EU and Canada reach free trade dealBy JUERGEN BAETZ
THE Associated Press | October 19,2013AP PHOTO
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and European Commission President Jose Barroso shake hands as they exchange documents during a ceremony Friday at the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium.BRUSSELS Canada and the European Union have struck a tentative free trade deal meant to boost growth and jobs and which European officials hope will provide a blueprint for a much larger but more challenging trade pact with the U.S.
The deal agreed to on Friday in Brussels will cut tariffs and red tape and was attained after settling bitter disputes over cheese exports and visa requirements. Companies on each side will have improved access to the two lucrative markets the 28-member EUs 500 million people and Canadas 35 million.
This is a big deal. It is the biggest deal our country has ever made, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in Brussels.
The value of bilateral trade in goods and services between the EU and Canada was 85 billion euros in 2012 ($116 billion at todays value), according to the European Commission, the EUs executive arm. It estimates the agreement will boost trade by almost a quarter.
The deal still requires approval by the European Parliament, EU member states and from Canada on federal and provincial levels. These are expected to be cleared in 2015.
A total of 99 percent of tariffs will be removed immediately once the agreement takes effect, with only a few agricultural products being excluded and managed by quota rules.
In numerical terms, the deal appears to be a bigger win for Canada. The EU, a $17-trillion economy, is Canadas second-largest trading partner behind the U.S. By contrast, Canada is only the EUs 12th-largest trading market. The deal would also help reduce the dependence of Canadas $1.8-trillion economy on imports from the U.S.
However, while Canadas export potential grows, its products will also face stiffer competition at home.
Indeed, Canada seemed to have made major concessions for the deal in .
Sectors like Canadas dairy products, particularly cheese producers, are likely to see their market share fall. They will receive help from the Canadian government as imports from Europe ramp up, Harper said. He insisted, nevertheless, that the deal is in the interest of the vast majority of Canadians.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso hailed the agreement as a win-win for both sides after four years of negotiations.
The EUs cheese exports proved to be one of the last stumbling blocks in the negotiations, EU officials said. In the final compromise, Canada accepted an increased quota that will allow EU cheese exports to surge by 130 percent.
Another hurdle was the Czech governments insistence that Canada should waive its visa requirement for Czech citizens. Harper said that Canada will scrap the rule in the coming weeks.
The EU hopes the agreement with Canada will provide a boost to free trade talks with the U.S., which would be the worlds largest such pact. The EU and U.S. combined represent just under half of the global economy.
Officials on both sides of the Atlantic hope to agree on the broad outline of that deal by the end of next year, but that schedule is considered highly ambitious as significant hurdles remain.
We expect this agreement to set some standards, also for other negotiations, including with our American friends, Barroso said, hinting that some of the compromises struck with Canada could serve as blueprints for the negotiations with the U.S.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Procter & Gamble is canceling an on-field breast cancer awareness promotion it had...

Do we really care for others or just think we do?
We talk a lot about how bad the world is, what we could do to improve it. Sometimes we give money to various charitable campaigns or even take part in a project, but often ignore the sadness, loneliness or illness of our closest neighbors. How much good can be done just to give a bit of friendly conversation to someone? How many times have we dodged a homeless man on the street as we come to give money to charity? Do we act and we are engaged? or we deceive ourselves to feel good?

Louise KyteMar 6 2013: We really do care for others as we think we do. This is innate. Unfortunately this trait can be discouraged by the cynical, by those who champion greed, by those who go around saying things such as,"Nice guys finish last" and "You'll never be able to help everybody,so learn to cast a blind eye upon the less fortunate" and others whose hearts have somehow fallen into questionable places. They are not without compassion, mostly. Oh, a few may have been struck with such devastating fortune as to truly be able to consider nothing beyond their own personal welfare, but thankfully such people are exceedingly rare in today's world. They are generally found only in areas where an entire community has been visited with extreme deprivation. No, when we hear people speak in ways that discourage kindness and charity, we are called upon to counter their arguments. Just as we are inclined to practice kindness and charity, we must also be inclined to speak out in favor of it.
If we act to help others, then we help others. Generally they will forgive us if our hearts are not in the best of all places as we do so. We may be deceiving ourselves about how engaged we are, this is true. How many in a world that so often tells us to take care of ourselves first can truly put ourselves second when engaging with someone in need? Forgetting about ourselves successfully can take some practice. And as in all things, including all good things, can be overdone.

Just north of Elk River, a woman stopped to help what she thought was a person in need -- but it turns out she was just being set up by a man who stole her car and her sense of security.
On her Facebook page, the victim described the ordeal as a "tough lesson" and warned others that no matter how much someone wants to trust and help another person, she'll be thinking twice before getting out of her car again.
Katie Kangas admitted that she never thought she'd be the victim of a carjacking in Sherburne County. Now, she says if she had called 911, Gage Williams never would have had the opportunity to take advantage of her concern last Wednesday in Sherburne County.
Williams is now in custody and has been charged with concocting an elaborate plan to steal a car. Charging documents explain that he lured his victim by posing as an injured cyclist.
It was nearly 11 p.m. when Kangas came upon Williams as he lay in a ditch with a bicycle on top of him. She pulled a U-turn to see if she could help. Williams told her he was bleeding, but when she approached, he leapt into the driver's seat and tried to take off.
The criminal complaint states that Kangas put up a fight and tried to stop him; however, he pushed her from the moving car and left her in the ditch alone.
Yet, as clever as his ruse may have been, he was ultimately outsmarted by his victim. Kangas called investigators after she found him on Facebook because he used his real first name.
When deputies went to Williams' rural home in Isanti County, they found him asleep on the couch with the keys to the stolen car still in his hand. Police say he eventually confessed and even admitted to stealing the bicycle he used in the ploy.

Two men died after a driver lost control and collided with another car early Sunday morning. Deputies say 18-year-old Gabriel Gallego was driving a Corvette near River and Swan Roads when he lost control, crossed the center line and collided with a Honda Civic. The vehicles both spun off the roadway and Gallego was ejected from the car. The Corvette's passenger, 20-year-old Olajuwon Gilliam, was trapped inside. Both Gallego and Gilliam were pronounced dead at the scene. Two passengers in the Honda were taken to University of Arizona Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Deputies say they determined the Corvette was speeding, but they don't know if alcohol was a factor. The crash is still under investigation.

It's sometimes been said that the GPL is the best license for building an open source business. The reasoning is straightforward: The GPL has a reciprocal property such that those who embed and distribute GPL software with their products need to open source their software. The practical upshot of the reciprocity is that some companies decide to open source their software and some seek a commercial license so they don't need to open source their software.
At MySQL, a good chunk of the early revenues came from software and appliance companies who decided that while they loved MySQL, they would rather buy a commercial OEM license than convert their own applications to open source. This "Dual License" model helped make MySQL a successful business. We always viewed it as an example of the "quid pro quo" philosophy: If you want to adhere to the GPL and produce open source software, great; that helps increase the pool of open source software. But if you didn't want to open source your software, you can help by funding the development of open source software.
[ Related: Does GPL still matter? | InfoWorld's Savio Rodrigues explains why software vendors tend to stick with GPL. | Stay up to speed with the open source community via InfoWorld's Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
With the permissive licenses like Apache or BSD, you can do whatever you want with the software without any obligation. There are no implications that software that builds on Apache or BSD needs to be open source. I'm not saying that one license model is better than the other; they have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Matt Asay has recently written that SpringSource's $420 million acquisition may bode well for more use of the Apache license over the GPL:

A visit to the doctor's office is supposed to make you feel better, from a sore throat to wheezing and coughing.
But some patients are now feeling sick to their stomachs after FOX 5 uncovered a serious threat to their privacy.
This story started after a viewer contacted us concerned about what he found on his monthly visit to the Fairfax County dump.
The viewer told us there were multiple boxes with the files in them. Just like what you would see in a doctor's office.
Boxes of medical files discovered in the recycling bin, sitting right on top of the other trash.
Inside each file, private information: health histories, test results, surgeries performed, pictures, insurance cards, addresses, even bank account information.
"The state of Virginia is very specific as it relates to disposal of medical records," says Diane Powers with the Virginia Department of Health Professions, which oversees practitioners.
She says state law mandates doctors hold onto medical records for six years after the patient's last visit. Then they should be destroyed in a manner that protects patients' confidentiality.
"Incineration and shredding are the chief ways medical records are disposed of in the state of Virginia," explains Powers.
Most of the patients in the files found still live in the area. We spoke to two of them.
Tisha Thompson: "You see that? That's how we found you. It's got your Social Security number. It's got all kinds of stuff. So, we're returning the files."
A file for Chip Finley and his wife both ended up in the dumpster. It was a big surprise, especially considering his line of work.
Thompson: "What do you do for a living?" Finley: "IT security."
Finley says he barely even remembers going to this doctor.
"We had just moved up to the area. And I think we may have just seen this doctor once or twice. Well I'm glad we didn't stick with him."
Over in Reston we returned Mary Ellen Erickson's file.
"It's very upsetting," exclaimed Erickson. "Oh, my gosh. It even has my Virginia license on here. That's terrible."
She hopes this was a one time mistake. "I think that person needs to be reprimanded."
FOX 5 tracked the files to the Family Health Center on Town Center Parkway in Reston.
The office is run by Dr. Eric Havens.
He declined to go on camera. But his attorney sent us a letter saying, "Dr. Havens wishes to express his deep regret that medical records of his patients were inadvertently included in the disposal of other non-medical records. This isolated incident is outside of the usual office procedures and protocols for the destruction of patients' records."
Mistakes like this could lead to disciplinary action by the state Board of Medicine and possible penalties under the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
"We take each one of these cases extremely seriously. Each case is considered on a case by case basis," says Powers.
Former patient Erickson worries, "If this fell into the wrong hands who knows what could have happened."
Finley told us, "This is unacceptable. Certainly no way to treat customers."
But ironically, both the state and HIPAA say medical records belong to the physician. And told FOX 5 we should give them back to Dr. Havens, which we did.
His attorneys picked them up from the station. And assured us the files would be destroyed properly this time.
Dr. Havens did tell us by phone he normally shreds files on site once or twice a year. He suspects workers he hired to remove trash might have inadvertently grabbed the wrong boxes.
The state told FOX 5 patients should file a complaint if they think their records have been mishandled. Virginia has opened a case to find out if Dr. Havens violated the law.

Hilary Duff Dishes On Introducing Dogs To Baby Luca, Reveals Plans For More Children
Hilary Duff gave birth to her first child – son Luca – in March, and the new mom is treasuring every minute of motherhood.
So, is the 25-year-old actress planning on giving little Luca a baby brother or sister any time soon?
"[My husband] Mike and I are literally so obsessed with Luca. We're like, 'He's perfect — we should just [have] one and [be] done,'" Hilary told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Friday's Access Hollywood Live, when asked if she and Mike want to have more children. "But I think once your baby starts getting older, you miss that baby phase and you go in for round two.
Adding, "I think maybe [we'll have another baby] when [Luca] is two or three."
For now, the actress – who recently took to Twitter to proudly announce she's once again fitting into her pre-baby skinny jeans – said she's content with just one little man for now, as he's very curious and keeps her on her toes.
"He's into everything. I'm like, running around the house trying to keep up with him — he's so fast," she said. "He loves the Christmas tree… he's just busy."
An avid dog-lover (she recently contributed to the new book, "A Letter To My Dog: Notes To Our Best Friends"), Hilary explained how she helped prepare her pups for Luca's arrival in order to quell any possible canine jealousy.
"We kicked the dogs out of the bed about a month before Luca came so that they didn't blame the baby for why they couldn't sleep in the bed anymore," she said. "And we gave them a blanket to smell that Luca's smell had been on in the hospital and it worked!
"Mike brought Luca in, I came in, gave the blanket to the dogs and loved on them and said 'Hi,' and they've been fine with him," she added.
"A Letter To My Dog: Notes To Our Best Friends," which also features contributions from Oprah Winfrey, Kristin Chenoweth and more, is available in stores now.

Top Teachers: Stephanie Tucker
Crestview E.S., preschool
Years spent working in the mortgage industry left Stephanie Tucker with a vacant feeling. During a drive past a Henrico school one day, she saw a sign inviting applications for an instructional assistant position. She interviewed and soon had a job at Crestview Elementary working in one of the school's Head Start preschool classes (now known as Federal Programs Preschool).
"It was like a light bulb went on," Tucker said.
Six years later, she realizes every day that she made the right decision.
"As a kid, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I came back to that, I just knew this is where I needed to be."
From her perch on the front line of preschool education, Tucker has seen the difference it can make for students.
"Preschool is such a critical age," Tucker said. "You can turn on or turn off a child's love of learning. If you've got a nurturing, safe environment, then you're giving them one of the tools that they need to be successful.
"It's really wonderful that the public is really embracing preschool as more than daycare."
Though the program at Crestview, and those at other Henrico elementaries, pull students from different attendance zones, some of Tucker's students have continued at Crestview. Several of her first students are now fifth-graders at the school whose continued development she has enjoyed watching.
"Mrs. Tucker rolls up her sleeves and brings joy and determination to the classroom," one nominator wrote. "Her students are higher needs [students] but she does not see them as such. Her zest for engaging them is limitless."
For Tucker, it's a simple concept.
"Kids are kids, and their basic needs are that they want to be safe and happy, and they want to learn," she said. "If you can provide that, then they're successful."
For the youngsters in her class, there is amazement in some of life's simplest lessons, such as watching caterpillar larvae turn into butterflies or taking a nature walk.
"So many kids, depending on their background, that's not happened in their life," she said. "That's a great experience. One of the neatest things about it is that kids that age are just 'eyes wide open,' unbiased about everything around them. Everything is exciting. I get so much from them by watching all those 'ah-ha' moments.
"One thing I think is important is that children absolutely deserve respect. They need to feel that they're valued. Every child deserves that. Most times when you give a child respect, then you get that back from them."

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014

BROOKLYN — Understanding the principles of bedbug intervention strategies and learning the best ways to implement an effective monitoring program are now made simple through a new video offered by AP&G, according to a press release.
This free, three-minute program provides new insights to the value that early detection can provide, the release noted.
It also outlines the clear benefits of their Catchmaster line''s new "passive" detection system called Bedbug Detection System (BDS), which is designed specifically to monitor for bedbugs on a large scale, the release stated.
"This program was created specifically for the needs of pest management professionals or anyone faced with the prospect of bedbug infestations," said Jonathan Frisch, AP&G''s vice president of sales and marketing.
"By fully appreciating the true threat that exists for everyone, and becoming aware of resources like the BDS monitoring system, steps can be taken to implement an intervention strategy and help identify infestations at the earliest possible moment," Frisch added.
According to the release, BDS is a patented "passive" monitoring device designed to detect bedbugs before they proliferate and infest a new location.

text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- The ballyhooed timetable regarding the potential return of Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel has finally been released. "I spoke to the doctors, it will be four-to-six weeks from now," head coach Doug Marrone informed reporters. "So the earliest will be four and the latest will be six weeks without any setback. That's how we feel. He's doing well and he's in rehab working hard." Manuel sprained the LCL in his right knee during the team's Week Five loss on Thursday night to the Cleveland Browns. The Bills have been reluctant to spill out information regarding when their first round pick might return, but now after speaking with the team's medical staff they have an outlook they're willing to share. "Am I disappointed? No," Marrone said. "I want to make sure that he's healthy when he comes back." With the current prognostication, Manuel could be back as early as the November 17 home game against the New York Jets or as late the first game after their bye week, the yearly trip to Toronto to take on the Atlanta Falcons at the Rogers Centre on December 1. Until that time, the Bills will be going with Thad Lewis as their starting quarterback barring any injuries or changes of heart. In his first start with the team, Lewis completed 19-of-32 passes for 216 yards, threw two touchdowns, ran for another and also lost a fumble. Through five games, Manuel completed 56.7-percent of his passes for 985 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. Even though his numbers haven't been jaw-dropping, Marrone is looking forward to the rookie's return. "Obviously where he is in the rehabilitation process I'm happy that we're gonna get him back out there." Lewis and the rest of the Bills will be up against the Miami Dolphins this weekend in southern Florida. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

Initially booked for few days but decided to extend for our whole stay on the Thai islands. For the fan bungalows I think the best choice on the island. Resort is beautiful, nice swimming pool, good food in restaurant and design of the interior is very tasteful. Close to the beach (2 min.) which is beautiful and peaceful. Rent a motorbike to go to the other beaches.

We stayed in one of the basic fan rooms which was perfect for us. Lovely people, good restaurant (late night drinks) and pool with a jacuzzi - very reasonable for Koh Samui. Wifi only in the reception area, but lets face it - you're more likely to be on the beach or in the pool.

Post subject: Robert Kirby - book of condolence
Hi everyone.
Thought it might be a nice idea to start a virtual book of condolence in Robert's memory here. It would be great if everyone could take a minute or two to add a thought about Robert's contribution to Nick's music and what it means to us. Once we've collected enough responses I'll forward them to Nick's estate to pass on to Robert's family as a gesture to reflect the huge impact his work has had.
OK, I'll go first...

I love Nick Drake's music and have done for almost 20 years. I love his melodies and the wonderfully distinctive and intimate guitar style. I keep coming back to these albums year after year and one big reason for that is the arrangements - simply put I can't think of a better synergy in all of popular music than Robert Kirby's arrangements and Nick Drake's songs.
We, as fans of Nick's music, are eternally indebted to Robert for the skill and artistry he brought to them. We were also honoured that Robert took the time to speak to us about his work with Nick and that he occasionally stopped by the forum to add a thought or say hello.
Thanks Robert, we'll miss you.

My heart goes out to Robert's wife and family. I only met Robert a couple of times but he lit up the room with his good natured, gregarious presence. He must have been a great influence on those who had more time with him.
I listened to "Way To Blue" as that track more than any other is just pure Nick Drake & Robert Kirby. It bought a tear to my eye hearing it, knowing now they were both gone.
You set the bar high and showed us what was possible in music.
Peace and Music

On hearing of Roberts passing I listened to Bryter Layter for the first time in ages yesterday. With Robert in mind I listened to the string and brass arrangements with a fresh pair of ears and was left convinced, more so than ever, that the contribution he made to Nicks music is immeasurable.
Like many contributors to this forum I regard Pink Moon as a masterwork as it possesses a combination of intimacy and purity rarely found in recorded music. However, the other side of Nick Drake we all love is his ability to connect with nature and reflect his surroundings in his music and this is undoubtedly enhanced greatly by Roberts skilful and sympathetic arrangements. Imagine Hazey Jane I without the sweeping, ebbing strings or The Chime of a City Clock without the evocation of sunny, city streets and hustle-bustle afforded to it by Roberts clever lines and melodies. When Nick chose Robert to work with him and wrote to his parents that he was, quite hip to my music the great British talent for understatement was at play. Robert undoubtedly knew what Nick heard in his head and was able to realise this where others before had failed. Bryter Layter has been criticised by some as been over-produced with too many elements besides Nicks voice and guitar but I see both Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter as being works of not only one genius but two.
It is all too easy to be overshadowed when working with a talent such as Nicks but lets not overlook the immeasurable contribution Robert Kirby made to the music of Nick Drake.
Thank-you for such a great gift Robert and RIP.

A big part of the attraction or appeal with Nick's music are the arrangements, and we all know who did them. Robert's contribution to Nick's music was enormous and he'll be missed, no doubt.

I don't know how I could have failed to notice this thread, begun in October, but just have to say Robert Kirby's passing is yet another loss to the music world.
I never had the honor to meet him. But from my heart I am always thankful to him for being such a good friend to Nick. Besides being a personal friend, he also lent his considerable artistic talent to Nick's works.

I think many humans were made to love magic, Robert. Otherwise, how to know your talent and your work with Nick Drake and do not love this? How to be not amazed and delighted by the beauty you built with your music?
I found Nick Drake (and you) at a little time ago and definetely that brought me a world of changes. As I read and learn, I notice a huge hearted man, humble and modest. What a thing to find on music business, it's a miracle.
There is more to admire on you, as your faithfullness to a friend, your love for music and your work. And I just came in now. Certainly it will be much more to see.
Then I pray you are at peace. And I pray your loved ones have comfort and divine love shed over their lives.

PokéMusical is a Hollywood Fringe Festival double award winner for Pokémon geeks and non alike!
PokeMusicalTheatre Asylum & Lab (6320 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA) Map it $20
PokéMusical played at the 2013 Hollywood Fringe Festival to great acclaim, winning two awards. Its strong, impressive performances easily sweep audiences into a decidedly lo-fi version of an anime world, while the energetic musical score grabs attention with its verve and wit. The well-crafted choreography matches the oddity and fun of the original Japanese show. Pokémon aka "Pocket Monster" geeks attend the show in full-force. The show plays as solidly for them as the civilians portraying the Pokémon universe with a sweet twistedness. Get ready for an expected good time as you learn how to use some Poké-balls to capture a monster or two, too.- Kenneth Hughes

I am a fully devoted follower of christ, well thats what i would like to be able to say. The fact is fully devoted describes only a very small percentage of christians, I believe striving follower would be the better term at least for myself. I feel that God is calling me into ministry, I am just uncertain of what kind of ministry that would be. I am a pastor's kid, and I love music. I play many different instruments. If you wanna know more about me, just talk to me.

Storms moved though parts of Douglas, Dodge and Washington counties between 1 and 2 a.m.. Winds with the storms were pegged between 40 and 60 miles an hour.
Much of the damage was in the form of downed trees, which in turn pull down power lines when they fall.
A map showing power outages from OPPD showed that the area most hard hit was generally from 132nd street east to the river and from Maple Road north.
In one incident at 28th and Craig a huge tree came down between two properties and landed on top of one person's car.
In another case OPPD workers were sent to the area of 25th and Polk because of reports of sparking power lines.
By mid-morning Monday there had been no reports of any injuries. The city of Omaha was not reporting any overnight flooding from the storms.
Rainfall amounts varied widely but a few reporting stations indicate just under or over an inch of rain.

FAIRBANKS – The Bowling Green State University ice hockey team defeated Alaska-Fairbanks Friday night, dropping the Nanooks by a score of 3-2 at the Carlson Center. Juniors Bryce Williamson, Brett Mohler and freshman Mark Cooper scored the Falcon goals, while senior Andrew Hammond (2-6-1) turned away an impressive 39-of-41 shots in the win. Both teams were scoreless on the power play, with the Falcons going 0-for-4 and the Nanooks going 0-for-2.
Bowling Green scored the first goal of the contest, coming just before the midway point of the opening period.
Senior Bobby Shea started the play, fighting for puck possession along the left side of the Nanook zone. Shea found sophomore Marcus Perrier at the point, setting him up for a shot towards the Alaska cage. Alaska's Sean Cahill made the initial save, but let up a rebound to Williamson on the left side of the crease. Williamson slid the puck past the sprawling Cahill for his third goal of the season, giving Bowling Green the 1-0 lead.
Alaska wouldn't answer back until the middle frame, scoring an even-strength marker off the stick of sophomore Max Drummond just 4:08 into the second period.
With the game tied at 1-1, the Nanooks continued to pressure Bowling Green, outshooting the Falcons by a 10-5 margin. Hammond made several fantastic saves in the frame, holding the Nanooks to just one goal in the period. Despite the shot advantage, Bowling Green dominated on the score board, netting two more goals in the second stanza.
The first of the Falcons' two goals came at the 14:12 mark, after some great cycling with the puck down low. Sophomore Mike Sullivan fired the puck behind the Alaska net, where junior Cam Wojtala battled for possession. Wojtala sent the puck to the slot, where it deflected off a defender to Mohler at the left hash mark. Mohler fired a wrist shot through the crowd, beating Cahill for his second goal of the season.
With just 3:22 remaining in the frame, Bowling Green scored again to take a 3-1 lead. Shea once again started the play, gaining possession of the puck in the left circle of the Nanook zone. Shea sent the puck towards the crease, where it banked off sophomore Dan DeSalvo. Cooper collected the puck, and tipped it past Cahill for his fourth goal of the season.
Alaska would cut the Falcons' lead to 3-2 just under seven minutes into the final frame, taking advantage of a tip in front from Nanook Chad Gehon at even strength.
Bowling Green clung to the one goal lead for the remaining thirteen minutes, thanks in large part to the play of Hammond between the pipes. Hammond stopped 21-of-22 shots in the final frame, securing the Falcons' second conference win of the season.
The win pushes Bowling Green's overall record to 3-9-3, with a record of 2-6-2-1 in CCHA action. The loss drops Alaska's record to 6-8-3 overall, with a record of 4-7-2 in conference play.
Perrier's assist on the first Falcon goal marks his first point of the season and his first since March 11, a 4-3 OT win over Ferris State in the CCHA Playoffs last season.
Bowling Green's three goal output marked only the fifth time this season that the Falcons have scored more than two goals in a game. Their last came against Ferris State on Nov. 16, a 4-3 OT loss.
Hammond's 39 save effort was a season high, and marked the second consecutive game that he has made 30 saves or more.
Shea recorded two assists in the contest, marking the first multi-assist game of his career, and first multi-point game of the season.

The oldest of the four musical Marsalis brothers, Branford Marsalis has had an impressive career. After studying at Southern University and Berklee, Branford toured Europe with the Art Blakey big band in the summer of 1980 (playing baritone), played three months with Clark Terry, and then spent five months playing alto with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1981). He mostly played tenor and soprano while with Wynton Marsalis' influential group (1982-1985), at first sounding most influenced by Wayne Shorter but leaning more toward John Coltrane at the end. The musical telepathy between the two brothers (who helped to revive the sound of the mid-'60s Miles Davis Quintet) was sometimes astounding. Branford toured with Herbie Hancock's V.S.O.P. II. in 1983 and recorded with Miles Davis (1984's Decoy). In 1985, when he left Wynton to join Sting's pop/rock group, it caused a major (if temporary) rift with his brother that made headlines. Marsalis enjoyed playing with Sting but did not let the association cause him to forget his musical priorities. By 1986, he was leading his own group which eventually consisted of pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Bob Hurst, and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts; sometimes the band was a piano-less trio that really allowed Marsalis to stretch out. After a couple of film appearances (in School Daze and Throw Mama from the Train), Branford Marsalis became even more of a celebrity when he joined Jay Leno's Tonight Show as the musical director in 1992. However, being cast in the role of Leno's sidekick rubbed against Marsalis' temperament and after two years he had had enough. Branford Marsalis, who attempted to mix together hip-hop and jazz in his erratic Buckshot LeFonque project, has recorded steadily for Columbia ever since 1983 (including a classical set). In 2002, having left Columbia, Marsalis formed his own label Marsalis Music. Intended as a true independent label focused on supporting the development of musicians, Marsalis Music has released albums by such diverse artists as guitarist/vocalist Doug Wamble, pianist/vocalist Harry Connick, Jr., saxophonist Miguel Zenón, and others. Marsalis himself also kept busy releasing a handful of albums on the label including Footsteps of Our Fathers, which featured his take on the classic John Coltrane composition "A Love Supreme" in 2002, Romare Bearden Revealed in 2003, Eternal in 2004, Braggtown in 2006, and Metamorphosen in 2009. In 2011, Marsalis delivered the duo album Songs of Mirth and Melancholy featuring pianist Joey Calderazzo. In the spring of 2012, the Marsalis quartet -- Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis, and the young drummer Jason Faulkner -- released Four MF's Playin Tunes. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

The Edmonton Oilers open auditions for "big guy with skill" got some good news last night from both Rexall and Calgary, and for Oiler fans it could mean two new faces in the crowd. The key item is finding guys who can actually play–take and make a pass, not let the play "die on their stick" to borrow from the MacT phrasebook, and to be a factor in the hockey portion of each game.
Long time Oiler fans will remember this player–the big guy who can play with skill–is basically a unicorn in Oiler lore. Unlike the center problem (solved, really, the day they took RNH), the big, tough 2-way winger who can take and make a pass (I envision a young Ryan Smyth, the Oilers often appear to envision Ivan Drago on skates) gets the lower draft picks and the Coke Machine bio and then we end up with threads like this one.
It's fun to go back over the years and look at what Oiler coaching staffs tried to do in order to fill the role:
- 2008-09: MacT always had size on his teams but they were also hockey players. The 08-09 list included Dustin Penner (17-20-37), Ethan Moreau (14-12-26) and Erik Cole (16-11-27 before he was traded). MacT also used guys in secondary roles (Stortini an example) who had size.
- 2009-10: Pat Quinn's opening night lineup suggested big men were the most important item for the club. His 1line had Horcoff and Hemsky with JF Jacques, Penner with Brule and Cogliano, Ryan Stone with Mike Comrie and Patrick O'Sullivan and Moreau and Stortini with slow Schremp.
- 2010-11: Tom Renney did what I would have done–he basically ignored it. Tom Renney's Oiler teams make a lot of sense compared to Quinn's, but I think a lot of that had to do with Renney saying "we're not going to worry about what we don't have, we're going to worry about getting the most out of what we do have" and so he had size on the 4line and Penner played a high profile role, but beyond that he rode the kids, Horcoff and Hemsky.
- 2011-12: Tambellini went out and got Ben Eager in the off-season, but Renney never got to use him really. Renney's second season was a little different–he added Nuge and lost Paajarvi and Omark, but I think year one's mission statement still applied–go with the best players, we don't have big men with skill so we're going to play smaller men with skill in their place.
- L1: RNH-Hall-Eberle
- L2: Gagner-Yakupov-Hemsky
- L3: Horcoff-Smyth-Hartikainen
- L4: Belanger-Eager-Petrell
- D1: Smid-Petry
- D2: Whitney-J Schultz
- D3: N Schultz-Potter
- G1: Dubnyk
The audition for Krueger was twofold–they tried to get Hartikainen in a good spot for success, but they also had a veteran 4line that boasted Eager and he is a guy who remains in the mix for this season.
So, since MacT left as coach, the guys coming in auditioned (by my count) JF Jacques, Ryan Stone, Eager and Hartikainen, with a total of zero of them working out. Is that fair? Remember, we're looking for a guy to establish himself here, to become Penner without the offer sheet (and of course the coach has to be able to go through a day without fantasizing about killing him) and to play with skill.
Well, a big man who can pass and take a pass, go to the tough areas, and add to the group is useful. Quoting Tom Benjamin:
- It is very difficult to score off an offensive zone cycle without getting a player to the front of the net. That is a hockey truism that is not a myth.
I agree with that, but it's also true (and Benjamin lays it out beautifully here) it has to work in order to have sustain and NHL teams spend gobs of time and money trying to get these damn things to mesh. The Oilers have had no sustain in this area save Penner (and Smyth before him) to the point where a haggard Smyth may still be the best remaining option.
- Jesse Joensuu: a goal, an assist and 5 shots on goal–good things all for a guy on a 2-year, one way deal with the big club. 16:22 last night and I think you could make a case he was the best forward on the ice.
- Ryan Hamilton: an assist, 18:59 on ice and from all reports he did fine (skating may be an issue, but that's the case with everyone in this group of Oilers this fall).
- Ryan Smyth: scored a Smytty goal, skated hard, worked like a bugger. I love Ryan Smyth.
Joensuu to my eye. He was strong on the puck, his goal was the kind of tally Edmonton will need in addition to the beauties, and he can take and make a pass. I'm not saying Joensuu is going to play on the top 6F, but he's going to get a roster spot if he keeps playing like this and sooner or later someone is going to suggest him as a PP option for blocking out the sun in front of the net.
This isn't over.

Twenty Twelve and Buddypress 1.7
Hey everyone, I wanted to change to the twenty twelve theme for my bp site since it should be compatible now with the 1.7 version however there are some problems for my site when I activated twenty twelve.
1, The membership directory is all messed up, first you have to click on a link to see all the members rather than it showing all the members right away. And when the members are visible they are all squeezed together so that the profile information becomes unreadable.
Is there a way to use the bp-default membership directory template? I tried to insert the members-loop.php to my twenty twelve theme but no luck so far? Anyone has any advice to fix this?
2. The second issue is that the login sidebar seems to be below the content for some pages.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I would really appreacite some help on these problems.

Scientific Preaching and its Necessity in modern life4,300 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Scientific Preaching and its Necessity in modern life
By Ramvijay das
Dr. Ramgopal Uppaluri
Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati
As Inspired by the wonderful pastimes of His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami.
The present day world is well moving ahead with technological breakthrough. Based on the developments in the material world, we have to adapt and regulate our life for serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the summum bonum of preaching communicated by bonafide Acharyas. With the growing influencing of technology on young minds, scientific preaching front appears mandatory. The following sections highlight what we shall target.
Conceptual framework
To tune one to take up scientific aspects of Krsna Consciousness, one has to present matters scientifically. If we proceed towards a graduate engineer in Computer Science who does ground breaking research and believes in modern science, we have to explain him through the facets of modern science.
The first and foremost thing we have to advocate is to project the philosophy behind modern science. Modern science involves experimentation, observation and inference. However, the critical aspect of modern science is that we design our experiment based on our intellect. Therefore, limitations of intellect limit our inferences. With growing research towards modern sciences in the fields of nanotechnology and biotechnology it may appear that modern science is well bent to crack the secrets of nature. But the following have to be observed:
a)For each experiment, try to project the philosophy of the experiment and its outcome
b)For each experiment, see what alternative approaches have been formulated
c)For each experiment, see how it can be connected to other experiments to visualize spirituality and its presence.
In this way, the true nature of modern science can be properly understood.
Illustrative examples
Numerous examples are provided by His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja who has advocated that examples are the best way to convey scientifically the Bhagavata Dharma. Bhagavad Gita also needs to be explained scientifically at some point. This has been presented by Maharaja todate in his classic book: Life, Matter and their Interactions. Therefore, we request those interested to perform scientific preaching to kindly contact us at Bhaktivedanta Institute, Kolkata.
Humility: Accept scientific wisdom
The best way of winning other's heart is to accept that they are knowledgeable, intelligent and conveying logically the scientific wisdom. However, the supremacy of the scriptures and failure of modern scientists to create a life particle to date from inanimate entities is the most important point that has to be stressed from our end. This has to be once again explained in scientific terms only.
Philosophical synthesis of Science & Spirituality
Both science and spirituality are well bent towards discovering the ultimate reality. While science uses senses for acquiring knowledge, spirituality depends on higher intervention and prayers. Therefore, the means of acquiring absolute knowledge is common for both disciplines. Since science and spirituality are prominent fields of present day's interest, both fields should be taken positively and applied for better understanding the horizons of science and religion and they way we need to deal with these two complicated subject matter.
If you wish to have further details on scientific preaching, please contact me at email@example.com.
