The first book I read after I decided to consciously educate myself to be a part of the movement was Sanyika Shakur's "Monster" in the mid-'90s. I was inspired by the sharpness of his ideas, his vocabulary and his grasp on history. I respected him in the same way I respected Tupac Shakur. I knew that one day I wanted to be able express myself as articulately as the two of them.

We are the ones who refused to be captured in Afrika without a fight, who staged daring raids on enemy supply lines and brought our nationals back to freedom. We are the ones the enemy calls, "criminals," "terrorists," "gangs," "militants," "leftists," "separatists," "radicals," "feminists," "worst of the worst," "America's Most Wanted" and enemy combatants.

Comrade was an exceptional individual and driven by his passion for revolution. The immense amount of knowledge he had acquired prior to our meeting he had honed to be as sharp as a samurai sword.

Lynne Stewart is one of the last of a dying breed of political lawyers who represent victims of government tyranny as her quest in life. Now she is one of America's newest political prisoners.

As San Francisco grapples with a looming budget crisis, Public Defender Jeff Adachi is seeking $2 million in state reimbursement to the City for its defense of eight men charged in a 1971 homicide case involving a police officer. The city's right to reimbursement is based on the fact that the California Attorney General took on the 36-year-old case after the San Francisco District Attorney's office declined to prosecute.

What was amazing about the hearing Monday was the prosecution's admission that it didn't have enough evidence to convict these men. As attorney Daro Inouye said of Jalil Muntaqim, who pled no contest to the prosecution's charge of conspiracy, his client picked up a loaded grenade to save his brothers, his friends, his fellow defendants, and he didn't plead guilty. That language did not pass his lips.

However, I choose the demographics of the students on your team. For my team, the situation is reversed: you choose the pedagogical factors for my students, but I choose the demographics. You stock your team kids from whatever educational backgrounds you think work, and mine with whatever educational systems you think don't work. Meanwhile, I give you all children from the poverty-stricken, crime-ridden inner city and impoverished rural districts where we see the most failure. I stock mine with upper-class children of privilege. I would bet the house on my team, and I bet if you're being honest, you would too. Yet to accept that is to deny the basic assumption of the education reform movement, which is that student outcomes are a direct result of teacher quality.

* But if Emanuel brought Byrd-Bennett in to work the same kind of charter magic in Chicago that she did in Detroit, he may be dismayed to encounter one important difference: Chicago is now in a good position to fight back. The school closings hearings were packed with engaged, motivated citizens, and the teachers union is more organized than it's been in three decades. During its popular and successful strike, the union's approval rating climbed while the mayor's fell—public opinion polls showed that taxpayers blamed Emanuel for the ugliness that took place during negotiations. The CTU's current leadership has built relationships with community leaders and organizations, forming a coalition to fight the slash-and-burn privatization pushed by the Board of Education and its corporate sponsors, and has even hosted civil disobedience trainings open to the public. This afternoon's protest will serve as further evidence that Emanuel is indeed up against a new opponent, one strong enough that not even the best "cleaner" may be able to defeat it.

* Zero Dark Thirty is supposedly a film about freedom. A "freedom so threatening that there are those around the world willing to kill themselves and others to prevent us from enjoying it," as the TV sound-bite in the background puts it. The odd thing is that this freedom is never once glimpsed within the film itself. Obviously, we are constantly reminded of the imprisonment and torture of the al Qaeda suspects, but it is never their freedom we are meant to be concerned with. More tellingly, it is the American spaces within the film that leave this freedom unseen. A strange becoming-prisoner takes hold of the spaces, and of the American body itself: not unfolding, in the end, either defeat or victory, but pulling together in a constricted space the impossibility of both.

Democracy 'Has a Hidden Failure Mode, We've Landed in It, and We Probably Won't Be Able to Vote Ourselves Out of It'
The great Charlie Stross, elaborating on his sense that we are living in the aftermath of an alien invasion:
Overall, the nature of the problem seems to be that our representative democratic institutions have been captured by meta-institutions that implement the iron law of oligarchy by systematically reducing the risk of change. They have done so by converging on a common set of policies that do not serve the public interest, but minimize the risk of the parties losing the corporate funding they require in order to achieve re-election. And in so doing, they have broken the "peaceful succession when enough people get pissed off" mechanism that prevents revolutions…
So the future isn't a boot stamping on a human face, forever. It's a person in a beige business outfit advocating beige policies that nobody wants (but nobody can quite articulate a coherent alternative to) with a false mandate obtained by performing rituals of representative democracy that offer as much actual choice as a Stalinist one-party state. And resistance is futile, because if you succeed in overthrowing the beige dictatorship, you will become that which you opposed.
Via MeFi.
Minting the coin would interrupt that process, uniting Republicans — and many voters and business groups — against what they would see as an unsettling, illegal and inflationary power grab from the executive. And if you think the press spreads blame too equally over the debt ceiling, wait till you see the coverage if the White House decides to respond by creating a trillion-dollar coin out of nothing. You can explain the basic logic of fiat currency until you're blue in the face, but it's not going to matter. That coin would drive our country's increasingly deranged politics, which are really at the heart of this crisis, to the edge
As far as I can tell Ezra Klein is the only person talking any sense on the platinum coin.
In the event that we actually breach the debt ceiling and Republicans don't fold almost instantly, the situation changes. Again, I think this fairly unlikely. But if financial markets are roiling and the country is crying out for a resolution that Republicans, in a fit of political and moral insanity, won't provide, then many of the drawbacks to minting the coin or invoking the 14th Amendment dissipate. At that point, such a move may seem entirely reasonable: It could bring relief to the public and the markets, and Republicans would properly take the blame — and the consequences — for having nearly destroyed the global economy. True crisis has the tendency to turn the utterly unthinkable into the absolutely necessary, as any policymaker who participated in the bailout of AIG will tell you.
But we're not there yet, I don't think we're going to get there, and I think announcing a mint-the-coin policy in advance will make matters worse.
'The Iron Law of Meritocracy'
Washington Monthly quotes Chris Hayes's book Twilight of the Elites:
And we might ask what a society that has been corrupted entirely by the Iron Law of Meritocracy would look like. It would be a society with extremely high and rising inequality yet little circulation of elites. A society in which the pillar institutions were populated and presided over by a group of hyper-educated, ambitious overachievers who enjoyed tremendous monetary rewards as well as unparalleled political power and prestige, and yet who managed to insulate themselves from sanction, competition and accountability; a group of people who could more or less rest assured that now that they have achieved their status, now that they have scaled to the top of the pyramid, they, their peers and their progeny will stay there.
Such a ruling class would have all the competitive ferocity inculcated by the ceaseless jockeying within the institutions that produce meritocratic elites, but face no actual sanctions for failing at their duties or succumbing to the temptations of corruption. It would reflexively protect its worst members; it would operate with a wide gulf between performance and reward; and it would be shot through with corruption, rule-breaking and self-dealing, as those on top pursued the outsized rewards promised for superstars. In the same way the bailouts combined the worst aspects of capitalism and socialism, such a social order would fuse the worst aspects of meritocracy and bureaucracy.
It would, in other words, look a lot like the American elite in the first years of the twenty-first century.

* In 2011, California spent $9.6 billion on prisons, versus $5.7 billion on higher education. Since 1980, California has built one college campus; it's built 21 prisons. The state spends $8,667 per student per year. It spends about $50,000 per inmate per year.
* The lottery lie: The educational "bonus" appears to be nonexistent. Miller and Pierce (1997) studied the short- and long-term effect of education lotteries. They found that lottery states did indeed increase per-capita spending on education during the lottery's early years. However, after some time these states actually decreased their overall spending on education. In contrast, states without lotteries increased education spending over time. In fact, nonlottery states spend, on average, 10 percent more of their budgets on education than lottery states (Gearey 1997).
* The education reform lie: it's impossible to talk about primary and secondary education in America in any meaningful way if you won't allow yourself to discuss class.

* If you and your board are now determined to show that you in fact have wisdom and maturity when you exercise your powers over the eduction of your young, then you should acknowledge that it was a rotten lesson you taught young people in a free society when you denounced and then burned books–books you hadn't even read. You should also resolve to expose your children to all sorts of opinions and information, in order that they will be better equipped to make decisions and to survive. Yours sincerely, Kurt Vonnegut.

But the problem goes far beyond politics. We have become a society that can't self-correct, that can't address its obvious problems, that can't pull out of its nosedive.

Cronus Devouring His Children – 2
Malcolm Harris, who is building his Internet celebrity on this issue, doubles down on all of the bad impulses this kind of thinking engenders. He is here using the language of revolution to justify what is, at its essence, a dispute among the ruling class. He reminds me of nothing so much as the autoworker who curses the "foreigner" who he imagines has stolen what he thought was coming to him. Because Harris knows that his complaint is ultimately a direct expression of entitlement, and the entitlement of those who presumed they would be rewarded by our corrupt system, he has to build a case that is simply antithetical to the left-wing project: the notion that recent college graduates are the dispossessed around which a revolutionary movement deserves to be mustered. Read his piece. I don't exaggerate.
It should go without saying that this is a project I want nothing to do with. I feel for those struggling under student loan debt, in part because I am myself, but I will not engage in the sophistry and dishonesty that asserts that they are the class that most requires liberation.
Freddie deBoer takes on the New Inquiry issue on "youth" I linked to yesterday. My response to Freddie would just be sure, sure, yes, everything you say is also true—but we can think about more than one type of thing at once.
Cronus Devouring His Children
Malcolm Harris in The New Inquiry #2: Class politics have become intelligible as a generational politics, the forces of what is and what has been arrayed against what else could be. For some the divide is the result of a promise betrayed, whether that promise was that they could maintain their inherited class positions or improve them. For others it's a recognition that existing institutions are so riddled with predation and corruption, or tied inextricably to ecological devastation, that even their maintenance is unthinkable work. For still others it's the trauma of service in the latest set of American wars, always declared by the old and fought by the young, or the accumulation of years of police harassment. Some occupiers hardly know why they're there…
'2012 or Never'
Jonathan Chait on the long, slow death of the GOP.
In the long run, though, the GOP has done nothing at all to rehabilitate its deep unpopularity with the public as a whole, and has only further poisoned its standing with Hispanics. But by forswearing compromise, it opened the door to a single shot. The Republicans have gained the House and stand poised to win control of the Senate. If they can claw out a presidential win and hold on to Congress, they will have a glorious two-year window to restore the America they knew and loved, to lock in transformational change, or at least to wrench the status quo so far rightward that it will take Democrats a generation to wrench it back. The cost of any foregone legislative compromises on health care or the deficit would be trivial compared to the enormous gains available to a party in control of all three federal branches.
On the other hand, if they lose their bid to unseat Obama, they will have mortgaged their future for nothing at all. And over the last several months, it has appeared increasingly likely that the party's great all-or-nothing bet may land, ultimately, on nothing. In which case, the Republicans will have turned an unfavorable outlook into a truly bleak one in a fit of panic.
For what it's worth I think Chait probably underestimates the likelihood of further conservative freakout once Obama has been reelected, something that could descend into either a total breakdown in the ability of government to function at all or significant political violence (or both). I don't think it will be pretty.
Quote of the Day
"Obama is on the ropes; why do we appear ready to hand him a win?" said one senior House Republican aide who requested anonymity to discuss the matter freely. "I just don't want to co-own the economy by having to tout that we passed a jobs bill that won't work or at least won't do enough."
Putting aside the spectacle of top Republicans once again admitting (in private) that they're deliberately sabotaging the economy just to hurt Obama, there's an even bigger issue at stake here. One of the things Matt Yglesias has had right for a long time is the growing institutional crisis in Congress, which increasingly has the lockstep partisan logic of a parliamentary system coupled with the procedures and myriad veto points of a presidential system. The worst-of-both-worlds result is a situation in which the minority party not only benefits from the failure of the majority party's agenda but has the power to ensure that failure by preventing any legislation from being passed at all.
You just can't run a government this way—at least, not for very long.
Thursday Roundup
* In sum, nobody — and I mean nobody — was talking about how weak the presidency supposedly is before Barack Obama was inaugurated: neither in the domestic nor foreign policy realm. Greenwald is debating Scott Lemieux from Lawyers, Guns, and Money, whose posts on the subject are here and here.
* Over my friend Traxus's objections, Elizabeth Warren will run for Senate. Sorry bro.
* In CounterPunch: Who Will Save Libya From Its Western Saviours?
* "The man sitting in front of you is not a so-called statesman, but a completely normal person": Mikhail Gorbachev at 80.
* Chart of the day: paid vacation in the developed world.
* Never forget: Economic contraction is a policy choice.
* Tom Coburn forgets how dog whistles are supposed to work.
* Peter Singer: The Troubled Life of Nim Chimpsky.
* And two months from now it will have always been appropriate for lawyers to call themselves "Dr." Looking forward to it.

As we entered into the central area of Melang I was immediately taken aback by the large detached mansions on show as they dramatically contrasted in style from any of the other housing I had seen thus far throughout Indonesia.

This weekend, I installed a water softener in my basement. After several trips to the store, I finally finished.
However, I have a very slow leak in the "in" cpvc pipe that goes into the softener. It is about 12 inches off the softener and takes place at an elbow joint. It's been 24 hours since I have installed it and I have probably only a mouth-ful of water in teh bucket. My question is this:
1. Since hard water goes through this pipe (our hard water rates at 25), will the problem fix itself (calcium deposits hardening up, etc).
2. Would plumbing tape work?
Any help you could give me would be great!
other than taking the pie off and re-doing it. Which I am sure you do not want to do. You can pick up some plumber plato. I am not sure if this is what it is called but you can pick it up in the plumbing section of your local hardware store. You cut a chunk off need it in your fingers and press into place. It will turn rock hard when in about 2 minutes and should stop your leak.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.
Cut out the leaking section get glue and primmer and a coupling and new fittings as needed and not bother to try to use epoxy.
The epoxies that I have used were only for a temporary job like a Sunday night until I could get the proper fittings to do it right Monday.
Just imagine your trying to sell your investment (home) and some home inspector sees globs of epoxy on a joint.
This does not instill much confidence in the future home buyer.
If you don't have time to do it right the first time how are you going to find the time to remove the epoxy and do it again?
Even Hercules pro plastic poxy I wouldn't use if I had the option of redoing it correctly

Pinterest Factor
by Jessica Gordon
June 01, 2012 —
Once you've saturated your Facebook and Twitter feeds with all the business and self-promotion traction you can get out of them, what's next on the social media horizon? Some photographers say it's Pinterest, the virtual inspiration board where users can "pin" whatever suits them: Vacation destinations, summer fashion looks, birthday wish lists—and most notably for photographers—inspirational photographs. The site, funded by venture capitalists, has had a serious take-off in the last six months, and according to a CNN Tech report in February 2012, Pinterest drives more visitors to third-party Web sites than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined.
Jessica Gordon is associate editor at Rangefinder. E-mail her at email@example.com or follow her (meager) pins at pinterest.com/jessicadgordon.

London's favourite women's pop choir Lips have been performing to sell-out audiences since 2009, from iconic venues such as the Coronet and the Union Chapel to leading festivals across the UK, key London events and performances at the BBC. Lips' influences come from far and wide, and they're just as likely to weave dubstep into an eastern European folk song, belt out a medley of rock anthems, or give their original take on classics from the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Tina Turner. Together, Lips make a nuanced and upbeat wall of sound, channelling the skills of its many multi-talented members and two musical directors.
Watch them perform live with their gigantic line-up of female singers when they open the Main Stage on Sunday at Bestival 2014!!

The only thing that Maria fans can hope for is that age will start taking it's toll on Serena at some point.
Serena seems to get better with age though, I remember in 09 and 2010 she was barely trying in tournaments except majors but now she is just so focused and want every single damn title. She already won 4 this year and 1 final.
In 2010 her last 5 titles were 4 majors and YEC
she really stepped it up in every possible way and yeah we can lonly hope age is catching up on Serena, it's sad to say but Maria doesn't seem to add a lot of variation on her tennis to trouble Serena so age is the only factor.

Mid-Michigan History: Letson Park Brinton Sherman Township
Long before Europeans came to Coldwater Township, Indians were drawn to the boiling springs in Section 22, considering them sacred. Settlers began gathering in the area as early as 1862. Among them was Samuel Letson, for whom the township park above is named at the site of his 1886 post office a mile south of Brinton in the southern part of Section 22.

Visually appealing 'Hohokum' won't be for everyone (review)
I recently attended The Art of Video Games exhibit in Toledo, Ohio, a traveling exhibition that explores the evolution of video games as an artistic medium. If it's ever to be expanded, "Hohokum" should definitely be considered for the display.
Kati Mora: Kid-friendly recipes for enjoying bananas
Bananas are easily one of the most readily available and recognizable fresh fruits we have. They are typically inexpensive and relatively versatile too, making them an easy sell when it comes to incorporating more produce into your day.
Emma Currie: Fall in love with local tomatoes
The poor beleaguered tomato. Centuries ago it was hated and blamed for being poisonous and deadly, and it's still the number one thing I find that people asked to be removed from their sandwich.
Recipe submission: Mael Glon's eggplant mille-feuille
One of the reasons that I enjoy cooking is that it gives you the power to take simple, even banal ingredients and turn them into something stunning. My eggplant mille-feuille may not be full of pastry cream like its original French counterpart, but it's still very tasty and a little easier on the waistline.

Couples from around the world participate in a mass wedding ceremony arranged by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church at Sun Moon University in Asan, south of Seoul, South Korea, on Wednesday.
From South Korea to South America, the bride wore white for the Unification Church's largest mass wedding in a decade, with 40,000 people participating in dozens of cities around the world.
The "blessing ceremony" was the church's largest since 1999, and may well be the last on such a grand scale officiated by the 89-year-old Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the controversial founder of the Unification Church.
More than 20,000 people gathered at Sun Moon University campus in Asan, south of Seoul, on Wednesday while 20,000 more joined simultaneous ceremonies in the U.S., Brazil, Australia and elsewhere.
Some were new couples in unions arranged by the church; others were renewing their wedding vows.
The brides wore wedding dresses or their national dress; the men wore black suits with red ties, with white scarves around their necks.
Moon planning succession
The mass wedding comes as Moon moves to hand day-to-day leadership over to three sons, though the Rev. Moon Hyung-jin, the 30-year-old tapped to take over religious affairs, insists his father is healthy and remains in charge.
The global ceremony is meant to mark key anniversaries in the leader's life: his 90th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his marriage to Han Hak-ja, church officials said.
Brides in veils and grooms in white gloves — hailing from South Korea, the U.S., Japan, Europe and elsewhere — posed for photos and practised shouting "Hurrah!" at the wedding rehearsal.
"I'm a little bit nervous," admitted Rie Furuta. She and groom Tadakuni Sano, both 25-year-olds from Japan, had met only three times since their marriage was arranged in March.
Church tones down controversial practices
In the past, the Moons wore elaborate, high priest-style white gowns and headpieces for the blessing ceremonies.
On Wednesday, Moon was dressed in a simple black suit, a rose pinned to his lapel; his wife wore a white blouse and skirt. Their austerity reflected the church's toned-down stance as it seeks to avoid the controversy of the past.
Critics say the weddings show the church engages in cultlike practices. In the past, Moon routinely paired off couples, with many first meeting at their mass wedding.
These days, even arranged couples meet beforehand, church officials said. But they're not expected to skip off to a honeymoon; couples are required to observe a 40-day waiting period before living together. Many said they would celebrate with lunch afterward, and a select group was invited to a luncheon with Moon on Thursday.
Moon, a self-proclaimed Messiah who says Jesus Christ called upon him to carry out his unfinished work, has courted controversy and criticism since founding the Unification Church in Seoul in 1954. He held his first mass wedding in the early 1960s, arranging the marriages of 24 couples and renewing the vows of 12 others.
Multicultural pairings
The weddings grew in scale; the first held outside South Korea was at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1982. That one drew tens of thousands of participants — and protesters.
Moon frequently paired off people from different countries as part of his aim to create a multicultural religious world.
"My wish is to completely tear down barriers and to create a world in which everyone becomes one," Moon said in his recent autobiography.
In New York, 22-year-old Krystof Heller, whose parents married in a 1982 mass wedding, has known new wife Maria Lee of South Korea for about four months.
"It's something you grow up with. It something you anticipate through your whole life," he said. "It's not just about a mass wedding; there is the moral emphasis. The big crowd is just the perk."

PHILADELPHIA - May 19, 2011 --A lawyer for a Philadelphia-area man charged with raping and killing his 9-year-old neighbor says his client is "confused" and "sad" over his arrest in the girl's death.
Lawyer Craig Penglase plans to explore mental-health issues as he defends 24-year-old James Troutman in the May 9 slaying.
Troutman is charged with killing Skyler Kauffman at their Souderton apartment complex.
Penglase says his client will waive his right to a preliminary hearing Monday.
He says Troutman may have the social disorder Asperger's syndrome, but will also be tested for mental illness. He says Asperger's alone wouldn't prevent him from knowing right from wrong, the standard for an insanity defense in Pennsylvania.
Penglase previously won an insanity defense for a woman accused of trying to kill her newborn. She got probation.

Berenike was founded in the 3rd century BC by Pharaoh Ptolemy II (285-246 years BC). Initially, the port was used for shipments of African elephants. The ruler had decided to use these animals in battles against Egypt's enemies, as access to the Indian elephant was cut off, so an independent source from Eastern Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia was needed. The city was also a refuge and place of temporary residence for seafarers, traders and the general public from the remotest corners of the world.

Cardiff City boss Solksjaer confirms McNaughton loan
7:05pm Saturday 12th July 2014 in Sport By Marc Iles
CARDIFF City boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has confirmed that Kevin McNaughton will be heading out to Wanderers on a season-long loan.
Speaking after the Bluebirds' 1-1 draw against non-league Bath City, the former Manchester United man admitted that McNaughton would be behind the likes of Kevin Theophile-Catherine and John Brayford in the pecking order this season.
"He is at a stage of his career where he needs to be playing regular football and we have a lot of full-backs at the club," he told Wales Online.
Wanderers moved quickly after the Scot became available – farming Alex Baptiste out on a season-long loan to Blackburn Rovers to make way for his arrival.
McNaughton was a big hit in a loan spell last season, helping the Whites to six wins and four draws in his 13 appearances.

Ed Belfour's search for a new home in the NHL continues. The Florida Panthers have had a sudden change of heart and intend to put their faith in recently acquired goaltender Alex Auld. The Panthers brought Belfour, a 41 year old veteran into Sunrise, Florida yesterday for medical testing and were expected to offer him a contract. Instead Florida has rescinded its offer and have decided to go with what they have.

Given their excessive travel, one can conclude that Hal Laycoe's squad fared pretty well. Vancouver had six 20-goal scorers led by Rosaire Paiement's 34, with Andre Boudrias and Wayne Maki each netting 25.read on

The 80's Are Over With
07/20/06 at 02:46 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the Gateway,
Sometimes, I just don't want to be here. I don't mean here in these pages, I mean here in the geographical sense. Don't get me wrong, I love dirty streets, conservative hillbillies and making fun of Calgary—but sometimes, Edmonton can be a terrible place to live. So I can relate to Michael Peca, Jaroslav Spacek, Sergei Samsonov and Chris Pronger's desires to head elsewhere this NHL off-season.... There's a reason that the biggest acquisitions this off-season have been Daniel Tjarnqvist and Marty Reasoner: guys don't want to come to Edmonton. The pay is too low, the weather too bad and the fans too deluded. The '80s are over with, and the sooner Edmonton fans stop expecting Ales Hemsky to be the next Jari Kurri and Ryan Smyth to be the next Messier, the sooner players will realize that the fan support in Edmonton is a blessing, instead of the curse it is now.more

An interview with new Tampa Bay goalie Marc Denis via the Tampa Bay Lightning,
TBL.com: What are you most excited about for the upcoming season? DENIS: Being a contender. To play hockey in late April, May and hopefully in early summer - that's what I'm looking forward to. The goal and objective is quite different than in my last six years in Columbus, being part of the whole building process of a new franchise. I've been used to winning, not only in my career, but my whole life, and I'm looking forward to getting back to winning ways.read on

Better In Buffalo
07/20/06 at 11:36 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Buffalo News,
Spacek, in his first interview since becoming the Sabres' prized free-agent acquisition July 5, said Wednesday he had nearly identical offers from the Sabres and his former team, the Edmonton Oilers. But the situation in Buffalo far outweighed that in Edmonton. ...he saw one team on the rise and another falling apart. Though the Oilers were one game away from winning the Stanley Cup, Spacek was quick to send a reminder that they needed late-season losses by Vancouver just to earn the No. 8 seed in the postseason. The Sabres, meanwhile, had the fifth-most points in the league. "I think that the team now in Edmonton will be not the same like last year," Spacek said by phone from the Czech Republic. "I was there for four months, and we had a great run in the playoffs, but we barely made the playoffs. We had to get big help from San Jose and Anaheim...."more

Bill from Abel to Yzerman inteviewed Wings beat writer Ansar Khan. For Detroit fans, a must read!
A2Y: Mike Babcock seems to be a pretty blunt guy. Is he an easy coach to deal with from a reporter's standpoint? Khan: He's blunt, argumentative and sometimes cranky, but also provides some colorful quotes, which every writer would appreciate. Like Dave Lewis before him, Babcock understands our job and always has time for us after practices and morning skates, in addition to games, and is good about returning calls. So he's fine to deal with.Alanah at VCOE needed an excuse to stay up all night so she has decided to blog for charity.

Zherdev Contract Talk
07/20/06 at 09:42 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Columbus Dispatch,
Zherdev is a restricted free agent, and it seems his agent, Rolland Hedges, and the Blue Jackets are bracing for negotiations that could take most of the summer and may stretch into training camp in September. Hedges confirmed yesterday that Zherdev has signed a contract with Khimik Voskresensk of the Russian Superleague. He's playing with the club in a tournament in Finland. "Nikolai's first objective is to play for the Columbus Blue Jackets," Hedges said. "If he's not able to do that because of a contract or budget situation, this way he has a place to play." The Jackets have offered Zherdev a one-year, contract, his qualifying offer, as well as a two-year contract worth "substantially more money," MacLean said.more

Odd Charles Wang
07/20/06 at 08:56 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Al Strachan of the Toronto Sun,
First of all, keeping Milbury on the payroll -- and even promoting him -- would make any reasonable observer wonder about Wang's ability to make hockey decisions. After all, it was Wang who approved Milbury's idea to give Alexei Yashin a 10-year $90-million US contract. Has it not by now dawned on Wang that this was perhaps not the best hockey decision ever made? Knowing Wang, probably not. Wang, after all, has seriously suggested that team personnel should go to Japan to scout sumo wrestlers who could be turned into National Hockey League goaltenders.read on added 7:38am, from Alan Maki of the Globe and Mail,
Ted Nolan might do well enough as the coach of the Islanders, but appointing Garth Snow as the GM and surrounding him with the likes of Bryan Trottier and (perhaps) Pat LaFontaine is like asking Larry, Curly and Moe to fix the hole in your roof. Guaranteed, something is going to go wrong.more

Duration: 30 minutes
A new baby orphan has been rescued in Tsavo, but needs to be flown to Nairobi if it is to survive. At the nursery, Michaela Strachan follows the extraordinarily intense bond that has developed between the orphan herd's mini-matriarch Lualeni and the youngest orphan, Makena. But how will they react to the arrival of Chyulu, the new and very needy rescued baby?
Poaching is a major cause of elephants being orphaned. In Tsavo, Jonathan Scott goes on bush patrol with a team from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see what's being done. And elsewhere in Tsavo, the Trust's vet undertakes a dangerous and dramatic attempt to rescue a young elephant from a poacher's snare.

Google: Smartphone usage surges globally; good for mobile ads?
Summary: New research from Google shows that smartphone usage is surging globally, especially in the U.S. and Western Europe. Beyond just device sales, this could mean bigger things for advertisers.
Consumers are "clearly shifting from feature phones to smartphones," according to Nicole Leverich from Google's mobile ads marketing department.
Going over a new survey examining smartphone usage in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan, Leverich explained on the official Google Mobile Ads blog that more consumers in these nations use a mobile phone (whether it be a feature phone or smartphone) than a computer (desktop or laptop).
But each of these countries saw a significant jump in smartphone usage between the beginning of 2011 and closer to the end of the year.
The United Kingdom, in particular, saw both the biggest increase of usage and the most out of all the countries examined in this survey with an increase from 30 percent of U.K. consumers to 45 percent.
Given the source of this information (Google Mobile Ads), it's quite clear that this rapid climb of the interest in smartphones means a lot more than just more money for mobile OEMs and developers.
With this many more people in the world's leading economies on smartphones, one could argue that most advertisers are already missing a huge opportunity here.
Although the study took place before Google's, Nielsen published a report in September that concurs on the rise of smartphones (at least in the United States) as 60 percent of all new cell phones sold are now smartphones.
Of course, it's not too late for advertisers to start targeting mobile consumers, and as annoying as it might seem to consumers, we will likely see more in the mobile ad space in 2012.
For reference, Google teamed with private research think tank Ipsos on this study, conducted in two parts as demonstrated in the graphic above. Phase 1 of the research was conducted in January and February 2011, while Phase 2 took place during September and October.
