Another affecting play, Eat Your Heart Out by Courtney Baron, focuses on six interrelated characters, and the various kinds of heartbreak that they suffer. One couple is heartbroken because they can't have children; self-conscious teenager Evie because of her weight; her best friend Collin because his girlfriend will not return his numerous telephone calls; and the character who ties the others together, Nance, who is both Evie's divorced mother and the social worker screening the couple's application to adopt, seems to be juggling multiple heartbreaks, including a tentative effort to date again.
Baron, a New York playwright, has had work included previously in the festival, in one season's "anthology" play (this year, the anthology play was Oh, Gastronomy!) and in the annual program of ten-minute plays. Eat Your Heart Out was her first full-length play in the festival. "This was the best professional experience of my life," she says.
The actress who played the teenager Evie, Sarah Grodsky, definitely thinks the same thing, if only by default: "This was my first job," she explains.

A requirement for acceptance at the Humana Festival is that the play be having its world premiere. The Hour of Feeling by Mona Mansour is something of a prequel to her well-received play of last year at the Public Theater, Urge for Going, about a family living in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. That play focused on the teenager Jamila. This one goes back four decades to tell the story of her parents, Adham and Abir, their courtship, and then their trip to England to deliver a lecture on William Wordsworth (Mansour's play is threaded with the poet's words, both in English and translated into Arabic) on the eve of what turns out to be the Six-Day War.

Lisa Kron indulged in the ultimate consumer revenge fantasy with The Veri**on Play, inspired by an exasperating experience she had over many months with the customer service department. Kron plays the central character who, despite all the helpful-sounding customer service reps, gets nowhere in resolving a bill for $152.64 that she does not owe. She eventually joins a customer service victim support group, and hears horror stories worse than hers (One woman has been trying to convince the company for the past seven years that she is not dead), and then a customer resistance movement, and the customer service comedy morphs into a globe-trotting adventure story and spoof of a noir thriller, concluding with original musical numbers by Jeanine Tesori (Caroline, or Change).
"How many people have ever had a problem with their cell phone provider," her character asks the audience near the end of the 90-minute play. Nearly all at the performance I attended raised their hands.
"How many of you are going to do something about it?"
One hand.
Idris Goodwin's How We Got On, focuses on three suburban kids who aim for stardom as rappers. "That kid is going to be a star; he has the look, a deep voice, and he can act," whispered a New York casting director, pointing out Brian Quijada, who played one of the rappers. The casting director (who later approached the actor) was one of many at the "industry weekend" that compresses the February-April Humana season into three days of plays, panels and parties.

At Humana, casting directors may be looking for performers, or for artistic directors who may engage their services. Producers are looking for plays. Performers meet producers and the press. "There's a huge exchange here of theatrical quality," says Rufus Collins, who auditioned for the Human production of Kotis' play back in Brooklyn.
Collins played Baron Michael von Siebenburg, who lives in a rent-controlled apartment. His nosy landlady wonders why a bevy of young women visit him, but never leave. The reason: He plies them with spiked wine, kills them and eats them. This is how the baron and his medieval pal Sammy have stayed alive over the centuries. But now in the baron's dreams arise an old comrade, Otto, and his own long-dead wife Maria, and he must contend with the changing status of women.
Kotis thinks it ridiculous that vampires traditionally only drink blood. It makes more sense that they eat meat, tenderized, with paprika.
"Who gets to define vampires?" Kotis asks. "Is it Bram Stoker? Is it some kind of Eastern European folklore? Producers of 'True Blood'? If any of them can define them, then I can too."
Kotis was happy with the treatment of his play at the Humana Festival — "it was a big sumptuous production, with steam, flashing lights and thunder! Once you know you can have such toys, you unleash them."
He hopes to take the baron elsewhere. "It's not for lack of trying that I don't write commercial shows. There's a lot of plays circulating around; it's musical chairs with only a few chairs." Humana is one of the high chairs.
The Humana Festival is made possible by The Humana Foundation. Visit actorstheatre.org.

2012 Toyota Rav4 EV Safety Overview & Features
Anti-lock brakes
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate. This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
Stability control
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.
Front-impact airbags
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.
Side impact airbags
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.
Overhead airbags
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.
Anti-whiplash head restraints actively react to rear collision forces and craddle the occupants head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
Security system
The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.

That is the question fellow Cubs fans. I ran across this '90s ornament while putting up the tree with the family this weekend. I'm torn about adding it to the tree. Do I add Sammy to my tree for the "good" he brought us for 10+ years, or for the "bad" we all know about? Help me out. What should I do?
Not doing anything Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night or Sunday afternoon? Tired of seeing the Cubs lose? Come on out to Carl Sandburg High school in Orland Park to see the 1998 Version of Bleacher Bums. [Spoiler Alert] You still will see the Cubs lose, but at least it will be a more enjoyable time than watching the Big League team. Tickets available at the door. Curtain at 7:00 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 3:00 on Sunday. [Full Disclosure - my daughter is part of the tech crew for this production]

During his tenure as head, the department was ranked second among U.S. architecture schools' graduate programs by Design Intelligence magazine.
Under Chang's administration, the MArch and SMVisS programs both underwent a period of expansion –—and with that, an expansion of opportunities made possible by the larger numbers — and the core design curriculum was revised to feature three core studios and three option studios, plus thesis; the various discipline groups were also integrated more fully into the curriculum through the co-teaching of studios.

Posted over 6 years ago Has anyone worked in hospice? I found it's case management to be the embodiment of what true nursing is to be. Looking out for your patient's and his family complete physical and psychosocial well-being in such holistic terms. This healthcare delivery system clearly required all disciplines to work closely together like a well-oiled machine. Together, the hospice team did great things that alone we couldn't have accomplished. |

| Posted over 6 years ago hello, i also work for a great hospice. it is the most rewarding work i have ever done. it's certainly not for everyone, but if you think you'd like to try it go for a non-for -profit hospice, that way it's not all about the bottom line. |

| Posted over 6 years ago Profit and not-for-profit. I found hospice to be a wonderful experience. I loved it, was a case manager for 9 years and found myself pinching myself, "...and you're getting paid to do something you love?" I was able to keep my face somewhat out of office politiics, because I was in the field, and had the opportunity to live, love, teach and learn with my patients as they made their transitions. I found that I called all my nursing skills in to play, learned from and taught CNAs, LCSWs chaplains, volunteers, medical directors and worked so closely with pharmacists. I developed a new respect for all disciplines and truly felt that I'd found the right balance of a team of healthcare professionals all working towards one good, the patient and family unit. teamRN |

| Posted over 6 years ago Go for it Mary. The sacrifices you make financially now will pay off for you and your family later. You can always jump off at the LPN level for awhile, before doing online RN. Online RN tends to fit into the nooks and crannies of your life better than brick and mortar schools. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I want to applaud and thank all the hospice caregivers. My Dad was under hospice care for a few months and in a hospice facility when he died. I honestly had never met such professional, warm, loving, caring, compassionate teams of caregivers. Again, I thank all of you. |

There is lots of room for improvements. Make sure you camp far away from the cabins. That seems to be party central. The security is great at night. No one can get in without going through guard shack or risking tire damage. They need more trees for shade!! The pool is very crowded, too.

Excellent park for young children. Very quiet at night. Camp fires are allowed! We will be back again! And will be singing again on Luke Powers Road after Mid-night. "Salt, Salt, Salt" Love that!

Hotel Max is a bit of sophisticated pleasure with its art-covered walls, small but well-appointed rooms, and its especially youthful, professional, and very helpful staff. You couldn't ask for more for the money — plus it is near so many places you're likely to want to visit.

My wife and I always enjoy the Pensione Nichols B&B on First in the Market. Location and vibe are key ingredients here, as is the hospitality, view and breakfast. Owner Lindsey really knows the city, and always has great recommendations on things to see and do.

I ALWAYS stay at Pensione Nichols bed and breakfast in the Pike Place Market. It's been there for over 18 years and is the best value in Seattle. The location and view can not be matched. It was just featured in Sunset Magazine as one of the top ten hidden hotels in the country. www.pensionenichols.com

Depending on the experience you want, I would recommend the following:
Fairmont Seattle (formerly the Four Seasons) is a classic luxury hotel - in the style of a turn of the century grand hotel. It is located in the heart of downtown.
Hotel Andra - this is a wonderful boutique hotel located slightly north of downtown in Belltown - great wi-fi accessibility and a fun bar at Lola (Tom Douglas's newest place)
I have a blog focusing on Seattle restaurants and events at http://chtriangle.blogspot.com

I've stayed, on business or pleasure, at many of the top hotels in Seattle (and nearby Bellevue). My top recommendation is the Grand Hyatt, in the very center of downtown Seattle. In my opinion, it rates with many of the best hotels of the world (and Ive stayed at such outstanding ones as the Four Seasons in Istanbul, the Park Hyatt in Tokyo, and the Cape Grace in Cape Town - among many others). I would particularly recommend upgrading to the Regency Club at the Grand Hyatt, Seattle.

Any of the downtown larger chain hotels are excellent if you prefer to stay closer to the city. Edgewater is fantastic, either for romance or for solitude. One of my favorite bed-and-breakfasts anywhere is the Hill House in Capitol Hill (althought ownership has changed since my last stay - I hope it's still just as amazing). The Hyatt in downtown Bellevue is top notch if you prefer to stay Eastside.

A local chain with 10 hotels called "Silver Cloud Inns & Hotels." http://www.silvercloud.com/ In Dec 2007, I stayed at the "Silver Cloud Inn - Lake Union". For about $134 a night (plus tax), I had a room with a fireplace and view of the Lake. Room rate included indoor secure parking, wired and wifi internet in my room, a daily breakfast, an indoor pool, shuttle service to the major tourist sites in downtown, and many other amenities. Also free is a Tuesday evening "wine and cheese" reception. The first Tuesday of the month has a special spread with so much food (meat and vegetables too), I didn't need to go out for dinner. You can schmooze with the business crowd (that has uncovered this fantastic deal) or sit by yourself on any number of comfy chairs by a crackling fire and enjoy a view of Lake Union. When you do eat out, several restaurants are in walking distance along the lake. The public bus system has a bus stop across the street. The staff makes you feel so comfortable, you feel like your are staying at the home of a favorite friend. -- Barbara Pickell

The Fairmont Olympic hotel is nice because it's in the downtown area so close to the Space Needle and other attractions, but it is also a five star hotel with a couple of award winning restaurants. Despite all that it remains relatively good value (compared to hotels of this standard in most other cities) http://www.seattlehotels.com/fairmont-olympic-hotel.htm

The Edgewater has an incredible past hosting many great musical legends- including The Beatles which was a fun surprise to learn that the Beatles actually fished from their room there. Since the hotel was built on an actual pier it has amazing views of the Elliot Bay and Olympic Mountains and also offers outdoor dining which is unique to the area. It is also close to Pikes Place and downtown Seattle which was very convenient after a long day of exploring. Their signature restaurant, Six Seven, was fantastic as well.

we visit Seattle every year and tried the Hotel Max. The rooms were so small and clostrophobic. We convinced them to switch us but the next room that was larger (but not standard hotel size) . Our favorites are the Mayflower and the Grand Hyatt.

I just returned from a business trip to Seattle and stayed at the Hotel Vintage Park. It is part of the Kimpton family of hotels and was fabulous. Washington State wine tasting every evening and a great restaurant on site. The staff was exceptional: friendly, accommodating and professional. I'd stay there again for next visit to Seattle for sure.

For the quintessential Seattle experience, The Edgewater Hotel is a must see. With a unique mix of nature, industry and rock 'n roll, it gives the city a boutique hotel that is world class. Being directly over the water to watch the ferries and boats go by is icing on the cake.

Poor Mickey Kaus. He's the liberal intellectual (not an oxymoron -- he's the last known living "liberal intellectual") lefties on TV are usually stealing from, but now that this welfare reform maven has concluded that Romney's welfare ad is basically correct, liberals refuse to acknowledge his existence.RELATED: Outgoing Public Editor: Progressivism 'Bleeds Through the Fabric of the New York Times'
The non-Fox media have formed a solid front in denouncing Romney's welfare ad for daring to point out that Obama has gutted the work requirements of the 1996 welfare reform bill.
The New York Times claims that Romney's ad "falsely" charges Obama with eliminating work requirements. CNN rates the ad "false." Underemployed hack Howard Fineman says Romney's ad "is just flat out wrong on the facts" and "that every fair analyst, every fact checker" has said it's "just factually wrong."
When a campaign ad induces this much hysteria, you know Romney has struck gold. On closer examination, it turns out that by "every fair analyst," Fineman means a bunch of liberals quoting one another.
This is how the media's "fact checkers" operate when it comes to a Republican campaign ad. One not very well-informed person (or a heavily biased person) announces that Romney's welfare ad is false, and the rest of the herd quote him, without anyone ever bothering to examine the facts, much less citing anyone who knows what he's talking about.
It is striking that everyone who actually knows something about the 1996 welfare reform law says that Romney's ad is accurate.
One of the principal authors of the 1996 welfare reform, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation, and Douglas Besharov, who advised Hillary Clinton on the 1996 welfare reform law, say Romney's ad is accurate.
Andrew Grossman, also of Heritage, produced something the MSM "fact checkers" avoid: a specific and detailed explanation of how the new waivers will allow states to evade the work requirements.

TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees
The San Francisco Giants have reached agreement with free-agent second baseman Marco Scutaro on a three-year, $20 million deal, pending a physical.
With the deal, the Giants have retained their Nos. 1 and 2 hitters in Angel Pagan and Scutaro.
The Giants re-signed Pagan on Monday for $40 million over four years.
Earlier Tuesday, the St. Louis Cardinals emerged as a surprise player in the Scutaro sweepstakes, according to major-league sources, and the New York Yankees were another club with likely interest.
Scutaro, 37, batted .362 with an .859 OPS in 61 games for the Giants after arriving in a July 31 trade from the Colorado Rockies. He later helped lead the team to its second World Series title in three years, and was named MVP of the National League Championship Series.

Devils Win and Parise snapped his 12 game goal drought. That's all that you need to know right now. Full recap coming later!!
no comments
The Devils put together a complete 60 minute effort and Marty walks away with a record setting 104th shutout of his career. The Devils have owned the Igloo this season and I for one will be sad to see it go, if we don't make a few trips there this spring.
Marty stopped all 35 saves including 8 shots made during power plays and had the post help him out very late in the game but unlike the game in Buffalo, Marty actually have to make some pretty good saves against the Penguins.
The Pens and the Devils were both pretty hot coming into this game and it wouldn't be fair to say the Penguins didn't bring that to the game because I thought the did, I just thought this was a case of Marty being better. Both the Penguins and the Devils spent the night going hard after loose pucks. For a few minutes in the second, the Penguins kind of fell into a funk and paid for it with the Devils scoring 2.
The Pandolfo / Nierdermayer line did a wonderful job putting a stop to the Pens top line and probably even better on the Penalty Kill. McAmmond is still playing at a level I never thought he was capable of.
The Devils as a team shined bright tonight but nothing shines brighter than Marty Brodeur. There isn't much left in the record books for Marty to put his name next to. Shutouts are difficult to achieve because it takes and individual effort as well as a team effrot at times but to be sitting alone atop the list with a 104 of them is truly incredible. It doesn't matter to me what other people think of say but Marty is truly the greatest goalie anyone of us has ever laid eyes on. He's broken record after record, been a huge assett to his team and made the NHL change the game while he was playing with it. I ask you, name 1 other goalie in the league now that can even come close to Martin Brodeur.
This is one of those game where at the end of it, I sit there, scratching my head and saying WHAT!!?? This was a very sloppy game on the part of the Devils. The power play was disgusting all night. The Devils did a terrible job at covering the points and keeping the puck in the zone during the power plays. The Devils had 5 chances on the power play, one being cut short due to a hooking call on Nidermayer and I think 3 shots total found their way to the net. To make matters worse, the Devils gave up a shorthanded goal due to an absolute breakdown by Langenbrunner. I'm not sure what he was doing but I expect more from a guy wearing a "C".
Montreal tried their best to give this game to NJ, which they eventually did. The obviously were set on playing a trapping game and were very poor at doing so. The Canadiens gave NJ too many chances on the power play, although as I mentioned, the Devils did nothing with those chances.
Pikkarainen did manage to tie the game at 1 on a very flukey goal that went off Price's glove (which I think the puck would have sailed over the net anyway), off the post, off the skate of Price and into the net. I thought McAmmond did an awesome job staying onsides during the play because he appeared way ahead of the puck but did a nice toe drag to stay onsides.
It appeared to me that neither team really wanted to win this game but with a few minutes left in the third, the Canadiens made a costly mistake. Rolston carried the puck into the zone and Tomas Plekanec made an attempt to swipe the puck away which allowed Elias to get behind him and bang home Rolston's rebound.
It's not to often that you can put in a lackluster performance and skate away with 2 points. I hope Lemaire kicks some butt in practice this week and a much more energized team shows up tomorrow night against the Senators.
I will agree with the decision on the 3 stars of the game although Pikkarainen's goal was so lucky, I'm not sure star #2 doesn't belong to Rolston for his heads up play seeing that Elias was going to make a play on any rebound and shot it low on purpose.
no commentsSo the question being asked immediatley after the game is did the Devils looked past the Panthers to tomorrow nights game with the Flyers. I really don't think so. Sure, the Devils weren't as crisp tonight as they have been and once the Panthers got the lead, I am sure they started to believe in themselves a little more. It's tough to lose games when you outshoot your opponent as the Devils did tonight (28-22).
Frolik was a Devils killer tonight ans Weiss always seems to be a thorn in the side. The thing that worries me is that the Devils looked great on Monday night, so-so on Wednesday night and not so good tonight. It's been a steady decline, especially that second period of tonight's game. The killer was the breakaway goal for Florida in the 3rd which I am still not even sure how he ended up with so much room. The Devils had gotten a lucky goal prior to the breakaway and had everyone thinking comeback but that just took the air out of the team.
Clemmenson did a decent job tonight and I sure was real comfortable playing in our building, which used to be his building. To me, the Panthers wanted it more and deservingly got it. Hopefully the Devils find that hunger quickly because the Flyers are coming into town tomorrow night and they've pretty much embarrassed twice this season.
no comments
I guess I am turning into one of those fans that expects too much out of his team. The Devils spoiled me on Monday with the clinic that they put on against the Sabres but they came out in the first period looking like they might do it against the Hurricanes too. I thought that the Devils were firing on all cylinders and thought they might put the game away in the second. They looked so good in my opinion, that I was starting to wonder to myself if playing like this in Decemeber was actually a bad thing. Maybe they heard me because Carolina would quickly be back in the game.
Aaron Ward got way too deep covering Bergfors that he didn't give Cam Ward much of a chance on the Elias goal. It was a flukey kind of goal but what fan wouldn't take it? Andy Greene's first of the night was a thing of pure beauty as his team, especially Niedermayer, really helped him out and got great positioning on Cam Ward. Greene knew to hold on to it just long enough for that shooting lane to the top corner open up and fired it in.
The Devils came out in the second looking like they might continue to take it to the Canes as Greene got real low and put in his second of the night. From there, the Devils seemed to slow down. The Canes got on the board with a lucky goal that went of Fraser and beat Marty and then got within one goal on a nice shot by Rutuu. The Devils were able to hold off the Canes as both Marty and Cam Ward came up with some pretty big saves. Niedermayer sealed the deal with an empty net goal at the end of the 3rd.
I don't think the Devils looked past the Canes and I don't think the Canes played like a team that is the owner of the worst record in the league. Cam Ward looked pretty good for a guy who's missed a lot of time. In the end I didn't have a great feeling about this game. Like the Tampa Bay game and the Detroit game last weekend, I felt the Devils survived. Anytime you get up 3-0 and allow the other team back to get within 1 goal, you can't walk away feeling too happy about the performance but a win is a win and each time they win, they get the "Winner" stamp of approval (stealing one of my favorite lines..)
Panthers stroll into town tomorrow night followed by the Flyers on Satruday so the Devils have a busy couple of days ahead.

I couldn't have asked for anything more from the New Jersey Devils last night. Congratulations to Marty Brodeur for tying the legendary Terru Sawchuk for career shutouts but we will get to that. First, some thoughts about the game.
The Devils put on a clinic last night. You want to know how to win hockey games, look at last nights performance and that is how you win hockey games. They were able to sustain consistent pressure, rolled all for lines quickly and effectively. Shift after shift they just took it to the Sabres and from the word go, they put their foot on the gas and didn't stop until the final horn sounded.
From the Sabres perspective, I think they have to be thankful that they didn't get blown out of the building. Ryan Miller did a good job keeping the Sabres in the game as it could have easily got out of hand quickly in the second period.
It's a rare thing when I feel I can go through the stat sheet and feel that everyone had a good game. Parise had 7 shots and an assist, Zajac had 4 shots and a goal, Rolston scored his 10th of the season, Elias did a decent job on the faceoff and the list just goes on and on. When the team plays this well, you can overlook the few things the Devils did wrong, like the penalty Rolston took while the Devils were up a man. Overall, this might be the most satisfying feeling about the Devils I've had this season because I fel Buffalo is a very deep and talented team and the Devils just took it to them.
Marty didn't have to do anything special in net tonight. There were no huge, momentum swinging saves or highlight reel kind of saves but he did the little things perfectly. He controlled the rebounds to places where his teammates could clear or move the puck up ice and he was solid with his stick and his positioning all night. Early in the second when the Devils were taking it to the Sabres and Buffalo was having a hard time getting shots on net, I thought that maybe this was the night he would tie the record. After the game, I sat on my couch and wonder how people view Marty as anything but what he is, the greatest goalie of our lives. We may never see a player achieve the things that he is doing ever again. 4 Vezinas, 3 Cups, well over 552 wins, as of right now 103 shutouts, the most minutes every played by a goalie in the history of the league, I ask those Marty haters out there, what more do you expect? What more will it take to admit how great he is? I'll admit, I get down on Marty sometimes because he makes mistakes out there but I will also be the first to admit that we will see few players like him in our lives. Congratulations Marty on tying a record few people ever saw as a breakable record.
Now I am going to get on my soapbox for a minute (no the Marty rant wasn't a soapbox kind of moment). Directv, Comcast and the NHL need to work something out. I'm not a Directv subscriber but many people did not get the game last night because it was televised on Versus and as many of you know, Directv doesn't not carry Versus because of a disagreement with Comcast (who owns Versus) over cost. It's sad for me to think of Devils fans out there (or Hockey fans in general) who don't get to witness record tying or record breaking moments because there are companies out there who can find a solutions that offers their viewers the oppurtunities to see these moments. The NHL has done a terrible job handling this and I really hope that Betteman takes his head out of his ass soon and helps Directv and Comcast rectify this situation.
no commentsThe Devils lose but get a point out of the trip to music city. One of these days I will get around to writing a piece about how much I hate the shootout and why it should just go away.
I actually thought the Devils and the Predators played a pretty even game. Both teams would get some momentum going, make some decent passes and setup some nice scoring chances and watch the other team regroup and do the same. There were moments of back and forth play and moments were both Marty and Pekka Rinne had to come up with big saves.
The Predators came out fore-checking and it led to Arnott scoring the first goal of the night, which in my opinion wasn't a strong goal. Give the Devils credit, they fought right back, got some decent chances on the powerplay which then led to Colin White throwing a puck at the net after the penalty time to Nashville had expired. Colin was credited with the goal for quite a while but Doc and Chico kept telling us how they thought eventually it would be credited to Parise because he came across the middle and tipped it with the edge of his blade. Arnott would then score again in the third on a nice redirection that he timed perfectly (and got a little help from the post). The Devils would fight back again quickly as Dean McAmmond made a nice pass in front that Zach Parise shoveled in for his second of the night. This game would eventually be decided in the shootout that saw Michael Santorelli and Martin Erat beat Martin Brodeur. Travis Zajac scored the only goal in the shootout for the Devils and it was extremely fortunate to go in.
I thought the Devils shot the puck a lot better than they did on Monday night. Maybe the credit belongs to Philly still for being extremely effective shot blockers but Nashville only managed 11 blocked shots and allowed 28 to get through. Speaking of shot blocking, Dainius Zubrus left the game in the second after blocking a shot from the point with his leg and immediately fell to the ice. With Zubrus out of the game, Nashville was much better at winning face-offs. Zubrus will not make the trip to Dallas but instead come back to NJ and get his leg evaluated on Friday. I thought Tyler Eckford played a very good game for his first in the NHL and I certainly hope this kid stays in the lineup for the time being.
All in all I am happy to get the point. The Devils didn't lose the game in the 65 minutes that count in my mind and they played a very evenly matched team. Shot selections in the shootout could probably have been better but as I said in the beginning of this post, I don't like the shootout so I can't fault NJ for it. The Devils head to Dallas tomorrow night and we will try to do our first live blogging event of the game right here tomorrow night.
My Three Stars:
#1 - Jason Arnott (2 Goals)
#2 - Zach Parise (2 Goals)
#3 - Joel Ward (6 shots)
In case you missed the game, here's the video recap:
no comments
The Devils lose, lets get over it. Actually, it's kind of a relief because now the talk about records can stop and the Devils can focus on the things they are doing wrong, which even though they are 8-2-0 in the last 10, they are doing some things wrong..especially last night!! I am bummed about the way they played and how they lost though. It would be one thing if NJ played a flawless game and still managed to lose but NJ played a sloppy game last night and lost.
I don't think the Devils brought their A game with them to Philadelphia. I thought the defense was terrible and for some reason, kept allowing the Flyers offense to get in deep and even behind them at times, creating too many chances for a team with that much talent. The Devils gave up 35 shots and just too many scoring chances. I have to give a partial hats off to Marty Brodeur because he did keep the Devils in the game for a while, but like I said it is a partial hats off and I will get to that.
Philadelphia did an amazing job at blocking shots and I don't know if that deserves a pat on the back or is that rests on the Devils shooters to find better ways of getting the puck to the net. The Devils manages to get 35 shots on goal but took 73 shots and watched the Flyers block 26 of them. The Devils went nearly 12 minutes in the third period without getting a single shot on goal.
Now, back to Marty for a minute. There are moments when I think he is absolutely brilliant and then there are moments where he frustrates the crap out of me. The third goal he let in last night was one of those moments. That pucked belonged to Bryce Salvador and I think he was going to make the play and clear the puck but Marty jumped in front and poke-checked it right to James Van Riemsdyk, and in the process put himself out of position and saw Riemsdyk fire it right past him. I don't know what Marty saw but he should have let his defense do their job. The hard thing about that goal is that Parise scored with less than a second left would have been the equalizer if Marty didn't make that mistake.
The Devils stay on the road and head to Nashville on Thursday and Dallas on Saturday which are games that they can win, erase the memory of a bad game in Philly and keep having people think of the Devils as a strong team and not just a flash in the pan. As for the Flyers, they seem to have our number so far this season but we do face them 4 more times this season and will have plenty of oppurtunites to change our luck against them.
no commentsThe unbelievable roll that the Devils are on when away from their home state of NJ continues to roll. The Devils made another visit to the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins and once again, rolled out of Pittsburgh with another 4-1 victory.
The Penguins got the scoring started with a goal that Marty thought should have been overturned. On the replay it looked as if Fedotenko had a little intereference with Marty during the goal but you had to see this on the replay. In real-time, it just looked like he was banging away at the puck.
Bergfors had a nice goal to even the game in the second period and Andy Greene had a nice shot to give the Devils the lead. I was pretty sure Greene's goal was redirected but it was Parise's goal that was the back breaker. If you turn the puck over in the neutral zone and it ends up on Zajac's stick with Parise rushing up with him, I am putting my money on the Devils scoring.
The Devils are playing well and doing so without some key members but we have to remember the calendar only reads Novermber 12th. It was mentioned the other night during the Ducks game that Scott Niedermayer leaving the Ducks was a possibility, especially if the Ducks continue to live at the bottom of the division. Way too early for this conversation to be taking place. Right now, his services aren't neede but that doesn't mean that can't change in a hurry. Go back and read this article (http://runningwiththedevils.com/2009-articles/october/10-bold-predictions.html) and you will see #10 is already coming true.
Devils come home tomorrow to host the Washington Capitals.

You will find a short description and a link to the full text of the document on the ARLIS/NA Online Publications page. Congratulations and thank you to the authors! AASL 2007 Meeting in Philadelphia The Association of Architecture School Librarians (AASL) met March 8-10 in Philadelphia, PA, while the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) concurrently held their annual conference. AASL meeting attendees (among them many Architecture Section members) attended informative sessions including "Instruction in Support of Architecture Programs," "Architectural Archives and Special Collections," and "Building Collaborative Digital Collections." Attendees also found many opportunities to meet new friends and network with colleagues from libraries near and far. In addition to tours of the Fisher Fine Arts Library and the University of Pennsylvania Architectural Archives, the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, and the Carpenter's Company Library, attendees appreciated the chance to experience the meeting rooms and accommodations in the conference hotel in Philadelphia's sleek, jazz-age skyscraper, the PSFS Building by Howe and Lescaze (1929-1932). Martin Aurand, (Carnegie Mellon University), planned the AASL meetings and events in his role as AASL vice-president/president-elect and successfully instilled his affection for Philadelphia in the assembled AASL members.

50th Anniversary of the Birth Control Pill
The Population Council celebrates five decades of American women's access to the birth control pill. The Council continues to work toward improving reproductive health for all through research and testing of an array of reversible contraceptive methods for both men and women.
Before 1960, contraceptive options for American women consisted of periodic abstinence, condoms, diaphragms, and withdrawal. This method mix had remained unchanged for more than a century until the first birth control pill, Enovid, reached the American market in 1960. The birth control pill became the dominant family planning method used by American couples within a decade of its introduction. The oral pill is still the most popular contraceptive method for women under age 30 in this country.
Enovid offered women the opportunity to safely and easily control their fertility with few side effects. However, in 1977, Council research identified the contribution of the combined use of cigarettes and birth control pills to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and death among women, particularly those 40 years and older. Dissemination of these results led to changes in the policies around prescribing the pill, thus lowering women's overall health risks. Today all labels on pills and other hormonal contraceptives contain warnings in boldface type about the risks of prescribing these products to women who smoke and are over the age of 35. In the years since Enovid was introduced, additional advances in scientific knowledge have resulted in subsequent generations of products that are even safer and more easily tolerated.
Recognizing that women need a choice of contraceptive methods based on their age, lifestyle, sexual activity, desire to space or limit childbearing, and other factors, the Population Council has developed and licensed some of the most widely used long-acting, reversible contraceptives in the world. Millions of women worldwide rely on Population Council–developed products for family planning, including three models of copper-bearing intrauterine devices, including the Copper T 380, commonly known as ParaGard®; Mirena®, a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system; Jadelle®, a two-rod levonorgestrel implant; and Norplant® implants.
However, fifty years after the FDA's landmark approval of birth control pills and with more contraceptive options available for women, nearly fifty percent of pregnancies in the United States still are unintended. A lack of concurrence between the kinds of contraceptive methods that meet consumers' needs and the products available contributes to this wide gap between desire to use a method and its actual use.
In addition to developing new contraceptive methods, including a contraceptive vaginal ring that can be used for one year, Council researchers are investigating compounds that provide health benefits beyond planning pregnancy. The Council is conducting research on selective hormone receptors (e.g., ulipristal) that could make contraceptive delivery systems safer and more effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy and contribute to breast health by arresting the potential emergence of tumor cells. Other Population Council contraceptive development initiatives include:
For men
- Adjudin. The Council is conducting basic research that may pave the way for a nonhormonal contraceptive for men. Studies have indicated that Adjudin may induce reversible infertility without interfering with hormones. Researchers are exploring a nasal spray, gel, implant, and patch as possible drug-delivery options.
- MENT®. Preliminary studies in which men wear an implant containing this synthetic steroid for one year have shown promising results in inhibiting sperm production. Other possible MENT presentations may include a gel and a patch.
For women
- One-year contraceptive vaginal ring. This version of the ring is re-usable for 13 cycles. The new ring remains in the vagina for three weeks per menstrual cycle, is removed for one week, and can be re-inserted for up to 12 additional cycles before it must be replaced. Users of the currently available contraceptive vaginal ring product utilize 13 rings per year.
- Contraceptive gel. This clear, fast-drying, easy-to-use gel containing effective hormonal contraception can be absorbed through the skin of a woman's abdomen. Other possible delivery systems for hormonal contraception may include a transdermal spray.

It had been three months since those who chronicle the Broncos' exploits had seen Tony Scheffler walk into a room, and I, for one, was not expecting such an imposing figure to stroll through the door leading to the media room where he held a media briefing on Thursday afternoon.
Scheffler's words would only confirm what his mere presence demonstrated — that he'd bulked up in the past three months, gaining an average of 10 pounds a month and going from a 235-pound rookie to a 265-pound beast through a simple regimen.
"A lot of eating," Scheffler admitted. "Not too much running, just a lot of lifting and eating. In the summer I always trim down."
Scheffler expects that he'll drop between five and 10 pounds from his current weight; such loss will be a simple byproduct of on-field work in organized team activities and his four conditioning sessions per week. For now, though, his movement isn't where he wants it to be.
"Right now I'm not as smooth in and out of my cuts as I was at 235 (pounds), but I think as the summer goes on, I'll trim up," he said."
Scheffler also noted that his weight gain wasn't by coaches' edict; rather, it stemmed from a desire to play more than just on obvious passing downs.
"Hopefully I'll maintain my speed, but at the same time I can get better in the run game so I can be out there every down. That's my ultimate goal as a player in the NFL — to help this team every down.
"I don't want to (just) go in on third down," he added. "I want to take my career to the next level and help this team every down. Putting on the weight was my own decision. I need to maintain my speed and everything I had before."
And at any size, he feels he'll still see plenty of action on the field, even with prominent free-agent signee Daniel Graham among the cornucopia of players at his position.
"We obviously have a lot of weapons at tight end, so that's something that's naturally going to take place," Scheffler said. "I'm sure there'll be some two-tight end sets down the road."
