The NHL and the NHL Players' Association have come to terms on a joint agreement to alter regulations on the size of goaltender equipment. An NHL spokesperson confirmed to SB Nation that the rule change will specifically focus on the height of leg pads and will be determined based upon the distance between the top of the knee and waist.
The size of a goaltender's pads will be directly proportionate to the size of the player. This will prevent a 6'4 goaltender from having the same sized leg pads as a 6'6 goaltender. Specific details were not immediately available at the time of this writing, but the reduction rate was described as being somewhere between 10-15 percent.
This coincides with information provided by Kevin Woodley of InGoal Magazine.
Told NHL gets its 10% reduction on goalie pad knee-to-thigh allowance (~2" avg) but PA balked at enforcing thigh rise separately with 8" max— Kevin Woodley (@KevinisInGoal) August 7, 2013
New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist already provided an example of this change as he tweeted out a photo of his newer, smaller leg pads on Tuesday morning. Based upon this new rule, the distance between the top of Lundqvist's knee and waist was disproportionate to the size of his pads last season, which forced him to shorten them for 2013-14.
The concept of altering goalie equipment was broached during the competition committee meeting in June. Topics such as hybrid icing and mandatory visors were also discussed. The issue surrounding goalie pads was sent to subcommittee to better analyze the potential of a rule change.
They have apparently bridged the gap on any issue with the alteration.

Recreational avenues include several sports centres, country clubs and the Extreme Park. It also offers a numerous number of schools at all levels and that cater to many different fields, from culinary (the Cilantro Culinary Academy) to technical. Medical assistance is provided by the Sime Darby Medical Centre, a private organization. A lot of the area's charm is also that is right next to Bandar Sunway, home to the famous Sunway Lagoon. Many amenities are shared between the two due to their close proximity.

I hate to tell you about a sold-out show if you didn't snatch a ticket, but tonight's House of Blues show with City and Colour is certainly the hot ticket tonight. Hailing from Canada, City and Colour is the moniker for musician Dallas Green, who is finally hitting his stride in the U.S. after two previously well-received efforts in Canada. The current album, Little Hells, was recorded in an old church onto tape, so the sound is warm and fuzzy. Whether that can translate to the House of Blues stage remains to be seen, but a sold-out crowd will be there to judge for itself. Get there early to catch openers Hacienda.

3Par Monday unveiled a new line of midrange storage servers based on a quad-controller architecture. The company said the new arrays offer greater throughput, capacity and require less power than its previous midrange offerings.
3Par said the new InServ F-Class Storage Servers can be clustered for greater performance and offers features and benefits typically associated with high-end arrays while carrying an starting $80,000 price tag usually associated with midrange products.
[ Cut straight to the key news for technology development and IT management, with our once-a-day summary of the top tech news. Subscribe to the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
The InServ F-Class arrays include four controllers -- unusual for midrange Fibre Channel arrays, analysts said. Rick Villars, an analyst at IDC, in Framingham, Mass., said the midrange storage market's traditional dual-controller array architectures that had "not changed in more than 15 years."
"The quad-controller, Mesh-Active architectural shift announced by 3Par is long overdue for midrange storage," Villars said. "It's great to see them bringing these features to the midrange market during these difficult economic times." The upgrade improves the efficiency and simplifies the administration of midrange systems, he added.
Unlike the dual controller midrange arrays -- where each LUN (or volume) is active on only a single controller -- 3Par's so-called Mesh-Active architecture allows each LUN to be active on every mesh controller in the array, thereby delivering more load-balanced performance, 3Par said. Thus the new F-Class array can save money by allowing users to purchase up to 50 percent fewer arrays while increasing capacity utilization and reducing power use and cooling requirements, the company added. Fewer servers also means that companies need less floor space to run them, it said.
The new F-Class arrays also feature the 3Par's Gen3 ASIC, which processes data and metadata independently in different processor and memory subsystems within the controllers, eliminating the impact that sequential work loads (like data mining or backups) can have on transactional work loads such as databases, the company said. Most legacy midrange arrays must be deployed for either transactional or sequential work loads -- a limitation that further encourages legacy array sprawl. F-Class arrays from 3Par also support virtual domains, a type of storage hypervisor that allows users to create hundreds of virtual arrays, each with secure management domains for different departments or user groups, and thin provisioning, which further reduces power, cooling and floor space requirements. The F-Class array also supports what 3Par calls "Fast RAID 5," which delivers performance within 9 percent of RAID 1 to midrange users.
The F-Class arrays run the same InForm Operating System used on the company's high-end InServ arrays. "With the InForm OS, 3Par customers have been able to reduce administration time by up to 90 percent by eliminating tedious manual capacity planning," the company said in a statement. "The InForm OS offers instant, application-tailored provisioning through fine-grained virtualization, intelligently and autonomically managing provisioning to simplify storage administration."
3Par InServ F-Class Storage Servers are now available.

I am listing this separately in the hopes of attaining more info, and because this route shares only the first 15 feet of climbing with Ruper, and from it, one can not get back to the the Ruper line. A line was in Rossiter's old book, Boulder Climbs South and is no longer present. Andy Donson suggested this line to me as an alternative to lower Grand Giraffe when we arrived at the same time and place.

A scandal in global warming research is unfolding that isn't going away. Internal correspondence from the Climate Reseach Unit (CRU), the research center and ground zero for global warming advocacy, was released that reveals that the top global warming scientists hid data that proves the earth has been cooling for the last ten years, conspired against colleagues that were global warming skeptics, and cooked the numbers to keep the lucrative grants coming. It is taking time to digest all the facts but you can read some preliminary conclusions here: London Telegraph, Pajamas TV, Fox News, Washington Times, (Google "climategate" for more). Global warming was of course the centerpiece of the Ecumenical Patriarch's pastoral message to America during his trip to the United States a few weeks back. The Green Patriarch embraced the Progressive environmentalist agenda, so much so that he lent the full weight of his office to urge the passage of political legislation such as the Copenhagen … [Read more...]

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew sums up visit with Greek 'diaspora' in America
Turkey, Nov. 10, 2009 Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew referred to the great progress made by the Greek Diaspora in statements he made upon his return from a two-week visit to the United States. Addressing the faithful in the Church of the Taxiarchs in Bosporus, the Ecumenical Patriarch stated that the progress achieved by the Greek Community, its dedication to the Mother Church and the Ecumenical Patriarchate were evident everywhere he went, adding that the Greek-Americans enjoy the respect of the US authorities. Bartholomew stated that he was received with great honors by the US leadership, the academic world and major institutions. The Ecumenical Patriarch emphasized the comments made by US Vice President Joe Biden who underlined that the Ecumenical Patriarchate has been brave despite the insecurity surrounding it and the adverse conditions under which it performs its ecumenical mission and service, thus winning great respect and appreciation. In a formal dinner … [Read more...]
Boldness or Irrelevance?
John Mark Reynolds at the Scriptorium: There is a boldness that should come with the a commitment to Christ. When the Green Patriarch (Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew) goes to a university ridden with the problems of our age and only tells them the parts of the Christian faith with which they are likely to agree, we are troubled by it. We hope he did not wimp out to curry political favor for causes where he is desperate for Western support, but we long for the clarity or boldness of a John Paul the Great in Poland. We cannot judge for certain, but the Biblical prophetic witness sounds more like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's address to Harvard. There a brave man spoke truth to power . . . not in our modern trivialization of the phrase where it means taking on figures that are unpopular in our own social set. Solzhenitsyn did not take on oil companies to Green Peace or abortionists at Liberty University. He attacked those he admired in other ways or whose admiration he might have … [Read more...]
Green Patriarch's priorities in Washington
Fox News contributing editor Mike Emanuel catches up with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew after his Nov. 3 meeting with President Obama: ... I asked His All Holiness about his priorities during his time here in Washington, and he said meeting with the highest representatives of the Obama administration is part of that -- noting that he just met with Mr. Obama, he'll meet with Vice President Biden tomorrow, and will have dinner with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday. The Ecumenical Patriarch is also due to meet with Congressional leaders on Wednesday. "This is an honor for us, for our Church, and it is a concrete sign of the respect the American administration has for institutions with long history and valuable service to the human kind such as the Ecumenical Patriarchate," Patriarch Bartholomew said. "The Ecumenical Patriarchate is not simply the religious center, the center creating civilization, it has contributed much to the European culture and civilization. … [Read more...]

This reciprocal visit to the one paid by President Obama earlier this year (April 7, when he made his first overseas visit to a Muslim country, Turkey) followed up on their conversations at that time on the subjects of the recently concluded environmental symposium on the Mississippi River and the re-opening of the Theological School of Halki.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew at Georgetown
Address of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew "A Changeless Faith for a Changing World" Center for American Progress and Georgetown University Gaston Hall of Georgetown University Washington, DC (November 3, 2009) Remarks as Prepared for Delivery ------------ Thank you very much, Professor James J. O'Donnell, Provost of Georgetown University, and John Podesta, President of the Center for American Progress. We are also especially grateful for the students who are present with us today, and for their interest. Progress is often equated with change. So let us acknowledge this: it may appear strange for a progressive think tank to sponsor a lecture by the leader of a faith that takes pride in how little it has changed in 2,000 years. The fact is that our first instinct in Orthodoxy is to conserve the precious faith that has been handed down to us in an unbroken line from Jesus Christ through the Apostles. In the case of our Ecumenical Patriarchate, the First … [Read more...]
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew launches a think tank
From his speech today at the Brookings Institution, "Saving the Soul of the Planet": ... in addition to our international ecological symposia, the Orthodox Church has decided to establish a center for environment and peace. Hitherto, the Ecumenical Patriarchate has endeavored to raise regional and global awareness on the urgency of preserving the natural environment and promoting inter-religious dialogue and understanding. Henceforth, the emphasis will be educational – on the regional and international levels. The Center for Environment and Peace is planned to be housed in a historical orphanage, on Büyükada, one of the Princess Islands near Istanbul. The building was once the largest and most beautiful wooden edifice in Europe, and it will embody a new direction in the initiatives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Whereas the orphanage was at one time forcibly closed by Turkish authorities in an act of religious intolerance, it is highly expected to be returned to the … [Read more...]
Going global with the Cola Bear
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Archbishop Demetrios paid a visit to Coca-Cola world headquarters last week to meet with Muhtar Kent, president and chief executive officer of the company. It is a striking image here: Two hierarchs from the ancient see of Constantinople meeting with the mascot of a company that is the symbol par excellence of economic and cultural globalization. One of the pleasant surprises in the Patriarch's book "Encountering the Mystery" was his assertion that "the Orthodox Church is not opposed to an economic progress that serves humanity as a whole." This is about 180 degrees from what you usually hear from Old World hierarchs, who so often condemn globalization and its chief architect, "the West." In truth, there's a bit of that in Bartholomew's views, but more balance. Unfortunately, like other Orthodox hierarchs, he continues to view economic activity as a zero sum game -- whoever gains does so by taking from someone else. There's no real understanding … [Read more...]
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew at Fordham
(sigh) Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew was at Fordham University in New York to receive an award yesterday and give a speech. A number of things jump out. First, a recap. In his post, "The Patriarch, the Enlightenment, and the Environment," here on the Observer, Fr. Gregory Jensen reminds us that the human heart needs communion with a person, not an inanimate object. Whether in the Holy Trinity or in the human family, personal communion is radically different then the union possessed by "molecules of water" or by "particles of atmosphere." The union of the physical creation is impersonal. There is no communion between molecules of water or particles of air. Thus the comparison of the human to the non-human world in these terms makes all conversation about what is in our best personal or national interest meaningless. When particularity is subsumed into an abstraction, the differences between people ultimately have no meaning. But, in his Fordham speech, Patriarch … [Read more...]

Another example of how people only think of themselves and do not care about others
on Dec 27, 2007 at 5:26 pm
We need to create civil code that results in substantial fines AND jail time for people who so wantonly disregard the health of others, for their own convenience. I hope she recovers, and that if she traveled intentionally knowing she had active TB, that someone publishes her name, so that she receives her due of public retribution and shame. There is simply no excuse for this. One can only imagine the psychological pain this will cause to those she knowingly exposed (if that turns out to be the case)? The IHO needs to change its rules; they're as liable as any person who intentionally exposes others to drug-resistant TB, or other disease.
on Dec 28, 2007 at 11:08 pm
I think she should face significant penalties, including jail time, for willfully exposing others to a potentially deadly disease. If it could be proven she infected someone who later dies, what would the criminal charge be?
And why is her name being kept secret? She should be exposed to the public, just as she exposed the public to risk.
Because I was exposed to TB by an illegal immigrant, I have to face the rest of my life with the worry that I a greater likelihood that I could get this terrible disease. Every cough, every bit of fever, is a source of anxiety.

The United States Postal Service announced Wednesday that it will be eliminating Saturday mail service in order to remain financially solvent.
The move, which will cut first class mail on Saturdays, is expected to save the Postal Service $2 billion a year. It will still allow for Saturday delivery of packages, express mail, and priority mail.
"We do understand how important it is when you order something to get it when it comes in, especially medicine and stuff like that," Vassar Street Post Office Manager Toni Passot said. "So we are still delivering packages on Saturdays."
Saturday service will be discontinued starting in August. It is a move meant to save the struggling postal service, which has lost $41 billion over the last six years, despite laying off 35 percent of its workforce.
"It would be irresponsible for the Postal Service not to pursue this course," Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said. "We are in a position where we have to make some tough choices and decisions."
These are tough choices that have been looming since email and online billing took over for traditional mail.
"With everyone paying bills online and stuff, the mail volume has declined drastically," Passot said.
On the other hand, the internet has actually boosted business for package delivery. That is one reason why that service is still running on Saturdays.
"There is a strong and growing demand for our package service and we need to meet that demand over the coming decade," Donahoe said.
Congress usually has to approve any big changes with the Postal Service, but the independent agency found a way to side-step lawmakers. And most Americans believe it is the right move. Polls show nearly seven in 10 people support the switch to five-day delivery service if it cuts costs.
However, the president of the letter carriers union said the end of Saturday mail delivery is a "disastrous idea" that would have a negative effect on millions of Postal Service customers.
That's an attitude that local letter carriers have had for years.
"If you cut one day of delivery, close down plants, you're lowering service," Nevada Rural Letter Carrier's Association President Todd Floyd said at a rally in 2011. "As you lower service, fewer people might come to the Postal Service in the future. I don't want to cut service. I want to improve service."
Local post offices that currently have Saturday hours will remain open under the new schedule. Customers with PO boxes will still be able to get their mail on Saturdays, as normal.
Nevada Senator Harry Reid issued the following statement:
"While I question the legality of the Postmaster General's decision to suspend Saturday mail delivery, this unfortunate scenario could have been wholly prevented if the House had passed the Senate's bipartisan postal reform bill in the last Congress. Cutting down mail delivery to five days per week will not save the Postal Service from insolvency. This short sighted measure will deal a crippling blow to the millions of Americans and small businesses who rely on the timely and reliable delivery to every community in our nation.
"Given the importance of the Post Office to communities in Nevada and across our nation, such a drastic policy change cannot be enacted without approval from Congress. Instead, the Postmaster General relied on flawed legal guidance to claim that he can circumvent Congress' authority on the matter. The Postmaster Generals' actions have damaged his reputation with Congressional leaders and further complicates Congressional efforts to pass comprehensive postal reform legislation in the future."
"No one disputes that the Postal Service is in urgent need of reform. Passing meaningful postal legislation is one of my top priorities for this Congress and I hope House Republicans will finally join the Senate in bringing a bill up for a vote."

Trader tells the truth shock!
Arsène Wenger – clearly the worst football manager ever
For my sins I'm a bit of an Arsenal fan. Like the glutton for punishment I am, I also happen to be a Guardian reader (probably no surprise to anyone who's read my increasingly infrequent pinko leftie-liberal ranting on these very pages). These days it's becoming increasingly difficult to happily combine the two.
I don't care what any fusty old git says about the Telegraph having the best sports coverage, to my mind the dear old 'Graun' wins it by a country mile. Football writers like David Lacey & Kevin McCarra, alongside broader sportswriters like Paul Hayward and Richard Williams, are – if you'll pardon the rather awkward pun – leagues ahead of the competition in terms of quality, if not readership.
Nevertheless, the (admittedly Manchester-leaning) Guardian seem to have developed an unhealthy obsession with the fortunes of Arsenal Football Club. In fact, scanning the rest of the media, the annual end-of-season implosion of North London's finest seems to be something of a cause célèbre for everyone else too. Arsène Wenger is variously derided as stubborn, deluded, myopic, deranged, overly prone to whingeing, not to mention tactically inept and – let's not forget – just bloody well foreign.
An undue amount of attention seems to be given to Arsenal's sixth season without silverware (although there never seems to be any mention of Liverpool's trophy cabinet gathering dust for the same period) without anyone pausing to consider perhaps what a fantastic job Wenger has been doing these last few financially-constrained seasons.
During a brief chink of light during an otherwise unrelenting hatchet job on the Arsenal manager, The Independent's Mark Fleming points out that:
Since The Invincibles season of 2004, Wenger is actually in profit concerning transfer dealings with £10.8m in the bank, thanks mostly to selling Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Touré to Manchester City, while at the same time recruiting players such as Andrei Arshavin (£15m), Samir Nasri (£15.8m), Theo Walcott (£9m) and Thomas Vermaelen (£10m). Such frugality is remarkable, given the net spending of his rivals – Manchester City who have spent £435m since 2004; Chelsea £397m; Tottenham Hotspur £239m; Liverpool £142m; and Manchester United £108m, despite selling Cristiano Ronaldo for £80m.
Wenger's shrewd management of Arsenal has seen the club finish in the top four of the Premier League for every one of his fourteen seasons in charge while becoming by far the most financially stable club of those that regularly contest the honours. This has been achieved without the backing of rich benefactors, or indeed (as in the case of Manchester United) the scandalous laying of debt onto the future of the club. Oh, and Arsenal still manage to play by far the most entertaining (if frequently infuriating) brand of football in the English League.
Yes, they were found wanting in the closing stages of the season and yes, almost any Arsenal fan would be able to point to areas of the team which could do with strengthening, but it really is time that someone recognised the quite remarkable job Arsène Wenger has done with such limited means. Instead it seems that otherwise respectable organs like The Guardian draw lots among their sports writers to find out who gets the privilege of putting together the daily character assassination of the Arsenal manager (witness these eight pieces in the last week alone). Meanwhile the free-spending scattergun-in-the-transfer-market Harry Redknapp (one FA Cup win in his managerial career) is portrayed as some cheery national treasure, poised to lead the limited players of the England national squad out of the wilderness the moment his country comes calling.
Perhaps I've got it all wrong. Perhaps Arsène Wenger really is the worst football manager ever. Even so, Arsenal would be mad to swap him for anyone else.
A personal view on smoking
OK, best to start with my cards on the table. I am a smoker, I have been for around a quarter of a century (with a few brief flashes of willpower in between) and I work in the pub trade. You could say that these factors cloud (no pun intended) my judgement on the issue of smoking bans, whether the existing public places restrictions or a suggested ban on smoking in cars, and you'd probably be right. Nevertheless, I know smoking is daft, I know it's unpleasant for non-smokers and I don't believe it's fair for parents to make their children suffer the muck they exhale.
Having said all of that, I can't honestly say I was an enthusiast for the smoking ban when it came in in 2007. As the manager of a rural pub with a predominantly food-led trade we took the decision to become completely non-smoking some months before the ban came into effect, and our customers were (largely) grateful for it. But I always felt that establishments such as ours should be free to choose their own policy. Ultimately I always believed that such things would be, to use the jargon, 'customer-led' and that government interference would not be necessary. By the time of the ban there had certainly been a change in public attitudes towards smoking, and those pubs that didn't examine what they were doing were in danger of being left behind – in the end people would have a choice, and no business wants to be on the wrong end of such a choice.
Of course, the ban in pubs did have another aspect and that was the protection of staff. Whatever one's views on individual freedom there was a strong case to be made that the generally poorly waged should not be forced to breathe others' smoke simply to earn a living, and that should be one of the reasons most pubs would never go back in the unlikely event that the law was ever repealed.
No such logic is present in Jersey's deliberations on whether to ban smoking in cars. Few would argue against such a ban when children are present (although it seems an alarming 16% don't feel compelled to agree) but it's difficult to understand why individuals in private cars should not be free to smoke if they choose. Regardless of what those in favour of a ban say, it is not the same as using a hand-held mobile – unlike a phone you can still hold a steering wheel with a cigarette in your hand. Besides, even if you do make the case that smoking is a distraction, where do you draw the line? Is eating a travel sweet a clear and present danger? Should you really have the radio on or, heaven forbid, switch stations?
Perhaps I'm a little paranoid. Maybe I've adopted the seige mentality propagated by the tobacco lobby. But there will be many on the mainland who watch the Jersey experience with interest with a view to changing the law here. I suspect that few of those people believe, as I do, that individual freedoms should be maintained provided there is no demonstrable harm to anyone else.
We've come a long way from the days when advertisers used to tell a credulous population that "more Doctors smoke Camel than any other cigarette" and that is unquestionably a good thing. A smaller percentage of the population smoke now, and those that do are left in little doubt that their addiction tends not to be viewed sympathetically by the majority. I can handle being a social leper and I'll keep going with my feeble attempts to quit. But I do think the choice should remain my own, provided I don't restrict anyone else's options. It will be interesting to see what Jersey's powers-that-be conclude.
I'll finish off with one of my favourite magic clips, which has very little to do with the arguments around smoking bans but is hugely entertaining all the same. This is an American magician called Tom Mullica who used to perform this 'trick' throughout the eighties and nineties. Understandably his doctors were never too enamoured with his performance, but the good news is he subsequently gave up smoking. He now reports that he can obtain health insurance for the first time in his professional life.
There is no trickery – he actually does what you see before you. (The whole clip is worth watching, but if you just fancy the disturbing part head to 2:56.)
Wayne Rooney – someone have a word…
To the great surprise of just about no one, the FA and referee Mark Clattenberg have ducked out of making Manchester United's Wayne Rooney face charges for his blatant elbowing of Wigan's James McCarthy at the weekend. Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the FA's somewhat strange procedure in cases such as these, it does seem rather odd that such a clearly obvious attempt at assault is able to go unpunished.
It's probably fair to say that I'm not Rooney's greatest fan. Talented though he is, you'd have to go a long way to find a more over-hyped player in the already never-knowingly-undersold English Premier League. Witness, for example, the wall-to-wall coverage of his overhead kick in the Manchester derby recently – undeniably a great goal, but overseas players frequently produce such feats with only a fraction of the fanfare – or the continuing media obsession with a colourful private life which is, nevertheless, private (or at least, should be).
Of course, it can easily be said that these factors are outside Rooney's control. He doesn't choose the headline writers' puns, either front page or back. What is his responsibility, however, is his behaviour on the football pitch.
Rooney continually cuts a tormented figure, as if his entire life story is one of endless persecution by 'The Man'. Every decision by a referee is met with a volley of Anglo-Saxon, a scowl or a plain, unadulterated tantrum. He chips away at opponents, bellows at linesmen, lashes out at corner flags and has now managed to add common assault to his less than glorious repertoire.
The argument often given in defence of his antics, not least by his supremely over-indulgent manager or the likes of previously sane journos like Paul Wilson, is that if you take away Rooney's dark side you lose the part of his game that makes him 'special'. What complete neanderthal rubbish. Why should we expect talented footballers to automatically behave like petty thugs or indeed excuse the few that do? It was never the case with Thierry Henry, Kenny Dalglish, Trevor Brooking or countless others. Lionel Messi doesn't rely on assaults to the head to keep his genius ticking over. Yet we're constantly told that Rooney's precious talent makes him a special case.
Without necessarily going down the route of conspiracy theory to explain why Manchester United often seem to receive different treatment from the authorities, I do sometimes despair that anyone will ever summon the courage to tell Rooney to pipe down. Referees, managers, sports writers – all seem to develop a blind spot when it comes to the behaviour of England's 'Great Hope', but seriously people, can someone have a word?
The fire of protest spreads
A spark of pro-democracy protest – almost unnoticed in parts of 'The West' – appeared in Tunisia last month and has now turned into a fire of potentially historic proportions reaching across North Africa into the Middle East. The great Arab democratic revolt overthrew the governments of Tunisia and Egypt and now threatens the established regimes of Bahrain, Yemen and Libya while doubtless causing anxious glances from other states in the region, perhaps most notably Iran.
It's impossible to say how this will end and how much blood will continue to be spilled by totalitarian regimes such as Gaddafi's in Libya, but this passage of history bears a striking resemblance to the collapse of Soviet Communism in Europe in the last months of the 1980s. In that case a similar domino effect was witnessed as the supressed and impoverished people of each Eastern European state felt able to draw strength and confidence from neighbouring states who had risen up against the old order. Europe changed forever in the space of a few short months. It was a fascinating period of twentieth century history, and it was a privilege to be alive during such a time of immense change.
There is a similar feel to events in the Arab world at the moment, although the factors causing change are quite different from those which were at play in Europe twenty-two years ago. On the face of it, nationalism appears to be less of a factor in the Arab uprisings as Middle Eastern peoples have always had less regard for lines on a map than their European counterparts. In addition the Cold War backdrop of a chessboard for the Superpowers doesn't apply in the Arab nations, at least not to the extent that it did in post-War Germany and the nations surrounding it.
The common factors, of course, are repression and economic suffering. A class of people have found the strength to articulate their strong view that their economic hardship should no longer be taken for granted and that they should have the democratic freedom to do what they can to put that right. I applaud the courage of those who live in political systems I can barely imagine who have taken to the streets to give voice to, in some cases, hundreds of years of simmering resentment. I hope that the Arab states can find their solutions, free if at all possible from Western interference, and that people will not have to keep dying in the pursuit of democracy. History is being written across North Africa and the Middle East, and it's probably about time too.
The madness of 'Deadline Day'
Mercifully, this was my first 'Transfer Deadline Day' for some years which remained untouched by the hype and breathless speculation of Sky Sports News (I cancelled my subscription some months ago). As it turned out there was probably no need for that particular network's passion for sensationalism, as another day of extraordinary gambling in the transfer market unfolded with Fernando Torres heading for Chelsea for £50m and – in perhaps the most eyebrow-raising move of recent years – an apparently reluctant Andy Carroll making the switch to Liverpool from Newcastle for £35m.
Every year one of the over-monied English Premier League clubs takes an extraordinary leap for a seemingly ordinary player, and every year there is the inevitable chorus of "this can't go on". Yet we know there will be more of the same in the summer and another rash of panic-buying a year from now. There seems no end in sight for a level of spending we all routinely refer to as unsustainable.
I'm no enthusiast for Tottenham Hotspur but – even for a club managed by Harry Redknapp – they too had a remarkable Deadline Day. Bids for Carroll, Blackpool's Charlie Adams and a seemingly endless pool of £38.5m-rated Spanish centre-forwards were capped by a £500,000 approach for Everton's Phil Neville, a move their manager David Moyes described as 'insulting'.
Redknapp, of course, is great copy for the sports journalists during the transfer window. Not for him the quiet reticence of only speaking when you actually have something to say – Harry loves nothing better than discussing other clubs' players, giving the nod to the journos about the 'deals' he's working on. Some regard him as something of a national treasure, the coming saviour of the English national team. Others see him as a throwback to another era, when players moved on a nod and a wink and everyone in the game 'looked after each other' as it were.
Personally I see him simply as an irritant, someone who should learn the concept of good manners and not 'tapping a player up'. I'd quite like him to take the England job, sooner rather than later preferably, because I'm fed up of Spurs looking like they might be successful. It's hard to imagine him as a national coach, however. No transfer market and therefore no opportunity to make public overtures towards Spanish forwards who might be able to "come in and do a job for us". It would be destined to end in tears, but would no doubt be hugely entertaining along the way.
I never quite understood the rationale behind the transfer window. It always seems to be unfairly restrictive on the clubs with the smallest squads and the tightest resources. Newcastle, for example, now find themselves a key striker down with no chance to bring in a replacement until the summer. The 'big' clubs, by contrast, can afford to splash out heavily with a few hours of the window remaining, thereby reinforcing their dominance on a league already controlled by sugar daddy owners with deep pockets (or, in the case of the Glazers at Manchester United, large overdraft facilities). Perhaps the worried cries of unsustainability over the years have been wide of the mark, but Deadline Day does rather preserve the status quo – the one reason above all others that nothing's likely to change soon.

NR Top 10 MaY 2007 according to Yahoo
James Loving - National Radio Text Service
Though slandered by Cambodia's English language press Dr. Beat Richner REAL STORY bolted to # 1 as National Radio's TOP STORY - Music is his business as musician Thailand's LAM MORRISON climber to # 2 - Former Cambodian national team star HOK SUCHETRA took two top 10 spots # 4 & # 10 - RACISM ranked # 9 In the rankings - Former NBA star DENNIS RODMAN rides again on the bubble of the top 10 by taking the 11th position
Saturday May 19, 2007
NR TOP 10 according to YAHOO
Of the 638 National Radio stories listed on Yahoo Dr. Beat Richner rocketed to the top spot for the first time since the story was published in 2002. Though the story is five years old there seems to be a recent interest in the doctor as he reached the number three position in our NR all-time ranking published this past March.
"He gave his life for this," said a tourist from America when he visited Siem Reap to attend a fund raising concert performed by Richner.
What he was referring to was the two hospitals (now three) that Richner built to provide FREE health care for Cambodia children.
Richner who hails from Switzerland has been slandered by the Cambodian English language press over the years for something he didn't do. They wrote stories that noted that Richner denied treatment to adults during the civil conflict n 1997.
When the 10th anniversary came around this year they did it again without doing their research over that time and ASK HIM DIRECTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
In response Richer had to take out a two page ad to defend himself and note that he didn't deny anyone treatment as he wasn't on the premises at the time. Though the doctor from Switzerland has been denied the respect that he deserves the WORLD VOTED (sorry Ryan Seacrest) and the REAL RICHNER STORY rocketed to the number one position in our National Radio rankings.
Another philanthropic story made the list about Japanese philanthropist Toshu Fukami's contributions to Cambodia. The man also believes in health care having donated huge sums of money to the Sihanouk hospital in Phnom Penh. He also has contributed to a library named after him at the University of Cambodia in Phnom Penh.
It is Fukami's belief that education in the key to overcome poverty. By his own example he is doing something about that.
Thailand musician LAM MORRISON also has been receiving a lot of interest in recent months as his story that we began research in the early 1990's reached the number two position this month and jumped into the number six on out all-time charts in out last edition.
The topic of RACISM has been of interest by our readers. This is an old story that keeps coming around since there continues to be people that continue to practice it. The story the readers continue to find interest in was written 10 years ago.
It's about a radio sports talk host having someone fake a call to the talk show host and their topic was slandering the then owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team Rupert Murdoch as well as deriding Hideo Nomo the first Japanese player in the major leagues and maligning the Japanese press.
Yes racism isn't about black and white it's about ignorance and some individual's insecurity.
You can see it in all forms of society and media. A case in point is an English language magazine in Cambodia that is owned by a British person published a column in his January issue urging foreigner owned bars to deny entrance to black people while noting how lucky they were to be living in a non-equality country.. At that time he had five bars that were in line with his thinking.
The most glaring problem is that the publication is largely about promoting prostitution, drugs and alcohol. Yes� you can't get that on you PDA but you can get it in this publication as well as racism.
That is the dilemma that Cambodia is facing with racist foreigners infiltrating the country these past few years with their primary business being buying a bar and hiring prostitutes. With that kind of influence it certainly puts Cambodia's future for a healthy development and recovery in danger. Fortunately there is a Dr Beat Richner and a Toshu Fukami around to help influence and do things for Cambodia in a positive way.
The brighter side of the NR listings are stories regarding Hok Suchetra taking tow positions in the ranking at # 4 and # 10. Suchetra arguably is the greatest player in Cambodian football history. He started late in his life at 20-years-old but had the natural talent to register 42 goals in only 64 International competitions against players that started playing the game when they were in their early teens.
As his then coach Joachim Fickert said of Suchetra, ""He's a great talent. "Unfortunately he started a little bit late in football. If Jet (Sochetra) had played for 10 years he would be one of the world stars in football."
Due to the problem of not being paid enough money from playing for the national side Suchetra took a job in the real world to help feed his family at the young age of 25.

Nine of those plays were runs, good for 78 yards, and most of the heavy lifting was done by running back Donald Brown — named the starter this week in place of a struggling Trent Richardson. But the biggest run might have come from Luck.
Facing third-and-2 at his own 43-yard line, Luck rolled out to his right. He picked up a couple of blocks from fullback Stanley Havili and wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey then rumbled 24 yards into Tennessee territory for a big first down that kept the drive going and the game clock running.
The play was designed as a bootleg pass, but Luck felt safer keeping the ball himself, and his teammates adjusted as soon as they saw him run. He made a cutback near the sideline about halfway through the scramble that again showed how strong his field vision and instincts are.
"I felt like I'd get some extra yards so I didn't step out of bounds and wanted to stay in bounds and let that clock keep running," Luck said. "So it worked out."
Five plays later, Brown scored the Colts' only touchdown on a 4-yard run and gave the team an eight-point lead with less than two minutes remaining.
The Titans quickly got into Indianapolis territory on the ensuing possession with a 35-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Kendall Wright on first down from their own 21. But the drive ended four plays later at the Colts' 33-yard line when Fitzpatrick was intercepted by Indianapolis linebacker Jerrell Freeman with 24 seconds remaining.
It was the fourth takeaway for the Colts, who also got two interceptions from cornerback Cassius Vaughn and a fumble recovery by Freeman after a strip-sack by outside linebacker Robert Mathis.
"You can't turn the ball over like that and expect to win in any game," Fitzpatrick said. "... It was a tough game for us, and especially me, on offense, and we didn't get the job done, and it hurts."

Real Estate & Property Law
Will Insurer of Uninhabitable Fla. Condo Building Have to Pay to Repair Defects?
Posted Oct 28, 2011 2:07 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
In the midst of a terrible real estate market, the owners of the 117 units at the Dophin Tower condominium in Sarasota, Fla., have a bigger problem to worry about than most.
In addition to owning homes that are probably worth only a fraction of what they paid, their units have been uninhabitable for a year and a half and aren't likely to be occupied again anytime soon, due to a failed concrete slab. Although they won a legal victory in federal court this week, when a judge ruled in their favor in a declaratory judgment action concerning insurance coverage for the design and construction defects that allegedly caused the concrete damage, the condo association for the approximately 35-year-old building is struggling to stay afloat financially as it pursues the case, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
Meanwhile, there's no guarantee that the association will persuade Great American Insurance Co. of New York to pay its repair costs or win enough at trial to reimburse residents, even though a judge has given the case a green light to proceed. Due to a high delinquency rate on assessment payments, the association can't get a loan to pay for repairs while it argues with Great American.
In an effort to get the association's finances under control, the condo board is instituting what some consider draconian collection measures, including an 18 percent interest rate on delinquent balances and threatened foreclosure. A number of residents also complain that the board is unduly harsh and unfeeling in the tone it takes with owners who have been dealt a severe financial blow in the form of repair bills that could top $10 million.
"At times, the board has had an absolute air of superiority," said former 10th-floor resident Sarita Roche. "A lot of people in the building now are destitute—some people are losing everything—and it's uncalled for."
An earlier Herald-Tribune article details what is wrong with the building and a planned fix, which involved jacking the 15-story building up like a car with a flat tire.

Query Details
|Query Subject:
Query: Nominal compounds
|Laurie Bauer
|Submitter Email:
|click here to access email
|Linguistic LingField(s):
It is well-known (and frequently mentioned in books on word-formation)
that nominal compounds are ambiguous (perhaps vague, depending on
definitions of the terms): A _London bus_, for example, may be going
to, coming from or operating within London. But does anyone have an
example, from poetry or advertising, of such ambiguity being exploited
in such a way that more than one meaning is relevant?
The ambiguity *is* sometimes exploited in jokes, where a reanalysis is
forced: -It's the royal garden party on Wednesday. -Oh, have you been
invited? -No, but my garden has. Are there also more serious
instances of the ambiguity being used?

Our department has started teaching a new course called 'Fundamentals
of Grammar'. The idea is to present basic grammatical concepts and
terminology to first-year undergraduates who plan to major in a
foreign language. The problem is finding an adequate textbook. All of
the descriptively-oriented introductions to grammar that we have found
focus exclusively on ENGLISH. But we want to expose the students to
aspects of grammar that are found in other languages that they might
set out to study, that is, such phenomena as pronominal clitics,
varieties of agreement rules, rich case systems, and so on.
Can anybody recommend a textbook?
Thanks; I'll summarize.

Dear all,
to finish university I plan to write my MA thesis about the
modelling of the japanese verb in unification based formalisms like
JPSG or HPSG. I am thus interested in literature and systems related
to the morphology, syntax and semantics of the japanese verb.
Could anybody help me with some indications on articles, papers and
existing systems concerned with this topic?
For the moment I found the following:
Young-mee Yu Cho, Peter Sells
(to appear in 'Journal of East Asian Linguistics'):
'A Lexical Account of Inflectional Suffixes in Korean'
Takao Gunji (1987): 'Japanese Phrase Structure Grammar'
Reidel, Dordrecht.
Toru Hisamitsu, Yoshihiko Nitta (COLING 94):
'An Efficient Treatment of Japanese Verb Inflection for
Morphological Analysis'
Masayo Iida, Christopher D. Manning, Patrick O'Neill, Ivan A. Sag
(Presented at the LSA 1994 Annual Meeting):
'The Lexical Integrity of Japanese Causatives'

'Korean and Japanese Morphology from a Lexical Perspective'

Bayard Rustin Educational Complex
Our review:
Bayard Rustin Educational Campus houses six small schools that share a cafeteria, a library and sports teams. Each school has a different philosophy and targets a different kind of student, but all have somewhat off-beat approaches to education.
The building is a bit run down but it has some nice touches, like stained glass windows in the entrance. It does not have metal detectors. Many students are allowed outside the building for lunch.
Quest to Learn, opened in 2009 with a 6th grade, plans to add a grade each year until it serves children in grades 6 to 12. Nicknamed a school for "digital kids," Quest to Learn incorporates into its academic lessons the same principles that make video games fun.
Manhattan Business Academy, also founded in 2009, exposes students to marketing, advertising and accounting and gives them the chance to create mock businesses in the Virtual Enterprise program. Students get a chance to sail on the Hudson River as part of partnership with a non-profit organization.
At Hudson High School of Learning Technologies, computers—not textbooks are at the core of instruction. Led by Nancy Amling, a former assistant principal at Queens High School of Teaching, the school opened in 2010 with a 9th grade.
Humanities Preparatory Academy and the James Baldwin School are alternative schools, modeled after Urban Academy, designed to offer a refuge and personal attention to students—including some high-achieving ones--who have been unsuccessful at other schools.
Landmark High School, which had been housed in an office building in Midtown, moved into the Bayard Rustin building in 2009. Landmark is a progressive school that doesn't require students to take most Regents exams.
Formerly a zoned, neighborhood high school, the former Bayard Rustin High School was closed because of poor performance. Its last students graduated in 2012. (Clara Hemphill, April 2012)

March 30, 2010 -- A federal study shows that men and women who drink alcohol
are less likely to eat whole grains and fruit and to drink milk, and they are
more likely to eat unhealthy foods high in fat and sugar.
Researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
(NIAAA), the National Cancer Institute, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture
interviewed 8,155 men and 7,715 women in the U.S. about their drinking and
dietary habits. Their findings are reported in the April 2010 issue of
Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
"Heavy drinking and dietary factors have independently been associated with
cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, and other chronic health problems,"
NIAAA Acting Director Kenneth R. Warren, PhD, says in a news release. "This
finding raises questions about whether the combination of alcohol misuse and
poor diet might interact to further increase health
Overall, the study results show that among current drinkers for both sexes,
as alcohol use increased, healthy eating scores decreased. Eating fruit decreased
and calorie intake increased in both men and women who drink alcohol. Eating
whole grains and drinking milk decreased significantly among male alcohol
Researchers note that both diet and drinking alcohol are lifestyle behaviors
that can be modified in order to reduce the risk of disease and disease-related
The findings are based on data collected for the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey, a large, ongoing survey of the U.S. population
that is being conducted by the CDC. This data were collected between 1999 and
2006. Most of the study participants were non-Hispanic whites, had at least a
high school education, did not smoke, and had a mean
body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher, indicating that they were either
overweight or obese.
The researchers ranked participants' alcohol drinking status as either
never, former, or current drinkers. In this study, 76% of men and 65% of women
were current drinkers. Researchers also factored in the participants' Healthy
Eating Index scores, which measured how closely people followed federal dietary
guidelines. The Healthy Eating Index scores were based on the participants'
memory of what they had eaten in the past 24 hours.
The researchers note that a 24-hour recall of individual diets does not reflect a
person's overall eating habits, but it does provide a snapshot of a person's
dietary preferences. Moderate alcohol drinking is defined by the 2005 U.S.
Dietary Guidelines as no more than one drink a day for women and no more than
two drinks a day for men.
Study researcher Rosalind A. Breslow, PhD, an epidemiologist in NIAAA's
Division of Epidemiology and Prevention Research, says in a news release, "Our
findings underscore the importance of moderation for individuals who choose to
consume alcoholic beverages, and a greater awareness of healthy food choices
among such individuals."

Samsung's child-friendly tabletTablet made for children restricts access to suitable apps, games, and offers parental locks to stop the nippers seeing anything they shouldn't.
Are you worried about what your child is getting up to online? A new tablet designed especially for children could be the answer.
Named the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids, it features its own app store which includes only games, educational and entertaining apps, and e-books deemed suitable for younger users.
The tablet lets parents keep tabs on what their kids see online too. You can set it so your child can only access certain apps, and the time management feature lets you put a limit on how long they use the tablet for. If they reach that limit, the tablet locks itself.
The Android operating system has also been completely redesigned to appeal to kids, with more colourful, friendly icons.
It's a seven-inch device, so it's smaller than a full-size iPad. It also features two cameras – one on the back, and one on the front for making video calls.
Its orange bumper should mean it'll withstand a few drops and knocks, too.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids will go on sale online on Friday November 1, and you'll be able to buy it in-store from Toys 'R' Us, Argos, Shop Direct, Dixons, JLP, Asda, and from the Samsung Experience store from November 8. There's no official price yet.

'Machynlleth needs time to grieve'
Superintendent Ian John said he expected the media to step back and give the community of 2,000 people time to grieve.
Mr John renewed his appeal for "any scrap of information" about the whereabouts of the missing girl.
This community needs some space to come to terms with what's happened and to deal with this in their own way," he added.
Inevitably I think the media will withdraw from this and let people go back to their day-to-day lives.
Mayor of Machynlleth Gareth Jones said it had been an "extremely difficult" week and it was important to give support to those grieving.
It's extremely important that there's support in place for everybody, obviously April and her family and the general community at large as well.
There's still hope for April.

People are singing a song they learned years ago but all present remember the words. "Dearest school so true," the voices say. It's a group of more than 100 people gathered to say goodbye to a piece of Savannah history and a piece of their own personal history. Alfred Ely Beach High School which opened in 1950 is facing the wrecking ball. A new school has been built on the grounds to the tune of $42 million.
Today those who attended Beach over the years wanted to be here. That included Sharon and Michael Stewart who graduated in 1974 and 1973. They became sweethearts at Beach. "It's heartbreaking," says Mrs. Stewart. " I know before it's done I will be shedding a few tears."
"There are a lot of memories here," echoes her husband.
Alumni from young to old gathered to watch their collective history crumble. "A lot of great people have walked through these doors," said Beach High Principal Derrick Muhammad. He says the new state of the art facility is great, but today's students must strive to achieve as so many before them.
Dr. Lester Johnson who had his first teaching job at Beach 63 years ago couldn't agree more. "education is the solution to every problem," he told me. "And I'm just so proud to see those who came through under my mentorship, city councilmen, three mayors of Savannah, members of the County Commission."
One of his former students is Clifton Jones, who served as a Savannah City Alderman for years. MAN CLIFTON JONES. "I'm glad to see a new school coming. We were happy and elated when we moved into this one so long ago," Jones told me.
Muhammad says Beach has endured some difficult days, including a state ordered reorganization several years ago. Much of the staff and principal at that time were replaced. And Muhammad came in expecting to face challenges but determined to improve test scores. "There are still a lot of challenges and even though we're moving into a new building, the challenges are still there.," he told us. "The students are excited and ready to come back into this new building, we'll still be pushing forward academically, we'll still be making our academic gains each year.
And former students like the Stewarts say it's a bittersweet day. Yet they promise to keep supporting the school and the students who need help now.

What's in a name? If you're a plant, everything. Knowing the name of a plant not only allows one to list it, but also to find information on its ecology. It's critical to have accurate identifications when describing a plant community for ecological research or restoration activities, or when preserving rare and endangered species.
How is one plant species related to others? Names provide the clues and give the answers. Plant systematics is the classification and study of plant diversity and evolution, and all the research going in the Ecology, Population Biology, and Harris Family Foundation Plant Genetics laboratories here at the Chicago Botanic Garden depends upon it.
