Canadian Football Player Recovers from Thyroid Cancer

Two months after he had surgery to remove his thyroid gland, Canadian football player Anthony Calvillo has reported a steady recovery from thyroid cancer, according to the Montreal Gazette.

The two-time Grey Cup champion and quarterback of the Montreal Alouettes announced his speedy recuperation at a press conference alongside his personal physician and his wife, Alexia, who has also overcome cancer.

The newspaper said that 38-year-old Calvillo had undergone a total thyroidectomy after doctors detected a malignant carcinoma in the gland. He was also treated with a round of radioactive iodine therapy, which destroys cancerous thyroid cells that remain in the body.

The football player announced that he plans to continue playing for the Alouettes, a team that he joined 13 years ago.  Calvillo has the second most passing yards of any quarterback in the Canadian Football league, according to his official team profile. He told the press that he might never have noticed that he had thyroid cancer if he had not been hospitalized in August for a bruised sternum.

CTV reported that doctors noticed a lump in his thyroid while he was being given an extensive physical exam. Biopsies later revealed that the nodule was malignant.  The player's physician, Vincent Lacroix, noted that Calvillo will be taking levothyroxine - which is a synthetic thyroid hormone also known by various brand names, including Synthroid and Levoxyl - as part of his post-operative medical regimen.

Individuals who undergo full thyroidectomies must take thyroid hormone supplements. Without this treatment, they will experience hypothyroidism. This condition is characterized by sluggishness, brittle hair, dry skin, muscle cramps and depression, according to the National Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases Information Service.

For people Calvillo's age who are treated for the disease, the outlook is often good. The mortality rate for thyroid cancer among adults between the ages of 35 and 44 is just over 2 percent, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) reports. Overall, one in 111 Americans will be diagnosed with thyroid cancer in their lifetimes, the NCI states.

How Much Does Insomnia Cost?

Insomnia is the most common sleep complaint. The burden of insomnia often includes anxiety and frustration. It also involves a high economic cost.

A study in the Jan. 1 issue of the journal Sleep examines the economic burden of insomnia. The study found that the indirect costs of untreated insomnia are much greater than the direct costs of treating it. The specific results may surprise you.

The study shows that the highest cost of insomnia is in lost hours of productivity at work. This accounts for 76 percent of all insomnia costs. The study estimates that a person with insomnia loses a whopping 27.6 days worth of productivity each year.

The second-highest cost of insomnia is attributed to absences from work. The study estimates that people with insomnia miss 4.36 days of work per year because of the disorder.

What about the direct costs of treating insomnia? Again the results are surprising. The study found that the highest direct cost is related to using alcohol as a sleep aid. Alcohol accounts for five percent of all insomnia costs.

(By the way: Alcohol is a terrible sleep aid. It may make you sleepy at first. But it will lead to disrupted sleep during the night.)

Consultations with a doctor account for about three percent of all insomnia costs. In the study less than one percent of the total annual cost of insomnia is related to prescription medications.

Here it is important to put the results in context. The study was conducted in Quebec, Canada. The authors report that Quebec’s centralized health-care system keeps medical costs low. The study also states that most medications used for sleep in Canada are inexpensive generic drugs.

Yet it is clear that the overall economic impact of insomnia is great. So what do you think? Does insomnia cause you to underperform at work?

52 52 L always has first 10-count across midfield The “on” official when count starts has all other counts A hand count is used, from navel to 45 degrees past vertical Switch arms if one count ends and a new count begins No verbal count: use visual count only 10-second count mechanics I

53 53 Use “reset” signal to indicate new count on changes of possession or after a play-on If you have the count and it ends, simply stop counting If you do not have the count and the ball goes into the box in your area, put your hand up for 2–3 seconds, then point into the attack area 10-second count mechanics II

54 54 Who has the count? T has the count if the ball comes out in the blue area or on a restart in the blue area L has the first 10-count across midfield and has the 10-count if the ball comes out in—or restarts in—the yellow area

55 55 L has the goal T has the goal at the other end of the field T is responsible for watching the shooter and flagging late hits Most important responsibilities

57 57 In a settled situation, the “on” official has the restart and the count L may need to point to signal T that player in possession is in bounds for the restart Make eye-contact prior to restart before face-offs and after penalties, timeouts, and sideline horns Quick restart for end line out of bounds, change-of-possession technical fouls Restarts

58 58 L covers all contested plays behind the goal; T moves into box until L returns L must chase shots to the end line and has all end line out-of-bounds calls On shots, possession to team with in- bounds player’s body closest to ball when it breaks the plane of the sideline (horn allowed) or end line Play can start inside the attack area for an end line OOB if there are no fouls End line out of bounds

59 59 Whistle simultaneously with dead-ball signal For a player stepping out on the end line, point to the end line with a sweeping gesture Point direction of play; don’t point across body L must get back to GLE before restarting play unless there is a contested play on the end line End line out of bounds signals

60 60 Each official calls his own sideline Hand up and whistle If player stepped out, point to sideline with sweeping motion to indicate OOB rather than a foul Point in the direction of play and call color of team getting ball (e.g., “Blue!) Both hands up to indicate that a horn is allowed Sideline out of bounds I

61 61 Bench-side official clicks timer and keeps arms up: -If no horn, for 3–5 seconds -If there is a horn, until teams are done subbing or until timer goes off T restarts if the ball is leaving the T’s half of the field In the offensive end, the “on” official restarts Sideline out of bounds II

62 62 Restart Location OOB on end line (shot, pass, step, or deflection) with no play-on or flag-down: ball restarts at the spot... the ball moves laterally outside the attack area X A stoppage in the midfield area or alley restarts at the spot: do not move to the corner! X Any other stoppage in the attack area... X X X A timeserving penalty in the def. end results in a free clear Simul. fouls with both teams serving time: no free clear, but ball moves out of the box X X Move restart in 5 yards from near sub area

Briefly inform player, then partner Face table from open area, set feet, pause Report Color, Number, Offense, Time, Explanation (restart/NR) (C-NOTE) T starts timer; L should have field ready Don’t start until you get point from partner Signaling time-serving fouls

71 71 Report personal foul as usual; make sure teams know it will be a man-down face-off For a technical foul, signal: Goal scored on a flag down “Goal is good.” “There is a push…” “…which is wiped out by the goal.” “The goal is good.”

72 72 Photo by Justin Wetterer

73 73 Dead balls There is : –An action requiring a whistle to stop play –A pause while the official recognizes it –The sounding of the whistle The dead ball begins with the action requiring a whistle Any foul that occurs during a dead ball is a dead-ball foul even if it happens during the pause between recognition and whistle

74 74 Assessing dead-ball fouls Dead-ball fouls are enforced in sequence Technicals may be possession fouls or time- serving, depending who’s due possession. Treat a foul with a face-off pending like a loose-ball foul: award possession for a technical and flag a personal Use the dead-ball foul signal when necessary

75 75 Situation #1 Play: B1 illegally body checks A1 before ball enters the goal (not a dead-ball foul) Signal: “Blue, #1, illegal body check, one minute. Goal is good. Face-off.”

76 76 Situation #2 Play: B1 illegally body checks A1 after ball enters the goal Signal: “Blue, #1, dead ball, illegal body check, 1 minute. Goal is good. White ball.”

77 77 Live-ball vs. dead ball fouls (on opposing teams) For “live-ball, live ball,” you have simultaneous fouls and no free clear (“Live-ball, live-ball, leave it”) For “live-ball, dead ball,” enforce in the order they occurred and award a free clear (“Live ball, dead ball, dead center”) In both cases, common penalty time is non-releasable (NCAA 7-2-d)

78 78 Photo by Justin Wetterer

79 79 Yell “Play on!” and give the play-on signal If no clear advantage, kill play within 1 second. If offended team is likely to gain and maintain possession, allow it to go up to 3 seconds (normally) If the offended team gets possession, point in the direction of play and indicate the offended team (e.g., “Blue ball!”) to signal the end of the play-on Play on

80 80 Watch for residual action from play Short: “Loose … push … blue ball!” or even “Push … blue ball!” Make call loud and clear, with big signals Move ball out of Zone 4 if necessary Quick restart: everyone should be “in the play” (exceptions: 5-count for GK out of crease, player too close on free play) Signaling possession-change fouls

81 81 Let everyone know exactly what the foul was as quickly as possible. Which accomplishes this best? Signaling violations “Illegal procedure! White ball!” “Playing from out of bounds! White ball!” “Illegal procedure! Blue number 27 is playing from out of bounds! We’re going White!”

82 82 XOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXO X O X O X T L OXOX L T T whistles ball in as soon as it’s ready even if trail is not yet at midfield Goalie interference, then count expires or clearing pass is incomplete Free clear (no time served) Ball gets moved over midfield O

83 83 Ball-in-flight technical foul If A1 passes the ball and B1 commits a technical foul while the ball is in flight: Call play-on Award possession if the pass is incomplete End the play-on (“Blue ball” and point) if the pass is completed Note: NFHS 4.5 Situation was changed by and NFHS bulletin on 1/22/09

85 85 Check during dead-ball situations: timeouts, between periods, after goals, before face-offs NCAA—6 stick checks per team per game; only check stick unless coach requests NFHS—at least 1 equipment check per team per half Use the unofficial “stick check” signal if needed Equipment checks I

86 86 Complete check in 20 seconds; if it takes more than 5 seconds to determine legality on any aspect, move on If the stick is illegal, report everything that is wrong Penalize most serious violation from crosse and equipment, but report all violations Equipment checks II

87 87 Normally, T gets goal scorer and L gets a long pole L gets ball, checks pocket first, then transfers ball to T Postpone scheduled check if flag down Communicate to make sure you have a player from each team Equipment check after goal

88 88 T watches goal scorer and yells “Don’t touch your stick! Please give me the stick!” L signals goal, gets long pole Goal disallowed for pulling strings before or after or adjustment after request If no check was planned but the scorer pulls the strings shortly after the goal, goal is disallowed and 1-minute USC is served Adjusting the crosse is a 1-minute USC Goal scorer adjusting crosse

89 89 XOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXO XOX O O X L Equipment check—goal scored T Transfer ball and complete check T usually gets goal scorer, watches for adjustment, checks measurements first Goal scored L signals goal, gets ball, grabs long pole, checks ball first.

90 90 If you check before a face-off, do it as soon as the players you intend to check are on the field; don’t wait for the field to be set first There are two options: W comes in to center to check face-off middies with F official F comes to wing area to check middies with W official Equipment check before faceoff

91 91 L checks a player on the way to bench on L’s half of the field T checks a player on the way to bench on T’s half of the field Do not pull players out of huddle Can inspect sticks at midfield These are good opportunities to “catch up” on checks during a low-scoring game Equipment check during timeout or between periods

92 92 Photo by David Seidman

93 93 Can be called by head coach or any player on field Dead ball: either team can call Live ball: -NCAA: only with possession across restraining line in offensive end -NFHS: with possession anywhere Bench-side official watches teams cross Be sure teams know which team called it Timeouts

94 94 When you determine that a timeout can be granted blow your whistle During dead ball: don’t blow whistle if you can avoid it (blow repeatedly if people might think you’re trying to start play) Wave both arms overhead Point to bench of team calling timeout for a team timeout Tap your chest for an official’s timeout Timeouts mechanics I

95 95 T starts 1:40 timer when teams have had enough time to get to their benches Be sure you and teams know where ball is starting Meet at midfield: record timeout (time in period), discuss game situation Sound whistle and start beeper at 1:40 or when team calling timeout returns to field Timeout mechanics II

96 96 Photo by Spencer Norcross

97 97 Be aware of NCAA vs. NFHS differences Verbally consult with partners before warning When appropriate, yell “Keep it in!” and give the arm signal Avoid trapping the team as they step in and out of the attack area Stalling I

98 98 On restart, remind teams if warning is on If the ball leaves the attack area other than by a shot or a defensive deflection, possible play-on If the ball leaves Zone 4 after being last touched by the defense, signal “Tipped ball!”; either team may recover, but renew warning if offense recovers Stalling II

99 99 Stall warnings should be given early in the game if appropriate whether team is leading or trailing A man-down team may be warned for stalling Warning in last two minutes for team in the lead is automatic: it is a violation to come out even if the officials forget to give the “keep it in” warning Stalling III

101 101 Inadvertent whistle If Team A has possession, Team A keeps possession If the ball is loose in the crease, the defense is awarded possession If the ball is loose outside the crease, award by alternate possession

102 102 Inadvertent flag Stop play at the earliest point not interfering with an imminent scoring opportunity (see rules for shot taken) Wave off the flag If Team A has possession at the time of the flag, Team A keeps possession If the ball is loose at the time of the flag, award by alternate possession (except if ball is in crease: award to defense in alley)

103 103 NFHS coach’s challenge Meet in sub area, start 1:40 timer Challenge denied before 1:40: coach may use remaining time and is charged TO (or is assessed technical foul if none remain) Officials not convinced of legitimate argument within 1:40: assess timeout or technical foul, restart within 20 seconds No challenges after game ends

105 105 Official nearest the incident Gets in early and stop before it starts Remembers color/numbers of players involved and the sequence of involvement Note: Officials may attempt to physically separate players if they believe it can be done without endangering the safety of the players or the officials. Do not risk personal injury to separate players.

109 109 Suspended games New NFHS lightning guideline: clear field for thunder or lightning ground strike; keep field clear for 30 min. after last such event Coaches: get teams into vehicles/buildings Record all game info, since game will be resumed from the point of interruption unless coaches agree to terminate game There are no NFHS or NCAA rules saying a game is “complete” after a certain point

110 110 Participating in play without crosse or with a broken crosse is illegal procedure Stop play immediately if broken crosse creates a dangerous situation Player can drop broken crosse and run off or carry it off the field Play is stopped immediately for broken goalie crosse Lost/broken crosse

111 111 If a anyone loses or breaks required equipment other than the crosse in a scrimmage area, stop play immediately Award ball as with inadvertent whistle USC for intentional lost equip. to stop play NFHS lost/broken equipment

112 112 A1 with possession loses glove, shoe, or helmet and maintains possession: stop play and award possession to Team A (no goal) Technical for participating in the play as a def. player after losing equipment on the field other than the mouthpiece, or participating in play after chinstrap warning Must stop play immediately for any player without required protective gear in a scrimmage area NCAA lost/broken equipment

113 113 If goalie breaks his crosse or loses or breaks any other required equipment, stop play immediately (allow shot in flight to conclude) Award possession as with inadvertent whistle USC for intentional lost equip. to stop play Goalie playing without crosse is a technical foul Lost/broken goalie equipment

114 114 Injuries Stop play when appropriate; err on the side of caution Call trainer or 911 (don’t touch the player) Do not try to rush player off the field Unconscious player needs written medical approval (from MD or DO) to return Report unconscious players/major injuries to the assigning authority after the game

115 115 The “Ramp” For poor behavior by Team A, options are: –Verbal warning –Conduct foul with Team A in possession –Conduct foul with Team B in possession –USC foul (1 to 3 minutes) –Expulsion Try to work through these steps in order Sometimes you may need to skip steps (especially taunting/racist behavior)

116 116 Sportsmanship card

117 117 Sportsmanship card For youth games, adult non-coach sideline manager from each team must be present Sideline manager can warn coaches, players, or fans using card Sideline manager notifies officials, who notify coaches Officials terminate game if behavior persists See Level 1 & 2 Manual for more info

118 118 Assault Extremely rare, but possible Avoid physical contact and threatening behavior; don’t retaliate End the game, leave with your partner, and call 911 File charges; write a report and contact your assigner; follow through with league or criminal hearings

119 119 One-man mechanics Run the near sideline if you can get two people to call the far sideline Otherwise, run the far side and have the coaches call out of bounds (use AP if necessary) Run top of box to top of box Worry more about safety calls than technical fouls like offside Coaches will understand that you can’t see everything by yourself

120 120 Come close to the ball at horn to discourage post-game “issues” You have jurisdiction and can expel people after horn (suspensions to be served) Watch teams cross to benches, then quickly leave field as a crew (don’t stay for handshake unless state requires you to) Call assigner ASAP if necessary (e.g., fights, expulsions); follow with written report Post-game

It is up to the employer to learn what forms his state requires.

It is up to the employer to learn what forms his state requires.

Under federal guidelines, employers must send Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-2 to their employees by the last day of January. These W-2s are from the previous calendar tax year. However, there are times when an employer does not have an address for the employee, making it difficult to get the W-2 forms out in a timely manner.

An employer must send out an employee’s W-2 by January 31. The employer must also send copies to the Social Security Administration (SSA). While an employer might not have an employee's address, he must send the W-2 form to the SSA by the due date. With electronic filing, employers can wait until the last day of March if they are filing the forms electronically.

Electronic Filing

Employers can electronically file using the Social Security Online website. There are two methods. One is the W-2 Online method, by which an employer can fill out up to 20 forms and print out copies that can be mailed to employees. In addition, there is the W-2c Online method, which limits printouts to five. If an employer does not have the proper address, he needs to retain the copies and try to find an alternate method of getting the form to a former employee.

Contacting Employees

If an employer knows how to get in touch with a previous employee, he can get a mailing address. If the ex-employee is reluctant to provide his address, the employer can arrange for him to pick up the W-2.

Reissuing Forms

An employer may mail a W-2 to the address on file for an ex-employee and the person does not receive the form. In many cases, there are forms available for the person to request a reissue of the W-2 form. The employee fills out the request form and ensures that the mailing address on the request is current and correct.

PowerBlog Review Schedule

One of the Internet trends we spotted over a year ago was that of business blogging. To track that trend, we started a weekly feature back in February of 2004 called PowerBlog Reviews.

Each week we review notable examples of blogs that are being used for some sort of business purpose, with a concentration on "small business." We pick out a few key points about each blog that we think are powerful and serve as a "lesson" to other bloggers.

We've completed 55 PowerBlog Reviews to date, covering sites from six countries.
I thought you might like to see the schedule of blogs we will be reviewing in upcoming weeks:

13 March 2005 - Security Awareness
20 March 2005 - Decent Marketing
27 March 2005 - George's Employment Blog
3 April 2005 - Genuine Gems for Pearl Girls
10 April 2005 - Media Advisor
17 April 2005 - Coyote Blog
If you would like your site reviewed, please email me. There is never any charge to have your blog reviewed.

I am, though, seeking a sponsor for the entire PowerBlog Review series. This will help defray the costs of the Reviews, which have become quite popular and take a chunk of time to produce each week. Sponsorship would be ideal for any company in the blogging or online space, serving the small business market. Prospective sponsors should email me for details.

May 16, 2015 - Nothing can beat a scrumptious cup of coffee for stimulating your mood and metabolism. There are plenty of different options available which simply choosing a good coffee can find yourself becoming overwhelming. The accessible flavors and varieties are endless, and also the choices at cafes are wide ranging. This article will help to sort everything coffee out to suit your needs.

Many coffee fans crave a cooler way of getting their caffeine fix during the summer time. You can add several ingredients including ice inside a blender to create yourself a great coffee shake. Likewise incorporate sugar, vanilla and chocolate. This can be a great way to enjoy coffee flavor in even warm weather.

How long coffee is brewed greatly affects the way the finished mug of coffee tastes. Four to five minutes may be the optimal here we are at coffee brewing. In case your coffee was brewed at a lower price time, it will be watery, and if you leave it on a long time, it will have an acrid taste.

You should always be keeping your coffee beans or hair products travel bag stored in an airtight container. Make use of an opaque container rather than one that is translucent. This container should be stored in a location that is cool and dry. A root cellar is one of the best places to store coffee containers. A refrigerator also works as a quick fix for just two weeks or less.

If you want to try different tastes in coffee but do not want to quit your favorite brand, try adding different flavors. For example, creamer and dairy add completely different levels of sweetness in your coffee. If you are feeling adventurous, you can look at flavored or soy milk. Many cafes employ the use of flavored syrups, and so they can be used in your own home too.

You must never keep your coffee about the heated surface for more than a few minutes. Anything sitting more than that will begin to burn, turning the flavour bitter. If you wish to keep your coffee warm, put it in an airtight thermos that may keep in heat.

If you do not like the coffee you get at the supermarket, you should look elsewhere. The turn-around is probably a bit slow therefore you never get fresh beans. Specialty shops that sell coffee usually have very flavorful beans.

Charcoal filtered water is a great alternative to brew coffee with. This can allow you to filter your regular faucet water with charcoal, improving its quality. Another option is to buy a coffee maker that includes a built-in filter. Charcoal filtered water may also be bought at supermarkets.

You must never keep your coffee around the heated surface for over a few minutes. The coffee burns after that, which makes a bitter brew. If you would like your coffee hot, pour it in to a thermos that will retain the heat.

There are several different coffee types to select from. Some being a mild flavor while others enjoy a deep dark brew. Some like flavored coffees, and some coffees are very sweet. You can even buy creamer that's flavored so you can have many different choices.

To get the best possible brew, pure, water that is clean is key. The coffee which you brew has many factors. Start out with good water.

Do you think that fake sweetening items are preferable to natural sugars? Sugar substitutes can give coffee a strange flavor because the heat stops working the compounds. Start with sipping a black coffee, then gradually add raw sugar before taste is merely right. If you need to use a sweetener, just use half of one packet.

When you're picking a coffee grinder out, pick one that has cone-shaped or flat burrs for grinding. They do not use a large amount of heat. Lower heat will help to preserve the taste of your coffee. Grinders who have blades do not produce a consistent grind. These tend to get too hot, running the chance of burnt beans.

Continually be careful in regards to the kind of water you will employ when you are making coffee. Bad water will lessen the quality of the brew, regardless how good the beans or even the method. Also, make use of water using a mineral count to preserve freshness. If you don't use water having a mineral count, you might not like the taste.

For those who have an active baby that needs your attention a lot that you are never able to finish a cup of joe at home, locate a drive-through coffeeshop about 10 or 15 minutes away. Place your child within the back seat, purchase your coffee, and have a leisurely drive as you enjoy your beverage.

Froth your personal milk for coffee lacking any expensive machine. Heat some milk within the microwave until it begins steaming. Place a whisk inside the cup, and quickly rub the handle backwards and forwards between your palms. Keep going until the milk has frothed. To attain maximum froth, use either half and half or dairy.

Stir the coffee in the game immediately after brewing it. Stirring it briefly will allow flavor and aroma develop. Upon serving, you will be treated to a richer taste and revel in more of the wonderful smell that coffee-drinkers crave.

As stated earlier, building a cup of coffee perfect is a challenge sometimes. Any time you make a mug of coffee using the great advice above, you will be in coffee heaven. jointly authored by Francene E. Witten

The Naturalist's Corner

Written by

Stop and smell the flowers

Sure, we all hear it and we all think, “I’m gonna do just that as soon as I catch up.” And then next year we hear it again.

Well thanks to a wonderful offer from Chuck Dayton and Sara Evans from St. Paul, Minn. and Waynesville, I had the opportunity to ditch my rapid, rabid point to point birding survey for the Forest Service and stop and smell the flowers on Saturday, May 23.

Chuck and Sara were entertaining a group of friends from Minnesota and asked if I would lead a birding/wildflower trip. I had met Chuck and Sara on this spring’s Waynesville Watershed hike and knew they were knowledgeable about and had a keen interest in the natural environment.

Chuck is a retired environmental lawyer whose many accolades include being dubbed Minnesota Sierra Club’s Environmentalist of the Decade for his work in the 1970s to increase and expand wilderness protection in the Boundary Waters. Sara’s love for the outdoors may be in her DNA. Her Mom, Maxilla Evans helped establish and design the Cornelia Bryan Native Garden at Lake Junaluska and in 2006, Maxilla was awarded the 20th annual Tom Dodd Jr. Award of Excellence which is presented each year at the Cullowhee Conference on Native Plants in the Landscape.

There were no hard-core birders in the group so we had a rather leisurely start from Chuck and Sara’s around 9 a.m. Saturday. I believe there were 13 guests from Minnesota plus Chuck, Sara, Kate Queen and myself.

While it was a large group, it was the kind of group hike leaders dream of. The group was interested and attentive and it was easy to see they were enamored by our beautiful old mountains.

We ended up with a decent bird list (58 species) for birding primarily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in late May. And while birds — many likely incubating — were hard to coax from the woods and/or tangles we did get some really good views of Canada warbler, chestnut-sided warbler, black-throated blue warbler, northern parula, wild turkey(s) with polts and sadly, ruffed grouse fledglings on the side of Heintooga Spur Road, where their mom and one brood mate lay mashed by some inattentive driver.

Our birding time was also compromised — in a great way — by all the wildflowers in bloom. I was surprised to find serviceberry and silverbell still blooming at higher elevations along with large-flowered trillium. Other trilliums included wake robin and painted trillium. Canada mayflower was beginning to bloom along Heintooga Road and we found some large stands of umbrella leaf.

Two of my favorite wildflowers were duly noted. Pinkshell azalea, Rhododendron vaseyi, is blooming profusely around the wet, ragged rock outcroppings just before and just beyond Waterrock Knob.

The pinkshell was discovered in 1878 by George Vasey and is known from only four counties in Western North Carolina. The majority of pinkshells are, indeed, pink. But blossoms can range from almost pure white to deep purplish-pink. Grandfather Mountain is home to an extensive population of pinkshell.

Another of my favorite wildflowers, Indian paintbrush is in bloom along the shoulder of Heintooga Road. You can’t miss the scarlet head of Indian paintbrush glowing from the green roadside. But the color is not from the flower. The flowers are actually yellowish-green and the scarlet bracts surround them.

Pinkshell azalea and Indian paintbrush are both ranked S3 in North Carolina meaning they are at moderate risk of extinction due to restricted range and relatively few populations. But both of these species, as well as countless others, are in full bloom now so there’s no excuse not to stop and smell the flowers.

Home / EPL / Holloway Has Resignation Rejected

Ian Holloway, everyones favorite Premiership manager, has attempted to resign in protest at the $25,000 fine levied against the club by the Premier League. Their decision to fine Blackpool for violation of rules B13 and E20, in other words fielding an understrength team, which bizarrely all wore Puma soccer shoes, has wide reaching implications for the game, and for Blackpool. Holloway had insisted following the match that if the club were fined, he would resign in protest at what he views is an absurd and biased decision.

“I’d pack in. I can’t work for this madness,” Holloway said. “I would resign. They do not know what they’re talking about.”

Blackpool Chariman Karl Oyston has insisted Holloway will not be allowed to follow through on his threat and will be managing the club well into the future. Knowing Holloway, he’ll stick with the club, but will have plenty to say to the Premier League and FA about the decision. For my part, I think Holloway is in the right, and is only standing up to biased system that benefits the top clubs at the expense of those trying desperately to rise through the ranks. It seems impossible that the Premiership would ever fine Chelsea or Manchester United for fielding an understrength team as their 2nd team would probably beat most club’s 1st team on a good day. But for sides like Blackpool, or Everton, or Blackburn resting key players means risking a hefty fine on your club. Seems like discrimination to me.

I think Holloway will stay in his position as the manager of Blackpool, Oyston has insisted so.

“I’ve spoken to [Holloway] on the phone,” Oyston said. “He’s obviously disappointed but there’s absolutely no question I would accept his resignation.

“We spoke about it briefly but that was a private conversation. Ian has breathed life back into this club and I’ll cheer him up again.”

But if I were a member of the Premiership governing board, I’d stay the hell out of Blackpool town center, and his way.
