Internet2 Past Showcases
Internet2 would like to showcase our members' efforts on our website. We encourage Internet2 members to share advanced networking milestones, as well as interesting people, events, collaborations and efforts in the advanced networking community. Include a brief description (less than 100 words), all appropriate links and images, and contact information. If you have suggestions about projects or news that might be featured, please contact <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
Internet2 has named Susannah Spellman Executive Director of the United States Unified Community Anchor Network (U.S. UCAN). In her new role, Spellman will lead Internet2's efforts to support the broadband needs of community anchor institutions from around the country. She will oversee the Internet2 K20 initiative and rural health care program, and explore new ways to leverage Internet2's national research and education network for the benefit of public safety, public media and other public institutions. "Susannah's experience with the nation's government and business leaders in broadband service and community anchor institutions will greatly benefit U.S. UCAN," said Internet2 Vice President John S. Morabito. "In collaboration with regional research and education networks across the country, her leadership will assist anchor institutions in serving their communities with telemedicine, distance learning, and other innovative applications."
The Grouper team is pleased to announce the release of a series of free training videos. "These new Grouper training videos are designed to address the growing adoption of Grouper and the community's requests for increased training opportunities," explains Tom Barton, University of Chicago, and Chair of the Grouper project. Tom Barton is shown at left, along with Grouper team members Chris Hyzer, University of Pennsylvania, and Shilen Patel, Duke University.
Empowering people to be global education consumers. That's how community anchor institution innovator, Brady Kraft, Director of Technology at Idaho Education Network (IEN), describes what he does for a living. His primary driving force? Working to make sure everyone at the school, district and state levels has true equality of access. His vision for tomorrow's "native digital citizens"—even the rural ones? That they will be free to make education and career choices unbounded by bandwidth availability. IEN connects to the Internet2 Network via Idaho Regional Optical Network (IRON).
The Internet2 staff and community are saddened to hear of the passing of our colleague from the University of Washington, R.L. "Bob" Morgan.

The first several weeks of the semester will be spent developing the skills needed to conduct good historical research. This will be done by using genealogy as a method to teach research and note taking skills. Students will develop an understanding of primary sources and how to find and use them. These skills will also help students explore the research process on a small scale before undertaking the larger research project.
Genealogical research should help students understand how to articulate research questions, collect evidence, analyze the evidence and present conclusions. The emphasis is on the research process not the genealogy.
This project will help students identify interesting, feasible, and relevant research topics and questions for research projects. It should also help students understand how history is constructed and the ways it can be debated. And finally, this research project is designed to help students discover that history matters, that it is interesting and that it is worth knowing.

I didn't see a fanpost or fanshot on this, and since it falls on the MCC Meetup Night, I figured it wouldn't hurt to post about this.
I got an email from the SFGiants.com website about the tribute for Sue Burns:
On Monday, July 27 prior to the 7:15 game versus the Pirates, the Giants will pay tribute to Giants Senior General Partner Sue Burns, who passed away earlier this week.
Sue and her late husband, Harmon, were instrumental in preventing the Giants from moving to Florida in 1992 by joining a group of local investors to purchase and keep the team in San Francisco. She also played a key role in the building of AT&T Park, ensuring that the Giants would remain in San Francisco for generations to come. Sue could always be found in her front row seat next to the Giants Dugout dressed in her signature orange and cheering for her beloved orange and black.
In the past decade, she attended at least 1,000 Giants games. Fans attending Monday night's game are encouraged to wear orange in honor of Sue.
I'll be there in orange.

If you're in the process of planning for a funeral, one of the things that you have to take care of is finding the best printable obituary templates. In fact, this is something that you should do your best in. After all, you are remembering the deceased and one of the most thoughtful ways to do it is to prepare and give out beautiful and heartwarming obituary pamphlets, and that starts with finding a unique printable funeral program template.
Microsoft Word is your Friend
Microsoft Word is not just for typing word documents. It also presents you with a lot of templates for just about everything, including printable obituary templates. In fact, MS Office also offers a free printable obituary template. Unfortunately, they have very limited printable funeral program templates. A lot of people can't even find a good template for the order of service.
The Old-Fashioned Way of Doing it
A lot of people still do it the old-fashioned way – that is to check out the available printable obituary templates of the funeral parlor that will handle the funeral. Unfortunately, this limits your options. Also, it's not something that anyone can do in Microsoft Word. As mentioned, you have to make sure that the pamphlets are beautiful and heartwarming, and you can only do this by checking out more printable funeral program templates.
Of course, the printable order of service should be clear and concise as well. Since only you know the information, you should be the one to do it.
Go Online
The best way to find the best printable obituary templates is to go online. There are sites that have a lot of templates available, such as Funeral Pamphlets. For starters, you can find a basic free printable obituary template. A lot of people take advantage of this free template, although most people look around the site for more printable funeral program templates since they have almost every theme imaginable that will help you honor and remember the deceased in the best way.
You can also find a printable order of service online. This can help you have a more organized funeral service.
Why Look for a Free Printable Obituary Template Online
Here's one reason – it's free! Most people feel that it's better than the free printable obituary templates offered by Microsoft Word, which are limited at best. You're limiting yourself when it comes to the printable obituary templates and you're limited yourself to what you can do when it comes to editing them.
You can also easily find a printable order of service online. In fact, you'll be given several design templates. All you need to do is to add in the information and insert the loved one's picture.
Of course, there are a lot of professionally-made templates in a wide variety of designs that you should check out in addition to the free templates. Don't limit yourself to just the free ones.
Do it Yourself?
Doing it yourself from scratch is almost out of the question since it's very hard and time consuming. Things have changed nowadays thanks to the Internet. Just in case you need convincing, here are the reasons why it's better to purchase an already designed template:
- You're in control.
You don't have to accept whatever free printable obituary template the funeral parlor or Microsoft Word is giving you. You can check out hundreds of printable obituary templates if you choose to, and choose the best one that you can find.
- You can save time.
Instead of spending hours trying to come up with a design in Microsoft Word, which is harder if you don't have a printable order of service, you can simply download a paid or free printable obituary template online.
You also don't have to spend time and effort going back and forth to the funeral parlor to finish the pamphlet. A good site offering printable funeral program templates offers instant email delivery so you'll have the template ready for printing quickly and easily.
- You can edit your chosen template easily.
This is important especially if you're looking for a printable order of service. You can add any information that you want. You can also add an image which is good since most people add a good picture of the deceased. You can also add a prayer, poem, etc. This is something that you can't easily do in Microsoft Word. Also, this is something that's not possible with some funeral parlors.
If you need any assistance, there is even live help available.
Obviously, it makes sense to do it the new way – which is to check out a free printable obituary template, check out other printable obituary templates, choose around 3-5 of the best printable funeral program templates, and ask other family members for help in choosing the best one. Once you've chosen a template, you can simply edit it with the needed information and wait for the email delivery so you can have it printed.

I am a "get up and go" kind of girl. I began wearing makeup pretty late in the game (senior year). I use it pretty sparingly, but I have a set routine that I like to follow for everyday wear.
I have a pretty big collection of Bobbi Brown makeup. I've gone to get my makeup done so many times for all sorts of events and end up leaving with two or three things. It adds up!
I have very fair skin, so I need to wear SPF. The BB SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer is perfect! It has all the wonderful benefits of a moisturizer, but also has just enough coverage to even out skin tone. I've been wearing the Alabaster tint and recently "upgraded" to Extra Light. It was pretty exciting to be tan enough to get a darker shade.
Because I'm pale, I need a little boost in my color. I hate sun bathing and I'm petrified of skin cancer, but I like looking tan. This bronzer is fabulous. It has just enough shimmer, but not enough to make you look like a middle schooler. I bought it at Sephora and the lady helped me pick out the perfect shade and showed me how to apply it.
This eye liner pencil is the best. I've used all kinds, but this one takes the cake in my opinion. You can make it as thick or as thin as you like and the other end is perfect to correcting mistakes. I love the Charcoal one because it's not Avril-like, but it's dark enough to get the job done.
I've tried so many mascaras. I have the shortest lashes and need some volume. I've used almost every mascara on the market and I love this one. If you're in the market for a new mascara, Lancome L' Extreme Waterproof is the one to get!
On other news, I've been going to my high school's varsity rowing camp. They needed a coxswain and I happily volunteered. There's only twelve rowers at the camp right now, so I've been going out in a four with rising seniors. I'm having so much fun and can't wait to get back on the Potomac in the fall!

DAILY SPORTS DEBATE: When should Qatar World Cup be played?
6:00am Thursday 9th January 2014 in Sport
FIFA continue to investigate the possibility of moving the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to the winter months with it appearing more and more likely.
FIFA's general secretary Jerome Valcke says it is likely to be held at some time between November 15 and January 15.
Without doubt this would make the most sense for the players involved meaning they would not have to face soaring temperatures during games.
But what sort of knock-on effect would it have on English football and should Qatar even have been awarded the World Cup in the first place?

According to the Saint Albans fire chief, the fire was caused by an electrical issue and is not considered suspicious.
The injured firefighter was released early this morning and will be taking physical therapy to treat his injuries.
SAINT ALBANS - Two firefighters were injured while battling a house fire in Saint Albans, according to Chief Stephen Parsons, with the Saint Albans Fire Department.
The Saint Albans Fire Department received a call just before 10 p.m. Monday about a house fire at 1048 College Circle.
While inside the house, a firefighter fell through the staircase, injuring himself. The second floor eventually collapsed.
Medics transported the firefighter to the hospital with non-life threatening injures.
Another firefighter sustained minor injuries but was not transported to the hospital.
No one was in the house at the time of fire.
Crews managed to extinguish the flames in less than an hour.
Lakewood and West Side Volunteer Fire Departments responded to the blaze, along with Nitro and Saint Albans Fire Department. South Charleston Fire Department also came to help respond to any other emergencies within Saint Albans while all firefighters dealt with the house fire.

Lie angles almost always range from the mid-50 degrees to the mid-60 degrees. In irons, the range is typically from 59 or 60 degrees to around 64 degrees. Long irons have lower lie angles (referred to as "flatter"), while short irons have larger lie angles (referred to as more "upright").
Finding the proper lie angle to fit a golfer's swing is an important part of the clubfitting process. Taller golfers tend to require larger lie angles (more "upright" clubs) while shorter golfers tend to require lower lie angles ("flatter" clubs) in order to make the best contact with the ball.
What happens if the lie angle of your clubs is ill-fitted for your swing? The clubface will wind up in an improper position at contact, resulting in poorer shots. If a club is in a toe-down position at impact (the toe scraping the ground with the heel up off the ground), it is sign that your clubs have a lie angle that is too flat (meaning, too low of an angle). If a club is in a toe-up position at impact (heel on the ground but toe up off the ground), it is a sign that your have a lie angle that is too upright (meaning too great of a lie angle).
For more on lie angle, see the FAQ, What is lie angle?

I'm writing for this week's TPM Cafe book club, which is about Eric Boehlert's Bloggers on the Bus: How the Internet Changed Politics and the Press. Should be fun—word is that they even got Atrios to agree to join in, as he's a major character in the book. (Pandagon plays a minor role, especially as ground zero for the "Tweety Effect" meme spreading.)
My first contribution about bloggers as insiders and outsiders is up right now.

by Sanford Levinson
I cannot restrain myself from offering some comment on the President's commutation of I. Lewis ("Scooter") Libby's prison sentence. There are so many things that one might say: The most obvious point is that Mr. Bush has been notably uncompassionate in his use of his pardoning power in his first six-years in office; moreover, as Governor of Texas he exhibited almost blithe disregard--enabled, to be sure, by his lawyer Alberto ("Fredo") Gonzales--of the poor wretches condemned to die under a notably slipshod system of Texas criminal justice. And, of course, one might note the silence of the President with regard to draconian enforcement of immigration policy that regularly breaks up families because a (legal) resident alien committed a quite minor crime (usually involving drugs) some years ago or because immigration officials conduct roundups of suspected illegal aliens. Mr. Bush's "compassion" for convicted felons is extraordinarily limited, so one obviously wonders what makes Mr. Libby so special.
As it happens, the commutation also connects with my general theme in most of my Open University postings, which involves criticisms of various aspects of our Constitution. Interestingly enough, if one reads the so-called "anti-Federalist" papers, collected together some years ago in a magnificent edition by Herbert J. Storing, one discovers that a number of the opponents of the Constitution were quite concerned by the power to pardon. George Mason, a distinguished Virginian who refused to sign the Constitution, noted that "the President of the United States has the unrestrained Power of granting Pardon for Treason; which may be sometimes exercised to screen from Punishment those whom he had secretly instigated to commit the Crime, and thereby prevent a Discovery of his own guilt." Luther Martin, another non-signatory, also objected to the potential "attempt [of the President] to assume to himself powers not given by the constitution, and establish himself in regal authority; in which attempt a provision is made for him to secure from punishment the creatures of his ambition, the associates and abettors of his treasonable practices, by granting them pardons should they be defeated in their attempts to subvert the constitution."
No one, of course, believes that Mr. Libby committed Treason; indeed, his most ardent defenders view him as attempting to save the Republic from the like of Joseph Wilson. But, just as obviously, Mr. Libby was convicted of perjury after an extensive trial, and the judge quite justifiably thought that Mr. Libby's actions demonstrated utter contempt for what the Constitution calls a "Republican Form of Government." Even if one agrees with President Bush that 30 months was "excessive," it is obviously a logical fallacy to assume that the alternative to 30 months is not a single day. More to the point, it is altogether tempting to put the pardon within the framework set out by Mason and Martin: The best explanation of the pardon is not compassion but, rather, fear that Mr. Libby might be tempted to provide more information about the cabal to turn the presidency (and vice-presidency) into "regal," if not out-and-out dictatorial, authorities totally independent from any scrutiny or accountability. This is simply one more illustration of the mendacity and corruption at the heart of the Bush Administration (and, therefore, of the present American system of government).
No one should doubt that we are in a constitutional crisis. And part of the crisis can be found within the Constitution itself. Perhaps it is a good idea that the President can pardon (or commute) convicted criminals. This is the notion that justice should be tempered by mercy. But it is also clear that the pardoning authority can be abused by unscrupulous presidents. Bill Clinton, of course, was roundly criticized for his last-day pardon of Marc Rich, though no one can seriously believe that high issues of the polity were involved. Some attributed it to campaign contributions; others, to the possibility of a "relationship" between the President and Rich's former wife, Denise. As with so much of the Clinton presidency, the act was tawdry but unthreatening to a Republican Form of Government. Mr. Bush's commutation, is such a threat, unless, of course, one defines a "Republican Form of Government" as "Government by the Republican Party." It will be interesting to see if any of those who look to the Founding Generation for wisdom about current realities will give any credence to the timely warnings of Mason and Martin (and others) about the potentially cancerous consequences of the Pardoning Power.

Blum glad to be back in Houston
Utility man had best years of career with Astros in '02-'03
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Geoff Blum is coming off a bad break up. The San Diego Padres did not renew Blum's contract at the end of 2007, ending a three-year relationship, and they didn't bother to say goodbye, either.
"Not [any phone calls] at all," Blum said. "Not one. Nothing. Not even a 'Good luck, take care. We're not going to try and offer you the same contract.' It was just crickets."
Blum said he loved playing for the Padres, but the way his hometown team went about parting ways irked him.
"Playing those three years in San Diego, I felt like I had three pretty good seasons and helped that team succeed," said Blum, 34, who hit .249 while filling an important utility need for the Padres. "To not get a call back pretty much showed me where the loyalty is in the game these days."
By pure coincidence, Blum ended up in another familiar city that he feels loyal to by signing on for his second tour in Houston in November.
He recalls fond memories from Minute Maid Park, both for and against the Astros.
But Blum didn't consciously come back to Houston. They courted him instead.
"I always thought it would be nice to come back here and play, but baseball is kind of strange," said Blum, who turned in identical 10-homer, 52-RBI seasons in 2002 and 2003 with the Astros. "You can't anticipate those things. When the opportunity came up, I definitely took advantage of it."
Astros manager Cecil Cooper approached Blum after the Padres fallout with a need for some versatility on the bench.
Blum, a nine-year veteran switch-hitter who has played every position except for pitcher, catcher and center field in his career, jumped at the chance, knowing he should not have a problem pleasing Cooper.
Blum is hitting .280 (7-for-25) this spring and has already played first, second and third in eight games.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
Blum quietly signed early during an otherwise noisy offseason that saw Houston acquire Miguel Tejada and Kaz Matsui to play ahead of him.
He came to the clubhouse to see a revamped roster almost nothing like what he had been a part of before.
In 2002 and 2003, Blum helped bring along young infielders Adam Everett and Morgan Ensberg. Now, he's just trying to keep up with proven mashers Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee and Tejada.
"I don't think anybody's going to mention my name in that sentence," Blum said of the team's power prowess. "I don't know what my game is. I'm going to try my best to get on base and let those guys do their job, facilitate them a little bit."
Blum is selling himself short in the slugging category, and Astros fans ought to know it.
After all, the most memorable moment of his career, a home run, came against Houston.
In Game 3 of the 2005 World Series, Blum broke a tie in the 14th inning with a shocking solo shot as his White Sox went on to take the game and then the Series from the Astros in a sweep.
It was his first at-bat in three weeks.
Blum described the hit as "stuff dreams are made of" at the time.
It is more of a nightmare for a dwindling group of veteran Astros, who gave Blum good-natured grief for ruining that season but have since swallowed the sorrow.
"The only thing I remember thinking, if somebody is going to beat us, it might as well be Blum because he was always a good friend," said Brad Ausmus, who caught Ezequiel Astacio during Blum's at-bat.
Chicago had picked up Blum in a trade with the Padres at the 2005 trade deadline. He re-signed with San Diego after the World Series and spent two more years there before the sides split without as much as a phone call.
Despite the rocky exit, Blum looks forward to returning to PETCO Park for the season-opening series beginning March 31. He hopes to visit with good friends Adrian Gonzalez, Khalil Greene and Josh Bard.
But there are others, mostly non-players, that he might not exchange pleasantries with.
"It's a business, we know that," Blum said before cracking a smile. "I'm sure there's a handful of people that I won't go out of my way to say hi to."

Statement by the President on the Passing of Dick Clark
The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
Michelle and I are saddened to hear about the passing of Dick Clark. With "American Bandstand," he introduced decades' worth of viewers to the music of our times. He reshaped the television landscape forever as a creative and innovative producer. And, of course, for 40 years, we welcomed him into our homes to ring in the New Year. But more important than his groundbreaking achievements was the way he made us feel – as young and vibrant and optimistic as he was. As we say a final "so long" to Dick Clark, America's oldest teenager, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends – which number far more than he knew.

Dow gets biggest jump in a month
INFLATION is low, earnings are high, investors are happy. Stocks shot higher yesterday, giving the market its biggest gain in a month. Results at Mattel, Goldman Sachs, and Johnson & Johnson were all above expectations.
It was the second day of broad gains following a down week last week. Investors had been worried headed into the third-quarter earnings season that corporate profits wouldn't be good enough to justify the run-up in stocks in recent months. While earnings haven't been out-of-the-park great, they haven't been as bad as some had feared.
Also yesterday, the Labour Department said consumer prices rose just 0.1 per cent last month, not counting food and energy costs. And gasoline prices have come down since then. Low inflation leaves consumers with more money to spend, and leaves the Federal Reserve free to continue its efforts to boost the economy.
In addition, an index of homebuilder sentiment came in at its highest level since 2006, suggesting that the construction industry is making a comeback.
"The picture of the economy is one that's still proving to be resilient to a lot of the problems that investors are worried about," said Gary Thayer, chief macro strategist for Wells Fargo Advisors.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 127.55 points to close at 13,551.78, its biggest gain since September 13.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 14.79 points to 1,454.92, and the Nasdaq composite rose 36.99 to 3,101.17.
The gains were broad, with nine out of 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 index rising. Telecom stocks had a tiny decline. Materials stocks rose 2.4 per cent.
Mattel jumped five per cent after reporting that brisk sales of American Girl dolls and Fisher-Price toys sent the company's profit well above analysts' forecasts. The stock gained US$1.78 to US$37.20.
Johnson & Johnson rose 95 cents to US$69.55 after revenues came in ahead of Wall Street's forecasts.
Among companies reporting after the closing bell, IBM fell in after-hours trading after its revenues came up short of Wall Street's forecasts. Intel fell after its earnings and revenue came in below forecasts.
Other stocks making big moves included:
Apple rose US$15.03, or 2.4 per cent, to US$649.79 after the company sent out invitations for an event next Tuesday where it is expected to announce a smaller iPad.
Citigroup rose 59 cents, US$37.25, following the sudden departure of CEO Vikram Pandit, who had steered the bank through the 2008 financial crisis. Pandit, who is also stepping down from the company's board, is being replaced by longtime Citi executive Michael Corbat.
A123 Systems, a maker of electric batteries for vehicles, put its US operations into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and said its automotive assets will be acquired by Johnson Controls for US$125 million. A123's stock plunged 18 cents to six cents.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.72 per cent from 1.67 per cent late Monday.
European markets also rose. Benchmark indexes were up 1.6 per cent in Germany, 2.4 per cent in France and 1.1 per cent in Britain.
The euro rose to almost US$1.30 against the dollar from US$1.29 the day before.

2013 NHL Playoffs Matchups and TV Coverage
I expect that the NHL will release their 2013 Conference Quarterfinals schedule Sunday night at 11:00pm Eastern on a special that will air on NHL Network. That's regardless of what happens tonight. However, with about 24 hours for schedules to leak before any is officially released, I'm sure some news will come out early.
In this post I'll list the NHL Playoff Matchups as they are confirmed, what networks will cover them, and the night the series will start. I'll also add full schedule information once it is available. Anything that is not confirmed, but worth mentioning (probably broadcasters and current, but not final standings) is in italics. I'm assuming every series will start Tuesday or Wednesday, but that's not confirmed. Feel free to post any information you come across in the comments.
Eastern Conference
(1) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (8) New York Islanders (Game 1, Wednesday)
(2) Montreal Canadiens vs. (7) Ottawa Senators (Game 1, Wednesday)
(3) Washington Capitals vs. (6) New York Rangers
(4) Boston Bruins vs. (5) Toronto Maple Leafs
Western Conference
(1) Chicago Blackhawks vs. (8) Minnesota Wild (Game 1, Tuesday at 8pm)
(2) Anaheim Ducks vs. (7) Detroit Red Wings (Game 1, Tuesday at 10:30pm)
(3) Vancouver Canucks vs. (6) San Jose Sharks
(4) St. Louis Blues vs. (5) Los Angeles Kings (Game 1, Tuesday)
*The Canadiens will likely play game 1 on Tuesday.
It's Super Tuesday… In the NHL
There are 5 NHL playoff games, all with a major impact on their series, taking place tonight. I have been channel surfing thoughout the night, and here are my thoughts as of right now.
Penguins @ Flyers – Game #4
Marc Andre Fleury stole the show again, after a lackluster game 3 on Sunday afternoon. He made all the big saves at the right time, and really won the game for the Penguins. The Flyers came out of the gate strong, but couldn't score a single goal in the first. Then the Pens got on the board with a pair in the second. The Flyers got close, making it 2-1 late in the third, but it was too little, too late as they are now in a deep 3-1 hole heading back to Pittsburgh for Thursday night's game (7:00pm, CBC).
Canucks @ Blues – Game #4
This was the other game I've watched a fair amount of, most of the third and all of OT. I know I say this a lot during the playoffs, but the story at the ScotTrade Center was also goaltending. Chris Mason and Roberto Luongo are the biggest reason why the game went 79 minutes and change. It wasn't for lack of opportunities for either team, especially St. Louis. However Alex Burrows scored with under a minute left in the first overtime session to send Vancouver on to the second round. It is the first time in the history of the Canucks that they have swept a team in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Canucks could have up to ten days off before they start their Western Conference Semi Final series.
Devils @ Hurricanes – Game #4
I didn't see a lot of this game. However, Carolina was up 3-0 halfway though. When New Jersey came back to score 3 unanswered to tie the game by the halfway point in the third. Then when the game surely looked like it was going to OT, Jussi Jokinen scored a goal on a tip in. The refs went upstairs to review the goal to see if it was in before the buzzer. After minutes of deliberation, they decided it was in fact a goal. Then Martin Broduer started to argue with the refs that he had been interfered with. Anybody who knows anything about Marty knows he doesn't do that often, so he probably had a case. Devils commentator Chico Resch, a former goalie himself, certainly thought he did. Marty went on to slam his stick against the boards, before throwing it as he exited the ice at the RBC Center in Raleigh. Game #5 goes Thursday in Newark (7:30pm, TSN2)
Red Wings @ Blue Jackets – Game #3
It was the first ever Stanley Cup playoff game in Columbus, and it didn't turn out too well for fans there. Detroit scored just over a minute in and never relinquished control, winning 4-1. Henrik Zetterberg scored twice. I didn't see any of the game really, so I don't know much more. The Wings can finish the series on Thursday (TSN, 7:00pm)
Sharks @ Ducks – Game #3
Another game I've saw very little of, I'm watching it now though. The Sharks are up 2-0, in what is a must win for them, midway through the second.
The Whole Playoff Picture
So we are almost through what might have been the best night of playoff hockey in recent memory and here is a quick rundown of how each series is looking. We should start with the fact that Vancouver is the first team to move to the second round. Detroit and Boston look like they will too, as both are up 3-0. The Flyers lost an important home game, and now have to win in Pittsburgh on Thursday, which is no easy task. Calgary has a really important home game tomorrow night, if they lose they will be down 3-1, while if they win the series will be tied 2-2 and Calgary will have the momentum heading back to Chicago. Carolina won an important home game, tieing their series with the Devils up at 2 heading back to Newark. The Ducks are currently winning a must win, and the Capitals need a win in The Big Apple tomorrow night.

Intranet solution for the Norwegian Red Cross (Norges Røde Kors) based on SharePoint 2010.
Norwegian Red Cross wanted a solution to form the backbone of information- and working processes within the organization.
The vision of the project has been to "liberate more time to humanitarian activities through a complete and well-functioning working tool that can ensure availability and quality for volunteers and employees".
The new intranet solution is now the core tool for the daily work of the users, and an important part in the volunteers' local work.
"Kule Ting" (Cool stuff) is a series of "wonder books" that children and adults can enjoy together, and we have created an iPhone and iPad version of the book series.
The seven museums wanted to offer families with children and youth an app for communicating art by activity, participation and reflection.
The client Norgesgruppen wanted to create a smarter shopping list, and we solved this by creating the app MinMeny.

A cold front will be moving across North Texas by tomorrow morning dropping temperatures to the middle 70s by the mid-afternoon hours. Afternoon highs will still be quite pleasant, followed by 80s returning for the rest of the week. There could be a passing shower across the region, but the chances for rain are only around 20%. Low level moisture, coupled with a storm system moving inland from the coast of California, will increase our cloudiness towards the end of the week. There will be a slight chance for rain on Saturday, but perhaps better chances on Saturday night and Sunday. Most of the dynamics for significant precipitation will be further north. Stay tuned for later updates.

Tony Sparano would never come out and say it, actually it is his policy to never speak bad about his team, but how do you think they really feel about this current linebacker group?
Do you think they are ready to start all over? bring in more talent in FA and the draft?
We all are screaming YES but do they feel the same way?
We will never know the answer to that question until the NFL Draft and FA period is done. In the meantime, I wanted to show how you can consider our LB's play has been this season by simply putting there numbers against other teams that play the similar 3-4 defense we do. Please note I only used the starters from each team.
The teams I have decided to highlight are the Steelers, Jets and Ravens. All of these teams have a similar record to our team so it should be a good test to see how these groups match up. To make this section readable for everyone I am simply going to breakdown the group by Tackles, Sacks, INT's, Pass Defended, Forced Fumbles and the leading tackler in the LB group.
Tackles - 301
Sacks - 30.5
Pdef - 17
Leading Tackler - James Farrior, 95 Tackles
Overall amazing numbers for a team that is having a down season. Each player in this group is pretty strong and it shows. The most amazing part is you can see the effect they have in the passing game whether it is in Pdef or Sacks. Statistically speaking they turnover the ball the most and are in the Top 2 in every catergory, the scary part is most of these players are young except for James Farrior.
Tackles - 319
Sacks - 15.5
Pdef - 6
Leading Tackler - David Harris, 126 Tackles
I was expecting more when I started this as Sexy Rexy is know for getting pressure on QB's but these numbers don't really show that. The one thing it does show is that this group hits the other team with both ILB leading the team in tackles.
Tackles - 272
Sacks - 12.5
Pdef - 17
Leading Tackler - Ray Lewis, 121 Tackles
This group defenitly misses Bart Scott but it still has decent numbers but not numbers you would expect from a Ravens defense. The one thing they do well though is Pdef and Ray Lewis is still a beast as NFL.com has his at 121 tackles, 2nd best among LB's I looked at.
Tackles - 196
Sacks - 16
Pdef - 8
Leading Tackler - Akin Ayodele, 65 Tackles
The numbers themselves aren't too bad in most areas as they are similar to other teams but the main concern that jumps out at you is tackles .. the next closest team is the Ravens and they have 76 more by there starting group. Furthermore we are the only team in this group that doesn't have a LB that leads the team in tackles, Akin is 3rd best on the Dolphins.
So overall what we need is young Zach Thomas .. a relentless tackling machine. Someone who just has a nose for the ball. Of the players I think you would want to bring JT back as he makes game changing plays and without his stats (7sacks, 3FF, 3Pdef, 1INT) this would have also looked much worse.
The next step is to see where the Trifecta goes and gets this unit upgraded in the offseason, will it be at the OLB position due to the age factor or will it be the ILB position due to lack of productivity or better yet will it be both. The options are endless with the FA and Draft ... all I ask for after really seeing this is that they don't let another offseason pass without paying attention to this area.

Pictures from Pinterest
Did you make New Year's Resolutions this year? This is the first year that comes close to me feeling as though I am making New Year's resolutions. For the last several months, I've been working through some things that have enabled me to consciously make small shifts in my thinking and doing that will hopefully lead to bigger shifts that will continue to make me feel more fulfilled.
One thing I'm really working hard on right now is allowing myself to be more creative. I mentioned in this post that I often feel like a hummingbird in motion all of the time: doing, thinking, researching, dreaming, and creating things that I sometimes only share with one person or no one at all, but the truth is that I have only recently given myself permission to fully embrace who I really am.
I am a creative creature who has no interest in doing what everyone else is doing. It's not that I don't care about other people. I do care; sometimes too much. It's just that I'm ready to fully express my unique self without caring how others may view me. I am silly, serious, opinionated, type A, organized, chaotic, excessively energetic, extraverted, introverted, spontaneous, fun-loving, and a dork at times. I'm cool with all that. We're all an amalgam of complex and sometimes contradictory traits. I'm feeling good about letting out my colorful and sensitive personality.
I've worked hard to let go of the idea of trying to please other people and doing the "right" thing because that way of living doesn't work out so well in the long run. We do things we don't want to do, give up things we shouldn't give up, and become bogged down and resentful if we don't listen to our inner voice. I'm trying really hard to silence that part of me that questions my own interests and abilities.
Everyone has their own ideas of what is acceptable and good, and their ideas may be completely different from my way or your way of thinking. That's okay—that's life!
I've learned over the years that other people's judgments and negativity has little to do with me personally and has more to do with that person's self-esteem and ego issues. Practicing the art of detachment has done wonders for me. It's not that I don't take responsibility for my own actions or that I don't care if someone acts like an ass, but I won't let someone else's negativity seep into me or alter my course of actions. Why let one person or even a couple have power over you? The world is wide and expansive if we allow it to be. I want to expand my world. It's never too late!
When I was a little girl, I wrote in my journals daily, obsessively sketched dresses and gowns, created cartoon characters, and doodled for hours. "Child's play" I thought, as I grew up. I buried my creative side deep in my being because as a child I felt those activities held low value to the people around me. That may or may not be true, but that's what I believed. I stopped sketching and cartooning sometime around 8th grade because I had more important things to do like schoolwork, sports, getting a job, and attaining important goals. How did I decide what goals were more important than being authentically me? Where did these goals come from? Were they mine? My parents? My peers?Teachers? Societies?
It makes me sad and a little bit angry that I didn't allow myself to fully express my individual self sooner. Being creative felt like a waste of time back in the day because I felt the pressure, we all feel at some point, to get serious about life—be responsible. What I wanted to do seemed like living in romanticized unrealistic la la land.
Looking back, my creative energy has been pleading to come out. The urge is getting stronger every year. I think that's why I often feel like I have excessive energy begging to be used. The energy manifested itself into anxious feelings of needing to do something, but not knowing exactly what I should be doing. I have thrown that energy into other things, but that wasn't enough.
The truth of what I want to be doing has been muddled for so long, it's almost like I have to get to know myself again, but not really because it's always been there deep down waiting for permission to come out to play.
People, who know me well, know that I love reading an eclectic array of books. I read every day. But, not many people know that I have also been quietly pouring over art books, visiting art galleries, and going on art tours with my oldest daughter, Bella, for years.
Recently, I couldn't pull myself away from an untitled Sam Gilliam piece at the Seattle Art Museum. I was mesmerized. I wanted to watch the artist creating that piece. I wondered, what was he thinking about when he created that? It felt so good to be there.
When I looked into my mom's hope chest last month (I wrote about that here), it was like opening a treasure chest of memories and feelings. That playful artistic side of me was buried in those chests. I saw her there. The memories and feelings came back and I thought:
I am creative
we are all creative in our own way.
It is as if the light has been switched on within me.
I went out and bought acrylic paints, brushes, and a 2 x 4 canvas to create art for a wall in my daughter's room that had been calling my name for quite some time. I sat in Bella's room by myself and sketched and then I began painting. I have no schooling and no knowledge of what exactly I should be doing. I didn't care if I sucked; I needed to see how it would feel to create art again.
It was amazing. I felt completely relaxed, centered, and at peace. I was in the state of flow. I was so immersed in what I was doing that I was completely unaware of my surroundings. I felt as though the images on the canvas were painting themselves. I'm not saying my first finished project was great or even good, but I am saying that it felt wonderful to do something that felt so natural and needed. I found a piece of myself that I had carefully and deliberately kept locked away.
All of those voices inside me that had said things like "I'm no artist, who am I kidding, I'm not creative, who would like my stuff anyway" were silenced. It seems strange to me that I didn't let myself dabble before. What was I afraid of? Perhaps I was afraid to love something so much that I believed as a child held no concrete value or I perhaps I was afraid of what other people may think. Maybe I was judging myself.
Enough of that weird thought process.
I'm currently creating bracelets, sketches, mixed media bookmarks, and painting acrylics on canvas for a wall in our house that needs a pop of color. I'm having so much fun! I start a 5-week painting class at a local gallery later this month. It was a Christmas gift from my mom. I couldn't be more exited!
It's like I'm finally allowing myself to express who I truly am—a creative creature.
Whatever it is you want to do, begin today. Just do it. :)
Happy New Year, everyone!

Michael Parkatti noted how poorly Sam Gagner's line performed against Derek Roy's line in last night's loss to the Canucks:
On the bad side, the Gagner line with Hemsky and Paajarvi were by far the worst line of the night, ending last, 4th last, and 3rd last in Corsi per minute. They saw a heaping tablespoon of Hansen/Roy/Higgins and did absolutely terribly. I realize Roy was probably a bit pumped up playing the first game for his new team, but it was just unacceptable to be dominated in this fashion — Gagner was 16% on the night!
While an injury to Magnus Paajarvi may have contributed to Roy's dominance, reading that immediately brought to mind the Oilers - Stars matchups from earlier in the season. I recalled Gagner's line being stomped by Roy's line in those games as well, so I went to Michael's game reports and looked up the shot attempts while these two were on the ice together and sure enough:
February 6, Oilers vs. Stars: Gagner -2 vs. Roy in 5.4 minutes
February 12, Oilers vs. Stars: Gagner -6 vs. Roy in 4.8 minutes
February 28, Oilers vs Stars: Gagner -6 vs. Roy in 3.1 minutes
April 4, Oilers vs. Canucks: Gagner -10 vs. Roy in 9.5 minutes
That's uncanny. While Gagner's -10 against Roy last night looks terrible, on a per minute basis, it was his second-best performance of the season against Roy! Overall, Gagner is -24 shot attempts in 22.8 minutes against Roy this season, giving up more than one shot per minute more than his line is taking. The Corsi/60 translation is -63.2.
Eliminate Gagner's time on ice and shot attempts against Roy and Gagner's Corsi per/60 moves from -15.8 to -10.6 for the season.

Since I'm too cheap/poor to subscribe to recruiting services, I usually do a little investigative work to try and figure out all I can from free headers. On our Rivals frontpage it shows Navarro J.C. player Cameron Henderson has planned a scheduled visit. He is a former 4 star recruit (as per rivals) at 6'5, 250 is a great size for a 3-4 player. I did a little research on him, and found out that as a former Auburn player, under Tubs, he left Auburn under shaky circumstances, largely blamed due to when Tubs was unceremoniously let go.
Now I'm not getting my hopes up, but all I'm saying is this guy already has D-1 (SEC) experience, has eligibility (not sure how much) and well frankly if a guy leaves a school because his coach left, who's to say he won't follow the coach back?

Sand lake villa is every thing it says it is.
Review submitted: January 30, 2010 Date of arrival: December 28, 2009
This place surpassed our expectations.It was clean and beds comfortable. Beautiful view of the lake. Hot water worked well in showers. Could have used better lighting as we are readers. It has all the little extras that are a pain to buy, straws, napkins , toilet paper, food wrap. big fridge. Walk in closet upstairs. All cleaning tools and supplies. Close to anything you could possibly want. Disney, Sea World,Universal,shopping. Restaurants. Smoke house Grill is fabulous. It doesn't have internet but we found it was free at the Chick fil A on Sandlake just around the corner. It wasn't snooty. All the people and dogs we met were friendly. There is a dog park nearby at Dr. Phillips Park. There are gators in the lake as we saw a 6 footer swim by when we sat in the sun on the patio with chairs provided. Fireworks spectacular even when it is cloudy. Pool wonderful. Lots of Palm trees and trails. Security patrols regularly. Kitchen is small but be creative. 3tvs with lots of channels. Storage for our roof rack. Thank you Martha.

- The Beatles 1, (Apple CDP 7243 5 299702 2)
- Written by John on April 15, 1964, on the back of an old greeting card, in direct response to the need for a title track for the Beatles' first film. Ringo had inspired the title after one particularly busy day; not realizing the sun had gone down, he claimed it had been "A hard day's... night!" The malapropism became the name of the film, then called Beatlemania!, although whether the idea to use the phrase came from the group, the movie's director, Dick Lester, or the film's producer, Walter Shenson, is a matter of debate.
- Although John and Paul frequently sang their own contibutions to a song, Paul took lead vocals on the bridges here simply because John felt his own vocal register wasn't high enough.
- The solo has been rumored to be George Martin playing a harpsichord, as two different octaves are heard, but the actual effect was caused by Harrison playing his solo on guitar and Martin doubling him on piano.

BBC radio versions: 2 (for the BBC radio programs Top Gear and From Us To You)
- The song's famous opening chord has been a subject of much debate and even sound analysis, a debate made more intriguing by the fact that the chord, which sounds like a single guitar, actually represents the whole band, in this case John and George playing Fadd9 (notes: FACG), Paul playing a D note on the bass, and George Martin striking an open D chord on the piano. In order to reconstruct the chord alone, the closest approximation is a Dm7sus4 (DFGAC).
- London's Evening Standard reporter, Maureen Cleave, a friend of Lennon's, has claimed that she urged John to change the original lines "I find my tiredness is through/And I feel all right," which later became "I find the things that you do/They make me feel all right." This has never been verified, however. (Cleave would later conduct the interview in which John would make his infamous "bigger than Jesus" comment.
- This is the first of eight songs taken from the Hard Day's Night soundtrack and issued on singles -- under their licensing agreement, only United Artists, producer of the film, could legally sell a soundtrack album in the US, so Capitol resigned themselves to pulling as many singles as possible from it.
- This was the first Beatles song to win a Grammy, in 1964 (the first of their Grammys came earlier that same night, for Best New Artist).

I'm useless at using eyeliner which is why I bought this. I thought it would be easier to use than my usual kohl pencils, and it is. I really like the colour too, not as intense as black. The only thing is I wouldn't feel too comfortable trying to sharpen it and after using it for a while it can get a bit blunt. For the price, it's amazing.Flag this review

Poland….. no. Calumet, yes. I'll be there at the end of May. Until then, the plog will probably be more active than it has been for the last year and half with new prep research for the big trip. Things are starting to settle down here in lower MI which means more time for research, genealogy, blogging. Maybe there may even be some time to finish the pytlewski website.
Good for you, Jeff!! I'm in the midst of 2 sons' wedding preparations and a medical school graduation for one of them. Oh, and then there is work, as you well know! Someday I'll get to retire and then I can go there and happily research to my heart's content. Have a great trip and let me know if you come up with anything exciting.

Access to Sotheby's 10th-floor galleries, where some of the house's most valuable auction lots are on view ahead of this week's evening sales, has been limited to members of the press and Sotheby's account holders, as the house attempts to prevent more of the protests that Occupy Wall Street demonstrators have staged in recent weeks, disrupting Sotheby's auctions in New York and London. Those wishing to view the galleries at the top of the building must first establish a $5,000 line of credit with the auction house in order to become a member.
Earlier protesters acted of out solidarity with the Teamsters Local 814 art handlers, who have been locked out of their jobs at Sotheby's over contract negotiations since July.
The new policy marks a departure from the usual way Sotheby's exhibits its lots—normally, anyone is allowed to walk in off the street and examine the millions of dollars of art on display. On Friday, Sotheby's told Gallerist that it intended to take measures to prevent protests ahead of its evening sales, but representatives did not provide details.
"I simply cannot believe that they are preventing the general public from even accessing these works which, for the most part, spend their entire lives in private collections," said Emerson Bowyer, a Columbia doctoral candidate in art history, who normally visits the exhibitions, but was turned away this weekend.
Representatives for Sotheby's were unavailable for comment.
Other sections of the building remain open to non-members. Still, visitors must check in at the front desk and show identification, a new cautionary procedure that was implemented several weeks ago in an attempt to keep protestors out of the public auctions.
I agree with Mr. Bowyer.
My father would always come in from New Jersey and I would meet him at Sotheby's. He had a marvelous signature collection and, yes, many were from Sotheby's. Many times he asked me to go to Sotheby's to preview and examine the signatures for him. I lived in Manhattan and just strolled over. And while I was there I could see other exhibits, even those on the 10th floor. I would tell my family and friends what I saw. As a result, many came to the auctions.
Sotheby's certainly enriched my life, (and in return, my dad, his friend's and mine, enriched Sotheby's.) Indeed, Sotheby's enriched many people's lives. And to now end the lofty and courageous way that Sotheby's conducted business is almost like losing a limb.
[...] First Sotheby's locked out their art handlers, and now they are locking out the general public. GalleristNY reportsthat the auction giant is limiting access to its 10th floor galleries where some of the house's [...]
