The Associated Press
DUNLAP, Calif. — The investigation into a lion attack that killed a 24-year-old woman who loved big cats is focusing on a cage door that the 550-pound animal managed to escape through to reach the volunteer intern, officials say.
Dianna Hanson

The Associated Press
Authorities said Thursday they believe the 5-year-old male lion broke the neck of the woman at a Central California animal park after it got out of its feeding cage and attacked as she cleaned its bigger area.
The investigation is continuing into how the powerful beast and Dianna Hanson came tragically to be in the same place at the same time, Fresno County coroner David Hadden said.
"The lion had been fed, the young woman was cleaning the large enclosure, and the lion was in the small cage. The gate of the cage was partially open, which allowed the lion called Cous Cous to lift it up with his paw," Hadden said, based on a briefing from investigators. "He ran at the young lady."
Hanson was talking with a co-worker on a cellphone in the moments before she was killed, the coroner said. The co-worker became concerned when the conversation ended abruptly and Hanson failed to call back. The co-worker then called authorities when she went to check on Hanson.
Hadden said the lion broke Hanson's neck, probably with a swipe of a paw, killing her instantly.
Sheriff's deputies shot Cous Cous after he couldn't be coaxed away from Hanson's body.
Hanson had been working for two months as an intern at Cat Haven, a 100-acre private zoo east of Fresno. Her father, Paul Hanson, described his daughter as a "fearless" lover of big cats and said her goal was to work with the animals at an accredited zoo. She died doing what she loves, he said.
That love was apparent on her Facebook page, which is plastered with photos of her petting tigers and other big cats. She told her father she was frustrated that Cat Haven did not allow direct contact with animals.
"She was disappointed because she said they wouldn't let her into the cages with the lion and tiger there," said Paul Hanson, a Seattle-area attorney.
The owner of the zoo said Thursday that safety protocols were in place but he would not discuss them because they are a part of the law enforcement investigation. Dale Anderson said he's the only person allowed in the enclosure when lions are present.
"We want to assure the community that we have followed all safety protocols," Anderson said. "We have been incident-free since 1998 when we opened."
Friends of Dianna Hanson recalled her passion for cat conservation.
"She was lovely, energetic, athletic. She did everything she could to help our conservation efforts," said Kat Combes of the Soysambu Conservancy in Kenya, where Hanson recently had volunteered to work in the Cheetah Research Center.
The reddish-haired young woman sustained numerous bites and scratches in Wednesday's attack, and the autopsy revealed they were inflicted after she died.
"Which means the young lady ... wasn't alive when the lion was tossing the body about," said Hadden, the coroner. "We think the lion hit her with his paw and that's what fractured her neck."
When the attack occurred, Anderson said he and two other Cat Haven workers had left to take a cheetah to exhibit at a school. Hanson and another worker were left behind.

On Monday, January 21, 2008, concerns about deteriorating economic conditions in the United States caused a precipitous fall in the Asian markets. Investors in Hong Kong and Tokyo besieged brokerage firms. Markets in the United States happened to be closed, for the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday, but U.S. stock-futures trading in foreign markets showed a sharp decline. In the press, the day was dubbed "Black Monday." Fears of a worldwide financial collapse were so intense that the U.S. Federal Reserve held an extraordinary emergency meeting. Before trading began in New York that Tuesday, the Fed announced a three-quarter-point cut in the federal funds rate, the largest in more than two decades. The news initially caused U.S. markets to drop, but they soon stabilized.
Two days later, representatives of Société Générale, whose innovative and sophisticated trading operations had made it one of the world's most admired financial institutions, asked that trading in its stock be halted. The bank had discovered that one of its traders had taken "massive fraudulent directional positions in 2007 and 2008," and that he had concealed them "through a scheme of elaborate fictitious transactions." The bank incurred a net loss of 4.9 billion euros—said to be the largest trading fraud in banking history.
The trader, a thirty-one-year-old Breton named Jérôme Kerviel, became an instant and notorious celebrity. Because so little was known about him, speculation abounded: that he might be at risk of suicide; that he had abandoned his apartment in Neuilly-sur-Seine, an affluent Paris suburb close to Société Générale's headquarters, and might have fled; that the police had discovered a Koran in his apartment, which suggested possible terrorist links.
Most baffling was the question of motive. There was no evidence that Kerviel had stolen anything, and he had none of the trappings of wealth. When the police went to his home, they found a sparsely furnished one-bedroom apartment; he didn't own a country house, or even a car. In interviews with the French police and a court-appointed psychologist, Kerviel claimed that his primary concern was to benefit the bank.
Société Générale's top officers and directors and their colleagues in the French business establishment considered Kerviel's activities an isolated case of fraud, according to an internal report. Jérôme Kerviel was a flambeur ("high roller"), a joueur ("gambler"). His ambition, greed, and, perhaps, even madness threatened not merely an august national institution but the entire international financial system. Moreover, as commentators in the press pointed out, the culprit was a graduate of a trade school rather than of a grande école. He had entered the bank through a side door—the "middle office"—and advanced beyond his station, affirming the practical wisdom of France's rigid educational system and its distrust of the dangerously romantic notion that anyone can reach the top.
But many French citizens saw the situation differently: Kerviel was the victim of a profit-obsessed bank, which largely existed to extract revenue from the struggling working and middle classes while enriching its top officers and shareholders. Surely Jérôme Kerviel, the naïve provincial, who was good-natured, hardworking, and handsome (his colleagues noted his resemblance to Tom Cruise), was manipulated and encouraged by his su-periors. How could one person have amassed an exposure, as Kerviel had, of fifty billion euros without his superiors at the bank knowing? After his photograph appeared in the press, strangers approached him on the street and in cafés, seeking autographs and offering encouragement. In a poll commissioned by Le Figaro a week after the bank's announcement of the loss, just thirteen per cent of the respondents blamed Kerviel for the scandal; fifty per cent blamed Société Générale.
Now that the financial world is enduring its most serious turmoil since the Great Depression, and public outrage is focussed on financial chief executives and their multimillion-dollar incomes, Kerviel looks even less like an isolated rogue trader, and more like a harbinger of systemic failure: the intricate investing vehicles that few understood; the impotence of internal risk controls; the moral blindness in the face of mounting profits; and, above all, greed. The F.B.I. says that it is investigating twenty-six financial insti-tutions in the U.S.—they reportedly include Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and A.I.G. Jérôme Kerviel may be only the first of many traders to face the prospect of years in prison.
Pont-l'Abbé, Jérôme Kerviel's na-tive village, is in Brittany, near the westernmost point in France. It's a small settlement on an estuary off the Atlantic, where sailing boats dock just steps from a medieval castle and an ancient bridge. Signs appear in both French and Breton, a Celtic language with characteristic hard-"k" sounds, as in the name Kerviel. Jérôme and his older brother, Olivier, who also went into finance, grew up in a cottage on the outskirts of the village. Their father was a blacksmith who taught at a technical school in the nearby city of Quimper. He built a small foundry on one side of their house; a rose garden and neat hedges divide the front garden from the foundry's parking lot. Their mother owned a hair salon, and tended the garden.
Jérôme's mother and older relatives doted on him. He was well behaved at school, and as a teen-ager he often helped his mother at the salon. He loved sailing on the estuary and excelled at judo, which he taught to younger students. In the evening, the Kerviels debated current events and business at the dinner table, but the brothers attribute their interest in markets and finance to a teacher at the lycée who schooled them in the basics of economics and stock markets. Perhaps the most electrifying influence was the 1987 movie "Wall Street," which starred Michael Douglas as an Ivan Boesky-type arbitrageur and inside trader. The brothers weren't attracted as much by the central character, who is, after all, a criminal, as by the excitement of the trading floor.

Ake stars as Benitez snaps following Chelsea FA Cup win
A win, a replay avoided and key players rested - all in all, Chelsea's 2-0 win over Middlesbrough in the fifth round of the FA Cup delivered what was required.
- Angry Benitez fires broadside
The game was not without its concerns, though. Eight changes might have been made from the team that started against Manchester City on Sunday, yet the European champions were made to toil for a large period of the game at the Riverside Stadium. The first half was Chelsea's season in microcosm. A bright start ultimately faded into nothingness as a failure to capitalise on openings created or maintain any momentum saw halftime arrive without a goal from the boys in blue, just like against Leeds United and both matches against Brentford, each of which was also lower league opposition.
The lack of confidence throughout the team -- perfectly encapsulated by Fernando Torres -- means that any spurned chance results in players retreating from responsibility in the hope that one of their colleagues might seize the initiative. Thankfully, in Eden Hazard, Chelsea have a player whom they can call on who never hides or shirks his duties except, at times, defensively. The Belgian's introduction from the substitutes' bench at the expense of Yossi Benayoun was the pivotal moment in this tie, with his direct running and tricky feet proving too hot for the Championship side to handle.
Driving at defenders with impeccable balance, he drew his opponents away from his teammates to create space for others and his interchange with Oscar and Victor Moses for the second goal was the standout moment of the match. There have been a few questions asked of Hazard following a dip in form and effectiveness during the back end of 2012, though he remains a player who possesses genuine world-class ability and a knack for changing games in favour of his team. It would be nice if a few others were able to follow his - and Juan Mata's - example.
As vital as Hazard's performance was, his was not the most impressive display of the evening. Nathan Ake started his first match for the senior team and shone from start to finish. It is hard to gauge a young player's prospects based on one first-team outing, especially when it is against opposition from a tier below that has lost seven of its previous nine league matches, but he made as eye-catching a debut as you can in such circumstances.
Stationed alongside Ramires as one of two defensive midfielders, the young Dutchman patrolled his area of the pitch with authority and showed excellent timing in regards to making challenges and intercepting the play. Just as encouraging was Ake's eye for a pass and on a number of occasions he was able to pick out an incisive first-time, pinpoint pass to set the team motoring in the right direction.
For a club that rarely bloods its youngsters, it was refreshing to see a youthful talent be given his chance, yet at the same time it was strange to see John Terry play a full 90 minutes. Rafael Benitez omitted the club captain from the team that played at the Etihad Stadium, citing a lack of fitness from his full participation against Sparta Prague last Thursday. Giving a player a run out to gain physical sharpness is fully understandable, though it seems strange to prioritise his minutes in the Cup competitions over the greater imperative that is a top-four finish in the Premier League.
In any case, it is hard to know precisely what the Spaniard's aims are now that he has made it clear that he doesn't see his future at Chelsea. In a postmatch interview he described his appointment as interim manager as a "massive mistake," which is something that almost every supporter will agree with. His subsequent complaints about the fans not supporting him and actively singing songs against him do have a certain validity -- such a rancorous atmosphere is never going to do the players on the pitch any favours -- but it does mean that those dissenting voices will grow ever louder over Benitez's final few weeks at Stamford Bridge.
Such a display of defiance is unlikely to go down well with Roman Abramovich, who might see fit to make yet another change in the dugout as a result, especially should the match against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday not go according to plan. However Benitez's time in charge had gone he was never likely to win the hearts and minds of the club's supporters, though an upturn in fortunes on the playing field might well have seen any open dissent quelled.
Unfortunately for everyone, he has failed to arrest the slide and he cannot be surprised at such displeasure. Whatever he is or isn't, Benitez is not a stupid man and he would have been well aware of what he was letting himself in for when he took the job. His complaints about the fans' protests causing the team harm might have foundation, but publicly rising to the bait, however understandably, could prove to be just as counterproductive.
Nevertheless, Chelsea will travel to Manchester United in the next round of the FA Cup and -- should he still be in the post -- Benitez will be able to lock horns once again with another old foe, Sir Alex Ferguson. At least a disdain for Britain's most decorated manager is something that both the Chelsea interim manager and the club's fans have in common.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Loved the cards...they are gorgeous and unique! However, the paper appears creamier on screen then it does in reality and I don't love that the envelopes are pure white, because my invitation suite was ecru. Nevertheless, I love the cards themselves and am happy overall with my purchase."
"This card caught my eye online. I'm attracted to pretty colors & flowers, mostly in exotic print. In person, the card exceeded my expectation & was simply gorgeous. The quality of the paper was suburb. The selected print was a nice touch. I would not hesitate to order another product here again. Both cards, my wedding invite & thank you, was simply gorgeous!"
"My wedding theme was grey but having the ability to combine peacocks somewhere in the wedding was great. I used the whole peacock plume range. These cards are so simple, but great because you have enough room to say what you want to say like 'thanks for coming, we spent your $$ on a helicopter flight' (we went to New York - thats a big deal when you live in Sydney)."
"These cards are so pretty. They are perfect for our garden wedding. We will be very proud to send them to thank our family and friends after our wedding!"
"We're very happy to have cute thank you cards that match our beautiful invites. I'm actually sad that I can't use them for gifts we're receiving before the wedding, because the thank you cards have my married name on them! I can't wait to send them out after the wedding!"

The Cowboys offense once again score 30 points or better under Kitna. Makes you wonder if Romo is the product of the talent that surrounds him? Again, great job by Kitna and the offense.
Special Teams
Buehler is coming along, maybe a little too late. However, he has kicked 2 game winning field goals which should boost his confidence. McBriar placed a punt inside the 5 that was crucial after he had shanked a 20 yarder. Good comeback after muffing one.
Rex Grossman threw 3 interceptions against the Cowboys' "D", but he also threw for over 300 yards and 4 touchdowns. Rex Grossman! I mean Rex Grossman shredded the Cowboys' "D"! Rex Grossman! It is the 3rd or 4th game in a row that the defense blows a lead and allows an opponent to comeback. Just don't know how to close the deal, no killer instinct.

can you make it out the next day? thanks
Can you make it up...is what I meant to type
If I miss a day, I usually piggy back my workout on the next day's regimen. For instance, it's Monday and I'm supposed to do LBWO. Tuesday is cardio day. If I miss Monday, I usually just start with cardio on Tuesday, then I'll do my LBWO, if time permits. If time doesn't permit, I try to squeeze in the most vital leg exercises (like squats) and call it a day.
Come visit my blog!
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you'll be right!
I go by the book, which says: "If you missed a workout, you missed it." I tried to double up once and got SO tired as a result of the intensity. It really made a negative impact on my week.
The other thing you can do is say "Okay, today is my Free Day" and forsake your planned Free Day. This is something I have heard from Champions, and something I did this week when I missed two days in a row. It makes for a long stretch until your next Free Day, but ensures you get in all your workouts without doing two workouts in one day.

Here's some news that both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney would like you to ignore: Tens of thousands of American soldiers are at war this summer in Afghanistan.
Though you'd never know it from listening to the candidates, U.S. Marine and Army units have been fighting hard against the Afghan Taliban across the south and east of the country. They are taking considerable casualties. In July, according to the Web site icasualties.org, 46 American and coalition troops were killed — the highest total since last September. Six more died in the first few days of August.

Seattle >Wholesale Foods > The Essential Baking Company
1604 N 34th St, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810347.648165 -122.338596
Neighborhoods: Lake Union, Wallingford
Not quite as good as billed – Essential is an institution in Wallingford, and deservedly so. The breads are fresh, if not flavorful. The pastries are sweet, if not sublime. However, there is something I can't quite peg that isn't great about this place. It's not the workers, who are friendly and patient, but the lines are tiresome, and the quality of the breads are not worth the wait. The location is drop dead gorgeous, 1 block from Gasworks park - but they seem to have run in to some of the problems any successful and beloved brand does, complacency.
Don't Understand the Hype – The bread is good. I love the pizza bianca and the (expensive) little pastries. The lunch items are pricey given the portions, and sometimes the soups can be a bit iffy/too-experimental. I'm not a regular, but already a couple times the morning baristas have acted put-upon when I "interrupted" their conversations to order coffee... never had that problem with staff later in the day though.
favorite spot in seattle – Not meant for tourists and you need to know how to order. Stand in the first line, place your order, walk to the register and then pay. Sometimes the staff will bring you your food but more often they yell your name out. When it's really busy, it's hard to hear. It is entirely worth the effort though. So far, it has been the best coffee I've had in Seattle and it has turned me into a pastry lover. I take everybody to Essentials. Very fresh, all organic ingredients, and an eclectic mix of workers.
Stick to traditional sandwiches and soups for better flavors – My wife and I recently visited Essential for lunch and being inquistive decided to order the yam sandwich and the mole veggie soup. Both sounded interesting and were definitely new. Both unfortunately tasted...well..awful. The yams in the sandwich were semicooked and sorta crunchy but not in a good way. The mole soup tasted like some sort of food experiment gone awry. My recommendation for anyone going to Essential is to stick with the classic sandwiches and soups they make. Being culinary diverse is good, and choosing exotic ingredients is nice to see, but if you can't pull it off, the result is unhappy customers and really bad tasting food (like the yam sandwich and mole soup). For me, after tasting the soup I would have been embarassed to even serve it - my wife and I kept saying, "what were they thinking?" Unfortunately we took both the sandwich and soup to go, if we hadn't I would have gone back and said, "Um... I don't think so... give me money back.." I'm sure that the chefs at Essential taste everything that they make prior to putting it out for people to buy, but they also need to think about whether what they put out is both delicious and helps carry Essential's image as providing top quality gourmet foods. My recommendation, I'd think twice before keeping either of these items on your menu.
Forgot our order, bad customer service – We went to the Essential Bakery on N. 34th St. around 1:00pm on Sunday. We waited for about 40 minutes with our hungry kids and our lunch order never arrived. Apparently they forgot our order. The staff didn't care and we were not impressed with their customer service. We will not give them our business in the future.
Disappointing selection lately – Used to love this place. Brought everyone I knew here. Now the shelves are always empty. I am VERY UPSET that they no longer carry petit fours. I realize that we are in a supersize age, but petit fours are worth every overpriced cent as they satisfy the cravings without adding to the waistline. Also, why is the Fremont location the only one with a significant selection of chocolates? I NEED the PB &J chocolate almost as badly as petit fours in my favorite flavors. Please tell William Leaman to return the petit fours!!
Neighborhood favorite – I've been going regularly -- that is, several times a week at least for just a latte -- to the Wallingford location of the Essential Baking Company. Always tasty, no matter what I get. Excellent ingredients, though you do pay more. If you want a cheap sandwich, go down the street to Subway. If paying $9 for a sandwich and a bottle of iced tea doesn't bother you, go to Essential. Creative combinations, friendly and casual staff (who know my name and my everyday latte order!) ... I don't even want to think about how much money I've given this place over the years!
Creative sandwiches, savory soups and handcrafted desserts help this neighborhood favorite achieve the promise of its name. – The Scene
Its aromatic artisanal breads have lined the shelves of high-end local grocers for years, and now Essential has expanded its primary bakery to include a warmly charming cafe and lunch counter. Exposed-brick walls, high beamed ceilings and broad, sunny windows contribute to the casual, airy atmosphere. Sit at the knotty-pine lunch counters or soak up the sun on the front patio.
The Food
The seasonally driven menu focuses on European sandwiches with ingenious twists: Kalamata olive bread is slathered with cool feta-cucumber spread and freshly snipped oregano leaves, while a sophisticated white cheddar and Camembert grilled cheese is dressed up with pan-roasted Granny Smith apples, caramelized onions and crisp watercress. The Spanish-style hearth oven turns out robust slices of pizza bianca, a house specialty occasionally augmented with shards of prosciutto. Pastries and desserts are beautifully executed: Croissants burst with fresh raspberries, pears and apricots; decadent chocolate mousse is sweetly amplified with a buttery layer of creme brulee.
To Die For! – The Essential Baking Company simply never disappoints. I can go there for nothing more than an order of toast (which comes with a yummy blueberry spread) and walk away satisfied. Everything else that I have tried there--poppy seed bread, orange-chocolate marble bread, italian slippers, parisian macaroons, the winter vegetable sandwich, hot chocolate--has been absolutely stunning as well. Go!
Seattle's Best Bakery (all organic too) – Essential Baking Company is, hands down, my favorite bakery in Seattle. On top of making fabulous breads, pastries, muffins, cookies, pies and cakes they also cook up some mouth-watering soups and sandwiches at their Wallingford bakery. The sandwiches change according to the season to make use of seasonal ingredients and feature creative combinations such as a grilled cheese sandwich with white cheddar and camambert cheese with caramelized onions, watercress and apple slices on walnut bread. They make a phenomenal squash mole soup that's not to be missed. They also serve up a delicious coffee brew and tasty espresso beverages. If I lived closer I'd stop by several times a week to get my baked goods fix from the best bakery around.

Associate Professor of English, African American, and American Studies
Coordinator, Program in African, African American, and Diaspora Studies
Primarily a scholar of African American literature and culture, I examine how a range of writers employ literature to represent meaning-making in African American experience and how the making and operation of literary traditions constitute key sites of African American cultural production. As a result, I teach a range of courses from first-year seminars on "sibling rivalry," to senior seminars on the Harlem Renaissance. In addition to teaching and research, I continue a long-held investment in increasing access to higher education through my work as director of the Summer Institute for Literary and Cultural Study and as an advisory board member for the Institute for the Recruitment of Teachers at Phillips Academy Andover. Complementing my work as a former actor and occasional director, I have participated in "post-play" discussions at Trinity Repertory Company and currently serve on the board of directors for the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities.

Main Interests
Throughout academic year 2012-2013 and this past summer, I enjoyed a productive and transformative set of professional and personal experiences. In addition to supporting the sixth cohort of the Summer Institute for Literary and Cultural Study, I completed an article on Daniel Black's novel Perfect Peace, presented, with Courtney LaBrie ('13) and my colleague Mike Drout, preliminary results of a lexomic analysis of Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes' 1931 play Mule Bone at the 2013 NeMLA conference in Boston, and offered the keynote address at the 18th Annual Langston Hughes Community Reading in Providence, RI. The most inspiring experience was participating in the National Endowment for the Humanities/Harvard University's W. E. B. Du Bois Institute's seminar on "African American Struggles for Freedom and Civil Rights," where I studied with a wonderful and incredibly impressive group of historian-educators and met civil rights pioneers Esther Cooper Jackson and Dorothy Burnham. In the coming year, I plan to continue collaborative work on the Harlem Renaissance and begin sustained reading of literature produced throughout the long civil rights movement.

Welcome to the very first edition of Holding Court, a column where both sides of a fantasy hockey debate are argued just like in courtroom, complete with a final verdict. Then you, the DobberHockey readers, can comment on whether justice was properly served! You can also leave ideas in the comments section for other debates to be settled right here in future editions of the column.
Today we'll focus on Martin Brodeur. He stands accused of no longer being a valuable fantasy asset, but of still having a reputation that will lead many fantasy GMs to pick him too early in their drafts. So it's time to settle a difficult yet important fantasy debate – is Martin Brodeur still a better than average fantasy hockey goalie at this point in his career? Here are arguments for both sides.
No - Brodeur is at best a middle of the road goalie at this point
Clearly Martin Brodeur is among the greatest goalies in NHL history, holding numerous records that will likely never be broken. Beyond that, he's won countless fantasy leagues for his proud owners over the years. But sadly, what we're seeing now is a painful fall from greatness, as it can no longer be denied that he's become a shell of his former self. Simply put, at age 40 Martin Brodeur is at best an average netminder with a legendary reputation that far exceeds what he can offer to a fantasy hockey team.
If you look at goalies who started 50 or more games last season, among the major fantasy hockey goalie categories Brodeur was no better than 10th in any single category (GAA), and he fared below average (which would be 15th, given the 30 NHL teams) in nearly all of the other categories - 13th in wins, 20th in save %, 20th in shutouts, and 22nd in saves. The truth is Brodeur hasn't been the same since his injury shortened 2008-09 campaign; but his performance has fallen off most dramatically in the past two campaigns. For example, in each of the past two seasons he had a GAA above 2.40, which had previously happened only once in a 50+ game season during his long and illustrious career! And his nine total shutouts in the past two seasons is the lowest in his career for any two consecutive seasons where he played 50+ games each season. He also gave up four or more goals 13 times last season, which was brutal for all those who owned him in fantasy leagues, but particularly for GMs with weekly roster settings. These poor recent numbers cannot be denied, or ignored.
Another factor that doesn't bode well for Brodeur is the defense that the Devils will put in front of him. Quick - name three current Devils defensemen. It's not so easy, and it shows why Brodeur's stats don't stand to be helped by his defense of today like they were back in the Scott Stevens and Scott Niedermayer neutral zone trap glory days. And for those who still think there's a chance Brodeur might somehow reverse this negative course, if you look at comparable goalies who tried to extend their careers past the age of 40, you don't find any reason for hope. Instead, there are the cautionary tales of once elite netminders like Curtis Joseph and Ed Belfour, who limped into the sunset with stats at or past age 40 that they must now look back upon with deep regret and embarrassment. Sure, Brodeur is in a class somewhat above either of them, but they showed that age and games played catch up to the best of everyone, as it clearly has with Brodeur. If anything, his numbers of the past two seasons represented only the start of what will next be a fall below mediocrity for the once mighty Brodeur.
Yes - Brodeur still a top 10 or better fantasy hockey netminder
Wow – reading all that you'd think this was about Dwayne Roloson, not the all-time great, still elite Martin Brodeur. In truth, everything mentioned above can be more than adequately countered. First, we need to instead focus on another superstar goalie who played into his 40s – some guy named Dominik Hasek! Hasek's remarkable career and accomplishments surely make him a far better basis for comparison to Brodeur than Belfour or Joseph, who were great, but not in the conversation as one of the best of all time like Brodeur and Hasek. Let's take a gander at where Hasek finished among NHL netminders who played 50 or more games in the 2006-07 season, one in which Hasek suited up for 56 games (right around where Brodeur figures to be) and was actually 41 years old (one year older than Brodeur is now) when the first puck dropped. Aside from saves (23nd), Hasek was in the top 10 in every category, including FIRST in one and SECOND in another (wins - 6th, GAA - 1st, save % - 9th, shutouts – 2nd) among goalies who played 50+ games that year. This bodes quite well for Brodeur, as does the fact that if you look at the last third of the 2011-12 season, Brodeur had a stellar stretch of hockey, giving up two or fewer goals in 20 of his final 27 games.
And let's also not forget reality beyond the numbers. New Jersey was playing a different brand of hockey last season, what with the firepower of Kovalchuk and Parise in the line-up. The fact that Brodeur's numbers were as good as they were in 2011-12 amid the more run and gun game being played around him is a testament to his continued greatness. And now that Parise is gone, signs point to the team placing a renewed focus on defense like they did during Brodeur's glory years. Given that, Brodeur might actually be UNDERvalued going into this season. Plus, with Brodeur, you're getting a guaranteed starter, unlike so many teams (St. Louis, Tampa, Chicago, Washington) where it's unclear at best who the #1 guy really will be.
It can probably be conceded that Brodeur is no longer one or the very best of the best NHL goalies, with the likes of Lundqvist, Quick or Rinne. But to say he's merely average is pure crazy talk - he's a solid top 10, with an outside shot at top five. Lastly, remember that as a three-time Stanley Cup winner, Brodeur is a lock under pressure, and think of all the pressure he'll be facing in proving that he was worth the two year contract he signed this offseason, which had more than a few pundits raising eyebrows at him and the Devils. Don't bet against Martin Brodeur, or you and your fantasy team will regret it.
The Final Verdict
As much as the "yes" side of the debate can point to past success and Dominik Hasek for comparison, its case simply has too many holes. Hasek didn't have nearly the same mileage as Brodeur at age 40, what with Hasek only having played 70+ regular season games once in his long international and NHL career compared to 12 seasons of 70 or more regular season starts for Brodeur, not to mention Brodeur's over 200 playoff games. And it's not like Brodeur is coming off only one subpar season, which could be written off as a fluke. The numbers don't lie - both of his last two years were barely average for a 50+ game netminder. Also, the argument about the Devlis being more offensively focused last season falls somewhat flat, as Brodeur put up considerably better stats in 2009-10, when both Parise and Kovalchuk (with the Devils for a third of the season) topped 80 points and were firing on all cylinders. And the point about the defense in front of Brodeur not helping him as it did in the past is pretty persuasive.
The reality is that it is a buyer beware market for Brodeur at this point, and with that Martin Brodeur is hereby sentenced to being a merely average (at best) fantasy goalie in 2012.
Holding Court is now out of session until next week.

"I love the textured paper it makes it truly interesting. My party theme was not pink and black and because of that I believe there should be more color options. The ecru background and envelopes truly give it a royal feeling. Arrived on time. Envelopes were not the right ones (probably my mistake) and they sent the correct ones for free."
"This card is lovely, sweet with a nice retro feel in the font, background and overall design. With so many tacky, loud party invitations being sold for Sweet 16s, it was great to find something this charming. My daughter picked it out and couldn't be happier. The quality is fantastic."
"My daughter loved this invitation for her party. At 14 she wanted something that was sophisticated but not stuffy. IT was perfect and set the tone for the decorations. The quality of tiny prints products is very good. We use them for almost all our stationery needs. Highly recommend this particular product for a teen party."
"Paper quality was great..Perfect. Not too thin nor too thick. They are very professional, and communicate each step of the process with you. Loved it! Thanks so much. I'll be ordering all my invites, etc. from you."
"Loved this invitation! Used this for our daughter's surprise 13th birthday party. The design was perfect, easy to customize for the SURPIRSE event. We used Tiny prints website for RSVP's and ordered the matching return address labels and thank you notes! Perfect!"

Comments On Nov 26, 2012:I came across this oil when looking for the correct oil for my BMW motorcycle and found that it was the OEM oil recommended in the UK for my BMW motorcycle. I have used it in both my BMW and several other motorcycles including off road machines. I find my bikes run smoother with this than the full synthetics. For air cooled bikes needing a 20/50 this oil seems just a little thicker than the full synthetic 20/50's and I believe this cushions the bigger clearances in aircooled motors better. I noticed a definite difference in my XR650l when one time I used Valvoline 20/50 full synthetic because I didn't have any of the Castrol available. Next I'm going to try it in my 73 Triumph 750 I've been holding off because synthetics have a way of finding places to leak on older machines. My only complaint is it's not available in gallon jugs.

Comments On Sep 17, 2012:I don't like spending a lot of money on oil's "made" by the manufacturer when most of them have a bigger company like Shell, Exxon/Mobil, BP, etc. supplying it for them. You're really paying for the name. As long as you're running the proper weights and compliant oils as recommended by the manufacturer, you should be fine. Castrol makes a great product. I've run it for years. They have good detergent and additive packages in their synthetics and blends and most of their protection standards exceed the manufacturer's standards. For the price, its not a bad option.

Comments On Jun 27, 2012:I change my oil often and by doing so must find a high quality product at a low price. Castrol oil does both, their long technical history and proven management have earned my trust.

BiographyMogwai's fleshed-out spacey guitar arrangements are a blissful drone that always stops short of meandering. Their creative, multilayered guitar noodling often takes precedence over Stuart Braithwaite's sparse vocals. Formed in 1996, the band proceeded to release a number of largely ignored independent singles, until the release of "Angels vs. Aliens," which became a U.K. Indie Top-10 single. The band began to amass critical acclaim with the release of Mogwai Young Team in 1997 and solidified their place in the alt rock world with the hugely successful Kicking A Dead Pig in 1998.

I am 53 years old and sweat like crazy almost in any type of weather. I love, love, love My Prime! Really helps absorb some of my sweat on my forehead and makes my skin feel great!
The best moisturizer I've tried so far! Having combination skin, it's difficult to find a moisturizer that balances my skin this beautifully. It's moisturizing without feeling heavy. Plus, it keeps my make-up in place. Love how, when worn alone, it makes my skin glow without being shiny.
I have very oily skin and have decided it is the best I've ever tried. Unfortunately it's too expensive to buy. :(
It works great!! I love this product! It's my first time trying this product and it works great! I have oily skin and it helps with moisture. It helps my makeup stay on all day! A little bit goes a long way so you don't have to put too much on. Light weight too! love it!
I've tried a lot of primers. Some are too shiny, some are too hard to apply, This one goes on perfectly and make my skin look incredible.
I've been using this as my primer since I received it in my Birchbox. It is not too heavy and works well with my oily skin. I will be purchasing it when my sample runs out!
absolutely love this moisturizer! It didn't leave my face oily like most moisturizers do! I love the constancy and thickness. The smell is very light so its easy to wear under make up!

The regional side beat both Kenya and New Zealand convincingly at the weekend, and will be hoping to continue this trend against the Proteas when they meet at the New Wanderers Stadium at 12:00 pm (Eastern Caribbean time).
"I think we have a very good chance. We haven't only played well in the warm-up games, but we played well in England and it will give us a lot of confidence if we continue to play the way we have been playing," captain Ramnaresh Sarwan told a media conference after the team's practice session yesterday.
"We have a very rounded team with a lot of all-rounders mixed with batters and in this form of the game you need those players who are all-rounders.
"It is a very big game. Both teams will be gunning for the win. It will be a very good game, an interesting one and we'll be hoping to pull off a win like we did in the opening game in the World Cup a few years ago.
"It is very important for us as a young team to give a good account of ourselves in this tournament."
West Indies will take positives from their two warm-up matches to date. Against Kenya on Saturday, Marlon Samuels shone with a whirlwind 63 from 30 balls, while Shivnarine Chanderpaul sustained his prolific form with an unbeaten 46.
Against the Black Caps on Sunday, Dwayne Smith hinted at form with 47, while Narsingh Deonarine gathered 34. Sarwan, along with opener Devon Smith and vice-captain Chris Gayle will be depended upon for crucial runs.
Sarwan said, however, that team management were prepared to be flexible with the batting order.
"You have to be flexible and leave options open. I'm sure there are times when you will have to promote batters who are more suitable to the situation," Sarwan noted.
"There are likely to be changes in terms of the batting order."
In both matches, the Windies bowling has looked impressive. While Smith picked up two wickets against Kenya, fast bowler Daren Powell and medium pacer Darren Sammy claimed three-wicket hauls.
Sarwan said the faster bowlers were expected to play a key role in building the foundation for a West Indies triumph.
"The fast bowlers up in front have a huge part to play in terms of restricting the opposition," Sarwan explained.
"There are six overs of fielding restrictions and the batsmen always try to make the best use of those six overs so the fast bowlers have their task cut out for them at the start of the innings.
"Fortunately for us Daren has been bowling pretty well along with Ravi (Rampaul) and Fidel (Edwards). It is a matter of us continuing and encouraging them to do the right things, the things which they have been doing so far which is being patient while getting the ball in the right areas.
"For us it is a matter of us sticking to our plans like in any other game where we set ourselves plans and we want to achieve them.
"At the end of the day nothing has really changed much. The games goes at a very fast pace, but it is very important for us to stay focussed and concentrate on what we have to do."
South Africa, tipped as one of the favourites in the near two-week tournament, will not be easy opponents as shown in their eight-wicket demolition of Australia in a warm-up match Sunday.

I worked at Netflix full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – The pay rate is excellent.
Cons – the time constraints are tight, the margin of error was not there and the ramifications of failure, be it machine issues, management issues, transportation issues were very harsh. Errors should be minimized, but most problems are out of the control of the management team such as a truck breaking down or a computer crashing.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese Year of the Horse begins Friday and Las Vegas mobile apps maker Zuan Xin Lucky Dragon is bringing luck to millions of Chinese Baccarat players. During first month of Chinese New Year the company is making free the paid iPhone version of its honored Baccarat Solved app.

"This our Red Envelope for tens and tens of millions of Chinese iPhone users around the world," says David Sofer, company chief game designer and one of the Harvard graduates group that solved the $3 trillion game. "Baccarat secrets declassified, but more than that our app entertains! Free component of Baccarat Solved contains two amazing training tools, really cool simulator, and double fun Baccarat game."
Special in-app apps for Beijing Guangzhou Zhuhai bullet riders
"By the time that great Chinese bullet train speeds from Beijing to Guangzhou to Zhuhai at the Macau gate, any interested user will understand how to play like a Baccarat master," asserts the Harvard polymath.
David adds, "Inside are three special apps that can be purchased for next to nothing. Special Lucky Eights Game is a never ending Baccarat game based on lucky number 8 that friends will enjoy together. Lucky Dragon Junket Game transforms players into Baccarat whales those high rollers risking millions a hand in mysterious VIP rooms of Macau. Zuan Xin's Ultra High Speed Simulator is glowing red lantern."
Harvard geniuses solved what eluded MIT
No one imagined Baccarat could be solved. MIT professor Ed Thorp who solved Blackjack could not solve Baccarat. But the Zuan Xin group of Harvard graduates did and last May they successfully presented for validation their Baccarat solution to experts at the illustrious triennial International Conference on Gambling and Risk Taking. Baccarat Solved recently received honorable mention for most significant mobile game app of 2013 from the prominent game industry community Gamasutra and Zuan Xin Lucky Dragon established its bona fides as world leader in mobile Chinese gambling expert apps when it joined brand name gambling industry giants as a Platinum Sponsor of the 2013 Gaming Hall of Fame Gala starring Celine Dion.
David adds, "This is the message from Master Zuan Xin. May the Year of the Horse be one of strength and overflowing positive energy for Chinese people everywhere, for all people everywhere! Baccarat is a game of skill so Baccarat players everywhere should please install Zuan Xin on their smartphones and learn how to play!"
Zuan Xin Lucky Dragon Baccarat Solved is available free at the iTunes App Store and at Google Play.

Each year (up until this, ironically) the Spanish football publication Don Balon fastidiously collated their own record of the 100 best young (aged 23 and under) players on the planet.
Football heavyweights IBWM have taken the final Don Balon list, which was published in November 2010, and spent the last few months reviewing how the last year has panned out for each of the players included on it. "The 100" is the outcome of that review.
With the projects launch date fast approaching I was commissioned by IBWM to create a series of cover pages to compliment the names that had made the list. There would be 20 names per week, over a 5 week period, eventually making up the final 100. There were no restrictions to the brief, so what you see here is simply what i came up with based on the list of names i was given, hope you like them.

I'll take the better team on the road in this one. Special teams and winning the turnover battle should be enough to get this one home. I really like this play. My power numbers show WM winning by 4 so I'm on it.
200 Florida Atlantic -2.5
I'm on a winless team giving points...
But, this is their first game at home after 5 straight on the road..
And, they are in a brand new stadium.
F.A. has played one of the most difficult schedules in the country.
My power numbers show them winning by 6. I trust those numbers and this game.
F.A. gets its first win against Western Kentucky.
I'll lay the small chalk in both games.

Kaka ready to shine against Zico's Iraq
Real Madrid midfielder Kaka hopes Thursday night's friendly against Iraq in Sweden will kickstart his international career after a two-year absence.
The 30-year-old has not played for the Selecao since the 2010 World Cup and is eagerly anticipating his first return to the side since injury cost him his place in Mano Menezes' squad to face Gabon and Egypt last November.
He is expected to be named in the starting 11 in Malmo, but is keen to ensure this will be the first of many matches he will appear in for his national side.
"I'm very happy for being back. I want to settle down in the national team and win my place. I still have a number to things to achieve," Kaka told reporters.
"I was far away from the national team, but my injury problems have disappeared and my physical form has also improved."
Kaka had been anticipating a recall to the national side for some time and was delighted to finally be welcomed back.
"This is like the first time I was called up to the squad," he said.
"I've followed all the nominations expecting to be included, even when I knew it was quite difficult to be."
Paris St Germain defender Thiago Silva has backed Kaka to make an instant impact on his return to the international fold.
"He's a player who can make a difference," the defender told Globo Esporte.
"He was not the best in the world for nothing, he already showed his quality on the pitch. It will be another player to share responsibility."
The friendly against Iraq is the first of a European-based double-header for the Brazilians, which concludes with a match against Japan in Poland on Tuesday.
Iraq coach Zico, meanwhile, is unhappy that his team are playing a friendly against the South Americans just days before a crucial World Cup qualifier against Australia.
The former Brazil international told Globo Esporte: "Next Tuesday we play a very important match against Australia in Qatar. We were training there so going to another country to play this match and then go back is not ideal.
"We are losing the advantage we had over the Australians, who are also doing a long trip to Doha.
"Also we are the only national team who cannot play World Cup qualifiers at home."
This will be the third time Zico has faced the Selecao as coach of a foreign country.
His previous two meetings - a 2-2 draw at the 2005 Confederations Cup and a 4-1 loss at the 2006 World Cup - came while he was coach of Japan.
But Zico, who won 72 caps for his country, admits it is the pre-match rituals that present him with the most trouble when lining up against his compatriots.
"The national anthem is the most difficult moment, very emotional. I've played for Brazil for a long time," he said.
"This is a friendly match, but the other two games, which were at official tournaments, were much more tough."
Zico says a heavy defeat could be damaging to the morale of his side and has called on his players to step up to the plate against their illustrious opponents.
"I'm always worried about a big defeat to unbalance our confidence, but when will these players have the opportunity to play Brazil again in the future?" he said.
"This is a unique chance and we must profit from it."

Domestic Violence is a Worldwide Problem
The Women's International Perspective | 3-13-2013
Domestic violence is part of the wider issue of gender violence, which the majority of the time is violence against women, a phenomenon that affects women of all races and all social conditions.
As an example, the statistics of the most serious consequences of gender violence in Mexico are staggering: Over 400 women and girls have been killed in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua in the last 14 years. According to the Mexican health ministry, about one in three Mexican women suffer from domestic violence.
In addition, thousands of women have become 'desaparecidas,' or missing. Most women who were missing were raped and beaten before they were killed.
The phenomenon affects not only individuals but has a wide-ranging impact on the family and society as a whole. According to Noeleen Heyzer, former executive director of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), "violence against women devastates people's lives, fragments communities, and prevents countries from developing."
UNICEF Mexico reports that in Mexico, four in 10 women report acts of spousal violence carried out against them, but only one in three commence legal proceedings. This violence against women is part of the culture and is one of the reasons female victims of domestic violence face serious obstacles when they try to denounce it.

Destination Guide: London
World-class museums, chic boutiques and Shakespeare
Stroll by the Thames for modern art, concerts and drama, or drink in the view from the London Eye. Search for quirky accessories in charming street markets.
Food and Drink
Savour the best of British or world cuisines. Taste fiery pho noodle soup and crunchy sweet-and-sour salads from Hoxton's informal Vietnamese restaurants. Or choose mouth-watering dim sum in Chinatown, where tiny cafés rub shoulders with the Michelin-starred Yauatcha. No trip is complete without fish 'n' chips from a traditional chippy, or modern British cuisine with a foaming pint from Clerkenwell's gastropubs.
Sightseeing and relaxation
Big wheels and skyscrapers. Take a lazy walk from the gothic Houses of Parliament, across the Thames to the cinemas, galleries and theatres of the Southbank Centre. The futuristic London Eye big wheel gives a bird's eye view of St Paul's Cathedral and The City's gleaming skyscrapers. Work your way through the vast British Museum's ancient Greek sculptures.
English delicacies and world-famous fashions. The aromas of pungent British cheese and sizzling organic burgers fill the air at foodie's paradise Borough Market. West End department stores like Selfridges are temples to big-name fashion designers but don't miss Topshop- where the likes of Kate Moss buy chic fashion at high-street prices. Locals snap up armfuls of flowers from Sunday's vibrant Columbia Road Market.
Nightlife and Entertainment
Live jazz and historic theatre. Trendy Shoreditch comes alive at night; dressed-up hipsters bar-hop from tiny back-street clubs to sleek cocktail bars. Enjoy the best of contemporary dance at Sadler's Wells or live jazz in the vaulted crypt of St Martin in the Fields. Spot the next big indie band starting out at Chalk Farm's laid-back bars or catch Shakespeare in all his original glory at the Globe Theatre.

Here we've picked our five favorites across every style and category, but if you already know which
The Dell XPS 15 takes on Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display in almost every category, even beating it in a few. But for such a hefty investment, a design overhaul is in order.
Sony's unique attempt at a big-screen hybrid looks great and is reasonably priced, but it works better as a laptop than a tablet.
Pricing not available
The slimmer body and higher-res screen of the original Retina MacBook Pro were a revolutionary leap. This revamp adds modest internal upgrades for modest improvements, but price cuts to both the 13-inch and 15-inch models sweeten the deal.
While they're no bargain, the Bose QuietComfort 15s currently offer the best sound and silencing capabilities in a pair of noise-canceling headphones.
Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up a few extra dollars for a thinner, lighter XPS.
Pricing not available
Toshiba hits full 4K in the Satellite P55T laptop.
Pricing not available
You can get similar components to our Core i7 Dell XPS 15 configuration for less, but the rock-solid design makes this feel like a premium machine.
AMD CPUs help these half-hybrids hit lower starting prices.
Another year of incremental improvements for the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro help it maintain its lead as a useful, powerful, attractive midsize laptop, but the competition is closer than ever to catching up.
The HP Spectre TouchSmart XT is a rare superslim 15-inch laptop with a touch screen, but for the premium price, it should include more high-end extras.

Which ladies outside the top 10 might give the big guns a run for their money?
Venus Williams: For the first time since 1997, which was the year she made her debut at the All England Club, the Californian finds herself unseeded. Venus has won five Wimbledon titles, and played in all-Williams finals with her younger sister Serena. But, if the tennis gods are in a mischievous mood, we could up up with an all-Williams first-round match, with Venus and Serena playing for the prize of a place in the last 64.
Sabine Lisicki: It took Maria Sharapova to stop her at last year's Championships. The German beat Li Na on the way to reachig the semi-finals. Lisicki used to hate grass. And she's still allergic to it (don't be alarmed if you see her sneezing between points). But now she loves it.
Kim Clijsters: So Venus Williams is not the only former world No 1 and grand slam champion who is unseeded at this tournament. Clijsters, who will be playing her last Wimbledon, will be attempting to become the first mother to win the title since Evonne Goolagong in 1980. "I've seen Evonne around and spoken to her," said Clijsters. "It's been nice to get to know her. I've spoken to her about what it was like winning Wimbledon as a mother. She said, 'yeah, you should do it – you go out and play and if you lose, you lose, and you're home taking care of the kid'. That's how I feel. Everyone asks me what my schedule is. Okay, there are days when it's hard but you just do it."
Tsvetana Pironkova: The grass of the All England Club has often brought out the best in the Bulgarian. She was a semi-finalist in 2010 (she lost to Russia's Vera Zvonareva) and last summer she was a quarter-finalist (she lost in three sets to the eventual champion, Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic).
Melanie Oudin: The American arrived at the All England Club with a wild card in her racket-bag and with a head full of happy thoughts after she won the AEGON Classic at the Edgbaston Priory Club.

I looked at every wallet on the site before picking the Milano Hipster. It had the card capacity I was looking for, the nice leather, and a surprisingly good price. I've had it for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it. It's much more comfortable to sit on than my old one, and meets my needs far better. Should'a done it sooner.
I ordered this wallet for my husband as a Christmas gift. He likes only black wallets and is picky about them being too bulky in his pocket (can't blame him for that). Tri-folds tend to be too bulky, so he usually opts for a bi-fold style. This one holds everything he needs and isn't bulky at all, nor too large in size to fit in his jean pockets. The quality of the leather has been impressive. He is rough on his wallets and this one has really held up nicely. Don't be afraid to order this one.
This wallet was able to spread out the bulk of business cards, credit cards etc. with ease. It is really comfortable compared to what I had before.
excellent wallet for price. I am buying another for backup
I bought this wallet as a gift and it is so nice, soft and buttery, I could keep it myself. Delivery was quick, too
Great product. Liked the wallet having additional compartments and was flat so was very comfortable. I am going to order an additional one. Since I am picky about the wallets I own.
The wallet I bought was just what my husband wanted and I couldn't find it anywhere local, the exact style. We are very happy with the price and quality of the product. thank you
Great price for very good quality. The only negative is I have to many credit cards ect. Holds one card per slot very nicely. If you try to squeeze two in there it is a little hard to get them out. All I need to do is consolidate and you barely even know it is in your back pocket.
I got this wallet as a present for my husband. it came on time and had a great appearance and looked like a quality product; all of his cards and bills fit in very well. the wallet looks like leather but does not really smell like it; it is leather! my husband tried to check for smell and there is nothing, which is fine in light of the quality we are not doubting. its fits in his back pocket well and he is happy with the present, its his favorite now. it looks like it will last a while. lots of pockets and room for id. the stitching matches the leather well.
Only improves with use. This is a great quality wallet at a very fair price. Plenty of room and sits flat within the pocket.
