From its North Lauderdale and Davie locations, Galaxy Skateway launches visitors into a vortex of nifty moves, groovy tunes, and wholesome family fun. Throughout the week, both venues crank up energy levels with special events. On Fridays and Saturdays, doors remain open later into the evening, and on Flashback Thursdays, music from the 1970s and 80s helps skaters explore the past without having to spin super fast to induce time travel. But no matter the day or decade, Galaxy always surrounds its guests with an impressive lineup of amenities, including a full-service snack bar, video game areas, a pro shop, and a full fleet of regular and in-line skates, available for rental.
The tropical murals around Pines Ice Arena's expansive indoor rink look down on skaters careening across the ice or using expressive figure skating to re-enact favorite scenes from 12 Angry Men. Lauded as one of the area's best places for ice skating by CBS Miami, the arena hosts public-skating sessions open to all ability levels seven days a week. Accredited PSA and ISI instructors lead hockey and figure-skating lessons for all ages and experience levels, while youth and adult hockey teams regularly clash on the frosty terrain. Arcade games and a concession stand offer visitors respite from icy exercise, and birthday-party packages equip guests with food, decorations, and a private room.
As the official practice grounds for the NHL's Florida Panthers, the professional-grade rinks of the Florida Panthers IceDen invite skaters of all stripes to enjoy its pristine skating surfaces. Visitors circle the rink during open-skating sessions, decked out in a pair of the center's maintained skates. For those game to improve their gliding, kids and adults alike can participate in hockey leagues and open hockey sessions, or master the languid movements of competitive figure skating. Classes in hockey, figure skating, and curling introduce students to the skills of puck control, elegant footwork, and furious floor sweeping. An onsite pro shop, meanwhile, dispenses equipment, repairs, and skate fittings.
A frigid oasis amid Pompano Beach's tropical heat, Glacier Ice and Snow Arena hosts everything from public ice-skating to snowball competitions within its 40,000-square foot facility. Throughout the week, skaters of all ages share the arena with programs such as the Sharpshooters Hockey Club, birthday parties, and weekly lessons. A fully stocked pro shop proffers equipment for various styles and sizes, and a snack bar keeps visitors energized with soda, pizza, and popcorn, at least until the ice fishermen manage to reel anything in from their hole in the center of the rink.
Though roller skating may be symbolic of life in the '50s, the staff at Super Wheels Skating Center has incorporated the tunes, TVs, and technology of today to bring this American pastime in to the 21st century. DJs spin a choice of more than 400,000 songs through the rink's digital sound equipment, serenading guests as they show off their moves and finally embrace their wheel transplant. In order to offer more than just skating, the staff created a super arcade filled with interactive games and sprinkled the facility with 20 high-definition TVs and five giant screens that broadcast entertainment as well as live texts from guests and overprotective mothers.
Outside of open-skate hours, the rink puts on a range of events, including private parties, beginning and pro skating lessons, and special times for skaters 11 and younger. The facility's concession stand offers food for all ages, including futuristic Dippin' Dots, fried appetizers, Latin pastries, and pitchers of O'Doul's.
Inside the massive Kendall Ice Arena, skaters from across the blade-running spectrum hone their skills in programs for hockey players, figure skaters, and beginners just finding their ice legs. Students can start out in the arena's US Figure Skating Basic Skills Program, which helps novices develop a foundation strong enough to support Olympic dreams or applications for Antarctic citizenship. The curriculum then branches off into special classes, including offerings for hockey, figure skaters, and synchronized pairs. When class is out of session, the rink slings open its doors to the public, filling up with families, first dates, and other glide-enthusiasts.

Hi nintendo/wii,
We recently bought a nintendo wii and we are happy with it. The gameplay is amazing and the graphics and stuff are ok. Theres just one little thing thats a bit annoying.... Xbox 360 and Ps3 are getting all the new grand theft auto's and all the new games for boys (mature)... Madworld was pretty good, and so are the resident evil's and house of the dead. But i was just wondering, will wii bring out any games like grand theft auto, saints row, bioshock, f.e.a.r, 50 cent, fallout 3, mirrors edge etc. all the new titles that everyone is talking about...Or at least something similar
Im not saying wii is old fashion, i love it, just needs more big titles that everyone is talking about, i hope i dont sound to demanding
Ive been doing some research and a lot of people have being saying that GTA IV will be coming out on wii, since theres already a gta on ds.... That's be awesome
Anyways thanks for listening

Entertainment Weekly's upcoming edition (on newsstands June 28) is being trumpeted as their first All-Time Greatest issue. This means lists galore. The sneak peek they've sent along, which includes their Top 5 films, TV shows, albums, novels and plays, is solid enough but adds nothing new to the firmament. We all love "Citizen Kane" and "The Wire" -- do we need another list saying so?
Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo," which was crowned last year by Sight and Sound as the all-time greatest film, doesn't make EW's top five, though "Psycho" does.
Here's the 25 selections over five categories:
All-Time Greatest Movies:
1. Citizen Kane -- Directed by Orson Welles, 1941, PG. Telling the story of a newspaper tycoon based on William Randolph Hearst, the 25-year-old genius Orson Welles poured his own swaggering, larger-than-life soul into a tragic and exuberant American saga of journalism, power, celebrity, idealism, betrayal, and lost love.
2. The Godfather -- Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, 1972, R. Coppola's tale of crime and family is the most mythic cinematic landmark of the past half century. It heightens Mafia violence into a metaphor for American corporate ruthlessness, presenting Marlon Brando's Don Corleone as the grandest of movie criminals—a monster we revere for his courtly loyalty.
3. Casablanca -- Directed by Michael Curtiz, 1942, PG. WWII movie perfection. Hollywood's most celebrated love story was made as just an average studio pic but now exemplifies old-movie magic. Story, lighting, music, craftsmanship, and every glance between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman resonate with a magnificence that even the brashest studio mogul couldn't have predicted.
4. Bonnie and Clyde -- Directed by Arthur Penn, 1967, R. A touchstone of screen violence, the exhilarating account of '30s bank robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker kicked open the door to the cinematic freedom of the post-studio-system era.
5. Psycho -- Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, 1960, R. The granddaddy of all slasher films (as well as the most profound horror movie ever made), Hitchcock's famous thriller takes the revolutionary step of killing off its heroine (Janet Leigh) halfway through, all as a way of placing the audience in the mind of a madman (Anthony Perkins).
All-Time Greatest TV Shows:

"Long before Oprah praised the novel, Dostoevsky, Faulkner, and Nabokov knelt before it in awe. We do too." this has to be the worst writing I've come across in a long time. really? they have to mention in their little summary that Tolstoy's work was in Oprah's Book Club? i had no idea she was a premier literary critic. who is writing this drivel!?
john obrien | June 28, 2013 2:02 AM
oh right! all american films.bonnie and clyde?!good choice ...way ahead of anything bergman.tarkovsky,kurosawa,rossellini,polanski,etc. etc.etc. could ever hope to make.
DChute | June 28, 2013 1:03 AM
No Shakespeare? No Dickens? No Renoir or Kurosawa? No "Twin Peaks" or "24"?
There must have been some constraints placed on the selection process that you've neglected to mention.
jg | June 27, 2013 9:43 PM
I got some lists for ya: Best Political, Sci Fi, War, WTF and Comedy lists.
pol | June 27, 2013 9:25 PM
Mostly blah. If a film doesn't affect you, it's hard to stomach calling it the "greatest" anything.
It's all subjective anyway, and some of this resembles the dying shrieks of dinosaurs. (Or those dressed up in dino costumes and howling along).
Anne Thompson | June 27, 2013 3:55 PM
we all know lists, races, numbers of things learned etc. drive online traffic, but this seems a desperate measure on a print magazine cover. Wonder how it will do on the newsstand.
Brian | June 27, 2013 3:39 PM
In what universe do any of these lists make sense? Oh, right, the EW universe. Which is why, after 20-odd years as a subscriber, I refused to renew my subscription when it expired this year. Yet they keep sending me issues.
tyler4all | June 27, 2013 2:45 PM
this idea, that its ok to rank art, is ridiculous. does anyone really buy into this? these are just opinions...why dont they just publish the same lists without rankings? can anyone really prove that Tolstoy was a better writer than Fitzgerald? no, you can't. this is laughably bad.

Everest Base Camp & Kala Pattar
The classic trek through Sherpa villages to the base of Mount Everest and Kala Pattar
The classic trek through Sherpa villages to the base of Mount Everest and Kala Pattar
Formerly the residence of the Malla kings, the section of the palace surrounding Keshav Narayan Chowk now houses one of the finest collections of religious art in Asia.
Spectacular traverse from Gokyo Lakes to Kala Pattar affording incredible views of Mount Everest
This bright, buzzy and popular Israeli-run vegetarian restaurant is our favourite for fresh and light Middle Eastern dishes. The menu spreads to crêpes, soups, zucchini pie, coconut tofu and ziva (pastry fingers filled with cheese), as well as a great meze sampler of hummus, felafel and labane (sour cream cheese) served in neat little brass bowls.
The inner palace complex of the Hanuman Dhoka was originally founded during the Licchavi period (4th to 8th centuries AD) but, as it stands today, most of it was constructed by King Pratap Malla in the 17th century. The royal palace has been renovated many times over the years.
The great stupa is surrounded on all sides by a veritable sculpture garden of religious monuments. At the rear of the stupa, next to a small, poorly lit museum of Buddhist statuary, is the Kargyud-school Dongak Chöling gompa , set above a brick path .
This unique Buddhist monastery is just north of Durbar Sq. It was allegedly founded in the 12th century, and it has existed in its current location since 1409.
Around 800m south of Swayambhunath at Chhauni, the walled compound here looks a little moth-eaten and overgrown, but there are some interesting treasures on display and the museum is never crowded As you enter the compound, turn left to reach the Judda Art Gallery , which contains some exquisite stone, metal and terracotta statues of Nepali deities and fabulous paubha cloth .
The first stupa at Bodhnath was built sometime after AD 600, when the Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo, converted to Buddhism. According to legend, the king constructed the stupa as an act of penance after unwittingly killing his father.
From the entrance gate of the Hanuman Dhoka you immediately enter its most famous chowk. Although the courtyard was constructed in the Malla period, many of the buildings around the square are later Rana constructions. During that time Nasal Chowk was used for coronations, a practice that continued until as recently as 2001 with the crowning of King Gyanendra.
Southwest of Asan Tole at the junction known as Kel Tole, this temple attracts both Buddhists and Hindus – Buddhists consider Seto (White) Machhendranath to be a form of Avalokiteshvara, while to Hindus he is a rain-bringing incarnation of Shiva. The temple's age is not known but it was restored during the 17th century.
The long, rectangular courtyard of the Itum Bahal (Buddhist monastery courtyard)is the largest bahal in the old town and remains a haven of tranquillity in the chaotic surroundings. A small, white-painted stupa stands in the centre of the courtyard.

Did you give up chocolate for Lent? (Seriously, I don't understand how you could do it, how you could survive it.)
Have you been jonesing for some ooey, gooey, rich chocolate for the last several weeks?
Do you like your brownies kinda fudgy? Rich? Brownies that seem like they might be raw or ones that are liqidy in the centers?
(No? Not sure about our friendship. If you tell me you don't like peanut butter either I may just cry.)
If you answered yes to any of these questions, than these Brownie Mud Hen Bars are for you.
I first was introduced to Mud Hen Bars back before Christmas, when Kay shared them on a Crazy Sweet Tuesday post. I new immediately I would make them some day.
Fast forward to last week. I needed a gift for my neighbors and I wanted to make something new.
I wanted chocolate and I wanted brownies and I wanted them yesterday. (Yes, I know. I was making them for other people. But I have to taste what I give, right?)
It's brownies topped with chocolate chips, pecans, and a brown sugar meringue. The brownies cook but stay ooey-gooey in the center. The meringue gives a sweet crunch to the top.
These are, in a word, sinful. Delightful. Wonderful. A whole bunch of -fuls.
They are good room temperature.
But if you heat them for 10-15 seconds in the microwave?
There. Are. No. Words.
Except "goddammit I gave them all to the neighbors!"
Adapted from Cooking with K.
- 1 pouch (10.25 ounce size) brownie mix for an 8x8 inch pan, plus ingredients called for on the pouch (or you can use your favorite recipe)
- 1/3 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 egg whites
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8x8" pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Mix brownies according to package directions. Spread in pan. Top with chocolate chips and pecans.
- Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold in the brown sugar and spread evenly over the brownie layer.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it with a layer of parchment paper. Let cool completely before cutting. (Chill in the refrigerator for quicker cooling.) Peel away the foil carefully before cutting. **Be sure to spray your knife with cooking spray before cutting. After each cut wipe away excess and spray the knife again.**
Warm for a few seconds in the microwave for a gooey treat!

For the past year, Microsoft's share of the U.S. smartphone market has been falling like a rock, but in the past three months, it's stabilized. That's a notable achievement, in no small part because the market itself has grown so much, rising 2 to 3 percent per month.
To understand comScore's numbers, you have to take into consideration just what they're measuring. Every month, comScore publishes three-month moving averages of smartphone market share. It surveys 30,000 smartphone owners in the United States, age 13 and over, and asks them which phone they use.
As you can see, the lagging-three-month averages for RIM and Symbian (and before that, Palm) have headed south. No surprise. The percentage of people who claimed to use an Apple phone has gone up slightly, from 24.2 percent in August of last year to 27.3 percent in August of this year. Google's gone through the roof, from 19.6 percent to 43.7 percent in August this year.
The surprising number? Microsoft's three-month-average market share plummeted from 10.8 percent in August last year to 5.8 percent in May of this year -- painfully close to falling by half -- but since May, the losses have stabilized, with Windows running at 5.7 to 5.8 percent of the market.
Though comScore doesn't publish worldwide smartphone numbers, in the five leading European markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), Microsoft dropped from 11.5 percent of the market in July 2010 to 6.7 percent of the market in July 2011.
Don't jump out of your seat and start chanting, "Developers, developers, developers," just yet. The comScore numbers tell an important tale -- how many people report owning a Windows-powered phone -- but there are two other numbers that warrant attention.
Online media measuring company Net Applications measures how often mobile devices are used to access one of its 40,000 tracked sites. I've talked about their NetMarketShare reports many times, most recently in describing how Internet Explorer is rapidly falling to 50 percent of desktop browser use and how the "iPad effect" has greatly increased mobile browser usage numbers.
The sample base for comScore and Net Applications varies significantly. For starters, comScore asks U.S. smartphone owners which phone they own. Net Applications looks at all websites, all over the world, and reports on which operating systems are being used to power the browsers.

November Edition
I am back with the best in WMMA this month. I'm not sure if there's any live streams, but I'll post when I do know
Nov. 4 – DEEP JEWELS 2
105lbs Atomweight
#6 Seo Hee Ham vs. #12 Sadae Numata (For Atomweight title)
Both of these girls (woman for Numata, I mean she's FORTY ONE, according to Sherdog) would be welcome additions to Invicta's 105 division. In seems Invicta isn't keen on a Penne/Waterson rematch, so soon. The winner of this fight, could be next for Waterson.
Numata missed weight for her last fight, so it'll be interesting to see what happens if she misses weight again. It can't be easy cutting weight as not only a woman, but also a 41 year old woman. This is a very winnable fight for Numata.
115lbs Strawweight
#10 Mizuki Inoue vs #11 Emi Fujino (Strawweight Semi-Final #1)
Inoue drew first in the random draw and got Fujino. Fujino is a tough fighter, but she loses to the best, and Inoue is going to be a star. Inoue has already fought girls on Fujino's level, such as Invicta fighters, Alex Chambers, Bec Hyatt and Ayaka Hamasaki, beating Chambers and Hyatt. She had the best debut for a Japanese fighter in America in a long, long time (Horiguchi made an emphatic debut against Dustin Pague too).
115lbs Strawweight
Mika Nagano vs Emi Tomimatsu (Strawweight Semi-Final #2)
Tomimatsu is a legit, legit grappler with a brown belt in jiu jitsu. One huge difference I see between the men and women is that with the women, belts do matter. If a chick is highly ranked, from what I've seen, that translate to MMA. While, in MMA I see black belts like Nam Phan, Machida, Anderson Silva, and they aren't active on their back, preferring to hold on to posture.
Nagano has improved a lot since getting blasted by #9 Atomweight and Invicta fighter, Alex Chambers, and I expect her to win. Tomimatsu is just too small for this weight class. She weighed in at 113, I believe, for her last fight, and is only 5"1. Regardless of how she does in this tournament, I'd like to see her make the move down.
105lbs Atomweight
#8 Naho Sugiyama vs. Masako Yoshida
I don't see Sugiyama being a viable atomweight contender. She got obliterated by Jessica Penne in Invicta and has lost her last two fights in Japan. The once "#1 Atomweight" showed her true skills as a middling Japanese fighter in an era where the atomweight division was basically non-existent. I look forward to her dropping lower and lower in the 105lbs rankings. However, I doubt Yoshida will be the one to do it.
Nov. 23 – MMA Super Heroes 2
125lbs Flyweight
#11 Kalindra Faria vs. Julie Aguiar
This flyweight grandprix final got postponed from its original October date for reasons I'm unaware of. Still, Faria beat a juiced Carina Damm by armbar and would be a welcome addition to Invicta's thin flyweight roster.
Nov. 23 – SCS 20
115lbs Strawweight
#11 Alida Gray vs. Kati Casimir
Alida Gray is the surprise of WMMA this year. Normally if you're making your pro debut and the fighter your scheduled with backs out for whatever reason, you get no fight. BUT, in a stroke of luck, veteran of the sport, Patricia Vidonic, who just came off a split decision over arguably the #1 strawweight, Jessica Aguilar, and a short noticed 1st round armbar victory. Vidonic comes in and absolutely handles Gray on the ground in round 1, from her back.
Vidonic might just be the best guard player in at 115 today. She employs a high guard and from what I've seen gives fighters trouble (almost getting the split over Aguilar even though she was mostly on her back). She had Gray in armbar/traingle transitions that entire first round and it could have been 10-8. Then, Gray gets taken down and the first armbar she throws up, she gets it. Vidonic likely underestimated her, and thus, Alida Gray was born.
Here's my Alida Gray scouting report:
Although she is 36 years-young, Gray does not show signs of wear and tear due to her relative late start to MMA. She has shown aggressive striking on the feet and on the ground, posturing up to throw ground and pound with visible intent to do damage.. She was able to Judo trip Vidonic, and hit a nice Judo trip reversal in her 2nd pro fight. Although she was not subbed, carelessness in anyone's guard could spell trouble for her in the future. If Gray can continue winning in impressive fashion, she could see a leave from the regional scene very soon
Nov. 30 – Global Warrior Challenge
135lbs Bantamweight
Raquel Pa'aluhi vs. Aline Serio
Always excited to see Pa'aluhi fight. If she can win a few more on the regional scene, Invicta will probably ask her back. All her losses are by submission.
The Ultimate Fighter
The final female match takes place on Wednesday with Sarah Moras vs. Peggy Morgan. I think Moras is the better fighter, but Morgan's size could give her trouble. Also, IIRC Moras faded in her decision lost to Raquel Pennington in Invicta.
The finale takes place Nov. 30th and I'll have a full write up dedicated to just that closer to the date.
You can stalk me on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr for the quickest WMMA updates, full fights and shit like that.

Hughes nets two in MVP day in Santa Fund Classic
It wasn't hard to find Westmont Hilltop's Shyleigh Hughes on the field during the girls' game of the Santa Fund Soccer Classic at Greater Johnstown High School.
The gifted goal-scorer, who netted 107 goals as a Hilltopper, wore her hair in a mohawk style with coloring to celebrate the holiday theme of the matches at Trojan Stadium.
It wasn't hard to find Hughes on the scoresheet either. Her two goals helped the North All-Stars to a 3-0 win over the South on Saturday.

William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is a kind of playground for designers. The play's rich text and loosely defined location offer endless possibilities. Illyria has been envisioned as a bare landscape inhabited by Puritans and a Victorian county estate, among other things. Yet none of these concepts was as magical as the recent revival at Lincoln Center Theatre, directed by Nicholas Hytner. Scenic designer Bob Crowley's Illyria was a floating world, a network of islands defined by a variety of Eastern influences, including Oriental carpeting, Buddhist temple lamps, and wall patterns from India. Natasha Katz matched the richly sensuous palette of Crowley's work with her own voluptuously colored lighting design. Most designers working in the cavernous Vivian Beaumont Theatre force the action as far downstage as possible, to create a sense of intimacy. Crowley and Katz boldly used the entire space, turning their Illyria into a limitless vista of magic and romance.
Aside from Crowley and Katz (along with costume designer Catherine Zuber and sound designer Scott Stauffer), a large team of professionals, with a vast array of skills, was assembled to realize the designers' vision. The stage floor, with its brightly colored red, blue, and gold carpet design, was one of the design's most eye-catching aspects. An amalgamation of Indian and Persian tints and textures, it was painted by Jane Snow, the charge painter, from Hudson Scenic Studios. Snow also fabricated the Alhambra-like walls of Olivia's palace, with their delicate, filigreed patterns. The ever-shifting landscape of Illyria, with its moving bridges, was the work of Scenic Technologies (Fred Gallo, VP of production and Geoffrey Friedlander, project manager), whose Stage Command System(R) made two serpentine ramps and four walkways move seamlessly throughout the play.
The job of installing the elaborate setting--an epic feat of coordination and technical skill--and making sure that everything went smoothly and according to schedule fell to Walter Murphy, production carpenter at the Beaumont. Similarly, production electrician Patrick Merryman was charged with the installation of Katz's design. Both men had their work cut out for them, since the production featured, among other things, over 1,200 lighting units and an upstage pool that held 8,700 gallons of water (not to mention a downstage pool, suitable for dipping). While Murphy got the pool installed and filled, along with the scenery and all of its moving components, Merryman made use of a multiplexing system that allowed him to provide power for the huge light plot as well as the rain system, hazers, pool pumps and heaters, scenery automation winches, and 220V lightning strobe system.
The changing atmosphere of Illyria was a key component of its design; Katz in particular made brilliant use of rain and fog effects to give an extra layer of complexity to her lighting. These effects were the work of special-effects maestro Gregory Meeh; in one of the production's most magical moments, the shipwrecked Viola (played by Helen Hunt) appeared out of a blue-tinted mist, like a creature born of the elements.
That moment perfectly illustrates the success of Twelfth Night, in which all the design elements blended to support the director's vision. But it also illustrates the technical teamwork that supported the designer's vision, as well. The members of the Twelfth Night technical team represent a kind of state-of-the-art lineup of what we used to call theatre crafts--from the old-fashioned skill of scenery painting, to the modern techniques of computer-controlled scenic movement, to the always necessary technical support from carpenters and electricians, to the magical illusions created by effects specialists. Each skill is unique and irreplaceable in the creation of magical theatre.

WASHINGTON -- Just how many classified opinions has the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel issued since President Barack Obama took office four years ago? The department won't say.
Back in December, before disclosure of a Justice Department "white paper" on the legal justification for targeted killings set off a drumbeat of calls for the Obama administration to provide Congress with all OLC memos on the drone strike program, this reporter asked the Office of Legal Counsel for a list of every opinion it had issued during the Obama years.
In response to the Freedom of Information Act request, the OLC sent a letter dated Feb. 20 and enclosed five mostly redacted lists from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and the first month-and-a-half of 2013.
What's more interesting is what wasn't included: The office stated that it was withholding, in full, 11 lists of classified OLC opinions. Because the length of each list is unknown, it's unclear how many classified opinions the OLC has issued during the Obama administration.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has indicated that there are 11 OLC memos specifically related to the Obama administration's targeted killing program and that members of Congress have seen only four.
On the unclassified side, the OLC issued 28 legal memos in 2009, 19 in 2010, 12 in 2011, 16 in 2012 and one so far in 2013, for a total of 76 unclassified opinions.
The titles of many OLC opinions were fully redacted in the lists provided, with a Justice Department official writing that the titles were "protected by the deliberative process, attorney-client, and/or attorney work-product privileges." The names of the lawyers who wrote a number of opinions -- including the memo on the president's use of recess appointments during the Senate's pro forma sessions -- were also blacked out because their disclosure would "constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy," the official wrote.
Some of the memos mentioned in the list have already been disclosed online by the OLC. The Justice Department even redacted the title of the opinion on whether the president could unilaterally ignore the debt ceiling limit, though the existence of that memo was disclosed in response to a FOIA request from Talking Points Memo in 2011.
UPDATE: 6:33 p.m. -- Emptywheel blogger Marcy Wheeler writes there's at least one other OLC memo that the government has acknowledged but that was redacted from the list of OLC opinions: a Jan. 8, 2010, opinion analyzing whether the Electronics Communication Privacy Act prevents telecommunications companies from voluntarily turning over international communications to the government.
As the Sunlight Foundation's Daniel Schuman pointed out in his analysis of OLC disclosure in August 2012, the office stated in 2010 that it "operates from the presumption that it should make its significant opinions fully and promptly available to the public."
The full redacted list of unclassified OLC opinions appears below.

Boeing Phantom Ray
Type: Military (U.S.) Description: Boeing's stealth Phantom Ray took to the skies for the first time in April 2011. According to Boeing, the Phantom Ray can perform missions such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; suppression of enemy air defenses; and electronic attack. Potential Deployment: Unknown. This is a "demonstrator" so there will likely be a future variation of the Ray.
General Atomics Predator Avenger
Type: Military (U.S.) Description: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Predator Avenger C is a beast. According to the two-page brochure, the PAC is a "Next-Generation Multi-mission ISR and Strike Aircraft" and successor for the Predator B that can be stacked with a multitude of weaponry. Deployment: There is one demonstration craft currently in Afghanistan.
SOCOM Mini Drone Of Doom
Type: Military (U.S.) Description: Yo dawg, I heard you like drones so I put a drone in your drone. One small deadly warhead-equipped mini-drone stuffed into another, to be launched from the main drone and remotely aimed at a target.  Potential Deployment: This warhead-equiped micro-UAV could be flown by SOCOM in the skies by spring 2012.
Suicide Switchblade
Type: Military (USA) Description: AeroVironment's Switchblade is meant to be a portable, rapid deployment, beyond line-of-sight, "loitering munition" that is a "magic bullet." A bit of advice, AeroVironment: Don't describe a remote-controlled bomb as a "loitering munition" that you call "Switchblade," as it conjures up images of 1950's-style greasers loitering on street corners, flipping open switchblades idly as they wait for their favorite gals. Luckily, greasers won't be in charge of flying Switchblades. They're to be controlled by infantry and according to the AeroVironment, "Flying quietly at high speed the Switchblade delivers its onboard explosive payload with precision while minimizing collateral damage." Potential Deployment: Undisclosed.
Nano Hummingbird
Type: Surveillance (USA, DARPA Funded) Description: AeroVironment is at it again. In partnership with DARPA, they've actually managed to build a human mechanically engineered version of one of nature's most amazing flying machines: the hummingbird. The Nano Hummingbird is a perfect bid for James Bond-esque style spy shenanigans. Once these hit the field, we'll never look at hummingbirds the same way. "Stop looking at me! That bird is following me!" Potential Deployment: Within five years.
Army A160 Hummingbird Drone
Type: Military (U.S. Army) Description: Though the military's A160 Hummingbird drone doesn't resemble an actual hummingbird so much as AeroVironment's take, it is raising just as many alarms because of its potential to be deployed on the U.S. home front. Potential Deployment: May or June 2012, Afghanistan
Type: Military (U.S. Navy) Description: Northrop Grumman describes the Firescout as a "Transformational Fire Scout Vertical Takeoff and Landing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle system provides unprecedented situation awareness and precision targeting support for U.S. Armed Forces of the future. The MQ-8B Fire Scout has the ability to autonomously take off and land on any aviation-capable warship and at prepared and unprepared landing zones in proximity to the soldier in contact." Potential Deployment: March 2013
Euro Hawk
Type: Military (German Ministry of Defense, purchased from Northrop Grumman) Description: NG touts its Euro Hawk, built for German Ministry of Defense, as having a "wingspan larger than a commercial airliner, endurance of more than 30 hours and a maximum altitude of more than 60,000 feet, EURO HAWK is an interoperable, modular and cost-effective replacement to the aging fleet of manned Breguet Atlantic aircraft, which have been in service since 1972 and will be retired in 2010." Potential Deployment: 2015, 2016 (PDF)
Type: Military (U.S. Navy) Description: A carrier-based combat drone, Northrop Grumman's futuristic X-47B flew in its cruise configuration for the first time on November 22, 2011. It can land with precision on the deck of a moving aircraft carrier, and features twin weapons payload bays that hold up to 4,500 lbs. (PDF). Potential Deployment: 2018
Type: Military (British) Description: BAE System's Taranis (PDF) is aiming to "Push the boundaries by providing advancements in low observability capability and autonomous mission systems operations demonstrating the feasibility and utility of UAVs." Such a statement starts to push the idea of fully autonomous flight from science fiction into science fact, though we're still a long way off from having an actual real debate on fully autonomous drones fighting our battles and flying our skies. Potential Deployment: TBD, test flights have been delayed to 2012.
Boeing Phantom Eye
Type: Communications Description: Boeing's hydrogen-powered Phantom Eye is a High Altitude Long Duration Craft designed to fly at 65,000 feet for up to four days. Potential Deployment: Unknown
DARPA Vulture
Type: Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Description: DARPA's description says the "Vulture technology enables a re-taskable, persistent pseudo-satellite capability, in an aircraft package." Basically, DARPA is attempting to develop a super long duration craft capable of five year continuous flight. Think about that - the Vulture is intended to fly for up to five years continuously. If it were to launch this year it would be in the air for two Olympics. Potential Deployment: Unknown
AVIATR: Drone To Fly Saturn's Moon
Type: Government Funded Space Exploration Description: While the proposal probably won't go through for this mission, this is an aerial drone we can really get behind. AVIATR would be a long distance drone that would fly the skies of Saturn's moon Titan. Potential Deployment: Beyond 2020
Japan Defense Ministry Ball Drone
Type: Surveillance (Japan) Description: Techcrunch tells us that the drone can "stand still in mid-air, fly vertically and horizontally through narrow spaces at up to 60km/h, and (which is very cool) keep on moving when it hits the ground or a wall. Thanks to three gyro sensors in its body, the machine can keep also flying even if it's hit by an obstacle." And all for only $1,400. Potential Deployment: Undisclosed

Revision as of 18:35, 31 December 2011
This article explains how to geo-code two locations and show the route between them using Nokia Maps.
In this article we will study on how to calculate the Route between two selected points on the map, providing that a valid route can be found in all.
Nokia Maps API supported web browser (basically any modern web browser)
Important about Maps credentials
Nokia provides several services options within the Maps API offering. The service is free to use, but if you complete the free registration process and obtain authentication and authorization credentials, your application will have priority access to the service and will thus avoid a potential performance penalty. Please read the Location API Business Models and Usage Restrictions page to decide which business model best fits your needs. Authentication requires unique Maps API credentials, namely an AppId and a token. You can get these credentials from the Nokia Developer API Registration page.
In this example we will define two waypoints for the route; the geographical location of Berlin, Germany to the one of Paris, France. To be able to use the routing we need to initialize a new Routing Manager. We will cast the waypoints to it with some additional parameters. We want the "shortest" route with "car" and no fee roads with "avoidTollroad" plus having the trafficMode set to "default".

Valorie Eversole Daily Union Editor
Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Parts of Shelbyville High School is in need of new roofing.
This was the report given by Superintendent Denise Bence at Thursday's school board meeting.
Bence told the board that an infrared scan of the Kindergarten, gym, and auditorium sections of the building revealed the deficiency in the roofing on the gym and auditorium. The Kindergarten section was fine for now.
"There is no rubber roof on the gym," Bence said. "But we won't be doing anything about it until next summer. It will be put into the budget."
Bence also noted that the tennis courts were in need of resurfacing and that funds were being sought for the project.
"We looked into the city's TIF funds and found they could only be used for building rehabilitation, employee training, and equipment. It could not be used for the tennis courts," Bence said.
Bence presented a bid from Cutting Edge Asphalt for $14,796 with a resurfacing kit.
The board approved the contract with Shelby Memorial Hospital for an athletic trainer for the 2013-2014 school year.
Following executive session, the board:
- Accepted the resignations of High School math teacher Courtney Mills and part time elementary art teacher Mary Brooks.
- Approved the following coaching positions: volunteer assistant gold coaches Bill Leach and Jordan Ziegenbein, volunteer assistant cross country coach Chris Mosley, and volunteer assistant Jr. High softball coach Mike Holland.

A lot of finishing touches are being made at the new Regions Field stadium in Birmingham.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was originally scheduled to take place Monday, but city leaders moved it to Wednesday just before the opening game. They say it will allow Governor Robert Bentley to be there to take part in the ceremony as well as the big game.
The new stadium not only has city and state leaders buzzing, the community is really rallying around the development as well. At nearby Railroad Park, it is what most people were talking about. They hope it will help bring new life to the downtown area.
The first pitch is expected to be thrown in front of a sold out crowd. The Barons will face off against the Mississippi Braves at 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday night.
Right now, they are two and two after playing four games in Montgomery. They will face off against the Montgomery Biscuits once again Monday night.

As could probably have been expected, we have seen several more obviously wrong umpiring calls this season, leading to more inquiries as to when we're going to get replay review expanded — something that was promised last November in the new MLB-MLBPA CBA.
It hasn't happened. And, says Fox Sports' Jon Paul Morosi, don't hold your breath waiting:
Joe Torre, MLB's executive vice president for baseball operations, told me Wednesday that instant replay does not have an official place on the agenda at the owners meetings next week.
Oh, they'll keep talking about it. Much harrumphing is expected. It's entirely possible that we'll have something by 2013, but that's a promise that should have been kept this year. Morosi's article does have one very good suggestion, made by a MLB general manager, which would expand upon the "fifth umpire in the press box" concept that many observers have championed:
Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin suggested a similar plan to me this week: He would allow the fifth umpire to correct calls that were obviously missed because of a bad angle by the umpire. (That would cover the Welke play, for example.)
Another feature of Melvin's plan: "I would recommend each club gets one upstairs review on offense and one on defense during the game. I would experiment in September with games but not activate it and see how many calls that would be reviewed could impact a game. The umpires, players and field staff should all be a part of the process to determine if replay should be extended beyond home run calls."
Sounds great. Time for Bud Selig to step out of the 1970s and get it done.

Dear i resievd the product but not well so i request you kindly send me frash ps
best regards mohd maslehuddin
This is the best calculator if you are doing CA or CS or CMA course.. I am a CA Finalist And CMA intermediate student and i can tell you this is the best one for us. The '000' and '00' buttns help a lot plus it has tax,sell,margine etc buttns. It is big enough to calculate faster as you know each and every second is important to us in the exam. This is made for CA,CMA or Cs students or any other courses related to Accountancy or Commerce... Go for it.
Has solar charge as well as battery. Value for money. Good size. Good performance. Lacks the correction button which is mandatory in calculators these days.
Its very big for normal usage. Quality is very good though. If you want a calculator which is handy then consider other options.
I was surprised with the size of the product. The key layout takes some getting used to. I purchased the product for the +/- button which I use frequently. Ideally I would have liked a calculator with the +/- button and size of the CT-555N. The original item I received was defective but was promptly replaced by Flipkart

NEWS SHEET 6. July, 1976. Part 2.
THE CONSTITUTION.Our present constitution was voted on by the Members of the Society last August. It has thus been in force for only some nine months. It brought in a large vote - only three members of the Society voted against it.
Since it has been in force the constitution has given the Society excellent service; it has not failed in practice in any single instance.
Before it was approved by such a large majority last August the Constitution had been on trial for one complete year. This was arranged so that if members wished changes made they could put them forward during this year (1974-75) by a free vote of the Society and without the need for the deliberately rather slow process of making a constitutional changes.
The effect of the Constitution is explicitly to put all responsibility for policy and finance back to general meetings of members - where in fact it has always belonged. There was once a period when the committee seemed to be acting as if it were a kind of governing body of the Society. A search through the existing records reveals that no powers to act in this fashion ever were given to the committee by the general membership. This usurpation of unjustified powers led to a great deal of internal strife. The earlier constitution, such as it was, was not in general circulation. The AGM of 1974 revealed only two copies among the members. Every member of the Society has a copy of the present Constitution.
One did not expect the Constitution to go on forever without change. But one did expect that changes would be made reasonably only when, and where, the Constitution had failed the Society in some situation. The Constitution has not failed the Society in any situation up to now and has, indeed, shown itself capable of dealing with any situation that has occurred.
I did warn in NEWS SHEET 5 (page 16) that changes might easily be proposed without any real cause - especially in Section 16. Section 16 especially its last Paragraph was thought out carefully and deliberately inserted in the Constitution to protect the Society from the activities of a certain class of person; the over-egotistic alphabeteer. By this I mean the kind of person who has composed his own special alphabet and who wants desperately to get for it some kind of official recognition (and sometimes financial aid) from the Society. There is, of course, nothing wrong with composing an alphabet, it is entirely in itself a laudable project. In fact probably most members of the Society have at one time or another engaged on such an activity and many members have their own alphabets which they value highly. This is all fine and members of the Society should be encouraged to discuss and demonstrate their alphabets at the meetings of the Society, in the Society's journals, etc. What is NOT right is for some Member to attempt to impose his special alphabet in some way on the Society and thus upon those members who have their own (perhaps equally good or even better) alphabets. Much of the trouble the Society has had in the past has sprung from the attempts by certain members to get a privileged status for their own special alphabets. Much time has been wasted in meetings when other members have resisted such attempts at gaining special privilege. Anger and bad blood, even, have been generated.
Section 16 was thought out to free the Society from such unconstructive conflict. That it is, in fact, able to do this was shown at last year's AGM and Postal Vote, when a motion to establish New Spelling 1948 as the alphabet of the Society was withdrawn by its proposers after it had been claimed that this was out-of-order under Section 16. This was done even though the motion had won a majority of votes - see NEWS SHEET 5, page 7.
Section 16 of the Constitution affords a very special kind of protection to the Society. It ought not to be altered in any way unless it fails the Society in some important matter. Up to now Section 16 has given clear proof that it works very well.
Another section of the Constitution which is under assault is Section 16, which regulates constitutional amendments. Below is the full text of a constitutional amendment which has been sent in to be considered by the committee. It will be noted that this amendment has been put forward by someone who does not even know the proper name of the Society. This is typical of the sloppy thought which characterises many suggestions put forward for constitutional changes.
PROPOSAL for Amendment of Constitution.
Amend Clause 18 to read:
Any proposition for amending this constitution shall be submitted in writing, duly proposed and seconded, to the Secretary, who shall bring it to the notice of the Committee. The Committee, as soon as practicable and not later than 6 months after its receipt by the Secretary shall arrange for its circularisation to Members. The Committee may attach any comments or recommendations thereon as it thinks fit.
The proposition may be discussed at the next ensuing general meeting of the Society but may not be adopted as an approved amendment.
The Committee shall request an independent authority having no connection with the Society (such as the Electoral Reform Society) to conduct a poll of Members.
If that authority reports that not less than 66% of the votes cast are in favour of the proposition, the constitution shall thereupon be amended in accordance with the proposition.
Comment 1. The purposes of the proposition are:
(a) to simplify the procedure, making it more workable and easier to follow;
(b) to reduce the time scale involved in making amendments;
(c) to eliminate difficulties of interpretation under the present wording;
(d) to reduce the wording (299 words down to 152).
Comment 2. If this proposition is adopted, I consider the procedure still rather costly for the Society, because it really involves a treble circularisation to Members: (i) the original proposition; (ii) the poll by the independent authority; (iii) notification to members of the result of the poll. However, I have preferred as a first step to concentrate upon a simplification of other parts of the procedure."
The proposal to amend Section 16 is accompanied by several comments by its author. Comment 1(a) is "to simplify the procedure." It ought NOT be simple to alter the Constitution: a Constitution is intended to lay down a firm foundation for the activities of the Society. Comment 1(b) is "to reduce the time scale involved in making amendments." This probably, if it means anything, is a rather pompous way of saying "to get amendments made quicker". But it ought NOT to be possible to get amendments made hastily. Some time ought to be spent by members in thinking over constitutional amendments in order that rational decisions be reached about the need for them and about their effect. Time must be allowed to members to think and put forward their own ideas. The present Constitution allows this time. Comment 1(c) is "to eliminate difficulties of interpretation under (sic) the present wording". This, if again it means anything at all, seems to be a verbose way of saying "to make it easier to understand." Yet the author has not offered one single example of where the present Constitution is difficult to understand. No member of the Society has offered even one example of difficulty during the year in which the Constitution was on trial. Comment 1(d) is "to reduce the wording (299 words down to 152)." I am tempted to levity about this comment but presumably the author meant it seriously and so is entitled to respectful treatment. I have always believed that the right number of words for any document is that number which allows it to say clearly what is intended. I do not believe that there is any virtue in brevity for its own sake. We cannot work on a "Me Tarzan - you Jane" basis. If we are asked to alter the Constitution for the sake of saving 77 words it might be wise to think of the probable consequences of this action. Think of the fun that future nit-pickers and logic choppers are going to have in proposing dozens of new Constitutional Amendments. We will be able to forget about spelling reform and spend all our future meetings tearing at the Society's guts. It is no good pretending this won't happen. It always has in the past. One can see what will happen from the list of proposed amendments printed in another place in this issue of NEWS SHEET.
Another thing members should remember is that when this Constitution was first written it was very carefully examined by Mr Leslie Blake who was then our Treasurer. For the benefit of folk who do not know Mr Blake I should say that he has an Honours degree in Law. He is also a fully qualified Barrister at Law and now teaches law at a London Polytechnic. Mr Blake carefully examined the script of the proposed Constitution and made some suggestions for changes. These were included and Mr Blake felt that the result was a very good Constitution. It was duplicated (at no expense to the Society through the courtesy of Mr Herbert Wilkinson) circulated to the Members and approved by the AGM of 1974 for one year's trial in practice. It was approved as the permanent Constitution of the Society by the poll of members for the AGM of 1975.
At present, for the first time ever, every single member of the Society has his/her own copy of the Constitution and so knows what it is about. Quite apart from the expense involved (and this will be large in relation to our scanty and now devalued funds) a great deal of time and work will be involved in circulating these amendments to get them known to the members should any of them be passed. The options will be the production of a new constitutional booklet or of a set of paste-over slips. The booklet will be the most effective - but the more expensive. The paste-overs will have to be stuck into the 300 copies in stock by the Secretary or by paid labour. It's an unpleasant job as I know from sticking down 120 envelopes to send out our journals. Most of the members who get them will forget to stick them into place and so they will be wasted.
Although it is reasonable to expect that over passing time the need for revision of some parts of the Constitution will become obvious, it is not reasonable to expect that changes are needed less than a year after it was voted into force by the members, I accordingly suggest to members that they should reject all amendments proposed (until the Constitution has been tried out in practice) for a period of at least two more years. If members keep this in mind when voting (or refraining) on proposed constitutional amendments, it will prevent some silly action.
MESSAGE FROM THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY:We are now entering an expansive phase and we should act accordingly. The Society has had publicity from articles in the Manchester Evening News, from press releases about the Duke of Edinburgh joining the Society as Patron and conference coverage. Even the American Globe has commissioned an article from one of its agents.
Our energies will be divided between devising ways of selecting systems for the spelling trials, comparing texts and finding schools willing to participate in running trials.
It is important that we move with the times and test systems in a scientific manner before we inflict the originators systems on the public.
If we are to retain credibility we must proceed with due care and attention and neglect no necessary checks. Also we need something tangible to show to visitors and somewhere to show it to them.
This year's budget has been drawn from a consensus of opinion of the Society's members.
Good luck in your endeavours.

The EMA members will meet Feb. 21, June 20, Sept. 19 and Dec. 19, 2013.
The lengthy but mostly uneventful meeting saw discussion of new Deputy EMA Director Peggy Brown, who is presently progressing in her orientation in the new position. Duckworth and Brown were appointed to their respective duties in August via a vote from the Decatur County Commissioners. Both work in a part-time capacity in heading up the organization and are complemented by an Advisory Council that votes on decisions for the group.
Duckworth had previously served as interim Director since the summer of 2011.
Residents of Decatur County interested in receiving weather updates regarding severe weather alerts and other emergencies may do so in a number of ways.
The EMA has its own Facebook page that is regularly updated. Facebook users can simply "like" the page to view these updates.
Similarly, the Decatur County EMA is on Twitter. The feed will contain the same updates as seen on the organization's Facebook page, which are updated via the NIXLE alert system.

La Palina's Next Act
Bill Paley spent his life trying to please his famous father, but found success making cigars like his grandfather
David Savona
From the Print Edition:
Ernie Els, November/December 2012
Bill Paley sits back in a leather chair in his Washington, D.C., office, a puff of smoke from his La Palina cigar dying long before it reaches the ceiling that looms high above. The room is tricked out with floor-to-ceiling bookcases, an octagonal poker table by the window overlooking the tree-lined streets of DuPont Circle and a fat, chunky CBS Radio microphone off to the side, a memento of the media empire built by his father. This is the headquarters of La Palina Cigars.
While he has only been selling cigars for two years, Paley's boutique smokes are a revival of a brand created by his grandfather in Chicago in the 1800s. The new La Palinas—made in five varieties and counting, by four different manufacturers in as many countries—have begun to attract serious attention from the cigar community despite hitting the market with price tags of $20 and up at a time when most cigar smokers were looking for bargains. Paley's La Palina El Diario KB, a small, dark smoke with a kick, scored 93 points in this magazine, and one of his newer creations, a small-production, truncated lancero called the Goldie sold out almost immediately.
A tall, snappy dresser of 64 years with long, silver hair and a beard, Paley has occasionally been mistaken for Jonathan Goldsmith, the actor who portrays "The Most Interesting Man in the World" in the commercials for Dos Equis. While his CV isn't as superhuman as that of the fictional beer hero, Paley has an intriguing story all his own.
A Vietnam-war vet and college dropout, Paley served as a filmmaker for the U.S. Army, worked on propaganda for the U.S. Department of Defense, lived on a boat for several years after the war, tried the restaurant business for a time and spent some two decades as an addictions counselor, helping users battle their demons after winning a battle against addiction himself.
His full name is William S. Paley Jr., and he hails from wealth and fame. His father William S. Paley turned CBS Radio from a small radio network into a powerhouse company, founded the CBS television network and once bought the New York Yankees for the company. In addition to the microphone, Paley's office has a tall cabinet holding three 20-inch Sony televisions that his father kept tuned to the three major networks, the entire media world, for all intents and purposes, during his day. His mother, Barbara, known as Babe, was a fashion icon. His maternal grandfather, Dr. Harvey Cushing, was a renowned brain
surgeon, described by some as the father of modern neurosurgery.
Paley calls his childhood "extraordinary," for its taste of luxury, grand homes, gourmet food and even a valet to teach him the ropes, but it was also challenging. His father was a hard-charging, competitive lion of industry who played for keeps, and being his son could be a difficult task.
"He could always see the weak point," Paley says of his father. "As a son, nothing was right. It was very hard to live up to."
Paley never excelled at school, which contributed to his landing in Southeast Asia. "I did a year in college, didn't do well and I got drafted," he says. He ended up in Vietnam, was stationed in the field filming troops, sometimes in action. "I didn't kill anybody, I didn't get killed," he says. But the wartime experience had an effect on him. "I sort of had it." He—literally—drifted for three years on a Hinckley Sou'wester yacht. "It was like a floating commune," he says.
Paley had trouble finding himself. He tried selling yachts and dabbled in the restaurant business, and found success as an addictions counselor, helping people who went through what he went through.
"I had my own issues," he says of addiction, saying he got clean in 1984. "Addiction is choice-less behavior. It's the brain that's addicted. The mind doesn't want to be there."

Great cigars! Where can I get some more???
Andrew Szymczyk — March 16, 2013 10:55am ET
The attention to detail at El Titan de Bronze is incredible. I spent some time with Maria and Sandy in January, and walked away thinking that Bill struck gold with that factory.

Beautiful watch worn by Mr. Paley! Does anyone know who makes it or where I might be able to find one?

(January 23, 2009) – Skate Canada alumni Jamie Salé and David Pelletier will join four other 2009 entries into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame. The announcement was made by the Canadian Olympic Committee.
Salé and Pelletier teamed up in 1998 to form one of Canada's most loved pair teams. In 2002 they captured gold at the Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games after a much publicized judging scandal. The pair team quickly became know as "Canadian Sweethearts" and their free program, skated to the music of Love Story, became an instant signature piece.
In addition to their Olympic title, Salé and Pelletier were crowned the 2001 World Pair Champions and were three-time Canadian Pair Champions (2000, 2001, 2002). Salé and Pelletier were also awarded the Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada's top athletes in 2001 and were inducted into the Skate Canada Hall of Fame in 2006.
They will be officially induced on March 26, 2009 at the 2009 Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame Gala Dinner & Induction Ceremony in Vancouver, B.C.
Congratulations to both Jamie and David on this prestigious honour!
