|New Animal Health Center
The new Animal Health Center provides staff with state-of-the-art equipment, a laboratory, sterile surgery rooms, an X-ray room, a pharmacy, treatment rooms, quarantine areas, a library and offices. It also includes new outdoor animal quarantine areas large enough to hold a two-humped camel.
The new 18,000-square-foot Animal Health Center features the Holz Family Foundation Learning Zone designed by the Zoological Society Creative Department and made possible with a major gift from the Jerry and Dorothy Holz Family Foundation. This interactive area allows visitors to explore medical diagnosis, animal heartbeats, and health exams for the Zoo's animals. The area includes a public viewing area allowing you to look directly into the surgery and treatment areas. Signage, a diorama, displays and a video provide information on what veterinarians and other health-care providers do at the Zoo.
|Macaque Island
Macaque Island (formerly called Monkey Island) is a longtime favorite of Zoo visitors. The remodeled exhibit features a covered observation deck that puts visitors and staff closer to the monkeys on a shaded overlook filled with benches. Here you can discover what it feels like to be a field scientist, sitting for minutes or hours watching the antics and social dynamics of the Japanese macaques. The new off-scenes monkey quarters allow the animals to go indoors whenever they want. The indoor area corrects previous infrastructure concerns, making it easier for zookeepers to care for the monkeys and watch for any health problems.
Our vision is to create an even more exciting, engaging experience for all Zoo visitors and to move the education and conservation programs forward. We are asking for your support in helping us to ensure that future generations will have an interactive, educational, and enjoyable Zoo environment.
The Miller Brewing Company Giraffe Experience
The most exciting part of the new exhibit is the wooden deck that allows you to venture into the giraffe yard at the height of the animals. At the end of this deck is a feeding platform from which a limited number of Zoo visitors can feed the giraffes (for a fee) during the summer season. The renovation also has enlarged the giraffes' yard, created an enriching and naturalistic environment, and improved the behind-the-scenes areas, making it easier for zookeepers to care for these tallest of Zoo animals. A new, heated indoor exhibit area with skylights means zoogoers can visit the giraffes in winter in comfort rather than brave chilly winds in the previous weather-exposed viewing area. The indoor exhibit no longer has a glass wall separating visitors from the giraffes – just a cable fence and a railing. The exhibit also features a video showing how a giraffe is born, how the animals are moved in and out of the building, and how staff do health exams.
Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country
The new building features a flowing walkway through new exhibits and expanded areas for African predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas. A Siberian forest exhibit lets you get within inches of the world's largest cat: the Amur (Siberian) tiger. A rain-forest exhibit allows you to view the Central American jaguar in the type of habitat it loves. And an outdoor snow-leopard yard gives you the feel of the rocky expanses where these gorgeous creatures reside. We've created more stimulating animal habitats, which will encourage breeding among these highly endangered animals.
The outdoor area at the south end of the Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country features not only the snow-leopard exhibit but also gardens, the Birch Creek Trail, a red-panda exhibit and sculptures of Florence Mila Borchert and her son, Bill Borchert Larson, who made the major gift to the feline building. The experience—both indoors and out—is of getting back to nature. The animals are in more natural settings, and you are separated from them by only a layer of glass, allowing you to come nose to nose with the cats.
Stroll out over an African savanna and watch graceful impalas and gazelles graze. With a new observation deck that extends right into the impala and bongo yards, zoogoers can get a much closer view of these antelope. Thanks to the Jerry and Dorothy Holz Family Foundation, visitors can feel almost as if they are on safari. The left (south) side of the observation deck has a thatched roof from which you can observe the Zoo's bongos (large, forest-dwelling antelope). The right (north) side of the deck overlooks the smaller, grassland antelope: impalas and gazelles, which often leap around their savanna or butt into large tortoises sharing the space.

Hello, I was wondering, has anyone here tried using WAV files of size smaller than 2500k on a Nokia 7650?
Ive found that if you use files smaller than that, they dont play properly. Sometimes the beginning part of the file is played, but mostly you just get a click. This doesnt happen in the emulator (Series 60 Concept SDK 0.3 Beta), only on an actual Nokia 7650. Sound files larger than 3000k seem to always play fine.
The files Im using are 8 bit, Mono, 11025hz
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

House Republicans put off vote on 'Plan B' after failing to rally enough support
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Confronted with a revolt among the rank and file, House Republicans abruptly scrapped a vote Thursday night on legislation allowing tax rates to rise for households earning $1 million and up, complicating attempts to avoid a year-end "fiscal cliff" that threatens to send the economy into recession.
The legislation "did not have sufficient support from our members to pass," Speaker John Boehner conceded in a brief statement. At the same time he challenged President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to work on legislation to avoid across-the-board tax increases and deep spending cuts due to take effect in less than two weeks.
"The Senate must now act," said the Ohio Republican, who has noted recently that he has taken risks in supporting higher tax revenues during several weeks of fruitless negotiations on the fiscal cliff.
In a statement released a short while later, the White House said the president's "main priority is to ensure that taxes don't go up on 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small businesses in just a few short days. The president will work with Congress to get this done and we are hopeful that we will be able to find a bipartisan solution quickly that protects the middle class and our economy."
Reid's office sounded a more combative note. "The only way to avoid the cliff altogether is for Speaker Boehner to return to negotiations and work with President Obama and the Senate to forge a bipartisan deal," spokesman Adam Jentleson said.
Despite hot political rhetoric, Obama and Boehner 'cliff' differences aren't really so great
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Despite all the hot fiscal cliff rhetoric, the differences between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner seem relatively narrow. So why haven't they shaken hands already? One answer: Both sides need to keep -- or get -- their own troops behind them.
In their cliff standoff, Obama wants to raise taxes by about $20 billion a year more than Boehner. The two men differ over spending cuts by roughly the same amount.
That's real money by most measures. Yet such numbers are barely noticeable compared to the $2.6 trillion the government is projected to collect next year, and to the $3.6 trillion it's expected to spend.
As the "cliff" approaches -- economy-shaking tax increases and spending cuts that start hitting in early January unless lawmakers act first -- each side says the other isn't being serious enough about trimming federal deficits. But their inability so far to strike a compromise underscores that their problem is more than arithmetic -- it's also about the difficult politics that Democrat Obama and Republican Boehner face when it comes to lining up votes.
Chastened by Obama's re-election, Boehner has violated a quarter-century of Republican dogma by offering to raise taxes, including boosting income tax rates on earnings exceeding $1 million annually. Eager for a budget deal that would let him move on to other issues, Obama in turn would cut the growth of Social Security benefits, usually off-limits to Democrats. He also would impose tax increases on a broader swath of people than millionaires -- those with incomes over $400,000. But that figure, too, is a retreat from what he campaigned on: the $200,000 income ceiling on individuals and $250,000 on couples.
10 Things to Know for Friday
Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and stories that will be talked about Friday:
Facing a revolt by the rank and file, House Republicans scuttle plans to vote on the so-called Plan B, a proposal to avoid the "fiscal cliff."
First responders at Conn. school massacre carry heavy burdens as town buries dead, moves on
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- While the people of Newtown do their best to cope with loss and preserve the memories of their loved ones, another class of residents is also finding it difficult to move on: the emergency responders who saw firsthand the terrible aftermath of last week's school shooting.
Firefighter Peter Barresi was driving through Newtown on Friday when police cars with lights flashing and sirens blaring raced toward his oldest son's elementary school. After he was sent to Sandy Hook school himself, he saw things that will stay with him forever.
With anguished parents searching for their children, he prepared to receive the wounded, but a paramedic came back empty-handed, underscoring the totality of the massacre. Barresi, whose own son escaped unharmed, later discovered that among the 26 dead were children who played baseball with his son and had come to his house for birthday parties.
"For some of us, it's fairly difficult," said Barresi, of the Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire and Rescue Co. "Fortunately most of us did not go in."
Newtown and environs weathered a fourth day of funerals Thursday, six days after a 20-year-old gunman killed his mother at home, 20 children and six adults at the school and himself for reasons still unknown. Mourners laid to rest Catherine Hubbard, Benjamin Wheeler, Jesse Lewis and Allison Wyatt, all 6 years old; and Grace McDonnell, 7.
Teachers carry concealed weapons in tiny Texas town as national school safety debate heats up
HARROLD, Texas (AP) -- In this tiny Texas town, children and their parents don't give much thought to safety at the community's lone school -- mostly because some of the teachers are carrying concealed weapons.
In remote Harrold, the nearest sheriff's office is 30 minutes away, and people tend to know -- and trust -- one another. So the school board voted to let teachers bring guns to school.
"We don't have money for a security guard, but this is a better solution," Superintendent David Thweatt said. "A shooter could take out a guard or officer with a visible, holstered weapon, but our teachers have master's degrees, are older and have had extensive training. And their guns are hidden. We can protect our children."
In the awful aftermath of last week's Connecticut elementary school shooting, lawmakers in a growing number of states -- including Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota and Oregon -- have said they will consider laws allowing teachers and school administrators to carry firearms at school.
Texas law bans guns in schools unless the school has given written authorization. Arizona and six other states have similar laws with exceptions for people who have licenses to carry concealed weapons.
In Mexico, New Agers say end of Mayan calendar will herald 'cosmic dawn,' not end of world
MERIDA, Mexico (AP) -- Doomsday hour is here, at least in much of the world, and so still are we.
According to legend, the ancient Mayans' long-count calendar ends at midnight Thursday, ushering in the end of the world.
Didn't happen.
"This is not the end of the world. This is the beginning of the new world," Star Johnsen-Moser, an American seer, said at a gathering of hundreds of spiritualists at a convention center in the Yucatan city of Merida, an hour and a half from the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza.
"It is most important that we hold a positive, beautiful reality for ourselves and our planet. ... Fear is out of place."
Storm dumps foot of snow in Midwest, leaves some travelers scrambling days before Christmas
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- The first widespread snowstorm of the season plodded across the Midwest on Thursday, as whiteout conditions sent drivers sliding over slick roads and some travelers were forced to scramble for alternate ways to get to their holiday destinations.
The storm, which dumped a foot of snow in parts of Iowa and more than 19 inches in Wisconsin state capital, was part of a system that began in the Rockies earlier in the week before trekking into the Midwest. It was expected to move across the Great Lakes overnight before moving into Canada.
The storm led airlines to cancel about 1,000 flights ahead of the Christmas holiday -- relatively few compared to past big storms, though the number was climbing.
Most of the canceled flights were at Chicago's O'Hare and Midway international airports. At O'Hare, many people were taking the cancellations in stride and the normally busy airport was much quieter than normal Thursday evening.
Aprielle Kugler said she was considering taking a bus to Des Moines on Friday morning to visit her boyfriend after she had two flights canceled out of O'Hare. Sitting on top of her luggage, the 18-year-old from Wisconsin said her mom shoveled more than a foot of snow out of the family's driveway that morning to drive her to Chicago for her flight.
AP Exclusive: Palestinians brace for Netanyahu re-election, plot ways to isolate Israel
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- Weeks ahead of Israeli elections, Palestinian officials are already plotting a series of tough steps against Israel to be taken if, as polls predict, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is re-elected and peace efforts remain stalled.
Emboldened by their newly upgraded status at the United Nations, the Palestinians are talking of filing war crimes charges against Israel, staging mass demonstrations in the West Bank, encouraging the international community to impose sanctions, and ending the security cooperation that has helped preserve quiet in recent years.
These plans, combined with growing international impatience with Israeli settlement construction on occupied land, could spell trouble and international isolation for the Israeli leader.
In a series of interviews with The Associated Press, a number of Palestinian officials all voiced a similar theme: Following the U.N. General Assembly's recognition of "Palestine" as a nonmember observer state in November, the status quo cannot continue.
"2013 will see a new Palestinian political track. There will be new rules in our relationship with Israel and the world," said Hussam Zumlot, an official in President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement.
Facebook tests charging $1 to route messages to inbox rather than oft-ignored 'other' folder
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Facebook says it is testing a service that will charge users $1 to guarantee that messages they send to people they are not connected to arrive in users' inboxes, rather than in an often-ignored folder called "other."
Launched in 2011, the "other" folder is where Facebook routes messages it deems less relevant. Not quite spam, these include messages from people you most likely don't know, based on Facebook's reading of your social connections. Many users ignore this folder.
Now, users will be able to pay $1 to route their messages to non-friends. Facebook said Thursday that it is testing the service with a small percentage of individuals -- not businesses -- in the U.S.
"For example, if you want to send a message to someone you heard speak at an event but are not friends with, or if you want to message someone about a job opportunity, you can use this feature to reach their Inbox," Facebook said in an online post. "For the receiver, this test allows them to hear from people who have an important message to send them."
The company says charging for messages could help discourage spammers.
Watchdog groups ask US prosecutors to investigate mysterious $12 million in campaign donations
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two election watchdog organizations on Thursday urged the Justice Department and Federal Election Commission to investigate more than $12 million in campaign contributions that were mysteriously funneled through two little-known companies in Tennessee to a prominent tea party group. The origin of the money, the largest anonymous political donations in a campaign year filled with them, remains a secret.
The watchdog groups said routing the $12 million through the Tennessee companies appeared to violate a U.S. law prohibiting the practice of laundering campaign contributions in the name of another person. They also said the lawyer in Tennessee who registered the companies, William S. Rose Jr. of Knoxville, may have violated three other laws by failing to organize each company as a political committee, register them as political committees and file financial statements for them with the government.
Rose did not return a telephone message, text message and email from The Associated Press and could not otherwise be reached immediately for comment. He previously told AP that his business was a "family secret" and he was not obligated to disclose the origin of the $12 million routed through Specialty Investments Group Inc. and Kingston Pike Development Corp. Business records indicate that Rose registered Kingston Pike one day after he created Specialty Group, in the final weeks before Election Day. Rose previously complained that phone calls and emails from reporters were irritating.
The watchdog organizations, the Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21, said a criminal investigation by the Justice Department was necessary "because the integrity of U.S. elections depends on the effective enforcement of the nation's campaign finance laws." They noted that, although the FEC traditionally enforces campaign finance laws and imposes civil fines for violations, the Justice Department can conduct criminal investigations of "knowing and willful" violations under the 1971 Federal Election Campaign Act. Violations could carry up to five years in prison. The groups separately urged the FEC to investigate.
The contributions "raise serious questions about whether this was an illegal scheme to launder money into the 2012 elections and hide from the public the true identity of the sources of the money," said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21. He said no one should be permitted to "launder huge, secret contributions through corporate shells into federal elections."

Dance Place first leapt onto the scene more than three decades ago as an educational and performing arts company that toured local schools. In the years since, it has grown into a multi-faceted operation and source of both entertainment and instruction.
Every weekend, Dance Place dazzles crowds with performances in modern dance, African Dance, performance art, and spoken word. Rather than hiring a sketch artist to doodle each dance step into a flipbook, spectators can learn the moves they see on stage by enrolling in one of Dance Place's programs, or by dropping into an adult or children's class. Dance Place has remained true to its roots through its continued support of local schools, and to this day organizes family-friendly performances, workshops, and school assemblies.
The young Italian tenor trio Il Volo impresses audiences with pitch-leaping vocal performances rich in three-part harmonies. Performing renditions of classic Italian songs as well as material penned by contemporary songwriters, the teenage opera singers showcase budding international appeal and the promise of a bright future that consists of crooning crowds and autographing customs slips at airports. Opening act Ethan Bortnick, a 10-year-old piano prodigy known as the youngest entertainer to headline his own concert tour and attempt to purchase a monster truck, starts out the night with original piano compositions as well as recognizable classics.
Formed in the glory days of heavy metal, Queensrÿche rocks audiences with songs that reveal the fierce polish of 30 years of evolving artistry. The band's distinctive mix of prog rock, metal, and subliminal messaging rocketed their Empire album up the charts, launching hits such as "Silent Lucidity," "Jet City Woman," and "Best I Can." Normally reserved only for members of Queensrÿche's fan club, a backstage meet-and-greet lets a small group of the devoted make personal connections with the four lords of loudness, shaking their lightning-fast hands and comparing headbanging techniques. With experience opening for Nickelback and Staind, opening band The Fifth's wailing guitars rally fist pumps and head thrashes as raging as a riverbed full of angry bulls.
The graceful ease with which a good bartender mixes drinks masks the difficulty of the job, one that requires knowledge and dexterity—not to mention charisma. The seasoned barkeeps at Bartender of America, a TIPS-certified school, know what it takes to be a good bartender and lead their students through deliberate exercises inside a fully simulated tavern environment. Amid ambient sounds and music, novice bartenders dole out maraschino cherries and shake martinis while refining their conversational skills and learning how to identify underage kids by their mustaches. Fully committed students can opt for the entire Bar 101 curriculum, attaining a bartending license and valuable tricks for managing their resume and acing job interviews, while abbreviated classes offer insight into the fundamentals of the trade.

When reading the Torah (or listening!), do you ever just sit back and wonder what the heck is going on? Why does it say this? Why doesn't it say that? This opening session will be an introduction into how to really answer a question, and even better, how to ask one. This session will also help set the stage for doing modern commentary throughout the rest of the semester.
The Torah is clear: Noah has a wife. But who was she? Over these two sessions, we will try to identify who was Noah's wife, and what we can learn from her role today.
Lot's wife didn't listen. Who was she before she became a salty afterthought? What was her name? What do the rabbis have to say about her?
What would have happened if Joseph never found his brothers? Would we be here today? Who was it that actually led Joseph to his brothers, setting that infamous chain of events in Egypt in motion?
We know about Ahasuerus. We know about Esther. We know about Mordechai and Haman. We even know a bit about Vashti. But what about Bigtan and Teresh? The least discussed, most famous conspirators in the Tanakh, and we're going to figure out what was really going on in the story.
Certainly not everyone receives God's blessing in the Tanakh. But it would seem that Shifrah and Puah were blessed by God. Who were these mysterious women? Were they Jewish? Were they Egyptian? How can learning about their true identity alter the story we tell at our Passover seder?
What are some questions that we still have about putting together the pieces of Tanakh and Midrash? How can we apply these tools to future training? Following this session, each student will feel comfortable asking questions about biblical texts and seeking out the answers (both personally and from other sources) to those questions.

But how do we compare power hitters?
Home runs is one measure. But that hurts players like Hank Greenberg, who only played 13 seasons. We could also use Slugging Percentage (SLG). But SLG includes singles, so somebody like Ty Cobb will still rank high even though he had almost no power.
One way to compare power hitters is to use a stat called Isolated Power (ISO) which is simply the number of extra-bases per at bat. It is also easily calculated by subtracting batting average from slugging percentage.
On the next few pages, we will take a look at the greatest pure power hitters of all-time (min. 1,000 games). And some of the names might surprise you.

Bristol Bay Area Plan (2013)
Adopted April 2005
Revised September 2013
The Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has adopted the 2013 Plan Amendment to the 2005 Bristol Bay Area Plan (BBAP), which consists of the January 2013 Public Review Draft Determination of Reclassification (Determination) and Plan Amendment, as modified by the List of Approved Revisions adopted September, 2013 (these documents can be viewed at: http://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/planning/areaplans/bristol/amend/). A Land Classification Order (SC-04-002A02), which accompanied the Plan Amendment, was also adopted. It affects over 6.4 million acres of state uplands distributed throughout the 12.7 million acre planning area of the Bristol Bay Area Plan. A Determination of Reclassification, which determined if changes in land classification were appropriate, preceded and provided much of the basis of the Plan Amendment and was also adopted as a final decision. This action by the Commissioner has resulted in significantly more land in the planning region being classified Wildlife Habitat and Public Recreation as well as other important changes to the 2005 BBAP. Many of these changes resulted from the public review of the proposed Plan Amendment that was issued in January 2013.
DNR undertook to revise the 2005 BBAP in response to an agreement with the plaintiffs in Nondalton Tribal Council et al. v. State of Alaska, which dismissed the litigation in exchange for DNR's agreement to address the issues raised in the lawsuit through the existing administrative process for amending area land use plans and reclassifying state land. The Stipulation for Remand, which identifies the scope of the plan amendment process, is available on this website.
DNR staff has recently revised the text of the 2005 BBAP to incorporate all of the changes that were approved by the Commissioner. The revised BBAP is contained in the below links. The maps from the 2005 BBAP have not been revised, however, since, with the exception of the relatively few management units that were affected (about 40) by the 2013 Plan Amendment, the depiction of the unaffected units on these maps remains accurate. To see how the plan maps were changed as a result of the Plan Amendment, go to Map 3-A below. This is the same map that was included in the final 2013 Plan Amendment. DNR will revise the current maps in the 2005 BBAP to reflect the modifications in the List of Approved Changes, but since this is a lengthy process we choose to make the results of the Commissioner's adoption action available to the public in this on-line version of the plan now. When these maps are revised, the 2005 BBAP will have been entirely revised to reflect the results of the 2013 Plan Amendment process.
When available, copies of the final plan will be available for reference at local libraries and printed copies of the final plan can be purchased from the DNR Public Information Center at 550 West 7th Avenue, Suite 1260, Anchorage, AK 99501. If you would like a CD of the revised plan to be mailed to you, or for questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Worcester Gilbert and Sullivan Society set sail for tour
4:50pm Wednesday 19th March 2014 in News
THE Worcester Gilbert and Sullivan Society is taking its latest adventurous production on tour.
Around the World with Gilbert and Sullivan is a showcase of many songs from some of the duo's well-loved operettas and it is fitting the society is taking the voyage on HSM Pinafore to Ledbury, Droitwich and Pershore.
Along the journey it is boarded by pirates and in the ensuing battle it runs aground on Utopia, where previous castaways from Mikado and Gondoliers are to be found.
Following much deliberation the ship re-floats back to London via Japan and Barataria.
Rachael Trimm, who is set to become the society's youngest musical director at the age of 29, said: "We are all looking forward to performing this show, romping through some of the best songs in G&S whilst enjoying a fantastically funny script created by our director Christine Davies."
Around the World with Gilbert and Sullivan stops at Ledbury's Market Theatre on Friday and Saturday, March 21-22 before setting sail for Droitwich's Norbury Theatre on Thursday and Friday, March 27-28 and then mooring at Pershore's Number 8 Community Arts Centre on Saturday, March 29.

Devils ready to "Swarm it up" in playoffs with new gear; No place like home -- for sleeping
The Devils were all dressed up and ready for the playoffs this morning as they anxiously awaited Game 1 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal against the Florida Panthers tonight at BankAtlantic Center.
Each player received a special gray T-shirt and a red hooded sweatshirt (cue Adam Sandler song) for the playoffs and several were wearing them this morning.
On the front of both are the Devils' logo and the player's number. On the back are a pair of dice and the phrase, "Swarm it up."
Hats were also ordered, but they have not arrived yet.
The players were being pretty secretive about the meaning and origin of the gear, but goaltender Martin Brodeur said they were a gift from Ilya Kovalchuk.
"Kovy wanted to get something for the boys," Brodeur said.
"It wasn't just me," Kovalchuk insisted. "It was a couple of guys."
"Swarm it up" is the team's defensive zone philosophy.
"That's what we talk about doing in the defensive zone," Patrik Elias said. "We want everybody to get good pressure, get the swarm going."
No one was willing to reveal the meaning of the dice. There are 16 visible dots – the number of wins needed to capture the Stanley Cup – but the players would not confirm that was the symbolism there.
"It's a secret," Kovalchuk said.
"It's symbolic," backup goaltender Johan Hedberg said. "It's like a Dan Brown novel."
(UPDATE: A reader on Twitter noted the following quote from Brodeur, which he said after Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa about entering the playoffs on a six-game winning streak, which could be the meaning behind the dice: "You never know how it's going to happen, but I think you'd roll the dice on coming in hot." )
Regardless of the meaning (I'll keep digging for the answer), it's just another example of the tight bond between the players on this team as they gear up for what they hope will be a long postseason run.
"We've never done anything like that in the past," Devils captain Zach Parise said of the T-shirts, sweatshirts and hats. "It's cool."
Where Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, Elias and Jamie Langenbrunner all failed, Parise has succeeded.
Those past Devils' captains could not convince the coaching staff and management to allow the players to sleep in their own beds on the night before home playoff games -- a long-standing policy during Lou Lamoriello's tenure as GM -- but this year the players will be able to do so.
"It was something that everyone wanted to do," Parise said. "It didn't matter, but I just think that guys are comfortable going home and being home. If you think about it, we're staying the night here (in Florida) after the game Sunday and all the sudden you fly right back then you go to another hotel when we're home? It makes more sense to go home and be in the comforts of your own bed and do like we've done all season."
The players will not have to stay in a hotel on the night before home playoff games, but will have to stay there on game days between the morning skate and the game, which is their game-day procedure when they travel to face the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
The players used to have to stay in the hotel at home even when there was no game the next day, but gradually those rules became more lenient. They were allowed to stay at home prior to Game 2 of the team's five-game loss to Philadelphia two years ago and that was the only game they won in that series.

Two hospitals could lose A&E and maternity (From Wimbledon Guardian)

Fears for St Helier Hospital's future as two hospitals could face major cuts
3:30pm Wednesday 9th January 2013 in Save St Helier By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
The future of St Helier's accident and emergency looks even bleaker after it was recommended that two A&Es should close in the region.
The healthcare review Better Services Better Value review (BSBV) last year proposed St Helier Hospital should lose its vital services.
The fight to save the hospital has been dealt another blow after BSBV's programme board announced on Wednesday, January 9, that two hospitals out of four should lose their A&E and maternity departments.
Either St Helier, Epsom, Kingston or Croydon University Hospital will lose their key departments under the proposals.
A similar announcement was made in March last year and after a scoring panel and financial appraisal it was recommended that St Helier should be the one to face the cuts.
However BSBV, which has already cost taxpayers £2m, is carrying out the same review again but this time including Epsom Hospital in the process.
Politicians and campaigners have been fighting to save St Helier Hospital since it was threatened last year and Ruth Dombey, the leader of Sutton Council said: "If Sutton were to lose these services it would mean our residents would be without local first class medical care.
"We are dedicated to ensuring this doesn't happen and as a council we will continue to back the hospital in its time of need."
Councillor Mary Burstow, the chairperson of the health and well being scrutiny committee, said: "It's our local hospital. It's vital.
"Anyone who thinks going to St George's only takes ten minutes has clearly not made the journey on a regular basis.
"I don't think any hospital should lose its services. I think we need all our hospitals and all our A&Es."
Michael Bailey, consultant urologist and medical director for the BSBV programme, said: "I would strongly emphasise that no decisions have been made yet.
"These are clinical recommendations from local doctors and nurses only. Further work needs to be done to determine whether they would work in practice.
"We need to look at the impact on patient travel times, NHS staff numbers and what it would mean in terms of finances.
"What the Programme Board agreed was that this work will now be taken forward. Once we have agreed formal recommendations, we will consult the public later this year on whatever is proposed."

""Doctors and nurses at Epsom and St Helier hospitals are urging local people to only use our accident and emergency (A&E) departments if they need to, as both units are currently very busy, with an unprecedented number of people needing urgent hospital treatment.
At St Helier Hospital yesterday (2 January) 70 people who came to A&E needed admitting to the hospital for further treatment. That's an increase of more than 55% when compared to an average Wednesday, when approximately 45 of the people who come to A&E need admitting.
Epsom Hospital is also seeing an increase too, and yesterday admitted 32 patients for urgent treatment, compared to an average of 25 admissions on a normal Wednesday.
This pattern has been ongoing since the festive season, when our A&E departments saw a total of 3,300 patients (1,976 at St Helier Hospital and 1,324 at Epsom Hospital) between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day. That is 5.4% higher than the same period last year""

""Patients give thumbs-up to A&E at Epsom and St Helier hospitals
A national survey by the Government's health watchdog, the Care Quality Commission, has found that the experience patients have in the A&E (accident and emergency) departments at Epsom and St Helier hospitals is among the best in south west London and Surrey.
The survey, which was filled in by 318 patients who used our A&Es earlier this year, shows a number of key findings, including:
95% of our patients said the A&E was clean or very clean;
84% said the A&E toilets were clean or very clean;
95% did not feel bothered or threatened by other patients;
76% felt they were treated with respect and dignity.
The survey asked patients to mark their A&E experience in a number of different areas, from their care and treatment they received through to the quality of the environment and facilities. They were also asked to give feedback on the tests they received and how they rated the doctors and nurses.
When all the scores were compared with other hospitals it showed that on a national scale our A&E departments were performing at about the same level as most others.
However, on a local level it showed that - along with St George's, Royal Surrey and Frimley Park hospitals - we scored better than other hospitals in south west London and Surrey.
Chief Executive Matthew Hopkins said: "Our A&E departments are very busy places, with more than 143,000 patients coming through the doors in the last year alone. These results show that, despite the challenges of providing high quality care in a demanding environment, our staff are doing just that. I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to the teams involved.
"It is also good to see how we are performing against other local hospitals in south west London and Surrey. It is helpful to see that we are doing well when compared to our peers.""

The excuse put forward is that care would be better served in a superhospital. Trying telling that to mothers who may lose their children as no maternity facilities available to those in actual need in the locality. Perhaps the review should consider the real views of the customers. Is the £2m spent on this so far really been Value for Money, or could that have been better spent or vital equipment.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys already controlled their own destiny en route to the BCS national title game thanks to a future meeting with the Oklahoma Sooners, but the loss of their hated rivals to the Texas Tech Red Raiders last week now has the pressure on the Cowboys in Stillwater. They've gotten through all of their early tests, and now face another potentially tricky game against Robert Griffin III and the Baylor Bears (3:30 ABC/ESPN2; ride here for Oklahoma State-Baylor score updates and here for game stories from around the country).
Robert Griffin has been the most efficient passer in college football this year, but he's looked human in Baylor's toughest two games to date. Oklahoma State Cowboys blog Cowboys Ride For Free is worried, but likes their odds of containing RGIII.
I think he's the best quarterback Oklahoma State has faced all season and the improved passing ability concerns me a little bit. He throws a damn fine ball. If you look at his 3 biggest games so far, the numbers are impressive
TCU: 359 yards, 5 TD, Win
@ Kansas State: 346 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT, Loss
@ Texas A&M: 430 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, Loss
That's a trend I can live with. The guy's thrown 2 interceptions all year but each time he's done so they've lost the game. You think Bill Young and Brodrick "Shut Down" Brown are aware of this? I'd bet so.
So keep an eye on RG3, the Cowboy Defense and the turnover line on Saturday. An interception could be a major sign of another Cowboy victory.
Game date, time: 3:30 pm ET, Saturday, October 29
Location: Boone Pickens Stadium, Stillwater, Oklahoma
TV channel: ABC/ESPN2/ESPN3
Spread: Oklahoma State favored by 14
Series history: Oklahoma State leads all-time series 17-12

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Cincinnati offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and Vanderbilt coach James Franklin are among the latest candidates for the Washington Redskins coaching job.
Gruden said Monday that the Redskins were among several teams to request permission from the Bengals for an interview.
Franklin is expected to interview with the Redskins this week. The team's interest in him was confirmed by John Wooten of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, a group that encourages the hiring of minorities in the NFL.
Others expected to draw interest from the Redskins include San Diego offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, San Francisco offensive coordinator Greg Roman and Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
The Redskins were scheduled to host New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell on Monday, making him the fifth known candidate to interview for the job.

San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Roman Martinez scored 19 points, and Dairese Gary added 15, including some big free throws down the stretch, as New Mexico held off Montana, 62-57 in a first-round game from the East Region of the NCAA Tournament.
Darington Hobson overcame a scary fall in the first half and finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for the third-seeded Lobos (30-4), who will play Washington on Saturday. The Huskies earned a dramatic 80-78 win over Marquette earlier Thursday at HP Pavilion.
This the first time the Lobos have won an NCAA tourney game since 1999, when they beat Missouri in the first round before falling to eventual champion Connecticut in round two.
Brian Qvale had 26 points and 13 rebounds for the Grizzlies (22-10), who nearly rallied from a 14-point deficit in the second half but fell to 2-9 all-time in the tournament.
Ryan Staudacher's three-pointer moved Montana to a 32-29 lead less than a minute into the second half, but the Lobos scored the next 17 to seemingly take command. Gary started the burst with a layup, and Martinez finished it with a basket from in close with under 13 minutes left.
The Grizzlies continued to hang around, though, and Qvale's layup had the underdogs within 53-52 with nearly four minutes left.
Gary was able to make seven free throws after that point to have the Lobos hold on.
Ahead 59-56 with over a minute left, Gary came up with a crucial steal, stripping the ball from Anthony Johnson, who ended up going just 1-of-12 from the field for Montana.
Gary made 1-of-2 ensuing foul shots, but Derek Selvig made 1-of-2 from the charity stripe for the Grizzlies with 22.4 seconds left for a 60-57 margin.
Two missed free throws from Gary opened the door one final time for the Grizzlies, but Will Cherry's drive to the basket came up empty. Martinez sank a pair of foul shots with 13.5 seconds left to seal the triumph.
"I think it's disruptive to your opponent when their leading scorer goes 1-for-12, and that makes others have to increase their role and increasing roles in this month becomes difficult," New Mexico coach Steve Alford said. "So I was pleased with the way we battled. I thought we were...flat is not the word, but I thought we were a little deer in the headlights, in the first 20 minutes."
It was tight throughout the first half, with Montana gaining a 29-28 edge after 20 minutes. New Mexico received a scare with nearly 7 1/2 minutes left when Hobson drove the baseline, was upended and landed on his side. He suffered a slight wrist injury.
Qvale went 12-of-16 from the field...Montana ended at 40.7 percent, compared to 41.5 for the Lobos...The Lobos were facing Montana for the 24th time, but it was the first meeting since 1962.

The Spokane Shock have a laundry list of excuses they could use to explain away the fact they didn't make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. They lost their starting quarterback. They played in the league's toughest division.
But that is not what the Shock do.
Tampa Bayvs.Spokane Shock
Sat., July 21at 7 p.m.
TV: SWXWEB: SWXRightNow.comAPP: Syncbak
Rather than focus on what went wrong the team – from the front office to the players on the field – are working to go out on a high note. To hit it, they plan on winning their tenth game this year, beating Tampa Bay in the season finale Saturday in Spokane.
So, now, how does a team that barely beat the AFL's worst team a week ago do that? They just do what they do, naturally.
"[Tampa Bay] has a chance to go to the playoffs, and if we spoil them from going to the playoffs they're going to even hate us more," said receiver Adron Tennell. "We want to come out with a win this week. If we can't go to the playoffs, then nobody is going to the playoffs."
And he said it with a grin.
"They're playing for a playoff spot, so they have a great goal than us," said defensive back Terrance Sanders. "At the same time we're playing in front of our home fans and we don't want to lose this last home game like we lost the opener. We at least want to end on a strong note for all those 10,000 fans that come in cheering for the dark blue… the navy blue."
Saturday's season finale gets underway at 7 p.m. at Spokane Arena. The game will be televised live on SWX, SWXRightNow.com and on mobile devices in Eastern Washington and North Idaho via the Syncbak app.

Former mayor battles to health after heart attack
8:13am Tuesday 1st January 2013 in News By Wendy Brading
A FORMER Colchester mayor is fitting back to fitness after suffering a heart attack.
Grandfather-of-five Terry Sutton was rushed to Colchester General Hospital by ambulance and was later transfered to the specialist heart unit at Basildon.
However, he is now recovering - and vowing to embark on a new exercise regime to get fitter, healthier and lose four stones in weight.

- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

I've made this recipe several times, and it is delicious! My family didn't realize the number of different root vegetables that were in this dish. I don't usually keep stew beef at hand, so it is great that I can make a tasty meal with ground beef.
Reviewed Apr. 26, 2011
I had roasted this same combination of root veggies and had leftovers so I added them to the stew towards the end with stew meat. Love this stew yum!!
Reviewed Jan. 8, 2011
I used stew meat rather than ground beef bc that's what I had on hand. It was tasty. I had never had parsnips or rutabaga until now. The sweet potato is pured by the time the rest are done cooking. It was fine by me but if that wd bother you, add it to the pot late.

In just a few days, at the Lisbon Summit, we will launch the transition process, and early next year Afghan forces will steadily begin taking the lead for security throughout the country. This Canadian contribution of hundreds of trainers will help the Afghan security forces to more quickly become capable of securing their own country against terrorism and extremism - a goal we all share.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — The July 3 letter submitted by Michael Imhof was right on target ..."Jesus Christ is the only answer to our present situation."
Our government, as a whole, has taken God out of its agenda completely. The results are self evident. In 1963, the Supreme Court took God out of our schools. Later, legalized abortion (murder of millions of babies) and, now, legalized gay marriage (both an abomination of God).
I'm talking about the only true God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and the Father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ (who died for our sins).
Our forefather declared this nation under God, and in the biblical principles of God. As Cal Thomas stated in his Sunday, June 30, article — "Should we change our country's motto from 'In God We Trust' to 'In Polls We Trust'"?
It's not Mr. Imhof or myself who say this. God says this. The only thing we as a people of this great nation can do is pray for our leaders, that they turn to God instead of their own parties, and do what is righteous.

From the parking area at the top of the Sunday slabs, descend the trail to the bottom of the Sunday/Saturday slabs, and hike west about 300 yards below the face below and past an obvious half-circle shaped flake. A left leaning flake, 200 feet high is the start for a number of routes. The Tollhouse Traverse is the large left-leaning groove/crack system on the left side of this flack. Follow it for two and a half pitches (bolted belays), then choose to climb bolted slab, the right-leaning dihedral, or climb over the dihedral to slab. The final pitch is 3rd-4th class.
