MARFU Poised for Quarterfinals |
Colleges - Women's College |
Game of the weekend will come down to Maryland v West Chester. By Jackie Finlan The Mid-Atlantic's DI women's colleges start whittling down its contenders for nationals, as the quarterfinals kick off Saturday. The LAU champions are heavy favorites in their matches, but the Maryland vs West Chester game will most likely produce the closest matchup. UMD and West Chester haven't seen each other since early last fall, when the Golden Rams edged the Terps 24-22. But that was a long time ago. Maryland is coming off a big game with Virginia, a friendly that ended in a 29-27 victory to UVA. "It was one of those matches where the team that made the least amount of errors won the match," Maryland coach Pamela Gouws said. "Both UVA and Univ of Maryland had many turnover balls, and we each capitalized on each other's mistakes and lapses in focus." Both teams scored five tries and the win came down to conversions. "From a coach's point of view, many of these errors were frustrating to watch as they were elementary lapses in focus," Gouws continued. "However, the match was hard fought and exciting to the very end. Quite a difference from the team that came out during the VWIT tournament! [UVA coach] Nancy Kechner expressed her good thoughts on the transformation of the team from VWIT weekend to this weekend. I am very proud of our team." West Chester has only played one pre-season match against Temple, which the Rams won 63-0. But the varsity team has a little more experience in the post-season and at nationals, so even though UMD has shown vast improvement in the last couple of weeks, the slight edge goes to the EPRU #2 team. Navy is coming off a successful spring break tour to Ireland in which the Midshipmen defeated Longford 19-5 and Tuam 65-0. The team followed with a 24-22 loss to Army last weekend, and showed that reinstated head coach Sue Parker has her team moving in the right direction. James Madison University, the VRU's third seed, shouldn't be much of a problem for Navy. Penn State played a very tough schedule in Italy, taking on top clubs around the country and racking up a 1-2 record. No doubt the Nittany Lions have exited their spring break tour a stronger, more cohesive unit, much to the peril to Virginia Tech. PSU's depth and quality is unrivaled, and the team will lean on notables Lisa Henneman, Sadie Anderson and Deven Owsiany, who returns from the Hong Kong 7s. VRU leader Virginia is also favored in its match against Princeton, although Kechner is by no means taking the game lightly. In years past, Princeton has thwarted UVA's advancement through nationals, and the team, which is coming off a 27-17 win over Brown, isn't taking any chances. UVA is dealing with a couple of important injuries - notably in captain Jen Van - but the small, speedy team will likely see its way into the semifinals next weekend.

Maryland Gov. O'Malley signs environmental bills, Phylicia's Law
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has put his signature on 294 bills passed by the legislature this year.
O'Malley signed the bills, which included his initiatives to increase the state's so-called flush tax and limit where new septic systems can be placed, during more than two-hour long ceremony Wednesday afternoon.
The flush-tax proposals will double a $30 annual fee paid by state residents and the septic legislation will restrict new septic-based development in the state's most rural areas.
O'Malley also signed legislation to eliminate estate taxes on family farms if people who inherit the property agree to use it for agricultural purposes.
"Taken together, these reforms are going to do a much better job of preserving the agricultural lands that make Maryland Maryland," the Democrat governor said before the signing.
He also signed a bill designed to improve coordination between law enforcement and community groups when a child disappears.
Named after Phylicia Barnes, a North Carolina teen who disappeared in 2010 while visiting Baltimore and was later found dead, the bill requires state officials to publish a list of missing children and annual statistics.
Other bills signed by O'Malley included measures to require the state to keep a list registry of foreclosed properties and a bill that makes it illegal for employers to ask for applicants' or workers' log-in information for social media websites.
Maryland is the first state to protect employee online account access information.

A GROUP of fundraisers have signed up to shift the post-Christmas pounds in an effort to raise funds for the Friends of Birkenhead Council Kennels.
Trustee and Treasurer for the charity, Vikki Ogilvie decided she would raise money by losing weight.
Vikki said: "I'm always looking for new ways to raise funds for the pound, and everyone always needs to lose a bit of weight after Christmas, so I thought it would be great if we could get a group together and give £1 for every lb that we lost."
Friends of Birkenhead Council Kennels, or FOBCK, was established three years ago to raise funds for the improvement of Birkenhead's council kennels, which is one of only six kennels across the country that takes in stray dogs.
Vikki and 13 other fundraisers have signed up to lose weight in aid of the kennels and plan to donate £1 for every lb that they lose.
Vikki added: "Everyone is doing really well, the fact that it is in aid of the kennels makes it easier to stay on track-although I am still a way off my target weight.
"It's been a great success; so far we're raising about £30 a week."

Mitt Romney and the Republican Party have lately been raising more money than President Obama and the Democrats. They won the money chase in May and in June. Normally, you would expect the incumbent to raise far more money.
And President Obama's campaign promptly warned supporters that he could lose without more cash. Though the Democrats have still raised more in the overall campaign, this led us to ask: How much does a fundraising advantage matter?

Imagine going into bankruptcy with billions of dollars in cash still in your bank account. That's what American Airlines did last November. The thinking was that management would gut the company's pensions and union contracts and emerge from bankruptcy ready to compete.
But then US Airways said it could take over American and be profitable, and it wouldn't have to hurt American's employees nearly as bad in the process. American's pilots, mechanics and flight attendants loved that idea.

The bucking bull has long been the embodiment of the American rodeo, and it takes just four seconds for a strong young bull to reap its owner as much as $50,000 in prize money.
Four seconds is how long each 1- or 2-year-old bull will wear a weight strapped to its back as the massive animal is judged on how high it kicks and how much it twists.
In the past 10 years, bucking bulls have become a major industry. The price of the best bloodlines can soar to $250,000, and competitions take place everywhere from Madison Square Garden to Wyoming.

Think of this like a snapshot — a few perspectives of HIV-negative 20-somethings.
To start, we posted the following query on NPR's Facebook page:
"Thirty years ago, a positive HIV status was considered a death sentence. As treatments for the disease have advanced over the past three decades, we're wondering how younger people view the disease today."
Hundreds of people e-mailed and commented with their reactions. We also gathered reactions from young folks we met on the street.

The new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, is perhaps the most anticipated movie of the summer. It's the last film in the Batman trilogy that writer-director Christopher Nolan has crafted over the past 7 years.
Nolan wanted The Dark Knight Rises, which will be released in theaters July 20, to feel like a historical epic. As he tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz, he looked to films like Fritz Lang's Metropolis, David Lean's Dr. Zhivago, and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.

None of this bodes well for the future, but there is a glimmer of hope. It turns out that U.S. carbon emissions are down nearly 8 percent since 2006.

Proper maintenance and care for your pipe will ensure it tastes great and lasts a long time. If not properly cleaned it could develop a sour taste limiting the enjoyment of your tobacco pipe. You should clean your pipe after every use and also once a week. Never leave unsmoked tobacco in your pipe. As that could also ruin the taste of your tobacco pipe.
Cake is very important for the bowl of a tobacco pipe. The cake insulates the bowl and helps the air flow for the tobacco to have a clean and even burn. The cake will also help prevent bowl burn outs.
To prevent the bowl of the tobacco pipe from breaking, the cake should be at a maximum of 1/16 of an inch thick. A pipe reaming tool will help scrape the cake to the desired thickness.

Insider charged with hacking California canal system
Ex-supervisor installed unauthorized software on SCADA system, indictment says
IDG News Service - SAN FRANCISCO -- A former employee of a small California canal system has been charged with installing unauthorized software and damaging the computer used to divert water from the Sacramento River.
Michael Keehn, 61, former electrical supervisor at the Tehama Colusa Canal Authority (TCAA) in Willows, Calif., faces 10 years in prison on charges that he "intentionally caused damage without authorization to a protected computer," according to Keehn's Nov. 15 indictment. He did this by installing unauthorized software on the TCAA's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, the indictment states.
Keehn accessed the system on or about Aug. 15, according to the indictment. He is set to appear in federal court on Dec. 4 to face charges of computer fraud.
As an electrical supervisor with the authority, he was responsible for computer systems and is still listed as the contact for the organization's Web site.
With a staff of 16, the TCAA operates two canals, the Tehama Colusa Canal and the Corning Canal, that provide water for agriculture in central California, near the city of Chico. Both systems are owned by the federal government.
The security of SCADA systems, which are used to control heavy machinery in industry, has become a hot-button topic in recent years. In September, video of an Idaho National Laboratory demonstration of a SCADA attack was aired on CNN, showing how a software bug could be exploited to destroy a power generator.
In the video, the turbine was gradually worn out and left shuddering and smoking. Sources familiar with the hack say this was done by turning the generator off and on while it was out of phase with the power grid, putting excessive stress on the turbine and causing its components to wear out.
It's not clear how much damage the attack on the authority's SCADA system could have caused, but in 2000 a disgruntled former employee was able to access the SCADA system at Maroochy Water Services in Nambour, Australia, and spill raw sewage into waterways, hotel grounds and canals in the area. That man, Vitek Boden, was eventually sentenced to two years in prison.
Even if an attack were to knock the TCAA's SCADA system offline, the canals could continue to operate, said Robin Taylor, assistant U.S. attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, which is prosecuting the Keehn case. "When the computer doesn't work, they have to go to manual operation," she said.
The intrusion cost the TCAA more than $5,000 in damages, Taylor said.

America's forgotten native beverage teaPosted Wednesday, November 23, 2011, at 2:28 PM For photo prints, go to www.stevenfoster.com/prints.html
No, instead, I'm going to focus on America's forgotten beverage tea -- yaupon holly -- that just like coffee, tea, and yerba maté is loaded with healthful antioxidants, and of course, caffeine. We grow yaupon holly as a semi-evergreen, red fruit-bearing, ornamental shrub. I have two planted in front of my house. It's native to Arkansas, too, originating in the southern Ouachitas. Yaupon holly is most closely related to Ilex species found in the mountains of Mexico and Caribbean islands. It is a northern genetic outlier to subtropical and tropical hollies. This shrub evolved in the Ouachita Mountains, then thousands of years ago spread throughout the southeastern United States. Anthropology reveals that if you were a European explorer entering an indigenous village along the Gulf Coast, the elders would greet you with an offering of yaupon holly tea, the leaves of which were grown in semi-wild plantations, and served up as a sacred or ceremonial beverage. It was called "black drink" as the leaves were usually decocted down to a thick brew (think espresso). Indians called it cassine. In 1542, a book on the travels of Álvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca (1490-1558), long-predating the English Pilgrims of our Thanksgiving celebration, provides the first published observations on its use. Earlier, in 1536, Pánfilo de Narváez (1478-1528), whose observations were published in an English edition in 1904, met with the beverage among native groups along the Texas coast: "Afterwards he [the tribal leader] commandeth Cassine to be brewed, which is a drinke made of the leaves of a certaine tree. They drinke this cassine very hotte; he drinketh first, then causeth to be given thereof to all of them one after another in the same boule. . . it taketh away hunger and thirst for four and twenty houres after." In addition, a thick brew of black tea was drunk before going into battle, both as a stimulant and a ceremonial cleanser imbibed until it induced nausea. Yaupon holly's South American cousin, yerbe maté, also a caffeine-containing holly, is available wherever herbal teas are sold. So how did the yaupon holly become North America's only caffeine-containing plant forever forgotten as a beverage tea? I suspect the answer lies with the accepted scientific name bestowed on the plant by English botanist William Aiton in 1789, honoring the tea's ceremonial use before entering battle -- Ilex vomitoria. |

John Pippy (Philip Petrunak / October 18, 2012) |
Speakers at the Somerset County Republican Fall Banquet were fired up about coal Thursday and the fate of one of the county's largest industries.
Keynote speaker John Pippy, CEO of the Pennsylvania Coal Alliance, described the "war on coal" as a war on the middle class.
"Since President Obama has been in office, coal production nationally is down 6 percent and Pennsylvania is down 17 percent," he said. "We need to start fighting back."
Pippy, a former state representative and senator in the 37th District, said the United States is falling behind countries such as China because of heavy government regulation, competitive shortfalls in technology and high energy costs.
"(The U.S.) is sending $300 billion a year overseas to buy energy that we could mine, drill and use in our own country," he said. "I hear you have some maple syrup around here. That'd be like you buying your syrup from Canada. It just doesn't make sense."
Pippy criticized Obama's support for Solyndra, a solar energy company that filed for bankruptcy last year. The Obama administration OK'd a more than $500 million loan to the clean energy company in 2009, two years before its collapse.
Pippy said the country needs to focus on developing its domestic energies.
"We're an energy-rich nation and it's not just coal," he said. "It's natural gas, nuclear and American oil as well."
Pippy's message was echoed by the other speakers at Thursday night's banquet. State Rep. Carl Walker Metzgar, R-Allegheny Township, drew distinctions between the president and Somerset County residents.
"The guy in the White House doesn't like coal miners," he said. "He doesn't like people who own coal mines. He doesn't like any of the people who work hard for a living to make money. This election is about choice. Do you control your lives or does the government?

[edit] Notes
- ^ The four golems resemble the band KISS, specifically in the pose found on the to their album Destroyer

Preschool students at The Learning Lamp in Jennerstown are using touch-screen tablet computers to learn.
"They are teacher-friendly and kid-friendly," said Kayla Trexel, center director and preschool teacher.
The tablets use an adaptive teaching software, the iStartSmart program. Each child logs in by touching his photo on the screen. They then chose a frog, duck or platypus and choose travel, garden or safari. They go through a session about numbers, letters, shapes or colors.The 19 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds at the preschool have been using the five tablet computers for about three weeks. The children wear headphones so the others don't hear what they hear.
"It's very animated and interactive; they think they are playing games and don't realize they are learning," Trexel said. "It is targeted to their age. I can log in and track what they have done and can print it out for their parents. The program locks so they can't move to things they are not ready for until they learn the previous session."
Erica Ponczek, director of child development and early learning for The Learning Lamp, said the integration of technology such as iStartSmart in early learning settings is an approach that is aligned with Pennsylvania's Comprehensive Literacy Plan and national Common Core State Standards.
"Both recognize that technology has changed the way we read, write, teach and learn and place greater emphasis on digital literacy," she said. "The National Institute for Literacy believes that just as young children need book-handling skills associated with early literacy development, they need opportunities to develop the early technology-handling skills associated with early digital literacy."
The International Society for Technology in Education recommends that children become familiar with basic skills in technology operations and concepts by age 5.
"Technology such as the iSS doesn't replace traditional hands-on learning. It can't," Ponczek said. "What it does do is complement it. Children will still use crayons and blocks and engage in interactive lessons with the teacher, but they'll also use an awesome standards-based adaptive software to sharpen foundation reading and math skills."
The children at the Jennerstown center only use the tablet computers for 10 minutes every other day as young children have short attention spans. While a group was using the tablets, one of the girls reached over to another girl's tablet to move shapes for her.
"They like to help each other," Trexel said. "They know they are only to do their own computer, but they forget. I wondered at first how to fit it into the curriculum, but it worked out well. I've had no negative comments from any of the parents."
The Learning Lamp operates seven preschools in Somerset, Cambria and Bedford counties, serving 219 children. The Jennerstown center's tablet computers were funded through North Star School District's Keystones to Opportunity grant. The Learning Lamp has applied for a PNC Grow Up Great grant for tablet computers for the Somerset preschool. The second phase of the project will be to apply for grants for the preschools in Cambria and Bedford counties.

The 3 Mistakes Of My Life is a book that revolves around three young lads and their ambitions in life, as well as the events that pose a threat to their relationship with each other.
Summary Of The Book
The 3 Mistakes Of My Life revolves around Govind, Omi, and Ishaan. Although they have different personalities, their love for cricket unites them. They decide to start a shop that sells cricket-related items. Omi's father is a priest at the temple, and has a great deal of influence there. They then decide to launch their shop in the commercial premises of the temple. Among the three, Govind is the most business minded, as he and his mother were left to fend for themselves when his father left them. He desires to become rich, and also attributes his business-mindedness to the fact that he's a Gujarati, who are known for good trading.
Ishaan is the most fond of playing cricket, and decides to help a young boy who wants to land a spot in the Indian Cricket Team. Ishaan's sister, Vidya, is determined towards making something of herself, as she's tired of their financial status. She is currently gearing up for her medical entrance tests. However, she is weak in mathematics. Ishaan requests Govind to tutor his sister, as Govind is good at math. However, as time passes by, the two fall in love and try their best to hide it from everyone, especially Ishaan.
The three are very close to each other. Things take a turn with the horrendous earthquake in Gujarat, the Godhra incident, and the riots that followed. This book revolves around the three mistakes made by these young lads, what they are, and the way it alters the course of their lives and that of those around them. The 3 Mistakes Of My Life was greatly appreciated by its readers, and was adapted into a movie titled Kai Po Che!, which was released in 2013.

When i read other reviews about this book and also enquired with my friends, they were not very happy about this book but when i read this book i felt the same language which we are used to from Chtan's books, yes it is no where near to his works like "Five Point someone" or "2 States" but it isnt bad either, the way he gives background to each character and ties up all the loose ends together is what i like in this book as well, it also touches a few sensitive aspects of Gujrat but also explains how they impact business and people.
On delivery front, i received the book in 3 days, which is pretty fast and the packing was good with no bent edges etc and the price is also good so a thumbs up for that

A few days ago a story broke that claimed Kobe Bryant hisses on the court when he wants the ball. What more can you expect from the Black Mamba, right?
Well, acting like a snake is not the only thing Kobe likes to do--or has liked to do--with his reptilian friends. A few years back he was hanging out with the guys from ******* and decided to take part in one of their stunts--jumping over a pool of snakes!
They of course never made it. Since Kobe is still alive (and this clip is a few years old) we can assume he did--but it is still cool to watch!

With some long-running sitcoms, the postscript of the series finale will show key characters filming their last scenes. The director yells "cut" and shouts the actor's name, the crew and audience applaud, and hugs and tears commence.
The final week of 2014 strikes similar chords, at least when it comes to watching the starting pitchers wrap up their seasons. By and large, the various permutations of the rotation have pulled their weight. The starters aren't all equal, but even the guys who didn't have good seasons had redeeming moments, or nice stories. It doesn't rise to the level of a misty moment when Dylan Axelrod exits after 5⅔ innings, but he was in some episodes I liked, and he probably did all he could.
Andre Rienzo is a better example of this dynamic. He pitched six effective innings against Kansas City on Thursday night, departing after giving up a leadoff single. It locked in an no-decision at best during the worst September some of us may ever witness, so it's not exactly warm and fuzzy. But he had a nice season and actually provided some legitimate entertainment along the way, so he deserves an isolated applause track.
"Isolated" can't be stressed enough, because immediately after he left, the Sox bungled two bunts and allowed the decisive run to score (unearned, of course). At that point, CSN Chicago could've shown an Andre Rienzo retrospective instead of the last three innings, and everybody would have been better off.
Rienzo had a nice year for himself. He entered as the season as the Sox's fifth-best prospect, with his ceiling limited by doubts about his ability to stick as a starter. He kept his command in line well enough to remain in a rotation for an entire season. He proved himself worthy of a long look. He gave Brazil its first major-league pitcher. He picked up a couple of wins.
He might not come out of his extended audition with the job, mostly because the competition is formidable, and his peripherals need work:
Tm | W | L | G | GS | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | |
Charlotte | 8 | 6 | 4.06 | 20 | 20 | 113.0 | 105 | 62 | 51 | 7 | 46 | 113 |
Chicago | 2 | 3 | 4.82 | 10 | 10 | 56.0 | 55 | 34 | 30 | 11 | 28 | 38 |
But there's a path to success somewhere in there. His cutter and curve look legit when he locates them, so even if he can't do it for six innings every five days, he'll probably have a nice future in the bullpen. Even his inconsistency is a selling point at this stage in his career, because it means he found ways to bounce back from awful outings. Some rookies don't take lumps well, but he showed resilience. Add it all up, and he didn't close any roads.
The realistic best-case scenario for Rienzo entering the season was a taste of big-league success, so he got what he needed out of 2013. You can say the same thing for the other starters who have thrown their last pitches of the season this month, Hector Santiago (23 starts), John Danks (his health), and even Axelrod (a big-league paycheck for an entire year).
Those aren't necessarily ingredients for team success, but the league's worst group of position players forced the pitchers to fend for themselves for most of their 162 games. Good actors on bad shows usually don't have to endure the indignity for more than a handful of episodes.

« Older Entries |On My Thanksgiving List: Stuart Smalley and Sandy — My Amazing Wife
November 22, 2012 • By Dan Hinmon, Principal
I may be the only person on the planet who places the 1995 movie "Stuart Saves His Family" on a list of top 10 funny movies of all time.
For those of you who are uninitiated, Stuart Smalley was a Saturday Night Live character played by Al Franken. Let's just say Stuart had a confidence problem, so he relied on self-talk to give him a boost, ending each segment with "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it people like me."
The skit was developed into a movie (which generously receives 2½ stars on IMDB) lampooning 12-step programs and affirmations. (more…)

Red bell peppers are so sweet they are perfect accompaniments to sandwiches. Just roast, slice, and add for delicious flavor.
See also green and yellow bell peppers; sweet peppers.
The red bell pepper, in all its glorious color, is more flavorful than its less-ripe green counterpart. It is also more expensive due to an extended time (about two weeks) on the vine to achieve its rich hue.
All varieties of bell peppers are classified as "sweet" and register "zero" on the Scoville heat scale.
While many red bell peppers are of questionable ancestry, most begin in the green stage.
Varieties such as the Giant Szegedi and the Blushing Beauty Hybrid reach an adult size in an off-white shade before turning red.
Red bell peppers are available year-round and prices will fluctuate accordingly. Look for lowest prices in late summer to fall.
The skins should be firm and shiny with no soft spots or blemishes.
Shake each pepper. If you hear a rattling sound (seeds), it may not be good.
As with all bell peppers, store them in your refrigerator's vegetable compartment.
They will keep only a few days. If the skin begins to soften in spots, slice, remove seeds, and freeze. They will last longer in the freezer if blanched first.
Because a red bell pepper is so sweet, it is a wonderful salad ingredient or fresh accompaniment to any dish.
Always remove the seeds and membrane. They are not hot but can be bitter.
Red bell peppers add color to such dishes as:
• Corn
• Salads
• Rice
• Soups
• Pizza
• Pasta
• Equal amounts of orange or yellow bells will deliver the same taste. A green bell pepper will not.
• For a slightly hotter flavor, substitute same amounts of Anaheims or poblanos.
• For recipes that require small quantities, use jarred pimientos instead.
Try one of our favorite red bell pepper recipes:

After being suspended indefinitely by the NHL on Tuesday for inappropriate comments Sean Avery is on his way to New York City for a hearing with commissioner Gary Bettman. Avery is expected to make the trip to New York with Stars co-general manager Brett Hull and will meet with the commissioner at noon et on Thursday.
The comments in question were made on Tuesday morning as the Stars were getting ready to face the Calgary Flames that evening. He made a suggestive reference to Avery's ex-girlfriend, actress Elisha Cuthbert, who is now dating Flames' Dion Phaneuf.
On Wednesday, Avery apologized for his comments.
''I would like to sincerely apologize for my off-colour remarks to the press yesterday from Calgary,'' Avery said in a statement obtained by SportingNews.com. ''I should not have made those comments and I recognize that they were inappropriate. It was a bad attempt to build excitement for the game, but I am now acutely aware of how hurtful my actions were. I caused unnecessary embarrassment to my peers as well as people I have been close with in the past.''
"I apologize for offending the great fans of the NHL, the Commissioner, my teammates, my coaching staff and the Dallas Stars Management and Ownership. As many of you know, I like to mix it up on and off the ice from time to time, but understand that this time I took it too far."
When contacted by TSN, Hull admitted Avery had caused problems for his teammates at a tough time for Dallas.
"I'm worried about how he let his teammates down in a time where half the team is injured and we're short manned and struggling for every point we can get," said Hull.
The Tuesday incident came on the heels of Avery's comments about Flames captain Jarome Iginla. During an interview with ESPN earlier in the season, Avery took some shots at the NHL and Iginla.
"Our commissioner hasn't realized that he needs to probably do a better job of marketing the game and certainly some of the players in it. Nobody cares about Jarome Iginla and guys like that. They're just not exciting enough. They don't bring enough to the game," he said.
The current situation is the latest in a long line of public troubles for Avery.
In last season's playoffs while playing for the New York Rangers, Avery created a stir by standing in front of Devils' goaltender Martin Brodeur and waving his hand. The NHL created a rule to stop it from happening again.
Following the final game of the series with the Devils, Brodeur refused to shake Avery's hand.
"Everyone talks about how much class I don't have," Avery said after the series. "Well it's the end of the series and men go to war against each other. I guess he forgot to shake my hand. I don't know if anyone saw that. Of course I was going to shake his hand."
Some other incidents of note:
2005: Makes comments about French Canadian players who wear visors after being hit by Denis Gauthier. "I think it was typical of most French guys in our league with a visor on, running around and playing tough and not back anything up." Avery would later apologize.
2005: Avery denies saying anything wrong after being accused by Georges Laraque of making a racial slur. The NHL looks into the incident but does not take action due to lack of evidence.
2006: Avery argues with Ducks announcer Brian Hayward. The forward refers to Hayward as an "embarrassment", "(terrible) announcer", and a "(terrible) player".
2006: The Kings send Avery home for last three games of the season.
2007: Avery is fined ($2,500) after a pre-game confrontation with Toronto's Darcy Tucker.
2008: Avery waves hand in front of Martin Brodeur to cause a distraction during Rangrs/Devils playoff series. Brodeur refuses to shake Avery's hand after series. The NHL later invokes a new rule making Avery's tactic illegal.
2008: Avery is taken to hospital with a lacerated spleen during series with Penguins. He is out for the rest of the playoffs.
2008: Serves as an intern with Vogue magazine.
2008: Makes comments to ESPN regarding Jarome Iginla not being exciting enough and what he believed to be failures by the NHL in marketing the game.
2008: Makes comments regarding his ex-girlfriends dating other NHL players and is suspended indefinitely by the league.

This past week at the Telluride Intermediate, Middle and High School prevention specialists from Freedom from Chemical Dependency were visiting the classrooms. The 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th grade students were able to benefit from a four day course focused on the prevention of substance abuse and how to help friends who may be dealing with substance abuse issues.
I would like to thank the Telluride Education Foundation and the Parent Student Teacher Organization) for providing grants to make this possible. This is an extremely valuable program for our kids and without their help it wouldn't be possible. I would also like to thank the Barb and Dick Kearney for providing accommodations for the FCD specialists.
It is extremely important that we continue to pull together as a community to support our children and provide safe, positive events. Thank you again for all the support.
– Sara Kimble
