In this cautionary musical tale, Tremonti takes a song he wrote back in 7th grade and morphs it into a battle cry for all those who have been wronged. In this haunting video, the message comes to life like never before.
This short film builds upon the "watch your back" message of the song, visually identifying foes and using the power of music to bring people together in light of a very common struggle.
In live news, Tremonti will be heading out on the road again to bring All I Was to the fans live around the world. The tour kicks off February 2nd in Copenhagen, Denmark and runs through March 5th wrapping up at the famed Roxy Theater in West Hollywood, CA. The tour will make stops in Berlin, Milan and London to name a few before coming back to the US where it will stop in markets such as Pontiac, Minneapolis, Chicago and Seattle among others.

iPad: New must-have celeb accessory?
Hollywood and tech celebrities alike are making the iPad the latest "it" device.
Just like the Prius and the Kardashian sisters before it, the iPad looks like it might be the new must-have celebrity accessory.
Basketball superstar Lebron James was photographed checking out an iPad at a Boston Red Sox game Sunday evening. Actress Alyssa Milano picked up one this weekend and by Monday morning wrote on Twitter, "I love my iPad so much I kind of want to make out with it." British comedian Stephen Fry, his country's best-known technophile, got to geek out with the iPad ahead of almost everyone, and even did an interview with Steve Jobs for Time Magazine.
Hollywood, like the throngs of regular folks who stood in line for hours this weekend, appears fascinated by the device. The quest to buy an iPad was the subject of an episode of the ABC sitcom "Modern Family" last week, and comedian Stephen Colbert used his as a vegetable slicer on his Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report." David Letterman made it the subject of one of his Top 10 Lists, and also had actor Sam Worthington appear on "The Late Show" using the iPad as a coaster.
Up in the San Francisco Bay Area, the tech celebrities ventured out Saturday to retrieve their iPads. The man behind it all, Steve Jobs, made a brief appearance Saturday at the Palo Alto, Calif., Apple store, and reportedly talked with customers for about 30 minutes. Other Apple execs were also on hand: Scott Forstall, the guy who runs iPhone and iPad software development for Apple, was also spotted (with his own camera in hand) at the Palo Alto store. Cult design hero Jonny Ive, Apple's man in charge of industrial design, made a quieter appearance at the San Francisco Apple store.
Technology blogger Robert Scoble was first in line at the Palo Alto, Calif., Apple store and camped out overnight for the privilege of walking out first with an iPad in hand. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was at the Valley Fair Mall Apple store in San Jose, Calif., where he reportedly signed some fans' laptops and gave a demonstration of his Segway.
Digg founder--and recently named CEO--Kevin Rose was spotted in line at the Apple store in San Francisco to pick up his preordered iPad Saturday morning. Andrey Ternovskiy--though not a household name, his product has certainly become infamous--was also in line Saturday for a new iPad. Ternovsky is the inventor of sometimes-racy Chatroulette video Webcam site, and gave a sneak peek to fellow line waiters at the next version of the site, which appeared to be most G-rated. For now.
Update at 12:49 p.m. PDT: to indicate that Wozniak appeared at the San Jose, Calif., Apple store, not the Palo Alto store.

"Got peanuts?" Among the amazing historic ruins at Angkor Archaeology park, there was one unexpected creature that was waiting for me. Monkeys.

For better or worse, at the edge of tourism in Siem Reap
Siem Reap, Cambodia. Probably one of the most tourism oriented city in the world. People know what Angkor wat is, but many of them don't know it's in the city called Siem Reap. Therefore their destination is to 'Angkor wat' not to 'Siem Reap'. No doubt, Angkor wat is the most important spot in [...] Read more »
Faces of market in Siem Reap
Market is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm curiously wandering around. It is the most projective about wherever you are.

View the Video Interview with Cornelia Funke.
Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of Inkheart, the book whose characters became real. But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater brought into being from words, the need to return to the tale has become desperate. When he finds a crooked storyteller with the ability to read him back, Dustfinger leaves behind his young apprentice Farid and plunges into the medieval world of his past.
Distraught, Farid goes in search of Meggie, and before long, both are caught inside the book, too. But the story is threatening to evolve in ways neither of them could ever have imagined.

Heard on Campus: Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison4/8/10"I find intellectual excitement to be most profound in a life of letters. The most interesting, the most engaged and the edgiest ideas were found in humanities courses ... humanities functions best and most brilliantly from the edge ... the history of writers at the edge and at the border is the history of all literature." -- Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize-winning novelist, who received the Institute for the Arts and Humanities Medal for Distinguished Contributions to the Arts and Humanities from Penn State President Graham Spanier on Wednesday evening (April 7). IAH Director Marica Tacconi told nearly 2,000 students, faculty and community residents that the medal honors a person who is considered rare and uncommon, saying Morrison is "a master of the pen and a champion of the imagination. The force of her writing is powerful to humanity." More information is available at http://live.psu.edu/story/45218 online.
Humanities First Fridays continue with lecture by John Neely2/24/10Since the dawn of time, people have told each other stories. As researched by the comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell, stories often are in the form of the hero's journey -- a trial, descent into the wilderness, and triumphant return. Illness is often thought of as a journey and sometimes presented as a heroic venture. As healers it is helpful to understand these deep-seated stories and how they influence our patient's view of their journey. At noon on March 5, in lecture room A, John Neely, professor of pediatrics, humanities and family and community medicine at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, will deliver this month's First Friday lecture.
Use of storytelling and humor to promote healing focus of Jan. 15 talk1/13/10Storytelling has been used for generations to preserve cultural traditions and values. More recently, patient stories have been discovered to have therapeutic value for both the teller and his or her audience. With this in mind, the Department of Humanities at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center will present Nan Resnick, of social services, who will demonstrate the ways in which humor and storytelling can be used to promote healing. Resnick will speak at noon on Jan. 15 in the Junker Auditorium. The talk is part of the First Fridays series, which is sponsored by the Department of Humanities and The Doctors Kienle Center for Humanistic Medicine.

Local Atmosphere: Right off campus is sketchy but if you have a car and can drive downtown it is a lot of fun
Greek Life: We don't have greek life
Majors: They care more about extra curricular activities
Majors: Marine Science is very hard if you want to do it you need to work very very hard
Off-Campus Dining: Typical college kid places. Taco bell, mcdonalds, burrito boarder which is great, cvs, 7-eleven etc...
Campus Housing: There are options to where you want to leave. You can live in Simga/west lodge which are the nicer dorms with bathroom. Its a hotel-like buildings.
Nightlife: Nightlife in campus is VERY repetitive. Parties at NU or Kappa are usually the same even if there is a theme to them. The upperclassmen tend to party at local clubs which can be nice.
Transportation: You need a car to comfortably get out of campus. There are some shuttles that take you to malls which are very convenient. Taking the public bus is convenient to those daring students who don't mind riding with interesting people, aka scary and creepy.
Greek Life: We have no greek life.
Diversity: There is a lot of homosexuals and lesbians. Mostly everyone is american with exception of a few good looking international kids.
Computers: Internet is not the best but computer labs are neat.
Weather: Its usually hot and beach friends weather. Its usually humid which some people complain about (hair). It can get surprisingly cold during winter.
Campus Strictness: The campus is not strict at all. There is weed smoking and alcohol consumption in dorms almost every single day of the week. Unless you are throwing up in the middle of the street, the campus police will not interfere with you. However, many people end up calling ambulances for their friends who have had too much to drink.
Health & Safety: Not many problems in campus other than occasional fights between students or students who are too drunk/drugged.
Campus Housing: We have some new dorms and dorms that overlook the water. Some of the dorms are a little older.
Greek Life: The Greek life is not a huge part of campus. They have some influence.
Athletics: I think they are ok. It would be great if more students would attend.
Scholarships: I was fortunate to get an athletic scholarship and academic money to pay for everything. The school works hard to help students.
Diversity: Eckerd has lots of diversity. There are many international students here.
Campus Strictness: I haven't had any issues with the strictness of the school. I think they are pretty reasonable about everything.
Transportation: The campus itself is easy to walk. In order to get around town you would need a car.
Local Atmosphere: St. Petersburg is a great area. It has a vibrant downtown, great beaches and professional sports teams.
Nightlife: There are many places to go to in St.Petersburg and just up the road in Tampa.
Health & Safety: The campus security is good. I feel safe at all times. The security personnel are always visible and friendly and don't give the students a hard time.
Health & Safety: Campo is constantly around, but they're there to keep you safe more than get you in trouble. They get more annoyed with your glass bottle that holds your beer than the fact you're underage. They generally get that this is college and kids party. Punishments are paid with community service or small fees. The school is constantly testing security systems and emailing and texting students. When you first get to campus each dorm has a meeting with campus security and you're required to attend a safety talk and make an emergency plan.

Eckerd is a really unique school with hundreds of quirky and charming dimensions, but it's not for everyone. For some, the school is too small, offers limited major options, and has a somewhat repetitive social scene that can make Eckerd fell less like paradise and more like a very, very small tide pool. But for those who continue on at the College for all four years, there are some great memories to be had and life-long connections with both peers and professors to be made. Profiled in the book "Colleges That Change Lives," Eckerd is a school with a lot of potential, opportunities, and amazing experiences, but it is up to you to get involved and craft your own experience for the next four years of your lives.
However, there's no arguing that the faculty is amazing, the level of interaction is great, and the location is paradise. Eckerd is one of those schools where the world is at your fingertips—students can do everything from participate in a spring break service project overseas to work at the waterfront. There are countless varied activities to help students get involved in all aspects of campus life from academics to international aid or club sports, and there is a slew of support from peers, professors, and alumni to help make your dreams into a reality. Plus, all of this in a setting where the sun sets over your backyard and a walk along the water brings just one more dolphin sighting! For most, it's hard to believe Eckerd is a college and not just perpetual summer.

Should You Add Inflation Protection to Your Portfolio?
An unpredictable market, rising fuel prices, and growing concern that inflation may trend higher as the economic recovery takes hold.
These are three good reasons to add inflation protection to your portfolio, says Mario DeRose, fixed income strategist with Edward Jones in New York.
"There's always a place in a portfolio to hedge against inflation, even in periods when inflation seems unlikely in the near term," says DeRose, noting that shocks in the market can cause consumer prices to spike without warning. "You have to be on guard."
Enter: Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS.
TIPS are government bonds issued by the U.S. Treasuryin maturities that range from five to 30 years.
Unlike conventional bonds, TIPS pay out a guaranteed "real" return; the principal is adjusted for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index, CPI, and semi-annual interest payments (the yield) are modified accordingly.
At maturity, investors receive either the inflation-adjusted principal or par value, face value, of the bond, whichever is greater.
As such, TIPS are used to hedge inflation, helping investors maintain purchasing power when the price of goods and services climbs, with the added benefit of providing downside protection during periods of deflation.
Such securities have served investors well over the last few years, as falling interest rates push bondprices higher.
The Barclays Treasury Inflation Protected Securities index, for example, produced a total return (which consists of the bond's income distributions plus any appreciation or depreciation in the price of the bond itself) of 13.6 percent in 2011, 6.3 percent the year before, and 11.4 percent in 2009. It is up roughly 2.5 percent this year.
The total return for the SPDR DB International Government Inflation-Protected Bond ETF, is also up roughly 8 percent year-to-date.
By comparison, conventional 10-year Treasury bonds returned 17 percent last year and 8.1 percent in 2010, on the heels of a nearly 10 percent loss in 2009.
Negative Yields
Due to demand from wary investors, however, the yield on TIPS is in negative territory; for 10-year TIPS the interest payments are hovering at negative 0.4 percent.
Those buying today are willing to accept a negative yield because they believe inflation is likely to rise enough to compensate for the loss they're locking in and because they seek the safe haven that government backed bonds provide, says Christine Benz, director of personal finance for fund tracker Morningstar.
Though they're not the "screaming buy" they were in late 2008 and 2009, she notes, TIPS still play an important role in portfolio planning — particularly for retirees who feel the loss of buying power associated with higher inflation disproportionately.
"Retirees need to be sure they have adequate inflation protection, because they're not getting cost of living adjustments anymore through paychecks at work," she says. That, plus the fact that healthcare costs are climbing even faster than the overall rate of inflation, she says, makes higher prices harder to absorb.
CAUTION: Inflation Ahead
By most accounts, inflation is not a significant threat for 2012. (Though rising gas prices in January did give the CPI its biggest bump in four months.)
But David Darst, chief investment strategist for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, says that could change if the Federal Reserve takes additional steps to jump start the lackluster economy.
"Like everyone else, we don't see inflation as a big overriding concern right now, but we are worried about it longer term," he says, noting that TIPS and TIPS funds are a "little rich" at present.
Mihir Worah, managing director of PIMCO investment firm, which specializes in fixed income securities, also notes in his 2012 Inflation Outlook report that the firm is taking a longer term bias "toward higher inflation."
"Faced with this possibility of higher inflation, many investors may need to examine their allocations to assets associated with real return potential, including Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, TIPS, real estate, commodities and equities," he writes.
You can purchase TIPS, which are traditionally less volatile than other inflation hedges like commodities and currencies, directly from the U.S. Treasury.
Investment Options
But many opt for mutual funds and exchange traded funds, ETFs, that invest in inflation-protected securities.
The advantage of TIPS funds is that many hold TIPS with varying maturities, which can help diversify your bond exposure. They also allow investors to automatically reinvest the income they earn.
For "cheap" and "plain vanilla" TIPS funds, Morningstar recommendsiShares Barclays TIPS Bond Fund and Vanguard's Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, along with PIMCO's actively managed Harbor Real Return Fund .
Because of the negative yield, however, Benz suggests dollar cost averaging into the position, or buying smaller increments over a period of six months to a year, rather than investing in TIPS as a lump sum.
"The typical investor's portfolio probably doesn't have enough inflation protection, but it seems like a good idea to tiptoe in rather than buying a huge chunk of TIPS at this juncture," she says.

A battle is brewing between artsy East Williamsburg tenants and a tattooed motorcycle club, The Forbidden Ones.
The club congregates on Thames near in Brooklyn. Tenants at 13 and 15 Thames, a loft-style building, say the bikers have taken over and claim their landlord is paying them to force renters out.
"Our landlord has hired bikers. A bike gang is trying to intimidate people inside our building," said Jason Blackman.
Blackman claims the landlord wants to raise rent to attract tenants with bigger coffers and kick out the artists that currently live there.
"They're trying to bully us out, but we're not budging," said Blackman.
In January, the city ordered the first floor tenants to vacate. Since then, tenants say the tension has escalated. They claim the landlord recruited members from the bike club, that have always met on that block, and started paying them.
But if you ask the members, they'll tell you differently.
"We're here to make sure people don't sneak in and squat," said Tito Martinez, a Forbidden One member.
He said the landlord hired him to be the building's super. In turn, the club is allowed to park their bikes in the building's garage.
"The landlord is not paying us to force them out," said Martinez.
According to police records, they have received more than 30 9-1-1 calls from the building since January. The majority of calls are to report harassment.
PIX 11 was unable to reach the landlord for comment.

U.K. regulator to Google: Delete Street View data -- or else
The U.K.'s top privacy watchdog has decided that Google won't be hit with any fines over its collection of Street View data.

The company had offered to delete data back in 2010. But Google kept some data on hand, leading the ICO to reopen its investigation in April 2012.

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Rumble Fish contains many elements of the successful Hinton formula, in which a young male protagonist narrates the story of his often violent experiences during a crucial period of growing up. There are few adults or women who intrude on this romantic male stage, where the protagonist—like the reader—learns a number of important lessons about the world and people's roles in it. The names of the characters hint at the novel's allegorical mode: "Rusty-James" and "Motorcycle Boy," respectively, the narrator and the older brother who gives the narrator his lessons. The distinction of Rumble Fish is the intensity of its negative message.
If anything, Rumble Fish is more violent and action-packed than Hinton's earlier novels, for it includes a number of gang battles, from the early fight between Rusty-James and Buff Wilcox to Motorcycle Boy's violent death. Rusty-James is stabbed in that first rumble but is patched up by Motorcycle Boy at home, where the reader discovers that their mother has escaped to California and the two boys live with their alcoholic father. Time after time in the novel, Rusty-James has similar violent encounters, only to be saved by Motorcycle Boy, who appears out of nowhere, like a knight from a medieval romance.
Motorcycle Boy is not able in the end to save himself, however: Trying to free the "rumble fish" of the title by taking them from the pet store where they are sold...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Rusty-James, or Rusty, runs into his old friend, Steve Hays, at the beach. Five or six years have passed since they last saw each other. Steve is in college and Rusty is not long out of the reformatory. Rusty's memory is not very good these days. When Steve looks at the scar on Rusty's side, Rusty tells him that he got it in a knife fight. Steve remembers. He tells Rusty he was there when it happened several years before. When Steve mentions that Rusty looks just like someone from their past, Rusty thinks he could have been happy to see Steve again if he had not made him remember everything.
Rusty tells his story. At the age of fourteen, Rusty is hanging around Benny's, playing pool with his friends when he learns that Biff Wilcox wants to kill him. Rusty is not afraid of Biff and seems to be annoyed that Biff wants to kill him for the comments he made about a girl named Anita. He tells his friends what he said, and when the gang agrees that Rusty is telling the truth, the notion of fighting about it seems silly. Some of the boys, though, are holding on to the past, the days when gang fights were common. Steve tries to impart a warning to Rusty about gang fights, a warning handed down by Rusty's older brother, Motorcycle Boy, a former gang leader.
Rusty gets angry with Steve for bringing up Motorcycle Boy and makes plans to fight Biff. Rusty kills a few hours before the fight by spending some time with his girlfriend, Patty. He falls asleep while there, nearly missing the fight. Later, Rusty arrives to fight Biff, and is accompanied by his friends Steve, Smokey Bennet, and B. J. Jackson. Biff, too, brings some friends for backup. Biff's erratic behavior leads Rusty to believe that he is on drugs, which causes him to worry that the fight will not be a fair one. Rusty's fears are confirmed when Biff pulls a knife. Rusty is able to knock the knife away from Biff and beats him until it appears the fight is over. Motorcycle Boy arrives and announces his return. Rusty is momentarily distracted and vulnerable to being attacked. Biff seizes the opportunity to grab the knife and stabs Rusty in the side. Motorcycle Boy steps in and ends the fight by breaking Biff's wrist.
Motorcycle Boy and Steve manage to get Rusty home to the apartment the boys share with their mostly absent alcoholic father. They bandage Rusty's wounds. Motorcycle Boy talks about his recent trip to California. Rusty falls asleep and dreams about his older brother. Rusty is uncomfortable being himself and is preoccupied with becoming just like his brother.
Despite the knife wound, Rusty shows up for school the next day. After school, he steals a set of hubcaps from a car near Benny's, while Steve talks about his mother's recent hospitalization. The owner of the car notices the theft in progress and begins chasing the boys,...

Citing those threats, Levin said the committee could not allow further delays to Hagel's nomination.
"We need a secretary of defense," Levin said.
Democrats highlighted Hagel's military background and the unique perspective he would bring to the Pentagon while arguing for giving a second-term president his Cabinet choices.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said he wants a secretary of defense worrying about the men and women of the military, and he was certain that would be Hagel's overriding concern.
Republicans contended that Hagel was out of the mainstream on numerous critical issues, from threats in the Middle East to Iran's nuclear ambitions. His halting testimony at his confirmation hearing last month also troubled senators.
"The next secretary of defense will deal with a world on fire, and the testimony of Sen. Hagel was not reassuring," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. McCain said Hagel's performance was the worst of any nominee to testify before the committee.
Hagel's allies acknowledged his struggles, with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., saying she wished he were feistier and Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, saying Hagel should have been more forceful. But they argued that should not disqualify the nominee.
All 55 Senate Democrats are expected to vote for Hagel, and two Republicans - Sens. Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Mike Johanns of Nebraska - have announced their support for the nominee. Although McCain and several other Senate Republicans oppose the choice, they have said they won't take the unprecedented step of delaying a vote for defense secretary.
Privately, Republicans say a drawn-out filibuster would be unsuccessful.
More than a dozen Republicans have said they will oppose their former colleague, and several others have indicated they are likely to vote no. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., a member of the Armed Services Committee, said Tuesday she would vote against the nominee, citing his performance at his confirmation hearing.
Hagel seemed ill-prepared under withering cross-examination from committee Republicans in nearly eight hours of testimony on Jan. 31. He was repeatedly pressed about past statements and votes on Israel, Iran and nuclear weapons, with GOP lawmakers suggesting he wasn't sufficiently supportive of Israel or anti-Iran.
In the memo circulated Tuesday, Republicans sought to draw comparisons to the 2005 fight over President George W. Bush's nomination of John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations, when Democrats tried to stop the nomination. The position is not Cabinet-level, however.
Faced with a Democratic filibuster, Bush circumvented the Senate and made Bolton a recess appointment.
One senator, Republican David Vitter of Louisiana, did not vote in the committee Tuesday.

With their season in the balance, the Montreal Canadiens will go back to goaltender Jaroslav Halak tonight when they face the Washington Capitals in Game 5 of their NHL Eastern Conference playoff series.
The game can be seen live on TSN and TSN HD starting at 7pm et/4pm pt.
Halak, who started the first three games of the series, sat in Game 4 in favour of goaltender Carey Price, who Price who allowed four goals on 36 shots – with the Capitals two other goals going into an empty net.
Price also logged four penalty minutes late in Game 4, as the netminder was twice whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct in the third period. Both penalties came directly after Washington goals.
Price shot the puck into a crowd of Capitals after Jason Chimera's goal made it 4-2 with 7:59 left and then hit Nicklas Backstrom while the Washington forward skated past the Montreal bench following his empty-net goal in the closing seconds.
The Canadiens, who looked to be in control of Game 4 before being dominated in the third period of Game 4, held a team meeting yesterday to try to figure out what they could do to stop Washington's offence.
Since losing the opener of this best-of-seven series in overtime, the Presidents' Trophy-winning Capitals have rattled off three straight wins. Washington has exploded for 17 goals over the last three games to grab the 3-1 series lead.
Washington is holding a 3-1 series lead for the first time since it ousted Buffalo in the 1998 Eastern Conference finals for the franchise's only trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. The Capitals are 2-6 all-time in Game 5s when leading three games to one in a series.
The Capitals have to like their chances in tonight's game after posting the NHL's best record at home during the regular season, going 30-6-5 in D.C.. The Canadiens were 19-17-5 on the road this year.
Montreal, meanwhile, needs to make a monumental comeback to win this series. The Canadiens have come back from a 3-1 series deficit in recent memory, winning the final three games against Boston in the 2004 conference quarterfinals. That was the only time the club was able to win a series after trailing 3-1.
The Canadiens, who were swept by Boston in last year's playoffs, have lost 10 of their last 11 postseason games, including six straight on home ice.
Alex Ovechkin scored twice and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 victory to help the Capitals move within a victory of the conference semifinals. Ovechkin has four goals and four assists in the series after going without a point or a shot in Game 1. Washington's captain has 15 goals and 25 points in his last 15 playoff games.
Backstrom had a goal and two assists and Mike Knuble scored twice. Semyon Varlamov, making his second straight start in place of Jose Theodore, stopped 36 shots. Varlamov will get the call again tonight for the Caps.
"I thought we had a lot of good shots and good looks," said Washington head coach Bruce Boudreau. "That was the start of our game coming back. They played real good in the second and the crowd was really into it. They blitzed us but we were able to weather the storm."
Dominic Moore, Michael Cammalleri and Brian Gionta each notched a goal for the Canadiens
"The game plan we had from the start has worked, but we've fallen asleep at times and that hurts us," said Gionta. "In every game we've played real strong, but at a certain point there is a breakdown and they score. So we have to regroup cause one more loss and it's over."
The Canadiens are expected to play tonight without defenseman Jaroslav Spacek, who is suffering from an unspecified illness.
The Habs and Caps have never faced each other in the postseason before this spring, but played a very tight season series this year. Each team won two games and only one of the four tilts was decided by more than one goal -- a 4-2 win by Washington on Jan. 5.
If necessary, Game 6 of this series will be played Monday in Montreal.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

12oz can poured into a snifter. Canning date smeared on the bottom.
A: Pours a clear very light pale yellow with a white head on top. The head is fairly quick to dissipate, leaving a ring around the edge. No lacing.
S: Lots of coriander in this aroma that blends with a citrus aroma from what must be the curacao peel. Yeastiness in the background.
T: The flavor is substantial in this brew with a range of spices, fruitiness and Belgian yeast. The coriander and yeast combination is fairly strong but the flavor isnt dominated by them. Floral aftertaste from the hops.
M: Light body with a sizable dose of carbonation. Refreshing and crisp finish that works great on a summer day.
Overall real drinkable beer with a load of flavor. While it may not be my style this one can be appreciated for being finely crafted. A much better alternative to any of the macro wheat beers.

Poured into a glass from the can, it has a hazy orange color body with a thick fuzzy head on it. The smell has a lemon and spice aroma coming off of the beer. The taste is of citrus first and let it sit on your tongue and the coriander comes out. The mouthfeel is good and overall is a nice beer.

Dear Potential Coach,
We value and appreciate our coaches and the time they have to put in. In order to become a coach, you will need to go through the following steps:
1. You will need to notify our registrar via e-mail at email@example.com of your interest to become a coach. Please include the following in your e-mail:
a. Name
b. Address
c. Drivers license with expiration date
d. Date of Birth
e. Age group of the team you are interested in
f. Picture of yourself
2. Complete the Program Administration Registration Form . Print and sign three copies of this form. For your information, the following is some information about some of the fields on the form:
a. SEASON: Unless you know it, leave it blank.
b. LEAGUE: MYSL
c. CLUB: Either REC for Recreational or SURF for club soccer
d. TEAM ID Number: Unless you know it, leave it blank
3. You will need to complete risk management (live scan). This involves getting your fingerprints taken. In order to do this, you will need to set up an appointment with a UPS store (phone numbers vary) or the Murrieta Police Department at 951-304-2677. Before going to your appointment, print and sign 3 copies of the Livescan form. For your information, the following is some information about some of the fields on the form:
a. LEAGUE NAME: Murrieta Youth Soccer League
b. TEAM NAME: Unless you know it, leave it blank.
c. Ensure you input your e-mail address and phone numbers.
4. Once you've completed each of the above steps, e-mail the registrar again at email@example.com to arrange to drop off all of the above forms.
5. Lastly, you will need to attend a coaching clinic to obtain a coaching license. MYSL does provide this every season at no cost to you. Alternatively, you may arrange to attend an appropriate clinic through CalSouth. Upon receiving your e-mail in Step 1, we shall ensure you are notified of upcoming clinics via MYSL.
The following is answers to some commonly asked questions:
Q: Is Risk Management mandatory if I am helping my child's team?
A: Absolutely! Anyone working with youth MUST have Risk Management approval. There are NO exceptions!
Q: What is the difference between Risk Management and Live Scan?
A: Risk Management and Live Scan are one in the same. Risk Management is the procedure and Live Scan is the term used based on the digital imagery fingerprints that are now taken.
Q: If I have done LiveScan through my work or other activity, does it count?
A: Unfortunately NO. Like all new jobs, Risk Management/Live Scan is a process that must be taken anew for each organization or job you are seeking.
Q: If I took the Live San with MYSL in the Fall season, do I need to take it again?
A: No, once approved, your Live Scan is good for life provided that you took it on or after the Fall 2006 season.
Q: I think I have Live Scan approval, how can I check on that?
A: If you think you may be approved already, you may verify this by e-mailing the registrar at firstname.lastname@example.com. He or she will advise you of your approval status or if new ones will need to be taken should there have been a technology issue.
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to your dedication and hard work for the youth of our community. If you have any questions, feel free to contact at email@example.com ,
MYSL Board

Camera Can See Through Clothing But Sadly Not In The Way That I Was Hoping For :(
The ThruVision camera, using T-ray ("terahertz ray") technology, can see through people's clothes. The technology has been used by astronomers for some time to study stars, and recently somebody decided to test it on a woman's blouse. Ha, I just said blouse, I'm so old school. Anyways, you won't spot any boobage, but the camera can detect drugs, weapons and explosives from up to 25 meters away.
(T-ray) radiation is a form of low level energy emitted by all people and objects. These are able to pass through clothing, paper, ceramics and wood but are blocked by metal and water. The system works by collecting these waves and processing them to form an image which can reveal concealed objects.
So yeah, the systems are likely to be implemented in airports, subways, train stations, etc. God I'm depressed about this. I get a message in my inbox that reads "Camera that can see through clothing invented" and naturally I got pretty excited. Too bad it only sees in colored blobs. Someone give me a call when the actual T-T ray camera is invented.

You won't be the meeting planner forever; what you can do to ensure future success
Turnover can be high in religious meeting planning. Many people — perhaps you — inherit the meeting-planning role as part of elected or appointed positions within religious organizations. Others of you came into staff positions with no previous meeting-planning experience. Planning religious meetings is a difficult job — stepping into it with no experience makes it even more challenging.
You and your religious organization should think of succession planning as a sacred duty. The knowledge possessed by religious meeting planners is extremely valuable; organizations suffer if strategies aren't developed and implemented to capture that expertise.
You are serving well when you show the way for those who follow you.
A Big Responsibility
Based in Silver Spring, Md., Sheri Clemmer is the General Conference associate meeting planner for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Clemmer's primary responsibility is the church's General Conference, held every five years with attendance of more than 50,000.
She came into her job in 2002, entirely new to meeting planning. How Clemmer, her predecessor, and the church's administration worked to make her transition into the position a success provides valuable lessons for meeting planners and their organizations.
Inside Job
Clemmer was new to meeting planning, but she was not new to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She grew up in the faith, and she worked in another department of the church's administration prior to the meeting-planning job.
"It's very, very important to know the internal culture," Clemmer says. "There were so many nuances that I already knew. I had been a Seventh-day Adventist all of my life, but it wouldn't have helped me coming into this job.
"Look from within. It's a big help," she says.
Lesson one: Try to choose a successor who is familiar with the church organization's administration.
The Shadow Knows
Clemmer was able to shadow her predecessor, Linda de Leon, for two years prior to de Leon's retirement.
"Wherever Linda went, I went. That was extremely helpful to see how she handled certain issues."
Of course, the church organization had to pay two people for one job during those two years, but Clemmer believes the investment was worth it in this case because of de Leon's level of meeting-planning knowledge. (She had 15 years of experience.)
"Our treasury department has worked it into our budget." Clemmer says. "They had it in place before we brought in someone else."
As a good steward for your organization, you might have to work to make shadowing part of the budget. Create a cost/benefit analysis to help make your case. (For example, how much would a big room-block/attrition mistake cost?)
Lesson two: Let the new person shadow the predecessor.
Ease Into It
While Clemmer was shadowing, she also was given responsibilities that gave her hands-on experience. Two annual meetings were her responsibility from the start, and she was placed in charge of working with hotels. She added tasks as time passed.
"I didn't have to be responsible for everything at once," she says. "Linda was a fallback."
She also had full access to any information that she needed. "We both had unlimited access to all the files we were working with," Clemmer says.
Lesson three: Let the new person learn the job gradually.
Stay in Touch
After the two-year training period was over, de Leon retired and was gone from the building, but she was retained as a consultant. She also has traveled on site visits with Clemmer and her staff. How important is that?
"It's huge! We have her brain to pick at any time," Clemmer says.
Again, retaining someone as a consultant is worth the money if the outgoing person possesses a wealth of knowledge.
Clemmer says: "We feel that it has been extremely helpful."
Lesson four: Retain knowledgeable predecessors as consultants.
Finally, the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference administration doesn't use third-party planners, but Clemmer believes that they might make sense in some circumstances.
"If you're a smaller organization or a new meeting planner, there's nothing wrong with finding and using a good one. I would not hesitate for a moment to do that," says Clemmer, adding that the knowledge gained by developing a working relationship with third-party planners is valuable.
Drill Down
Succession Tips
Sheri Clemmer recommends:
Create a timeline for all your meetings so that your successor can complete tasks on a timely basis.
Provide detailed descriptions of the boards and committees with which you work. Describe their protocol, responsibilities, and boundaries.
Designate a staff or board member who could step into your job temporarily, in case of an emergency. Let the key people in your organization know who that designated person is.
Final Tip: Build meeting timelines into an electronic calendar, such as Microsoft Outlook, so that your successor will be reminded automatically of important dates.
The Meeting Guidebook: An Essential for Every Event
What to Include in Your Guidebooks
Ronald Kelly, general secretary of The Wesleyan Church, Indianapolis, and an RCMA board member, is a meeting planner who inherited the job from an 18-year veteran. Kelly says he learned the details of his job by reading the minutes of past meetings.
Kelly says: "I would suggest a guidebook/manual be developed for each meeting that the new person is going to be overseeing."
Kelly developed such a document after his first major meeting so that whoever follows him will have a working guideline for putting the conference together.
Kelly's manuals include:
- Space requirements
- Breakout requirements
- Sleeping rooms
- Upgraded room requirements
- Special considerations expected
- Handouts to be included
- Supporting documents to be included
- Sample RFP
- Support people needed
- Contract requirements
- Light/sound/AV requirements
- Professional resources, i.e., who does the final review of the contracts
- Committee selection procedures
- Advertising
- Exhibit guidelines and contracts
- Meal function coordinator
- Personnel required
- Awards: size, style, who presents
- Hospitality issues/personnel
- Photography requirements
- Signage
- VIP considerations

Patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis (UDP) have been reported to have varied respiratory symptoms and often reduced lung function. We sought to describe the polysomnographic respiratory characteristics in patients with UDP without obstructive sleep apnea.
We prospectively collected 5 cases with clinical investigation regarding symptoms, lung function, and nocturnal polysomnography. The respiratory sleep characteristics were analyzed with standardized scoring of respiratory events in 30-sec epochs and comparison according to sleep-wake stages and body position with respect to oximetry. The cases were compared to 5 controls matched for age, gender, and body mass index.
Three of 5 patients had significant awake lung restriction with a mean (range) forced vital capacity of 1.89 (1.48-2.24) liters, 72% (45% to 102%) predicted. All had REM sleep with few apneas and episodes of prolonged hypopneas characterized by important desaturation noted on oximetry. These desaturations were greatest during REM sleep when the patients slept supine with a mean (SD) saturation of 90.8% (4.5%) and minimum of 64% or on the side unaffected by UDP with a mean saturation of 87.8% (5.3%) and minimum of 67% (p < 0.0001 compared to same positions awake). Other sleep stages had few, if any significant desaturations and these events rarely occurred when the patient slept in the supine position. Saturation was lower in all sleep-wake stages and sleep positions compared to controls (p < 0.0001).
Patients with UDP demonstrate position-dependent hypopneas in REM sleep with frequent desaturations.

Re: When will this rain ever stop???Just watched the news showing all footage from Toowoomba today...difficult to remember that this was Qld not overseas
Re: When will this rain ever stop???yep I think I might actually get some full mudguards for the commuter, so just so everyone knows, after I fit them, the rain will stop. probably about thursday/friday this week.
Life is not about waiting for the rain to pass.....it's about learning to dance (or ride) in the rain.

When will this rain ever stop???
Good work taking one for the team. Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: When will this rain ever stop???Rode in monday but didn't today as it wasn't raining when I left Monday but then soaked my shoes after I had gone about 5kms. Didn't fancy the wet shoe shuffle this morning. Work sent us home early and told us to wing it tomorrow. I was intending to ride in tomorrow but some have said it is supposed to be worse than 74. I work on North Quay and come from Kuraby (normally SE freeway less detours around those stormwater sections).
Will it be even remotely possible tomorrow with detours if the rain keeps up? I'm not a kamikaze - just don't mind riding in the rain. All of this would be quite amazing if it wasn't so serious for some. Cheers.
Re: When will this rain ever stop???Even if the rain stops and when the flooding goes down, won't all the city bike paths be broken and lost. It will take weeks before they are all repaired, espicially the Toombul to Nudgee Beach Path (Jim Soorley Path)

Re: When will this rain ever stop???I rode in from Parkinson today - Mountain Bike time - to Coro Drive. I work opposite the Drift restaurant on Coro drive. Told to go at 12pm and all the back ways out of lang parade were flooded. No commuting for a couple of days as we are all working from home to ensure safety of everyone. Interesting times...
Re: When will this rain ever stop???
I put a thread up about QLD floods including some photos I took of KBB this afternoon. http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=36487&view=unread#unread Yep, I agree it will be weeks until the bikeway is all fixed but I'll let them off as they probably will have far more important things to attend to. If it's not raining tomorrow, and work doesn't allow me back then I'll be going for a ride to Redcliffe via Sandgate road I think Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
