mighty Spartans came up with five turnovers - including a couple of picks by Brandon Elkins - and Moberly capitalized on an estimated 115 yards worth of penalties racked up by Marshall, and the Spartans celebrated its 2012 Homecoming with a convincing 41-12 victory against the Owls.
"We were pretty sluggish in our play in the first half, but really stepped things up in the second half with our kids doing a good job both offensively and defensively," said Moberly football coach Jason Ambroson. "What kept us ahead in the first half, in my opinion, was the penalties Marshall was creating. They had a lack of discipline allowed us to keep the game close. Otherwise, I think Marshall would have been up by two touchdowns at halftime. Realistically, penalties stopped some scoring drives in the first half and that trend carried over to the second half. Their mistakes kept us in the ball game, and ultimately we capitalized on them to win this football game."
The win gave Moberly (5-1, 3-0 NCMC) stronger security of having a fourth-position spot and a first round home game when district seeding are released in three weeks for the playoffs.
After a scoreless first quarter last Friday, the Owls' first turnover of the game - a fumble recovered by senior Kalob Hesson - led to a Moberly score in the second period.
Starting from the Marshall 41, the Spartans marched down field and would score when junior quarterback Justin Connaway followed the lead blocks established by Matt McCune and Mickey Sires to run the football up the gut for a 4-yard touchdown with 8:40 remaining.
Marshall (4-2, 3-1 NCMC) did not let Moberly fans enjoy that moment long.
On the first play from scrimmage on the Owls' ensuing possession, senior quarterback Alex Maupin ran the football to his left around the corner and made a swift cut right crossing toward the opposite side of the field running untouched 64 yards for a touchdown.
Shortly after this score and Moberly leading 7-6, the Spartans would be without the services of one of its leading tacklers and main kicker when senior linebacker/kicker Ricky Webb exited the game with a left shoulder injury. Sophomore Gregg Bain took over kicking duties and he made good on 4-of-5 PATs during the game.
Moberly put together an impressive 90-yard scoring drive that ate up nearly 6 minutes of the clock to take a 13-6 lead with them into halftime.
Connaway connected with Elkins on a couple of passing plays that netted 38 yards during the 10-play drive that was capped on a strong 28-yard rushing touchdown by Bain with 2:25 left.
Once again, Marshall bounced right back and threatened to score with a long scoring drive of its own before the half ended, but Elkins clipped the Owls' wings with his first of two interceptions of the game.
The 6'2 linebacker Elkins snatched Maupin's pass near midfield and returned it about 30 yards giving Moberly the football with 0:46 remaining before the break in action.
"We talked about a lot of things in the locker room at halftime, and we came out making those adjustments on the field in the second half," said coach Ambroson. "Anytime a team can come up with five or six turnovers in a game like we did, it really helps. What that did to Marshall and the fact they ended up having so many penalties in the game, that it forced Marshall to do things offensively that they probably are not too comfortable with in doing. And that is throwing the football. We got up on them by two scores, and they knew they needed to do something quick to get back into the game and were forced to pass. We were fortunate to have about three key interceptions to help stop them from being a scoring threat because their strength lies in being a power running team."
Read the full game story in the Monday, Oct. 1 issue of the newspaper.
NOTE: Coming up in Week 7 the Spartans travel this Friday to battle undefeated and sixth-ranked Hannibal (6-0, 4-0 NCMC). The Pirates football team has been a nemesis of Spartans for many years as Moberly has only beaten Hannibal once in at least the past 18 seasons.
During the Spartans' magical 2007 football season when the team went 11-1 while reaching the Class 3 state quarterfinals, Moberly defeated Hannibal 39-22.
"I think most of us know that Hannibal seems to always have a good football team, and they are doing very well this year too," said Moberly senior Brandon Elkins after the game. "We will need to put together our best practices of the season next week and play our best football when we play them next Friday. If we all continue to work hard, doing the things that each of us are suppose to do in a game I like our chances of defeating Hannibal. If we can do that, it would be huge win for our team."

Nashua duck case: Two aldermen seek commissioner's resignationBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
January 19. 2014 10:08PM
NASHUA — Two city officials say Police Commissioner Thomas Pappas should resign because of his involvement with state Rep. David Campbell and an accident in which the lawmaker ran over and killed five ducks.
"Commissioner Pappas should resign, but does not seem inclined to do so," said Alderman Ken Siegel, Ward 9. "... Now, we can only sit idly by and hope that the governor puts ethics ahead of politics."
Members of Nashua's police commission are appointed by the governor.
According to a police report, Campbell had a couple of drinks at a Crowne Plaza restaurant Dec. 23 and then ran over several mallard ducks with his BMW outside the hotel. Pappas, Campbell's friend and attorney, then picked up Campbell from the hotel.
Pappas contacted the police department about two hours after the accident to ask if Campbell could come to the police station the next day.
Campbell pleaded no contest to a charge of illegal taking of waterfowl. He was not charged with drunk driving, and has repeatedly said he was not intoxicated.
"I think the honorable thing would be to step away," Alderman-at-Large Diane Sheehan said of Pappas. "If he is in charge of deciding what is ethical for the police department, then I agree — I think the level of ethics we ask police to stand up to should be followed by its leadership, which needs to do the same."
Pappas, chairman of the Nashua Police Commission, has remained silent about his involvement in Campbell's accident, and has not returned repeated phone calls and emails seeking comment. The remaining two police commissioners — Thomas Maffee and Robert Valade — also are not commenting.
Attorney General Joe Foster said last week that his department is reviewing police reports and audio recordings from the incident to determine whether a further probe is necessary. However, Foster said an official investigation has not yet been opened. Police Chief John Seusing has maintained that Pappas' intervention did not influence Campbell's case.
"The Nashua Police Department looked into this incident at the Crowne Plaza thoroughly, and charged Mr. Campbell with what we thought was the most appropriate charge," Seusing said last week.
Campbell has repeatedly apologized for the incident. He paid a fine of $620 for the violation, a $75 restitution payment and a donation of $695 to New Hampshire Audubon.

History and Old Stuff...
When I was a little girl studying Nebraska in 4th grade, I had never seen Chimney Rock (or Scotts Bluff or any of the other curious rock formations that are scattered across the Platte Valley in Western Nebraska.)
However, I would have recognized Chimney Rock instantly, had I seen it. I had been thoroughly schooled about its distinctive silhouette and its significance as a landmark to travelers across the prairie.
A textbook from the era of my education gives the following description of Chimney Rock:
Out near Bayard, in Morrill County, beside the old Mormon Trail, a huge rock rises from the plain like a giant chimney. It is 120 feet high and is made of clay with layers of red and white sandstone. It can be seen for thirty miles and is now a well-known monument. In the early days, it served as a guide for the travelers who were on their way west.
What a tale it could tell if it could but speak-- a tale of prairie schooners and stagecoach days. A tale of railroads, highways, and of airways!
Not far from this famous landmark passed the travelers along the Oregon and Mormon trails. Past this, too, went the Pony Express riders on their way to the West.
Clara O. Wilson, Alice M. Cusack, and Clara Evans in A Child's Story of Nebraska, published in 1948 by the Lincoln Publishing Company, Lincoln. P. 139.
Scott Bayard, writing for the Associated Press in a July 15, 2006, article titled "Nebraska's Popular Chimney Rock Eroding," says, "An 1830 fur caravan resulted in the first written recorded reference to Chimney Rock and the first artistic rendering that survives dates to 1837. Of the hundreds of letters and diaries from the period, Chimney Rock is mentioned more than any other natural feature."
The westward-bound who reached Chimney Rock surely were grateful for the progress they had made. As they looked to the west, they knew that the easiest miles of the trail were ending and the hard trek through the Rockies was near at hand. Like all milestones in life, it was a moment to look both backward and forward and then to square the shoulders and forge ahead.
Nebraska's new state quarter has a picture of Chimney Rock and a covered wagon. It was a wise choice because it is a symbol that every native Nebraskan understands and shares. The words "Chimney Rock" bring to mind the crayon sketches and papier mache models we once made of this unique formation.
Furthermore, the Nebraska quarter immortalizes a natural wonder that won't be there forever. The geological forces that gave Chimnney Rock its famous upside-down funnel shape are still at work. As the soft clay layers continue to erode, the long thin "chimney" will gradually crumble away -- or perhaps it will simply break off one day.
So says Scott Bayard in his AP article. I suppose he's right, but perhaps the erosion is affecting the girth of the chimney more than its height.
The following sentences in Bayard's article are curious, considering that the height of the rock was said to be 120 feet in the 1948 textbook I quoted above. "The spire has lost about 30 feet in the past 150 years. It currently measures 325 feet from tip to base, with the spire measuring 120 feet, according to the Nebraska State Historical Society."
I hope I get to see Chimney Rock again while it is still standing. I haven't been out there since I was attending college at Chadron, Nebraska, and was dating a boy from Scottsbluff. That was 1970.

SOURCE: NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership
December 27, 2012 17:52 ET
LOUISVILLE, KY--(Marketwire - Dec 27, 2012) - (NYSE MKT: NLP) -- NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership ("NTS" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with entities created and controlled by J.D. Nichols, the founder and Chairman of NTS, and Brian F. Lavin, the President and CEO of NTS. Upon consummation of the merger, all of the outstanding partnership units of NTS not owned by Messrs. Nichols and Lavin and their affiliates would convert into $7.50 per unit in cash.
The transaction results from extensive negotiations between Messrs. Nichols and Lavin and a Special Committee of independent directors of NTS Realty Capital, Inc., the managing general partner of NTS, formed September 12, 2012 in response to a "going private" proposal made on August 31, 2012 by Messrs. Nichols and Lavin to acquire all publicly held units of NTS for $5.25 per unit. The final price of $7.50 per unit represents a 43% premium above their original $5.25 proposal and a 144% premium above the closing price of $3.07 for NTS units on the last trading day prior to the publication of Messrs. Nichols and Lavin's August 31 proposal.
The merger is conditioned on a "majority of the minority" voting provision, which requires approval by holders of a majority of NTS outstanding units not held by the purchasers. The transaction is also subject to other customary closing conditions, including the receipt of financing by the purchasers that is sufficient to pay the merger consideration and related expenses of the transaction. The purchasers have obtained a debt commitment letter from an unaffiliated financing source on commercially standard terms. The merger and related transactions are expected to be completed in the first half of 2013. However, there can be no assurance that the merger agreement will be approved by the unitholders, that the purchasers will receive sufficient financing or that the merger will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all.
The Board of Directors of the general partner of NTS, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, unanimously approved the merger agreement and has recommended that unitholders of NTS vote to approve the merger. After careful consideration and a thorough review with its independent advisors, the Special Committee determined that the transaction is in the best interests of the unitholders of NTS (other than the purchasers). The Special Committee's independent financial advisor has delivered a written opinion to the effect that as of December 27, the merger consideration is fair from a financial point of view to the unitholders of NTS (other than the purchasers). This determination by the Special Committee's financial advisor was based on, and is subject to, assumptions and limitations set forth in the written opinion.
Messrs. Nichols and Lavin received legal advice from Fore, Miller & Schwartz.
The Special Committee received financial advice from Centerboard Securities, LLC and legal advice from Stites & Harbison PLLC.
NTS received legal advice from Shefsky & Froelich Ltd.
Interested parties are urged to read relevant documents, when and if filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission because they will contain important information. NTS will file a proxy statement and other documents regarding the proposed merger with the SEC, and the definitive proxy statement will be sent to unitholders seeking their approval of the matters discussed above at a special meeting of unitholders. Unitholders are urged to read the proxy statement and any other relevant document when they become available because they will contain important information about NTS, the proposed merger and related matters. Interested parties may obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement (when available) and other documents filed by us with the SEC at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
The Company, its managing general partner and its managing general partner's directors, executive officers and other members of its management and employees (including Messrs. Nichols and Lavin) may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from the unitholders of the Company in connection with the proposed transactions. Information regarding the special interests of persons who may be deemed to be such participants in the proposed transactions will be included in the proxy statement described above. Additional information regarding the directors and executive officers of the Company and its managing general partner is also included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which was filed with the SEC on March 23, 2012, and subsequent statements of changes in beneficial ownership on file with the SEC. These documents are available free of charge at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.

A principled decision
I was elected to public office 26 years ago, as a city councilman in Warwick. I was grateful to the voters for trusting a Republican to look after my mostly Democratic constituents, and I always tried to live up to their expectations by seeking the best of both traditions. Like most Republicans of that era, I supported a more modest approach to government spending, and doing more with less. Like most Democrats, I also believed in a safety net, and helping people make the most of their lives, with affordable health care, good schools and decent wages. I tried to defend all of my constituents, Republican and Democrat, against the large moneyed interests who were always good at angling for an advantage – an easement here, a regulation neglected there. I cared about the environment, too, a tradition that is at least as Republican as Democratic. How can you grow up in Rhode Island and not love Narragansett Bay?
I felt that I was exactly where I wanted to be – proud of my moderate Republican roots, but attuned to the needs of my lunch pail Democratic constituents. I also thought it worked in Rhode Island, nearly a one-party state, to have a few principled Republicans here and there, keeping an eye on the till. In the jobs that followed – mayor of Warwick, and then senator, I always tried to follow the same path.
But in my years in the Senate, that path grew narrower. I constantly found myself at odds with the Bush Administration. I had not changed – but my party had. Like my father before me, I occupied what was once a crowded branch of the GOP – New Englanders who were dedicated to fiscal responsibility. The job of government, we believed, was to keep the books, with minimal intrusion into our personal lives. We believed in environmental protection, in growing the middle class through education and quality health care, in avoiding costly foreign wars.
We were right to care about the environment, because in no time at all we became an endangered species. The Bush Administration was squandering President Clinton's surpluses on two reckless wars, tax cuts for the wealthy and higher costs for Medicare. In the face of tremendous GOP pressure, I voted against each of these. I paid a price, in the anger of the Bush White House, and in lack of support from some Republican factions. But my conscience told me that my party was going in the wrong direction. The party of fiscal discipline was spending wildly on war while cutting revenues. The party of privacy and decency was spying on Americans at home and abusing human rights abroad. The party of modest foreign policy had abused our alliances and brought America's stature in the world to an all-time low.
Despite my voting record, which I stand by to this day, I was defeated in 2006, as part of the broad rejection of Republicans in that election cycle, and after a costly primary from the right. The following year, I disaffiliated from the Republicans and endorsed then-Senator Barack Obama's candidacy for President. With Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower, I co-chaired Republicans and independents for Obama and campaigned for the freshman senator in swing states such as Florida, Ohio and New Hampshire.
I made this decision because I had worked with then-Senator Obama on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and came to know a man who believed, as I did, that America was quickly losing its hard-earned position in the international community. That our foreign policy was increasingly one of arrogance and recklessness, and less one of cooperation and common purpose. In short, I endorsed Barack Obama because his values aligned with mine, and that remains the case today.
In 2010, I successfully ran for Governor of Rhode Island as an independent. In the time since, despite inheriting extremely difficult circumstances, I have worked every day to make Rhode Island a better place to live, work and raise a family. There is no question that challenges remain, but I am proud of the progress we have made. In my time as governor, we have dramatically increased funding for public education. We have successfully instituted a tuition freeze at the Community College of Rhode Island, Rhode Island College and the University of Rhode Island to make college more affordable for Rhode Island families. We have launched new workforce development programs and initiatives to boost the skills of Rhode Islanders looking for work. We are investing in our infrastructure to improve the quality of our roads and bridges while getting Rhode Island construction workers back to work. We have preserved thousands of acres of open space and expanded our renewable energy portfolio. We have restored aid to cities and towns to help keep property taxes down for Rhode Island homeowners. We are leading the nation in implementing President Obama's Affordable Care Act to make health care more accessible and affordable for individuals and employers. We have extended the freedom to marry to all Rhode Islanders, regardless of sexual orientation.
Education. Infrastructure. Workforce development. Tax relief for middle class Rhode Islanders. Quality, affordable health care. Environmental protection. Tolerance of diversity. These are my priorities and guiding principles as governor. They are the same priorities I have always had, since I started my career as a Republican. But as I survey the political landscape, I realize that these priorities are overwhelmingly the priorities of one party – the Democrats. The Republican platform of 2012 clearly rejected these ideas, and there is little hope of moderation making a comeback in a political echo chamber dominated by extremist pundits, huge corporate donors and a Congress that seems to enjoy its own dysfunction.
I have enjoyed being an independent, a word that resonates in Rhode Island, and I appreciate the support that I have received from both parties in my career so far. But in my time as governor, I have come to realize that it is going to take a team effort to defend Rhode Islanders against the big moneyed interests.
Therefore, after much contemplation, I have chosen to join the Democratic Party. I want to support President Obama's agenda, the Democratic governors' agenda, and the Rhode Island Congressional delegation's agenda – and I can most effectively do that as a Democrat. Many people have asked me what my father – a lifelong Republican – would think of my decision to join the Democratic Party. And I can say with confidence that Dad would be proud. Because he was pro-choice, for environmental protection and supported common-sense gun control measures, the GOP was leaving him behind even in the 1990s. In fact, in 1990, Dad lost his leadership position within the Party to a conservative senator from Mississippi. The truth is that Dad's principles and my principles – those I've always had – reflect those of today's Democratic Party, and are fundamentally at odds with those of today's Republican Party.
My dad chose to name me after one of his heroes, Abraham Lincoln, father of the Republican Party. I recently came across a quote attributed to my namesake that I believe is fitting for the decision I have made.
"I am not bound to win," he said, "but I am bound to be true … I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him when he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."
As long as Democratic leaders all across this country are standing for what is right – for growing the middle class, for education, for identifying smart and constructive strategies to get our people back to work, for asking everyone to pay their fair share, for tolerance of diversity – I will stand with them.
This isn't about politics; it's about principles. For nearly three decades, I have been in public service to do what is right for the people of Rhode Island. Today, with this decision, I believe I am advancing that cause.
Gov. Chaffee,
You are an embarrassment to all of Rhode Island. Every time you open your mouth you bring more embarrassment to us. It almost seems as if you are having a sroke when you try to speak. You make little to no sense to the average person, and no sense at all to anyone who is paying attention to the real issues. I would like to see you complete a random drug screening as I believe that you would fail, thereby justiying your convoluted behavior.

High-flying Lehigh will be a test for UNHBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 27. 2013 10:37PM
Break time is over.
Many college football teams will have played five games by the time Saturday is over.
The University of New Hampshire is a bit behind. The Wildcats did not play the first weekend of the season and then were off last week.
Now it's all systems go for the next nine weeks, starting with road games at undefeated Lehigh on Saturday and Towson next Saturday.
UNH must slow down Lehigh senior quarterback Brandon Bialkowski, who had not thrown a pass before this season, and his high-powered offense this afternoon.
"He does a real good job distributing the ball," said UNH senior defensive tackle Sean McCann. "He moves well in the pocket. He doesn't look to run first. He's looking to get the ball to his receivers, his playmakers"
He's got a big-time playmaker in Lee Kurfis, a 6-foot-2 senior wide receiver. In three games, Kurfis has 30 catches, is tops in the country at 195 yards a game and has four touchdowns.
Bialkowski has completed 84 of his 125 passes for 1,171 yards and has thrown nine touchdown passes and been intercepted four times.
"It's got to be a collective team effort," said UNH coach Sean McDonnell. "The front four have got to be able to stop the run and more importantly generate a pass rush. The minute you start adding people in (to the rush) on these guys, they find out where they're coming from and slide the protections. You start coming at them in man-to-man situations, they go to the screen game. They find a matchup they're comfortable with and it's 1-2-3 throw. They're not holding on to it very much."
Lehigh is averaging 398.7 yards a game passing, which is second-best in the nation in FCS and is at 524.7 yards of total offense which is sixth best.
The Mountain Hawks are also giving up 500.3 yards of offense a game.
Lehigh is 3-0 with close, come-from-behind wins over Central Connecticut (51-44 in overtime), Monmouth (28-25) and Princeton (29-28) and is ranked No. 21 in The Sports Network poll and No. 18 in the FCS Coaches' poll.
UNH, 1-1 after a 27-24 loss at Central Michigan and 53-23 win over Colgate, is ranked No. 10 by The Sports Network and is tied for No. 7 in the Coaches' poll
The Wildcats get a few players back from injury, thanks in part to having last week off.
Running backs Chris Setian, a senior, and Jimmy Owens, a junior, are ready to go along with sophomore wide receiver Mike Detroia. Setian sprained his knee against Central Michigan, and Owens and Detroia have not yet played this year.
Senior defensive back Chris Houston remains out with a foot injury and junior safety Tre William and offensive lineman Sean Ryan, a senior out of Londonderry, are still sidelined.
Andy Vailas, the junior quarterback out of Bedford and Bishop Guertin High School in Nashua, has completed 34 of his 51 passes (64.2 percent) for 369 yards and three touchdowns. He has thrown one interception.
UNH is minus-two in turnovers. The Wildcats have lost three fumbles and two interceptions. They have intercepted three passes, but have not recovered an opponent's fumble.

VANCOUVER, BC - In the second leg of their 2012 Amway Canadian Championship semifinal, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2W-0L-0D in ACC) defeated North American Soccer League (NASL) side FC Edmonton (0W-2L-0D in ACC) 3-1 on Wednesday evening to advance to the final 5-1 on aggregate.
Despite falling behind to an early second-half goal from FC Edmonton's Yashir Pinto on Bell Pitch at BC Place, Whitecaps FC secured their spot in the two-leg final with three goals from two substitutes in the last quarter-hour of the match, with Davide Chiumiento assisting on all three goals. Sebastien Le Toux scored the first two before youngster Darren Mattocks ensured a fifth-straight victory in all competitions for Vancouver with his first goal as a professional.
Victory for the Blue and White takes them into the ACC final for a second year in a row, where they will again face Major League Soccer rivals Toronto FC over two legs for the Voyageurs Cup title. The 'Caps will host TFC at BC Place next Wednesday night, May 16, before playing the decisive second leg at Toronto's BMO Field on Wednesday, May 23.
"I'm happy to get our fifth win in a row and to get ourselves into a final," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "I thought the way we finished the game was excellent. It was good to get Mattocks and Etienne into the game after they both have been out with long injuries. I thought they contributed a lot, as did Sebastien. It's nice for us to be in the final of the competition and it's obviously a significant moment in the club's history."
Rennie made four changes to the side that started last Wednesday's first leg at Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium. Captain Jay DeMerit and Camilo Sanvezzo earned starts for the home side, while Floyd Franks made his first competitive start for Whitecaps FC in midfield. There was also a first start of 2012 for youngster Michael Nanchoff in the three-player attack.
With the BC Place roof open for the second leg, the 'Caps wore their all 'deep sea' blue kit for the match, while Edmonton dawned their all-white strip. The first half saw an impressive display from Edmonton, who had plenty of possession and the better goalscoring opportunities, despite Whitecaps FC actually getting the ball into the back of the net first on three minutes. However, Nanchoff's finish was ruled out for offside.
Looking to get back in the series, the NASL club worked hard to get forward and create chances. The best chance of the half fell to Edmonton youngster Michael Cox, who forced a great point-blank save from Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Brad Knighton on 19 minutes before Lam brought a fine diving save out of Knighton on 27 minutes.
While their attacking play did not flow as well as planned, Whitecaps FC had a couple of chances from Camilo. The Brazilian's best effort was on a free kick near the Edmonton box, but his set-piece was just off target on 34 minutes. It meant both sides went to halftime goalless, with the 'Caps still two goals up on aggregate.
That aggregate lead was cut in half by the game's opening goal on 54 minutes, as Edmonton shocked the 15,011 in attendance at BC Place by taking the lead. A fine cross from former Whitecaps FC Residency product Antonio Rago found Pinto in the Vancouver six-yard box. After getting in between two 'Caps defenders, the Chilean striker headed home FC Edmonton's first-ever goal versus Whitecaps FC to make it 2-1 on aggregate to Vancouver.
The goal made for some nervy moments from the MLS club, but it was in the latter stages of the game that Rennie used his three substitutes to positive effect. Etienne Barbara made his competitive debut when he came on, while Le Toux swung the game back in Vancouver's favour shortly after his introduction. The Frenchman levelled matters on 75 minutes when he took a cross-field ball from Chiumiento before beating Eddies defender Fabien Vorbe and slotting his finish past Edmonton goalkeeper David Monsalve for a 3-1 aggregate lead.
On 87 minutes, Barbara had a chance to open his 'Caps account from the penalty spot after being taken down in the visitors' box by Eddies centre back Paul Hamilton. The Maltese international took the spot kick, but Monsalve came well off his goal line to deflect the shot on to his own post and away to safety. It was only a temporary reprieve for Edmonton, as Le Toux scored his fifth goal of the season in all competitions when he headed home Chiumiento's well-played free kick at the near post for a 2-1 lead and a 4-1 aggregate advantage.
Whitecaps FC's final goal came in the third minute of stoppage time, as Mattocks struck home Chiumiento's byline cutback for his first competitive goal in professional soccer to seal a 3-1 win on the night and a 5-1 aggregate victory.
Whitecaps FC move on to the two-leg ACC final, where three-time Voyageurs Cup winners Toronto FC await Rennie's squad. The Reds got back to winning ways on Wednesday night with a decisive 2-0 home win over MLS rivals Montreal Impact for a 2-0 aggregate success (report link below).

Exhibit 99.1
Makes $60 Million Earn-Out Payment for Foodstar Business in China,
Resulting in a $0.04 EPS Impact in Third Quarter
PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 23, 2013--H.J. Heinz Company (NYSE:HNZ) announced today that it has made an early earn-out payment of $60 million to Transpac Industrial Holdings Ltd., a Singapore-based private equity holding company, and various Transpac Funds, the previous owners of Heinz's Foodstar business in China. Heinz acquired Foodstar in November 2010. The earn-out payment is in addition to the original purchase price of $165 million.
This payment, which is 20% higher than the original provision, is based on the outstanding financial performance of Foodstar in China and was accelerated from July 2014 based on the parties' decision that the objectives of the earn-out arrangement have now been achieved. Heinz will record this payment as a special item of $0.04 of earnings per share (EPS) in the fiscal third quarter, which ends January 27, 2013.
"Foodstar has delivered excellent results and has performed well beyond our expectations since joining Heinz. The business has grown to well over $200 million in sales and we continue to invest in the business to drive further growth," said Heinz Chairman, President and CEO William R. Johnson. "Led by Foodstar's Master soy sauce, our Ketchup and Sauces business in China more than doubled in Fiscal 2012. Heinz has received a strong return on our investment in Foodstar, which is well-positioned to deliver continued growth in China's $4 billion soy sauce market."
Foodstar manufactures, markets and sells soy sauce and fermented bean curd and has delivered dynamic growth since Heinz acquired the business from Transpac in November 2010. The company has five factories in China, including a state-of-the-art soy sauce factory in Shanghai.

Julie Anne Long's latest release, A Notorious Countess Confesses, will be in stores October 30. Avon is sharing this excerpt. Enjoy!
A Notorious Countess Confesses
More about the book:
She rose to spectacular heights . . .
From Covent Garden to courtesan to countess, beautiful, fearless, shamelessly ambitious Evie Duggan has riveted London in every role she plays. But the ton never could forgive her scandalous—if shockingly short—marriage, and when her star plummets amid gleefully vicious gossip, the countess escapes to the only legacy left to her: a manor house in Pennyroyal Green.
He never expected to fall so hard . . .
He has the face of a fallen angel and a smolder the devil would envy, but Vicar Adam Sylvaine walks a precarious line: resisting temptation . . . and the wild Eversea blood in his veins. Adam's strength is tested when scandal, aka the countess, moves to Sussex. But when a woman who fiercely guards her heart and a man entrusted with the souls of an entire town surrender to a forbidden desire, will the sweetest sin lead them to heaven . . . or make outcasts of them forever?

BEIJING — At 49, Wang Zeqiang has achieved the Chinese equivalent of the American dream. Raised in the cornfields of eastern China's Shandong province, he founded an auto parts business that today has several dozen employees. He has two houses, two cars and, because he's rich enough to pay the fines for defying the country's family planning policy, two children.
Now, all that is missing — what he covets most — is a foreign passport.
"In China, there is so much pressure," said Wang, who recently hired a consulting firm to advise him on his first choice, Australia. He hasn't been there yet, but he's been surfing the Internet and likes what he sees: blue skies, open spaces. "I want to live a relaxed, happy life."
The new Chinese emigres have little in common with earlier waves of unskilled laborers or political exiles. They're not going abroad for economic opportunity — they're already wildly successful — or political activism, but for a quality of life that money can't buy in China.
A recent poll of Chinese with a net worth of more than 10 million yuan ($1.6 million) found that 16% had obtained foreign residency and that an additional 44% were planning to emigrate. Many cite a polluted atmosphere, and not just in the air they breathe: endemic corruption, a shaky political system, tainted products and poor medical care, among other problems.

Open government and transparency activists asked for it: data available through open APIs and digital formats. Now that we have some of it, the dark spots on the sun are beginning to appear. The data are sometimes poor cousins to the records actually used to administer government or do its business, created as side systems or even fake records for public consumption and suffering from neglect at the hands of their overtaxed makers. Balancing privacy with widespread data releases sometimes leave the records too general for use in holding government accountable, and leave crucial data locked in technological and physical file cabinets. Records stored on paper and its electronic siblings are the forgotten members of the family. The panel, representing three viewpoints on transparency and its role in democracy, will highlight successes and failures in the recent transparency and open government movements and suggest solutions for data users and providers.

Twin Rovers Headed for Mars
Both Mars rovers, to be built, managed and operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., currently are planned for launch on Delta II rockets from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. The first mission is targeted for May 22, with the second launch slated for June 4. After a seven-and-a- half month cruise, the first rover should enter Mars' atmosphere January 2, 2004, with the second rover bouncing to a stop on the Martian surface January 20.
Above: This image is a single frame from a striking new video of the planned Mars 2003 rover mission. [more information from NASA headquarters]
The rovers will be exact duplicates, but that's where the similarities end. Relatives of the highly successful 1997 Sojourner rover, these 150-kilogram (300-pound) mobile laboratories may look and act alike, but they're going to decidedly different locations.
Scott Hubbard, Mars program director at NASA Headquarters said, "For the past few weeks NASA has been undertaking an extensive study of a two-lander option. Hubbard added, "The scientific appeal of using the excellent launch opportunity in 2003 for two missions was weighed carefully against the resource requirements and schedule constraints."
"Our teams concluded that we can successfully develop and launch these identical packages to the red planet," continued Hubbard. "We also determined that, in addition to the prospect of doubling our scientific return, this two-pronged approach adds resiliency and robustness to our exploration program."
"Mars is a beguiling place, and conducting a real mobile field-geology mission is always better when there are multiple perspectives," said Dr. Jim Garvin, Mars program scientist at NASA Headquarters. However, the landing sites have yet to be selected. "We are thinking about localities where there is evidence of surface processes involving what we might call 'past' water on Mars," Garvin said.
During the next two to three years, engineers and scientists will conduct an intensive search for potential touchdown sites. Using the flood of data still coming in from Mars Global Surveyor, and that expected starting in 2002 from the Mars 2001 Orbiter, scientists will search for compelling landing zones with the fewest hazards and select the best candidates.
Above: This artist's rendering shows a view of NASA's Mars 2003 Rover as it sets off to roam the surface of the red planet. The rover is scheduled for launch in June 2003 and will arrive in January 2004, shielded in its landing by an airbag shell. The airbag/lander structure, which has no scientific instruments of its own, is shown to the right in this image, behind the rover. [more information]
"The goal of both rovers will be to learn about ancient water and climate on Mars," said Professor Steven Squyres, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., and principal investigator for the rovers' Athena science package. "You can think of each rover as a robotic field geologist, equipped to read the geologic record at its landing site and to learn what the conditions were like back when the rocks and soils there were formed."
|Parents and Educators: Please visit Thursday's Classroom for lesson plans and activities related to this story.
Given the high priority NASA and the administration assign to the space science program overall, and to the timely exploration of Mars, the agency proposes that space science cover any additional costs of the first rover mission, and that the bulk of the cost for the second lander be reallocated from programs outside Space Science.
The Mars 2003 Rover project will be managed at JPL, for the Office of Space Science. Dr. Firouz Naderi is the Mars Program Manager at JPL, which is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

If it can't run reboot puppy and bring up gparted. DO NOT CHANGE any thing see if NTFS is corrupt, While it is rare a save file on a already corrupt NTFS file system can make it worse. There is a command line command in linux to force windows to do a corruption check/cleaning on next boot off hand I can't recall but it starts with ntfs.
This is why I never save anything to my c-drive. One hickup and you're toast. Guess you like me learned the hard way

Does Windows do a chkdsk when it boots up? Or does it give you a NTLDR not found error?

I have had problems in the past when I've copied something from Puppy (frugal on USB stick) to my windows HDD. When I rebooted into Windows the files were not there.
Fortunately it was on a partition that had been created specifically for Puppy/Windows file exchange. A chkdsk on the partition revealed lots of lost clusters.
After some head scratching I realised - I had
windows, then rebooted into Puppy. After Puppy copied the files and I re-booted into Windows (which of course "woke up" from hibernation), its directory entries were out of step with reality. And the Puppy copied files did not exist.
The windows chkdsk sorted out the directory entries (technically, probably the FAT table, but I don't wanna show my ignorance!!!)
The lesson I had learned was NEVER to hibernate windows if I was then going to boot Puppy and copy files on to a windows partition. Shut windows down completely and there is no problem. Clearly it sorts itself out much better from "cold".
As this was not the main bootable partition, I was easily able to recover from the situation.
Perhaps rui241256 did the same thing? Except unfortunately his was on the windows partition?
I wonder if there is such a thing as a Linux chkdsk equivalent that can safely handle (presumably) an NTFS file system. That would be the fix I imagine. Ted Dogs fix sounds even better.
Unless he is lucky and the borked file system is FAT 32 - that might increase the quantity of Linux tools that can safely fix it?
I am afraid I am guessing wildly at this stage.
However, regardless of whether I am right or wrong in how it happened in this specific case, my experiences above are still fact (although the details are slightly hazy since it happened about 4 years ago!), so for those of us that still have windows, always make sure you completely shut it down before booting into Puppy. Since I've obeyed that rule I have had no further problems copying files from Puppy to the windows hdd.

Since rui already tried to use the recovery feature of his computer and it didn't work, the attempt probably changed things enough that it's probably not going to be possible to repair with something as simple as chkdsk.
Still, it can't hurt anything to try.

Are you sure you do not have one of those bad samsung laptops that were in the news for bricking if one tried to boot any other operating system on it?
I ask because you never went into specifics as to what happened when you tried to reboot to windows.
Also, since the problem is a known issue, you might be able to get the laptop repaired or replaced by the dealer.
The reference I saw was
An excerpt from the article is :
Samsung laptops including the 530U3C, NP700Z7C, NP700Z5C, and 300E5C series are among those believed to be affected.

Ouch Samsung is off my list of possible laptop replacement units. Glad most of those 'transition' machines using UEFI also have a way to boot normal good-old BIOS.

Post subject: EaseUS Partition Recovery
I don't know of a way to fix Windows from Puppy. Neither have I tried creating a rescue disk under Wine. And having worked with BartPE know that creating such rescue disk (in Windows) is almost as time consuming as re-installing Windows. That said, In theory it can be done.
to include EaseUS Partition Recovery.
But: (1) If you have access to another computer which runs windows and the windows installation disk creating a rescue disk on that computer would be less theoretical; and its use preferable to loosing the data on your Windows Drive.
(2) If you have to reinstall Windows, you can use Puppy first to access and move your data.
And (3) Since Windows is bootable and only unstable, after copying your data to a different drive in preparation of reinstalling Windows, you have nothing to loose by using Puppy to copy EaseUS Partition Recovery software,
to your windows partition, booting into Windows, installing and running it.
Needless to say, I've used EaseUS Partition Recovery myself with success.

Unemployment rates dipped last month when compared to a year earlier in Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties.
Unemployment rates dipped last month when compared to a year earlier in Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties.
State Department of Labor figures released Tuesday showed 7.3 percent unemployment in Orange, down from 8.5 percent in August 2012. Sullivan had a 7.6 percent rate last month, down from 8.7 percent, and Ulster's dropped to 7.6 percent from 9 percent a year earlier.
Ulster's biggest year-to-year gains came in private services, which added 1,400 jobs. The Orange-Dutchess metropolitan area saw a total of 1,200 jobs created between August 2012 and last month in private services and trade, transportation and utilities.
Sullivan gained 200 jobs during the same time in natural resources, mining and construction, but posted an overall private-sector job loss of 0.9 percent.
The Hudson Valley region overall had an unemployment rate of 6.6 percent last month, compared to 7.7 percent in August 2012, according to the state's figures.
Statewide, the unemployment rate also decreased, to 7.5 percent last month compared to 8.5 percent a year earlier.
The rate dropped nationally to 7.3 percent from 8.2 percent over the same period.
Economist have attributed lower rates to a shrinking labor force, reflecting older people turning to retirement after losing jobs, and younger ones opting to go back to school. Extended unsuccessful job searches have led others to leave the job market.
There has also been an increase in underemployment, economists have found, with more part-time work and people taking jobs beneath their qualifications.
New York's highest unemployment rate by county last month was found in the Bronx, at 12 percent. That was down from 12.8 percent a year earlier. The lowest was 4.2 percent, in Hamilton County in the Adirondacks, down from 5 percent in August 2012.

Progressive support hardening, reactionaries limp into fifth place
Despite its failure to win any seats in last week's Australian General Election, the Australian Sex Party was today celebrating its arrival on the scene as the "Major Minor Party" of Australian politics.
This claim is based on the fact that after Coalition, Labor and Greens, the Sex Party (ASP) is now neck and neck with Family First for fourth place in the national Senate vote – a result achieved without standing candidates in either the Australian Capital Territory or Tasmania.
As of today, the party claimed to be level pegging in Victoria and vying with the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) for the last Senate seat. In the Northern Territory it received more than four per cent of the vote: in the six House of Representatives seats that it contested, the ASP came fourth in all but one, beating Family First in every case.
Damp squib, or a sign of things to come? As we have previously reported, the ASP is a genuine attempt to shake up the reactionary tendencies in some of the darker corners of Australian politics. The party claims that close results, particularly in the Senate, have given disproportionate influence to right-wing religious views like those espoused by groups such as Family First.
The party was born out of a sense of grievance that national politicians were playing to the moral grandstanders and quite failing to represent the views of the majority of Australians, who are on the whole fairly laid back about sexuality.
In terms of policy, the ASP is socially progressive, being in favour of sex education in schools, gay marriage and a censorship regime that is both less restrictive and more transparent.
The party benefits from the backing of the Australian adult industry and, in Fiona Patten, its national convenor, has a leader who is both media-friendly and politically savvy.
Other than that, it's been an uphill struggle, with challenges to the ASP's registration as a party and, last week, Google censoring ASP online ads just 24 hours before the polls were due to open.
The party's serious and sensible objective is not to take power, but to displace the likes of Family First as power brokers in the Senate. On the evidence of this weekend's election, the party may be well on its way to doing that. ®
If you would like a taste of the genuine differences between the ASP and Family First - as well a debate without the false politeness that characterises so much political discussion nowadays - take a look at the recently televised encounter between the ASP's Fiona Patten and Wendy Francis of Family First on Sunrise.

Ellen DeGeneres Producing New Gay-Themed Sitcom For NBC
NBC is teaming up with Ellen DeGeneres for a new gay-themed comedy and this time there's a lesbian in the lead! (Kinda cool to see, Ellen coming full-circle after breaking barriers with her own lesbian-led sitcom in the 90's, no??)
Sixteen years after Ellen DeGeneres came out on her ABC sitcom, there may be another broadcast comedy with a lesbian lead. NBC has put in development a multi-camera comedy executive produced by DeGeneres. The untitled project, written/exec produced by openly gay comedy scribe Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls), centers on a lesbian and her straight male best friend who get pregnant just as he meets and marries the love of his life. Warner Bros TV and DeGeneres' studio-based A Very Good Production are producing, with AVGP's Jeff Kleeman also exec producing. Feldman previously worked for two years on DeGeneres' hit syndicated talk show and wrote for DeGeneres' first stint as Oscar host. (She returns to Oscar duties on March 2).
NBC currently has Sean Saves The World on the air. With this new sitcom in development, maybe the lone gay-centered sitcom on a broadcast network won't be so lonely!
Excited for Ellen's new project?
