Thanks for the info and the link for the petition, skfan!
I've relayed the info to our JAPAN FIGURE SKATE FORUM, Yahoo!Japan's FS bulletin board, Mao Asada Fan Forum, and in my personal blog. Already, many of my Japanese FS fans on the net have participated, especially since they are upset that JSF made some stupid moves, which might have given the wrong impression to the world, that an October Worlds in Japan is what we fans in Japan want. If you've been reading this topic from the start, I'm sure you'd understand that Japanese fans are totally against ISU and JSFs decisions, but I'll say it out loud once again:
Japanese FS Fans do not want Worlds to be postponed till October, we do not want Japan to be considered a candidate for holding 2011 Worlds in any way at all, but would like the competition held during at least during April or May in a city in a different country which has no volcanos or earthquake plates underground plus preferably a bit far from the ocean, so that the skaters entering can perform without any worries and focus only on the competition.
The JSF have never cared much for us fans, and also not much for their skaters either. After reading all the articles in Japanese on what would become of Worlds, there has never been a single comment from the JSF which mentioned how the Japanese skaters are feeling what should be the right thing to do under the circumstances. I bet they never even botherd to contact and ask them, but went on discussing money issues related to the sponsors and stuff like that only.
I've read Czisny's thoughts in her facebook:
I agree to her opinions, and at the same time, I envy that skaters in the US are able to make statements like this on the net. Takahashi, Mao and some others have sent messages of condolences to the damaged areas, and added that they will go on practicing whatever becomes of Worlds...but that was it. I mean, they are probabaly not allowed to express their opinions or requests concerning what should be done about Worlds. Not sure if they were ordered by JSF not to do so, but there's this old stupid traditional manner in Japan still, which doesn't allow younger people to criticize what those older them have already decided upon. I can't help thinking that our skaters surely would not like the idea of havng this season's Worlds in October, and at this point do not care at all where the competition will be held, as long it's held in a safe place during the season. So since we know it's like that between our skaters and JSF, fans in Japan get together whenever something needs to be said to JSF. More and more fans have reported that they've finished mailing JSF and Hashimoto, and participators will be increasing until we get a satisfatory answer from JSF.The World Championships...to have or not to have.
Given that so many have asked, I've decided to post my thoughts on the "3 options." I understand the magnitude of the decisions that JSF and ISU are faced with, and I can't fathom the difficulties they must be encountering as they are dealing with this situation. These are just my own humble opinions. I ask that you respect my opinions, as I respect yours.
1. Canceling the event. My sincere hope is that this is the last option. From a skater's perspective, skating is our career, our job, our livelihood, and canceling worlds would disrespect all the hard work we have put in. I do know that worlds has been cancelled before, but that was because an entire team, the US delegation, was tragically killed in a plane crash. This time, thankfully, the Japanese team is all safe (and I pray for their continued safety). You say, but look at the numbers of people who have been killed by this disaster. I know, and I can't even begin to express my sorrow towards the tragedy. But I ask, have you canceled your job, your work, due to the tragedy? Most likely, you have continued on with your work, while doing your best to help our friends in Japan. I only ask that we might be given the same opportunity to continue on with our work, while at the same time doing what we can to honor those in Japan and helping as much as we are able.
2. Moving the worlds to October. This decision seems strange at first, until you look at the reasons behind it. Postponing the event until October gives Japan another chance to hold the championship event that they deserve to have. I was, along with so many other skaters, looking forward to competing in Japan. It has proved itself to be one of the best countries to host an event, and we all know that this world championship would have been no exception: it would have been another wonderful event! Moving the event to October, however, would present some unique challenges: how do the skaters respond? Do we prepare for the new season while still training the past season's programs and using the past season's rules? And how do we prepare for the new season, while trying to peak for the worlds, which would be occurring at the very beginning of the new season? Two world championships in one season? This option is difficult to conceive, due to the many questions and difficulties it raises.
3. Moving the championships. I have the utmost respect for the Japanese and their capabilities of hosting this event. But due to the extreme circumstances they are under, I hope that the event can be moved elsewhere for now, with Japan given an opportunity to host the event again soon. Moving the event, I understand, can be extremely difficult, but I know that several countries have stepped in and offered. Again, this presents many challenges as well; but this option gives us skaters the opportunities that we have worked so hard for. Having said all of the above, I will respect any decision made by JSF and the ISU. And my prayers continue to be with the Japanese people as they face this terrible time.
skfan has advised me to post about these things in Golden Skate as well, and I've been trying to do that for the last couple of hours, but for some reason my posts are being mistaken by their system as spam mail, so I've contacted the staff and am waiting for them to reply on this matter. I feel that many people in other countries have misunderstood us fans in both damaged and undamaged areas in Japan, that we are for JSF's decision. But since that's totally not true, I feel I have an obligation to clear things out in Golden Skate too, being a Japanese born citizen who has the ability to write in English since I've lived some years in NY and London. Hope this spam misunderstanding would be solved soon in GS.
Last of all some news updates on the situations here...according to my friends living in Miyagi and Iwate prefectures, things are calming down. The number of after-shakes have reduced, and there certainly is no alerts for tsunami's anymore. Still, another large quake can happen in their areas, so it seems that people who were fortunate not to have their houses damaged have to stay inside for a while with not much to do but keep the tv or radios on in case of new alerts. Many of them are preparing themselves to volunteer to clean up the mess, but that hasn't started yet. Only professional guys from our 'army' and rescue teams from other countries are doing their jobs in finding missing people who may be still alive. They are doing a great job though, and it's been reported that quite a few people have already been rescued. Many people who have access to their PCs up north have found esp the US troops to be very reliable and cool, they'll soon end up with a bunch of fans in Japan!
There was a sad report about an aquariam in Miyagi prefecture yesterday. All the electricity has been stopped there, due to the lack of energy, so all the fish will die. One of the staff there said that he is heartbroken for the fish, but since many human lives are at stake, it couldn't be avoided. They have managed to send the sea mammals there to other similar facilities so they'll be okay. I hate it when animals have to die in our place, but at least this time the main cause of their deaths wasn't any stupid war humans have started so nobody can be blamed for this. They'll probably make a monument for the fish after things are back to normal. We usually do things like that to honor all animals who have died for our causes. Most people in Japan are buddhists so we believe that we have no right to choose whether an animal should die or not basically under any circumstance. I imagine the guilt which the staffs of the aquariam must be facing now must be beyond words.
While the northern areas hit by the strongest quake and tsunamis are coping with lack of energy for heating, food and water, little by little supplies are being sent there since they've managed to fix some roads already. It may be some of the people in the Fukushima area near the nuclear station who are having more of a hard time right now. Fortunately they examined over 10000 people yesterday who have evacuated from the areas within 20km range from the station, and have found out that no nuclear particles have been found on them except for only 2 people, and even they didn't have to have it washed off since it was an extremely small amount with no danger to their health. However, this does not mean they have not been exposed to radiation at all. I didn't know till today either, but nuclear particles and radiation are 2 different things. Many of us seem to have the 2 mixed up, and this is because the scientists and so called specialists who have been telling us alot about nuclear power stations and radiation dangers have not made this point clear as far as I know. Becasue of the media being this way, there are rumors that the government has orderd them to keep the real important information secret. I hope that's some crazy imaginary conspiracy theory, but I'm starting to have some doubts. For the past few days, scientists appearing on tv has been telling us on and on that only a very low amount of radiation has been observed in Tokyo, and explained that it's not enough to harm us in anyway. But it seems they are basing their analysis on data concerning how much radiation would not be harmful to humans 'per year'.
This would mean that if they've observed 1msv of radiation in Tokyo for 10 days, and if I go outside once everyday during that period, I'd be exposed to 10msv of radiation in the end. This is just an example so 10msv wouldn't harm me anyway plus they only observed much lower amounts of radiation in Tokyo so far, so I'm in no danger now. But should it go on like this for a long period of time, some areas might have people exposed to a higher amount than that which is supposed to be safe to be exposed to in 1 year, even though the msv numbers are observed to be lower around them. Considering this, I do think that maybe the folks on tv are trying not to make it perfectly clear to us. They're not lying basically, but they are leaving out some additional facts and are explaning things rather vaguely according to some people who seem to know alot about these things on the net.
I'll have to keep all the windows closed and try not to leave the house I suppose...but that's all the precaution possible for me. All the gas stations are out of gas already, so we won't be able to escape to the west. I aso have a mother who lives with my husband and me, but she harldly can walk even with our help due to old age so taking the train isn't much of an option for us. Plus we own some cats and a dog too big to be allowed on trains. I could never abandon them, so I'll be staying in Tokoyo whatever the consequences. But I haven't lost any hope yet and am trying to stay as optimistic as possible. It seems our 'army' boys and some policemen have finally succeeded in showering the 3rd reactor in the Fukushima station with water to lower the temperature to avoid a meltdown. Not sure yet if that's enough, but at first they couldn't get anywere near the station because the radiation was unbelievably high there. 2 days ago, there had been news that our government had asked the US army to have their boys fligh up to Fukushima and do the showering for us, but I guess that didn't happen. IMO that was asking for too much, and I wouldnt've wanted anyone from any other country than ours to go that far in risking their lives for us. If the US army had rejected our govenment's request, they did the right thing. If anyone should die trying to avoid further disasters from the nuclear station, it should be one of our people. Our electricity company created that station, we are the ones who have benefited from it for years, and lastly it was our stupid Prime Minister Kan who flew to the station on a helicopter to observe it, and that resulted in having the workers lose hours of fixing the first reactor which exploded some hours after Kan had left. Kan's little trip to the station was a performance to make people think how much he cares about the people residing in that area. I suppose he thought it was a good chance to achieve some support for his cabinet, which had been decreasing in almost full speed the past few months.
Although the people in the damaged areas are doing the best they can with hardly any robberies or riots, which certainly is admirable, the same can't be said for our politicians and executives in the electricity company which the Fukushima station belonged to. If anymore worse should happen, there's a high possibility for it to start from the Fukushima station.
Sorry I couldn't report much good news today. Finding out some of the stuff about raditation which hasn't been mentioned on tv did start worrying me a bit about my family and myself. Till today I felt more of an observer in these chains of disasters, but...well, maybe the info I've found on the net may be wrong. There seems to be alot of false info on the net concerning almost everything right now. In times like this, it's so easy to believe the bad infos rather than the good ones. I'll try not to worry that much, but just try to keep our windows closed and not go out much. If you have friends or relatives residing in Tokyo or the surrounding Kanto areas, it might be better to pass on what I've written here just in case, since most of the people in Tokyo don't seemed so worried at all about Fukushima station having the possibility to be more dangerous to us than reported in the media.

When the first BCS standings we were released a year ago, Clemson fans were on the edge of their seats.
The Tigers were in the mix, unbeaten, and riding a string of three consecutive victories over top-25 opponents.
This year's version finds Clemson, and the ACC, on the outside looking in - the Tigers done in by Florida State, and the Seminoles subsequently unable to survive their first ACC road test of the season.
The impact of N.C. State's upset victory over the previously third-ranked Seminoles was evident Sunday when FSU landed at No. 14 in the Official BCS Standings.
Clemson came in at No. 19.
Unbeatens Alabama, Florida, Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame make up the top five, and are followed by once-beaten LSU and South Carolina. Unbeaten Oregon State is eighth, with once-beaten Oklahoma and USC rounding out the top 10.
Clemson is ranked 10th among teams with one loss, behind LSU, South Carolina, Oklahoma, USC, Georgia, West Virginia, Texas Tech and Texas A&M.

The whole idea with future vehicle safety isn't to improve crash protection or enhance vehicle dynamics; it's to increase the ability of drivers and riders to avoid the situations that lead to those crashes in the first place. That means bikes, cars and other vehicles talking to each other and the road, thereby making actual collisions almost obsolete. These latest, fourth generation, Honda Advanced Safety Vehicles push the limits of current technology to explore what might be possible in a totally integrated future.
In the past, the vision of the future went like a car saying "Hey, here
I am, don't hit me" and a bike being like, "it's cool dude, I wasn't
gonna." Then a streetlamp would chime in, "hey, I'm right here, don't
hit me either." Basically, vehicles and obstacles would communicate
positions and trajectories to ensure the two didn't intersect. The
problem being both that a vehicle's direction is neither constant nor
guaranteed and the massive amount of data needed to determine and
forecast a vehicle's future location.
Now, Honda's system envisions using hyper-local traffic monitoring to
more precisely place vehicles on the road. So, if a bike is filtering
between two lanes of traffic, street-mounted sensors can see that and
warn cars not to turn into it. The solution is both lower tech and, as
a result, more realistic. It also relies on drivers, not vehicles to
heed the warnings.
In the scooter's case (this could just as effectively be a motorcycle)
a dash mounted display highlights the position of impending collisions.
We bet this is really annoying while splitting lanes of traffic at high
This Forza also represents the latest development in Honda's idea of
giving two-wheelers recognizable, animal-like faces that should be more
immediately recognizable for idiot car drivers. Note not only the
happy-go-lucky face described by the headlights and fairing, but also
the mirror and fairing-mounted LEDs.
We really like the idea of future cars communicating with each other
and the road to reduce the capacity of completely inept drivers to kill
each other. But we also look forward to the increased autonomy
non-integrated motorcycles will afford in such an overly-controlled

June 14th, 2012: Gaining confidence, another "Aha" moment
So I made good on my promise, whatever I was doing yesterday wasn't coming along for the ride today, that included recording the GPS tracking, not that I even was consciously aware of it once we were underway, but I wasn't taking any chances.
When I arrived at Skypark today there was a flurry of activity out back, so I rounded the corner to see what was going on. There on the bench was some healthy video equipment, my instructor and a few other folks from the airport all looking attentively at some video footage they had just captured of Travis, my instructor, doing intentional spins in the Citabria. It was cool and I wasn't the only one who thought so. The pilot and the videographer went up in their Cessna 172 and captured some amazing footage of Travis flipping the Citabria upside down and spinning out towards the ground not just once, but twice. The video, I'm sure, is going to be used to promote his new "Spin Class"...and we're not talking stationary bikes at the gym here, we're talking planes in the most perilous of all situations...spinning out of control, straight towards the ground. Wow...to have such confidence, that's amazing. I've told him before, that's what I'm looking for, to know that whatever happens up there I've been trained to deal with it and not fear it. Maybe next week though, today I'm going to try to get the wheels on the ground with the plane in the upright position.
After watching the video a few times over we all agreed it was impressive, but now it was time for the real work to begin, getting me closer to my solo. Here's the thing about that soloing part, no matter how much you want to do it, no matter how well you take off and fly, if you can't land the plane, it's an issue. After the usual preflight...actually, I took a little extra time today knowing my instructor had just been flying around upside down and out of control a few minutes earlier, we jumped in and headed off to Petaluma Municipal for some more landing practice. Heading west out through the Petaluma Gap I ascended and leveled off at 1700 feet. The air was a little choppy and there were some definite updrafts today, but it smoothed out nicely at 1700 feet. I took the usual route over to Petaluma, skirting the west side of the hills and coming in on the 45 to a right downwind for runway 29. Again today it was, off, up and over in Petaluma in a matter of minutes, in the pattern and on my way down for my first landing. Was I thinking about yesterday, you bet, I was thinking about not doing whatever it was I was doing yesterday and I left it at that.
Coming in on downwind I concentrated on my speed, the conditions of the air, the runway, my altitude and by the time I turned base, I wasn't thinking much about the day before, I was thinking about the next 90 seconds. I was going to listen to my head today, not all of the things I had been told a hundred times over about glide angle and descent and approach speed and all of the little antidotes to remember about how things should feel, I was just going to look at my mark, aim for it, keep my speed and glide in, essentially, I was going to fly like there was no one else in the plane. What I was thinking about on the final approach was where my attention was focused, you see, as I realized reflecting on my landings yesterday, more than anything what I think I was doing wrong was looking at the ground, waiting for it to arrive at my wheels instead of looking out ahead of the plane and putting my wheels on the ground. It was if it all suddenly made perfect sense, I wasn't landing on the ground yesterday, I was landing at the ground, not anticipating where it was and touching down, rather, waiting for it to hit the plane and then reacting.
Straight down the middle, white lines between my legs, looking not at the ground in front of me, but at the runway far ahead of me, not where I was landing, but where I was flying, after all, landing is flying on the ground, isn't it? Just as I had read, just as I had been told countless times, fixing my gaze down the runway the earth simply stopped rising in my peripheral vision, it came up to meet me in the most pleasant manner, not a harsh thud, or an unexpected thump, just a pleasant, almost non existent swoosh. I could scarcely convince myself the wheels were on the ground, surely I was still hovering just above the surface. I wasn't bouncing, I wasn't tossing the stick from side to side or stepping hard on the rudder pedals to try to regain control, I was simply rolling along right down the middle of the runway. As I pulled off to start my taxi back down for takeoff a comforting voice from the back of the cockpit said, "that was a nice landing". I wanted to say, "Hell Ya, don't you know it!" but all I could muster was "thanks". I was still having a hard time believing it was me that put the plane on the ground.
So now, I wondered, am I going to go all freaky here and start worrying about the next one or am I going to just go up and do it again? I chose the latter and off I went, round and round for a dozen more just like it. Something had definitely clicked, I had figured out my own rhythm and it was working. At one point perhaps after 6 or so landings, my instructor who had been unusually quiet said "you may not be doing what I would be doing, but whatever you're doing is working great". I think that means I'm finally landing the plane, not waiting for it to land, and that it and I have found some balance with each other, after all, isn't that what you're doing, finding some balance between your ability and senses and control and this machine? It was definitely an "Aha" moment, will I get another one tomorrow, I certainly hope so.
We went for one last touch and go and we were off back to Skypark. I headed north of town and came across the airstrip perpendicular to get a sense of the wind, circled around and headed into the downwind pattern for runway 8. Coming in just over the trees and slipping the Citabria down to burn off a little speed I put her down for one last landing of the day once again a little shocked that I didn't feel any assistance on the controls, just a quiet "good job" and "take it on in". Does this feel good? You can't even imagine until it happens, you bet it does!
(no GPS track today)

Desynchronosis, better known as jet lag, is pretty much guaranteed after crawling off the long flight to Asia. Although many breakthroughs have been made, no jet lag remedies on the market are a quick fix for the chronobiological ailment; what your body needs is time to readjust.
With bodies designed for walking, or perhaps riding a horse, humans were never meant to travel as quickly as modern flight allows. The chemical clock in our bodies that tells us when to eat and when to sleep can go haywire for the first week after a long flight. Unfortunately, jet lag can make getting adjusted to an unfamiliar place that much more difficult when you first get off the plane.
Read on to learn some natural jet lag remedies and how to lessen the impact so that you can enjoy your trip more quickly!
What Exactly is Jet Lag?
Crossing three or more time zones can wreck havoc on biological patterns and circadian rhythms. Melatonin, which is produced naturally in the body during darkness, causes us to feel drowsy when there is a lack of light. Until melatonin levels are regulated and become adjusted to your new time zone, your chemical clock that suggests when to sleep will not be in sync with your new location.
- Read about 5 common travel ailments that may affect you.
Symptoms of Jet Lag
Travelers experiencing severe jet lag may feel lethargic during the afternoon, wide awake at night, and hungry during odd times. Headaches, irritability, and a lack of daytime focus make the culture shock of a new place take that much more of a toll.
Jet lag doesn't only affect sleep; hunger strikes at odd times as your digestive system fires up based on your old time zone's schedule. Meals eaten at regular times are less enjoyable and can even be harder to digest.
As our bodies often perform internal maintenance while we sleep, jet lag can actually weaken immune systems, making those germs encountered on public transportation even more of a problem.
Some common indicators of jet lag are:
- Insomnia
- Daytime drowsiness
- Waking up too early
- Lack of appetite
- Lack of focus and mild depression
- Headaches and irritability
See a full list of jet lag symptoms.
Natural Jet Lag Remedies
While there are not any magic jet lag remedies, you can take some steps upon arrival and on the flight to lessen the recovery time required.
- Use Discipline: Time to throw out the old adage of "listen to your body." The most effective jet lag remedy is to force your body into its new routine. Avoid the temptation to lay down in the middle of the afternoon; instead, wait until proper time to sleep at night. Although easier said than done in Asia, don't snack at odd times even though you feel hungry. Eat meals at set times regardless of whether or not you are hungry.
- Get Lots of Sunlight: Your melatonin cycles -- and ultimately your internal clock -- are dictated by the amounts of sunlight coming into your eyes. Although you will certainly be tired after the long flight, your first day on the ground is not a good day to spend lounging around the hotel. Get outdoors, stay physically active during the day, and see some sites.
- Avoid Caffeine: With your body's clock already in turmoil, adding a stimulant is only going to confuse things that much more. Despite needing a boost to keep going the first afternoon in your destination, avoid drinking caffeine after midday until you get readjusted.
- Start on the Plane: You can begin your jet lag prevention before you even get off the plane. Set your watch to the time in your future destination, then do your best to sleep and eat based on the new timezone rather than the old. Get up, move around the plane to avoid lethargy, and avoid just snoozing through the entire flight.
Extreme Jet Lag Remedies
One study by the British Journal of Sports Medicine proved that a 0.5 mg dose of melatonin -- available for purchase as a nutritional supplement -- taken on the first day of your trip can help alleviate jet lag if proper amounts of sunlight are absorbed. The FDA does not recommend melatonin as a jet lag remedy.
A study conducted by Harvard Medical School showed that fasting for at least 16 hours before your arrival can help to override the body's natural clock. Fasting triggers an innate survival response that makes finding food more a priority than following circadian rhythms.
Read about how the prescription drug Viagra can relieve symptoms of jet lag.
How Long Does it Take to Get Over Jet Lag?
Depending on age, physical fitness, and genetics, jet lag affects people differently. Studies show that you should allow one full day to recover from jet lag for every time zone traveled either east or west.
The US Centers for Disease Prevention and Control states that the direction traveled makes a difference in how long that jet lag persists. If traveling west, divide the number of time zones crossed by two to determine how many days jet lag can be expected to last. When traveling east, expect a recovery time of roughly two-thirds the number of time zones crossed.

The Phoenix Coyotes were postseason regulars in the second half of the previous decade after moving from Winnipeg, but it has been five seasons and counting since they been to the dance. The next series victory will also be the first for the franchise since the move. They are close to being ready to start trying to win playoff series again, and maybe someday a deep playoff run will plant more sustainable hockey roots in the marketplace.
2007-08: 38-37-7, 83 points
WHAT WENT RIGHT: Grabbing Ilya Bryzgalov after Anaheim put the goalie on waivers might have been the best move made by any organization last season. It almost certainly had the most impact. The Coyotes were immediately better with Bryzgalov in net, and might have been a playoff team if they had picked him before the season started. Peter Mueller had a really nice rookie season, but was mostly lost in a deep rookie class. Radim Vrbata had a breakout campaign but is one of 47 forwards that have a new address in the Tampa/St. Pete area. Daniel Carcillo looks like he could be one of the most skilled (and by skilled, we're talking about scoring goals and not just throwing punches) pugilists in the league.
WHAT WENT WRONG: A terrible start put the Coyotes so high on the waiver priority list to claim Bryzgalov. The franchise clearly looks to be moving in the right direction, but the Phoenix area hasn't caught the hockey bug the way people in cities with exciting young cores like Chicago and Washington have. While the Coyotes have one of the finest stable's of prospects in the league, there group would be even better if Blake Wheeler hadn't skipped out on them and signed with Boston.
ARRIVALS:C Olli Jokinen, D Kurt Sauer, D David Hale, LW Todd Fedoruk, RW Brian McGrattan
DEPARTURES: RW Radim Vrbata, D Keith Ballard, D Nick Boynton, RW Craig Weller
IMPACT PROSPECTS:C Kyle Turris, LW Mikkel Boedker, RW Enver Lisin, C Kevin Porter, C Viktor Tikhonov
How many kids are ready?
Calder trophy candidate Kyle Turris is going to begin the season in Phoenix, but how many other rookies are going to join him? It would appear Boedker is going from the OHL to the NHL unless he has a bad camp, and Lisin acquitted himself pretty well in a 13-game trail run last season. Phoenix added a couple of veteran tough guys to fill out the roster, but a big camp from a guy like Porter, Tikhonov or even John Tavares' old sidekick in Oshawa, Brett MacLean, could put one more young, skilled forward on the roster, which is never a bad thing.
How will Jokinen fit in?
Olli Jokinen was the captain and "the man" in South Florida, a role that never really seemed to fit for him. With the Coyotes, Shane Doan is the captain and that Gretzky guy is "the man." Jokinen will be expected to skate on the top line and rack up big point totals, but he won't be burdened with nearly as much responsibility. It could make for a huge season for Jokinen.
PROGNOSIS: Adding Jokinen and Turris while subtracting Vrbata should equal a gain in skill up front. Subtracting Ballard and adding Sauer might not end up being as big of a loss as some might think (this is more about Sauer's savvy than anything against the talented Ballard). So that leaves Bryzgalov, who should be solid again in net but has never entered a season as the uncontested No. 1. Assuming he does the job and the other assertions above are true, then how much the Coyotes can improve probably rests in the hands of guys like Boedker and Martin Hanzal. If Jokinen can be a point-per-game guy (which could lead to 30 goals each from Doan and Mueller) and Turris is a legit ROY candidate, the Coyotes will be better than last season and a playoff contender. If Hanzal's production goes up and one or two of the other kids can play, this team could be a dangerous team to deal with in the first round.

(NECN: Jack Thurston, Winooski, Vt.) - Rob Henkel works hard making sails for boats at a Winooski, Vt. company. He also works hard at staying healthy. "I've never had health insurance," he told New England Cable News. "I exercise, I eat right, I take care of myself. I don't want to be paying for something I'm potentially not going to need."
The 46-year-old is required to have insurance starting next year, under the federal Affordable Care Act, or he'll have to pay penalties on his tax forms. "I'm not looking forward to the paperwork, the bureaucracy that's going to be there," Henkel said.
This week, the state of Vermont became the first in the nation to publish preliminary health insurance rates under the new federal law. You can study those proposed rates here.
After the premiums are finalized, an estimated 110,000 Vermonters who buy their own insurance or businesses with fewer than 50 employees can use an online marketplace called Vermont Health Connect to shop for plans. The full site opens in October, for coverage beginning in January.
Vermont's director of health care reform said the previewed rates from the two companies that filed them are comparable to what most of the Vermont customers are used to. In some cases, they may even be lower because of federal subsidies based on income and family size, Robin Lunge said. "We have, since the beginning, taken the Affordable Care Act seriously and we have moved forward with implementation because it was the right step for Vermonters," she added.
Critics of mandating insurance purchases through the exchange expect price increases and fewer options for high-deductible insurance plans. "If you just look at the rates, it's hard to tell," said Darcie Johnston of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom. "You really have to do the comparison of the plan you have today versus what is going to be offered next year and compare those. And it's hard to do."
Back at the sailmakers' workshop, Rob Henkel's boss is not required to fund insurance for his two employees. But Bill Fastiggi told NECN he is considering doing so, or at least helping, which could mean thousands of dollars a year. "That could be three to five percent of our gross," Fastiggi said. "When you think about it in that term, it could be lot."
Fastiggi and Henkel said they expect many Vermonters will have a lot to think about this summer and fall, as they crunch the numbers and chart the future of their health insurance. "I'll try to find the best option," Henkel said.
A series of public forums is scheduled to allow the public a chance to ask questions of state officials and weigh in on the health care exchange. The next forum is scheduled for Burlington on April 8. More events are listed here.

You don't pay for tutoringunless you find a good fit!
Students should have fun (enjoy what they are learning) while they are being tutored. Finding out why they need tutoring in the first place is always a goal of mine. A student will not learn if they do not enjoy how a subject is presented to them. I also like to enhance what I am teaching with visuals, but that does not mean we do not use the assigned text. Film is often a viable way to enhance the learning process. Histories and (English) literature go hand-in-hand, and there is also art that was being created while these were being written (or made).English grammar is extremely important for if you cannot communicate your ideas and thoughts to others, it does not matter who you are or what you know.I have a Master in Education and am certified to teach history and am working on my English certification. I taught ceramics for 11 summers at a private day camp as I also have a degree in art -- my first degree being a Bachelor in Fine Arts Interrelated Media.I have taught middle school and high school overseas twice (Egypt and Turkey) -- where I taught history and English (and also -- in Turkey -- drama) and also taught these in the United States.I am also interested in the arts, films, and theatre. I love to read. I have a dog. I had my own (swing and jazz) radio show for several years.

This video is to demonstrate how a hacker can hack a shared server using a Symlink Bypass.
The attacking can read configuration on other users who are hosting on the same server as the compromised website.
- First the attack needs to find a vulnerable website so he can get shell to the server to upload the symlinks bypass tool.
- From there the attack has to locate the other users on the same server and then try to figure out where or if there is a configuration ex: wp-config.php
- It will then open the config.php and save the inside of the config.php as a txt file.
- From there the attacker would be able to access the victims SQL data base and change the information.

Lifesaving efforts creatively put onto paper is how one area artist utilizes his passion to reach many.
Ray City resident Cliff Ulmer draws for his life ... literally. The artist received the devastating news eight years ago that his kidneys had failed, and he was going to need a transplant. Dealing with the ongoing dialysis and other hurdles have not halted his work. A drawing pad and pencil travel with him everywhere he goes, just in case something sparks his creative interests. Ulmer's eye-hand coordination has been in sync for more than 50 years, and the hopeful man is not willing to rest any time soon.
At the young age of 6, Ulmer was sketching a picture he saw in a Superman comic book when his aunt Ruth discovered his gift of drawing. He quickly found himself sketching various objects while sitting on his bed with paper and a checker board. The artist said one of the first things that children do, even before going to school, is use their natural instincts to draw (doodle).
"Everyone can draw. I'm just one of those kids who never grew out of it," Ulmer smiled.
Art has become the man's life. Even though his art has not always been favorable to some, the artist never stopped creating and now uses his work to raise money and draw awareness to kidney disease.
During the summer months, he can be seen at festivals and carnivals, doing quick caricature depictions of patrons attending the events. The money raised at these events goes toward the medication he will need after his transplant is complete. Ulmer has received the good news that he has been added to the Georgia Transplant registry. He is hopeful he will also receive the kidney soon and raise the $10,000 needed for the medication. The humorous man who appears to be quite healthy said he never looks for pity and is very appreciative of all the support he receives.
Ulmer, 58, was born and raised in Canton, Ohio. At the age of 8, he already knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. The artistic gift was something the artist said came from his mother's side of the family but, ironically, his mother tried to deter her son from drawing.
"I remember one day I got into trouble, and my mother made me take all my drawings outside and burn them," he said with sadness still very apparent in his voice and on his face.
"I never knew why she was so disappointed to know I was drawing and didn't want me doing it. I never stopped, though. I used to sneak and draw. All I ever wanted to do in this life is draw."
And drawing was just what he was doing even during this interview. Ulmer drew and colored a caricature of The Times reporter in only 20 minutes.
After graduating high school, Ulmer attended Jackson State University where he was a member of the band and produced his first comic strip called Comic Booms. During his second year of college, he created another comic strip called Simon and Clyde. Ulmer said before he knew it, this comic strip had circulated to other universities, and the fan mail came pouring in.
"I received letter after letter asking when the next one would be coming out," Ulmer said.
From there, the artist created editorial and sports cartoons and even tried his hand at writing sports-related stories for The Jackson Advocate in Mississippi and the Canton Free Press in Ohio. Also adding to his job experience, the artist worked as a courier for Pony Express and a projectionist/manager at a movie theater in Jackson.
After living in Mississippi for 14 years, Ulmer married his wife, Aleah, and followed her to Ray City three years ago like a "lovesick man."
Now sitting at four years of marriage, Aleah jokingly made the comment, "Never marry an artist." She said she never knows what she is going to wake up to or how the shift of the wind will affect her husband's creativity.
"You really don't know what will inspire him and what he will draw next," she said.
Inside the interior of their home, framed drawings throughout the living room and office confirm Ulmer's dedication to his art and to his wife. A number of pictures from different stages of Aleah's life stood out from the purchased art, lining the walls.
Although the couple have no children in the customary sense of the word, they do share their lives and humble home with their four-legged "children" Shing-Shang and Bojangles (both Pekinese), Muzett (poodle) and her babies Ebony, Ivory and Melody.
Currently, Ulmer is working on T-shirt designs, comic books and cartoons. Aleah assists her husband with editing his scripts, erasing any pencil markings seen after the color has been added to the pictures, etc. She retired from being a rodeo trick rider in 2002 after taking part in the profession since the age of 2. She also participates in festivals and carnivals by painting the faces of children.
Ulmer has made more than a dozen cartoon movies and a countless number of other drawings. When asked what he would do if drawing was no longer a possibility, he said there is only one way he can best describe his feelings pertaining to the question.
"When Charles Shultz, creator of 'Peanuts,' got sick in his older years and had to stop drawing because of the constant shaking of his hand, he secretively just gave up. During his last interview, he looked like he was on the brink of tears over the loss of his ability to draw. Shortly after the interview, he died ... that's the best way I can describe how I feel about art. I believe my love and passion for it would get me over my hurdle, though. If I lost my left hand, I believe everything would just transfer to my right hand. I would find a way to continue my art."
His passion has proven beneficial, but it is also something that has landed him in trouble a time or two. While attending McKinley High School, the young Ulmer who said he was never a trouble maker in or out of school, found himself in the principal's office for his art work.
"My shop teacher wore a toupee," he began his story. "I drew a picture of him getting his hand cut off by a table saw, it flew in one direction and his toupee flew in the other direction ..."
As the picture floated around the classroom, the laughter from the students caught the attention of the teacher. After Ulmer admitted the drawing was one of his very own, the teacher sent him to the principal's office. The principal found humor in the sketch but sent Ulmer back to class along with some advice: no more funny drawings of the shop teacher.
He is no longer drawing pictures of his shop teacher. Ulmer now draws cartoons that are both Rated PG and PG-13. One of his most recent comic books, Rocap, is based on the real life of a corrections officer. This script adds colorful humor and language with various characters both on the right side and left side of the fence. This comic book is published my Colemantoons out of Oregon and is currently available on Amazon.com. Ulmer will be at the South Georgia Regional Library on Woodrow Wilson Drive Feb. 18 at 2 p.m. for a book signing.
He is already planning for Rocap 2. Another prized piece of his collection is Leah and the Boys, a cartoon published by Continental and featuring Ulmer's wife and beloved dogs. This script is in circulation for newspapers to pick up in a magazine called News Time. Continental is based out of San Diego and distributes comic strips to be featured in small newspapers.
The artist credits many "greats" for their influence on his cartoons. Some of his favorite artists and creative works include: Dennis the Menace and Dick Tracy, Gene Colin and the late great Jack Kirby, Jerry Robinson (one of the creators of Robin from Batman and Robin) and Chester Commodore of the Chicago Defender.
Ulmer's mother passed away some years ago. His aunt Ruth resides in Huntsville, Ala., and is a painter. Ulmer's two brothers live in the Atlanta and Fayetteville areas and also profess the art gene passed down through their mother's bloodline. One family member was not quite so lucky, though. Ulmer laughed when saying his one and only sister "can't draw a straight line."

I took a few minutes this week to catch up on a couple of books on my reading list. One was an interesting and thought-provoking memoir of a father's teachings about life to his children and the other was a book about managing the process of divorce while still remaining a gentleman.
The Immortal Oak - The Conscious Universe by Joseph Marczely was the memoir. In this brief recollection about his father's life, values and teachings, Marczely offers interesting insights into his father's view of how we interact and build relationships and how such ideas can influence our own lives and world view. This was a book that makes you think, but also makes you appreciate the huge influence a good father can have on his children and others.
The other book, The Gentleman's Guide to the Nasty Divorce, was quite different to be sure. The Gentleman's Guide to the Nasty Divorce is written in a straightforward style and doesn't pull many punches in terms of warning a man what he is getting into when he decides to consider a divorce. Gunn takes the process carefully through all its stages, from the use of a private investigator to determine if a partner is unfaithful to understanding family law, finding the right attorney, living life discretely before and during the divorce and making the best of a bad situation when it is all over.
Each was excellent in its own right, but serves a different purpose. So, if either of these books might resonate with your dad's situation, you might consider it for a gift this holiday season.

State of Health Care Reform, Tax Subsidies
PSN on January 18, 2007 - 11:05am
A new "State of the States" report by State Coverage Initiatives, a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation surveys recent state efforts to expand health insurance coverage. Rising hopes bode well for additional reforms in other states, but the report cautions that because of variations in each state, particular reforms are not always easily replicable in other states.
Good Jobs First has released a report on how state tax subsidies in the Chicago region encourage sprawl and favor more affluent suburbs at the expense of poorer communities, a followup study to similar results found in reports on sprawl in the Twin Cities and in Michigan.

Video: Uncle Beats His Nephew's A** for Faking His 'Gangsta' on Facebook
How embarrassing!? I know I'll get stoned for saying this (and subsequently asked "What kinda household did YOU come from?") but I do not believe in spanking children. I'm not going to say that I necessarily think that "time out" is the way to go but I have some time to figure out how I'd punish my child. Yes, I did get whoopings as a child but I'm afraid that I would take that whoopin' too far. I don't even want to test it. Judge me…it's okay!
Anyway, apparently the nephew was on Facebook fakin' his gangster. His uncle found out about it, turned on the camera and told the world that NO ONE in his family gets down like that and proceeds to beat the boy's ass.
THEN he tells him, "Post THAT on Facebook!" Wow!
Props to @BigLilKim

Tim Gunn on fur and Project Runway
Check out Tim Gunn talking to Reuters about the fashion industry's use of animal products including fur, leather and wool. Gunn, creative director of Liz Claiborne and former chair of the Department of Fashion Design at Parsons, has partnered with the activist group PETA to raise awareness about ethical sourcing of fur to his peers in the fashion industry.
We know we gave you the highlights yesterday, but figured you might like to hear straight from the … err… horse's mouth about synthetic alternatives, attitudes of fashion insiders to the issue and Project Runway. Sorry if it is hard for you to hear our questions, but we think the answers are pretty self explanatory.
(Video: Reuters)
Tim Gunn hopes for fur-free future
Tim Gunn, famous for urging contestants on the reality show Project Runway to "make it work", has a new message for the fashion industry: Take Responsibility.
Gunn, also the creative director of Liz Claiborne Inc and a former chair of the Department of Fashion Design at Parsons, is working with PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, to spread the word that wearing clothing made from animal products is cruel.

With a broad range of activities appealing to all ages, the North Suburban YMCA welcomed almost 3000 guests to its Grand "Re-Opening" Celebration on Saturday, Oct. 13. The event highlighted the many improvements completed in the Y's recent renovation project, as well as the Y's diverse program offerings.
Virtually every room of the Northbrook facility was filled with activity for the four-hour open house. Dance performances, fitness classes, gymnastics demonstrations and art projects kept visitors busy, while staff members led tours of remodeled locker rooms and new fitness center additions. The pool was filled with swimmers who challenged themselves on the Y's inflatable obstacle course.
"We wanted to celebrate in a way that would bring the whole community together," said Barb Flanagin, YMCA Community Outreach Director. "We had a full afternoon of free programs, so there was really something for everyone."

The dramatic renovations, including new locker rooms, a new lobby, improved lighting, and enhanced accessibility features, received high praise from visitors. "I ran into a neighbor who said he hadn't been to the Y in three years," commented Bob Dahlke, NSYMCA past president. "He couldn't believe the transformation. This event was a great opportunity to re-introduce the Y to people who weren't aware of all the positive changes we've made."
A high point of the festivities took place in the Y's new lobby, with a recognition ceremony for the board members, committee chairs, and donors who made the Y's renovation possible. NSYMCA Executive Director/CEO Howard Schultz thanked the community for its unfailing support of the Y as an institution.
He also announced a new fundraising initiative, the "Race to the Finish" campaign, to fund a final round of improvements and renovations. The first priority of the campaign will be a Youth and Family Wellness Center, a fitness studio dedicated to battling the epidemic of childhood obesity and promoting family fitness programs. The Y hopes to raise the necessary funds for that project by the end of November.
Program registration is currently open for the Y's Fall II Session. For more information, visit www.nsymca.org or contact Y membership director Sari Glazebrook, email@example.com.

Dearborn police announced Friday that they will not file any charges in a traffic accident involving Detroit Lions star Ndamukong Suh and another man.
Sign up for the Trenton-Grosse Ile Patch newsletter.
