Violence against Aboriginal women is a pressing issue and is of great concern to the Aboriginal people in New Brunswick.
The contributing factors and solutions to addressing this issue for Aboriginal women in New Brunswick, living both on and off First Nations communities, require a coordinated and comprehensive approach with leadership and involvement of many different stakeholders.
A strategic framework to assist with addressing this central concern was developed in coordination with the Women's Issues Branch and members of the New Brunswick Advisory Committee to End Violence against Aboriginal Women.
This Advisory Committee to the Minister on Aboriginal women was formalized in 2006 and has been working with the Women's Issues Branch to identify issues and develop solutions to improve the situation of Aboriginal women around the province.

©2005 Tim Dorsey; (P)2005 Recorded Books, LLC.
"Comedy Masterpiece"
The most hilarious book I have ever read.
The comedy is silent ,it catches you by surprise
so that you have to go back to read it again.
Serge is hilarious and his sidekick.
If you don't have a sense of humor you may miss a lot.
George wilson is the very best narrator out there.
Bar None especially in torpedo Juice.
I will read this again and again which is not
my usual.
"What a funny book - laugh out loud hysterical"
This is the first audiobook I Purchased written by Tim Dorsey. Now I am hooked!!! Since listening to Torpedo Juice I have read or listened to all Tim Dorsey's books, but being my first - this audiobook will alway before extra special to me ... SOOOO funny.
"Enjoy it"
This is a chance to take a mental vacation into a world of complicated characters. I enjoyed the book.
"Walk the dog"
We all have a little (or a lot) of Serge in us or at least we know someone who could trigger us up to that level. This is a very funny book - read it while walking the dog!
"Great story, choppy download"
The chapter headings run into the word before them and make it feel like parts are missing, but the story is so bizarre that without the book to compare to it's impossible to tell.
I always enjoy Serge's antics. He's insane in a fun way and combines genius with murder.
George Wilson keeps the characters alive. He does remarkably well with such a complex narrative.
If the chapters didn't run into one another and if I didn't have the sinking suspicion I was missing the last paragraph or so of some of the chapters, I would have no complaints.
"Coleman's back?"
This may be the best "Serge" book of them all
While Serge is my favorite, Coleman ranks right up there, too
This time, he was part of it, too funny
Serge, his mind is amazing!
A must read, or, as in this case, listen!!
"Insanity in the Keys"
The story was set in and around places that I have been to on vacations.
Tim Dorsey's books do not compare with any other authors that I have listened to. If I had to pick, I would say Christopher Moore in Lamb, The Stupidest Angel, or the Lust Lizard of Meloncholy Cove. The comparisons are mainly because of the off beat sense of humor.
Coleman in the No Name Pub taking dollar bills from the wall.
No Name Insanity.
Pretty good story in retrospect because you don't find out who the bad guy was until the end.
"Eh, not so much"
This book was a tough listen. I suspect it reads better then it is audible. The broken writing style doesn't translate particularly well into audible, even though he may be writing in a way to emulate the spoken word and thought progression.
Plus the recording itself was not very good; lots of breathing and other noises in the quiet spaces. Very distracting.
I couldn't even finish this book so I can't say much about the storyline. The narration was irritating and I found the first few chapters so muddled that I couldn't be bothered continuing. I can't recommend it.
"Mind wanders"
I enjoy Dorsey's and Hiaasen's FL themed books with all of the craziness that goes with the territory. For the first time ever, I had trouble concentrating on this book and found my mind wandering. Take this as a clue. Tim's storytelling seemed to be all over the place and the overall flow just isn't there like in his other books. One annoying factor is how he resurrected Coleman doing it through narration which offers an odd taste from the appetizer tray of story events.
I usually don't comment of the technical aspects of an audio book, but the editing between chapters is terrible. Hardly a millisecond goes by when George finishes the last sentence of a chapter and he's announcing the next one – very odd and abrupt especially for a listening audience.
If you have listened to any of Tim Dorsey's books, you might as well listen to this one if for nothing else than to have another notch on your Dorsey belt.

Amathus Bay
Quaint and quiet
Amathus Bay sits quietly on the south coast of Cyprus. Ruins near the village are all that remains of its status as an ancient royal city, said to have been home to the children of the god Heracles. These days, its whitewashed cottages and small portfolio of restaurants attract holidaymakers who want to get away from it all – with the option of a 10-minute drive to lively Limassol.
Laid-back beach
The main beach is called, appropriately, Sands. The long, dune-backed stretch is seldom busy and the shallow waters are great for paddling or swimming. There's also a beach bar with a grassy sun terrace for kicking back with a drink. You can take the short trip to Limassol Beach if you fancy stepping it up with some watersports.
Trekking trails
Overlooking the Bay are the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus's largest mountain range. Well-worn trekking trails reward walkers with wildlife, waterfalls and picturesque picnic spots – not to mention old villages, monasteries and inspiring views. You'll need the right footwear for the trails, but this is also a great area for casual strolls.
Daytrips to Paphos
Paphos, a 45-minute drive away, is home to a Medieval castle and the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love. She and Adonis are said to have met in another of the town's attractions, the Adonis baths and waterfall – they say the waters have anti-ageing powers. The well-preserved 2,000-year-old mosaics at the harbour are a stunning counterpoint to the bustling modern promenade packed with shops and restaurants.

Silver Peak has long enjoyed popularity amongst hikers, spanning back to the first recorded ascent by the US Geological Survey in 1899. Since that time thousands of snowshoers, mountaineers and backpackers have enjoyed the relative ease of access to one of the tallest peaks in the Snoqualmie region as well as the expansive views from the top. A visit to Silver Peak was long overdue, so we geared up and headed out the Pass.
The trail begins by nonchalantly following Cold Creek up to Twin Lake, cutting a narrow swath through a young forest still thick with undergrowth. Within a mile the shores of Twin Lake appear, ideally reflecting within its waters the eventual goal; the rocky cornice of Silver Peak. Veer to the left, following a trail the rapidly deteriorates into a rock-ridden game trail in need of some maintenance. Indeed, we ran across a Washington Trail Association work crew in the midst of being issued axes and adzes, readying for another pitched battle against trail degradation.
From Twin Lake, the route switches gears and begins to aggressively gain elevation, quickly switchbacking up to the Tinkham Peak ridgeline where the trail intersects with the Mirror Lake Trail. Continue to the right beginning a long traverse around the bowl beneath Tinkham and eventually Silver Peak. Access to the peak itself is via an intermittently marked but well-worn spur trail. At this point you can choose to tackle the mountain, or continue on the loop back to Twin Lake. Note that a short portion of the return route is along FR 9070, so do not be confused when the trail runs aground on the road, simply head to the right for a few tenths of a mile before connecting back up with the Cold Creek Trail.
For the more adventurous, the last leg of your journey to the summit is rough. Loose rock, steep slopes and windy conditions make it easy to misstep or lose your balance. Be prepared to scramble a bit to reach the top, but rest assured that your efforts will be well rewarded. From the breezy precipice you have a commanding 360-degree view of the Snoqualmie Valley. Beyond Tinkham to the southwest the massive profile of Mt. Rainier demands attention. Below, the blue-green of Annette Lake resides in the forested bowl between Silver Peak and Humpback Mountain. To the east, nearby Mount Catherine obscures parts of Keechelus Lake. While ski slopes and clearcuts dominate the foreground to the north, look beyond the forests to the array of moutaintops before you: Denny, Snoqualmie, Kendall and Red. Look down into the Snoqualmie Valley past Granite Mountain, Mt. Defiance and McClellan Butte to see the faint and distant indications of North Bend. Apply liberally and enjoy.

An iconic Robin Boyd creation, the McClune courtyard home at Frankston South has been listed for sale.
The sympathetically restored home is being marketed as an exceptional example of Boyd's ability to blend clean structural lines, huge expanses of glass windows and zoned living to integrate perfectly with nature.
It's set on a gently sloping 4,028-square-metre Frankston South block in a natural bush setting.
The marketing agent Janice Dunn at Eview Real Estate Partners Frankston is describing it as a number of connecting rooms sheltered beneath a suspended roof with a central open square landscaped courtyard.
More than $1 million is being tipped for the Marcus Road family home.
Built in the late 1960s on land then abutting Sweetwater Creek for teacher Ian McClune, the property is one of 11 Robin Boyd-designed homes built on the Mornington Peninsula.
It was briefly owned by Melbourne lawyer –and Boyd fan – Peter Mitrakas, who sold it to the Stowe family in 2009.

Former Player Ray Small Says He Sold Rings
Former WR Ray Small told OSU's student newspaper that he sold rings to get money for costs of living. He also said that he got special car deals and that the rest of the team was also selling memorabilia. Needless to say, OSU was already in deep trouble, and this just makes it worse. It is possible that the sanctions they get from the NCAA will make USC's look like nothing.

How is it possible to come out with the peculiar idea of combining pad-thai sauce to avocado, vermicelli and carrots? It may sounds like a strange match, at first. Well, it becomes possible, if you accidentally buy vermicelli instead of noodles, find a lonely avocado in a bowl, and have a pad-thai sauce left over and crave to find a way to use it. This recipe, in some way, is a sort of "art accident" – It wasn't planned, but turns-out to be super delicious! Don't be shy, go on and try!
Notes: Vegan, Vegetarian, Lactose-Free, Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve.
You will need…
- 450 g rice vermicelli
- 4 cups shredded kale
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 scallions trimmed, white and green parts separated
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cashew nuts
- bio hazelnut oil
For the sauce:
- 1/3 cup xylitol
- juice from 2 limes
- 3 tablespoons tamari
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon white miso
- 2 teaspoon tamarind concentrate
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander, grounded
- 1 red thaï chile, finely minced
For the toppings:
- cilantro
- 1 ripe avocado, diced into 1/2-inch cubes and tossed with 2 teaspoons of lime juice
- toasted almonds, ground
- lime wedges
*Each plate has to be done one after the other, on serving at a time, to make sure that everything got the perfect texture. Each portion takes couple of minutes to cook, and this recipe make about four servings. Adjust the quantity if you need more or less servings.
To prepare the vermicelli: Just fill a large pot with hot/warm water and put the vermicelli in there for about 10 minutes (making sure that the water is covering completely.)
Let's get it started: In a wok or large pan, heat oil to medium-high heat. Throw in 1/4 of the shallots, 1/4 white parts of the green onions and 1 garlic clove. Let cook for about two minutes, then add 1/4 of the cashew nuts, greens onion, kale, and carrots, and a quarter of the noodles, stirring for another minute or two. Pour in a quarter of the Pad Thai sauce, stir couple of minutes. Finally top with crushed almonds and cilantro, squeeze in the lime wedge, turn off heat, top with the avocado cubes and serve immediately!

Ballistic Shell Gel Case review
Posted on August 4, 2013 by Jingles | No Comments
They sure don't make them like they used to. Today's phones are thinner than a bulimic rock star with a cocaine habit which makes them more fragile than said rock stars ego. Unlike a rock stars ego no amount of reassurance that they are the most awesome thing in the world will fix a phone should it break, it's certainly not as cheap as reassurance either.
Some phones are more fragile than others, ergo they need more protection, like the Nexus 4 which is sandwiched in-between two bits of glass and is the sort of phone that you would defiantly want a case for. A phone case is cheaper than having your phone repaired or replaced.
Any case will offer your phone more protection than leaving it naked, but not all cases offer the same level of protection. If you want the ultimate protection for your Nexus 4 then you want a Ballistic Shell Gel Case.
Short of wrapping your phone in bubble wrap the Ballistic Shell Gel Case will give you the best protection. While bubble wrap will probably keep your phone safer and more water proof it wouldn't exactly be really usable which is where the Ballistic Shell Gel Case trumps good old bubble wrap. The Ballistic Shell Gel Case offers the best balance of protection and usability.
Boasting advanced three layer protection and reinforced corner protection the Ballistic Shell Gel Case is well suited to protecting your pride and joy from drops, knocks, and bumps. Although it does add a bit of bulk to the phone it is well worth it for the extra protection that it offers.
The case comes in two parts, an inner silicone case which absorbs shock and a hard impact resistant outer shell that fits snugly over the silicone case. Dressing the nexus 4 in the Ballistic Shell Gel Case is easy, insert the phone into the silicone case then snap on the hard impact resistant outer shell and you are good to go. The case comes with instructions but you probably won't need tem.
The rear of the case has cut-outs for the speaker, the camera, flash, and features two little bumps which when laid on a flat surface raise the phone enough so that audio from the speaker isn't muffled and can still be heard.
On each side of the case the rubber buttons are well defined and easy to push and make it easy to find the volume and on/off buttons by feel alone, unlike some other cases I have tried which I have had to look at to see where the buttons are. The top and the bottom of the phone have cut-outs for the USB port, the microphones, and headphone jack. Headphones and the USB charger plug in easily and isn't hindered by the case at all. Some other cases I have used have almost covered the headphone jack and USB port making it harder to plug them in. The case doesn't have a cut out for the SIM card tray but then you aren't likely to be changing the SIM regularly anyway so this isn't really an issue. Besides removing the case to change the SIM is easy enough.
Each corner of the case is protected by big nobly bits of thick silicone which will protect the phone should it land on a corner if it gets dropped. The front corners of the case are raised enough so that the face of the phone is raised it it is placed on a flat surface.
The case is well constructed and gives me confidence that if I were to make like captian clutz and drop my phone that it is well protected and would be fairly safe. In fact I was so confident that I even tossed, threw and dropped my Nexus 4 and it didn't sustain any damage at all thanks to the Ballistic Shell Gel Case.
However the case won't protect the face of the phone if it lands face down on an uneven surface. It would be a good idea to invest in a screen protector to protect the front glass face of the phone.
The Ballistic Shell Gel Case even looks god and doesn't cheapen the look of the Nexus 4 in any way shape or for unlike some other hideous things that pass for a case. In fact it makes the Nexus 4 look even more bad arse and hardcore than any other case. The build quality of the case is top notch and the case fits the phone like a glove.
It's not the cheapest case you can buy but then you get what you pay for and with the The Ballistic Shell you are paying for the best protection you can get which is still a lot cheaper than a phone repair bill or replacing the phone.
If you are looking for the best protection money can buy then look no further, this case will give you phone the best chance of surviving a drop or any other knocks and bumps that it may receive. Good looks and excellent build quality make this case a winner.
Thanks to Chris from MobileZap for supplying the Ballistic Shell Gel Case. MobileZap offer an awesome range of cases for the Nexus 4 as well as other great accessories for the Nexus 4, other phones, and tablets.

Superb shoe with many capabilities. Hard wearing X-hiking shoe with long life if kept out of water
Leather and mesh upper. Padded tongue. Quick-drying…
Materials: Leather upper w/ventilationg mesh
Use: Light day hiker
Break-in Period: zero
Weight: 2 lbs 12 oz
Price Paid: $99 Cdn.
Leather and mesh upper.
Padded tongue.
Quick-drying lining.
Molded foam footbed.
Super Texon® insole for stability.
Full foot shock absorbing PU midsole.
Contagrip® CX outsole for traction.
Wt. 2lbs. 12oz.
I bought this shoe hoping it would make for good approach footwear with moderate rock climbing ability. After looking at the Exit Low, I decided the Exentric had better overall support (probably due to the leather upper). The Exit felt too much like a runner.
I've had a heck of a time finding a decent lightweight approach shoe due to my narrow heel. But the Exentrics fit very well. Unfortunately, the roomy toe-box makes for sloppy climbing (particulary edging). Also, the outsole lends itself more to dirt and mud than rock. This aside, I managed to do a grade II 5.4 rock climb in them.
For those with narrow heels who expect to spend most of their time on dirt with a light to moderate (20-25 lbs) load, this may be a good shoe. Note that it is not waterproof (and cannot be made so).
For those expecting any kind of rock performance, look elsewhere.

Two little girls never met in their respective Hillsborough County Schools, but they share a tragic bond. Both were special needs students who lost their lives much too soon.
One died on the school bus, and the other drowned after leaving a gym class. Some parents are demanding the school district make major changes to keep other special needs students safe.
They waved their signs at all four corners around the building while the board met inside Thursday afternoon -- people outraged at what happened to special needs students recently in Hillsborough County.
They're calling for the resignation of the Superintendent and Board Chairwoman Candy Olson.
"They are urged to use good judgment and common sense and have the autonomy to call 911 if necessary," said Hillsborough Schools Board Member April Griffin. "I find this to be acceptable"
It was a change in procedure. Now, drivers and aides should use common sense on school buses.
"It should be common sense, and it's sad that you're spending so much time now, 11 months after something happened, to do that," said a concerned citizen Jose Colindres, who was among protestors outside the Board Meeting Thursday afternoon.
"She can't breathe, she's turning blue," said an aide on the stunning video that triggered a lawsuit. It shows a bus driver and an aide calling the bus dispatch center and her mother, when 7-year-old student Isabella Herrera began choking to death.
They knew she was in distress but neither called 911. No one was fired after her death. It turns out, they were following the rules.
"That is such a painful video to watch," said Colindres. "Because anyone that has a child or family member, special needs or not, that's just a loved one in distress."
Bella's death came to light last week, after her family sued the district. Plus, another recent incident where 11-year-old Jenny Caballero slipped away from a gym class and drowned.
Now, there is a call to protect all children in Hillsborough schools.
"It says Bella forgives you Candy," said former special needs teacher Michael Weston, who called Board Chairwoman Candy Olson callous. He held a sign with Bella's picture on it.
"When asked about, in particular, the child dying on the school bus, Candy Olson replied, that a child died the next day in a hospital, to say that a child died on the school bus is nothing but malarkey, I find these statements offensive beyond belief," said Weston.
The Superintendent defended her bus drivers and aides.
"I would say to you very clearly, our drivers and the aides on those buses try very, very hard to make sure they cover all of the existing situations, and do everything they can to support those children," said Superintendent Mary Ellen Elia.
"Our hearts break for these families, and we can do better as a society, we can do better in this county in protecting our children," said Reverend Clark Edwards of the Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church.
"What we gonna do, wait til somebody else dies? It's time for them to do something!," said concerned citizen Joe Robinson.
The superintendent has formed a special work group and gave them ten days to review every protocol, which involves special needs students. This includes staffing models, training, supervision, emergency calls, even the height of fences around campus and more, then report back to her with their findings.

ATHENS (WATE) - University of Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban will be in Big Orange Country this summer.
Saban will be a guest speaker at the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce benefit dinner on June 11, 2013.
Organizers say the dinner benefits the community, and the invitation wasn't aimed to insult Vols fans.
"We're looking for someone that can be motivational and people can take away something as far as leadership qualities, something motivational," said Rob Preston, Athens Chamber President and CEO. "And, when he speaks, he speaks very little about football and more about leadership."
Saban agreed to the event back in May 2012.
Tickets are $50, and organizers say the event is nearly sold out. For more information, you can visit the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce's website.

The start of the Memphis in May International World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest is still several days away but putting something as big as the BBQ fest together, it takes several days and hundreds of workers - not to mention a lot of dollars.
The weather could not have been any better for the Monday set up of the barbeque contest, But will it rain later in the week and does it make any difference?
Work crews started coming into Tom Lee Park late last week to start the set up. In the old days they used to have a big parade the Wednesday before the event. That only lasted a couple of years because of the shear numbers of people and equipment that it takes to make all this happen.
Even putting together a broadcast booth is a major effort.
"It's going great. The mud is kind of a problem but Memphis in May has been very accommodating in trying to help us," said Nick Burchett of FOX13 News. "They are smoothing out the mud and hopefully with the bow tie-approved weather the sun will bake the mud right on in. We will be okay."
One thing you will see a lot of down here at the barbeque contest is a wooded decking. You see it everywhere. They had to have it a couple of days ago for all the mud this was a huge mud puddle. Now the mud is gone, the water has dried up and it has now turned into a dust bowl. You will be dealing with that dust unless of course it rains again. Then it's back to mud.
But even with the Mississippi River being up with all the spring rains, it is nowhere near what it was a couple of years ago when the barbeque fest had to be moved to Tiger Lane near the Liberty Bowl because Tom Lee Park was underwater.
"Down here nothing like the atmosphere right next to the river," Burchett said. "You know, when the bright lights come on and FOX13 gets to broadcasting out here, I think it's going to be a good time."
A good time it will be. It all starts Thursday and wraps up Saturday afternoon. In between thousands of people will become part of a small city in America named the World Championship Memphis in May Barbeque, or the simply the "Q."

I have been a long-time skeptic of the purported environmental benefits of forced urban consolidation, which seeks to ameliorate concerns that excessive suburban sprawl is increasing humanity's ecological footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. By restricting urban growth, it is claimed that these 'costs' can be reduced via less car dependence and energy usage, as well as more efficient (intensive) use of resources.
My view is that many of the policies implemented by planners to restrict growth and reduce urban sprawl tend to have the opposite effect, thus eliminating many of their purported benefits (in addition to reducing housing affordability).
Perverse outcomes occur principally because measures aimed at excluding growth from one jurisdiction – whether via urban growth boundaries (UGBs), greenbelts, or slow land release (restrictive zoning) – naturally generates pressure to accommodate it elsewhere, and exurban, underdeveloped jurisdictions well beyond the metropolitan limits tend to be more inviting.
Take, for example, UGBs, which seek to channel new development into built-up areas and exclude it from undeveloped ones. In practice, the imposition of UGBs causes many lower income households to 'leapfrog' the boundary and settle in far flung exurban towns where housing is more affordable. UGBs, therefore, can act to exacerbate urban sprawl and increase car reliance and energy usage, which has detrimental distributional impacts in particular on lower socio-economic groups.
A related unintended consequence of urban consolidation is that 'densification' has often ceased to occur at its historically natural locations nearer the urban core and has instead shifted further away into less efficient locations (i.e. far away from employment and amenities). The reason for this is that the price of land is forced up so much by the growth constraint that households are unable to afford the 'premium' price commanded by more efficient locations, and are forced to locate instead at 'less unaffordable' but also less efficient locations. Essentially, budgets are squeezed so much by high land prices that households are forced to trade-off both space (smaller homes) and location efficiency (i.e. live further out).
This phenomenon is reflected in dense fringe suburban development, whereby postage stamp sections are crammed into cul-de-sacs in patterns that have been mathematically designed to maximise the number of salable properties. They typically also have narrow streets, minimal number of intersections (as it's a waste of valuable space), and minimal public green space. Such conditions also allows little room to plant trees or veggie gardens, and means that homes are so close together that many do not contain roof eves or verandas and have poor air flow, thereby requiring greater air conditioning in the summer.
My concerns about the pernicious impacts of forced urban consolidation have received inadvertent support today from Helen Brown, Lecturer in Health, Safety and Environment at Curtin University, who argues that the lack of trees in new housing developments is significantly increasing the use of air conditioners and energy use:
Air conditioners across the country are running on full this week as Australia battles a heatwave – but are we missing an obvious, leafy solution?
Trees, which provide shade and act as natural air conditioners, play an important role in helping to create cities that are more resilient to extreme temperatures as the climate warms. In urban areas, however, trees are under considerable pressure.
With last year's record hot weather, and projections for more frequent and severe heatwaves, this week's weather may be a sign of things to come.
So why are all the trees removed in so many of our developments?
The population of major Australian cities is expected to double in the next four to five decades. Planned increases in urban density are likely to result in the removal of a significant number of trees from urban areas.
Fewer trees in cities help create urban heat island effects – that's when buildings and footpaths absorb the sun's heat and then radiate it back out. Increases of up to three degrees are common and, in extreme cases, night-time increases of up to 12 degrees have been recorded.
It's worth noting that housing developments built in the 1980s and 1990s, such as Rowville in outer Melbourne, typically have large blocks, ample green space, and lots of tree cover. In short, they are a desirable places to live. Now compare these 20 to 30 year-old developments with the cluttered rubbish produced today, and tell me which is better for the environment (let alone housing affordability)?

text: I'm trying to understand why Melo's deal has to be a 3 year $65 million dollar deal. Why can't it be a 5 year $100 million dollar deal so that it's on the same table as Amare's more or less? This would make it much easier to acquire deron or cp3 as a free agent, so why is it just this 3 year deal being reported? Can we change this? It makes a huge difference.

The Los Angeles Kings were going back to California regardless. They were hoping they'd do so on a champagne-soaked airplane with a good friend named Lord Stanley, but instead it's gonna be a somber six hour flight. The New Jersey Devils have lived to see another day, and they'll also board an airplane in preparation for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals at Staples Center on Monday night.
Bryce Salvador scored the game-winning goal at the 9:05 mark of the second period and the Devils, led by a vintage performance by Martin Brodeur, somehow held off the Kings in the third period. Los Angeles came the strongest in the final minute, peppering Brodeur with shots from all angles on their final shift of the hockey game. There was plenty of open ice for the Kings to work with a player from each team in the penalty box and Jonathan Quick on the bench for an extra attacker, but in the end Brodeur and the Devils were just too much for L.A. to handle.
Zach Parise opened the scoring at the 12:45 mark of the first period with a power play tally, his first of the series. Justin Williams was perhaps the most dangerous forward on the ice in the hockey game and he tied the score at 1-1 early in the second period, but Brodeur really was the difference in a dramatic New Jersey victory.
We have a series on our hands, and the Kings finally have a road loss on their hands in these playoffs. Now, they'll try to win the Cup at home in Game 6. If they don't, there's going to be a lot of panic around Southern California.

Community Interpreting
A prime example of collaborative working
A practice based module has been developed by School of Lifelong Education and Development, University of Bradford to assist those with a second language to become qualified Community Interpreters to meet the growing demand of local employers, agencies and a wider group of people within Bradford and the District.
Delivered by Bradford College and coordinated, promoted and accredited by the Community Partnerships team at the University of Bradford, this work-based course is now of great demand within Bradford and across the Yorkshire and the Humber. Upon successful completion of this course, students have improved interpreting skills and competencies ultimately preparing them to undertake interpreting contracts with public organisations. The Community Partnerships team at the University has been working closely with the Primary Care Interpreting Service at NHS Bradford & Airedale to develop employer links to recruit new students for the course and help successful students who have passed the course to secure interpreting opportunities.
In addition to the NHS, more employer markets have been identified, e.g. legal practices, voluntary sector organisations, Schools, local authorities and local businesses, as they are likely to either develop their workforce who undertake interpreting practices without any formal recognition or require qualified interpreters. It is anticipated that the design and delivery of this course will be expanded with a view to developing a broader Certificate in Community Interpreting by 2011 which will be rolled out across Yorkshire and Humber.
Eleanor Clyde-Evans, the University's Community Partnerships Co-ordinator, said "The community employer partnership formed with Bradford College and the NHS is a prime example of how collaborative working can lead to exciting opportunities that meet the needs of our local communities and our local public sector partners."

See PFF's "About" page for more information on their grading system.
Best: Andre Smith (+4.3)
Other good grades: Andrew Whitworth (+1.3), Kevin Zeitler (+1.0), BenJarvus Green-Ellis (+1.0), Trevor Robinson (+0.9)
Worst: Clint Boling (-3.5)
Other bad grades: A.J. Green (-2.3), Jermaine Gresham (-2.2; -1.9 run block), Kyle Cook (-1.2; -1.9 penalty)
Best: Geno Atkins (+8.5; +6.1 pass rush)
Other good grades: Domata Peko (+2.9; +3.1 pass rush), Nate Clements (+2.1 in 6 snaps), Reggie Nelson (+2.0), Wallace Gilberry (+1.5), Terence Newman (+1.3), Chris Crocker (+1.0)
Worst: Carlos Dunlap (-3.1)
Other bad grades: Pat Sims (-1.8; -1.2 run defense), Rey Maualuga (-1.6; -1.9 pass coverage), Leon Hall (-1.5), Vontaze Burfict (-0.9), Michael Johnson (-0.9; -1.6 run defense)
Other performances of note:
-The grades support the heartbreak: the Bengals cumulatively out-graded the Cowboys on offense (-2.1 to -10.7), defense (+10.5 to -3.8) and special teams (+4.5 to -2.4)
-Gresham's poor run block grade came mostly against Anthony Spencer, the Cowboys' highest graded defender (+4.3 for the game, +26.3 on the year).
-In their ReFocused write-up, the PFF folks suspect Boling was playing at <100% health, leading to his uncharacteristically poor play.
-In their Reaction Blog, PFF implies that Dunlap could have graded very well if it were not for two missed tackles of Romo.
-More Whitworth: A few weeks back I took a closer look at Andrew Whitworth's grades with the intention of better informing the "Whitworth isn't as good as he used to be" narrative that has persisted throughout the season. The conclusion then was: he continues to dominate as a pass blocker, but not so much any more as a run blocker.
There continues to be a steady stream of comments suggesting that folks* may have misinterpreted "no longer dominates" as equivalent to: "is terrible": "Whitworth is useless in the run game", "if it weren't for Boling, we'd never run left", etc., and that's not entirely fair. The reality: Whitworth is not worthless in run blocking, but merely slightly below average- his PFF run block grade is -1.2 cumulative on the year, which ranks 44 of 72 tackles that have played >25% of total snaps. And, of course, he is still the best pass blocker in the league (+21.8, ranked 1 of 72) .
-All this being said, Andre Smith has become the better overall tackle (+10.5 pass block, +9.8 run block), which has him ranked 4th in the league in overall grade (Whitworth is 10th). n.b.: This is due entirely to an improvement in Andre's performance rather than a decline in Whitworth's.
* folks who saw the analysis in the first place, of course

Minnesota Vikings: Defensive line help on front burner - TwinCities.com
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
02-25-2013, 06:35 AM #2the Vikings will have the chance to restock their front four with one of the deepest defensive line drafts in recent memory
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
02-25-2013, 07:24 AM #3Why must you defend everything this FO does....to the point of making your self look like a yes man.
IDK about that...looks like we could see almost all defense go before our pick in the first, and if our choice is between the 5th or 6th or worse DT vs. the 1st or 2nd WR, I think we're likely better off going WR first and looking for the sliding DT in the 2nd. There are several teams picking after us in the first who are also looking for WR, and several teams in front of us in the 2nd who will be looking at WRs due to the fact that they went with Defense or OT or QB in the first. While teams that already tagged a DT in the first, likely won't be going back to that well again soon.
Besides that, we did OK with our rotation at DT last year and have all of them under contract, but were far from OK with our WRs.Control the line, control the time, and give your D a chance to shine!!
"Balance it on end and thats the third side of the coin!!" -wookiefoot
Childs is also listed on the roster, but after his injuries last off-season it would be a tough climb to become a premier WR.

I think the 1 thing that teams look at that fans don't is the 2014 draft as well. while its hard to predict, it gives you a better idea for the future and what is ideal this year. with guys like clowney and tuitt coming out next year, and on from there the DL is pretty loaded again. However, i don t see the same at receiver. Thats just my 2 cents. So i bet we take a WR with our 1st round pick.
2013 NFL Mock Draft - WalterFootball.com
Although I'm leaning toward WR in the first, I could be real happy with something like this...
BIG John Hankins of Ohio in the first is a beast against the run, likely BPA if he's there, and we may have the rotation to keep him "fresh" later in games (his biggest weakness.) And, landing Justin Hunter in the 2nd could be a hell of a steal. Without that torn ACL in 2011, he'd most likely be a 1st round pick with his size/speed combo of 6'4" and running an official 4.44 40. Perhaps, Adrian can give him some ideas for offseason training to help finish his recovery and give him even more speed/burst back...?
The mock goes on to add Baccari Rambo at Safety in the 3rd, and then an ILB, Kico Alonso and QB depth in Dysert in the 4th. IF Rambo is worthy, it'd sure be fun to cheer for that name in our secondary!!
But, I think I'd rather see a vet QB brought in to compete for no.2, and spend that 4th on another WR or CB. After the numbers they put up, I don't see it falling the way he has the 4th right now, but My choices would be Ryan Swope at WR with our first 4th, and Jon Bostic at ILB with our later 4th. Both guys ran great 40s, and more importantly, great 3-cone times, and come from good programs with tons of production on tape.
IF we nailed a draft like that: fixing Run D by upgrading NT and MLB, improving the all important 2 of our Tampa-2, and adding a pair of fast wideouts with decent hands and good experience...WOW, I think we might have a chance to win this division!?!???
BAAAHWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! SKOL VIKINGS!!! I LOVE THE "OFFSEASON!"Control the line, control the time, and give your D a chance to shine!!

DT: Pat WIlliams clone

OLB: Greenway Clone
MLB: Chris Claiborne
OLB: Greenway
FS: Harrison Smith

Closing Time:
Gophers head coach Richard Pitino looked at the assembled media in his postgame press conference. His team had just won their first Big 10 game and he was in no mood to field questions about his team watching a 19 point lead dwindle to three.
"We were up by 19 and then they cut it to three, and you want to focus on the negatives, but we have to remember for about 80 percent of the game," Pitino said. "We played great defense, rebounded the basketball and were really efficient on offense."
While he isn't necessarily wrong and a win is a win, it is the second straight conference game that his team has struggled in the last five minutes of the game. The Gophers have made just one field goal on 10 attempts down the stretch and have been outscored a combined 29-19 if not for good free throw shooting that number would be even worse.
It isn't just a Big 10 thing either. Against Syracuse and Florida State the Gophers made a combined three field goals during the last five minutes of those games. In the interest of fairness, the Orange and Seminoles made just two combined.
The schedule couldn't have set up any better for this team. Pitino and his team were given a pass in the Michigan game (which was winnable) and the reality is that they could have/should have been 3-0 to start the Big 10 season.
Absolutely give credit to the Gophers for playing their best basketball for 35 minutes on Sunday, but in the Big 10, it isn't how you start, it's how you finish and the team needs to be better closing out games.
Wolves turn back the clock:
I haven't seen or better heard Target Center like I did Saturday night in the better part of a decade. Rivalries are always made when there is passion and genuine hatred from the fan bases. The good news for the Timberwolves is that it appears as though they've got one brewing with Oklahoma City. The bad news is that if the Thunder are to return to Minneapolis, it won't be until the playoffs.
Pro athletes use different things to motivate themselves. The great ones use the opposing crowds to elevate themselves to a higher level. That is exactly what Kevin Durant did Saturday. He torched the Wolves for 48 points and with each glare at the Wolves bench or smirk after another fourth quarter 3-pointer, the over 18,000 inside the gym grew more agitated.
Durant and the Thunder got the last laugh Saturday. I can't wait until the Thunder return.
Spurs rescheduled:
The NBA announced that it has rescheduled the Wolves-Spurs game that was supposed to be played in Mexico City to April 8th at Target Center.

The U.S. Catholic Church is celebrating National Vocation Awareness Week January 13-19, 2013. The Church asks each of us to pray to hear the Voice of God and to discern our unique, individual calling, which is both gift and mystery.
In his letter to the faithful of the Diocese made available in parish bulletins the weekend of January 12-13, the Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge said, "I encourage you to pray daily for the grace to continue to live a life worthy of the call you have received and to provide the help and encouragement that our young people need to respond generously to God's call."
Bishop Burbidge expressed his gratitude to everyone "for praying for our twenty-one seminarians by name and asking God to give them the joyful gift of perseverance."
Three of the twenty-one, Deacon Nick Cottrill, Deacon Tom Duggan and Deacon Ryan Elder, are scheduled to be ordained to the Priesthood on June 1, 2013, at St. Michael the Archangel Church in Cary.
Mr. Michael Burbeck, who is in Third Year Theology, is scheduled to be ordained to the Transitional Diaconate at Sacred Heart Cathedral on April 6, 2013.
Information on the Diocesan Vocations program, including lesson plans and materials for all ages, is available at http://www.raleighvocations.org/. Additional information is available on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Vocations website, http://www.foryourvocation.org/.

News: The-Dream Speaks On Kanye West Collabo, "We're Gonna Try To make It Happen" [Video]
Friday, Mar 13, 2009 10:53AM
R&B singer The-Dream has spoken on rumors about an upcoming collaboration album with fellow Def Jam label-mate Kanye West, revealing that he cooked up the idea.
The hitmaker detailed how the idea of a joint album first came together.
"It was first thought of by me," Dream said in an interview. "I was in Miami at the time, and I gave Kanye a call and said, 'The best thing would be for me and you to do an album.' I feel he's at a certain place in hip-hop, I'm at a certain place in R&B, and lyrically, I'm just in a certain place in my lifetime. Let's take the best of both worlds and put it on a CD and try to make something we can sell to the consumers. He says he's with it. We're gonna try to make it happen. I told him, 'Let me lift my profile up a little bit.'...It wouldn't take that long at all, once we got the concept." (MTV)
Both artists have recently been spotted at venues performing together.
One of Def Jam's local fetes will include a MySpace "The Release" show Thursday night, at West Hollywood nightclub Area -- complete with a Kanye West guest appearance to help perform the single "Walking on the Moon." The show, free to the first 200 people who arrive with a printout of their MySpace profile displaying The-Dream in their top friends, also will feature appearances from up-and-coming Def Jam girl group Electrik Red, and DJ sets from Dwele and DJ Knuckles. (Los Angeles Times)
Dream was also joined on stage by Fabolous and performed a number of hit songs.
Kanye West, Fabolous and a trio of scantily clad dancing girls joined The-Dream onstage last night at L.A.'s Area nightclub during a MySpace-sponsored performance celebrating the release this week of Love vs. Money, The-Dream's new second album. Songs included "Shawty Is Da Sh*t," "Fast Car," "Purple Kisses," "I Luv Your Girl" and "Rockin' That Sh*t." (Rolling Stone)
Ye is known for stepping out of the hip-hop circle with an emphasis on being a pop star most recently seen on his 808s & Heartbreak album.
With the loss of his mother compounded by a breakup with his fiancee, informed 2008's 808s & Heartbreak, a major change of pace that saw West singing most of his emotionally pained lyrics with the assistance of Auto-Tune. (All Music)

I will begin by stating clearly at the outset that I am not making any moral judgments on how people choose to root for their team. In this post, I will only analyze the position that sees 'suck 4 Luck' as a valid course of action and will not address any fan's desire to see the team perform poorly in order to ensure we get Andrew Luck. Cheer however you want. If you have given up on this season and wish to see us get a draft pick high enough to claim this talented college QB, I cannot help but see that as at least one reasonable point of view. So long as the word 'should' does not appear in your choice to root for next season rather than this one, I can only respect your decision (others will clearly disagree).
My concern is with the very odd notion that we 'should' suck for Luck. One comment claimed that we need to give up on the season "so we can get Luck," speaking as if there were a causal connection between the two. A post went so far as to give a plan of action, including keeping Sparano in all season and starting Devlin. In my opinion, the claim we "should" suck for luck, is an incoherent statement (for those who like big words, I could call it an 'ontological fallacy') as it does not point to any realistic aspect of how a professional sports team functions.
Now, please, do not misunderstand me. I am not claiming that fans must be fully realistic. If we were, we could hardly discuss the game considering our position as football outsiders (no pun intended). Obviously, part of the pleasure of being a fan, especially being a fan on a fan forum, is the fantasy that we are in the position of GMs, coaches and players. When we use the term 'should', we express this fantasy. When we say, "We should have drafted Ryan Mallett," we are, on some level, putting ourselves in the position of GM. When we question a redzone play call, we are, on some level, imaging that we are the OC. When we say that Henne made a smart decision, we express what we might have done if we were in his shoes. All of these conversations are based on a vivid imagination in which our own expertise, born of the love of the game, is played out in a virtual realm where our decisions carry weight. It is a fantasy, but it is also part of the fun of football.
Turning to 'suck 4 Luck', I am of the opinion that it fails even as an imagined team goal. Speaking for myself, I only enjoy speculation regarding what the team should do if I can believe that the team can realistically make that decision. Perhaps I am off base, but I believe most of us are the same in this regard. During the offseason, we enjoy discussing who we should draft. The conversation, however, would quickly disintegrate if people were to consistently claim that we should draft five of the top 10 first round prospects. Obviously, this is impossible and would eventually kill any fun we might have in discussing it.
I believe the same is true of the notion 'suck 4 luck'. My question is, who is it in the Dolphins organization that would implement this plan intentionally? (Unintentionally, that may be happening as we speak, but that is a different conversation.) Is it the coaches? Will they purposefully decide to call bad plays to ensure we lose? That seems highly unlikely. These are men who may very well be looking for a new job in January, and they will have a much higher chance of getting one if their resume shows that they were able to pull together some wins even when the team is in shambles. Sparano will not be a HC next season, but he might be an assistant, and a team may place a premium on him if they think he can be good assistant HC who can step up in case of emergency. That premium goes down if he tanks the season. Maybe it will be Henne? Of course not! He is playing for his future. Perhaps Ross? But, how exactly will he tank the team? Will he pay someone off to do it? That is too absurd to even address. In the end, this is a team of professionals. Perhaps they aren't the most competent, and haven't fielded a satisfactory product, but they also gain nothing individually by tanking the season.
The result of this little thought experiment is that we cannot identify who would actually do the "sucking", at least purposefully. In that way, it fails even as fan speculation. As noted, this is not a problem for those who simply want to root for losses. Considering some of the aggressive statements essentially saying "we have to suck for luck", as if it were imperative, its unreality is quite ironic. So, I do not believe "suck 4 luck" is a coherent proposition.

Diane Lane and Josh Brolin Divorcing
Diane Lane and Josh Brolin Can't Make Their Marriage Work
After 8 and a half years of marriage, veteran actors Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have decided to break up.
"Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have decided to end their marriage," their rep issued in a very concise, cut and dry statement today.
The pair married in August of 2004 and within 5 months, Lane had called the police citing an altercation with her new husband. Brolin, son of actor James Brolin, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery but Lane later declined to press charges.
Brolin was also arrested in the Summer of 2008 after a fight in a bar while filming on location in Louisiana. And, recently he made headlines when he was picked up for public intoxication on New Year's day in Santa Monica. "It was New Year's. It was a pretty innocent thing. It was a fun thing," he said at the time. "The most awful thing about it is you see this shot of me, they don't show you the other shot when I turn and I have a huge smile on my face."
This was the second marriage for both Lane, who's been acting her whole life, and Brolin. She was married to "Tarzan" actor Christopher Lambert and Brolin was married to actress Alice Adair from 1988 to 1994 and they had two children - a son, Trevor and girl, Eden. Brolin and Lane have no kids together.

Your poem, on a bus
Calling all bus poets! Poetry on buses is back. This year's theme is "writing home." You can find submission guidelines here.
Bus cuts are coming
Thanks to the failure of our state legislature--and the subsequent failure of Prop 1 (aka, "plan B"), King County will lose 72 bus routes and see reduced service on over 100 more. There is a chance a plan will be cobbled together to save some service, but it will be even less ideal than the less-than-ideal plan that just failed.

Dear Traveler,
Caroline and I are pleased to offer our latest travel inspiration - a new line of VBT
Cross-Country Ski Vacations. We are convinced that this active way to explore is perfect for VBT travelers. Cross-country skiing does not require athletic prowess, just two arms and legs and a willing pair of lungs. It's safe and easy, and (as with all our trips) our Cross-Country Vacations let you ski as much or as little as you want, with flexible trail options and plenty of activities when the skis are put away for the day.
We've selected spectacular locations—from the Dolomites to the Alps to the Canadian Rockies. You'll not only revel in jaw-dropping scenery, you'll be immersed in charming Slovenian folk customs, fantastico Italian cuisine, fairytale Austrian castles and Canadian wild west lore. VBT has been showing travelers these places for more than 40 years, and during that time we've built great relationships with local hoteliers, restaurants, and of course, our excellent local Trip Leaders. Now, we're thrilled that we can leverage these assets to bring you a whole new season of discovery. We have another special asset, too: Garrott Kuzzy, a member of the 2010 US Olympic Ski Team who's helped us develop these trips. Garrott knows his way around a trail, but also knows a thing or two about après ski.
So look forward to a typical VBT vacation with great cuisine, spa pampering, friendly pubs and more fun than a school snow day. As for Caroline and I, we're looking forward to a winter more wonderful than ever before. We hope to see you there!
