PLATTSBURGH — When Roderic Giltz's father was named Irishman of the Year in 1979, the breakfast was followed by a parade through downtown Plattsburgh featuring the honoree and his family.
While Rod was pleased for his dad, the venerable E. Glenn Giltz, it couldn't have come at a worse time.
"I remember thinking: I have things to do, I can't ride around in a parade all day," he said with a big smile Monday morning after he was awarded the same honor given to his father 34 years ago.
There was no parade this year and hasn't been for a few decades, but Rod was certainly the main attraction of Monday's North Country Chamber of Commerce annual St. Patrick's Day Breakfast.
The ceremony marked the 55th time a worthy soul was given the honor, which indicates the recipient's devotion to community service over the years, along with genuine fellowship.
Rod's selection marked the first time a father and son have won the award.
He was pleasantly surprised.
"I applied for the job in Rome (as new Roman Catholic pope), and I figured I was a long shot for that, but I thought this would be an even bigger long shot," Rod kidded with the crowd after receiving his honor from Master of Ceremonies Kevin Killeen.
Applauding him was a crowd of about 400 at SUNY Plattsburgh's Warren Ballroom.
Rod, 75, is known in the North Country for shepherding the family business, Northern Insuring, as its chairman for decades.
But he is also just as well known for the amount of time he has spent serving on community boards, trusts and foundations.
He has chaired or has been president of 12 community organizations in his career and has served on another half-dozen boards.

|A group of us climbed the southeast ridge from our camp at Chamber Lakes. It was a long cinder slog, with many variations possible as you approach the ridge. We had great weather and great views, and even took a dip in a lake on the way back to camp.

|A wonderful climb. My group did a loop from Lake Demeris, up the South East Ridge trail (the trail can be hard to find because of erosion), yet you can see were you need to go. We descended the North Ridge trial, which is easier to follow, then the SE, climbed the small peak between the North & Middle (Protey's point), then glissaded down the Hayden Glacier. Wonderful trip. Watch out for the butterflies, there were hundreds of them flying up and down the mountain.

|After climbing Broken Top the day before and backpacking a bushwhack route to the Chambers Lakes area we were a bit tired but realized this would be our only chance to climb this peak for maybe years to come. With Rob and Dave as partners, we scrambled up very unstable talus to the summit in about 2 hours from our camp at Chambers Lakes. This route is very unstable! Most of the time it felt as if the whole slope was about to give way. Won't do this route again! About 50 degrees at the summit with 30mph winds made it a bit uncomfortable for us dressed in shorts and t-shirts but at that age we all felt invinceable - boy did we have a lot to learn!

|Climb Party: Mazamas Climb - Portland OR
E. side ascent of Middle sister via the Hayden Glacier. Started from the Pole Creek TH (drive to Sisters OR, sign in at the Sisters Ranger Station and head to Pole Creek TH off of Hwy 242). Packed in to ~6200 ft and 5 miles from the TH for an overnight stay on June 18th. Early AM start at 03:00 up the Hayden Glacier to Prouty point. Had to use crampons almost all the way to the summit. Reached summit at 10:00, descended back to camp at 13:00. Broke camp and back at car at 17:00. Great climb with great weather and views from the summit. Since climb was early in the season, very few upper level crevasses were just starting to open up.
|Posted Jul 5, 2004 12:47 pm
|Route Climbed: East Side Date Climbed: September 11, 2003
|Left from Pole Creek and hiked into timberline. Climbed up and played on the Hayden Glacier with its many wide open cravases before heading down for dinner and sleep under a full moon. All three sisters looked so beautiful under Gods night light. Climbed up the next morning roped in with my 3 other climbing partners. Had high winds up from the saddle. It made it a little tricky in spots since there was about 1 foot of the falls first snow on the ground. Made it up and back down with only momentary glimpses of North Sister to see from the top. Great climb and an awesome experience.

|Route Climbed: North Date Climbed: August 1998
|Left Eastern Oregon at 3am, and began climbing at 7am. No special equipment needed, just ski goggles and plenty of water. The scree was two steps up, one slide down, as everyone knows:(
The ridge was a fun route, I have to say I saw the heels of the person in our group hiking in front of me, once too often though:)
Good memories from this climb

|Route Climbed: north ridge Date Climbed: multiple spring
|As a leader in the Univ of Oregon outdoor program, I did this peak multiple times in multiple years --- this was the destination for the mountaineering class.. The approach is definitely best from the east.-- the Pole Creek Trailhead.
In spring, make sure you rope up on the glacier --- you wouldn't believe the crevasses that reveal themselves on that thing later in the summer.
The upper third can be difficult if there is hard snow and no one has kicked in steps ---- but this is rare, seeing as this mountain sees lots of traffic all year around.

|Camped at the nice Chambers lakes area at Camp Lake. Wandered around in the afternoon to check out the other lakes. Next day went up the distinct ridge all the way to the summit with close up views of the other Sisters. Great end of summer climb.

|Route Climbed: North ridge via Hayden Glacier Date Climbed: august 19, 2003
|I left the pole creek trailhead solo at about 12:15 AM and reached the summit at 7:15. It was the best conditions i could have possibly asked for. I could see from St. helens and Adams all the way to Shasta and everything in between. no clouds at all north or south for about 45 minutes. also only a very mild breeze made the summit pleasant. the Hayden is pretty broken up with lots of crevasses. I would reccomend crampons and ice ax for safety. a fall could easily end up in a deep crevasse.

|Route Climbed: North Ridge via Renfrew Glacier Date Climbed: August 9th, 2003
|Annaleiserabinek and I left Corvallis at 1:30 AM to meet fellow SummitPost member dkantola at the Obsidian trailhead by 3:30. We were late though, sorry dkantola, that road was crazy. Left the trailhead around 4:30 AM under starry sky's. We reached the lava field and the first view of Middle and North Sisters as the dawn's soft glow made for an incredible view. Saw a couple of deer in one of the many gorgeous wildflower meadows on the way up. Cached my huge pack near Sister Springs and headed up the climbers trail. The Renfrew was mild and crevasse free, crampons were not necessary, but would have been nice in a couple of spots. I was tempted to stop near the top of the north ridge and build a sand castle....it was deep. Enjoyed one of the best views anywhere for over an hour, most of the time we had the summit to ourselves. A bit cloudy, but other than that perfect. On our way down we enjoyed a few good glissades. Parted ways with dkantola at the Obsidian Trail and headed up the PCT to camp on a cliff at Sunshine with awe-inspiring views over Glacier Creek of Mt. Washington, Three Fingered Jack, Little Brother, North Sister, and Middle Sister. Asleep before dark, beautiful day. Surprisingly not crowded at all, only saw about 15 people on the mountain all day. Highly recommended, much nicer climb than South Sister with better views.

|We hit snow level just after the foot bridge makeing route finding hard. Thanks to GPS we made good time to base camp. Weather was prefect, with great veiws of surrounding Mountains till we were half way down, when a fast arpoaching storm rolled in.

|Route Climbed: North Ridge via Hayden Glacier Date Climbed: June 15, 2003
|Trail in from Soap creek still had a lot of snow making it a little difficult to saty near the official trail. We ended up backtracking slightly and reaching the toe of the Hayden. We camped at around 7200' on a small moraine. Wind started picking up in the evening so we moved our camp on the downslope of the moraine and we were much better protected.
Had planned to start at 0400 but ended up sleeping in till 0630 before we got started. Took our leisurly time climbing up the right hand side of the glacier where we reached the saddle next to Prouty Point. It started it getting pretty warm. We gained the ridge and followed it up. Most of it was covered in snow and we experienced a short 50 degree section which required a little front pointing shortly before the summit. Had the summit to ourselves when we noticed a coupl eof people slowly making their way up the route. We started ou descent here we experienced softening snow and very warm temperatures. Since bith me and my partner had forgotten sun screen and lip protection we hurried down to our camp and the safety of the trees. When we got back to our camp a raven had decided to deposit my belongings all over the place.
The hike out was like always hot and long.

A metro family is counting their blessings after a tree came crashing down on top of them.
The huge tree cracked right through the trunk and fell on a little house next door in the area of South Ninth Street and Shawnee Avenue. A big branch smashed right through the roof into the living room.
The homeowner, Nicky Dominguez, was inside with her four young children, who were all taking a nap, when it happened about 2:30 p.m. She said she is lucky no one inside was hurt.
The tree appeared to be rotted out at the base and a wind advisory was in affect Saturday.
The tree was on a neighbor's property, and that homeowner rushed over to cut down some of the branches and patch up the roof.
"It knocked down all the guttering. Now there is a hole in the middle of the house," Dominguez said.
Her neighbors and plenty of friends say they were happy to break out the chainsaws Sunday and get to work.
"Times are tough. We have the means to help. It is partly our responsibility. It was our tree, even though we couldn't help anything that happened. We still feel we can come out and help, get it removed, and get the roof water tight so it doesn't leak," Jordan Newlon said.
Chris Holst says seeing what the wind can do gives him a new respect for Mother Nature.
"It is a crazy thing when trees come down wherever they want, and trying to get them off is a little difficult," Jordan Newlon said.
Once the smaller branches came off, the biggest challenge was the trunk and how to clear it safely.
"It was very sweet of people to act like that when people are in need," Dominguez said. "Now I can go to sleep and feel like something is not going to cave in on me on the house."
Dominguez said she still doesn't know how she will pay for the repairs to the house. She doesn't have homeowner's insurance and she's turning to family to figure out what to do next.
"We don't even have money right now to pay for all this. I start my job Monday so I don't know what I'm going to do," she said through tears.

Former Seibu Lions' shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima hopes to move to the Major Leagues now that he is a free agent, according to the Washington Post. Nakajima was posted by the Lions last winter and the New York Yankees won the he returned to the Lions for another year before being granted free agency.
The 30-year-old is a seven-time NPB All-Star and a career .302 hitter with 149 home runs and 134 stolen bases. Both the Oakland Athletics and Arizona Diamondbacks are said to be interested in the Japanese shortstop, as both teams currently have vacancies at the position.
Other NPB stars could be looking to make the move state-side as well. Former Hanshin Tigers' closer Kyuji Fujikawa was granted free agency and may draw interest from Major League clubs. Fujikawa has saved 220 games in his 12 seasons with the Tigers. Kesuke Tanaka, formerly of the Nippon Ham Fighters, and Takeshi Hidaka of the Orix Buffaloes are also reportedly drawing interest from Major League teams.

With Redwood City's downtown plan in effect, city staff has highlighted a 2.75 acre block that is ripe for development, according to Downtown Development Coordinator Dan Zack.
And developers are knocking.
The city back in January, which serves as the blueprint for the downtown area. And unlike in 2007, when for not sufficiently analyzing the potential shadow impacts on nearby buildings, this go-around did not face any legal challenges, Zack said. Now, the city council must direct staff on how to pursue development in the area designated as "Block 2," bordered by Jefferson, Middlefield and the Caltrain tracks.
"We're in the driver's seat," Councilmember Rosanne Foust said. "I don't want to limit this to one, two or three developers. Let's see what folks come up with."
For starters, development company Hunter Storm began negotiations with city officials for an exclusive contract to purchase the land as soon as the council approved the downtown plan. Developer Ed Storm said he believed an office building would be the best use of the space, to bring in businesses that would also supply more foot traffic to neighboring retail stores and restaurants. Storm said his company has already been speaking with three prospective tenants for its proposed 25,000 sq. ft. building.
Hunter Storm has purchased and developed four office buildings in Redwood City:
- Old Republic Title Building at 601 Allerton
- RWC Technology Station at 500 Arguello Street
- Veterans Plaza at 1400 Veterans Blvd.
- DPR Headquarters at 1450 Veterans Blvd.
"We're just hoping we can get a commitment from the city that they'll move forward with making a decision," Storm said.
But city staff presented numerous opportunities at the city council meeting, including a hotel with a venue that could host large events. The ballroom at the in Redwood Shores has a maximum capacity of 400 people.
"The window for development in the hotel market is very cyclical," Zack said. "And now it seems to be open. Many hotel developers are showing interest."
Councilmember Ian Bain suggested development such as a bowling alley. With the and Palo Alto Bowl, the closest bowling alley is in San Mateo. Bain said he reached out to the corporate offices of Lucky Strike, a high-end bowling alley chain, but they weren't interested yet.
"However, if something were in the works, they might change their tune," he said.
City staff said the development should welcome travelers into downtown and provide more synergy between the Sequoia Shopping Center and the downtown.
"Right now, they turn their backs toward each other," Zack said.
One aspect of the property that would need reconfiguring is the 211-space Middlefield parking lot. Developers would have to work parking lots into their designs, Zack said.
"We can have a design contest, get developers' creative juices flowing," Councilmember John Seybart said. "We can get some chefs in to test the area."

We all know what buzz is: It's noise. And here at InfoWorld, one of our self-appointed tasks is to extract the signal from that noise, to separate the stuff valuable to IT professionals from that which is popularly considered a big deal.
This mandate is the inspiration behind InfoWorld's list of top 10 emerging enterprise technologies of 2009. We believe this is an amazing time in IT, with a swarm of new technologies that have the potential to reduce costs, change the way we work, and open up new frontiers. So we decided to brush aside the high-level trends trumpeted by analysts and ask ourselves: Which enterprise technologies shipping now, but not yet widely adopted, will have the greatest impact?
[ See InfoWorld's top 10 emerging technologies of 2009 in our slideshow. ]
The result is the collection of actual, vapor-free technologies you find here. In case you're wondering, we used no scientific method in our selection process (other than drawing on the endeavors of the InfoWorld Test Center for inspiration). Our list is based entirely on the collective judgment of InfoWorld editors and contributors.
We have purposely avoided specific product mentions or recommendations, because we have set our sites on long-term potential rather than current implementation (for the year's best products, check our next Technology of the Year Awards, for which the 2010 edition is only six weeks away). If it's your job to concoct your organization's technology strategy and decide where to place your bets, then our top 10 emerging enterprise technologies is for you.
[ For recommendations on the best enterprise products, check out InfoWorld's Technology of the Year Awards. ]
Narrowing down the candidates to the final 10 wasn't easy, especially after we received so many excellent responses to the call for nominations we made in September. We don't expect you to approve of all of our selections. In fact, if history is any guide, a certain number of you will disagree violently with our conclusions.
Well, that's what article comments are for. We welcome your input and invite you to join the discussion. But if you're looking for broad pronouncements on "the cloud" or other fashion statements, allow us to refer you to the latest edition of Gartner's Hype Cycle. Everyone else: Read on.
10. Whitelisting
Keeping up with malware signatures is becoming unsustainable. In 2008, for example, Symantec put out more antivirus signatures than it did in the company's previous 17 years of existence. Not only are there more viruses, worms, and Trojans, but an increasing number have the ability to morph into variations that avoid signature detection or cloak themselves using encryption.
Ultimately, the only answer to the increasing proliferation and sophistication of malware may be whitelisting, where the only executables that can run on a system are known, good executables.
[ In the InfoWorld Test Center review "Whitelisting security offers salvation," Roger Grimes tries out five whitelisting products and turns up a clear winner. ]

Item #5 on the Guide to Publishing Qt Applications for Symbian to the Ovi Store is "5.) Platform Compatibility - Modify to control the set of platforms/devices your application supports. For more info, please refer to PKG file format and Platform and Device identification codes"
The "PKG file format" link is broken and I have not been able to find instructions on how to set this in Qt Creator.
I was able to add the Vendor Name, as specified in #3 and #4. The "Link for more instructions" worked perfectly. I'd like something that helpful for specifying that the app is only for the N8.
I tried appending the "Default HW\platform dependencies" line to the deployment pkg_prerules in the .pro file, but that did not work. Here is what I tried:
This resulted in the line being added to the .pkg, but not overwriting the default devices that we are not supporting.Code:customrules.pkg_prerules = \ "; Localised Vendor name" \ "%{\"Digital Dandelion, Inc.\"}" \ " " \ "; Unique Vendor name" \ ":\"Digital Dandelion, Inc.\"" \ " " \ "; Default HW/platform dependencies" \ "[0x20029A73],0,0,0,{\"0x20029A73\"}" DEPLOYMENT += customrules

The Philadelphia Police Department hopes the public will recognize the two men in just-released surveillance video from Monday mornings's robbery of a popular Manayunk restaurant.
The Couch Tomato Bistro, located on Rector Street, was the second location to be broken into within a 7-minute time span by the same two suspects.
These men initially broke into a Ridge Avenue Wash and Dry. The men were scared off by an alarm system and fled the scene.
Minutes later, these men broke into the Couch Tomato Bistro. They broke into cash registers and a safe. They made of with an undisclosed amount of cash.
These men are described as follows:
Suspect #1: White male, 30-40 years-of-age, stocky build, wearing a blue baseball cap, blue and gray zip up jacket, blue jeans and black and white sneakers. This suspect also has an unknown tattoo on the back of his neck just at the hair line.
Suspect #2: White male, 20 years-of-age, thin build, unshaven with goatee, blue baseball cap, blue zip up hooded jacket, dark pants and black sneakers. This suspect also walks with a hitch in his step.
Their vehicle is described as a late-model possible Dodge custom conversion van.

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
For Spice Mix
Combine first 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Add cold water to cover, then drain. Place spices in large wok or skillet. Dry-roast over medium-low heat until dry and fragrant, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to spice grinder. Add salt and mace; grind to fine powder. DO AHEAD Spice mix can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
For curry paste
Place chiles in small bowl; add cold water to cover. Let soak 30 minutes. Drain, reserving soaking liquid.
Combine cilantro stems, onion, garlic, galangal, and lemongrass in large wok or skillet. Dry-roast over medium heat until slightly charred and fragrant, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Add 3/4 cup water. Cover wok and cook until galangal is tender, about 35 minutes; cool in wok.
Scrape galangal mixture into processor. Add drained red chiles. Blend, adding enough reserved chile soaking liquid by tablespoonfuls to form smooth paste. Stir in spice mix. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 week ahead. Transfer to bowl, cover, and chill.
For beef
Preheat oven to 350°F. Char yellow chile directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and slice chile.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Add to pot; sear until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer beef to plate. Add coconut milk, cilantro stems, fish sauce, palm sugar, and lemongrass to same pot. Return beef to pot and bring to simmer. Cover and place pot in oven. Braise beef until tender enough to pull away from bone, about 2 1/2 hours. Transfer beef to plate and cool. Strain braising liquid from pot into bowl. Thinly slice meat.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add curry paste. Stir until heated and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups reserved braising liquid and bring to boil. Add roasted chile, tangerine juice, and crushed peanuts, then beef. Simmer until sauce coats beef, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer beef curry to shallow bowl. Garnish with whole peanuts and cilantro leaves. Drizzle with coconut cream.

The Civic Center's General Manager Jim Wetherington says he is optimistic there will still be hockey in Peoria next year.

text: How to Trim Baby Artichokes by Susannah Chen 6/07/11 0 Reactions 15 Shares Print 2 1 12 0 0 From exotic fiddlehead ferns to bright-green peas, there's a bevy of intriguing produce to appreciate during the short window of May and June, when greens and things are abloom all across the country. One can't-miss is the baby artichoke. Sure, we love its larger counterpart, but there's something incredibly precious about this mini version, which is so premature and tender that it's eaten whole, choke and all. Aside from keeping your eyes peeled for a rare sighting, the key to enjoying them during Spring is to trim them correctly, so they're free of any tough stems or leaves. New to doing this? Read ahead to become an instant baby artichoke expert. Start with a bowl of fresh baby artichokes. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Look for green or purple-tinted varieties that are firm, heavy, and consistent in size. We found a nice handful at Petaluma's McEvoy Ranch. 1 / 12 Clean the artichokes. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Wash the product under cold running water, rinsing in between the leaves without pulling them off. Turn them stem-side up and shake out excess water; blot with a clean, dry towel if necessary. 2 / 12 Get rid of the outer leaves . . . What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Using your fingers and working around the artichoke, peel off the outermost leaves, which will be too tough to eat. 3 / 12 . . . and don't be stingy about it! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't be relenting with this part; keep going until you've reached thin, tender, yellow- to pale green-colored leaves. 4 / 12 Tender leaves only What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The fruits of your patient labor will look something like this. Compost all the tough leaves. 6 / 12 Trimming tops and bottoms. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Trim off the stems, and cut a little less than one inch off the tops of the baby artichokes. 6 / 12 Almost there! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This is what the (semi) finished product should look like, free of tops and stems. 7 / 12 Trim around the bottom. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Run a paring knife along the sides of each artichoke bottom, getting rid of the thicker outer layer. 8 / 12 Halve the artichokes. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Using the same knife, halve the artichokes lengthwise. 9 / 12 Rub each artichoke with lemon. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 To prevent discoloration, rub the surface of each artichoke with the juice of a lemon wedge. 11 / 12 Soak in lemon water. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Put the artichokes in a bowl of water with lemon wedges to keep until you're ready to use them. 11 / 12 Ready to use! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Now you're ready to cook with them! I grilled them with a bit of chile-infused olive oil, salt, and pepper, until charred on one side, then served them alongside fire-roasted fava beans. 12 / 12 2 1 12 0 0 Read More Cooking EssentialsCooking BasicsBaby ArtichokesSlideshowHow-ToCooking TechniquesKnife SkillsArtichokesTips Cooking Basics From Genoa to Nduja: Your Salami Primer 21 hours ago This Watermelon Shark Will Make Your Jaw Drop 2 days ago How to Peel Tomatoes, in Pictures 4 days ago A Surefire Way to Determine How Much Heat a Jalapeño Is Packing 5 days ago Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, e Peperoncino 5 days ago The Only Way to Know When Grilled Meat Is Done 6 days ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

ACWORTH, Ga. (AP) - City leaders in Acworth say they're considering silencing its railroad crossings within the next two years.
The Marietta Daily Journal reported Saturday that city officials will spend the next six to seven months determining how to best approach the project.
Mayor Tommy Allegood says it will likely cost about $1.2 million to silence each of the city's five crossings. Officials say the conversions would be paid for in part by federal grants and with tax revenue.
Railroad officials say city leaders have discussed the project with them, but haven't filed a letter of intent to create the quiet zones.
City officials say work on the railroad crossings is expected to begin next summer and end by early 2015.
Acworth is about 35 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta.

The expansion of the Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills will continue this spring with the arrival of more new to market tenants.
Two of the newest names announced Monday include Wolford, an Austrian brand of high-end fashion leg and body wear, and Ippolita, an Italian jewelry brand found in luxury department stores.
Also, adding to the food offerings at the Colonnade will be Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar. The restaurant will be the first one for the brand in Florida, featuring gourmet burgers, salads, full bar, 18 wines by the glass and more.
These are the latest new tenants to be announced for the 40,000 foot expansion of the Colonnade, which is being built to the east of the Villagio restaurant and across from the existing retail structure. The new wing will also include the already announced opening of the first Diane Von Furstenberg and Robert Graham outlets in the market, as well as the relocation of the Gucci and Prada outlets that have already opened temporary locations at Sawgrass. Tenants will move in beginning in the spring.
The proven success of The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills continues to attract more of the best brands in the industry, said Luanne Lenberg, vice president and general manager at Sawgrass. With our third expansion since the opening of this luxury wing currently underway, we are adding even more market-exclusive stores, further solidifying Sawgrass Mills longstanding reputation as one of the most popular shopping destinations in the world.

Younes Kaboul, a man who over time has become admired by Spurs fans for his power and aggression on the pitch. Now in his second stint as a Spurs player the Jack of all trades Defender / Midfielder may have finally secured himself a spot in the starting 11 with the departure of Lane legend Ledley King.
Arriving from Auxerre in June 2007, Kaboul quickly endeared himself to the fans in the terraces with his confident, no nosense style of play. The French international played 29 times for the first team in his initial spell at Tottenham including a memorable performance against Aston Villa on October 1st 2007 in the club's 125th anniversary, with Spurs trailing 4-1 an incredible comeback was topped of with a stunning Kaboul equailizer deep into stoppage time. In a bit of a surprising move inAugust 2008, Portsmouth came calling for Kaboul and snagged the classy player up for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of 9.5 million. During his time on the South Coast, Younes Kaboul became a personal favourite of Harry Redknapp, the impression that that Kaboul left on 'Arry' would lead to his way back to Spurs in January 2010. Harry Redknapp never mixed his words when asked about Kaboul he always spoke very highly of the French international and on his return to the Lane in 2010 Harry stated that Kaboul "was much improved from his original spell at White Hart Lane" and that Kaboul was a "late developer".
Since first arriving at Spurs from Auxerre in 2008 I have watched and followed the career of Kaboul closely, and was greatly saddened when he left for Portsmouth in 2008. But upon his return I can see that his time away was good for him on a professional level. Ever since returning to the Lane in 2010 Kaboul has become a far more reliable, intelligent footballer that has lead to him becoming a regular first team member instead of a (short-fix solution). On both a Club and International level Kaboul's game has progressed in recent years, Kaboul's has now earned 5 full international caps for his country including a cracking goal against Ukraine in a friendly on June 6th 2012.
The 6ft 3in (1.90m) physically imposing French International Younes Kaboul, is in my opinion a immensely talented 26 year Who has not peaked just yet, I think its conceivably possible that Younes Kaboul's best footballing years are still in front of him. After impressing AVB in limited time this off-season, maybe 2012 is the best chance that Younes has had to secure a full time first team spot. And as a Younes Kaboul fan and a equally devoted Spurs fan I hope he can cerment a spot in the starting squad under the AVB revolution.

Cheryl Holden
Head Coach
BA, Education, Central Washington University
MA, Management, Antioch University-McGregor
Head women's basketball coach Cheryl Holden enters her 13th season at CBC. Holden's career record of 241-113 (.681 win percentage) includes four East Region Championships and three NWAACC Championships in 2005, 2008, and 2012. She was named the East Region and NWAACC Coach of the Year after all three championship seasons.
Since arriving at CBC, Holden's teams have qualified for the NWAACC Championship Tournament eight times. In 2005, she led the team to its first East Region Championship in more than a decade. She has elevated the women's basketball program to new heights in her 12 years at the College.
In 2008, the CBC women's basketball team put together the most successful season in school history. The Hawks went 14-0 in the East Region and 28-3 overall, losing to only one NWAACC affiliated team all season. CBC went nearly uncontested during the NWAACC Championship Tournament to earn a title game against Eastern Region foe Spokane CC. The Hawks used their stingy defense to guide them to a 49-37 victory. The Hawks set a school record with their 28 wins that season, including an 18-game winning streak to end the season.
In 2012, Holden's Hawks won back-to-back East Region titles for the first time in program history and nearly ran the table during conference play, posting a 13-1 record. The Hawks' 29-2 overall mark was the best season in program history, capped by a 60-59 title game victory over region-rival Yakima Valley.
According to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association, the 2004-05 Hawks also ranked fifth in the nation among junior and community colleges with a 3.245 GPA. In 2006, the women achieved an even greater grade point average of 3.398. In 2009, the women were ranked ninth in the nation with a 3.115 team GPA.
During her 12-year tenure, Holden has helped 14 players move on to the four-year level including six from the 2008 championship squad. In 2007, Holden's team finished 21-10 placing second in the East Region and seventh at the NWAACC Tournament. In 2005, the Hawks put up an impressive season as they won the NWAACC Championship. Holden was named the NWAACC Coach of the Year and the Eastern Region Coach of the Year for the first time in her career after guiding the Hawks to a record of 26-6.
Holden came to CBC from West Valley High School in Yakima. In 2001, she led the Rams to their first state championship in school history. Her five-year record was 117-21 (.847 winning percentage), and ranks her among the best in Mid-Valley League history.
Coach Holden has a Master's degree in Arts and Management from Antioch University-McGregor. She also works as the Director for High School Programs at CBC.
Daron Santo
Assistant Coach
BS, Biology, Washington State University
Daron Santo enters his fourth year as the women's assistant basketball coach at CBC. Prior to his appointment at CBC, Santo was the Head Girl's Basketball Coach at Prosser High School from 1999 to 2008. After taking over the Prosser program in 1999 and building from a 3-18 record, his teams' record improved each year including four straight seasons of 17 wins or more in his final four years at Prosser. Santo led the Mustangs to 7th- and 3rd-place finishes at State in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Santo was the Boy's Varsity Assistant Coach for Prosser during the 2009-10 season before arriving at CBC.
Coach Santo has a Bachelor's degree in Biology and currently works as a lab technician in agricultural research. Santo is also a USPTA certified tennis pro and lettered in tennis at Yakima Valley Community College and Washington State University.
Lacey Young
Assistant Coach
Lacey Young enters her second year as an assistant basketball coach for the Hawks after a stellar career at CBC. The Middleton, Idaho native won an Idaho State Basketball Championship as a senior before being recruited to play at Columbia Basin.
Coach Young played two years under current coaches Cheryl Holden and Daron Santo. She was an integral part of back-to-back Eastern Region Championship teams in 2011 and 2012. Her 2011 team finished third at the NWAACC Championships, while her sophomore campaign ended with the program's third NWAACC Championship since 2005.
Coach Young says "I'm excited to learn more from this experience. Coaches Holden and Santo were two of the best I've ever had, and this experience gives me a whole new perspective on the game. As someone who recently went through this program I have a little different connection to the players."

Acceptance Test-Driven Development
I am halfway through reading Growing object-oriented software, guided by tests, a book that teaches Test-Driven Development in a Java environment. A review will come soon, since the process described in this work is really language-agnostic and interesting also for php developers.
However, the book's authors introduce a very productive practice, which consists in a double cycle of TDD:
- a longer cycle, where you write acceptance (aka end-to-end) tests, deriving them from the user stories or formal requirements, and make them pass;
- a shorter cycle contained in the first, which happens in the
phase when an acceptance test is red: you write unit tests and
make them pass until the related acceptance test does not fail anymore.
This approach is an implementation of Acceptance Test-Driven Development, and in particular makes you write several unit tests for every acceptance test (read for every feature) you want to add. Acceptance testing gives immediate feedback on the application's external qualities: simplicity of use and setup, consistency of the interface. At the same time, unit testing gives feedback on the internal qualities: decoupling, cohesion, encapsulation.
When I started employing the double cycle, getting in the zone suddenly became less difficult. The advantages of the TDD process were for the first time applied to the whole process, from the requirements formalization to the end of a feature's development:
- test-first paradigm. By the end of the development phase, regression tests will be already in place, and the production code will be forced to be testable.
- The definition of "done" is very clear (the acceptance test passes), and you are more likely to write only the mandatory code to get a green bar at the higher level.
- measuring progress is easy: the number of acceptance tests that are satisfied (weighted by points). You can even write a set of acceptance tests for the whole iteration in advance and keep them in a separate suite, moving them in the main suite when they start to pass.
To be a bit more specific, the php technologies I use for the two cycles of development are Zend_Test for the acceptance tests suite and plain old PHPUnit test cases for the unit tests one.
Zend_Test is an extension to PHPUnit that lets me define a contract for the http interface of a Zend Framework application, assert redirects, check parts of the html response via css selectors, and even falsify request headers to simulate ajax requests. The unit tests usually have no dependencies on a particular infrastructure, so PHPUnit itself is a powerful enough tool to write them with.
By the way, triting an automated acceptance test suite is more difficult than writing unit tests, as there is more infrastructure that gets in the way and a large amount of details that may render the tests brittle. Fortunately Zend_Test takes care of almost all the infrastructure (aside from the database, which I reset in the setUp phase of test cases), and acceptance tests code can and should be refactored to avoid duplication of the implementation details. For instance, Css selectors used to assert on parts of the html response can be stored in constants with an expressive name, and the request creation can be wrapped in helper methods that are composed in actual test ones. Also custom made assertions are helpful in keeping the noise to a minimum.
I hope this technique will be useful for all test-infected developers. It certainly enhanced my productivity and will to get a green bar. :)

when you say "write a unit test" what you are probably saying is "write an integration test with *unit" (JUnit, PHPUnit, NUnit, etc...).
Remember, a unit test ONLY tests a SINGLE unit. If I write a JUnit test that calls a DAO that calls a DB, it is an integration test, because I've introduced a second layer (the DB). If I write a JUnit test that calls a business logic method that calls a dao (but the DB is stubbed out), it is STILL an integration test. Why? Because I'm running a test on the BL layer, but introducing the DAO layer (even though the DB is stubbed out). A true unit test is a test that runs a method on the BL layer, with the DAO layer stubbed out. That way, the test is ONLY the BL call.
After that, I'd say that acceptance tests and unit tests are two very separate and somewhat unrelated practices.
I tend to write unit tests as I code, then write integration tests (in a whole separate package than my unit tests) that test the requirement, use case, or user story. They both have an end to the same mean, and can be written in parallel, but I don't like the idea of tying them together...
Just my thoughts.
Giorgio Sironi replied on Thu, 2010/03/11 - 4:04pm in response to: Josh Marotti
You're right about *unit* testing, and in fact writing real unit tests is exactly what I mean.
The idea is starting with an acceptance test that will define when you're done with the code, and then with the unit test of the component at the highest-level, stubbing out its collaborators. Then you can repeat the process with the collaborators, and so on. When you're done with single units, you link them together in a factory or DI container and make the acceptance/whole_integration test pass. Of course you can introduce middle-scale tests (functional) that test different object graphs, if that makes you locate integration problems faster.
László Jánszky replied on Sat, 2014/04/26 - 9:02am
I don't get it. As far as I know acceptance test means that the user tests the final product whether it meets her requirements or not. What you meant was system integration test or end to end test in other words. And the list of tests can be much longer:
user story (examples of how the system should work) -> use cases (system rules) -> e2e tests (system wide integration tests inspired by the use cases) -> integration tests against component relations -> integration tests against module relations -> integration tests against class relations -> unit tests against individual classes
Btw. I never tried to develop a project like this, I am too lazy to write e2e tests, but now with nightwatch.js it seems to be an easy task... Maybe I'll try it out...

Jakarta. They came to commemorate the 40th anniversary of one the most intensive massacres in human history. Not many, but at least some 50 or 60 people came. Of all places in Jakarta they gathered in the modest complex of German cultural centre – Goethe Haus. There was a poetry reading, theatre, talk show with the greatest Indonesian author Pramoedya Ananta Toer.
40 years ago – on the night of September 30th and October 1st – Indonesian military backed by the West grabbed power, sidelining progressive President Sukarno and unleashing campaign of terror in which between 500 thousand and 3 million people vanished.
Killing was performed by both military and ordinary citizens in all major cities of Indonesia as well as in the countryside. Victims were members of PKI (Indonesian Communist Party – 40 years ago the third largest in the world), members of Chinese minority, atheists, and Christians. "Military right-wing coup", say some; "Religious and ethnic cleansing on massive scale", say others.
During Suharto's dictatorship, all alternative views were banned and so were Chinese language and culture, atheism, and Marxism. Young generations were told that in 1965 Communists attempted to stage the coup and the heroic Indonesian military intervened and saved the nation.
40 years after that terrible event, Indonesians are suffering from political apathy and fear to look back. There are some reasons for it: almost no family in Java is blameless; each has its skeleton in the closet. Some have both victims and victimizers in their ranks. In the culture of obedience and fear almost nobody dares to revisit the past and search for the truth.
Mass media (local and foreign) refused to cover the anniversary. No politically motivated demonstrations are rocking the capital city. Today's Indonesia doesn't need government censorship – writers and thinkers censor themselves – too afraid of oppressive religious, family, and society structures which are silencing dissidents without almost any need for intervention from the state.
Majority of Indonesians see history as irrelevant. Unusually low level of education (even by the regional standards) and intensive religious indoctrination prevent the great majority of citizens from pursuing independent thoughts. To analyze differently from established norms is strongly discouraged and may lead to excommunication or something worse.
For many men and women of this country there is simply no time for history; present problems are too overwhelming. The country is basically collapsing – it has become a failed state.
Infrastructure is in total decay – there are no highways connecting major Indonesian cities except an insufficient and expensive 140km stretch between Jakarta and Bandung. Railways, ports, airports and telecommunications are an absolute disgrace, so are schools and hospitals.
Only 20 to 30 percent of urban dwellers have access to running water (lesser than in India) and its quality, after privatization, nosedived while prices went up. The country is a major exporters of child prostitutes. Beggars, as young as five, can be seen on all major intersections in Jakarta and elsewhere.
More than half of the population lives on less than 2 dollars a day; most of Indonesia's citizens lack basic sanitation. Cities, due to corruption and mismanagement, became unplanned nightmarish sprawls, Jakarta being the most polluted capital in Asia, after Dhaka. As there is almost no public transportation, many people in the capital have to commute up to 3 hours each way, breathing poisonous carbon-dioxide and other pollutants.
Corruption is omnipresent, on a level unknown anywhere else in this part of the world. Government officials are openly stealing money from meager projects intended to help the poor. Powerful and competing military and police are enjoying complete impunity. Just to illustrate the situation, police in Jakarta will not begin to investigate car theft, unless paid a bribe of 2.000 USD in the country where GDP per capita stands around 700 USD a year.
Intolerance is on the rise. While Indonesia reached limited agreement in Aceh, it is still implementing violence in Papua, basically occupied territory. The country had been formed along the geographic boundaries of Dutch colonial empire in Southeast Asia. Decision to form Indonesia had been taken in 1940s by the elites; there was no plebiscite.
Ryaas Rasyid, former Minister of Decentralization, claims that Indonesia is in such a miserable state that it may soon fall apart, splitting into at least 9 independent states, while plunging into a brutal civil war. "Java is acting like a colonial power", he explained. "If they would be allowed to do so, many islands, including Bali, would opt for independence."
The Muslim religion (80 to 85 percent of the population) is taking grip on the country. Hundreds of Catholic and Protestant churches are burned and vandalized every year; religious minorities are living in fear. Atheism is still banned – each citizen has to choose one of five "officially permitted religions." Religious indoctrination which allows no alternative views is on the rise.
That is the state of Indonesia 40 years after the coup. The most disheartening part is that there are no positive changes on the horizon. NGOs are disorganized, often commercially oriented; lacking unity and common goals. The fourth most populous nation on earth, Indonesia is not capable of giving birth to strong opposition leaders, writers, filmmakers, or thinkers. During our conversation in New York, Dan Simon – editor of the Seven Stories Press – declared that once Pramoedya Ananta Toer (the most important Indonesian novelist and former prisoner of conscience) dies, the last intellectual bridge between Indonesia and the rest of the world will collapse.
On October 1st, under pressure from foreign businesses, government raised dramatically prices of gasoline and cooking oil, promising meager compensations for the very poor (families whose members live on much lesser than 1USD a day). Exhausted Indonesian citizens managed to organize just a few limited demonstrations protesting the move which will further reduce their standard of living.
There was not one demonstration commemorating the coup; protesting against the loss and destruction of millions of human lives in 1965 and in the following years. Needless to say – almost all roots of the current Indonesian nightmare can be traced to that event.
On the same day – October 1st – religious suicide bombers blew up 3 restaurants in Bali, killing over 20 people in an attempt to scare off foreigners who, from the extreme religious point of view, represent unwelcome diversity in this country which is becoming increasingly locked in itself; intellectually castrated.
40th anniversary of the terrible slaughter and destruction of Indonesian nation went unmarked and unreported. The great majority of Indonesian citizens accepted official lies and propaganda. The elites pretended that they don't know and are hoping that past will eventually disappear, as those few survivors of torture and concentration camps are becoming too old to speak.
But the past never disappears; it forms foundations of present Indonesia; it is underneath almost everything that is now happening in this country; its immoral path which terrorizes minorities, despises the poor, and eliminates compassion. The only way forward would be to destroy the whole structure and begin anew; with an open mind and without fear.

Alonso breaks all-time Lyndhurst girls basketball scoring record in win over Leonia
Lyndhurst girls basketball head coach Perrin Mosca figured her senior center Camila Alonso would need to put up some big numbers if there was any hope of her reaching a thousand points this season.
"We figured out that she needed to score about 19 points a game the rest of the way," said Mosca. But after Thursday's game at home against Leonia, Alonso's drive for a thousand points is not as daunting.
The senior tallied 46 points in the 73-40 win over Leonia in the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference Liberty Division battle. She has 65 points with five games remaining in the regular season to reach the thousand-point mark.
Not only did Alonso have a monumental game, but she broke the Lyndhurst High School girls basketball mark set of 45 by Dawn Johnson in the early 1990's. Johnson, who like Alonso played center for the Lady Golden Bears, would later go on to play basketball at Seton Hall University.
"She (Alonso) just had an insane game," said Mosca who added that the senior center also had 13 rebounds and eight steals in the win. "She was even being double and tripled teamed."
Alonso hit 21 of 27 from the field and had 25 points in the first half before reaching the 46-point when she was taken out of the game with three minutes remaining. The next highest in the game for the Golden Bears was Dana Halligan with seven points. In addition to the win over Leonia, the Lady Golden Bears defeated Emerson, 46-30, on Feb. 5.
The Lady Golden Bears took control from the start against Emerson and inched away throughout the game. Lyndhurst led 22-13 at halftime. Golden Bears top scorer Camila Alonso had another big night this time with a game-high 25 points. Lexus Lopez was the other Lyndhurst player in double figures with 14 points.
Rutherford girls hoops rebounded After from a difficult loss to Garfield on Feb. 5 with a 43-30 victory at Hawthorne last Thursday.
After going down 6-3 in the first quarter, the Lady Bulldogs would turn the tables and lead by halftime 13-11. Freshman Jessica Rogers led Rutherford with 13 points while Mikaela Scanlon adding eight points and Alexandra Paskas chipping in seven points as Rutherford raised its record to 12-8.
St. Mary has been getting more balanced scoring in the second half of the year. The Gaels received a dozen points from Rebecca Levy and Samantha Tello in the 40-28 win at Weehawken on Feb. 5 in the NJIC Meadowlands Division contest.
For Becton they jumped out to a 12-1 lead after the first quarter at Wood-Ridge and thought that they would get another NJIC Meadowlands Division victory.
But the Lady Wildcats fortunes went south after that and Becton saw a 35-25 lead goes up in smoke in the fourth quarter. The Lady Wildcats dropped a 46-41 decision to the Lady Blue Devils. Samantha Freola had 11 points for Becton, but the Wildcats did not have another player in double figures.
State playoffs
The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association announced the seedings for the state basketball playoffs that start at the end of this month. This was the first season for basketball that they utilized a power point system based on strength of schedule.
Both Lyndhurst and Rutherford received top seven seeds in Group 2 North 2 state sectional. The Lady Golden Bears garnered the sixth seed in the sectional and will host 11th-seeded Snyder on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. A Lyndhurst victory will have the Golden Bears take on the victor of 14th-seeded-third-seeded Hanover Park on Feb. 27.
Rutherford is the seventh seed and will host 10th-seeded Orange on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. A Lady Bulldogs victory will have Rutherford take on 15th-seeded Ft. Lee-second-seeded Lincoln victor on Feb. 27.
In Group 1 North 2 North Arlington is the 13th seed and will travel to fourth-seeded Dunellen on Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. A Lady Vikings upset will have North Arlington travel to the winner of 12th-seeded Arts-fifth-seeded Dayton on Feb. 28.
Becton will play its third game of the season against NJIC Meadowlands Division rival, Hasbrouck Heights, on Feb. 26. The Wildcats are the 13th seed and travel to fourth-seeded Aviators. If Becton pulls off the upset they would take on the winner of 12th-seeded Sussex Tech-fifth-seeded Cresskill on Feb. 28 in the second round.
While losing both games to the Aviators, they were both close including the 42-41 loss at Hasbrouck Heights on Dec. 20. Becton would lose at home to the Aviators, 44-38, on Jan. 31 as Heights outscored the Wildcats, 16-4, in the fourth quarter.

A full schedule after a lockout-truncated season, a new divisional setup, outdoor games galore, the Chicago Blackhawks seeking their third Stanley Cup in five years. Those are all very nice story lines for the NHL season. But make no mistake, much of the season will be about the Winter Olympics.
The Sochi Games will cast a long shadow over the season, until Feb. 9, when the NHL pauses to allow nearly 150 players to fly to Russia for the 12-day tournament. If those dozen days produce anything like the 2010 men's tournament in Vancouver, which was capped by Sidney Crosby scoring the golden goal for Canada against the United States, it will be well worth the wait.
The Olympic question will hang over every NHL game. Will the Sabres' Ryan Miller rebound from three middling seasons to tend goal again for the United States, or will it be the Kings' Jonathan Quick? Who will man the nets for the Canadians: Roberto Luongo, Corey Crawford, Carey Price or Cam Ward? Can Crosby stay healthy to play for Canada, and can his Penguins teammate Evgeni Malkin stay healthy to play for Russia? When NHL play resumes on Feb. 26, it will be back to hockey as usual: the home stretch, the playoffs and the Stanley Cup finals, making this a season of two climaxes. Here is a look at some of the stories to follow.
New Coaches
Canadians call Vancouver Lotus Land because, supposedly, it's so laid-back. But the city has been the scene of plenty of civil disturbances over the past two decades, including two riots having to do with the Canucks.
So, it seems, Vancouverites take their hockey as seriously as does John Tortorella, who signed a five-year deal in June to coach the Canucks. Throw in the highly contentious Vancouver hockey news media, a citywide 24/7 obsession with the game Tortorella never experienced as head coach in New York or Tampa and Tortorella's own tripwire temper, and you have the recipe for a perfect storm.
He was on good behavior when the Rangers visited for an exhibition game last week, but do not count on that lasting. He has already demanded that his players stop using their Twitter accounts, which just happens to be something Luongo, the Canucks goalie, is famous for.
"I think it's stupid," Tortorella said last month.
Other new coaches to watch: Rangers coach Alain Vigneault, the former Canucks coach, is as good-natured as Tortorella is hair-triggered; Patrick Roy, in his first NHL coaching job, takes over the Colorado Avalanche, whom he led to two Stanley Cups as a goaltender; Lindy Ruff, the former Sabres coach, is now in Dallas after he protested long and loud that the Stars beat Buffalo for the Stanley Cup on an illegal goal in 1999; and Dallas Eakins makes his NHL coaching debut with a young Edmonton team of unfulfilled promise.
New Uniforms
The Columbus Blue Jackets made the biggest catch of the offseason when they signed free agent wing Nathan Horton from the Boston Bruins. Horton has scored 402 points in 562 NHL regular-season games, but more important are his 36 points in 43 playoff games during the Bruins' Stanley Cup run in 2011 and their finals appearance last spring.
Now ensconced in the East, the Blue Jackets, behind their president for hockey operations, John Davidson, are making a run at respectability. They have former Rangers sniper Marian Gaborik, reigning Vezina Trophy goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and now, a playoff hero in Horton. All they have to do is make the playoffs, something they have done only once in 12 seasons. They just missed last season, finishing ninth in the West.
Other key players putting on new sweaters: Tyler Seguin (Stars, from Bruins), Jaromir Jagr (Devils, from Bruins), Cory Schneider (Devils, from Canucks), Jarome Iginla (Bruins, from Penguins), Bobby Ryan (Senators, from Ducks), Daniel Alfredsson (Red Wings, from Senators), Valtteri Filppula (Lightning, from Red Wings), Vincent Lecavalier (Flyers, from Lightning), Tim Thomas (Panthers, from a year off).
New Divisions
The NHL restructured its divisions to allow Detroit and Columbus to move to the Eastern Conference and Winnipeg to move to the West. The shuffling eases the travel burden on Western teams and adds some longer trips for the Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Flyers and Penguins.
Now those five teams are joined by the Blue Jackets, Capitals and Hurricanes in the Metropolitan Division. But for sheer hockey gravitas, there is the new Atlantic Division: Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Boston, Buffalo and Ottawa, and for all their snowbird fans in the Sunshine State, Florida and Tampa Bay.
New Rules
Players will be penalized an additional two minutes if they take off their helmets to fight, so in a preseason game Krys Barch, then of the Devils, and Brett Gallant of the Islanders resorted to the genteel Western Hockey League custom of coming together to take off each other's helmets before rearing back and throwing punches. Gallant said, "I wasn't trying to make a mockery of the NHL." The loophole was subsequently closed.
Players will also get a two-minute penalty if their sweaters are tucked into their pads. Presumably this will keep the labels of nonlicensee companies off NHL telecasts, but it will ruin the on-ice silhouette of Ovechkin, who, like Wayne Gretzky before him, tucks his sweater in. Ovechkin's opinion of the rule: "Everybody wants to do his own thing. It's stupid."
Most significant, the players' association voted Monday to allow the implementation of hybrid icing as a way to cut down on dangerous races for the puck. Many players said they were confused by the rule during the preseason trial period, but they approved the change anyway. The problem: the most dangerous high-speed races into the end boards will not be eliminated by the rule.
New Classics?
Maybe the New Year's Day Winter Classic had lost some of its novelty, and maybe it hadn't. But six outdoor stadium extravaganzas on tap will make up some of the revenue lost in last season's lockout.
In addition to the Winter Classic game between the Red Wings and the Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor (expected attendance, 105,000), outdoor games will be staged at balmy Dodger Stadium, Yankee Stadium (twice), Soldier Field in Chicago and B.C. Place in Vancouver.
Dates to Circle
Warm and Fuzzy Department: Teemu Selanne's farewell visit to Winnipeg (Ducks at Jets, Oct. 6); coach Lindy Ruff's return to Buffalo (Stars at Sabres, Oct. 28); Rick Nash's return to Columbus (Rangers at Blue Jackets, Nov. 7).
Media Circus Department: Tim Thomas reacquaints himself with Boston reporters (Panthers at Bruins, Nov. 7); John Tortorella charms New York (Canucks at Rangers, Nov. 30); Daniel Alfredsson faces jilted Ottawa fans (Red Wings at Senators, Dec. 1).
War of 1812 Redux Department: The preseason line brawl between the Sabres and the Maple Leafs had a bit of everything: Phil Kessel swinging his stick at John Scott, David Clarkson leaving the bench, goalies Ryan Miller and Jonathan Bernier throwing punches, an unusual fine for Buffalo coach Ron Rolston. Buffalo and Toronto will meet five times in the regular season, just in time to mark 200 years since both villages were burned in a previous bout of cross-border nastiness (Nov. 15, 16 and 29, Dec. 27, Jan. 15).

"We can't wait to use our address labels for this year's Christmas cards! It is a lovely design - reminds us of a Hawaiian quilt pattern."
"I love the art of hand-writing notes and am a sucker for address labels. I purchased many from Tiny Prints and this is my favorite by far! The colors are so rich and warm. I will certainly be ordering more!"

There is a great air of mystery surrounding classical performers, at least to me. What are they thinking if they're not actually playing? What are they thinking when they are playing? What do they do during intermission? Did that poor woman have to lug that harp to the concert hall on the subway?
Colin Eatock provides a short but informative piece for The Globe and Mail that answers at least some of these questions for an opera orchestra. Keep in mind that, in an opera, the orchestra is hidden, much like at a musical. It's all about the people on the stage—but it couldn't happen without the people in the pit. And the people in the pit have their own perspective on things: "It soon becomes apparent that an opera looks quite different to an orchestral player than it does to the audience. Some of the violins have a partial view of the action, whenever a singer comes to the edge of the stage. But there may well be players in the woodwind section who have never seen an opera in their lives, so completely is their view obscured."
